Chapter 488 Battle of Purple Star Square
Although Yao Qianshu is not able to exert his full strength yet, he can still rival a great demon king in the late Jindan stage.
Seeing that the other party was well prepared and that he was already attacked from both sides, the Fire Leopard Demon King quickly roared and summoned the demon beasts in the Purple Star Square not far away for reinforcement.
"Fellow Daoist Li, there is no time to lose, help me kill this demon quickly!"
Yao Qianshu did not intend to give the Fire Leopard Demon King, who had already fallen into the trap, time to find a chance to escape. After greeting Li Xianyun, Yao Qianshu had already taken control of the iron tower magic weapon under his feet and directly launched an attack on the Fire Leopard Demon King.
Li Xianyun nodded slightly, and cast a spell with both hands to quickly summon rows of green flying swords, more than a dozen of them, and quickly killed the somewhat panicked Fire Leopard Demon King.
Seeing that Yao Qianshu and Li Xianyun had already fought with the Fire Leopard Demon King, Song Qingming immediately gave an order and commanded the thousands of Xiaoyao Sect cultivators hiding in the east of the market to rush out and attack Zixingfang directly.
The sudden deafening noise and the Fire Leopard Demon King's cry for help from afar soon alarmed many monsters in the market.
In less than a moment, a green dragon several dozen feet long suddenly appeared in the air on the west side of Zixingfang. This monster was another demon king in Zixingfang, the Nine-Pattern Dragon.
This Nine-Pattern Dragon was very cunning and had practiced for thousands of years. He had fought with many Jindan cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect. A hundred years ago, Lü Boyang suffered a loss at its hands in Jinshanfang.
Just after receiving the Fire Leopard Demon King's call for help, so many human cultivators suddenly rushed out of the market. The Nine-Pattern Dragon, who had not yet figured out the situation, was also a little surprised.
However, the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon, a demon king who had been dealing with Xiaoyao Sect for many years, did not take the human cultivators who came to attack seriously at first. He first cast a spell and used secret techniques to spread the news of the attack on Zixingfang, and informed the White Dragon Demon King who was far away in Guiyunfang, asking them to come to reinforce Zixingfang.
Then the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon drove many low-level demon beasts in the market to kill and fight with the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators. It led more than a dozen second-level demon beasts to bypass the side of the market, trying to rescue the Fire Leopard Demon King who was being besieged by Yao Qianshu and Li Xianyun.
Just as the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon and more than a dozen second-level demon beasts were about to approach the Fire Leopard Demon King, Song Qingming, who had already been eyeing them, also moved here with more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators and blocked the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon who wanted to go over to help.
Seeing that the road ahead was suddenly blocked, the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon was also a little angry, and rolled up its huge body and swept directly towards Song Qingming and others.
Seeing this, Song Qingming was not in a hurry. He directly controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in his body to enlarge it, and then blocked the attack of the Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon in front of everyone.
The Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon, the demon king, had attacked Pingyang County together with the White Lion Demon King. Song Qingming and some Jiangling County foundation-building cultivators had seen this demon with their own eyes and knew a little about its methods.
This demon king was originally a python demon beast that had practiced for thousands of years. After surviving the Jindan thunder tribulation, it evolved its bloodline and transformed into a dragon king. In addition to being able to control some powerful water spells, the Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon is also very good at spitting poisonous mist to create illusions to hurt the enemy.
In addition to his very cunning personality, the overall strength of the Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon is also considered to be a relatively powerful one among the Jindan middle-stage demon kings, and it is more difficult to deal with than the Fire Leopard Demon King that was previously defeated by Yao Qianshu and Li Xianyun.
However, although the Nine-Pattern Dragon is very good at controlling spells to fight the enemy, its physical body is not strong. It is three points weaker than other demon kings of the same level, and is not as good as the White Lion Demon King that Song Qingming killed in Jinshanfang before.
Seeing that the attack failed, the Nine-Pattern Dragon immediately raised its huge mouth and sprayed a puff of white smoke towards Song Qingming and his team.
"Everyone be careful, this smoke is poisonous. You should retreat first and form a formation to block those second-level monsters." Seeing that the Nine-Pattern Dragon had begun to spit out poisonous mist, Song Qingming shouted hurriedly, asking the foundation-building cultivators behind him to withdraw from the battlefield first.
He immediately propped up a yellow aura to protect his whole body, and then quickly took out a yellowish-brown talisman and stuck it on his arm.
Knowing that he would have to bear the heavy responsibility of delaying the Nine-Pattern Dragon in this battle, Song Qingming naturally made some preparations before coming. He deliberately brought a lot of spiritual objects and pills that could resist poisonous mist, which should be enough for him to survive this half hour.
The white poisonous mist from the Nine-Pattern Dragon's mouth became thicker and thicker, and soon enveloped the entire area where Song Qingming was, so that he could not even hear the sounds from the battlefield outside. The surroundings suddenly became silent.
Song Qingming, who was in the white mist, did not panic. He supported his body with one hand and looked around carefully. His life treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" also automatically flew out of his body and turned into five small mirrors, which automatically rotated around Song Qingming's body.
