Xu Huaigu hid behind the lush shrubs in the back garden, looking at the bright red flame above his head, like the end of the world, dyeing everything around him bright red.
This scene looked familiar, and it reminded him of the dream he had seen on the banks of the Lingjiang River.
And that dream came true.
He could see a small shadow in the monstrous flame. The shadow was like a grain of corn in the flame, but Xu Huaigu knew that the flame was burning because of this grain of corn.
The newcomers were at least strong in the Eighth Realm, and they might even be in the Ninth Realm. Xu Huaigu couldn't estimate it clearly. But he could see Qi Chaoshu walking out of that room with a solemn look on his face, and he knew that something was not going well tonight.
The man with strange flames all over his body was a Nine Realm Great Demon specially invited from another continent by the Demon Sect branch of East Fuyao Continent to assist in the mission here. This is the advantage of the Demon Sect. Their heritage is far beyond that of a peaceful country. They can continuously send out strong men, but these countries or sects can only passively defend.
There is one question that Xu Huaigu has not understood for a long time, and that is why the power of the Demon Sect is so powerful, even so powerful that if they do not unite, no sect or country in the world will be a unified general of the Demon Sect.
Then why didn't the righteous path simply unite to wipe out the demon sect at once?
How did the Demon Sect develop and grow from its early days?
In fact, there is a lot of knowledge involved, which can be seen from the overall structure of the Demon Sect. The high-level personnel are always from the human race, and the demon clan with the highest combat power in the Demon Sect is only a great demon in the tenth realm. Compared to the master of the Demon Sect, Fu Shui, who is in the eleventh realm, or Xue Shenggui, who is the best in the world and is half a step into the twelve realms, they are all far behind.
There is also one of the deepest secrets hidden by the Demon Sect.
Qi Chaoshu went out and looked seriously at the flames on the horizon.
The flame did not seem to weaken because it could not break through the barrier of the palace. Instead, it burned more violently, and even the edges of the flame turned into black flames, which was quite terrifying.
Xu Huaigu felt very uneasy. He didn't know whether the palace's defensive barrier could withstand the full attack of a Nine Realm Great Demon. If not, no one in Xingqing will be able to resist this big demon tonight.
The spell chanting in the small room continued, and the white light emitted inside was completely obscured by the flames of the great demon, but Xu Huaigu could still feel that the ceremony had reached its most critical stage and could not be disturbed in the slightest.
Of course, the unknown great demon from the Ninth Realm also saw this, and he began to continue to use flames. The black around the edge of the flame gradually spread to the entire flame, and then gradually transformed into blazing white light, like a sun rising at night.
The barrier seemed to be unbearable under the burning of the flame. Some cracks spread out from the center of the flame, and some of the heat of the flame penetrated.
Xu Huaigu was surprised by the flames of this big demon. It was really too hot. He didn't know what kind of ancient monster this big demon was.
Qi Chaoshu saw that Xingqing's defensive array could not withstand it for long, so he no longer stood on the ground, but soared upwards.
Across the barrier that was about to be broken, he stood face to face with the great demon at the center of the flame.
While the magic circle could still hold up for a while, he began to gather his energy and fist intention.
He put up a boxing stance, and the intention of the fist flowed along his movements like a stream.
Facing an enemy who is a level higher than himself, his fists remain firm and unyielding, without the slightest hint of fear of surrender. This is the charm of a true martial arts master.
A warrior is most particular about one breath when facing an enemy.
The realm can be defeated, but the momentum must not be weakened at all. Just throw your fists and don't care about the person in front of you. In front of me is the leader of the sect, the god of the mountains and rivers, and the thick soil of the sky. I only have this one punch to punch, and I will definitely punch it!
"Snapped……"
This defensive formation from hundreds of years ago was finally overwhelmed by the attack of this great demon and shattered. At this moment, the magic circle no longer protected the entire palace, and a heat wave with a strong aura of death swept over.
