Flames shot up into the sky, cold winds swept across the earth, the aura of murderous destruction spread everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing was endless.
The monks in Kunlun's main formation looked at the fighting scene in the distance with nervous expressions.
If it was Master Chang Geng who was fighting against the Demon Lord, everyone would naturally not be so nervous - Master Chang Geng might not even give everyone time to be nervous. He might just kill the Demon Lord Wei on the spot as soon as he came on the field.
However, Master Qiongying has been fighting with the demon for such a long time, and there is no sign of him gaining the upper hand, let alone killing him. How can the Kunlun monks not be worried?
Although the cultivators below could only watch the fun, the senior elders of Kunlun Taiqing Sect could certainly see the tricks involved.
There was nothing wrong with Xu Yinglian's performance. Even if he did not have 90% of Qiu Changtian's strength, he at least had 80% - the reason why the battle was at a stalemate was mainly because the Wei demon on the opposite side was really powerful.
There are three main reasons why it is so powerful:
The first is that extremely pure demonic energy, which is the nemesis of almost all practitioners.
In order to pursue greater power, the Six Paths Kung Fu often likes to add turbid energy into the true essence to use it to attack the enemy.
Since turbid air is inert, highly polluting and difficult to remove, once it enters the enemy's body, it can have an effect similar to that of a deadly poison... Of course, this kind of turbid air is often a double-edged sword. If the proportion is too high, it will be difficult to control, and may even harm the person who activates it.
But for some reason, the proportion of turbid air in the body of the demon Wei was not 1%, 5% or 10%, but 100%. It was so strong that it completely transcended the category of turbid air and was an extremely terrifying demonic energy.
The purity of this demonic energy is comparable to the "immortal energy" cultivated through "The True Words of the Nine Heavens Pure Land Entering the Realm". If Xu Yinglian gets touched by even a little bit of it, his meridians will be immediately eroded, and even the performance of most of his body's strength will be affected.
Therefore, she could only be extremely alert and focus on fire-based Taoist methods to suppress and defend herself, so as not to let the evil spirit reach her. This invisibly took up a lot of her energy, so that she couldn't attack with all her strength.
The second is the Wanxiangjuexian Sword used by Wei Dongliu.
As one of the Four Swords of Jiejiao, its rank and power are self-evident. Xu Yinglian fought with the Yujia Sword, but was soon forced to focus on defense. If he really risked his life to fight against the Juexian Sword, the Yujia Sword's body strength might not be able to withstand it.
Wei Dongliu even had the leisure to activate the Wanxiang Juexian Sword Formation, forcing Xu Yinglian to counter with the Great Light Fire in order to consume her true energy.
The third one is naturally the golden silkworm Gu that contains hundreds of poisons.
This vicious insect is invulnerable to swords and guns, and cannot be harmed by water or fire. Although there are only three of them, when Wei Dongliu uses unpredictable methods to attack them, they can often attack from unexpected angles, making Xu Yinglian break out in cold sweats and become extremely flustered.
"Qiongying is no match for that demon." Master Ziwei made a quick judgment. "If the Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Formation is fully activated, with the power of the Great Bright Fire, it will definitely not be able to stop it."
"Master, are you saying that the devil Wei is being gentle and considerate to women?" an elder of Kunlun asked seriously.
Master Ziwei looked at the other party speechlessly, coughed and said:
"Chang Geng defeated the Shura Dao monks before, but didn't kill them. They are here to return the favor."
The Kunlun elders around were silent for a moment, and then they all showed embarrassed, as if humiliated expressions.
Defeat but not kill is not necessarily out of goodwill, but more of a way to prevent the opponent from continuing to provoke or even make him desperate when he is in an advantageous position. After all, if you are at a disadvantage, you naturally won't care about so many things and will do whatever it takes to win.
In other words, this demon Wei from the Fansheng Dao has already thought that the Demon Dao now has the upper hand, so he has turned around and started to humiliate us Kunlun?
"Let Master Qiongying come back." Master Ziwei gave the order quickly.
"Should we call Chang Geng back?" an elder of Kunlun asked in a deep voice.
