Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 304, 313 Master, save me! (5600 words)
"You brat, you dared to kill one of my generals! You deserve to die!"

Seeing Wuyan Guang explode into countless pieces, the two Tibetan monks turned ashen-faced, and Yue Liduo's eyes were bloodshot, as if her heart was bleeding.

The Qida tribe was not as full of talented people as they claimed.

Yelü Yi was indeed a man of great talent and ambition, and it is true that he unified the various tribes of the grasslands. However, in this process, those who obeyed prospered while those who resisted perished, forging a group of elites while also killing many talented individuals.

Wu Yan Guangnian is only forty years old, yet he is already on the verge of achieving communion, and may even touch the seed of a Grandmaster in the future.

Such young warriors number less than a palm's width in the entire Qida region. The remaining veterans, though experienced in combat, have far less potential.

I thought that with the three grandmasters coming to my door, I could easily capture them, and even possibly capture one of them, interrogate him to obtain the secret techniques of Louguan Taoism, and supplement Qida's foundation in preparation for the future founding of the country.

Who would have thought that this slight oversight would lead to the death of a promising and valiant general?

Filled with regret, Yue Liduo and the other two didn't care about holding back for a moment. They combined their strength and sent Qin Li flying back a hundred meters, leaving a trail of flowing clouds in the air.

"Your Highness, I will take care of this boy."

The Sakya master was the most level-headed. Wuyan Guang was already dead. Although not killing Li Cunxiao would not avenge the humiliation, killing him would actually jeopardize the purpose of this trip.

At worst, they can be arrested and tortured. If they can't be honored guests, they can be prisoners, as long as they can refine pills.

As he spoke, he manipulated the Dharma form, and with every move he made, the power of heaven and earth moved accordingly, imprisoning and absorbing Li Cunxiao.

"Bastard!"

Seeing the other party's unbridled behavior, Qin Li's expression grew increasingly cold and stern. The killing aura of Gengjin on his body intensified, and layers of sword energy rang out, gathering behind him to form a sky-piercing cloud-like structure, which was extremely terrifying.

No matter which grandmaster it is, in a life-or-death struggle, the other side, unless they are also a grandmaster, will never emerge unscathed.

Yue Liduo and Guru had refrained from killing him earlier precisely to avoid the current situation.

Louguandao is located in the heart of the Central Plains, thousands of miles away from Youyan in Hebei Province.

Killing this grandmaster brought no benefit other than empty fame. If Zhu Quanzhong hadn't killed Yan Daotong, Qida would have been framed and retaliated against.

The two hadn't completely lost their minds, and seeing this, they had no choice but to suppress their anger and join forces to stop Qin Li, who was determined to fight to the death.

"Shameless bald monk, a Grandmaster trying to capture a seventh-realm cultivator like me, damn it!"

Having killed over a hundred people and a mysterious figure with a single blow, Li Cunxiao was feeling incredibly refreshed as he rapidly charged his vajra when he turned around and saw the image of the Sakya master approaching. He immediately burst into a tirade of curses.

The image of Sakya Guru is called the Most Courageous Tara, which is a variant of Avalokiteshvara that evolved after Tantric Buddhism was introduced to Tibet.

This Tara is red like a flame, adorned with Vairocana Buddha on her head, with one face, two eyes, and eight arms. She sits in the vajra posture on a throne in the center of a red lotus in the sky.

Adorned with silk celestial robes and various jewels, with moonlight behind him. His first pair of hands holds a bell and a vajra, his second pair holds a bow and arrow, his third pair holds a dharma wheel in his right hand and a conch shell in his left; his fourth pair holds a sword in his right hand and a lasso in his left.

Just looking at this Tara statue, a terrifying aura emanated from it. Even the warhorses with demon blood trembled and fled in panic, tearing the formation of Wuyan Guang's remaining troops to shreds.

"go!"

Li Cunxiao would not engage in a direct confrontation with a Dharma Master. He knew that Qici was nearby and would arrive soon. Until then, as long as the other party did not want to harm him, there would be a chance to maneuver.

Of course, if all else fails, the only option is to reveal the existence of the dragon boat. However, the existence of spiritual treasures is too sensitive, and he will never use them unless absolutely necessary.

