Qinghe Immortal Clan

It usually takes at least ten years for a human cultivator to retreat and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In the eyes of the "Golden Horned Demon King", Song Qingming had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage, and his cultivation strength was definitely inferior to his own.

Therefore, facing Song Qingming's obstruction, the "Golden Horned Demon King" was a little unhappy because he knew that the other party wanted to delay time, but he did not really take it seriously.

Now there is a large array of demonic fog guarding the "Zhenyang Mountain". Even with Bai Yuxian, a Nascent Soul cultivator, it will be difficult for human cultivators to break through the sacred mountain in a short period of time.

As long as he could defeat Song Qingming here, he could return to "Zhenyang Mountain" to help guard it.

By then, with the help of the "Demon Mist Array", even if the human cultivators are stronger than his own, the "Golden Horned Demon King" will have enough confidence to defend Lingshan.

Looking at the "Golden Horned Demon King" attacking from afar, Song Qingming's eyes, which had originally been somewhat calm, now became very serious.

He just waved his hand quickly to cast a spell, and in an instant he released his innate magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", and then under his control they gathered into a ball to block in front of him.

In the past few years, in addition to practicing in seclusion, Song Qingming's natal magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", has also been successfully upgraded to the fourth lower grade as his cultivation level has improved, becoming a Nascent Soul level natal magic weapon.

At this moment, the golden light emanating from the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him was several times stronger than before.

This was the first time that Song Qingming had actually fought against a cultivator of the same level since he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.

When discussing going south to attack "Zhenyang Mountain", Bai Yuxian originally wanted to come out in person to stop the "Golden Horned Demon King".

But later, because Song Qingming took the initiative to take on this task, Bai Yuxian handed over the important task of stopping the Demon King to Song Qingming.

Since he came here on his own initiative, Song Qingming would definitely not let the other party go easily. Otherwise, if the "Golden Horned Demon King" in front of him was allowed to return to Zhenyang Mountain as he wished, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable.

Just as Song Qingming had made preparations for defense, the attack of the "Golden Horned Demon King" arrived as expected and landed right in front of him.

After a "bang", Song Qingming immediately felt a strong pressure coming from the front of him, causing him to step back several steps before he gradually stabilized his body.

The "Golden Horned Demon King" not far away was also repelled by the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and failed to break through the defense of Song Qingming's natal magic weapon.

However, just a moment later, the figure of the "Golden Horned Demon King" disappeared from the spot, split into three in mid-air, and turned into three phantoms that once again shot out three powerful golden lights at Song Qingming.

Seeing that the opponent's attacks were coming from three different directions, Song Qingming immediately cast a spell to recall the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to the surroundings of his body, and then poured the magic power in his hand into the magic weapon.

As the spiritual light of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" suddenly increased, the three golden lights from the opponent hit it from above, but as expected, they were successfully defended by Song Qingming.

The original body of the "Golden Horned Demon King" is a giant one-horned sea lizard, and the magic weapon he is most proud of is the golden horn on his back.

Back when he was still a Golden Core Demon King, this "natal golden horn" had helped him defeat many opponents of the same level. Few people could withstand such a powerful attack head-on.

In the past, he fought with Bai Yuxian in "Duan Yang Fang". Although his cultivation was not as good as Bai Yuxian's at that time, he could still make the opponent feel a little bit afraid by relying on this "natal golden horn" and fight with him on equal terms.

Seeing that Song Qingming had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage and yet had such a powerful defensive magic weapon on him, the "Golden Horned Demon King" showed a hint of surprise on his face, and the contempt for Song Qingming in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful magic weapon. No wonder you dared to block my way. It seems that I can't avoid a fight with you today!"

"Haha! Then let me learn from you, fellow Taoist!"

Just as he finished speaking, the spiritual light on the body of the "Golden Horned Demon King" suddenly surged, and then his whole body changed, and he turned into a golden one-horned giant lizard nearly a hundred feet tall.

After revealing his true form, the "Golden Horned Demon King" shook his huge head with some discomfort on his face, and then quickly spit out a cloud of purple smoke at Song Qingming.

In addition to his own life-saving magic weapon "Golden Unicorn Horn", this purple smoke is also a powerful magical power that the "Golden Horned Demon King" is proud of.

This "purple smoke" is impregnated with a deadly poison that the Golden Horned Demon King has practiced for many years. Any cultivator who is entangled by the smoke will soon have his or her magic power blocked, and his or her cultivation and supernatural powers will immediately drop by several percent.

Although the smoke itself is not very lethal, in a battle between monks of the same level, once affected by it, it can easily determine the outcome of the entire battle.

As soon as the "purple smoke" released by the Demon King appeared, it immediately grew dozens of times larger with the wind and soon came in front of Song Qingming.

