Devour

Chapter 239 Demonic Rebirth

"His combat power will continue to increase, and he will eventually surpass us. We can work together to kill the target." Ningxiang gave the order.

Shen Ya led the way, the spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon coming out of a cave, blocking, grabbing, stabbing, and sweeping to suppress the opponent and block the retreat routes in all directions.

Xing Jue retreated violently several feet away, and his sword turned into a stream of light that danced and circled, forming a gorgeous and dense sword light and blade shadow like a rain curtain. The sword energy was real and fake, looking for flaws and taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, making it impossible to defend against.

Yun Juan raised two blades that flashed with cold light, locked onto Shangguan Longcheng's neck and rotated in a circle. The seemingly simple attack was like a ghost approaching, but the sudden murderous intent in an instant was the most deadly.

Ruan Taoran and He Lipang were also not idle. They used their abilities to kill the wizards who rushed towards the pool of corpses one by one. For a while, corpses were scattered all over the ground near the altar.

Shangguan Longcheng was besieged by three people. He could block the guns and swords, but he was unable to parry the dim blade. He let out a scream and his head flew into the air, blood splattering.

Ningxiang jumped up and caught up with him, then hit his head hard with a stick, sending it into the pool of corpses. There was a "plop" sound, and red smoke rose everywhere.

"Good shot, my wife. Full score of 10." Cheng Bai could see clearly from a distance and felt relieved. "They cooperated very well. I don't need to help."

The six people joined forces to control the situation and were clearly sure to win.

Li Tong said, "That guy's Eternal Demon Body has reached a certain level. Ordinary methods cannot kill him."

The headless body of Shangguan Longcheng lying on the ground was seen emitting thick blood-red smoke with a hissing sound, which quickly dissipated. Suddenly, another Shangguan Longcheng jumped out from the seventh floor of the Undead Altar, his feet suspended in the air, and rushed down.

The blood threads around his body grew larger and larger, his skin became redder, and his physique became more sturdy, up to four meters tall. He laughed wildly and said, "The eternal divine body is immortal, how can mortals guess? If you kneel down obediently and become a sacrifice, you can die more easily."

Ningxiang was surprised and said, "The dead are resurrected, and there is something strange in the altar."

Shen Ya held up his spear to fight against Shangguan Longcheng who was charging at him. He was knocked back several steps in the blink of an eye. He was secretly shocked and said, "He has become much stronger again. He suppressed the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear with his bare hands. His skill is better than mine."

Yun Juan said: "You can't kill him with ordinary methods. You have to find his weakness."

Ruan Taoran looked towards the altar and shouted, "There must be something wrong inside. If we destroy the altar, we will definitely be able to kill this beast."

Shangguan Longcheng felt that he was at ease in the fight with Shen Ya, and sneered when he heard this: "Really? Go quickly."

Ningxiang's heart trembled, fearing that she would fall into a trap, so she did not dare to be careless and said in a deep voice: "Everyone surround him, I will try to keep a distance with my magic weapon."

After saying that, he raised the dragon bone staff and attacked like a whistling gale, heading towards the seventh floor of the Undead Altar.

The dragon bone staff was rarely matched on the Qiongqi Continent and its power was enough to knock down a building. But when it was about to hit the top of the altar, its speed slowed down for some reason and then it stopped in the air.

The twisted skeleton above the altar of the dead laughed loudly, the seventh layer of red light surged, and an invisible force grabbed the dragon bone staff and put it into the altar.

Ningxiang suddenly realized that she had lost control of the magic weapon and exclaimed, "The dragon bone staff... is gone. The altar contains incredible magical power. If you attack rashly, you will die."

Shangguan Longcheng laughed loudly and said, "The bones of the mirage dragon are also the body of divinity. They provide nutrients for my eternal divine body. Do you have any more?"

As he spoke, he knocked Shen Ya back with a punch and sent Xing Jue's Jingluan sword flying far away. He Lipang and Ruan Taoran could not get close to him, so only the Youguang Blade could gain the upper hand.

Yun Juan flew into the air and activated her magic weapon. A pair of dimly glowing blades displayed their power. The blade lights merged and separated, changing unpredictably. Suddenly, they chopped down Shangguan Longcheng's head, and in the short time before it hit the ground, they chopped it into dozens of pieces.

The corpse fell backwards, emitting red smoke.

However, the altar was filled with red light and the evil aura was even stronger. From the seventh floor, Shangguan Longcheng, who was much bigger and stronger, strode out.

Cheng Bai observed the battle situation in the distance and speculated: "There is a lot to the Dead Soul Altar. When Shangguan Longcheng entered the seventh floor, he deposited his true spirit in it. The altar contains the true eternal demon body, so it doesn't matter how many times the physical clones fighting outside die."

