Chapter 35: Beheading the General at the Sealing God Platform
The enemy's momentum is great, and Bai Qi feels that his advancing speed is getting slower and slower. Xiao Yu is following closely behind him and also feels that if they continue to fight like this, he doesn't know when they can break through the encirclement.
"Xiao Bai Ge, take out that demon gourd and give it a try!"
Bai Qi's killing had become somewhat numb, and it wasn't until Xiaoyu reminded him that he remembered he still had this thing. He opened his mouth, and the demon spirit gourd sprayed out, its yellow-orange color flying in mid-air, sucking towards the front line of demon soldiers, dozens of sturdy demon soldiers were sucked into the gourd, but turned into a thin stream of yuanqi, stored away.
A faint cry of a small rain, this white start got the demon gourd, not even refining, if the demon gourd escaped now, White Start would not be able to catch up.
Fortunately, the demon gourd didn't escape and hung high above Bai Qi's head. When it saw the demon soldiers, it sucked them in wildly. The demon soldiers were of low rank and had no resistance to the demon gourd. Bai Qi wasn't worried, as his demon gourd had already been tainted with the cyan-gold aura released by the Inverse Scale Spear, equivalent to being refined by the Inverse Scale Spear. As long as the Inverse Scale Spear didn't escape, this demon gourd wouldn't run away either.
This demon gourd is also a kind of heavenly spiritual root, extremely rare. Unfortunately, the demon soldiers in front of Bai Qi can't even fully transform into human form, so the demon gourd doesn't bother to refine them and absorb them, turning all the demon soldiers into stored yuan energy.
If Bai Qi were to personally refine the demon gourd, he might only be able to create a personal combat demon soldier. Although it could rapidly increase the demon soldier's strength, it would not be worth the cost.
In the Youling calabaza, a strand of cyan gold gas automatically changed, absorbing the yuanqi refined from the calabaza and slowly transforming into cyan gold. In the space within the Youling calabaza, a huge altar gradually appeared, on which many ancient texts slowly emerged.
The altar grew higher and higher as the gourd swallowed more and more of the demonic soldiers, gradually becoming a three-layered altar.
The four sides of the altar are respectively engraved with a huge character - behead, general, seal, and god!
In the year when Qing Emperor fell, the Zhanjiang Fēngshén Tái was destroyed, and not a single divine spirit who followed Qing Emperor escaped. The Zhanjiang Fēngshén Tái is an immortal artifact, who would have thought that today it appeared in its embryonic form inside a demonic gourd that is only equivalent to a low-grade Daoist artifact.
This slash will seal the divine platform is just an illusion, far from reaching the degree of condensation, and there is not a single divine spirit on the platform, empty.
The demonic soldiers were constantly being sucked into the gourd of the demon spirit, and the beheading platform no longer had any new changes. With such low-level yuan energy, it was impossible to restore it to the level of a fairy artifact. The layer of cyan-golden yuan energy that had been stained on it only gathered around the virtual shadow of the beheading platform, still extremely thin.
Bai Qi himself did not expect the demon gourd to be so overbearing, behind him, more than 300 people had originally been lost, but after a wave of fierce fighting, nearly a thousand people re-gathered.
The King of Chujiang watched the battle from his chariot, and at first, Bai Qi did not attract the attention of this demon king. However, as Bai Qi approached closer to the formation that trapped Bai Jian, his small unit formed a sharp arrowhead, speeding up rapidly, and the approaching demon soldiers vanished into thin air. The King of Chujiang's neck suddenly stretched longer, and the pair of eyes on his head enlarged several dozen times.
In Chu Jiang Wang's eyes, the talisman rotated, and a transparent water mirror appeared in front of him. In that water mirror, Bai Qi leading his troops to charge and kill was vividly displayed.
Seeing his own demonic soldiers being slaughtered, Chu Jiang Wang let out a furious roar: "You insolent child!"
