Chapter 737: Sword Shadow Transformation Technique, Killing the Demonic King (Seeking Monthly Votes)

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, she moved her hand forward and pointed, and the five "Xuanming Golden Light Swords" surrounding her body immediately flourished with spiritual light, emitting a powerful pressure.

Afterward, the "Xuanming Golden Light Swords" turned into five sharp sword lights, divided into several different directions, and broke through the air toward the direction of the "White Rhino Demonic King."

The "White Rhino Demonic King" lost to Song Qingyu last time, and also knew that the other party was not easy to deal with. If it encountered it in the wild, it might have already turned around and run away like last time.

But now that Song Qingyu had killed its lair, it had already touched the bottom line of the demonic king’s majesty. Naturally, the "White Rhino Demonic King" would not easily give way again. Seeing the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" attacking again, the "White Rhino Demonic King" let out a roar, immediately summoned a white iron shield to block in front of it, and blocked all the sword lights attacked by Song Qingyu.

Although it had no way to retreat, the "White Rhino Demonic King" was not a brainless demonic king. It knew that it would be very difficult to take down Song Qingyu, a strong opponent, by itself.

Just after blocking Song Qingyu’s attack, the "White Rhino Demonic King" immediately sent a voice transmission into the air, asking for help from other demonic kings near "White Lion Ridge."

Afterward, another roar resounded through the entire spiritual mountain, and it began to summon the low-grade demonic beasts nearby to help it fight.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu didn't want to give the other party too many opportunities, and immediately controlled her natal flying sword to merge into one, once again holding a huge "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" and slashing hard at the other party’s head, fighting fiercely with the "White Rhino Demonic King."

Although Song Qingyu’s magic power and supernatural powers were a bit higher, the "White Rhino Demonic King" had a defensive magic treasure with good power. Fighting with it desperately, it didn't fall into much disadvantage for a while.

Even if it knew that it might not be able to beat Song Qingyu in front of it, as long as it could delay time as much as possible and wait for the demonic kings nearby to come to help, the "White Rhino Demonic King" still had great confidence in repelling these enemies and guarding its spiritual mountain.

However, the "White Rhino Demonic King" had just fought with Song Qingyu for less than a dozen rounds, and suddenly two streaks of light not weaker than Song Qingyu appeared in the distance, rushing toward its location quickly.

These two streaks of light were Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, who had rushed to support after receiving the news. It was just that their locations were further away, so they were a bit slower than Song Qingyu.

Seeing that there was more than one Core Formation cultivator on the other side, the "White Rhino Demonic King" was shocked, and it didn't care about guarding its spiritual mountain anymore. It flashed and broke away from the battle, wanting to flee to the distance.

However, Song Qingyu, who was fighting with it, couldn't let it do as it wished. Seeing that the "White Rhino Demonic King" wanted to escape, she immediately used a "Sword Shadow Transformation Technique," and with the help of her natal flying sword, she transformed into five clones to block the demonic king in front.

This "Sword Shadow Transformation Technique" was a powerful supernatural power that Song Qingyu realized and cultivated from the sword intent in her body after breaking through to the fifth level of Core Formation.

The clones split by Song Qingyu using this technique were not virtual illusion techniques, but were also the same as the main body and could help her fight against the enemy, which was equivalent to letting her add several helpers to help for a while.

It was just that the magic power and supernatural powers of these clones summoned by natal magic treasures were not as strong as the main body, and they could probably only exert one-third of Song Qingyu’s usual strength.

Moreover, it was extremely exhausting to her own magic power to cast a "Sword Shadow Transformation Technique." Song Qingyu’s current cultivation could at most maintain these clones for a quarter of an hour, and she couldn't rely on them to fight for a long time.

Having just broken away from the battle and not fled far, the "White Rhino Demonic King" was blocked by the joint efforts of Song Qingyu’s two clones. Wanting to change direction, there were three more clones surrounding it, making it unable to escape the battlefield smoothly for a while.

The "White Rhino Demonic King," which was entangled by Song Qingyu’s "Sword Shadow Transformation Technique," saw that it could not get rid of its opponent, and helplessly opened its big mouth and spat out its natal inner core.

