Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 39: Death is the solution to a deadlock (Part 2)
Marquis Anhai was going after the Demon General Qingge.
He knew that he was not in good shape and would never be a match for Puqu Demon Marshal if a real fight broke out.
Therefore, he planned to use the same old trick again, to recreate the classic - capturing the Qingge demon general, and then "using the emperor to command the princes."
Wherever Anhaihou's Dao domain was covered, the rules of the world seemed to begin to change.
All the raindrops were hanging upside down, and each drop of rain was spinning around, as if it had infinite power, and there were loud roars one after another, like raging waves.
"Bind!" Marquis An Hai, who was spinning counterclockwise from the ground to the sky, said softly.
All the water droplets condensed and turned into thousands of meteors, dragging out tails, forming a rain curtain, covering Qing Ge.
However, the ending this time is different from the last time.
Last time, all the seventh-grade demons were forced away from the bloody warship by the self-explosion of the seventh-level cultivator, so they had no time to rush to the rescue, which allowed Marquis Anhai to succeed.
This time, Demon Marshal Puqu and Demon General Qingge were only a few inches apart, but Marquis Anhai was spinning upwards from an inconspicuous corner of the ground, and the distance between them was extremely far.
Therefore, even though Marquis Anhai had seized the opportunity very well, there was still plenty of time for Puqu Demon Marshal to react.
His agate-like eyes suddenly shone with a crystal light.
Immediately, a powerful aura with amazing power turned into a black light and blocked Qingge.
The black light approached, shining directly on the rain curtain formed by raindrops, causing ripples to appear and the rain curtain to shake violently, just like a bubble being popped, and it turned into raindrops falling down into the sky again.
The black light continued to move forward with unabated force, and once again shot into Anhai Dao Domain of Marquis Anhai.
The roar echoed, and a strange power emanated from the black light, allowing it to travel safely in the Dao Realm.
The divine and demonic body cultivated by the Demon Marshal Puqu is called the Blood God Body.
The greatest magical power of the Blood God Body is the third eye that has been cultivated between the eyebrows - the Blood God Pupil, which can be used for both attack and defense, and has many auxiliary magical powers.
This black light emitted by the Blood God's Pupil continued to move forward in the Anhai Dao Realm. Although most of its power was dissipated due to the power of the Anhai Dao Realm, there was still a lot of power left, and it finally hit the Marquis of Anhai.
A magical heart-protecting mirror immediately shone on the surface of Marquis Anhai's body, gathering a defensive force to resist the black light.
Sizzle!
When the two collided, there was a sudden roar, followed by a violent vibration, and tiny ripples spread out from the point of contact layer by layer, visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the two confronted each other for hundreds of rounds before the black light completely dissipated.
At the moment when the black light dissipated, Marquis Anhai spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.
It's not that he is vulnerable, but his injuries are too serious and he is in poor condition. In addition, the attack from Puqu Demon Marshal was not a casual one, but a powerful move of his.
But Marquis Anhai quickly steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, but he glanced at Lu Qingshan inconspicuously from the corner of his eye.
He hesitated for a long time in the dark, wondering whether to take action.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was when he saw the green snake sword energy that Lu Qingshan displayed.
With Marquis Anhai's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the power of this green snake sword energy was extraordinary.
A fifth-level swordsman can actually perform moves of this level.
This shows that Lu Qingshan must be a young cultivator of genius level.
The combination of being a savior, a hero of Luoyan Pass, and a genius swordsman, as well as the last and most important point - the moral bottom line in Marquis Anhai's heart, finally prompted him to take action.
"I was right about this kid. He's an important figure." After seeing the situation on Lu Qingshan's side, Marquis Anhai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
boom!
I saw a flying sword speeding through the rain at a hundred times the speed of sound. The speed was so fast that it turned into a streak of lightning and fire. Wherever the flying sword passed, the raindrops as big as soybeans were all evaporated.
The flying sword is as powerful as a dragon or snake swimming in the water.
However, this flying sword that carried a majestic aura did not fly towards Qingge, but flew away into the distance.
It's about escaping, not attacking.
Along with the flying sword, Lu Qingshan's figure also disappeared.
Invisible sword escape!
Yes, the moment Marquis Anhai appeared, Lu Qingshan immediately used the invisible sword escape and the flying sword to quickly escape from the battlefield.
The process was almost seamless, without any lag.
In simple terms, it means...
Is it so silky?
