The old vampire let out a cold hum, but showed no fear whatsoever. His withered face floated up with an ominous color as he said: "In those days, you people of the righteous path relied on nothing but your numerical superiority; could it be that I would truly fear you?"
As he spoke, his hands shook and the skull in front of him, flashing with red light, let out a low hum as it flew rapidly around his body. His eyes also began to turn red gradually.
Tian didnt dare to breathe deeply, concentrating his mind and being vigilant. A hundred years ago, he was already one of the top figures under Qingyun Gate, and when they were hunting down the remnants of the Demon Sect, he was also one of the main forces. He had even clashed with the Bloodsucking Old Monster before, and knew that this person couldnt be underestimated. The Bloodsucker was not someone to be trifled with.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky gathered again, and the traces of Tian Nais shocking sword just now had disappeared. The night color deepened once more.
In the distance, the sound of the vast ocean waves carried on the strong wind, gradually surging. It was faintly visible, as if hidden in the depths of the sea, a long sigh, floating gently in the night sky under the starry vault.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly woke up, feeling only a suffocating sensation in his chest, which was very uncomfortable. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone exclaim "hmm" and a white jade-like hand stretched out, gently pushing and grasping his chest a few times.
After a moment, the stagnant blood in his chest seemed to flow freely, and even his spirit improved significantly.
Zhang Xiaofan looked up and saw that it was his teachers wife, Su Rou, who was supporting him with a smile but didnt say a word.
His face turned red and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Masters wife."
"Are you okay?" Su Rou asked softly.
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Now Im just a bit tired, is that all?"
Su Ru smiled and nodded, suddenly laughing softly: "Thats good, now watch your master take revenge for you!"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled and followed Su Rous gaze, momentarily stunned.
Under the dark sky, among the low-hanging black clouds, there was a fiery and radiant light cluster that illuminated half of the horizon, and even the edges of the dark clouds seemed to be trimmed with a border of light.
The field is not as easy as the ancient fire god, standing proudly in the clouds, transforming that "red flame" into a burning flame, turning it into a flying dragon dancing across the sky, tearing open the dark clouds and rushing up to the ninth heaven.
The blood-sucking old demon had vanished, but a huge skull appeared at the edge of the clouds, letting out a loud and fierce howl. The wind and clouds changed, with a sharp and bloody glow bursting forth and rising to the sky, where it clashed ceaselessly with the fire dragon.
Dark clouds filled the sky, now boiling and churning ceaselessly, rumbling and roaring. From the ground, those two were like gods of the nine heavens, enraged and determined to kill.
Zhang Xiaofan was thrilled, and his admiration for his master grew even more. The fire dragon roared wildly, its voice shaking the earth, appearing and disappearing among the clouds, truly possessing a majestic and awe-inspiring power. It was somewhat similar to the three-tailed demon foxs summoning of the fire dragon using the Xuanhuo Mirror in the Black Stone Cave a few days ago, but its might was much greater.
As he thought of this, his body suddenly shook, and he only felt that from the Xuanhuo Mirror on his right arm, a wave of heat suddenly rose, as if it had been stimulated in some way, spreading throughout his entire body.
Su Rou, who was beside him, suddenly felt something and turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were filled with concern as she asked: "Xiao Fan, why is your body suddenly so hot? Is it a post-injury fever?"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled and didnt think his masters wife would be so perceptive. For a moment, he didnt know what to say and could only stammer: "N-nothing..."
Su Ru frowned, just thinking of asking in detail, suddenly felt something, turned her head to look back. Only to hear the footsteps in the forest, but after a moment, more than 100 people came out from all corners, all of whom were righteous cultivators. The Dharma appearance and Dharma goodness of Tianyin Temple, Li Xuan and Yan Hong of Fengxiang Valley were among them, and the one walking at the very front was Cang Song Dao Ren.
Su Ru stood up and smiled: "Cang Song Shixiong, youre here too."
Cang Song nodded slightly and said lightly: "Tian Shidi is showing off his divine might here, shocking the heavens and earth. Were not blind or deaf, so we came to take a look."
Su Rous eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling that his words had a hidden sting, but before she could say anything, the big bamboo peak disciple following behind him had already seen the bloodstains on Zhang Xiaofans body and his pale face sitting on the ground.
Tian Linger let out a shocked cry and ran up, Song Daren, Du Bishu, and He Dazhi also had anxious expressions on their faces as they followed behind her. But just as they had run a few steps, suddenly a white shadow flashed by, and to their surprise, someone had rushed up even faster than them. Upon closer inspection, it was Lin Jingyu.
