“In that case, the abnormality is coming from the depths of the Demon’s Den?” He Sanxiao pondered.
Su Jingxing ignored him.
No matter what they said now, there was no guarantee until they were there.
The group arrived at the underground space where the Demon’s Den was located at their fastest speed.
“Greetings, Martial Sage!”
The Supreme Elder of the Celestial Pole Sect, who had stayed behind, bowed excitedly when he saw Su Jingxing.
If Su Jingxing didn’t come soon, he would definitely leave.
It was getting impossible to stay in this underground space.
“Mm.”
Su Jingxing nodded slightly and walked to the edge of the Demon’s Den to look down at the situation inside.
The special structure on the bone armor mask allowed him to see through the scenes in the Demon’s Den. He kept moving down, down, and deeper into the depths.
Large amounts of demonic energy continued to surge out of the cave and charged at the array formation suppressing the entrance.
The array formation light screen was like a balloon that kept expanding.
“What dense demonic energy.” He Sanxiao’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “Brother Kong, there are definitely demonic creatures down here! Did any demonic creatures rush out previously?”
“No.” Wu Qifen rushed to answer. “The Celestial Pole Sect has guarded this place for nearly 2,000 years, and no demonic creatures have ever come out. Only, the last time, the demonic energy suddenly erupted and killed a few elders.”
“That’s right. The last time there was a sudden change in the demonic energy, it was the Martial Sage who helped us.”
“I see.” He Sanxiao smiled and nodded. “I’m afraid the situation this time is very different from last time. It’s even more troublesome.”
“I’m most worried…”
“Quiet!”
Su Jingxing raised his palm, signaling for everyone to shut up.
Wu Qifen, who wanted to say something, quickly closed his mouth. The others also held their breaths and remained silent.
He Sanxiao naturally cooperated. He took a few steps forward and looked down at the Demon’s Den.
The vision of a Martial Sage’s physical body could see relatively further, and their vision was special.
But it couldn’t compare to Su Jingxing’s Thunder Dragon Vision.
Under the unique vision of the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, the situation in the Demon’s Den was clearly visible.
Demonic energy!
Compared to last time, the Demon’s Den this time was filled with demonic energy.
The demonic energy surged like a tidal wave, rising from the depths.
Through the Thunder Dragon Vision, Su Jingxing went deep into the cave until he was about 3,000 to 5,000 meters deep. Finally, he “saw” the bottom and saw a large number of crawling demonic creatures climbing up the cave walls.
These demonic creatures looked identical on the outside. They had grayish-white bones and no flesh or blood. In their empty eye sockets, a small cluster of strange black-red flames was slowly dancing.
Skeleton monsters?
Bone Demons?
No, to be precise, they were Bone Demon Beasts.
This was because there were many types of such crawling skeleton creatures. There were humans and beasts, some were human skeletons, some were human bones for a body with beast heads, or the other way around.
In short, these skeleton demonic creatures were more like wild beasts, Bone Demon Beasts with demonic energy wrapped around their bodies!
“They’re coming up.”
Su Jingxing’s voice remained calm as he said, “Sect Master Wu, you guys go to the cave entrance to intercept them. I’ll be fine here.”
“Huh? What?” Wu Qifen was a little confused.
“Demonic creatures are coming up,” added He Sanxiao with a smile.
What?!
Wu Qifen, Wang Kaimen, and the other elders and Supreme Elders of the Celestial Pole Sect were shocked.
“There are really demonic creatures down there? They’re coming up?”
“That’s right.” He Sanxiao’s expression was solemn as he nodded. “I once encountered a demonic creature and memorized its aura. It’s even more domineering than demonic energy. A large number of demonic creatures have gathered below and are moving towards the entrance.”
After a pause, he looked up at Su Jingxing and asked, “Did Brother Kong see the demonic creatures directly?”
“Yes.” At this moment, Su Jingxing didn’t hide anything and quickly said, “Sect Master Wu, hurry up and set up at the entrance of the cave to guard the exit. There are many demonic creatures. If I miss any one, I’ll have to rely on you people to catch and destroy them.”
“Understood!”
Wu Qifen took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. He gathered everyone and left the underground space.
As Wang Kai and the other elders of the Celestial Pole Sect walked, they were all worried.
There really are demonic creatures!
There really are demonic creatures in this Demon’s Den!
