After Zhao Huai killed the Golden Scorpion Demon King with one sword, a glistening scorpion phantom escaped into his body, and he felt his cultivation slowly rising.
But not much. After all, he is already in the Nascent Soul realm, and the Golden Core Demon Clan can only perform tooth sacrifices.
The large number of beasts retreated slowly as if they had been instructed by something.
The dust rose up into the sky, and all the giant scorpions retreated into the ground again.
The strange bird hovering in the sky quickly left, not forgetting to stare at Zhao Huai's profile carefully before leaving.
Each of the armored soldiers in the yellow sand looked like they were surviving the disaster.
The disciples of the sect also regained their composure, sheathed their swords, and helped up the crimson-robed sword cultivator who had fallen to the ground in a panic next to him. The other man stood up with his sword in hand, walked towards Zhao Huai, and bowed in salute.
"Thank you, senior, for your help. The Baji Sect will remember this life-saving grace!"
In the world of immortality, those who are capable are the most successful, and those with high cultivation level are the best. It is extremely difficult to get rescued by noble people.
"Junior Liang Rusong, dare I ask my senior, are they reinforcements sent by the Great Xia court?"
Liang Rusong asked very seriously.
In his eyes, Zhao Huai was already a first-line powerhouse like a sect elder.
To be able to kill the Golden Scorpion Demon King with one sword, he must be a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Such a figure is also a rare big figure for a disciple of his small sect. After all, the leader of the Baji Sect is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Faced with the question, Zhao Huai thought carefully about it. He came to Xizhou because his wife was on a personal expedition. He was worried that something might go wrong, but he still nodded and agreed:
"So be it."
Liang Rusong sighed and said, "It would be nice if there were more strong men like the seniors. Since the Empress of Great Xia established Anxi Mansion to resist the invasion of Manghuang, the entire front line of Xizhou has moved thousands of miles eastward."
"The altar of Xizhou has been destroyed. The wild world has occupied Xizhou for three years. So many terrifying demons appeared out of nowhere."
"There are countless demon kings under each demon emperor. The most powerful among them are the eight demon kings. The demon kings who have survived three physical catastrophes are comparable to the gods. The golden scorpion demon king only survived A physical disaster, not to mention several demon kings above the gods."
When Zhao Huai heard this, his expression gradually became serious.
After the demon clan reaches the third level of transformation, it will go through three transformations, corresponding to the fourth, fifth and sixth realms respectively. It is called the physical disaster, which is the history of the demon clan. It awakens the alien blood in the body, coming from various ancient evils.
The great demon in the seventh realm can be called the Demon King. His strength is unpredictable, he can absorb the light of the sun, moon and stars, and he has the same natal magical powers as the human monks.
It is recorded in the classics that in the early Middle Ages, it was the place where the demon masters ascended. At that time, there were thousands of demons, each of them disobedient, and the world was a smoky, violent place.
It was not until the supreme leader of the human race and the immortals from all over the world came over to formulate education and order that everything returned to peace.
But since then, the human-monster clan has also forged an irreversible conflict.
The land of oasis in Xizhou.
The wind was strong, and batches of birds of prey that blocked the sky flew from the east sky.
A scarlet black bird with four eyes first landed on the shoulder of a man with black wings and a sharp beak on the sand dunes on the shore of Bihu Lake in the oasis.
The pair of shiny black wings were as long as three people, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes were revealed under the withered leaf bamboo hat.
"Another Nascent Soul cultivator has appeared. It seems that the strategic plan needs to be adjusted. We cannot attack important cities everywhere. If the guys from Huangquan seize the opportunity in Zhongzhou, will we still have half a day to eat in Manghuang?"
The eagle's eyes kept turning, his pupils condensed and then dispersed, and he said calmly.
"Perhaps we should set our sights on Anxi Mansion?"
Soon, he touched a horned skull on his hand, a dark light flashed, and thick black mist poured out.
"I will report it to the Demon King first. Each demon king is fighting on his own, and it is inevitable that Daxia will have his fighting power dispersed. The top priority is to gather a large army and launch a fierce attack on Anxi Mansion."
"Finish your work in one battle."
"This Nascent Soul cultivator must also pay attention, and a specific demon king must be assigned to deal with it."
On top of the dunes.
Zhao Huai stood on the dark green fairy sword, bowed his head to the disciples of the Baji Sect beside him and asked: "How many important cities are there around here?"
A beautiful disciple said honestly: "There are twelve in total. The demon emperor sent various demon kings to lead the demon army to knock on the city gate. Now all the sects are helping the Great Xia court to guard the border, but the manpower is still not enough. Many sect disciples died in the battle, seniors, why not go help them, the demon clan on our side should not dare to invade for a while."
