Chapter 57: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Devils

Among the dozen or so Flying Cloud Guards brought by Lu Yunfei, including himself, there were five experts at the late stage of Qi Refining, and the rest had at least cultivation at the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

Although Song Qingming had broken through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining for less than a year, among the many cultivators in this Flying Cloud Guard team, his cultivation could be considered to be at the bottom, but he practiced the Jade Profound Scripture technique, and among ordinary cultivators of the same tier, his magic power was relatively deep.

Even so, now that he was running with all his might, he could only barely keep up with the crowd and rushed to the very back of the team.

"Evil ways, die."

Lu Yunfei, who rushed to the front, soon arrived at the side of the altar. He took out a giant seal magic treasure three feet in size, square and square, shouted loudly, and smashed it toward the few demonic cultivators who rushed down from the altar.

"Hmph, thief, don't be arrogant."

Just as the seal flew to the top of the heads of the few demonic cultivators, a tall purple-clothed man released a giant mountain-opening axe and pushed away the seal magic treasure above their heads, stepped forward, and fought with Lu Yunfei.

This person was also a demonic cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining, whose cultivation was about the same as Lu Yunfei's. The two magic treasures collided together, and the spirit light on the magic treasures kept shining. For a time, the two were evenly matched.

Seeing that the attackers had arrived before his eyes, Gu Liangshan had already used a black flag magic treasure. A burst of black smoke quickly emerged from the black flag, and a strange sound like a ghost crying and wolf howling emitted by the wronged souls came from the black smoke, grabbing a few cultivators who rushed to the front.

This black flag magic treasure was a magic treasure given to him by his master Yang Wuqi for self-defense. This flag was named the Soul-Gathering Flag, which was refined by Yang Wuqi in his early years by collecting the souls of hundreds of mortals and spending several years. Its divine abilities far exceeded ordinary top-grade magic treasures.

Gu Liangshan's cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Refining, and he had a powerful magic treasure like the Soul-Gathering Flag in his hand. With just him alone, he blocked three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, including the old man Shi Mofeng.

The last remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wei Tong, had no opponent of the same level to block him, and soon rushed through the entanglement of several mid-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivators and killed his way to the altar.

Looking at the few cultivators who had fallen into a coma on the altar, Wei Tong released the flying sword in his hand, and a sound of chains falling rang out. Soon he untied the iron chains binding these few people.

Wei Tong was about to step forward to check the situation of these few people, but a few demonic cultivators suddenly killed out from behind the altar, and the leader also had cultivation at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Wei Tong could only temporarily put down these comatose cultivators and turned to prepare to deal with this group of demonic cultivators who had arrived.

At the same time, Song Qingming and other mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators who were left behind also arrived at the altar, and the two sides encountered soon mixed into a group.

This group of demonic cultivators who came to support, although there were seven or eight people, except for one late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator, the cultivation of the rest was not high, and two of them had only cultivated to the early stage of Qi Refining.

Facing Song Qingming and these Flying Cloud Guards whose strength was obviously stronger, they soon fell into a disadvantage and were beaten by Song Qingming and the others to retreat repeatedly. One early-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator soon died at the hands of Feng Laogui.

The late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivator who was fighting with Wei Tong saw that the demonic cultivators he brought to support were defeated by his opponents one after another, and also knew that this group of people led by Song Qingming had extraordinary strength and were not easy to deal with.

This demonic cultivator saw that the situation was somewhat bad, and he himself was very difficult to take down Wei Tong, his opponent. After pondering for a moment, he also made up his mind. During the battle, he found an opportunity, exploded the demonic energy stored in his body, desperately forced back Wei Tong, abandoned these companions he brought, and fled directly toward the rear of the altar.

Once they saw the leader of the demonic cultivators flee, the few demonic cultivators who were still resisting Song Qingming and the others soon followed his footsteps and chose to flee in a panic one after another.

Two unlucky demonic cultivators were unfortunately entangled by their opponents and soon died at the hands of the crowd.

