Chapter 248: Killing and Destroying the Heart

The demonic energy of the eighth and ninth ranks was useless to Song Wuji, but the seventh rank still had some effect.

As for the illusion within, needless to say, even the real entity couldn't defeat Song Wuji, let alone the illusion itself.

Now, in the illusion, unless it's a martial art, spell, or supernatural power that interests Song Wuji, he'll steal it by pretending to be a human; otherwise, he'll kill everyone else with a single strike.

Even if Song Wuji learned it, he might not know how to use it, but he could improve his own Fire Talisman Golden Elixir.

One characteristic of talismans and golden elixirs is that the more supernatural powers they possess, the stronger their foundation.

As for the others, they are transformed into martial arts manuals and magic manuals, which can be passed on to those below.

The royal zombies possess a martial art called the "Dragon Scale Body," which is cultivated by harnessing the energy of dragon veins and can forge their physical bodies into something as sturdy as a magical artifact.

That princess possessed a supernatural power called "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers." When used properly, it was a blessing power; when used improperly, it could spread plagues.

That black-coiled python spirit possessed a supernatural power called [Black Fiend Silk], which was both a supernatural power and a magical artifact.

However, this primordial demonic energy has very limited effect on the current growth of Song Wuji's three treasures. It can only nourish the Hunyuan Golden Pill, since Song Wuji's three treasures are already extremely high and have been combined into one.

As for corpse pills and demon pills, they're just candy after eating them. We can give them some to try using in alchemy or to make magic weapons.

"Lord of the Realm, the demons have left the city on their own initiative."

The elder of the Beggars' Sect brought news: "The demon lord is at Old Dragon Mountain, where there is a fortified village with seven or eight thousand soldiers."

Song Wuji lamented, "So many demons, they don't engage in agricultural production, I wonder how many people they've eaten."

As they faced off, Song Wuji asked Lü Han, "Are there any stories or legends about Laolong Mountain?"

"Old Dragon Mountain, named after Old Dragon, is also related to Master Xu. It is said that Old Dragon was the father of the evil dragon who caused trouble back then. He was originally a river official, but he spoiled his son with evil deeds."

"When Master Xu killed more than three hundred dragons, many evil dragons came to the old dragon and asked him to intercede on their behalf."

"As a result, Master Xu even killed the old dragon."

"Old Dragon Mountain is where the old dragon's head fell."

"Some people have heard the old dragon groaning in the mountains."

"In the Old Dragon Mountain, there is an Old Dragon Pool, which is said to be the location of the Old Dragon Palace."

"However, it's now occupied by this Black Phoenix. Even if there's a Dragon-attribute secret realm, it's likely to be taken over as well."

Song Wuji exclaimed, "Why are there so many legends about dragons and snakes?"

"In the Jiangnan region, which is a water town, there is much rain and floods. There are thousands of rivers and lakes, ponds everywhere, and mountains that resemble dragons and snakes lying in wait. It is normal to have many such legends."

"Back then, Master Xu slew more than three hundred dragons. What were called dragons were actually demons that occupied the waterways, whether they were snake spirits, viper spirits, or fish demons. They swam in the water and were huge, so the people called them dragons."

"Now that the Three Realms and Six Paths are in disorder and demons are rampant, it is normal for these dragon sons and grandsons to emerge. Phoenixes are rare, and there are many legends about them in the Central Plains. Jiangnan is not the place where phoenixes land."

Song Wuji said, "We already have dragon meat, and a mirage dragon is still a dragon."

"As the saying goes, dragon liver and phoenix gall, this black-feathered monster bird, although it is full of disasters, after plucking its feathers and removing its internal organs, it should be a top-notch ingredient. I am a sixth-rank official in charge of the imperial kitchen, and I am worried about not having any ingredients when I go to entertain the gods."

Lü Han didn't know how to respond.

"Get those folk artists from the Beggars' Sect who play the erhu, Lin Pandi, recruit some flower fairies and banana spirits, and Lu Han, you bring a few scholars who understand music. When I fight that demon phoenix later, they can help me with the five musical scales."

"Chen Xiu, when I fight that demonic phoenix, you will need to face those seventh-rank demons. The three White Bone True Immortals will assist you, but don't be reckless. Focus on steady and cautious tactics, and don't act rashly." "Alright!"

……

"Howl!"

The cries of birds were from a giant eagle, and on its back sat a demon. This demon, whose nature was unknown, hurled extremely offensive insults: "You short-lived human cultivators, you two-legged sheep destined to be meat! Now our Great King has shown great mercy and will forgive your offense if you contribute ten pairs of boys and girls every month."

"Otherwise, in my city, there are still seventy or eighty thousand sacrificial animals for food. If you are not convinced and dare to use force, for every one you kill, we will slaughter ten."

"You shortsighted people, you don't know what kind of treasure our city has. In that blood pool, we spirits are constantly being generated, and it is made from the flesh and blood of you two-legged sheep!"

These words immediately caused an uproar. Lü Han was shocked: "That demon has actually raised seventy or eighty thousand people! What should we do?"

Song Wuji said, "There's no other way but to fight and kill!"

"If we back down and compromise, we still won't be able to save those people."

"If we charge forward with all our might, we might still be able to save most of the situation!"

"The tiger demon did the same thing before, wanting to become a demon magistrate and raising human sacrifices. Such a vicious scheme destroyed the foundation of our human realm!"

"Chen Xiu! Get the bow and shoot that demon down!"

Chen Xiu immediately made his move, drawing his bow to its fullest extent, gazing northwest, aiming at the Heavenly Wolf!

The giant eagle had no chance to dodge and was shot down. The demon on the eagle fell off, but it spread its fleshy wings and glided away; it was a flying squirrel.

Chen Xiu then fired a second arrow, killing the flying squirrel demon.

Song Wuji leaped up into the clouds, used his supernatural powers, and transformed into the Vermilion Bird of the Heavenly Fire Virtue.

But then, from within the demon army, the demon phoenix shouted, "Bring the human sacrifices!"

Suddenly, demons imprisoned several old men and women, who were trembling with fear.

"You human cultivator! You killed my vanguard, and I will kill several of your kin. All these consequences will fall on you. I will not only kill your body, but also destroy your spirit!"

"cut!"

Instantly, those elderly men and women were brutally murdered and beheaded by the demon soldiers, their blood gushing like a spring!
"court death!"

Song Wuji was completely enraged: "Fight me to the death!"

Seeing Song Wuji's anger, the black phoenix immediately used its supernatural powers to spread calamity energy, causing Song Wuji's mind to be clouded and foreshadowing his impending death.

Then, with a black veil of three calamities and eight disasters above his head, he held two evil swords in his hands, and five black feathers of the five turbidities and evil worlds at his tail, drawing out clusters of black light.

"I, the king, did not hesitate to sacrifice a few of my demons to use a secret technique to stimulate his destiny, making it the most perfect. At the most perfect moment, water overflows and then overflows. Using this calamity, I killed him in the calamity. Now that the demon has arrived, he will crush the human world and wreak havoc on the three realms. What will you use to fight me!"

Black Phoenix sneered inwardly: "All demons, heed my command! Surround and slaughter the human sacrifices until they dare not resist!"

"Once I achieve a resounding victory and breach the city's walls, I will grant you three days of slaughter!"

"Kill!" Song Wuji, transformed into the Vermilion Bird, burned his true fire to the maximum, maximizing the power of the Samadhi Fire Talisman Golden Pill. His entire body was enveloped in the ultimate Southern Bright Fire, Samadhi True Fire, and Bingding Divine Fire, these three divine flames, as he charged towards the Black Phoenix.
