Chapter 125

The demon army turned Ning Chen's food into a buffet.

At this point, a battle to seize and defend the spiritual vein has completely begun.

Ning Chen fought like crazy, and if Xie Tingyun hadn't been beside him, he would have fought even harder.

Ning Chen restrained three Mahayana demons. If he restrained four Mahayana demons, it would be a stretch, and restraining three was almost in Ning Chen's comfort zone, which was a level where he could win but it would come at a price.

Ning Chen was used to fighting with injury-for-injury tactics, but Xie Tingyun was beside him and would always take the opportunity to gently bump into Ning Chen's shoulder when they passed by.

Before this happened, Ning Chen coughed lightly, consciously restrained himself, and then subconsciously continued to use this tactic at the next critical moment.

Xie Tingyun also knew that the injury-for-injury fighting style was most suitable for a demon like Ning Chen who had the talent for devouring, could absorb and replenish the magic energy at any time, and had a strong physique.

But he still couldn't bear to see Ning Chen do this.

After realizing that his actions of stopping her were an obstacle to Ning Chen, Xie Tingyun remained silent for a while, and finally gave up trying to remind Ning Chen in every possible way.

However, I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Xie Tingyun stopped reminding Ning Chen, Ning Chen didn't use it much.

He began to change his fighting style, focusing on attacking the Black Tide Leader, regardless of whether he was seriously injured or not, he would return to defend. Every time he used his killing moves, he targeted the Black Tide Leader, which made the other two Mahayana demons who were blocking Ning Shen terrified.

The current leader of the Black Tide is a successful example of someone who was suppressed for many years and then rose to power overnight. The previous leader of the Black Tide who challenged for the position of Demon Lord had already died at the hands of Ning Chen. Now the new leader of the Black Tide is facing Ning Chen again, and the fight is still to the death.

It is hard to imagine whether they would be able to withstand Ning Shen's highly targeted killing moves if they were in the position of the Black Tide leader.

The Black Tide leader was under unimaginable pressure, but he knew that as long as he held on, the first ones to be killed would not be the demons.

Xie Tingyun and Daoming have restrained five Mahayana demons. The situation is still clear and they are not unable to resist.

However, no one except Daoming could tell how long Daoming, a man who had fallen into evil and was using his own life to increase his fighting power, could persist.

Once Daoming, Daoxing or Daoling falls, one of the three spiritual veins will be lost.

The high-level has its own battlefield, and the low-level has its own battlefield. Liuyun Sect almost came out in full force, plus the sect protection formation, even though the high-level enemies of the demon clan had a greater number, but all these factors combined made it difficult for Liuyun Sect to defend its spiritual veins.

The only key to victory for both sides lies in the high-level powerful people.

The sound of fighting echoed throughout the sky. Blood accumulated in clumps on the ground, forming a thin layer that covered the ground. It was sticky when people stepped on it.

Those were all from the leader of the Black Tide, or Ning Shen.

Anyway, Ning Chen is too lazy to care about these things.

Thanks to Ning Chen's advantage of having a crushing realm, his physique has become even stronger after being blessed by the Demon Heart, and he recovers faster than ordinary demons after being injured. Once the demon energy in Ning Chen's body can't keep up, he will directly use the demons fighting below to replenish it.

During this period of time, Ning Chen focused on attacking the Black Tide leader. At the cost of half his body being injured, he succeeded in severely injuring the Black Tide leader. With a little more effort, he would be able to completely destroy him here.

Later on, Xie Tingyun no longer had the energy to pay attention to whether Ning Chen had exchanged injuries for injuries, because he himself eventually used the same trick.

On the first day of the battle, other sects came out in droves to join the defense of the three spiritual veins, regaining a slight advantage in the low- and middle-level battlefields, temporarily tying the score.

After four days of fierce fighting, a Mahayana demon from the Liuyun Sect died on the battlefield, severely injuring the leader of the Black Tide, causing him to lose his fighting ability. The price was that Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun were seriously injured, and Daoming's temples were covered with white hair.

On the battlefield of Xuanyuan Sect, two Mahayana demons and a Mahayana monk of Xuanyuan Sect died.