Because of the information provided by Bai Yuxian before, Song Qingming naturally also knew something about the magical power of the "Golden Horned Demon King".

Seeing that he was about to be enveloped by the "purple smoke", Song Qingming immediately cast a spell with both hands and flashed back to avoid the opponent's attack.

Seeing that Song Qingming dodged his attack, the "Golden Horned Demon King" did not show any surprise on his face, but instead revealed a strange smile.

The next moment, with the help of the cover of the purple smoke in front of him, the "Golden Horned Demon King" quickly bypassed Song Qingming's position and escaped directly to a distance, trying to quietly escape from Song Qingming's entanglement.

However, what the "Golden Horned Demon King" did not expect was that he had just escaped less than ten miles away when he felt a powerful aura coming from behind him, causing him to quickly stop.

Just as the "Golden Horned Demon King" turned around, a fierce green sword light quickly arrived not far in front of him.

Seeing that the opponent was coming at him fiercely, the "Golden Horned Demon King" could only quickly condense a golden barrier in front of him, and it took a lot of effort to block the green sword light.

After the "Golden Horned Demon King" stabilized his body, a figure in green suddenly appeared not far away from him. It was Song Qingming who came from afar.

"Fellow Daoist Jinjiao, didn't you just say you wanted to spar with me? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You are looking down on me!

If you still think this way, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Zhenyang Mountain today, and you may not even be able to return safely to Taiyue Lake!"

"Humph! You are so arrogant! How dare you speak so arrogantly? Are you afraid of hitting your teeth when you speak?

Since you insist on blocking my way, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing Song Qingming holding the magic weapon "Green Jade Bottle" in front of him, the "Golden Horned Demon King" was extremely anxious but helpless. He could only turn his attention back to the other party.

However, before the "Golden Horned Demon King" could attack again, Song Qingming had already quickly poured his magic power into the "Green Jade Bottle" in his hand, and soon a powerful green light gathered in front of him again.

“Before, it was always you who took the initiative, this time, it’s my turn!

Fellow Daoist Jinjiao, how about you take my move?"

Seeing Song Qingming's confident look, the "Golden Horned Demon King" showed a bit of disdain on his face, and responded calmly to Song Qingming in the distance:

"Humph! Daoist friend, feel free to use whatever powerful magical powers you have. I am not afraid of your empty threats!"

After saying that, the "Golden Horned Demon King" cast a spell again to condense a golden barrier in front of himself, as if he didn't take Song Qingming's next attack seriously at all.

Previously, Song Qingming used the "Green Jade Bottle" to attack the opponent. Although the "Golden Horned Demon King" also felt a sense of pressure when dealing with this attack.

However, facing this level of attack was not enough to make him worry, so when faced with Song Qingming's provocative words, the "Golden Horned Demon King" did not pay too much attention.

Seeing that the other party was really standing there and did not come to disturb him, Song Qingming suddenly felt happy, and the magic power in his hand was poured into the "Green Jade Bottle" in front of him even more rapidly.

Soon, a powerful green sword light gathered in front of Song Qingming.

It was not until this moment that the "Golden Horned Demon King" felt something was wrong and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Although the green sword light in front of him looked no different from before, the oppressive aura it emanated was more than twice as strong as the green sword light that Song Qingming had released before.

However, although the "Golden Horned Demon King" could see that something was wrong, he had no other choice.

As Song Qingming pushed forward with one hand, the green sword light in front of him immediately locked onto the position of the "Golden Horned Demon King" and rushed straight towards the opponent with a tremendous momentum.

Seeing that the opponent's attack was already right in front of him, the "Golden Horned Demon King" had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it head-on, quickly pushing his magic power into the golden barrier in front of him.

The next moment, the green sword light hit the golden barrier head-on. A loud noise was heard, and an invisible aftermath of the collision between the two immediately spread in the air.

Not long after, a crisp sound was heard, and the golden barrier in front of the "Golden Horned Demon King" shattered directly, and then the huge body of the "Golden Horned Demon King" was directly knocked away by the green sword light.

It was not until he was knocked hundreds of feet away that the "Golden Horned Demon King" stabilized his body and showed a bit of anger towards Song Qingming in front of him.

Although the "Golden Horned Demon King" had taken Song Qingming's powerful attack at this time, an obvious wound on his shoulder was bleeding profusely. It was obvious that the battle just now had caused him a great loss.

If the "Golden Horned Demon King" was not a demon cultivator and his physical defense was not comparable to that of ordinary human cultivators, he would have been severely injured by Song Qingming's attack by now.

Looking at Song Qingming in front of him, who still had a somewhat smug smile on his face, a trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the "Golden Horned Demon King".

Originally in his eyes, Song Qingming was just a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and it was impossible for him to have too many powerful magical powers.

