Mortal Mage

In the forest, a branch of an ancient ginseng tree broke with a "crackling" sound, followed by Yu Shitao's scream of "Wow!" that echoed in the forest.

With a dull thud, Yu Shitao fell heavily to the ground.

A moment later, Hao Fen landed gracefully holding Zhang Mingxuan.

The sound of horse hooves "thump thump" rang out in the forest.

Before Zhang Mingxuan could react, the two deacons were already standing proudly on either side of him and Hao Fen.

The man in the animal pattern robe and the man in the flame robe rode on the lion-shaped horse, looking down from above with amusement in their eyes. At the same time, an overwhelming pressure enveloped Zhang Mingxuan, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Zhang Mingxuan had experienced this level of pressure before, which was extremely similar to what Shi Manman had experienced.

Golden elixir period.

Whether it is in the early or late stages, it makes no difference to him.

"Humph."

The man in the animal-patterned robe snorted, then shifted his gaze to the man in the flame robe behind Zhang Mingxuan.

The man in the flaming robe held an eight-foot-long (1.85 meters) copper stick engraved with runes, and said to Zhang Mingxuan with deep meaning, "My junior brother, we have nothing to hide now. This is the territory of the sect, there is no..." He raised his hand and pointed upwards, and continued, "We dare not commit murder if you order us to do it." He grabbed the reins of the lion horse under his crotch and shook it, then walked to Zhang Mingxuan's side and advised, "So, we don't know who you have offended, but we are not vicious people. Give me the fox demon soul as your life-saving money, and we will destroy your spiritual roots and let you go, okay?"

Zhang Mingxuan looked around at the two of them, without making any noise, and secretly asked Huo Feng beside him, "Can you beat them?"

Hao Xian lifted the veil to cover her delicate body and replied in a voice transmission, "I can use my charm to help my master delay time, but I have not learned any magic. If these two have any means of self-protection, I really can't get rid of them in a short time."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingxuan frowned, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in the corners of his eyes.

The man in the animal-patterned robe and the man in the flaming robe were both old monsters who had practiced for thousands of years. They knew human nature very well. After noticing the bad look in Zhang Mingxuan's eyes, they didn't waste any words and shouted in unison, "Hurry up and obey the order!" Two talismans with dazzling golden runes engraved on the blazing blue runes flew out from their waists and shot towards Hao Xian first.

Huo Fen looked around. She didn't recognize other things, but she could clearly smell the scorching, refined and pure aura of the Demon-Slaying Talisman.

But the demon-slaying talisman that was flying towards her now was not an ordinary demon-slaying talisman, but an advanced talisman that was more refined than the demon-slaying talisman.

This kind of talisman is more than enough to deal with a fourth-level fox demon, not to mention a third-level fox demon.

But these two people made a wrong calculation, because she, Hao Fen, was a seventh-level fox demon.

Two talismans exploded "bang bang" at the same time in front of and behind Hao Fen, but there was no fire or light. A thick white mist burst out and disappeared.

"It's not a third-level fox demon!"

"How can a person with mixed spiritual roots like him have a high-level demon slave!"

When the two men saw this, they cried out in surprise but looked calm. They each made some kind of finger gestures with their hands, and their bodies were instantly surrounded by golden light.

Afterwards, countless yellow talismans in the storage bags on their waists gushed out like a flood, and the talismans charged like an army, killing towards the white fog that was spreading in the surrounding jungle.

The talisman exploded with a "bang bang" sound in the white mist, flames flashed, and burned loudly, but the white mist became thicker and thicker, with no sign of dissipating.

Seeing that the two were being delayed by Huo Fen, Zhang Mingxuan took out a handful of spirit stones, pinched the two rat teeth with his fingertips, and began to dance and intertwine.

As long as Hao Fen could delay for a moment, he could set up a fire escape formation to trap the two of them.

