Chapter 630: Unexpected Surprise, Wu Xiang

This Jin Dan "Black-Scaled Beast's" attack shook the white transparent light shield, making it feel somewhat shaky and on the verge of collapse.

The four "Hundred Flowers Palace" disciples standing in the formation stabilized their figures, then hurriedly waved the formation flags in their hands with all their might, desperately injecting their own magic power into the formation flags to stabilize the great formation above their heads.

Seeing that one strike failed to break the great formation, the "Black-Scaled Beast" raised its head and shot out another black light blade, rushing directly at the white light shield in front of it, causing the entire great formation to start shaking violently again.

After the angry "Black-Scaled Beast" released several attacks in succession, although it did not break the great formation, it also caused the spiritual energy on the white great formation to become chaotic, and it began to show signs of collapse.

That leading woman surnamed Yu, seeing that the great formation seemed unable to hold on for much longer, also turned pale and revealed a bit of despair.

This place is still thousands of miles away from "Wanhu Island," where the sect is located. Even if the nearby sect's Jin Dan Elder has already received the sound transmission, it will take at least an hour to rush here.

The second-grade top-quality great formation in front of them, facing this angry Jin Dan "Black-Scaled Beast," is simply impossible to support for such a long time. It seems that the few of them are doomed today.

Song Qingyu nodded slightly and said: "I am a close friend of Fellow Daoist He Mengxin, and this trip is specifically to visit her!"

The two fought for less than a stick of incense, and this "Black-Scaled Beast" was severely injured by Song Qingyu's natal flying sword, directly cutting off one of its sharp claws, forcing it to only be able to passively parry, without any power to fight back.

After Song Qingming and the others spent a quarter of an hour collecting the valuable materials on the demonic king, Yu Yanting had already found the corpse of the companion who had been killed by the demonic king and returned to the island.

Seeing the other party find her hiding place so quickly, the woman surnamed Yu, who was forced to run out from behind the giant rock to avoid this strike, also revealed a sense of despair.

Hearing the other party say this, Song Qingyu said lightly: "We are not cultivators of the East Sea cultivation world, nor will we stay here for long. There is no need for this repayment."

"Cultivators go out to hunt demonic beasts, nothing more than to obtain some cultivation resources, but people who lose their lives for this are everywhere in the cultivation world."

Song Qingming responded to Song Qingyu with a smile, then checked the number of "Gold Illusion Butterflies" lost in the battle just now before carefully putting away the spirit beast bag in his hand.

Whether in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range or here in the East Sea, similar tragedies are happening all the time in the cultivation world. Song Qingming, who has already become a Jin Dan cultivator, has naturally experienced such things long ago.

Approaching the island and discovering that it was a Jin Dan demonic king, Song Qingming and the other, to prevent accidents, left Huang Siyuan on the beach on the other side of the island before rushing to rescue Yu Yanting and the others.

Relying on her not-low cultivation and happening to have a good flying magic tool on her, the woman surnamed Yu rushed with all her might and retreated to the island before the demonic king could take action against her, directly plunging into the mountain forest and hiding behind a giant rock.

Before the "Black-Scaled Beast" could react from the shock, two other flying swords not far away had already arrived in front of it. The remaining power of the two swords went down, and the unprepared "Black-Scaled Beast" was directly knocked flying, smashing onto the giant rock under the mountain.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Wu!"

Seeing another Jin Dan cultivator come, the "Black-Scaled Beast" also felt very bad and hurriedly tried to rush through the obstruction of the golden mirror with all its might. However, the spiritual light on this golden mirror was also very powerful, and facing the "Black-Scaled Beast's" several fierce impacts, it still stood in front of it as steady as Mount Tai.

Not expecting that this accidental encounter with Yu Yanting and the others would result in them unexpectedly killing a Jin Dan demonic king, for Song Qingming and the others, it was truly an unexpected surprise.

