Su Zixi's combat strength was quite good. His Three-Foot Green Peak was unstoppable, and he easily killed a few God Servants with a casual sweep.
Dark blood danced in the air. Broken limbs were scattered all over the ground. Some Followers had their legs cut off. They were rolling around on the ground, screaming. The scene was chaotic and horrifying.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
The patrolling prefectural army immediately came over, along with many deities to help.
They could not allow any demonists to escape or else the demonic energy on them would infect other warriors.
"What?"
A prefecture warrior rushed over. While killing the Followers, he looked around. Seeing that Lu Li was not here, the prefecture warrior asked Su Zixi, "Where is that Li Lu?
How dare he run away? "
Su Zixi had already thought of a plan. Pointing to the mountain, he answered with a straight face, "Li Lu is fighting the demonists over there. Just now, there were too many demonists. He lured some of them away.
Otherwise, I would not have been able to deal with them on my own. The army of demonists is already out. "
The prefecture warrior looked toward where Su Zixi was pointing. Though he could not see clearly, he could hear noises of fighting.
The immortals that came to help looked over. They were filled with respect. How could Lu Li be so desperate to bring a large number of demonists into the mountain?
Was he not afraid that he would be infected by the demonic energy?
All the demonists had a dark air around them. Nobody dared to come close. If they were infected by the demonic energy, they would turn into something like the Followers, neither human nor ghost.
Their souls would degenerate and eventually become the walking dead, killed in the wild.
"Nonsense!"
That prefecture warrior shouted but said nothing more. After all, Lu Li did not break the rules and did not run away.
"Swish ~"
More and more immortals were coming. The army of demonists and Followers kept coming. However, they were being killed one by one.
None of the Followers had become immortals. If they were infected, their abilities would be weakened. If a group of immortals could not even defeat the Followers, then their years of cultivation would have been in vain.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, two prefecture warriors in blue armor dashed out from the mountain on the left. Su Zixi took a look and saw bird-eyed Li Qiang among them.
"Hmm …"
He put on a mocking smile. A prefecture warrior was plotting against Lu Li, a newly ascended immortal?
If Lu Li were to stay here to guard, he might suffer from Li Qiang's sneak attack. He wouldn't even know how he died.
Or, he could summon a group of Followers to make the situation even more chaotic. By then, he could easily assassinate Lu Li.
Li Qiang glanced over to Su Zixi and the others. Realizing that Lu Li was not here, Li Qiang glared at the prefecture warriors with wrath.
The Official Army guarding here looked at the mountain range in the distance and winked at Li Qiang. Li Qiang understood and waved to the Official Army beside him, "You help here. I'll go take a look at the other side. It looks like they can't hold on any longer."
After Li Qiang finished speaking, he turned around and entered the black mist.
Su Zixi pursed his lips and looked into the depths of the mountains, murmuring in a voice that only he could hear, "Brother Lu, the pursuers are coming!
Whether or not you can survive this calamity will depend on your luck. "
…
Lu Li did not go into the depths of the mountains. Instead, he hid in a ravine.
His idea was simple. He would hide here and come out openly after the battle. Naturally, the bird-eyed man would not dare to kill him in public.
It was not without danger for Lu Li to come in. On the contrary, it was very dangerous.
First of all, the mountains were filled with black mist. This was not regular black mist, but demonic energy.
Once Lu Li was affected by the demonic energy, he could become a demonist, a walking dead like those from the Sect of Supernatural Beings. In the end, he would be killed mercilessly.
Lu Li had thought about this. When a person was demonized, it was not important that the person was demonized. The person could be expelled at any time.
What mattered was the soul. When a person's soul was demonized, that person would become a slave to the demon and a demonist.
When it came to souls, Lu Li was confident!
In his soul, there was a silver dragon that never let him down. That was why Lu Li had the courage to go into the mountains.
The demonic energy was the first danger. The second was the demonized immortals. If Lu Li ran into them, there would be a fierce battle and he could be killed.
The third danger was Li Qiang. Li Qiang would try his best to hunt Lu Li down.
The mountains seemed to be large. Given Li Qiang's speed, it would not take him long to search the entire mountain and find Lu Li.
"Should I stay here or go into the mountains?"
Lu Li stayed in the ravine. He made Stone Golems quickly. He had learned the third level of the Method of Stone Golems.
Those Stone Golems were not strong, but they could confuse the situation and buy him some time, which would give him a chance to take advantage of.
If Lu Li dashed into the mountains to find the prefecture warriors, Li Qiang would not have the courage to kill Lu Li in front of so many prefecture warriors even if he caught up.
That being said, Lu Li could easily run into powerful demonists in the mountains. There was another possibility — should Li Qiang take action by force, should Lu Li fight back or should he accept death?
If Li Qiang fought back, Lu Li must take out the immortal's body.
Once the immortal's body was exposed, Lu Li would be in bigger trouble. If Commander Ye wanted the immortal's body, Lu Li would die for sure.
"Never mind. I will wait here. If Li Qiang comes, I will put up a desperate fight."
Lu Li made Stone Golems quickly and let out the Deaf Taoist. He also let the immortal's body out of the Wicked Bead and put it into an Interspatial Ring.
After all this was done, Lu Li waited quietly.
He took long breaths. His face was emotionless, but inside, he was extremely nervous.
To be a prefecture warrior, one must have special skills and abilities higher than an average immortal. Otherwise, one would not be qualified to be a prefecture warrior.
Inevitably, some of the dark fog seeped into Lu Li's body. Some of the dark fog was seeping into his soul.
"Buzzing ~"
After a moment, the silver knife in Lu Li's soul glowed. The dark energy was all consumed by the silver dragon.
"Okay."
Lu Li could put his mind at ease. At least, the demonic energy could not corrupt him. He could put up a good fight.
He had chosen a good hiding spot. It was in the middle of the mountains with trails on both sides.
More and more Followers came down, but they were heading toward the two trails. Lu Li restrained his energy. None of the Followers came toward him.
"Oh no ~"
A moment later, in the distance, an old man climbed over the mountain and dashed toward Lu Li.
Judging by the speed of that man, he must be more powerful than an average immortal.
That old man was surrounded by the dark fog, and his body was covered in black blood. He must be a powerful warrior from the Sect of Supernatural Beings who had broken through the encirclement.
"What?"
Before the old man got close, he had already seen Lu Li with his blood-red eyes. Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. That man was charging toward Lu Li in a frenzy.
"Deaf Taoist, go and stop him. Don't be corrupted!"
Lu Li waved his hand. At the same time, he mobilized over a dozen Stone Golems to stop the old man.
Lu Li wanted to see if he could stop the old man or lure him away. Otherwise, the battle here would attract the attention of prefecture warriors nearby.
"Hmm, the Region of Doom is next to the Realm of Demons. I might be afraid if it is a powerful demon.
The demonic energy of this demonist cannot harm me. "
The Deaf Taoist bellowed into the sky. He grew into a giant with a height of more than one hundred feet and dashed toward the demonists fearlessly.
"Sh * t, will you die if you don't act tough?"
