I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 213 The "Sting Tail" Demon Lord of the Upper Realm

"call out--"

A series of cold cloud runes cut through the sky and attacked the Green Bull Demon Lord.

He Xiangu stood aside, her eyes as cold as frost and her expression stern.

Her dark eyes were as deep as the night, with countless tiny runes rippling and rising in them, mysterious and unfathomable.

In an instant, her "Soul-Confusing Spell" erupted, and from nowhere, an irresistible curse force suddenly descended.

The body of the Green Bull Demon Lord shook violently, and his skin began to change.

Dense patches of flesh buds grew on his face and body, and his flesh and blood were wriggling violently, as if strange tentacles were about to break out of his body.

His huge body lost control in mid-air, his breath suddenly weakened, and the powerful demonic energy also stagnated at this moment.

There was a flash of confusion in the eyes of the Green Bull Demon Lord, his eyes widened, and his body almost fell.

But he was a strong man of the sixth realm after all, and he immediately realized that he was cursed. The demonic energy erupted again like a volcano. He forcibly suppressed the changes in his body and gritted his teeth to resist the sudden power of the curse. Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead.

"The opportunity has come!"

A cold light flashed in Li Qingyun's eyes. He seized the moment when Qingniu Demon was distracted and filled his fists with tremendous power, which turned into a ball of golden light and blasted out suddenly, hitting his lower abdomen.

"boom!"

The punch was as powerful as thunder, hitting the Green Bull Demon King hard.

At that moment, his huge body was knocked away, and he spit out a mouthful of blood into the sky. He fell heavily to the ground with a huge roar, the ground shook, and smoke and dust rose up.

A huge pit appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There was dead silence all around.

"you dare!"

The Green Bull Demon Lord struggled to stand up, his face ferocious and his eyes filled with madness and unwillingness.

Demonic energy surged throughout his body, and his life force burned like a madman. He rushed towards Li Qingyun furiously, raised his fist and hit him in the face, wanting to fight to the death.

However, he was no longer able to do so at this moment, and his originally devastating punch suddenly became weak and powerless.

Li Qingyun snorted coldly, slightly turned sideways, and easily avoided the punch.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Green Bull Demon Lord's power was exhausted, he grabbed the opponent's wrist and quickly raised his other hand.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap landed harshly on the face of the Green Bull Demon Lord, and the sound echoed in the wilderness.

The enormous force sent the bull demon flying, smashing several giant trees, and it fell to the ground in a mess.

Before he could catch his breath, Li Qingyun appeared in front of him like lightning, and grabbed his collar with his fingers as hard as iron pliers.

"Tear--"

The indestructible golden armor was like a fragile cloth in Li Qingyun's hands and was torn apart easily, revealing the bloody chest of the Green Bull Demon.

His skin had completely rotted away, his bones were exposed, and his weakly beating heart was clearly visible.

The area around the wound was covered with strange green poisonous patterns, emitting a disgusting stench, and it was obvious that the poisoning was severe.

Li Qingyun looked down at the Green Ox Demon Lord, his eyes as cold as a knife, and whispered:

"You are poisoned, yet you still want to show off your power here?"

……

Long before the fight, Li Qingyun had already detected the abnormality of the Green Bull Demon Lord through his divination and the art of flaming eyes and golden pupils.

The opponent's injuries were even more serious than He Xiangu's, and he was just holding on for a breath.

No wonder he took the initiative. It turned out that he wanted to establish his authority and make He Xiangu retreat.

The Green Bull Demon Lord was lying on the ground, barely breathing, staring at Li Qingyun, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment:
"Of course I'm poisoned! Otherwise...how could I lose to a junior like you!"

Li Qingyun looked down at him and sneered.

"You are injured like this, and you still want to guard the spiritual world rift? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

It all happened so fast that not only were the surrounding monsters stunned, but even He Xiangu had just reacted.

Her eyes were cold and her tone was anxious:

"You were poisoned? This couldn't have been done by my brother. Where is Han Xiangzi? What on earth happened here?"

The Green Bull Demon Lord is a peerless powerful being ranked 21st on the Tiangang List. As a demon, with his tough and strong body and the sixth level of cultivation, there is almost no poison in the human world that can invade his body.

Now seeing him in such pain and misery, He Xiangu had a bad feeling in her heart.

There must be something wrong with the rift in the spiritual world, and Han Xiangzi's failure to show up made her even more worried.

The Green Bull Demon Lord was injured again, the demonic energy in his body was disordered, and the evil poison in his body seemed to be spreading wildly.

His muscular body twitched from time to time and he was in so much pain that he could hardly control himself.

Emerald green venom mixed with saliva kept dripping from the corners of his grinning mouth, hanging on his pale chin like sticky silk threads.

"Why did you have to come here!?"

