Chapter 58: Great Dao Locusts

~17 min read 3,293 words

In the distant sky, a yellowish-brown turbid smoke was sweeping over like lightning.

In the turbid smoke, Huang Hao was sweating profusely, his expression terrified. His left leg seemed to have been cut off at the root by some sharp knife or axe, but no blood flowed out; instead, there was a strange, evil, and gloomy feeling of being drained and sucked dry.

"Help, help me..."

Seeing Chen Hang from afar, Huang Hao was actually fleeing in a panic, almost crying and snotting.

"Hahahaha!"

The girl in green clothes was happy.

She glanced at the Qing'e painting floating in Chen Hang's hand, then at Huang Hao who was fleeing here, and put her hands on her hips happily.

But before she could say anything sarcastic, the void was lifted like a curtain, and a giant hand gently grasped Huang Hao!

It was a withered and dark big hand, with thin surface membranes wrapping the bones, as if it would break if pulled, but the roar it made when tearing the air made people feel that even a piece of mysterious gold steel would be no more than this.

Huang Hao was easily grasped like a small chicken, without any power to fight back.

That withered big hand was like a group of black clouds, with slender finger joints that were simply unreasonable. When grasping Huang Hao, it was like five giant pythons, wrapping around him tightly.

Huang Hao roared, struggling hard, and various spiritual lights bombarded him, but for that withered big hand, it was all painless and itchy.

Following a giggle and evil laugh, the owner of the big hand split the void again, finally revealing its full appearance.

It was a huge demon covered in ghostly mist, with eyes like golden lamps. Its head had three faces, showing the phases of anger, resentment, and joy. At this time, these six eyes were all stuck on Huang Hao, revealing a surging and hungry evil thought.

In Huang Hao's desperate gaze, it gently exhaled, and Huang Hao's limbs withered and drooped.

Only the abdomen bulged high, and all the essence and blood energy gathered here. Looking at it, it was like being pregnant for six months.

At this time, he was like a full, ripe fruit about to fall from the branch...

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Huang Hao roared and screamed. His limbs broke one after another. When his neck became heavier and heavier, Chen Hang waved his hand and pointed, and the Thunder Fire Thunderbolt Pearl turned into a rainbow, hitting the demon's eyeball!

But this blow actually made a sound of gold and iron clashing.

The demon just closed its eyelids, and the Thunder Fire Thunderbolt Pearl could not enter, and was even shaken out dozens of zhang away before it barely stabilized in the air.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hang's face changed slightly. He took the Qing'e painting into his sleeve and suddenly turned around.

This scene was very short.

From Huang Hao fleeing for his life, to the appearance of the demon, to Chen Hang hitting the talisman artifact, it all happened in just a few breaths.

The demon just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until Huang Hao's head drooped and broke that it swallowed his remnant body unhurriedly, and all three faces made giggling sounds.

This strange and terrifying scene shocked everyone, making them feel cold all over.

"What is this? Demon? How can there be such a thing in the Southern Territory?!"

A group of loose cultivators shouted in panic, flying away in all directions, unable to give birth to the slightest thought of maintaining the righteous sect.

Even Huang Hao, who was almost at the Great Completion of Qi Cultivation, had no power to fight back and was swallowed alive like a beast.

These Qi practitioners who had just entered the path and were from loose cultivation backgrounds, where did they have the courage to stay in place?

"Heavenly Demon, or a force-different demon..."

The lady's pupils shrank slightly.

As early as the ancient times, the immortals and gods had arranged the "Tai Yi Jiugong Inverted Reversal Array" on the Xu Du Heaven to protect the trillions of living beings in the universe and resist foreign enemies.

After the collapse of the Dao Court, the Eight Sects and Six Schools, while taking over the array axis of the "Tai Yi Jiugong Inverted Reversal Array," also repaired it and added a layer of Qi layer that covered the entire heaven.

With these two things, not to mention a mere extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, even great supernatural beings like Demon Lords and Demon Gods could not descend into the Xu Du Heaven.

The "Tai Yi Jiugong Inverted Reversal Array" naturally needs no more words.

