Chapter 274 Demon General [Two in One]
Chi——
Faced with the flying monster, Liang Yue shot up to the sky, and his body flew out, instantly attacking him. The wolf's body was chopped into two pieces.
Qi Yingwu was on guard, ready to deal with other monsters at any time. The three of them all had extraordinary understanding, so they naturally formed a formation that was most suitable for a sudden advance without having to communicate with each other.
Chen Xuanjiu used the magical power of Buddhism to guide the way, so he tried to make as few moves as possible. Liang Yue, as a warrior, was leading the way, and Qi Yingwu, as a qi refiner, provided remote assistance and was alert to the surroundings.
After killing the demon wolf, the three of them continued to move forward in this formation.
The road in the deep forest was dangerous. After walking a few steps, another giant tree suddenly emitted a demonic aura, and the surrounding vines began to swing, trying to restrain the three of them.
Liang Yue swung his sword to cut off all the protruding tree vines, while Qi Yingwu raised his hand to draw the secret. A mysterious thunder fell from the sky and struck the tree, causing a raging fire.
“Ah——” The giant tree let out a muffled scream.
With the sound of wailing, its body began to swell and seemed to be about to explode.
"Be careful!" Chen Xuanjiu saw that the demonic energy in its body was expanding violently, and immediately shouted a warning, and the three of them retreated together.
Boom!
Then the tree emitted a huge roaring and exploding sound, covering an area of more than ten feet in radius, and turned into a sea of demonic flames.
While dodging, Chen Xuanjiu caught a glimpse of a dumb squirrel on a branch nearby. It seemed a little stunned when faced with the flames and explosions. It made no movement and was about to be engulfed by the sea of flames.
He raised his hand and picked up the squirrel. When it landed, he held it in his palm and saved it.
But when he took another look at the squirrel, the cute little beast that looked a little silly suddenly bared its teeth, revealing two ferocious fangs. Its eyes turned red, and it opened its teeth to give him a hard bite. of!
Chi.
Beside him, Liang Yue stabbed the sword blade directly into his mouth, and at the same time, he did not forget to pick the squirrel and threw it away.
Sure enough, his body exploded in mid-air, and a ball of demonic flames rose up.
"Be careful with the things in this damn place, they will explode if you hit them." Liang Yue reminded.
Before he finished speaking, an inconspicuous little white flower not far away suddenly exploded, releasing a cloud of poisonous gas.
Qi Yingwu waved his hand and used his magical power to disperse them, and added: "If you don't fight, it will explode."
"Alas." Chen Xuanjiu sighed: "It seems that all the creatures in this mountain are dead. Already possessed by a demon, all those who have spiritual consciousness are full of murderous intent. "
Any creature possessed by the demon, whether human or demon, is an extremely dangerous existence. Because they will completely lose their minds and do whatever it takes to kill, even if they self-destruct.
This is also the reason why the demon sect has been severely cracked down on. Not only are some of their methods of practice evil, but the existence of these demon cultivators is a huge hidden danger.
During the cultivation process, once the demonic cultivator is swallowed up by the demonic energy, he will turn into such a monster, which does not distinguish between right and wrong, friend or foe, and only lives for killing.
And the probability of them becoming possessed by demons is slightly higher - as long as they continue to practice, nine out of ten may end up becoming possessed by demons.
Fortunately, many demonic cultivators have been eradicated by the righteous path, stabbed in the back by their colleagues, or backstabbed by those they thought were righteous fellow practitioners... Half of them may die before they become demons, which lowers the probability a bit.
But because the practice is simple and grows quickly, there are still many people who continue to join the big family of the Demon Sect.
If you are truly gifted and practice until the end, the pinnacle of demon cultivation will be the Demon Lord Dongyue Peak.
His body has been shattered, and just the spilled demon blood can contaminate this place for hundreds of years, spawning so many monsters, which shows how terrifying Dongyue Peak was in its heyday.
