The Promise
"Good!"
Lu Qinglian excitedly accepted the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, poured her Fire Lotus True Qi into it, and the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner burst into flames.
She could finally be of great help to her master.
"Samadhi True Fire Formation, activate!"
Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, Lu Qinglian, wielding the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, charged into the Desolate Province Demon Race. The banner billowed, summoning the Samadhi True Fire.
Smoke billowed and swirled, forming an endless sea of fire in the center of the Formation. The Desolate Province Demon Race were burned by the Samadhi True Fire, screaming in agony.
"What a powerful Dharma Banner!"
Li Changye waved the divine banner, unleashing a burst of Samadhi True Fire that instantly incinerated several Great Demons, who were startled by the power of this immortal Immortal Artifact Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner.
The Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner requires three cultivators with Fire Spirit Roots to activate. With the cultivation levels of Lu Changsheng and Li Changye, plus Lu Qinglian's Fire Lotus True Qi, the Samadhi True Fire Formation would leave nothing but barren land and annihilate Great Demons wherever it went.
By the way,... [version].
Lu Qinglian waved the divine banner continuously, each wave consuming a large amount of True Qi, forcing her to continuously consume Great Qi-Gathering Pills.
But Lu Qinglian's cheeks flushed red with excitement.
Setting fires with impunity, how satisfying!
"This is Immortal Artifact Dharma Banner..."
Zhuge Changming, the Chief Grand Disciple of Crouching Dragon Temple, stared fervently at the Samadhi True Fire Formation in operation.
His innate Law Treasure, the Li Fire Banner, paled in comparison to the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, a set of immortal Immortal Artifacts.
Led by Lu Changsheng and Li Changye, the other Elders of Mount Shu also took action, unleashing hundreds of Flying Swords, each one a dazzling display of colors, carrying sharp Sword Qi, slashing down members of the Demon Sects or Desolate Province Great Demons.
The Mount Shu people joined in defending Iron Sword Pass, and the battle remained deadlocked.
The Desolate Province Great Demons is teeming with Great Demons, some of whom possess bloodlines so strong that they rival the Peerless Genius of the Six Great Sects.
Chen Xiaoyao was no match for a Great Demon at the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm during the battle. Just as he was about to be killed by the Great Demon, a Long Sword flew in from nowhere and cleaved the Great Demon in two.
"What good luck!"
Chen Xiaoyao wiped away his cold sweat.
Song Wuchuan of Mount Shu and Xiao Menger of the Ask Immortal Pavilion joined forces to deal with Great Demon at the Peak Dao Palace Realm. Their Flying Swords swept across the battlefield, and they happened to kill the demon at the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm Great Demon.
"On the battlefield, his iron armor shattered after a hundred battles; the city south was already surrounded by multiple layers of defenses. He charged into the enemy camp, shot and killed the Huyan general, and led a thousand remaining cavalrymen back home."
Mo Huazhi wielded his brush with such skill and dynamism that his strokes flowed like dragons and snakes, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with Righteous Qi and rallying over a thousand cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen, at least at the Qi Condensation Realm, charged into battle with their iron hooves clanging and their warhorses galloping, their spears mercilessly piercing through ordinary Demon Beasts of lower cultivation levels.
"There are too many enemies, but thankfully my master gave me enough Medicinal Pills."
Mo Huazhi at Iron Sword Pass, continuously using Tang Poetry Combat Art to kill as Desolate Province Demon Race as possible.
"Could it be that Desolate Province Great Demons have come out in full force? This number is simply too great."
Lu Changsheng continuously waved the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner, consuming a great deal of True Qi, yet the Desolate Province Demon Race did not seem to decrease much.
Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng suddenly heard Xia Ningxue's clear voice.
Because of his cultivation of the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, Lu Changsheng was already used to multitasking. He continued to wave the Samadhi True Fire Divine Banner while looking in Xia Ningxue's direction.
Xia Ningxue held the Emotion-Cutting Sword, which was as clear as Autumn Water. Her white clothes were as pure as snow, but they were stained with blood, the bloodstains resembling plum blossoms.
She killed a Grand Supreme Elders of the Hehuan Sect, and also defeated Liu Yuner, the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect.
Lu Changsheng knew that the Grand Supreme Elders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion had sacrificed his own cultivation to Transmission Empowerment to Xia Ningxue, which was why her cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds.