He roared suddenly, his voice hoarse, filled with uncontrollable anger and despair.

"Can't you just stay still? What's the point of telling you the truth now that it has come to this? One of you is seriously injured, and the other is only at the fifth level. What can you do even if you know?"

He Xiangu was so angry that she was shaking all over, her teeth were clenched, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"You can't hold on here anymore, why are you still trying to hold on? If that's the case, why don't you send someone to the East China Sea to ask for help from Emperor Donghua?"

The Green Bull Demon Lord breathed heavily, his eyes were red, and he slowly closed his eyes.

His chest rose and fell violently, and his demonic aura could no longer be maintained.

Finally, he murmured:

"It's useless... This place has long been blocked by the 'Eight Gates of Jealousy'... No matter who wants to enter or leave this place, they will be discovered by that master.

"My life has long been in his hands. If I make the slightest move, that man will take my life immediately!"

There was fear and despair in his voice:
"I have already reached an agreement with that lord... As long as I help him keep the secret of this place, he will let me go. Three months later, I can still join him and cultivate the supreme magic... But you!

“Why did you come?
“Why do you have to intervene?
“Now he has discovered you!
"Once he makes a move, all of us will die! You two stupid humans are not worth mentioning at all, but I... I have practiced till now and finally got to where I am today. I don't want to die--!"

The voice of the Green Bull Demon Lord was filled with despair and misery. The last sentence was almost a scream squeezed out from the depths of his throat. His voice was hoarse and echoed in the dense forest, shocking all the surrounding demons with fear.

However, just as he finished his words, something strange happened -

"Crack——!"

A creepy explosion sounded suddenly.

The scarred chest of the Green Bull Demon Lord seemed unable to bear the pressure of the evil poison in his body any longer, and suddenly exploded like a ripe fruit.

Blood, pus and broken internal organs splattered everywhere in an instant, colorful liquids drew strange arcs in the air, and a strong fishy smell quickly spread.

Li Qingyun was quick-witted and quick-handed, and in a flash he performed the "Draw a Prison on the Ground" move.

An invisible wall of air rose from the ground, sealing off the area several feet around the Green Bull Demon Lord tightly.

The blood and tissue, as thick as poison, were blocked by the barrier and splashed on the air wall, making a harsh "sizzling" sound.

Even so, a few drops of blood carrying evil poison splashed out before the barrier was formed, landing on several fourth-level demon kings who were relatively close. Those demon kings were caught off guard and screamed like ghosts and wolves.

The blood of the Green Ox Demon Lord had long been tainted with a deadly poison, enough to corrode the body of a sixth-level demon. For these demon kings, it was a deadly nightmare.

The moment their skin came into contact with the blood, the flesh and blood began to rot rapidly and turned into pus in the blink of an eye.

The poison spread rapidly along the meridians. Within a few breaths, the bodies of these demon kings rotted away, turned into a pool of blood, and died on the spot.

Witnessing this scene, even though the surrounding demons were used to seeing blood, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end and tremble all over.

At this moment, a black mist as thin as a little finger suddenly burst out from the messy chest of the Green Bull Demon Lord, circling in the air and making a sharp and piercing hoarse laugh.

"Hehehe... Great... Another cultivator from the sixth realm is here for me to enjoy!"

A cold voice echoed in the air, and the black fog suddenly rushed towards the sky at a speed as fast as a black lightning, trying to escape from the battlefield.

A cold light flashed in He Xiangu's eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, and she drew a line in the air with her slender fingers.

Several golden runes rose into the air and gathered into a radiant barrier, blocking the entire world.

"Flying is prohibited here!"

A cold voice sounded, and the black mist was forcibly suppressed by the power of the runes, falling heavily from mid-air.

It twisted wildly on the ground, making a hissing sound, as if a drop of water fell into a boiling oil pan. It struggled violently but could not break through He Xiangu's restriction.

He Xiangu flipped her hand, and the powerful spell force pressed down like a mountain, forming a real pressure that locked the black fog tightly and made it unable to move.

She stared coldly at the black fog, her voice as chilling as ice:

"Who are you? Where is Han Xiangzi?"

Under the suppression of the cursed power, the black fog still let out a sickening low laugh:

"Hehe... I am the 'Sting Tail' demon lord from the upper realm. What you have captured is just a wisp of divine consciousness."

His voice was full of sarcasm and contempt, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

"As for the guy playing the flute... he's still alive, but he's trapped in my 'Eight Gates of Jealousy'.

"Hahaha... I'll give you a chance to save him, but you'd better hurry up, otherwise by the time you get there, I'm afraid there will be only a corpse left."

He Xiangu's face was as gloomy as water, and a trace of anxiety flashed across her eyes. She was eager to save her brother, and said without hesitation:

"Okay, tell me the location of the formation, and I'll go there right away."

