Chapter 122: Seizing the Demon Pill
Nine Daoist sects surround most of the human world, forcing the most powerful demons to retreat thousands of miles. The long borders between the Daoist sects are defended by the Shengfu Dynasty and the twelve vassal states. As a result, humans have been able to occupy the most fertile land on the entire continent and live and reproduce peacefully for more than 100,000 years.
However, the demon race has not disappeared, and is still a very large population: some non-demons that have completely lost their animal form live together with humans; some half-demons and beast demons with slightly higher intelligence and who can accept etiquette have established the Sheshen Kingdom in the northwest of the continent, paying tribute to the Shengfu Dynasty and exchanging what they have; there are also a large number of scattered demons distributed in the northeastern demon land. They are either newly transformed, cruel and greedy, and are not accepted by the Sheshen Kingdom, or they are self-reliant on their long bloodline and disdain to pay tribute to humans, preferring to hide in bitter and cold lands.
Every few hundred years, there are always a few powerful demons who claim to be descendants of the Qi, Fei, and Hao surnames, and claim to be kings and princes, gathering demons of all sizes in the demon land, and even attracting the people of the Sheshen Kingdom to form a demon army and launch an attack on the human world.
In the memory of the demons, they once ruled the entire continent together with the demons, so they are still called demons, and humans are usurpers and betrayers.
Qi Wushang is a typical demon king. Like the previous demon king, he firmly believes that he has noble blood and is responsible for revitalizing the power of the demons. Therefore, he has launched demon wars in many ways. The nine great Taoist sects regard him as a great threat and have made great sacrifices to hunt him down.
Now, he has fallen into the hands of the Pangshan Taoist sect.
At least thirty magic weapons are aimed at various parts of the demon king's body, most of which are used to control his power, and only one is used to pull out the demon pill in his left eye.
The disciples have different cultivation levels and see different scenes, but even the villagers of Jinghu Village who have no Taoist roots can clearly see dozens of rays of light and the steam coming out of the top of the Ten-foot Demon King's head. His hair is like vines climbing all over the cliff, and the rising steam is like a flock of birds flying away from their nests when a disaster is about to come.
In Xiaoqiu's eyes. The light was clearer, and he could even distinguish the properties of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. As for the large amount of steam gushing out, the amount of spiritual energy contained in it surprised him.
The demon king opened his eyes wider and roared to the crowd, "My pain today will one day befall you! Foolish humans, listen to the prophecy of the demon saint: destruction! Burning! Blood splattered thousands of miles! Humanity is extinct..."
Arrogant words can only reduce some of the pain. When the eyeballs with a diameter of more than a foot are about to burst out of the sockets, the demon king's reason begins to collapse. His roar trembled constantly, and then reached the limit of the sound, as if to tear his throat and leave the owner's body with the eyeballs.
The ten-foot body was like a giant tree, swaying in the devastating storm. The iron chain wrapped around his waist made a series of bursting sounds like lightning shattering rocks, and the colorful free ropes flashed and deeply cut into the demon king's skin.
The clouds and mists at the halfway point of Laozu Peak gathered together,
driven by a force similar to a powerful tornado. It spun faster and faster, forming a huge vortex that absorbed all the spiritual energy and steam in the demon king's body.
Red lightning struck down from the center of the vortex continuously, like whips stained with blood. It hit the demon king's half-protruding left eyeball mercilessly.
Such a scene shocked all the viewers. Even those who hated demons the most just opened their mouths and couldn't shout excitedly. Some villagers in Jinghu Village even knelt down and worshiped Laozufeng.
Xiao Qingtao lay on Yang Qingyin's shoulder motionless, but when the demon king's screams reached their peak. She showed one eye and looked at Qi Wushang, biting her lips tightly, almost bleeding.
The last lightning whip came down, and the demon king's eyeball finally flew out of the eye socket.
The huge demon pill turned several times in the air, and it seemed to be still staring at everyone, and then it was sucked into the cloud vortex.
