Chapter 277 Dao Heart Broken? [Two in One]

At dawn the next day, the two groups gathered together and went up the mountain.

This time the way up the mountain was much simpler. Liang Yue, Wu Handing and Shang Yunhai, the three top front row, and Wen Yifan, Qi Yingwu and Chen Xuan, the three top Qi Refiners, pushed their way all the way to the cave on the top of the mountain. There was not even a monster that could slightly stop them.

It was still early, and they had already entered the cave.

This time they entered the cave to the west. In the cave, there was a fisherman-like man wearing a straw raincoat and holding a fishing rod. He sat on a big rock in the cave with his fishing rod hanging down. He kept muttering to himself: "I can only go home after catching some fish..."

"You can't go home without catching any fish..."

“You can only go home if you catch fish…”

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, I really don't know how strong his obsession is. According to the villagers, the four demon generals have been guarding here with the demon king for hundreds of years, so hasn't he been fishing here for hundreds of years?

It’s a bit pitiful when you think about it.

It was so pitiful that Liang Yue didn't even have the heart to go up and remind him...Brother, it's impossible for you to catch a fish.

Because you are on land!

When he saw a group of young adventurers entering, he suddenly turned around and showed a ferocious smile, "The fish are coming."

These demon generals were obviously ordinary villagers originally. Their brains were infected by a large amount of demonic energy, so although they are very powerful now, they have lost their self-awareness.

Wen Yifan and his group had already fought the demon general in front of them once yesterday, so they were naturally familiar with dealing with it again. They skillfully separated into two corners, and Wu Handing and Shang Yunhai pounced on him from two directions respectively.

The fisherman suddenly stood up and swung his fishing rod. Hundreds of black silk threads came out, each with a very sharp tip, and pierced towards the two men.

Wen Yifan made a move at the right time, raising countless sword beams, whistling towards the fisherman, forcing him to bring all the silk threads forward to resist her sword beams. This left the fisherman with nothing on both sides, and Wu Handing and Shang Yunhai were able to get close in an instant.

Wu Handing's sword moves were ferocious, and Shang Yunhai turned into a tiger and was equally brave. The two of them attacked the fisherman's ribs from the left and right with all their might.

Bang bang!

A large amount of black energy was released after two hits. This black evil energy was as sticky as water and spread in all directions. Anyone who was contaminated by it would still have evil spirits entering their brains and suffer mental attacks.

The two who rushed forward were naturally the most affected. Wen Yifan, who was attacking from behind, was temporarily not exposed to the demonic energy. After the demon general was hit by the two, his magical powers also stagnated. Wen Yifan took the opportunity to sacrifice more sword beams and shot them towards his chest.

Chi chi chi chi chi——

Countless sword beams pierced through his chest, raising a black gas in the sky like surging waves. Shang Yunhai and Wu Handing quickly retreated and returned to the crowd.

The whole operation was smooth and flowing, showing the combat awareness of a top-level genius. He had found the most efficient way to deal with the demon general in just one try. During the whole process, Liang Yue and his group did not need to take any action.

But soon, the demon general whose chest was pierced by countless sword beams began to emit black light all over his body and exploded with a loud bang!

Boom——

After a loud bang, the demon's body changed, it was covered with scales and pitch black, and it turned into a pure monster!

Okay.

This guy couldn't catch any fish, so he turned himself into a fish.

Liang Yue silently complained in his heart, and at the same time urged them to leave their names. It was time for them to take action!

……

The demonic energy around was like a sea, and the demon general transformed into a fish, swimming in it with scales on his body, and suddenly came to Wu Handing who was in the front.

"Ahhh——" He let out a strange roar, and his arms with sharp long fins slashed across fiercely.

Although he was prepared, he was still a little slow to block because the speed was too fast, and his right arm was severely cut.

But Wu Handing had a strong will. After being injured, the first thing he did was not to retreat. Instead, he shouted, gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and stabbed the sword into the chest of the demon general.

But with a clang sound, the sword tip with the strong energy was still blocked and could not break through the defense.

The problem with the fisherman demon general they were facing after his transformation was that his scales were too hard, and the only thing that could break through his defense was Wen Yifan's sword energy. But he was very fast, and the other two warriors could not provide her with effective control, and her sword energy could not land on the demon general very accurately.

That's why they retreated temporarily last time.

But this time it was different. Wu Handing only resisted for a moment, and then a circle of golden light rose from under his feet and temporarily trapped the demon general.

Nature is the magical power to confine all things.

The demon general seemed to realize that something was wrong and summoned boundless demonic energy to surround him, trying to break through the universe by force. However, the Buddha's body that Chen Xuan had saved instantly rose up and pressed a palm on the circle, shaking off his demonic energy and dispersing it.

At the same time, Wen Yifan's countless sword beams passed through the light circle, breaking through the air back and forth, first making a clanging sound on the demon general's body, and then black scales flew around, and then demon blood splashed out.

"Ah--" the demon general screamed, leaped forward, broke through the magical power that imprisoned him, and fled at high speed.

