Chapter 531: The Shushan Sect is in danger of extinction!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The warning bell rang throughout the entire Shushan Mountain, waking up all the Shushan disciples who had not yet entered a deep sleep.
During this period, the Demon Emperor blocked the gate of Shushan Mountain, and demons were rampant at the foot of Shushan Mountain. The crisis of annihilation loomed over the entire Shushan Sect.
All the Shushan sect disciples were unable to sleep or eat.
They practiced sword formations during the day to improve their skills in preparation for the decisive battle.
At night, it is difficult to sleep peacefully.
Most of the disciples even placed their flying swords next to their pillows, like soldiers in war, unable to slack off for even a moment.
At this moment, the alarm bells rang, and the disciples of Shushan School stood up, picked up their flying swords, and rushed out of their houses.
Outside, the elders' voices were as loud as a bell:
"The mountain protection formation has been broken, the demon tribe is attacking, Shushan is in danger! All Shushan disciples, form the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to protect the sect! The human way is uncertain, the immortal way is vast, we swear to live and die with the sect!"
"The path of humanity is uncertain, the path of immortality is vast, I swear to live and die with the sect!"
The Shushan disciples responded one after another, shouting slogans, each of them full of fighting spirit.
Although there was an unexpected surprise attack, not many people panicked.
The Shushan disciples quickly formed the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and, relying on the steep and complex terrain of Shushan, prepared to fight a desperate battle with the demon tribe that had raided Shushan.
This is the essence of Shushan.
After all, Shushan is the number one immortal cultivation sect in the world of Xianjian, and it is a sect composed mainly of the most brave and fierce sword cultivators.
Since the founding of the sect, Shushan disciples have been constantly exorcising demons and monsters. Almost every Shushan disciple is a veteran of many battles. If they were placed on earth, they would all be experienced top masters.
The Shushan disciples who were unable to fight had long been eliminated by the demons in the process of subduing demons.
Although not all of those who stayed behind were elites, none of them were afraid of death.
Moreover, the reason why Shushan Sect was founded was that Emperor Wu of Liang was a devout Buddhist and sent a large army to try to eliminate the Qi-refining practitioners on Shushan and build pagodas in an attempt to promote Buddhism and suppress Taoism.
The Shushan Immortal Sword Sect combined all the Shushan sects to fight against the army of Emperor Wu of Liang, and finally won the victory and defeated the human dynasty.
Therefore, the Shushan School was originally very militaristic, and this militaristic feature continues to this day.
Even though the demon tribe unexpectedly broke through the Shushan Sect's mountain protection formation, the Shushan Sect reacted promptly and the Shushan disciples responded quickly. They did not react slowly and be easily defeated as the demon tribe had expected.
The six elders of Shushan, led by Shushan's leader Yiming Zhenren, also appeared and stood in the most conspicuous positions to inspire people.
The head of the sect, Immortal Yiming, had white hair and beard, wrinkles on his face, and was slightly fat, but there was murderous intent in his eyes. He held the sword that was passed down from the ancestors of the Shushan Sect. Although the leader of Shushan was caught off guard, he was not afraid at all and did not show the slightest panic.
Thanks to Master Yiming's calm demeanor even when faced with a mountain collapse, all the Shushan disciples felt more at ease.
Among the Six Elders of Mount Shu, Immortal Yiming has the highest level of cultivation. Although he has not become an immortal, he is also 120 years old and has the cultivation of a semi-immortal.
The other five elders include Elder Sifeng, Elder Qingluan, Elder Hunyuan, Elder Xuanji, and Elder Nangong. They are of the same generation as Master Yiming, and their cultivation is only slightly inferior to Master Yiming.
"Brother, how come the mountain protection formation was suddenly broken? My Shushan is really facing a crisis of life and death!" Elder Qingluan is a woman who looks to be in her thirties. She is elegant and graceful, like a noble lady, and her clothes are also Tang style. At this moment, she is murderous and worried.
Immortal Yiming sighed and said, "This Heavenly Demon Emperor is indeed extraordinary. I thought he had to gather the power of all the demons to forcibly break through our Shushan Mountain Protection Formation. Who knew that he actually saw through our mountain protection formation and focused on the weak links. Taking advantage of the night, he suddenly broke our mountain protection formation. Alas, the method of summoning gods is not ready yet. We can only defend the sect with our lives! What a pity, what a pity, what a pity!"