They had kept guard for nearly 2,000 years, but not a single demonic creature had appeared before. Now, on top of making an appearance, they were appearing in large numbers.
Dongting Mountain was the ancestral property of the Celestial Pole Sect.
If it were to fall into the hands of the demonic creatures, how could they bring themselves to face their ancestors?
The only good news was that the demonic creatures had been discovered in advance.
With Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao, the two Martial Sages intercepting them from below, all they had to do was plug the gaps and guard the entrance. The pressure wasn’t too great.
Although they were nervous, uneasy, and worried, they could only place their hopes on Su Jingxing and He Sanxiao.
If the Martial Sages could not stop them, none of them could.
…
Wu Qifen, Wang Kai, and the others left to set up at the cave entrance.
Su Jingxing’s Thunder Dragon vision kept locking onto the trajectory of the Bone Demon Beasts and kept moving upwards.
Su Jingxing was naturally eager that He Sanxiao had stayed behind.
There were too many Bone Demon Beasts. At a depth of nearly 5,000 meters, half of the walls were already crawling with them.
And deep underground, Bone Demon Beasts were still pouring out.
Su Jingxing frowned unconsciously when he saw so many of them.
The Tiangang Demon Suppression Palm was still at the Advanced level.
After some thought, Su Jingxing took out the Martial Arts Practice Card and temporarily upgraded this martial art.
Now, he didn’t have much else but lots of Martial Arts Practice Cards.
All the strongholds that the Xia Family had hidden in various parts of the Yu Nation were destroyed.
He extracted the Martial Arts Practice Card from nearly half of the barbarians he killed.
Although the practice times of the Martial Arts Practice Cards ranged from only half a year to 11 years, most of the practice times weren’t long.
But there were too many of them!
If one was not enough, he would unlock the second. If the second was not enough, he would unlock the third.
Just like that, Su Jingxing’s main body used the Martial Arts Practice Cards to cultivate the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand. He used 50 years of practice time to raise this soul skill to the Peak of Perfection.
The further one progressed in his soul skill, the harder it became to improve.
After 50 years of practice, he had only reached the Peak of Perfection.
If it weren’t for the fact that the closest Bone Demon Beast had already arrived before him, Su Jingxing would definitely continue to unlock the Martial Arts Practice Cards and raise the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand to Perfection.
Now?
Roar!
A hoarse roar that broke the wind suddenly exploded.
A grayish-white figure jumped out of the cave and broke the array formation.
The Bone Demon Beast stopped crawling the remaining ten odd meters and directly jumped out.
However, what awaited it was a palm imprint.
Su Jingxing was still adapting to the improved Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand. He Sanxiao struck out and struck the two-meter-tall Bone Demon Beast with his palm, breaking it into pieces. Bones fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
In less than a second, the pile of bones on the ground quickly reassembled with the sound of bones rubbing together.
“It can be reconstructed?”
He Sanxiao chuckled. He raised his hand and struck out with another palm strike, hitting the Bone Demon Beast that wanted to dodge but was too late.
With a dull thud, the entire skeleton broke apart again. This time, it dispersed even more thoroughly, shattering into pieces that scattered on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The pieces of bone shifted as if they were trying to reassemble themselves.
But in the end, they were too small and lost the ability to regenerate.
The Bone Demon Beast was not dead, but it could not be reconstructed.
This was good news among the bad news.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
With one Bone Demon Beast dealt with, more of them jumped out one after another from the Demon’s Den.
This time, what greeted them was Su Jingxing using the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
The snow-white imprint spread out and covered the entire Devil’s Den, shattering every beast into pieces as soon as it jumped out.
The black demonic energy also quickly melted under the white light.
“This is…”
When He Sanxiao saw this, his eyes lit up. “Brother Kong, is this soul skill specially created to target Ancient Demons?”
True energy and true essence could only resist the demonic energy and not dissolve it.
The method to refine demonic energy had been lost for more than a thousand years.
How could He Sanxiao not know about this?
However, Su Jingxing’s move could dissolve the demonic energy. It was really surprising.
“Pretty much that.”
Su Jingxing raised his hand again and slapped at the Devil’s Den, shattering a few Bone Demon Beasts that had crawled out.
“This is too inefficient.”
“I’ll intercept them below!”
With that, Su Jingxing jumped into the den…