He then saw the floating gourd on top of Bai Qi's head, and Chu Jiang Wang was overjoyed. This was something that couldn't be bought with a lot of money. A pre-heavenly spiritual root, even if it was only a low-grade treasure, could still reach the level of a high-quality Taoist instrument after being re-refined. Then, using his own demonic yuan to nurture it, he would become an immortal, and the gourd would naturally evolve into an immortal artifact.
I didn't expect this gain today!
Chu Jiang Wang didn't think twice, pulled out the second array flag from behind the carriage and threw it over.
In front of Bai Qi, a large river suddenly appeared. This river was several miles wide, and its two banks were invisible to the end. Bai Qi stopped in his tracks, and the river's waves surged into the sky, with thick water vapor, and countless demonic soldiers appeared and disappeared in the river, their faces ferocious.
"What to do, Young Master?" Beside Bai Qi, there were already over a dozen low-ranking officers. Seeing the appearance of this great river, they knew it was the work of a cultivator, but none of them could match Bai Qi's abilities. However, Bai Qi had already demonstrated his many capabilities, and these soldiers now regarded him as their leader.
"Xiao Bai Ge, try using Li Quan's divine gun."
Bai Qi walked through the light rain, reminding him to insert the Li Quan divine spear into the river water. With a whooshing sound, behind the Li Quan divine spear, a burst of white mist sprayed out, but it wasn't river water.
"An illusion!" Bai Qi immediately distinguished, but even if it was an illusion, those soldiers would still be drowned to death if they wanted to cross the river. Unless the soldier's divine consciousness could surpass the level of this formation.
Bai Qi regretted that he didn't have any magical powers with him; otherwise, even if they couldn't break through the illusion, they could at least set up a bridge to let the soldiers pass.
At the moment of distress, the demon gourd began to frantically absorb the river water towards the great river. The illusory river water was absorbed into the demon gourd like a reversed heavenly river. As the river water narrowed, Bai Qi was overjoyed. Chu Jiang Wang, who was watching from afar, was furious. He had originally planned to trap Bai Qi first, but the great river's changes were unpredictable, and in the end, it could surround Bai Qi, leaving him nowhere to escape. Who knew that the demon gourd could even absorb the primordial water essence? His own four-sided banner was about to be broken on one side.
The King of Chujiang did not dare to throw the array flag again, he simply opened his mouth and spat out a vast expanse of white waves that surged forward, submerging the entire Qin Wangling in its midst.
Bai Qi couldn't see it, but his demonic gourd had absorbed the pre-heavenly pure water essence from the banner, causing the river to disappear and leaving only a black battle flag standing in the wind.
Bai Qi wanted to go and pull out that flag, Xiao Yu shouted: "Don't!"
"What's going on?" Bai Qi didn't have time to linger and urged Xiao Yu: "What's strange about this flag?"
"No time for explanations, Xiao Bai Ge, give me a Purple Thunderbolt!"
Bai Qi didn't ask much, and directly took out one, handing it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu raised the Purple Thunderbolt, heavily striking the black flag, she wielded the Blood Patterned Dagger, charging under the flag, fiercely chopping.
With a cracking sound, the Blood Patterned Ring Knife shattered into pieces. The flag face of that array had been blasted by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, creating many small holes. The Blood Patterned Ring Knife was broken, and a deep scar appeared on the flagpole.
In the distance, Chu Jiang Wang was concentrating on his spellcasting, but these two consecutive blows seemed to have struck him right in the heart. Chu Jiang Wang spat out a mouthful of blood, filled with great hatred. He couldn't believe that he, a superior being, had been injured by a junior and had his primordial spirit wounded.
The power of the Purple Thunderbolt is not to be mentioned, but that evil Blood Pattern Ring Knife is a thing that specializes in injuring the Primordial Spirit. The monks of the Red Lotus Temple died unjustly, and they didn't even get to display their magical techniques; encountering a group of undead without Primordial Spirits meant that the power of the Blood Pattern Ring Knife couldn't be unleashed at all.