…
It is true that a sword cultivator should “advance without retreat”, but what makes him “advance without retreat” is belief, not anything else.
If one behaves like this in all situations, then he is not a swordsman, but an idiot.
The reason why Lu Qingshan did not escape before and had to fight Qingge to the death was because with the presence of the Demon Marshal Puqu, he had no way to escape.
But now it's different.
Although Lu Qingshan couldn't figure out why Marquis Anhai suddenly appeared at this time.
But there is no doubt that the appearance of Marquis Anhai has restrained the Puqu Demon Marshal.
This also gave him a chance to escape.
If there is really no other way, who would want to die?
As for Marquis Anhai saving him, wouldn't it be too unkind of him to turn around and run away? Anyone who has such an idea is really crazy.
Not to mention that the Marquis of Anhai most likely took action to save him, so what would happen even if he stayed where he was?
Could it be possible that he, a fifth-realm sword cultivator, could fight side by side with a fusion cultivator to deal with a seventh-rank demon commander and a sixth-rank demon general?
…
Qingge's reaction was a little slower than Lu Qingshan's.
Because he had just reacted to the sudden attack from Marquis Anhai.
Although this fierce attack had been blocked by the Puqu Demon Marshal, he still had some lingering fears.
It was this slow line that allowed Lu Qingshan to gain a long distance.
If attacking is the signature skill of sword cultivators, then the speed of escape is their most powerful skill.
After using the invisible sword to escape from the battlefield, Lu Qingshan quickly flew up on the sword, entered the sword-flying state, and headed straight for Yumen Pass.
Only when he reached Yumen Pass was he truly out of danger.
Also, he was not sure whether Marquis Anhai could be a match for the Demon Marshal Puqu.
If he was no match for him, how could he have survived the hands of the Demon Marshal Puqu?
He could only do what he could at the moment - first ensure himself out of danger, and then ask for reinforcements.
In Yumen Pass, there is not only the great master of the Sword Sect, but also Xia Daoyun.
And if Xia Daoyun wanted to kill a demon commander, it would be as easy as killing a chicken or a dog.
"Your Highness, the situation is unclear. Stay closer to me. We will not chase this man for now. Anyway, we have... we can take action next time." Although the Demon Marshal Puqu saw Lu Qingshan escape, he didn't want to care about Lu Qingshan at this time.
Compared to killing Lu Qingshan, his more important task is to protect His Highness Qingge.
Therefore, he did not dare to be distracted to deal with Lu Qingshan, but only carefully watched Marquis Anhai, for fear that if he was not careful, Marquis Anhai would catch Qingge again. At the same time, he instructed His Highness Qingge not to let Qingge chase Lu Qingshan.
He was worried that it wasn't just Marquis Anhai who came alone. There might be other large human repair shops nearby.
If Qing Ge goes after Lu Qingshan, what if he falls into a trap?
Even if there were no other human cultivators lying in ambush, he was still worried about Qingge leaving him too far - who knew what kind of accidents he would encounter on the battlefield outside the domain?
How could he not know what kind of person his own prince was? How could he be at ease?
Besides, with the Baihuan Butterfly here, if Lu Qingshan can escape from the monk, how can he escape from the temple?
So, I might as well focus on dealing with Marquis An Hai in front of me first.
Puqu Moshuai's idea is very rational and reasonable.
But he forgot one very important point.
Qingge, when have you ever taken his words seriously?
The next moment, a strong demonic aura burst out from Qingge's body, and then, his figure flashed, and he flew into the direction of Lu Qingshan.
"Your Highness!" The Puqu Demon Marshal was horrified.
Here, Marquis Anhai's eyes flickered, and regardless of his own injuries, he took the initiative to kill the Puqu Demon Marshal.
In his current state, he could only try his best to delay the Puqu Demon Marshal for a while.
As for whether Lu Qingshan can escape in the end, it all depends on Lu Qingshan himself.
"If I don't kill you today, I swear I will not be a human being!" Qing Ge looked at the sword light controlled by Lu Qingshan, his eyes turned red.
From the failed attack on Luoyan Pass, to the accidental killing of a monk from the underworld in the Black Demon City and the mockery by the Spiritual Devil Lord, to now when he was sure of victory but the situation was reversed, the anger accumulated in his heart continued to ferment and had already made him lose his temper.
Qing Ge, whose heart was filled with violent emotions, ignored the instructions of the Demon Marshal Puqu and subconsciously chased after him.