But just as the demon general who had turned into a black shadow stood firm, another afterimage chased after him.

Liang Yue’s ascension to heaven!

laugh--

The sword pierced through the wound that was cut by Wen Yifan. The surging sword energy gushed out, piercing him completely, and demonic blood spurted out!

But even the devil's blood spurting out in front of him could not shake Liang Yue in the slightest. No matter how the devil's nature impacted him, the wall of his divine palace was as solid as Mount Tai.

"Ah!" The demon general roared and wailed. The opponent's soul was as solid as a rock. He opened his hands and was about to physically destroy Liang Yue in front of him, but before his hands fell, a bright sword light followed.

call out--

The sword light was like a dragon, and the ancient sword Qingqiu instantly pierced through the demon general's face!
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. The demon general, with two swords stabbed in his chest and face, stiffened for a moment, then staggered back and crashed into a large rock in the cave with a bang.

"I..." At the last moment, he seemed to regain some consciousness and muttered to himself, "I haven't caught any fish yet..."

I'm still thinking about this at this time.

The woodcutter at least thinks about his wife and children. You really have a mental disorder.

Liang Yue muttered inwardly as he drew out his long sword, swiped away the demonic blood on it, turned around and said with a smile: "It turns out that cooperation is much easier."

"It mainly depends on Junior Sister Wen. We are just assisting from the side." Shang Yunhai said.

"Everyone's contribution is important." Wen Yifan said immediately.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that her sword energy's ability to break through defenses is naturally the most important. However, only if she is paired with a Qi-refining practitioner like Qi Yingwu who has control powers, and a warrior like Liang Yue who is extremely fast and can fight with opponents, can she maximize the power of her sword-controlling skills.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the strongest combination of the Yin State team in the battle to capture the city.

"While it is still early, let's hurry forward."

After chatting for a while, everyone looked towards another cave entrance deep in the cave. Getting rid of the demon general so quickly and efficiently also gave them some confidence.

After all, the power of the demon king behind the scenes must be far greater than that of the demon general. If too much energy is spent on dealing with the demon general, then it would be a bit wishful thinking to challenge the demon king.

Seeing a dark hole ahead, it must be the thieves' lair.

Everyone set off together. Wu Handing retreated temporarily because he was injured. Liang Yue and Shang Yunhai went ahead to explore the way and moved forward along the dark cave.

……

After walking about a few hundred steps, I saw a ball of light in front of me. I walked over carefully and saw a peaceful and harmonious scene.

At the exit of the cave was a bright room, surrounded by carved wooden beams, red candlesticks, and bookshelves filled with various books. Behind the desk sat a young scholar, who looked pale and not in good health.

Seeing everyone coming in, he suddenly raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It is a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. I wonder what brings you to my humble home?"

Although he looked kind, there were obviously no other living creatures here. The demon king suppressed on Yuanshan Mountain seemed to be this young scholar.

"I want to ask for something." Shang Yunhai replied, "I heard that there is a demon-suppressing weapon in this mountain, but is it here?" "Demon-suppressing weapon?" When the scholar heard this, he suddenly frowned, as if in some pain, "You want a demon-suppressing weapon? That thing... what do you want to do? Ah..."

It looks like we have gone through the formalities and it's time to start taking action.

Liang Yue stepped forward immediately to prevent any unexpected situations.

But the scholar did not rush over, but raised his head suddenly and shouted: "Die——"

He only shouted once, but the sound echoed repeatedly among several caves. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a chaotic, buzzing demonic sound that poured into everyone's ears from all directions.

In an instant, the world was spinning.

Even Wen Yifan's supreme immortal body was still shaken and dizzy by this spiritual shock.

Although Liang Yue's divine palace barrier was strong, he could still feel the strong impact, which caused him to have headaches and the divine fire in his mind was digested faster. Although he didn't feel dizzy, he was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a breeze behind his head. He quickly rolled forward and turned around. It was Shang Yunhai with bloodshot eyes who was punching him!
"Senior Brother Shang!" Liang Yue shouted, realizing that this evil sound had the power to confuse people.

Not only Shang Yunhai, but Wu Handing and Qi Yingwu were also hit. Their eyes emitted red light and they launched attacks on people around them without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Wen Yifan has a supreme immortal body and is in better condition than them, but he also exudes a strong murderous aura, and the flying sword seems to want to kill him.

Chen Xuanjiu sat cross-legged in meditation to fight against the evil sound that entered his brain.

The three people who were hit pounced on them fiercely, and Liang Yue could only dodge. Just when they were in a panic, the scholar suddenly moved.

He suddenly stood up, a pair of black wings popped out from behind him, and he flapped them gently. In an instant, he was next to Wen Yifan and struck out with a palm.

Wen Yifan's reaction was extremely fast. His flying sword instantly formed into a sword shield, blocking the close-range palm strike.

But the scholar seemed to have the power to move mountains and seas. He blew up the sword and shield, and knocked her flying backwards, and she fell into the cave she came from.

"Hold him for a while, I will wake everyone up!" Chen Xuanjiu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and said to Liang Yue.

