Chapter 134 My Immortal Life is Missing (8)
The demon fought and retreated, showing no panic even after Gu Shijiu tore off a large chunk of its flesh, retreating in a very rhythmic manner.
Gu Shijiu didn't see anything, but Ye Ling knew in her heart that there must be a trap ahead.
Seeing Gu Shijiu calmly chasing after him, she didn't say anything to remind her.
They chased the demon into a cave on a desolate mountain. The demon slipped inside, and Gu Shijiu followed.
As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by a large group of demons.
They surged toward the two like a tide, and Gu Shijiu was overjoyed to see this.
What's the difference between this and a buffet?
She was incredibly fast; she would finish one corpse, discard it, and move on to the next.
Ye Ling followed behind her, trying to sense the trajectory of Gu Shijiu's spiritual power.
However, like the big shots of the Xuanqing Sect, they couldn't sense anything.
Gu Shijiu's golden core was indeed shattered, showing no signs of recovery, so where did the spiritual power come from?
Ye Lingjiao shouted, and the long sword in her hand suddenly grew larger, transforming into a giant sword tens of feet long.
She gripped the greatsword with both hands and slashed fiercely at the horde of demons.
Although her strength was limited, with Gu Shijiu drawing fire in front, she could get some experience.
Countless demons died tragically at Gu Shijiu's hands, and gradually, a trace of fear appeared in the eyes of some of them.
They began to retreat.
After Gu Shijiu and the others had digested the energy in their bodies, they slowly followed.
The cave was filled with a pungent odor, the scent of demons.
As they walked deeper into the area, Gu Shijiu and Ye Ling stopped in front of the enormous altar.
Next to the altar is the center of the seal, which appears to have been jointly created by the demons here, who used the altar to summon monsters to fight against the seal.
On the altar, some strange runes were flashing.
Gu Shijiu approached the altar and carefully examined the runes, but he couldn't understand them at all.
One can only sense an evil power contained within the runes, which seems to originate from the same source as that used by demons.
"How do we break this seal?" Gu Shijiu had only seen the seal in the Demon Tower of the Xuanqing Sect.
Each time she was sent in, the elders would open the door themselves, as she had never learned these complicated things.
Ye Ling suffered some minor injuries, but was in good condition: "Either we can crack it based on the logic of the runes' operation, or we can destroy it by force."
Gu Shijiu summoned his spiked club and slammed it down on the altar.
The altar trembled violently under the impact of the immense force, and the runes began to flicker erratically.
Ye Ling's right eye twitched. What kind of weapon was this? She had never seen the other party use it before.
Moreover, even now, she hadn't sensed a single fluctuation of spiritual energy from Gu Shijiu.
Could such a powerful altar be destroyed by brute force alone?
Just as Gu Shijiu was about to continue his efforts to destroy the altar, a sinister laugh suddenly came from inside the cave.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness of the cave.
The shadowy figure was shrouded in black mist, obscuring its face.
Gu Shijiu turned to Ye Ling and asked, "What is this thing again?"
Ye Ling didn't recognize him either, but the demonic energy emanating from him told her that this demon was not to be trifled with.
She was a little scared.
The dark figure spoke in a hoarse voice: "Cultivator, you shouldn't have come here and ruined my plans."
Gu Shijiu frowned and covered her nose: "You stink! What's wrong with you people? You don't brush your teeth or take a bath."
The dark figure was enraged: "You brat, how dare you humiliate me like this!"
With a sudden wave of its hand, a powerful surge of black demonic energy swept towards Gu Shijiu and Ye Ling.
Ye Ling quickly activated her spiritual energy shield to defend herself, but the black demonic energy was so powerful that the shield cracked as soon as it came into contact with it.
Ye Ling was greatly alarmed. She knew that the shadowy figure was far stronger than herself.
If Gu Shijiu hadn't taken the brunt of the attacks, she might have instantly turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
Ye Ling gritted her teeth, quickly formed hand seals, and unleashed Lingjian Peak's strongest technique—the Nine Heavens Sword Art.
A sharp sword intent instantly filled the cave.
Ye Ling flicked her wrist, and the longsword was drawn from its sheath, the blade humming as she soared into the sky like a phantom.
In mid-air, she gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, swung it forcefully, and a dazzling sword light shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun.
The sword light contained boundless sharpness, tearing the air apart wherever it passed, emitting a piercing whistling sound.
Upon seeing this, the dark figure let out a cold laugh and tore apart the sword lights with a wave of his hands.
The sword energy and demonic energy collided, creating a deafening explosion.
Rocks fell from the walls, and the entire cave shook violently.
The impact of the explosion sent Ye Ling flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
The dark figure seemed unaffected; the attack had no effect on it whatsoever.
Ye Ling struggled to get up from the ground. She looked at the dark figure, somewhat frightened.
"You can leave now." Gu Shijiu told her to leave. These powers were useless to her, but seemed to have a great destructive effect on the local cultivators.
Ye Ling shook her head and refused: "If my sister can do it, so can I."
"Your strength is still a bit lacking; staying here might be dangerous," Gu Shijiu explained, a statement she made for the first time.
Ye Ling shook her head again. If she left now, wouldn't that confirm that she was even worse than a cultivator whose Golden Core had shattered?
Besides, she also has the sword energy given to her by her master.
Gu Shijiu didn't understand her awkward thoughts, and seeing that she couldn't persuade her, she stopped trying.
Ye Ling missed her first attack and knew she was no match for him, so she hid to the side and watched Gu Shijiu and the shadowy figure exchange blows.
She looked at it from all angles, but couldn't figure it out.
Her cousin, whose personality had drastically changed, was clearly fighting against the demons with only her physical body, yet she was not at a disadvantage at all, and from time to time she could even tear off a piece of energy from the shadowy figure.
The energy is automatically absorbed when it reaches Gu Shijiu's hands, leaving no trace.
Ye Ling was completely focused on watching the battle and was unaware of the approaching danger.
Suddenly, a powerful and malevolent aura enveloped them.
Ye Ling was startled. Before she could react, countless demons resembling the black shadows sprang out from the surrounding shadows.
At the critical moment, Gu Shijiu was overwhelmed by the shadowy figure, who was about to be beaten to death by the spiked club.
The shadowy figure suddenly gestured for her to look in the other direction: "If you don't go save them, your companion is going to die."
Out of the corner of Gu Shijiu's eye, he saw Ye Ling surrounded by a group of miniature black shadows.
She kept swinging her long sword, but to no avail.
A demon stretched out its claw and slapped her hard.
Ye Ling quickly dodged to the side, but was still shaken by the powerful force, causing her blood and qi to surge.
Before she could even stand firmly, more demons pounced on her.
Some of them spewed poisonous mist, while others brandished sharp claws.
Ye Ling tried her best to resist, but under the attack of numerous demons, she was soon in dire straits.
The demons let out eerie laughter, attempting to deliver the final blow...
