Chapter 829: One Move Short, The Great Battle Ends

Seeing that the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" could not do anything to the other party, Song Qingming immediately took back his natal magic treasure.

Then, he didn't hesitate too much, released a sound transmission talisman to the top of the valley, and his whole person flashed with light and retreated, wanting to fly back to the top of the valley.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Fourth Senior Brother Zheng Xingyun could be confused by the other party, which meant that the Yun-surnamed woman’s real cultivation would definitely not be below the Nascent Soul.

It was almost impossible for Song Qingming alone to want to defeat the other party.

For Song Qingming, the best choice was to hurry to report to the top of the valley and withdraw first.

Even if Master "Daoist Lingxu" could not get away at this moment, there were many "Grand Void Gate" disciples like First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong above the valley.

As long as they could receive Song Qingming’s message and rush over quickly, with so many fellow disciples attacking together, this woman would definitely not be able to escape the siege of the crowd as long as she was not a Soul Transformation or higher cultivator.

Just after Song Qingming sent the sound transmission talisman, the sky above his head suddenly turned black. He saw a huge black cloud mist under the guidance of the Yun-surnamed woman’s single finger, which soon covered the sky above Song Qingming’s head.

Then, Song Qingming saw the sound transmission talisman he had just sent being instantly intercepted when it passed through the black cloud mist, turning into a tiny spark and disappearing between heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoist is only a small Golden Core cultivator. In front of me, I advise you not to think about playing such small tricks.

If you walk in obediently and don't disturb my business, perhaps you can save your life. This is also the last chance for you to survive.

I usually don't give others such opportunities easily; today it is already an exception for you."

The Yun-surnamed woman’s mouth was full of seductive words, and her gaze was fixed on Song Qingming’s face while speaking, but she didn't see a trace of the change she wanted from Song Qingming.

Seeing that the report failed and the retreat was blocked by the other party, Song Qingming’s gaze didn't hesitate too much, and he turned to face the other party directly.

"Haha! Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for raising me. However, I have practiced for so many years and don't have the habit of handing over my life to others.

I am not your opponent, but now that life and death are at stake, I cannot have too many choices. Let me try how powerful your magical powers can be."

The other party’s cultivation was obviously much higher than his, but she still chose to use coercion and inducement to force Song Qingming to give up resistance.

This also let Song Qingming see that the other party was a bit afraid that the movement of the fight would be too big, which would attract the attention of the cultivators above the valley, so she didn't directly take action against them, but chose to use illusion to control them.

Now, although he couldn't defeat the other party, the Yun-surnamed woman still needed to be distracted to control Zheng Xingyun and the others, and she didn't dare to make too much noise, which was also a good breakthrough opportunity for Song Qingming.

He didn't need to defeat the other party, as long as he could let the fellow disciples above the valley discover the movement below, perhaps there would be a glimmer of survival.

After speaking! Song Qingming patted the spiritual beast bag on his body and summoned "Golden Wind," "Silver Armor," and a third-level high-grade "White Lion Puppet Beast" all at once beside him.

"Oh! You have quite a few small things on you, which really surprised me. It’s rare to see someone with such ambition, but I don't have the time to play with you here all the time."

The Yun-surnamed woman’s spiritual power moved, and a human figure exactly the same as her appearance was suddenly transformed in the black cloud mist in mid-air.

As soon as this person appeared, Song Qingming felt the pressure and momentum that only a Nascent Soul cultivator would have, and he couldn't help but show a look of ugliness. After summoning a clone, the Yun-surnamed woman ignored Song Qingming and turned to look at the sealing formation on the stone platform behind her.

On Song Qingming’s side, looking at the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone rushing toward him, he also frowned slightly.

Without giving Song Qingming too much time to ponder, the attack of the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone had already arrived in front of him.

Although it was only a Nascent Soul early-stage puppet clone, not a real Nascent Soul cultivator, its momentum and speed were definitely not something a Golden Core cultivator could compare to.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately manipulated "Golden Wind" and "Silver Armor" in front of him to change positions and quickly formed the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" with them.

Just after the "Puppet Formation" was formed, the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone attacked Song Qingming with a streak of sword light, stabbing the middle of the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" rune.

With a loud "boom," the two sides separated quickly after one blow.

Song Qingming successfully blocked the other party’s attack, but was also forced back several steps. Before Song Qingming could catch his breath, a second sword light forced over in mid-air not far away.

This time, while Song Qingming manipulated the "Puppet Formation" to resist the other party, he also had a red flying sword in his hand, slashing at the other party. After the collision, the two sides separated again quickly.