After staying in the poisonous mist for a while, seeing that the Nine-Pattern Dragon had not taken the next step, Song Qingming swallowed a detoxification pill, flashed up and rushed out of the poisonous mist. When he was about to look for the shadow of the Nine-Pattern Dragon, he found that a familiar white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Qingming, why are you still here? Didn't you promise me to hold back the Nine-Pattern Dragon? How did you let the two demon kings escape?"
"Uncle Li?"
Song Qingming was surprised to see Li Mufeng, who was walking towards him with a slightly angry face, a few feet away. How could this Yuanying Grand Elder of Xiaoyao Sect, who should be staying in Guyang Mountain at the moment, suddenly come to the front line of Zixingfang and look like he was going to ask for an explanation.
"Didn't I and Jiuwen Jiao just start fighting? How come Li Mufeng said that the two demon kings in Zixingfang had already escaped? It's not been long!"
Just when Song Qingming was still hesitating about how to explain this, his already tense consciousness suddenly felt a strange feeling on Li Mufeng, who was getting closer and closer to him.
Seeing this, Song Qingming's face changed immediately, and he decisively controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" surrounding his body to emit several rays of spiritual light to "Li Mufeng" in front of him.
After the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" shone on him, the "Li Mufeng" who had just looked unhappy suddenly turned into a ball of white mist and rushed towards Song Qingming.
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately flashed and turned into a green light and retreated, quickly dodging the attack of the white mist, and pasted a "Green Light Barrier Breaking Talisman" on his forehead again and passed through the white mist.
After passing through the white mist for a while, Song Qingming found that the environment and scenery around him suddenly changed, and the sounds of fighting on the battlefields appeared in his ears again. At this moment, Song Qingming felt the reality outside and knew that he had rushed out of the illusion just now.
The "Li Mufeng" who suddenly appeared in front of Song Qingming just now was actually an illusion created by the Nine-Pattern Dragon using the emotions of the cultivator himself. If the cultivator himself is not firm enough in the face of this illusion, it is easy to be fooled by it.
When Song Qingming first saw "Li Mufeng" appear in front of him and ask for punishment, the fear in his heart made him instinctively want to find reasons to explain himself, and he ignored the danger that was already close at hand.
If it weren't for the fact that his consciousness in his body noticed something wrong and gave his warning in time, Song Qingming, who failed to detect the danger in time, would probably have been unable to avoid the sneak attack of the Nine-Pattern Dragon just now, and would have suffered some losses on the spot.
After feeling the power of the Nine-Pattern Dragon not far in front of him, Song Qingming's face showed a trace of solemnity, and he was more careful about it in his heart.
The Nine-Pattern Dragon came up and directly used his own magic tricks, just to quickly repel Song Qingming and rescue the Fire Leopard Demon King who was being besieged by two human Jindan strongmen not far away and was already struggling to support it.
I thought Song Qingming had been bluffed by me and was about to succeed, but I didn't expect Song Qingming to suddenly wake up and avoid his sneak attack in advance. The Nine-Pattern Dragon was also very angry and puzzled afterwards.
Seeing that he still failed to hit the target after using his most powerful illusion, Jiuwen Jiao guessed that Song Qingming seemed to have some magical power that could restrain this method, and was not afraid of his illusion at all, which also made Jiuwen Jiao lose its most powerful magical power.
Looking at the Fire Leopard Demon King who had been beaten back step by step, and the dozen or so Level 2 demon beasts he brought to support him, who were unable to break through the defense line formed by the foundation-building cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect, Jiuwen Jiao became more and more anxious.
After spitting out a burst of poisonous mist from his mouth again, Jiuwen Jiao's whole body quickly rolled into a ball, and then spurted out several colorless and transparent sharp water blades at Song Qingming who was blocking him.
In the following battle, facing the poisonous mist entrenched beside Jiuwen Jiao, Song Qingming did not dare to be careless anymore. He tried to keep a distance from the demon beast and control the spells and magic weapons to restrain the opponent.
Even without using his own magic power, the Nine-Pattern Dragon's own cultivation strength was still better than Song Qingming's. Even if it was a long-distance magic competition, Song Qingming soon fell into a disadvantage.
But Song Qingming's main purpose in this battle was to contain the opponent. Even though the fierce attack of the Nine-Pattern Dragon caused him a lot of pressure, Song Qingming still gritted his teeth and persevered after consuming a lot of spiritual objects.
After about a quarter of an hour, with the powerful blow of the pagoda under Yao Qianshu's feet, the already seriously injured Fire Leopard Demon King was pressed under the tower. The Fire Leopard Demon King, who had completely lost his resistance, screamed and was soon easily beheaded by the giant sword in Li Xianyun's hand.
Seeing that the Fire Leopard Demon King he was going to rescue had died, the Nine-Pattern Dragon Demon King did not hesitate. After spitting out a bunch of poisonous mist to cover his body, he turned around and left Song Qingming behind and fled north.
