Chapter 404: Killing the Demon King

Although the Qiankun Wind and Cloud Array temporarily lost the control of two cultivators and its power was reduced, facing the Black Flame Tiger, which was already not lightly injured, it didn't have much impact.

However, the opponent was a third-tier mid-grade Jin Dan demon king after all, and its physical defense was very strong. Among the eight people controlling the formation, there were not many Foundation Establishment cultivators who could cause effective damage to it. Like Song Qingming, who had the lowest cultivation base among the crowd, even if he participated in the attack, he could only scratch the other party.

At this moment, several second-tier beasts had approached the battlefield. Song Qingming and two other cultivators could only temporarily withdraw from the battle of besieging the Black Flame Tiger and turn to block these second-tier beasts that were surrounding them.

A stick of incense passed quickly. Just as the Black Flame Tiger's injuries were getting heavier and heavier and its aura was already very weak, this demon king suddenly spat out a pitch-black flame from its mouth.

"Be careful, this is its natal core fire, you guys retreat quickly." Seeing this pitch-black flame appear, Chen Jinliang's face changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and shouted at the crowd besieging it.

Although he reminded them very timely and most cultivators retreated to the side quickly, there was still one cultivator who didn't react in time. He was caught up by this flame and instantly burned into a pile of ashes, not even leaving a corpse.

This pitch-black flame was a natal supernatural power on the Black Flame Tiger. After being blessed by the inner core in its body, even if a Jin Dan cultivator encountered this pitch-black flame head-on, if he didn't defend against it, he might also lose his life on the spot.

Seeing that the Black Flame Tiger's natal inner core had been forced out, Chen Jinliang also knew that this demon king had reached the end of its rope, and immediately stepped forward quickly to press the pitch-black flame with the Purple Jin Yin, preventing it from attacking other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Immediately after, Chen Jinliang took out a golden talisman from his body and began to cast a spell. Soon, the golden talisman turned into a huge sword that was several zhang high and extremely sharp.

After seeing this huge sword appear, Lin Yutian, Qiudie, and others who retreated to the side soon saw that what Chen Jinliang was using at this moment should be a third-tier or higher talisman with huge power, and they all opened their eyes wide, and their faces also showed an excited expression.

"Since you are already at the end of your rope and have no other moves, then go to your death!" Following a sharp shout from Chen Jinliang with a frown, this golden huge sword also fell from the high sky toward the Black Flame Tiger on the ground.

After this sword went down, the Black Flame Tiger also immediately let out a shrill scream. Even if it was thick-skinned, facing this powerful blow, whether it was the shield it cast in advance or the originally hard physical body, they were all easily pierced by the golden huge sword like tofu.

After being pierced through the entire body by this sword, the aura on the Black Flame Tiger weakened rapidly. Soon, it could only lie on the ground and couldn't move.

The pitch-black flame that it had actively spat out earlier also extinguished quickly, turning into a blue ball the size of a palm. This was the Black Flame Tiger's natal Jin Dan, which was now pressed to the ground by the Purple Jin Yin controlled by Chen Jinliang.

After Chen Jinliang landed, he gave the Black Flame Tiger, which was already dying, another sword, and finally killed this demon king who had plagued the northwest of Song Guo for many years. After putting away the Purple Jin Yin, Chen Jinliang took the demon king's inner core in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time before he satisfiedly put it into his storage bag.

"We, congratulate the ancestor on killing the demon king." Seeing that the Black Flame Tiger had no breath, Lin Yutian and others on the side also hurriedly surrounded them and began to bow and congratulate Chen Jinliang.

After planning for many years, today he finally killed the Black Flame Tiger as he wished. Chen Jinliang was also very happy in his heart at this moment and said happily to everyone, "Being able to kill this demon king in today's battle also has a share of everyone's credit. I will naturally not forget the promise I made before. After going back, I will collect spiritual medicine and prepare to refine elixirs."

After the Black Flame Tiger, the demon king who had occupied Mount Dahei Mountain for many years, was killed, other low-tier beasts on the mountain that were still fighting with cultivators soon couldn't sense its aura.

After losing the command of the Black Flame Tiger, the demon king, these low-tier beasts that had lost their souls soon became a mess, and they all gave up the battle and fled in all directions, leaving behind a pile of corpses lying horizontally and vertically, and the entire Mount Dahei Mountain slowly became quiet.

In this battle, although many low-tier beasts were killed, the human side also suffered not small losses. Among the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators who besieged and contained the Black Flame Tiger with Song Qingming and others, one of the unluckiest rogue cultivators was burned into ashes by the Black Flame Tiger's inner core on the spot, not even leaving a corpse.

There were two others who were hit head-on by the furious Black Flame Tiger and soon withdrew from the battle. They were also seriously injured. If it weren't for the Qiankun Wind and Cloud Array sharing most of the attacks, these two people would absolutely not have survived today.

Another thirty-two cultivators including Feng Hede who participated in blocking those low-tier beasts also died in battle, and more than a dozen people had injuries of varying degrees.

However, being able to finally kill this Jin Dan demon king, the Black Flame Tiger, in this battle, in the eyes of this Jin Dan ancestor Chen Jinliang, paying these prices was absolutely worth it. Compared with the casualties of these Foundation Establishment cultivators, this Chen Laozu would probably be more distressed about the high-tier spiritual items he consumed today.

After everyone rested for a while, Chen Jinliang began to direct everyone to collect the corpses of the beasts on the ground. He himself personally took the flying boat and took some cultivators to search for other spiritual items on this spiritual mountain.

Beasts are generally not good at skills like alchemy and talisman making. In the wild, many spiritual items are of no use to them. On this high-tier spiritual vein occupied by a Jin Dan demon king, there will generally be some spiritual items that grow naturally.

Soon, Chen Jinliang, who turned around this mountain, found many spiritual items of second-tier or higher, and a spiritual herb whose quality had reached the third tier.

Just as Chen Jinliang was collecting spiritual items on the mountain, Ma Hongshan and Chu Fengping, who were responsible for containing the other two demon kings, also returned to Mount Dahei Mountain one after another, notifying everyone that the beast reinforcements were coming soon, and they had to hurry to leave Mount Dahei Mountain.

Those two demon kings, in order to support Mount Dahei Mountain, all brought many beast armies under their command. Although those low-tier beasts walked slowly and were still a distance away from Mount Dahei Mountain, everyone still had to leave this dangerous place quickly. Otherwise, once entangled by the beasts, they would have to go through another bloody battle.

After learning this news, everyone also hurried to collect the valuable materials on the high-tier beasts first. For the rest that were not very valuable or difficult to take away, they could only leave them here.