Master Yiming said "it's a pity" three times in a row.
It's indeed a pity.
The so-called "calling gods" method is a ritual that can use the soul power of all the people in Shushan to confuse the minds of the monsters and lure them into the Monster Locking Tower.
But first, the souls of all the people in Shushan must be linked together. This involves many complicated rituals and steps, and requires at least half a month to prepare. Master Yiming has just made the plan and has not yet started the "summoning of gods", let alone completed it.
Without the addition of the souls of all the people in Shushan to form the soul form of "summoning gods", it would be impossible to confuse the Demon King like the Heavenly Demon King.
The amazing thing about the method of summoning gods is that even if an immortal has a high level of cultivation, how can the soul of one person be compared with the souls of tens of millions of people combined?
There is a huge gap in mental strength.
If you attack forcefully, the opponent will naturally wake up. If you just use illusion to confuse the opponent's mind and make him mistakenly think that the Demon Locking Tower is the key to attacking Shushan, it will not be difficult to trick the opponent into the Demon Locking Tower.
Master Yiming originally thought that the mountain protection formation could buy a month, which was more than enough time.
However, they didn't expect that the Sky Demon Emperor suddenly broke through the formation, and the demons came to attack them, so they had no choice but to fight to the death.
They can’t use the method of summoning gods and can only fight head-on. Shushan’s winning rate is not high.
“Can we ask the God Realm for help?” Elder Xuanji looked at the demons that were killing all over the mountains and felt the terrifying aura of the Heavenly Demon Emperor approaching. He said sadly, “This battle, our chances of winning are really slim. Even if we win, our Shushan Sect will suffer heavy casualties and our vitality will be greatly damaged. We may not be able to recover within a hundred years.”
Immortal Yiming said: "The God Realm will not interfere in human affairs, even if our Shushan Sect is destroyed. Moreover, one day in heaven is one year on earth, it is already too late."
Elder Hunyuan said: "Perhaps we should have joined the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance and asked for the help of the Ziyin Immortal."
"Don't even mention that! The Qionghua Sect ascended to heaven, going against the will of heaven. They have already found themselves on the way to death." Immortal Yiming said, "Besides, we didn't expect the mountain protection formation to be broken so quickly. It's too late to regret now. The only plan now is to fight to the death! This demon-suppressing sword comes from the divine realm. It is the flying sword of our ancestor and is extremely powerful. If it doesn't work, I will forcefully activate the demon-suppressing sword, at least to buy everyone a chance to escape! You guys flee separately, so that our Shushan Taoist tradition will not be destroyed!"
Feeling the urgency of the situation, the six elders of Shushan were all silent.
"Kill!"
"For the sake of His Majesty the Demon King, destroy Shushan!"
"Revenge when revenge is needed, and grievance when grievance is needed. The Shushan Mountain is unrighteous and slaughters my people. We will take action today to destroy their lineage! Kill, kill, kill!"
"Fellow countrymen, follow me, destroy the Shushan Sect, overthrow the Demon Locking Tower, the demon race will never be enslaved, long live freedom!"
Some extremely fast monsters, especially the flying ones, have already reached Mount Shu and are fighting with the disciples of Mount Shu.
The two sides were like enemies meeting each other, they were extremely jealous of each other and wanted to kill each other as soon as they met without any testing phase.
This is not a dinner party, this is a fierce struggle of life and death.
The demon race is savage and cruel, born with supernatural powers, and led by the Demon Emperor. They have high morale and are not afraid of death.
The Shushan disciples have profound sword skills and can form a Ten Thousand Immortals Array, which allows them to help each other and mobilize the spiritual energy of Shushan, making them even more powerful.
Moreover, the Shushan disciples have a Demon Subduing Book, which records in detail the characteristics of almost all the demon tribes in the world. Even the Heavenly Demon King, who just appeared in the mountains recently, is recorded in the Demon Subduing Book for the Shushan disciples to refer to.
What kind of demon tribe, what kind of spiritual power it fears, what kind of sword moves are easiest to kill, and what the opponent's weaknesses are are all recorded in the Demon-Subduing Book.
When it comes to slaying demons and eliminating evil, the Shushan School is truly an expert among experts, and the Shushan disciples are also very professional.
