Chapter 939: Restraint
Thus, Yuanlu also brought out his own Blood Fiend Sword, an Acquired Spiritual Treasure. "Damn it!"
Seeing Yuanlu bring out an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the expressions of the crowd changed once again; however, at this moment, it was difficult for the True Immortal Elder of the Great Sun Sect to retreat.
Clearly, this Rakshasa Demon also had the idea of picking the softest persimmon to squeeze; his first priority was to strike at those few Immortals from Xiao Nan Yu.
Leng Ji and his group looked like they came from a major sect, with countless trump cards emerging one after another; it would not be so easy to finish them off in a short time.
In that case, he would deal with those whose strength was slightly weaker first, and after resolving the others, he would deal with those disciples of the major sects.
Even if the situation turned bad in the end, he could still escape; with fewer people, wouldn't his chances of breaking through be even greater?
"Not good!"
Clearly, the others also saw through the Rakshasa Demon's intentions.
Now, only a dozen or so people remained participating in the siege of the Rakshasa Demon; besides Leng Ji's group, there were only seven others belonging to Xiao Nan Yu, among whom were three True Immortals and four Heavenly Immortals.
As for the rest, they had almost no ability.
After all, previously, ordinary Heavenly Immortals who touched that fellow's Blood Light Divine Ability were instantly turned into creatures like Puppets.
If they did not have any defensive divine abilities or immortal artifacts, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to participate in the great battle.
Fengyangyu of the Great Sun Sect even had thoughts of retreating at this moment; after all, this demon was truly too powerful, and he even possessed an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.
In the entire Xiao Nan Yu, there were only two Acquired Spiritual Treasures; their Great Sun Sect Ancestor possessed one, which was a spiritual treasure refined by that True Immortal Ancestor over ten thousand years ago, and only after ten thousand years of continuous nourishment and refining did it give birth to a divine restriction and ascend to an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.
Its power was naturally stronger than a spiritual treasure immortal artifact, but it definitely was not much stronger.
However, the Blood Fiend Sword of the demon before them was different; it was clear at a glance that it was not an Acquired Spiritual Treasure with only one restriction, and its power was far greater than that Acquired Spiritual Treasure of their Great Sun Sect.
But right now, the opponent seemed not to give them any chance at all.
The black Qi transformed into a Demon Cloud, completely shrouding their surroundings.
The entire horizon seemed to have darkened significantly, and under the permeation of the black Qi, the expressions of the crowd were exceptionally ugly.
This was an attempt to wipe them all out in one go.
As for escaping, that would require breaking through those man-eating black Qi clouds.
However, the crowd had seen those black Qi clouds before; even Earth Immortals, possessing various immortal spiritual divine lights, could not block them for more than a few breaths before being breached by the black Qi and swallowed up in one fell swoop.
They were Heavenly Immortals or even True Immortals; how many breaths could the defensive immortal light within their bodies block before the black Qi clouds broke through their obstruction?
No one dared to gamble; once they lost the gamble, the outcome would be the same as those who had been swallowed before.
Therefore, they had no choice but to passively fight the demon.
"True Person Zhang, are you still not going to make a move? Just watching this demon be so arrogant?"
However, at this time, Fengyangyu could not help but speak toward Zhang Liang.
He still acknowledged Zhang Liang's strength; back when his cultivation was only at the Heavenly Immortal level, it was already not inferior to his own, and now that his cultivation had broken through to True Immortal, he knew that the opponent's strength was very likely already above his own.
Even if he was not a match for this demon, joining them would add a portion of strength, and their chances would be greater.
Of course, he was more focused on the middle-aged cultivator holding the Acquired Spiritual Treasure; after all, although the opponent's cultivation was only at the Heavenly Immortal level, having an Acquired Spiritual Treasure was enough to make up for the gap in cultivation.
Furthermore, since the demon possessed an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, only he could contend with it.
In addition, Fengyangyu actually hoped more for the White Fiend of the Black and White Fiends who was with Zhang Liang.
That person was the strongest; even their Great Sun Sect Ancestor, the True Immortal Peak Qiyu, was no match for him.
As long as this person also joined them, they would definitely be able to suppress this demon.
Although this Rakshasa Demon's strength was currently very high, and his comprehensive strength was even stronger than their Great Sun Sect Ancestor, that person was not bad either, and he also had an Acquired Spiritual Treasure in his hand.
Cooperating with them, even if they could not suppress him, they could at least drive him back.
Zhang Liang naturally heard Fengyangyu's words; in fact, he had already taken action long ago, but he did not participate in the great battle, instead manifesting the Confucian Haoran Qi to resist the Rakshasa's demonic Qi.
Otherwise, there would not have been only a few dozen cultivators dead just now.
One must know that on this mountain peak platform, there were thousands or tens of thousands of cultivators, and the Rakshasa Demon's black Qi and dark clouds rolled in, covering the entire mountain top.
The black Qi was so fierce; without his Haoran Qi, I am afraid that not many of the ten thousand cultivators would have been able to escape.
Fortunately, his Haoran Qi was the nemesis of this kind of demonic Qi.
It must be said that the Haoran Qi created by their Confucian Sub-Sage, this human predecessor, was also one of the top cultivation paths of the Human Race.
Haoran Qi was similar to the golden light of Buddhism and had much restraint against the Demonic Path.
It was itself a divine ability for cultivating the heart, a Confucian divine ability.
To cultivate this path, one must have a heart of righteousness; for ordinary people who wanted to cultivate it, even entering the door was difficult, and those who could truly cultivate this path were those who cared for the world.
Mengzi created this path and was canonized as a Sage in one stroke, second only to Confucius in Confucianism, and Confucius's identity was mysterious and he had not entered the Fire Cloud Cave.
But Mengzi was an orthodox human, a Confucian Sub-Sage, and in reality, he was also a Saint of the human race; after the Hundred Schools of Thought, Merit descended, and he reached the Great Luo Peak in one stroke, but he did not break through to Quasi-Saint all at once.
Instead, he reserved his strength and then went into seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave, preparing to break through to Quasi-Saint with his own power.
By then, his potential would be even greater, and he could challenge higher realms.
Among the Hundred Schools of Thought, few could compare to this person; after all, the Haoran Qi he created, although this path was not a complete path of cultivation, could only be said to be a branch.
Compared to the Qi Refining Path created by Laozi of Taoism, or the Dream Butterfly Path created by Zhuangzi, it was not much worse, and in terms of influence, it might even be slightly higher than Zhuangzi's.
After all, Haoran Qi was also a type of divine ability power; cultivated to the depths, it became increasingly terrifying, and it could also be considered a type of primordial spirit divine ability cultivation path.
With this path, the human race had an extra portion of strength, especially in the struggle against the Demonic Path; this Haoran Qi was the most effective at restraining demonic Qi, or the Demonic Path.
As long as one harbored Haoran Qi, then even if one faced a tribulation in the future, it would still be difficult for Heavenly Demons to get close; Haoran Qi was enough to resist the arrival of Heart Demons.
This was also one of the reasons why Confucianism was very powerful; most of the direct descendants of Confucianism, as long as they could enter the door of the Haoran Path and refine Haoran Qi, then the possibility of becoming an Earth Immortal after passing the tribulation in the future would be much greater.
Without the disturbance of Heavenly Demons and Heart Demons, the success rate of passing the tribulation was still very high.