But now, the magic weapons used by the opponent were all very powerful, and he could no longer look down on the opponent.

"Fellow Daoist, you are really good at scheming. It seems that I have underestimated you before. If I remember correctly, your name should be Song Qingming, right?"

Hearing the other party's praise, Song Qingming's face remained calm. He waved his hand at the "Golden Horned Demon King" with a smile and said:

"It is me, fellow Taoist, thank you for your compliment!"

"Fellow Daoist Song, this kind of opportunistic trick can only be used once. Our battle still depends on our own strength."

After the "Golden Horned Demon King" finished speaking, his expression changed and he disappeared again on the spot.

The next moment, five incarnations exactly like the "Golden Horned Demon King" appeared in the air and surrounded Song Qingming on all sides.

As the five "Golden Horned Demon Kings" opened their bloody mouths, the air around them was suddenly filled with "purple smoke".

Seeing that there was "purple smoke" all around him, Song Qingming had no way to avoid it. He could only cast a spell to release a white light shield, which directly protected himself and prevented the purple smoke from penetrating into him.

However, while Song Qingming was trying his best to cast a spell to resist the "purple smoke" outside, the "Golden Horned Demon King" had already started to cast a spell again and gathered a golden sword light from the golden horn on its back.

With an angry roar from the "Golden Horned Demon King", the golden sword light on his back immediately attacked Song Qingming in the "purple smoke".

Seeing the golden sword light coming from outside, Song Qingming hurriedly cast a spell and released the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to block in front of himself and block the opponent's attack.

But before Song Qingming could breathe a sigh of relief, "golden sword lights" flew over from all directions again, forcing him to quickly cast a spell again and inject all his strength into the magic weapon in front of him.

Although these "golden sword lights" were not powerful individually, their continuous attacks still caused Song Qingming, who was trapped in the "purple smoke", to feel considerable pressure.

For a moment, Song Qingming, who had seemed very relaxed in the battle, couldn't help but frown slightly.

The "purple smoke" in front of him restrained his hands and feet, making it difficult for Song Qingming to exert his full strength in this environment, and he suddenly fell into a passive position.

The "Golden Horned Demon King" outside was attacking from all directions at this moment, not giving Song Qingming a chance to breathe and escape from the predicament. It was obvious that he wanted to trap him to death in the formation.

As long as Song Qingming cannot escape for a long time, the "purple smoke" will slowly penetrate into his own protective shield.

At that time, once Song Qingming inhaled the opponent's poison gas and was affected by it, his defeat would be a matter of time.

Just as the "Golden Horned Demon King" said, although Song Qingming had gained some advantages in the previous battle, the opponent in front of him was a Nascent Soul Demon King after all, and this method of taking advantage of the situation would ultimately make it difficult to determine the outcome of the battle.

In order to defeat the opponent, both sides must use their own strength to suppress the other side.

Seeing that the other party had become ruthless, Song Qingming no longer held back. While controlling the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to resist the golden sword light outside, he cast a spell and released six figures directly in front of him.

Under Song Qingming's spell control, six figures quickly surrounded him and changed their shapes to form a magic circle.

With the help of the power of the magic circle beside him, Song Qingming first swung out a ray of spiritual light directly in the direction of the "golden sword light" in front of him, interrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Then, taking advantage of the opponent's attack, Song Qingming once again released a powerful ray of light to the side of his head.

In just a moment, the "purple smoke" in front was forced back by this spiritual light, revealing a huge gap.

Song Qingming then flashed and escaped directly from the "purple smoke".

Seeing the six figures in front of Song Qingming not far away, the "Golden Horned Demon King" was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:

"Hey! Puppetmon, I didn't expect you could actually use puppets to form a magic circle!"

"Haha! It's just a trivial trick."

Song Qingming smiled and shook his head gently, then the spiritual light in front of him moved slightly, and the six puppets, under his control, changed their shapes again and condensed a circular magic circle in front of him.

Next, Song Qingming did not say much to the other party. He directly put away the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" beside him and then took out a red flying sword magic weapon.

When Song Qingming inserted the flying sword in his hand directly into the circular magic circle in front of him, the next moment, the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" suddenly emitted a magical glow and its power increased by more than twice.

"Fellow Daoist, please accept this!"

As a calm voice entered the ears of the "Golden Horned Demon King", the "Lihuo Red Heart Sword" in Song Qingming's hand also rushed towards the opponent with a powerful momentum.

Seeing this, the "Golden Horned Demon King" did not dare to be careless. He poured all his magic power into the "golden horn" on his back, and then flew towards his opponent.

After another close combat, the "Golden Horned Demon King" suddenly felt that Song Qingming, with a serious expression in front of him, was obviously much stronger than before.

