Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Xie Qiyun lowered his waist, and the shadow soldiers outside the door exerted their strength in unison. Their long swords spun, creating a black whirlwind that pierced through the cage-like room with devastating force.

The colorless and odorless poisonous gas was completely eliminated.

Xue Laoliu's bloodshot eyes looked at Jiang Yu:

"I didn't expect you to have figured that out!"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said:

"You went to such lengths to lure us into this room; what else could it be but poisoning?"

Outside the door, the tree demon's true form appeared.

Its enormous scale shocked everyone.

Kong Zhenhai's pupils widened as he pointed to the emerald green gem spinning continuously on the tree demon's abdomen, and said:

"That's the source of the Ghost Realm's array. Time is running out; we must destroy it quickly!"

A short sword with inscriptions appeared in his hand, its blade condensing a cold, icy power that transformed into a streak of light and pierced towards the center of the array.

Xue Laoliu did not stop him; instead, he let out a cold laugh:

"Humans, you're oversimplifying things!"

Roar!

Just as the short sword was about to pierce the source of the formation, accompanied by a fierce shriek, two five-meter-tall giant tree demons appeared from behind the tree demon.

Each of them swung a heavy hammer the size of a millstone and smashed it hard against Kong Zhenhai's body.

boom!

Kong Zhenhai was hit squarely, his body arcing through the air as he flew out, collapsing the entire staircase.

"Senior Kong!" Jiang Yu called out softly.

Kong Zhenhai is one of their important high-end combat forces. If he is lost like this, things will become very difficult.

"I'm fine!"

Kong Zhenhai's aged voice came from beneath the collapsed ruins.

call out!

Several sword flashes passed by, and the ruins shattered.

Kong Zhenhai's figure appeared, his body covered with a layer of solid golden armor.

Kong Zhenhai narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"If I hadn't used the 'Golden Armor Technique' in time, this old bone of mine would have been smashed to pieces by this big guy."

Seeing that Kong Zhenhai was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the giant tree demon that was over five meters tall, he felt quite troubled.

"Xie Xiaoqi, one for each of us!" Kong Zhenhai waved to Xie Qiyun, while simultaneously entrusting Jiang Yu and the others with these words:

"That imposter up there is yours to deal with!"

He made a hand seal, and three two-meter-long icy blades shot out toward the giant tree demon's body.

"Just what I wanted!"

Xie Qiyun roared and leaped down into the air, engaging in battle with another giant tree demon.

upstairs.

The remaining people took their positions in turn, surrounding the Painted Skin Ghost Lao Liu.

With the four of them at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, plus Jiang Yu, whose combat strength is no less than that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, if they cooperate well, dealing with an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator will not be a problem.

Xue Laoliu's bloodshot eyes swept over the crowd, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"You bunch of mere mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators dare to challenge me!"

In his view, this group of people were really overestimating themselves and unaware of the vastness of the world.

"superior!"

Jiang Yu and the hunchbacked cultivator lit up red talismans at their fingertips, and a burst of explosive Yang Flame, carrying scorching heat, shot towards Xue Laoliu's face.

"A trivial skill!"

Xue Laoliu moved with strange steps, and his figure suddenly floated to the ceiling.

The Yangyan Talisman was merely a cover; the real killing move came from Tu Meng, Zhang Tao, and the middle-aged cultivator.

Their muscles bulged, and their shadow soldiers expanded behind them as they unleashed their strongest close-combat moves, aiming directly at the Painted Skin Demon's vital points.

"Wrapped in human skin!"

The painted skin ghost's head on the ceiling was twisted into a bizarre posture, its body spread out like a large cloth.

The force of the three men's punches and kicks was mostly dissipated.

shhhhhh!

The painted-skin demon raised its sharp, black fingernails, which exuded a terrifying ghostly aura, and launched a continuous attack on the three of them.

This is the unique skin-peeling hand of the Painted Skin Demon. As soon as it touches the skin, it can peel off a large piece of flesh, causing continuous bleeding and pain.

Jiang Yu and the hunchbacked cultivator, who were there to provide support, naturally couldn't let him succeed.

"May the Three Mao True Lords protect me!"

With the incantation in mind, three mid-grade Vajra Talismans shot out rapidly, and an oval-shaped protective shield appeared around the three of them.

Click!

The painted skin demon's attack was extremely swift, and in no time, the Vajra Talisman could not withstand it and shattered and dissipated.

However, it successfully completed its mission of providing cover.

After attacking, the Painted Skin Demon did not launch a follow-up attack, but instead adopted a defensive stance.

Firstly, he discovered that Jiang Yu and his team worked together very well.

If I can't kill one of them instantly, I'll be stuck in an endless entanglement.

Secondly, he observed that Kong Zhenhai and Xie Qiyun were unable to defeat the giant tree demon for the time being.

Therefore, the Painted Skin Demon chose a conservative strategy.

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to determine a winner with them.

Once Granny Tree completes her promotion, everyone here will become fish on a chopping board, at her mercy.

Jiang Yu realized his intention and said to the others:

"He's trying to stall for time!"

By this time, the sun was already bright.

However, they were inside the ghost realm barrier and could not see it.

In half an hour, the Ghost Realm will become its complete form.

Jiang Yu decisively said:

"Everyone, go all out! The next move will decide the winner!"

"What arrogance!"

Xue Laoliu snorted coldly. He had adopted a defensive stance simply because he thought it was the most cost-effective option, but he didn't expect to be looked down upon by these humans.

He stuck out his tongue and licked his finger, his demonic head snarling:

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

His ten fingers trembled, and invisible threads of resentment shot out from his fingertips, wrapping around the crowd.

"What happened?"

The first to be entangled was the middle-aged rogue cultivator, whose muscles were being squeezed.

His eyes were red and swollen, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

puff!

The threads of resentment transformed into sharp spikes. The painted-skin demon manipulated these threads, slashing them across the middle-aged cultivator's neck, causing him to fall to the ground and die.

Xue Laoliu revealed a chilling smile and said:

"Take care of the first one!"

Everyone was shocked and their movements froze.

Zhang Tao realized something was wrong. He puffed out his large belly, and a shadowy figure appeared behind him, a dark glint flashing in his eyes:

"You all step back and let me deal with him!"

Zhang Tao clasped his hands together, while the shadowy figure behind him murmured a series of whispers, his movements rapidly shifting.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xue Laoliu dared not be careless and swung the threads of resentment toward Zhang Tao.

The Demon Suppression Division's cultivation system allows communication with Yin spirits, but using certain forbidden techniques will damage the physical body.

His body was bound by silk threads, yet Zhang Tao continued to murmur incessantly.

Suddenly, a swirling, black, smoky nightmare coiled around Xue Laoliu's body.

Xue Laoliu suddenly felt dizzy, and the silk thread in his hand involuntarily loosened.

Jiang Yu murmured:

"This is... a psychological attack!"

The Qi Refining stage cultivators can use attack methods similar to those of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, demonstrating the power of the Demon Suppression Division's cultivation system.
