In a yellowish-red space, red mist swirled everywhere. This mist carried high temperatures, constantly rubbing against each other in the air, colliding and bursting into sparks. Muffled popping sounds echoed.
The ground was also crisscrossed with ravines, with scorching lava flowing. At this moment, behind a crimson rock, a cloud of black and white mist appeared, and after the mist dispersed, Zhang Ling's figure was revealed.
This place resembled an independent space, but it wasn't really. It was just that powerful fire array that isolated the endless lava outside, creating a separate area.
Upon arriving here, the suppression of divine sense was weakened significantly. Zhang Ling unleashed his divine sense, instantly gaining a general understanding of the surrounding situation.
This area was only about ten miles wide. The six Firecloud Elders who came down earlier were in the central area, engaged in a fierce battle.
There was actually a group of high-level fire demon beasts over there, appearing to number fifty or sixty. Piercing screeches echoed continuously. They had surrounded the six individuals in the center. However, these old monsters were not alarmed, because only two of the fire demon beasts had reached the eighth-order level.
Six Core Formation old monsters were more than capable of dealing with them, especially since Firecloud Elder and Blackwater Old Demon were both in the mid-Core Formation stage.
"Lure this group of beasts away, don't damage the seal here." Firecloud Elder was calmly directing the battle. He had to re-summon the Skyfire Bottle, and two purplish-red fire dragons immediately rushed out of the bottle, pouncing ferociously into the fire demon beast horde.
They instantly killed several high-level fire demon beasts, immediately attracting the fury of the two eighth-order fire demon beasts.
The fire demon beasts had deer heads and bird bodies, covered in messy red-black feathers. They also had two pairs of short wings on their backs. However, their size wasn't large. Most ice-fire demon beasts were only the size of ordinary horses.
Only those two fire demon beasts that had reached the eighth-order were somewhat special. The feathers on their bodies had fallen off, replaced by purplish-red scales. The wings on their backs seemed to have atrophied. They had huge deer heads, and the antlers on their heads were intricate, resembling a dragon's horns somewhat. They appeared extremely ferocious.
Seeing their kind being killed, the two eighth-order fire demon beasts simultaneously opened their mouths, instantly emitting two purplish-red pillars of fire, attacking Firecloud Elder directly.
Firecloud Elder naturally wasn't afraid. He coldly snorted, and with a flick of his hand, a crimson shield was thrown out, blocking in front of him. The pillars of fire collided with it, creating a loud boom. It steadily blocked the two attacks.
The purple-robed female cultivator, the red-faced burly man, the gaunt youth, and a gray-haired old man also attacked at the same time.
A black sword light and two crimson flying knives transformed into a sky full of sword and knife shadows, scattering into the fire beast horde. Seven or eight high-level fire demon beasts were instantly chopped into pieces.
In addition, two cyan silk ribbons, like snakes,缠绕缠绕 several fire demon beasts. Following that, a huge golden brick landed, turning the entangled fire demon beasts into mush.
In an instant, more than ten of their kind died, and the two eighth-order fire demon beasts were completely enraged. One of them roared madly, and the antlers on its head fell off, transforming into black light thorns that shot out, moving extremely fast and creating sounds of air being torn.
The others hurriedly ate, releasing defensive magical treasures or strengthening their spiritual energy shields to resist this attack that looked extraordinary.
With a series of clanging sounds, Firecloud Elder's group of six's formation was disrupted. The old man's face darkened, "Hmph, you two beasts dare to act fierce. Blackwater friend, you hold one of them back first, and I and the four friends will first eliminate the other demon beasts."
"Hehe, this one is left to this old man." Blackwater Old Demon laughed, and three black-blue spirit flags appeared in his hand at some point.
Blue light flickered, and the three flags emitted the sound of rushing water, swaying and rippling with circles of black water waves.
Blackwater Old Demon snorted lightly, "Go," and countless blue water snakes rushed out of the water waves. At first glance, there were more than a hundred of them, rushing out like a blue torrent.
It directly bombarded the other eighth-order fire demon beast that was still spewing flames from its mouth.
That fire demon beast immediately sensed the danger, transforming into a streak of fire, actually using fire escape magic to dodge the impact of the water snakes.
However, the dozen or so high-level fire demon beasts around it were not so lucky. When struck by the water snakes, they all turned into ice sculptures.
That eighth-order fire demon beast howled mournfully towards the sky, shaking its body and releasing a cloud of crimson fire. Fireballs, like shooting stars, bombarded Blackwater Old Demon.
A fierce glint flashed in the old demon's eyes, and he gave a cruel smile, unlike his previous timid appearance, instead meeting the attack head-on. The three water flags rotated continuously around his body, rippling with circles of water waves.
