Misty Faced Tusker Retreats! The Demon Race's Scheme!

Hearing Xuanjing's words, Zhang Xuanchen felt a pang of sadness.

Why did they have to come at the exact moment when I was having intimate contact with Luo Lingshuang?

They really know how to pick their timing.

That's just asking for trouble.

Before long, Zhang Chongxian also sensed a faint bluish-gray mist rising from the cave.

He frowned, realizing something was wrong.

He could clearly sense that this azure mist could devour the Spiritual Qi within a cultivator's body. Although the devouring speed was not fast, if one fought under the cover of the azure mist, the rate at which spiritual energy was consumed would be at least 30% faster.

He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that there really is such Evil Spirits as the Misty Faced Tusker in the Azure Nether Mountain Range!"

We were really unlucky to run into them.

He had seen this kind of Evil Spirits in his Lineage's ancient books; it was extremely troublesome and possessed two Talent Skills: Mist Devouring and Soul-Wailing Voice.

The Mist Devouring was the increasingly dense, bluish-gray mist inside the cave.

The Soul-Wailing Voice is the wailing and strange laughter of children. Cultivators who are weak or lack willpower may even have their Divine Sense shattered and become mentally impaired, thus becoming puppets of that Evil Spirits.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Misty Faced Tusker lacks melee combat abilities.

Hehehe... Waaaaah~

As the fog thickened, even with the concealment Formation protecting them, the three's presence was still detected by the Misty Faced Tusker.

A series of piercing sounds entered the three people's minds, causing them to feel slightly uncomfortable.

However, none of them suffered significant damage.

This Misty Faced Tusker is only at the Late Third Stage. Zhang Xuanchen has Xuanjing and Little Peach in his sea of consciousness, while Luo Lingshuang has Little Lotus in her sea of consciousness.

Zhang Chongxian was Late Golden Core cultivator and a swordsman, so the damage caused by the Misty Faced Tusker's Divine Sense attack was naturally very limited.

"Get out first!"

Zhang Chongxian let out a deep shout and smashed the stone blocking the cave entrance with a palm strike, sensing the location of the Misty Faced Tusker with his mind.

A glint of gold flashed in his eyes.

He gripped his Spirit Sword and slashed at the Misty Faced Tusker.

"Ah!"

The Sword Edge Metal blade gleamed brilliantly in the night.

Puff!

Just as the sword was about to strike him, the Misty Faced Tusker let out a scream, and then its body turned into a cloud of mist.

Its true form had already fled far behind Zhang Chongxian, and its wailing grew even louder.

It was as if they were mocking the humans before them.

"Snort!

Evolved Divine Soldier – Light Splitting Shadow Dissipation! Go!

Zhang Chongxian snorted coldly, then formed a hand seal, and hundreds of golden Sword Qi suddenly flew towards the Misty Faced Tusker.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

The figure of the Misty Faced Tusker kept appearing and disappearing in the surrounding space, only to be dispersed by the Sword Qi.

It's obvious they're trying to wear down Zhang Chongxian.

His death will come when his spiritual power is exhausted.

Zhang Xuanchen then saw through the true nature of the Misty Faced Tusker.

It was about three feet tall, the size of a child, covered in bluish-gray mist, with withered branches on its limbs, and bluish-gray all over, with veins under its skin like earthworms, constantly wriggling.

Its head was enormous, three times the size of its body, and its mouth was full of barbed teeth. When it cried out, it would ooze a dark green liquid that emitted a strong, fishy stench. Its pair of scarlet eyes made it look particularly eerie.

Perhaps driven to desperation by Zhang Chongxian, it let out a roar.

With a clench of his fists, the surrounding green mist instantly surged.

The next moment, countless mist needles formed.

It rained down on the three of them like a storm!

"Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire! The Misty Faced Tusker Evil Spirits most afraid of the most intense and yang flames."

Although your strength is still too weak to kill it, it's not difficult to force it back.

