The Daoist's Calamity (2)

Volume 4 Dungeon Instance Chapter 188 The Daoist's Tribulation (Part 2)

Heiji Shinjuchi, the true embodiment of power, is now fully prepared for battle.

Soon, the thing in the mist let out a hiss and revealed its true form a meter away from Li Wei.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei was somewhat astonished, for the monster before him was actually a pig!

However, this pig looked very strange. It was over three meters long and weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Its fur was sparse but resembled black steel needles. It had hard fleshy growths on its abdomen and ribs, and the skin around its eyes was reddish. The strangest thing was that it had a pig's head and a dog's body, with tusks sticking out from its mouth, making it look quite ferocious.

Li Wei's Eye of Perception swept over the creature and immediately recognized its name.

"Level? creature, Red-Eyed Boar Demon".

It really is a demon.

When the Red-Eyed Boar Demon saw Li Wei, its eyes widened in shock. It gnashed its teeth and growled, then charged forward with all four hooves, instantly reaching Li Wei.

With a flick of its fangs, gleaming coldly, it lunged towards Li Wei's lower abdomen.

Just as it was about to touch its target, its tusks were firmly grasped by a hand, and the thousand-pound Red-Eyed Boar Demon was thus subdued and unable to move.

Li Wei exerted force with his arm; with his true energy, he could easily lift even ten thousand jin, let alone a mere thousand-jin Pig Demon. With a single flip, the Pig Demon was thrown to the ground with a thud, as if it had been slammed in the back.

Immediately afterwards, the Pig Demon's marrow was severed by a sword aura of true essence released by Li Wei, rendering it completely incapacitated.

Killing the Pig Demon didn't bring Li Wei much relief, because he saw even more demons surging in from all directions.

If we stay here, although we won't be in any danger from these low-level monsters, we'll inevitably be delayed.

The Daoist said that if the cracks in the Demon Refining Pot are not repaired for a long time, they will definitely widen, and when a high-level demon appears, it will be too late.

With that thought in mind, Li Wei moved and ran towards the center of Sand City.

The Demon Refining Pot is located in the city lord's hall in the center of the city.

Along the way, Li Wei killed dozens more low-level demons. Possessing true energy, Li Wei was virtually invincible. By the time he reached the city lord's hall, dozens of corpses lay behind him. The demons, being intelligent beings, no longer dared to approach Li Wei, who appeared like a ferocious demon. Instead, they lingered around him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Upon entering the city lord's hall, Li Wei saw the Demon Refining Pot lying on the ground, with thick fog billowing out from one side of the pot, and many streams of light flying out as well, presumably the demons trapped inside.

Without delay, Li Wei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the Demon Refining Pot. He examined the damaged area, which looked as if it had been slashed by a blade. The pot was scalding hot and made a buzzing sound. Even with his true essence protecting his palm, Li Wei could still feel the intense heat. Fortunately, Li Wei's true essence was of the fire element, so he was not seriously injured.

Now that we've found the Demon Refining Pot, all that's left is to repair it according to the method taught by the Daoist.

Li Wei first took out a bright gold talisman and stuck it to the crack. Strangely enough, the thick fog that was constantly flowing out of the crack stopped in an instant, and the buzzing sound of the Demon Refining Pot also stopped.

It seems to work!

This talisman was made by the Daoist before Li Wei entered Sand City; it can temporarily seal the Demon Refining Pot for a moment.

Although the Demon Refining Pot is temporarily not spewing out dense fog and demons, the demons that have already appeared in Sand City cannot be dealt with for the time being. They can only be suppressed by the array formation of the Daoist outside the city. I can only repair the cracks in the Demon Refining Pot as soon as possible.

Just as Li Wei was about to repair the crack in the Demon Refining Pot, a sigh suddenly sounded from behind Li Wei.

The Daoist outside the city kept channeling spiritual energy into the formation to keep it running, but his brow furrowed more and more.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart. During a break from maintaining the formation, the Daoist cast another divination, only to be terrified by the result and turn pale.

"Oh no!"

Looking up in the direction of Sand City, the Daoist was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet he couldn't leave to go there.

What made the Daoist so visibly shaken was the omen presented in the divination, a very bad sign. However, this time he wasn't divining for himself, but for Li Wei.

The Daoist hesitated, glancing at the formation. He wanted to offer assistance but was unable to leave because he needed to maintain it.

He knew very well that if Li Wei failed this time, maintaining the formation would be futile. But if he didn't maintain the formation, it would be troublesome if the monsters in the city escaped. Thus, he was caught in a dilemma.

Just as the Taoist He had predicted, Li Wei was indeed in trouble.

Just as he was about to repair the crack in the Demon Refining Pot, a sigh suddenly came from behind him, making the ever-cautious Li Wei's heart tighten.

There was someone behind him, and he had no idea.

Li Wei turned around abruptly, and his eyelids twitched.

Standing behind him was a stunningly beautiful woman.

