Chapter 243: Escape (Part 3)

After the monk finished speaking, he did not move at all, still holding the crystal red wood rosary, muttering something in his mouth, and a red light emitting from his body, slightly purple-gold, like water ripples, radiating out in circles, and dissipating into the air after leaving the tree.

If someone passes by Futu Mountain, they will see such a strange scene: the crown of a big tree on the top of the mountain covers the entire mountain, and the inside of the crown is like a gem, with red light flashing across the mountain, rippling the mountain, originally the grass and trees on the mountain are all fiery red, only this big tree is green, like a little green in the red, with a different taste, but now even that little green has turned fiery red, and the whole mountain seems to be burning.

However, Futu Mountain is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains that are tens of thousands of miles long. Even if this small mound of earth really burns, it will not cause any climate change. Futu Mountain is surrounded by poor mountains and bad waters, poisonous miasma, and no magical medicine or rare treasures. Even people who practice Taoism will not live here, let alone ordinary people. Therefore, this strange scenery has not been discovered by anyone. Moreover, the red light disappears into the air as soon as it leaves Futu Mountain, and does not rush into the sky, which makes it even less noticeable. It cannot be seen with the naked eye within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The enchanting red light led Zhou Qing through the world inside the gourd, looking for every place where the true spirit could hide. The red light was really amazing, and it found clues. After an hour, Zhou Qing's consciousness entered a strange place, as if it was another world. The sky and the earth were vast and boundless. There were ten suns in the sky, and golden flames were sprayed down. In an instant, the ocean dried up, the rocks and plants burned to ashes, and the earth was charred. Countless strange figures flew out from the mountains, some with cow heads and human bodies, some with human faces and beast bodies, some with one foot, and some with four arms and three heads. They flew into the sky and launched various weapons to attack the ten suns fiercely.

With a long cry, the ten suns suddenly transformed into ten golden three-legged birds, flying down together. They were extremely large, and when their wings were spread out, they were tens of thousands of kilometers long. The golden three-legged claws were like pillars supporting the sky. The ten golden crows flew faster and faster, and every time they flapped their wings, a blanket of golden flames would fall down like a meteorite, dragging their long meteor tails to attack the strange-looking people flying up.

Every time the Golden Crow spread its wings, millions of monsters were burned to ashes, but countless more monsters flew up from the vast and desolate land. These monsters grew bigger and stronger, and finally became as strong as the Golden Crow. After a short while, all the weak monsters were burned to death, leaving only a giant, who was unknown whether he was 100,000 or 1 million feet tall. With his hands open, he covered the sky in darkness. The ten Golden Crows seemed to know how powerful the giant was, and did not dare to come down, so they flew up high. The monster took the opportunity to chase after him, grabbing upwards with his two giant hands, and occasionally jumping up, tearing the feathers of several Golden Crows into pieces.

The ten Golden Crows were furious and stopped running away. They spewed out blazing flames and surrounded the giant, grabbing him. The giant and the Golden Crows fought further and further away. Gradually, the giant seemed to be exhausted and his movements slowed down. His whole body was burned black by the Golden Crows. The smallest Golden Crow suddenly screamed, shocking the world. It clawed down and tore the giant's skull open. The giant fell down with a bang, and the whole world calmed down.

Zhou Qing was like a spectator. The grand and spectacular scene in front of him seemed to be in another space. He could see it but couldn't touch it, but it was extremely clear, as if it was happening next to him, and it was indescribably real.

"What a great scene of Kuafu chasing the sun! What a grand scene, it is indeed a battle that will destroy the heavens and the earth. It seems that I am in trouble today." Zhou Qing was wrapped in red light and said to himself, "But why is there only Kuafu chasing the sun, but no Houyi shooting the sun?"

Zhou Qing's last sentence was so loud that the whole illusory prehistoric world seemed to hear it clearly. Just after Zhou Qing spoke, nine of the ten golden crows suddenly disappeared, leaving only the golden crow that scratched the skull of the giant Kuafu.

