In fact, the boundary between demon beasts and spirit beasts is extremely general or blurred, but it can be recognized at a glance: those who are born with cruelty and are ferocious and eager to kill are all classified as demon beasts. Although born with ferocity, those who are spiritually dominant and have a gentle temperament are spirit animals.

In essence, the difference between spirit beasts and demon beasts lies in their respective physique and talents: demon beasts belong to and have the ability to devour the spiritual power of heaven and earth for their own use, and their growth and cultivation are also completely derived from devouring the spiritual power of heaven and earth, or devouring other demon beasts, spirit beasts and heavenly treasures.

As for spirit beasts, they rely more on bloodline, and they also need to improve themselves by devouring heavenly and earthly treasures of the same attribute. However, they can't devour other demon beasts, otherwise their own bloodlines will be polluted, causing spiritual rebellion, and thus falling into the demon path and becoming a demon path. Among them, there is a class of spirit beasts that are blessed, and they are called fairy beasts or divine beasts.

Immortal beasts or divine beasts are born with bloodline talents. They completely inherit the ability of the ancestral lineage, and they don't even need to cultivate, they will awaken their bloodline as the growth cycle progresses, and become the overlord of heaven and earth with the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth.

And Ah Long, the mountain protection spirit beast of Haoran Sect, belongs to one of these categories.

Of course, this kind of immortal beast or divine beast is extremely rare, and there are only three or two of them in the entire Qingyun Star.

The growth cycle of the above three beasts is extremely slow, no matter how far they cultivate before they "awaken their minds", they only have their own instincts and spiritual consciousness, and they do not have any spiritual wisdom to speak of.

In addition, the growth cycle ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 years, which is the second stage of "transformation". After transforming into a form, you can cultivate on your own like a monk, and you are not limited by the body of a beast.

And among them, the growth cycle of divine beasts or fairy beasts is the slowest, and the more powerful the race, the more so, like a dragon, a thousand years of young growth, two thousand years of awakening wisdom, three thousand years of only in the youth.

Therefore, in the mouths of the monks, according to this growth cycle, this lineage is divided into: first-order asexual beasts, second-order awakening beasts, third-order shape-shifting beasts, fourth-order cultivation beasts, and then fifth-order returning beasts, sixth-order Dao beasts, seventh-order Heavenly Source Beasts, eighth-order Heavenly Divine Beasts, and finally, ninth-order Heavenly Dao beasts.

And right now, this fire-scaled viper is in the stage of "awakening wisdom", and when it comes to its own cultivation, it is equivalent to a human monk who is transitioning from the foundation building stage to the Dan stage.

"Don't act rashly......" Seeing that the fire-scaled viper had been staring at him, Senior Brother Li subconsciously stopped his right hand and reminded: "This demon beast has awakened its wisdom and is about to awaken its mind, this blood spirit ginseng is the best tonic after it awakens its mind, if it is snatched away, ......"

"Hiss——!" However, before Senior Brother Li finished speaking, the fire-scaled viper's eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity!

Call!

In this instant, everyone's faces suddenly changed drastically, because in a flash of red light, the fire-scaled viper had already appeared in front of Senior Brother Li's eyes!

The bloody mouth and the fiery jade fangs are already visible!

"Damn!" In a hurry, Senior Brother Li only had time to use the hilt of the sword in his hand to make a fist and subconsciously slam it on the opponent's side jaw.

Bang!

This blow was so heavy that it was able to knock the fire viper's bloody mouth open, but the fire viper turned around and drew it with the tail of fire!

Call!

This tail whip, although Senior Brother Li stepped back, was still burned by the flame on the tail of the fire on his face, and the skin and flesh were scorched!

"Do it!" At this moment, the other senior brothers suddenly rushed forward, their long swords came out, and their spiritual skills swarmed in!

Boom!

As soon as the fire-scaled viper hit its head, a burst of flame sword burst on the spot!

Call!

After that, it slammed the void with its fire tail, and as it flew backwards, another tail slammed into the dozens of blue light blades that swept over!

