Chapter 0939 New Prisoner
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Geng's battle became increasingly difficult.
The dragon demon could summon the demon calamity but could not retain this power. It could only be borrowed temporarily. It would dissipate in an hour at most. Kun Dun was their real master. With the help of the nine great treasures, he could forcibly improve Shen Geng's inner alchemy realm and never change it.
It was not pleasant to improve the inner alchemy. In the early stage, Shen Geng could make progress only by thinking, and the speed was very fast. However, after reaching the state of infusion, the speed of practice began to decline, but the pain increased sharply. Originally, his body would recover quickly from damage, but now the wounds have not healed.
These wounds appeared by themselves, starting with small cracks, gradually cracking larger and larger, with skin and flesh torn, but very little blood flowing out. The number of wounds was also slowly increasing, starting from the face and then spreading to the limbs.
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Geng both knew the reason. Kun Dun could use magic power and magic tools to improve the inner elixir, but there was a limit. That was that the body of the person being improved must be able to withstand it. Shen Geng's physique could only accommodate the inner elixir of the seventh level of Xingluo. If it was higher, he would be covered with wounds.
There are two ways to refine the body, one is to practice hard by oneself, and the other is to rely on external forces to refine. Mu Xingqiu took the former path. Very few Taoists like him regarded body refining as a daily practice, which took longer than imagination. Kun Dun took the latter path, which took a long time and required nine great treasures to protect him at any time.
Shen Geng did not touch either, and Kun Dun had no intention of helping him improve his physique. The purpose of the Taoist ancestor was very simple. He used Shen Geng to attack Mu Xingqiu and did not care about the life and death of this puppet after the war.
Shen Geng did not care either. He just wanted to defeat Mu Xingqiu, even once, even if his body and soul were separated.
Mu Xingqiu could not get any external help. In the Uncovered Land, his realm would always stop at the sixth level of Fu Yuemang. The most disadvantageous thing was that he still needed to constantly think to get peace, but Shen Geng's number of thoughts was gradually decreasing. He was completely occupied by the desire to win and no longer needed to stay calm.
I don't know when Mu Xingqiu turned from attack to defense, and then from defense to running, hiding his tracks with powerful illusions so that he could think at ease. This is a race, but the winning standards of both sides are different: for Shen Geng, he wants revenge and wants to beat Mu Xingqiu to pieces; for Mu Xingqiu, the greatest victory is to keep the rare peace, and then wait for the other party's body and soul to separate and enter the Land of No Self.
Shen Geng is more and more like the madman in the Uncovered Land, like a gust of wind whistling on the gray-white ground, shouting and yelling. He hates everyone, from Taoists to mortals, from humans to monsters, they are all the objects he wants to eliminate in his crazy state, and all this hatred is concentrated on Mu Xingqiu alone.
The Unprotected Land is a strange place, sometimes large and sometimes small. Mu Xingqiu can't always avoid Shen Geng. Once he bumps into him, he has to fight. The two are evenly matched and neither of them shows mercy. Every battle will destroy a large area. The gray-white ground shatters like ice and surges like waves. The prisoners who happened to be parked nearby were unlucky. Their bodies were torn into pieces. Although they could recover quickly, these extremely emotional lunatics were particularly afraid of pain. Every time they were injured, they screamed like ghosts and wolves.
When a new batch of prisoners entered the Unprotected Land from the Silent Land, they saw such a picture that was about to collapse. Their hearts, which were already extremely frightened, were hit hard again. Fortunately, the battle ended quickly. Mu Xingqiu escaped again, and Shen Geng flew away angrily, just in the opposite direction of the newcomer.
Everything around them recovered quickly. In comparison, the desolate loneliness now is a small comfort.
There were more than 600 Taoists imprisoned in the Demon Cave, most of whom were still in the Silent Land, and about 80 to 90 people entered the Uncovered Land.
Shen Cangqi, the Grandmaster of Yashan, was among them. It was difficult to count the time here, but he felt like dozens or hundreds of years had passed. Even if he entered the Uncovered Land, he couldn't believe that Zuo Liuying really dared to lock him in the Demon Cave. In the history of Taoism for more than 130,000 years, he was definitely the first Grandmaster to accept this punishment.
"Ah--" Shen Cangqi let out a heart-wrenching scream just after Shen Geng's roar disappeared. He didn't care about the other people standing around him. Some of them were Yashan disciples. These people really ignored the Grandmaster. Everyone was immersed in their own pain and fear.
"This is a dream, this must be a dream. No, high-level Taoists don't dream... This is an illusion, I'm under an illusion, it must be Zuo Liuying who attacked me." Shen Zangqi began to cast a spell, trying to get rid of this unreal world, but he couldn't summon any magic weapon, which made him believe that he was under an illusion. He spared no effort to activate his magic power and fought fiercely with the imaginary illusion.
In the early days of entering the Uncovered Land, everyone still had some rationality. Some ran away, hoping to be alone, while others preferred to gather together and rely on each other. Shen Zangqi was the master of Yashan, and he could attract followers even in prison. At least fifty prisoners stayed with him.
A Yashan Taoist priest suppressed his fear and stepped forward and said, "Grandmaster, we have to find a way to leave here."
