Chapter 490: Encirclement and Interception
The Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King had just commanded the army of demon beasts to move. The Xiaoyao Sect monks in Cuiyunfang immediately sensed something was wrong. Master Guangling confirmed that the army of demon beasts had gone north. After withdrawing, the news was immediately passed on to Bai Yuxian and others in Guiyunfang.
The army of thousands of monster beasts in Gaoyun County retreated all the way north, and it would take at least twenty days to reach Guiyunfang, which is thousands of miles away.
In addition, Zixingfang has been occupied by Song Qingming and others. If they want to bypass it, they must climb a very steep and huge mountain range in the west, which will take another seven or eight days. Just this Running all the way is enough to make this army of monsters become exhausted.
Faced with this army of monsters that wanted to escape back to the north, Xiaoyao Sect would naturally not let them escape so easily. Under Bai Yuxian's arrangement, Guangling Zhenren led Cuiyun, the southern guard The monks in the workshop kept following and chasing them, killing many slow-running low-level monsters and exacerbating the overall fatigue of the monster army.
When this army of monster beasts finally crossed the large mountain range to the west of Zixingfang, the army of monks from Zixingfang, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately rushed towards this army of monster beasts, which was low in morale and exhausted.
Seeing that the morale of the human monks was high and the low-morale monster army under their command was simply difficult to resist, the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King sensed that something was wrong with the momentum, so they decisively left the monster army and gave up directly on their subordinates. These low-level monsters fled north alone.
However, before the two of them ran far, several shield lights suddenly appeared in front of them and stopped the two demon kings. It was Li Xianyun, Song Qingming and Li Xianyun who had arrived here not long ago. Supported by the real person Guangling.
In addition, Wu Wenhai and others who controlled the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" puppet beast, although their escape speed was slightly slower than everyone else, they quickly appeared on the side of the battlefield. Obviously, Xiaoyao Sect Everyone was not going to let these two demon kings, who had caused harm to Gaoyun County for several months, escape unscathed and escape from the Wei Kingdom.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the four human golden elixir warriors who were chasing and intercepting them, the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King suddenly panicked and had no intention of fighting with Song Qingming and others.
The two demon kings immediately changed directions and began to escape separately. While speeding up their escape, they used secret techniques to urge several demon kings from Guiyunfang to come over for support.
However, it is not so easy for them to escape smoothly. As soon as the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King moved, Song Qingming and others immediately divided into two groups and chased after each other to fight with each other.
Guangling Zhenren and the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" worked together to fight against the weaker Gale Demon King. Song Qingming assisted Li Xianyun to stop the Nine, who had a higher cultivation level and had reached the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. The head demon king.
Although the Nine-Headed Demon King is also a demon king in the middle stage of the Golden Core, this demon does not have any powerful magical powers and secret techniques. Its strength is relatively average among the many demon kings in the middle stage of the Golden Core. It is not as good as the one originally entrenched in the Golden Core. Zixingfang Nine Patterns Jiao and Fire Leopard Demon King.
Li Xianyun alone has far surpassed the Nine-Headed Demon King in strength, and with Song Qingming helping him, this Nine-Headed Demon King was unlucky enough to be targeted by Li Xianyun. Although they resisted for a long time, they were eventually defeated and died tragically under Li Xianyun's sword.
Song Qingming, who was assisting Li Xianyun in the attack, had seen through this battle the magical powers of this genius who had been a famous defender of the country for hundreds of years, and he also had a new estimate of Li Xianyun's strength.
Unexpectedly, Li Xianyun, like Chen Xuanxin, another Jindan elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, is also a swordsman who specializes in swordsmanship. No wonder he is so powerful. Song Qingming estimates that within the Xiaoyao Sect, Among all the Jindan monks, except for the leader Yao Qianshu who was in his prime, no one should be sure to beat the current Li Xianyun.
After putting away a set of flying swords in mid-air, Li Xianyun landed next to the body of the nine-headed demon king and directly took away the demon elixir from the demon king's body in front of Song Qingming.
Then Li Xianyun took out a white porcelain vase from himself and used the secret soul collecting technique to collect the spirit of the nine-headed demon king that had turned into a ball into the porcelain vase.
Seeing the scene of Li Xianyun collecting the spirit of the nine-headed demon king, Song Qingming suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face. He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Fellow Daoist Li, do you dare to ask this demon king Soul, what do you want to use it for?”
"I promised Senior Li this time to help you deal with the monsters. I also made an appointment in advance to take away some of the monster materials I wanted. You should be aware of this, Fellow Daoist Song!" Li Xianyun replied with a cold expression. One sentence.
"Fellow Daoist Li has misunderstood. The secret technique I practice requires a demon king soul to break through the realm. I just want to ask fellow Taoist friend if you can transfer this demon king soul to me. I am willing. Exchange with fellow Taoists for other spiritual objects
Of course, if this thing is also very important to fellow Taoist, then let this matter go. Fellow Taoist, just pretend that I have not asked, and I will find another way in the future." Seeing Li Xianyun, he seemed a little confused. Having misunderstood himself, Song Qingming quickly explained with a smile.