Because Song Qingming desperately activated the "Li Fire Red Heart Sword" to counterattack, although it didn't cause much damage to the other party, it also clearly slowed down the rhythm of the other party’s attack.

Before, Song Qingming had used the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" to fight against a real Nascent Soul cultivator. Although the result was a bit tragic, Song Qingming still relied on this formation to block two fierce attacks from Qiu Daoping.

This was also the greatest confidence Song Qingming had to deal with the other party at this moment.

Compared with Qiu Daoping, whose Nascent Soul was separated at that time, the strength of the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone was still slightly weaker, only at the level of a Nascent Soul first-layer cultivator.

Moreover, Song Qingming’s cultivation had now broken through to the ninth layer of Golden Core, coupled with a more powerful third-level high-grade "White Lion Puppet Beast," the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" he performed again was also much stronger than that year.

At this moment, facing the attack of the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone, although Song Qingming felt great pressure, he had not yet shown signs of defeat and could contend with the other party for a while.

And the Yun-surnamed woman’s main body, at this moment, put all her thoughts on destroying the seal on the stone platform. She lifted her single hand again and slashed directly at the second copper ear of the bronze giant tripod above.

After spending some effort, she still successfully slashed the second ear off the bronze tripod.

Seeing this, the Yun-surnamed woman’s face also showed a bit of satisfaction, and then she quickly turned to the third bronze giant ear not far away.

Just as she was about to take action here, a loud noise suddenly came from behind, slightly interrupting her movement.

"Oh! This is the Puppet Formation, no wonder it can hold on for so long, so that’s it."

Seeing Song Qingming, who was still relying on the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" to fight against her clone not far away, the Yun-surnamed woman showed a few surprises.

Even if he was still no match for the other party, Song Qingming, while fighting and retreating, occasionally activated several fourth-level magic treasures in his hand to counterattack the other party.

Although it didn't cause any major damage to the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone, the momentum of the fight didn't lose to the other party, and the movement of the fight between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing this, the Yun-surnamed woman also guessed Song Qingming’s intention to make a big movement, couldn't help but laugh lightly, ignored him, and turned to attack the sealing formation again.

Although Song Qingming relied on the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation" to contend with her clone, the burden on his spiritual power caused by activating the formation was also very large.

That he could persist until now was already beyond the Yun-surnamed woman’s surprise.

At the moment, it looked like the fight was very fierce, but Song Qingming’s defeat was not far away.

Not long after, just as the Yun-surnamed woman was about to destroy the third bronze giant ear, a streak of azure sword light suddenly appeared in the distance, illuminating the originally very dark sky, making her look up.

In the next moment, seeing Song Qingming suddenly release a powerful golden light group toward the sky above his head, the Yun-surnamed woman immediately felt that something was wrong, and her gaze turned cold, manipulating the clone in the distance to flash and intercept the light group.

But Song Qingming obviously guessed this point, intercepted in front of her one step ahead, and activated the last power of the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation," vowing to block the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone.

"Get out!"

Seeing Song Qingming desperately blocking her, the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone suddenly changed its momentum, suddenly erupted with a powerful force, and turned into a very fierce sword light.

The power of this sword light was much stronger than before, and it knocked Song Qingming and several puppet beasts blocking the front away with one sword.

After fighting for so long, Song Qingming’s own spiritual power had long been exhausted. Even if he desperately activated the "Ten Thousand Spirit Puppet Formation," he still failed to hinder the other party for a moment and was directly defeated by the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone.

Not only that, the other party’s blow was not weak just now. Even with the formation sharing most of the damage, Song Qingming was still beaten by it to spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fell directly to the bottom of the valley.

After repelling Song Qingming, the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone did not delay, flashed again, and went straight to the golden light group above. Before the other party approached the black cloud mist above, she pierced it with one sword.

After being pierced by the sword Qi, the scattered golden light group suddenly moved, turning into thousands of "Golden Illusion Butterflies" and flying toward the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone.

Seeing these suddenly appearing spiritual insects, the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone’s mouth couldn't help but lift lightly, obviously not putting them in her eyes, just waving a sword lightly and beheading hundreds of "Golden Illusion Butterflies."

But although the sword light released by the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone was powerful, these spiritual insects in front of her were not afraid of death. As soon as they were beaten away, they quickly surrounded her again, and the black mass of them was a bit scary in number.

"Overestimating your capabilities!"