Afterward, it cast a spell to desperately urge the inner core, and once released hundreds of sharp spikes, wanting to force back these clones that were entangled with it.

However, facing this desperate and desperate blow of the "White Rhino Demonic King," Song Qingyu, who had fought with it, was obviously prepared. Before the other party launched an attack, she immediately controlled these clones to lean together and jointly cast a shield to block the other party’s killing move.

Taking advantage of these clones defending against its natal inner core attack, the "White Rhino Demonic King" hurriedly put away its inner core and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. It was just that what it didn't expect was that Song Qingming’s main body had already blocked in front of it with two flying swords first.

"Humph! I already said you can't leave today, why do you still want to run!"

Seeing the provocative look on Song Qingyu’s face, the "White Rhino Demonic King" was also furious at this moment, and spat out its natal inner core again, wanting to cast a supernatural power to force back Song Qingyu who was blocking in front of it.

Just as the "White Rhino Demonic King" was desperately casting spells, several purple lights suddenly shot out from mid-air, fixing its natal inner core in mid-air, unable to move for a while.

Seeing this strange scene, the "White Rhino Demonic King" was shocked, cast a spell to take back its natal inner core, but found that the inner core, which was usually inseparable from it, seemed to be imprisoned by someone, and suddenly lost control.

"Husband, this demonic king’s natal inner core has been controlled by you, and it has no powerful supernatural powers. I think you don't need to do it anymore, just leave it to me and Qingyu."

"That’s fine! You two just feel free to take action, I will suppress the formation."

Song Qingming, who was controlling the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to control the other party’s inner core in mid-air, saw the "White Rhino Demonic King" who was already panicked, revealed a light smile, and nodded to Huang Siyuan on the side.

The "White Rhino Demonic King’s" strength was not as good as Song Qingyu’s, and after losing its natal inner core, its supernatural powers were immediately weakened by three points. Soon, it was beaten by the two women and retreated repeatedly.

At first, the "White Rhino Demonic King" could rely on the shield magic treasure in its hand to block Song Qingyu’s fierce attack, but after Huang Siyuan joined the battlefield, it couldn't hold on anymore after being attacked by the two women together.

Song Qingyu cultivated the way of sword cultivation that was proficient in killing and cutting, and her fighting ability was already stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level. After Huang Siyuan broke through to the fourth level of Core Formation, her strength also advanced by leaps and bounds. The two of them joined forces, even if they encountered ordinary late-stage Core Formation demonic kings, they could fight.

The "White Rhino Demonic King" that lost its natal inner core faced the attack of the two, and it was already too busy to parry, and it didn't have a trace of ability to fight back, let alone wanting to get away and escape.

The "White Rhino Demonic King" wanted to summon the low-grade demonic beasts under its command to help, but they had all been firmly blocked in the distance by Song Changze and others leading the cultivator army, and they couldn't protect themselves, let alone come to rescue it.

Although it had successfully sent a signal to ask for help before, the nearest demonic king territory was at least two thousand miles away from here.

At such a long distance, even if a late-stage Core Formation demonic king received the news and rushed at full speed, it would take at least half a quarter of an hour to arrive at "White Lion Ridge."

Song Qingming on the side had not yet taken action, and the "White Rhino Demonic King" was already struggling to support, and it was impossible to have a chance to wait for reinforcements to arrive. [7

In the end, after holding out for less than a quarter of an hour, this "White Rhinoceros Demon King," which had reached the end of its rope, was, unsurprisingly, slain by Song Qingyu with a single sword strike in mid-air.

Seeing that the demon king was dead, Song Qingming immediately cast a spell to collect the demon core not far away.

Just as he was about to step forward to congratulate Song Qingyu and the other who had slain the demon king, Song Qingming heard a clap of thunder from the northern sky, followed immediately by the pressure unique to Golden Core cultivators coming from afar.

"It must be the demon king's reinforcements; they have arrived so quickly!"

Song Qingyu, who had also seen the massive disturbance in the distance, immediately guessed that it must be the demon kings from the vicinity who had come to support "White Lion Ridge."

Seeing this, Song Qingyu did not even bother to collect the materials from the "White Rhinoceros Demon King" below and hurriedly joined Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan in taking the initiative to meet the black clouds where the demon kings were located.

