Drunk Immortal Gourd

The Bone-Erosion Venerable hesitated for a long time, but still did not dare to abandon the Venerable Tongyou and the Fire Rock Venerable. Forget it, let's wait a little longer. It's not the end of the road yet. The cost of escaping at this time is too high. That Qingyang kid is obviously not a good guy. He should be able to hold on for a while. It won't be too late to escape when he can't hold on anymore. He has done his best, and others should have nothing to say.

The Bone-Erosion Venerable calmed his mind and continued to drive the dozens of skulls to attack the Soul Venerable. At the same time, he divided some of his attention to observe the battle situation on Qingyang's side, so as not to be unable to respond to emergencies. And because the Soul Venerable drove the ghost to self-destruct, it also had a certain impact on himself. He had no energy to deal with Qingyang and others, so he could only focus all his attention on the Bone-Erosion Venerable.

Let’s not talk about the two of them for now. Qingyang and the flower-faced grandmother were also entangled by the six ghosts and two corpse puppets. It was two against eight. There were four in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit, one of which was half a step away from the realm of refining the void. At the same time, they had to guard against the self-explosion of the ghosts. If they were not able to dodge and were affected by the self-explosion, they would be seriously injured even if they did not die. Therefore, this battle was more difficult. There was no hope of winning in a short time, so the whole battlefield gradually stalemated.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the situation on the field gradually became clear. Although they were two against eight, Qingyang had the upper hand in the battle because of his super strength.

Qingyang was one against four, facing four enemies in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit alone, and he still fought well. Seeing that it was not a solution to drag it on like this, he found an opportunity and killed one of the ghosts in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit. In the case of three against one, the situation on the field began to change slowly.

After that, Qingyang found another opportunity to kill a corpse puppet. The balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted towards him. Qingyang's strength was almost equivalent to that of the third level of the Refining Void. It was extremely easy for him to deal with a half-step Refining Void ghost and a corpse puppet. If he was not worried that the ghost would explode if he pressed too hard, Qingyang would be able to end the battle quickly. Even so, everyone could see that it was only a matter of time for Qingyang to win.

As for the Flower-faced Granny, his opponent was only four ghosts in the middle stage of the Spiritualization. The battle was easier than Qingyang's. In just half an hour, he killed three ghosts. The remaining ghost was forced by the Flower-faced Granny to hide everywhere. The battle would end earlier than Qingyang's.

The situation on the side of the Bone-Erosion Venerable was just the opposite. After all, Soul Venerable was a cultivator of the third level of the Refining Void Realm, one level higher than the Bone-Erosion Venerable. Although he had to distract himself to control the ghosts and corpse puppets, his strength was still much higher than that of the Bone-Erosion Venerable. He tried his best, but could only barely keep himself from being seriously injured, and could not even get a tie. Seeing that there was no news from the Tongyou Venerable and the Huoyan Venerable who entered the hall, his patience ran out, and he began to secretly consider his own way out.

The Bone-Erosion Venerable also saw Qingyang's performance. He was able to kill seven or eight enemies with higher realms than himself in a row. His strength was strong and could be said to be a dragon and phoenix among men. However, it was only a battle between the Divine Transformation cultivators after all. The Bone-Erosion Venerable did not think that Qingyang had the strength to defeat the Soul Venerable of the third level of the Refining Void Realm, and he did not think that he could hold on until Qingyang and the Flower-faced Granny came to help. The only way now was to escape and save his own life first. As for Qingyang and the Flower-faced Granny, who cared about their lives?

Venerable Shigu had a plan to escape and was about to act when the hall in the formation suddenly shook violently, as if something big was going to happen. Could it be that Venerable Tongyou and Venerable Huoyan destroyed the enemy's lair, and the hall was going to be destroyed? If these two could come out, they could easily deal with Venerable Hun in a three-on-one situation. Seeing victory in sight, he certainly couldn't escape at this critical moment, so Venerable Shigu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

The hall shook for several breaths and finally couldn't hold on. There was a loud bang and the whole thing exploded. Even the Qianling Wanjue formation that Venerable Shigu had arranged outside was affected. Dozens of flags were shaken and flew everywhere, and the formation was naturally broken. Fortunately, Qingyang and Huamian Po Po were far away, otherwise they would be affected by the explosion of the hall and would be seriously injured if they didn't die.

The hall exploded, and everything inside was naturally revealed. Dozens of figures appeared in front of everyone. On one side were Venerable Huoyan and a dozen late-stage spirit transformation cultivators. Venerable Tongyou was not seen, and no one knew where he had gone. These people were all injured, even Venerable Huoyan was no exception.

On the other side were Zhuge Qianji, Gongyang Yu and more than 40 corpse puppets. In addition to those that Qingyang and others met in the formation last time, there were some familiar faces, Jin Tianliang, Ming Tianshu, He Wushou, and even many cultivators who had just followed Venerable Huoyan into the hall. At this time, they had become corpse puppets and stood in the enemy's ranks. One of them was Yang Mei.

In just over a month, Zhuge Qianji's cultivation had already broken through the realm of refining emptiness, and Gongyang Yu's cultivation had also been promoted to the eighth level of spirit transformation. In addition to the more than 40 corpse puppets whose cultivation had reached the late stage of spirit transformation, and the formation that could weaken the enemy and strengthen themselves, the two refining emptiness cultivators could definitely not suppress them. It seemed that Venerable Tongyou and Venerable Huoyan did not get any benefits in the formation.

Not seeing Venerable Tongyou, Venerable Shigu had a bad feeling in his heart and asked quickly: "Venerable Huoyan, why did you come out alone? Where is my senior brother Tongyou?"

Hearing this, Venerable Huoyan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said: "Venerable Tongyou is dead."

"How is it possible? My senior brother is at the third level of Lianxu, and the other party is only a Lianxu cultivator who has just broken through through a shortcut. Who can kill him?" Venerable Shigu was full of disbelief.

Venerable Huoyan said with a heavy face: "We were all careless. Zhuge Qianji not only practiced magic, but also had a hidden shadow demon in his body. Venerable Huoyan was not careful for a moment and was possessed by the hidden shadow demon. While he was fighting with the shadow demon for control of his body, Zhuge Qianji caught us off guard and suffered heavy losses for a while. The dead were sacrificed and refined into corpse puppets by Zhuge Qianji. Seeing that our number was decreasing and the enemy was increasing, if we did not break through, we would be wiped out. We were unable to expel the shadow demon, so Venerable Tongyou chose to self-destruct. He risked his life to severely injure the shadow demon and also blew up the enemy's formation. Only then were we able to escape."

Venerable Huoyan was talking about a legendary demon recorded in the classics of the spiritual world. This demon is invisible and intangible, and cannot be detected by divine thoughts, but it really exists. It can attach to the body of a cultivator like a germ and affect the cultivator's mind. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a cultivator to detect it. He only thinks that he has bred a demon in his heart, and is unknowingly affected or killed by the shadow demon, becoming the nutrient for the growth of the shadow demon.
