“The medicine garden is easy to settle, let’s talk about it in private.” Feng Su answered back with a vague wink. Her fingers were slowly stroking the storage bracelet on her wrist, where there was a newly acquired portrait. There was a beautiful and unique beauty painted on it, the Immortal Qingtong of Woyun Sect, exactly the same face as the beauty she saw in the Duantian Mo Palace that day.
The two powers of the Righteous Path and the Demon Path were similar to fire and water, and Mo Tianliao was said to have been a disciple of Qingtong before.With such information in her hands, perhaps the medicine garden could still be discussed.
Xing Yao took the least advantage when Duantian died. He only took a few immortal cities and didn’t say much. This was also a customary rule. If Mo Tianliao’s strength was higher than them, all the things that they had stolen must be returned. If it was not as good as them, then it was another matter.
Ming Yan supported his forehead with one hand and said nothing.
But Chi Xiang couldn’t help it. Why did the other Demon Lords hand over a few things? From him, Mo Tianliao wanted all the forces back, which was the same as killing him quickly. At the beginning, he took a lot of advantage because of Duantian’s death. However, the three hundred years of hard work was not a joke. Although he was not as powerful as the Supreme Demon Venerable, he was still as powerful as the others.
“Venerable Duantian already has the entire Woyun Sect, do you still care about these little immortal cities?” Chi Xiang crushed the jade cup in his hand, as he suddenly released a strong aura.
Everyone was taken aback, they had all heard that the Demon Lord Duantian was in Woyun Sect recently. Was this for the sake of annexing the Woyun Sect for himself? This was incredible.
Righteous Path and Demon Path were different from one another. Although Demon Venerables were very powerful, they were after all a single person. They had many subordinates and clans. Though these demonic sects would worship a Demon Venerable, they didn’t completely listen to him. However, the three sects of the Righteous Path were different. Not to mention that they had tens of thousands of years of heritage, and many of their predecessors had ascended. The power and wealth accumulated over the years were not comparable to that of a single demon lord.
If Duantian had obtained the entire Woyun Sect, it would be enough to contend with Ming Yan.
Ming Yan upon hearing these words, frowned slightly, glanced at the cat in Mo Tianliao’s arms, and said nothing.
“I have heard that Woyun Sect has many shape-shifting demonic beasts, and they have not signed a blood contract. Venerable Duantian has already set up a mountain protection array for the clan of Woyun. Isn’t this same as taking all those demonic beasts for his own use?” Chi Xiang stood up, and his whole body emitted strong spiritual power. He and Duantian had long been engaged in a feud, and everything related to Duantian these days was slapping him on the face, and he couldn’t bear to stay silent.
Feng Su secretly scolded Chi Xiang for talking too much, by exposing all of these, her so-called ultimate weapon would not threaten Duantian anymore!
“So what?” Mo Tianliao stroked the kitten in his arms, put him on the head of the black lion, got up and adjusted his clothes, “Even if this Seat owns the entire Taixuan Continent, it will not prevent this Seat from wanting your life!”
As soon as the sound of the last sentence fell, the two of them jumped off the platform at the same time.
The demonic cultivators in the audience suddenly boiled with excitement.
They hadn’t seen a fight between Demon Venerables for so many years. In previous years, it was only those five people. Basically, after everyone challenged a Demon Venerable, the five of them would drink together and break up in a hurry, and they were so friendly. Now it is really fortunate to see the top masters of Demon Path in a duel, this was a very rare opportunity for ordinary demonic cultivators.
The valley was very deep, and the platform was very high. When the two cultivators competed, they naturally protected themselves in mid-air, basically keeping it level with the high platform. The other spectators had to tilt their heads upwards to see the fight as their seats were not level with the competitor ground.
Chi Xiang was a monk of Shan Huo Linggen. When his extraordinary aptitude was discovered, the Taiyin people have been secretly supporting him since his primordial golden core stage.
When he became a Half-Immortal, they directly took him to the sect for worship, with the expectation that one day he could break the deadlock of those five demon venerables.
The five Demon Venerables were too united, and it was not a good thing for the Ten Great Demonic Sects. Only when the Demon Venerables fought could they have a chance to breathe, and the Demon Venerables who were biased towards their own sect could reap the benefits.
As soon as he started, Chi Xiang made a big move. Countless flames rose into the sky, with Chi Xiang as the center, turning into thousands of fire snakes to surround Mo Tianliao.
“Is he stupid?” Shi Di grabbed the fur on the lion’s neck and curled his lips, “Setting so many fires in front of Duantian, isn’t he looking for death?”
The black lion turned his head and bit him, and roared into his master’s consciousness through the blood bond: “How many times have I told you, you mother… don’t pull my hair!”
The cat, who was looking attentively, raised his paw and patted the lion’s messy cushion head, and the lion immediately straightened his head.
