Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 39: Double Formation War Horse Demon

Huo Yaoguang was sweating profusely at this moment, and her slender fingers kept making seals.

She was still trying to refine the green corpse fire. The red and green flames were churning in the stone bowl, and a large number of bubbles kept rising. Even the stone bowl itself was burning red and was about to be burned through.

She used all her strength to activate the Five Talismans Formation, using gold to generate water, wood to generate fire, and earth to repair earth. Cracks kept appearing on the surface of the stone bowl, and were constantly repaired and bridged; the water in the bowl kept evaporating and decreasing, and was then replenished by new water vapor.
"I was in this situation outside. Senior Brother Yang must be in even greater danger down there. I don't know if Senior Brother Xue was rescued." She had no resentment in her heart, but was just trying her best to stabilize the situation.

Before she could catch her breath, she received another call for help from Yang Qisheng.

Huo Yaoguang gritted his teeth, feeling helpless.

She truly couldn't spare any energy to help Yang Qisheng right now. The corpse fire in the bowl could erupt at any moment. If the corpse fire leaked out, all living things within a hundred miles would suffer, and all birds, beasts, fish, and insects would face catastrophic destruction!
But she couldn't just ignore it. She could clearly feel the urgency coming from Yang Qisheng. It was a life-or-death crisis, and she had to help!

In an instant, she thought of the only way to solve the current crisis - using the mustard ring.

This ring is usually worn on the hand of Master Zhongfu Sanren, and he often lets his disciples take it with them when they go out to collect herbs. It can hold a lot of things, but no one knows how much space is inside.

They only learned the techniques to collect things from it. Once they collected the things, they had to return to the mountain and hand them over to their master before they could take them out.

Huo Yaoguang planned to use this treasure to collect the corpse fire in the bowl. These corpse fires were difficult to refine at the moment, and only by temporarily storing them in the ring could she free up her hands to help Senior Brother Yang.

However, this treasure has always been used only to carry large items, and I have never heard of anyone using it to absorb any evil fire or evil spirits. This corpse fire is so powerful that if it is absorbed and burns the magic weapon from the inside, the master will definitely punish them when they return.

But then he thought again, his two fellow brothers were trapped in the devil's cave. The magic weapon was a small matter, but human life was at stake.

Even if the Najie Ring was truly destroyed, it would be excusable. If Master feels sorry for the treasure, he can go to Senior Uncle Dayou and Senior Uncle Mingyi to ask for compensation afterwards!

Having made up her mind, she immediately took out the mustard ring and offered it in the air. The treasure transformed into a circle about a foot long in the air, emitting a ray of clear light that covered the stone bowl, captured the emerald green corpse fire inside, and forcefully sucked it out.

The raging corpse fire calmed down immediately when it was illuminated by the clear light, and then it was drawn into the circle of light like a whale sucking water, and all of it entered in the blink of an eye.

There was only mostly water left in the stone bowl, and the Samadhi True Fire was still burning inside.

Huo Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the jade ring was not burned through or melted. He took the ring back, but did not dare to wear it on his body, fearing that it would suddenly shatter and spew out corpse fire. For the time being, he still suppressed it at the bottom of the water in the stone bowl.

She used five layers of talismans to set up a Five Elements formation outside, while Yang Qisheng also set up a simple Five Elements formation inside the tomb. Both used the Five Spiritual Treasures as their foundation, with the Disaster-Removing Divine Thought and the Disaster-Removing Spiritual Light as their pivotal points. Working in sync, the inner and outer Five Elements merged into one. A single Five Elements formation would have been two-dimensional in its interactions, but with two Five Elements formations activated simultaneously, their mutual interactions became three-dimensional.

According to Yang Qisheng's idea, she should use the "disaster relief" and "misfortune relief" spiritual light he had just taught her to disperse the corpse fire to various places in the Five Elements Formation to suppress and seal it.

Fire can be generated in stone, fire can be generated in water, fire can be generated in gold... All five elements can generate fire, and similarly, they can also suppress fire or even extinguish fire. Then, according to the magic of the five elements' generation, restraint and transformation in the formation, the endless earth energy of the earth can be extracted, not only to suppress it, but also to grind it away bit by bit. It can be completely eliminated in half a day at most.

Huo Yaoguang's idea was simply to use water to control fire, gathering all the corpse fires in the water, and then gathering vitality from other places to suppress it. This made him panic, and he achieved half the result with twice the effort, and almost caused the entire formation to collapse.

Fortunately, the mustard ring on her hand was very useful. It took away all the corpse fire, freeing her hands in time. She quickly used the "Spiritual Treasure Disaster Relief Method" to communicate with Yang Qisheng and activate the Five Elements Formation.