The scene suddenly changed, the ancient world disappeared, and it was still a hazy chaos. The golden crow shrank and changed in front of Zhou Qing, and turned into a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was a little short, wearing a fishtail hat, a big red robe, a sword on his back, a flower basket in one hand, and a golden cloud. He came slowly in front of Zhou Qing and bowed directly, saying: "Brother Taoist, please come in! I wonder what you want to see me for?"

The appearance of the short Taoist priest was the same as that of the monk in Futu Mountain. Of course, Zhou Qing didn't know that. Seeing this Taoist priest coming to bow, Zhou Qing didn't return the greeting, but just sneered.

"Lu Ya, you don't have to pretend. I know your background, and you know mine. Even if you didn't perform the scene just now, I know how powerful you are. I admit that I am no match for you. I came here to negotiate with you. I like this place and want to move in. You just need to move."

It was Zhou Qing who made him sound so confident about stealing someone's magic weapon.

Lu Ya was pointed out by Zhou Qing, but he was not embarrassed. He still smiled and said, "Brother Dao is indeed a genius. It has not been a hundred years, and he has achieved such a level of cultivation."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I am not a genius at all. I am just an ant that was accidentally calculated among all living beings. I don't know whether I will live or die tomorrow. I am just struggling hard."

Lu Ya smiled and said, "Since you think you are not my opponent, why did you come in and ask me to move? Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Everyone knows that when Lu Ya Daojun comes out, someone must die. In the eyes of Daojun, I am just an ant-like figure. Daojun naturally dares to kill me, but it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. You are just a clone. I want to give it a try. Even if I die, it is worse than dying unclearly at that time." Zhou Qing just sneered.

"Brother Dao is indeed a great man, but the time is too short. If you are given enough time, you would be able to ask me to move. It is not too late for you to turn back now. It will not be too late to disturb me again after ten thousand years. If you don't leave, I will seal this place, and you will have to stay with me." Zhou Qing understood the implication of Lu Ya's words.

"Seal this place? Daojun is really joking. I have worked hard for forty years, borrowed the Donghuang Taiyi Bell, the spiritual veins of the earthly immortal world, and there is also the Nine Crystals Locking Demon Formation outside. You want to use the terrain here, but you miscalculated." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"What? Donghuang Taiyi Bell? How did it fall into your hands?" Lu Ya was a little surprised, and then he calmed down: "No wonder the five great saints started fighting last time, it was because of this matter, but this bell was originally mine, you used it to deal with me, isn't it a joke?" This bell belongs to his father, and it is understandable for Taoist Lu Ya to say that it is his, so Zhou Qing certainly doesn't bother to refute.

"Whether it's a joke or not, you won't know if you try. If your real body comes, I will of course run as far as I can. But after I kill you, I will refine the essence of the great witch Kuafu and the great witch Houyi in this gourd. Even if your real body comes, you can't do anything to me. What's more, I am still under the command of Yuanshi Tianzun. If you want to kill me openly, I'm afraid that Tianzun will not be able to save his face and turn you into powder in a moment. I killed this true spirit clone, and you can only suffer in silence."

Zhou Qing smiled very brightly. While speaking, he waved his hand, and the body on the altar that was performing the magic of stepping on the Gangdou suddenly stopped. All the spiritual consciousness and true spirits came in, and even the various magic weapons on the incense table flew up and turned into rays of light of various colors and entered the gourd. The Donghuang Bell and the power of the formation eye pressed down the gourd so that Lu Ya's true spirit could not block the gourd. If Zhou Qing retreated, he could also escape.

Although this Taoist Lu Ya was only a clone of the true spirit, Zhou Qing did not dare to underestimate him. After much preparation, he dared to come in and act.

The gourd was extremely sharp and could kill generals and immortals. It was refined with the essence of Kuafu and Houyi after their deaths. As long as Zhou Qing killed the Taoist in front of him, he could obtain the essence and strengthen his body, and finally devour the twelve ancestor witches, and his strength would be increased ten thousand times. Although he was not as good as the five great leaders, he could at least be on par with Maitreya Buddha.

