Chapter 215: Backstab of the Righteous Path
Something is wrong. These demons are completely different from the ones we encountered before.
Cui Chengyun from the Demon Suppression Division looked at Hong Hua and others below and was very surprised.
Because he had just attacked many times and basically did not hold back.
But even so, he failed to keep any of the seven people.
What's even more bizarre is that his righteous energy had actually hit Hong Hua and others.
But these attacks did not have the desired effect.
If there were only one or two such people, Cui Chengyun could still explain that it was because these one or two people were extremely powerful and were the geniuses among the evil demons.
But if this is the case for every one of them, the situation is undoubtedly very strange.
Not to mention that these guys started running somewhere as soon as they saw him.
Even a fool would know that this was an attempt to drag him into a trap.
Regarding this, Cui Chengyun would not be so arrogant as to let these guys leave just because he is a third-level Gu cultivator.
At least a few of them should be dealt with first.
When he thought of this, Cui Chengyun immediately took real action.
I saw a special power beginning to emerge on his right hand.
"It's thunder magic!"
It was as if Hong Hua had eyes growing on his back and he noticed Cui Chengyun's situation at the first moment.
Boom!
Accompanied by a dull thunder, a thick purple lightning bolt was released from Cui Chengyun's body.
And this purple thunder seemed to be just a fuse.
Then, more thunder began to fall towards them.
Faced with this terrifying thunder, Hong Hua and others could only display their own unique skills.
Otherwise, before they could run into the sword formation set up by Lu Chen, they would be killed by Cui Chengyun's thunder.
It was also at this moment that Hong Hua and others understood the difference between the third-level Gu cultivators and other Gu cultivators.
That is, after reaching the third realm, the Gu cultivator can start to fuse some other Gu insects into his own natal Gu, so as to make his Gu insects have more power.
In this respect, it is similar to the Jindan stage cultivators who transform their own Tao into danwen and leave it on their golden dan.
It’s just that the Jindan stage cultivator failed, which means he can’t continue to improve his potential.
But if the Gu cultivator fails, he will be attacked by his own Gu worms.
In the worst case, one will die on the spot.
Cui Chengyun is a rare being who has integrated multiple poisonous insects.
The thunder magic he was using now was the earth-level poisonous insect he had once obtained - the purple lightning poisonous insect.
Although it is only an earth-level poisonous insect, Zi Dian is even slightly better than his heaven-level innate poisonous insect in attack.
"roar!"
Hong Hua roared, and his body instantly turned into a fierce tiger full of energy and blood.
Then he turned around and slapped the purple lightning that was flying towards him with his claws.
Bang! The thick purple lightning was instantly dispersed by Hong Hua's claws and turned into arcs jumping everywhere.
These electric arcs fell on Hong Hua's body of qi and blood, and shattered part of his body of qi and blood on the spot.
But this illusory body is not Hong Hua’s real body.
So actually it didn't cause much damage to it.
The other two evildoers from the Giant Spirit Sect also used similar methods at this time.
There is no doubt that what they are performing now is the "Nine Changes of Rebirth" that Wushenshan once used.
But it is different from Wushen Mountain in that both appearance and qi and blood change together.
The "Nine Changes of Reverse Life" performed by Hong Hua and others were only changes in qi and blood.
This is either because Hong Hua and others have not practiced enough, or because they have some concerns and only dare to perform to this extent.
On the other side, the cultivators from Wuxiang Valley and Qixuan Sect were also trying to deal with Cui Chengyun's thunder magic.
They displayed some of their respective unique skills.
The method used by Wuxiang Valley was similar to that of summoning gods.
They all put on a faceless mask, and then used secret methods to allow a mysterious power to descend upon them.
After this, their original faceless masks will show the corresponding faces of "gods".
And allow them to possess this 'god'-like ability in a short period of time.
On the other side, Qi Xuan Gu used puppetry.
The only difference is that their puppets are different from ordinary puppets. They are half corpse and half puppet.
Although its physical strength is slightly weaker than that of ordinary puppets, its flexibility and skills are much stronger than ordinary puppets.
Surrounded by purple lightning, Cui Chengyun, standing on the thundercloud, snorted coldly when he saw the seven people below blocking his first wave of attacks.
"Let me see how long you can hold out."
Having said that, Cui Chengyun launched another attack.
And this time, Cui Chengyun seemed to have added the power of righteousness into the purple lightning.
