Seeking Immortality

"You two are mine."

As Na Xiu's mocking voice sounded in Xuan Xiu and Bao Wei's ears, a vast black mist rushed towards the two of them. In desperation, Bao Wei and Na Xiu had to turn around to deal with Na Xiu's attack first. Under the attack of the black aura that could devour people, they had no time to care about anything else for a while.

At this time, the twelve demonized cultivators had already flown to the altar and quickly attacked Xu Qingfan, Lu Ziqing, and Shang Nianyao. After flying close, the twelve people began to perform Taoism together. For a while, flames, floods, golden light, and boulders, representing the five-color light of the five elements of Taoism, flashed continuously, and various powerful Taoist arts began to appear on the altar one after another, covering the sky and the earth, with amazing power.

Facing the joint attack of the twelve people, Xu Qingfan and the other three were busy using their strongest defense, but they were still in a mess under the attack of the twelve demonized cultivators.

These twelve immortal cultivators have now lost their minds under the control of the magic beads. They should be called the twelve demon generals.

Xu Qingfan first controlled the "Three-foot Qingling" to transform into a green cloud surrounding him, and then transformed into countless iron cattail leaves to block himself. At the same time, he exerted his speed to the extreme, dodging, or using "Three-foot Qingling" and "Iron Cattail Leaves" to resist. After consuming a lot of spiritual energy, he finally avoided the first wave of attacks from the twelve demon generals. But under the dense and powerful Taoism of the twelve demon generals, the "Three-foot Qingling" also became a little dim because of resisting so many Taoism, and Xu Qingfan was also shocked in this wave of attacks, his internal organs surged, and he suffered serious internal injuries.

Lv Ziqing, who practiced wind Taoism, was not inferior to Xu Qingfan in speed. The defense of a tortoise shell-shaped magic weapon was also very strong. Like Xu Qingfan, he kept moving around to avoid the attacks of the twelve demon generals. Because his tortoise-shell-shaped magic weapon is a magic weapon specifically responsible for defense, and its defense power is three points stronger than Xu Qingfan's "Three-foot Qingling", so his situation is better than Xu Qingfan's, but facing the attack of the twelve demon generals, he is still uncomfortable with the shock of his chest and abdomen.

But compared with Xu Qingfan and Lu Ziqing, Shang Nianyao's situation is undoubtedly the most dangerous, because he practices the most defensive earth-based Taoism, so the elders in the sect only gave him two offensive magic weapons to supplement his lack of attack power. It's just that when resisting the impact of the demon soldiers and the mutated low-level monsters just now, he has consumed most of his spiritual energy. Now he wants to use some powerful earth-based Taoism but he is not strong enough, and his speed is not as fast as Xu Qingfan and Lu Ziqing, so he just tried his best to use a "stone wall technique" to create a stone wall in front of him. Unfortunately, this stone wall was shattered in a short moment under the joint attack of the twelve demon generals. If Xu Qingfan hadn't been quick to pull him aside, he would have died in this wave of attacks. But even with Xu Qingfan and Lu Ziqing protecting him, Shang Nianyao was still vomiting blood under the residual power of the Taoism performed by the twelve demons. Obviously, he could no longer withstand the next wave of attacks.

Although this wave of attacks only lasted for a short moment, Xu Qingfan and others felt that this moment was as long as a year. Finally, the five-colored light dissipated, and the first wave of attacks by the twelve demons finally ended. But things were far from over. The twelve demons floating quietly on the altar saw Xu Qingfan and others blocking their first wave of attacks. They did not show any surprise, but continued to pinch their fingers with a wooden look, and their bodies were glowing with more powerful spiritual fluctuations than before. Obviously, the next wave of attacks would be more fierce.

Seeing this situation, Xu Qingfan and the other two couldn't help but show despair on their faces, knowing that if the twelve demons were allowed to perform the second wave of Taoism, they would no longer be able to stop them.

Originally, although there were twelve demonized cultivators, Xu Qingfan and the other three would not be able to only block one wave of their attacks. But firstly, Shang Nianyao, who had the highest skill and the strongest defense among the three, had already lost a lot of spiritual energy when he blocked the demon soldiers and mutant monsters before, and now he still needed Xu Qingfan and the other two to take care of him, so the strength of the three was greatly reduced.

