Chapter 284 The Old Demon
Xiao Ling's strength is obvious to all. He can easily deal with the combined strength of two Dou Zongs. Such strength has at least reached the level of a six-star Dou Zong. The opponents on the other three battlefields have also been suppressed by Xiao Ling's people. The situation is obvious.
Although Mo Tianxing had a lot of thoughts in his mind, they were all fleeting. He quickly made a decision. For his Black Emperor Sect, this muddy water was not something he could easily get involved in. He realized that with his strength as a four-star Dou Zong, if he rashly joined the battle, he would probably be courting death.
Mo Tianxing was just about to speak, saying that he was only there to observe the situation and had no intention of taking action against Xiao Ling and the others.
However, just as he was about to speak, Fang Yan took advantage of a gap in the battle and sent a message to Mo Tianxing: "Sect Master Mo, I have sent someone in Black Emperor City to inform the Valley Master, and the Valley Master should be on the way. Tang San was hiding his strength before, obviously trying to lure us in. Once he finishes us off, you, the Black Emperor Sect, can't expect to stay out of it. Right now, your best choice is to join forces with us and delay until the Valley Master arrives, so that we can resolve the current dilemma."
Then, the old man Yingshan also joined the discussion, "That's right, Sect Master Mo, you don't want to see your son in danger here, do you? We can push the unidentified Five-Star Dou Zong out first and let him resist Tang San and the others. We just need to wait for the Seven-Star Dou Zong Earth Demon Old Ghost to arrive, and then it will be easy to escape. Maybe we can take the opportunity to get rid of these guys and make a fortune. Judging from their wealthy appearance before, they must have a lot of treasures on them."
As for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, Mo Tianxing knew clearly that once the old demon Earth Demon arrived, if he could defeat Tang San, the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva would definitely fall into his hands.
Hearing Fang Yan and the voice transmission from the old man Yingshan, Mo Tianxing swallowed back the words he was about to say. His eyes flickered, and he was obviously weighing the pros and cons quickly in his mind.
However, Mo Tianxing soon put on a warm smile on his face, and said to Fang Yan lightly: "Haha, Fang Yan, you are wronging me. When did I say I would take action? The Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva was auctioned off by my Black Emperor Sect. If I still fight for it, I will be contradicting myself. Where will the reputation of our Black Emperor Sect be? We are not like you, the Demon Flame Valley, who do not follow the rules."
There was a hint of teasing in his words, and he obviously didn't intend to be swayed by the words in the dialect.
After hearing what Mo Tianxing said, Fang Yan and Old Man Yingshan's faces turned ugly. They already felt the pressure. It seemed that the previous persuasion did not move this old fox Mo Tianxing. This Mo Tianxing was really hopeless. He couldn't see the situation clearly.
Even Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and wondered in his heart what Mo Tianxing was planning.
But at this moment, Xiao Ling's gaze suddenly turned to the north, and he felt a strong cold breath approaching them rapidly.
Xiao Ling whispered to himself: "I seem to have felt this aura somewhere before. It seems to be that old fellow, the old demon. This time, maybe I can solve all the troubles in one fell swoop, and the harvest should be very good."
Just when everyone's attention was focused on Mo Tianxing, wondering whether he would choose to watch or leave, Mo Tianxing seized the moment when Xiao Ling was distracted. He suddenly attacked Xiao Zi and Medusa. Although the attack was hasty and not powerful, it was enough to disrupt the offensive of the two.
After the attack, Mo Tianxing did not stop. He immediately led the Black Emperor Sect's Dou Wang and Dou Huang around him to evacuate quickly and fled into the distance at a high speed.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yan and Elder Yingshan's eyes flashed with excitement, and they quickly made a decision. No longer entangled with Medusa and Xiao Zi, Fang Yan took the other two Douhuang peak elders of the Demon Flame Valley and chased in the direction of Mo Tianxing's escape like escaping prey.
