Chapter 559: Extending a Helping Hand

The one who ran the fastest was the fourth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator who had been fighting Yun Xinxue. This demon's strength was about the same as Yun Xinxue's. After summoning back the tiger-headed spiritual monster that had been fighting Jin Feng to block the other party, he directly broke away from the battle and was the first to escape the canyon.

The remaining demonic cultivators were not willing to fall behind, and facing the group chasing after them, they all used their own life-saving means.

The leading demonic cultivator who had been entangled with Zhao Menglian for a long time had the most superb strength and means. After dodging the entanglement of Zhao Menglian's natal magic treasure "Profound Ice Red Silk" with a few flashes, he opened his mouth and spat out a mass of pitch-black mist.

As soon as this black mist appeared, it surged with the wind and soon covered the other party's figure. When Zhao Menglian stepped forward to attack the other party again, as soon as she came into contact with the black mist, she felt a slight stinging sensation in the spirit of her mind, so she immediately stopped her figure and cast a defensive barrier to avoid the black mist.

By the time she flashed and bypassed this large mass of black mist, the demonic cultivator had already flown to the top of the canyon. After letting out a strange laugh at Zhao Menglian below, he directly abandoned his other companions and chose a direction to escape alone.

Another sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator who had been fighting Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan for a long time also had extraordinary strength. After blocking Song Qingming and the two with a demonic banner magic treasure with powerful defensive capabilities in his hand, he also broke away from the battlefield.

However, just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, a golden net suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. The person controlling this magic treasure was Zhang Tieyang, who had just rushed over to support them.

Seeing this, the demonic cultivator immediately threw a blood-red short blade from his hand, heading straight for the golden net, and soon punched a large hole in the golden net released by Zhang Tieyang.

Seeing that the golden net was pierced through by his magic treasure so quickly and didn't seem to have anything powerful about it, the demonic cultivator was overjoyed and immediately followed closely behind, heading straight for the large hole in the golden net.

Just as half of his body was about to pass through the golden net, spiritual light suddenly flashed all around, and the entire golden net immediately returned to its original state, directly trapping him in the middle, making it difficult for him to move forward even an inch.

The previous hesitation had already caused Zhang Tieyang to lose the initiative for defense, and the powerful power of the other party's magic treasure later exceeded his expectations. Now, Zhang Tieyang had no time to use any other effective defensive means.

"Haha! This time, Your Excellency has truly walked right into the trap."

At this moment, Zhang Tieyang had no time to cast other defensive means. Seeing the blood-red short blade magic treasure shooting fiercely toward him, Zhang Tieyang's face immediately turned pale, revealing a look of shock.

"Brat, you are seeking death!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tieyang, who was casting a spell to control the golden net on the side, immediately revealed a look of triumph on his face.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the other party was completely unmoved by Jin Ziyuan's fierce attack, and the spiritual light of the blood-red short blade heading toward Zhang Tieyang became even stronger.

Just as Zhang Tieyang was filled with despair, a golden spiritual talisman suddenly appeared in front of him, turning into a huge golden shield that just happened to block the demonic cultivator's short blade magic treasure.

Although it still failed to completely block the attack of the blood-red short blade, the golden shield had already consumed 70-80% of the other party's power, making the power of this demonic cultivator's magic treasure look less terrifying.

A moment later, the golden shield blocking not far in front of Zhang Tieyang shattered into several pieces in the air with a "bang".

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, do not let the other party go. I have come to assist you!"

After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to release the control of the golden net first and quickly cast a spell to control his golden brick magic treasure, crashing it into the blood-red short blade flying in the air.

Seeing that Zhang Tieyang had trapped the other party, Jin Ziyuan and Song Qingming immediately rushed up and headed straight for the Jin Dan demonic cultivator. Jin Ziyuan, who was still in mid-air, had already shot out several powerful green lights from the jade ruler magic treasure in his hand, wanting to force the other party to stop his means of attacking Zhang Tieyang.

However, because of his hesitation just now, Zhang Tieyang had already lost the initiative. The magic treasure he controlled in his rush was quickly knocked away by the other party's magic treasure and failed to completely block the blood-red short blade.

Knowing that he had fallen into the other party's scheme, the Jin Dan demonic cultivator was also somewhat annoyed and angry. The blood-red short blade he controlled in his hand suddenly surged with spiritual light, changed direction, and fiercely headed straight for Zhang Tieyang not far away.

Seeing this, Zhang Tieyang was also somewhat panicked. He didn't expect the other party to be so desperate to quickly shake off his entanglement.

Seeing the appearance of this golden shield, Zhang Tieyang was immediately overjoyed and rekindled his hope, flashing back more than ten zhang.

With the obstruction of the golden shield, Zhang Tieyang finally had time to react and set up several defensive means in front of him, which allowed him to successfully block this sharp magic treasure of the demonic cultivator.

