If the sword was swung randomly, there was a possibility of accidentally injuring the monks from Xianxia Island, so the sword light that Ji Yuan used was not actually sweeping along the ridge, but had a tendency to rise upwards. The main purpose was to clear the fog and deter the monsters, while also telling the trapped immortal cultivators that support was coming.
A hundred miles inside the mountain range, demons were dancing wildly and fighting against immortal cultivators. A huge crack in the mountain range was spewing out the poisonous energy of the earth. The black fog that filled the sky was mixed with the demonic energy and the poisonous energy of the earth.
On the left and right sides of this crack of unknown depth, there is a huge plum blossom formation that is emitting light. There are a total of twelve light spots, and in each of them there are three or four immortal cultivators sitting cross-legged, supporting the formation with their magic power.
This formation not only protects the people in the formation, but also suppresses the evil spirits in the earth veins.
In the surroundings, in addition to scattered rocks and fallen trees, there are many potholes, some of which are like burning flames and some are like condensed ice crystals. There are also a large number of corpses of demons scattered among them, some big and some small, some were burned and some were beheaded. There are all kinds of ways of death, which is shocking to see.
All around were black winds and eerie noises like the howling of ghosts and wolves, making a disturbing and disturbing sound.
"Boom..."
A small mountain peak collapsed, and a huge furry claw shattered the mountain, sweeping the huge rocks on the top of the mountain towards Plum Blossom Needle.
"Woo... Boom..."
The huge rocks exploded, but the Plum Blossom Formation was as solid as a rock and did not move at all. However, it was hit in the middle, and several monks frowned and their breathing became a little unstable.
"Master, why don't they attack us anymore? Are they afraid of us killing them?"
At the center of the Plum Blossom Array, a young monk asked his master beside him. The master looked around, then looked at his side, and shook his head.
"No, the demons we killed in the previous hard battles were not very powerful. They were intended to wear down our magic power. The evil energy in the ground here is very toxic. Even the demons who want to use it to refine the evil energy and forcibly improve their cultivation cannot completely withstand it. Our formation is here to help them suppress the evil energy to a suitable level."
"What!?"
The young monk almost stood up from his cross-legged sitting position. He could not accept this fact.
“Hehehehehe… Hahahahaha… I didn’t expect this immortal to be able to see through it, hahahahahaha…”
“Hahahahahaha…” “Hehehehe…”
“Oh hahahahaha…”
At one time, a huge amount of laughter came from the darkness in the distance. The harsh noise was so loud that it could even make some monks with weaker cultivation feel uneasy.
“Ahahahaha… While you’re all relying on your formation to act like cowards, your mountain gates have been completely destroyed, and the monks left inside have all died!”
“Yes, yes, although the cultivation is a little weak, but the immortal spirit is pure, it is really nourishing!”
"Yes, yes, yes. Especially those boys and girls, they are so tender and beautiful, they are a great tonic!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
The demon's laughter never stopped, and it poured into the ears of the immortal cultivators. Many cultivators were also knowledgeable and quickly isolated themselves to avoid being affected by the mind-capturing method.
“These evil obstacles!”
A cultivator could only curse under his breath but was unable to leave the formation. They all knew how many demons there were outside, and because they were suppressed by the formation, the poisonous aura in the veins close to the ground was the most concentrated.
Whether it is fighting against a group of monsters and demons or being exposed to poison for a long time, it is a very dangerous thing and is tantamount to seeking death.
Even if the mountain gate is really destroyed, we cannot act rashly at this moment.
"Hehe, laugh, be arrogant..."
There was a cultivator in the plum blossom formation sneering with gritted teeth. This group of demons was huge in number, and there were even quite a few terrifying ones hiding.
Even if a broken ground vein would attract demons, it wouldn't be so strange, not to mention that there are quite a few terrifying creatures among them.
Despite this, the cultivators did not give up hope, because the demons did not know that they were just a small and unknown sect nearby, but in fact they were a branch of Xianxia Island.