As for the other Dou Huang and Dou Wang-level subordinates in the Demon Flame Valley, Fang Yan had no time to care about them at the moment, and their fate seemed to no longer matter. At this critical moment, Fang Yan and Old Man Yingshan were obviously more concerned about their own safety.
The old man from Yingshan was lucky when he escaped. Although his breathing was a little rapid, he did not suffer any serious injuries overall.
In comparison, Fang Yan and several other elders of the Demon Flame Valley were not so relaxed.
They originally wanted to take back the Huasheng Fire that they had condensed with all their Dou Qi before retreating, but they didn't expect Xiao Zi to intervene and completely disrupt their plans, making it impossible for them to take the Huasheng Fire back into their bodies.
The three of them were extremely saddened by the loss of the Huasheng Fire, because this fire condensed all the pure fighting spirit in their bodies and was the essence of their strength.
In order to enhance the power of the Fire of Transformation and gain an advantage when fighting against Xiao Zi, they even used the "secret method of blood sacrifice" and injected their own blood essence into it to enhance the power of the Fire of Transformation.
Although in theory, if they are willing to take some special measures, it is still possible to take the Huasheng Fire back into their bodies. However, as a fire-attributed monster, Xiao Zi's control over fire should not be underestimated. Although she did not directly prevent the Huasheng Fire from returning to their bodies, her obstruction was enough to prevent the three elders from easily taking back the Huasheng Fire.
Among all the people present, perhaps only Xiao Ling could use the power of the strange fire to forcibly block the connection between the Huasheng Fire and the three elders.
In order to reunite with Mo Tianxing as soon as possible, the three of them had to reluctantly give up the fire. They knew that if they continued to stay here, once Xiao Ling came to his senses, they might not even have a chance to escape.
This decision cost them a heavy price. Fang Yan, who was originally a Dou Zong strongman, now had his cultivation level plummeted from Dou Zong to Dou Huang five-star. The other two Dou Huang peak elders of the Demon Flame Valley also suffered heavy losses, their cultivation levels plummeted to one-star Dou Huang, and they were seriously injured and became extremely weak.
Their choices, though painful, were driven by the instinct of survival. In this life-and-death struggle, they had to make the cruelest choices to save their lives.
Seeing their opponent Mo Tianxing retreat, Xiao Zi and Medusa chased after him without hesitation. Zi Yan seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on the abandoned Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs.
As for Xiao Ling, although he noticed Mo Tianxing's attack just now, he knew that the attack would not pose a real threat to Xiao Zi and Medusa, so he did not step forward to help.
He observed the situation and soon realized that there might be collusion between Mo Tianxing, Fang Yan and Old Man Yingshan. They seemed to be planning to sacrifice the five-star Dou Zong strongman in exchange for their own chance of escape.
A sneer appeared on Xiao Ling's lips. He had no intention of letting Mo Tianxing's plan succeed.
Noticing that Xiao Zi and Medusa were quickly chasing Mo Tianxing and the others, Xiao Ling realized that the two of them alone might not be able to deal with the combined forces of Mo Tianxing and the other two.
So, he quickly sent a message to Xiao Yixian: "Xian'er, go support Medusa and the others. Make sure to hold back Mo Tianxing and the others. Don't let anyone escape. Let me handle the Five-Star Dou Zong here."
After receiving Xiao Ling's instructions, Xiao Yixiang immediately nodded. Without saying much, she immediately gave up the entanglement with the five-star Dou Zong and turned to chase Mo Tianxing in the direction of his escape with Xiao Zi and Medusa.
Xiao Ling did not delay at all. He quickly moved in front of the five-star Dou Zong and launched a fierce attack without hesitation.
The five-star Dou Zong warrior looked around and soon realized that he had been betrayed. Mo Tianxing and his men were obviously planning to use him as a sacrifice, using his life as a price to buy time so that they could escape.