Sure enough, as expected, Mo Tianliao raised his hand and slowly drew a Tai Chi talisman in the air, putting his palms together moments before the fire snakes licked the corner of his clothes. Thousands of fire snakes seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool, revolving around the huge Tai Chi diagram, and finally all came together in one place, suddenly burst out, and rushed straight towards Chi Xiang.
This is the famous trick of Venerable Duantian, “Tai Chi Containing Fire Art”!
Chi Xiang sneered. He had already studied the tricks of Duantian. His body flickered, and suddenly turned into a phantom when the fire snakes attacked. This was a very difficult thing to achieve in the fire attribute cultivation method. It was called a “Fire Mirage”, which was an illusion that was spawned by countless fire spiritual powers. Projecting his own shadow, the actual real person was behind him!
Mo Tianliao suddenly turned back. Chi Xiang’s red silver spear had reached the tip of his nose.
“Bang!” With a sound, the red silver spear poked at a small tortoise-shell shield. Chi Xiang was stunned for a moment. He didn’t see when Duantian took out his shield. He didn’t have time to think about it as countless spikes came at him like a pear blossom storm.
Chi Xiang quickly got away and tried to escape. Unexpectedly, the silver spear was sucked by the shield. When he turned to see, where there was a shield, now there was clearly a hook, and his weapon was pulled out tightly.
Because of this little bit of inactivity, countless fine needles pierced his defensive spiritual shield. These needles were not high-level spiritual weapons. They were just common magical weapons, but they were too many to handle. They soon weakened his thick defense by one layer.
Chi Xiang couldn’t pull out his spear, so he just simply thrusted the silver spear forward and continued to attack.
Mo Tianliao immediately turned sideways, and violent sparks were created between the silver spear and the hook because of the abundant spiritual power.
“Oh, hot, hot, hot!!” Taishi yelled in his consciousness, but he didn’t say anything again. Obviously, it doesn’t matter. On the other hand, Chi Xiang’s silver spear had been chewed off by Taishi.
Chi Xiang was startled. The silver spear was a high-grade spiritual weapon. How could it be shaved off so easily?
Regardless of many surprising moves of Duantian, Chi Xiang quickly drew away. He then attached his fire spiritual power to the spiritual weapon, and directly controlled it with his divine thoughts, and attacked Mo Tianliao. Mo Tianliao also released Taishi to meet the enemy. For many different things, the divine weapon didn’t need his divine mind to control it within ten feet, and Taishi could fight happily by himself.
But seeing that the tortoise-shell colored hook turned into a long chain, which wound around the silver spear tightly, Chi Xiang saw the situation was not good and immediately controlled the spiritual weapon to fly outward. Seeing that it could not fly out, he simply dragged the chain and attacked Mo Tianliao with his fire spiritual power.
Taishi was very upset about the misbehavior of his prey, and couldn’t help but wrap around it tighter. However, the thin body was too slippery and could not be held on for long, so Taishi had to turn into a shield and hit it back and forth.
No matter where the silver spear fled, the tortoise-shell shield would chase there, and it could accurately find the angle to hit it, and from time to time, when the spiritual weapon failed to protect, Taishi would turn into a big sword and slashed toward Chi xiang. Chi Xiang had never seen such a flexible thing before, as if it had a sense of intelligence, so he had to separate more divine thoughts to control his spiritual weapon.
On the other hand, Mo Tianliao was very relaxed and concentrated on hitting him.
Countless green vines rose from the sky and surrounded Chi Xiang. At the same time, raging flames emerged from the vines, and the green vines became withered and yellow, intensifying the burning of the flames. Chi Xiang was not afraid of fire, but he couldn’t just stand in the same place to be burnt. He immediately tried to control the flame.
“Huh? Didn’t that kid Duantian have the earth and fire dual spiritual roots? Where did the wood come from? ” Shi Di asked while he scratched his head.
“It must be from the current body he is using, this is obviously not his original body.” Feng Su deduced after seeing the fight. She took the cup Mo Tianliao had gifted and added spring water and fruit to the cup. Shook it and soon got a cup full of sweet and sour ice shavings that was so delicious that one could not stop eating.
Mo Tianliao magnified his moves while throwing out countless little bits and pieces of magical weapons. These small artifacts were not powerful, but they were very annoying. Some specialized in piercing the soles of the feet, some specialized in biting the ass, and some exploded when they encountered the protective shield, spraying colorful powder, and quickly covering the entire shield in the color.
The people in the audience saw countless auras flashing, that were very beautiful, and they saw colorful powder spewing out. They thought it was a big trick, and happily applauded.
Chi Xiang was going crazy by those annoying little things, and with a roar, he raised his body’s spiritual Qi to the highest level, and smashed all the small magical artifacts with a violent earthquake.
