Chapter 112: The Heavenly Bird Soars, the Eagle Leaves the Flame, and the Heavy Eyelids

  The wooden gourd released, and the internal restriction linked to move. It itself also released a circle of Taiyi five-color divine light, which firmly locked the inner elixir of the Xīchuāo monster with the Pre-Heavenly One Qi Seizing Hand. Seeing the Xīchuāo monster pounce again, it was not afraid, although the opponent was a Dan Cheng (Elixir Formation) expert, but its divine powers were clear. With just one finger, the Minghe Xianjian (Sword of Clear Harmony) emitted a fierce red light, and the Dahua Zhen Fire (Great Splendid True Fire) blazed fiercely like a shooting star breaking through the void, or lightning piercing through the clouds, falling in front of the Xīchuāo monster. The flames wrapped around its long spear, burning it until the monster screamed in pain!

  The four great demon beasts were instantly surrounded, unexpectedly, they could only roar in anger, but there was nothing they could do.

  Among the four beasts, the easiest to deal with is still the Lizard Monster. Although it can withstand the four major curses, after all, it's not a cultivator. The Purple Thunder Dragon Curse unleashes a dense barrage of purple lightning bolts, the North Ming Water Curse releases icy divine light, the Longevity Curse manipulates the cycle of life and death, and the Ji Tu Lin Curse stirs up thirteen pillars of yellow sand crystals. Smoke and dust fill the air, making it seem like an intense battle, but it's not as fierce as the other battles in different locations.

  Although this rhinoceros has achieved internal elixir, its quality is not high. Moreover, it was controlled by Mu Yuan as soon as they met, which is unbearable. Although it was born with the ability to drive some thunder and lightning, it also poses no threat to Mu Yuan. The sword energy of Minghe flew around, and since the refinement of the vortex, Mu Yuan's swordsmanship has also made rapid progress. The aura of the vortex is condensed and refined, and the division of consciousness is even more subtle. The starlight comes and goes, and in the blink of an eye, it transforms into a vast and powerful sword net that covers the sky and the earth. With a loud rumble, it starts to rotate, revealing the magnificent Zhutian Dalian Sword Array!

  Nowadays Mu Yuan can finally wield a flying sword and display his extraordinary swordsmanship of "one sword gives rise to all laws"!

  Condensing energy into threads, sword energy differentiates, this is the powerful foundation of a single sword giving rise to all methods!

  The rhinoceros was trapped in the sword array, its long gun wrapped around itself, unable to move left or right. Mu Yuan had already slowly sent the inner elixir into the Black Water Gourd. At this moment, although the Black Water Gourd was only cultivated by Mu Yuan to a second-level seal during his leisure time, the overlapping arrays and the thick yuan energy inside made it unlikely to leak. With the Old Ancestor of Longevity presiding over it, there was no need to worry about any accidents!

  After taking the internal elixir, Mu Yuan finally put his mind at ease. The only thing that Xī Chū's monster relied on was this internal elixir. If it were in its hands, who knows what variables might arise? Now that the initiative is in his own hands, he took a glance and saw that the battle between White Wolf and Golden Corpse was extremely intense. Although White Wolf's strength was far inferior to Golden Corpse's, his knife skills were exquisite, sinister, and cunning, barely holding on.

  The mountain goblin's skin was thick and rough, its natural defense extremely powerful. With the addition of the unpredictable tidal currents, it was a match for the ape-like monster in both strength and technique. The blue wood thunder sword in its hand shone brightly, steadily suppressing its opponent!

  The Lizard Monster was initially struggling against the yellow sand crystal pillar of the Earth Dragon's Curse, but the iron fan in his hand could produce various gusts of wind. Later, he found a way to use a gentle and soft breeze to disrupt the Earth Dragon's Curse, and then he unfolded his magic, spewing out toxic water, swinging it around, forcing all four major curses back!

