Chapter 202: Yanzhou
Before life and death, Chang Ling had to admit that he was an ordinary person, and his life and death were the first things.
But after solving this basic need, Chang Ling wanted to do something other than living.
The news in the gathering place was still a little closed, after all, no one was distracted to pay attention to the outside world before, and after Chang Ling repaired it, he came to the bazaar under the jurisdiction of Yuanhuamen to inquire about the news.
She had only heard Luo Yue occasionally mention a few words about the demon spirit, and she thought that it was some 'remnants' after the demon clan was cut down, but after this inquiry, she realized that it was already so serious.
The demon beasts in the immeasurable sea were not spared, and now after they were polluted by demonic energy, they actually abandoned their nature, and would rather grind their fish tails to blood than go to land to hunt other creatures.
The situation in several states that intersect with the immeasurable sea is quite tragic.
The demon spirit seems to be endless, but once one of them comes ashore, the consequences are immeasurable.
Mortals are powerless in the face of such 'creatures'.
Even the most ordinary small fish, after being contaminated by demonic energy, its own strength is close to that of a Condensing Realm cultivator.
If the monks who go to exterminate the demon spirits are not careful, their sharp teeth will pierce their flesh and skin, and then transform into the next demon spirit.
The creatures that have been contaminated with demonic energy have greatly improved their combat effectiveness, and it is said that the cultivators of the Condensing Realm who have turned into demonic spirits can actually confront the monks of the Jindan Realm head-on.
The reinforcement teams of various inland sect families continued to rush to the front line, but there was no good news for a long time.
Countless edicts were issued on the mainland, and except for those who were forcibly recruited by the family sect, there were very few people who volunteered to go.
Even less than the people in the previous demon punishing operation.
After all, the previous demon punishment was still dealing with human cultivation.
Now it's right.,But it's really a demon spirit who doesn't have the wisdom and doesn't know the pain, and fights all by instinct.。
Chang Ling walked around the bazaar under the Yuanhua Gate, and almost every house had some inspiring words written on the walls, but the yellowed paper could only continue to sway in the wind.
Passers-by chose to turn a blind eye.
The fierce name of the demon spirit is becoming more and more mysterious throughout the continent.
Ah Bi had never seen a demon spirit, so he couldn't provide any advice, and Chang Ling could only hearsay.
Overall, the market of Yuanhuamen is still very stable.
No matter how powerful the demons are, the people here don't think they can break through the layers of defenses and make it to the interior.
The demon spirits are powerful, and the immortal elders of the Yuanhua Gate are equally powerful.
This is something that they shouldn't worry about at all.
Looking at the bustling and lively bazaar like in the past, Chang Ling didn't know what to say for a while.
Unlike these people, she really escaped from Youzhou, and the fierce and vast aura of the demon clan seems to be still with her.
It's a power she's never seen before.
How weak can a demon spirit that is contaminated with such a strong demonic aura be?
There is still no situation where a high-level monk is contaminated by demonic energy, if a Yuanying Realm monk becomes a demon spirit, who in the entire Tianxuan Continent can deal with him?
Moreover, such a thing as a demon spirit, unless it is completely destroyed, will never end.
Chang Ling bought it at the market again, the talisman in her hand had long been exhausted, and the Yuanhua Sect was very good at making talismans, and the price in this market was very fair.
However, the thunder and fire talisman to deal with the evil things is out of stock in every shop.
The kind-hearted shopkeeper explained to Chang Ling: "Now that the demon spirits are raging, the relevant talismans that have been accumulated before have also been handed over to the immortal chief who went to the disaster relief, and as for those immortals in the sect, the relevant talismans drawn now have also been sent to the front line." ”
"Not only in this bazaar, I'm afraid that the entire Yuanzhou can't buy such a talisman. ”
Chang Ling nodded, waved his hand, and bought all the other talismans in this shop.
The fly in the ointment is that the shops in this bazaar are probably the lowest, and even if Chang Ling uses those talismans now, he throws them out one by one, although he buys a lot, but in actual combat, Chang Ling's improvement is really limited.
Soon, Chang Ling left the market of Yuanhuamen.
To the east of Yuanzhou, where Yuanhua Gate is located, is Yanzhou.
The place where the smoke of gunfire is everywhere.