Just when Zhou Qing suddenly stopped moving, the big and small foxes, Wen Lanxin, Blue God Poison Dragon and others had already received Zhou Qing's instructions and launched the Demonic Array together. The nine crystal rays thinner than spider silk were originally tied tightly to the gourd, but now slowly disappeared into it.

At the same time, the twelve Dutian flags suddenly shrank down and turned into twelve black lines, which also followed in.

In the space transformed by the gourd, the nine thin lines of light became as thick as a bucket, and surrounded Lu Ya Taoist in the blink of an eye, spinning rapidly, a crystal light and shadow flowed, making people dizzy.

Suddenly, the nine crystal pillars shook, thunderbolts sounded continuously, and water dragons mixed with thick lightning rushed in the formation, pressing towards Taoist Lu Ya from all directions. Lu Ya was a spirit in the fire. Zhou Qing specially used the Suo Yao formation to extract and refine the elite of Kuishui in the underground Yin River, and hoped that it could play a restraining role.

Seeing Zhou Qing attack without saying hello, Lu Ya's true spirit clone had expected it long ago, and did not dodge, and let Kuishui thunder press over.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After nine consecutive bangs, Zhou Qing, who was in charge of the formation in the Immortal Mansion, felt a huge force that Mo Ran could not resist and counterattacked. The little fox had the weakest power. If he was not careful, he would be bounced up by this force, hit the wall of the Immortal Mansion, and bounced back, spurting blood. Zhou Chen was not much better. He retreated again and again and sat on the ground with blood flowing from all his orifices. He watched the little fox being seriously injured, but he could not move, could not go up to help, and did not even have the strength to speak.

Lan Shen, Wen Lanxin, Fei Xiong, Liu Tong Toad, and Du Long were the same. They did not care about others. Those who could move took pills from their bodies and swallowed them like beans. Those who could not move could only barely use their magic power to heal their wounds. Although Long Tianlongdi and Long Tianlongdi were physically strong and were much less injured than the other seven, they also vomited blood. The blood of the ancient dragon whale was very much, and these two people seemed to have no cost.

Yunxia heard the noise and came out in a hurry. She picked up the Qingjing glass bottle and sprinkled it. The cool breath made everyone's injuries better. She asked her disciples to give the injured disciples spiritual medicine for treatment and let them practice their skills to heal their injuries. Yunxia closed the door of the fairy house tightly and watched the movement on the altar nervously, but she naturally couldn't see the fight between Zhou Qing and Lu Ya in the gourd space.

Lu Ya waved his hand and smashed the nine big crystals that made up the small demon formation together with the sunflower water thunder, and seriously injured the nine people who presided over the formation. Zhou Qing knew that although the one in front of him was a clone, he was also better than himself, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

However, Zhou Qing was not in a hurry. While breaking the formation, the five-color light behind him flashed, and the red, green, black, white, and yellow five-color divine light was scattered together.

"How come Kong Xuan's five-color divine light is in your hand!" Seeing the five-color divine light coming, Lu Ya was shocked and dared not resist. He paused and turned into a long rainbow to escape, shouting loudly from a distance.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Zhou Qing felt sorry when he saw that he could not reach Lu Ya. As long as Lu Ya was reached, he could suppress him with the power of the Dutian formation, and then he would have a much better chance.

Lu Ya asked, but Zhou Qing did not answer. The five-color divine light was heavier than a mountain, and it was not easy to use. In the sneak attack, he did not reach the opponent, let alone in the open. Zhou Qing collected the divine light, and twelve black lines appeared behind him. At this time, Lu Ya took out the sword, which was bright red and pointed forward. The whole space was ablaze, and golden fireballs rolled everywhere, one wave after another, as big as a mountain. Lu Ya floated in the fire and no longer spoke. He took Zhou Qing with his sword.

Zhou Qing swelled up his body, revealing Zhu Rong's true body. He ignored the volcanic fireball that hit him, waved the twelve big flags, and black clouds surged. All twelve demons jumped out, floating in the ten thousand feet of black clouds. Including Zhou Qing, there were thirteen demons, rolling towards Lu Ya together, without any skills, just a pure competition of strength.

