Chapter 167: The Great Ridge in the Sea

Xiao Qingtao has participated in many demon-killing drills of the Five Elements Department of Pangshan, and the feeling is completely different from now. She is a little nervous, but more excited. Being able to cast a spell in a real battle can better prove her strength than killing a demon in a pre-arranged environment.

She doesn't have a main magic weapon yet, but she is not the only Taoist priest on the ship with no weapons. This is a competition. Everyone is holding back, hoping to show the results of their years of practice in this unexpected battle.

Xiao Qingtao's expectations are particularly strong. She not only wants to prove her strength, but also prove that she is irreconcilable with the demon clan. Therefore, when the conversation between the two Taoist priests came from the bow, her heart couldn't help but thump.

"That man named Hong Futian is ridiculous. He actually wants to persuade the nine Taoist sects to join forces with demons, oh, in his words, the 'demon clan'."

"He is a grown man, but he still has a red ribbon tied on his head..."

"Because he is a non-demon, non-demons have to wear this thing on their heads, but not many are as ostentatious as him."

"I see, but I saw a few non-demons standing on the side of demons."

"Non-demons themselves are confused. If you ask me, humans should be more vigilant against non-demons. They are unreliable."

The Taoists on the boat nodded in agreement.

"I heard that several Taoist sects even recruit non-demons to practice..."

Xiao Qingtao's heart beat faster and faster, and her face began to turn pale. She was really afraid that someone would point out her true identity later. She was a Taoist priest of Pangshan, so she didn't need to tie a red ribbon on her hair. But if someone questioned her, she must not lie.

Shen Jiyi saved her. Taoist Canxia from Yashan stood at the bow of another boat, holding a ruler in his right hand and a bronze mirror in his left hand, his eyes never leaving the sea monsters that were coming like a tsunami.

"There are still thirty miles to go, everyone, be prepared. Don't look at the fierceness of the sea monsters. In fact, there are only forty or fifty of them. These flying fish will combine to form a big monster. Don't use your moves casually. It's useless to kill more flying fish. We have three bronze mirrors and two lamps. Wherever the light shines, cast spells there. Don't hold back. Use your most powerful and best spells. Are you ready?"

His voice was very loud, and the Taoists on the three boats on the front line answered in unison, "Okay."

The distance between the two sides was closer, and the bronze mirrors and oil lamps in the hands of the five Taoists emitted a strong light. Red or purple, it was clearly visible even in the sun.

Xiao Qingtao's heart beat more violently,

This time it had nothing to do with her identity, it was just a simple desire for battle.

The mirror-holding and lamp-holding Taoist priests selected by Shen Jiyi also possessed the main magic weapon, which meant that they could fly freely. "Rise!" Shen Jiyi took the lead and flew up more than 20 feet from the ship, higher than the sea monster. The red light from the bronze mirror in his hand shone on the water wall more than ten miles away.

"The fire of Taoism will not be extinguished!"

This was a call to battle. More than 40 Taoist priests on eleven ships on three fronts responded in unison, and capable Taoist priests cast the first wave of spells.

Although Xiao Qingtao was on the front line. But she could not fly, and her spells were not strong enough, so she could only watch a few Taoist priests like most Taoist priests. Especially the five Taoist priests in the air took the lead in making moves.

The powerful five-element spells such as fireballs, stones, and sharp blades were not emitted from the palms of the casters, but suddenly appeared in the air ** miles away, without stopping, and shot towards the target at high speed as soon as they were formed.

The water wall more than ten feet high and dozens of miles wide would not collapse because of these tentative attacks. But it split, stopped surging forward, and suddenly split into dozens of strands. They quickly fell under the sea surface. After a moment, when they jumped out again, they were no longer water walls and flying fish, but more than 40 iron-blue dragons. Although their entire bodies were not exposed, the shortest one looked more than ten feet long, and the largest one looked like a small mountain just by its back.

"Iron-backed dragons!" Someone recognized this group of sea monsters, "Don't hit their backs, be careful of their tails!"

Iron-backed dragons are sea beasts that cannot transform into human forms. Most Taoists know about them from books, but seeing them in person at this time still makes them shocked.

The Qishan boat was moving very fast, following the five Taoists flying in the air, and approached the sea monsters within five miles. The first-line Five Elements Taoists could already make moves. They specialized in killing monsters, and the distance and strength of their spells were stronger than those of Taoists from other departments.

Xiao Qingtao raised her head, followed the red light emitted by Shen Jiyi's bronze mirror without blinking, and made her first move against the Iron-backed dragons - a few ice spikes with cold light flashing.

It was a medium-sized dragon, with the part exposed above the water more than ten feet long. The two forked long horns on its head looked like a dead tree in late autumn, and the huge long mouth kept spraying water.

The red light shone on the bottom of one of the long horns, where the demon pill was.

The iron-backed dragon was a powerful beast demon, with a stronger resistance to spells. It did not fall down even after being hit by more than ten spells. Instead, it sprayed a stronger water column at the enemy and roared like thunder, shaking the sea surface and shaking the boat.

The strength of the Taoist side increased sharply. Not long after, the medium-sized dragon that Shen Jiyi had shot fell down, stirring up towering waves and also arousing the fighting spirit of the Taoists. Xiao Qingtao raised her arms and shouted. She accurately hit the dragon demon pill at least five times. At this moment, she was no longer troubled by her non-demon identity.

