Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 487: Watching the Fire from Across the River
"Not necessarily unbeatable."
The Howling Moon Fox said lightly, "We of the Demon Race are different from your Human Race. If we fight, it will be to the death."
"That place is the Demon Realm; our Divine Power is restricted, while the demonic flood dragon is empowered."
"Since it has been infected by Demonic Qi and lost its intelligence, we have no need to fight it to the end."
Shen Xuan understood.
That demonic flood dragon has extraordinary battle prowess and fears not death.
The combined power of the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat has no assurance of victory over it.
It’s only natural they wouldn’t provoke the demonic flood dragon.
Shen Xuan weighed this in his mind.
At the moment, his strength is also inadequate to deal with a true Tier Three demonic flood dragon.
Especially in the Demon Realm, where one’s gain spells another’s loss, more caution is needed.
Anyway, the Bai Family’s ancestor has also been to the Demon Realm.
He could ask him for the location later.
One hour later.
A Scarlet Flame Tiger Demon, as strong as a wild bull, standing two zhang tall, with a body as red as molten lava and fur that faintly glows with firelight, stepped into the Cave Mansion.
Both humans and demons rose to their feet.
The Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat called out, "Scarlet Flame King."
Shen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger bore a single horn on its forehead, the tip igniting an inextinguishable bright flame, its tiger eyes golden, claws like black iron.
As it walked along, scorch marks were left on the ground, and even the surrounding air seemed to burn.
Its Demon Power far surpassed that of the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Shen, I am Scarlet Flame Tiger."
The Bai Family ancestor and Shen Xuan cupped their fists in salute.
Both humans and three demons sat down again.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger took the main seat.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen has a way to increase Three-Tails’ battle prowess?"
Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "I observe the Three-Tails King, swift as the wind, with profound Magical Power, no less than the True Pill True Master of Medicine God Valley."
The Three-Tailed Tabby Cat nodded repeatedly, smiling proudly at the Howling Moon Fox.
Only to be met with the Howling Moon Fox’s disdainful gaze.
"The concern is only that the Three-Tails King is naturally afraid of fire. I have an object that I can lend to the Three-Tails King to block the fire attacks."
The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s vertical pupils were as sharp as knives, fixing on Shen Xuan.
"Oh, I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Shen has such Spiritual Objects!"
"Scarlet Flame King, please take a look."
Shen Xuan summoned forth the Immortal Gold Armor.
Then, his figure flickered.
He silently performed the spell.
A Golden Body of one zhang six chi and a flood dragon Dharma Aspect appeared.
Clad in Immortal Gold Armor, his body swelled continuously until it reached three zhang.
Afterward, it gradually shrank back to its original size.
The Immortal Gold Armor adjusted its size at will, fitting snugly to the body.
"What a fine armor!"
The Scarlet Flame Demon Tiger recognized quality.
He himself was a Fire Technique Demon King.
"Scarlet Flame King, would you like to try?"
"Alright. Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful!"
With that, the Scarlet Flame Tiger opened its mouth and spat.
A ball of scarlet demonic fire shot toward Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan neither dodged nor avoided, letting the scarlet demonic fire strike the Immortal Gold Armor.
With a "bang."
After a flash of dazzling scarlet light.
The Immortal Gold Armor shone even more brightly.
Numerous tiny scarlet flames flickered on the Immortal Gold Armor.
Shen Xuan smiled slightly.
He extended his palm, condensing Profound Ice Spiritual Power, and gently wiped it over the Immortal Gold Armor.
The tiny scarlet flames were instantly extinguished.
"What a remarkable Immortal Gold Armor!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger couldn’t help but praise.
Most Demon Kings cultivate based on innate talent and instinct.
Few are skilled in Cultivation Techniques involving Pill, Artifact, Array, and Talisman.
In battle, Demon Kings rely on a powerful Flesh Body and Innate Divine Power.
Few possess handy demonic treasures.
"This method is quite ingenious!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger pondered for a moment, then asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you help us like this, what are you asking for?"
Shen Xuan cupped his fists and saluted, "To be honest, Scarlet Flame King. This armor once appeared in the world, recognized by True Master Xuan Ying of Medicine God Valley."
"Oh, True Master Xuan Ying knows you?"
"Indeed. However, he is an enemy, not a friend."
Shen Xuan smiled and said, "I lend the Immortal Gold Armor this time to help you kings, bringing numerous consequences afterward."
"Therefore, I wish for a small ball of your Scarlet Flame King’s life-source scarlet demonic fire."