"In that case, take care of yourself."
After getting the answer, Zhao Huai did not stay long. After taking a look at them, he rode the wind with his sword and left.
Several female disciples from the sect were left discussing curiously.
"How long do you think this senior has been practicing? He is still so young."
"I guess, after practicing for hundreds of years, it's really rare to still look so handsome."
"It must have changed his appearance. I have never seen a Nascent Soul cultivator within a hundred years."
It's a pity that Zhao Huai couldn't hear these words.
In the blink of an eye, he had escaped for hundreds of miles. Along the way, he encountered some small-scale melees between humans and monsters. He solved them all with one sword and then left gracefully.
[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let’s take a look at it]
Zhao Huai knew that he would face a fierce battle next, so he took out the golden copper coins to check the blessings and misfortunes.
"Divining the direction of the situation, I need many different endings." He couldn't help but think to himself.
Soon the big characters appeared in front of my eyes.
[Hexagram 1: Iron clothes are shattered in the battlefield of hundreds of battles, surrounded by barbarians and surrounded by heavy siege, go deep behind enemy lines, and go straight to the base camp. The instructions you get are "disaster". 】
[Hexagram 2: Skulls are all soldiers of loess. They fly into ashes on the battlefield at dusk. They move to fight in border areas. The instructions you get are "disaster". 】
[Hexagram 3: One person can make a city three thousand miles away, and one sword can be used as a million divisions to prove the Tao through killing, and to defend Anxi Mansion. The instructions you have received are "blessings". 】
Seeing this result, Zhao Huai thought slightly.
It seems that it is not a wise move to make a big move with a small gain or to fight in a border city.
I almost got the second ending.
Only the location of Anxi Mansion is the most important. If it is attacked by the demon army, all efforts will be in vain.
On the battlefield, there is often nothing but reality.
One second it was safe and sound, and the next second the army invaded with overwhelming force. It would be bad if they went straight to Huanglong.
After thinking about it, Zhao Huai rushed towards the direction of Anxi Mansion in his mind.
Anxi Mansion is already located in Zhongzhou, but it is only separated from Xizhou by a desert. It is an important military location.
But at this time.
The sky was blazing with fire, and a fireball fell from the sky, with a diameter of more than ten feet. The heat of the explosion distorted the space.
A cold voice came from the fire.
"Interfere in the Demon Emperor's plan and die!"
A gigantic creature appeared, a big red crow with a cloud crown of fire, and red bell eyes. It spread its wings, and flying sand and rocks immediately flew up.
"Red-Eyed Fire Crow, the fifth realm demon king, has experienced two physical transformations, and is comparable to the human Nascent Soul monk."
Zhao Huai narrowed his eyes and saw the true form of this monster.
The Fire Crow Demon King opened his mouth, and a powerful wave of scorching heat immediately surged out.
Hua Hua——
The sound of the earth burning and cracking was extremely harsh, and the destructive heat wave immediately spread out, actually setting off a sandstorm, and the yellow sand covered people's eyes.
The human monks in this heaven and earth city noticed the movement here and rushed over one after another. When their consciousness noticed the scene in front of them, their whole bodies were trembling with fear and their hearts were panicked.
"This is a great demon that has undergone two physical transformations! It has awakened part of the blood of the ancient three-legged Golden Crow, and its strength cannot be underestimated! Once it spits out this breath of fire, it can easily destroy a city!"
"It's over. The elder is not in the city and has gone to help other places. If the big demon attacks, can this city still be defended?"
While many human monks showed fear on their faces, a young monk looked at the center of the sand and exclaimed in surprise:
"Look, who is that! He is actually standing in the center of the battlefield, opposite the Fire Crow Demon King!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's consciousness turned towards the distance.
The Fire Crow Demon King opened its bright and huge wings and flew on the sky. Facing the man in white in the center of the ground, he breathed out a breath of flames, like a falling fire meteorite!
boom--
The scorching energy fluctuations, with the terrifying aura of the demon king, spread out like water waves, destroying everything in sight, and even the gravel became scorched black.
A cloud of fire rose directly from this side of the sky, and dust rose into the sky until the clouds were like a mountain of flames falling down.
A huge, bottomless pit was left directly on the ground.
Only then did everyone realize and react, unexpectedly saying:
"Isn't this demon king coming towards us?"
"It's very possible that it's looking for trouble for the man in white."
"No, what kind of existence can make a demon king treat it so carefully?"
Among the monks, a beautiful woman in a long skirt with a blue lotus pattern couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the disappearing figure of the man in white.
The junior brothers around saw her expression was different and said curiously:
"Sister Lu, what's wrong?"
