128: Chapter 128 Demon Extermination Alliance
"Someone has already beaten us to it. It looks like an expert from our Human Race!" the young Disciple said to the old Master beside him, watching Zhao Feng flying in mid-air.
"As long as they are dealing with demons, they are our allies. Come, Lingxin, let's go and take a look," the old Master said, stroking his beard.
The two seemed to have only taken a few steps forward, yet they covered a vast distance. There was a strong Aura of Earth Qi during their movement; it appeared to be a highly advanced movement technique.
Zhao Feng activated Ice Rain to disperse the minor demons. Large-scale Spells like Ice Rain were ineffective against demons with strong cultivation levels, so he stopped casting, and the huge disk vanished.
The blade aura was in Liu Xuan's hands, and Zhao Feng suddenly had no good weapon, so he had to condense Metal Qi onto his fists and charge at the Bear Demon.
Great Dragon Fist!
"Well come!" Although the Bear Demon was somewhat worried about the two newly arrived Daoists, as a born battle maniac, he especially enjoyed this kind of face-to-face slaughter.
He brandished his black spear and thrust it straight at his heart.
Zhao Feng dodged the spear sideways, blocked the shaft with his left fist, and lunged forward with his right, striking directly at the Bear Demon.
The Bear Demon kicked up, blocking Zhao Feng's right fist with a thud, then dragged the tail of the spear with one hand to pull it back.
Apart from the powerful Qi contained in every move, the fight between the human and the demon was similar to that of mortal Martial Artists, which was quite rare on Yaoling Planet.
The young Disciple put away a purple-red compass and said, "Master, what kind of path is this cultivator on? He can actually fight a demon to a standstill with just his body. He is truly impressive!"
"Perhaps he is a rogue cultivator. Look, he has no artifact, nor has he mastered any powerful Spells; this must be a last resort," the old Master replied.
"Judging by his cultivation, he is only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he can fight this Peak Foundation Establishment Bear Demon to a standstill. It is truly rare. This Xilin Mountain is the territory of a Nascent Soul Great Demon; we must not linger. Let me finish it off!"
The old Master took out a gourd from behind his back, formed a hand seal with his right hand, and tapped the waist of the gourd with a strange technique. With every tap, ripples of green light surged across the gourd.
Although the Bear Demon was fighting fiercely with Zhao Feng, he had split a sliver of his attention toward the two Daoists. Seeing the old Master performing the ritual, he immediately felt a sense of unease and wanted to retreat.
But Zhao Feng sensed his intention and held on tightly. His fist winds surged, preventing the Bear Demon from leaving the battle.
After finishing the ritual, the old Master removed the stopper from the gourd and tossed it into the air.
The gourd grew as it met the wind, transforming to the size of a three-story building. A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the mouth of the gourd. Strangely, Zhao Feng, who was almost fighting in close quarters with the Bear Demon, felt nothing. However, the Bear Demon's black face turned red, as if he were struggling with all his might against the power of the gourd.
"Hehe!" The old Master sneered repeatedly, muttering incantations. The green light on the gourd flared, and the Bear Demon let out a miserable cry before being sucked inside.
The old Master beckoned, and the gourd shrank instantly, landing in his hand. He calmly replaced the stopper, slung the gourd over his back, and then walked over, saying to Zhao Feng, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"
It was Zhao Feng's first time witnessing the power of an artifact, and he was quite moved. It seemed he needed to acquire a couple for himself to avoid the predicament of having no weapon to use.
"Greetings, Daoist Master. Many thanks for your help!"
"With your cultivation, Fellow Daoist, you would not have feared this Bear Demon. It was presumptuous of me to intervene; please do not take offense," the old Master said politely.
"Please don't take offense, brother Daoist. This Xilin Mountain is the territory of the Nascent Soul Great Demon Yin Jun. My Master feared that delays would lead to complications, so he had to act early," the young Disciple interjected.
"So that's how it is!" Zhao Feng was also startled. A Nascent Soul Great Demon was not something he could contend with right now. If that demon were to attack, he would surely be done for.
"Benefactor!" Watching the three of them chatting, Liu Xuan, who had been hiding on the side, ran out.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist," the young Disciple greeted Liu Xuan.