Li Tong said: "Your practice of deduction has had some effect. The Eternal Demon Body is like another kind of holy fetus. It has not yet reached that realm, but its function is somewhat close. As long as the Dead Altar is immortal, the Demon Body can be reborn endlessly. At the same time, it seizes the power of the surrounding creatures to strengthen itself. It becomes stronger every time it dies. The opponent becomes weaker and weaker without knowing it, and eventually perishes and becomes a sacrifice."

Cheng Bai asked: "How to crack it?"

Li Tong said: "It seems that the Eternal Demon Body has already condensed a rune inner elixir. If we really let it develop with six people as sacrifices, it might grow to the state of inaction or above. We must enter the seventh floor of the altar to kill the Eternal Demon Body, seize the inner elixir, and refine it with the Four Symbols Cauldron. Then use the Living Golden Pagoda to collapse the Dead Spirit Altar to completely eliminate future troubles."

Jing'er, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "Shangguan Longcheng's eternal divine body is fake. He is most afraid of water, pure water."

"Thank you for your advice." Cheng Bai glanced at Jing'er, as if thinking about something. He summoned the Smoker from the Shengjin Tower. Seeing that he had become stronger, he whispered, "Your skills have improved a lot. Get ready to show your skills."

"Yes, sir." The smoker transformed into the form of a Suanni beast, riding on the clouds and mist and standing in the air.

Cheng Bai grabbed the inheritance cube with one hand, turned over and rode on it. The smoker leaped up, stepped into the air, and ran towards the city lord's mansion.

……

Shen Ya and others joined forces to fight the enemy with all their strength, but the gap between them and Shangguan Longcheng became larger and larger. Facing the fierce attack, they could hardly withstand even a single move. No matter their special skills or weapons, they were forced to retreat again and again as soon as they came into contact, and they had almost no power to fight back.

Even Shen Ya, who was usually calm, was shocked. He felt that the opponent's strength was too strong to resist. Even though he was in the advantage of the slaughterhouse, the Fantasy Dragon Fire Fang Spear in his hand was knocked away by Shangguan Longcheng's punch.

Ningxiang arrived in time and unfolded a field vision like a light curtain, covering both the enemy and us.

Her ability to turn the world upside down is extremely unique. Wherever she goes, one side gains while another loses, the enemy becomes weaker and she becomes stronger, thus narrowing the gap a lot.

During this period of time, the six people received guidance and practice from Li Haotian, and their martial arts skills have improved to a certain extent.

Especially Ningxiang, with the help of a large number of elixirs given by Cheng Bai, made the most amazing progress. Even without weapons, her punches and kicks were swift and sharp. She fought with Shangguan Longcheng for dozens of moves and was still able to hold on, and the outcome was still unclear.

Yun Juan seized the opportunity to raise auspicious clouds and activated the dim light blade, doubling its power and slashing at the back of Shangguan Longcheng's neck.

Shangguan Longcheng suffered losses from this pair of magic weapons again and again, and shouted indignantly: "It's the same trick again. I've seen through you a long time ago." He forced Ningxiang away with his fists and feet, and then he turned around and struck out with his palm like a knife, daring to confront the sharp sword head-on.

The ghostly blade had been strengthened by gold and water, and was incomparable to the other treasures. It cut off half of Shangguan Longcheng's palm like cutting gold and jade, causing him to scream in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a huge flaming beast claw suddenly swooped down from the sky and suddenly pinned Shangguan Longcheng to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, holding him tightly. The blazing flames burned his skin and flesh, and he howled in pain.

Ningxiang hurriedly stepped back, raised her head and looked in the direction where the secret technique was being performed. Seeing Cheng Bai riding on the Smoker and rushing towards her, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The Smoker shouted, "My Lord, look at my Fire Cloud Claw. Now I can use it as I please and it will be invincible."

Cheng Bai urged King Suanni to descend from the clouds and said, "Don't kill him yet, or he will be resurrected again."

Seeing Shangguan Longcheng trying to struggle out from under the blazing claws, Yun Juan recalled the ghostly blade and asked with full alert, "How should we deal with him?"

Cheng Bai jumped off his mount and remembered Jing'er's words. He then drew some clean water from the dark river in the Blue Eye Maze on the fourth floor of the Shengjin Pagoda, scooped it with his palm, and slowly poured it on Shangguan Longcheng's face.

Suddenly, bursts of white smoke, different from the previous ones, rose up, and Shangguan Longcheng disappeared on the spot amid screams.

The Smoker dispersed the Fire Cloud Claw Secret Technique and asked in surprise, "He died just like that?"

Ningxiang said hurriedly: "He will rush out from the altar and become bigger and stronger. I'm afraid we can't resist him this time."

Shen Ya stared at the seventh level of the Undead Altar, but did not see the new Shangguan Longcheng coming out again.

There was silence all around, and most of the spell-casting wizards were dead. Only the huge skull face on the altar of the dead looked down at everyone ferociously.

Cheng Bai said: "You all stay here and wait for the opportunity. I will go in and take a look. We must destroy the demon's inner core in the altar to completely solve this problem."