"I think I've seen this man in white before"
"Do you know this person?"
This junior brother was also surprised. You must know that Senior Sister Lu is a famous young genius of their Wangxian Sect. After several years of seclusion, she successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm and became the mainstay of the sect.
She has been in seclusion for so long, so she probably hasn't seen anyone else.
"It just looks like an old friend I met."
Lu Wanqiu saw that the man in white did not appear again after disappearing, worry appeared on her pretty face, and her heart was also tightened.
That's too bad.
All the monks' faces turned ugly.
The Demon King's attack just now was able to kill all the Golden Core cultivators, and Nascent Soul couldn't resist it head-on. They didn't dare to think about how they could survive.
But soon, a scene that shocked their jaws happened.
A figure dressed in elegant white clothes appeared unscathed in the void, and with five flying swords on his back, they all rotated in a circle with a cold light.
He raised his right hand, pressed it slightly, and sent five flying swords in five directions to suppress the Fire Crow Demon King.
"One handful, two handfuls, three handfuls."
"This, this, this"
The human monks below were amazed when they saw such a dazzling flying sword.
They also use swords, and of course they know that usually a sword cultivator can only have one flying sword.
The more you control, the more requirements you have on the monk's own cultivation and talent.
The Fire Crow Demon King looked very ugly when he saw that this blow failed to kill Zhao Huai or even hurt him.
"My strength is not that good, but my escape speed is quite fast. I would like to see who is faster."
The Fire Crow Demon King turned into a stream of red light, dodged the five natal flying swords, and let out a long cry in the sky.
The sound sounded, and the demon beast herds once again showed their shadows from the east and north sides. The two ordinary demon kings each brought tens of thousands of beasts to the city gate, hoping to take advantage of the human monks. Capture the city when you are at your wits end.
"It's an army of monsters. Quickly return to the defense and garrison the city!"
A monk warned loudly, and everyone reacted immediately. They all rushed towards the city gate with flying swords to suppress and attack the monster clan!
Lu Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Huai's safe and sound figure, and she also stepped forward with her long legs and used her sword to kill in the direction of the monster army.
It's really him.
It's no wonder it's him.
After so many years, his strength has become much stronger than hers.
"kill!"
Wangxian Sect disciples were in mid-air and fired fireballs and water dragons, expensive talismans were spilled out, and various methods emerged in an endless stream. Daxiaxi's soldiers formed a military formation, and in a mighty formation, they thrust into the monster army from the side like sharp knives. , while guarding the center of the city.
After a while, the killings on the ground were extremely brutal. The yellow sand was stained with the blood of human blood demons, and a strong fishy smell hit their faces.
Zhao Huai had no time to pay attention to them.
Instead, he wielded five flying swords to suppress the Fire Crow Demon King.
This was his first time using five swords at the same time, so he had to get used to it.
The Fire Crow Demon King is very powerful and experienced in combat. He is definitely a demon king who crawled out of a pile of bones.
The demon clan is no better than the human clan. The weak eat the strong. If they want to obtain resources, they can only become stronger.
Therefore, every demon king cannot be underestimated, and Zhao Huai will not commit the taboo of underestimating the enemy.
He found the right moment, flicked his wrist, and struck out with the lightning-fast Purple Lightning Fairy Sword. The dense grid captured the trajectory of the Fire Crow Demon King as it flew across the sky.
Swish——
Electric light flashed and a sizzling sound fell.
A red fleshy wing was cut off and fell to the ground.
The Fire Crow Demon King's expression changed drastically, his speed slowed down, and Zhao Huai kicked him down again.
Boom!
He kicked him into a deep pit, then took the purple lightning and stabbed the ground with his sword in the air.
He must be killed directly.
At the critical moment, the Fire Crow Demon King broke out in cold sweat and sacrificed a palm-sized ox-horned skull.
A thick black light flickered, covering him directly inside.
Just enough to withstand the blow.
There was panic in his eyes.
Within ten breaths of the opponent, he cut off one of his wings, and his strength could be said to crush him.
In fact, after several attacks failed, he wanted to leave, but he was always locked by such a white-clothed swordsman, and it was useless no matter where he went.
The strangest thing was that the Fire Crow Demon King found that the man in front of him had always been in peak condition and had never declined.
He felt like he was facing a vast and unfathomable ocean, unable to find out the details.
Just like a 1,000-meter race, your physical strength must be very strong at the beginning and become weaker as you go.
But this human monk, on the contrary, beat him harder and harder.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhao Huai looked at the horned skull and narrowed his eyes. He felt an extremely terrifying aura from it.
This power seems to come from the Demon Emperor.