Chen Xuanjiu glanced at the sky in the distance and saw the sun beginning to set in the west, and said: "The later it gets here, the stronger the evil spirit will be. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with after dark, so we have to speed up our pace. "
...
Fortunately, Yuanshan is not too high, and the three of them have superb cultivation. Although they were careful along the way, their climbing speed was not slow.
Before the sunset shone through, we had already arrived at a cave near the top of the mountain. The interior was dark, deep, and filled with evil energy. At first glance, it looked like a cave where the big devil lurked.
"The place with the strongest demonic energy in this mountain is deep in this cave. It seems that we have to go in."
Following Chen Xuanjiu's guidance, the three of them stepped into the cave resolutely.
After stepping in, I could see a little bit of what was going on inside. Once you enter, you will find a very open cave, like a small square, surrounded by bare black stones. No wonder there is no light at all.
There is another cave entrance at the other end. It seems that there is a road inside.
But there is a man squatting in the center of this cave. He is dressed like a woodcutter in the mountains. His face is not clear because his face is covered with black lines formed by the accumulation of evil energy. He is holding a Holding a small axe.
Maybe it was really a woodcutter who was cutting wood on the mountain, and he was infected by the evil spirit and stayed here.
Before the three of them approached, he kept muttering, "If you can't chop wood again, my mother-in-law will be angry."
"Hurry up and chop wood and go home, baby. Can't wait to eat."
"Take firewood to exchange for rice and vegetables..."
As the three of them slowly approached, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the three young people. The man showed a cruel smile: "Here comes the firewood."
Seeing that he seemed to still have a trace of spiritual consciousness remaining, which was better than the monsters outside, Liang Yue asked: "Your Excellency, do you know where the demon-suppressing soldiers are?"
"The demon-suppressing soldiers?" The woodcutter stood He stood up, picked up the small ax in his hand, and said fiercely: "The demon-suppressing soldiers are inside, come and get them!"
After saying that, his body suddenly burst out with a strong black arrogance, heading towards The three of them rushed over!
Liang Yue swung his sword to meet him, and struck him head-on with a clang.
Unnamed, he bumped into the shabby-looking wood-cutting ax and was suddenly slashed back. The huge force contained in it shook Liang Yue more than ten feet away, and he almost flew out of the hole.
Qi Yingwu's supernatural power unfolded, the universe was divided, and a circle was drawn in the void, trapping the woodcutter inside.
He rushed forward, as if he hit an invisible barrier. With a ripple, his body returned to the circle from the other side.
But the magical powers from outside were able to get in. Qi Yingwu and Chen Xuanjiu joined forces, and white and golden lights flew through the invisible barrier and landed on the woodcutter.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
He was beaten so hard that he kept roaring and shouting, and a puff of black air escaped.
It seems that Qi Yingwu and Xuanjiu did fight side by side when they were training in the illusion, and the two of them cooperated very well.
Seeing the black air in the circle getting stronger and stronger, after filling the entire space, it exploded instantly with a loud bang!
Boom!
This explosion filled the air with black mist.
The three people retreated quickly, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the mist, swinging a short ax at an extremely fast speed, and slashed at Qi Yingwu. The previous round of attacks didn't seem to have any impact on him!
Qi Yingwu felt the wind at his feet, twisted his body, disappeared with a huff, and appeared at the edge of the cave entrance.
The Vajra Fist arrived on the other side, Chen Xuanjiu activated the Dharma, and punched his body away, hitting the cave wall. The Vajra mana has the effect of sealing, making it impossible for him to escape for a while, but he can only hold on for a moment.
But that was enough. Liang Yue followed closely behind, his long sword piercing the woodcutter's chest and abdomen with cold light.
The demonic energy leaked crazily from the wound, making people shake their minds. Chen Xuanjiu and Qi Yingwu were only a little bit contaminated from a distance, and they were already in a trance, and they were busy chanting incantations to stabilize the shrine.