  The four great mantras, although condensed from the true energy of various elements, were a divine ability that Mu Yuan was familiar with. These great mantras could also be used in the same way, but their power was far inferior, after all, this mantra was still very weak. Mu Yuan saw it clearly and didn't rush, he just shook the Minghe Xianjian sword repeatedly, and the Zhutian Dalian Sword Array produced endless changes, with a loud rumbling sound like thunder.

  The Rhinoceros Monster and the Lizard Monster were both covered in thick, hard skin. The sword energy unleashed by Mu Yuan crashed against the Rhinoceros Monster's body, leaving only a white mark behind. Although it was true that the Minghe Immortal Sword was not particularly effective at piercing armor, one couldn't help but acknowledge the monster's formidable defenses!

  Mù Yuán let out a cold laugh, his figure fluttering as he suddenly closed in, landing within the sword net. With both hands clenched into fists, he directly struck the back of the Xiǎo Tuó monster with a burst of purple lightning exploding open. The Dragon King's dynamic Purple Sky Thunderbolt Power was transmitted directly into the Xiǎo Tuó's meridians through Mù Yuán's double fists, causing widespread destruction. Even though this Xiǎo Tuó was born with the ability to control lightning, it was still overwhelmed by such a powerful and overbearing thunder power, and it frantically circulated its true energy to wrap around those bursts of lightning that came and went like electricity!

  Mu Yuan pointed with both hands, and the surrounding sword net suddenly compressed. The sword energy gathered into threads, surging and ringing, emitting a faint hum. A large number of them fell down, and Xi Zhua was internally and externally worried. At this time, he was pierced by the sword threads through his four limbs, destroying the muscles and veins inside his body. He could no longer support himself and fell from mid-air, smashing into the ground and kicking up a large cloud of dust!

  Mu Yuan naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and with a wave of his hand, he recalled the four great curses, pouncing forward like the wind. He began to devour the rhinoceros's vital energy, and the surrounding villagers saw this and suddenly released countless flying insects that landed on the rhinoceros's body. The sound of buzzing was endless, and in an instant, the huge rhinoceros was bitten empty!

  Withdraw the Four Great Curses, Mu Yuan has already merged with his body and pounced on it. The Minghe Xianjian transformed into a silver river-like light band, encircling the lizard monster, condensing itself in mid-air, staring intently at the lizard monster trapped by the Star River!

  Even the rhinoceros was killed by him, how could the lizard monster have the guts to fight with Mu Yuan? With a turn of his eyes, he hastily begged for mercy, "Fellow Taoist, spare my life! Please consider that our cultivation is not easy, and heaven has the virtue of giving birth to all things. Let me go!"

  Mu Yuan had seen his fair share of things, but a cultivator begging for mercy and a malevolent spirit were truly something he had never seen before. He was taken aback for only a moment before asking, "What is the origin of this 'Yao Sheng' you speak of, and what's going on with the beast tide in the southern barbarian mountains?"

  "The Lizard Monster hastily replied, 'As for that Demon Saint, we don't know what's going on either. Not long ago, a black-robed man suddenly descended upon this place, using his thunderous methods to conquer several powerful demon cultivators in the mountains. He said he wanted to lead all the demons under heaven and revive the ancient style. We're just small fries and don't understand much of the inside story. Anyway, that person has great magical powers and divine abilities, able to control countless beasts, which is what triggered the beast tide in the Great Mountain!'"

  "Ah," Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment, deep in thought. Suddenly, several swift and agile lights appeared on the horizon, flying rapidly towards them. Behind them was a dense flock of birds, seemingly eagles or hawks. The two women flying towards them were dressed in palace attire, with elegant features, but looked somewhat disheveled. Upon seeing Mu Yuan, they seemed surprised and hastily called out, "Fellow traveler, please lend my sister a helping hand!"

  Mu Yuan furrowed his brow, and among the flock of birds chasing after the two, a black-feathered eagle with a tuft of white feathers on its head stood out, towering above the other birds. Its eyes shone brightly, its beak was sharp, and its talons were strong, as if made of iron and steel. Its wings spread wide, and it looked truly majestic.

