Chapter 0427: Flying Monsters Everywhere
Not long after Mu Xingqiu sent out the lightning, the first group of demon soldiers arrived. They were a group of flying demons. Their target was not the four Yishi Lords, but Yu Wang Fedong.
The news of Yaoyun's fiasco had spread, so the flying demons were not careless at all. In just three days after King Yu was captured, more than 5,000 demon soldiers gathered from all directions. They belonged to different tribes, but they all supported Yin. The two major families, Yu and Black Phoenix, were kings. King Yu was captured, which aroused the indignation of all the winged flying monsters.
This was a grand gathering of wings. Wings of all kinds and sizes blocked the sun, as if layers of dark clouds filled the sky. Sharp screams came one after another. If Ouyang Hao hadn't explained, the Taoist priests would never have done it. I don’t know what these flying demons are talking about.
"These flying monsters... demand... that we release the Feather King." The flying monsters' language was more difficult to understand than ordinary beast monsters, and Ouyang Hao had more difficulty listening.
"What do they want if they don't let go?" Xin Youtao kept a close eye on King Yu. There were so many demon soldiers, which made him understand that the more successful the plan to attract the main force of demon soldiers was, the more they would be in danger, and they must keep a close eye on them. Seize every opportunity to protect yourself, King Yu is one of them.
Ouyang Hao looked confused. He could only guess the simple language of Fei Yao, but he couldn't understand it if it was more complicated.
Yin Buchen came over and said, "Ask me, I know that the Iron-backed Dragon is one of the three major families of flying demons. I have learned this kind of chattering language since I was a child. Well... let me listen carefully. They said that if we don't release King Yu is about to launch a strong attack. They are not afraid of death. Even if the entire army is destroyed, they will rescue King Yu..."
When he said "we", King Yu snorted. The more he listened, the more something was wrong, so he had to interrupt, "That's nonsense, you don't understand it at all. The iron-spine dragon learns the sea monster language, and it's like us." There is no similarity between the flying demons at all." King Yu took a deep breath, but he had to bow to the Taoist priest, "They are going to send a flying demon to negotiate, please send one of you too."
"Tell them that I accept negotiations." Mu Xingqiu said.
King Yu screamed, and the four humans and the four Yishijun couldn't understand what he was saying. The group of monsters in the sky became quiet, and a silver feather came out from the crowd, talking to King Yu in the air. Look at his expression. It seemed like they were arguing.
Ouyang Hao tried hard to listen, his face changed slightly, "They don't seem to be talking about negotiation."
Xin Youtao moved quickly, put a paper talisman on King Yu's mouth, and then said loudly: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, King Yu will die..."
The threat was useless. The silver feather in the air turned and flew back to the demon group. The sky that was originally covered by a large number of wings suddenly became as dark as the night.
"Black Phoenix!" Yin Buchen shouted in surprise, "Did he come in person? It is said that there is only one black phoenix left in the world. I have always wanted to bite him, but I didn't get the chance..."
"Idiot, Black Phoenix will not come to the battlefield in person. This is his twin shadow technique." Qi Dan cast a contemptuous look at Yin Buchen, "After my guidance, Black Phoenix has become stronger over the years."
"Twin shadows are obviously magic arts that have been around for a long time, what does it have to do with you?" Hao Wangu joined in the argument, "My magic of transforming demons is more useful. Black Phoenix once specially sent a little demon to ask me for advice..."
"He just asked if the demon pill was enough. Is this called asking for advice?" Hao Changqing exposed his brother's background in public.
They kept fighting, and the Taoist priests had already begun to fight back. Mu Xingqiu threw out lightning and faced a group of dark clouds that were descending sharply. He had seen the Black Phoenix's twin shadow technique from a distance in Duanliu City. Sure enough to defeat it, Xin Youtao and Shen Ji cast spells to protect him from the demon soldiers' sneak attack. Ouyang Hao held the golden dragon tightly in his hand and stared at Yu Wang whose mouth was sealed.