However, Liang Yue did not seem to be affected at all, and his consciousness was still clear.
This surprised the two of them. They didn’t know why his spiritual thoughts were so powerful. They just have some relationship, but Liang Yue is complaining about it?
After nailing the man to the wall without leaving a name, Liang Yue didn't care about the evil spirit, but activated his sword intention and cut down with the sharp edge, trying to cut the woodcutter's body in half!
“Ah——” the woodcutter also screamed.
Seeing that Liang Yue was about to finish his work, a black light suddenly burst out from the woodcutter's body, and forcefully bounced Liang Yue away. After that, he hung his body in the air, and black energy surged through his body. His body changed, and he actually grew two more heads and four arms!
The ordinary woodcutter just now turned into a demon-like figure with three heads, six arms, and a dark body!
"I am a demon general, guarding the south! Who dares to pass through?" After the transformation, his eyes no longer seemed blank, but pure fierceness, "Accept your fate!"
This three-headed and six-armed demon general is no longer the same as before. With a wave of his hand, a half-moon-shaped black light shoots out. The six hands can shoot out a black light in the short breath, and it will explode when it hits the ground.
For a time, there was no room for the three of them in the entire cave!
“Something’s wrong, get out first!” Liang Yue shouted.
The current state of this demon general is obviously not something they can deal with. If they stay for a little longer, the three of them will have to answer here.
But even wanting to exit the cave is not that simple.
Chen Xuanjiu burst out brazenly, made a tactic with one hand, offered up the Vajra Dharma, and let out a loud roar like a bell: "Scout!"
As soon as the Dharma sound came out, there were golden ripples. Spread out of thin air, blocking the black light for a moment.
The three of them took this time to fly out of the cave together.
The demon general did not pursue him. Once he left the cave entrance, he could no longer see the situation inside and would not be attacked again.
It seems that he exists only to prevent people from passing through this cave, rather than purely for killing, and the monsters outside are slightly different.
......
At this time, a faint moon wheel has risen into the sky, and the demonic energy is flowing everywhere on the source mountain, so rich that it is almost turning into a substantial stream.
Even a piece of grass with no spiritual consciousness around it has a vague murderous intention.
"If you can't pass today, you should go down the mountain to rest first and come back early tomorrow." Chen Xuan rescued: "There is darkness and moonlight blessing at night, and the evil energy is too strong to deal with it."
Liang Yue Diandian Head, "At least this time I have tested the bottom of this demon general."
No wonder the Feng Taoists said that their Taoist hearts may be broken at this level. The monsters on this mountain are too strong. He is just a guarding demon general who has not yet encountered the possible big demon king, so it is so difficult to deal with him.
He is a small boss and has reached the second stage.
Qi Yingwu frowned slightly, "With the strength of this demon general, we may be able to deal with it before dawn. But if there is another demon behind him, he must be much stronger than him. With the three of us, we may not be able to deal with him. Difficult to eliminate.”
"Is it possible..." Liang Yue thought: "This level actually requires us to cooperate?"
"You mean to find people from other groups?" Qi Yingwu also thought of this level, Said: "It's just that there are only five Jade Linglongs to clear the level. If two groups need at least six people to cooperate, how to distribute them is a problem."
Chen Xuan rescued: "If I can pass the trial, I can give up Jade Linglong. . ”
“It’s not urgent, we don’t need to rush to sacrifice. We can talk about the distribution later. We have to see if others want to cooperate.” Liang Yue said: “I guess their progress should be consistent. It’s almost impossible for us to pass the Demon General level. After we go down the mountain, we will go to other villages to look for them. If we can cooperate with Senior Sister Wen and the others, we should be able to pass.”
There is such speculation because the strength of their team is also one of the best and there is no problem in cooperating. But it is so difficult for the three of them to deal with a demon general together, and even if the performance of the other two groups is strong, it will not be much better.
"Very good." Qi Yingwu also agreed: "You should find Miss Wen to cooperate."