After hearing Yu Yanting's explanation, the middle-aged man's attitude changed slightly. He hurriedly smiled and bowed to Song Qingming again: "This time, Junior-Sister-in-law Yu and the others encountered a disaster, thanks to Fellow Daoist Song's help. I am Wu Xiang of the Hundred Flowers Palace. I will thank the few fellow Daoists on behalf of the sect first!"

"Fellow Daoist Song, please follow me inside to sit for a while. I will send someone to invite Junior-Sister He over immediately!"

Just after jumping off the flying boat, Song Qingming felt a very pure spiritual energy rushing toward his face, making the faces of the group who had been drifting on the sea for several days reveal a sense of refreshment.

Seeing that he was somewhat unable to beat the other party, this "Black-Scaled Beast" let out an annoyed strange cry, then abandoned Song Qingyu and turned direction to retreat, wanting to return to the sea to deal with her again.

Last time when exploring that Nascent Soul cultivator's cave abode in the State of Yue with He Mengxin and the others, Song Qingming also collected a demonic king's divine soul. However, at that time, the second layer of the "Soul-Devouring Art" that Song Qingyu practiced was not yet perfect. Not long after Song Qingming obtained this item, he refined it himself.

Just when the "Black-Scaled Beast" thought this strike was enough to beat back this sword light, unexpectedly, this green sword light suddenly split into three, directly bypassing the black ball and quickly rushing toward the "Black-Scaled Beast" in the rear.

After taking a look at the demonic beast's divine soul in the bottle and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Song Qingming threw it directly to Song Qingyu. "This demonic king's divine soul can just help you break through the Soul-Devouring Art. You keep it well, and try to refine it after you go back!"

After trapping the "Black-Scaled Beast," these colorful spiritual insects kept releasing wind blades, attacking the demonic king in front of them from all directions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, as the "Black-Scaled Beast" smashed the white light shield in front of it with its giant claws, this somewhat annoying second-grade great formation finally could not support it and shattered.

The inner core on this demonic king plus the fur and other demonic beast materials, added together, should be worth about thirty or forty thousand spirit stones. For Song Qingming and the others, it can be considered a small windfall.

The ninth-layer Foundation Establishment woman surnamed Yu who was fleeing forward, seeing the "Black-Scaled Beast" coming toward her side, knowing that she could not outrun the other party in the sea, gritted her teeth and turned back to retreat toward the island.

The moment the great formation was just broken, a golden sword light flew out of the formation, rushing directly toward the abdomen of the "Black-Scaled Beast."

Afterward, this demonic king moved quickly, and its figure immediately disappeared from the spot. Not long after, it caught up with the slowest second-layer Foundation Establishment woman.

Seeing that this demonic king had been executed, Song Qingyu put away the natal magic treasure "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" beside her, and walked toward Song Qingming, who was recovering the "Gold Illusion Butterflies" on the side, with a smile.

"Sorry, this road is blocked!" Following a whisper, a young man with a delicate face suddenly appeared out of thin air beside the "Black-Scaled Beast," staring coldly at the other party.

After Song Qingming and the others traveled forward for about several hundred miles on the flying boat, a golden escape light suddenly flew over from the front, and immediately after, a middle-aged man with a bit of vicissitudes on his face controlled the flying boat under his feet and suddenly blocked the front of the "Phantom Boat."

"Junior Yu Yanting, thank you for saving our lives, seniors!"

"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"

"Cultivating spiritual insects is too cumbersome in the early stage and consumes a lot of resources. You have just formed your Core, so you should focus your energy on improving your cultivation. Let's talk about it after you break through to the second layer of the Jin Dan!"

"Rest assured, I have already asked Yuanfang and the others to find a way to collect spiritual items and increase the effort to cultivate Gold Illusion Butterflies. In the future, if you want them, you can go to the Beast-Controlling Pavilion on the back mountain to get them at any time."

Facing the powerful attack of the natal flying sword magic treasure in Song Qingyu's hand, although the "Black-Scaled Beast" could parry one or two at first, after dozens of rounds, it soon showed a trace of weakness and was suppressed by Song Qingyu's flying sword, falling into a disadvantage.

