"Are there any other records about this demon?"

"Demons are those with the strength to lift an elephant, bodies like Vajra, bloodthirsty and murderous. Once they appear in the world, chaos will ensue." Chen Fenghuo explained simply: "There is another version in the book, but I don't know if it is credible now... It is that demons come out in groups. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be four... As long as one demon appears in the world, many more will inevitably follow."

"But... I don't know why your name as the Blood Demon has spread throughout the Great Zhao, yet you are still the only one."

“I’ve already told you I’m not a demon,” Xi Heng reminded him.

However, the other party simply did not believe it: "Perhaps there are some errors in the records."

Xi Heng rubbed his temples, steered the conversation away from the topic, and began to share his speculations:

"The kind of demon you described has an indestructible body and can subconsciously use lethal spells during battle... It's more like a cultivator from the ancient Chonghai cultivation world."

"The inscription on the stele just now said that the cultivation world of Chonghai was covered by a sea of ​​blood, and the fate of the cultivators there is unknown... perhaps they were transformed into these mindless demons."

Chen Huofeng believed that the demons were born from the Great Dark Heaven, rather than being cultivators.

However, she did not refute it, but simply nodded quietly.

Xi Heng stood up:

"There may be other demons and monsters on this island. We should leave as soon as possible."

“According to the records, there shouldn’t be too many demons,” Chen Fenghuo suggested. “If we can defeat them one by one, perhaps we can be fine.”

“Activating a flying sword requires spiritual energy, and the fire surge technique just now is even more so.”

Xi Heng shook his head: "I don't have much spiritual energy left. If I encounter any more monsters or demons like this, I can only kill two more at most."

Chen Fenghuo asked, puzzled:

"Didn't you use hundreds of spirit stones at once when you rescued the ship?"

She thought Xi Heng's spirit stone reserves were far greater than she had imagined, given how extravagantly he used them.

Why are you suddenly saying you have no spiritual energy left?

“Squandering is squandering, but existing assets are existing assets,” Xi Heng waved his hand.

There is no necessary connection between the two.

"Let's go back to the beach first. I need to retract the orders I gave to the crew earlier."

If there are other demons on the island, and they are provoked by the crew's men, there's not much she can do.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed to use a full hundred pills to unleash the Blood Sea Technique this time," Xi Heng thought to himself.

"If we fail this time, next time I will lead the fleet around the whirlpool, around this island... eastward until we can go no further."

If he cannot find the immortals on his own, Xi Heng will ascend the throne in the Great Zhao Dynasty and launch a nationwide search for immortals and the Dao.

If there are no immortals in the East, go to the North; if there are none in the North, go to the West.

If the inscription on the stone tablet inside the room wasn't extensive, she would have already found the Immortal Island, only that it had collapsed before she arrived.

If you missed it this time, you can make it next time.

As long as paradise exists in this world, she will surely be able to find it.

Xi Heng stepped onto the ground covered with bones and took a few steps down the mountain.

In an instant, eerie wails echoed from all directions.

……

Chapter 93, Sharing the Same Light

"Woo~"

The sound was extremely suppressed, as if something had blocked most of the throat.

Even so, the person making the sound still used considerable effort to utter wisps of sound from their blocked throat.

The strange noise echoed through the mountains and forests, reverberating continuously.

After a few seconds, the howling gradually subsided.

Xi Heng had just gained a moment of peace when, in the next instant, a deep, hoarse chanting voice rang out again.

"Aura..."

The two words swayed gently, like a pack of wolves in the mountains echoing each other, seemingly surrounding the two of them from all directions.

What's even more unsettling is that these sounds are indistinguishable from the previous demons.

"There are indeed other demons on the island... and in large numbers."

With his keen hearing, Xi Heng could detect several rustling footsteps slowly approaching.

A moment later, dark red, blurry ghost-like figures crawled up from all around.

His hair was dry and brittle, his limbs were atrophied, his clothes were tattered, his nails were long and thin, and his mouth was black and red.

It was exactly the same as the demons they had just encountered.

Xi Heng pursed his lips as he saw the group of creatures approaching.

Chen Fenghuo, feeling threatened, subconsciously moved closer to Xi Heng.

"The demons came for spiritual energy, probably because they sensed the energy I felt when I used the spirit stone just now..."

With a sword intent as still as water, Xi Heng calmly faced the perilous situation before him, his mind racing with thoughts.

Chen Fenghuo forced himself to remain calm, his ten fingers half-clenched.

Two or three seconds later, Xi Heng came up with a rather unreliable idea and quickly said:

"I will take out a spirit stone to attract the demon's attention, and you can take the opportunity to escape to the beach and have the crew do their best to repair the ship. Just make sure it can be put on the road."

"I have spirit stones that can lure demons to the seaside. Once I throw them into the sea... these crazy people who only seek spiritual energy should also fall into the sea to chase after them. After I return, I will immediately set off to leave this wretched island."

She knew the plan was unreliable; although the demons had gone mad, they still retained some human habits and might not necessarily fall into the sea with the spirit stone.

The holes left by the boats on the beach are huge, and they can't be repaired in a short time.

With so many problems intertwined, the chances of her plan succeeding are extremely slim.

But the situation was urgent, so Xi Heng had no choice but to give it a try.

"Okay." And the other party could only agree.

The girl silently drew her flying sword, her gaze sweeping over each demon.

