Seeing the humanoid fire demon beast about to rush towards the Demon Sealing Altar, the Fire Cloud Elder shouted, "Not good!"
The golden flying wheel and black flying sword he controlled transformed into two streaks of light, chasing after the humanoid fire demon beast.
The Black Water Old Demon snorted coldly. The ice-blue water flag danced wildly, throwing out a dense array of water balls. These water balls were like large raindrops, landing ahead of the Wind Demon Altar surrounded by nine fire pillars, merging into a thick water curtain, blocking the fire demon beast.
At the same time, the water waves released by this old demon, shielding the top of his head, shot out ice thorns, no longer scattering randomly over a wide area, but sweeping in a line towards the fire demon beast's inevitable path.
Countless ice thorns hit the fire demon beast, creating a chaotic clanging sound.
However, this ninth-order fire demon beast was extremely valiant, enduring countless ice thorns, spitting out a patch of purple-red flames, and crashing into the water curtain blocking its path.
The forces of water and fire intersected, producing a large amount of air waves. But in an instant, the flames overwhelmed the water curtain, and that layer of water curtain was vaporized by the powerful fire spiritual power.
This was just an attack launched by the Black Water Old Demon in haste. The fire demon beast did not stop at all and passed through.
Then, they heard the fire demon beast let out a hiss. Its body flew out horizontally, and it was knocked back fifty or sixty zhang away in an instant.
It turned out that the Fire Cloud Elder had arrived later but reached first, blocking the beast.
Just as the fire demon beast passed the water curtain, a golden light flashed before its eyes. The golden wheel slashed over with a sizzling sound. The demon beast waved its two front claws, and streaks of cyan claw marks burst out, resisting the golden wheel.
Its blood-red wings behind it flapped, seemingly wanting to escape again.
At this moment, the Fire Cloud Elder's other magic weapon, the black flying sword, appeared behind the fire demon beast at some unknown time, and slashed fiercely towards the beast's head.
The fire demon beast was very perceptive and immediately sensed the danger. Its head shook strangely, and the intertwined black antlers on its head became thicker and longer, like several thick branches, resisting the black flying sword.
The power of this black flying sword was not small. The black sword light flashed, and amidst a burst of cracking bone sounds, most of the fire demon beast's antlers were chopped off.
However, the flying sword also deviated from its position, only cutting a bloody mark on the fire demon beast's shoulder. This kind of injury was not fatal to a ninth-order demon beast.
However, in pain, the fire demon beast's claw glow slowed down by half a beat, and it was immediately knocked away by the golden light wheel. The golden wheel cut fiercely into the fire demon beast's two forearms, causing its arms to immediately become bloody.
The fire demon beast went mad, disregarding its injuries, and slapped the light wheel away with its claws.
At the same time, a green ribbon, a flame flying knife, and a huge ball of golden light also attacked the fire demon beast.
These attacks were launched by the purple-shirted female cultivator, the gaunt youth, and the gray-haired old man. They had rushed over after killing the eighth-order fire demon beast.
It was just that the fire demon beast suddenly rushed towards the Demon Sealing Altar, catching them somewhat unprepared.
The fire demon beast flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of cyan-red light, dodging these attacks. But it did not really escape danger.
Because of the addition of the purple-shirted woman and the other two, the fire demon beast was surrounded by these five people.
The Black Water Old Demon was also wildly wielding the ice-blue water flag. The water waves shrouded in the air transformed into a piece of black water that fell down, tightly sealing the space within three or four hundred zhang, constantly compressing the fire demon beast's movements.
The golden light wheel, black flying sword, dense ice thorns, green ribbon, and other series of attacks all greeted the fire demon beast.
Although the fire demon beast was proficient in escape techniques, it was trapped in place. Although it still relied on high-speed movement to dodge many attacks, it was only a trapped beast fighting desperately.