A large amount of blood gushed out of the demon king's left eye socket like a waterfall. His screams quickly weakened and turned into weak wails, like livestock waiting to be slaughtered. He no longer had the momentum of a demon king.
Just as Xiao Qingtao said before, death is a better choice for the demon king.
The ritual of taking the demon pill alive has not ended. There are still a lot of spells shot at Qi Wushang. The bleeding in his eyes was quickly stopped, revealing a big black hole. Then the demon king's ten-foot body shrank rapidly, and the robe that once expanded with its owner lost its toughness, broke into pieces, and turned into green smoke.
The demon king's naked body grew patches of black hair. In fact, he was no longer in human form. His mouth extended forward, his hands and feet grew claws, his body fell forward with a plop, and his ears grew rapidly.
The whole process was neither fast nor slow. The spectators on and off the mountain could see it clearly. This was the first time for most people to witness the scene of the demon's degeneration. When a black-haired one-eyed wild wolf of ordinary size appeared in the air, cheers finally rang out, and then they became one after another, shaking the earth.
This was also the first time that many people, including the disciples of Pangshan, directly experienced the powerful force of Pangshan's Taoist school.
The one-eyed black wolf tucked its tail between its legs, squeaked and wailed, and circled around the demon queen. The free rope that bound its hands and feet had disappeared, but the iron chain around its waist was still there, making it unable to leave the spot.
During the whole process of the demon king's pill being taken away, the demon queen did not say a word, with a smile on her face, but her smile froze at this time. She stretched out her hand to comfort the black wolf that was circling in fear, but the panicked black wolf turned back and bit her hand hard, and blood dripped on her white feather clothes.
"Is it not over yet?" Xiao Qingtao closed her eyes again, her hands were sweaty.
"The Demon Queen hasn't taken the elixir yet." Yang Qingyin used her other hand to gently pat Xiao Qingtao's head twice. "This response should be quick. The Demon Queen's power is not that great."
The body of the Demon Queen also expanded, stopping when it was five feet tall. Her face is beautiful and strong, with slightly high cheekbones and a manly square chin.
Yang Qingyin was right. The Demon Seizing Pill was delivered very quickly this time. Ancestor Peak only struck three lightning bolts, and a bone flew out of the Demon Queen's right arm. As soon as the feather coat on her body shattered, she was already Degenerated into animal form.
It was a brown deer. It could be seen that the right front leg was lame when running, but it had little effect on running.
From the beginning to the end, the Demon Queen did not scream like her husband. Even though she changed into the shape of a deer, she did not make any sound. Beside her, the black wolf kept roaring in a low voice.
The chain was thrown up. A wolf and a deer were thrown into the mountains to fend for themselves. They are now ordinary animals and pose no threat to Pangshan.
Shen Jixian, the leader of the Five Elements Section, took a step forward in the air and briefly described the process of rounding up the Demon King and Demon Queen. Every exciting point aroused cheers and applause. It is not easy to capture Qi Wushang alive. There are hundreds of demon guards around him, all of them are powerful. Two Pangshan Taoist priests unfortunately died in the process.
The last step of the ceremony was to pay tribute to the two Taoist priests. Countless magic spells were shot into the sky, and the clouds and mist on the mountainside gathered again. Transformed into the victim's life form, when the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, an endless stream of blessings sounded from up and down Pangshan Mountain - the fire will never be extinguished.
Disciples from various disciplines returned to Laozu Peak, and other disciples who failed to condense the elixir returned one after another. There were many discussions on the way. Some people were stopped by the residents of Xianrenji. These residents could not enter Pangshan. They were full of curiosity about what happened inside and surrounded them. lock up. He listened to the story with great interest, his face full of envy and awe.
Many disciples have rekindled their enthusiasm for practice. Although the two people who died were both Taoist priests of the Five Elements, everyone is still most interested in this subject. Many people even ran to Yang Qingyin and Xiaoqiu and asked if they could join their practice team.
Yang Qingyin viciously drove away several disciples, and no one dared to come close to them anymore.