She had a graceful figure, a charming demeanor, and skin as smooth as an eggshell. Her eyes were alluring, and she wore a thin gauze dress, but her small, jade-like feet were bare.

At this moment, the stunningly beautiful woman gazed at him with a lingering gaze.

Wei sighed again, "If it can't be fixed, why waste your time?"

Having said that, he slowly walked towards Li Wei.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure accompanied the delicate beauty, rushing towards Li Wei like a raging flood. The latter was startled and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's expression changed.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone who could make him so disheveled simply through sheer power. From this woman, Li Wei sensed not only strength, but also a trace of strange, demonic aura.

"It's a high-level demon that escaped from the Demon Refining Pot!" This thought was already certain in his mind.

With his Eye of Perception scanning the area, Li Wei only obtained one name.

"The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon!"

"That's quite a resounding name," Li Wei secretly guessed, "This monster's combat power definitely exceeds level 1, and may even have reached level 2."

Unexpectedly, such a powerful demon still managed to escape. Li Wei no longer believed the Daoist's claim that there were only low-level demons. If this could be a high-level demon, how could he, a mere low-level demon, possibly stand a chance?

My mind raced, but the other person drew closer and closer.

Li Wei steeled his resolve. This level of demon was no joke; one wrong move and he could be instantly killed. So he formed a sword incantation with his fingers and circulated his true energy.

After summoning the Heaven-Defying Profound Sword, he directly swung it at the fox demon. Upon seeing the light sword that Li Wei had condensed, the Heaven-Defying Profound Sword to shatter.

This is no joke!

Li Wei already knew that he was far inferior to the fox demon opposite him, so he had no intention of fighting anymore. Instead, he picked up the Demon Refining Pot and fled as fast as he could.

"Trying to run?"

The fox demon flashed and transformed into a streak of light, giving chase. Ever since she escaped from the Demon Refining Pot using her supernatural powers, she had been wandering around this Sand City, lurking among ordinary, edible humans. Naturally, she couldn't find them in the empty city.

Wanting to leave the city, they discovered that a formation enveloped the city. This formation was quite strange, and the fox demon was unable to break through it to escape, so it had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, she had been trapped in the Demon Refining Pot for a thousand years, and without consuming the essence of living beings for a millennium, she was already somewhat exhausted. Just then, she saw Li Wei, which led to the scene at the beginning. However, she never expected that the food she had set her sights on was not a weakling, but rather a cultivator who had cultivated true essence.

Although the opponent has already formed True Essence Pill, their foundation is not yet stable. With some effort, they can still be killed. Possessing the essence of True Essence Pill cultivator is definitely a great tonic for the Heavenly Fox Clan. It is believed that after absorbing it, they will definitely be able to restore their strength to its peak. At that time, they can do whatever they want, whether they go to heaven or earth.

After a short chase, Li Wei was overtaken by the fox demon, who threw out a human bone skull, which instantly transformed into a mountain and slammed down on Li Wei.

With a loud crash, the skull smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater. Amidst the flying dust and stones, Li Wei only had time to dodge the skull before being blasted away by the powerful impact.

A tickle in his throat caused Li Wei to spit out a mouthful of blood, clearly indicating that he had suffered a significant internal injury.

Thinking to himself, this fox demon was truly too powerful. Even the Green-Robed Sword Immortal in the Demon Suppression Pagoda didn't possess such formidable abilities. Sensing danger approaching again, before even landing, Li Wei used his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to instantly arrive at the city gate.

Because of the array set up around Sand City, even Shifting Forms and Changing Positions wouldn't allow them to escape, but even so, it bought Li Wei a lot of time.

Along the way, Li Wei thought a lot. The fox demon must have escaped from the Demon Refining Pot. The Daoist had said that when he obtained the Demon Refining Pot, he could only control less than one percent of the area inside. In the other ninety-nine percent of the area, hundreds of thousands of demons were kneeling. It was unknown who had trapped them or when. Perhaps it was the previous owner of the Demon Refining Pot, but without a doubt, among those hundreds of thousands of demons, there were extremely powerful beings. The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon from just now must have been one of them.

He is currently no match for such a monster and can only flee. Fortunately, he has already obtained the Demon Refining Pot, so he can only hand it over to the Demon Refining Pot Daoist before making a decision.

After thinking it over, Li Wei was about to leave through the teleportation array when the Sky-Piercing Fox Demon caught up with him. From a distance, the fox demon spat out a beam of red light, which struck Li Wei in the back.

Before that, Li Wei also used his magic to control the Black Spiral Sword, which pierced the fox demon with lightning speed. In a flash of blood, the Black Spiral Sword pierced through the fox demon's abdomen.

As for the red light, it also shattered Li Wei's internal organs. A mouthful of foul blood spurted from Li Wei's mouth. With his last bit of consciousness, Li Wei hugged the Demon Refining Pot and activated the teleportation array.

When Li Wei saw the Daoist priest again, he could no longer hold on, his vision went black, and he fainted and collapsed to the ground.