The old Master nodded at Liu Xuan and said, "Let's talk as we go. Come, let's go see the Bear Demon's collection."
The Bear Demon was not a cultured demon, so he still lived in a pitch-black cave. The cave was filled with a stench that made one want to retch.
"Fellow Daoist, you came to Xilin Mountain because of that weasel demon, right?" The old Master took the lead, walking in front. Any minor demon he encountered was killed with a single finger, showing his cultivation was extremely profound.
"Indeed. I heard this Bear Demon wanted to refine a Yin Maiden Medicinal Pill as a gift, so I came to investigate. How did you know about it, brother Daoist?" Zhao Feng replied.
The old Master smiled and said, "The Swordsman of the Flowers is an outer Disciple of our Demon-Slaying Alliance. Brother Daoist, you are also a person who hates evil with a passion. Why not join our Demon-Slaying Alliance to exterminate evil demons and save our Human Race?" He was quite satisfied with Zhao Feng's strength and Comprehension Ability and couldn't help but extend an invitation.
Before Zhao Feng could answer, the old Master continued, "The two great demon nations rule the world, treating us humans like pigs, dogs, and livestock, raising us in captivity. If our Human Race does not save itself, our dignified Human Race will surely remain slaves and food forever. Although our Demon-Slaying Alliance is not strong, we all have passionate hearts. If all brothers and sisters work together, we will surely be able to drive out the Yao Race and restore a bright world to our Human Race."
The old Master's words were resounding and impassioned, his Aura quite imposing.
Zhao Feng was also stirred to boiling blood by his words and immediately said, "Alright, I will join."
In truth, this was not just a momentary impulse. The disparity between human and demon forces was vast. Although Zhao Feng possessed the System, he was currently severely lacking in transformation points. Having an organization would at least allow him to assemble subsystems quickly, which would be of great help in completing missions and planting the planet tree. Moreover, as an organization, the Demon-Slaying Alliance would naturally have a vast network of informants, which would be very beneficial for Zhao Feng in his search for Luo Ying.
"Good, good brother. Once we finish searching the demon cave, I will take you to meet the other brothers," the old Master patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and laughed heroically.
Having become one of their own, the two Daoists and Zhao Feng became much closer, and they soon grew familiar with each other.
The cave was not too large, and Zhao Feng and the others soon saw the Bear Demon's lifelong collection.
At the end of the dark cave was a larger grotto. In the center sat a massive Pill Furnace, with flames still burning fiercely inside. Beside the Pill Furnace was a huge stone platform, on which lay all sorts of strange and curious things.
Lately, Zhao Feng had been frequently studying the Jade Slips sent by Luo Ying, and his knowledge had grown significantly.
"Autumn Water Immortal, One-Leaf, Wood Spirit Grass..." Zhao Feng named the items one by one after identifying them. He hadn't expected this Bear Demon to have collected so many items for Alchemy.
"Brother, you have great knowledge. Could it be that you also understand Alchemy?" the old Master asked, his eyes gleaming.
Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "I am just relatively familiar with medicinal herbs."
A look of disappointment flashed across the old Master's face. He pointed to a pile of Ore-like objects and said, "These Black Iron and Refined Copper should go to you, brother. I see you don't have a suitable weapon; you can just refine one for yourself."
Black Iron and Refined Copper were minerals commonly used by cultivators and were quite common.
The Bear Demon did not have many collections. A porcelain bottle on the stone platform was stopped with a cork. The old Master picked it up, opened the stopper, and sniffed it, then covered it with disgust and threw it on the ground. "This is the Yin Maiden Medicinal Pill, refined from the hearts of women born on the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day. For demons, it is a top-tier beauty and nourishment supplement. This demon truly treats us humans as food."
A look of shock and anger appeared on Liu Xuan's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I must Cultivate diligently and avenge these sisters!"
She kicked the Medicinal Pill bottle away, looking very angry.
"Indeed, these demons deserve to die," Zhao Feng said loudly. This Bear Demon had truly touched Zhao Feng's bottom line.
After turning the Bear Demon's Immortal Cave upside down, the four of them finally exited.
The old Master led the two of them, heading straight to the nearby branch of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
