Chapter 230: 140, Qinglong Association (8)_2
As they reached the treetop, all four turned their heads to look in the southwest direction, their faces frozen in shock for a good ten breaths before becoming filled with terror...
"What... what kind of demon is this..."
Nie Xinchuan's mouth trembled as he uttered the question, while the other three all shook their heads, and at this moment, a serious look filled Hou Yuxiao's eyes.
In the southwest, stood a sheep-headed, human-bodied demon nearly a kilometer tall. Its nostrils sported a pair of fangs that curled outward for thirty to forty meters, utterly ghastly to behold. Its body was a mass of twisted muscles, wrapped in black Demon Qi, and its two blood-red eyes stared ahead, like an ancient demon god, towering above the land.
The forest, with its tens of thousands of towering trees, seemed utterly insignificant next to this demon. Having traveled on the ground, the trees had blocked their view; if Hou Yuxiao and his companions had been flying mid-air, they would have spotted this colossal sheep-headed, human-bodied demon straight away.
Beyond the sheep-headed demon was a massive cluster of green plant life, with each of its leaves around the plant stretching hundreds of meters long, numbering in the dozens. Though it stood on solid ground, it swayed as if in the ocean, its towering green Demon Qi shooting into the sky, a truly terrifying sight.
There was also what appeared to be an ancient town, rising abruptly in mid-air. Though Hou Yuxiao and the others were several miles away, they could clearly see the two characters "Song Yang" on the signboard at the town's entrance. In its streets, more than a dozen Martial Artists were battling thousands of corpse demons, drenched in blood, clearly having been fighting for a long time.
Yang Xin, Lv Luo, Song Yang, all three great demons had revealed their true forms.
Yang Xin's blood-red eyes were full of tyrannical rage, his powerful arms pounding the ground fiercely. Upon closer inspection, one could see a golden tripod frantically darting below him, helmed by the white-haired, robust figure of Tong Wudi.
Behind Tong Wudi, the phantom of his three-legged golden tripod was pushed to the limit. Unable to dodge any longer, he met Yang Xin's fierce attacks with clenched fists head-on, each clash sending out a shockwave that spread in all directions, whipping up a circle of violent wind.
Elsewhere, the plant that Lv Luo had transformed into was frantically spreading and dancing in the air. A pitch-black longsword, about a hundred meters in length, was entangled amidst its leaves. In the middle of the sword was Ding Dian, his face a picture of concentration.
This pitch-black longsword was the embodiment of Ding Dian's Martial Dao Spirit, the Shengang Sword.
Ding Dian wove through Lv Luo's actual leaves, and whenever they tried to ensnare him, the phantom of the longsword would flash with cold light, slashing through the foliage and then seizing the opportunity to escape. Although it did not inflict much damage to Lv Luo, Ding Dian had more than enough room to flee.
In the last of the transformed Song Yang, the ancient town where over a dozen Martial Artists led by Fan Longhe were fending off the corpse demons, Fan Longhe's Martial Dao Spirit was a Spirit Crane. While commanding the martial artists to resist the corpse demons, he himself faced a powerful, robust corpse demon, obviously another one of Song Yang's tricks.
Seeing the three great demons being held off by three individuals, a flash of astonishment crossed Hou Yuxiao's eyes, filling his heart with shock.
Fan Longhe was at the Master Third Realm in his cultivation, while Ding Dian and Tong Wudi were both at the Master Four Realms. The situation was clear, these three had managed to hold off the three demons, Yang Xin included.
These three great demons were all at the peak of the seventh grade, equivalent to a Martial Artist at the Great Grandmaster Realm. The strength of these three individuals was astonishingly powerful!
"Ding Buhai, if you continue to deliberately delay, I swear I'll make a report to the Master, and when the Holy Church holds you accountable, your Great Luo Sect won't be able to escape its sin."
Suddenly, a roar from Ding Dian caused Hou Yuxiao's pupils to constrict as he shifted his gaze to the side. It was only then that he noticed, beyond the three battlefields in front, there was a fourth one, previously obscured by the massive bodies of the three demons.
The first thing that came into view in the fourth battlefield were the corpses of two demons.
They were two avian demons, each body hundreds of meters long. Even as corpses, they emitted an extremely fierce residual aura, hinting at their formidable strength when alive.
Besides the two corpses, there were two living demons still full of vigor, engaged in battle with a blood-cloaked bald old man.
One resembled a wolf with sharply pointed claws and fangs, surrounded by Azure Dragon Demon Qi that swirled like cyclones. Despite its several hundred meter-length body, it was capable of moving so swiftly it left phantoms in its wake.
The other had the appearance of a toad; its entire body was pitch black, and its skin was dotted with blue pus-filled bulges that constantly emitted a blue poison, looking quite disgusting.
Xiao Lin, He Feng, Wu Ming, and Jiang Jiu, under Yang Xin, were a total of five demons of the seventh grade at the initial stage. Having killed Xiao Lin, these two dead and two alive must be the other four.
That left Jiang Jiu and Green Fang...
Hou Yuxiao deduced the identities of the remaining two demons solely based on their names and then turned his attention to Ding Buhai, who was battling the two demons.
Ding Buhai was now enshrouded in blood-red light, with an indistinguishable golden statue hovering behind him. His hands surged with True Yuan as he unleashed a massive Palm Seal with each strike towards the two demons before him.
Jiang Jiu and Green Fang were clearly at a disadvantage against Ding Buhai's hands, even to the point of seemingly being toyed with. Seeing this scene, a gleam of understanding flashed in Hou Yuxiao's pupils; his gaze towards Ding Buhai suddenly deepened.
