Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 129 Demon Saint
The old man from the White Deer Academy looked at the Peacock Demon and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You human cultivators have been entering Yunmengze to hunt us for many years. Since you want to kill us so much, how about we have a fair fight?" The Peacock Demon swept his evil eyes across the crowd.

"Peacock, you made such a big fuss just for this?" The old man in the academy was a little skeptical.

The demon riots have not occurred for many years. If the other party launches such a large-scale riot, it may cause a strong backlash. Human practitioners may also form a large army and rush into Yunmengze.

The other party does this just for 'fun'?
"Why not?" Peacock looked around the crowd and said, "It's a good opportunity to come out and get some fresh air. Besides, I also want to see how strong you human practitioners are and verify each other's strength."

This time, they launched such a large-scale demon riot and fought their way out of Yunmengze, certainly not for 'fun'.

This time he came on orders.

The 'Demon Saint' claimed that he had discovered some secrets. A human cultivator had entered Yunmengze, and there was something special about this human cultivator.

The Demon Saint ordered him to find the human practitioner.

The Yunmeng Lake is vast and endless, and there are hundreds of millions of human beings in Yunmeng City. With such a huge number, trying to find a person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was difficult for him to complete the orders of the Demon Saint.

Then, there is only one way, to "lure" the other party out.

Such a special cultivator must be very talented. If he enters Yunmengze, his cultivation should be above the Spirit Refining Realm. For a cultivator in the Spirit Refining Realm, entering Yunmengze is basically committing suicide.

There is another point that the Demon Saint only recently sensed.

Therefore, this human cultivator should have recently arrived in Yunmeng City and came to Yunmeng Lake for trial. He is probably at the third or fourth level of cultivation. Of course, he may also be at the fifth level.

However, the number of practitioners in the fifth realm is much smaller, so they are easier to find. The most troublesome are the third and fourth realms. If the other party does not take the initiative to come out, it will be difficult to find them.

"Why, you human practitioners have to hunt all day long, but now you don't dare to do it?" The Peacock Demon King asked excitedly.

"How do you want to verify it?" Someone in the crowd asked loudly. He was a great practitioner in Yunmeng City.

"You humans like killing demons, which is great, and neither do we. So, let's kill them here to our heart's content. We'll draw a line on the ground and fight to the death one on one. Neither you nor I are allowed to interfere." The Peacock Demon King stared in the direction opposite, as if the other party was a genius in the human cultivation world.

So, seeing human practitioners die in battle should lead to his appearance, right?

If you can't find the person using this method, then you have to think of other ways.

He must complete this mission.

"Fight them." Many people spoke loudly and looked at the elder of Bailu Academy, but the old man was a little hesitant.

After all, this was not a battle for him alone, but one that concerned the lives of the practitioners who were fighting.

Judging from what the other party said, it is obvious that the battle will not be over in just one or two rounds.

Then, naturally, many people will die in this battle.

As a representative of his Bailu Academy, disciples will also go to fight and die on the battlefield.

"You have been acting so recklessly in Yunmengze, our territory of the demon world, all day long. Now that we have come out, you are still hesitating. If you don't dare, don't ever set foot in Yunmengze again." The Peacock Demon shouted angrily, his voice was so cold that it shook people's eardrums.

His words aroused the anger of the human practitioners. Although he knew it was just a provocation, it was still effective.

The word "war" has been heard many times among the crowd, and many monks are eager to try.

"How many battles?" asked the elder from Bailu Academy.

“Until one side can’t bear it anymore and admits defeat, both you and I can take the initiative to fight, but the challengers must have the same cultivation level, three realms against three realms, four realms against four realms. The winner can stay on the battlefield forever.” The Peacock Demon continued.

Until one side admits defeat?
The old man from Bailu Academy had a solemn expression. This time the demons had sent out a large army, and the number of human practitioners was also extremely large. How many people would die if they tried to kill one side until they could no longer bear it and gave in?
"In this way, the bet is not about who is strong or weak, but who can endure more?" The old man said in a cold voice. If the demon world refuses to admit defeat and keeps killing, then they will need to keep fighting.

Until one side can't bear it anymore.

“If you humans don’t dare, then you will never set foot in Yunmengze again. Otherwise, I will immediately launch a large army to attack Yunmeng City.” The Peacock Demon King threatened coldly, his sharp eyes sweeping over.

"Sir, how can a human cultivator be afraid of demons?" Someone looked towards the direction of Bailu Academy and bowed.

"If we kill these monsters and scare them to death, no one else will dare to attack us." People spoke one after another.

The old man from Bailu Academy still looked solemn. What he was gambling on was not his life, but the lives of many human practitioners.

But at this moment they were already in danger. Even if the other side launched a charge to attack the human Yunmeng City at this moment, there would still be heavy casualties. Therefore, he actually had no choice.

"In that case, I will help you." said the old man from Bailu Academy.

"Beat the drum." The Peacock Demon said loudly, and immediately several extremely burly bull-headed demons came out holding a huge war drum and placed it outside Yunmengze.

