Chapter 179 Helping Hand
Chapter 179 Helping Hand
The mountains around the Lost Lake were covered with a layer of light film, blocking the rain. The river was surging, the undercurrent was turbulent, the water splashed hundreds of feet, flew to the mountains, hit the light film, and exploded into countless water splashes.
The demons under the light film were also terrified when they saw the terrifying celestial phenomenon.
In the mountains southwest of the lake, the demons here are all dressed in green clothes and black hats, and there is a tattoo of a water ghost struggling upwards from the tip of the nose to the center of the eyebrows.
This is the attire of the Yinhe Ghost Cult.
The Yinhe Ghost Cult was originally a demon cult located in the Nanpanjiang area, at the western border of Miaojiang and the Southern Wilderness. It was famous for controlling water ghosts and using corrupted water magic, and was also a southern demon cult.
However, the Southern Demon Cult was previously classified as such based more on its region and style of doing things. Now, with the unification of the Southern Demon Cult, the Yinhe Ghost Cult is truly affiliated with the Southern Cult. At Xin Chenzi's order, half of the cult had to go deep into the heart of Miao territory to hunt down the remnants of Hongmuling.
In a cave, there was an old man with fair skin and a fat body. He looked like a corpse that had been soaked in water for many days, pale and bloated.
A man who looked like a lump of dead flesh, with a waxy sheen all over his body, wearing a slippery green robe, and a small black hat on his bald head, covering a small area of his forehead.
The man with a sinister and creepy appearance is the leader of the Yinhe Ghost Cult, also known as the Yinhe Ghost Master, Yang Xuanla.
"The rain is a bit heavy."
He said,
But he was not talking to himself, he was speaking with his soul, to the Blood Vine Grandma, Long Youpo, "Long Po, you have to keep a close eye on them, don't let the people from Redwood Ridge take the opportunity to escape."
"Ah."
Long Youpo replied him and said,
"Those three Taoists have been inside for such a long time, and there has been no movement. The six people who were covering outside have also been missing recently. Be careful."
"Hey."
Yang Xuanla sneered, "Two people who have just formed their elixir, who have never experienced a thunder tribulation, really think they are heroes. There is also a person in the second realm who wants to join in the fun. Hong Changbao is in a predicament that he can't do anything about. What can they do? As for the few people outside, I think they have gone back to ask for help."
"What if we call for help?"
Long Youpo asked back.
"Come? Who will come? As long as they are from the third realm, I have you and I here. Mr. Shan and the old farmer are not far from here. Why should we be afraid of them? The fourth and fifth realms? Even if we can invite them, will they dare to come? The Great Sage uses his true dragon body to combine the water veins of the Southern Wasteland. Only earth immortals can defeat him. The Southern Wasteland is so close to here. If the fourth and fifth realms of the righteous dare to come, the Great Sage can cast a spell to get here when he is in the Southern Wasteland. As long as one of them can be left alive, it will be a loss that the righteous cannot afford."
Yang Xuanla said disdainfully.
Although the tone was quite loud, what she said was indeed reasonable, and Long Youpo didn't say anything else.
"Don't forget my plague bug. Although it can't destroy the golden elixir, it's definitely hard to survive in the second realm. There are only a few people jumping around inside, and most of the others can't move. The credit for exterminating Redwood Ridge has already been taken by half. Long Po trapped the enemy and I killed him, and we will share the credit. As for Yao Kaijiang, he is just a reckless man."
Long Po chuckled and said, "Okay, okay."
Then, the two continued to sit in silence without saying anything.
The thunder is still muffled and the sound of water is still surging.
The lake mist spread, unknowingly covering the surrounding mountains. In other words, at this moment it was impossible to distinguish between rain and fog.
None of the demons in the mountains saw a long white snake swimming in the rain and fog, appearing and disappearing.
"hold head high--"
Amid the sound of thunder and water, a clear dragon roar was suddenly heard, and then a green sword light was seen shining brightly from the southern sky.
The sword light cut through the rain curtain, like a green dragon galloping in the rain.
The Azure Dragon roared, faster than the lightning, and smashed heavily on the hilltop where the Yelang Sect was located.
"boom!"