Within seconds of speaking, more and more demons appeared, staggering closer like zombies.

The faster-moving demons have already come within twenty meters.

The monster wore a long robe that appeared to be stained red and black with blood, with many torn marks on the surface. Its body was filthy, and only its body shape barely retained a few proportions.

Through this, one can glimpse the appearance of the demon before us as someone who cultivated immortality and practiced Qi.

Now, however, they have become hideous monsters whose mouths attract flies, their bodies filthy and unclean... having wandered for who knows how many years.

Xi Heng picked up his rough longsword with both hands, assumed a martial arts stance, and stared at the person closest to him.

The new demon before them seemed to have practiced martial arts, instinctively seeking balance as it moved its feet.

On the surface, it appeared to be staggering like the other demons and ghosts, but in reality, its center of gravity had not truly lost its balance.

Dealing with such a monster would obviously be much more troublesome.

Moreover, there is not just one enemy in front of us; many other similar powerful enemies are approaching from the surrounding area.

Xi Heng closed his eyes slightly and activated his sword spirit.

The flying sword in his hand, forged from mysterious materials, transformed into a sword core, and Xi Heng sensed faint traces of spiritual energy flowing through it.

The demons before me are remnants of spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy is to them like flames and ashes.

That's why they can't stop craving spiritual energy.

……

Recently, a slender demon bared its teeth, quickened its pace, and swung its sharp claws, creating a whooshing sound as it struck the air.

Xi Heng attacked with his rapier, but only felt his protective energy trembling and about to shatter.

“Even stronger than the previous one…” She used her light footwork to retreat.

But the demons and monsters could also stride forward, transforming into blood shadows to pursue relentlessly, their mouths, filthy as if they had swallowed mud, revealing their dirty, sharp teeth, and extending their claws to continue their attack.

Xi Heng's figure shifted ghostly, and he immediately hid behind a giant tree that was as thick as two people could hug.

The next instant, the base of the tree shattered into a pile of wood chips under the enemy's attack.

She continued to dodge, and the giant trees around her fell down one after another.

Although trees cannot completely defend against the power of demons, they can still serve to delay them—the flying wood chips can obscure the view, and the pursuing mindless demons will usually be stunned for a moment.

In that instant, Xi Heng was able to retreat five meters.

As she ran and dodged, she also attracted other demons in the vicinity.

Dozens of hungry demons, old and young, male and female, rushed forward with intense thirst.

In just over ten seconds, the demon's blood-red, lifeless eyes were fixed on her.

"Come on!"

Chen Fenghuo, who had been looking for an opportunity to escape, immediately used his lightness skill to flee as quickly as possible towards a relatively empty area.

Seeing that several demons were about to turn and chase after Chen Fenghuo, Xi Heng did not hesitate to grab a spirit stone from his inventory and hold it tightly, letting it drift away in wisps.

Instantly, the demons chasing her became very interested, their eyes fixed on her raised right hand.

"Give me!"

The closest banshee went berserk again, smashing through a rock and desperately reaching out to grab it.

Suddenly, a flash of blood-red light appeared in the air, and scarlet claws spontaneously materialized.

The blood claws tore through her sleeves, almost slicing her wrist.

Xi Heng used his internal force to neutralize the opponent's momentum. The opponent had nowhere to gain leverage in the air, so he only needed to neutralize the opponent's momentum to barely stop him for half a second.

However, the pure burst of energy consumption is too great. If used in succession, it will be difficult to maintain the lightness skill after only five times, so it must be used with caution.

"This time, there's really no guarantee of survival..."

Xi Heng sighed softly and continued to leap through the air on tree branches, heading towards the shore opposite the direction of the fleet's beach at top speed.

The demons pursued relentlessly, constantly roaring the word "spiritual energy."

In their current state of madness, they are unable to use light footwork or magic to run forward, and can only use pure physical strength to stomp indentations in the ground to propel themselves.

Such a crude method cannot unleash its true power and is insufficient to catch up with Xi Heng, who is using his Hua Jin lightness skill.

As she led dozens of demons to the opposite sea area, the Crimson Goddess was also rushing towards the shore where the ship had run aground.

Her trembling hands clenched into tiny fists as she murmured to herself.

As the ten fingers finally formed the hand seal, a magic rune attached to her slender waist and back gradually began to glow faintly.

……

A few minutes later, Xi Heng, who was being chased by a group of demons, heard the sound of the rising and falling waves of the sea.

Ahead, the sun shone down, its light spreading out, and the phosphorescent specks resembled countless stars falling onto the azure sea.

Fine sand covers seashells and conches, gradually becoming damp from repeated washing by the tide. Seagulls step on it, calling softly, and one even tilts its head back to eat an octopus.

Normally, if Xi Heng saw such a natural and refreshing scene, he would probably stop and quietly look at it for a while to relax.

Unfortunately, the situation is now extremely urgent and pressing.

Dozens of strange-looking demons dressed in dark red were chasing after her, roaring incessantly.

The monster stepped onto the beach, startling the seagulls into flapping their wings and fleeing, while crabs and turtles of all sizes hurriedly left.

flutter--

With his brocade shoes on the wet sand, Xi Heng continued running directly into the sea.

The demon stomped down with tremendous force, its calves sinking into the sand.

She could float on the sea with her light-footed skills, while the demons, upon arriving at sea, would bar their fangs and claws and pounce on the water, their speed immediately decreasing several times over.
