Chapter 114 The Shocking Change in Kongsang
Chapter 114 The Shocking Change in Kongsang
Ning Xiaoxi stared blankly at Chi and Yuan, who were wrapped in heavy armor. She wanted to laugh but dared not. She watched as the Snow Demon, which was being scorched by the flames, became agitated, its wings flapping wildly, and an ice storm flew erratically, with ice blades shooting in all directions.
The sound of "clanging" continued as Chi Yuan's ice armor blocked the ice blades, and a heat wave erupted from within, causing the armor to begin to fall off.
Ning Xiaoxi's dagger flew out, and a huge cursed cage locked up a snow demon that was approaching her in the chaos.
"Moon Shadow Spear!" Kuiwei Shouyu thrust out his spear, and in a flash of silver light, he swept it across the waist of a snow demon that was trying to take advantage of the chaos to attack Ning Xiaoxi, sending it flying.
Upon seeing the Snow Demon trapped in the Cursed Cage, Kuiweichi instantly placed his hand on the cage bars, and fierce flames suddenly ignited on the bars, engulfing the Snow Demon in scorching heat.
Kui Kui Yuan dodged the snow demon swept by Kui Kui's Guardian, reaching out to grab the attacking snow demon's arm. The feeling of his hand gripping the snow demon's wrist was just like Ning Xiaoxi's grip on his own—the contrast was striking. However, his hand was a bit too hot, and the snow demon's arm quickly began to melt. The snow demon frantically activated the runes on its body, unleashing a surge of icy energy. But because of the blocking runes Ning Xiaoxi had inscribed on it, the cooling effect was ineffective, causing its wings to flap wildly and uncontrollably, creating gusts of storm-like energy.
The snow demon in the cage roared as it melted into water, merging into the ice. Ning Xiaoxi turned and cast another Cursed Lock Cage on the snow demon that had been swept away by Kuiwei Guardian; the oversized cage even left two of its feet sticking out. Kuiwei Chi, perfectly in sync, placed his hands on the cage bars again, and flames shot into the sky. Ning Xiaoxi turned and unleashed her Dragon Step, instantly releasing two defensive talismans on Kuiwei Yuan and Kuiwei Guardian.
After sweeping down the Snow Demon, Kuiwei charged towards the last one, his Yin energy piercing through the Moon Shadow Spear to strike the Snow Demon's chest. The Snow Demon clapped its hands together, trapping the Moon Shadow Spear between them. Its wings flapped wildly, and the aura of the ice storm grew increasingly fierce, with icy blades swirling towards Kuiwei.
Kuiwei Yuan increased his fire output, and the ice blades were blocked by the defensive shield released by Ning Xiaoxi. The snow demon's body gradually melted in the high temperature of the flames, and finally only two wings that could no longer flap fell to the snow, stirring up a cloud of snow mist.
After deploying the defensive shield, Ning Xiaoxi once again used the Soaring Dragon Step to reach the Snow Demon who was confronting Kuiwei's defenses, and released the oversized Cursed Cage again. Kuiwei Pool perfectly filled the gap, and the flames on the cage bars turned deep purple.
Kuiwei Yuan returned to Kuiwei Chi's side, Ning Xiaoxi sheathed her dagger, and Kuiwei Shouyu sheathed his Moon Shadow Spear. The four of them watched as the last Snow Demon melted into snow water inside the cage and disappeared on the ice.
"Xiao Xi's cage magic is amazing!" Kuiwei Shouyu looked at the cage with golden bars. He had never seen a magical cage that could withstand the true fire of the sun before.
"Luckily, they're only at the beginner level. If they were any higher, I wouldn't be able to protect them." Ning Xiaoxi touched her chest, feeling a pang of regret after using up so much spiritual energy.
Kuiwei Yuan reached out and handed over two spirit crystals, "Luckily, they weren't lost."
Ning Xiaoxi happily accepted it, "Oh my, this spirit crystal brick is really useful! Luckily I didn't absorb it. It can be used as a weapon and to ward off disasters. It's a good thing!"
"Don't you think there's anything wrong with this?" Jiuyu's cold voice carried displeasure.
The group quickly turned around and walked to Jiuyu's side. Kuiwei Guardian pondered for a moment, "They don't have demon cores."
“It’s impossible for a high-level, low-level demon to not have a demon core,” Kuiweichi continued. “If it’s not inside the body, then it can only be with the Snow Demon King.”
"This is still the outside world, and there isn't enough spiritual energy and demonic energy to give birth to the Snow Demon King."
"Could it be that it escaped from Kongsang?"
"Impossible, the guards didn't send a message."
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes flickered. What if she didn't have time to send a message?
Clearly, Kuiweichi and Kuiweiyuan had also considered this possibility. The two couldn't help but exchange a shocked glance before turning to look at Jiuyu, "My lord!"
Jiuyu's expression remained unchanged, still as cold as ever. "Send a message to the guards."
Kuiweichi raised his hand and threw a yellow firework into the sky.
As the fireworks exploded and slowly dissipated in the sky, a green firework burst open in the southern sky.
The group of people all looked north at the same time.
I waited for a full fifteen minutes, but I didn't see any fireworks.
Jiuyu's expression finally changed. "Speed up!" he shouted, and then disappeared.
Kuiweichi and Kuiweiyuan both started running, each step covering a distance of twenty meters.
Kuiwei Shouyu reached out and grabbed Ning Xiaoxi. After watching her release the Gale Talisman on her legs, he pulled her and they ran at top speed.
Ning Xiaoxi only had time to cast a defensive shield for herself and Kuiwei before she was pulled up like a kite, her legs dangling in mid-air. It was unclear what use those two talismans she had cast were.
At this moment, Ning Xiaoxi realized that the speed they had been traveling the previous two days was not a fast pace, but rather a warm-up for cultivation and preparation for the trial. Now they were truly traveling at full speed.
As night began to fall and the moon hung in the sky, they finally arrived near Mount Kongsang.
Today is the thirteenth, the moonlight is like water, benefiting yin and suppressing yang.
quiet!
It's so quiet!
When they were still some distance from the foot of the mountain, Jiuyu stopped.
Numerous strange auras surged within the frigid air, including the aura of the true fire of the sun, the aura of the Taiyin cultivation technique, and another aura mixed together.
Ning Xiaoxi also smelled a strong stench of blood; she didn't know how many people would have died to produce such a strong smell of blood.
"It's demonic energy!" Kuiwei Shouyu's voice was deep. Although Kongsang was a battlefield of demon-demon war, no demon lord had been killed here, and there was no such dense demonic energy. So this demonic energy must have just arrived. "A demon has invaded!"
Jiuyu took a step, no longer moving quickly, and gradually, a faint smell of blood wafted over.
"The smell of blood!" Kuiweichi said softly.
Ning Xiaoxi covered her nose. Were they just smelling the blood?
Kuiwei Shouyu turned to look at Ning Xiaoxi, his eyes filled with worry, and finally said only, "Be careful!"
Ning Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, raised her small hand and drew a talisman in the air. Soon, four streams of light landed on Jiuyu, Shouyu, Chi, and Yuan. "Defense talisman, which can be activated to resist a high-level attack when attacked."
The four of them looked down at her, and then they all laughed.
Ning Xiaoxi suddenly felt a sense of malice. It was because she was so short that she looked like a child walking among the four of them.
The man in front, Jiuyu, suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.
The snow and ice were stained red, and the unusual red stood out against the white snow!