I?
Liang Yue hesitated for a brief moment. Senior Sister Wen was knocked away in one blow. Should I hold him off?

But the situation was critical, and he couldn't say no. At this time, he could only hold on. So Liang Yue flew up, and turned into nine people in mid-air, and a Qinglong sword song was launched instantly!
This was his most powerful move at the moment, but using it once would use up all his cultivation, so he rarely used it. Now that it had come to this point, he could no longer care about it.

Nine Liang Yue figures simultaneously used the Ascend to the Sky Technique and began slashing at the scholar with swords. However, before any sword could hit him, the scholar suddenly raised his hands high and released a strong wave of demonic energy!

boom--

Liang Yue was directly bounced out, and nine of them flew out together, and eight of them scattered in the air.

When I landed, I found Senior Sister Wen was right next to me.

She had just been knocked away, and after a little breath adjustment, she had just sat up. The two looked at each other, and both felt a sense of powerlessness.

This demon king is too powerful.

Even though Senior Sister Wen, who is at the Sixth Realm, might be able to fight against a strong man at the Seventh Realm, she had no chance to fight back against him.

This strength has definitely reached the Grandmaster level!

The gap between the Grandmaster Realm and the Master Realm cannot be easily bridged by numbers.

Fortunately, he managed to block it, so Chen Xuan had a chance to use his magical power. He formed seals with his hands, spoke eloquently, and shouted, "Wake up!"

In an instant, golden light burst forth and Buddhist sounds filled the ears, temporarily suppressing the surrounding demonic sounds.

The three people who were hit woke up one after another. After a moment of confusion, they immediately understood the situation.

Then, Wen Yifan shouted from the entrance: "Retreat first!"

Hearing her words, everyone turned around and left without hesitation.

If someone else yells, "Go!", everyone might hesitate, because if one person can't win, that doesn't mean everyone can't win. But if Wen Yifan yells, "Go!", everyone will definitely not hesitate, because if she can't win, that means she definitely can't win.

"Want to escape?"

When the scholar saw that everyone turned around and left, he became ablaze with energy, flapped his wings, and immediately caught up with them!

"Anyone who wants to take away the Demon-Suppressing Soldier will die!" His roar sounded like madness.

Qi Yingwu turned around and set up an invisible barrier to seal the cave entrance and cover everyone's retreat.

The scholar hit the wall and crashed into the barrier at first, but with the second hit he broke the barrier with a casual stroke of his hand and continued to chase after him.

Judging from the situation, they really are going to fight to the death!
Boom boom boom boom——

There were explosions all along the way, and everyone tried their best and finally escaped from the cave with difficulty.

The moment he rushed out of the cave, the scholar behind him also stopped. He seemed unable to leave the cave. This should be the effect of the suppression of the demon soldiers. If he really left here, even in Qingyang Cave Heaven, it might not be so easy to deal with.

This also saved everyone's lives.

At this time, all the young geniuses were injured. The seriously injured, such as Wu Handing, simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up. There was a big dent on his chest, which was the result of the scholar's backhand palm.

Their growth process, although not without failure, can at least be described as smooth. Now that they are being chased and beaten like dogs, they are all somewhat silent.

Can this trial really be completed?

This doubt began to hang over everyone's mind like a shadow.

……

"That's right, that's it. Doubting myself, challenging myself again and again, and then my faith is broken!"

Taoist Feng, who was outside the Demon Valley, glimpsed the appearance of everyone through a magic mirror in front of him, and an excited smile appeared on his face.

"This demon is so powerful that they can't deal with him at all. Even if nine people work together, they may not be able to challenge him." Xu Zhan'ao asked: "Is this kind of trial really meaningful?"

"Of course there are." Taoist Feng grinned, "These people are all geniuses who were raised by others. If their arrogance cannot be reduced, how can they obey orders in a team? The battle between one person and a team is completely different. Making them realize the weakness of their own strength is an inevitable hurdle."

"That's right." Master Yun nodded and said, "We did cooperate at the beginning, but in our hearts we all thought we were the best and no one would give in to the other. It was only after going through similar trials that we realized the importance of unity and cooperation. At the beginning, we were beaten even worse than them."

"Hehe, they are just a little lucky. There are more sober people." Taoist Feng continued: "If they challenge again, it will only be worse each time! We must let them experience the shattering of our Daoist hearts back then!"

After they said this, Xu Zhan'ao understood why Feng Daoren was so excited.

It turned out that he had been caught in the rain, so he tore up other people's umbrellas.

……

"What should we do? Should we call another group of people?"

After a long time, Qi Yingwu broke the silence and said with a frown.

"It seems to be meaningless. Even if there are three more people, it will be easier for him to control us." Shang Yunhai said.

Then there was another moment of silence.

After experiencing the recent crushing defeat, these talented young men were forced to continue the challenge, which really made them feel heavy-hearted.

No wonder Master Feng exaggerated like that before. It is really too difficult to defeat such a demon.

After an unknown amount of time, when the atmosphere became extremely depressing, Liang Yue suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, I have a plan!"

　Good morning.
