One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 314: Burning the Midnight Sky
The Red Snake has two names. One name is its original name, Chi Lian. The demons in the darkness who know her call her Chi Lian or the Red Lian King.

But she also has another name, Lian Hongchen.

That was the name given to her by a Taoist priest when she was very young. The Taoist priest had lived for a long time at the edge where the polar night meets the red flame. At that time, she was just a small snake that had just begun to learn to eat air and understand some human nature. She was attracted by the breath of the Taoist priest and followed him from then on.

When the Taoist priest had some time off from practicing, he liked to preach to her. Because of this, the time it took her to gradually gain spiritual wisdom from the beginning of her understanding of human nature was greatly shortened.

At this moment, she felt that she might be dying. The shadow of the Taoist priest deep in her heart made her come in this direction, because there was also a Taoist priest living here.

Her heart was filled with darkness, and she had lost her sight without knowing when. She knew that it was the poison of the poisonous frog. Because of her spellcasting, the poison had no mana to suppress it and had entered her bloodstream and attacked her head.

She didn't know when the sound of frogs appeared in her ears. The sound was looming and surrounded her, adding a bit of panic to her already anxious mood.

This panic comes from the instinctive fear deep in one's heart that one's own life will be extinguished.

Her eyes had been invaded by the poison and were beginning to become blurry. She could not see clearly, and the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Wall that had been clear in her mind became confused and distant.

The poison frog's curse was disturbing, disrupting the clarity she had worked so hard to maintain.

What she didn't know was that behind her, a huge frog shadow emerged in the darkness, and her body was struggling forward under the frog's mouth, ready to be swallowed at any time.

The sudden wave of darkness startled everyone in the camp under the Demon-Suppressing Wall. They all came out of the stone houses in the camp. Even though they were under the Demon-Suppressing Wall, they felt the vibration.

They have practiced various eye techniques and can see the dark fog rolling in from the darkness, and can also feel the demonic energy rising into the sky.

I was so frightened for a moment that it was difficult for me to even call out. I opened my mouth, but couldn't even call out.

At this moment, the Demon-Suppressing Wall emitted golden light. Although the golden light was not very strong, it seemed to have formed a mysterious restriction. The light formed by the restriction enveloped an area of more than sixty miles.

Everyone in the camp felt relieved instantly. Some monks who were originally collecting herbs in Laohei were also driven out by the black tide. They ran frantically towards the Demon-Suppressing Wall.

"The black tide is coming."

"The black tide is coming, the black tide is coming."

Some were running, some were shouting.

The black tide refers to the one caused by demons in the polar night. They act in unison to attack the strongholds of human monks. If they cannot resist, they will be submerged.

These black currents often flood a large area nearby like a tsunami, and then slowly recede.

Many people who failed to escape died in the process. Their targets were mainly some strongholds, or spiritual sects established nearby.

Some people flew away using flying tools, but were entangled by the monsters in the black tide behind them.

These people who were being chased by the black tide were feeling desperate. At this moment, they saw a sudden burst of light from the Demon-Suppressing Wall that should be relatively far ahead. The black tide that was about to drown them in the light suddenly slowed down, like ice and snow melting.

The red-banded snake demon could no longer see the way forward. She felt that there were countless frogs croaking all around her, and her consciousness was slowly dissipating amid the frog croaking.

"It seems that today is the day I die, my child..."

At this moment, a ray of light seemed to appear in her eyes. The light was golden, which made the world bright in her misty eyes, making her feel warm and giving her direction.

Her heart was filled with ecstasy and hope for life surged again.

The golden light seemed to shine from the distant sky, dispelling the black fog surrounding her.

The croaking of frogs that surrounded her faded away in an instant, as if the light in her ears had dispelled the illusion.

"Hahaha, you human actually dared to provoke me. Today I will destroy your cave, peel off your skin, and hang you with your intestines."

In the darkness, a huge toad shadow appeared. It seemed like a troll on earth, with a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring at the Demon-Suppressing Wall.

“My fellow men, follow me to flatten Duanlong Mountain, cut down the mountain and destroy the mansion. You can take the souls, essence, blood, bones and flesh.” The deep and domineering voice of King Huju resounded in the darkness, and the entire darkness was stirred up by a bigger black tide.

Countless little monsters in the black tide let out strange cries and cheers.

All the people near the Demon-Suppressing Wall gathered towards it, trembling with fear. Even though they often went in and out of the polar night to collect herbs and practice cultivation, many people had only heard of this situation but had never seen it. After all, all those who had seen it were dead.

