Counting them, seven were still alive, and only four were able to stand up, and all of them were injured in varying degrees of severity.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the ashes around him, and after confirming that there were no remnants, he looked at the seven people and exhaled lightly.

"So, we ......"

He spoke.

But at this point, before he could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

At the same time, his eyes suddenly trembled, and a look of horror immediately appeared on his face.

In an instant, as soon as his hand was raised, the spiritual power of the Dog Beating Stick had already flown forward, and he himself quickly swept away in the direction of the seven people.

At this time, the seven people who were filled with joy and sorrow because of their rebirth had already relaxed their vigilance, and they didn't notice Dongfang Shuo who was rushing towards them at the first time.

Boom!

Suddenly, the earth cracked, and at the same time, a thick stone pillar rose from the ground beside the seven men.

The stone pillar that rushed out of the crack in the earth had just grown more than five zhang, and it fell down very quickly, suddenly forming a fierce aura, which pressed heavily on the bodies of the seven people, instantly causing the wounds of the seven people to crack at the same time, and blood burst out.

Immediately after, the heavy stone pillar tumbled down, and suddenly smashed on the seven people who were unable to avoid it at all, and with an extremely rapid momentum, they crushed the seven people one after another, and finally made them turn into blood-colored buds under the stone pillar.

Bang!

The thunder came immediately, and in an instant, a thousand heavy thunderbolts fell, and the terrifying power shattered the stone pillar into powder in an instant.

Immediately, Dongfang Shuo's footsteps landed and quickly soared, reaching out and grabbing the root of the stone pillar that was about to retreat to the earth. Stepping on the earth, the spiritual power surged, mobilizing the muscles up and down the body, and an unprecedented huge force was quickly exerted to the root of this stone pillar.

Under the huge force, the earthquake trembled, and then cracked, and then this 'stone pillar' was uprooted by Dongfang Shuo and thrown into the air, which is a solid stone giant with a height of more than ten zhang. And the stone pillar of Fangcai is its arm.

Snort.

Looking at the stone man who was thrown into the air, Dongfang Shuo stared, and a sharp edge was released from the tip of the dog-beating stick, and the killing intent was directed at the stone man's chest.

Beneath the solid rock of that chest lies its lifeline, the demon spirit of the first hundred years, controlling this stone man.

Trample!

As soon as his feet moved, he immediately rose from the ground.

And the stone man in the air raised his arm back, and then slapped a palm towards Dongfang Shuo.

Bang!

The huge force bombarded, and a fierce wave of qi swept out in an instant, sweeping over the scorched black earth dozens of feet inside.

"Human cubs, the deity has lived for hundreds of years, and with your strength to build a foundation, you are not the opponent of the deity at all. A sense of meaning came out of the stone man's chest, and after entering Dongfang Shuo's consciousness, it became a voice, "You are still an adult, give up resistance, and become the nourishment of the deity!"

Dongfang Shuo stared.

To be able to possess such intelligence, this demon spirit has to be formed for seven or eight hundred years, to say the least.

And in this environment, once the longevity of the demon spirit breaks through the thousand-year-old, its strength can easily exceed that of the ordinary refining period.

If it had been kept, the army behind it would have lost no number of people.

"If you are not greedy, you will have a big meal after I leave, but unfortunately, now, you have no chance. ”

Dongfang Shuo opened his mouth, and when the voice fell, a sharp edge crossed the blade of the sword in his hand.

Whew!

In an instant, the sword qi poured into the stone man's arm, instantly splitting his arm apart, and in the blink of an eye, countless earth and stones flew outward.

By this time, the stone man had already broken his arms.

And when it was about to raise its feet and clamp towards Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo was quick with one eye, and stepped on it while the air was not paying attention, and then dodged the stone man's legs and swept the sword straight towards the stone man's chest.

Boom!

Then, the blade of his sword slammed into the stone man's chest, stabbing an inch into it before stopping.

"Tru...... With your weak attack, you can't even penetrate the armor of the deity, and you can't even penetrate the armor of the deity!" Seeing the blade of the sword stop in his chest, the demon spirit that controlled the stone man immediately burst out laughing.

But Dongfang Shuo's expression was unmoved at this moment.

And then, this demon spirit controlled the stone man, and was about to reorganize the stone man's structure and regenerate his arms, when a crack suddenly appeared in the stone man's chest where the sword blade was opposed, and then a compelling sword qi swept inward, and the sword blade against the stone man's chest also slowly sank inward.

Seeing this, the demon spirit instantly panicked.

"How is it possible! How can it be possible for a mere foundation to pierce my breastplate!"

The demon spirit said in horror.

At this time, listening to this voice and feeling the horror emanating from the sound, Dongfang Shuo raised his eyes slightly and looked into the depths of the stone man's chest, as if his eyes could penetrate the solid stone and see the demon spirit inside the stone.

"This one of mine is a seven-grade spirit sword. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

And at this time, the blade was still sinking.

The voice of the demon spirit was still terrified: "Even if it is a seven-rank sword, it is impossible...... You ......"

Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Moreover, I am still a hundred heavy foundations." ”

And this time, he didn't give the demon any more time.

When the words fell, there was a clanging sound above the sword blade, and in an instant, an unprecedented sword qi was released, which directly pierced the stone man's chest, and after rushing out of the stone man's back, it continued to tear apart nearly a hundred zhang of heaven and earth aura.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo drew his sword, stepped on the stone man's body at the same time, and jumped straight backwards.