The Scarlet Flame Tiger laughed heartily.
"I thought it was a big deal!"
"Is this enough?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger cast a spell and spat out a small ball of life-source scarlet demonic fire.
"It’s enough! Thank you, Scarlet Flame King."
Shen Xuan immediately lent the Immortal Gold Armor to the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat.
...
More than ten days later.
An expansive, open plain.
The Demon Race gathered, black clouds pressing down overhead.
Shen Xuan concealed his aura, using the Thousand Transformations, transformed into a demon ape, hiding among the demon horde.
With such dense demonic aura concealing him, even a Golden Core True Master would be unable to detect his presence without specifically looking.
Opposite stood True Master Xuan Ying from Medicine God Valley, along with Junior Disciple Brother Wu, True Master Bi Song, leading an army of over four thousand cultivators from Medicine God Valley.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger, with the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat, flew out from the Demon Race formation.
"Xuan Ying! You have some nerve! Daring to run wild in our Demon Race territory! Don’t you Medicine God Valley disciples want to live anymore?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s voice thundered like a storm, echoing across the heavens and the earth.
Even the cultivators of Medicine God Valley at the back of the line could hear it clearly.
"Scarlet Flame King, don’t be angry!"
True Master Xuan Ying floated out from the ranks.
"We of Medicine God Valley merely wish to pass through. I, Xuan Ying, will restrain my disciples, ensuring they do not disturb your followers."
These demons are different from the Demon Beasts on the outskirts of the Wilderness.
Strictly speaking, the little demons here are all private property of the Demon King.
"I don’t care! We of the Demon Race have already set rules with your Human Race. On the Wilderness outskirts, you may come and go as you please. Inside the Wilderness, enter at your own risk of life and death!"
"Xuan Ying! Are you certain I would not dare to slaughter you all?"
True Master Xuan Ying laughed heartily, "I don’t dare! Scarlet Flame King, we’re just passing through. Why be so aggressive?"
"Not passing through!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger roared fiercely.
True Master Xuan Ying nodded.
"If that’s the case, let’s proceed as per the old rules. Scarlet Flame King, how about a two out of three match?"
"Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger waved a hand, signaling the Howling Moon Fox and the Three-Tailed Tabby Cat to retreat.
"Xuan Ying, let’s do a round between the two of us first!"
"Good! Great King of Scarlet Flames, you are straightforward! I risk my life to accompany you!"
The next moment.
The two transformed into two streaks of escape light, moving towards each other.
When separated by a hundred meters.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger roared, scarlet flames surged all around, its horn bursting forth a massive pillar of fire, directly charging at True Master Xuan Ying.
True Master Xuan Ying was not to be outdone, directly deploying the [Burning Heaven Spirit Fire] divine power, transforming into a giant fire dragon with claws and teeth, rushing forward.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The two fire techniques clashed, making the earth tremble, scorching waves sweeping in all directions.
Cultivators quickly revealed their protective spirit shields.
The little demons in front screamed and leaped backward.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s scarlet demon fire was fierce and tyrannical, while True Master Xuan Ying’s Burning Heaven Spirit Fire was endless.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two directly unleashed their divine powers in magical combat.
The "boom, boom, boom" sounds continued uninterrupted.
They fought for half a day and still couldn’t determine a winner.
"Let’s stop!"
True Master Xuan Ying suddenly shouted.
"Why, can’t defeat me, you admit defeat?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger exhaled a sigh of relief.
Facing the Golden Core True Master was extremely stressful, it was not easy for him either.
True Master Xuan Ying said in a deep voice, "Great King of Scarlet Flames, both of us know that if we continue, life and death will be seen. How about considering it a draw?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger glanced at the Howling Moon Fox.
Saw her slowly nod.
"A draw it is. I don’t care to argue with you!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger shouted brazenly.
Turned around and returned to the formation.
The Demon Race erupted with cheers.
Although it was a draw.
The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s opponent was a Golden Core True Master from Medicine God Valley.
He was the strongest cultivator in the pioneering team.
The other two were only True Pill True Masters.
Their battle power was clearly weaker by a notch.
The Demon Race was full of confidence.
"Strange! This Scarlet Flame Tiger, how did it become so agreeable."
True Master Xuan Ying thought he had to spend some words.
Unexpectedly, the Scarlet Flame Tiger agreed to the draw directly.
"Brother Wu Zhen, be extra careful, don’t underestimate!"
"Okay."
True Master Wu Zhen flew out of the camp.
