Volume 1 Chapter 126: Little Devil of Hell (First Update)
Hiss!
In the eerie howl, these little devils felt a crisis, and the purple wings behind them swelled up, and suddenly sprayed out crimson fog from their bodies, colliding with Lin Xi's "Ghost King Claw" and making a loud clanging sound like steel.
"Huh?"
Lin Xi's eyebrows rose in surprise, but his heart was actually quite unexpected. He felt that this mist was surprisingly similar to the true energy of a Refiner.
"These are the furnace spirits unique to the Furnace of Little Hell. These little devils survive here, and after being steeped in it for a long time, their bodies also contain some of this lowest-level hellish energy. However, they won't cultivate. Their main method of attack is still close-range physical combat. You all need to be careful, getting hit by them isn't much different from being hit by a magic sword."
The voice of Qinglian Shengnu sounded in her ear. Her voice was flat and calm, neither high nor low, maintaining a grasp of the overall situation. At the same time, she also took this opportunity to instruct Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue.
In theory, no matter how much you talk about it, it's still not as good as actual combat experience.
Qinglian Holy Girl waited until this time, only to mention Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyue, hoping to borrow from actual combat, the fastest way to improve their experience and awareness!
Whoosh!
As expected, these little devils only sprayed a burst of hellish yuanqi and immediately seemed to be out of energy, stopping in their tracks. They moved swiftly, extremely fast, flashing by in an instant, dodging Lin Xi's true energy blast.
This agile dodge was like an instinct, and it could be compared to a human strongman who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"These hellish creatures are indeed extraordinary."
A thought flashed through Lin Xi's mind.
Although it was only a brief contact, he also felt that these hellish creatures seemed to have a natural fighting instinct. All of their reactions were aimed at killing and fighting.
"Hiss!" The remaining four little devils moved swiftly, as fast as lightning. They circled around Lin Xi, seemingly trying to find a weakness in him. But they were destined to be disappointed, for Lin Xi had broken through the Refining Qi Realm and his strength was now greater than theirs, not just by a little bit.
"Come on!"
Lin Xi was not flustered, and he fought the four little devils to a standstill. His current strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary Qi Refining Realm First Stage strongman multiplied by ten. These hellish little devils, although they had strong vitality and their physical attacks were comparable to those of a magic sword, posed no threat to him.
All the little demons, as soon as they approached Lin Xi, were immediately shaken out by Lin Xi's majestic true energy.
However, Lin Xi did not want to end the battle too quickly and took advantage of the rare opportunity to have Qinglian Shengnu sweep the array, using the little devil to practice his hand and become familiar with the combat methods of these small hell creatures.
"Sister, this Lin Ze, is not ordinary at all"
Beside Qinglian Holy Girl, a female disciple at the Law Enforcement Boundary had her eyes lit up and cast "Transmitting Sound into Secret".
The power of Gongfu, towards the path of Qinglian Holy Girl.
She also saw that the four little devils were not a threat to Lin Xi at all, but were just being used by him to practice and hone his skills. To have such awareness as soon as he entered the Furnace Little Hell was enough to make one take notice.
"Yes. His boundary may not be high, but his true energy is incredibly powerful, at least seven or eight times stronger than the peak of the same boundary refinement cultivator. How did he cultivate it?"
Another female disciple of Fa Li Jing also cast a spell of secret transmission, saying quietly.
Their state of mind is far beyond Lin Xi's, not just by a little bit. Of course, they can't appreciate that kind of skill. But the true energy and grandeur displayed by Lin Xi is simply breathtaking.
Although they are now the best among the inner disciples, when it comes to refining Qi, they can't compare to Lin Xi at all. It has to be said that Lin Xi's strength is truly astonishing and makes them feel dazzled.
Originally, the two of them were somewhat dissatisfied with being pulled over to protect the two Qi Refining First Stage disciples. But now that they took a look, Lin Xi didn't need their help at all.
"Hehe, actually I don't know either. However, if you're really interested, you can ask him then." Qinglian Shengnu said with a smile.
The more outstanding Lin Xi's performance is, the more it proves that Qinglian Shengnu's investment in him has value and returns.
Two female disciples of the Law Enforcement Sect smiled lightly. They now had a somewhat favorable impression of Lin Xi.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yaoyue raised the golden toad and protected herself tightly. Originally, six small devils who had escaped the net were rolled up by Lin Xi, leaving only one behind, and Shangguan Yaoyue was more than enough to handle it.
However, the female disciple of the Realm of Qi named Lan Tai saw her summoning a magic artifact and intentionally released a small demon. The two small demons attacked Shangguan Yuxue together, making it not so easy for Shangguan Yuxue anymore.
However, Shangguan Yaoyue's family background seems to be extremely strong. Although she is not as perverted as Lin Xi, the two little devils cannot get close to her, and both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, making it a lively and colorful battle.
Although this performance is not particularly commendable, compared to the disciples of the Shen Xiao Sect at the same level, it is still much stronger.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a small devil that was besieging Shangguan Yaoyue let out a strange howl, its belly caved in and then suddenly bulged, and with a loud whoosh, it spat out a jet of black mist. The mist shot straight as an arrow, directly at Shangguan Yaoyue.
"Ah!"