Lu Qingshan, who was flying on the sword, burst out with all his strength and heard the sound of breaking air coming from behind him.
He turned his head and saw that the face of the Demon General Qingge was full of ferocious and tyrannical expressions. His figure passed quickly in the air like a phantom, and the demonic energy rushed up to form a tornado, following him closely.
Lu Qingshan didn't dare to relax, but he soon discovered a problem.
Although his speed had reached the limit, so fast that it was unimaginable, Qingge also demonstrated his strength as a primary demon general - in terms of speed, which was what Lu Qingshan was best at, Qingge was actually just a little faster than Lu Qingshan.
It’s only a little bit fast, not much.
But it is fast after all, so the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.
In other words, Qingge will catch up with him sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.
Two beams of light quickly crossed the sky one after another, causing bursts of sonic booms one after another.
After the chase lasted for a full half a quarter of an hour, Qingge finally got close enough.
boom!
Qing Ge let out a sinister laugh and swung out the black blood. A dark golden thread shot out in an instant, making a whistling sound and rushing straight towards Lu Qingshan's back.
Few Void Refinement cultivators could withstand this one blow alone.
Lu Qingshan also felt a chill down his spine, and quickly distracted himself to control Wangchuan to shoot out.
With the double amplification of the immortal meaning and the destructive meaning, Wangchuan's speed has soared to a terrifying level of one hundred and fifty times the speed of sound, and his sword has turned into thunder and fire.
And in the thunder and fire produced by Wangchuan, the sword light was shining, mixed with many starlights.
During the continuous flight, the starlight continued to grow stronger, and finally turned into starlight, like a meteor, heading directly towards the dark golden filament.
Exploding sword technique, falling stars!
boom!
This was the first time that Lu Qingshan had a head-on confrontation with the dark golden hairspring emitted by Qingge .
The lightning and fire dispersed into countless particle streams, and the dark golden thread was completely shattered under the attack of the flying sword.
"This..." Qing Ge widened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed across his ferocious face.
After annihilating the dark golden thread, Wangchuan still had some strength left and continued to blast towards him.
The flying sword with multiple amplifications was even more powerful than Qingge had imagined.
The clothes on his upper body instantly exploded under the sword force, revealing his upper body covered with dark golden secret patterns.
The Wangchuan River, with rich starlight, hit Qingge like a meteorite.
boom!
Sparks and bright starlight flew everywhere, just like a gorgeous firework exploding in the sky.
The Falling Star has a very strong repulsive ability, which is also the purpose of Lu Qingshan's use of this sword.
However, due to the difference in combat power, even such a powerful Falling Star Sword is still unable to shake Qing Ge, who possesses the combat power of a primary demon general.
But it is not without effect.
It made Qingge pause for a moment.
It was during Qingge's pause that Lu Qingshan once again widened the distance between them.
Seeing this, Qing Ge's eyes were bloodshot, and his body moved like a ghost, and he hurriedly followed again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The situation then became that whenever he was about to catch up, Lu Qingshan would use the Falling Star Sword, one after another, to stop Qing Ge.
This made Qingge feel like he was being tricked. He was extremely angry and a little shocked.
He is a sixth-rank cultivator, but he has been chasing a Void Sword Cultivator for such a long time and still hasn't caught up with him. This is simply a huge shame!
But the reason why he was reluctant to give up the pursuit was because he understood one thing.
The spiritual power of a monk is not infinite.
Why do sword cultivators rarely use their full strength to control their swords and travel at maximum speed?
Because sword-wielding in this state consumes a lot of spiritual energy, it is generally not done unless it is a critical moment.
In addition, in order to stop Qing Ge, Lu Qingshan had to use the Falling Star Exploding Sword Technique from time to time.
Qing Ge admitted that Lu Qingshan's explosive sword technique was so powerful that it did not seem like it came from the hands of a Void Refining cultivator.
However, the greater the power, the greater the loss. How many times can a fifth-level swordsman unleash such a flying sword?
As for the losses on my side...
First of all, he is at the sixth level, so in terms of endurance, he must be better than Lu Qingshan.
Secondly, his body is extraordinary, so half of his speed comes from his body . Unlike Lu Qingshan, he relies entirely on spiritual power to support his escape technique. In terms of consumption, his speed is also far less than Lu Qingshan.
Therefore, he was certain that if he continued to chase like this for a while, Lu Qingshan would inevitably fall into a state where his spiritual energy would be unsustainable.