Some people seemed to have lost their minds in an instant when they heard the monster's shouting, and stood there in a daze. Some even ran towards the black tide, or fell directly to the ground.

At this moment, another level of light appeared from the clouds on the mountain wall. The light rushed up, and golden lines shone out from the light, like the rising sun at dawn.

Billions of rays of light shone instantly, brilliant and dazzling. This light seemed to have some kind of mysterious magic. It not only dispelled the approaching black fog, but also made everyone feel at ease. Their frightened hearts immediately calmed down.

The various terrifying sounds made by those monsters turned into all kinds of strange and shrill cries at this moment, and the evil power in those sounds disappeared in the light.

This golden light seemed to be able to illuminate all evil and calm everyone's restless minds.

This golden light can destroy evil and suppress demons.

The Tiger King in the darkness narrowed his eyes but did not speak.

Instead, he puffed up his mouth.

A low frog croak sounded in the darkness.

When the frogs croak, there is a feeling of complete silence, as if all other sounds in the world except the frogs' croaking have disappeared and been suppressed.

In the darkness, there was a giant frog lying on the ground. His body kept swelling until it was as high as the Demon-Suppressing Wall. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and vomited.

A frog croaked, and a huge wind blew out, forming a wave of air, rolling towards the demon-suppressing force.

There was also his saliva in the air wave, which could defile treasures and break taboos.

The purpose of the air wave he exhaled was certainly not to blow down the mountain wall, but to kill people and break the ban.

The frogs' croaking became a spell, creating a gust of air that rushed towards the magic-suppressing wall like an invisible cannonball.

If his Qi wave spell hits a person, it can instantly blast the person to death. He once used this method to kill a ground dragon hiding deep in the underground cave, and also used this method to directly break into a cultivator's cave, leaving no one in the cave alive.

The rolling air waves came rushing in, and the croaking of frogs in the air waves rolled like thunder.

Everyone was terrified. Ge Wenyun stood there with her fists clenched. She was nervous.

Zhao Fuyun had disappeared at some point. He returned to the cave and sat in the deepest part. In front of him was a red flame magic lamp that shone as brightly as the sun.

At this moment, from the clouds above the Demon Suppression Wall, a ball of golden light leaped out of the void like the blazing sun. The sky and earth were bright.

At the same time, sound appeared along with the light.

"Edict!"

"Suppress, seal, fix, ban, disperse, and burn."

The combination of Dharma and mantra creates power.

Everyone felt the void condense, the air waves slowed down, and then suddenly dissipated. The saliva that came with the air waves condensed for a moment in the void, and instantly burned.

The darkness was suddenly dispelled, and the monsters inside were revealed. When they were illuminated by the golden light, their bodies immediately caught fire, and then they retreated desperately into the darkness behind them.

In the blink of an eye, flames were running all over the ground, and the light pierced through the darkness like a sharp arrow and fell on the body of King Hu Ju. King Hu Ju felt a burning sensation, and the flames instantly pierced through his protective light.

What you see in your eyes is not only light, but a divine bird.

The divine bird had golden eyes, a body of flames, and three legs.

The moment he looked at the three-legged divine bird, he felt a tremor in his soul, as if he saw his natural enemy. Then, the three-legged divine bird flashed and seemed to have fallen into his eyes.

His big eyes could no longer contain any other scenes, only two divine birds shining with golden light were flashing.

As the divine bird flashed, it seemed to have turned into two runes shining with golden light.

The Tiger King's body shrank rapidly.

Then his body seemed to be pierced by golden light and quickly split into tiny tiger frogs.

He wanted to get rid of this terrible fire that was sticking to his body.

However, as its body split, the flickering golden light was also imprinted on the tiger frog that split out.

King Hu Ju suddenly felt a little panicked. This flame was so terrifying. The light of the flame was like a needle. It pierced through his protective magic light and imprinted into his mind.

Of course, he also understood that this was the effect created by the cooperation between Zhao Fuyun's spell and the flames.

Just understanding is one thing, and not being able to resist is another.

His frog croaking was silenced, his energy waves were suppressed, and then dispersed by a force, and he was also burned by the golden flame at that moment. He was like a ball punctured by a needle. His original spirit dissipated in an instant, and he just wanted to leave here. He couldn't help but think, no wonder Chi Lian was willing to let him use the valley.

"Humans are indeed vicious."

The Huju King went towards his own Hujutan Pond, and the three-legged golden crow in the sky followed closely.

