The death method of Lin Changfeng, the god of war of the Chu State, was almost exactly the same as that of the three-legged golden crow.

They were also beheaded by the Taiyi Divine Sword, and then they were thought to be haunted by grievances, and the corpses were divided into six pieces, suppressed on all sides, and made them impossible to reunite forever.

"It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Li Qing frowned, and there was always a strange feeling lingering in his heart.

But it seems unlikely that there can be any other explanation than coincidence. After so many thousands of years, if there is any connection between the two sides, Li Qing absolutely does not believe it.

Since the suppression of Jin Wu's corpse, Dongfang Mansion has finally calmed down completely, and there has been no incident similar to that of a ghost.

In the next year, the battle between the righteous and the demons entered a white-hot stage.

The combined forces of the Demon Clan and the Demon Gate swept the world, divided into multiple ways to attack various regional forces, and one of them hit the side of Qingshan City.

It's time to come, but it's still coming after all.

Fortunately, the Dongfang family had already prepared, and they had already mastered a peerless Dao weapon, so they were naturally full of confidence and wanted to use this weapon to fight a beautiful counterattack.

With this divine sword as the core, they arranged a peerless sword formation, covering the entire Qingshan City.

As soon as the enemy stepped into the sword formation, infinite sword qi would be stimulated, overwhelming the sky, and it would be slashed into powder in an instant.

Li Qing recognized it at a glance, this sword array was the prototype of the later Taiyi sword array, there may be some differences in it, but the similarity has reached more than seventy percent.

Li Qing can be said to have a deep understanding of the power of this sword formation, blocking the Zhao and Wei coalition forces for seven days and seven nights, and finally relying on a hundred Shenwu cannons to break through it.

I have to say that the power of the Dao weapon is terrifying, no wonder the Dongfang family is so confident, with this artifact, what is there to fear?

If it is the main force of the demon clan and the demon gate to attack Qingshan City, it must be how far and how far to escape. But the problem is that the enemy is only a small part of the army of the demon clan and the demon gate at best, and they think they can still handle it.

On the second day after they arranged the sword array, the army of the Demon Clan and the Demon Gate finally arrived and quickly surrounded Qingshan City.

The demon clan drove thousands of demon beasts to attack the city, while the demon clan mainly drove a large number of mortals to die, and the demon powerhouses behind followed closely.

Entering the sword array, countless sword qi emerged, cutting the enemy into pulp, whether it was a human or a demon, or a common person, all of them were killed.

Li Qing's heart was trembling when he saw the tragedy of the war, especially the countless innocent people who were driven up to die like cattle and sheep, this kind of behavior was really infuriating.

Qingshan City has completely become a battlefield winch fighter, countless humans die every moment, and countless demon beasts turn into pulp.

Blood stained the earth red, and all the clouds in the sky turned bloody, and the sky was overcast.

The sword formation composed of Dao weapons as the core is incredibly powerful in defense, and the demon clan and the demon gate alliance have been attacking for a month, but they have not been able to defeat it.

In the course of a month, the enemy suffered numerous casualties and a large number of corpses piled up. It's just that most of these dead people are ordinary people, or low-level demon beasts, all of them are cannon fodder sent to death, consuming the living power of Qingshan City.

The demon beasts and the demon gate are all ruthless and unrighteous, so they naturally don't care about the life and death of these low-level martial artists and demon beasts, and constantly send these cannon fodder to attack the city, day and night.

Seeing that the corpses in the battlefield were piling up more and more, the real powerhouses of the Demon Gate finally took action, and they used these corpses as a foundation to arrange a corpse mountain array around Qingshan City, completely turning a radius of hundreds of miles into a peerless area.

When the air was filled with death, no human beings could survive in it, and soon the people in Qingshan City died one by one.

Blood mist fell from the sky, corroding everything, and the defense line of Qingshan City completely collapsed.

The powerhouse of the Demon Gate was mad and completely turned this place into a hell on earth. Even if they can't break the Dao Weapon Array, they can kill everyone inside, this is their way to crack it.

"We surrender!" There are still some survivors in Dongfang Mansion, and since the Dao weapon is suppressed here, it is difficult for the evil force to invade.

"Inflicting such a big loss on us, and still want to surrender? Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" The strong man of the Demon Gate looked indifferent.

"It's over!" said a look of despair on the faces of everyone in the Dongfang family.

Since forging the Dao Weapon, they originally thought that the Dongfang Family was about to rise, but they did not expect to fall from heaven to hell. The evil methods of the Demon Gate are beyond their imagination.

"Even if you die together, you can't be allowed to take away the Dao weapon!" The ancestor of the Dongfang family raised the divine sword in his hand, as if he was raising a small sun, shining brightly.