By then, wouldn’t Lu Qingshan be his lamb to be slaughtered?
Qing Ge's eyes flashed with cold light, and he kept roaring at Lu Qingshan: "Run, keep running, I want to see how long you can run!"
Lu Qingshan was a little confused at first about Qingge's incompetent rage, but soon after, he gradually understood Qingge's thoughts.
I have to say that Qingge's method was a bit stupid and straightforward, but it really hit his sore spot.
His own cultivation is extremely profound, and his spiritual power is extremely powerful, which is not comparable to that of cultivators of the same level. However, compared with a primary demon general, he is definitely far behind.
After using all his strength to steer the sword, and taking into account the damage caused by the falling stars, Lu Qingshan discovered in just half an hour that his spiritual power was less than 50% of what it was.
It was difficult for him to win against Qingge even when he was in his prime, let alone when he was not in good shape.
In other words, even without the Puqu Demon Marshal, the current situation still seems to be a dead end for him?
No, Lu Qingshan actually saw more vitality in it!
"You want to wear me out?" Lu Qingshan murmured, but he made a decision in his heart, "Then come on."
The two men were one in front and one behind, one chasing and one fleeing, each of them had different ideas in their minds and both had a bright future.
"This guy can really escape..."
"I have already consumed nearly 50% of my magic energy, how come he hasn't reached his limit yet?" Qing Ge became more and more frightened as he chased him.
If they were not still a long distance away from Yumen Pass, he would not have dared to chase them any further.
Another half hour passed.
The two have arrived at a mountainous forest area that is rarely seen on the battlefield outside the domain.
"I only have 10% of my spiritual power left," Lu Qingshan felt his own condition and finally stopped, "His loss should be quite large."
As soon as he stopped, Qing Ge, who had been following him closely, immediately caught up with him, and at the same time he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although his situation is much better than Lu Qingshan's, it is definitely not easy.
"Why don't you run away?" Qing Ge said bitterly, "Are you giving up struggling and preparing to die?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head and chuckled to Qing Ge, "No, I just think it's about right, and the scenery here is nice."
"Almost done?" Qing Ge frowned slightly at Lu Qingshan's incoherent words, "Nice scenery?"
"Such a beautiful landscape is perfect for your grave!" Lu Qingshan shouted, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The chase between the two of them has lasted for so long.
Even if the Demon Marshal Puqu got rid of Marquis Anhai, he would not be able to catch up in a short time.
In other words, for the next period of time, it would be a one-on-one life-and-death battle between him and Qingge, and no one else would interfere.
"Kill me?" Qing Ge seemed to have heard a huge joke. "How can a cultivator like you kill me? Can you kill me back? If you can kill me with your cultivation level today, I will eat my own sword on the spot!"
"Then let's give it a try." Lu Qingshan sneered.
The next moment, in his palm, lines appeared like dragons and snakes moving, spreading rapidly like grass snakes and gray lines, forming a mysterious Taoist pattern.
Immediately, Lu Qingshan turned his hand and pressed the air towards the ground.
"The power of mountains and seas!"
Huge ripples spread out from him to an area of fifty miles in radius.
The earth began to tremble slightly, and the trees in the mountains and forests seemed to have experienced a thousand years of time changes in an instant. The green leaves fell and withered quickly, leaving only bare branches, and the bark on the surface became dry, cracked, curled up, and finally fell off.
The ground made a thudding sound and quickly cracked, revealing a series of shocking cracks.
Doomsday scene.
A tremendous force gathered together, rising from the earth, swirling up like a dragon or snake, and finally pouring into Lu Qingshan's body.
Lu Qingshan's Nascent Soul, which had been dim due to a lack of spiritual power, began to shine again with the infusion of the power of mountains and seas.
The aura on his body began to rise steadily.
In just a blink of an eye, he had recovered to his peak condition, and this was not the end yet, his aura was still rising.
Finally, it was upgraded to the level of Six Flower Realm, and the power of mountains and seas came to an abrupt end.
Lu Qingshan's spiritual power was indeed exhausted.
However, he still has the power of mountains and seas.
Qingge's consumption was real, and there was nothing to replenish it.
In other words, the current situation has changed from Lu Qingshan in the Three Flower Realm against the primary demon general Qing Ge to Lu Qingshan in the "Six Flower Realm" against Qing Ge, who is only 50% of his peak condition.
The only way to solve a dead end is death...
However, the one who will die will not be him, but Qing Ge!