Just as human cultivators knew how to support one another, the many demon kings of the demon race were also well-versed in this principle. Unless they happened to meet outside, if one wanted to go deep into the Fuyun Mountain Range to attack a demon king, one had to be prepared at all times to deal with the reinforcements it would call.

In the black clouds above the sky, a snow-white "White Egret Demon King" and another black-armored giant bull standing several zhang tall were rushing toward "White Lion Ridge" at full speed.

The "White Egret Demon King" controlling the black clouds only had the strength of an early-stage Golden Core, while the black-armored giant bull demon king's cultivation was much higher, having already reached the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core.

The spirit mountains where these two demon kings were located were not far from "White Lion Ridge," only a few thousand miles away. After receiving the distress signal from the "White Rhinoceros Demon King," they had immediately organized their subordinate demon beast armies to come and support it.

However, although they had chosen to abandon their demon beast armies and arrive at "White Lion Ridge" ahead of time, they were still one step too late; at this moment, the "White Rhinoceros Demon King" had already died at the hands of the three members of the Song family.

Before the two demon kings could even reach the spirit mountain before them, they suddenly saw three streaks of light flying from the mountain and approaching them rapidly. Seeing this scene, the two demon kings felt a sense of impending doom.

Seeing clearly that the arrivals were actually three powerful human Golden Core cultivators, the two demon kings' expressions changed drastically. Not daring to continue forward, they turned around directly and fled rapidly away from "White Lion Ridge."

Seeing these two demon kings retreat so sensibly, the three members of the Song family were not too surprised.

Although the two demon kings that arrived were, like the "White Rhinoceros Demon King," only early-to-mid-stage Golden Core demon kings of average strength, they were simply no match for the three members of the Song family and naturally did not dare to take the initiative to engage them in battle.

However, if the opponents were determined to flee, pursuing them would inevitably mean going deeper into the Fuyun Mountain Range, and the three of them did not dare to pursue them relentlessly.

If they happened to encounter other, more powerful demon kings halfway, it would likely be dangerous. In order not to invite further trouble, the three of them only followed for a dozen miles to confirm that the opponents had truly left before immediately returning to "White Lion Ridge." This time, in order to capture the third-grade spirit vein of "White Lion Ridge," the Song family had made very sufficient preparations, and their cultivator strength was far greater than that of the demon beast side.

Without the interference of the "White Rhinoceros Demon King," the human cultivators led by Song Changze were suddenly like a hot knife through butter. Except for a small number of low-level demon beasts that were lucky enough to slip out of the encirclement, the vast majority of the demon beasts were slaughtered on the spirit mountain.

By the time the three of them returned to the mountain, the battles on the various battlefields of "White Lion Ridge" were already nearing their end, with only a small number of demon beasts trapped on the mountain peak still resisting.

After the Golden Core ancestor Song Qingyu returned to the battlefield, she immediately stepped forward to help and joined the battle. One could see her flying sword dancing across the battlefield, and immediately, a large swath of low-level demon beasts fell.

Seeing this, the remaining demon beasts lost their final courage to resist and could only scatter and flee in all directions. Not long after, they were all completely slaughtered by the human cultivators.

After the battle ended, Song Qingming immediately took out a third-grade mountain-protecting array that had been prepared long ago and led a team of array master cultivators to begin setting up the mountain-protecting array on the spirit mountain, while Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan went to deal with the corpse of the "White Rhinoceros Demon King."

After receiving the instructions, Song Changze immediately arranged for the family cultivators to begin cleaning up the battlefield, searching for those remaining fish that had slipped through the net and were hiding in caves, and treating the injured cultivators in a timely manner.

In this battle, not only was the "White Rhinoceros Demon King" slain, but everyone also harvested materials from nearly a thousand demon beasts at once, including more than a dozen second-grade or higher demon beasts with relatively high value.

In addition to this, "White Lion Ridge," this third-grade low-tier spirit vein, had been occupied by demon beasts for many years, and there were also many various types of naturally grown spirit herbs and spirit fruits on it.

As for the human cultivator side, because they were well-prepared and their strength far exceeded that of the demon race, only a few dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators died in battle, and among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, only Song Changze and others suffered minor injuries; there were no major losses.

