First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 279: City's Inner Demon Shadow

"Crash!"

Within a radius of several hundred zhang, the toxic swamp surged like a black waterfall, overwhelming Shen Mo.

This evil flood dragon possessed a Divine Ability that allowed it to freely manipulate the poisonous liquid in the swamp!

"Myriad Manifestations Blade Net."

The sword light of the Executioner's Sword flickered, and a majestic sword qi descended.

This sword technique was created by a predecessor who practiced the Myriad Manifestations Sword Scripture after encountering a dangerous place during his travels.

That dangerous place was filled with densely packed small spatial cracks.

Regardless of whether it was a peak third-order demonic beast with a strong physique or an extremely sturdy top-grade spiritual weapon, they would be torn apart by countless cracks.

The toxic swamp controlled by the evil flood dragon primarily relied on the poison to harm its enemies.

Under the Blade Net, it was instantly cut into pieces, falling to the ground like rain.

In the next moment, Shen Mo executed the Kaijiang Sword Technique.

"Boom!"

The evil flood dragon was pressed into the depths of the muddy swamp and couldn't move.

"Splash!"

The Soul Refining Banner appeared in Shen Mo's hand and was then slightly shaken.

The banner fluttered and made a rustling sound, with blood energy surging as it entangled the body of the evil flood dragon.

The evil flood dragon roared and struggled continuously.

However, the outcome was already determined.

After a moment.

Its soul was captured by the banner, leaving behind its remains to become the blood food of the Demon Soul General.

"This evil flood dragon's strong poison and the Divine Ability to control the toxic swamp are quite impressive."

"If I encounter similar terrain in the future while exploring or fighting with others, it could be quite useful."

"For now... I won't let the Little Heaven Demon Soul General be tainted by it."

Soul Generals like Hong Jue, who were under Shen Mo's command, had their potential enhanced by the Little Heaven Demon Soul General.

Sometimes, using ordinary Soul Generals was not as effective.

It was necessary to keep some ordinary Soul Generals as backups.

In addition, this toxic swamp evil flood dragon was already at the peak of the second rank.

Even if it was tainted, Shen Mo wouldn't be able to raise its cultivation level in the short term.

Tainting it wouldn't be of much significance.

Having captured a Soul General of decent quality, Shen Mo was in a good mood and was thinking of finding another demonic beast to test his sword formation.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

In his vision through the Flawless Eye, he saw a cultivator dressed as a wandering cultivator in the western area of Hongye City launching a surprise attack on a fellow cultivator.

If it were just a fight between cultivators, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, in the next moment, the wandering cultivator dragged his companion to an abandoned courtyard and then devoured him.

The Demon Soul Generals under Shen Mo's command, as well as the Heaven Demons on the Tian Mountain Battlefield...

When devouring living beings, they displayed this kind of behavior!

He couldn't be mistaken.

"The city walls are all guarded by the Bone-Viewing Treasure Mirror, but a mutated Heaven Demon managed to sneak in!"

In an instant, Shen Mo's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Then, he summoned the Lightning Flash Sword and used the Lightning Speed Technique to rush towards Hongye City.

At the same time, he didn't forget to use a sound transmission talisman to inform Chen Mengze, Tian Shouren, and others who were stationed in the Garrison.

During these days, more than twenty cultivators had been stationed in the Garrison, including four Qi Gathering Realm wandering cultivators.

With Chen Mengze, who was at the seventh stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, it shouldn't be difficult to kill this mid-stage second rank Heaven Demon.

However, they had to be fast, otherwise, if it advanced to the later stage and continued to recklessly devour the inhabitants of the city, Chen Mengze and the others might not be able to stop it!

Inside Hongye City.

Chen Mengze was originally inspecting the strength of the newly arrived cultivators.

As soon as Shen Mo's message was received, I immediately put aside this matter and gathered the monks of the Garrison Division to rush to the place where the mutated demon appeared.