Sou!

After that, it used the trunk as a guide and flew up in an instant!

Bang bang bang!

More than a dozen golden needles burst out in a volley on the trunk of the tree, but only two dead leaves of wind chimes were shaken off.

Rumble!

Senior Brother Li's flaming palm followed, but it only left a charred palm print on the trunk!

"Go!" Under the control of a senior brother in the distance, the flying sword suddenly turned sharply upwards and rushed into the canopy of the wind bell tree.

Ding, ding, ding!

When I heard the sound of gold and iron clashing and colliding, the fire-scaled viper suddenly flew out from the top of the canopy! Then, when I saw a fire mouth, it spewed out a huge flame to the senior brother who was wielding the flying sword below!

Boom!

The flames of the fire were even instantaneous!

"Array!" But at this juncture, Senior Brother Li suddenly came, and after he slammed the senior brother away with one shoulder, he immediately crossed his waist and his fists expanded sharply and tightened sharply, crossing in front of him to block!

Boom!

The fire exploded for a moment, and Senior Brother Li was suddenly knocked out of the air, only to stop with his arms trembling, shocked and angry.

All of this is a long story, but since the sudden attack of the Fire Scale Viper, it was only three or four breaths for Senior Brother Li to retreat from his injuries.

Woooo

The three flying swords pierced one after another, but they didn't even hit a single scale of the firescale viper, and the flaming fist that followed the flying sword exploded into a cloud of fireworks the moment it hit the firescale viper's head!

The fist of fire ...... "hiss" did not hurt the fire scale viper at all, but it slowly poked its head out of the fireworks.

Looking at its appearance and eyes, it is already furious!

"Not good!"

"Hurry back!" At the moment when Senior Brother Li and the other person exclaimed, the fire-scaled viper that was like a bowstring on an arrow suddenly shot out: "Ha——!"

However, it is too late to retreat at this time!

Bang!

A senior brother who wielded the flying sword didn't have time to put away his sword, and was hit by a firescale viper while leaping backwards!

Burst!

After a mouthful of foam, the person has already flown upside down!

Call!

Senior Brother Li flew over, grabbed him and took him away, and then shouted without looking back: "This demon is not afraid of fire! Buy time for Senior Brother Huang!

"Okay!" the other two senior brothers shouted in unison, and then flew out in unison, circling in the air and wielding their flying swords to attack the firescale viper.

"Shhh

These people not only intend to rob themselves of their elixir, but also dare to provoke themselves!

Boom!

It burst out with a whip of rage, and one of the flying swords instantly shattered into two pieces! The face of the senior brother who controlled the flying sword changed, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding!

At this time, after crashing into the flying sword on the other side, the firescale viper fell to the ground with a bang, thus opening its bloody mouth towards the sky: "Hiss!"

The moment it opened its fire mouth, a "neutron" suddenly appeared above its fire mouth! After that, fire and energy rushed and converged from all directions!

"Stop it! It's going to use Neidan!" Seeing this, Senior Brother Li, who had just placed the injured person under the tree, suddenly changed his complexion, and then flew over with his ground grazing!

Syllable!

At the same time, Senior Brother Huang, as Senior Brother Li called, suddenly stepped forward, crossed his hands and began to accumulate spiritual power in his own golden light.

Senior Brother Li approached, his eyes were filled with spiritual light, and he kept waving his hand to emit a meteorite-like fireball, and hissed and shouted: "It has not yet succeeded! Don't let it rush out!"

Bang bang bang!

However, not a single flaming meteorite could get close to the firescale viper, and it was stopped by the clods of earth that it slammed into the ground with its firetail whip, causing it to fly!

Syllable!

At this time, the two senior brothers who formed an encirclement in the air were also side by side in an instant, and grabbed the left and right hands of the two people together.

"The wind borrows the fire, the fire helps the wind might!the wind and the fire!Lin Shan!" The two chanted in unison, and then each moved his palm and pushed sharply towards the middle and front of the two.

Boom!