This is the array passed down by the Dao Court. When the wilderness was first opened and the ten thousand Daos were weak, the immortals, Buddhas, and gods operated this array, killing countless dark creations, which made the Yang clear and Yin turbid emerge from chaos, creating trillions of realms, lands, and heavens, and continuing morality.

And even the Qi layer arranged by the Eight Sects and Six Schools together is not to be underestimated.

The Qi layer isolates the chaos, opens the ten thousand phenomena, does not enter the five elements, is not in the list of Yin and Yang, and everywhere is gold, wind, thunder, fire, dark water, and red sand.

If not permitted by the Eight Sects and Six Schools, even the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird, which can fly ninety thousand miles in one flap, can only spin in place and cannot escape the Qi layer.

Even...

The Qi layer once had the illustrious record of trapping several Buddhist masters to death. At that time, those Pure Yang True Persons only used great supernatural powers to move them into the Qi layer, and then went home, regardless.

And those masters who had attained the Vajra Flawless Glazed Body could resist, but they couldn't hold on for long. When the time came, they could only helplessly enter extinction and sit to death in the Qi layer...

Even Buddhist masters would be trapped to death and unable to break through.

Not to mention the Heavenly Demons that can be seen everywhere in the extraterrestrial void, almost like mosquitoes, flies, and jackals.

Although they are feared by some lands and realms as "Great Dao Locusts," they are almost extinct in Xu Du Heaven.

After all, they can't even enter the Qi layer. No matter how fierce and cruel they are, they are like evil dogs trapped behind iron bars with their necks tied.

They can't bite people, so no matter how fierce they are, it's useless.

But at this time, a Heavenly Demon actually appeared here, and it was a middle-ranking one among the Heavenly Demon race, a force-different demon.

The lady's thoughts turned, and she soon had a guess.

"It seems that the evil Yin-Sheng Demon that Aunt refined after escaping in those years has been hiding in the Southern Territory, and it is around this mortal territory of Dan Su, raising quite a few offspring..."

The lady thought secretly.

She turned her eyes to look at Chen Hang, just wanting to kindly remind him to escape far away. The blow from the Thunder Fire Thunderbolt Pearl just now might have angered this force-different demon.

Heavenly Demons are the most vengeful. No matter what group they are, they are the same temperament.

Often a small grudge, they can remember for thousands of years, trying every means to retaliate.

In some realms, there is even such a story.

Just because a cultivator accidentally ridiculed a female Yin Demon disguised as a prostitute when passing by a brothel, his family for generations, when his descendants reached the age of twenty, would be sucked dry of their original Yang and die, all the same, until the eight-thousand-year lifespan limit of that female Yin Demon was approaching, and then it stopped. And at this time, that realm had long been destroyed because of the arrival of the small Yang Nine, and there was no vitality.

But when the lady turned her eyes, before she could open her mouth, the side beside her was already empty, and there was no figure.

Far away, she only saw Chen Hang taking out a Canhe carriage.

As soon as he jumped into it, he rose into the air, turned into a stream of light and rushed forward! He even surpassed those loose cultivators by a large distance!

"..."

Even though the lady's Qi-nurturing skill was not shallow, she was stunned by this scene and speechless for a while.

"This thing looks very fat and delicious. If my true body were here, I would definitely catch it back to the cage to raise..."

The girl in green clothes was originally drooling at the force-different demon. Seeing her lady suddenly silent, she also turned her head ignorantly, just in time to see Chen Hang driving the carriage and flying wildly.

The girl who realized that someone was missing beside her was furious, and her eyes were about to spray fire.

"Damn! This person is so disloyal! He didn't even say a word when running away, just like a thief!"

The girl in green clothes wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to scold, she was grabbed by the lady and soared into the sky, disappearing in place in a moment.

And at this time in the cloud sky.

The force-different demon, which had completely eaten Huang Hao's essence and blood, finally raised its head. It seemed to savor it, didn't move in place, and after a few breaths, all three faces of anger, resentment, and joy made giggling sounds.