Only to see Lin Jingyu flash to Zhang Xiaofans side, squat down, stretch out his hand to grab his arm, face pale, say: "Xiaofan, are you okay?"
Zhang Xiaofan felt the worry in his eyes, and his heart warmed up. He nodded and smiled: "Im fine, dont worry."
Lin Jingyu looked him up and down, then glanced at the wound on his chest, before finally relaxing and letting out a sigh. "Who hurt you?"
Zhang Xiaofan pointed upwards and said: "Its that demon, I heard my master call him just now, it seems to be something like Vampire Old Demon?"
Lin Jingyus body shook slightly, it seemed that he knew this demon lord after all. He exclaimed in surprise: "This old fellow has also emerged?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked upwards.
At this time, Tian Linger and others also came to Zhang Xiaofans side, asking long and short questions. Zhang Xiaofan looked at Tian Lingers concerned gaze, but lowered his head, answering the brothers questions in a low voice, indicating that he was no longer seriously injured.
At this time, the fierce battle was in full swing. Lin Jingyu stood beside Zhang Xiaofan, looked up for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiaofan, I didnt expect your master to be so ordinary-looking, but his Taoist skills are actually so high!"
Tian Linger heard this and felt a surge of anger in her heart. Ever since she was defeated by Lin Jingyu at her own doorstep, she had been looking down on him. She snorted and said, "My fathers Taoist skills are profound, how could you, a junior from Longshou Peak, possibly understand?"
Lin Jings eyebrows furrowed, and he turned to look at Tian Linger, whose gaze was intense and unyielding. He couldnt help but pause for a moment before suddenly breaking into a smile and saying, "Tian Shimei, youre right."
Tian Linger was taken aback, not expecting that the young man who had been so arrogant in his youth would suddenly become so refined. But looking at Lin Jingyus smiling face, she saw him gazing elsewhere. Following his line of sight, she saw him exchanging smiles with Qi Huan, who was standing beside Cang Song Dao Ren in the distance.
Tian Linger was so clever that she immediately thought of it, Lin Jingyu must have been too embarrassed to argue with her because he had always respected his senior brother Qi Huan. Although she herself didnt feel bad about it in her heart, at this moment when her eyes met Qi Huans, she couldnt help but feel a sweetness in her heart.
Su Rous eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stood by, having overheard the conversation between the younger ones. The speaker had no intention, but the listener was attentive. After a moment, she quietly glanced at Cang Song Dao Ren, only to see him gazing upwards with an expressionless face, yet his eyes gleamed brightly and his gaze flickered as he stared fixedly at Tian Bu Yis figure, lost in thought about who-knew-what.
At this time, only the sound of the fierce wind howling could be heard, with flames filling the sky and blood splashing everywhere. It was clear that the two were now at the most critical moment in their battle. Suddenly, Cang Song Dao Ren coldly said: "I didnt expect this vampire to be so bold, daring to come here and provoke us. Qi Huan!"
Zi Hao stood beside him, took a step forward and said: "Master, what are your orders?"
Cang Song Dao Ren gazed up at the sky and said, "The outcome of Tian Shi Bos victory is already set in stone. That old demon wont be able to hold on for much longer. Have your men make preparations around us. This time, we absolutely cannot let this monster escape."
Zi Hao responded with a sound, stretched out his hand and beckoned, calling Lin Jingyu back as well. Then he turned around to inform the other major sects such as Fa Xiang and Li Xun, who were discussing among themselves.
Su Ru slowly walked up to Cang Song Dao Rens side and smiled: "Elder Brother Cang Song, how did you see that Ye Yi was going to win?"
Cang Song Dao Ren looked at Su Rou with a hint of a smile on his originally expressionless face, saying: "Su Shifu Mei, are you going to tease this useless older brother again?"
Su Rou shook her head and smiled: "Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldnt dare to joke around with you. Im really asking for your advice sincerely!"
Cang Song Dao Ren smiled and said, "Su Shi Mei, youve always been clever and talented, far surpassing me, this useless older brother. Why be too modest? The Bloodthirsty Old Demon may have a high level of cultivation and possess the Blood Skull, which seems to radiate an aura of bloodlust and unparalleled ferocity. However, I observe that although its momentum appears fierce, the location of its true selfs treasure is in the upper right three divisions, but the red glow of its blood color seems impure, and the Blood Skull appears to have a slight flaw. In normal circumstances, this wouldnt be a problem, and with this demons level of cultivation, it could easily repair itself after returning and refining its energy. But now, in front of Tian Shi Di, this is its greatest weakness."
