Chapter 19: The Great Prison Refines the Demon (Part 1)

  Xiao Si held an umbrella, gently embracing the slender waist of his young wife, standing leisurely on a certain slope, shouting from time to time: "Xu Bangzhu has been killed, run away quickly!"

  "Oh no, Huā Yāo Niáng has defected and surrendered, she's going to be a daughter-in-law of the Qingcheng Sect——"

  He yelled even louder, "It's all over! Eagle Yang is going to make a name for himself by beheading Spotted Ancestor with one slash of his knife and then join the Will-Communicating Dart Bureau!"

  At this time, the four wilds were dark and foggy, and the old demon's men and horses could only barely know the situation around them with their spiritual awareness. They heard someone shouting and calling in their ears, and for a while, people were panicked and didn't know what to do.

  At the moment when Xiao Si was self-satisfied, he suddenly heard the old witch Bān Lán coldly laugh and say: "Little dog, are you having a lot of fun?"

  This old demon's cultivation is indeed impressive, and he has managed to sneak up to within three zhang of Xiao Si without being detected. The light from the Fēng Yáng Demon Slashing Knife shines brightly, sealing off all paths for Xiao Si to advance or retreat, with its blade wrapped in a dense, icy aura and countless vengeful spirits' resentment and anger directly slashing at Xiao Si.

  Xiao Si was completely unprepared and didn't have time to summon any talismans for protection, hastily and desperately urging the star energy within his body, both hands grasping the Wu Tian umbrella as he welcomed the attack from above.

  "Ka!" The seal of the sun demon knife chopped down on the umbrella surface, a burst of green light poured out from between the blades, drowning out the shimmering light on top of the umbrella.

  Fortunately, the umbrella was quite resilient and managed to withstand the old demon's slashing blow. The umbrella surface shook violently and dissipated more than half of the blade's energy, but it also left behind a shocking scar.

  Even so, Xiao Si was still hacked by this powerful knife and stumbled backward, his chest tight and blood churning nonstop. Although the wound on his face could be healed later, it would require a large sum of silver to do so.

  The spotted old demon's one slash failed to kill Xiao Si, who let out a low cry and raised his left palm to bury himself in close proximity, ready to strike again with another knife.

  Wan'er let out a clear shout and threw out twelve red dust bells, the crisp sound of the bells disturbing people's hearts, shooting towards the mottled old demon.

  The old monster flipped his palm, revealing the flag that summoned the wind and rain. With a loud "whoosh", a fierce gust of wind blew out, causing the twelve red dust bells to be blown askew and unable to right themselves.

  Xiao Si grasped the gap and pressed down the surging qi and blood, flinging out two white crane-shaped darts.

  It's indeed a case of getting what you pay for, the snowflakes cut like knives through the howling and screaming stormy winds, splitting from left and right **and stabbing towards the mottled old demon's chest.

  The mottled old demon let out a low hum from his nose, the Sealing Sun Devil Blade sank down fiercely, and with a flick of his wrist in front of his chest, he drew out a wheel of emerald sun.

  A white crane spreads its wings and shoots into the emerald sun, as if a clay ox had entered the sea, leaving no sound or trace behind, not even half a bit of residue remained.

  But this moment was enough for Xiao Si to launch a new round of counterattack, he urged the Pop Finger Thunder Symbol, his whole body was wrapped in a ball of divine light like thunder and lightning, with the momentum of destroying the dry and withering, it blasted towards the spotted old demon.

  The spotted old demon's green eyebrows slightly raised, put away the flag that summoned the wind and rain, and again used the Seven Killings Seal to charge forward and meet the attack.

  "Boom!" Two powerful forces collided fiercely, and Xiao Si's left arm was about to split as he let out a blood-curdling scream and flew backward.

  Look again at the old demon's back as he exits three steps, his body bursts open with a cluster of snow-white dazzling lightning. But soon, another surge of majestic green energy emerges from his body, and the lightning quickly dims, extinguishing star by star.

  Xiao Si's scalp was numb with shock, he hadn't expected that the old demon Bān Liǎo's cultivation would be so much higher than Jian Yong and Shang. With the same Finger Flicking Thunder Symbol, the latter was beaten like a dog and fled in disarray, but this old toad only had some smoke coming out of his nose and a few more holes in his robe!