Therefore, if a real fight breaks out, even if the Shushan disciples fight hastily, they will basically have the upper hand.
If the number of monsters is large, these thousands of Shushan disciples will be defeated under the overwhelming numbers.
However, the number of demons is now equal to that of Shushan disciples. If they continue to fight like this, the demons will surely lose. For a time, the top of Shushan was filled with blood, and the bodies of demons and Shushan disciples kept falling to the ground.
Amidst the glare of swords and blood, neither side would admit defeat.
Because everyone knows that the victory or defeat of Shushan and the demon clan does not depend on these ordinary disciples and ordinary demons. In this world where personal power is above all else, high-end combat power determines success or failure.
However, the strength of the Heavenly Demon Emperor is so terrifying that no one in Shushan can be his match.
Therefore, although the demon clan was at a disadvantage, their morale was still high, their demonic energy soared to the sky, and they kept shouting and killing.
It was a mountain of white bones like a startled bird.
Although the Shushan disciples guarded the Ten Thousand Immortals Array tightly and had the upper hand, with their casualties far less than those of the demon clan, they were still unsure.
At this moment, the Sky Demon Emperor finally appeared.
The Demon King that day, wearing a black armor, a bull horn helmet on his head, a black cloak on his shoulders, and holding a green spear in his hand, went into battle fiercely.
At the side of the Demon Emperor, Xiaoqing was assisting him in killing the Six Elders of Shushan.
At this moment, the Sky Demon Emperor was full of confidence and sneered, "What a great Shushan Sect! They were able to react immediately after our mountain protection formation was breached. They responded in a very organized way. They are worthy of being the largest sect in the world and the sect that has harmed our demon race the most. Humph! The Demon Locking Tower? I will destroy the Shushan Sect and demolish the Demon Locking Tower today! Can you six old turtles stop me?!"
While the Sky Demon Emperor was speaking, the Six Elders of Shu Mountain, led by Taoist Master Yiming, formed the Seven Star Sword Formation and blocked the Sky Demon Emperor's way.
This Seven Star Sword Formation, centered around the Demon-Suppressing Sword in the hands of Immortal Yiming, and with the full cooperation of the Six Elders of Shushan, the power it unleashes is almost that of an immortal. It has become the Shushan sect's biggest trump card for fighting tough battles.
"Monster, die!" Master Yiming took the lead, controlling the Demon-Suppressing Sword and performing the Sword God's sword-riding technique!
The other elders also displayed their magical powers.
Some use the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, some use the Heavenly Sword Technique, and some use the Sword Controlling Technique.
The sword energy of the six elders gathered together, and their sword moves complemented each other, forming the sword light of the Big Dipper, and went towards the Sky Demon Emperor.
In the Demon Locking Tower, Murong Fu secretly commented: "It is such a waste of talent that this sword has fallen into this person's hands!"
He saw it clearly. Although Master Yiming was coming with great force, the sword in his hand did not even unleash one percent of its power.
Back then, the founder of the Shushan School, Zhenren Taiqing, could exert about one-tenth of the power of the Zhaodan Divine Sword, but today's Zhenren Yiming is far behind.
To unleash the full power of the Zhaodan Divine Sword, one needs talent, cultivation, intelligence, and an understanding of the way of the sword; none of these can be dispensable.
Among the six realms, only the former god general Fei Peng can exert his full power.
Na Weijing was a genius in swordsmanship, and he exerted about one tenth of the power of the Zhaodan Divine Sword in the Demon Locking Tower, but he also consumed a lot of energy, and ultimately he did not kill the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but only suppressed him.
Of course, Jingtian, the reincarnation of Feipeng, can probably also exert its full power.
Master Yiming is far inferior to him. The Seven Star Sword Formation he used together with the elders of Mount Shu is really of little use.
"You, a bunch of fireflies, think you can compete with the bright moon? How ridiculous! Han Qing, help me!" The Sky Demon Emperor thrust his spear with great force and without any tricks. The surging spiritual power instantly broke the joint attack of the Six Elders of Shushan.
Xiaoqing's attack was just right and instantly injured Elder Hunyuan.
The move was so brilliant and so fast that even the Sky Demon Emperor exclaimed "good".
"Ah? There is such a big monster?!"
"This monster is ferocious, not much worse than the Heavenly Demon King!"
"Oh my god, is God going to destroy my Shushan Sect? No!"