Coming out of the gathering place, Chang Ling can be regarded as really walking on the land of Yuanzhou.
It is worthy of the territory under the jurisdiction of Yuanhuamen, and Yuanzhou is more prosperous than any place Chang Ling has ever visited.
I met a lot of monks along the way.
The direction of travel is the opposite of Chang Ling.
Most of them are from Yanzhou.
There are no checkpoints between the states under the control of the Nine Great Sects, and they can all pass at will, and at this time, I don't know if it can be called a good thing.
No one knows if there are hidden demon spirits in Yuanzhou now, or even beyond.
Most of the monks who escaped with Yanzhou were very embarrassed, and Chang Ling occasionally wanted to ask the people around him about the situation in Yanzhou when he was repairing, but all he got was a warning look.
Only when he was leaving, there would be a hurried voice to Chang Ling's ears: "Hurry up and run." ”
Along the way, what she heard and saw had made Chang Ling think she was well prepared, but when she actually came to Yanzhou, she found that she was still shallow before.
Not long after he came to Yanzhou, at best, he was about a hundred miles away from the junction of the two states, and Chang Ling saw a gray figure not far away.
At the same time, there was the screams of the crowd.
The speed of that gray shadow was not fast, but as time passed, it was no problem to catch up with the hundred and ten people in front of him.
This is what Chang Ling didn't expect, that gray shadow should be what ordinary people look like after being infected by demonic energy, even if they get some improvement, it is extremely limited.
If those dozens or hundreds of people were united, it would be perfectly fine to deal with the Gray Shadow.
It shouldn't be like now, where a group of people are running forward in despair, disorganized, and soon those who fall last will be bitten by the gray shadow.
Chang Ling sighed softly, and the Yuan Sacrifice Sword in his hand turned into a streamer, instantly killing the gray shadow on the ground.
The gray shadow twitched a few times, and a pair of gray eyes only stared at Chang Ling in mid-air.
Soon, his movements gradually stopped, wisps of black qi continued to escape from his body, and the ground was corroded and blackened.
Those who fled noticed the movement behind them, and after seeing the gray shadow that had 'died', they fell to the ground one by one with tears streaming down their faces, crying loudly and in despair.
Chang Ling waited for them to calm down a little before he stepped forward and asked, "Where are you from?"
After waiting to sort out the situation in Yanzhou from these people's soft complaints like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Chang Ling's face was very ugly.
At first, it was just that the fish on the beach kept coming to the shore, and the fishermen thought that the luck would improve and suddenly there was a catch, and before they could exchange the big fish for silver, they were bitten one by one.
Then they returned to their homes and aimed their fangs and claws at their loved ones.
First from village to village, then from town, the immortal cultivators who came to investigate the situation before were not spared.
When the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Gu family in Yanzhou really began to send people to suppress it, the situation was irreparable.
Many of their embarrassed fleeing people were Pulse Opening Realm cultivators, and perhaps only such a strong physique could support them to escape for so long.
"Why don't you go back and deal with that demon spirit?" Chang Ling still didn't ask after all.
After Chang Ling asked a few more questions, he waved his hand at these people, and then watched the figures of these people go farther and farther.
They all fled to Yuanzhou, but will Yuanzhou be a stable place?
If you don't deal with those demons, this escape will end one day.
Chang Ling didn't believe that those people didn't know this truth, but most people in the world expect others to pay for their own safety and life, and they don't want to fight their lives to protect 'others'.
Chang Ling stepped on the Yuan Sacrifice Sword again, his divine sense was released, and he moved forward all the way, investigating the situation around him all the way.
It seems that it was a very coincidence just now, and there are really not many demon spirits in this inland land.
At the end of the day, Chang Ling was already hundreds of miles away from Yuanzhou at this time, and he met thousands of fleeing mortals and low-level monks.
Of course, the monks who were in the same contemplation realm as she had also seen a lot.
Randomly crucified four or five of the weakest demon spirits, all of whom should have been transformed from ordinary people.
It's not so simple to kill the demon spirits, their weakness is in the heart, not only do they need to kill the center, but they also need to wait for a while to let the demonic energy in their bodies escape outward, and it is almost dispersed before they can pull the long sword away.