"The battle is still in Guanzhong. Although the victory or defeat here is important, it will not affect the overall situation." Master Ziwei replied, "Let Chang Geng concentrate on managing Guanzhong and recovering the lost territory first. Starting tomorrow, let the Yuanying elders go over to fight!"
Soon, Xu Yinglian returned to Kunlun's main camp angrily and challenged Master Ziwei to a fight, saying:
"Master! Although the demon Wei is very powerful, I am not powerless to fight him! If we call off the battle halfway, won't that make the world underestimate us, Kunlun?"
"So what?" Ziwei Sect Master asked calmly, "This battle is mainly to contain Tiecheng Mountain. As long as we can contain the demons from sending troops from here, what does the outcome of a few battles matter?"
Xu Yinglian gritted his teeth and refused to answer, and could only say goodbye and leave angrily.
Indeed, the outcome of her contest with Wei Dongliu was completely meaningless to Kunlun and the Demon Cult.
But for her, Kunlun's winning streak was broken in her hands just as her senior brother left for Guanzhong. How could Xu Yinglian not feel upset?
"Senior Feng Lan." Xu Yinglian returned to his residence with an embarrassed look on his face. He sat there all night and finally spoke slowly, "I am still too weak."
Feng Lan in the Sea of Consciousness: ...
Don't be like this, Ying Lian! If your current strength is still considered weak, then other Jindan Zhenren and Huaxing monks can all commit suicide, okay?
But what kind of monsters are these on the human side? It goes without saying that Qiu Changtian's strength far exceeds the Golden Core Realm, so why is there another Wei Dongliu now?
No wonder the ancient demon tribe was driven to the Eastern Emperor Realm by humans. How could the human race possibly defeat such a large group of monsters?
"Well, actually, what you lack now is not the secret method." Feng Lan analyzed seriously and said, "It's your own true energy strength."
"Look, Wei Dongliu suppressed your Great Bright Light Flame with the Myriad Aspects Absolute Immortal Sword Formation, but if it was your husband's Five Thunders Righteous Method, he might not be easily suppressed by the other party. This is the difference in the quality of the true essence."
"If you want to seek revenge on that demon later, what you need to do is not to learn more secret techniques, but to work hard to improve your cultivation level."
"That's true." Xu Yinglian thought for a moment and agreed with this statement. "If I can enter the Youwei Stage in advance and surpass my senior brother by one realm, even if there is still a gap in the Jindan level, I can easily suppress my senior brother."
"That's what I mean." Feng Lan pondered for a long time and couldn't help asking, "But... isn't it that Wei the Demon you want to defeat?"
"How can the Wei demon be a match for my senior brother?" Xu Yinglian disagreed, "As long as I can defeat my senior brother, the demon is nothing to worry about."
Obviously, no matter when she entered the sect or now, no matter whether she was a young girl or a married woman, Xu Yinglian had only one goal to pursue from the beginning to the end.
Even though she had been defeated by Ling Yunpo, Wei Dongliu and others before, that did not make her change her goal.
On the other side, Wei Dongliu, who was unaware that he had caused trouble for Qiu Changtian's trumpet again, calmly returned to the sect hall of Shura Road in Tiecheng Mountain with the attitude of a winner.
"Friend Wei," King Ajatasatru asked with a smile, "You fought well. But with your overwhelming strength, why didn't you just kill the Phoenix Fairy on the spot?"
Wei Dongliu smiled faintly and replied:
"Master Chang Geng only defeated your sect's cultivators but didn't kill them. How can I bring shame to Liudao?"
“If we can get rid of the Phoenix Fairy who possesses the second-grade golden elixir, and remove a major threat to the Six Paths Sect, then what does it matter if we suffer embarrassment?” King Ajatasatru said disapprovingly.
“If you, senior, can take action to stop all the elders of Kunlun’s main formation, and even the old villain Chisong, so that they cannot come to rescue us, I will naturally kill the Phoenix Fairy.” Wei Dongliu answered calmly.
Upon hearing this, King Ajatasatru laughed and put the matter aside without mentioning it again.