Zhang Tieyang, who had been scared into a cold sweat, regained his life and looked up with gratitude at Song Qingming, who had just extended a helping hand to him. Just as he was about to step forward to say words of gratitude, Song Qingming's sound transmission reached his ears first.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you go help Fellow Daoist Qingluo first. Jin and I are enough to deal with him here!"

Hearing Song Qingming's sound transmission, Zhang Tieyang also knew that now was not the time for thanks. After nodding slightly to Song Qingming, he turned into a ray of light and flew toward another battlefield in mid-air.

The demonic cultivator who was entangled with True Person Qingluo was the weakest among the four demonic cultivators, with only a second-layer Jin Dan cultivation base. Without the restraint of the yin wind formation, the strength he displayed was significantly weaker than his opponent, True Person Qingluo.

Although this demon had used several good means to escape just now, they were all seen through by True Person Qingluo, who was more experienced in cultivation, and his retreat was blocked a step in advance. After several entanglements, he still couldn't find a chance to break free and escape the canyon.

Song Qingming let Zhang Tieyang go over to help first because he saw clearly that the other party had clearly fallen into a disadvantage in True Person Qingluo's hands. As long as Zhang Tieyang went over and added some pressure, that second-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator would inevitably not be able to hold on for too long.

He and Jin Ziyuan, plus Jin Feng, who had just freed his hands and rushed over to help, could hold off the sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator in front of them, but it would be difficult to defeat him in a short time. Even if Zhang Tieyang helped, it wouldn't make much of a difference to the situation here.

Most demonic cultivators possessed some eerie means. Without absolute strength to suppress the other party, it was indeed not an easy task to keep them. Rather than having no absolute certainty on either side, it was better to prioritize ensuring that one of them could be kept.

After saving Zhang Tieyang, Song Qingming did not delay on the spot and immediately turned around with Jin Feng beside him to join the battle not far in front.

Just now, in order to lift the control of the golden net on his body, the sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator had risked his life to forcibly force back Zhang Tieyang and escape from the golden net in time to avoid most of the attacks of Jin Ziyuan's magic treasure. However, the demon's back still suffered a lot of damage from the magic treasure, and he bled quite a bit.

At the moment, he was like Jin Ziyuan, both carrying not-so-light injuries. Although it didn't affect his combat power too much, it slowed down his escape speed by a few points.

Having just blocked Jin Ziyuan's attack, the sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator hadn't had time to escape for dozens of zhang before he was quickly caught up by Song Qingming, who was stepping on the "Phantom Boat," and was trapped in place by his natal magic treasure, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror."

Under the alternating entanglement of Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan, this demon broke through several blockades and obstructions of the two, but only traveled half the distance and still failed to escape the canyon smoothly.

Looking up at the top of the canyon and seeing that his other two companions had disappeared without a trace and had escaped, the demon became somewhat impatient. After blocking the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that had been forced to his front with the demonic banner magic treasure in his hand, he cast a spell to let a powerful black mist surge from his body.

"Junior Brother Song, be careful, this black mist seems to be poisonous, don't get too close!"

Seeing the other party use this move, Jin Ziyuan immediately thought of Zhao Menglian chasing another demonic cultivator just now, and the other party had also used this supernatural power, so he hurriedly reminded Song Qingming.

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately put away the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and flashed to avoid the black mist that had already flown in front of his eyes. The demonic cultivator hiding in the black mist saw this and immediately broke free from Song Qingming's entanglement, flying rapidly toward the top of the canyon.

"Not good! The other party is about to run out!"

After bypassing the black mist with Song Qingming, Jin Ziyuan saw the demonic cultivator who had almost flown to the top of the canyon and shouted anxiously, then accelerated his escape speed with Song Qingming to chase after him.

By the time the two flew out of the canyon wanting to find the other party's trail, they didn't expect that this demon would run into another opponent above, who was Yun Xinxue, who had just returned in time after chasing another demonic cultivator to no avail not long ago.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan were overjoyed and immediately helped to surround him, joining the battlefield.

Although this sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator had formidable strength, his luck today was indeed somewhat poor.

Before, when he wanted to break free in the canyon, he was entangled by Zhang Tieyang for a long time. After finally breaking free from the entanglement of Song Qingming and the others and escaping the canyon, he didn't expect that he would run into Yun Xinxue just as he emerged and hadn't figured out the direction outside, falling into the encirclement of Song Qingming's people again.

What made him even more desperate was that not long after, Zhao Menglian, who had also lost the trail of her opponent, returned along the same path and joined the battle. Under the siege of the four, after struggling for a long time, the demonic cultivator still failed to escape and was ended by a strike from Zhao Menglian.

As soon as this demonic cultivator died, a mass of black mist emerged from his head and quickly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Menglian sighed slightly and said, "It's a pity. I didn't bring a high-tier Soul-Chasing Talisman when I came in this time, so I still let the demonic cultivator's primordial spirit escape. It will inevitably leave future troubles."
