Grandma Suzaku's expression revealed a solemnity and fighting spirit. Facing the golden talisman's killing technique, she quickly retreated. Behind her, a huge Suzaku was surrounded by flames, and the high temperature spread in all directions.
As she retreated, many monsters collided with her body.
However, before they could make contact, the monster's body was burned to ashes by the flames on Suzaku's body. Her retreat opened up a bloody path on the battlefield.
In the Taotie Beast City, the low-level cultivators and mortals all looked up at the battlefield in horror. Seeing Grandma Suzaku being suppressed for a time, they were filled with fear in their hearts.
"This is the first time I've seen the city lord in such a state of disgrace."
"That demon cultivator is truly extraordinary. He was able to fight the city lord to such an extent with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation. Sigh... What a pity! It would have been so much better if he had taken the right path."
"Everyone, please pray for the City Lord and his men. Given the ruthless methods of that demon cultivator, if the City Lord and his men are defeated, our lives will be in danger."
"I have a plan..." A weak voice sounded among the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the man was just an ordinary person.
Being stared at by a group of cultivators, this mortal was not intimidated. He puffed out his chest and said, "Those demon cultivators and monsters are coming with such force. Why should we confront them head-on? Why not use the teleportation array to leave quickly before they attack the city and make plans later?"
As soon as these words came out, this mortal immediately received a lot of people's contempt and disgust.
Someone snorted coldly and said, "How can an ordinary person activate that formation? Activating a teleportation formation requires a huge amount of spiritual energy, and only a Jindan cultivator can do it."
"Besides, who would dare to activate the teleportation array without the city lord's order?"
"Perhaps this method can save most of the weak, but the city lord is in a difficult situation right now, and we have no say in the matter."
Everyone has this thought in their mind, but no one is qualified to make this decision.
It is human nature to be afraid of death, so they can only place their hopes on the monks fighting against the monsters.
"Collect the souls!" Xue Kong grabbed the ground with his big hand. In an instant, a strange and inexplicable force surrounded his palm. As his voice fell, the corpses of the monks and monsters who died in the battlefield around him shook together.
One by one, souls flew out of the corpse, circled in the air, and then merged directly into the unified soul body, making its aura even more powerful.
With this power, the Heyi Soul chased after Grandma Suzaku.
Xue Kong's eyes flashed, and he strode forward, but his target was not the rapidly retreating Grandma Suzaku, but the six Nascent Soul monsters and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators who were fighting for the Suzaku Spirit.
The Heavenly Demon Battle Body gave Xue Kong several times the physical strength, and even more terrifying recovery ability, which made him walk very fast. Combined with the [Nine Ghosts Soul Moving Technique] and the teleportation technique, although his cultivation was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, his speed had already exceeded that of the late Nascent Soul stage.
It flashed through the air without any avoidance.
Anyone who collides with its body, whether it is a monster or a cultivator, will be hit by a mountain and collapse and disappear.
A bloody road was cleared by Xue Kong himself.
"This Vermillion Bird Spirit, Xue has accepted it!" Xue Kong's voice was as chill as the underworld. As it gradually dissipated, his body flashed past, passing directly over the cultivators and monsters, and appeared next to the Vermillion Bird Spirit.
A big hand stretched out, trying to imprison the spirit of the Vermillion Bird.
"Demon cultivator! Stop it! That is not something you can touch!" The old man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul shouted angrily and flew forward to stop him.
Although he had never fought with Xue Kong, he had caught a glimpse of Xue Kong's strength, who was able to defeat Grandma Suzaku. If such a powerful figure were allowed to seize the Suzaku Spirit, it would be their doom.
However, facing the old man's attack, Xue Kong turned a blind eye and grabbed the Vermillion Bird Spirit's neck with his right hand to restrain it.
boom!
A shocking spell hit Xue Kong's back, and he staggered. The spell was so powerful that he couldn't stand steadily.
Xue Kong's back was charred black, and his black robe had been destroyed, revealing a strange body covered with demonic patterns that did not resemble a human body.
After a while, the charred color on Xue Kong's back gradually faded.
“What!? He withstood my fatal attack head-on and remained unharmed? What kind of body is this!!” The old man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul screamed in disbelief, losing his composure for a moment.
Faced with such a ferocious beast, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, the Nascent Soul cultivators and the monsters stopped fighting. They all stopped at the same time, staring at Xue Kong with unfriendly expressions, and also staring at the Vermillion Bird Spirit in his hand that was getting hotter and hotter.
A strong look of greed appeared in the eyes of the six Nascent Soul monsters. At this moment, other cultivators were no longer their enemies, but Xue Kong was.
"It is worthy of being the spirit of an ancient demon beast. It has not given up resistance until now and is still struggling to death." The spirit of the Vermillion Bird in Xue Kong's right palm struggled desperately, and the temperature became hotter and hotter.
Even Xue Kong couldn't help but sweat on his forehead when he felt it.
But he held the Vermillion Bird Spirit tightly in his hand, and even though his right hand was burning and smoking, he did not let go at all.
If it were the Xue Kong of the past, if he were in the body of a demon, his right hand would probably have been seriously injured by now, burned to the point of losing consciousness, or even burned to ashes.
However, at this moment, although his right hand was charred, it still maintained the shape of five fingers, achieving a delicate balance between constant burning and rapid recovery.
The powerful recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon War Body is extraordinary.
Xue Kong grabbed the Vermillion Bird Spirit and turned to face the three Nascent Soul cultivators and the six Nascent Soul monsters. He smiled faintly and said, "Why, are you planning to switch sides and fight me?"
His words did not specify to whom they were addressed.
But anyone who heard it would know who was being asked.
The six Nascent Soul monsters looked at each other without any expression. They then stared at Xue Kong, and their Nascent Soul cultivation suddenly burst out.
Six long rainbows flew straight towards Xue Kong.
Swish.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators all had complicated expressions. Not only did they not move forward, but they actually took several steps back. One of them shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please retreat for now and let them kill each other."
"Let's go help the city lord and kill that soul."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Xue Kong's expression remained unchanged. When the six Nascent Soul monsters rushed towards him, he did not retreat but advanced, grabbed the right hand of the Vermillion Bird Spirit, and suddenly attacked one of the monsters.
In an instant, the Vermillion Bird Spirit's body burst into high temperature.
Not only did it fail to burn Xue Kong, but he used it as a weapon and hit the belly of a monster beast hard. With one punch, the monster beast's belly immediately caved in.
The raging fire of the Vermillion Bird's spirit blazed and burned its body.
Roar! Roar! Roar!!
The monster grimaced in pain, its body flew back in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. It took it a long time to get up.
This punch contained the physical strength of Xue Kongtian's demonic body, and even more so, the high temperature flames of the Vermillion Bird's spirit. Not to mention it, even if the Qiong Snake was regenerated, it could not withstand the power of this punch.
However, greed did not make the other five monsters escape. They all used their own methods, and the magic light poured down on Xue Kong like rain of light.