Song Qingming wanted the soul of the nine-headed demon king precisely because he wanted to use it to practice the "Soul-Eating Art". Since breaking through the golden elixir, although Song Qingming's soul has become somewhat stronger than ordinary golden elixir monks, But compared with late-stage Jindan monks like Li Xianyun, there is still some gap. If he could break through the "Soul-Eating Art" to the third level of the Golden Core realm, the soul in Song Qingming's body should be immediately strengthened a lot, and by then he should be able to compete with late-stage Golden Core monks like Li Xianyun.
However, although Song Qingming has a good idea, it is not so easy to break through the "Soul-Eating Art" to the third level. Song Qingming has also tried several times in the past few years to refine the soul of the foundation-building monster. , but failed several times because the power of the refined soul was too weak. If he wanted to break through to the third level quickly, Song Qingming still needed to absorb the more powerful golden elixir monster souls.
It's just the soul of the third-level demon king. Very few people would go out of their way to collect this thing. Even the Shanggong Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect does not have this kind of spiritual object. If he wants to get this, Song Qingming must leave Weiguo. Try your luck elsewhere, or you can only risk hunting the Demon King and collect this thing yourself.
Going to the depths of the Fuyun Mountains to hunt down those powerful Golden Elixir Demon Kings was naturally not an easy task for Song Qingming, who had just broken through the Golden Elixir. He dared to have such an idea, but this time the monster turmoil allowed him to find some good opportunities to collect the soul of the Demon King.
Last time in Jinshanfang, Song Qingming killed the White Lion Demon King, and later successfully collected and refined the demon king’s soul. However, the soul of the White Lion Demon King was still a little short of the mark and was not allowed to pass. Song Qingming successfully broke through the "Soul-Eating Art" to the third level in one go.
Now seeing the nine-headed demon king soul in Li Xianyun's hand, Song Qingming was really moved. If he could successfully refine the soul of the demon king in the middle stage of the golden elixir, Song Qingming was very confident that he could A successful breakthrough.
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Li Xianyun shook his head slightly and said: "This monster spirit is of no use to me. I just happen to know a friend outside. She may be able to use this thing, so I will keep it first."
If Fellow Daoist Song wants this, it’s not impossible. Anyway, I already collected one when I was in Zixingfang. , it’s okay to give this Demon King Soul to you, but if you want to exchange it, you still need to bring out a spiritual object that can be useful to me.”
“Fellow Daoist Li, take a look at this thing first. , can you exchange this demon king's soul?" Song Qingming took out a smaller black porcelain bottle from the jade pendant hanging at his waist and threw it directly into Li Xianyun's hand.
Li Xianyun calmly opened the porcelain bottle and took a look, with a hint of surprise on his face. Then he threw the nine-headed demon king soul he had just collected directly to Song Qingming.
“This thing is indeed useful to me, Fellow Daoist Song, I will give this demon king soul to you!”
After completing the transaction with Li Xianyun, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Song Qingming's face. After thanking him, the two of them did not delay too much and immediately turned into a ray of light and left together.
When Song Qingming and Li Xianyun arrived dozens of miles away to meet up with Guangling Zhenren and the others, the Gale Demon King had already disappeared.
After the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King escaped separately, they were strangled for a while by Guangling Zhenren and the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger". Although they were seriously injured and lost the ability to fight back, they still let it go in the end. Relying on his powerful magical power of speed, he successfully escaped to the north, and met another demon king who came to rescue him, which made Guangling Zhenren and others reluctantly give up the pursuit.
The Gale Demon King was relatively lucky. He encountered the real Guangling who was not good at fighting and the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" puppet beast whose escape speed was weak.
Even though the Gale Demon King's own fighting ability is not strong, this demon king has a powerful speed and magical power, and finally saved his life at the critical moment, unlike the Nine-Headed Demon King. He ended up being killed on the spot by a human monk.
Seeing that the Gale Demon King had escaped, Song Qingming and several other Jindan monks had no choice but to return to the battlefield. Before they could rush over to help, the unprepared army of demon beasts on the main battlefield had already been rushed by the Xiaoyao Sect monks. They lost their formation and fled in all directions.
These monsters were already a tired force because they had been anxiously on their way and had just crossed the steep mountain range behind them. In addition, the two leading monster kings abandoned them and fled alone as soon as the battle started. It made them completely lose their fighting spirit. Not long after the battle, many monsters had already taken advantage of the chaos and fled.
There is no suspense in this battle. It almost turned into a one-sided massacre from the beginning. Among the thousands of low-level monsters brought back by the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King from Gaoyun County, there was only one in the end. A small number of them fled back to Guiyunfang in the north, and most of them died tragically at the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect.
