Chapter 357: Righteous and Demon Meet

According to Li Mu's original idea, if there was only the black-clothed man alone at this moment, he would just approach him and then suddenly attack and behead this demon when he was unprepared. Naturally, he could find Wang Sihai, who had been abducted here by him, and complete his purpose of chasing here from ten thousand miles away this time.

But now that two more demon cultivators had appeared, if Li Mu dared to show himself now, these three demons might first unite together and shift the spearhead to him. At that time, Li Mu would be one against three, and there was also a somewhat strange huge ghost head in the air, so he would definitely have no chance of winning.

Facing this kind of sudden unexpected situation, Li Mu also had no other good way in his heart and could only patiently hibernate and wait for the opportunity to see if there was any opportunity for him to take action after the two sides fought out a result.

Fortunately, it was pitch black everywhere in this underground cave, and combined with the jade bead he carried on his body that could help him hide his figure here, as long as Li Mu did not approach the battlefield where the few demon cultivators were fighting, he didn't need to worry about the risk of being exposed at any time for the time being.

After fighting for a long time, the old man with the long beard finally couldn't hold on anymore. After blocking a blow from the ghost head, he said loudly to the red-clothed man: "Brother Hong, this bull-headed ghost is very powerful, let's retreat first!"

The red-clothed man had already seen the dangerous situation on his side. Seeing that the old man had indeed been forced into a desperate situation by the ghost head, the red-clothed man gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood mist to entangle the black-clothed man he had been suppressing, then turned and flew to the front of the old man with the long beard to help him block a mouthful of yin wind spat out by the ghost head.

With the red-clothed man blocking the ghost head, the old man with the long beard finally caught his breath. He had already suffered several yin winds from the ghost head in the previous battle, and his brain was already a bit dizzy. He hurriedly took out a strange pill and swallowed it, and his face finally improved a lot.

After the old man with the long beard withdrew from the battle, the red-clothed man was attacked by the black-clothed man and the ghost head together, but he still did not retreat and occasionally released strange blood mist from his body to force the two demons back.

Seeing this somewhat familiar blood mist, Li Mu finally discovered that the cultivation method and moves used by this demon were very similar to a demon cultivator he had seen decades ago, and a figure gradually emerged in his mind.

Back then, Li Mu had just reached Foundation Establishment not long ago and participated in the extermination of the demon Yang Wuchi, who was a scourge to one side. Beside this person, there was a demon cultivator who was also wearing a red robe, and the cultivation method used by this demon was 80% or 90% similar to the red-clothed man in front of him.

Li Mu clearly remembered that battle back then. He and Lu Yuanfeng and others finally besieged the red-robed demon cultivator. That person changed his figure and suddenly self-destructed, turning into a mass of blood mist. Li Mu and another Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator who besieged him were both injured by his last blow.

Afterward, no trace of this demon was found in the vicinity, and I don't know whether that red-robed demon cultivator really had no way out and self-destructed, or used some secret method to deceive everyone's eyes and performed the cicada shedding its shell trick.

However, the figure and appearance of this red-clothed man in the cave were somewhat different from the red-robed demon cultivator he saw back then, and Li Mu could not determine whether these two people were the same person for a while.

This poisonous blood mist was very tricky. Even the black-clothed man, who was also a demon cultivator, was also very wary of this move. Although he occupied the upper hand under the joint attack with the ghost head in the air, he tried to get close to the red-clothed man several times but was forced back by this blood mist, and for a time, he really had no way to deal with him.

The face under the bamboo hat of this black-clothed man was actually already seen by Li Mu. He was Du Yucheng, who had been introduced into the demon path by a part of Xiao Huang's primordial spirit and had already left the Wei State for a long time.

After Du Yucheng fell into the demon path back then, he soon succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and not long after, he left the Wei State with a part of his master Xiao Huang's primordial spirit under his guidance.

Over these years, Du Yucheng not only obtained some spiritual items that Xiao Huang had hidden outside, but his cultivation base also quickly improved to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment. He was no longer the Xiaoyao Sect disciple who looked somewhat dull back then.

He returned to Black Stone Valley with Xiao Huang this time, originally wanting to destroy the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower and rescue the main primordial spirit of Xiao Huang, who had been suppressed inside for many years. As a result, he tried for a long time but failed.

Just when the master and disciple were preparing to change a method, the suddenly appearing red-clothed man and the other person killed them directly, which was somewhat unexpected for Du Yucheng and them.

The red-clothed man and the old man with the long beard had actually been following Du Yucheng for a long time. Their purpose was to find Xiao Huang behind Du Yucheng. After seeing the Demon-Suppressing Tower that sealed Xiao Huang in the underground cave, the two were overjoyed and rushed over directly to interrupt Du Yucheng's spell casting.

This battle had already been fought since Li Mu entered, and it had been several hours now, but it was still impossible to distinguish the winner. Just when both sides continued to be deadlocked, Li Mu, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from the cave entrance not far from his side, as if someone else had come here.

Because he didn't know who came from outside, Li Mu felt somewhat nervous in his heart. Seeing that he was too close to the cave entrance, in order to better hide his figure, Li Mu could only slowly stand up and move his steps toward the deep rocks on the side step by step.

Soon Li Mu saw a few figures walk into the cave. As soon as these people came in, they immediately saw the battle in the distance and exclaimed, flying over to rush there.

The leader of the people who came was wrapped in a blue thunder light, showing an amazing momentum, and shouted loudly at the demon cultivators who had stopped and looked at them in the distance.

"You few demons, what great courage, actually daring to make trouble in the territory of my Xiaoyao Sect."

After this sound fell, a young man wearing a Xiaoyao Sect Daoist robe, who had already flown above the few demons, pointed downward with one hand, and the blue thunder light surrounding him suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and blasted directly toward the three people below.

Seeing that the people who came were Xiaoyao Sect cultivators, the few demon cultivators present could only stop fighting first and face the foreign enemy together.

Facing the thunder falling from the sky, the red-clothed man suddenly changed his figure, raised a burst of blood mist on his body and concentrated it on the top of his head, swallowing the thunder light falling toward him, and protected himself and the old man with the long beard sitting on the side.

Du Yucheng's side directly controlled the bull-headed ghost that was still idle in the air and swallowed this thunderbolt in one bite.

"Hehe! It is not such an easy thing for you to want to keep us. If you have any real skills, hurry up and use them."

Seeing that his one strike did not achieve the effect, Li Yungong did not feel too anxious, fell to the ground directly from the air, and confronted the few demon cultivators.

The few people who had been following him also immediately followed and landed beside him. This time, entering the cave with Li Yungong, there were a total of four people, all of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators who had cultivated for many years. One of them was also an old acquaintance who had come to Black Stone Valley with Li Mu more than ten years ago, the second-grade formation master of the Xiaoyao Sect, Bai Yunhua.

The two sides confronted each other on both sides, one side was Xiaoyao Sect disciples who considered themselves righteous, and the other side was demon path cultivators who were shouted at by everyone. This righteous and demon meeting together, naturally, was going to collide with some sparks next.