At the Shi Li Sect battlefield, two Mahayana demons were severely injured, Dao Xin was also severely wounded, and both lost their combat capabilities within a short period of time.

The fight was extremely painful for both sides.

Among them, the low-level demons in the Liuyun Sect battlefield were consumed the fastest.

There is a Ning Chen with a big appetite here. When his magic energy is depleted, he replenishes it. The demon army is turned into an all-you-can-eat buffet for Ning Chen.

The demon army is waiting, waiting for the moment when the three fallen demon masters of Liuyun Sect are exhausted to death.

Ning Chen is also waiting.

He was waiting for an opportunity to break through the siege.

During the break, he gently hugged Xie Tingyun and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"

Xie Tingyun nodded and silently placed the magic core into Ning Chen's palm.

The magic core of the Mahayana demon clan is an important trophy. Ning Chen didn't have time to pick it up when he was fighting, but he didn't expect that Xie Tingyun would pick it up and bring it back.

Ning Chen asked in astonishment: "Can I keep this for myself?"

Xie Tingyun said succinctly: "You were the one who killed him in the first place."

Ning Chen said no more and absorbed it bit by bit.

Ning Chen said: "Tell your uncles to retreat. How is your master?"

At that time, Xie Tingyun was wiping his sword. The blood on the Chengfeng Sword was almost impossible to wipe off, and even the silver-white tassel was stained with blood.

Xie Tingyun said, "Master can still hold on for a while. Uncle Daoxin has already returned to the sect to recuperate. Uncle Daoming...is still okay, but his hair has almost turned white."

Ning Chen nodded, picked up the Bu Nian beside him, and said, "Kill the leader of the Black Tide."

Xie Tingyun said, "I'll stop it."

"good."

There is no need for excessive words, as they are fully aware of their current situation.

Either Daoling Daoming falls first, or the Mahayana demons die first.

Ning Chen raised his hand and threw out Bu Nian, flying far away towards the leader of the Black Tide. As expected, the other Mahayana demons reached out to block it, but were forced back by a silver and cold sword.

…

Another half month later.

The battlefields in front of the three major sects were a mess of blood and blood, a sight to behold.

Dao Ling's snow-white Taoist robe was already splattered with blood. His hair was slightly disheveled and completely white. The wooden staff in his hand was still standing upright beside him, but there were countless scratches on the shaft of the staff, revealing the gold-powder-like wood, which was also stained with blood and turned into a dark red.

Every battlefield was in a state of tension. Not a single spiritual vein had been conquered for such a long time, which was a demoralizing thing for the demon army.

Especially when he saw other demons of his own clan dying on the battlefield one after another, but had not yet achieved any interim results, it was inevitable that the demon was anxious.

Dao Ling felt a little dizzy, but his body was still as straight as a pine tree. The marks left on his body by the years seemed to have disappeared. Now standing in front of him was a powerful human being who was covered in wounds but still full of vigor and vitality.

It had been a long time since he had felt the pleasure of having his meridians flowing smoothly.

Wandering between life and death, taking the lives of your enemies and protecting what they have been protecting.

The regrets from a thousand years ago were now being erased bit by bit by him personally.

There were a total of five Mahayana demons who attacked the Shili Sect. Two of them have died, and the remaining three are covered in wounds like him.

However, all the great Mahayana masters of the Shili Sect have been reduced to only the last one.

Dao Xin managed to kill a Mahayana demon clan member despite his serious injuries. Now he is in a deep coma and is being placed in the Shili Sect, relying on sporadic pills to keep him alive.

But he had already fallen into the devil's grip, and those elixirs of humankind had little effect on him.

Now only Dao Ling and the blood-soaked Shi Li Sect Master were left standing at the sect gate. He looked at the approaching demon army, listened to their laughter and mockery, and said nothing.

Although Dao Ling could no longer hear clearly, he could roughly guess what the demons were saying by looking at their lip movements.

It's nothing but some provocative and insulting words, nothing nice to hear.

Dao Ling said, "We are the only two old men left."

