"No, I absolutely cannot give up!" Xiao Feng roared in his heart, gritting his teeth and desperately increasing his output of immortal power.
Su Mo's body began to tremble violently, and her tightly closed eyes slowly opened a crack.
His expression was one of extreme pain, his facial muscles twitching incessantly, as if he were waging a fierce battle against the demonic energy within his body.
A glimmer of clarity flashed in his blood-red pupils, as if he were searching for something.
"Get out!" Xiao Feng suddenly shouted, pushing forward with both hands.
In an instant, a surge of immortal power, like a monstrous wave, exploded within Su Mo's body.
The remaining demonic energy scattered and fled under this power, and was completely dispelled in the blink of an eye.
Su Mo's skin regained its color at a visible speed, and the bloodshot in her eyes faded, replaced by clear and bright eyes.
He weakly raised his hand, trembling, and touched his daughter's cheek, saying in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er...it really is you..."
Su Xueqing burst into tears, tightly holding her father's hand.
Su Mo looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with relief and guilt.
He wanted to say something, but he was too weak to speak, and could only convey his love with his eyes.
Xiao Feng was panting heavily, his face as pale as paper.
He forced himself to stand up, carried the weak Su Mo on his back, and then reached out to pull Su Xueqing: "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's find a place to settle Uncle first."
His voice was filled with undisguised exhaustion, and his body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.
The three staggered back in the direction they had come from.
Xiao Feng led Su Xueqing and Su Mo to the edge of the Wushan seal and said solemnly, "Xueqing, take Su Mo and leave here first."
Su Xueqing was taken aback by his words and couldn't help but ask, "What about you? What are you going to do staying here?"
Xiao Feng took a deep breath: "I must repair the seal; I absolutely cannot allow the demon god in Wushan to be resurrected!"
Hearing this, Su Xueqing couldn't help but worry: "But...can you manage on your own? Should I stay and help you?"
Xiao Feng shook his head slightly, a bitter smile playing on his lips: "Your presence will only distract me. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Su Xueqing bit her lip, but finally nodded: "Then... you must be careful."
Xiao Feng nodded solemnly, watched the two leave, and then turned and entered the mountains to begin searching for the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
He quickly found the location of the monument, only to discover that repairing the Demon-Suppressing Monument required the fire of the ancient divine beast Bifang.
"Damn it, where am I going to find Bifang's fire?" Xiao Feng cursed inwardly, and could only use his immortal power to barely maintain the cracks in the Demon Suppression Stele.
Just as he was about to leave to find a solution, a sudden gust of cold wind swept around him, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
Xiao Feng's heart tightened, and he cautiously looked around.
The next moment, several figures in black robes suddenly appeared around him. Xiao Feng had to use one palm to hold up the crack in the Demon Suppression Stele, and his immortal power turned into blue light to barely stabilize the collapsing stele.
His brow furrowed, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he thought to himself, "This is bad..."
Just as Xiao Feng was about to leave, black demonic energy suddenly surged from the ground, and five black-robed figures floated in mid-air, riding on the demonic energy.
Beneath the hood, his dark red eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and an aura of evil emanated from him.
The leader in black robes raised his hand and waved, causing demonic energy to condense into bone spikes that shot towards Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng flashed, and the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor instantly unfolded, with thousands of water droplets forming a shield to block the bone spikes.
However, the bone spikes that struck the water curtain corroded a black hole, startling Xiao Feng: "It's a demonic cultivator! This is a huge problem..."
Xiao Feng quickly assessed the situation and thought to himself, "Five demonic cultivators are too much for me to handle alone. I must finish this quickly and find a chance to break through!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng drew profound trajectories with his palms, and the water curtain transformed into nine ice dragons that spiraled upwards.
The ice dragon, imbued with immortal power, crashed into the man in black robes, only to be devoured by demonic energy.
Instead of retreating, Xiao Feng advanced, and the ice dragon suddenly exploded, sending countless ice crystals piercing the enemy like sharp swords.
The ice crystals burst open in the air, turning into countless tiny ice needles that shimmered with a cold light.
The man in black robes waved his sleeve to deflect the ice crystals, but the ground was frozen and cracked like a spider web.
Taking the opportunity, Xiao Feng retreated a few steps, pondering a way to escape.
The remaining black-robed figures chanted in unison, their demonic energy gathering into a massive black vortex, as dark as ink.
At the center of the vortex, countless hideous ghost faces seemed to be roaring, emanating a chilling and evil aura.
Xiao Feng's heart tightened, as he felt a powerful suction pulling him closer to the center of the vortex.
"Not good!" Xiao Feng exclaimed inwardly, quickly activating the immortal power within his body.
The Water Curtain Sky instantly unfolded, spinning wildly to form a giant water shield that enveloped him.
The surface of the water shield shimmered and constantly changed shape, resisting the suction of the vortex.
Countless ghostly hands suddenly emerged from the vortex of demonic energy, frantically scratching at the water shield like hungry ghosts.
The piercing "crunching" sound was incessant, as if it were about to tear the water shield apart.
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He formed hand seals, his entire body's immortal power surging wildly as he poured it into the water shield.
"Break!" Xiao Feng roared, and the water shield suddenly expanded, bursting open like a giant water ball.
Countless water arrows shot out, shattering all the ghostly hands.
The men in black robes involuntarily took a few steps back, their expressions changing slightly.
Taking advantage of an opening, Xiao Feng gathered immortal power in his right hand, and a golden dragon-shaped energy burst forth.
The energy surged like a dragon and an arrow, instantly piercing through the vortex of demonic energy and sending a man in black robes flying.
The man screamed and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a moment.
However, the other men in black robes seized the opportunity to pounce.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to dodge, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm.
A black-robed man's sharp claws had already torn open his flesh, and black blood seeped into the wound, making a hissing, corrosive sound.
"Ah!" Xiao Feng cried out in pain, feeling as if his right arm was on fire.
He endured the excruciating pain and used his left hand to perform a hand seal, activating the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor.
In an instant, moisture gathered wildly throughout the area, filling the air with a humid atmosphere.
"Open for me!" Xiao Feng shouted, and the water curtain condensed into a giant sword that hung in the air.
The giant sword was crystal clear and emitted a sharp, cold light.
Xiao Feng waved his hand and pointed, and the giant sword came crashing down, cleaving through the demonic energy with unstoppable force, heading straight for the man in black robes.
With two sharp "whoosh" sounds, the two men in black robes were unable to dodge in time and were cleaved in two by the giant sword.
Before they could even scream, they turned into a cloud of black mist and vanished into the air.
The remaining men in black robes were shocked to see this and turned to flee.
Xiao Feng would not let this opportunity pass by. With a flick of his wrist, several ice spikes shot out.
The blades whizzed past, striking the black-robed man's retreat path.
The sharp icicles gleamed coldly, blocking their path.
When the last black-robed man vanished into thin air under Xiao Feng's Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor, Xiao Feng staggered and leaned on the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
He was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and a hideous wound on his chest was still oozing blood.