The light film used to block the rain met the sword light and was shattered instantly. The sword light struck the mountains, flattening two mountaintops in an instant and taking away the lives of thousands of demon soldiers.
"who!"
With several horse neighs, the bronze chariot flew out from the mountain. The furious Yao Kaijiang had already stood up from the carriage, holding a long spear made in the ancient Qin style.
In the Lost Lake, Cheng Xinzhan was doing two things at once. On the one hand, he performed the altar method to increase the rain and summon thunder. On the other hand, he controlled the divine Teng Snake in the Cloud House to leave its body and enter the Shangqing Sutra, transforming into the Teng Snake Dharma Image and raising clouds and fog.
He heard the sound of swords shattering the mountains and knew that the reinforcements had arrived.
"Do it!"
He shouted in a low voice, and then the magic formula in his hand changed. The ordinary summer rain thunder suddenly turned into the demon-killing and plague-eliminating heavenly thunder of the Five Thunder Technique. The purple lightning was like a dragon, and it struck Yao Kaijiang on the head fiercely, catching him off guard.
However, the golden mask on Yao Kaijiang's face seemed to be a good treasure. With a flash of golden light, it absorbed the lightning for him.
However, thunder from the sky was falling like rain. The golden mask absorbed one, and countless others followed.
Yao Kaijiang drove to dodge, but at this moment, he suddenly found that he could no longer see through the rain in front of him, and couldn't even tell the direction.
"I once carried a star raft across the Styx, watching the Azure Dragon alone in the cold night;
Today, the three-foot-high waves are rising, and the Milky Way is rolling back to bring people back! "
A man walked into the fog while reciting a poem aloud, and then slashed at Yao Kaijiang with a sword.
The person was close at hand, and Yao Kaijiang finally saw who was attacking.
"It's you!"
The visitor was a Taoist priest, who looked to be in his forties, elegant and refined, wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a long sword in his hand.
"It's me."
Leave the Tianfang said.
“It turns out to be an old friend.”
On the Lost Lake, Cheng Xinzhan also saw the reinforcements and couldn't help but smile knowingly. At the same time, he paid attention to the movements of Long Youpo and Yang Xuanla. The two seemed to be confused by the sudden attack and they both strengthened the light film protecting the top of the mountain instead of helping Yao Kaijiang.
That's fine.
Hong Changbao beside him laughed loudly and sacrificed a blood-red curved blade. The curved blade had no handle and was shaped like a moon. The blood-red curved blade flew out of the Mysterious Lake and hit Yao Kaijiang. At the same time, he also followed the blade out of the Mysterious Lake.
Blood-transforming magic sword!
Cheng Xinzhan recognized this magic weapon. The moment it was sacrificed, he felt like all the blood in his body was being sucked away.
"Bai Jiang, I didn't expect it was you who came."
Hong Changbao laughed happily, and he still called Liu Tianfang by his Miao name.
"Last time when Qie Qing was trapped in the evil cave, have you forgotten how Su Kong scolded you and me? Now that you are in danger, how can I not come?"
Liu Tianfang said with a smile. When a few Taoist priests came to Qinglong Cave some time ago and said that Hongmu Ridge was in danger and urgently needed reinforcements, he decided to throw away all his hesitations. This time, even if the entire sect disagreed, he would take risks for his friends and stop talking about the difference between the Taoist sect and the side sect, and stop talking about the demon sect being too powerful and should not be provoked.
"Yes, yes, Su Kong is always right. By the way, she has a good apprentice now!"
Hong Changbao laughed loudly, and at the same time, he controlled the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword continuously, coordinating with the long sword in Liu Tianfang's hand, and attacked Yao Kaijiang together.
At this time, Shen Zhaoming beside Cheng Xinzhan rose from the ground. The huge waves from the upper reaches of the Wujiang River had arrived. From a distance, they looked like moving mountains. On the waves, a black snake was guiding the waves.
"It's still too small."
Shen Zhaoming muttered to himself.
He swung his whisk, and the surging river water suddenly left the river channel, soared into the air, and directly jumped over the top of Long Youpo Yang Xuanla mountain where the light film thickened again, and flew across the Lost Lake. While flying over the Lost Lake, hundreds of water columns broke out on the surface of the lake and merged into the flying river. Under the horrified gaze of the demons, it fell towards the top of the Yelang Sect in the east.