"It's not good, he's going to blow himself up!" The powerhouses of the Demon Clan and the Demon Sect were taken aback, and immediately hit the Eastern Ancestor, hoping to blow up the other party one step ahead.

"Haha, it's too late, the Dao weapon self-explosion has already been launched, even if you kill me, you won't be able to reverse this ending!" Dongfang Ancestor laughed wildly.

The Dao weapon in his hand became hotter and hotter, and countless heaven and earth spiritual qi poured in, and an aura of destruction emanated.

"Explode! Destroy everything!" Dongfang Ancestor roared angrily.

Kiss!

The self-explosion didn't happen, but a crisp sound came, and the smile on Dongfang Ancestor's face instantly froze, and when he turned his head, he saw that the divine sword in his hand was like a broken balloon, quickly drying up.

"What's going on, why isn't it under my control?" Dongfang Ancestor was in a hurry, and hurriedly entered the True Yuan, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response.

The next moment, he was beaten by the demon powerhouses of the surrounding demon clans.

Rumble!

Below, the sword array was broken by the demon clan and the demon gate powerhouse, and they entered the Dongfang Mansion to kill, and the door was full of annihilation.

Qingshan City has completely turned into a hell on earth, the blood is overwhelming, destroying everything, even the strong people of the Demon Gate and the Demon Clan can't stand this environment, the coalition army quickly left this place, and there is no longer a living person.

The white bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and in the decades that followed, no human dared to approach this place.

Humans and demons, positive and demonic, all kinds of blood and corpses are all mixed together, precipitating and fermenting here, constantly converging and condensing, producing some kind of unpredictable change, flowing to some dark and unknown corner.

Over time, this place completely turned into a cursed place, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, it was shrouded in a layer of hazy dark green gas, which was very eerie and terrifying.

In fact, in the past few decades, the powerhouses of the Demon Gate have created more than one such similar hell on earth, but it will soon return to normal, and there is no place like here in Qingshan City, but it has become more and more terrifying.

It's a puzzling thing.

However, they were all busy fighting with the righteous path powerhouses, and they didn't bother to pay attention to this weird cursed place in the rear, so they kept letting it go.

Anyway, there are so many bad things to do, and there is no psychological burden for a long time.

At this time, the battle between the righteous and the demons has temporarily entered a stalemate stage. It was a protracted war, each occupying half of the country and unable to defeat the other side completely.

Decades on, the war has not subsided.

In fact, the righteous path forces are still stronger, but at the beginning, they were caught off guard by the demon sect and the demon clan, and suffered heavy losses, and more than a dozen of the one hundred and eight sects were destroyed, so they were temporarily at a disadvantage.

When they came to their senses, they immediately made an effective response, and since then the two sides have been fighting back and forth, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

During this period, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the rear area ruled by the Demon Gate.

However, this rebellion came and went quickly, and after causing a certain amount of trouble, it was quickly suppressed.

After investigation, the demon powerhouse was surprised to find that the forms of these rebels were all extremely weird, neither human, nor demon, and on the whole, it could be seen that they were human forms, but on top of this, many strange things grew.

Some have scales on their bodies and are invulnerable, while others have sharp claws in their hands, which are fatal with one blow. Moreover, the physical fitness of these mutants is much higher than that of ordinary people, and their recovery ability is extremely fast, and there are even cases where they reinstall it after their arms are broken, and they are restored to the same as before.

It can be seen that these rebels should all be mutated from ordinary people, but their strength is stronger than ordinary martial artists, which makes them feel very shocked.

It is simply an incredible thing for ordinary people to have the power of a martial artist.

Nine out of ten of the human beings in the world are ordinary people, and if all of them have this kind of power, what a pity it would be?

There's just a downside to this, most mutants are completely insane and have become outright insane, frantically attacking anything they come across like beasts, acting only on instinct.

Only a few mutants are still awake.

After careful investigation, they finally knew the source of the mutation, which was actually the cursed land where Qingshan City was located, which constantly emitted demonic energy, causing the surrounding ordinary people to be eroded and mutated.

As for the reason why some people can stay awake, it is also very simple, if they inhale less demonic energy, then they will be able to stay sober, and if they inhale too much, they will completely lose their minds.

This conclusion made the powerhouse of the Demon Gate ecstatic, if this cursed land was used well, wouldn't it be able to create countless warriors in batches?

They sent strong men into this cursed land overnight, and carefully probed for a while, but they could not find any mystery.

This is an indescribable power, a new power that has never been seen at all, it seems to be mixed with demonic energy and demonic energy, blood energy and death energy, etc., anyway, it is a kind of gas that is born from the mixture of negative forces.

Since this gas had never been seen before, it was a new thing in the world, and in order to distinguish it from ordinary demonic energy, they named it "Dark Power".

And this mysterious cursed place is what they call ...... The Source of Darkness!