  "Fly Eagle King!" The lizard monster suddenly became excited, shouting loudly, and with a wave of its iron fan, a fierce gust of wind rushed towards Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan dodged to the side, but retracted his sword light, and the surrounding starry river immediately churned up, rolling and compressing towards the center. The lizard monster had originally intended to attack Mu Yuan, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to escape, but unexpectedly, this Bright River Immortal Sword was formidable, not allowing him to escape. A massive suction force emanated from within the starry river, accompanied by countless fine, star-like sword auras rubbing against each other. The lizard monster, caught off guard, had its legs sink into the river, and was entwined by the sword light. Even with its thick skin, it could not withstand the immortal sword's strike, and let out a miserable cry, using its iron fan to support itself as it desperately fled outward!

  Mu Yuan did not go after him, this suddenly arrived Flying Eagle King, with an aura that was mysterious and unpredictable, like a vast ocean, made him dare not to be careless, holding his sword and standing still, concentrating his mind to wait!

  That flying eagle commanded the flock of birds, but transformed into a majestic middle-aged man with facial features as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, revealing his extremely tough character. Seeing the white wolf and the ape struggling, his eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly burst out with sword energy, like lightning flashing and thunder moving. Mu Yuan did not expect that this flying eagle king would be so divine, but it was those two female cultivators who had seen the flying eagle king's magic before, knew the reason, flew to block in front of Shan Xiao and Jin Shi, blocking off this wave of sword light!

  Mu Yuan let out a loud shout, his four great curses retracting into his body and transforming into four strange lights that revolved around him non-stop, like a spinning wheel of electricity. The Minghe Immortal Sword was like a calm autumn lake, rippling with colors.

  "Be careful of his 'Lí Huǒ Chóng Tóng Jiàn', it's extremely insidious! This monster has already reached the level of Dan Cheng!" The two female cultivators reminded, causing Mù Yuán's heart to skip a beat. He had also heard of Lí Huǒ Chóng Tóng Jiàn, which was a technique that involved cultivating one's eyes and emitting sword energy without making a sound, making it extremely difficult to defend against. Who would have thought that this Flying Eagle King in front of him actually knew this skill?!

  "Fei Ying Wang, Xi Niu Lao Guai was killed by this young man, you can't let him go!" The lizard monster endured the pain, circulated his true energy to heal the wound, and lay slantingly on the iron fan, sweating profusely as he shouted loudly.

  "Oh?" The Flying Eagle King's eyes shone brightly, "Actually able to kill the Rhinoceros Monster, quite some skill!" At first hearing the news of the Rhinoceros Monster's death, the Flying Eagle King was somewhat surprised, but immediately regained his usual calm expression, which instead made Mu Yuan take it seriously!

  "Then let's try my Li Huo Chong Tong sword!" The Flying Eagle King's eyes flashed, and two swift sword auras came rushing forward. Mu Yuan was already on guard, his wrist flipped, and the Minghe Xianjian's sword light surged violently, its true energy bursting forth in a wave of fiery red light. The Dajin True Qi sword aura collided with the Li Huo Chong Tong sword aura, flames flashing, strange radiance bursting forth. Mu Yuan took a step back, and the Minghe Xianjian transformed into a brilliant rainbow light, slashing forward directly!

  Fei Ying Wang being a successful cultivator of the Refining Qi Pill, Mu Yuan's original thought was to bully it for not having a powerful magical weapon in hand. The Ming River sword light surged violently, and the star balls rubbed against each other, generating endless true fire that poured down from the sky like a tide, covering everything!

  Those two female cultivators had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, and as soon as they saw the two men take action, they also let out a tender shout, each releasing a copper ring with ancient seals on it, carved with several lifelike flower snakes. As soon as they were released, the flower snakes on the copper rings seemed to come alive, twisting and turning, darting upwards with swift agility!