At this moment, the people in the camp under the Demon-Suppressing Wall were instigated by Fang Xiaoshan to chase out. They chased the burned monsters, and some were chasing King Huju, all the way to Huju Pond.

King Huju felt that he would be fine as long as he returned to the pool, because there was a cold spring under the pool, which would surely be able to extinguish the overbearing flames in his body.

He ran all the way back, and whenever he came across small rivers and lakes, he would drink large amounts of water from them. However, as soon as the water entered his stomach, it would be dried up. He fell into the lake, and the water began to boil.

If he was pushed into a corner, he would stick out his tongue to lick the Golden Crow divine bird in the sky. However, it was not known whether his eyes had been blinded by the flames or what, but every time he stuck out his tongue, there would always be a deviation.

Along the way, he had drunk five small rivers and three small lakes dry, and almost burned the entire road to white. On the originally dark land, the fire spread out after the tiger frog passed by.

King Huju was filled with fear and resignation, but he had only one thought in his mind, which was to return to his own Huju Pond. However, his steps became slower and slower, and he felt more and more thirsty, as if the water in his body was about to be burned dry.

He wanted to drink water, but there was no water nearby.

Finally, the Tiger King fell down, his body dried up and lay on a hillside, which was only ten miles away from the Tiger Pond.

However, his skin was not burned. A tiger frog as big as a hill was lying there, and from his eyes one could see that the flesh and blood inside had dried up.

The light on the Golden Crow divine bird in the sky suddenly converged and shrank rapidly, and the golden crow divine bird fell downwards like a divine bird returning to its nest. Unknowingly, a person appeared below.

The man held a lamp in his hand, and the light was dim.

The divine bird landed on the lamp, and the flame immediately became brighter.

But compared with the previous scene that was like the sun moving across the sky, it has been restrained a lot.

The darkness gathered around, and the light from the lamp only illuminated a small area around it.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the skin of the tiger frog lying on the ground below, and his heart moved. He thought that the frog skin looked very tough and might be a material for refining weapons, so he collected it.

He did not stay here for long, and turned around and left. On the way, he met some people who had caught up with him. When they saw Zhao Fuyun coming back, they asked if the big monster had been burned to death. After getting an affirmative answer, they all cheered.

Of course, when Zhao Fuyun returned, they all followed him back, but each of them gained a lot.

After returning to the Demon-Suppressing Wall, he showed Ge Wenyun the skin of the tiger-skin frog. She said that there were sky-colored runes on the frog skin, and it could be made into a cloak, a robe, a mysterious tent, a treasure bag, or could be refined into a magic weapon.

Zhao Fuyun didn't know what to refine for the moment, but the runes on it were worth studying.

The commotion caused by the Tiger King seemed very big in this area, but compared to the entire polar night sky, it was just a small corner and a small movement, and soon everything returned to calm.

The red snake came back to life. She was not poisoned to death. She did not come to see Zhao Fuyun, but quietly returned to Yunmeng Valley to heal her wounds.

Zhao Fuyun didn't care about these things and just let Ge Wenyun go back to the mountains to condense the mist again.
-
In the Ghost-Swallowing Castle, Wei Danfeng had been lurking on one side after hearing the noise, until he saw the Golden Crow divine bird as big as the sun jump out and almost burn him to death. He immediately retreated in shock. Then he heard that the Tiger King was burned to death, so he immediately went into seclusion.

During the retreat, he repeatedly stressed to his wife Bai Huirou: "This young man is strong and overbearing, and his flames are merciless. You must not light the lamp. Everything will be decided after I have formed the golden elixir."
-
While Zhao Fuyun was studying the sky-colored runes on the Tiger King's body, a team was heading towards the border of the polar night.

There were quite a lot of people in this team, and the leader was wearing bright yellow brocade clothes. He stood on the hillside, looking at the sky in front of him which was becoming increasingly darker. His mood was just like the sky at that moment.

"Your Highness, we are about to reach the border of the polar night. I heard that there are disciples from Tiandu Mountain practicing in this area. We have the Thunder Order obtained from Master Fenglei. If we see disciples from Tiandu Mountain, we can recruit them to follow us into the polar night to supplement our manpower."

The man in the Ming Emperor's robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, without saying a word, and the people next to him didn't speak either.

After a long while, he said, "Not all disciples of Tiandu Mountain are powerful. It's better not to have ordinary disciples of Tiandu Mountain. However, if you meet those who have received secret teachings, you can recruit them. But remember to negotiate with them in a friendly manner."

　Oh, just a weak request for votes.