Xu Huaigu was instantly pressed to the ground by this momentum, unable to move. The palace in Xingqing City was also obviously severely damaged. Many of the flowers and green leaves in the back garden instantly fell off, and the ones left on the branches also tended to wither and turn yellow.
Xu Huaigu forcibly circulated the spiritual energy in his body, trying to resist this pressure.
Only by feeling the coercion emanating from a Nine Realm Great Demon up close can one truly understand the earth-shaking abilities of a great monk.
Xu Huaigu is also a person who has seen the world. During the Battle of Binxi, he also watched the battle of several Nine Realm monks from a distance. For example, the master of the Fuyao Sect, Sword Immortal Luo Yiran, used his sword to open up mountains, and Murong Di's Five Thunder Heavenly Technique, which summoned thunder from the sky. Even Deng Zhiyuan's "Xihe" sword before he fell, and the bones and withered hands of Ying Ya, the elder of the Ten Realm Demon Sect, those methods were no match for the big demon today, but those battles at that time were far away from him. It's still too far away, so the feeling is far less profound than now.
He raised his head vigorously and looked at the fighting figures in the sky, for fear of missing this once-in-a-lifetime battle.
Although Qi Chaoshu was also forced to take a small step back by the flames, he immediately regained his stance and ran towards the big demon's flames without fear.
He rushed into the flames, and then Xu Huaigu could no longer see his figure clearly, and could only hear the night wind mixed with the roar of the flames.
But Qi Chaoshu's bravery doesn't seem to change anything. Soon, a small ball of flame flew out from the big ball of flame and smashed into a small lake in the royal back garden.
The small lake was hit by this huge force, and the lake water was splashed extremely high. Then the splashed lake water had been evaporated into mist before it could fall back into the lake.
Qi Chaoshu was engulfed in flames and was driven to the bottom of the lake.
The flame of the great demon was still burning at the bottom of the lake. So this lake seemed to be boiled, and steam was coming out.
The nameless monster never said a word, and he didn't seem to care whether he wanted to kill Mo Dao. His goal from beginning to end was to kill Lin Hongzhi.
He couldn't drag his feet. Yao Zong spent too much energy on this operation, which even far exceeded the value of Dayu Country itself. Just think, a Nine Realm Great Demon cannot be an unknown person. Is it possible that no one on the right side will keep an eye on it? Let him cross continents to East Fuyao Continent, and then go all out to hide it from the local sects and countries in East Fuyao Continent. Only the Demon Sect himself knows how much it cost and how many low-level monks died.
And he didn't want to delay.
So he raised his index finger.
As he moved, the flames around him became spiritual, and a green fire whip was separated from the flames and stood upright in the air.
The fire whip is the essence of this flame. Even if a seventh-level monk resists with all his strength, it only takes a moment to turn him into charcoal.
And these mortal objects will turn into nothingness as long as they touch the green fire, leaving not even ashes behind.
The fire whip fell directly on Lin Hongzhi's room without any hesitation.
Xu Huaigu glanced at the room with pity. He knew that there was no possibility of escaping from such a powerful attack by such a big demon. He could only be grateful that he was far enough away, otherwise even he would not be spared.
But at this moment, the moonlight seemed to flicker slightly, like it blinked.
Xu Huaigu felt touched.
Everything in the world has its fate and consequences, and there are traces to follow.
The moonlight moves for a reason.
The big demon was complaining a little. He knew what happened, but he had no choice. He had to kill Lin Hongzhi, so he was not distracted and still controlled the fire whip.
A figure emerged from the lake. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Lin Hongzhi's house and blocked the blow with his body.
Even though the martial artist is originally known for his physical invulnerability, water and fire, but faced with the flames of monsters at a higher level, he may be seriously injured even if he is not dead.
After this blow was blocked by Qi Chaoshu at great risk, the big demon no longer had the chance to attack Lin Hongzhi.
He got into trouble because of the blinking moonlight.
Because, that flicker of moonlight meant that Liang Chen was here.