For this battle, the Song family had prepared for several months in advance and had once again summoned so many cultivators to come, and even all three family ancestors had come out of the mountain to this place. Being able to successfully capture such rich results was already within the expectations of everyone in the Song family.

Having just won a great victory and captured this third-grade spirit mountain that had been occupied by a demon king for many years, the many cultivators on the mountain were all beaming with joy at this moment.

These demon beast materials and spirit items were the spoils of this battle. According to past rules, the Song family would naturally have to reward based on merit after the battle, and every cultivator who came to participate in the battle was looking forward to this in their hearts.

Just as the battle on the mountain ended, Song Yuanxue immediately led dozens of Song family cultivators to begin searching everywhere. These people had all learned some spirit planting skills and knew how to identify the value of various spirit herbs.

Under the leadership of these spirit planters, the Song family cultivators found more than a dozen second-grade spirit herbs of varying quality on the mountain, and finally, they unexpectedly discovered a third-grade spirit fruit tree that was over a thousand years old in a cave dwelling on the mountain peak.

It was a pity that everyone arrived a little late; the mature spirit fruits on this fruit tree had already been devoured by the demon beasts, and it was estimated that it would take several decades for the remaining spirit fruits to mature.

However, although they did not find mature spirit fruits, just this third-grade spirit fruit tree that could enhance the family's foundation was of no low value in the eyes of everyone in the Song family.

After Song Yuanxue and the others discovered the fruit tree, they immediately sealed it with an array, waiting to find a suitable time in the future to find a way to transplant it to the "Mount Funiu" family spirit herb garden.

In order to prevent anyone from privately embezzling high-level spirit items during the chaos, Song Changze and Liu Yuxin and others immediately concentrated the entire cultivator army on the mountain peak after cleaning up the battlefield.

It was only after the family finished searching for those second-grade or higher spirit items of relatively high value that they gave them one day to sweep up the remaining spirit items on the mountain.

The reason the Song family did this was also considered a small reward for these cultivators who responded to the call to come and participate in the battle, allowing them to gain a little opportunity based on their respective luck after the great battle.

Learning that there was still an opportunity to search for spirit items themselves, the many cultivators on the mountain who heard this news were immediately overjoyed, their hearts filled with immense excitement.

Especially those rogue cultivators who had been living in very straitened circumstances, for them, even being able to obtain a single mature low-tier spirit herb was worth being happy about, and they were already deeply grateful to the Song family for this move in their hearts.

Although when these cultivators were allowed to search the spirit mountain, the family law enforcement team had repeatedly exhorted them that no matter what spirit item it was, whoever found it first would own it, and others were not allowed to use that as an excuse to cause trouble and snatch others' opportunities.

However, the spirit items on the mountain were limited, and it was inevitable that disputes would arise when there were many people. Not long after, several cultivators had conflicts over competing for spirit items, and the low-level cultivators under the Huang family and Li family almost fought because of this.

Fortunately, the law enforcement team led by Song Yuanhao and others had been watching from the sidelines and immediately stepped forward to stop them and confiscate the spirit items, which prevented the situation from further escalating.

Spending a full month at "White Lion Ridge," with the assistance of many low-level array masters, Song Qingming finally successfully channeled the earth vein spiritual energy to set up the mountain-protecting array on "White Lion Ridge."

Looking at the activated mountain-protecting array that had already enveloped the entire spirit mountain, Song Qingming, with a calm expression, waved his hand and summoned a masked man clad in black robes.

Subsequently, under Song Qingming's command, the black-robed man stepped forward, gathered his spiritual power, and struck the array with all his might.

Only hearing a loud "bang," a fierce gust of wind immediately rippled around the array, blowing the clothes on Song Qingming's body until they immediately fluttered.

A moment later, when the fierce wind dissipated, looking at the unscathed mountain-protecting array before him, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Song Qingming's face, and he nodded with great satisfaction.

Because he did not have a suitable mountain-protecting array on hand, Song Qingming directly dismantled the third-grade low-tier array from the original "Jinshan Workshop" and moved it here, planning to replace it after finding suitable materials to refine a better array in the future.

Although the grade of this mountain-protecting array was only third-grade low-tier, its defensive capability was still very outstanding.