Liang Yue felt a little strange when he heard his words, and said: "The first thing I consider is to cooperate with Senior Sister Wen, because She is powerful and immune to the influence of demonic energy. She is definitely the strongest in combat. "Yes, yes." Qi Yingwu and Chen Xuanjiu both nodded, "Of course it's because of this." "
Liang Yue: "? "
The way down the mountain is more difficult than the way up the mountain, because at night, the monsters in the mountain have red eyes, wandering around and killing each other.
They are even killing each other as monsters. Once they encounter a stranger, they will naturally fall into madness.
The three of them fought another bloody battle before they broke out of the siege and returned to the foot of the mountain.
Not far from the mountain crossing, I saw the village chief of Nangu Village waiting there with a group of people. Seeing the three people coming down, he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Three young heroes, how are you?"
"I'm ashamed to say that the demon generals on the mountain are difficult to deal with. We didn't pass. We may have to wait until tomorrow." Liang Yue answered truthfully.
"It doesn't matter, the strength of those monsters will be greatly weakened during the day." The old man smiled and said: "I let you rest in the village for a night, and then go up the mountain early tomorrow. Come with me quickly, the resting place and The food and wine are all ready for you.”
"Thank you." Liang Yue thanked him, and then said: "There is no need for wine and food. We want to go to other villages to find companions for cooperation, but we don't know how to go?"
"That's easy to say." The old man smiled and said: "A few of you Young hero has been tired for half the night. Let's have some food and drinks first and take a rest. I'll ask someone to show you the way later."
"The food and wine are really unnecessary," Liang Yue said emphatically.
"Oh, okay." The old man sighed, as if he was very sorry, "The young heroes helped us a lot, but they didn't enjoy our meals. I really feel bad about it. The mountain road is complicated, It’s difficult to travel at night, so I’ll take a few strong men to guide you personally.”
After that, he turned around and shouted a few times, called a few strong men, held a torch, and led the three of them in another direction. .
The Devil's Valley is very large. It is covered by ancient trees and the jungle is so deep that you can't even see the path even when flying in the sky. If it weren't for local people like them to lead the way, it would really not be that easy to find other villages.
After walking in circles for a long time, the surroundings became increasingly deep and quiet, and even the sounds of birds and animals disappeared. Finally, I saw a somewhat dilapidated village ahead.
Liang Yue looked around and suddenly asked: "Old man, are we going to Xigu Village?"
"Yes." The old village chief responded.
“That’s not right.” Liang Yue smiled and said, “Why do I feel that the smell of blood here is a bit heavy? Did a lot of people die in Xigu Village?”
"Then I don't know." The old man's smile was a little awkward, and he pointed in front, "Anyway, that's where it is. After you find your companions, you can ask them yourself."
Liang Yue said: " Dad, you acted very similar, and you did fool us a little bit, but you villagers still have some flaws."
The old man looked puzzled, "What are you talking about, young hero?"
"Since you have received the message from the Taoist Palace and learned that we are coming, as you said, if you take away the demon-suppressing soldiers, you will be free." Liang Yue said leisurely: "But generations of people have not left You didn't show any curiosity about the outside world, and you didn't show any joy at leaving. Your excitement is more about our arrival."
"I think either the information sent to you by the Dao Palace is different from what you said, or it is impossible for you to go out..." Liang Yue said word by word: "Because your demonic energy has not disappeared at all!"
"Haha." The old man suddenly smiled sinisterly, "I wanted to put medicine in the food and wine to knock you down, but who knew you could even resist the temptation of steamed weasels, so I had no choice but to bring you here."
"..." After hearing his words, the three of them were silent for a moment.
I bet you really think it is a good dish, but maybe someone will be fooled by the whole bowl of soy sauce rice.
"I am clean, why do you say that my demonic aura is still there? No matter how smart you are, you were tricked into coming here." The old man's voice turned angry again, "My son, Come out!”
As he roared, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps in the village behind him!
Good morning.
