Chapter 446: Borrowing the Wind and Thunder to Shock the Black Mountain Old Demon
The Black Mountain Old Demon was a great demon who had dominated the area for hundreds of years and had even killed a great monk in the Yang God Realm. He had never been threatened like this and was immediately filled with anger.
It revealed its true form, a black mountain a thousand feet high stretching between heaven and earth, surrounded by cold, sinister winds that extinguished the thunder and fire all around.
The most terrifying thing is that there are many heads in this black mountain. Those are the evil spirits in the City of the Dead. They were swallowed by the Black Mountain Demon and turned into his own magic power.
This scene reminded Li Daoxuan of the Ghost King Xudu, who also had a similar method of devouring. Now it seems that Xudu and Heishan should have a good relationship, and the two even exchanged methods of cultivation.
"Li Daoxuan, I will kill you today to avenge my brother!"
The Black Mountain Demon made a deep sound, and the entire mountain was shaking slightly.
Li Daoxuan remained unmoved and continued to perform his thunder magic. At this time, Chang'an was raining heavily, which gathered a large amount of thunder power, and the power of his thunder magic was doubled.
When monks fight, they compete not only in magical power, but also in the application of weather and terrain. Being able to adapt to the enemy is also a compulsory course for monks.
Boom !
One after another, golden six-nine heavenly thunders fell like they were free of charge. Because the power of thunder was too concentrated, the shadows of the heavenly soldiers of the Thunder Department actually appeared faintly in the dark clouds in the sky.
That is the mark left by gods and Buddhas, the trace they have engraved on the avenue.
The evil spirits on the Black Mountain Demon's body screamed in pain, and the rocks collapsed and dust flew like rain.
Li Daoxuan pointed his finger and thirty-six thunder thorns flew out from the gourd. In an instant, all the surrounding thunder gathered around them. Each thunder thorn was like a winding and dancing thunder dragon.
This set of Zhang Jiuxiao's life-saving magic weapon once frightened countless demons, and now it shines again in Li Daoxuan's hands.
"Little Li, let's attack together!"
Xu Qingxuan did not stand idly by, but instead made a sword gesture with his hands. The Wanren Divine Sword passed through the clouds and turned into a giant sword nearly a hundred feet long, slashing towards the Black Mountain Old Demon.
In an instant, thirty-six thunder dragons rolled and crashed into the Black Mountain in the form of Tiangang, causing the evil spirit around it to disappear like boiling soup poured on snow, leaving the body of the Black Mountain old demon completely exposed.
Xu Qingxuan's giant sword followed suit, connecting perfectly, like a star falling to the ground, and the sharpness of the sword became stronger under the uneven sword intent, as if to split the mountain with one sword!
boom!
Under the joint siege of Li Daoxuan and Xu Qingxuan, even the famous Black Mountain Old Demon could not hold on. The so-called indestructible body of Xuanshan was shaking, and boulders kept falling.
It was like having a knife cutting his flesh.
The Black Mountain Demon let out a scream, and his huge body suddenly shrank until it became as small as dust, making it difficult to see clearly, and it disappeared in the misty wind and rain.
As tall as a thousand feet and as small as a speck of dust, the Black Mountain Old Demon's art of transformation has reached the realm of being able to make any size he wishes, worthy of being a great demon in the late Yangshen period.
Moreover, the Black Mountain Old Demon did not run away. He turned into dust and quietly escaped towards Xu Qingxuan, trying to sneak into Xu Qingxuan's nasal cavity.
This was his unique skill when fighting. He would first turn into dust and drill into the enemy's stomach, and then restore his true body which was a thousand feet tall. In just a moment, he could smash the enemy's body into powder!
He had used this trick many times and it had always worked, he even used it to kill a Taoist priest in the Yang Shen realm!
No matter how powerful Xu Qingxuan's sword intent is, once he loses his physical body, only his yang spirit will remain. Although he still has combat power, the Black Mountain Old Demon is best at dealing with souls.
