Chapter 1017: Joining forces to slay the demon

The black-scaled demon snake opened its bloody mouth and spewed a black flame towards everyone.

The flame was as black as ink, emitting a chilling cold aura. Wherever it passed, all grass and trees were destroyed and the rocks were melted.

Everyone's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect that the black fire spewed out by this black-scaled demon snake was much stronger than that of its partner. With just one move, it put them in danger.

"We can't let it go on like this!"

At the critical moment, Lin Muzhi looked at his fellow disciples whose spiritual energy had been exhausted, and once again took on the responsibility of the Son of God.

He took a deep breath and poured all his spiritual power into the flaming sword. The flame on the sword instantly became hotter and brighter.

"Burning Sky Style!"

Lin Muzhi roared and swung his sword towards the black flames.

The flaming sword collided with the black flames, making a deafening roar.

For a moment, the entire space seemed to be illuminated by flames, with black flames and red-flaming long swords intertwined together to form a thrilling picture.

After a fierce collision, the black flames were finally broken by Lin Muzhi's Burning Heaven and Earth Slash and dissipated into the air.

However, Lin Muzhi also paid a huge price. His face was as pale as paper, and he had obviously exhausted all his spiritual power.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Seeing Lin Muzhi fall to the ground seriously injured, everyone cried out in surprise.

"Don't worry about me. This beast has been injured by me and can't attack again in a short time. You guys should seize the opportunity to chase him and buy time for Zhou Yiqiao!"

Lin Muzhi struggled to sit up, pointing at the black-scaled snake that was flicking its tongue and shouting loudly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Muzhi's words immediately made the people around him react, and they quickly launched a new round of attacks on the black-scaled snake.

"Roar!"

The black-scaled snake hissed in pain, twisting its huge body and swinging it around constantly, trying to break free from the restraints, but its movements were restricted because its body was too huge.

Under the continuous attacks of the crowd, its scales were shattered one by one, revealing the blood-red muscles inside, which looked shocking.

However, even though it was seriously injured, the Ink Scale Demon Snake still did not give up resistance. It opened its big mouth and spewed out a black flame again, but this time, the power of the flame was obviously weakened a lot.

"Don't give it a chance to breathe, attack quickly!"

When Lin Muzhi saw this scene, he shouted anxiously.

"give it to me!"

Zhou Yiqiao, standing in the middle of the valley, finally took action.

He clasped his hands together, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner slowly rose above his head.

As he muttered to himself, the light on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner became brighter and brighter, and the wailing cries of countless wronged souls echoed throughout the valley.

Tianxuan Sect is a famous and upright sect, how could its disciples have ever seen such a scene?

At this moment, except for Lin Muzhi, everyone was shocked by the methods Zhou Yiqiao used. Their faces turned pale, as if Zhou Yiqiao's methods were three times more terrifying than the terrifying black-scaled demon snake outside the valley.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't care about the opinions of the Tianxuan Sect disciples.

He leaned forward, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of everyone, with his hands raised above his head, shouting loudly.

"In my name, I summon your resentful spirits to help me destroy the monster!"

Zhou Yiqiao's voice was low and strange, as if it came from the Netherworld, sending chills down one's spine.

As his spell fell, countless black air suddenly burst out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. These black air condensed into hideous ghosts, which roared and screamed, and poured into Zhou Yiqiao's body.

In an instant, Zhou Yiqiao's body swelled up rapidly like a balloon, with black air surrounding him, as if a demon had descended to the earth.

Zhou Yiqiao stomped the ground hard with his right foot, and his whole figure suddenly flew into the air, shooting towards the black-scaled snake like an arrow, with fists and palms coming out at the same time.

The palm wind carried a strong aura of death, and each move could carry hundreds of evil spirits in the banners. For a moment, the sky above the valley was filled with ghostly shadows surrounding the black-scaled demon snake, and shrill cries came one after another, which was terrifying.

Faced with Zhou Yiqiao's horrifying attack, the black-scaled demon snake let out a painful roar. Although the black fire spewed out again, it was no longer able to withstand the power of the resentful souls that were coming from the sky.

The resentful souls and black fire intertwined and collided in the air, erupting into even more intense flames and energy, but under the impact of this energy, the ink-scaled demon snake obviously could no longer hold on.

Its scales began to fall off, and its body gradually became twisted and it let out a shrill roar.

"Kill it!"

Seeing this, Lin Muzhi struggled to stand up. Even though he was exhausted, he still squeezed out the last bit of spiritual power in his body and chopped bravely with the red flaming sword.

The disciples of Tianxuan Sect also gritted their teeth and persisted, using various methods to attack the black-scaled demon snake.

The Ink Scale Demon Snake was already at the end of its strength and could not withstand the joint attack of so many people. With the combined efforts of everyone, its body was torn into countless pieces, and black blood spilled all over the valley.

"Finally...killed this evil creature."

Lin Muzhi leaned his long sword on the ground, panting and looking at the battlefield, his eyes full of fatigue and relief.

Zhou Yiqiao slowly landed on the ground. The black air around his body gradually dissipated. His face was as pale as paper, much uglier than Lin Muzhi's before.

This move absorbs all the evil souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner into the body at once, and is used to increase combat power in a short period of time. The last time Zhou Yiqiao used this move was in the Jindan realm, when he had a fierce battle with Tuoba Zhi in the competition of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

This move is extremely risky. After defeating Tuoba Zhi that year, Zhou Yiqiao had kept this method hidden until today when he had no choice but to use it again.

Although Zhou Yiqiao's current strength is incomparable to what he was in the Jindan realm back then, the level and number of the evil souls in the Wanhun Banner have also made a qualitative leap. Absorbing all these evil souls into the body at once is still a huge burden for Zhou Yiqiao.

At this moment, he only felt an indescribable feeling of fatigue, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

"cough!"

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but cough lightly a few times, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"But what's wrong with that?"

Seeing this, Lin Muzhi, who was standing by, didn't care about being exhausted, and limped to Zhou Yiqiao's side. After supporting Zhou Yiqiao, he asked with concern.

Lin Muzhi is a simple person. Before this battle, he always regarded Zhou Yiqiao as a burden that would bring disaster.

However, at this moment, after he saw Zhou Yiqiao single-handedly deal a fatal blow to the half-step refining virtual realm black-scaled snake, he began to admire him and wanted to win him over.

"It's okay, it's just that my spiritual power is exhausted and my meridians are a little damaged."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head slightly and said lightly.

"I have some pills here. If you don't mind, Brother Zhou, you can take them first."

As Lin Muzhi spoke, he took out an exquisite jade bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at the pill and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But after seeing Lin Muzhi's serious expression, he didn't act pretentiously. He directly took the pill, put it in his mouth, and refined it on the spot.