But why was she secretly sending him a telepathic message at this moment?
"What's wrong?"
"Let's make a deal."
"Please speak."
"If we successfully survive this Calamity, why not emulate the Tai Xu True Person and Qingxia Immortal Maiden from Ten Thousand Years Ago and make a pact for Changsheng?"
Seeing the endless stream of Desolate Province Demon Race, Xia Ningxue wondered if she could escape the battle at Iron Sword Pass. So she bit her lip and made a secret agreement with Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng remained silent.
Isn't this a free point question?
He used Apprentice-Teaching Simulator to simulate the lives of four Disciples. This Demon Sects Calamity was not a matter of life and death, and he would not die at all. That is why Lu Changsheng chose to fight the Savage Elephant King.
Xia Ningxue and the other disciples of the Six Great Sects could not foresee the future and thought that this Calamity was more likely to be disastrous than avert death. They felt that if they did not express their feelings before they died, they would have regrets in this life.
However, influenced by her master, Fairy Su, Xia Ningxue found it difficult to speak, and this was already the limit of her ability.
"You don't want to agree?"
Xia Ningxue's eyes darkened, Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art reversed uncontrollably, sending a chill down Liu Yuner's spine as she faced Xia Ningxue's antagonism.
Liu Yuner felt as if she were being stared at by a pair of cold eyes from the Heavens, as if her very soul was about to be devoured.
Liu Yuner sensed that Xia Ningxue was about to Qi Deviation at any moment, and that if the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art reversed, Xia Ningxue's strength would actually increase in a short period of time, and Liu Yuner would surely die.
"I can make a promise with you."
Lu Changsheng knew that the Demon Sects Calamity was just a close call and that Xia Ningxue was worrying unnecessarily, so he casually agreed.
It's a deal.
Xia Ningxue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art stopped reversing and resumed normal operation.
With Lu Changsheng's promise, she felt that even if she died in the Calamity, it wouldn't matter.
At the entrance to the Ask Immortal Pavilion on Misty Peak, a strange man with fiery red hair appeared out of thin air, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Four Hundred and Eighty Pavilions shrouded in clouds.
More than a dozen streaks of light shot into the sky, and the Grand Supreme Elders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion, who were stationed at Misty Peak, appeared one after another, staring intently at the man with fiery red hair.
The Demon Qi emanating from this fiery red-haired man surpassed that of countless Peerless Great Demons.
"So you're the newly appointed Demon Lord?"
An old woman's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
No one expected that the Demon Sects and the Demon Race army would attack Iron Sword Pass, and that the Demon Lord, who ruled over all races in the Desolate Province, would appear alone at Misty Peak.
"Good."
The Demon Lord simply replied coldly.
"This young man's cultivation is unfathomable; prepare to activate the Mountain-Guarding Formation."
The Demon Lord did not make a move, but the Grand Supreme Elders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were on high alert. More than a dozen of them dared not take action and instead decided to rely on the Mountain-Guarding Formation of Misty Peak to deal with the Demon Lord.
"You think you can single-handedly Misty Peak? That's wishful thinking."
"We, a dozen or so fellow disciples, will risk our lives to kill you with our Mountain-Guarding Formation."
The dozen or so Grand Supreme Elders Ask Immortal Pavilion had resolute expressions in their eyes.
Their current level of cultivation is largely due to the resources provided by their Sects. Now that the Demon Lord is attacking, they have nowhere to retreat.
"Then you and Misty Peak shall turn to ashes together."
The Demon Lord remained indifferent, summoning an Ancient Cauldron whose terrifying pressure caused the entire Misty Peak and all 480 Pavilions of the Ask Immortal Pavilion to shake.
"This is...!"
The dozen or Grand Supreme Elders Ask Immortal Pavilion were shocked; the Demon Lord's cultivation and Law Treasures far exceeded their imagination.
"I wondered what upheaval had occurred in the martial world that alarmed Six Great Sects. It turns out that a new Demon Lord had emerged among the Desolate Province Demon Race."
Just as the Grand Supreme Elders Ask Immortal Pavilion were planning to perish together, a Nameless Swordsman riding a skinny horse arrived at the mountain gate of the Ask Immortal Pavilion at some unknown time and confronted the Demon Lord as if nothing had happened.
