The pervasive demonic energy is the best proof!
"Tsk! Has our plan been exposed?"
The younger man said angrily.
They were the only remaining disciples of the White Lotus Sect... or rather, they thought so.
"Senior Brother Qi Nan, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry in and snatch the Five Demon Cups back."
Qi Bei said repeatedly.
Their journey took them across half the continent in order to find the White Lotus Sect's lost treasure, the Five Demon Gu!
After inquiring from various sources, they learned of the name Commander Xu and guessed that the Five Demon Gu might be located in the Deer Flower Town area...
The result was obvious; their guess was indeed correct!
A few days ago, they even pretended to be buyers and tried to contact the people from the Marshal's Mansion, regardless of who the person who came to make the deal was, since they had no intention of paying.
From the very beginning, the plan was to seize it by force, then kill to silence witnesses, and disappear completely with the Five Demon Gu.
Their mission was to reclaim the Five Demon Cups and revitalize the White Lotus Sect.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the very last moment!
Originally, Steward Li of the Marshal's Mansion was supposed to meet them in the suburbs tonight with the Five Demon Gu, but after waiting for most of the day, he finally noticed the demonic energy emanating from the town and realized something was wrong, so he rushed over.
"calm down."
As the senior apprentice, Qi Nan demonstrated his leadership role at this moment. He led his junior apprentice, Qi Bei, to a safe spot at the bottom of the slope to hide temporarily.
Then he cast a spell, intending to first survey the situation inside the mansion before deciding on his next move.
Qi Nan circulated his spiritual energy, bit his finger, and flicked a drop of his blood onto a sparrow perched in a tree ahead.
After attaching his blood essence to the sparrow, he pressed his blood-stained finger forcefully to his brow!
laugh--
With a flash of light, he opened his eyes, and his pupils had turned into the shape of sparrow eyes!
"Shared Vision!"
The sparrows on the front branches flapped their wings and flew towards the direction of the Marshal's Mansion.
Once you ascend to the top, you can look down on everything that is happening below!
Inside the mansion courtyard, smoke swirled, and several figures moved swiftly through it...
A young man dressed in white is fighting against four hosts who are possessed by demonic spirits all by himself!
boom! !
As the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the boy's body was affected, the sparrow was also frightened to death.
laugh!
As his consciousness returned to his body, Qi Nan suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"How is it, senior brother? What did you see?"
Qi Bei, who was standing to the side, kept asking questions.
However, Qi Nan was stunned, his face filled with indescribable terror.
"This...this is impossible..."
He had just clearly sensed the faint spiritual energy emanating from the young man... that was a symbol of the Nascent Soul realm!
It is the supreme being!
It is a realm that all practitioners dream of!
That's precisely why he found it impossible! He felt it was all utterly absurd...
Although it lasted only a moment, the terrifying aura emanating from the boy was not an illusion...
Gollum—
Qi Nan suddenly felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but swallow. "Junior brother, you guessed right, the Five Demon Spirits have already been released..."
"Huh? How could it be so fast!" Qi Bei's expression turned serious, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "Perhaps this is a good thing. If the Five Demon Spirits can descend to earth with the help of their host, then we won't need to take action."
"Are you stupid!" Qi Nan cursed. "Our goal is to revive the White Lotus Sect and then destroy Buddhism and Taoism... Now that the Five Demon Spirits are out of control, once they descend upon the world, the two of us will be even less able to control them!"
This means they can only watch helplessly as their predecessors slaughter and annihilate the entire population...
Ultimately, this will only result in mutual destruction, and the declining White Lotus Sect will not gain any benefit from it.
"Then, what do we do now? Are we just going to let the Five Demon Spirits run rampant?" Qi Bei was at a loss.
But at that moment, Qi Nan said something that left him speechless.
"No... I'm not sure...~"
Qi Nan blinked, his expression somewhat stiff. "Perhaps, the Five Demon Spirits will be destroyed."
……
"Ghost-Locking Formation!"
In the open space in the backyard, Su Feng shouted and scattered twenty-eight copper coins in all four corners.
He then used his spiritual energy to stand the copper coin upright on the spot.
With a whoosh, golden rays of light emanated from twenty-eight directions, spreading out to Su Feng's feet.
"You guys love running around, don't you? I'd like to see how you're going to run now!"
Su Feng sneered, clenching his fists as he manipulated the Ghost-Locking Formation...
He quickly waved his hands, directing the spiritual energy within his body towards different angles.
"What is this kid trying to do?!"
The four demon spirits, who were moving through the black mist, were dumbfounded.
They didn't gain any advantage in the battle just now.
On the one hand, his opponent, Su Feng, was too agile, and he was often dodged before he could even get close.
On the other hand, this person's Taoist magic is quite advanced, to the point that ordinary spells have little effect on them... so he specifically uses lightning magic to attack.
But what demons fear most is lightning magic!
In his current parasitic state, he simply cannot withstand the lightning strike.
If you approach rashly, you'll probably get a good shock again.
Therefore, the only option is to retreat in order to advance, trying to spread the demonic energy throughout and expand its hiding place...
Only in this way can one utilize its own characteristics to confuse the opponent, quickly maneuver through the area, find weaknesses, and launch a strong attack.
but……
The ghost-locking array spreading out from beneath their feet caught them off guard, and by the time they realized what was happening and tried to escape, it was too late.
Between the twenty-eight points in all directions, it was as if an invisible wall of air had appeared, locking them firmly within it.
"Stop struggling, you can't escape."
As the smoke cleared, Su Feng walked over with a light laugh.
He still had three copper coins clutched in his hand, just in case.
"Within this Ghost-Locking Formation, no demon or evil spirit can escape."
In the completed Maoshan Formation Encyclopedia, he became somewhat interested in this Ghost-Locking Formation.
However, as described in the book, this formation cannot harm the trapped evil spirits; it only has a binding effect...
So I've never had the chance to try it.
Unexpectedly, it had a miraculous effect today.
Since we can't kill them, we'll trap the four demon spirits and then slowly use lightning magic to force out their true demonic forms!
This plan is indeed impeccable.
"Aaaaah!—"
The four demon spirits roared madly.
They felt as if they had been tricked by a tiny human.
I finally escaped from those five demonic vessels, but I haven't even had a chance to enjoy my freedom.
Now they're going to be trapped again!
For them, this is a fatal weakness!
"I'll take your life!!"
The four demon spirits, abandoning their usual behavior, charged madly towards Su Feng, disregarding everything else.
They attempted to use the demonic energy emanating from their bodies to harm Su Feng.
At the very least, we should try to confuse their minds and make them reveal their weaknesses.
Unexpectedly, Su Feng remained unmoved and completely unaffected by the overwhelming demonic energy.
Instead, the moment the four demon spirits rushed over, he took a small step back and stepped out of the Ghost-Locking Formation's range.
This, in turn, trapped the four demon spirits within, causing them to crash against the wall.
"I kill you!"
"I must kill you!"
They cursed angrily.
Even though Su Feng was standing right in front of them, less than a fist's distance away, they just couldn't escape from this formation!
Even if they unleashed more demonic energy in an attempt to destroy one corner of the formation, it was to no avail.
The copper coins on the ground remained motionless, as if they were frozen in place.
"I didn't expect this formation to be so practical. Thank you for being my first research subject."