Zhang Ling, who saw this scene from the side, squinted his eyes and stroked the Void Worm wrapped around his arm. He also planned to attack.
Once these five people had exhausted some of the fire demon beast's strength, he would be confident of killing the beast with one blow and obtaining its magic crystal.
Although he was looking for a Wind-Fire demon core, the demon beast's magic crystal also belonged to the Yuan Ling material, and of course, it also met the requirements for refining a spirit-replenishing treasure.
What's more, it was still a ninth-order demon beast.
The only trouble was that it would take some time to refine the magic crystal. After all, demonic energy was more violent than spiritual energy.
But this was only a small problem, and besides, he had already refined a few strands of true demonic energy. Refining the demonic energy in the magic crystal was not a problem.
"This beast is at the end of its rope. Let's work harder and we will definitely kill this beast."
Under the five people's siege, even if the ninth-order fire demon beast relied on its escape speed to dodge most of the attacks, some attacks still landed on its body, leaving many scars on it.
With a loud bang, the fire demon beast in the battle was unable to dodge and was hit by the Fire Cloud Elder's golden wheel again, directly falling to the ground.
Finally, it was hit by the dense ice thorns on the ground, and most of its body was instantly frozen. This was naturally the Black Water Old Demon's doing.
This was, after all, a molten lava environment. In order to suppress the fire demon beast, the Black Water Old Demon froze the ground into solid ice, not giving the beast the slightest chance to use fire escape techniques to escape.
The fire demon beast was now like being sealed in an ice cave, and at least half of its fire attribute supernatural powers were gone.
The fire demon beast smashed on the ground, immediately broke free from the solid ice on its body, and let out an angry roar. The wings on its back spread out, but it did not use escape techniques again. The two pairs of wings circled around, protecting itself. It actually spun around in place.
A trace of cyan-black demonic energy was released from its body. In an instant, the beast transformed into a ball of cyan-black giant wind.
In the wind ball, the fire demon beast's body became blurry. But divine sense passing through the wind ball could still clearly see the fire demon art's body growing wildly.
It instantly grew to a height of ten zhang, transforming into the fire demon beast's true form. However, unlike ordinary fire demon beasts, this mutated fire demon beast was pitch-black all over, and even the beast's non- degenerated wings were dyed pitch-black. A violent demonic energy burst out from its body.
The Fire Cloud Elder and the others' attacks landed in it and were actually bounced off by this layer of hurricane. The wind ball grew larger and larger, and the frozen ground also began to crack.
"This is true demonic energy. This beast has actually refined some true demonic energy." Seeing this scene, the Fire Cloud Elder's face sank. He quickly threw out the Demon Sealing disc, and a series of magic incantations hit it.
Five-colored spiritual light flashed on the Demon Sealing disc, and a piece of five-colored runes flew out towards the fire demon beast. It was faintly visible that these runes were entangled together, transforming into several five-colored chains and wrapped towards the wind ball.
The five-colored chains rotated as the wind ball moved, and it actually suppressed the wind ball.
"Fellow cultivators don't need to worry, continue attacking. The Demon Sealing disc has a very strong suppressive effect on true demonic energy. Even if this beast has refined some true demonic energy, it won't be able to cause any trouble." The Fire Cloud Elder called out with a happy expression.
However, as soon as the voice fell, a bloody light flashed behind him, and the Fire Cloud Elder let out a scream and was smashed away.
This sudden scene caused the Black Water Old Demon and the others' expressions to change.
Zhang Ling, who was hiding beside, also had a slight change in expression. He saw clearly that the thing that smashed away the Fire Cloud Elder was actually the black-red stick he had seen before that was inserted on the Demon Sealing altar.
The stick shook in the air and instantly flew into the wind ball transformed by the fire demon beast. There was a burst of strange sounds, and at the same time, a vague strange laugh could be heard.
"Waste, I lost a lot of effort demonize you before, but you still can't deal with these few cultivators."
