First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 210: Digging Underground

The demons that Tian Mo Wan Wu thought were of the same kind were naturally not ordinary native demons.

They were the small demon souls summoned by Shen Mo from the Soul Refining Banner!

All of them were at the mid-stage of the Second Order, numbering over fifty.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The sword qi at the bottom of the abyss raged.

One by one, the small demon souls were continuously killed by Tian Mo Wan Wu.

After killing more than half of them, this mutated demon finally realized that something was wrong...

The strange "kind" that it had been cutting down did not decrease in number at all.

It looked around and found that there were constantly more "kind" emerging from a hole at the bottom of the abyss.

For every one it killed, another one would come out.

The walls of the hole were extremely smooth, obviously carved by someone.

Tian Mo Wan Wu's eyes became even more ferocious, and strange syllables came out of his mouth, sounding like a beast's roar and a chant at the same time.

In the next moment, the native demons that surged into the cracks in the ground roared and rushed towards the small demon souls.

The two groups of similar-looking creatures instantly fought, creating a scene that was violent, savage, bloody, and extremely brutal!

At the same time, above the abyss, there were also countless demons being summoned by Tian Mo Wan Wu.

The demonic shadows howled.

Some of them joined the battle, while others directly entered the newly excavated hole.

Inside the tunnel in the cave.

Shen Mo held the Demon-slaying Sword and continuously used sword qi to break the soil and rock walls, creating a passage wide enough for one person to pass through.

Behind him, Zhao Lingyin also held a translucent green jade sword, following closely behind him.

There was also a blood-colored long banner hanging behind Zhao Lingyin.

The blood light blocked the passage.

One after another, demonic shadows walked out of the banner and followed the passage to kill.

Earlier, when Shen Mo was caught up by Tian Mo Wan Wu, he knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to escape back to Tian Shan City.

There was this mutated demon at the peak of the Second Order blocking their way.

If they were delayed even for a moment, they would be surrounded by countless demons, including many mid-stage and late-stage native demons.

It was unrealistic to kill all of them.

Even if he used the Soul Refining Banner, at most, he could only entangle Tian Mo Wan Wu.

After all, the strongest soul generals in the banner, such as the Ghost Bride and the Hong Jue Hermit, were only at the late stage of the Second Order.

As for the mutated demon souls and small demon souls among them, they did have the potential to advance to the peak of the Second Order.

But at the moment, there was no time for temporary promotion!

Therefore, Shen Mo did not use the Soul Refining Banner as a last resort.

Apart from being seen by other disciples of the Immortal Sect and causing trouble for himself, it was useless in the overall situation.

In the subsequent battle with Tian Mo Wan Wu, he pretended to be no match and was beaten into a collapsed crevice.

Only then did Shen Mo summon a large number of soul generals to entangle Tian Mo Wan Wu, while he used the Soul Refining Banner to block the way and continuously dig through the ground.

In this way, even if Tian Mo Wan Wu chased after him with other demon leaders, he only needed to deal with one side of the attack.

Unlike outside, where he had to divide his attention and be wary of demonic shadows from all directions!

However, he had to be careful when digging through the ground.

Otherwise, if he dug into the depths of Tian Shan, things would become troublesome!

"Hmm..."

Shen Mo's expression changed.

Through the feedback from the Soul Refining Banner, he learned that a demon had already entered the passage.

The small demon soul that had just condensed and had not yet emerged from the hole was torn apart.

"Lingyin Junior Sister, you dig the tunnel for me."

"A demon is chasing after us, I need to focus on dealing with them!"

"Keep digging forward... the direction ahead is towards Tianshan City. Once we've dug enough, we can continue going up!"

As they spoke, Shen Mo pressed against Zhao Lingyin's body and squeezed towards the back.

However, in order to prevent a large number of demons from entering, the tunnel was very small, barely enough to accommodate one person passing through face-to-face.

The two had to lean their bodies sideways and slowly move their bodies to exchange positions.

Zhao Lingyin's face quickly turned extremely red!

The blush even spread from her neck to her slender jade fingers, with a hint of pink on her fingertips.

Although she often had physical contact with Shen Mo in the Cui Zhu Pill Refining Room, their relationship had become even closer.

Even just now, she had been held in Shen Mo's arms for a long time...

But the intimacy they were experiencing now was unprecedented.

For a moment, it was inevitable that her heart would be in chaos.

In addition to feeling embarrassed and annoyed, there was also a strange and inexplicable emotion.

Shen Mo faintly smelled the fragrance of spiritual medicine from Zhao Lingyin's body.

Noticing Zhao Lingyin's unusual reaction, his rarely seen old face also turned red, and he awkwardly whispered, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Lingyin..."

Immediately, he silently activated the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique."

After a moment, Shen Mo's figure shrank by one circle, barely squeezing to the back, and then his figure returned to normal.

He hadn't fully mastered this cultivation technique yet!

He could only grow an extra head and two arms, changing the size of his body, but the range couldn't be too large.

Otherwise, he could directly shrink to the size of a baby and easily pass through.

Zhao Lingyin straightened her disheveled robe, glared at Shen Mo with a blushing face, and then activated her emerald green jade sword in her hand to continue digging the stone passage.

Faintly, they could hear the sounds of battles between the demons and soul generals.

Shen Mo suppressed his romantic thoughts and swallowed several second-grade elixirs, focusing on activating the Soul Refining Banner.

This time, what emerged from the banner were not small demon soul generals.

Instead, they were mutated demon soul generals.

Similar to native demons and mutated demons.

Generally speaking, unless a demon was contaminated with trash, mutated demons were usually stronger than native demons!

Naturally, mutated soul generals were also stronger than small demon soul generals.

As for the eighteen second-stage late-stage soul generals like the Ghost Bride, Shen Mo had no intention of summoning them.

Who knows if there were any second-stage late-stage demons among the pursuing demons.

If the Ghost Bride and other soul generals were contaminated by them, Shen Mo couldn't guarantee that he could control them with the Soul Refining Banner!

These eighteen soul generals were better left to his own small demon soul general!

When the small demon soul general devoured enough and advanced to the second-stage late-stage, then he could consider contaminating the Ghost Bride and other soul generals.

This way, it would be more secure!

One by one, the mutated demon soul generals, who retained their strength from their previous lives, stepped out of the blood curtain and rushed outside.

Soon, roars, explosions of immortal techniques, and the sound of rocks collapsing echoed in the narrow stone passage.

With the soul generals and demons fighting each other, large sections of the passage collapsed.

After half an hour, the sounds gradually subsided!

"The tunnel has collapsed. If that demon wants to chase us, it will have to open a passage on its own."

"We should have some peace and quiet for a while!"

As for why he didn't collapse the tunnel from the beginning, there were two reasons.

First, it would cause too much commotion.

He was afraid that it would immediately attract the attention of the demons, and the small demon soul general wouldn't be able to delay them.

Second, it would consume spiritual power.

Since he was going to fight the demons, he could save a lot of effort by using their help.

After another half an hour, the soul generals that Shen Mo left at the collapsed area began to be dispersed and flew back into the Soul Refining Banner.

Obviously, the Ten Thousand Martial Demons had not given up on Zhao Lingyin, the human-shaped spiritual medicine.

This time, it had learned its lesson.

Instead of sending other native demons, it came personally.

Amidst the sound of sword qi explosions, the mutated demon soul generals summoned by Shen Mo died very quickly!