Yu Wang Fedong's face was full of anger. He was still bound by the rope of freedom. He just wanted to die quickly and was unwilling to endure the humiliation of being captured.
The thought lightning split into seven strips high in the sky, one facing the dark clouds, and six strips woven into a net to swallow the dark clouds whole. In Duanliu City, Shen Jixian, the leader of Pangshan Five Elements Division, used similar tactics to defeat the Black Phoenix Twins, and Mu Xingqiu followed suit.
The dark cloud turned into a giant bird and suddenly turned upwards, trailing dozens of lightning bolts behind it and hurling them towards the Taoist priest's lightning net.
The two kinds of lightning were intertwined, regardless of each other, and spread quickly in all directions. Soon it covered half of the sky, like an inverted red ocean, and like thousands of huge red snakes entangled together and devouring each other.
The four Yishi Lords were stunned by such a scene. Although they specialized in studying all kinds of advanced magic, unfortunately they were not strong enough and could not use the magic they had worked so hard to discover. They could only learn from other magic. Feel the power in your clan.
"Black Phoenix's demon elixir is at least twice as strong as it was a few years ago. Isn't this my credit?" Qi Dan shouted, extremely excited.
"Look, the twin shadows are clearer than before. Ha, Black Phoenix used the magic of demon transformation on the twin shadows. It's really smart!" Hao Wangu stared at the huge black bird behind the lightning, even more excited.
Yin Buchen and Hao Changqing couldn't find anything to boast about in Black Phoenix, so they had no choice but to destroy it.
"The twin shadow is the twin shadow. It is not the real body of the Black Phoenix. It is just transformed by magic. There is no demon elixir at all. Mu Xingqiu, look for its eyes. If the eyes are destroyed, the black phoenix will be able to control the twin shadow." Yin Buchen He swayed left and right, but his eyes could not penetrate the lightning in the sky. He could only see the outline of the black bird and could not point out where the eyes were.
"The darkest place, the place with the strongest demonic aura, is the eyes of the Black Phoenix twins." Hao Changqing couldn't see it either, but he could give an idea.
Mu Xingqiu looked with his heavenly eyes and saw two particularly bright black spots in the huge black bird. A bolt of lightning struck and hit the twin shadows' eyes like a whip.
The piercing scream was fleeting, and the twin shadows and the lightning they threw disappeared. A black feather fell and turned into ashes as soon as it touched the mind lightning.
The sky was brighter, but the defeat of the twin shadows did not mean the retreat of the flying monsters. In fact, taking advantage of the previous battle, they greatly reduced their altitude and were only a few hundred feet away from the enemies on the ground. Facing the lightning net, they refused to retreat half a step. Just like what Yin Buchen had made up before, they were ready to charge regardless of their lives.
Like most spells, mind lightning cannot have both range and strength at the same time. The lightning net can block and kill many small monsters, but it will let those big monsters slip through the net. Mu Xingqiu immediately changed his tactics and the lightning became seven again, three flying in the air and four sticking to the ground, attacking only those monster soldiers flying in the front.
This was an extremely tense battle. Most flying monsters could not withstand the lightning strike, but relying on their large numbers, they were getting closer and closer. Mu Xingqiu focused all his attention and looked around, not daring to relax at all. Xin Youtao and Shen Ji also joined the battle, specifically sniping the monster soldiers that Mu Xingqiu missed.
"Too many! They really don't even want to die!" Xin Youtao shouted loudly, feeling more and more powerless. The talismans were all written by him, and the grade was only medium. Hitting most of the monster soldiers could only slow down their speed.
Yu Wang had a burst of strength and actually broke free from the paper talisman on his mouth, "The flying monsters are with the Silver Feather Family, you guys kill me quickly!"
If even the first wave of monster soldiers cannot be repelled, the so-called attraction of the main force of the monster soldiers is a big joke. Mu Xingqiu often had sudden ideas during the battle. This was not recklessness or quick wit, but an instinct, just like those swimming masters who are not good at speaking. They can't explain clearly in advance and have to get into the water to swim upstream flexibly.