This increases the power of these thunders to a higher level.
As a result, the situation of Hong Hua and others immediately became dangerous.
Just saw under this intensive thunder attack.
Even the strongest Hong Hua could only dodge passively. He would try to resist it when he couldn't dodge it anymore. He didn't dare to have too much contact with these thunders.
Under such an attack, the originally green bamboo forest not only became a mess.
A large number of flowers, plants and trees were ignited by lightning, and even spread to the surrounding bamboo forest, turning the place into a sea of fire.
But the strange thing is that the bamboos in the Polygonatum odoratum forest are not ordinary plants.
It shouldn't be so easy to ignite.
This made Hong Hua instinctively feel that there was something wrong with the fire.
Sure enough, when the surrounding flames became fierce to a certain extent.
Cui Chengyun now had a special poisonous device that looked like a feather in his hand.
"rise."
The originally disorderly flames began to gather in an orderly manner under Cui Chengyun's control, and soon formed huge flame whirlwinds around Hong Hua and others.
These whirlwinds of fire were even mixed with some sharp and mighty sword energy.
And this is the power of Cui Chengyun’s third insect poison... the Three Flame Gu.
Purple thunder descended from the sky, and there was a terrifying threat of "Three Flames" all around.
Looking at the huge fire tornado that was over thirty meters long around them, Hong Hua and others stopped for a moment.
It’s not that they don’t want to run, but if they still only think about running at this moment, the only fate that awaits them is to be defeated one by one by Cui Chengyun.
Besides, they were not far from the sword formation set up by Lu Chen.
The commotion here must have attracted Lu Chen's attention.
As long as they hold on a little longer, Lu Chen should be able to arrive soon.
Based on the strength that Lu Chen showed at the gathering of heroes.
With the help of the seven of them, killing the third-level Gu cultivator in front of them would definitely not be a difficult task.
As for the possibility that Lu Chen knew about it but did not come, Hong Hua and others thought about it, but they quickly ruled it out.
Because such things are unnecessary.
In the eyes of Hong Hua and others, Lu Chen is a real person from the ancient world just like them.
We are all cultivators, although cultivators in the ancient world would often eat each other alive if they had a disagreement.
But in this new world like Zhongzhou, not only do they have no conflicts of interest with each other, but they also have many areas for cooperation.
After all, Zhongzhou is such a big place, even if they only get a small part of it, it is enough for them to eat their fill.
In this case, what is the point of their infighting?
Therefore, Hong Hua and others' trust in Lu Chen is even greater than that in others.
It can be said that they are the group that trusts Lu Chen the most, except for King Wumiao and Shangguan Yunmeng.
But they didn't think of one thing.
That is, since they can disguise themselves as immortal cultivators, why can't Lu Chen disguise himself as a 'cultivator'?
Hong Hua looked at the area covered by the three flames, thought for a moment and shouted: "Don't hide, find a way to solve the current predicament first!"
After saying that, Hong Hua was the first to reveal his cards.
With a burst of flesh and blood squirming, Hong Hua's body immediately turned into a half-human, half-tiger creature.
A violent aura was released from him without reservation.
When the other two giant spirits nearby saw this, they also used similar methods.
One man's arms turned into wings and he became half man, half bird.
The other one's lower body turned into a snake body, and his head turned into a triangular snake head, looking like a snake man.
When they see Daqianmen, they stop pretending.
Two villains from the Black Lotus Sect in Wuxiang Valley, one villain from the Shihe Cave in Qixuanmen, and the last villain who was a casual cultivator, all showed their true abilities.
The Black Lotus masks seemed to have been completely integrated into their faces, making them look like they were no longer simply summoning gods, but had become gods themselves.
The effect was that their bodies underwent varying degrees of mutation.
From the original two arms, it has become four arms now.
As for the monk in the Shiqie Cave, he directly summoned a coffin and released the Shiqie that he had been hiding.
As for the last wandering cultivator, Xie Nie, there were not many changes.
The only thing he could show off was a strange human-faced drum.
There is no doubt that the human-faced drum must also be an ancient magical instrument.
Looking at the seven people who showed their true abilities, Cui Chengyun's eyes became even colder.
If he had had some concerns about killing seven people before.
But now he has no worries at all.
These guys who are neither human nor ghost are obviously evil at first glance! And evil ways... everyone should punish them! "Evil ways are evil ways. The deeper the cultivation, the more twisted they are. They are really ugly."