The six elders of Shushan were instantly in despair.
They couldn't handle just one Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Now there is one more big demon, whose cultivation level is not much different from that of the Heavenly Demon Emperor.
How to fight this?
Is it true that in today's world, Taoism is fading and evil is rising?
Master Yiming was in a state of confusion, but he had no time to think about it. He gritted his teeth and said to the elders of Shushan: "This monster was born, and with such a fierce helper, our Shushan Sect cannot fight against it. I will sacrifice my three flowers of spirit, energy and soul, and burn my life to exert the power of the sword to stop these two monsters for you! You should take the Shushan disciples and escape separately!"
"I originally didn't think much of joining the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but now it seems that I was wrong, very wrong! The punishment from the God Realm is a matter for the future, but for us in Shushan, it's hard to get through this hurdle right now! Quickly release Wei Jing and Dao Zhen, and let them take you to join the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance and seek help from the Qionghua Sect's Ziyin Immortal!"
"Shushan will definitely be seriously injured this time. Shushan is the backbone of the human world. Once Shushan is unable to support itself, the Heavenly Demon Emperor will surely bring disaster to the world. The Heavenly Demon Emperor alone is already a catastrophe for the people of the world, not to mention that he now has such a powerful helper. The only one who can save the world is Immortal Ziyin!"
In an instant, Master Yiming made a decision and immediately burned his essence, energy and spirit, overdrawing his life and controlling the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
A white light shone brightly on the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and the power of Master Yiming's sword moves increased tenfold.
And this Immortal Yiming used a desperate fighting style, with endless sword moves and sword energy rushing straight into the sky. He fought desperately against the Demon Emperor and Xiaoqing, like a mad dog.
With such might, even the Sky Demon Emperor had to retreat again and again.
"Senior Brother." Elder Qingluan burst into tears.
"Don't let your efforts go to waste, brother. Do as you say! We will escort your disciples away. Si Feng, you go and release Wei Jing and Dao Zhen. We will flee in all directions, so that we won't be wiped out at once!" Elder Hunyuan said with a cough.
"it is good!"
The six elders of Mount Shu were all experienced in the martial world for a long time. They knew that things were impossible, so they would naturally not be stubborn. They retreated one after another and prepared to run away with their disciples.
And Master Yiming was as crazy as a demon, and the power of the demon-suppressing sword in his hand was exerted to the extreme of his ability:
"Tiangang Sword Formation!"
Zhenren Yiming used the unique Tiangang Sword Formation, which was exclusive to the leader of Shushan Sect. At this moment, he was the only one in the formation, and dense sword energy flew towards the Demon King and Xiaoqing in the air. The power was so strong that it shook the heavens and the earth.
You know, in The Legend of Sword and Fairy II, Li Xiaoyao used this move of the Tiangang Sword Formation to seal a so-called Demon Lord. Although that was not the real Demon Lord, it also showed how powerful this move was.
However, Master Yiming's cultivation level is not inferior to Li Xiaoyao's. In Li Xiaoyao's era, the Shushan Sect had long lost the Demon-Suppressing Sword. But at this moment, Master Yiming holds the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, and the Tiangang Sword Formation he activates with the Demon-Suppressing Sword is twice as powerful as Li Xiaoyao's.
Although the Sky Demon Emperor was powerful, he was forced by the Tiangang Sword Formation to constantly dodge and move. The spear in his hand danced like an umbrella, colliding with the sword energy of the Tiangang Sword Formation, bursting into extremely brilliant sparks.
"You hateful old man, what's the point of a trapped beast's fight? It's such a waste that the Demon-Suppressing Sword is in your hands!" The Sky Demon Emperor shouted, his aura rising steadily, and in an instant he turned into his original form, which was a giant snow leopard.
"Ouch!"
The snow leopard was dozens of feet long. It waved its claws and instantly broke through the Tiangang Sword Formation.
"Han Qing, go stop those elders, I will kill this old man!" ordered the Demon Emperor.
"As you wish!" Xiao Qing smiled slightly and also transformed into his original form, but he deliberately shrunk his body to be about the same size as the Sky Demon Emperor. He turned into a black snake and swallowed Elder Hunyuan in one bite, looking very cruel.
She was originally the ancient rain master, the daughter of Chi You, and had no mercy on humans.