Mo Tianliao stopped, and when he finished bombing, he quickly threw a handful of new ones past his opponent.
The few people on the high flatform who were watching straight at the battle, couldn’t help the smile curling on their lips. This was the reason why they didn’t want to fight with Duantian, so they directly promoted him to the second rank. It was really annoying. It’s not pleasant to fight with him at all.
In the end, Chi Xiang couldn’t bear it. He ignored all the small magical artifacts, recalled his own spiritual weapon and rushed directly towards Mo Tianliao.
Mo Tianliao recalled Taishi and turned it into a firewood hatchet. He jumped up and chopped it straight onto the barrel of the silver spear. And with a ‘Ka cha’, the barrel made of innumerable rare materials was chopped down like a piece of firewood. It was very sad.
Then, Mo Tianliao casually threw out another black round bead and knocked it on Chi Xiang’s defensive shield like an egg. With a ‘Puff’, black smoke came out. The black smoke was not poisonous or something with spiritual power, it was just ordinary black ash. It directly penetrated the defensive cover and dyed Chi Xiang’s face black.
“Ahhh -” Chi Xiang completely collapsed, released his spirit, and directly attacked Mo Tianliao. At the same time, he gathered all his body’s spiritual Qi in his palms and patted Mo Tianliao’s spiritual shield.
The vigorous strength of a half-immortal was overwhelming with great pressure. If one tried to face this palm, then they would definitely be seriously injured. Mo Tianliao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the green spirit attached to the woodfire greeted him eagerly. He just hugged the spiritual Qi of Chi Xiang, and at the same time, he reached out his hands and caught Chi Xiang’s palms.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!–“ The huge explosion shook the entire valley turbulently, Ming Yan raised his hand and placed another restriction on the high platform to isolate the aftermath of the mighty power.
“Ahhh—-” Chi Xiang wailed bitterly in the middle of the huge booming sound. His whole soul was caught in the woodfire, and it was burned by the immortal spiritual fire of heaven and earth. It was really uncomfortable.
“Originally, I never thought of killing you, but then you had bad intentions towards the Woyun Sect.” Mo Tianliao opened his mouth slowly, and his voice directly transmitted to Chi Xiang’s soul.
“Ha ha ha, do you think you can protect Woyun Sect? I’ve already publicized the fact that all of Woyun Sect are demonic beast cultivators. It will not be long before everyone would know…, ha ha, ahhh — “Chi Xiang screamed and laughed.
“What did you say?” Mo Tianliao was surprised. What did he mean by saying that everyone in the sect was a demonic beast cultivator? The previous rumors were only that Woyun Sect had hidden some shape-shifting demonic beasts, but by saying all were shape-shifting demonic beast cultivators actually meant that even the elders of the Sect were also demonic beast cultivators! How did this person come to know?
His intention was to ask Chi Xiang clearly on what he meant, but the woodfire was so fierce that it had already devoured his soul. The body without the soul fell straight into the void, fell into the valley, and was broken to pieces.
The people under the stage were stunned, and looked up stiffly at the black figure standing with empty hands.
In a duel between two Demon Lords, they usually each have their own victory and defeat. Even if one side wins, the other side will not lose too badly, but what did they see? Duantian directly killed Venerable Chi Xiang, and he himself looked calm and light, and still had plenty of energy.
Mo Tianliao pretended to stand in the void for a long time to accept the admiration of the people. But in fact, he was adjusting his breath and suppressing the surging Qi and blood in his body. Chi Xiang’s hard palm was really powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even let out his woodfire. Without full resistance, the outcome of the fight might have been a loss or win, it was hard to say.
He quickly circulated the spiritual energy of his everlasting wood within his body, and repaired all the internal injuries he suffered. Mo Tianliao wiped away a wisp of blood from the corner of his mouth, and then returned to the platform with a relaxed appearance. With the strength of his spiritual Qi, he passed the voice to everyone present: “Chi Xiang is dead. From today on, all the forces of Demon Lord Chi Xiang belongs to this Seat. I will expect your pledge of allegiance in the Duantian Mo Palace within three months.”
“We are under your command!” Under the stage, the forces belonging to Chi Xiang knelt down and saluted one after another, shouting loudly.
Mo Tianliao slowly turned back and looked at the remaining Demon Venerables: “You guys, are you going to return my stuff to me directly or fight with me?”
“Duantian! You son of a bitch, you cheated me!” Shi Di slapped the table and rushed over to hold Mo Tianliao’s right hand, “What is this? Huh?”
Just now he saw clearly on the high platform that Mo Tianliao’s spiritual weapon was a tortoiseshell! That weapon was not very hard and it changed shapes at will. It was not comparable to his stupid pig-killing knife. No matter how silly he was, he could see that it was the real divine weapon!