Li Cunxiao resorted to his old tricks, using the Azure Dragon Spirit to command the Four Symbols and Four Divine Beasts, leading his army to flee towards Xue Tianyun and Aliqi's battlefield.

With the power of the Dharma Body, every gesture can split mountains and cleave valleys. As long as one can infiltrate among the Qida barbarians like Aliqi, it will surely make them hesitate to act rashly.

However, while the idea was wonderful, reality failed at the very first step.

The most valiant Tara drew her bow and released a flaming arrow, which then split into hundreds and thousands of arrows, shattering the charging army formation in a single strike.

Li Cunxiao was the main target of the attack, and was directly covered by a net formed from arrows. Even the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) could only slow down the process.

Grass!
The situation was tense, and there wasn't even time to curse. Li Cunxiao knew that even if he had two spirit forms appearing at the same time when facing a Grandmaster, he would only die a more gruesome death. Immediately, the red dragon pattern on his forehead turned red and hot, and ripples appeared in the space.

"What is the master doing?"

A sinister claw suddenly appeared, instantly tearing the net of flames to shreds.

Ge Congzhou?!

Everyone present was taken aback when they saw the needle-eyed man who suddenly appeared.

Aren't you one of the King of Liang's men?

They've switched sides?
"What does Grand Tutor Ge mean? This boy killed one of my Qida generals. He must be brought back and handed over to the Great Khan for judgment."

Sakya Lama's expression was solemn. Although he had anticipated that the other party would interfere, he did not expect them to directly confront him.

At present, Qida and King Liang are still allies; to be precise, the former is seeking something from King Liang.

Without their support in the Central Plains, let alone establishing a nation, they wouldn't even be able to enter from beyond the Great Wall.

“Sakya Guru, please don’t misunderstand. I have no intention of making an enemy of the Liao Dynasty.”

Ge Congzhou suddenly became polite, even using the unannounced name of the country to show respect.

"However, Li Cunxiao also had a grudge against my king's second son, so I must take him back and hand him over to the Liang king for punishment."

"How can a son of a concubine command Grand Tutor Ge?"

These words came from the mouth of the Gelug master, who was laughing in anger. Yue Liduo, who was standing to the side, understood the other party's intention in a flash.

It was obvious that Ge Congzhou had also taken a liking to Li Cunxiao, this prodigy in alchemy.

Although it is unknown why Master Taiyi has not shown up since the start of the battle, it is clear that no one would complain about having more alchemists who can directly influence the training of martial artists.

Taking a step back, does the King of Liang really want another Liao Kingdom, teeming with talented people, to emerge in the north?
Yue Liduo originally intended to turn around and join forces with Sakya Lama to make a final decision.

Unfortunately, Qin Li's Shaohao Yinfu Scripture was too powerful in its killing intent, and he was already vomiting blood. But the more seriously injured he was, the more ruthlessly he killed.

Yue Liduo had no doubt that if only Master Gru was left to face the enemy, it would likely result in mutual destruction, which would be a huge loss.

Left with no other option, she could only send a telepathic message:
"Sakya Guru, you must ensure Li Cunxiao's safety. If Ge Congzhou fails, he may resort to killing him!"

Saga's eyes sharpened; he too had considered this possibility.

Currently, the Ming Cult is the main force under Liang Wang's command producing elixirs and magical artifacts. Although these are unorthodox methods and cannot be sustained, they are better than nothing.

Having Li Cunxiao would certainly be a great asset to them, but not having him wouldn't be a major blow.

After all, if Gao Pian were killed and the Qin Dynasty overthrown, given Zhu Quanzhong's invincible power at that time, there would surely be outstanding people who would come to join him.

But Qida cannot accept this outcome!
In the midst of his contemplation, the hideous demon mother's form quietly attacked Li Cunxiao, but was stopped in time by the vigilant Sakya.

The ghostly figure and the crimson flames collided, creating a clear boundary, while Li Cunxiao was trapped behind Ge Congzhou by a layer of blurry ghostly figures.

"If Grand Tutor Ge insists on this, it seems we have no choice but to put on a show."

"However, this humble monk is also curious. Grand Tutor Ge is known as the Doppelganger General. Are you, in the present moment, the original body or a doppelganger?"

Ge Congzhou's expression changed slightly, while Li Cunxiao, who noticed this scene, did not hesitate. His dragon essence boiled, and his Buddhist spiritual image shone brightly.