  But he didn't know that the old demon had a bitter tale to tell, one of the nine ultimate treasures of Qingcheng, the Thunderbolt Symbol, wasn't just a gentle ornament. Wave after wave of heavenly thunder energy churned inside him, tearing apart the demonic aura, almost causing his throat to burst with blood!

  He was furious and laughed, on the one hand secretly operating his skills to unblock his meridians, on the other hand raising the Sealing Sun Demon Knife and making a false show of strength: "Little dog, if you have the ability, come again, Ben Jun will see what else you can play with?"

  Unfortunately, he was wrong, and very wrong at that. Xiao Si didn't fear his bluffing, and there were still many tricks up his sleeve; not only was there another Thunderbolt Finger Seal in the jade tube, but also the treasures hidden within the Dragon Binding Belt had yet to be revealed.

  Xiao Si was considering whether to try Tang Xiao San's Beidou Tiangong, when suddenly a loud voice boomed from above: "Old, old monster, take a hammering from me!"

  In an instant, a fierce gust of wind swept down, bringing with it a chill that seemed to freeze the air. Li Yuanba descended from mid-air, his massive fists flying towards Handong like a pair of golden hammers, pounding him mercilessly on the head and face.

  It's just that his arithmetic was obviously not learned well when he was young. He had just said it was a good deal, but what fell down were two big hammers.

  The spotted old demon was shocked, and didn't know where this sharp-mouthed, thin-as-a-matchstick Lei Gongzi came from. With a turn of his double hammers, the winds and clouds gathered, and the thunderbolts flashed wildly - he was actually a top-notch master!

  He couldn't help but suppress his vital energy and clear the meridians, hastily wielding his knife to chop out a powerful blow that clashed heavily with the Golden Drum's solid strike.

  "Clang——" The long, sonorous sound of metal striking stone echoed through the air. Li Yuanba's golden hammer flew high into the air as he shouted: "You damned green oil slick!" He gnashed his teeth and shook his fist repeatedly, clearly having suffered a small setback.

  But the old demon's loss was even greater! The Sealing Sun Blade in his hand was smashed by the double hammers, causing it to flip and twist, and his entire right arm almost turned into a twisted mess. The blood in his throat finally spurted out as he had wished!

  If we talk about real cultivation, the old demon had broken through to the state of sitting in stillness more than a decade ago. Li Yuanba, on the other hand, was only a junior who had just recently advanced to the Tongyao realm and was expelled from Qingcheng Mountain by his master. Therefore, no matter what, he shouldn't have lost this round.

  Helpless, the situation forced him to be strong. He deserved it, the old monster was unlucky today. Just after barely surviving the Thunderbolt Seal, he hadn't even caught his breath yet when Li Yuanba rushed onto the battlefield and smashed him with a hammer.

  His cultivation realm was slightly inferior to that of the old demon, but his innate talent and profound pure skills were not inferior to those of an ordinary top master. In a fierce battle, he managed to make the old demon spit blood.

  The two men clashed hard and didn't use any tricks, for a time neither of them had the strength to launch a second attack.

  Xiao Si saw Li Yuanba rush over and his heart finally felt at ease, he couldn't bear to take out the Beidou Tian Gong bow again.

  As a result, a brief stalemate formed between the few people on the battlefield. The spotted old demon was confident in his superior cultivation and believed that his recovery speed would surpass Li Yuanba and Xiao Si. Therefore, he was even less anxious to take action, concentrating all his energy on operating his Qi: "Wait for me to unblock my right arm meridian, I will definitely swallow these two little brats alive!"

  The thought had just occurred when suddenly someone behind him said, "Wú Liàng Tiān Zūn, has Brother Há Mǎ not come in good health?"

  The old variegated monster heard the sound and suddenly became spirited, sternly shouting: "Ye Fashan!"

  More than 40 years ago, the old demon Ban Lian broke through the realm of Zuòzhào and slaughtered many young women in Nanhuang to obtain their virgin yin energy, which eventually enraged the righteous cultivators from various sects who joined forces to attack him.