The bull-headed monster in the lead held a war hammer and suddenly smashed it on the war drum. An invisible wave vibrated out, which made the people on the opposite side feel their scalps tingling. A negative energy rushed towards them, like gusts of cold wind and the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The war drums became louder and louder, boom, boom, boom... Everyone's heart was beating, and some people with weaker cultivation even felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Demon drum." Many people stared at the war drum.

"You are wrong." The Peacock Demon glanced at it coldly and said, "This is not a demon drum, but a human drum. Hundreds of years ago, human cultivators invaded Yunmeng Lake and many human cultivators died there. We made this war drum out of human skin and flesh to commemorate that war. On this war drum are the wronged souls of you human cultivators."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of angry eyes swept towards the Peacock Demon with murderous intent.

Use human skin as drum.

This also made many people feel the cruelty of the war between the demon world and human practitioners.

I saw a bull-headed figure striding out, holding a war hammer, exuding an extremely domineering aura and a demonic aura. He was a demon from the fourth realm. He roared at the crowd and said loudly, "Who's coming?"

A gust of evil wind swept towards the human practitioners, and many people looked towards the direction of Bailu Academy.

This first battle was a battle of momentum and was very important, so no one walked out casually. Instead, they were prepared to leave the decision of victory or defeat in this war to Bailu Academy.

Sure enough, the human cultivator who emerged from the first battle was a cultivator from the Bailu Academy. The man had an extraordinary temperament, looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and carried a sword on his back.

"Tang Mo." Duan Feng beside Li Fan whispered, obviously recognizing this person.

This Tang Mo is a talented practitioner in the academy and a member of the Tang family in Yunmeng City. He has outstanding talent and very strong fighting ability.

"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this peacock demon?" Situ Kong whispered beside him.

"What's going on?" Duan Feng and Lin Yumo both looked at him. Situ Kong stared at that side and said, "Such a big battle is just for a fight to the death. What is his purpose? Is it just to intimidate or kill human cultivators?"

"Moreover, there hasn't been any major incident recently that would alarm the demon king deep in Yunmengze."

"Who can know what these monsters are thinking? Let's just take a look at this battle first. With Tang Mo's strength, it should be no problem for him to kill this bull monster. Although the bull monster is powerful, it also has obvious weaknesses and is clumsy. That's why Bailu Academy chose sword cultivators to fight." Duan Feng said, and the group looked towards the battlefield.

The sound of war drums continued, and there was a murderous atmosphere on the battlefield.

Before Tang Mo arrived, the sword had already flown there. The bull demon charged forward with a war hammer in his hand, knocking the sword away. He stomped the ground hard and ran forward, and the ground immediately shook, as if it was resonating with the sound of the war drum.

The crowd held their breath. The vast army of humans and demons suddenly became quiet. With only a murderous intent in their eyes, they stared at the man and the demon in the middle of the battlefield.

Li Fan also looked towards the battlefield. The sword energy was everywhere. Tang Mo's fighting ability was indeed very strong. His swordsmanship was outstanding and his sword was fast and fierce. However, the bull monster was big in size but very flexible and powerful. When the war hammer attacked, Tang Mo, as a sword cultivator, had to retreat a little.

The battle between the two became more and more violent. A yellowish-brown storm swept out, and Tang Mo's sword seed also bloomed. The sword energy surrounded the body of the bull monster, as if to tear that piece of space into pieces.

"Boom..." A loud explosion was heard, and the bull demon raised his war hammer and smashed the sword that was coming towards him from the sky. Almost at the same moment, Tang Mo's sword in front of him pierced his body.

"it's over!"

The human practitioners were extremely excited when they saw this scene. Tang Mo was indeed a genius in the academy and his swordsmanship was extraordinary.

Some people even started shouting.

But the battlefield seemed a little weird. Tang Mo did not continue to strangle the opponent. After his sword pierced into the opponent's body, he suddenly felt an unusual breath.

The next moment, Tang Mo's expression changed suddenly. He saw that the bull monster's body turned golden. Tang Mo's expression changed suddenly. He dropped his sword and wanted to retreat. The bull monster glanced at him with cold eyes and swept out with his war hammer.

"boom……"

A loud bang was heard and many people closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch.

Tang Mo's head was smashed directly, and his body fell to the ground, motionless.

The bull demon lowered his head and pulled the sword out of his body bit by bit, letting out a loud roar, but his body was also dripping with blood, and he was obviously injured.

"Golden blood." Situ Kong stared at the golden blood flowing in the Bull Demon's body. No wonder the Peacock Demon King asked the other party to fight.

"This bull monster should be a noble monster from the deepest part of Yunmengze, with golden blood flowing in its body. Tang Mo was careless." He said with some regret that a genius human cultivator had died in battle.

In sharp contrast to the excited roars of the demons, the human side was silent and depressed. People from the academy and the Tang family went to the battlefield at the same time, but only brought back a cold corpse.

The Peacock Demon King glanced coldly at the crowd, hoping that he wouldn't have to wait too long.