In fact, nine people walked with their heads down. His face was expressionless, as if he was frightened, and he was the only disciple who was not excited.
Daliang Shen Xiuming was the first to speak. "Did the demon who had the elixir taken away just... let it go?"
"It seems so." Xiaoqiu said, feeling strange in her heart.
"Then the wild beasts around our Pangshan Mountain..."
"Don't say it, please don't say it any more." Xiao Qingtao hurriedly interrupted Daliang, her face pale.
It happened that two disciples of the Zhiyong Institute strode past them. One of them said happily: "I won't be polite if I encounter wild wolves or something like that next time when I'm chopping wood. It turns out they were all monsters in the past..."
Zhou Ping suddenly walked to the side of the road, bent over and vomited. Others quickened their pace, not wanting to hear his voice.
"Tan Yang... Tan Yang is a spiritual beast. It can't be a demon... that has degenerated into it, right?" Xin Youtao finally raised this question. Although demons do all kinds of evil and are detestable, there is still a fundamental difference between killing and eating them, especially It was a demon that had a human form before the elixir was taken away...
"How did I know?" Yang Qingyin, who has always been bold, was also a little vague. After taking a few steps, she said in a tone of no hesitation: "Just eat, what can I do? Next time I meet... I will still eat!"
Another disciple ran to the roadside and vomited.
When they were approaching the intersection of Mumachang, the disciples of Zhiyongsuo were stopped by two Taoist priests. When there were more people, a Taoist priest said loudly: "I want to ask everyone, has anyone seen a sandalwood sheep? It is very big, and its whole body All have long white hair.”
Zhiyong's disciples shook their heads one after another, and Yang Qingyin and others shook their heads particularly quickly.
Xiaoqiu recognized these two people as Taoist priests who had come to the valley to cut horse tail hair. She stepped forward and asked, "Isn't the sandal sheep very precious?"
"Of course, the robe made of sandalwood wool is light, warm, and has various other miraculous effects. Taoist priests who go to the land of monsters usually have to bring one." The Taoist priest also remembered Xiaoqiu, "You have seen it in Muma Valley Tan sheep? They occasionally cross the line."
Xiaoqiu shook her head hurriedly, "Are our Tanyangs in Pangshan... also degenerated from demons?"
The two Taoist priests were stunned and found that the dozens of disciples in front of them seemed to be interested in this question. One Taoist priest smiled and said: "Of course not. Spiritual beasts have been born and raised in Pangshan for generations. After the demons degenerate, they are all ordinary people." Wild beasts don’t even dare to get even half a step closer to a spiritual beast.”
The disciples nodded, Xiaoqiu and the others exhaled heavily, and looked at Yang Qingyin with dissatisfaction, feeling that as a disciple of the Taoist sect, she should have known this.
"If anyone sees a lost Tan Sheep, please notify Zhang Lingsheng. www.kk Remember, don't get too close to the Tan Sheep. It is a vegetarian, but its horns are not. A touch is serious. Also, even if you are strong, don't touch the Tan Sheep. , killing a spiritual beast will result in expulsion from the portal."
The two Taoist priests left, and the other disciples from Zhiyongsuo also dispersed. Xiaoqiu and the other nine stayed behind, watching those people go away before speaking.
"That sandalwood sheep fell to death by itself, and it has nothing to do with us, right?" Zhou Ping had already caught up, blushing because of his vomiting just now.
"Yes, it was completely dead when Mu Xingqiu and I arrived." Yang Qingyin carefully recalled Pangshan's rules about spirit beasts, "But don't talk nonsense, just treat it as a secret."
"You guys go back to the village, and I'll clean it up later." Xiaoqiu looked at everyone, "Can everyone keep it a secret?"
Starting from Guan Shenyue, everyone nodded.
Xin Youtao also nodded, but Xiaoqiu saw a reminder in his eyes: it is impossible to keep secrets. The friendship of this group of people can only last for a few days. It depends on who is the first to tell the truth.
