Chapter 1045 Terror
Li Zhirui used a pure purifying spiritual light to kill the two evil beasts. The moment they lost their breath, they turned into black gas and dissipated.
In the dark, Li Zhirui seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky, but unfortunately he was blocked by the evil spirit and could not land.
‘Is it a merit? ’
Li Zhirui did not dwell on this matter. He collected his mind and began to look for the evil beasts.
I don’t know if he was unlucky or the number of evil beasts was really rare. After exploring the surroundings, he didn’t find any single ones.
Every time Li Zhirui passed by, he would arouse the hostility and vigilance of the cultivators, even though he had no intention of snatching the evil beasts they were dealing with.
In desperation, Li Zhirui could only move deeper into the battlefield. After all, the deeper he went, the thicker the evil spirit was, and the more evil beasts were born.
However, the strength of the evil beasts would also increase, and there was a possibility of encountering demon cultivators.
After all, how could Li Zhirui be willing to kill only two evil beasts when he was lucky enough to encounter this opportunity? Merit is not so easy to get.
Li Zhirui went deeper into the battlefield, and the number of monks he met gradually decreased. Occasionally, he could see a few lone evil beasts.
Seeing this, he was naturally happy, but he did not dare to take risks like before and carefully attracted an evil beast.
The reason why Li Zhirui did this was not only because the strength of the evil beast had increased, but also because he had to be careful. He was more on guard against the monks, and was wary of monks hiding aside and waiting for the cicada.
After all, there were more wolves than meat, and other monks were not like him who would not take action to snatch.
Roar!
The evil beast saw Li Zhirui not far away, and the red-black beast eyes showed cruelty and bloodthirstiness, and the ferocious blood basin mouth dripped turbid saliva, and it rushed towards him without hesitation.
"How dare the beast be so arrogant." Li Zhirui shouted coldly, and a huge tree fell from the sky and directly smashed the evil beast into the ground.
But even so, the evil beast did not die, but just looked a little embarrassed.
And as it breathes, it absorbs a lot of black air, and the injury recovers quickly.
"Hmm?"
Li Zhirui is a little confused. Why didn't the two evil beasts he faced before have such a method?
If they can also absorb the evil energy to heal their wounds, he is afraid that he can't kill them so easily.
"Or... the purification power I mastered caused more serious injuries to their bodies, but the injuries that can't be seen on the surface?"
A cold light flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. If this is the case, then this battle is really a great opportunity for him!
The purification aura can seriously injure the evil beast, which means that he can use less mana and kill it faster.
It's also very simple to verify, just use the purification aura to injure the beast in front of you!
Thinking of this, Li Zhirui did it. A long sword condensed by the purification aura drew a pure white light in the dim sky and earth, and quickly inserted into the evil beast.
Roar!
The fierce beast wailed in pain, and its breath was visibly weakened. Its injuries were far more serious than Li Zhirui's previous attacks.
The most important thing was that it really couldn't absorb the evil spirits that permeated the world and recover from its injuries!
"It works!"
Li Zhirui's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that his idea would really work.
After confirming that the purification law had a great restraint on the fierce beast, he no longer hid his strength. With a full burst, he quickly killed it.
"The restraint of the purification law on the fierce beast must be known by those big forces."
Maybe they have specially trained such cultivators, or directly followed some cultivators, or sealed the purification aura in advance, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of killing the fierce beast.
After Li Zhirui entered the space to restore his mana, he was thinking about this matter. He didn't think that those big forces were fools. After so many years, no cultivator would discover this.
Maybe they jointly blocked the news, just like this fierce beast. If Li Zhirui and other cultivators hadn't been lucky enough to run into it, they wouldn't have had the chance to know that they could still gain merit in this way.
As for the tacit cooperation between the immortals and the demons, the "breeding farm" created by sacrificing the lives of countless creatures, when they benefited from it, at most they would shed a few tears of compassion, and no one would think of destroying it.