Just as he left the Shiren Ten Feet Range, a group of demon spirits rushed out of the mountains and forests in the extreme distance, and they frantically swarmed up like a swarm of bees, frantically eating away at the Shiren who had not yet had time to land. These demon spirits were all attracted by Dongfang Shuo's sword qi, but they regarded this demon spirit that had been killed by Dongfang Shuo as something that released sword qi.

After dividing up the power of the demon spirit, the demon spirits who swarmed up retreated one after another.

It's like the tide ebb and flow, and when everything settles, it is calm again.

Dongfang Shuo stepped across the scorched black earth, walked to the bloodstains on the scorched black, and squinted slightly.

After a moment of silence, he leaned over and picked up the two rings, at least the rings weren't too damaged.

So he turned and walked away.

Since arriving at Taniguchi, by now, more than half of the 500-strong team has been killed or wounded.

Even, it was only an hour before and after.

"This spiritual realm is really a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

Dongfang Shuo stared, and after taking a deep breath, he put away his heavy sword and stepped up, leaving the scorched earth in a hurry.

Soon after he left, the charred earth suddenly began to churn, and then milky white crystal worms poured out of the scorched earth and began to wriggle on the ground.

Wherever the crystal worms passed, the charred black was devoured clean, and the soil of the earth became soft as if it had been turned over, and the land returned to its original appearance, and there was no trace of being burned.

But then, the crystal worms did not burrow back into the ground, but all headed in the direction of Dongfang Shuo's departure. After all the crystal worms were facing the direction of Dongfang Shuo's departure, they began to move, wriggling towards the direction of Dongfang Shuo's departure......

......

After Dongfang Shuo returned, everyone was repairing.

It seems that after staying in place for a long time, everyone has adapted to this environment, and the originally tense expressions on each other's faces have eased a lot.

Even Higashino Shun, who was the least courageous in the whole army, had a calm look on his face when Dongfang Shuo came back, as if he was thinking about something with his head down.

When they heard the footsteps, including Higashino Shun, everyone's eyes were cast.

After seeing Dongfang Shuo's figure clearly, everyone got up, and Dongye Shun also walked towards him with his sword in his hand.

"Well, what's the situation?"

After approaching, Higashino Shun said in a low voice.

The reason why I want to whisper is also because I am afraid of provoking the demon spirit and causing myself to be killed.

When asked about this, Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly.

"Didn't save them. ”

He said.

This voice was not loud or small, but it was heard by dozens of soldiers at the head of the line.

And Dongye Xun looked back at the soldiers, and then looked at Dongfang Shuo again: "Do your best, just do your best." ”

Seeing him comforting himself, Dongfang Shuo also smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Then, he straightened out more than 200 people.

"Go ahead and try to explore this valley before sunset. Dongfang Shuo commanded to everyone.

As the words fell, he pressed the dog-beating stick on his waist with one hand, and turned to face forward.

But he had just taken a step, and before the soles of his feet could land, his whole body suddenly stared, and his footsteps were just hanging in the air.

At this time, Higashino Shun saw him pause, so he also followed his line of sight, and faintly saw a looming shadow behind the shade of the trees in the distance.

If you look closely, it looks like a figure.

"That's a person?"

Higashino was stunned.

The only ones sent by the empire were them, so it was obvious that the figures in the distance must not be their own.

And Dongfang Shuo fell at this moment, shook his head at the same time, and said in a low voice: "That's not a person. ”

As the words fell, he motioned to the people behind him not to move, while he continued to move forward, stepping out of a distance of about ten zhang and standing firm.

His gaze was fixed on the 'figure' in the distance, and his eyes were also vigilant.

He could see the figure, but he couldn't feel its breath.

Because of this, he was stunned when he turned around just now.

He could conclude that there was a wraith ahead. And the demon spirit has no breath, so there are two possibilities for not being able to perceive the breath, one is that it is too weak and there is almost no aura, and the other is because it is too strong to make it difficult for Dongfang Shuo to perceive its existence.

Humanoid demon spirits, if nothing else, are the second possibility.

Whew.

Suddenly, a wind blew through the woods, causing the branches and leaves to rub, and the light and shadow of the fragments passing through the branches and leaves also moved.

In the next moment, almost at the moment when Dongfang Shuo was in a daze, the figure came to Dongfang Shuo's body ten zhang in front of him from that extreme distance out of thin air, without the slightest movement, even Dongfang Shuo couldn't see how it moved.

However, the demon spirit is derived from the accumulation of heaven and earth aura, so its essence is a collection of heaven and earth aura.

Therefore, if the demon spirit can do such a trick by merging itself into the aura of heaven and earth, and using the aura of heaven and earth to instantly reshape itself in another position, if the demon spirit can do this, then it is not surprising that it can move so far in an instant.

Dongfang Shuo's heart was solemn, but his face was still calm.

In the face of a strong enemy, we must not show cowardice.

"Excuse me, are you leaving?"

The demon spirit suddenly spoke, asking Dongfang Shuo and the soldiers behind Dongfang Shuo in human language.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes trembled, and he immediately replied: "If we want to go deeper, what will you do?"

Hearing such an answer, a smile suddenly appeared on the demon spirit's face, and he said, "That's great. ”

Looking at the smile on its face, Dongfang Shuo's heart became more and more solemn.

"Okay what?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

The demon spirit continued to smile and said, "My mother said that if I want to invite you to be a meal on the plate, you can't miss a single one. It's great that you don't want to leave, but want to go deeper. ”