Seeing this group of demonic cultivators flee, Wei Tong saw that they had already occupied the upper hand in the two battlefields above the altar, and said loudly to the crowd beside him:

"Leave two people to rescue the trapped cultivators on the altar first, and then go to support Captain Lu and the others. The rest follow me to pursue these demonic cultivators. You must not let them escape from here."

Everyone saw that these demonic cultivators had weak strength and were somewhat unbearable, so they all took the initiative to ask to pursue the fleeing demonic cultivators. Only Song Qingming and another cultivator with lower cultivation didn't want to make contributions and chose to stay behind to help.

Lu Yunfei, who was fighting with the purple-clothed demonic cultivator, saw that Wei Tong and the others had already repelled the demonic cultivators who came to support, and felt a burst of joy in his heart, secretly thinking:

"If he can lead this Flying Cloud Guard team to successfully exterminate this group of demonic cultivators, that can also be considered a great contribution to the sect. After returning this time, there will definitely be many merit rewards, plus he has the support of his teachers, maybe he can have a share of the sect's Foundation Establishment Pill quota."

After everyone left, Song Qingming and the other two arrived at the altar. The intense battle below just now didn't wake up any of the comatose cultivators on the altar. The two checked for a while and found that these people had all been restrained in their five senses and spiritual sense by those demonic cultivators and could no longer hear the movement of the outside world at all.

Fortunately, the prohibitions set by these demonic cultivators were only ordinary prohibitions. Song Qingming was originally a formation master and was very familiar with these prohibitions, so he soon broke the prohibitions on these few people one by one.

After the prohibitions were broken, these few people were soon awakened by the movement of the fighting below. These people didn't have high cultivation, the highest one only had the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and they all looked like young cultivators who were still relatively immature. There was even one person who didn't even know how he was caught here.

After waking up and seeing Song Qingming and the other two, they slowly understood that they had been restrained by demonic cultivators and caught here to perform blood sacrifice.

Several people were so scared that they kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, thanking the two for their life-saving grace.

"I am Hu Daozhen, a deacon of the Tianfeng Building in Guiyunfang. Thank you a few fellow Daoists for your life-saving grace. This place is extremely dangerous. Please take me and the others to leave this place together. After returning to Guiyunfang in the future, Hu will definitely find a way to reward you fellow Daoists."

"A few fellow Daoists, no need for extra courtesy, please get up quickly. This place is indeed not a safe place. Please rest assured, everyone don't worry. After killing these demonic cultivators in a while, you can leave here with us."

Song Qingming and the other two looked at these few panicked fellow Daoists and hurriedly comforted them a few words.

After saving these few people, looking at the other two battlefields, the two discussed for a while and decided to join forces to help Shi Mofeng and the other three get out of trouble first, and then join forces to defeat the strongest Gu Liangshan among this group of demonic cultivators. Hu Daozhen, who was at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, heard the discussion between the two and also took the initiative to ask to help.

Lu Yunfei and the purple-clothed demonic cultivator had fought for dozens of rounds. Although he couldn't take down his opponent for a while, Lu Yunfei, relying on the fine magic treasures on his body, had already occupied some upper hand.

Shi Mofeng and the other three, although they were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, were somewhat conservative when facing the enemy, and their cooperation was not very good. Facing Gu Liangshan, who had deep cultivation and was more seasoned in fighting, the three were beaten somewhat timidly at first and were tightly entangled by Gu Liangshan's Soul-Gathering Flag.

After fighting for a while, the three also slowly stabilized their position. Although Gu Liangshan seemed to have occupied the upper hand, he knew very well in his heart that relying on him alone to fight against three late-stage Qi Refining experts was impossible to fight for a long time, so he was somewhat anxious in his heart.

Looking at Song Qingming and the other three who had killed their way over from afar, Gu Liangshan's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he was already pondering how to escape in his heart.

Just as Song Qingming and the other three had just joined the battlefield on Gu Liangshan's side, a panicked sound suddenly came from the distance behind the altar.

"There is a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, everyone... run quickly."