Hearing Song Qingyu mention the three words Wanhu Island, Yu Yanting revealed a bit of surprise and said: "Senior wants to go to Wanhu Island, could it be that you have something to go to this sect for?"

The cultivation of this "Black-Scaled Beast" is about the same as Song Qingyu's, and it is also a demonic king that has just formed its Core. Also, because it is on land, the power of its divine ability is reduced a lot.

After the fight, the spiritual light on the three green flying swords changed, and soon they merged together, revealing the figure of a green-clothed woman stepping on a flying sword.

However, just as the "Black-Scaled Beast" retreated several hundred feet and was about to approach the coast, several five-colored strong lights suddenly shot from all around, instantly blurring its vision.

After being polite to Wu Xiang, Song Qingming and the others followed him forward for several thousand miles. Not long after, they arrived at a huge island full of green mountains and clear waters, with immortal energy floating.

"It's not safe here, you step back first." Standing on the flying sword, Song Qingyu scanned the other party slightly, then directly ordered her to step back, while she herself stepped on the flying sword and flew directly to the place where the "Black-Scaled Beast" fell.

Seeing that this golden light had some power, a black light shield immediately appeared in front of the "Black-Scaled Beast," forcibly blocking a strike.

When this claw with powerful force hit the green flying sword, it did not, as the "Black-Scaled Beast" imagined, directly smash this somewhat annoying magic tool, but was directly shaken back two steps by the force reflected by the flying sword.

Before Song Qingming could ask about the other party's intention, Yu Yanting and the three beside him saw the person coming and immediately bowed to this middle-aged man in unison.

Seeing the demonic king chasing after her, this white-clothed woman's face also changed greatly. She hurriedly threw out several low-tier spiritual talismans, wanting to delay the other party's pursuit speed.

The middle-aged man first looked at Song Qingming and the others with deep meaning, then nodded to them calmly and returned the bow. Then he turned to Yu Yanting and the three on the side and asked:

"I just received the request for help you sent, so I rushed over. Junior-Sister-in-law Yu, what on earth did you encounter, and why are you with these few fellow Daoists!"

After the few of them boarded the "Phantom Boat" together, it soon turned into a white light and left this nameless small island.

"Seventh Brother! You handle the materials on the demonic beast, I'll go pick up Sister-in-law!" Song Qingyu, who received the jade bottle, responded, immediately put it away, and then turned into a sword light and left the spot.

The woman surnamed Yu, who was still standing below and staring blankly at this scene, after seeing the heroic posture of the green-clothed woman, immediately revealed a sense of unbelievable joy on her face.

Song Qingyu waved her hand at her, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "We just happened to pass by this place and saw the movement of people fighting demonic beasts on this island, so we came closer to take a look. We are all human cultivators, and when there is trouble, we should help each other. You don't need to be so polite."

Although these golden spiritual insects are all second-grade spiritual insects of low grade, and the wind blade divine ability they release is not very strong, the number is really too many. Even this Jin Dan "Black-Scaled Beast," facing the attack of so many spiritual insects, is difficult to break out of the encirclement for a while.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Very well! Then you wait here for a moment. After we finish handling the things on this demonic beast, we will take you on the road together!"

After passing through the "Wanhu Island" sect-protecting great formation, under the guidance of Wu Xiang, the flying boat the group was riding on soon docked on a green mountain peak that towered into the clouds.

Just when the "Black-Scaled Beast" wanted to launch another attack to directly end the life of the woman surnamed Yu, a green sword light suddenly flew over from the sky not far away, rushing directly toward their location with incomparable speed.

However, just as it started to move, a group of golden, colorful spiritual insects suddenly flew over from not far in front of it. There were thousands of these spiritual insects, and they soon surrounded the "Black-Scaled Beast," blocking the other party's way.

"Then thank you, senior!" Yu Yanting and the three nodded with a smile, then left the spot and went to the seaside to look for another companion.

