Chapter 43 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (49)
Just as we were about to cast a spell, a faint light appeared at our fingertips, and the air suddenly stagnated.
A cold dark force, like a crouching giant beast suddenly awakening, erupted from the depths of the magic crystal, and the powerful waves made my heart ache.
The evil energy around us suddenly became violent, like countless invisible hands, frantically tearing our clothes and devouring everything around us.
My brows were furrowed, and the feeling of uneasiness in my heart was magnified infinitely, like a cold hand, gripping my heart.
It feels like there is a whirlpool lurking beneath the calm surface of a lake that is big enough to swallow everything, and we are standing on the edge of the whirlpool.
Liang Xu's reaction was faster than mine. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the force, and in his deep eyes, a gleam of vigilance flickered like a cold star.
I know that this sudden change is no accident, a new crisis has arrived.
At this moment, a powerful aura, carrying a strong sense of oppression, came from far away.
A monk in a black robe with a stern face appeared in our sight.
His appearance was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing huge waves.
He stared at the items in our hands with a gleam of greed in his eyes, and said with an unquestionable arrogance: "Treasures like these are gifts from heaven to cultivators, and must not fall into the hands of the demons."
"This thing can prevent demonization. Now that the demonization crisis is imminent, this thing should not belong only to cultivators." I retorted coldly, with a hint of anger in my tone.
This iron-faced governor is so overbearing and selfish that it is simply disgusting.
Liang Xu also stood in front of me, like a solid wall, and said in a cold tone: "Preventing demonization is a major issue in the world. It doesn't matter whether they are cultivators or demons. Whoever can be used can be used."
"Humph, a demon is a demon. Don't try to deceive me with sweet words." Iron-faced Xiu Tu snorted coldly, with a strong disdain in his tone. "You demons will only bring disaster to the world. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and completely eliminate you evil demons."
He raised his hands, and powerful spiritual energy gathered around him. The air around him became dull and depressing, like the calm before a storm.
I could feel the murderous intent in his eyes, it was real and chilling.
"It seems that there is no way to resolve this peacefully." Liang Xu said softly. The demonic energy in his body began to surge, fighting against the spiritual power of Tiemian Xiu Tu, and there was a tendency for it to explode.
"In that case..." I tightly grasped the item that prevented demonization in my hand, feeling its faint warmth, and mentally prepared myself for battle.
However, at this moment, Iron-faced Xiu Tu suddenly smiled. A strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I thought you would first..."
He thought we would attack first.
However, I did something that he didn't expect.
I slowly put the item in my hand on the ground, and said in a calm and almost indifferent tone: "If you can resist the dark power of the magic crystal at this moment, this item will be yours."
Tiemian Xiutu was stunned. He obviously didn't expect me to do this.
The iron mask on his face obscured his expression, but I could feel the fluctuations in his aura, which was hesitation, doubt, and more...
fear.
The air around them seemed to be frozen. There was an eerie silence. Only the low humming sound coming from deep within the magic crystal struck everyone's heart again and again.
At this moment, the magic crystal's movement intensified.
Black mist gushed out from the magic crystal and quickly condensed into ferocious tentacles, carrying a terrifying dark power, sweeping towards Tiemian Xiutu.
Wherever the tentacles passed, the grass and trees withered instantly and the ground began to crack, as if it was corroded by some terrible force.
An expression of horror finally appeared on Tiemian Xiutu's face.
He waved the magic weapon in his hand, and golden light flashed, trying to repel the tentacles.
However, the tentacles seemed endless, continuously emerging from the magic crystal and surrounding him.
Liang Xu and I stood aside and watched all this quietly.
Liang Xu: I understand what he means. This is Tiemian Xiu Tu's own choice and he must pay the price for his greed and arrogance.
I watched Tiemian Xiu's struggle with an expressionless face, but I was not completely indifferent in my heart.
I'm not a murderer, I just...
Some things have to be done by someone.
And this person cannot be me, nor can it be Liang Xu.
Tiemian Xiutu's resistance became weaker and weaker. He had multiple wounds on his body and the black evil energy began to corrode his body.
He let out a roar of pain.
I closed my eyes slightly and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes.
I raised my hand, just about to...
"Feng Ziang..." Liang Xu held my hand. His hand was very cold, as cold as a piece of ice.
His hand was very cold, as cold as a piece of ice or as cold as a basin of cold water, which extinguished the murderous intent that had just ignited in my heart.
I turned my head, met his deep gaze, and read his silent dissuasion.
Yes, how could I be blinded by hatred and forget the purpose of our trip?
I took a deep breath and suppressed the surging spiritual energy.
The spiritual power at my fingertips moved slightly, and I closed my eyes, amplifying my perception to the extreme.
The dark power of the magic crystal surged like a tide, impacting my senses and bringing bursts of pain.
I tried hard to find a trace of order and a flaw in the chaotic fluctuations of spiritual power.
Sweat slid down my forehead, soaking my eyelashes, and the world in front of me was blurry.
Finally, when I was about to give up, I caught a glimpse of a faint fluctuation. It was hidden under the violent dark power, like a spark that was about to go out, but it contained powerful vitality.
I opened my eyes, pointed to the southwest of the magic crystal, and said hurriedly: "There! Attack there!"
Iron-faced Xiu Tu was obviously surprised by my sudden action, but the despair in his eyes and his instinct for survival made him choose to believe me.
Without hesitation, he mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, concentrated all the strength on one point, and struck hard in the direction I pointed.
A dazzling light flashed, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the black tentacles were dissipated as if cut by a sharp blade, turning into black mist and dissipating in the air.
The movements of the magic crystal gradually subsided, the air around it was no longer so depressing, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
Tiemian Xiutu stood there, breathing heavily. His face was pale and his body was covered with wounds, but his eyes were filled with relief at having survived the disaster.
He looked at me, then looked at the items on the ground, and finally turned and left without saying anything.
Liang Xu patted my shoulder gently, his eyes full of praise.
I looked at him with a slight smile on my face. The dangers around us seemed to have turned into a catalyst for our relationship, which seemed particularly precious after the tension.