As for Li Daoxuan, although his cultivation was not as good as Xu Qingxuan's, the Black Mountain Old Demon still did not dare to use him as a breakthrough point.
The reason is very simple. The eight-tailed fox fairy, the snake Pan Dan, the empty-bellied ghost king and the evil Buddha Maha in the Mara sect all died at the hands of this boy. There have long been rumors in the Taoist community that Li Daoxuan is the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun in heaven.
Before the Black Mountain Old Demon cultivated into a spirit and just had a trace of will, he met Erlang Shen once.
At that time, there was a ghost king in the underworld who sneaked into the world of the living and committed many evil things. Finally, someone reported him to Erlang Shen. As the god of war in heaven and a man with a strong sense of justice, Erlang Shen would naturally not stand idly by.
Erlang Shen not only immediately killed the evil Ghost King, but also descended to the underworld in his true form to rebuke the Five Ghost Kings and the Ten Kings of Hell.
The Black Mountain Old Demon remembered that scene very clearly and would never forget it. The big shots who used to be high and mighty like mountains were trembling with fear and welcoming the arrival of Erlang Zhenjun with great respect. They dared not talk back when being reprimanded and could only bow their heads in shame.
Heishan had a deep-seated fear of the True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao, who held a three-pointed, double-edged sword, wore a golden bow and silver bullets on his waist, and had a pair of heavenly eyes.
Therefore, the Black Mountain Old Demon did not dare to easily test Li Daoxuan, who was said to be the reincarnation of Erlang Shen. He even did not want to make enemies with him from the bottom of his heart. If it were not for the temptation of the leader Moro with the method of becoming an immortal, he would not want to get involved in this muddy water this time.
Xu Qingxuan was experienced in fighting, and he sensed the danger at the first moment, with alarm rising in his heart.
He immediately made hand gestures and chanted a spell, using the Jingming school's method of opening the third eye.
"The laws of heaven are clear, the laws of earth are spiritual, yin and yang combine, the demons reveal themselves, the eyes of heaven, open!"
The next moment, stars lit up in his eyes and his round pupils turned into square ones, looking very mysterious.
Square pupils are a sign of being divine and immortal.
"Shiyiji·King Ling of Zhou" once recorded, "Lao Dan lived in the Fanjing Rishi Mountain at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, isolated from the world. There were five old men with yellow hair...all with square pupils, jade-like faces, holding green bamboo sticks in their hands, and discussing the number of heaven and earth with Lao Dan."
In Taoism, it is believed that Fang Tong has the appearance of an immortal who can look up to the sky and down to the sky, and see the ghosts and gods in the world.
It is said that during the Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing, the master of the Shangqing School, had pupils that gradually became square in his later years due to his profound cultivation.
At this moment, Xu Qingxuan used his great magic power to open his third eye. In the dim light, he seemed to see a little shadow of the Black Mountain Old Demon, but it was not real and seemed very vague.
It's not that his third eye technique is not powerful. In fact, it is already a very advanced method of opening the third eye in Taoism, which can see through most of the changes of demons. It's a pity that he happened to meet an old Black Mountain demon with unfathomable cultivation.
Just as Xu Qingxuan was trying hard to identify the trace of the Black Mountain Old Demon, a golden light that could subdue demons flew from the sky and accurately hit a speck of dust in the wind and rain.
The Black Mountain Old Demon was forced to reveal his true form, and the places where the demon-subduing golden light shone on him turned slightly red, as if they were melting.
He glared at Li Daoxuan, who was high above the clouds, and said, "You are bullying the minority with your numbers. What kind of hero are you, little Taoist priest?"
At this moment, he was actually a little weak inside, and his own transformation technique was actually seen through by Li Daoxuan. The third eye between the other party's eyebrows was definitely not a human technique!
This further confirmed the rumor that Li Daoxuan was the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun, and made the Black Mountain Old Demon even more fearful.
Xu Qingxuan's pupils condensed and his back felt a little cold. Only then did he realize that he almost escaped from Guanmenguan just now. If his physical body was destroyed and only his yang spirit was left, he would be no match for the Black Mountain Old Demon.