Seeing the thousands of "Golden Illusion Butterflies" attacking again, just as the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone’s sword light also released hundreds of sword Qi, before long, most of the many spiritual insects in front were beheaded. But, at this time, in the black cloud mist in mid-air, a loud noise suddenly came, and then a streak of somewhat dazzling golden light lit up inside.

"This is, where did the high-level spiritual talisman come from? Could it be that it was hidden in these insects just now."

Seeing the golden light penetrating from the black cloud mist, the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone’s face turned pale, and even the main body that was breaking the sealing formation below stopped the spell-casting action in her hand.

And at this time, Song Qingming, who had already fallen to the bottom of the valley, also showed a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth. The opportunity he had desperately fought for just now finally deceived the other party’s eyes.

In the previous battle, Song Qingming deliberately made such a big movement, but the other party didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and didn't worry about the sound of the fight spreading to the top of the valley.

This also let Song Qingming guess that the black cloud mist above his head should have a special isolation restriction, covering up the movement at the bottom of the valley.

For this reason, Song Qingming understood that the only chance he could have to pass the situation below to the top was to directly attack the black cloud mist above his head.

As long as he could break this restriction, or his attack could make enough noise to pass to the top, he could interrupt the other party’s plan.

Therefore, after circling with the other party for a while, Song Qingming came up with a plan to use a feint to attack the east and hide a needle in the embroidery.

He hid a fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman on his body in the golden light group transformed by the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" in advance, using the illusion formed by many spiritual insects to cover it up.

When the Yun-surnamed woman’s clone beat Song Qingming back, she thought the other party just wanted to use spiritual insects to attack the restriction above, but she didn't expect that the thousands of "Golden Illusion Butterflies" were all tricks he used.

Song Qingming’s true intention was a fourth-level low-grade spiritual talisman hidden among many spiritual insects.

Whether it was to stop the Yun-surnamed woman from opening the "True Demon seal" on the stone platform, or for his own life, Song Qingming had no other choice at the moment but to fight like this.

Fortunately, his efforts finally lived up to expectations and played a role, letting First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong and others in the valley above see a glimmer of light coming from the valley.

"Not good, the situation below is wrong, follow me down, Junior Brothers."

Originally, Song Qingming and the others went down to find the Yun-surnamed woman, and Fu Jinglong was secretly worried. Seeing the sudden light, he instantly understood that something must have happened in the valley.

Seeing this, Fu Jinglong hurriedly sent the news to his master "Daoist Lingxu," and then led the crowd beside him to rush into the valley.

Fu Jinglong and the others, who had just arrived at the bottom of the valley, saw a huge black cloud mist covering the top, and were shocked, hurriedly starting to attack this restriction.

But, before they could break through the restriction, a golden sword light had already descended from the sky, and with just one blow, it dispersed the black cloud mist in front of them. It was the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" who had originally been guarding outside the "protective mountain formation."

The reason why he would move his external incarnation to rush over personally was because "Daoist Lingxu" was worried about the "True Demon seal" at the bottom of the valley and had to take the initiative to make some trade-offs.

After breaking the restriction formed by the black cloud mist, seeing that the sealing giant tripod that suppressed the True Demon body had been damaged in several formation eyes, everyone showed a look of surprise and hurriedly went straight to the stone platform where the sealing formation was located.

At this time, in mid-air not far from the crowd, a black light, taking advantage of the fact that everyone’s attention was on the stone platform, followed the gradually dissipating black clouds and quietly fled into the distance.

But even if her figure was very hidden, it was still difficult to deceive the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" standing in place. With a pause in his gaze, he chased after her directly.

"Monster, where are you going!"

Seeing that her figure was exposed, the black light no longer continued to cover up and accelerated her escape into the distance.

But even if she was proficient in escape speed, her cultivation was obviously still not as good as the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu," and before long, she was blocked in mid-air.

After casting a spell to trap the black light in a mass of sword Qi, the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" looked at the Yun-surnamed woman with black Qi on her body and asked with full confusion: "Your magical powers are so powerful, it seems you are not in the same group as Bone-White and the others. Who are you?"

"Haha! You guessed wrong. I am in the same group as Bone-White and the others, but I am not their disciple, but a helper they invited!"

Hearing the other party’s answer, the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" smiled faintly: "Just a helper? I don't remember any such powerful character among these Nascent Soul demonic cultivators in the demonic path.

Even if you don't say it, I have a way to deal with you!"

After the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" finished speaking, a golden light immediately appeared in his hand.