Cui Chengyun looked at the seven people below with cold eyes, and immediately controlled his "Purple Lightning" and "Three Flames" to sweep towards them.
Hong Hua was the first to bear the brunt and punched the nearest Three Flames Fire Tornado.
Swish!
The three-flame fire tornado collided with Hong Hua's fist, making a harsh metal friction sound.
A large amount of sparks were released from Hong Hua's fist.
It was as if the fire tornado didn't hit any flesh and blood body at all.
But it's hard metal.
What surprised Cui Chengyun was that the Three Flames Fire, which could have severely damaged a third-level Gu cultivator head-on, was actually blocked by Hong Hua alone.
The three-flame fire tornadoes in other directions were also temporarily blocked by other evil spirits.
It’s just that their strength is not as strong as Hong Hua’s, but if the two of them work together, they should have no problem dealing with a three-flame fire tornado.
But Cui Chengyun’s attack is not limited to the three flames.
The purple thunder around him still exists.
Boom!
Just after Hong Hua had just shattered a three-flame fire tornado.
A purple lightning struck him accurately.
At this moment, a baby head suddenly appeared on Hong Hua's shoulder, and it screamed sharply at Cui Chengyun's thunder.
The next second, an invisible barrier covered Hong Hua's body, helping him block the deadly thunder.
But just when Hong Hua was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a figure appeared beside him.
"I didn't want to get my hands dirty with you guys, but now it seems that if I don't hurry up, you might really get away."
Before Hong Hua could react, a flash of sword light flashed across his back.
Phew!
This sword not only broke Hong Hua's tiger body directly, but also knocked him back a distance and smashed him heavily to the ground.
But just when Cui Chengyun wanted to continue attacking, he suddenly found that his feet seemed to be trapped by something.
Cui Chengyun lowered his head, and several minions who appeared from nowhere had grabbed his ankles.
Although the strength of these minions is not strong, they are only at the foundation-building stage.
But there are too many of these guys.
It is hard to imagine how many people Hong Hua must have devoured to have these dozens of Foundation Establishment stage minions.
Although Cui Chengyun was not afraid of these minions, their existence successfully delayed Cui Chengyun for about one second.
In a flash, Cui Chengyun immediately realized that all this was Hong Hua's trick.
He expected that he would make him the first target, so he used himself as bait to lure himself into attacking him.
And almost at the moment Cui Chengyun was trapped.
The other evildoers around them attacked Cui Chengyun instantly as if they had made an agreement.
The corpses in the Corpse Cave, the special magical powers of the Black Lotus Sect, and the ancient magical tools used by the evil cultivators.
Without exception, these attacks have reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, or have exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For a moment, Cui Chengyun's figure was completely submerged in the smoke raised by the magic.
A moment later, just when everyone thought that this would be enough to get Cui Chengyun into trouble.
A figure suddenly flew out backwards.
And the figure that flew out was none other than the corpse from the Corpse Cave.
The corpse had a sunken chest and his mouth was full of black blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
The monk from the Shiqie Cave who was connected to its mind was immediately attacked and turned pale.
When the smoke cleared, Cui Chengyun's eyes turned purple and blue, and a white vertical eye grew between his eyebrows.
The original purple lightning and three flames were now all absorbed into his body, turning into mysterious patterns that spread all over his body.
If Cui Chengyun before only made Hong Hua and others feel a little bit difficult.
At this moment, Cui Chengyun really made them feel the threat of death.
After seeing this scene, Hong Hua lost all his will to fight.
They had only one thought, that is, why Lu Chen had not appeared yet. Could it be that he did not notice the situation here, or was he being held back by someone? What Hong Hua and others did not know was that Lu Chen had not only come, but had also been here for some time.
But he did not rush to take action, but watched it all coldly.
Not only that, Lu Chen even secretly displayed his own sword domain.
This sword domain is not only meant to deal with Cui Chengyun, but also to restrict Hong Hua and others so that they cannot leave here.
This move was undoubtedly a betrayal for Hong Hua and others.
This... is the backstab from the righteous path.
What morality does Lu Chen have to talk about when dealing with these evildoers? PS: I was fed too much by my relatives, and I wanted to ask for leave, but then I thought about it and decided not to. I still have to write at least 4,000 words, so I can only update one chapter today.