It split its hands and drilled into the void curtain again, and a few miles away, the flying shuttle stepped on by a Qi practitioner was suddenly crushed.

He turned around in a panic, but what came into view were three faces with different expressions.

"Hee hee!"

"How can there be so many?"

In the purple clear escape light, the lady's face was cold. She turned a direction, urged her embryonic breathing hard, turned into a sharp long rainbow, and in an instant, cut the dozens of Heavenly Demons blocking the way into blood mist!

I saw that in all directions, densely packed, the whole sky was full of Heavenly Demons of different species.

Covering the sky and the earth, it was like a group of locusts raging in a disaster year!

Heavenly Demons of this kind mostly have no distinction between men and women. They eat flesh, soul, magic power, and all things containing spiritual energy to nourish their supernatural powers and demonic power.

Their reproduction is also when the spiritual energy is absorbed too much and can no longer be accommodated, they will split the original spirit to create new Heavenly Demons to carry the excess part, which is also considered to continue the offspring.

Because of such greed, they were given the derogatory name "Great Dao Locusts" by the Dao Court saints.

In the ancient times, if it weren't for the demon god giants surrendering and kneeling, as tame as domestic dogs, and they were also an important part of the fixed number of heaven and earth, they couldn't be destroyed completely.

I am afraid that the Heavenly Demons would have been swept away by the Dao Court long ago because of the "only in, not out" characteristic, like those dark creations, and would no longer exist in the world.

"Why are there so many ghost things?"

As far as the eye can see, they are all demons of different sizes.

At this time, even the girl in green clothes had to collect the saliva from the corner of her mouth and shouted:

"Could it be that someone from the Demonic Six Schools is recruiting and sacrificing here to practice supernatural powers? There are so many, even if my true body came, I couldn't eat them all!"

The lady patted the void casually, and six fire dragons bared their fangs and brandished their claws, flying out to steam hundreds of Heavenly Demons to death.

But after rushing out only a hundred steps, the six fire dragons were torn apart by the black-pressed Heavenly Demons and eaten up, simply not afraid of death.

"There is no one from the Demonic Six Schools recruiting and sacrificing here. These Heavenly Demons are all the sins committed by Aunt in those years... No wonder the True Person Junyao of the Yuchen Sect wanted to chase and kill her for three thousand miles."

In all directions, it was a black piece, no matter which direction, it was the same terrifying appearance.

Flying a few more miles forward, still couldn't find a way out,

The lady simply stopped, sighed, and a flying sword as silver as a whole flew out of her sleeve. With just one turn, she killed several Heavenly Demons good at hiding and attacking on the spot.

Then she pinched a sword finger, and the flying sword got the full force of the embryonic breathing, even more murderous, just like a North Pole immortal light that escaped from the ground! Shining within a hundred steps, the cold light was miserable!

Heavenly Demons often couldn't block even one round, and they would be cut into several sections, lying dead.

For a time, the surrounding demons were all cleared, and the remaining ones were also somewhat hesitant and timid.

Although Heavenly Demons are crazy and fierce, they are after all a member of sentient beings, with seven emotions and six desires, even more intense than mortals.

The lady's sword skills made them feel terrified and lost their confidence, but in the end, after only a few breaths, the hunger and greed overwhelmed their reason. Several Heavenly Demons first clamored, and the others followed and killed them.

Since their birth, they have been imprisoned in the dark. Although there is blood food fed every day, the amount is just that little, how can all the demons be full.

I don't know why the imprisonment suddenly opened today. A group of ecstatic Heavenly Demons first couldn't wait to escape, and then smelled the taste of spiritual energy, divided into dozens of large and small shares, and scattered.

The flesh and soul of the Daoist are nourished by spiritual energy, which is the most delicious. Even their seven emotions and six desires are more filling than mortals.

These lower-class Heavenly Demons who were already starving were deterred for a while, but they couldn't endure for too long, and they rushed up again in an instant.

And after half an incense stick of time.

Even if the lady's sword skills were good, she gradually couldn't support it...