Sect Master Shi Li laughed loudly, wiped the blood dripping from the wound on his face, and said, "You have no regrets as the Sect Master of Liuyun Sect. Your disciple is very hardworking and has found a great demon in the Silent Realm to be his partner. The sect has suffered the least damage, and you have also become very famous. I am so jealous. If I had known that you could be so powerful, I would have come to join in the fun when you fell into the devil."

Dao Ling also smiled and said, "Jealous, huh? If I were you, I would be jealous too."

The leader of the Shi Li clan wanted to kick him, but his left leg was chopped three times by the demons, and it was difficult for him to walk. So he used the sheath of his sword to pat Dao Ling and said, "Get lost."

Dao Ling looked at the slowly approaching demon army, still smiling: "Any news from Liuyun Sect?"

The disciple behind him lowered his head: "...at most half an incense stick of time, the people from Liuyun Sect will be able to arrive."

Another great Mahayana demon died on the battlefield of Liuyun Sect. I heard that he was the leader of some tribe, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Although they were well-informed, they never thought that one day they would see Demon Lord Tian Xiao blocking the gate of Liuyun Sect, holding back the remaining Mahayana demons alone and asking Xie Tingyun to rush over here.

Dao Ling sighed: "No, half an incense stick is a bit too long."

“…”

"Not long. Old man, you are like this," the leader of the Shili Sect stared at the demons in front of him, smiled heartily, and stepped forward. The Shili Sect's protective formation was instantly raised to the highest level.

The Shi Li Sect Master said, "As for you, you can stay here and enjoy the happiness of family life with your apprentice. As for me, I will happily go and look for my deputy sect master brother who has passed away."

Dao Ling passed through the Shi Li Sect's protective formation with a wooden staff in hand, and said regretfully: "You are not qualified enough, otherwise you should just go back."

The Lizard Sect Leader: "You insist that I take action against you, right?"

Dao Ling shook his head and said, "How can we enjoy the happiness of family life? I am afraid that I will not be able to live for several days after this battle. It is better to have more people buried with me."

He pointed his wooden staff at one of the Mahayana demons from a distance and said with a smile, "Who wants to come?"

The leader of the Shi Li clan gritted his teeth, endured the bitterness in his eyes, and roared: "Come on, you bastards!"

A fight is about to break out.

Dao Ling couldn't count how many times he had swung his cane.

This wooden staff was a birthday gift from his master for his 200th birthday. Dao Ling had always taken great care of it, but the old man had been dead for a long time, so long that Dao Ling could no longer remember what his master looked like.

At first, he and his master defended the Tianshan Spiritual Vein to the death. Even though Dao Ling's master died in the battle, he still failed to prevent the Tianshan Spiritual Vein from being lost and polluted.

And he became a loser who survived the battle under the protection of his master.

However, the scene is now repeated, with similar blood flowing like a river and similar oil running out and lights going out.

He and the leader of the Shi Li Sect just stood at the entrance of the Shi Li Sect, like two door gods.

Now, five or six weapons pierced Dao Ling's abdomen, trying to force him to retreat.

Dao Ling's lips were bleeding, but he smiled hoarsely: "Remember to ask your sect's disciples to collect the body quickly. I don't want to leave a bad impression on my disciple."

"Okay," said the leader of the Shi Li clan cheerfully. He held numerous weapons in front of him with one hand, a long spear pierced his shoulder blade, and his right hand holding the sword was covered in blood. "Come on--"

"Come with us... to hell."

The Dantian in the two men's bodies suddenly emitted an indescribable light, accompanied by a burst of extremely hot heat. The faces of the Mahayana demons in the front changed, and they shouted: "Retreat! Everyone retreat!!"

"They're going to self-destruct?!"

"Are you crazy? This is the sect's entrance. If they self-destruct, aren't they afraid that the shockwaves will explode the spiritual veins below?"

Dao Ling felt that his Dantian was spinning wildly at a high speed. The little demonic energy left in his body gathered in his Dantian and shrunk to an extreme point.

Dao Ling's hair was completely white. He smiled and held up all the swords. A forbidden formation rose from the ground for no reason, trapping the two of them and all the demons who had intruded into the Shi Li Sect.

The demons around were horrified and tried to force their way into the forbidden array, but that forbidden array was a confinement array provided by the essence of the Lizard Spiritual Vein. How could they force their way through?
