Chapter 404

Although the Qiankun Wind and Cloud Array temporarily lost the operation of two cultivators and its power was reduced, it did not have much impact on the Black Flame Tiger, which was already not lightly injured at this time.

However, the opponent was, after all, a third-grade mid-tier Golden Core demon king, and its physical defense was very powerful. Among the eight people operating the array, there were not many Foundation Establishment cultivators who could cause effective damage to it. Like Song Qingming, who had the lowest cultivation among everyone, even if he participated in the attack, it could only be scratching an itch for the other party.

Just at this moment, several second-grade demon beasts had already approached the battlefield. Song Qingming and two other cultivators could only temporarily withdraw from the battle of besieging the Black Flame Tiger and turn to block these second-grade demon beasts that were surrounding them.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly again. Just as the Black Flame Tiger's injuries were getting heavier and heavier and its aura was already very weak, this demon king suddenly spat out a ball of extremely black flames from its mouth.

"Be careful, this is its life-bound inner fire. You all retreat quickly." Seeing this ball of black flames appear, Chen Jinliang's face changed slightly, and he quickly moved forward and shouted loudly to the crowd besieging it.

Although his reminder was very timely and most cultivators retreated to the side quickly, there was still one cultivator who did not react in time and was caught up by this ball of flames, instantly burning into a pile of ashes, without even leaving a corpse behind.

This ball of black flames was exactly a life-bound divine ability on the Black Flame Tiger. After being blessed by the inner core in its body, even if a Golden Core cultivator were to face this black flame head-on, if they did not defend against it, it would be possible for them to lose their lives on the spot.

Seeing that the Black Flame Tiger's life-bound inner core had already been forced out, Chen Jinliang also knew that this demon beast was already at the end of its rope, so he immediately moved forward quickly and used the Purple Gold Seal to press down on that ball of black flames, preventing it from attacking other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Immediately after, Chen Jinliang took out a golden spirit talisman from his body and began to cast a spell. Soon, the golden spirit talisman turned into a huge sword several zhang high and extremely sharp.

After seeing this huge sword appear, Lin Yutian, Fairy Qiudie, and others who were retreating to the side soon saw that what Chen Jinliang was using at this moment should be a spirit talisman with huge power above the third grade, and they all opened their eyes wide, and their faces also revealed excited expressions.

"Since you are already at the end of your rope and have no other moves, then die for me!" Following a sharp shout from Chen Jinliang with his brows furrowed, this golden huge sword also fell quickly from the high sky toward the Black Flame Tiger on the ground.

After this sword went down, the Black Flame Tiger also immediately let out a miserable scream. Even though it was thick-skinned, facing this powerful strike, whether it was the protective shield it cast in advance or that originally extremely hard physical body, it was easily pierced through by the golden huge sword like tofu.

After being pierced directly through the entire body by this sword, the aura on the Black Flame Tiger's body weakened quickly, and soon it could only lie on the ground and could not move.

That ball of black flames that it had actively spat out before also quickly extinguished, turning into a blue ball the size of a palm. This was the Black Flame Tiger's life-bound Golden Core, which was now pressed on the ground by the Purple Gold Seal controlled by Chen Jinliang.

After Chen Jinliang landed, he gave the Black Flame Tiger, which was already at its last gasp, another sword, which finally killed this demon king that had plagued the northwest of Wei State for many years. After putting away the Purple Gold Seal, Chen Jinliang took the demon king's inner core in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time before he satisfiedly put it into his storage bag.

"We, congratulate the Old Ancestor on killing the demon king." Seeing that the Black Flame Tiger had no more aura, Lin Yutian and others on the side also hurriedly surrounded it and began to bow and congratulate Chen Jinliang.

After planning for many years, today he finally killed the Black Flame Tiger as he wished. Chen Jinliang was also very happy in his heart at this moment and said happily to everyone: "Being able to kill this demon king in today's battle, everyone also has a share of the credit. I will naturally not forget the promise I made before. After we go back, I will collect spiritual herbs and prepare to refine elixirs."

After the Black Flame Tiger, the demon king that had occupied Great Black Mountain for many years, was killed, other low-grade demon beasts on the mountain that were still fighting with cultivators soon could not sense its aura.

After losing the command of the Black Flame Tiger, the demon king, these low-grade demon beasts that had lost their souls soon became a mess, gave up fighting one after another, and fled from here in all directions, leaving behind a pile of corpses lying in disarray, and the entire Great Black Mountain also slowly became quiet.

In this battle, although many low-grade demon beasts were killed, the human side also suffered not small losses. Among the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators who besieged and contained the Black Flame Tiger with Song Qingming and others, one of the unluckiest rogue cultivators was burned into ashes on the spot by the Black Flame Tiger's inner core, without even leaving a corpse behind.

There were also two people who were hit head-on by the furious Black Flame Tiger and soon withdrew from the battle, and they were also all seriously injured. If it weren't for the Qiankun Wind and Cloud Array sharing most of the attacks, these two people would probably not have been able to survive today.

In addition, Feng Deyang and others who participated in blocking those low-grade demon beasts, a total of thirty-two cultivators came, and four died on the spot, and more than a dozen people had injuries of varying degrees of severity.

However, being able to finally kill this Golden Core demon king, the Black Flame Tiger, in this battle, in the eyes of this Golden Core Old Ancestor Chen, paying these prices is absolutely worth it. Compared to the casualties of these Foundation Establishment cultivators, this Old Ancestor Chen is probably more distressed about the high-grade spiritual items he consumed today.

After everyone rested for a while, Chen Jinliang began to direct everyone to collect the corpses of the demon beasts on the ground. He himself personally rode the flying boat and took some cultivators to start searching for other spiritual items on this spiritual mountain.

Demon beasts are generally not good at alchemy, talisman making, and other skills. In the wild, many spiritual items are of no use to them. On a high-grade spiritual vein occupied by such a Golden Core demon king, there will generally be some spiritual items that grow naturally.

Soon, Chen Jinliang, who had turned around this mountain in a large circle, found many spiritual items above the second grade and a spiritual herb whose quality had reached the third grade.

Just when Chen Jinliang was collecting spiritual items on the mountain, Ma Hongshan and Chu Fengping, who were responsible for containing the other two demon kings, also returned to Great Black Mountain one after another, notifying everyone that the demon beast reinforcements were almost here and they should hurry up and leave Great Black Mountain.

Those two demon kings, in order to support Great Black Mountain, all brought many demon beast armies under their command. Although those low-grade demon beasts walked slower and were still some distance away from Great Black Mountain, everyone still had to leave this dangerous place quickly. Otherwise, once they were entangled by the demon beasts, they would have to go through another bloody battle.

After learning this news, everyone also hurried up their time, giving priority to collecting the valuable materials on the high-grade demon beasts. As for the rest that were not very valuable or not easy to carry, they could only leave them here.