Yang Qisheng used the Five Elements Sword to escape in the formation, constantly increasing in speed and moving at high speed. When the Taiyi Palace's kung fu was displayed, he was basically invincible. Unless the opponent broke the Five Elements Formation first, Yang Qisheng could escape into the Five Elements objects at any time in the formation, changing in a thousand ways and endlessly. He could also draw the essence of the Five Elements at any time to replenish his vitality, which would never be exhausted.

The horse demon was ferocious and cruel, with powerful magic power. He used his sword and hook to hit the horse, causing stone chips to fly and sparks to splash. He seemed to be extremely ferocious, but in fact he could not even touch Yang Qisheng.

On the contrary, Wang Huyue and his disciple, who were trying hard to help, were beaten badly and almost had their heads chopped off by the magic sword several times. It was thanks to Yang Qisheng that the golden magic talisman from the Golden Light Ding blocked the fatal blow for them.

The Golden Light Mantra belongs to the lineage of the Cave God and is also the orthodox Xuanmen. It has fallen into the side path and has been mixed with too many messy things during the process of its transmission, and even the golden color has become impure.

In the past two years, Yang Qisheng has been refining it again, cleaning out the things that belong to the unorthodox sects, and then supplementing it with his own skills.

Now, once this talisman takes effect, eight talismans will still appear at the same time to protect the eight gates. The talismans are still golden, but the light they emit has become colorful, and their power has increased a lot.

This is because Yang Qisheng is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and there is not enough time, otherwise he could have added many more changes.

The horse demon's sword can chop the golden talisman to pieces, but its strength will also be exhausted. When it attacks again, Yang Qisheng has already moved behind him through the Five Elements Sword Escape to launch an attack. Master and disciple Wang Huyue also get a chance to catch their breath and regroup.

As they were dealing with this, Huo Yaoguang's help arrived.

Yang Qisheng connected his mind with hers using his divine power to dispel disasters. In an instant, they understood each other's thoughts and knew what the other was thinking. They cast spells at the same time as if they were one.

Huo Yaoguang took the lead in launching the fire array, and fire immediately rained down in the tomb. Countless fireballs appeared out of thin air, some as big as copper basins, some as small as fists, and they fell on the head like a rainstorm!
The firelight illuminated the dark tomb, making the hanging corpses look hideous and terrifying.

Yang Qisheng immediately used the Fire Court Sword Escape Technique and hid his entire body in the fire.

His figure was seen looming in the firelight, and suddenly it split into thousands, and his figure flashed in every falling flame.

In a flash, the rain of fire in the sky turned into sharp sword energy - the big ones soared to more than ten feet in length, with flames flickering; the small ones were also three inches sharp, with red flames freezing.

Master Wang Huyue and his apprentice watched with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open!
Yang Qisheng was clearly only at the Foundation Establishment stage! He hadn't even built a furnace yet, much less refined the Sword Evil, yet he could cast such a spell with only the most basic of true essence and energy. It was simply unbelievable!
At that time, Master Ling Lei's realm was too high, so he thought it was normal for him to use any powerful spell.

But Yang Qisheng is now obviously one level lower than him. The means of normal Qi training and foundation building cultivators are very limited. It takes several years of hard work to find a sword and refine it into a flying sword. The scale and variety of spells are not large, but the ones Yang Qisheng uses now make him dazzled.

The Taoist book he obtained in Tiger Leaping Gorge mainly talked about how to practice Qi and build a foundation, how to set up a furnace and refine evil spirits, and the largest part was about how to practice White Tiger Evil and White Tiger Gang.

The most important means for a sword immortal to defend against enemies is a sword! With all his decades of training and knowledge, he couldn't imagine how Yang Qisheng did it!
At this time, thousands of Fire Court sword energies changed direction at the same time, with the sword tips pointing directly at the horse demon. With the sound of roaring fire, it was like thousands of arrows being shot at the same time.

The horse demon was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly recalled the knife hook to protect himself, spinning around at high speed, dancing out a large amount of light.

After all, he was not a sword immortal, and did not know the self-defense method of integrating man and sword. He could only use this method to resist the attack of the fire sword. In the end, his defense was not strong enough, and he was pierced by the fire sword, burning one flesh hole after another that emitted black smoke.

"Roar!" The horse demon roared, spewing out a large amount of evil fire from its eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

The corpse evil in his stomach was a mixture of six kinds of evil spirits, including wind, fire, gold and water. It was divided into several strands and spread out in all directions to collide with the incoming fire sword.

If Yang Qisheng and Huo Yaoguang had used the Fire Court Sword Evil, they would have shot the horse demon into a sieve by now. However, it was the Fire Court Sword Qi, which was qualitatively different from the opponent's mixed evil energy. It disintegrated into sparks upon encountering it.