The tone was decisive and firm, without any hesitation.

However, the moment she finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Li Qingyun, and a complex look flashed in her eyes, revealing a deep meaning.

Li Qingyun immediately understood her intention.

He Xiangu obviously intended to get involved in the game herself and take the risk alone, so he had to go to the East China Sea to ask for reinforcements and ask Wang Xuanfu and others to come to help.

She would rather take a huge risk than implicate others.

Li Qingyun saw all these good intentions.

However, he also knew that this "Thorny Tail Demon Lord" was good at using poison, and even strong men like Han Xiangzi and Green Ox Demon Lord were tricked by him.

He Xiangu's trip would be tantamount to putting herself in danger.

She was still seriously injured and any rash action would be like dancing on the edge of a knife. If she fell into a trap, she would find it difficult to escape and might even lose her life.

Just as Li Qingyun was about to speak up to object, the voice in the black fog sounded again, with a cold mockery:
"Don't agree so quickly. Do you think you can use the delaying tactic to get help?

“I might as well tell you that I have already set up a formation within a radius of fifty miles here.

"If anyone dares to leave, I will immediately kill that underworld cultivator who loves to play the flute."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Xiangu's brows were tightly knitted together, her heart was filled with turbulence.

The immortals of Penglai are of the same blood.

Han Xiangzi has been sworn brothers with her for many years. If she doesn't save him, how can she be worthy of the brother-sister relationship?

However, she was not alone, she was accompanied by Li Qingyun, the younger generation who had saved her life.

If I take him on an adventure, and we both get into desperate situations, won't he become a fish on the chopping board?

But if she abandoned Han Xiangzi and ran away with Li Qingyun, she would not be able to face her promise and would go against the ethics of immortals.

This is a painful choice: on one side is the elder brother who has been with you for many years, and on the other side is the young junior who has done you a favor.

He Xiangu fell into extreme entanglement and contradiction, thinking rapidly in her mind, but for a moment she could not think of a solution that would satisfy both parties, so she could only remain silent.

Just when she was in a state of confusion, Li Qingyun suddenly spoke:
"Okay, we've saved this guy. Tell us his location."

He Xiangu was shocked and quickly turned to look at Li Qingyun, only to see that he looked calm and did not seem to have made a hasty decision at all. Instead, he was confident.

"you……"

She couldn't help but want to dissuade him, but when the words came to her lips, she was stopped by Li Qingyun's calm and fearless gaze.

He had a determined look in his eyes and was calm, as if he had already made plans.

The voice in the black fog seemed surprised as well, and uttered a low laugh:
"You're quite a guts, little guy. Tomorrow at noon, I'll be waiting for you at the Golden Light Cave on Luoyun Peak!
"If I don't see you guys at 15:30, I'll suck the blood and flesh of the sacrifice dry and have it as lunch. Haha... Humans taste really good, much better than that stinky cow!"

A sinister and wild laugh echoed, and with the last warning, the black mist exploded in the air with a "pop" and turned into countless tiny shreds of tobacco, which quickly dissipated as if they had never existed.

……

As the black fog dissipated, the anxiety in He Xiangu's eyes became more intense. She suddenly leaned over and grabbed the Green Ox Demon Lord's throat, her voice as cold as a knife:

"In the end what happened?"

The chest of the Green Ox Demon was a bloody mess, and his internal organs were shattered, but he was still alive thanks to the tenacious vitality of the demon clan.

He glanced at He Xiangu coldly, gritted his teeth, and spoke in a weak but mocking voice:

"You've seen it all, why are you asking?"

He took a breath and continued:

“This spiritual world rift is constantly expanding. The evil spirits that escaped at first were relatively weak, so we were able to deal with them. But later, more and more powerful ones emerged.

"Three days ago, a scorpion demon who called himself the 'Sting Tail' demon lord emerged from the rift.

"In terms of cultivation, he is not as good as me, but he has a powerful ability to spray poison. I was careless for a moment and fell into his trap."

At this point, his voice was low and mixed with humiliation:

"In order to save my life, I agreed to cooperate with him. I used his venom to assassinate Han Xiangzi and offered him as a sacrifice to the Thorntail Demon Lord.

"In exchange, he spared my life and promised that after he absorbed Han Xiangzi, he would teach me the secret method of the upper realm and help me reach the realm of demigod."

He Xiangu's face turned ashen, anger burning in her chest. She wished she could tear the Green Bull Demon into pieces immediately.

But she slowly loosened her grip because she realized that the situation was more difficult than she had expected.

The Green Bull Demon Venerable panted and continued:

"So I sealed off this place, pretending nothing had happened, and waited for the right time. But you insisted on interfering... Now, not only me, but you can't leave either."