Even though they were completely isolated in the mountains, and even though the branch mountain gate might have been destroyed, they could still shatter their natal talismans to notify Xianxia Island that they were in danger. Even if they died then, the sect would definitely give the demons a thundering blow.
And now, we can only hold on as long as we can!
On a high peak of the mountain, there was a figure wrapped in black air. He looked like a handsome official, with good skin, clothing and facial features, but there was a weird and eerie feeling. There were also many similar "people" standing beside him. Looking closely at many of the surrounding peaks, there were quite a few people with demon bodies that were about to transform.
"These so-called 'immortals' seem quite calm?"
“Haha, immortal cultivators cultivate their bodies and minds. Even if they are just a small sect, how could they be so easily broken by our words? Not to mention that they will definitely comfort themselves that the sect is fine, and even if it is really destroyed, they will be able to stabilize it for a while.”
"Hahahaha, that's good too. It will help us stabilize the earth veins. We can kill them when the time is right."
Listening to the demons and monsters on the side teasing and laughing, the handsome demon in the middle smiled faintly and spoke in a cold voice.
“They must be waiting for their chance.”
"what chance?"
When someone asked, the handsome devil sneered.
"Of course it's an opportunity to counterattack. Otherwise, it's better to fight hard and fight us instead of wasting your mana. Although immortal cultivators are ethereal, they are also brave."
"Chance, haha, do they still have a chance?"
There was a transformed monster nearby, sneering and mocking.
"There are no immortal gates within a radius of thousands of miles. The mountain god of this mountain wanted to collect the earth veins before, but he was already torn into pieces by us. There are almost no so-called righteous people around. Where is their chance?"
A faint light flashed in the handsome man's eyes as he scanned the surroundings.
"Hehehe, we'll have to wait and see. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it."
That is this moment.
brush…
A dazzling sword light lit up from afar, and in an instant, the sword energy was crisscrossed like a crescent moon sweeping across. The surrounding darkness was like a curtain being swept aside wherever the sword energy passed.
“Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…”…
The sword light swept across the mountaintops, and wherever it reached, the peaks exploded and rocks flew everywhere.
"Ah..." "What is this..."
"Run..." "Walk..."
brush…
Although the sword light swept vertically, the sweeping area was not small. In addition, the speed was too fast. If there were demons standing on the mountains along the way, most of them would die if they were not powerful enough to avoid them in advance.
The demons on a mountain peak at the end almost faced the sword energy of the immortal sword head-on. That unparalleled momentum swept over, and the mere sight of it gave the evil spirits a bone-chilling chill, making many demons' bodies stiff and unable to move.
With a loud swish, the sword light brushed the mountain top and swept into the distant sky. Some demons squatted on the mountain trembling, watching with lingering fear the distant sword light breaking through the darkness.
But this is not the end. The next moment, infinite light shines on the mountains. Colorful clouds fly into the sky, dispelling the rolling darkness. The entire mountain range presents brilliant and colorful light, illuminating the peaks and the earth here.
"Xianxia Island monks, listen up! Any demons here must be killed without mercy, and their bodies and souls must be exterminated!"
Rays of colorful clouds spread out in the sky above the mountains. In each ray of light there were one to three monks from Xianxia Island. Some were waving their whisks, some were offering up magical instruments, and some were using their supernatural powers. All of the magical lights came out at once, bringing a devastating disaster to the group of monsters and demons who were still frightened by the sword energy.
"Boom..."
The sky turned dark again, but this time it was thunderclouds gathering.
“Crack…Boom…” “Crack…Crack…Crack…”
Bolts of lightning struck one after another, sweeping across the mountains.
The demons who realized the situation belatedly finally reacted. Some of them ran away, while others fought with the monks from Xianxia Island.
At the plum blossom formation of the ground crack below, a group of surviving monks looked at the sky full of lightning and colorful clouds, and everyone's confidence was boosted.
"My Xianxia Island is here to help!"
There were some knowledgeable people on many hilltops. The demon who looked like a handsome young man also looked at the rays of light and lightning that were spreading like a tide with a little surprise.