After all, her spiritual body was only at the Qi Cultivation cultivation level. Even if she practiced the "Purple Clear True Qi" which is ranked in the ninth rank and high grade of the Shangyu Ai family, the embryonic breathing was ultimately limited.

"In the approval text of the hex given to me by the Daoist Lord, it says that Aunt was once very evil, and it was all thanks to the Shangyu Ai family that she was able to be preserved... Because I practiced the Qi Cultivation Art of the Ai family, I have entanglement with Aunt. If I don't remove this evil Yin-Sheng Demon she refined in those years, it will definitely hinder my cultivation of the Dao."

Another sword crossed the sky, cutting several Heavenly Demons in half.

The lady couldn't help but breathe slightly, biting her teeth,

The approval text given to her by the Daoist Lord was not only strange, but also absurd...

Not only did she have to go to the Southern Territory with her spiritual body to subdue that evil Yin-Sheng Demon.

Moreover, the cultivation of this spiritual body had to be suppressed at the Qi Cultivation Realm. No secret treasures or talisman artifacts were allowed, only two or three talisman artifacts were allowed to be carried for self-defense and enemy response.

If it weren't for the "Ten Thousand Miles Illumination Talisman" specially bestowed by the Daoist Lord, she would have suspected that the old Daoist who had always been unrestrained was deliberately teasing her, letting her spiritual body die in vain.

However, the "Ten Thousand Miles Illumination Talisman" was also not an attack talisman.

The lady also couldn't think of how her Qi Cultivation spiritual body could subdue that evil Yin-Sheng Demon that could almost be compared to a Cave-Mystic refining master.

"The Daoist Lord asked me to set off too hurriedly. This spiritual body hasn't practiced any Daoist arts yet, otherwise, how could I be like this..."

Seeing that the embryonic breathing was not much left, the lady didn't dare to open and close the flying sword, but patted it out with one palm, turning into six fire dragons and killing into the sky.

After another half an incense stick, the lady's escape light had dimmed a lot, rushing left and right, still unable to escape the siege of this group of Heavenly Demons.

She gritted her teeth, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, but before she could act, several thunders fell one after another, turning the dozens of Heavenly Demons around into ashes.

The lady looked up and saw that not far away, Chen Hang was stepping on clouds and mist, with the Thunder Fire Thunderbolt Pearl on his head, walking toward her leisurely.

Beside him was a round and fat boy, following closely.

"Good! Good! Good man! I blamed you wrong!"

The girl in green clothes, who was lying flat and waiting to die, was overjoyed:

"You are indeed a person of love and righteousness, specially coming to save us, what a heroism! Did you take a fancy to my lady? Good! Good! I took the liberty to betroth you to her. When you become a Daoist Lord, come quickly to propose marriage!"

Hearing the girl's irrelevant praise, Chen Hang just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

"You..."

The lady hesitated for a moment, biting her lower lip, and glanced at Chen Hang.

In such a dangerous place, he was actually willing to put his life aside and specially rush over to save herself?

You know, there is great terror before life and death. Even a married couple who have been together for hundreds of years cannot do it like Chen Hang in front of this.

In his heart, didn't he hesitate?

"You..."

The lady's expression moved, but before the words came out, she saw that from the direction Chen Hang came, thousands of Heavenly Demons were chasing after him, almost like rising seawater!

"What?!"

The girl in green clothes widened her eyes.

This is not specially coming to save people, it is clearly being chased by Heavenly Demons all the way, unable to escape, specially coming to find a helper to share!

To put it ugly, it is to find a scapegoat!

"No wonder the junior brother didn't say a word, it turns out he felt guilty in his heart."

The lady's face sank, and she looked at Chen Hang coldly: "You die yourself, why do you have to drag me into the water, to go to the Yellow Springs with you?"

"Senior Sister misunderstood."

At this time, Chen Hang finally opened his mouth.

He looked at the thousands of Heavenly Demons chasing behind him, and then looked at the lady. His expression was not embarrassed, just sighed softly:

"When disaster strikes, you and I should be in the same boat. Why talk about dragging into the water? This is really too distant..."