Inside the Dragon Flower Hall, the Heavenly King Guangmu, holding a Xuanchi spear, with the Azure Dragon spirit clinging to it, the elements of fire and wood intertwined and surged, as the tall and majestic Heavenly King strode out.

Raise your hand, step forward—the movements are identical to Li Cunxiao's own—then gather your strength and advance—

prick!
boom! ! ! !

A fierce gust of wind, like a tornado, instantly blasted a gap in the chaotic ghostly figures. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cunxiao patted the head of the nine-headed green lion, and his entire body transformed into a stream of green light, rushing wildly towards the outside of the mountain gate.

"what?!"

Ge Congzhou and Sakya Lama both changed their expressions at the same time, not even having time to think about why the other had two spiritual manifestations.

Then, the four divine weapons—the Wind and Fire Wheels, the Azure Phoenix Armor, the Chaos Ribbon, and the Mysterious Dragon Spear—shone brightly, instantly boosting Li Cunxiao's speed to a terrifying level.

If we don't chase after them now, they'll be gone without a trace!
Ge Congzhou, being the closest and reacting the fastest, transformed into a ghostly figure and rapidly approached Li Cunxiao.

"Compared to revealing spiritual treasures, practicing both Buddhism and Taoism is not a big secret."

"But this trump card is still not enough against a grandmaster!"

Li Cunxiao felt the approaching chilling aura behind him and secretly groaned.

Even a giant like Wen Zhongzi only mastered the Daoist arts after he had reached the Grandmaster level and was able to control the power of heaven and earth.

He is currently considered a top-tier master of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but he has only just begun to master the "True Scripture of the Three Altars and the Sea Assembly." He can only achieve one plus one equals two, and cannot yet achieve one plus one greater than two.

Could three seventh-realm spiritual forms possibly fuse to form a Dharma form?
"Li Cunxiao, a wise man knows when to yield! The court is on the verge of collapse, Yan Daotong's fate is uncertain, and you have killed General Qida. Your only chance of survival is to submit to the King of Liang."

Ge Congzhou looked at the meteor formed by the interwoven light of the four divine weapons and realized that he couldn't catch up with it for a while. Helpless, he had no choice but to gently persuade Ge Congzhou to surrender.

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao increased his speed even further, and his words were equally unceremonious:
"Submit to the King of Liang? You and the Zhu Youzhen brothers are all cuckolded bastards who sold their wives for personal gain, but I am not!"

"How dare you insult me, you brat!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ge Congzhou flew into a rage. He took a step forward, and the earth trembled beneath his feet. Ghostly shadows and malevolent energy spread like a tide, turning the earth, rocks, grass, and trees in his wake into dust.

Even if this clone only has one-tenth of the power of the original body, and cannot even use the full power of the Dharma Form, it doesn't mean that a mere child can ride on its head!
"Li Cunxiao, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

As Ge Congzhou's styes expanded, his demonic energy surged. Behind him, the Ghost Mother opened her blood-red maw and vomited out many ghostly-looking Japanese soldiers, who rushed straight towards Li Cunxiao.

"Junior Brother Li!"

Li Siqi had just been knocked off his feet by Saga's attack, but now that he had caught his breath, he saw Li Cunxiao in a dangerous situation and his eyes immediately turned red.

Li Cunxiao was the hope of the Longxi Li clan in this chaotic world, and even the one who could lead the clan to a higher level in the future. Now that Ge Congzhou and others have stormed the mountain gate, something must have happened to the sect leader, and the Louguan sect may not even be around anymore.

If Li Cunxiao is gone, the path to Prince Jin's side will also be blocked!

In desperation, Li Siqi roared and tried to make the Dao soldiers form an array again, while Xue Tianyun's killing intent surged and his attack became violent in an instant. Aliqi was about to be unable to hold on.

Qida could not afford to lose a second general today, and Sakya Lama immediately took action upon seeing this.

The Crimson Tara waved her Dharma wheel, instantly creating a blazing mountain peak, like an iron mountain in hell, which pressed down fiercely on Xue Tianyun.

The latter's pupils constricted, and the two fish on the Yin-Yang swords swelled, yet they remained unmoved in the slightest.