This time, Li Daoxuan saved his life again!
"Hero? You sneaked into the palace and stole the soul of Empress Changsun. Do you think you are a hero?"
Li Daoxuan's voice was calm, but it was like a turbulent undercurrent, echoing in the wind and rain, with the lingering sound.
Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan's heart trembled, and he shouted: "Black Mountain Old Demon, you came to Chang'an to harm the Queen of the Tang Dynasty. Today, even if I risk my life, I will never let you take the Queen away!"
The Empress Changsun's reputation for virtue was known to the world. Although Xu Qingxuan had never met her before, he respected her very much in his heart and naturally would not watch her being killed.
Li Daoxuan said calmly: "Heishan, hand over the soul of Empress Changsun, and I will let you go."
The most urgent task was to rescue Empress as possible. If delayed for too long, both Empress Changsun and Li Zhi in her belly would die and there would be no hope of survival.
That would definitely be a .
The Zhelong Kingdom had just been established, but it couldn’t even protect the Queen of the Tang Dynasty. How could it protect the people of the world?
For Li Daoxuan, who had just taken office as the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty and was conferred the title of Heavenly Master, this was also a huge blow to his reputation.
The Black Mountain Old Demon looked at Xu Qingxuan, who was ready to fight for his life, and Li Daoxuan, who was eyeing him covetously in the sky, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Although the method of becoming an immortal is good, one must be alive to obtain it.
With Li Daoxuan and Xu Qingxuan joining forces, he was not sure of victory. Even if he won in the end, he might be seriously injured. If the news got out, the entire Wrongful Death City might not be able to be saved.
The ghost fairy lady in the Qingming Realm has been getting restless recently.
Thinking of this, he had already made a decision in his heart. As an old monster who had lived for nearly a thousand years, he naturally knew how to weigh the pros and cons. Although he had joined the Moro sect, he was not a subordinate who could be controlled by Moro. People could gather because of benefits, and they could also disperse because of benefits.
"Li Daoxuan, today I consider you to be a person of importance and am willing to establish a good relationship with you. I can return the soul of Empress Changsun to you."
After a pause, he sneered again: "Even if you save the queen, what does it matter? You don't know how terrible Moro's plan is. Chang'an, you can't save her!"
Li Daoxuan looked down at him coldly, his white robe fluttering, his expression indifferent, and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Hand over the queen's soul and I will let you go."
“Hmph, Li Daoxuan, don’t think that I’m afraid of you. You’re only a half-step Yang God right now. Even if you have some skills, you’re definitely not my opponent in a one-on-one fight!”
"And Xu Qingxuan, it is not difficult for me to kill you. Today , I am only giving you some face for the sake of Longhu Mountain and Xu Xun Tianshi. Don't think that I am weak and can be bullied in the City of the Dead!"
After saying a few words to save his face, the Black Mountain Old Demon spat out a translucent ghost, wearing a phoenix robe, with a dignified and bright face, a noble and elegant temperament, but his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen into a coma.
It was the Empress Zhangsun Wugou of the Tang Dynasty.
There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the Black Mountain Old Demon. He had been practicing till now and did not like to eat human flesh like Xu Du. His two biggest hobbies were the first was to absorb Yang Qi and the second was to marry those beautiful female ghosts.
So far, he has married 132 wives, all of whom are beautiful female ghosts, and many of them were daughters of wealthy families when they were alive.
In terms of beauty, there are several who are as beautiful as Changsun Wugou, but in terms of noble status, no one can compare with Changsun Wugou.
It’s a pity that he will miss the chance to meet the Queen of Tang Dynasty today.
"Little Taoist priest, put it away!"
A gleam of light flashed in the Black Mountain Old Demon's eyes, and he threw Empress Changsun's soul to Li Daoxuan.
In an instant, affected by the cold wind and bitter rain, Empress Changsun's soul became even fainter and almost completely transparent.