Seeing that the other party wanted to perform some magical power to explore the secrets on her body, the Yun-surnamed woman didn't show any fear at all and shook her head directly at the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu":

"Lingxuzi, one move short today, failing to get what I wanted, is my skill not as good as others. But you think that capturing me will let you know everything, that is thinking too much."

After the Yun-surnamed woman finished speaking, a burst of flames suddenly ignited on her body. Before long, her figure disappeared into the sword Qi.

Feeling that the other party’s entire aura had completely disappeared, the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" also frowned slightly, somewhat surprised: "It seems this should not be the main body. I didn't expect that among demonic cultivators, there could be someone who could control the external incarnation to such a realistic state. It really makes me feel ashamed of myself."

After muttering to himself in place, the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" waved his hand to disperse the remaining ashes in mid-air, and after a while, flashed and left the spot.

At the same time, at the mountain gate location of the "Grand Void Gate," a man sitting on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and sighed unwillingly: "Song Qingming! Staying here for so long, how come I didn't see that this guy, who looks ordinary, could have such magical powers! I didn't expect that after so much painstaking management, it would fall short in the end. How could I calculate everything and miss such a kid? Is the Heavenly Dao of this realm so powerful that it is destined that we have no way to go back?"

After the man finished speaking, a small azure snake suddenly appeared on his shoulder and directly retorted:

"Humph! It’s just a temporary failure, why be so discouraged? We have survived for tens of thousands of years, what does it matter to wait for a few more days.

As long as we can maintain patience, we will always find a way to find an opportunity.

It’s just a pity that we lost that clone, and our strength has been lost a lot. It will take a lot of time to recover from the beginning."

"Sigh, were we too cautious? If the main body had come personally just now, perhaps we would have succeeded."

The small azure snake heard this and immediately laughed softly: "Haha! If it weren't for such caution, we would have been destroyed by others countless times.

Alright, things have come to this, what is the point of saying these things? Let’s hurry and leave here to plan for the future! Rest assured, we will return to the Grand Void Gate sooner or later."

After the two finished speaking, the man took a token from his body and put it into the "protective mountain formation" in front of him, then his figure flashed and he took the small azure snake and passed through the formation together, disappearing at the mountain gate location. — In the valley, when the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" rushed back, First Senior Brother Fu Jinglong had already rescued Zheng Xingyun and the others who were trapped by the illusion.

Besides this, the crowd also found Song Qingming, who was injured and exhausted, in a pit on the other side of the valley.

"Junior Brother Song, how are you?"

Seeing Song Qingming lying on the ground, looking seriously injured, Fu Jinglong hurriedly took a healing elixir from his body and put it into his mouth, asking with concern.

Song Qingming, who felt a little better in his body, nodded slightly to the crowd, then relaxed in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes again. — By the time Song Qingming opened his eyes again, it was a month later, and at that time, the entire "Yuxuan Island" had long since returned to a calm state.

That day, the earth-shattering righteous and demonic battle almost turned the entire back mountain of "Yuxuan Island" into a mess.

The more experienced "Bone-White Old Demon," taking advantage of the gap when the external incarnation of "Daoist Lingxu" left, hurriedly abandoned his opponent Chen Qingxuan to escape, and finally forcibly rushed out of the formation and fled.

On Yang Baixuan’s side, he was much unluckier. Under the joint efforts of "Daoist Lingxu" and Chen Qingxuan, his physical body was destroyed on the spot by the two.

Although Yang Baixuan escaped part of his primordial spirit relying on a life-saving trump card on his body.

However, this demon’s primordial spirit, although escaped, was also severely damaged by "Daoist Lingxu’s" sword light at the last moment. Even if he could have a chance to seize a body and rebuild, he would never be able to recover to his original cultivation in this life.

Besides this, the dozens of high-level demonic cultivators brought by the two demons basically died in the great battle.

After this battle, the demonic power in the entire "Donghuang Immortal Continent" was severely damaged, and it would be difficult for them to make any waves for at least several hundred years.

Not long after waking up from his bed, Song Qingming saw Liu Yang pushing the door and walking in from outside with a happy face, and hurriedly showed a few smiles to him.

"Junior Brother Song, you, the great hero of the sect, have finally woken up. How is it? Is there anything wrong with you now?"

Hearing Liu Yang’s words, Song Qingming hurriedly replied with a smile: "What great hero, I am just working for the sect, why does Senior Brother Liu say this!"

After speaking, Song Qingming released his divine sense again and carefully checked his body. Only then did he discover that the injuries on his body had actually healed seven or eight parts at some point, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh! What is going on?" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 830 =====
