Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 137: The Future of Dragon City Road (Part 1)
The top of Yumen Pass.
Xia Daoyun glanced thoughtfully at the blue sky and white clouds in the west. It was unknown what he was thinking of. He smiled inexplicably and then slowly fell back to the top of the city.
On the city wall, all the human cultivators cast fanatical glances at Xia Daoyun.
Among these three battles, judging from the scenes alone, Xia Daoyuan's "Sword Qi traverses thirty thousand miles, and one sword freezes nineteen states" was undoubtedly the most shocking.
…
The three Demon Lords were defeated in all three battles, among which the Life Lord was injured and the Red Lord was even more seriously injured.
Logically speaking, this was an opportunity for the human race to press on and pursue the victory, especially with the presence of Qingyun Sword Immortal.
But unfortunately, this "Qingyun Sword Immortal" turned out to be a fake, so the human race did not have the strength to pursue the victory.
Since they couldn't chase them, they could only watch the demons retreat.
As for whether it will arouse the suspicion of the demons?
This is inevitable.
After all, this is the best time to pursue the victory. If you are lucky, you may be able to take advantage of the situation to kill one or two demon lords.
But humans don't have this choice.
Could it be that the human race is benevolent and righteous?
The demons are not so naive.
The most likely possibility is that humans are the only ones who don't have the ability to pursue.
As long as Qingyun Sword Immortal is here, the human race should have this ability...
Unless that Qingyun Sword Immortal is a fake.
This is a huge flaw.
But Xia Daoyuan, Yu Canghai and Xue Wushao no longer cared about this.
Because after the three battles at Yumen Pass, it no longer mattered whether Xie Qingyun was real or fake.
The defeat of the three masters of the Burning Moon Domain is there, and this cannot be changed.
——Even if Xie Qingyun did not take action, the Sword Sect had the ability to confront the demons.
In this case, what does it matter if Xie Qingyun is real or fake?
Of course, Xia Daoyuan, Xue Wushao and Yu Canghai did not feel too complacent in their hearts, and did not dare to be inflated in the slightest.
We won all three battles at Yumen Pass, and defeating the three demons in a row really boosted morale.
But they know their own business well. Although this kind of thing is glorious, it is just a show-off. It only happens once, at least only once in a short period of time.
Because Yu Canghai defeated the War Lord by relying on the power of the Changfeng Formation.
Unless he completely abandons his path to becoming a swordsman, this power must not be used too much.
Xue Wushao is the Lord of Life, and he relies on the sword of injustice which he has kept for 1,231 years.
This sword is powerful, but there is only one sword. If you want to create another sword like this, you will have to wait at least another thousand years.
As for Xia Daoyun's sword, it was even more clever - she used her own sword cultivation spirit and the Taoist weapon Niu Er as a bridge, borrowing the undispersed sword energy that Li Qiubai had slashed out at that time to defeat the enemy.
No matter in power or appearance, he is the strongest among the three.
But the problem is that Li Qiubai is gone, and there is no second wave of sword energy from the sword immortal for Xia Daoyuan to borrow.
To put it simply, that wave of sword energy from the sword immortal was like a high-level disposable consumable, which would be gone once used.
Therefore, if the three masters from the Burning Moon Domain were to attack again at this time, there would be absolutely no way that they at Yumen Pass would be able to defeat the three masters again.
However, this is just a hypothesis.
Because for at least ten years, the demons will not attack Yumen Pass again.
It’s not that the three demon masters will keep their promise, but the injuries suffered by Ming Zun and Chi Zun will not recover without a period of rest.
Moreover, how could the three demons who had just been defeated dare to "seek their own death" before they found out the background of Yu Canghai, Xia Daoyun and Xue Wushao?
Yumen Pass achieved temporary peace.
…
In the tail current of the spiritual sea tide, there are thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of spiritual fluctuations, colliding in the remnants of the still raging storm .
Just as Lu Qingshan had expected, the demons used the lives of their cultivators to clear the way and soon caught up with the coalition of human cultivators who had been ahead for a day.
The demon army was like a tiger with its gates opened, not heeding the fierce aftermath in its wake, and charged forward without hesitation.
However, due to the special geographical environment, the demon army was unable to form a demon tide and could only form groups of two or three to collide with the allied monks.
In this situation, if we continue to escape, our army will only be defeated, so we must fight back.
Moreover, in the tail current of the Spirit Sea Tide, the numerical advantage of the demons has been reduced to the extreme. If they don’t fight back now, when will they fight back?
The leading monk of the human race is not stupid.
Thus, a brutal chase and encounter in the wake of the Spirit Sea Tide began.
In the chaotic wake, the monks from both the human and demon sides flashed like the aurora.
Above, below, left, right, front, and back of every cultivator, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of miles away, there are countless cultivators fleeing.
These monks could be enemies or companions. No one could tell unless they got close.
Because of the raging residual flow of spiritual energy, it also hindered the passage of spiritual consciousness.
Bai Yan was being besieged by two seventh-grade demon cultivators from the demon clan.
He was one of the cultivators with lower cultivation level among those who came to Zhongling from Zhulong Palace, and was only at the Fusion Realm.
However, he is quite old, has been immersed in the fusion realm for many years, and has excellent skills, so he is not weak.
Besides, he is already very old and may pass away in a hundred years. It is better for him to make contributions before he dies.
But now, he is in an absolute disadvantage.
Because before this, Bai Yan had already killed several waves of demon cultivators and was exhausted.
Seeing that it was becoming more and more difficult to defend himself and the energy in his body was close to being exhausted, Bai Yan let out a long sigh.
“I slew nearly ten demons before I died. I, Bai Yan, deserved my death. It was not in vain!”