Almost at the same time, a little devil on Lin Xi's side was also infected and opened its mouth to spew out a stream of toxic fog.
"Not good! Be careful, young one! This is the Devil's Breath!" Qinglian Holy Maiden's face changed slightly as she loudly warned. However, it was too late. Shangguan Yaoyue's true energy was far from being as thick as Lin Xi's, and her body wasn't surrounded by a tight defense. As soon as she came into contact with the poisonous mist, her whole body trembled, then her limbs went limp, and she fell to the ground.
"Quack!"
A small demon let out a shrill cry and immediately took advantage of the situation, pouncing forward with its sharp claws reaching for Yu Fang's neck.
"Bang!" Qinglian Holy Girl snapped her fingernail, and a bullet-sized true energy burst out of her body, entering the little devil's body. With a loud crash, it immediately blew the little devil to smithereens.
Qinglian Holy Girl's body flashed, and she immediately swept past, hugging Shangguan Yaoyue. At the same time, her five fingers lightly brushed, and another little devil was blown to pieces.
Qinglian Holy Girl, this master, killing a small evil spirit that refines one's aura is simply like slaughtering chickens and dogs, don't make it too easy!
On the other hand, Lin Xi's reaction was much more mature than Shangguan Yaoyue's. The little devil had just let out a breath when Lin Xi's eyes flashed and he immediately waved his hand to stir up a strong gust of wind, which blew the straight black smoke back in the opposite direction.
The little devil after vomiting looks like a frostbitten eggplant, and is listless all over.
Lin Xi's "Ghost King Claw" was about to grab this little devil to death.
"Be careful, little brother. I'm going to release a few more."
A crisp sound entered the ears, but it was Qing Jingzi, one of the three female disciples of the Qi Xianjing, who saw Lin Xi easily, and with a flash of sword light, released four more small devils. This way, there were seven small devils surrounding Lin Xi at the same time.
If it were an ordinary Qigong practitioner, they would have been attacked and devoured by these little demons long ago. However, Lin Xi was still in control. He didn't even use the "Golden Cauldron" on his body or any other magical tools.
Obviously, it's a foregone conclusion, no need for fancy equipment, genuine materials and these little devils are used to the fullest in actual combat training.
On the other hand, Qinglian Shengnu gave Shangguan Yaoyue a dan medicine, and Shangguan Yaoyue immediately woke up.
"Sister Shī, what's going on with me?" Upper Official Yáo Xuě murmured.
"Silly girl, you've just been affected by the little devil's breath and fainted."
The female disciple beside Fa Li Jing smiled and said.
They did know a bit about Shangguan Yaoyue's background, so they didn't look down on her or think little of her just because she wasn't performing well.
"The Imp's Breath is a strand of pure hellfire essence collected by this denizen of Hell."
"A disciple with a boundary that's too low can't withstand it at all. One mouthful and they'll almost pass out. However, this demonic breath isn't something that can be used casually - using it once requires resting for several months afterwards. Moreover, it's only when they feel like they're going to lose and are desperate that they'll resort to this. In the words of our immortal path, this demonic breath is also damaging to their own vitality." Qinglian Holy Maiden explained with a smile.
"How about it, am I not very impressive?" Xiang Yu's eyes lit up and she immediately said with a smile.
"Hehehe, yes, yes, Little Junior Sister, you are indeed very formidable."
All three of them burst out laughing.
Shangguan Yaoyue didn't mind at all, she was naturally optimistic and immediately laughed together with the three of them.
"Alright, swallow this Strength-Enhancing Pill and continue on. Be more careful this time. The Furnace of the Small Hell is fraught with danger, you must quickly adapt to the combat methods here."
Qinglian Shengnu said, handing over a "Qi-increasing Pill".
The "Xīn Qì Dān" of the core disciple level was different from what Shàng Guān Yáo Xuě and others could touch. Just one, immediately replenished Shàng Guān Yáo Xuě's true energy. After a slight rest, she continued to kill her way up.
On the other side, there was a female disciple in the Nascent Soul stage who released several small devils for her to practice on.
"Girl, remember. This time don't use the magic tool. The magic tool is powerful, but it also consumes a lot. There are countless demons here, your true energy can't withstand them."
The Way of the Holy Lotus
"Got it."
Shangguan Yaoyue was again entangled with two little devils.
On the other hand, Lin Xi single-handedly fought against seven little devils and actually gained the upper hand.
Several of his inner disciples with greater strength than him were shocked beyond belief.
Having such strength after just one cycle of refining Qi is truly unprecedented.
"Qing Ju, Lan Tai, Zhu Xiang, you three take a few more steps forward. I want to see his limits!" Qing Lian Sheng Nu's heart moved slightly, and she immediately transmitted an idea to the three female disciples in the Qi Xian period.
"Yes, elder sister."
Three people responded.
Needless to say, Qinglian Shengnv was also very curious. Soon, several more "escaped" little devils ran over to Lin Xi's side.
When the little devils increased to nine, Lin Xi finally had no choice but to use his magic sword.
"Clang!"
A white rainbow flashed, on Lin Xi's back, a sword aura burst out, transforming into a rainbow light, entwining with nine little devils.
Lin Xi takes the upper hand again!
When the "escaped" little devils increased to twelve heads, Lin Xi finally had some difficulty.