He paused for a moment, and in the depths of his eyes, a cold gleam seemed to flash by, but his voice remained calm and even. "Looking back at you, Tian Shidi, with composure and without urgency, using the Qingyun method to control the Chiyan divine sword, it has already been able to transform into the Red Fire True Dragon. Although the blood skulls red light is flourishing, it retreated as soon as it touched the Red Fire True Dragon, and is no longer its match. Moreover, Tian Shidis eyes are sharp, and every move directly attacks the upper right three points of the blood skull. The Blood Sucking Old Monster seems to be in a dominant position, but in reality, it has already been left with no way out, and will certainly be defeated. I dont know if what I said is wrong or not, Su Shimei?"
Su Ru smiled and said: "Master brothers wisdom, I also just knew after hearing you say it."
Cang Song Dao Ren smiled faintly and turned his head, looking up at the sky. He suddenly lowered his voice, but his tone was calm and gentle, saying: "Su Shi Mei."
"What is it, Elder Cang Song?"
Cang Song Dao Rens gaze remained fixed on the two people in mid-air, their fierce battle unfolding before him. Yet, his voice was clear and distinct as he spoke: "Tian Shi Di, since you broke through to the Upper Clarity realm of Taiji Xuanqing Dao a hundred years ago, it seems that your dao techniques have made tremendous progress over these years!"
Su Rus heart skipped a beat, but her face didnt show it. She smiled and said: "Elder Qing Song, youre overpraising me. Im not as good as Master Palm Door or your great talent..."
Cang Song Dao Ren slowly shook his head, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "A hundred years ago, our Orthodox sect defeated the Demon Sect in one move. I, along with Tian Shidi, Feng Hui Peaks Zeng Shidi, Chaoyang Peaks Shang Shidi, and Changmens Wan..."
Su Ru suddenly called out in a low voice: "Cang Song Shixiong."
Cang Song Dao Ren was shocked, as if he had thought of something, nodded and said: "...We were chasing and killing several demon heads in the Demon Sect, deep into the barbaric wilderness. At that time, Tian Shidi had already broken through to the Upper Clear Realm. Wan Shi... That person told us that Tian Shidi seemed dull but was actually clever inside, especially his determination was unshakeable, which is rare. In the future, he will definitely have unlimited prospects in terms of Taoist cultivation."
He smiled and said: "Su Shimei, you also know that person. What he says, his vision and insight, I suppose you wont have any doubts either!"
Su Ru smiled faintly, but didnt say a word, and instead turned her head to gaze up at the sky.
The blood-sucking old demon in mid-air, shrill and fierce, with a ferocious appearance, but his heart was getting more and more surprised. A hundred years ago, he had also fought against Tian Bu Yi, at that time this persons cultivation was already not low, but relying on his blood-sucking ability, he still had the confidence to win.
It was unexpected that after a hundred years, they would cross swords again. This persons Tao had made rapid progress, and the fire dragon transformed from the Red Flame Immortal Sword could hardly withstand his "Ghostly Blood Spear" infused with blood-sucking power, let alone gain the upper hand, but instead was gradually being suppressed.
Whats even more frustrating is that just now, when he was fighting Zhang Xiaofan, he thought he was a young and inexperienced opponent, but his "Five Ghosts Controlling Spirit" formation was inexplicably broken by him, losing one of the ghostly spirits.
Its no wonder that the bloodthirsty old demon couldnt understand, his skull was originally a fierce ghostly object, if he encountered some of the top divine weapons in the legend of the righteous way, such as Lu Xueqis "Tian Yue Divine Sword", it would naturally have some restraint, with his cultivation and knowledge, he would also be doubly cautious.
It was just that Zhang Xiaofans treasure, the fire poker, was really too strange, from head to toe there wasnt a single hint of divine weapon aura, and in fact, because of its extremely heavy killing energy, it seemed more like an evil treasure of a blood-sucking old demon. The blood-sucking old demon took a look at it and didnt take it seriously.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaofans fire poker, "Blood Sucking Pearl" sucked the blood of living things, and had no effect on the ghostly object of the blood-sucking old demon. However, the other half - "Soul Capture", was a legendary evil object forged from the refining of yin spirits for thousands of years, and was the ancestor of all ghosts and evil spirits in the world. Just now, during the intense battle, Zhang Xiaofan used his own blood to activate it, inserted it into the body of the ghost, and instantly purified it, more efficient than any righteous divine weapon.