Alichi looked relieved, and Sakya Lama, seeing that he had succeeded, immediately prepared to give chase.

But at that moment, a burst of lightning suddenly exploded, shattering Iron Mountain.

The image of Yamantaka soared into the sky, its patched-up bag hanging high, and a divine wind swept towards Ge Congzhou—

"Master, save me!"

Li Cunxiao shouted and turned around to see Ge Congzhou forced to stop by the tornado formed by the divine wind.

With the two pursuing grandmasters intercepted, his pressure was greatly reduced.

The Xuan Chi spear ripped through the sky, and the blood-red Chi tiger roared, spitting out a hundred-foot-long rainbow that swept across the battlefield, shattering the ghostly figure behind it into dust.

Ge Congzhou's gaze was cold. While resisting Qi Ci's attacks, he continued to make the Ghost Mother spit out Japanese soldiers, and he became anxious.

He had long heard of the reputation of the Laughing Buddha, and even the real body might not be a match for him, let alone the clone.
Even if the power of the Dharma body is used to resist, the avatar will be too exhausted to return to Baima Post Station. Even if Li Cunxiao is captured, it will only benefit the larger group of Yue Liduo and others.

Never before had Ge Congzhou felt a pang of regret for being overly cautious.

The reason I practiced this form of the Demon Mother was to be safe, as it could manifest in hundreds of forms, making it impossible for anyone to find the original.

This time, however, things backfired, leaving them stuck in a limbo.

"There are still experts?!"

Yue Liduo and the others looked grim, while Qin Li was overjoyed.

In fact, before Yan Daotong left, he told him that he had secretly found an accomplice.

He initially thought it was Zhen Ding from Qinglong Temple, but the other party also had to stay behind to guard the mountain gate, so in the end he didn't know who it was.

Unexpectedly, it was the Laughing Buddha; even more unexpectedly, the other party was Li Cunxiao's master!
There was no time for speculation at this point. Qin Li, spitting out blood, moved directly towards the battlefield.

In an instant, the original one against three became two against four, or rather three and a half, since Ge Congzhou was not in full condition.

"You dare to mess with my disciple? You're tired of living!"

Qi was furious and somewhat terrified.

Taiyi gained something from studying the Dongxuan Scripture, so of course he wouldn't have gained nothing.

Having both been stuck at the threshold of Grandmaster for many years, they had accumulated a lot of experience and insights. Just now, he had inadvertently gained some understanding.

That's why they were a little slow to sense the fighting at the Louguan Taoist gate and arrived a bit late.

The heir to the mantle was almost kidnapped!
A grandmaster, embodying the three elements as one. The rage in his heart was fully reflected in his Dharma form, and the body of Yamantaka instantly broke through a hundred meters.

The towering Ming King waved his eight arms, unleashing swords, spears, axes, and halberds amidst raging flames. His three heads spewed out countless lion roars, poisonous dragons, and precious pestles formed from true essence, even shattering the surrounding mountains!
"This is the true form of the Tantric teachings?! Such immense power!"

Beside the most valiant Tara, the Lion-Roaring Avalokiteshvara and the Lion-Faced Buddha Mother of the Moonlit Flower stood in three directions, trapping a monk, a Taoist priest, and Ge Congzhou in the middle.

It seemed like they had the upper hand, but the two Tibetan monks and Yue Liduo's faces were so taut that no wrinkles could be seen.

That monk is too fierce!
For a moment, they almost considered retreating.

But this time they've already lost a key general; if they return empty-handed, then the trip will have been completely in vain.

With this in mind, Yue Liduo and the other two gritted their teeth and persevered, and they actually got their chance.

The high monk was no immortal. Dragging the heavily injured Qin Li to fight three opponents was too much pressure for him.

At first, they were caught off guard, but once Yue Liduo and the other two got used to the offensive of the Great Vajrabhairava, he and Qin Li could only maintain a stalemate even when they joined forces.

The five Dharma images collided with a deafening roar, causing the Four Symbols Peaks to tremble.

Ge Congzhou was caught in the middle, and his situation was extremely awkward.

"No, if this drags on any longer, my clone will just die in vain."

"We can't capture Li Cunxiao now, so we have no choice but to kill him to prevent someone else from getting his hands on him!"