His eyes were burning with anger, almost spitting fire, and his eyes were full of hatred towards Mo Tianxing and the others, "You bastards, you will not have a good ending!"
However, his roar seemed so powerless at this moment. He was already in poor condition, and his strength was inferior to Xiao Ling. In addition, Xiao Ling's strength was far beyond that of his peers, so the battle came to an end not long after.
Xiao Ling held the gun in one hand, and the sharp tip of the Meteorite God Weapon accurately pierced his heart, causing a brilliant blood-red flower to bloom in the air. Then Xiao Ling raised his hand slightly and lifted his body up in the air, making him another dead soul killed by the Meteorite God Weapon.
While Xiao Ling quickly dealt with the five-star Dou Zong, Xiao Yixian, Medusa and Zi Yan had also successfully intercepted Mo Tianxing and the other three, preventing them from escaping the battlefield easily. Although Xiao Yixian and the other three were much stronger than Mo Tianxing, the dozens of Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs from the Black Emperor Sect kept interfering, making the battle between the two sides evenly matched and the situation somewhat stalemate.
When Mo Tianxing and the others saw Xiao Ling defeat the five-star Dou Zong so quickly, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Xiao Ling's strength far exceeded their expectations and was simply not something they could match.
A trace of panic began to arise in their hearts. After all, they had been active in the Black Horn Region for so long and had accumulated considerable fame and status. Was this going to end here today?
Their mood was like the sky covered by dark clouds, and all their original little thoughts were shattered by Xiao Ling's powerful strength.
In the Black Horn Region's world of the jungle, they used to be awe-inspiring beings, but now, facing Xiao Ling, they felt powerlessness and despair for the first time.
However, Xiao Ling did not keep his eyes on Mo Tianxing and the others, but turned his attention to the north, where there seemed to be things he was more concerned about.
His hands did not stop moving, and he performed a series of smooth movements, taking in the soul, removing the storage ring, and putting away the corpse. Everything was done neatly and efficiently, revealing his familiarity and sophistication in this area.
"It seems that the old demon is finally here. Haha, I have prepared a special surprise for you." Xiao Ling whispered to himself, with a mischievous smile on his lips.
Everyone present noticed Xiao Ling's unusual expression and also felt the subtle change in the atmosphere.
And just as everyone was looking into the distance following Xiao Ling's gaze, an old voice that seemed to penetrate the space, like thunder in the sky, rumbled across the sky.
"Haha, it looks like it's quite lively here. I've come here in person. Isn't it time for you little guys to show your respect?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice, as if he was enjoying this condescending attitude.
The thunderous sound made people's eardrums tremble, and the people around felt a strong pressure, as if the whole space was shaking under the vibration of the sound. However, Xiao Ling's face was unusually calm, and he was not shaken by the sound.
The sound reverberated among the mountains, and the lingering sound was like the ancient Buddhist chant resonating in everyone's heart, shocking people involuntarily.
Shortly after the old voice was heard from afar, bursts of air-breaking sounds suddenly came from the horizon. In just a moment, a group of small black dots appeared in everyone's sight. As the distance quickly closed, these black dots gradually turned into a group of fierce figures. They stopped above the mountains, like a group of storms about to come.
Xiao Ling's gaze slowly swept across the group of about twenty people, and finally stopped on the person in the center who had a unique temperament and seemed somewhat familiar to Xiao Ling.
He was an old man with bloodshot hair and wearing a yellow skull robe. His face was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. At first glance, he looked like a moving skeleton.
His eyes were very deep-set, flickering with a faint light like a will-o'-the-wisp, revealing a weird and eerie aura.
The blood-haired old man stood in mid-air, his eyes coldly examining the battlefield below. Whenever his robe sleeves swayed gently in the wind, the surrounding space would produce a barely perceptible fluctuation. Although this fluctuation was weak, it was enough to reveal his powerful cultivation and strength.