Xuanjing's voice rang in his Zhang Xuanchen, and without the slightest hesitation, a burst of crimson-gold flames erupted from his body.

The surrounding mountains and forests were instantly engulfed in flames.

Illuminate this world.

The flying mist needles sizzled upon contact with the surrounding blue mist, and melted into the air in no time.

"Awooooo~"

Sensing this intense yang fire, a hint of fear flickered in the scarlet eyes of the Misty Faced Tusker.

But today I've finally come across such excellent blood food, and I don't want to give it up easily because it's a chance to change things up.

The experienced Zhang Chongxian sneered, roughly discerning the Misty Faced Tusker's intentions.

He exchanged a glance with Zhang Xuanchen, then flashed behind the Misty Faced Tusker, and slashed with his sword.

Puff!

Just as the Misty Faced Tusker had transformed into a wisp of green mist, before it could even coalesce, it was blasted apart by a crimson-gold fist shadow.

It was the Great Sage who had just emerged from the Myriad Spirit Ring.

"What the hell? I can't hit it?"

The Great Sage was puzzled, and then unleashed several punches in succession. Each punch had the power to shatter a small mountain, but it did not cause much damage to the Misty Faced Tusker.

As if the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire was melting away the surrounding blue mist, the speed at which the Misty Faced Tusker returned to their original form after dispersing into blue mist was much slower than before.

But that's all.

Only Zhang Xuanchen present was capable of harming the Misty Faced Tusker, but because he was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he had no chance of killing it.

However, the Great Sage's attacks had little effect on Zhang Chongxian.

Killing it would come at a great cost, and with the commotion already so huge, who knows what will happen next?

We cannot linger in battle.

"Get out of here now!"

Zhang Chongxian let out a low shout and swung his sword. Golden Sword Shadow descended from the sky, scattering the Misty Faced Tusker once again.

The latter let out a series of strange cries and retreated unwillingly.

Originally, he didn't retreat because he felt he still had a sliver of a chance, but now, with the addition of a Golden Core Mid Stage monkey demon, that chance has vanished.

We have no choice but to evacuate.

Sensing the rapidly receding azure mist around them Zhang Xuanchen and his companions remained vigilant. They extinguished the surrounding flames, concealed their auras, and flew towards the Thunder Tiger's lair.

Not long after the group left, several powerful Demon Beast arrived at the location.

A Demon Beast with a bear's head and a human body sniffed the surrounding air intensely.

He let out a low growl, "There's a fragrance, there's a Human Race female cultivator!"

Judging from the battle traces, there was also a Human Race sword cultivator in the Late Golden Core and a monkey demon in the Golden Core Mid Stage.

He picked up some charred wood shavings from the ground, sensed them briefly, and continued:

"The power of this flame has reached the Early Golden Core."

The person playing with fire must be a cultivator in the Early Golden Core.

No wonder he was able to force that strange fellow to retreat; he does have some skill.

Upon hearing the bear demon's words, the wolf demon with bloodshot eyes beside it let out a long howl, its chilling voice ringing out:

"To be Demon Race and associate with Human Race! What a waste!"

I'm going to kill him!

"Blood Wolf! Are you courting death?! If this attracts the attention of the Human Race and ruins the king's grand plan, you'll be food for them!" the ice-blue Demon Snake sneered.

Looking into the Blood Wolf's unwilling eyes, he spoke again, "Do we all hate the Human Race to the bone?"

They invaded our territory, slaughtered our people, and stole our Cultivation Resources; they deserve to die.

But now is not the time; at most, His Majesty will be able to break through to the Fourth Stage Yao Sect in thirty years.

Now that the Nine Splendor Sword Sect has been in seclusion for a hundred years, the Beast Tide thirty years from now will be unstoppable!

At that time, you can kill as many of those Human Race blood sacrifices as you want!

I've heard that the Human Race's Spirit Medicine Garden contains many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Consuming them might allow us to break through our bloodline barrier and achieve further breakthroughs!