The oncoming fireballs were all dispelled by the cold air before they even approached him. Those blue water snakes that had been released earlier also intertwined with each other, transforming into a water snake that was twenty or thirty feet long, rushing into the fire cloud.
It suppressed that eighth-order fire demon beast in a short period of time. If this fire demon beast hadn't been proficient in fire escape magic, it would have been trapped and killed by Blackwater Old Demon in a short time.
But judging from the situation, being killed was only a matter of time.
And in this short period of time, Firecloud Elder, with the other four Core Formation cultivators, had already surrounded the other eighth-order fire demon beast.
As for the other high-level fire demon beasts, they had all been killed.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling frowned slightly. These two eighth-order fire demon beasts were only fire-attribute demon beasts, not possessing wind-attribute spiritual power, not the targets he was looking for.
Wasn't it said that there was a ninth-order mutated fire demon beast? This space shrouded by the array wasn't large. He had already scanned it back and forth with his divine sense several times, but he hadn't found that ninth-order demon beast.
At the same time, he saw that in the place where this group of fire demon beasts had been, there were several crimson light pillars. This was some kind of array artifact.
There were a total of nine light pillars, but two of them were already broken. The remaining seven light pillars pierced straight into the yellowish-red mist in the sky. Occasionally, they would shake, and dense runes would appear on the light pillars.
The nine light pillars surrounded a tall altar that was a hundred feet wide. It looked like the seal of the demon spring that these people were talking about, the Demon Sealing Altar.
However, it seemed that it had already been damaged. Because he saw at a glance that at the very top of the altar, there was a black-red long rod that was more than 10 feet high.
This seemed to be a magical treasure, pinned on the Demon Sealing Altar by someone, causing several large cracks to appear on the Demon Sealing Altar.
Zhang Ling could also clearly feel that wisps of demonic energy were constantly drifting out of the cracks in the Demon Sealing Altar. Occasionally, there was even a trace of true demonic energy leaking out.
But the strange thing was that as soon as the true demonic energy leaked out, it was absorbed by the long rod.
Just as Zhang Ling was thinking about whether to leave this place.
A scream came from the battle of Firecloud Elder. He saw that the red-faced man in the early stage of Yuanying was attacked by a suddenly appeared red light. The whole body was torn to pieces instantly.
Zhang Ling was observing the Demon Sealing Altar just now, and did not pay too much attention to the battle group in the past few years, so he did not notice how this person was attacked.
The two eighth-order fire demon beasts were suppressed by these people, and even the five Fire Cloud Elders were difficult to deal with the fire demon beasts, have been seriously injured, and their breath has weakened a lot, and even the fire escape technique seems to be difficult to use.
It is impossible to attack them.
But the next moment, Zhang Ling noticed the thing that attacked the red-faced old man, it seemed to be another monster.
I saw a group of blue and red aura, I don't know when it appeared, next to the broken body of the red-faced man, a black beast head protruded from the aura, and swallowed the red-faced man's Nascent Soul spirit body that had not yet reacted in one bite.
At this time, the Fire Cloud Elder and the others reacted with horror. How could a companion die in a blink of an eye, and the Nascent Soul did not have time to escape.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng."
Fire Cloud Elder reacted the fastest, and waved a red light between his hands. It was a red and dazzling long sword, which instantly pierced the group of blue and red aura. Let people see clearly, the monster that killed the red-faced man.
It was a humanoid monster, slender, covered with messy black and red feathers, the body was like a human, but the head was a deer head, and there was a pair of blood-red scaly wings on the back. A violent fire spiritual power mixed with equally violent demonic energy made this monster's aura extremely strong. Reached the peak of the ninth order.
"This is...what kind of monster." Seeing the lineup of this monster, the purple shirt female cultivator's face turned pale. The gaunt youth, the gray-haired old man's face also changed greatly.
"Don't panic, this is the ninth-order mutated fire demon beast. It seems that it has entered the stage of transformation, and its strength has become a bit stronger." Fire Cloud Elder's eyelids twitched, although he also felt some pressure, he could still remain calm, and quickly ordered. "Fire will go and entangle it first, you quickly kill this eighth-order one, and then come to help me."
The man pointed at the fire spirit shield in front of him, and instantly divided into three fire shields, protecting the whole body. At the same time, a black treasure bead also flew out of his mouth, spinning around, growing a piece of black and red demonic energy, and added a layer of defensive aura to his body.
Immediately afterwards, the Skyfire Bottle in his hand was reversed, and a piece of purple firelight spewed out. The adjustable purple firelight instantly weaved into a large fire net, and quickly covered the humanoid fire demon beast.
When the humanoid fire demon was two red eyes, he turned around with his own intelligence, and a blue and red aura appeared on his body, and the blood-red wings on his back fanned, and the whole body turned into a faint blue and red aura, and disappeared instantly.
