"Such powerful demonic aura!"
The girl by the stream, wielding a golden ring, couldn't help but glance at Ning Wuxue, who had transformed into a silver wolf, as the surging demonic aura seemed almost tangible.
The demonic aura in Ning Wuxue's bloodline made the old demon of Black Mountain, who was battling with Ying Geye, slightly distracted. "What kind of bloodline is this, so powerful? A wolf demon, a silver wolf, could it be him..."
The old demon of Black Mountain had an unknown origin and knew many things that ordinary people did not. Feeling the demonic aura from Ning Wuxue, he seemed to recall something.
"Hmph, you dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're courting death!"
Ying Geye held his hands out, and a black bell appeared, slowly rotating and emitting a沧桑的魔意 (time-worn demonic aura). The bell was engraved with demonic deities. Under Ying Geye's control, it spun and cast a black shadow toward the old demon of Black Mountain.
"Five Ghosts' Divine Power..."
The old demon of Black Mountain's thoughts were interrupted, and his gaze sharpened. The black bell was a magical treasure refined by the Heavenly Demon Sect for many years, capable of striking the soul. He had already been hit by the Heavenly Demon Bell in Black Mountain, and his strength had greatly diminished. Naturally, he wouldn't engage in a direct confrontation again.
With a light shout, five streams of black gas emerged from the old demon of Black Mountain's crown, floating in the air and transforming into five fierce ghosts with green faces and fangs. Their blood-red eyes glared viciously, and their ghostly howls echoed as they flew toward the Heavenly Demon Bell, stirring up black mists.
"Hmph, just five fierce ghosts. If you could truly transform into five ghosts, I would immediately retreat. Unfortunately..."
Ying Geye smiled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the spinning Heavenly Demon Bell suddenly trembled, as if struck by someone, emitting a buzzing sound. The bell waves spread out like a solid substance, enveloping the five fierce ghosts flying toward it.
The five fierce ghosts, caught in the bell waves, struggled as if trapped in quicksand, unable to advance.
"Damn it, if I had a suitable magical treasure, would I let you be so arrogant!"
The old demon of Black Mountain gritted his teeth. He was not a demon from the Earth Immortal Realm but had been injured and cast into it, losing all his treasures. He had barely recovered his cultivation and then encountered another ambush, truly a run of bad luck.
Ying Geye and the old demon of Black Mountain were both at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage, but with the Heavenly Demon Bell in hand, Ying Geye's bell waves scattered ghosts and shook spirits, making the old demon of Black Mountain hesitant and unable to fully utilize his Daoist techniques.
Ning Wuxue, transformed into a silver wolf, faced off against a tiger demon at the initial Qi Condensation stage. Despite the tiger demon's greater strength, Ning Wuxue fully utilized the wolf demon's agility and speed, circling around the tiger demon. His dagger, sharper than the tiger demon's claws, left deep cuts on the tiger demon's tough fur.
Adhering to the principle of "retreat when the enemy advances, attack when the enemy retreats," Ning Wuxue effectively restrained the tiger demon.
Not all demons were as cunning and deceitful as the old demon of Black Mountain. Many could be described as simple and naive, like the black bear spirit and the gold and silver kings of the Lotus Cave, who were purely simple-minded and physically strong.
Demons awakening their intelligence was far more difficult than for humans, and those who could truly embark on the path of cultivation were few. Although there were methods to enlighten them, the cultivation after enlightenment was even more challenging. The tiger demon in front of him had low intelligence and a violent temper. With a little provocation from Ning Wuxue, he was furious and wanted to kill Ning Wuxue immediately.
A blood-red long sword was wielded with great force, chopping down and sending stones flying. The tiger demon roared, staring at the silver wolf demon leaping in front of him. A burning anger rose in his chest. It was too despicable; demons always fought straightforwardly, never dodging or avoiding combat.
"Roar..."
If this could be tolerated, demons could not. The tiger demon roared, threw away his long sword, and tore off his beast skin, transforming into a five-meter-long, man-sized white-striped tiger that landed in the cave.
The large tiger, majestic and fierce, opened its blood-red mouth and pounced at Ning Wuxue. In its true form, the tiger demon's aura was even more ferocious. The pounce was swift, accompanied by a foul wind.
Ning Wuxue's body shrank, and he leaped to the left. The fierce tiger pounced onto a large rock, shattering it. Shaking off the stone fragments from its fur, the tiger's hind legs kicked powerfully, and its claws sliced through the air, creating several streaks of blood light that intersected and aimed at Ning Wuxue. At the same time, its thick, arm-sized tail swept through the air, making a cracking sound.
The pounce and the slash perfectly blocked Ning Wuxue's escape route. Behind him was a rock wall, leaving no room to retreat!
"Come on..."
Ning Wuxue's eyes lit up. This was not the first time he faced a tiger demon. The same routine, the second time, the foul breath from the blood-red mouth.
Ning Wuxue gathered his qi and focused, his eyes fixed on the tiger demon. In his cold gaze, everything else seemed to disappear, leaving only him and the fierce tiger. He could feel the tiger demon's heartbeat and his own.
It seemed that every time he was fully focused, he would experience this feeling, a state of mind.
"Kill..."
At the moment the tiger demon's claws intersected, Ning Wuxue took a step forward, leaned back, and thrust his dagger upward.
"Thud..."
Ning Wuxue could clearly hear the sound of the dagger piercing the tiger demon's chest. He could even see the tiger demon pounce past him, the sharp claws scraping his face, causing intense pain. The dagger, as sharp as a blade, sliced a meter-long wound in the tiger demon's abdomen, and blood gushed out, spilling onto the ground, and its intestines fell out.
"Roar..."
The fierce tiger, in pain, roared and crashed into the rock wall, causing a layer of stones to fall.
The tiger demon's blood splattered onto Ning Wuxue, dyeing his fur red. He turned and pounced at the fierce tiger with his foot-long dagger, his aura fierce. Seizing the opportunity, Ning Wuxue's eyes were sharp. Last time, he had been careless and was clawed by the tiger demon in its dying moments.
This time, the dagger was tinged with a golden light, carrying the power of metal. The golden light flickered, and the dagger sliced through, severing the head of the dazed tiger demon. Blood spurted out, and the tiger demon's body still struggled, showing the powerful vitality of demons.
"Roar..."
Another fierce roar echoed. Ning Wuxue followed the sound and saw Yan Chixia, surrounded by evil aura, thrust his sword into the tiger demon's heart. The sword emitted an evil light, drawing out the tiger demon's soul, which fell into the sword. A strange light flashed and then calmed down.
Yan Chixia's ears twitched, hearing the silence from Ning Wuxue's side, immediately understanding that Ning Wuxue had killed the tiger demon. He was surprised, but the tiger demon Ning Wuxue killed was only at the initial Qi Condensation stage, while he faced a mid-stage tiger demon. The difference in cultivation, even a small one, was vast.
Moreover, Yan Chixia was blind, and without his sword, it would have been uncertain whether he could kill the tiger demon.
With the two tiger demons at the Qi Condensation stage dead, the remaining few demons were quickly killed by Yan Chixia. The old demon of Black Mountain and Ying Geye were still evenly matched, but the old demon's soul was ethereal, while Ying Geye grew stronger as the battle continued. It was clear that the outcome was near.
The tree demon and the girl by the stream panted heavily, drenched in sweat. They were only at the Qi Transformation stage and had no powerful magical treasures. Containing seven or eight demons was their limit. With no more enemies, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