At this moment, he suddenly felt a spiritual wave approaching above his head.
The inspiration came extremely quickly.
It was a ball of black fire.
Blazing black fire fell from the sky.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, no matter what kind of demon cultivator, including the two demon cultivators in front of Bai Yan, once touched by this black fire, they will fall into endless pain.
Their vitality is constantly being drained away until the last ray of life is extinguished, returning to silence and nothingness.
Bai Yan looked up in surprise, looking at the cultivator who emitted the black fire.
"Mo...Yan?"
…
Kawakami Plateau.
As the confrontation between Azure Dragon and Kunpeng ended, Azure Dragon's pressure gradually began to subside, and the crawling monsters were finally able to stand up and disperse tremblingly.
The beast tide quickly dissipated.
Above the extremely high and distant sky, the Azure Dragon Lord looked at the empty void after the light faded away, his face as gloomy as water.
"Run away?" The White Tiger Lord was stunned.
In his opinion, as one of the strongest swordsmen in the world, the word "escape" could never be associated with Xie Qingyun.
Only advance and never retreat, this is the principle of sword cultivation, and it is also one of the inherent impressions of sword cultivation in the world.
If that’s the case, how could Xie Qingyun escape so easily when the battle just started?
They had never expected this situation, so they had no corresponding preparation, which led to Xie Qingyun's departure being particularly easy and sudden.
If Lu Qingshan were here, he would probably not be able to help but sneer at the two demon lords' ideas.
Sword cultivators follow their hearts, but they are not fools.
So what keeps you moving forward and not retreating is faith, not stubbornness.
Therefore, it can be said that only sword cultivators understand sword cultivation in the world.
"Chase?" asked the White Tiger Lord.
"Where to chase?" The Azure Dragon Lord snorted coldly.
No one knew what means Xie Qingyun used, but he left silently without leaving any trace, making it difficult for them to track him.
In fact, the Sword Immortal is a mysterious existence that can only be seen from the head but not the tail.
If they had not anticipated that Xie Qingyun would definitely come to Huanling Sect to investigate the situation, and had not waited here in advance, they would definitely not have been able to intercept Xie Qingyun.
"Since it's difficult to find him, let's force him to show up." The Azure Dragon Lord spoke in a controlled tone, his eyes extremely sinister.
Then he flicked his sleeves, and the green dragon that occupied most of the sky suddenly disappeared.
…
Xie Qingyun landed next to Lu Qingshan.
The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped. The sky, illuminated by the light of the Azure Dragon, returned to normal after the Azure Dragon Master put away the Azure Dragon.
The stagnant night began to flow again.
The dazzling and terrifying light and the pressure disappeared together, and the rioting monsters in the Kawakami Plateau gradually came back to their senses.
Xie Qingyun glanced at the dark night sky, shook his head, and stopped looking.
When he waved his hand, clouds rose; when his sleeves moved, the wind moved. Then he casually put his hands behind his back and walked away with Lu Qingshan.
Xie Qingyun's face did not show any dejection, only calmness. He asked Lu Qingshan, "Tell me more about it."
"Mo Yan brought you the news about the secret of the inner demon?"
"Yes," Xie Qingyun nodded, "He brought the news to Gu Qiu first. Gu Qiu knew the importance of this matter and passed the news to me as soon as possible."
"I received the news and immediately confirmed the source of the news with Mo Yan. Then I decided to take the initiative to find the Azure Dragon Lord and the White Tiger Lord to find out the truth."
"Did Sect Master gain anything from this trip?" Lu Qingshan asked again.
Xie Qingyun nodded slightly, "The emotions in the eyes of Azure Dragon and Azure Dragon Master are completely synchronized."
"If the news you brought is true, then Azure Dragon should be another soul that is on par with the Azure Dragon Master."
"How strong is Qinglong?" Lu Qingshan asked with concern.
"Very strong. In terms of combat power alone, he is close to being a half-ancestor."
Lu Qingshan's expression suddenly turned stern when he heard this.
To be honest, he had guessed this possibility, but he was still a little shocked when it was confirmed.
The Azure Dragon Lord himself is an existence at the level of a regional cultivator, and his other soul is actually the Azure Dragon, one of the four ancient spirits, which possesses even more powerful combat power than the Azure Dragon Lord's soul.
The power of Soul Master is beyond imagination.
Such an enemy is almost invincible.
Fortunately, they already knew the weaknesses of the Heart Demon Clan.
What they have to do next is to seize this weakness and deal a fatal blow to the demons before they realize their secret has been exposed.
Then, Lu Qingshan briefly told Xie Qingyun about what happened to him after he parted with Mo Yan in the Great Wilderness, including his bloodbath at the Demon's Nest.
"So, the fact that the Heart Demon Clan has three souls in one body and that once the main body dies, the three souls will be destroyed together can be confirmed to be true. This is no longer just a guess."
"The most urgent task is to find the real body of the inner demon." Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.
Although he already had some ideas, it didn't mean it would be an easy task.
"We really need to speed up." Xie Qingyun agreed, so he increased his speed of escape, and the sword light was so fast that it was invisible.
At this extreme speed, even Lu Qingshan, who had such high cultivation level, felt a little dizzy.
"Go on." Xie Qingyun's calm voice came to his ears.
"I have seen the place where the inner demon was born..." Lu Qingshan said as he looked around.
He was confirming the direction, wanting to know where Xie Qingyun was going.
Then, Lu Qingshan was stunned.
The sword light was galloping straight and firmly towards the west. All along the way, the only sound was the whistling of the wind and the sight of clouds turning into light.
They are now in the western area of Zhongling!
Further west in the west... that is the frontier, the Helan Mountains, and...
Once a stronghold of the human race, now a city of the demons.
Dragon City Pass!