Fire Cloud Elder's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect this mutated fire demon beast to be so fast.
The next moment, he sensed a killing intent on the top of his head, and saw two large paws covered with scales, grabbing them fiercely.
With a loud hiss, sharp claws pierced through the outermost two layers of Fire Cloud Elder's body in an instant.
Fortunately, the old man reacted quickly, quickly propped up the Skyfire Bottle in his hand, and a black and red flame rushed out of the bottle.
With a loud bang, the two black claws on his head were blown away, and there was a scream at the same time, hitting the fire demon beast.
After the fire, the humanoid fire demon beast had retreated fifty or sixty feet away. The two slender legs and claws were scorched black, apparently injured.
Fire Cloud Elder's face was not much better, but he became more dignified. While he was flying his hands quickly to activate the magic, he shouted to Blackwater Old Demon, "Fellow Daoist Blackwater, don't keep your hands, this beast's escape speed is too fast, it can't be dragged by fire alone. If this beast is allowed to break through one by one, there will be heavy casualties."
At this moment, on Blackwater Old Demon's side, the fire cloud released by the original eighth-order fire demon beast had been suppressed by a large mass of blue water.
At the same time as Fire Cloud Elder shouted, Blackwater Old Demon's face suddenly became gloomy, and he let out a sharp shout.
The three water paints floating outside his body instantly became transparent, and they overlapped together in an instant, turning into an ice-blue spirit flag, and the original triangular flag surface also turned into a waterfall-like ice-blue water flow.
Spinning around in the air, rippling with a circle of black water waves. The water waves only covered a width of more than ten feet at the beginning, but circles of water waves continued to spread, spreading to a range of thousands of feet in an instant.
It actually enveloped most of this space, and the original hot space also dimmed, and even wisps of ice were generated around it.
The lava area on the ground also creaked and condensed a thick layer of ice crystals.
In the water waves, there was a flash of dim light, and suddenly a long ice thorn fell, and instantly nailed the eighth-order fire demon beast that had just fought him to the ground.
The fire demon beast roared and wanted to struggle, Blackwater Old Demon grabbed the ice-blue water flag, waved it quickly, and two blue ice knives condensed in the middle, directly splitting the red demon beast into four halves.
Aww!
This immediately attracted the hatred of the humanoid fire demon beast. The mutated fire demon beast shook its body and abandoned the Red Cloud Elder and rushed towards the Blackwater Old Demon.
Blackwater Old Demon didn't dodge or avoid it, but smiled strangely, and the ice-blue water flag in his hand transformed into a water curtain as he danced, blocking in front of him.
The humanoid fire demon beast opened its mouth and spat out a red beam of light, evaporating the water curtain. But there was no trace of Blackwater Old Demon behind.
"Xuan Shui Ban"
At the same time, Blackwater Old Demon's voice came from the sky. I saw that in the circles of black water waves in the sky, the dim blue light flickered, and long ice thorns shot out.
The humanoid fire demon beast also seemed to know that it was not good, and a flash of blue and red light flashed in the sky, using the escape speed to avoid the attack.
Ice thorns kept falling, like an ice rain, turning most of the space into an ice environment. This greatly suppressed the humanoid fire demon beast.
Fire Cloud Elder was not idle either, he also released two ancient treasures, a golden light wheel, and a black long sword, to assist in suppressing the humanoid fire demon beast from the side.
This monster wanted to rush out, and the attack range of Blackwater Old Demon was forced back by him.
Under the joint efforts of the two, the humanoid fire demon beast could only continue to escape.
Even so, the beast was extremely fast, and these attacks did not pose a fatal threat to it.
"The escape technique used by this demon beast is actually the wind and fire escape technique that combines the power of wind and fire." At this time, Zhang Ling also came to the edge of the battle, staring at the battle with his eyes slightly narrowed.
This mutated fire demon beast really possesses both fire spiritual power and wind spiritual power. It is the target he is looking for.
Although it seems that the ice water attribute supernatural powers that Blackwater Old Demon is using now have a lot of suppression on the fire demon beast. But at most, it only suppresses the fire attribute supernatural powers of this beast.
If these two want to kill this beast, it will take a lot of time to consume this beast.
At this time, another scream came from the other side. It was not a scream of a monk, but another eighth-order fire demon beast, which was besieged and killed by the four people.
Woohoo!
The humanoid fire demon beast noticed the death of its last companion and roared madly, a layer of black gas appearing on its body. Ignoring the Blackwater Old Demon's ice spike attacks and the Fire Cloud Elder's two magical weapon attacks, it charged towards the magic sealing altar that the others had deliberately avoided, even at the cost of sustaining numerous wounds.
"Not good."
