Chapter 39 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (45)
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a strange fragrance that was so sweet that it made people nauseous.
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
According to past experience, once the "Star Meteorite" is found, the "Purification Mantra" can be performed smoothly. But at this moment, some runes that have never been seen before appeared on the surface of the "Star Meteorite". They flashed a strange red light and spread like blood vessels.
Liang Xu frowned, he held the "Star Meteor" in his palm, wisps of black magic energy overflowed from his fingertips and slowly entangled with the runes.
I was shocked. Immortal cultivators never use magic power to touch spiritual objects. This is likely to cause a conflict between the two forces, resulting in unpredictable consequences.
But Liang Xu's movements were unusually smooth, as if he was born to do this.
I looked at his focused expression and chose to believe him.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the air around seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Suddenly, Liang Xu opened his eyes abruptly, a hint of surprise flashed across his pupils, and then he regained his composure.
"Feng Ziang," his voice was a little hoarse, "these runes... are ancient magic runes." My heart sank. The ancient magic runes had been lost for many years. How did Liang Xu recognize them?
He continued, "I interpreted part of the meaning, and it points to... not what we thought..." His words stopped abruptly, and his eyes were locked on my face. I subconsciously held his hand tightly, and an ominous premonition surged in my heart.
Liang Xu's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.
"This rune...it doesn't seal the demonic power, but...strengthens it." He paused, a hint of disbelief in his eyes, "To be more precise, it strengthens...our strength." I was stunned. Strengthen our strength?
How is this possible?
"Xingyue" is a treasure in the world of immortal cultivation, how could it be related to the power of demonization?
Could it be that...
Were we wrong from the beginning?
Without time to think carefully, Liang Xu had already started to act.
He channeled his own magic power and slowly injected it into the "Meteoric Shroud" according to the instructions of the runes.
I held my breath and dared not make any sound for fear of disturbing him.
The red light on the surface of the "meteorite" gradually faded, replaced by a deep purple-black color that exuded a heart-pounding power.
A powerful energy wave spread out from the "meteoric" and I felt the spiritual power in my body surge like boiling magma.
The dark forces around us seemed to have sensed our changes and began to surge wildly.
The originally quiet forest became noisy, with the wind howling and the branches swaying, as if countless ghosts were roaring.
The strong smell of blood became more pungent, and the sweet aroma became more intense, making people nauseous.
Countless pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from the darkness, gazing at us greedily.
Demonic creatures, their number is greater than before, and their strength is stronger.
I drew my sword, and the blade emitted a crisp humming sound, as if responding to my fighting spirit.
Liang Xu stood behind me, black demonic energy swirling around him, forming a solid barrier.
"Here it comes!" Liang Xu said in a low voice.
Demonic creatures surged in like a tide, their sharp claws tearing through the air and emitting shrill screams.
I swung my sword, the sword shadow flashed, and I killed the approaching demonic creatures one by one.
Liang Xu released powerful magic power, forming a series of shields to resist the attacks of the demonized creatures in the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge crash was deafening, the surrounding trees were knocked down, and the ground shook violently.
We stood back to back, resisting this endless attack.
I was starting to feel dizzy and my strength was draining away quickly.
But I know that I cannot fall down. I must protect Liang Xu and protect our common hope.
The demonized creatures watching from afar also began to stir, their scarlet eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light...
"Feng Ziang..." Liang Xu's voice was a little hurried, "Their attacks..." "Feng Ziang, their attacks... are regular!" I woke up suddenly. The overwhelming stench and screams around me made me almost vomit, but a flash of enlightenment passed through my mind.
The attacks of those demonized creatures were not random. Every time they attacked, they would pause slightly at a fixed time interval!
I immediately informed Liang Xu of this discovery. After hearing it, we stood back to back, holding our breath, waiting for the next attack.
Sure enough, when the demonized creatures approached again, I clearly felt the brief stagnation of their power, like the vacuum when the tide receded.
"Now!" I shouted, and my sword slashed through the sky like a silver lightning, accurately hitting the vital point of a demonized creature.
Liang Xu also attacked at the same time, and black demonic energy rushed out like a mad python, devouring several demonized creatures.
We were like two sharp knives, tearing through the defense line formed by the demonized creatures.
Those crazy demonized creatures became vulnerable due to our tacit cooperation.
They howled and retreated, and their originally powerful offensive began to disintegrate.
An unprecedented feeling of elation surged into my heart. This was not only a victory in battle, but also a rebellion against fate.
I saw a glimmer of fear in those scarlet eyes. This fear belonged to us!
"Feng Ziang, be careful!" Liang Xu's deep voice rang out, pulling me back from my brief excitement.
I subconsciously raised my hand to block it, and the sharp claw of a demonic creature scratched my arm, leaving a faint blood mark.
I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on the sword again.
During the fierce battle, sweat kept oozing from my forehead, blurring my vision.
A pair of warm hands suddenly and gently wiped away the sweat on my forehead.
I turned my head and saw Liang Xu's deep black eyes staring at me with a hint of worry and concern.
I looked at him, and the warmth in my heart dispelled the fatigue of the battle. We stared at each other, and the danger around us seemed to disappear.
"I'm fine." I whispered, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised, feeling the rare peace at the moment.
This ambiguous atmosphere seemed particularly warm amidst the tense battle.
But just as we were preparing to adjust our status again, cast spells, and completely end this battle, the "Star" in our hands suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and the purple-black light instantly swallowed up everything around.
This light carries with it a strange attraction, and it seems to be producing some unknown reaction with the dark forces around it.
I felt the spiritual power in my body was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, surging wildly and out of control.
Liang Xu's magic power also began to become chaotic, sometimes violent, sometimes weak.
I looked at the "meteor" in my hand with horror. Its light became brighter and brighter, like a star about to explode, dragging Liang Xu and I into an unknown vortex.
Could it be that we are really wrong?
After the bright light, I found myself and Liang Xu in a strange place.
The air was filled with the ancient scent of ink mixed with a hint of dust, which made me cough a few times.
Liang Xu held me, his eyes showing the same confusion as mine.