Yao Kaijiang's eyes were bloodshot. He called the six bronze warriors to resist Hong Changbao and Liu Tianfang, while he himself offered a rusty bronze coffin, as if to hold Fei Jiang.
But at this time, two giant gods suddenly appeared in the fog, a male god holding a fire whip, and a female god holding a bow and string, they attacked at the same time, and the fire whip and light arrow hit the bronze coffin at the same time, causing it to move sideways and failed to reach Feijiang.
"boom!"
There was a deafening roar, and five or six mountains collapsed under the flying river. Among the tens of thousands of demons, only a few thousand fled quickly before the river water fell. The rest were mercilessly beaten into the mud by the river water. The second realm cultivators were fine, their internal organs were displaced by the shock, but at least they could still struggle to get up and escape, but most of them were first realm cultivators. After being beaten by the flying river, their flesh and blood were immediately confused and they merged directly into the mud.
"what!"
Yao Kaijiang roared angrily. He had rebelled against Hongmuling and defected to Xin Chenzi without any foundation. Although these tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were gathered by Xin Chenzi from all over the place, they were his only team. Seeing that most of them were gone, how could he not go crazy?
He formed talismans with his hands one after another and struck them into the bronze coffin. The bronze coffin emitted a humming sound, and then zombies crawled out one after another!
At the same time, he shouted,
"Long Youpo! Yang Xuanla! Why don't you take action?!"
Yang Xuanla had already realized that there was something strange about the fog in front of him, because he heard a lot of noise coming from Yao Kaijiang's side, but he couldn't see what was happening, so he dared not move.
However, he did not move, but Long Youpo did. The blood river in the fog suddenly began to burn with flames, blood-red flames. The flames came into contact with the fog, making a sizzling sound.
Cheng Xinzhan also made hand gestures and chanted the incantation.
"change!"
Then, the Teng Snake spit out its tongue and the fog rolled. At the same time, Wu Xuanmiao, who came with the river water, also sacrificed his inner elixir and released the fog.
However, this action of the two seemed to have angered Long Youpo. The blood river suddenly turned into a blood dragon, which moved recklessly in the fog. The blazing flames quickly drove away the fog, and it even tried to bite Wu Xuanmiao's inner elixir, scaring the black snake so much that it quickly retracted.
The blood dragon circled, emitting a dazzling red light, which also illuminated the battlefield where Yao Kaijiang was.
At this time, Li Chengyan and Wang Chengyi controlled two giant gods, Song Jishu held a talisman, and Fang Weimin waved a red leaf magic fan to restrain the six bronze warriors. The Meng brothers and sisters raised the thunder flag to kill the zombies that kept crawling out of the bronze coffin.
Yao Kaijiang was under the joint attack of Hong Changbao and Liu Tianfang.
Shen Zhaoming alone stopped the only two third-level demons in the Yelang Sect. They were Chi Tongpi and Meng Tianhu who had been named by Yao Kaijiang. Fortunately, these two had not survived the thunder tribulation.
Huang Miaoluo felt that he was not participating in the battle among the three realms, but was just holding a sword to chase the evil leader of the Yelang Sect.
At this moment, the blood river turned into a blood dragon and flew away, and the people of Hongmu Ridge also walked out of the Lost Lake to kill the devil of the Yelang Sect.
It seemed that the Yelang Sect, which had just been established, was about to collapse.
"Old ghost, he's not that important. Don't hold back. Act now!"
Long Youpo shouted.
Cheng Xinzhan, who was in charge of the fog formation in the Misty Lake, was a little surprised. Yao Kaijiang was much harder to kill than he had imagined. The six bronze warriors guarding him were all in the initial stage of the Golden Core. His chariot was extremely fast, easy to dodge and crash into. The golden mask on his face could actually resist the heavenly thunder, and his body was exceptionally strong. He was still alive and well after being hit by the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword and the magic sword in Liu Tianfang's hand several times. The bronze coffin was also extraordinary, with even a second-level zombie crawling out of it.
How could a person who turned from a side sect to a demon have such profound body-refining techniques and so many magic weapons?
Could it be that it was given by Xin Chenzi? Would the devil be so generous?