"He Cheng, why did you appear in Zuo Liuying's illusion? Did I have a deep impression of you? Impossible, you are just a stupid Xingluo Taoist priest, what qualifications do you have for me to value you? I understand, Zuo Liuying's illusion is a combination of reality and illusion, you betrayed me, betrayed Yashan, and helped the enemy to deal with me..."
Shen Zangqi became more and more angry as he spoke. Although he was a grandmaster at the level of Fu Yuemang, his madness was more obvious than that of a low-level Taoist priest.
Shen Zangqi fired a powerful five-element spell, and a violent explosion occurred with him as the center. More than fifty Taoist priests who wanted to seek support from the master were instantly blown to pieces, and the last hope in their hearts was shattered. As soon as his body recovered, he ran away as fast as he could.
"Haha, Zuo Liuying, your illusions can't fool me. I can see through your tricks at the realm of Yue Mang!" Shen Zangqi refused to believe that he was imprisoned in the Demon Drawing Cave and regarded everything he saw as an illusion.
Shen Geng was attracted by the Grandmaster's powerful spell, "Hey, do you think you can deceive me by looking like Grandmaster Asan?"
Both of them regarded each other as their enemies and started fighting immediately.
Since no one wanted to escape, the battle lasted for a long time. Shen Geng thought that the other party was transformed by Mu Xingqiu, while Shen Zangqi regarded this ugly monster covered with wounds as a nightmare.
Mu Xingqiu, who was far away, noticed the fight and the new influx of prisoners. He was very surprised and couldn't figure out whether it was Kun Chaos who finally took action against the Taoist priest or Zuo Liuying's weird plan, but he had to make full use of it. This is an opportunity to enter deep thinking.
When another group of prisoners entered the Uncovered Land from the Silent Land, what they saw was the battle between Shen Geng and Shen Zangqi.
The new arrivals were equally sad and angry, but they seemed much calmer than the previous group of prisoners. There were about 200 people, standing close together and not scattering in panic.
"Who is Shen Zangqi fighting with?" Shen Hao didn't recognize Shen Geng who was beyond recognition for a while.
"Let them cease fighting. Since we are all in the Demon Cave, we should help each other and find a way to tide over the difficulties together." Gan Zhiwei has not given up hope yet, but he doesn't know how to "get over the difficulties".
"Shen Geng! That's Shen Geng!" Shen Hao's anger instantly ignited, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He fired a spell from a distance, and then he rushed forward.
"Shen Geng!" More Taoist priests followed. Shen Geng had deceived many Taoist priests in the imperial capital. Everyone hated him. In the land of no cover, targeted hatred can overwhelm all emotions, even the calmest Amachimi also joins the battle.
The battle between the two sides turned into a multi-person melee. Shen Geng should have been outnumbered, but Shen Zangqi couldn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In his view, everyone except himself was an illusion, so he attacked the newcomers, but instead replaced him. Shen Geng dispersed a lot of pressure.
There was no death in the Bamo Cave, only endless pain. The melee continued until everyone was exhausted. Shen Zangqi was the first to join the fight, but he stood at the end. Looking at the many Taoist priests who fell on the ground, he felt indescribable satisfaction. At the same time, a new emotion emerged.
"I, I won, haha... I defeated you, Zuo Liuying, I defeated you." Shen Zangqi turned unsteadily in a circle and looked at the Taoist priests everywhere. The satisfaction brought by victory was like a bubble. Rupture, "Ba Mo Cave, I was really imprisoned in Ba Mo Cave, I... what happened to me? Why is it so hot?"
Shen Zangqi's eyes fell on a female Taoist priest. The quietly swelling emotions were like a robber jumping out of the shadows, suddenly occupying the body of Grandmaster Yashan. "Form... Luanjingshan Taoist priest used this trick How many people have you harmed? Tell me, how many times have you formed a relationship?”
Bai Qing looked frightened and didn't dare not answer, "Once, just once."
Shen Zangqi shook his head and walked towards the female Taoist priest, "You lied, but there is no need. This is the Devil's Cave, and the Taoist precepts have no control here. If you want to get married, just get married. I...I'll help you. …”
The desire that had been buried in Shen Zangqi's heart for hundreds of years grew into a lush forest in an unprotected area. Exhaustion once calmed Mu Xingqiu down, but it made Shen Zangqi even more out of control.
Shen Hao roared angrily, used up his last bit of strength, and rushed forward to stop Shen Zangqi, but there was a huge difference in strength. Shen Zangqi waved his hand with his remaining magic power and threw him hundreds of feet away.
Bai Qing's beauty turned pale, but she was unable to escape. Bamo Cave would not miss any opportunity to torture the prisoners.
Shen Zangqi came closer, his eyes sweeping over the other female Taoist priests, wishing he could be alone and "bond" with everyone at the same time.
Mu Xingqiu arrived at this moment. He was calm enough and needed to do something meaningful.
"It's you!" Shen Zangqi said angrily.
Mu Xingqiu didn't want to waste his time and punched him dozens of miles away. Shen Geng was also thrown out after him. The two of them were in the same direction and started fighting before they even landed.
Shen Hao ran back, and the other Taoist priests stood up one after another and looked at Mu Xingqiu together.
"Innocent people, this is your place of thought."
Mu Xingqiu couldn't guess what Zuo Liuying's specific plan was, but he knew that these prisoners were useful.