If there really was such a saint, the great forces of the immortals and demons would teach him a lesson.
Li Zhirui didn't stay in the space for too long. As soon as his mana was restored, he left immediately.
The number of fierce beasts was limited, so we couldn't fight for every second. We had to kill more and gain more merit.
Fortunately, Li Zhirui was in a relatively inner position, with fewer cultivators and more fierce beasts, so he quickly found the single fierce beast.
But this time, his luck was not so good.
In the process of fighting with the fierce beast, two cultivators in the middle stage of fusion suddenly rushed out from the side.
The two men were similar in stature, wearing common robes and masks on their faces. The only difference was that one mask was black and the other was white.
"Give us this ferocious beast and we'll let you go." The black-masked monk's tone was full of pride, as if he was bestowing supreme honor on Li Zhirui.
Although the white-masked monk didn't speak, his disdainful gaze could be clearly felt, as if he was looking at an ant.
Obviously, these two men didn't take Li Zhirui seriously at all.
"Who gave you the confidence to actually come to trouble me?" Li Zhirui looked at the two of them curiously, and the faint pressure they exuded was nothing to worry about.
Although the cultivation of the two of them was the same as his, they were both in the middle stage of integration, but they seemed to have experienced a big battle before coming here, and they had consumed a lot of mana, and they might still be injured.
And Li Zhirui still has more than 80% of his mana, plus the various treasure pills in his hand, so he is not afraid of these two people at all.
"Who do you think you are? Our senior brothers think highly of you. If you are wise, please leave now, otherwise you will lose your life, which will be bad." Black Mask is still arrogant.
"There are always people who don't know how to live or die."
Li Zhirui didn't waste his words. He had already warned him, but he insisted on dying, so he had no other choice but to help him.
He shook his head helplessly and took action to trap the injured beast. Only after he had dealt with the two monks in front of him could he easily kill it.
"Come on, let me experience the strength of these two fellow Taoists and see what confidence you have. You actually dare to deal with me in a state where the war has just ended." Li Zhirui sneered. He really thought that if the two of them joined forces, they could defeat me. Is this place rampant?
Before they finished speaking, several thunderbolts appeared above the two of them, striking down on them at extremely fast speeds.
"Such a trivial trick is embarrassing!" Black Mask sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a red flame flew into the sky, colliding with the thunder, and erupted with a powerful impact, and the surrounding rich black energy seemed to be washed away a little.
Click!
But before Black Mask could continue to taunt, there was a sudden soft sound in his ears, and he noticed that the two of them were actually trapped in a cage that was not yet fully formed.
But when the two men took action to destroy it, the cage was sealed and the two men were locked inside.
However, the attacks prepared by the two did not disperse, but instead attacked the cage, hoping to break it.
But the spirit vine that looked so fragile actually withstood their attack. Although it suffered some losses, it quickly recovered.
"What kind of spiritual vine is this? It's so tough?" Bai Mask was a little surprised, and for the first time, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He began to wonder if he had offended the wrong person. Since this person dared to walk alone on the battlefield, his strength must not be underestimated, but they actually chose this person.
But in the current situation, they can only advance, not retreat!
Because the opponent will never let them go, they can only win this fight and get a chance to live.
In just one moment, White Mask thought so much and no longer let Black Mask fight alone. Instead, they joined forces with a tacit understanding and launched powerful attacks against Li Zhirui again and again.
Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder the two of them wanted to join forces and go together. It turned out that they had mastered some secret method that could be used to increase their strength.
But this is not enough in front of him!
"Let you see how big the gap is between you and me."
boom!
The aura in Li Zhirui's body suddenly surged. It didn't look like the aura of a fused monk at all, just like a higher-level monk in front of him.
"How can this be?"
The two of them were shocked. The secret method they used was to improve their combat effectiveness. This seemed to be a way to improve Li Zhirui's cultivation, which they had never seen before.