"The one who came here is Xianxia Island in the East China Sea?"
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Xianxia Island has a great reputation, so many monsters have heard of it. Some have already backed off, but some have absorbed the poison and are at the point of breakthrough, and have been stimulated to become extremely arrogant.
"So what if it's Xianxia Island? There are many demons and monsters here, including many big demons. Even if the cultivators from Xianxia Island come, they have to stay here! Roar..."
As the monster roared violently, its body continued to grow taller, and its demonic aura spread, revealing its true form: a giant bear as big as a hill.
"Roar… "
The giant claw filled with black light slapped down fiercely, hitting two flashes of light.
"Bang..." "Boom..."
There was almost no interval between the two loud noises. It was the sound of two immortal cultivators being knocked away and crashing into the mountain.
This also successfully attracted the attention of many immortal cultivators, and in an instant, many heavenly thunders fell on the giant bear.
“Crack, crack, crack…”
"Boom..."
"Bang..." "Bang..."
Two earth walls suddenly rose up on both sides of the giant bear, trapping him in between. Thunderbolts fell down and paralyzed his body. Then beams of rosy clouds and strong winds swept over, peeling off his skin, flesh and bones...
There were three Xianxia Dao elders who took action. Ji Yuan, the leading old man, the Confucian scholar, and a woman all landed on a high mountain top and looked down. Their eyes swept over many mountaintops that were much thinner but still hidden in the black fog.
"Demons are just demons. They don't seek hardship. This kind of evil spirit will help them break through. Sooner or later, they will be doomed."
"Brother, there are probably many big demons in the dark around here."
Hearing the woman's words, the old man nodded.
"Well, we have to eradicate all the evil. Let's do it. Mr. Ji, please stay here for a while so that you can help us with your sword."
"good!"
Ji Yuan agreed readily, without any resistance to not taking him along. He watched the three rays of light around him disappear into the distance and head straight for the edge of the mountain.
In Ji Yuan's Dharma Eye, the cultivators of Xianxia Island were extremely organized at this moment. The number of cultivators at the center, the edge and everywhere remained almost even. The six elders also flew towards the six directions. The rosy cloud formation was not at all disordered and the colorful clouds were becoming brighter and brighter.
To be honest, Ji Yuan felt that there was no need for him to take action or he could not lend a hand to help, as these immortal cultivators moved extremely quickly and were very methodical in their formations.
Ji Yuan was like a bystander, holding a sword in his left hand and with his hands behind his back, he stood on the top of the solitary peak, isolated from the world, witnessing the coexistence of rosy clouds and lightning around him, and the rise and fall of evil and demonic energy.
Even if the blood and evil spirit of demons flowed back to this mountain, they would gently slide away around Ji Yuan.
On a distant mountain peak, several demons including a handsome young man were still lurking, watching coldly as the immortal cultivator fought with other demons.
"My Lord, should we fight or retreat?"
At this moment, the handsome young man's gaze pierced through the heavy fog and the many magical lights and demonic auras, looking at Ji Yuan on the isolated peak in the distance. All the filth and evil spirits were flying around the peak.
"Although the cultivator from Xianxia Island who has already taken action is powerful, he is not the focus. The one we need to be most careful of is the one who has not moved. The sword attack at the beginning must have come from this person."
While the handsome young man was speaking, Ji Yuan seemed to sense a strange gaze. He slightly side-glanced in the opposite direction, and his pale eyes slightly opened. His Dharma eyes met the handsome young man's eyes from a distance, causing the latter's heart to tremble slightly.
"Yun Shen doesn't know Xianxia Island... Let's retreat and let them fight here. The evil energy of the ground veins here has been gathered enough."
"Yes!" "Yes, sir!"
The next moment, the demonic energy of the mountain flowed like water, blending into the ground and gradually disappearing into the mountain wall.
But even after this group of demons left, there were still many powerful monsters and demons. Although some of them noticed the handsome young man leaving, many of them just sneered in response.
