Chapter 1625 The Demon King Retreats
There was a loud bang, and violent energy exploded from the center of the battlefield. Countless sand and stones flew around like a violent storm, almost flattening the small hill where they were.
The Black Armor Demon King was indeed a demon cultivator that could resist even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. After his head and limbs retracted into his tortoise shell, there was no more loophole on his body. The energy of the Five Elements Sword Formation was exhausted and he did not hurt him. However, Qingyang's blood and qi rolled in his body due to the backlash of the Five Elements Sword Formation, and he almost couldn't breathe.
The tortoise shell defense of the Black Armor Demon King was indeed powerful, but Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation should not be underestimated. On the black tortoise shell, you can clearly see dense scratches, as if they were printed on it. This degree of damage did not cause any harm to the Black Armor Demon King himself, but it was very troublesome to recover. It would not disappear for more than ten or twenty years. In other words, for a period of time in the future, the Black Armor Demon King would have to carry these scratches, which would become a shame and remind him all the time.
Moreover, such scratches have an impact on the defense of the tortoise shell itself. One or two hits may not be obvious, and three or five hits may not damage the tortoise shell, but it is hard to say if the number of times is too many. If the Five Elements Sword Formation hits the same part every time, it will take at most a dozen hits to break the defense of the tortoise shell.
Judging from Qingyang's state, it does not seem difficult to perform the Five Elements Sword Formation. Eight or ten hits will definitely not be a problem. It is still capable of breaking the tortoise shell of the Black Armor Demon King. Once the Black Armor Demon King's greatest reliance is broken, he will have nowhere to hide even if he wants to.
The Qingling Demon King next to him always thought that the Xuanjia Demon King could avenge him, but he didn't know that facing Qingyang's attack, even the Xuanjia Demon King had to be a turtle. This Qingyang's strength was not worse than the top demon kings in Hengyun Mountain. Especially when he saw the power of Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation, the Qingling Demon King realized that Qingyang didn't use all his strength when dealing with him just now. If Qingyang hadn't shown mercy at that time, he might have died at this time. Thinking of this, the Qingling Demon King was suddenly scared. Where did this person come from? He was so powerful?
At this time, the Xuanjia Demon King had already poked his head out of the tortoise shell. Looking at the scratches on the tortoise shell, he couldn't help but feel distressed. The defense of this tortoise shell was indeed strong, but it was his main means of saving his life. If the tortoise shell was destroyed by someone, he would have no confidence to face the cultivators of the same level in the future.
I thought it was a sure thing, but it turned out that something happened because of a human cultivator who suddenly appeared. What should I do? Can't I just go back and report? But what if he doesn't report back? The Black Armor Demon King is good at defense, but not good at attack. Although he is confident that he will not be defeated if he continues to fight, he has no means to win. In other words, he can only maintain a tie if he continues. It is impossible to catch Hongguang Zhenjun again. This matter has already been considered a failure.
I didn't expect that after planning for so long, I failed at the last moment. It seems that I have to go back to Hengyun Mountain and discuss with other demon kings before making plans. If there is really no way, the worst thing is to mobilize all the demon beasts to besiege Crouching Tiger City. I don't believe that things can't be done.
Thinking of this, the Black Armor Demon King restored his human form and looked at Qingyang and said, "Boy, I didn't expect that you are so capable at such a young age. I admire you. For your sake, I will temporarily let these cultivators go, but don't think that our Hengyun Mountain Demon King has only this little trick. At most half a month, we will attack Funiushe again, and then we will come to learn your tricks."
"I'm always here." Qingyang said coldly.
After saying the harsh words, the Black Armor Demon King looked at Qingyang deeply, as if he wanted to remember him. Then, without delay, he waved his hand at the low-level demon beasts in the distance, asking them to leave first. Then, he and the Qingling Demon King disappeared into the forest in a flash.
These demon cultivators came and went quickly. When all the demon beasts disappeared, Hongguang Zhenjun came to Qingyang and said, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered heavy losses in Crouching Tiger City this time. I don't know what your name is and why you came here?"
Qingyang said politely, "It's just a small favor. We are all human cultivators, so we should naturally support each other. Hongguang Daoyou don't have to take it to heart. I am Qingyang, who accidentally drifted here and happened to see Hongguang Daoyou being besieged by those demon cultivators, so I came out to help."
Qingyang didn't say it clearly, so Hongguang Zhenjun didn't ask in detail. Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to tell others. Asking too much is disgusting. As long as they understand that Qingyang is kind to them, it's fine. Hongguang Zhenjun nodded and said, "So that's how it is. The Black Armor Demon King is also one of the top demon kings in Hengyun Mountain. There are few rivals among the mid-stage Yuanying cultivators. However, Daoist Fellow Qingyang was able to make the other party retreat. This strength is really amazing. Daoist Fellow Qingyang must be a person with a deep background."
"Daoist Fellow Hongguang is too kind. It's just luck." Qingyang said.
The two of them exchanged a few polite words. At this time, more than 20 Jindan cultivators had already packed up, so Zhenjun Hongguang said, "Daoist Fellow Qingyang has nowhere to go for the time being. Why don't you come back to Funiushe with me first? Let me also do my best to be a good host and thank Daoist Fellow for saving Funiushe's life this time."
The reason why Zhenjun Hongguang invited Qingyang was to thank him for saving his life, but most importantly, he saw Qingyang's strength. Although the Black Armor Demon King and his men were driven away and said that they would attack Funiushe again in half a month, who knows if they will change their minds halfway and kill again? If the other cultivators from Wohu City don’t arrive, I won’t be able to handle it alone.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you." Qingyang said. He could see what Hongguang Zhenjun was planning, but he didn't care. Qingyang originally planned to build a good relationship with the human cultivators here, so it was okay to go to Funiushe City for a while. If there was really a danger that he couldn't even handle, he could just leave. How could he, a Yuanying cultivator, be trapped here to death?
Because the siege lasted too long, more than a dozen of the more than 20 Jindan cultivators lost their combat effectiveness, and almost everyone else was injured. Fortunately, the monsters were driven away. After a simple rest, the slightly injured and the seriously injured were taken with them, which basically did not affect the action. Then Hongguang Zhenjun sacrificed his fiery red spirit ship and took Qingyang and those Jindan cultivators back to Funiushe City.
After the monsters retreated, peace has returned to Funiushe City, but True Man Funiushe is still worried. More than 20 Jindan cultivators are surrounded outside, and there is also a Yuanying monster cultivator in charge. He doesn't know whether True Lord Hongguang can rescue them. If True Lord Hongguang encounters an accident, it will be a disaster for Funiushe City. However, he is the only Jindan cultivator left in the entire Funiushe City, and he has to stay here to prevent the monsters from making a comeback. There is nothing he can do even if he is anxious.