With the help of the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" beside him, the cultivation strength displayed by Song Qingming at this time had already far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators who had just formed their Nascent Soul stage, and had almost reached the peak level of the early Nascent Soul stage.

After only a hundred rounds, the "Golden Horned Demon King" could no longer hold on. He was beaten back repeatedly by Song Qingming, who was holding the "Lihuo Red Heart Sword" in front of him.

Even if the "Golden Horned Demon King" used magical powers such as purple smoke, he could only delay the opponent's attack, and still could not prevent the opponent's overall strength from surpassing his own.

After the two sides fought for hundreds of rounds, as a red sword light flashed in Song Qingming's hand, the huge body of the "Golden Horned Demon King" fell directly from the sky, crashing into a huge deep pit in a nearby mountain.

However, although the attack seemed fierce, the thick-skinned and tough "Golden Horned Demon King" was not seriously injured, and soon turned into a ray of light and flew out from the ground.

"Boy, you are so cruel!"

Looking at Song Qingming, who had a powerful aura not far away, the "Golden Horned Demon King" glared at him fiercely, then suddenly turned around and fled away, no longer caring about the "Zhenyang Mountain" in the distance.

Although the "Golden Horned Demon King" was reluctant to leave the army of monsters on the distant mountain, Song Qingming's strength had already exceeded his imagination, so he had no choice but to retreat.

If he continued to fight like this, not only would he be unable to save the army of monsters on "Zhenyang Mountain", but he would probably find it difficult to escape safely as Song Qingming said.

Faced with this choice that would endanger his own life, the "Golden Horned Demon King" naturally did not hesitate too much and turned around and left.

However, the "Golden Horned Demon King" had just started to move, and Song Qingming, knowing that the other party wanted to escape, immediately flashed and chased after him.

At the same time, the "Lihuo Chixin Sword" in his hand has been replaced with the magic weapon "Green Jade Bottle", and he began to gather magic power into the bottle again.

Seeing Song Qingming chasing after him, the "Golden Horned Demon King" was slightly startled. He suddenly turned around and spit out a golden sword light towards Song Qingming who was casting a spell.

Seeing the opponent's attack coming, Song Qingming, who did not want to give up casting the spell, could only stop and rely on the circular magic circle in front of him to block it.

While Song Qingming was defending against his attack, the "Golden Horned Demon King" suddenly cast a spell to speed up his escape and directly distanced himself from the opponent.

But although Song Qingming was blocked, he soon released the third sword light in the "Green Jade Bottle" towards the fleeing figure of the Demon King in the distance.

However, although this sword light finally caught up with the "Golden Horned Demon King", it failed to successfully stop him.

When Song Qingming arrived at the distant battlefield, only a pool of the Demon King's blood and a small piece of bloody tail were left in the air.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming did not look too disappointed. He smiled slightly, retracted the broken tail in the air, and then waved his hand to remove the "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" in front of him.

Although his last attack did barely hit the "Golden Horned Demon King", the distance was too far and Song Qingming could not see clearly what happened here.

Moreover, the opponent is, after all, an enlightened Nascent Soul Demon King. It is impossible for him to have no life-saving magical powers. Normally, he would not die easily under such an attack by himself.

In this battle, for Song Qingming, the main task is to stop the "Golden Horned Demon King" from rescuing the demon army on Zhenyang Mountain.

For him, being able to successfully repel the "Golden Horned Demon King" was already a successful mission, and he didn't need to force anything else.

After sighing slightly, Song Qingming stayed there for a while, confirming that the "Golden Horned Demon King" had indeed left and did not return secretly, then he turned around and turned into a beam of light and left the place.

——

On the top of "Zhenyang Mountain".

Bai Yuxian and many human Jindan monks are struggling to attack the "Demonic Fog Array" on the top of the mountain.

In order to buy time to break through the formation as soon as possible, Bai Yuxian even dispatched several large flying boats hidden in the rear to help his side attack the center of the formation on the mountain.

At this time, on the top of "Zhenyang Mountain", there were seven or eight Jindan Demon Kings guarding there.

Seeing that the human monks' attacks were becoming more and more fierce and their own reinforcements had not arrived yet, they couldn't help but reveal a somewhat ugly look on their faces.

"Brother Huang Sheng, it's been more than half a day, why hasn't the ancestor arrived yet?

If this continues, the formation will collapse sooner or later!

There are so many human cultivators outside, and there are also Nascent Soul cultivators here. If it really comes to that, I’m afraid few of us will be able to escape.”

"Alas! I have already sent a message to the ancestor a long time ago, it's not like you didn't see the ancestor's reply!

Don't be impatient, just wait and see.

"Hey, someone seems to be coming from the east.

It's a Nascent Soul cultivator, could it be the ancestor?" (End of this chapter)