He immediately changed his formation, using fire to create earth. The sparks that were exploding all over the sky turned into fine dust, which gathered madly on the horse monster, finding cracks and holes, covering it layer by layer, filling up the entire cave in an instant!

The horse demon angrily spewed out murderous energy, refining the dust like snow. When it looked for Yang Qisheng again, he had disappeared.

Not only Yang Qisheng was gone, but Wang Huyue and his apprentice also left, and the large jar in the middle was also taken away with them.

The horse demon was not willing to let go. It let out a long, dull neigh and chased after him along the corridor with a murderous aura.

Yang Qisheng knew that the horse demon was very powerful. If he were in the Demon Refining Stage, he would have been able to kill him. Unfortunately, he was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. At most, he could inflict some damage on the demon. It was impossible to completely destroy it with the existing means.

Fortunately, the purpose of his visit this time was to rescue people, so he used the earth formation to block the horse monster's sight, took the opportunity to lift up the jar and threw it to Wang Huyue, and used Huafeng Sword Escape to wrap up everyone and flew away together.

They quickly passed through the tomb passage, flew out of the cave and came outside.

Wang Huyue was a little stunned when he saw Huo Yaoguang setting up the formation.

"Senior Brother Yang!" Huo Yaoguang was about to stand up.

"Don't move! The horse demon is chasing us!" Yang Qisheng handed the large jar to Wang Huyue, asking him to take it away first. He also jumped into the Five Elements Formation and made hand gestures, "Junior Sister Huo, gold and water generate each other!"

When Huo Yaoguang heard him shouting the mantra, he did not dare to delay. He immediately made hand gestures with both hands and swung them continuously, emitting a purple sword light while chanting the Lingbao Xuanming Mantra.

Five purple sword auras flew into the distant mountain stream, and in the blink of an eye, five streams of water as thick as washbasins flew out and were all led in front of her.

Yang Qisheng also released seven sharp sword energies.

Six corpse demons were killed in the tomb before. Each corpse demon had a flying sword. The sword-gambling immortal Lu Shuangjie also had one. When Yang Qisheng came out just now, he was thinking about how to deal with the horse demon, and he took all seven flying swords.

These seven swords were all in the Demon Refining Stage. He attached sharp sword energy to them and manipulated them to fly over as gold talismans. They complemented each other with the water brought by Huo Yaoguang and mixed together.

The horse demon came out of the cave with a roar, and the two men immediately attacked it head-on!
A stream of water poured down on its head, and seven swords in it stabbed straight at it. The horse demon blocked it with a knife hook, but was still stabbed in the shoulder and back by the dead wood sword.

Then he was wrapped in a big water ball, and seven swords were stabbing around his body.

The horse demon once again spewed out the evil fire in its belly, burning the water ball to a violent boil, and the resulting mist condensed into large white clouds.

Huo Yaoguang used his magic power to capture the white cloud, which did not fly away but remained trapped in the formation.

Although Yang Qisheng had many flying swords, they were simply attached with sword energy and had not been refined. Their power was limited and could only catch the horse demon off guard. After the attack, he immediately changed the formation: "Fire forces the gold!"

He was still the one in charge of the seven flying swords, and with the addition of his own three sword energies, he surrounded the horse demon and attacked it relentlessly.

Huo Yaoguang led the water back to the hall and made the bonfire behind him grow rapidly. He then emitted the Samadhi True Fire, which merged with the bonfire and split into three strands that wrapped around the horse monster.

"Gold and wood together!"

"Water and fire are in harmony!"

The two of them kept changing their formations, and their spells were colorful.

Wang Huyue was beside him, secretly lamenting: If these two were both in the Demon Refining Stage, this horse demon would have been killed on the spot. What a pity! What a pity!
He also realized that the two of them were playing fancy but could not really cause serious damage to the horse demon.

The horse demon was also extremely angry. He was obviously stronger, but he was beaten to a pulp. He couldn't even stand firmly or take a breath in peace!
He kept roaring and wanted to fight back, but Yang Qisheng's means of attack were endless. In addition to the Lingbao Five Talismans Formation, there were also various methods in the Sutra of Salvation. He was like a strong man who was being tormented by two children using all kinds of strange methods, making him stumble and fall continuously, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

This stalemate lasted for half an hour, as the sun rose higher and higher and the yang energy became stronger and stronger.

When the horse demon came to the ground, he was already suppressed by the positive energy of the sun. As it was getting to noon, he felt more and more uncomfortable. Even if he was not attacked by Yang Qisheng, the evil energy in his body would continue to be depleted, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Qisheng then offered the golden magic spell talisman in the air, which turned into a bowl-shaped golden light hanging above, receiving a large amount of sunlight and focusing it on one point to shoot towards him.

The horse demon finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and flew back into the tomb: "When I come out at night, I will definitely eat you!"