Upon thinking of this, Ge Congzhou's expression hardened, and the ten-zhang-tall demonic shadow behind him suddenly solidified.

The woman, with her purplish-blue skin and long, sticky, black hair, had something wriggling inside her large belly, and her mouth was wide open, revealing menacing fangs!
The ghost mother's Adam's apple bobbed, and she spat out again, revealing two hazy shadows, one bright and one dark.

The one that was clearly visible attracted the attention of Qi and the others, and was immediately blasted to smithereens.

The dark one dissipated into the air in the blink of an eye and could not be seen at all.

Only Qici reacted quickly and immediately looked at his apprentice:

"Oh no! Cunxiao, be careful!"

Li Cunxiao, who had been watching the commotion from a distance, felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. Before he could react, his vision blurred, and he found himself in another dimension.

Red silk curtains, dim candlelight, the scent of sandalwood.

A decadent melody arose, seemingly an ancient tune, savage and raw.

The curtain was lifted, revealing more than a dozen women dressed in thin gauze with alluring faces surrounding her.

With alluring eyes and captivating smiles, their movements are subtly suggestive. Just by looking at them, one can tell they are the epitome of womanhood.

But how could these things be on the battlefield?

Li Cunxiao immediately realized that he must have fallen into an illusion.

Ge Congzhou's face suddenly appeared in this illusory space.

"Li Cunxiao, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Demon Dance?"

“The World-Honored One wished to attain enlightenment, but the Lord of the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven sent a celestial maiden to tempt him and disturb his mind. In the end, she was subdued by the World-Honored One.”

"But you are not the Buddha."

"These sixteen celestial maidens are all exceptional in their own way. Their fighting spirit and patience are astonishing, and their unique skills will give you unexpected surprises!"

"In my illusion, the power of these sixteen celestial maidens is just as formidable as that of Yan Daotong and Zhen Jing, the immortals of the terrestrial realm!"

Oops.

Li Cunxiao felt a deep sense of unease. He was not afraid of illusions or seduction; he was confident that he could regain his senses instantly by activating the Vajra Pestle.

However, what was in front of him was just Ge Congzhou's clone!

If the existence of the Vajra is exposed and the opponent is still alive, he can already imagine what kind of storm he will face in the future.

In comparison, it would be better to reveal the magic treasure!
"You bunch of pink skeletons, get out of my way! I'll kill you all!"

While communicating with Lingbao, Li Cunxiao pretended to be in a state of collapse to confuse the other party.

Outside, the phantom of the Ghost Mother enveloped Li Cunxiao and the blue lion beneath him.

The nine-headed green lion, its eyes dull and gray, turned and headed towards Baima Post Station, carrying its master.

Ge Congzhou smiled.

He still wouldn't want to waste talent if he could capture him alive.

The Ming Cult's sacrificial methods are effective, but they incur too much cost.

It's one thing to use a lot of human sacrifices during wartime, but isn't this about conquering the world? If Zhu Quanzhong becomes emperor in the future, they will be the founding dukes, and all the people will be their property!

People aren't like leeks, where you can cut one crop and another will grow back.

Whether the Ming Cult was a heretical sect or not, they themselves knew all too well.

Having a skilled alchemist would put everything on the right track and also reduce the Ming Cult's influence on the army after the war.

After all, the state religion only needed to control the people; if it interfered with the army, Zhu Quanzhong would find it difficult to tolerate.
"Huh? No!"

The image of the Ghost Mother suddenly trembled violently, and Ge Congzhou himself changed his expression drastically, his body cracked open, and blood flowed like a river.

Its fanged maw opened wide, as if it were vomiting out a bronze mirror the size of a millstone with its life on the line.

On the bronze mirror, Li Cunxiao is carrying a nine-headed green lion, looking surprised and uncertain.

He was just about to use his magical treasure when the Bone-Illuminating Mirror he had left on his body suddenly reacted and broke through the Ghost Mother's Dharma Form.

As if in response to his inner doubts, a blue sun slowly rose on Azure Dragon Peak in the Myriad Palace.

The light pushed aside, and when viewed from above, it resembled a hemisphere, enveloping the entire mountain gate.

Li Cunxiao, seeing the familiar old Taoist figure in the blue sky, exclaimed with great joy under the horrified gazes of Yue Liduo and the others:
"Master, save me!"