Suddenly, a whirlwind of flames was sent out by the two of them, sweeping towards the fire-scaled viper like a tornado!

Bang!

But at this moment, the fire-scaled viper suddenly slammed the ground with its fire tail, thus giving up the condensation of the fire source and crashing headlong into the flame whirlwind!

Bang bang bang......

Although the scales around its body were shattered in pieces, and its skull was covered in blood, the flame whirlwind was also directly shattered in half!

Burst!

The two senior brothers who worked together to unleash their spiritual skills suddenly spurted blood, and at this moment, the fire scale viper collided with its head and body!

Boom!

The two of them flew out upside down in unison, but they were caught by Senior Brother Li in time and flew backwards!

"Evil beast!" At this moment, Senior Brother Huang suddenly shouted, then suddenly raised his foot and stepped on the ground, and rushed towards the fire-scaled viper with a sharp swing of his right fist: "Death!"

"Ha-ah!" The fire-scaled viper's eyes were about to split, and as soon as he used the fire tail to tap the ground, he opened the huge mouth of the brazier and rushed towards Senior Brother Huang!

Boom!

At this moment, the "flame neutrons" in the distance, which had been gathered by the firescale viper, instantly shrank and disappeared! At the same time, in front of the fire-scaled viper's crater, a flame like a spark mixed with a physical fireball suddenly erupted!

"Die!" With this hideous look, the golden light in the sky on Senior Brother Huang's body suddenly gathered in his right fist, condensing a huge pillar of golden light!

Rumble!

When the two touched, they exploded! The sky was full of fire, and the gold pieces exploded!

Burst!

Senior Brother Huang was defeated by the huge force, and was swept out by the impact, spitting blood and turning pale!

Whew-

In the midst of the roar and spread, a flash of fire suddenly flew out from it: "Hiss——!"

The fire-scaled viper had no scales all over its body, and it was even more blind in one eye, which looked extremely terrifying, especially the ferocity and madness in its one eye, which was even more terrifying!

Burst!

Its counterattack before death was suddenly intercepted by Senior Brother Li, who was suddenly intercepted, pierced through the vital point!

Senior Brother Li put his sword in both hands, and directly inserted the fire-scaled viper from the air in front of Senior Brother Huang to the big tree ten zhang away in an instant, before stopping. And Senior Brother Huang was able to retreat to the ground unharmed.

Bang!

The body of the bell tree shook violently, and the leaves fell in scattered bushes......

"Hiss......" The fire-scaled viper is fierce and fierce, even if it is unwilling, it will eventually dissipate its vitality......

"Heh-" Senior Brother Li was relieved, let go of his long sword, and sat down against the trunk of the tree.

"Hmph......" Senior Brother Li squatted there crookedly, and said with a bitter smile on his face: "A mere first-order demon beast, it is actually half of this blood spirit ginseng pill alone......"

Senior Brother Huang also grinned with trembling faces, and then sat down on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "I won't come over next time......

"Alas...... It's hard to practice......" The other three looked at each other, and also lowered their heads and smiled bitterly.

In this short period of time, the battle was on the verge of breaking out, and all four were injured, but one was lucky...... It can be seen that if they are compared to demon beasts, they still lack some creation.

"......" Senior Brother Li breathed a deep sigh of relief, then stood up and pulled out the long sword inserted in the firescale viper's body.

Boom.

The snake's body fell, kicking up dust, but that was it. Seeing this, Senior Brother Li shook his head silently, and then went down with a sword, cut the seven-inch neck of the fire-scaled viper, and looked at the bloody air mass inside it—this was the inner pill of the fire-scaled viper, which had not yet been completely condensed, and now once it was revealed, it turned into a blood-colored gas and dissipated.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Li couldn't help but shake his head, and then walked towards the blood spirit ginseng inside with a long sword. The corpse of this fire-scaled viper has no value at all.

Call......

When Senior Brother Li walked towards the Blood Spirit Ginseng, a long boot stepped diagonally from the side next to a wind bell tree farther behind......