In the Garrison Division, only a few people including Tian Shuren were left behind.

"Daoist Chen, did Master Shen mention the cultivation level of that demon?" A Qi Gathering stage cultivator, holding a leaf-shaped magical tool, closely followed Chen Mengze and asked.

The remaining three people, including the Qi Gathering stage cultivator who was the first to join the Garrison Division, were a bit slower in speed and were pulled away by some distance.

As for the Body Tempering stage cultivators, they could only rely on light body techniques, talismans, and their own legs to run wildly in the city.

They didn't need them to fight against the second-stage mutated demon.

Instead, they relied on these Body Tempering stage cultivators to evacuate the ordinary people around them, so as to prevent them from being affected by the aftermath of the battle or becoming food for the demon.

"It should be at the mid-stage of the second stage, but it has swallowed a Qi Gathering stage cultivator."

"It's possible that it secretly devoured several people before advancing to the late stage of the second stage!"

"You four, guard the surroundings later, don't let it escape."

"I will take action to kill it!"

The Qi Gathering stage cultivator, who was stepping on the leaf-shaped magical tool, felt relieved and stopped speaking.

When Chen Mengze and the others arrived, the mutated demon seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and flew towards the prosperous area of the city with a flying sword.

Obviously, its whereabouts had been discovered.

It no longer concealed itself, but wanted to devour and advance to the peak of the second stage or even the third stage.

"It has indeed advanced to the late stage of the second stage."

Chen Mengze's face turned cold, and she threw out a finger-sized fairy hammer.

"Die, demon!"

The fairy hammer was inconspicuous in shape and left a slender afterimage in the air.

In the next moment, it "boom" and smashed onto the mutated demon.

Sending it crashing into a mansion!

This should be the residence of a certain cultivation family.

Just as the house was destroyed, a Qi Gathering stage cultivator at the fourth level rushed out with a magical tool.

At the same time.

Several Body Tempering stage cultivators also protected their families and gathered around the Qi Gathering stage cultivator of the family.

"Fellow Daoist Chi, run! This is a demon-infected cultivator."

The Qi Gathering stage cultivator behind Chen Mengze seemed to know this cultivator from a small family and shouted urgently.

Demon-infected cultivator, demon-infected monster, demon-infected soul... all refer to the mutated demon.

Qi Gathering stage cultivator Chi's face changed drastically.

He hurriedly urged the family members who had gathered to escape from the mansion.

But it was a bit too late. The mutated demon, whose leg bones were shattered by the fairy hammer, released its demonic aura without reservation.

In the blink of an eye, it swept away six members of the Chi family, including two Body Tempering stage cultivators.

Then, from the ruins came the sound of chewing and swallowing flesh!

The patriarch of the Chi family's eyes turned red, holding a flying sword, and was about to rush towards the demon in the ruins to fight it to the death.

As a result, he was stopped by Chen Mengze and the others who had arrived!

"This demon is at the late stage of the second stage, you are not its match."

A trace of guilt appeared on Chen Mengze's face, but it was quickly replaced by a cold expression.

If this mutated demon was allowed to roam and devour, it wouldn't take long before not six people would die.

It would be sixty, six hundred, or even six thousand people!

The Chi family happened to be in the path of the demon's escape, which was just bad luck for them.

"Fellow Daoist Chi, you protect your family and leave. If you have the ability, please help evacuate the people around the city."

"Don't let them become food for the demon!"

"Otherwise, if it advances to the peak of the second stage, I'm afraid we won't be its match."

Although the patriarch of the Chi family was grieving, he also understood the importance of the situation.

After protecting his family, he and the Body Tempering stage cultivators from the Garrison Division began to evacuate the surrounding people.

Inside the Chi family's mansion.

Four Qi Gathering stage cultivators from the Garrison Division held magical tools and talismans, guarding each side.

As for Chen Mengze, she summoned a square silk handkerchief to protect her body, held a sword, and killed the mutated demon.
