Chapter 66: "One Demon Beast, Two Demon Beasts"
Chapter 66: "One Demon Beast, Two Demon Beasts"
Fatty Dragon's expression was complex as he watched Chen Qiu's departing figure without saying a word. When he was captured and taken to the Flower Offering Sect on the road, he had desperately prayed for someone like a scholar to descend from the heavens and rescue him from his dire situation.
But he never got his wish.
If not for selling his body to save himself, perhaps he would have been drained dry and left as a dried-up corpse in the mountains by now.
The Heavenly Dao may not care, but Little Fish did.
And at this moment—
Chen Qiu's palm continuously emitted flashes of lightning, blocking the city gate. He kept throwing out Palm Heart Lightning, not even needing to aim to hit his targets.
Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Stage could one release their Divine Sense over a large area, locking onto enemies to ensure maximum accuracy with their spells. Before that, they could only rely on their eyes for aiming.
However, there were too many demonic beasts in front of him to count, so aiming was unnecessary.
Even though the spiritual energy in this Heavenly Dao was extremely rich, one still needed to sit cross-legged and circulate their Heart Technique to absorb the energy. This was when the benefits of the Heavenly Mandate Foundation became apparent; he didn't need to circulate any techniques, as the Heavenly Mandate Foundation automatically rotated, absorbing the energy for him.
The malevolent spirits behind him also increased in number.
Each dead demonic beast brought him ten demonic beast malevolent spirits, and most of the beasts in front of him were also at the Qi Condensation Stage.
But there were still too many demonic beasts.
Chen Qiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he sent all the malevolent spirits forward to block the city gate, securing a relatively safe position for himself. Then, he unleashed dozens of Palm Heart Lightning spells!
With the buff from the "Spiritual Energy Pressure" entry, the power of his spell had surpassed that of his peers. Furthermore, this spell was at the Great Perfection level, and with the additional buff from the "Focus Power" entry, its power was incredibly exaggerated.
A casual strike would instantly kill Qi Condensation Stage and Foundation Establishment Initial demonic beasts without much resistance.
Moreover, in a state of abundant spiritual energy, he seemed to have transformed into the reincarnation of the Thunder God, standing in place as countless bolts of lightning struck the darkness, the blinding light illuminating the entire battlefield.
"One demon beast, two demon beasts..."
With each kill, Chen Qiu silently counted in his heart. Every time he killed a demon beast, his Earthfire Foundation would widen by a hair, but unfortunately, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits that split from these demon beasts did not count as individual kills.
A bit of a pity.
Demon Monarch Wan Yaozi.
He silently remembered this name in his heart, wondering if he would have the chance to capture this person in the future. If nothing else, this method of subduing demons was far more effective than lighting the Demon Subduing Incense.
It felt so refreshing.
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him. For a moment, he even envied these Heavenly Prisoners, living in such an exaggeratedly dense spiritual energy environment for an extended period.
And so,
An hour later, the city gate was filled with countless demonic beast corpses, and Chen Qiu finally snapped out of his battle trance. He shuddered slightly and scanned his surroundings.
At this point, his Earthfire Foundation had expanded to over twenty-one thousand li.
Over eleven thousand demonic beasts had died at his hands, causing his Earthfire Foundation to be able to contain twice as much spiritual energy as before, especially in this environment of abundant spiritual energy. He didn't even need to take Qi Supplement Pills; his Earthfire Foundation was already filled to the brim.
He turned around.
However, behind him, countless angry roars and sounds of fighting echoed from within the city walls. The demons weren't just blocking this one gate; he could defend this gate, but he couldn't hold back the others.
"Where are the scholars?"
Chen Qiu subconsciously tightened the robe around him, his teeth chattering as he looked at Fat Dragon standing at the city gate. At this moment, over eighty thousand vengeful spirits surrounded him, and the intense coldness pierced his bones.
He felt an overwhelming chill.
So cold that he shivered.
He had only killed over ten thousand demons, but each demon's split Three Souls and Seven Spirits had individually transformed into a vengeful spirit beast. After accounting for those consumed in battle, there were still over eighty thousand vengeful spirits quietly standing behind him.
The surging vengeful qi was almost unbearable even for a ghost cultivator, forcing them to retreat! Once, in Ask Heaven Market, a Taoist priest had told him that he carried thousands of vengeful spirits that needed to be dispelled quickly. Now, with over eighty thousand vengeful spirits, the powerful vengeful qi had made his body ice-cold to the bone.
This was why, even with these vengeful spirits released and staying behind him, he still felt a little better. If they hadn't been released and were still on his back, they might have crushed him completely.
"The scholars went into the city to kill the demons."
"Didn't the scholar say he was poisoned and couldn't move?"
"He said that on normal days, he couldn't move. A large amount of spirit energy was needed to suppress the toxins in his body. Although consuming the Heavenly Dao Treasure Jade alleviated it a lot, it only ensured that his cultivation wouldn't drop. Usually, he could only use a small amount of spirit energy to control his flying sword."
"But the spirit energy here is extremely dense, so there's no need to worry about that. He can use some methods now."
"Hmm."
Chen Qiu nodded, his eyelids drooping, as he stood in place, using his longsword to support himself to prevent from falling. At this moment, he only felt tired, exhausted, and cold.
It felt like a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on his back, making it difficult for him to straighten up.
The final solution, of course, was to control these demons and send them deep into the black mist, far away from him. Then, when the time was right, they would naturally dissipate into the universe, but this would also eliminate a significant portion of his combat power.
Currently, many demons had already rushed into the city, so they had to deal with them first.
"Let's go."
Chen Qiu asked Fat Dragon to come over and support him. Taking a deep breath, he slowly straightened up and headed into the city, with tens of thousands of vengeful spirit beasts following closely behind. Although these vengeful spirit beasts were under his control, they couldn't be too far away from him, and he could only give them simple commands.
For example, to attack or defend.
He couldn't make the vengeful spirit beasts behind him rush into the city and disperse to besiege the demons; it required more intricate control.
Looking ahead, the once bustling Fufeng City was now filled with corpses. The green stone road was littered with overturned fruit poles and vendor stalls. Children's pitiful cries mixed with the roars of demons, echoing throughout Fufeng City.
Enveloped in black mist, Fufeng City had extremely low visibility.
In such an environment, fear overwhelmed them, and they could only scatter like headless flies. From time to time, there were voices of command, but who could remain calm at this moment? Everyone was fighting for their own survival.
"Roar!"
Just as a massive bear-like demon opened its blood basin-sized mouth, about to devour a little girl curled up in the corner.
"Boom!"
Dozens of vengeful spirit beasts burst out of the black mist, sending the bear-like demon flying to the side.