Song Qingming had just tested it and saw that this array could easily block a full-strength strike from a fifth-level Golden Core "Jin Feng," and its power was even a bit stronger than when it was set up at "Jinshan Workshop" before.

This was also thanks to the fact that the spirit vein of "White Lion Ridge" had already reached the third-grade low-tier, which was far higher than the second-grade high-tier spirit vein of "Jinshan Workshop," so the power the array could exert naturally increased quite a bit.

With this mountain-protecting array guarding it, except for encountering those powerful late-stage Golden Core great demon kings, it would be very difficult for ordinary demon kings to have the opportunity to break the array and pose a threat to "White Lion Ridge" in a short period of time.

After putting away the "Jin Feng" not far away, Song Qingming turned and fled into the array, flying toward the location of the mountain peak.

After a month of cleaning, there were now absolutely no traces of demon beasts on "White Lion Ridge," and everywhere there were human cultivators building courtyards and pavilions and opening up cave dwellings, slowly taking on the appearance of a human immortal mountain and spiritual land.

After Song Qingming arrived at the mountain peak, he went directly into a small pavilion that had just been built not long ago. At this time, Song Changze, Liu Yuxin, and several other Foundation Establishment elders of the Song family were sitting in the main hall discussing some matters regarding the subsequent renovation of the spirit mountain.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" Seeing Song Qingming walk in, everyone hurriedly rose and stepped forward to pay their respects! Song Qingming smiled and nodded at them, then went directly to a chair at the head of the table and sat down!

Scanning the crowd, Song Qingming asked Song Changze, who was to the side, "Has there been any news from Yuanhao and the others? Have those few spirit veins been captured?"

"Reporting to Ancestor! Yuanhao already sent a message to report this matter two days ago. Currently, the six spirit veins near the west side have all been captured by them, leaving only two second-grade high-tier spirit veins that are difficult to fight still in the hands of the demon beasts.

Great-Aunt already went to help yesterday, and it is estimated that in a few more days, they should have cleared that side and returned.

As for the five second-grade spirit veins on the east side, the Li family and the Huang family each led people to conquer one, the several families in Pingyang County also joined forces to capture two, and there is one more that was captured by the Foundation Establishment rogue cultivator Jin Boyuan, who borrowed troops from us.

Currently, most of the dozen or so second-grade spirit veins south of White Lion Ridge have already been conquered by us, and Xuanting and the others are also racing against time to set up the mountain-protecting arrays."

After occupying "White Lion Ridge," Song Qingming, while sitting here setting up the mountain-protecting array, immediately sent out the cultivators under the family's command to go and attack the many second-grade spirit veins near that side.

These second-grade spirit veins were also occupied by many demon beasts, and there was no shortage of second-grade or higher Foundation Establishment demon beasts. In order to conquer these spirit veins, Song Qingming also dispersed all the cultivators on the mountain, letting them go and clear these places one by one.

Firstly, they had just conquered "White Lion Ridge" and had not yet gained a firm foothold. To prevent other demon kings from leading demon beast armies to counterattack here, Song Qingming and the others could not easily get away.

Secondly, it was also to temper these family juniors, giving them some opportunities to fight head-on with demon beasts and exercise their combat abilities on the battlefield. Although it was an order from the family ancestor, faced with such a great opportunity to perform meritorious service, everyone naturally did not want to miss it.

Not only were the many cultivators in the Song family high-spirited, but even the vassal families under their command and some rogue cultivators who had been hired to come and help also requested to fight one after another, wanting to perform meritorious service so they could receive more rewards in the future.

Regarding this, Song Qingming naturally did not refuse, so he directly divided a portion of the spirit mountains and gave them to them to go and attack, and promised that as long as they successfully captured the spirit mountains, he would directly bestow these spirit veins upon them.

This immediately moved not only those Foundation Establishment families but also those rogue cultivators who were determined to create a cultivation family; they also ran over to ask the Song family to borrow troops, wanting to capture a spirit vein and find a good spirit mountain to take root for their future families.

Under the active participation of many cultivators, in less than a month, these dozen or so spirit mountains were captured by human cultivators one after another, and they set up arrays on them to station themselves.