  On that day, he met Ye Fashan on a narrow road, and at that time, the thief's Taoist skills were not yet complete, and he was not an opponent of the colorful old demon. Unfortunately, the Ye family from Zhongnan Mountain had a large family business, and what they lacked least was elixirs and treasures. Coincidentally, this thief Taoist was also the smallest among the five true ones in Zhongnan, and his four masters treated him with great affection, filling him with spiritual elixirs, magical medicines, and talismans, fearing that their younger brother would have a slight mishap on his journey to the south, and Master Lei's anger would be unstoppable.

  Ye Fashan was pouring the elixir into his mouth like eating beans, while taking out all sorts of magical treasures and talismans, each one being a rare and precious treasure from the immortal realm.

  Poor Bān Lán the old demon was originally a toad from the southern wilderness who cultivated the Tao, without a master or parents, a complete grassroots family with no backing or support. How could he compete with Zhōngnán Mountain's young junior brother who had a powerful background and strong connections?

  Two men fought fiercely for three days and three nights. At first, the old variegated demon was chasing after Ye Fashan's buttocks, but from the second night on, it became the thief Lao Dao beating him until he fled in all directions with his butt rolling and urine flowing.

  It's not that the old monster isn't trying hard enough, it's just that he's already exhausted, but Ye Fashan is still chomping down on his dan pills, becoming more and more frenzied as he fights.

  The last dappled old demon was forced to exhaust its true yuan and release a killing move, finally scaring off the thieving old Taoist, who slunk back to his lair with wounds all over his body.

  From then on he worked hard and finally broke through the realm of sitting still, advancing to the top ranks of the highest masters.

  Helpless, the old monster was really afraid of being beaten by Ye Fashan, and he hid in the south for more than 40 years. This time, to avenge his four apprentices, he put aside his cultivation and rushed to Jiangzhou, and also invited Eagle Yang Old Monster, Huayao Niang and other old friends, thinking that everything would be easy, but unexpectedly, the thief Lao Dao actually appeared here too!

  This blood-stained and worn-out bamboo is hard to write, the old demon suddenly floated and moved horizontally for five zhang. The corner of his eye glanced over and saw Ye Fashan holding a dustpan with a smile: "Almost forgot, I haven't thanked Brother Ha Ma in person yet."

  The old monster with mottled fur was taken aback and said: "Thank me? Why?"

  Ye Fashan smiled and said, "If you hadn't stepped forward, where would my Taoist temple have come from?" As he spoke, the dust in his hand suddenly surged more than five zhang high, like a heavenly river of crystal clear water flowing with swirling energy, rushing straight at the old demon.

  "Ye Fashan, how dare you disregard your identity and engage in a fierce battle with me?!" The old demon's aura was urgent and defeated as he grabbed the Wind-Calling Flag and swung it with great effort, colliding with the Dust-Sweeping Brush with a loud crash.

  Ten thousand snow-white dust motes fluttered and flew up like startled geese, Ye Fashan's body swayed back and forth as he laughed loudly: "Yuan Ba retreat, watch how I will beat this old toad until it reveals its true form!"

  Li Yuanba spat and said: "Dad first... came, he is dad's dish!" The double hammers collided with a loud "Ka Cha Ka" sound, and a string of thick, golden light flashed towards the mottled old demon, slashing him fiercely.

  The house leaks just in time for the continuous rain at night, and the crimson lightning in the high sky gradually turns into silence, becoming more and more sparse, with much less power, but combined with Li Yuanba's "Thunder God Fury", it is a perfect match of yin and yang thunderbolts.

  The old monster was so exhausted that it could only wave its flag to summon the wind and rain, roll up the thunder and shake off the lightning, gritting its teeth to hold on.

  Ye Fashan angrily said: "Little monkey, you dare to compete with me for the Daoist temple?!" He swiftly closed in on Banban Old Demon, his dust-sweeping sleeves fluttering and spinning, creating layer upon layer of dazzling whirlpools, like a gigantic windmill capable of absorbing and devouring all things in the world.

  The spotted old demon was already struggling to cope with any one of them, how could he withstand the joint attack of Zei Lao Dao and Li Yuanba? With a chill in his heart, the green light in his body burst out and shot straight up to his brain, and he shouted loudly: "Is there such a reason?! Today, I will fight you all to the death!"

  A brilliant light burst forth from his crown, three lotus flowers and five auras shot up into the sky. It turned out that he had sacrificed his primordial spirit to break through!