But if time drags on for too long, Long Youpo and Yang Xuanla will take action.
"You turned yourself into a mercury-blooded bronze corpse? You opened the Ksitigarbha of the ancient Yelang Kingdom?!"
Seeing that his Blood-Transforming Divine Sword had little effect, Hong Changbao looked at Yao Kaijiang's many magic weapons and finally realized something, and shouted out a guess.
"Hahahaha!"
Yao Kaijiang waved his long spear towards Hong Changbao, laughing crazily, "That old immortal is finally dead. No one can stop me from using living people to refine mercury blood. Why shouldn't I do it?! I am a descendant of the Yelang royal family. Why can't I take the Yelang treasure?!"
Hong Changbao was furious. He dodged the long spear and then attacked with the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. Both he and his master knew that Yao Kaijiang was a descendant of Yelang. They also knew that Yao Kaijiang wanted to take the Ksitigarbha of Yelang. He did have the key to enter the Ksitigarbha, which was to refine himself into the secret mercury-blood-copper corpse of the Yelang royal family.
However, to refine the mercury blood and copper corpse, a living person must be sacrificed. The person's blood must be taken and mixed with mercury sand and copper juice to make a secret medicine. This secret medicine must then be used to replace the body's essence and blood. Only in this way can it be successful.
However, Yao Kaijiang was accepted as a disciple by the Red Haired Ancestor when he was young, and practiced the side door methods. The side door has rules, and it is not allowed to use living people to practice magic and refine weapons. Therefore, Yao Kaijiang has never refined a mercury blood copper corpse, and could not open the Yelang Ksitigarbha. Unexpectedly, he took action immediately after his master died.
"You, is this why you betrayed your master?!"
Hong Changbao also had another level of enlightenment. He couldn't believe it and asked loudly. He controlled the magic sword with his mind and at the same time summoned a red wooden stick and hit Yao Kaijiang hard.
Yao Kaijiang dodged with a grim smile, and then used a magic bracelet made of human skulls to shake off the wooden stick. At the same time, he blocked Liu Tianfang's sword with a long spear and said,
"Haha, a little bit, but it's mostly because of you!"
He looked at Hong Changbao viciously, "I am the eldest disciple of that damn old man. How am I not better than you in cultivation? But he just likes you! He follows you around in everything! He calls you wherever he goes! Everyone on Tiangou Cliff listens to you. The new disciples think you are the eldest senior brother. Look, he has even given you the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword! Why shouldn't I rebel against him!"
Yao Kaijiang roared loudly. He didn't care that the copper spear in his hand was cut into several pieces by the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, nor did he care that Liu Tianfang took the opportunity to cut several deep wounds on his back. He just chopped at Hong Changbao with all his might.
Hong Changbao was holding the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, but he was beaten back step by step.
Want bad things.
Cheng Xinzhan's heart sank. After all, the fog that spread outside the Lost Lake was not created by the power of heaven and earth, and he was not an expert in formations. After Long Youpo made a full-strength attack, the fog was gradually burned away. These two demons, whose realms were higher than Yao Kaijiang, were about to join the battle.
He originally wanted to work together to quickly kill Yao Kaijiang to establish his authority, and then wait for an opportunity to deal with Long Youpo and Yang Xuanla, but he did not expect that Yao Kaijiang had so many secret treasures of the Yelang Kingdom on him.
He simply gave up maintaining the fog array and prepared to join the battle to besiege Yao Kaijiang.
"The devil must be killed!"
An angry roar came from the north, as clear as the sound of a piano.
Cheng Xinzhan felt relieved upon hearing that. Song Jishu had clearly said that the reinforcements he had invited included four third-level cultivators who had undergone alchemy, but only Liu Tianfang had shown up so far. He thought that the other three were too timid to show up. Now it seems that he was too worried.
But that's not right. Why does the sound come from the north? Qinglong Cave and Xianren Cave are both south of Wujiang River!
He looked back to the north and saw a green rainbow spreading from the northern sky, clearing clouds and rain along the way. Its power was even greater than that of the green dragon sword of Liutianfang. The tail of the green rainbow was extremely long and lingered for a long time, like a green rope hanging across the north and south of the sky.