Normally, the blood-sucking old demon would be shocked at most, because Zhang Xiaofans Taoist cultivation was far inferior to his. Just now, when the blood-sucking old demon showed off his skills, Zhang Xiaofan couldnt even resist. But when he faced Tian Buyi, whose Taoist cultivation was not only not lower than his, but also seemed to have a slight advantage, this small hidden problem was revealed.
The Wu Gui Yu Ling Fa Zhen and the Bloodsucking Technique were both activated by the blood skull, but when one of the vengeful spirits was suddenly destroyed, the blood skull also suffered minor damage. At this moment, it had become the greatest danger for the old vampire who sucked blood.
Tian Bu Yi had been living in the Qing Yun Mens Da Zhu Peak for nearly a hundred years, and his Taoist practice far surpassed Zhang Xiao Fan. His insight, vision, and experience in fighting were more than a hundred times better than Zhangs. The two had only exchanged a few moves when Tian Bu Yi noticed that there was an impurity on the Blood Skull of the old vampire, and he immediately launched a full-force attack on that spot. At first, it didnt seem to have much effect, but as time went on, the old vampire began to feel extremely exhausted.
Only in the sky, a fire dragon roared, baring its teeth and claws. The giant skull transformed from the blood-sucking old demon gradually dimmed in color. Looking back at the fierce flames, they almost dyed the entire night sky red.
The blood-sucking old demon cursed in his heart, secretly resenting himself for being too arrogant, thinking that after a hundred years of diligent cultivation, apart from those few top-notch people on the right path, he would not fear anyone else. This time when he came, he had also secretly inquired and knew that those few people he deeply dreaded had not come, which was why he felt at ease, but unexpectedly, it turned out that after a hundred years, Tians progress on the Taoist path was so rapid.
He was anxious, his eyes inadvertently glanced down, and he was shocked again. He saw that there were dozens of people moving on the ground, most of whom were dressed in Taoist robes, including several familiar faces, especially the leader, Cang Song Dao Ren, who was one of the Qing Yun Sect members who had chased and killed him back then.
The blood-sucking old demon was even more heart-chilled and immediately had the intention of leaving.
Just as he was taken aback, the fire dragon in front of him suddenly let out a loud roar, like a clap of thunder, and the blood-sucking old demon was shocked. He looked up to see that the fire dragon had suddenly burst into flames, but instead of attacking, it retreated back into Tian Bu Yis hand, transforming once again into the Red Flame Sword. The remaining flames did not dissipate, illuminating the entire sky.
The field is not easy to face, like a severe frost, the gods color is solemn, the red flame is horizontal in front of the chest, the left hand grasps the law key, the foot treads on the seven stars, in the mid-air continuous steps seven steps, the red flame immortal sword suddenly stabs the sky, mouth recites the incantation: "Nine Heavens mysterious altar, transformed into divine thunder. Brilliant heavenly power, with the sword to guide it!"
On the ground, especially in Qingyunmen, there was a commotion. The people present, especially the disciples of Dazhu Peak, were all extremely excited and even the complexion of Cangsong Daoist beside him turned slightly pale.
The originally gloomy dark clouds suddenly surged, like boiling water that had been opened, with a whistling wind between the heavens and earth. A moment later, even more so from the depths of those black clouds, came the rumbling sound of thunder, almost right next to the two people, bursting open.
In an instant, heaven and earth shook!
The entire Flowing Wave Mountain seemed to be shaking as well, and around this island, the originally calm sea water also boiled up inexplicably.
A flash of lightning, as if from ancient times, flashed across the horizon, suddenly rising, piercing through the dark clouds, tearing apart the sky, like a proud and invincible god, falling into the mortal world, stopping at the tip of that burning sword.
At that moment, the figure in the sky suddenly disappeared from view, and the dazzling light obscured this world.
There is wind, it blows past.
...blew up, everyones clothes...
Between heaven and earth, suddenly a piece of solemn killing silence!
Suddenly, the thunder sounded again! In the midst of the rumbling sound, the heavens and earth changed color. That one massive, unparalleled pillar of light burst forth, piercing through all the dark clouds, shining brighter than the scorching sun, and charged towards the blood-sucking old demon with an unstoppable force.
A moment later, the blood-sucking old demon was covered by a piece of light, and even the red glow of the skull disappeared instantly.