This old man was none other than the Earth Demon Old Ghost who had made a deal with Xiao Ling, and behind him were a large number of elites from the Demon Flame Valley, all of whom were Dou Huang and Dou Wang level warriors. Obviously, this time the Earth Demon Old Ghost was serious, and had brought almost all of the high-level combat power from the Demon Flame Valley here.
As soon as this group of fierce figures appeared, a heavy sense of oppression descended from the sky, as if the entire mountain range was shrouded by this force, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it.
The people who were fighting also stopped and distanced themselves from each other. The tense atmosphere in the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
When Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan and Medusa saw the appearance of the old demon, their faces became more serious than before, but they did not show too much worry. The three of them exchanged glances with Xiao Ling, and then nodded in tacit understanding. Then, they rode Xiao Zi and flew to Xiao Ling's side.
As soon as Mo Tianxing and the others saw the figure of the old demon, they immediately showed ecstatic expressions on their faces, as if they saw the dawn of hope in despair. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately rushed in the direction of the old demon and quickly met him.
Fangyan's performance was particularly outstanding. He was originally very weak, but at this moment he seemed to be injected with a new strength and quickly rushed to the front of the old demon.
His face was filled with grief and anger, and his voice was filled with pleading: "Master Valley Master, please make a decision for us. The three of us brothers' Huasheng Fire was taken away, and now our strength has been greatly reduced. If we can't get the Huasheng Fire back, we may never be able to return to our original realm. I'm afraid I will also fall from Dou Zong to Dou Huang."
His words revealed a sense of urgency and helplessness. Obviously, the Fire of Transformation was not only a source of strength for them, but also a symbol of their identity and status. Losing the Fire of Transformation would be a devastating blow to them.
Seeing the appearance of the old demon, Elder Huo, who was watching from the sidelines, lost interest in continuing to watch the show. His expression became serious. He brought Xiao Yan and quickly approached Xiao Ling.
"Xiao Ling, I heard from Great Elder Su Qian that this old demon is from the same generation as the dean. His current strength is at least at the level of Dou Zong six or seven stars. He should not be underestimated. You have to be careful when dealing with him. Although I am an alchemist and not very good at fighting, I will do my best to help you." Elder Huo stood beside Xiao Ling and said in a firm tone.
Elder Huo's words revealed his concern and support for Xiao Ling. He knew that his achievements today were inseparable from Xiao Ling's help. Now, if Xiao Ling needed him to help, he would naturally go all out without hesitation.
Xiao Yan flapped his purple cloud wings and floated behind the crowd. He couldn't help but feel that this little Dou Ling seemed a little out of place among the group of Dou Huang and Dou Zong powerhouses.
He wondered in his heart whether his strength would allow him to be easily blown away in the aftermath of the battle between these big guys. After all, he had just witnessed the brutality of the battle with his own eyes.
Since Xiao Yan had never participated in the battle against the Three Kingdoms Alliance before, this Dou Zong-level duel was his first time. However, when Xiao Yan witnessed the earth-shattering scene caused by these strong men, he couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart.
His desire and yearning for a higher realm became stronger than ever before. He knew that the power displayed by these strong men was exactly the direction of his future efforts.
There was a determined light in Xiao Yan's eyes. He longed for the day when he could stand at such a height and become a strong man who could influence the outcome of a battle.
Facing Elder Huo's concern, Xiao Ling just smiled lightly and responded in a relaxed tone: "Elder Huo, don't worry, I have my own strategy to deal with the old demon. I have my own arrangements to deal with him, and I don't need to do it myself."
Elder Huo was a little confused after hearing what Xiao Ling said, but he nodded and did not continue to ask. He knew Xiao Ling and knew that this young man was always thoughtful and meticulous, always had his own plans and measures in doing things, and would not take risks easily.
Xiao Ling's confidence and composure relieved Elder Huo's worries. He believed that Xiao Ling could properly handle the current situation, and all they had to do was to prepare themselves and be ready to support at any time.