Mu Xingqiu flew into the sky, as fast as lightning. In the eyes of countless people, he was pulled up by the lightning he had emitted.
"Mu Xingqiu!" Xin Youtao screamed in horror, not understanding what he was going to do. Before he finished speaking, Mu Xingqiu's figure had disappeared in the group of monsters, and only the crisscrossing lightning proved that he was still alive.
"What kind of magic is this? Don't the Taoists want to be as far away as possible? He must not die, the law of the Demon Lord is still in his mind." Yin Buchen was confused and anxious. He looked around in the air and suddenly pointed, "There!"
Mu Xingqiu returned to the sight of several people on the ground. His right hand was still casting lightning, but his left hand was holding a flying monster. Mu Xingqiu threw the flying monster on the ground and rose into the monster group again.
"A silver feather, who are you?" The characteristics of the Silver Feather family are very obvious, and the silver-white wings are shining. Yin Buchen recognized it immediately, but he didn't know which one of the eight brothers who "traveled east, west, north, south and up and down" he was.
Before this "Fana" could speak, Shen Ji had already thrown out the free rope and tied him up tightly.
"Fifth brother, you..." Yu Wang exclaimed.
"You are Fashang." Yin Buchen guessed it.
At this moment, the one who really deserves the eight words "east, south, west, north, up and down" is Mu Xingqiu. He flies up and down in the air, and moves back and forth among the monsters. His figure is erratic, and only lightning outlines his trajectory. Although there are many flying monsters, none of them can stop him for a moment. He just keeps performing magic and throwing weapons. Mu Xingqiu didn't completely dodge, but he was not shot down either.
Among the eight brothers of Yinyu, Fabei died in Duanliu City, Fadong was captured, and the remaining six monsters came to rescue their brothers this time, but in a moment, they were all thrown to the ground by Mu Xingqiu. Shen Ji didn't have so many free ropes, so Xin Youtao had to tie up the two monsters with heavy talismans.
In just a moment, the flying monsters had compressed the encirclement to a very small range. The sharp monster sounds and a large number of weapons kept hitting the Taoists' shields, and they would soon be able to break them.
Mu Xingqiu fell back to the ground, and seven lightning bolts pointed at the Fa brothers respectively, and said to King Yu: "Are you willing to let the Silver Feather Family be extinct?"
There are not many members in the Silver Feather Family, especially the Fa brothers, whose bloodline is the purest and strength is the strongest. If they all die here, the entire family is likely to be devastated.
King Yu Fa Dongning refused to surrender because he still had six brothers, but now he was forced into a desperate situation. He hesitated for a moment and screamed again.
The flying monsters that had already approached stopped attacking and looked at each other, their expressions were a little confused.
"Let go of my six brothers, and the flying monsters will retreat." King Yu said hatefully in human language.
"You have to help us fight against Qi Wushang." Xin Youtao found this was an opportunity to negotiate terms.
"Impossible. Within ten days, the flying monsters will not attack you again, nor will they chase the escaped human slaves. That's it. If you are not satisfied, just kill the seven of us brothers together."
"Okay."
Mu Xingqiu agreed too quickly. Xin Youtao gave him a warning look, but Mu Xingqiu didn't want to get entangled in this matter, and he believed in the flying monsters, "Let them go."
Shen Ji took back the free rope, and Xin Youtao hesitated for a while before destroying the binding talisman.
The six monsters of the Fa family flew up immediately, fearing that humans would change their minds. They screamed at their brothers several times in the air and really retreated with the flying monsters.
"This Taoist's fighting style is very unusual." Qi Dan said.
"He was hit by dozens of moves, but he was fine. His physique is extraordinary." Hao Wangu and Hao Changqing looked at each other.
"You should learn sorcery." Yin Buchen expressed the common thoughts of the four Yishijuns, "We can study the true method of the Demon Lord together!"
