In the middle of the day, the sun was high in the sky, the dazzling sunlight shining on the earth.
The air in the path of the Demon Subduing Mountain was somewhat scorching, but this little bit of temperature was nothing to cultivators.
On the path of the Demon Subduing Mountain, a figure was rapidly shuttling through. He wore a silver Frostflame Robe, and his short hair fluttered in the wind.
Due to the problem of his own speed, the strong wind blew on his body, causing his body to release whooshing sounds. It actually became a sound on the path of the Demon Subduing Mountain.
Suddenly, Su Yi stopped. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was somewhat solemn. In his eyes, a tiger appeared to block his way.
It was precisely the demon beast on the path of the Demon Subduing Mountain. Although his heart had long been prepared, when he saw the attributes of this demon beast blocking his way, Su Yi’s expression was still solemn.
[Demonic beast: Fierce Wind Tiger]
[Bloodline: Normal (demonic qi erosion)]
[Realm: Middle stage of foundation establishment]
The Fierce Wind Tiger had black and white stripes on its body. A faint black qi rose from its body. Its eyes were blood-red, but there was no pain. The aura on its body was extremely chaotic.
In its bloody mouth, saliva kept falling uncontrollably. After seeing Su Yi, the chaotic aura on its body became even more intense.
“Eh?”
Su Yi was surprised by the additional explanation on the demon beast’s bloodline.
“Demonic qi erosion? What is this thing?”
He had never had any knowledge about demons. Perhaps only the ancient clans of the great desolate region had some records of demons.
For example, the Dan clan might have records of this.
Although Su Yi was not sure what the erosion of demonic qi was like, he was still on high alert.
Not mentioning what the erosion of demonic qi was, just the abnormality of this demon beast was enough to make him pay attention. Since when did the demon beasts become like this on the Demon Subduing Mountain?
Moreover, along the way, he rarely heard the roars of other demon beasts. Could it be that other cultivators had come to this mountain path to exterminate them?
Although he had all sorts of doubts in his heart, the demon beast that had suddenly appeared in early summer would not give him time to think.
The Fierce Wind Tiger with demonic qi erosion let out a low roar. It retreated with great force and pounced towards Su Yi like a wild beast.
However, just as it leaped into the air, a cold light pierced through its body, and a bloody mist followed.
As if its life force had been drained, the demon beast regained its consciousness. In the air, its originally blood-red eyes became clear. The rising black qi on its body also disappeared completely at this moment, as if it had regained its consciousness.
Its huge eyes looked at Su Yi. However, in its eyes, Su Yi did not see any hatred or fear. Instead, it was a kind of relief?
That’s right. From the moment the demon beast jumped up and was killed by his sword finger, he could feel this relief from the demon beast’s eyes.
After the Fierce Wind Tiger was killed by Su Yi with one finger, its final expression was actually one of relief. There was even some gratitude in its gaze when it looked at Su Yi.
“What exactly is going on?”
He quietly looked at the Fierce Wind Tiger that had already turned into a corpse, and his mind sank into deep thought.
From the moment the Fierce Wind Tiger pounced on him, he could feel that this demon beast’s strength was definitely above the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage. Although it was not at the late stage of the foundation establishment stage, compared to human cultivators, it was at least at the sixth stage of the foundation establishment stage.
However, the strength of the sixth stage of the foundation establishment stage did not use spiritual power to attack. Instead, it relied on its body to attack as if it was instinctive. This mystery was getting deeper and deeper.
Unfortunately, Su Yi did not have any understanding about the concept of the demons. Although he knew it might be related to the erosion of the demonic energy, what exactly was it?
Without any clue, he did not even collect the materials for the Fierce Wind Tiger. His feet were moving, and his body was quickly searching for the distant mountain path.
One day, these mysteries would come to light.
…
At the same time, on a path in the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
A beautiful figure was surrounded by a group of Fierce Wind Tigers with black smoke coming out of their bodies.
This beautiful figure was wearing a green robe and her ice-cold true essence was constantly circulating. She was standing in the middle of the Fierce Wind Tigers with a long sword in her hand.
The ground was covered in fresh red blood. Not far away from her, there were a few corpses of demon beasts.
This beautiful figure was Li Mengxi. At this moment, her beautiful face was ice-cold, and her eyes were looking at the Fierce Wind Tigers surrounding her with a serious expression.
“Damn it, how could the strength of these demon beasts have increased so much!”
Her gaze turned around, constantly paying attention to her surroundings. The long sword in her hand suddenly flashed with a cold light, preventing her surroundings from being ambushed by the demon beasts.
Li Mengxi had accepted a mission in her immortal sect’s void realm, which was to collect a fluorescent herb that was more than a hundred years old in the great desolate region.
At that time, her face turned black. A hundred-year-old herb? Where was she going to find it?
However, the immortal sect points given by this mission were very generous, so she still accepted it.
After that, she searched for nearly two days’ worth of information before she received the news that the fluorescent herb was produced in the Forest of Fireflies.
For this, she could only choose to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain to the Forest of Fireflies to try her luck and see if she could find a hundred-year-old fluorescent herb.
However, who would have thought that after entering the Demon Subduing Mountain range for just a day, she would be chased by this group of crazy demon beasts.
It was not that her strength could not deal with them, it was just that wave after wave, who could?
At this moment, Li Mengxi’s beautiful face was as cold as ice as she panted. She was truly angry.
She turned the longsword in her hand and raised it in front of her. Her true essence began to surge, and thick black hair fluttered behind her.
With a soft shout, her true essence started to gather toward the sword in her hand.
“Frost, Sword Dance!”
A cold power spread out from her body, and the magic weapon in her hand shone with a cold light. Waves of frost spread out in the space around her.
“Ha!”
With a wave of her hand, that beautiful figure turned into a snow-white shadow, flying quickly among the demon beasts.
One sword, one flash of frost, one dance, one bloody scar.
Countless icy sword lights interweaved in the midst of the demon beasts, but not a single drop of blood flew out.
In Li Mengxi’s sword dance, the demon beast’s body that had been slashed by her did not even have the time to spurt out fresh blood before it was completely frozen by the cold air on the sword blade.
The sword dance stopped, and the human figure landed gently. Affected by the icy cold air, the surrounding ground became a layer of frost. At this moment, at a glance, Li Mengxi really looked like the frost fairy.
However, after being harassed by demon beasts for a day, she was a bit restless. Among the demon beasts, she had missed one behind her.
Roar!
A low roar sounded out, and a huge gale tiger jumped up high, pouncing toward Li Mengxi with its wild and blood-red eyes.
“Oh no!”
When she heard the beast roar, she knew something was wrong. At this moment, she was in a retracting state, and she could not block at all, let alone fight back.
She gritted her teeth slightly, trying to forcefully interrupt the retracting process and dodge this attack. Even if this would cause her true essence to flow backward and hurt her, it was still better than falling into a tiger’s mouth.
Just as she was about to reverse her true essence, a cold light shot out from the distance.