The third line of five ships arrived. Their duty was not to kill the monsters, but to spread out and form a loose protective circle to prevent certain sea monsters from getting too close to the Taoist priests in front. None of these Taoist priests had any main magic weapon in their hands, but they had many items such as mirrors and bells, which they all took out for use.

Shen Hao held up the bronze mirror he had just washed in Yashan a few days ago and recited scriptures to exorcise demons. Beside him, Prince Xin Youtao shook the bronze bell and recited the same scriptures with him.

For a moment, the ringing of bells on the sea was loud, mixed with the knocking of various copper utensils. For the sea monster, this was an unbearable noise. The Taoist priests have been practicing for many years, and their skills are now displayed. Who There is no panic. Although the scriptures of each Taoism are different, they do not interfere with each other, forming a more powerful defensive force.

Yang Qingyin has a lot of magic weapons in her Qiankun bag, but she mainly serves as a conductor. She holds a bead in her hand and constantly observes the situation under the sea to detect any signs of a sneak attack. Immediately order the Taoist priest on a certain ship to cast a spell to stop it.

The contents of the eighteen subjects of Taoism are different, but they can naturally cooperate with each other when used. Many Taoist priests who participated in a real battle for the first time were delighted to find that the spells they learned must be used in this battle. It is indispensable, whether it is offensive or defensive, it can be effective.

The only exception is the Department of Cardiology.

Mu Xingqiu and other five Taoist priests stood on the boat and looked up at the battlefield. The more they looked at it, the more excited they became. Even Fangfang regretted not insisting on participating in the battle just now.

The huge dragon can be seen by everyone, and the thunderous roar and the vibration of the sea water are clearly distinguishable. However, only those who have opened their third eye can see the full picture of the Taoist spells. For some casual cultivators and monsters on the island, they can only see the flickering light in the distance, which is extremely unclear under the sunlight.

At first, some people even mistakenly thought that Taoism was going to be defeated. After being laughed at unanimously by the surrounding onlookers, they all retreated and did not dare to say anything again.

"The sea monster is trying to escape." Mu Xingqiu was far away and could see the situation more clearly. He placed the gourd on the side of the boat so that the bald man inside could see the battlefield. "They are using the small dragon as bait, and the big dragon is preparing to escape."

Fangfang nodded in agreement, but the other three Taoist priests only saw the lively fight ahead and saw no sign of the Siren trying to escape. So I just curled my lips and made no sound.

Hong Futian, who was standing on the shore, spoke, "The giant dragons want to escape from the water, because their purpose is not to attack. It is to take refuge. As long as they land on the island, they will give up the fight immediately."

"Such a big sea monster can't be contained in Qishan." Mu Xingqiu's voice softened a little, but he still didn't believe Hong Futian and did not follow his instructions and went ahead to remind him that there was a more powerful sea monster chasing behind him. .

Judging from the current fighting situation, there is indeed no need to remind them. Even if there is an ambush, the Taoist priests can handle it.

Within the Taoist order, the Inspiratory Taoist priests are almost at the lowest level, only a little stronger than the disciples who have not yet condensed their elixirs, but outside they are a powerful group of people.

There are completely two worlds before and after Condensation Pill, and Mu Xingqiu realized this more deeply.

"Jiaolongs generally don't turn into human form. It's not that they can't, but they're not used to it. But if they want to take refuge in Qishan, they have to change their habits." Hong Futian explained that he has an in-depth understanding of both casual cultivators and monsters. , "I hope they can break through the Taoist encirclement and come here. They will bring more news, which may be important to all of us."

Hong Futian's sympathetic attitude towards the demon clan was too obvious. Mu Xingqiu found it strange. He suddenly remembered Xiao Qingtao's childhood memories and turned around and asked, "Are you a demon?"

Hong Futian pointed to the red ribbon on his head, "I am a descendant of the Hong family from Yingguo Qiyu City."

His voice was calm and composed, as if the Hong family in Qiyu City was a very great family. The other three Taoist priests curled their lips even more obviously, and did not even look back. Mu Xingqiu suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, .as.c When he When Pangshan called himself a "Yelin Town person", his mentality was very similar to this.

"You are doing something that is destined to fail." Mu Xingqiu gave a piece of advice. He knew best that Hong Futian's status as a non-demon alone was enough to make Hong Futian look very suspicious in the eyes of the Taoists, not to mention his A whimsical suggestion, he actually wants Taoism to unite with the demon clan.

"Some things just need to be done. Even if I fail, there will always be a few people who will remember what I said. When the time comes, they may be able to remember my suggestions immediately, saving everyone a little time."

Mu Xingqiu looked at Hong Futian in surprise, suddenly feeling that this non-monster was no ordinary person.

Hong Futian's face suddenly changed, "Oh no, the pursuers behind Jiaolong... are coming to Wugen Island. They are not seeking refuge, but want to..." He suddenly turned around and ran towards the large group of casual cultivators and monsters, mouthing loudly. Shout: "Ready to fight!"

The five Taoist priests on the boat were confused when they suddenly felt the boat shaking violently. Just two or three miles in front of them, the seawater rose up like an iceberg, revealing a hard ridge larger than the entire Wugen Island.