“It’s called Taishi.” Mo Tianliao said without an ounce of guilt.
Taishi immediately broke away from the wrist guard and turned into a big mouth: “Yo, hello everyone, my name is Taishi. I’m a divine weapon, quack!”
The mouths of several demon lords dropped open, and even Ming Yan was taken aback.
“Have you really become a divine weapon?” Ming Yan said slowly, raising his hand to draw the big mouth tortoiseshell to the front.
“Hey, I’m telling you, don’t get any ideas about me. I was refined by the master with his own spirit. I can not be refined by others. I will die if the master dies!” Taishi could feel the strength of the person in front of him and said quickly.
“The wisdom of heaven and earth is really magical.” Ming Yan seldom spoke, but said so many sentences today.
Mo Tianliao was stunned. Did Ming Yan even know that the essence of the divine weapon was spiritual wisdom?
“Then what is this?” Shi Di shook the Taishi* Pig-Killing Knife in front of Mo Tianliao’s eyes.
It’s Taishi* Pig-Killing Knife. Mo Tianliao called Taishi over and turned him into a pig-killing knife. They were very similar. The only difference was that there was a bright red flame mark on Shi Di’s knife.
“You despicable bastard, you cheated me off so many spirit stones, and you want to get back the mines, there’s no way!” Shi Di snorted.
“Shi Di, do your calculations. The materials you bought are just enough to refine this spiritual weapon. I had only taken the money you had paid for crafting, but you dared to swallow my mine?” Mo Tianliao squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice.
“Er…” he choked. He felt that Mo Tianliao’s words were reasonable. He produced the materials for the weapon himself and made a spiritual weapon for him. He didn’t charge money as much as before. It seemed like he had taken advantage, but something didn’t quite feel right still.
The black lion covered his eyes with his paws. ‘You still have the money to buy that weapon in the auction house, idiot!”
“Ah, yes, there’s also the money I spent to buy this weapon!” Shi Di suddenly awoke from his thoughts when he heard the big lion’s comment. Not wanting to return anything, including the mine, he grabbed Mo Tianliao and dragged him into the void to fight him.
The Taishi* Earth Tearing Hammer was so powerful that Mo Tianlio dared not meet it head on, he turned around to avoid it, and spilled a row of nails toward the ground. This kind of nail would stick firmly to the Qi of the cultivator, like a needle hidden in a cotton cushion, and would pierce the foot accurately.
“Ouch!” Shi Di was pierced in the soles of his feet and screamed, “If you have the skill, then fight me head on! Don’t play tricks.”
“Playing tricks is also a skill!” Mo Tianliao set fire to Shi Di’s pants.
With a roar, Shi Di brought out his Taishi* Sky Splitting Axe and slashed it towards Mo Tianliao. Today, there is no limit on the number of hits the Sky Splitting Axe will do. He can take them out from the beginning of the fight.
Mo Tianliao turned Taishi into a back shield and faced the axe straight up. The shape of the back shield did not look like a tree stump, but the axe got stuck into the shield directly.
Without caring about the axe anymore, Shi Di rushed over with the Pig-Killing Knife.
Mo Tianliao immediately released the vine to entangle Shi Di’s big thick arm. With his backhand, Shi Di cut the vine, however, the vine ignited a raging fire, making him unable to escape.
Seeing this, the black lion rushed over and turned into a human figure. He grasped the vine, broke it and released his master. He took the Pig-Killing Knife to deal with the vine. Shi Di freed his hand and immediately brought out the Earth Tearing Hammer, and directly attacked Mo Tianliao.
Since demonic pets were usually contracted with the master, it was not considered foul if the pet also fought along with the master. In the face of this fierce attack, Mo Tianliao couldn’t resist easily, so he had to block the sledgehammer with both hands.
With a ‘Bang’, Mo Tianliao was shocked and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
“I’m not bullying you. You can ask your pet to help too.” Shi Di sneered as he said triumphantly.
From the high platform, the snow colored kitten darted out.
“Ka ka, Ka ka!” The black lion, who was trying to cut the vines, was frozen into a lump of ice. At the same time, a powerful palm rushed to Shi Di.
Shi Di instinctively felt the danger, he quickly turned around, blocked the rushing palm with his own, and was pushed far away due to the shockwaves.
The black lion broke away from the ice and stood with his master. Qingtong also held Mo Tianliao.
The white dress was gracefully flowing, and the long shawl was floating in the hunting wind. He didn’t look like a mortal. He looked like a relegated immortal who fell into the world by mistake from the Ninth Heaven.
Shi Di looked back at the platform, the kitten was gone, and then looked back at the eyes of his own demonic pet, he swallowed his saliva and said as he looked back at Qingtong: “His grandmother’s! No wonder you are so precious. You are so beautiful!”