He destroyed a blood-stained dagger, Bai Qi didn't feel the slightest regret, he drew out another one and threw it to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu caught it in his hand and chopped down again, Chu Jiang Wang spat out fresh blood from afar once more.
He underestimated Bai Qi. This flag should have been guarded by someone, but now it's just standing here alone, allowing the blood-stained sword to chop and slash at will, which is equivalent to directly attacking his own body.
Chu Jiang Wang could not help but forcibly retrieve the strand of yuan Shen from the banner, and the banner's surface immediately softened and stopped fluttering. Xiao Yu made a swift decision, spewing out a mouthful of yuan Qi onto the banner, which instantly transformed into the size of a palm and was tossed by her into her own storage ring.
On this side, the small rain forcibly seized the banner, and the banner on Bai Jian's side also appeared simultaneously with a flaw. Bai Jian was originally surrounded by the Great Flood and could not leave. Relying on his own bravery, he had already killed tens of millions of demon soldiers in the fantasy world. The meaning of Chu Jiang Wang is to want to wear out Bai Jian, but Bai Jian's gun technique, not only absorbs power in the Feather Forest Army, this Qin Wang Ling also continuously provides him with the power to use the True Dragon Seven Kills Gun from afar.
Bai Jian became more courageous in battle, although he couldn't find the enemy's position. However, after this half-day of fierce fighting, his marksmanship had become nearly perfect. The seven true dragons revolved around him, having transformed into substantial entities. Whenever a demonic soldier appeared, the green dragon would pounce and devour it.
Bai Jian knew that this was a sign of his own breakthrough to the First Heaven, and if he could calm down and stabilize himself, he would be able to achieve the title of Land Sword Immortal in less than a month.
But Bai Jian was not a confused cultivator like Bai Qi. He had doubts in his heart, could it be that the dragon energy of Qin Wangling was leaking?
The dragon vein of this royal tomb has nine copper coffins guarding it, extending to the nine hells. Even a true immortal may not be able to easily break through. The power of the Heavenly Emperor's inspector seems to be even more formidable than his own. Sneaking into the grave, without three to five days, it is impossible to open the nine copper coffins.
But if it wasn't for the leakage of dragon energy, he would need at least a few years to advance. The advancement consumed dragon energy, requiring unparalleled purity, which couldn't even be taken from Jin Huang's body.
In the midst of confusion, he saw the water's momentum suddenly decrease, and he vaguely saw the outside demon soldiers, which were not illusions. Bai Jian rushed forward, leaving the formation control behind, and when he looked back, a black flag stood in the distance, with countless transparent talismans flying around it.
Bai Jian hesitated for a moment, ignoring the flag, and rushed towards the entrance of Qin Wangling. Someone had already entered the mausoleum, and the dragon vein was probably exposed. In that case, he would go and retrieve the dragon vein himself, directly becoming the Land Sword Immortal, and then killing Chu Jiangwang would be as easy as slaughtering a dog.
Bai Qi watched from a distance as his father rushed into the Qin Wang Mausoleum, his body wrapped in seven green dragons, with an awe-inspiring divine majesty.
Above the Mausoleum of Qin, a hundred miles away, in the midst of the Nine Heavens' aura, two sword lights flashed by, suddenly turned back and stopped within the aura, revealing two figures.
These were two beautiful women, one of whom wore a colored skirt and had a cold expression, while the other was slightly younger, wearing a white Taoist robe with bare feet.
The woman in white robes said: "Master, what are you stopping for?"
"Ah, I see a nun's apprentice down there. Go and bring her back to me." The woman in the colorful skirt pointed downwards with her hand, and the woman in white had already spotted her target. It was a woman wearing iron armor, wielding a blood-stained crescent blade as she battled against the demon soldiers.