Secondly, the strength of these twelve demons was far beyond the expectations of Xu Qingfan and the others. Five of the twelve demons were originally disciples of the Qingxu Sect. Lv Ziqing and Shang Nianyao were very familiar with them. In their impressions, these five disciples originally only had the cultivation of the middle to late stage of the Bigu, but now looking at the power of the Taoism they used, the strength of these five people has at least reached the early stage of the Spiritual Silence. The original strength of the three cultivators in the Kuxiu Valley had already reached the late stage of the Spiritual Silence, and their current strength is even more terrifying. Even compared with the cultivators in the Void Pill Stage, they are only slightly inferior by three points.

Obviously, the increase in the strength of these twelve immortal cultivators after demonization is far greater than those barbarians and low-level monsters. Xuan Xiu previously judged that this magic bead was the one among the "Nine Magic Beads" that was specifically used to demonize immortal cultivators, and it turned out to be true! !

However, although these twelve people have greatly increased their skills now, Xu Qingfan and others are far from being opponents, and their numbers are even weaker, but these twelve people have lost their minds while their strength has greatly increased. They don't even know the basic common sense of the five elements in the world of immortal cultivation, which is the mutual restraint of the five elements. They just mechanically continue to perform their own attack methods. For example, there were two demon generals just now, one was performing the fire method "Fire Sea Waves" and the other was performing the water method "Flood Decision". The five elements counteracted each other and the power was greatly reduced. Otherwise, with the current strength of Xu Qingfan and others, facing the overwhelming powerful methods, they might not even be able to survive the first wave of attacks.

But even so, it is unlikely that Xu Qingfan and others can survive the next wave of attacks from the twelve demon generals. After all, the gap in strength is obvious.

Compared with the danger of Xu Qingfan and others, Xuan Xiu and Bao Wei's battle with Na Xiu will not be in danger of death at any time, but the situation is more difficult. Na Xiu's strength is originally above the two, and Xuan Xiu has consumed nearly half of his spiritual energy in order to resist the demon soldiers and entangle Na Xiu. The confrontation between Bao Wei and the magic beads just now has caused him to suffer serious mental damage, so facing Na Xiu's powerful offensive and the strange and dangerous black fog, they all seem a little embarrassed.

Whether it is Bao Wei's fire method or Xuan Xiu's thunder method, both contain the masculine energy between heaven and earth, but when facing Na Xiu's endless black fog attack, the effect is not very obvious. So although Xuan Xiu and Bao Wei saw that the situation on Xu Qingfan and others' side was extremely dangerous, they were entangled by Na Xiu and could not get away, and they couldn't help but be very anxious. After Na Xiu held the magic bead, the black magic energy in his body seemed endless, and the entire battlefield was filled with magic energy.

"This can't go on."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Qingfan thought secretly, and then shouted to Lv Ziqing: "Brother Lv, try your best to delay time and give me enough time to perform the Taoism."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Lv Ziqing knew that he could only trust him now. So without hesitation, he waved the magic weapon "Wind Fan" in his hand, and successively transformed into twelve tornadoes formed by wind blades, and quickly rushed towards the twelve demons floating around the altar. Although the twelve demons had lost their minds, they still had the basic instinct to dodge the tornado formed by wind blades, but the twelve tornadoes under Lv Ziqing's control followed them closely.

Under the continuous dodge, the time for the twelve demons to perform the Taoism was greatly extended. Just looking at Lv Ziqing's pale face and the sweat dripping from his face, Xu Qingfan knew that his attack consumed a lot of spiritual energy and he obviously couldn't last long. So Xu didn't hesitate any longer, and his ten fingers quickly changed one after another, turning into finger shadows that made it impossible for people to see the finger gestures that Xu Qingfan performed.

Then, hundreds of "six-diamond flowers" emerged from Xu Qingfan's ten fingers, and after falling to the distance, they began to collide with each other, and explosions continued to sound. Thick white mist began to fill the surroundings of Xu Qingfan and others, blocking the vision of the twelve demon generals on the periphery. But after doing all this, Xu Qingfan did not stop, and his ten fingers continued to change. After a long time, he finally stopped. But what was strange was that although Xu Qingfan seemed to have finished performing the Taoism, and looking at Xu Qingfan's pale face, it was obvious that the Taoism just now consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, but the scene on the field did not change at all, which was very different from the previous scene of flowers and plants flying everywhere after Xu Qingfan performed the Taoism.

