Chapter 1627: All Means Are Used (Third update, please guarantee the minimum monthly ticket)
Although the suction force emitted by the cloud crown is strong, it cannot immediately absorb the demon into it.
The huge head was moving closer and closer to the cloud crown, but it was still struggling desperately.
The illusory demon struggled helplessly while making all kinds of promises.
From spiritual stones and magic weapons to opportunities and Taoist rhymes... as long as it is what the immortal cultivator needs, there is nothing it dare not promise.
In the end, the divine thoughts it sent out were no longer coherent, but intermittent and chaotic, and could not convey complete information.
And Qu Jianlei's face gradually turned pale - there was no other way, this cloud crown consumed too much spiritual energy.
In fact, it was not a problem with the magic weapon. He had already completed the ritual of refining the cloud crown. It was just that the struggle of the demon was too intense.
And this is while it is experiencing attacks from others.
Qu Jianlei even felt that this guy should not be in the Nascent Soul stage - his cultivation level is probably just that of the Out-of-Body stage, right?
Considering the combined combat power of our side currently present, it shouldn't be that difficult to defeat a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage, right?
No matter what, things have come to this point and he can only try his best to persevere.
He took out a handful of capsules and stuffed them into his mouth, while issuing commands, "Flawless crystal, light talisman, and gold digger... quick!"
He has included all the young fire spirits in his combat power. It really is... the critical moment.
The huge head was still approaching the cloud crown little by little.
Half an hour later, the original spiritual energy in Qu Jianlei's body was basically exhausted.
Now his body is filled with spiritual energy that was temporarily transformed from the ten thousand year old stone milk. It is extremely weak and there is not much of it left.
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this situation is very rare.
The spiritual energy in the Nascent Soul's body cannot be said to be endless, but it is not uncommon for a battle to last for ten or eighteen years.
In just half an hour, his spiritual energy was consumed to this extent, which shows how intense the output was.
Seeing that the demon was getting closer and closer to the Cloud Crown, he weighed the spiritual energy in his body and stuffed another handful of ten thousand year old stone milk into his mouth.
"Spirit of the weapon, this thing... do you have any more?"
"I am just the steward of the cave, not omnipotent," the spirit replied helplessly, "This treasure needs years of accumulation."
"But if you work hard, you'll succeed soon!"
However, at this moment, the huge head suddenly shouted, "If that's the case, let's die together, by firestorm!"
Qu Jianlei didn't even blink as he continued to output spiritual energy - he couldn't believe even a single punctuation mark in the words of the False Demon!
He knew that the demon's self-inflicted fire was very powerful, and Yi He and Jiao Dao Ren had also mentioned this in the planning before the battle.
When the demons encounter a crisis, they may really become furious. They are cunning and treacherous, but they are not the cowardly ones.
After all, this is a very strange life form, born from nothingness and leaving no trace after disappearing.
Qu Jianlei did not suspect that the other party was making false threats - although this possibility objectively existed, he did not consider this factor.
He has already given it his all. He would rather suffer the devil's self-rage than give up at the critical moment.
If he gets hit by his own rage, he will definitely be seriously injured. In extreme cases, his foundation may be seriously damaged.
But so what? The battle had reached this point, and he would rather fight to the point of both sides being hurt than give up!
"You're fucking... crazy!" Countless eyes on the head stared at him fiercely.
"I'm warning you for the last time. Let go! Otherwise I'll really explode!"
Qu Jianlei's answer was to take out another handful of capsules and stuff them into his mouth. He didn't even pay attention to the other party.
——The demon is best at taking advantage of the opponent’s weakness. He will not give the opponent any chance to turn the tables.
The next moment, there was another muffled "Duang" sound, simple, heavy and endless.
"You forced me to do this..." The huge head kept twisting, "Then let's die together."
When Jing Yuexin heard such a threat, she became extremely anxious, but in the end she didn't say a word.
At this moment, no matter how much she felt sorry for the boss, she would not ask him to stop.
It’s not that she doesn’t value the boss, but in this world, fighting is fighting, and it has nothing to do with love.
Performing such tricks in battle will not only hurt others and yourself, but the key is that it will not achieve the goal.
Qu Jianlei remained unmoved and worked hard to output spiritual energy, but his face became paler and paler.
However, this time, the False Sky Demon seemed to be serious and his head suddenly swelled up.
"Get out of the way!" Qu Jianlei gave the order without hesitation, "Leave me alone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone stepped back, and the rapidly expanding head actually began to shrink rapidly again.
"Don't get close!" The weapon spirit said decisively, "The power of the demon's self-explosion is even greater!"
Qu Jianlei looked at the head without changing his expression, but he was muttering to himself.