This was extremely fierce. If Lu Ya's real body was here, he would not be afraid, but this was a clone, so of course he did not dare to be arrogant. He put away his sword and transformed himself into a three-legged golden crow, with two wings spread out, reaching a thousand miles, and Zhou Qing and other demons were smaller.

The sharp claws spread out, carrying a thousand feet of golden flames, and grabbed Zhou Qing's head. Although Zhou Qing was not afraid of fire, his claws could not bear it, so he quickly sacrificed his magic weapon, a strange-shaped ancient copper coin, which swayed in the wind, as big as a mountain, rolling up a thousand feet of green clouds and fighting with the golden crow's claws.

Zhou Qing used more than a dozen magic weapons and smashed them on the Golden Crow. The Golden Crow flapped its wings, and the ten-thousand-foot-high flames rolled up a gust of wind, which was not as strong as the cold wind from the banana fan. The magic weapons were blown away and could not get close to the body. The twelve demon gods were not afraid of wind and fire, and they rushed forward, but their speed was much lower. The Golden Crow's three claws resisted back and forth, and moved smoothly, grabbing the demon god's head. The demon god used his hands to catch it, and white marks were scratched on the almost eternal and indestructible scales.

Zhou Qing became more and more frightened and terrified as he fought: "My goodness, this clone is so powerful, and the original body will come and slap me to death. Am I too reckless this time?"

The monk in the bird's nest far away in Futu Mountain is now motionless, and even the spell has stopped, as if he has passed away.

The Golden Crow was afraid that Zhou Qing would release the Five-Colored Divine Light, so it used a small part of its energy to deal with him. The mountain-sized claws kept grabbing, and Zhou Qing was under great pressure. He was sweating profusely from being chased and killed, so he had no time to move the Five-Colored Divine Light and scatter it randomly. Fortunately, the twelve demons restrained the Golden Crow, otherwise Zhou Qing would have been caught and killed on the spot in a dozen encounters.

This was the first time that Zhou Qing used all his strength to fight, summoning all the twelve demons. Even against Kong Xuan, Maitreya Buddha was not fully revealed, because the opponent was too powerful.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A few earth-shaking noises shook the entire Jiuquan Mountain. In the sky, teams of monks wearing yellow patchwork clothes and golden skin were neatly arranged. There were hundreds of thousands of them. Jin Zha led the team in front, followed by a green-haired lion, a white elephant, and a golden-haired lion. They were the mounts of Guanyin, Manjusri, and Puxian Bodhisattva.

Jin Zha thundered in the sky, bombarding the clouds above the valley, but the clouds only dispersed slightly, and after the thunder, they gathered again.

Catching a fire fairy from Huoyan Mountain, Jin Zha asked, "Did the evil Red Boy really come to Jiuquan Mountain?" The fire fairy nodded repeatedly, and Jin Zha threw the fire fairy on the cloud, called the Buddhist soldiers to tie him up, and shouted loudly to the three mounts.

"Jin Guangxian, Lingyaxian, Qiushouxian, quickly take action, break the clouds, capture Red Boy, and go back to report the law to the Bodhisattva."

After saying that, he took the ropes on the necks of the three mounts and shook them, and the three mounts turned into three Taoists.

Jin Guangxian is a golden-haired roar, Lingyaxian is a white elephant, and Qiushouxian is a green-haired lion. After the mounts turned into three Taoists, they remained silent and did not resist. They pinched the seal on the spot and let them go.

Three thunderbolts of crystal light flew down and rushed straight into the clouds. With a thunder, the clouds were shattered, revealing the valley below.

Liao Xiaojin was in a daze in the Pansi Cave Mansion when he heard the thunderbolt outside and flew out in a hurry.

"Where are you from, monster?" Jin Zha didn't recognize Liao Xiaojin. Seeing that he flew up alone, he shouted in a stern voice.