At this moment, Lv Ziqing was finally unable to support the magic he had cast. Seeing that Xu Qingfan had finished casting the magic, he gave up the control of the twelve tornadoes and fell to the ground with a pale face. Moreover, although the mist created by Xu Qingfan with the "Six-Spike Flower" blocked the figures of the three of them, it also prevented the three from seeing the traces of the twelve demons outside. In this way, even if Lv Ziqing continued to control the twelve tornadoes, he could no longer threaten the twelve demons.

After falling to the ground, Lv Ziqing saw that the situation on the field did not change after Xu Qingfan finished casting the magic, and he looked at Xu Qingfan strangely.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Lv Ziqing and Shang Nianyao, Xu Qingfan just shook his head slightly, indicating that the two should wait and see.

Outside the mist, the twelve demons could not help but become puzzled after seeing the diffuse mist in front of them. The order they received was to eliminate Xu Qingfan and the other three, but the fog in front of them obscured the figures of Xu Qingfan and the others, making it impossible for them to attack. Moreover, they had lost their minds after being controlled by the magic beads, and they did not know how to adapt. They did not even think about eliminating the fog first and then attacking Xu Qingfan and the other three. Finally, at a loss, the twelve people decided to return to the position they had just been in and wait for the fog to dissipate by itself, and then kill Xu Qingfan and the other three according to Na Xiu's order.

But just after the twelve people returned to the position they had just stayed, something strange happened! ! The ground under the feet of the twelve people suddenly cracked, and twelve huge flowers suddenly appeared from the ground, rushing towards the twelve demons in mid-air. The color of these twelve abnormally huge flowers was as bright red as blood. When they rushed into the air, the petals bloomed, but people were shocked to find that the inside of the petals was actually densely packed with fine teeth! !

These twelve terrifying flowers were the biggest gain of Xu Qingfan after coming to the Southern Wilderness this time. They were the strange flowers and plants in the Southern Wilderness that made people shudder at the mention of them - the man-eating plant!

The twelve demons did not expect that there would be danger under their feet, and the twelve carnivorous plants rushed very fast, so the twelve demons had no time to react and were swallowed by the twelve carnivorous plants. As the petals closed quickly, a creepy chewing sound was heard one after another, and there was even a faint trace of blood flowing between the petals of several carnivorous plants.

After a long time, explosions sounded one after another, and several carnivorous plants suddenly burst from the inside. Five figures flashed out from the broken bodies of the carnivorous plants, but their figures were more or less scarred, and the other seven people never appeared again.

In the fog, through the mental connection with the carnivorous plants, Xu Qingfan already knew the situation outside, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.

Did he finally kill someone?

Although Xu Qingfan had killed countless mutant beasts before, and although those people were just puppets who had lost their minds, they were still living human lives after all. How could they disappear in his hands like this?

He killed them in order to survive.

Is it fair?

Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel panic and guilt in his heart. After all, this was his first time killing someone.

But Xu Qingfan kept comforting himself in his heart. These people were just puppets. They were actually dead when their minds were gone. Now they were actually no different from the mutant beasts he had killed before. He just killed some zombies. And if he didn't kill them, not only would he die, but they would also harm more innocent people in the future.

With such self-consolation, plus the fact that Xu Qingfan didn't see the scene when the seven people died, his mood calmed down a lot for a while.

Seeing Xu Qingfan sigh, Lv Ziqing hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong?"

Hearing Lv Ziqing's question, Xu Qingfan first sorted out his emotions, and then slowly said: "I just killed seven of the twelve demon generals outside. Now there are five left, but they are also the five strongest ones."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Lv Ziqing and Shang Nianyao were shocked. They had just seen with their own eyes how strong the twelve demon generals were. Now Xu Qingfan had killed seven of them in one breath? Although both of them knew that Xu Qingfan had extraordinary skills and mysterious Taoism, they did not expect Xu Qingfan to be so strong. They could not help but look up to Xu Qingfan by three points.

Suddenly, Lv Ziqing remembered something, and his pale face became even paler. He asked in a trembling voice: "What about Junior Brother Zhang...?"

"Sorry." Xu Qingfan said slowly after a moment of silence.