The rat fangs of the earth-type monster filtered his mixed spiritual power to make it more refined. At this time, the accuracy of the spiritual power veins he drew in the space had barely reached the late stage of foundation building.

If there is enough time, he can control the accuracy to the early stage of Jindan.

Runes lit up around Zhang Mingxuan, and web-like golden threads intertwined and loomed.

In the thick white fog, the man in the animal pattern robe swung his sword and cut his palm, and used the blood in his palm to draw a blood-red talisman more than one meter high in the air in front of him. After the last stroke was made, the four large characters "Imperial Order to Suppress Demons" on the blood-red talisman turned golden, and the same thing happened in front of the man in the flame robe opposite him. The two looked at each other, nodded heavily, and then shouted in unison; "The magic circle is consecrated, the seven stars appear, and the six directions return to their true nature. Wherever the imperial order goes, demons and evil spirits are annihilated. Seal the demons with the absolute formation and suppress all spirits!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

In the mountains and forests, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the branches and leaves of the grass and trees in the forest were disturbed by the turbulence caused by the talisman, and were blown away wildly.

Dark clouds suddenly rose in the clear sky. A moment later, lightning seemed to flash faintly in the clouds, accompanied by muffled thunder.

The rune was activated, but the white mist around the two did not dissipate, but became thicker.

At this time, the man in the animal pattern robe was already panicking, and the lion horse under him was also "huffing and puffing" in a restless manner. He tried to calm his mind and looked at the man in the flame robe in front of him, and said anxiously; "Brother, even if it is a fifth-level monster, it can't escape the suppression of the "Demon Sealing Formation". This fox demon is probably capable of everything!"

The man in the flaming robe had a serious expression when he heard this. The veins on his right hand holding the copper stick bulged. He swung the reins with his left hand and vigilantly observed the thick fog around him. He said in a deep voice, "My magic power is like a drop in the ocean in this white fog." His expression became more and more serious. "This... is not something you and I can contend with."

After the two men finished speaking, they pinched their fingers and muttered something. After a moment, the shields around them became brighter. Then they threw out several sound transmission jade slips at the same time and began to shake people.

At the same time, the thick white fog completely submerged the two of them.

Little did they know that the talismans drawn by the two of them with their essence and blood were no different from the ritual of opening an altar. Even against a fifth-rank monster, they could fight on equal terms.

However, at this time, it had no effect and instead triggered the oppression of demonic thunder.

In the thick fog, discarded spirit stones were scattered all around Zhang Mingxuan. He cast the last rune, and the two frosty white rat teeth in his hand had turned waxy yellow like dead things. He threw away the rat teeth, and after regulating his breathing for a while, he waved his hand to signal Hao Fen to withdraw the illusion.

If nothing unexpected happened, the evil aura emanating from Hao Fen during the fight just now must have alarmed the entire Xuantian Sword Sect, and it wouldn't be long before this place would be surrounded by bullets.

He must find out the reason as soon as possible.

Hao Fen removed the thick fog illusion, and the men in the beast pattern robe and the flame robe were trapped in a tree-waist-high scorching red fire escape formation.

When Zhang Mingxuan first designed the Fire Escape Formation, it was for use against Yuanying stage cultivators. Now it was more than enough to deal with two Jindan stage cultivators.

He stood outside the formation, looking up at the two men riding on the lion horses in confusion, and asked, "Why are you harming me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a gesture with his fingers. With a roar, a raging fire ignited in the formation. Even though the two of them were at the Golden Core stage, they were trapped in the formation with raging fire all around them. They were shocked, angry, annoyed, and in pain, and they screamed, "Wow wow!" "You monster, let us go!"

The arrogant look in their eyes had long disappeared, replaced by fear and disbelief.

They had clearly explored Zhang Mingxuan's Qi Sea before, and it was definitely not a foundation.

The two of them racked their brains but could not understand why a useless person who had not even built a foundation could possess a fox demon of level five or above and set up such a large formation to trap him.