The cultivation of this "Black-Scaled Beast" is not much different from Song Qingyu's, and it is also a demonic king that has just formed its Core. Also, because it is on land, the power of its divine ability is reduced a lot. Now it is completely no match for Song Qingyu.

After the three left, Song Qingming took out a small jade bottle from his storage magic tool, then cast the "Soul-Collecting Technique" at the corpse of the "Black-Scaled Beast" in front of him, directly collecting the demonic king's divine soul into the bottle.

Song Qingming and the others who saw this scene could only sigh helplessly in their hearts.

In the battle just now, although on the surface that "Black-Scaled Beast" killed two or three hundred "Gold Illusion Butterflies," the vast majority of them were illusions created by these spiritual insects. In fact, the total number of spiritual insects killed by the other party was less than twenty.

Taking advantage of the "Black-Scaled Beast" being busy dealing with the second-grade top-quality spiritual talisman just used by the woman surnamed Yu, the "Hundred Flowers Palace" group, who had already lost their way back, immediately flew out of the formation and scattered to escape in all directions.

Unexpectedly, before it could finish casting the spell, a purple light suddenly shot out from the golden mirror, directly fixing the "Black-Scaled Beast's" natal inner core, making it unable to control the inner core to fight the enemy for a while.

After killing the opponent in front of it, the "Black-Scaled Beast" just glanced slightly at the sea surface under its feet, did not care about that person's corpse, and chased after another "Hundred Flowers Palace" disciple not far away.

Just when the "Black-Scaled Beast" tried its best to release a black light group to kill the dozens of spiritual insects flying in the air in front, a sword light killed it in front of it, forcing it back as it prepared to escape the encirclement of spiritual insects.

In this near-shore area, it is very rare for demonic kings above the third grade to appear. Today, they were also very unlucky, not expecting to run into a Jin Dan demonic king who came to take revenge here.

The owner of this sword light was Song Qingyu, who had chased from the rear and had been waiting for work for a while.

This time coming to the East Sea cultivation world, the time Song Qingming and the three spent traveling on the sea already added up to four or five days.

Immediately after, several wide golden mirrors appeared beside it, blocking the direction it wanted to retreat back to the sea.

Just now, when the three passed by the vicinity of the island, they happened to discover the movement of the "Hundred Flowers Palace" group using the formation to resist the demonic beast.

"We just happened to run into it, so we were able to help. Fellow Daoist Wu does not need to be so polite!" Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly waved his hand slightly.

This journey spanned tens of thousands of miles, and they only saw some Qi Condensation demonic beasts that were not climate, not even seeing a single Foundation Establishment demonic beast.

However, such resistance did not have any useful effect. In just a moment, this white-clothed woman was caught up by the "Black-Scaled Beast." After a scream, this white-clothed woman was slapped into the sea by the "Black-Scaled Beast" with one claw.

The "Black-Scaled Beast" saw this and was helpless, so it could only support the body-protecting light shield to block the attacks of these wind blades around it while casting spells to kill these colorful spiritual insects blocking its way.

However, the few of them had only escaped for a hundred or ten zhang, and the "Black-Scaled Beast" had already solved the trouble in front of it.

"You few should be disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace, right? I don't know how far it is from here to Wanhu Island. Please inform me."

For Song Qingming, who already has more than three hundred second-grade "Gold Illusion Butterflies," losing a dozen of these spiritual insects is nothing at all. In the future, as long as he spends some time, he will soon be able to cultivate them again.

Facing the companion who was chatting and laughing together not long ago, who turned into an extremely cold corpse in the blink of an eye, Yu Yanting and the three standing on the flying boat could not help but show a bit of sadness on their faces.

"Then we will disturb you!" Song Qingming and the three responded, then followed Wu Xiang directly into a pavilion not far in front.

The natal inner core was controlled by the other party, and this "Black-Scaled Beast" was also shocked. It hurriedly rushed toward the location of Song Qingming, wanting to interrupt his spellcasting and lift the control of its natal Jin Dan.