A figure fell from above the clouds.
The field is not easy to hold the red flame, deep breath, face color slightly pale, but he stands in the cloud end of the appearance, as if the heavenly god.
After the initial shock subsided, a burst of commotion erupted among the crowd, with voices of amazement and admiration filling the air. Each of Da Zhu Fengs disciples had an expression of delight on their faces, while Zhang Xiao Fan was also left staring in awe, worshipping with extreme reverence. His gaze finally managed to tear away from Tian Bu Yi, only to see that everyone around him was smiling, and Tian Ling Er was overjoyed with happiness.
Overjoyed, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look towards Xiao Zhufeng, and indeed saw Lu Xueqi silently gazing up at the figure of Tian Naiyi in mid-air, lost in thought.
The same "Divine Sword Thunder True Formula", but in Tian Bu Yis hands, its power was more than ten times greater than Lu Xue Qis?
The blood-sucking old demons face turned red like blood, and his body lost control and fell down. Cang Song Dao Ren hummed a sound and made an eye signal to Qi Huan and others. Qi Huan understood, waved his hand, and suddenly six or seven disciples jumped out of the Orthodox Sect, rushing towards the place where the blood-sucking old demon fell, with their magical instruments in hand.
The blood-sucking old demon was in mid-air, his body trembling violently, his hands waving wildly as if trying to resist, but before he could move twice, a red glow flashed on his face and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, instantly turning pale as death.
Everyone burst out laughing, and they all saw that the old devil was already powerless to resist. Just as Qi Huan and others were about to capture the blood-sucking old demon alive, suddenly Su Rus voice rang out: "Be careful!"
Zi Huan, Lin Jingyu and others were shocked in their hearts, feeling that the scene in front of them suddenly flashed, and in an instant, purple light and black air flashed by. Several powerful forces burst out from the darkness, flying towards the two people at the very front, a Qingyun disciple and a Tianyin Temple monk, who were immediately beaten to spit blood and flew back.
Qihao and others were shocked, their figures suddenly frozen in place, but only for a moment. Those forces had already surged to their faces, pouring over like a tidal wave, sweeping everything away. Qihao shouted: "Retreat quickly!"
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and flashed the Frost Sword in his hand, instantly laying out seven ice walls in front of him to shield his fellow disciples and allies. But before others could retreat a few steps, these powerful forces had already crashed into the ice walls, with a fierce momentum like breaking bamboo, shattering the ice walls and charging straight over.
Zi Hao was the first to rush forward, and in an instant, he almost stopped breathing. However, a green light flashed by, and it turned out that Lin Jingyu saw his senior brothers precarious situation and drove "Dragon-Slaying Sword" to charge over without hesitation.
"Lin Shidi, youd better leave quickly!"
These forces were like a tsunami, so fast that they rushed to the front in an instant. The two of them were like small boats on huge waves, about to be overwhelmed and could only close their eyes and wait for death. But suddenly, someone behind them shouted loudly:
"Monster!"
The wind suddenly rose, and in an instant those strange forces met their match, "ping ping pang pang" ringing out for a while. The strong winds howled, then suddenly stopped, Qi Huan and Lin Jingyu were pulled by the collar of their clothes, and jumped back several meters, barely escaping with their lives.
Two people settled their minds, and saw that the one who saved Qi Huan was Cang Song Dao Ren, while Lin Jing Yu was pulled back by Su Ru. At this moment, standing at the forefront with them were several others from different sects, such as "Dali Zunzhe" and other seniors, including Tian Bu Yi, who had fallen from the clouds at some unknown time.
In the distance, only a purple misty black air flashed, and after a moment, it caught up with the incoming blood-sucking old demon. A dizziness appeared, and several people came out, while in the forest behind them, countless footsteps also sounded. In the darkness, there were layers of shadows, and I didnt know how many people were hiding inside, only seeing dozens of people who walked out, most of whom were from the Demon Sect.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and stood up, only to see the people standing at the forefront of the Demon Sect. The one who caught the body of the blood-sucking old demon was the Ghost King, and beside him were three others: an old man with a shaved head, a dwarf with a ferocious appearance but extremely short stature, and another was a white-faced scholar, elegant and outstanding, with a smile on his face that didnt reveal any evil aura.
Right here, Cang Song Dao Ren and Tian Bu Yi exchanged a glance with the people next to them, their eyes seemed to twitch slightly, and they snorted, saying coldly: "Good! Good! You old guys have finally all come out." This chapter was published by net book friend ww.