Opposite, the Howling Moon Fox flashed, transforming into a silver light, arriving in front of True Master Wu Zhen.
"I, Wu Zhen, greet Great King Howling Moon."
"I’ve made my move!"
The Howling Moon Fox casually returned the courtesy, raising both hands.
Suddenly had two treasure flags in her hands.
Before True Master Wu Zhen could prepare.
The Howling Moon Fox wildly waved the treasure flags.
In an instant, an illusion array enveloped True Master Wu Zhen.
The scenery before True Master Wu Zhen’s eyes changed abruptly, as if placed in an endless sea of moonlight, his divine soul corroded by the illusion power of the spirit moon, and consciousness gradually blurred.
"Not good!"
True Master Wu Zhen gritted his teeth and sacrificed the Divine Dragon Shield, using it to deploy divine power, summoning two fire dragons, spitting fierce fire, flying interlaced, attempting to melt the illusion realm.
The Howling Moon Fox sneered, lightly shaking the treasure flag.
The illusion array transformed again, where a beautiful maiden who looked seventy percent similar to True Master Wu Zhen emerged inside.’
The beautiful maiden wore an expression of melancholy, softly parted her cherry lips: "Chu Tianyun, do you still remember the Immortal Lotus by the shores of Twin Flight Lake?"
True Master Wu Zhen’s expression changed dramatically, cold sweat pouring.
For a time, his face was full of complex expressions, unexpectedly falling into the tribulation of heart demons.
"We concede!"
Upon saying this, True Master Xuan Ying lightly shouted, using a streak of Burning Heaven Spirit Fire to smash the illusion array.
"Ashamed!"
Without the interference of the illusion array, True Master Wu Zhen finally suppressed the heart demon, regaining clarity.
The Demon Race erupted in cheers again.
Various ghostly cries and howls pierced the air, sounding sharp.
"Brother Bi Song, must not fail!"
True Master Xuan Ying said solemnly.
"Rest assured. Brother Xuan Ying, my fire gourd contains the Fire that Devours Spirits, especially effective against cat demons."
Cat demons feared fire.
True Master Bi Song’s Fire that Devours Spirits was particularly effective against demon beasts.
"Don’t be stuck in rituals, strike first for advantage."
"Got it!"
True Master Bi Song was full of confidence, having barely exchanged pleasantries with the Three-tailed Tabby Cat, he immediately summoned the fire gourd. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
The cyan Fire that Devours Spirits spurted out, transforming into a web of fire, covering the Three-tailed Tabby Cat.
The Three-tailed Tabby Cat was frightened and retreated repeatedly.
Its form was agile, shuttling continuously in the sea of fire.
Even so, it was still burned by the heavenly fire, emitting a scorched smell, retreating continuously.
True Master Bi Song pursued relentlessly, seizing the victory.
"Speed!"
True Master Bi Song formed a hand seal, the massive fire net formed by the Fire that Devours Spirits suddenly contracted, trapping the Three-tailed Tabby Cat inside.
The Three-tailed Tabby Cat suddenly let out a roar.
Its form flickered, deploying the Wind Escape Technique, from the gap in the fire net, charging at True Master Bi Song.
"I anticipated this!"
True Master Bi Song chuckled lightly.
Slapped the fire gourd.
Countless cyan arrows condensed from the Fire that Devours Spirits shot out at the Three-tailed Tabby Cat.
Just when everyone thought victory was decided.
On the body of the Three-tailed Tabby Cat, a suit of Immortal Gold Battlegear suddenly appeared out of thin air!
The battlegear’s golden light flowed, the cyan arrows striking it extinguished upon contact, unable to harm it in the slightest.
True Master Bi Song was shocked by this sight.
In a split second, the Three-tailed Tabby Cat had closed in, its claws like lightning, leaving three bloody marks on his face!
True Master Bi Song’s face burned with pain.
"I concede!"
With countless cat claws flashing before his eyes, True Master Bi Song hurriedly admitted defeat.
Being close to the cat demon, with the opponent having Immortal Gold Battlegear.
If True Master Bi Song did not admit defeat, he would only be injured further, losing face completely.
The Demon Race cheered thunderously.
The Three-tailed Tabby Cat was full of pride.
The cultivators from Medicine God Valley fell into dead silence, not a sound was heard.
"We lost!"
True Master Xuan Ying said to the Scarlet Flame Tiger.
"The matter of borrowing the path is over."
"However."
True Master Xuan Ying suddenly asked, "Where is the original owner of the Immortal Gold Battlegear?"