"So it is a friend of Junior-Sister He, this is really a coincidence. It is about three thousand miles from here to our Wanhu Island. If you don't mind, senior, we are willing to help lead the way, which might be more convenient for you!"

This unlucky demonic king, although it finally forcibly took back its natal Jin Dan at the cost of being injured, still could not break out of the obstruction of Song Qingming and the other and was killed on the spot by Song Qingyu on this island.

"Seventh Brother, your Gold Illusion Butterfly is really easy to use. It seems that after I go back, I also need to step up the cultivation of some, which will be convenient for future use!"

Seeing this, the woman surnamed Yu hurriedly bowed to thank her, then stepped on the flying magic tool and flew back several hundred feet, only then did she feel at ease watching the battle between Song Qingyu and that "Black-Scaled Beast."

The "Black-Scaled Beast," which had been caught off guard just now, shook off the rubble and dust that had fallen on it, then flew to the high sky and fought with Song Qingyu again.

"This may be just a small effort for you, senior, but it is a life-saving grace for us. Please leave your name so that we may have a chance to repay you in the future."

Song Qingyu, holding this flying sword that emitted powerful force, looked coldly at the "Black-Scaled Beast" in front, then raised her hand and waved lightly. After a sword light was emitted from the giant sword in her hand, her whole figure flashed and she followed and killed toward the location of the "Black-Scaled Beast."

Song Qingming nodded slightly, turned to look at the huge demonic king corpse in front, waved his hand to take out a flying sword, cut an opening in the demonic king's belly, and soon found the black inner core from it. It was the demonic king's inner core of this "Black-Scaled Beast."

Yu Yanting heard this and hurriedly spoke quickly, telling all about the encounter when the few of them were hunting demonic beasts just now, as well as the fact that they were saved by Song Qingming and the three later, and also mentioned that Song Qingming and the three came to find He Mengxin.

Seeing this, the "Black-Scaled Beast" did not want to give the other party a chance again. The spiritual light on the three sword lights beside her shone, and they circled around her body to form a larger green flying sword.

Seeing this, the "Black-Scaled Beast" immediately gave up on the woman surnamed Yu in front, turned its head and spat out a black ball, rushing directly toward the green sword light attacking here.

Seeing this, Song Qingming and the others also knew that the person coming should be a Jin Dan Elder in the "Hundred Flowers Palace," so they hurriedly bowed to him slightly.

During the conversation between the two, the Hundred Flowers Palace disciple who had just escaped a disaster and was still lingering in fear, and the other two who had returned to the island after seeing that the situation was not right, also summoned the courage to walk over together and bowed respectfully to Song Qingming and the two.

"Since you fellow Daoists are here to find Junior-Sister He, you are also honored guests of our Hundred Flowers Palace. Please rest on our sect's Welcoming Peak for a while!"

Seeing this scene, the "Black-Scaled Beast" was also surprised in its heart, then took the initiative to step forward and slapped one of the flying swords with its sharp claws, and a sound of fierce collision rang out instantly.

After chasing to the sky above the island, the "Black-Scaled Beast" scanned the surroundings, then immediately waved an invisible wind blade at the giant rock not far in front, directly cutting off the hope of the woman surnamed Yu wanting to continue hiding here.

After several attempts, seeing that it still could not rush over, and there was another sword light following closely from the rear, the "Black-Scaled Beast" opened its big mouth and spat out a black inner core, wanting to use its natal inner core to cast divine abilities and forcibly open a path for itself.

After the few of them sat down, soon several "Hundred Flowers Palace" female disciples brought a few cups of fragrant spiritual tea to them.

After chatting and drinking tea with Wu Xiang in a living room for a while, a laugh that the few of them were somewhat familiar with soon came from the door. "Qingyu! It really is you who came."

Song Qingyu, who was sitting on the side, stood up immediately upon hearing this and walked quickly toward her with a happy face. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