The divination showed a mixture of good and bad luck... Where did the good luck go?
However, even if the auspicious omen does not appear, he will not regret his choice.
Once this horrible thing appeared in this world, it would be too scary.
He does not have the awareness of "worrying about the world before worrying about himself", but if his ability allows, he also hopes to prevent the suffering of the people.
I saw the head expanding and contracting rapidly, expanding and contracting...each time more violently than the last.
Every time, Qu Jianlei felt that the other party might have lost his temper, but would back off abruptly.
His intuition told him that this should be a way of storing energy. The more times it expanded and contracted, the more powerful the self-inferno would be.
However, so what? He raised his hand and slapped a defensive talisman on his body, continuing to output spiritual energy.
In fact, the defenses stacked on him are already more than enough.
The teammates who retreated couldn't do much either. Apart from long-range attacks, they just desperately inflicted various status effects on him.
Especially someone like Qing Hu, who did not participate in the battle from beginning to end, but already had eight layers of rock armor on him!
With such caring teammates, Qu Jianlei didn't think that Tianmo's self-inflicted anger would take him away.
I don't know how many times it expanded and contracted, but this time, the contraction speed was much faster than usual.
The next moment, the head expanded at an even faster speed, and finally...
"Is it coming?" Qu Jianlei's heart was as calm as water, and he just watched the scene indifferently.
At this moment, he even felt a little relieved - it was finally over.
This kind of torment cannot be felt at all unless one is in it.
However, the head expanded rapidly, but the power of the explosion was far less than that of a balloon. It just made a "pop" sound, like a deflated ball.
Then the head turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the cloud crown.
"That's it?" Qu Jianlei was a little confused for a moment. I was prepared to be seriously injured, but you were so violent that you exploded with such power?
"Isn't this another trick of the False Heavenly Demon?"
However, the next moment, everyone else looked up into the sky in astonishment, and Qu Jianlei also looked up.
An illusory human figure appeared in the space, so faint that it could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
This faint figure exudes an even fainter aura, but although this aura is inconspicuous, it has a different charm in it.
The figure nodded slightly to Qu Jianlei, releasing a weak spiritual wave, "Thank you very much, my friend. I wonder whose family this child is?"
Qu Jianlei didn't answer him at all, "Laoben, give it to me."
The next moment, a bolt of lightning exploded above his head - if we talk about tacit understanding in cooperation, we have to be old friends!
Qu Jianlei had too many defensive buffs stacked on him, so a lightning strike of this magnitude wouldn't cause much damage to him.
However, his meridians still felt numb for a moment, and then he nodded slightly, "Sure enough... it's not an illusion."
"I still have ice here," Old Lady Jia raised her hand and pointed at him, a strange chill blowing in her face, "Boss, don't offend the seniors!"
It wasn’t that the old lady wanted to be disrespectful to him, but everyone vaguely felt that this figure... was not to be messed with.
The other party's aura is very, very weak, but this does not mean that his cultivation is low.
Qu Jianlei shuddered from the cold air, then was stunned for a moment, guessing the deeper meaning behind the old lady's words.
Then he raised his hand and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am just a small cultivator from the mountains and fields. I am honored to meet you, Senior!"
"Little cultivator from the mountains..." The figure seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a faint mental force swept over.
"You two are an interesting team. I want to ask... Is this the Soul Control Technique? Why are you using it so messed up?"
The big snake coiled there, not daring to move at all. "Senior, I am a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect who has been stranded here."
When he met Qu Jianlei and his group, he still called them "Elder of the Beast Taming Sect", but now he only dares to call them disciples.
The reason is very simple. The other party is obviously a being above the Nascent Soul stage, so he doesn't dare to show off at all.
"Stranded here... a place without souls?" The figure seemed to remember something, "Is this really... the passage closed?"
"It's closed," Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "Senior, what state are you in?"
This was a bit rash, but he really didn't care - we haven't figured out what's going on between you and the devil yet!
If something was really wrong, he didn't mind beating this "senior" as well.
After all, he could die in battle, but he couldn't be fooled to death!
Moreover, a truly powerful senior would not mind such an offense, right?
"This is just a fragment of my soul," the figure replied casually, "it was originally dormant."
"But before I knew it, I was disturbed by the demon. By the time I found out, it was a little too late."
"Thanks to you guys for discovering the demon, I was able to escape during your fight."
"Escape..." Xizhao asked inconspicuously, "Senior, can you guarantee that you are not possessed by the devil?"
"You elf..." The figure almost wanted to scold this guy - do you know who you are talking to?
"Senior," the weapon spirit also emerged, "No matter what, we helped you get rid of the suppression of the demon, right?"
"You guys... who are you!" The figure was really losing his composure.
