Chapter 211 The Mist-Faced Fang'er Retreats! The Demon Clan's Scheme!
Chapter 211 The Mist-Faced Fang'er Retreats! The Demon Clan's Scheme!
Hearing Xuanjing's words, Zhang Xuanchen felt a pang of sadness.
Why did they have to come at the exact moment when I was having intimate contact with Luo Lingshuang?
They really know how to pick their timing.
That's just asking for trouble.
Before long, Zhang Chongxian also sensed a faint bluish-gray mist rising from the cave.
He frowned, realizing something was wrong.
He could clearly sense that the green mist could devour the spiritual energy within a cultivator's body. Although the devouring speed was not fast, if one fought under the cover of the green mist, the speed at which spiritual energy was consumed would be at least 30% faster.
He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that there really is such an evil spirit as the Fog-Faced Fang in the Azure Nether Mountains!"
We were really unlucky to run into them.
He had seen this evil spirit in his family's ancient books; it was extremely troublesome and possessed two innate skills: Mist Devouring and Soul-Weeping Sound.
The mist was the increasingly dense, bluish-gray mist inside the cave.
The sound of weeping souls is the wailing and strange laughter of children. Cultivators who are weak and have weak will may even have their divine sense shaken and become mentally impaired, theoretically becoming puppets of that evil spirit.
Of course, this does not mean that Fogface Fang is not capable of close combat.
"Hehehe... Waaah~"
As the fog thickened, even with the concealment array protecting them, the three's presence was still detected by the Fog-Faced Fang.
A series of piercing sounds entered the three people's minds, causing them to feel slightly uncomfortable.
However, none of them suffered much damage.
This mist-faced fang is only at the late stage of the third rank. Zhang Xuanchen has Xuanjing and Xiaotao in his sea of consciousness, and Luo Lingshuang has Xiaolian in her sea of consciousness.
Zhang Chongxian was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and a sword cultivator, so the damage caused by the Fog-Faced Fang'er's spiritual attack was naturally very limited.
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Chongxian let out a deep shout and smashed the stone blocking the cave entrance with a palm strike, sensing the location of the Fog-Faced Fang with his mind.
A glint of gold flashed in his eyes.
He gripped his spirit sword and slashed at the mist-faced fang.
"what!"
The golden light of the sword's edge shone brightly in the night.
puff!
Just as the sword was about to strike him, the Mist-Faced Fang let out a scream, and then its body turned into a cloud of mist.
Its true form had already fled far behind Zhang Chongxian, and its wailing grew even louder.
It was as if it were mocking the humans before it.
"snort!
"Divine Weapon—Split Light and Transform Shadow! Go!"
Zhang Chongxian snorted coldly, then formed a hand seal, and hundreds of golden sword energies suddenly flew towards the mist-faced rascal.
puff!
puff!
puff!
The figure of the Fog-Faced Fang kept appearing and disappearing in the surrounding space, only to be dispersed by the sword energy.
It's obvious they're trying to wear down Zhang Chongxian.
When his spiritual power is exhausted, that will be the time of his death.
Zhang Xuanchen then saw through the true nature of the Fog-Faced Fang.
It was about three feet tall, the size of a child, covered in bluish-gray mist, with withered branches on its limbs, and bluish-gray all over, with veins under its skin like earthworms, constantly wriggling.
Its head is enormous, three times the size of its body, and its mouth is full of barbed teeth. When it cries, it oozes a dark green liquid that has a strong, fishy stench. Its scarlet eyes make it look particularly eerie.
Perhaps driven to desperation by Zhang Chongxian, it let out a roar.
With a clench of his fists, the surrounding green mist surged instantly.
The next moment, countless mist needles formed.
Like a torrential rain, it shot towards the three of them!
"Use the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire! The Mist-Faced Fang is most afraid of the most intense and yang flames."
Although your strength is still too weak to kill it, it's not difficult to force it back.
Xuanjing's voice rang in his ears, and Zhang Xuanchen did not hesitate at all. A burst of crimson-gold flames suddenly erupted from his body.
The surrounding mountains and forests were instantly engulfed in flames.
Illuminate this world.
The flying mist needles sizzled when they came into contact with the surrounding blue mist, and melted into the air before they could even last a moment.
"Awooooo~"
Sensing this intense yang fire, a hint of fear flickered in the scarlet eyes of the mist-faced fang.
But today I finally encountered such excellent blood food, and I don't want to give it up easily because I can change my taste.
The experienced Zhang Chongxian sneered, roughly discerning the mist-faced rascal's intentions.
He exchanged a glance with Zhang Xuanchen, then flashed behind the Fog-Faced Fang, and slashed with his sword.
puff!
Just as the mist-faced fang had transformed into a wisp of green mist, before it could even coalesce, it was blasted apart by a crimson-gold fist shadow.
It was the Great Sage who had just emerged from the Ring of All Souls.
"What the hell? Can't hit it?"
The Great Sage was puzzled, and then unleashed several punches in succession. Each punch had the power to shatter a small mountain, but it did not cause much damage to the Fog-Faced Fang.
As if the earth vein's Xuan Yang fire was melting away the surrounding blue mist, the speed at which the mist-faced fangs returned to their original form after dispersing into blue mist was much slower than before.
But that's about it.
Only Zhang Xuanchen was able to harm the Fog-Faced Fang, but because he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, he had no chance of killing it.
As for Zhang Chongxian, the Great Sage's attacks had little effect on him.
Killing it would require a considerable price, and with such a huge commotion already caused, who knows what will happen next.
We cannot linger in battle.
"Get out of here now!"
Zhang Chongxian let out a low shout and swung his sword. A golden sword shadow descended from the sky, scattering the mist-faced fang once again.
The latter let out a series of strange cries and retreated unwillingly.
Originally, he didn't retreat because he felt he still had a sliver of a chance, but now with the addition of a mid-stage Golden Core monkey demon, that sliver of a chance is gone.
We have no choice but to evacuate.
Sensing the rapidly receding azure mist around them, Zhang Xuanchen and his companions remained vigilant. They extinguished the surrounding flames, concealed their auras, and flew towards the direction of the Thunder Tiger's lair.
Not long after the group left, several powerful demonic beasts arrived at the location.
A demonic beast with a bear's head and a human body sniffed the surrounding air intensely.
He growled, "There's a fragrance, and there's a human female cultivator!"
Judging from the battle traces, there was also a human sword cultivator in the late Golden Core stage and a monkey demon in the mid-Golden Core stage.
He picked up some charred wood shavings from the ground, sensed them briefly, and continued:
"The power of this flame has reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm."
The person playing with fire must be a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
No wonder he was able to force that strange fellow to retreat; he does have some skill.
Upon hearing the bear demon's words, the wolf demon with bloodshot eyes beside it let out a long howl, its chilling voice ringing out:
"How dare a demon associate with a human! What a waste!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Blood Wolf! Are you courting death?! If this attracts the attention of the human race and ruins the king's grand plan, you'll be food for them!" The icy blue serpent sneered.
Looking into the Blood Wolf's unwilling eyes, he spoke again: "We all hate the human race to the bone?"
They invaded our territory, slaughtered our people, and stole cultivation resources; they deserve to die.
But now is not the time. At most, His Majesty will be able to break through to the fourth-tier Demon Sect in thirty years.
Now that the Jiuhua Sword Sect has been in seclusion for a hundred years, the beast tide thirty years from now will be unstoppable!
At that time, you can kill as many of those human blood sacrifices as you want!
I've heard that the human race's herb garden contains many rare and precious herbs. Consuming them might allow us to break through our bloodline barrier and achieve further breakthroughs!"