The souls of mortals are very fragile, like a flickering candle in the wind and rain, in danger of being extinguished at any time, not to mention that there were thunders gathering in the sky at this time. The extremely strong and masculine aura made Empress Changsun's soul even weaker.
Li Daoxuan quickly dispersed the thunder, and the Five-horse Warrior Talisman in his palm glowed with a faint light, and he took Empress Changsun into it. The yin energy in it was thick and could temporarily protect her soul.
After doing all this, the figure of the Black Mountain Old Demon disappeared and he took the opportunity to escape.
"Little Li, hurry back and save the queen. Chixia and I will continue to track down this Black Mountain old monster. Even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, I will kill this monster!"
Xu Qingxuan was also a hot-tempered man who believed in eradicating all evil. He immediately turned into a sword and chased after the Black Mountain Demon.
The Black Mountain Demon is indeed powerful, but he also has some tricks up his sleeve that he has not used yet. In a life-and-death fight, there may be a chance to kill him with the sword!
Just as Li Daoxuan was about to speak, he saw Xu Qingxuan's figure had disappeared in the rain.
He shook his head and sighed. Xu Jianxian was good in every way. He was a righteous man, a man of his word, and he hated evil. His only problem was that he was a little too impulsive.
But this is also the charm of Xu Jianxian. He is committed to justice and is not afraid of life or death. If there are more people like him in Taoism, the people of the world will suffer less.
"Brother Yan, take these pills and talismans. They can heal wounds and defend against enemies. Go catch up with your master and don't let him get hurt."
Yan Chixia looked at the pills and talismans in his hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Li!"
After saying that, he quickly flew into the air on his sword and chased in the direction his master left.
…
In the palace, Li Shimin paced back and forth, his eyes full of anxiety, and kept looking outside the palace.
Changle held a brocade handkerchief and carefully wiped her mother's face. The little girl seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly. She hugged her mother and her voice was soft and gentle.
"Mother, when you wake up, Changle will make you some nectar cake."
"Master is the most powerful person in the world. He will definitely be able to save you. Master just gently wiped my hand before, and Changle's injuries were all healed!"
"From now on, Changle will listen to you and practice well. In the future, Changle will be able to protect you and father..."
Her gentle voice made Li Shimin feel heartbroken.
"How much time has passed? Taichong hasn't come back yet?"
Li Shimin asked Wang Bo for the fifth time.
Wang Bo sighed, "Your Majesty, Master Li's lightning escape technique is extremely fast. If we calculate the time, he must have already flown thousands of miles away. If he hasn't returned before dawn, I'm afraid..."
Wang Bo didn't finish his words, but Li Shimin understood what he meant.
"Master will definitely succeed!"
Changle raised her little face, with an unprecedented firmness in her eyes, which was the unreserved trust and admiration for her master.
But Li Shimin was not so optimistic. After all, he was an emperor and would not blindly trust someone.
He even secretly reminded himself in his heart that if Taichong failed to bring back the queen's soul, he could not blame him. It was very difficult for Taichong to run around for him and save Changle.
Wang Bo sighed in his heart, stepped back silently without saying anything.
In his opinion, the strange bird had been gone for a long time, and the hope of success was not very great. He said this deliberately just now in order to prevent His Majesty from having any grudge against Brother Li.
As time passed and the night grew darker, Li Shimin's heart grew heavier.
Changle bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let tears fall. At this moment, her confidence was getting smaller and smaller.
Just then, a hand touched her head, and the warmth of the palm cheered her up.
"I'm back."
Li Daoxuan, dressed in white, suddenly appeared in the hall. His hair on his forehead was wet by the rain and he looked a little tired. It was obvious that the fight with the Black Mountain Old Demon was not as easy as it seemed.
"Taichong, how was this trip?"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, staring at him closely with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, as if he was afraid to hear a certain answer.
At this moment, everyone looked towards Li Daoxuan. The huge Lizheng Hall was so quiet that only the sound of wind and rain outside the window could be heard.
Li Daoxuan smiled, his voice was gentle and peaceful, slowly echoing in the hall.
"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission."
