Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

Those at the front were all Ningyi's trusted subordinates, while externally hired demons like Lu Yan consciously stayed in the back, just observing.

The core of the battlefield is still the two demons, Ningyi and Duobi Mojiang, and their victory or defeat will determine the outcome of this war.

"Blazing Flames!" Ningyi roared, and raging flames formed around him, each strike capable of causing explosive damage.

Those bandits who approached him were instantly burned to ashes by the raging flames.

The Crimson Flame Demon's ultimate move is to unleash a fire attack, making it a master of fire manipulation.

It is similar to the Blazing Flame Sect in the cultivation world. The difference is that the Blazing Flame Sect's flames are magical attacks, while the Crimson Flame Demon's flames are innate abilities. The levels are different, and the damage is also different.

"Oh~ this trick again, but it's far inferior to last time. Are you out of your mind?" The multi-armed demon general channeled his demonic power into a protective shield around his body, isolating him from Ningyi's raging flames.

"Damn it!" Seeing that his attacks had not caused any effective damage to the multi-armed demon general, Ningyi could only target his bandit minions.

"ah--"

With a wave of his hand, Ningyi engulfed more than a dozen bandits in flames. With each wave, the flames burned fiercer and fiercer, and the bandits were burned to pieces in no time.

"Convergence!" Seeing this, the multi-armed demon general didn't care about anything else and gathered a lot of magic power, swinging all six swords forward at the same time.

A massive black blade of energy was generated, rushing towards Ningyi with unparalleled momentum.

The heavy city gate was split apart by the blade's energy as easily as if it were tofu.

The black blade energy was extremely fast, and Ningyi was hit directly without even having a chance to dodge.

"ah--"

The black blade energy engulfed Ning Yi, and the flames on his body were extinguished instantly.

Blood and bits of flesh splattered across the city walls.

After the black blade energy disappeared, Ningyi had lost its demonic form, and one of its remaining two arms was severed, leaving a huge wound running from its chest to its thigh.

His internal organs were also uncontrollably flowing downwards.

"Lord of the Fortress!" Two level-ten magic soldiers wanted to step forward to help.

"You're courting death!" The multi-armed demon general didn't give them that chance, and with two sword strikes, he tore them apart.

"Hahaha~ Although I don't know what your purpose is in coming here, I will not let you get away with this even if I die. Secret Technique: Divine Soul Blaze!" Seeing his trusted subordinates being slaughtered one by one by the bandit demon, Ningyi began his final frenzy.

He rapidly burned his soul, and the flames that had been extinguished on his body reignited, even more intensely, with blood becoming his fuel. His pupils instantly turned black.

The entire demon hovered in the air, its originally red flames now mixed with inky black, making it look extremely eerie from a distance.

"Damn it, are you going to be completely destroyed?" Seeing Ningyi like this, the multi-armed demon general was shocked and quickly retreated to create distance between them.

"Trying to run? Die with me!" He spotted the multi-armed demon general Ningyi and pounced on him.

"Diverting the flow!" The multi-armed demon general swiftly swung the six swords in his hands, and countless crescent-shaped sword energies quickly converged and attacked.

However, these sword energies quickly melted upon contact with Ningyi's flames, and no matter how the multi-armed demon general attacked, he could not harm Ningyi.

"Burn him!" The moment they got close to the multi-armed demon general, raging flames engulfed him.

"Boom!"

Explosions followed one after another, and flames poured down onto the city walls, burning the bricks.

The spectacular scene in the sky caused the demons below to stop fighting and watch with rapt attention.

The outcome of the battle between the two demons will determine the course of this fight.

After burning his divine soul, Ningyi would definitely not survive, but whether he could kill the multi-armed demon general was still unknown.

As time passed, the flames in the sky grew smaller and smaller until they were completely extinguished, at which point the demons could finally see the situation clearly.

Ningyi has vanished, not only his body but also his soul.

However, the multi-armed demon general now had a white bone shield that emitted a faint blue light.

Even so, the multi-armed demon general was seriously injured.

All of its clothes had disappeared, its hair had been burned away, and most of its flesh had been roasted, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Phew~" Seeing that he had survived Ningyi's suicidal attack, the multi-armed demon general breathed a sigh of relief, slowly flew down, took out a pill and put it in his mouth to recover from his injuries.

"The lord of the fortress is dead!"

"The lord is dead! Run!"

Ningyi's death also caused the demons of Star River Fortress to collapse, and they all began to flee for their lives.

"Boom!"

But before the demons could take two steps, there was another violent explosion.

After the explosion, countless objects flew everywhere.

Weapons, magic stones, scrolls, pills, medicinal herbs, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that Ningyi's storage device had exploded, and the contents inside had been blown out.

The lord of Xinghe Fortress, Ningyi, had brought a lot of valuable items from his armory before he arrived. The explosion must have been caused by the intense battle just now.

"Grab it!" The demons who were about to flee turned around and began to snatch the things falling from the sky, and the bandit demons did the same.

At this time, the area around the city gate became even more chaotic. The demons and bandits of Star River Fortress no longer attacked each other. Sometimes, bandits would fight over the same thing.

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. He specifically selected the magic stones and medicinal herbs falling from the sky, ignoring all the weapons and scrolls.

"Go to hell!" A level seven bandit demon, the Devourer, encountered Lu Yan and attacked him without saying a word.

"Clang~"

"Tch~"

Lu Yan's thin knife sliced ​​through the demon's weapon and then across his throat.

Lu Yan passed by him, and the demon's corpse fell to the ground, its head severed from its body.

The gushing blood instantly stained the ground red.

With a single strike, the level seven demonic soldier, the Demon Eater, died.

Lu Yan didn't linger; after touching the corpse, he continued searching for the magic stone that had fallen from the sky.

Looking around, he found that the place was in complete chaos, and the multi-armed demon general was still healing his wounds without moving, having no time to manage the bandits.

He also unexpectedly discovered that the Frost Demon Xuefei had been following him not far away.

I don't understand what she's doing.

"Hmm?" While searching, they saw three level-eight demon soldiers fighting over a black iron box.

The struggle was extremely fierce, and there were many corpses at their feet, so this iron box must be something special.

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and used his speed advantage to charge directly into the battle.

"You're courting death!" Seeing another fearless demonic cultivator join in, and only a level seven demonic soldier, a level eight demonic soldier directly slammed his hammer down heavily on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan remained calm upon seeing this, and used his agile movements to dodge the attack and reach the vicinity of the iron box.