Li Zhirui did not miss the moment when the two were shocked, their thoughts had become scattered, and another silent attack fell.
Snapped!
It actually hit!
Not to mention the injured Bai Mask, even Li Zhirui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she really got the chance.
It was a pity that Li Zhirui's attack broke the defense and landed on him. Although it caused a little damage, it was not too serious.
"Damn it!"
After a round of fighting, they had calmed down and knew clearly that they were probably no match for Li Zhirui. This result made them very uncomfortable, but the facts were in front of them, and they could not change it no matter how unwilling they were.
"If I had known earlier, I should have recovered my mana first, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation." White Mask said with some depression.
Black Mask remained silent and said, "Do you think we can save our own lives by admitting defeat now and handing over all the spiritual objects in our hands?"
The two of them had realized that they had made a huge mistake and handed over all their spiritual objects in order to save their lives.
So, will Li Zhirui let them go?
Looking at the twinkling spiritual objects, he finally nodded in agreement.
Although they were killed and all the spiritual objects belonged to Li Zhirui, after thinking about it, he still gave up.
The reason why he didn't continue to take action was because it was too difficult to kill a combined monk. After all, as soon as the law appeared, things immediately became difficult.
The most important thing was that it was a waste of time. Li Zhirui felt that if he had this time, he might as well kill a few more ferocious beasts.
However, Li Zhirui did not let the two of them off so easily, and asked: "You two must come from a big force, so I need you to tell me all the information about the ferocious beasts and the battlefield of immortals and demons!"
Naturally, Li Zhirui was not willing to miss such a good opportunity to learn about this world.
The two looked at each other, but in the end it was Bai Mask who stood up and told some of the things they knew from the sect.
Li Zhirui guessed some of them based on his own guesses and clues, but most of them were things he didn't know.
For example, in a war, not only will you gain merit by killing ferocious beasts, but you will also gain merit by killing monks and demon cultivators, but not so many.
"Why do killing monks and demon cultivators also bring merit?" Li Zhirui asked curiously.
"Because if you kill a monk or demon cultivator, the spiritual energy will return to the world, and there will naturally be merit." White Mask couldn't explain it clearly.
Li Zhirui shook his head slightly and said: "According to what you said, the number of demon cultivators and monks who have died at my hands over the years has not been ten thousand, but seven thousand. Why haven't I received any merit?"
"This..." Bai Mask was at a loss for words. He also learned the news from Yu Jian and his teachers. How could he explain a problem that he couldn't even figure out?
Li Zhirui shook his head when he saw this. It seemed that these two people did not have a high status in that big force, so naturally they only knew a little bit about it.
"Okay, let's go."
After Li Zhirui completely emptied the two of them, he waved the cage away and told the two to leave quickly.
‘Can you gain merit by killing monks and demon cultivators? ’ Li Zhirui was keenly aware that if the news spread, the battlefield would become even more chaotic.
After all, for the sake of merit, everyone focused their energy on dealing with evil beasts before, but if they knew that monks and demon cultivators had the same effect as evil beasts, then the current atmosphere would change dramatically!
"No! No!"
Li Zhirui seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and was suddenly startled. His expression was extremely ugly, and he said: "The role of the ferocious beast has been spread among all the major forces for so many years."
You know, every time there is a war, there will be many casual cultivators, or cultivators from small forces like him, but why don't they spread the news?
Did the major forces force them to swear an oath not to be spread?
But this method is not safe at all, because most monks cannot avoid the problem of end of life. When they are about to die, are they still afraid of Taoist oaths and inner demons?
There will always be someone who spreads the relevant news.
But the fact is that there is no relevant news at all from the outside world!
"Then, there is only one last possibility left..."
Li Zhirui thought of the news he had just learned and said with an ugly expression: "Before the war ended, these monks were all killed!"
Even if there are powerful casual cultivators or monks with great luck and cultivators from small forces who survive, the Great Wall of Mountains and Rivers is another difficulty to overcome!