There are quite a few monks who turn around and leave after 'killing' the demon spirit, but even if they hurt the demon spirit, the demonic energy in their body is still there, so they continue to repair their bodies, and it doesn't take long for them to stand up again.
This came from the damage from behind, which made countless monks hit.
After listening to the words of a fleeing monk, Chang Ling couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Before, she also felt that the situation of the demon spirit was not simple, and she deliberately observed it for a while, coupled with the special 'serious injury' effect of the Yuan Sacrifice Sword, which made the demonic qi escape a little faster, and those demon spirits were barely eliminated by her.
After a short period of trimming, Chang Ling ran forward again.
As she went deeper and deeper, the devastation of the land finally revealed itself to her little by little.
Chang Ling began to encounter demon spirits who were once monks.
After transforming into a demon spirit, Chang Ling's divine sense could no longer detect their cultivation, and only when they were really entangled together, Chang Ling could clearly feel the terrifying aura.
Chang Ling had always been quite confident in the strength of her physical body, but as soon as she met this demon spirit, she was beaten upside down and flew out.
Barely standing still in mid-air, the demon spirit rushed up like a shadow.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the effect of the Yuan Sacrifice Sword is as effective when applied to the demon spirit as it is on the Yin Golem Zombie, but this time the sword hilt is already inlaid with a high-grade spirit stone.
Chang Ling couldn't care about being distressed, and hurriedly blocked the Yuan Sacrifice Sword in front of him, resisting the demon spirit that had already rushed to him.
While fighting, you also have to avoid being cut by the demon's dark nails.
At present, the known ways in which demon spirits use demonic energy to contaminate other living beings is that their long nails cut through the skin of living beings, and second, they bite with sharp teeth, and third, Chang Ling heard that some demon spirits have recently been able to spit out black 'magic liquid' in their mouths, and the rest of the living beings will transform into demon spirits as long as they are contaminated.
I don't know if there will be more methods of assimilation over time.
Chang Ling took a deep breath, his divine sense detected that there were no other living beings around, and he simply directly used the Sancai Sword Formation.
I have to say that on top of the Nine Heavens Demon Punishment Array in Yuanhua Gate, Chang Ling has indeed gained something.
After further deepening her understanding of the Dao, she now uses the 'most basic' magic array like the Sancai Sword Formation, which can be described as a fish in water.
Under the cover of the other two long swords, the Yuan Sacrifice Sword smoothly nailed into the heart of this demon spirit.
After this battle, Chang Ling had to find a secluded place to meditate and breathe.
This was just a demon spirit transformed into a Condensing Realm cultivator, and it had already made her fight so embarrassed.
If she continues, what awaits her?
Chang Ling took a deep breath, adjusted his state, clenched the long sword in his hand, and continued to walk forward.
After going deep into this place, she no longer dared to fly in the air.
Sometimes what is more terrifying than the demon spirit transformed by human cultivation is the transformation of demon beasts.
Originally, their physical bodies were extremely strong, and the instinct of battle in the demonic qi supplemented the link of their previous lack of sanity, I am afraid that even the demon beasts of the Enlightenment Wisdom Realm, Chang Ling could not be defeated.
(The realm of demon beasts is the same as that of the human race monks, except for the second realm of enlightenment and the fifth realm of transformation.) )
From time to time, there was a large blackened mark on the ground.
It was all corroded by demonic energy.
Every time he saw that shocking trace, Chang Ling couldn't help but think about what kind of tragic battle had taken place.
Along the way, Chang Ling didn't know how many mortals or monks he had seen running away in a hurry, and he didn't know how many demon spirits had been nailed to death by the long sword in his hand.
At the last moment of their death, the demon spirits would briefly return to their original appearance and expression because of the demonic qi peeling off their bodies, staring at Chang Ling with wide eyes one by one.
She could only turn her head away and not meet such a gaze.
Knowing that these people have been transformed into demon spirits, their bodies and souls have been impregnated and corroded, and they can no longer be 'alive'.
But Chang Ling still couldn't help but wash his hands over and over again after the battle.
Due to the continuous 'falling' of the demon spirit, the concentration of demonic qi in the entire Yanzhou also gradually increased, and at first there was nothing unusual, until the fluctuation behind him came that day.
A transparent 'wall' was erected between heaven and earth, blocking between Yanzhou and Yuanzhou.
