Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1942 Fog Demon
The phoenix of the underworld let out a clear and melodious cry, breaking through the black mist and soaring into the sky.

A sharp whistling sound of a weapon cutting through the air came from the wind, and a giant axe fell from the sky. The phoenix flapped its wings and nimbly dodged it.

But in the next instant, a flying sword several meters long appeared above their heads like a ghost, piercing through the mist.

The phoenix was so startled that all the feathers on its neck popped up. It instinctively tried to use fire escape, but then it heard a loud shout behind it, followed by a loud bang!
The flying sword shattered into pieces. Liu Qinghuan withdrew his fist, his expression solemn.

"Get up!"

Just like how they were forcibly separated before, the one hiding in the fog now clearly didn't want him to get close either.

Then, all sorts of weapons rained down on the man and the phoenix, almost blocking their path to fly upwards.

Standing on the phoenix's back, Liu Qinghuan's eyes flashed, and she finally saw the dark shadow that was half a sky high.

A pointed bronze head, a tattered and rusty suit of armor covering a body formed from condensed black mist, and eight arms, each wielding a weapon.

However, what attracted his attention the most was the area around its eyes, two bottomless black holes.

Liu Qinghuan's heart stirred, and he looked down. Stone pillars stood in the black mist, and eyes of varying sizes rolled upwards on them.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If they could use the seven-pointed bow, they wouldn't have had to struggle so much to rush into the sky to get close to the mist demon.

Although the gold vein will not be sealed, the accumulated magical power is very limited and insufficient to support his use of the seven-pointed bow.

Then we'll just have to gouge out the eyes of those stone pillars!
Liu Qinghuan took off the beaded string from her wrist and flicked the Dinghai Pearls out one by one as if they were hidden weapons, and then a series of banging sounds could be heard.

All the surrounding stone pillars within sight were smashed, their tops shattered, exploding into countless stone fragments.

The one in the sky seemed to have seen through his intentions, and his weapons became even more concentrated, showing a hint of exasperation.

"Is this urgent?"

Liu Qinghuan flashed, and the ground behind him was cleaved open by the giant axe, leaving an extremely deep ravine.

Youyan barbarically knocked down several stone pillars in succession, and scratched the eyes of the stone sculptures with its sharp claws. After flying around once, it found that its path was blocked.

"Wait, wasn't this stone pillar broken? Did I miss it?"

As she turned her head, she saw the stones that had rolled all over the ground flying back in a flurry, and the toppled and broken pillar quickly restored itself and stood up again.

Shouting "Master!", Youxuan ran to find Liu Qinghuan, only to find him hovering in mid-air, surrounded by twenty-two round pearls.

Even though a long sword cleaved down and struck one of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, the pearl remained unharmed, but the sword broke in two.

“I understand,” he said calmly. “We must destroy all the eyes that can see us at the same time.”

As they spoke, the twenty-two Sea-Stabilizing Pearls simultaneously emitted dazzling five-colored rays of light, flying out in all directions!
Centered on Liu Qinghuan, stone pillars collapsed one after another, and shattered stones flew everywhere.

When the last stone pillar fell, the faint sense of being watched completely disappeared, and several rays of light flew back one by one, combining into a huge bead in Liu Qinghuan's hand.

He held the pearl in one hand, landed on the phoenix's back, and grabbed the phoenix's neck feathers: "Rise!"

The phoenix transformed into a flame and soared into the sky. This time, many weapons still came at it, but they either went astray or were easily dodged.

The man and the phoenix soared into the sky, only to find that the horned, bronze-headed fog demon had not noticed their arrival. It was slightly bowing its head, its head swaying blankly from side to side.

With a wave of its arm, the black mist quickly condensed into weapons in its hand, which fell in three directions.

Liu Qinghuan also looked down and saw only the billowing fog.

He remembered the approximate location: the other two directions should be where Li Shan and the other two were.

One is missing. I wonder who is missing? The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in my hand slowly rises. After gathering twenty-two small pearls, it grows larger and larger, like a full moon with a hazy glow.

The next instant, the full moon shot out, and a beautiful rainbow bridge spanned the sky.

The fog demon suddenly turned its head. Even though it couldn't see, it could still sense something rapidly approaching from the surging black fog, and it hurriedly waved its arms.

The weapons were unleashed simultaneously, but they were instantly crushed upon encountering the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, turning into mist and scattering in all directions.

"boom!"

Under the impact of the enormous, roc-like Dinghai Pearl, the Mist Demon let out a strange, shrill cry, its body shattered into pieces, its tattered armor turned to dust, and its bronze head spun into the air.

Watching the rising and surging mist, Liu Qinghuan stroked his chin and urged the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to grind back and forth.

The black mist, which had shown signs of recondensation, was completely dispersed, and its rate of regrouping slowed down.

Liu Qinghuan was not satisfied and said to You Yi, "The Mist Demon is not dead yet. Go and find its demon core in case it escapes."

The phoenix let out a soft cry and soared into the black mist.

However, the Fog Demon hid the magic core very well, and Liu Qinghuan was prepared for You Yi to return empty-handed. But she did not expect that the other party would return with a gray crystal core in his mouth not long after he left.

Liu Qinghuan was surprised for a moment, then happily patted the phoenix's head and put away the crystal core.

"Go down!"

The phoenix flapped its wings joyfully and landed in the direction Liu Qinghuan pointed.

On the ground, Li Shan stood panting among a pile of fallen stone pillars.

Looking up at the sky, he noticed that no weapons had been falling for a while, and the loud noise from the sky just now gave him a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

After a short while, a huge phoenix flew out of the mist, with Liu Qinghuan holding a firefly lantern standing on its back.

"Brother Liu!" Li Shan greeted him, "That commotion just now, it really was you who caused it! What did you do?"

“Kill the fog demon that was hiding in the shadows and ambushing us.” Liu Qinghuan laughed. “You come up first, we’ll go find the other two fellow Daoists.”

Li Shan jumped onto the phoenix's back, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask, "Can you still use magic?"

Liu Qinghuan was neither surprised that the other party could guess, nor did she deny it.

"Yes, I had a fortuitous encounter many years ago. However, my current magical power is extremely limited. I can't use powerful spells. I can barely open my storage ring and take out magical artifacts, which is my limit."

"That's still much better than us!" Li Shan said enviously. "At least in this damned fog, we have more ways to save our lives."

Liu Qinghuan smiled, and then heard Tian Nu's shout from below.

The three reunited and searched back and forth in the Stone Forest, but could not find any trace of Songfeng.

Fortunately, we didn't find his body.

“Fellow Daoist Songfeng is proficient in the Dao of Space; perhaps he has already left this Stone Pillar Forest,” Li Shan said. “Let’s continue forward!”

But then the question of which way to go became a problem. They had been wandering around the stone pillar forest for a long time and had long since lost their sense of direction.

Just as I was about to pick a direction randomly, I suddenly heard the sound of rolling stones coming from the thick fog on my left.

The three exchanged a glance and looked in that direction, only to hear the sound of rapid running growing fainter and fainter.

Li Shan laughed and said, "Are you trying to lure us over there?"
