"Of course I know him. He has some grudge against me."
Chen Yun frowned slightly, then looked into the distance with a strange expression and answered calmly.
In the distant escaping light, a man with a sallow complexion and wearing a yellow robe is the Linghu Patriarch of the Huangfeng Valley.
The other pale, grim-looking woman in white was the grand elder of the Yanyue Sect and Nangong Wan’s senior sister.
Chen Yun was quite shocked that these two people had also come to the Demon Valley!
I hadn't noticed them entering the valley before. Obviously, they didn't enter in disguise, or deliberately stay behind to enter the valley.
The two of them now had fear on their faces and tried their best to drive their escape lights to escape.
Even though there was no one chasing them, they seemed to feel that they were being followed and were unwilling to stop.
Chen Yun was quite puzzled by this. But these two people were quite strong.
Patriarch Linghu is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and Senior Sister Nangong Wan is also very powerful.
It's unbelievable that such powerful people can appear so nervous when joining forces!
Why was it Master Mulan or the divine master named Zhong who was chasing him so closely?
Thinking about this, Chen Yun's heart sank.
His relationship with Mulan's magicians is like fire and water. He has repeatedly sabotaged Mulan's operations, and many high-level Mulan magicians have died tragically in his hands.
If you meet a divine master named Zhong, you will definitely not be able to escape.
So Chen Yun no longer hesitated. He moved, and while the two people in the distance were not paying attention, he quietly moved to Zi Ling's side.
Without waiting for Zi Ling to ask, Chen Yun clasped his hands together, a bright light flashed, and a blue cloud appeared above the two of them and gently fell down.
The figures of Chen Yun and Zi Ling gradually dissipated in the green light and disappeared.
At this moment, two beams of light in the distance just arrived at the top of the hill where Chen Yun was.
The gloomy face of Patriarch Linghu was clearly visible.
Suddenly, Chen Yun's eyes flashed, and he gave the two of them an instruction a hundred feet behind him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Where are you going? Are you going to abandon even your companions?"
"Humph, you are quite powerful, and your souls are extremely refined, which is exactly what I need. How can I let you leave so easily? There is no doubt this time, so why don't you surrender quickly!"
He hurled curses and abuses without any restraint, his voice shaking the surroundings and could be heard by all the monks around him.
Immediately afterwards, where Chen Yun was staring, a ray of black light appeared behind the two beams of light.
The black light flickered, unpredictable and strange.
Every time it appears, it shortens the distance to the escaping light in front.
In the blink of an eye, the black light had approached Linghu Patriarch and the other two, only fifty or sixty feet away.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the black light. Although it was blurry, Chen Yun still tried to concentrate and observe.
However, the mysterious power and skills hidden in the black light were beyond Chen Yun's cultivation level, making it impossible for him to explore deeply with his spiritual sense.
Only a vague image can be roughly perceived.
This person's figure exuded a familiar aura. Chen Yun recognized him through simple speculation and was shocked in his heart!
"It's actually Nanlong Hou? Why is he here and acting so strangely?"
Chen Yun couldn't understand this.
It turns out that this person has been "demonized" by evil forces and is no longer the former Marquis of Nanlong.
Chen Yun had not yet realized that his body had been taken over by the evil spirit, so he was confused by the situation.
However, the powerful demonic energy emanating from him and his behavior of hunting down Elder Linghu and the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect alone.
This made him realize that something was not normal, so he decided to proceed with caution.
At this moment, the black light controlled by "Nanlong Hou" was only thirty feet away from the two people in front.
A sinister laugh came out of his mouth, and then the black light suddenly exploded, releasing a ball of thick black demonic energy.
The evil spirit quickly surrounded him, and then with a flash of light, Nanlong Hou disappeared without a trace in the black air.
The old man Linghu and the woman in white were closely following the actions of "Marquis of Nanlong".
When he suddenly disappeared, their faces dropped.
They stopped flying at the same time and each took out a magic weapon - a black ancient mirror and a yellow jade ruyi, forming a protective barrier.
In front of them, a black light flashed, and demonic energy erupted without warning, instantly covering an area of more than ten feet.
The figure of Nanlong Hou was looming in the black air.
"You know you can't win, but you still want to resist. You are really foolish and ignorant!"
Nanlong Hou sneered in the dark air and waved his hand seemingly nonchalantly.
Immediately afterwards, a huge crash was heard, and the protective light shield of the woman in white was hit by unknown energy.
She and the mirror flew seven or eight feet away before they could barely stabilize. The old man Linghu's face had already turned extremely pale.
"No matter who you are, you dare to borrow the flesh of others to be reborn and devour the Nascent Soul of a cultivator. You are so bold. Do you really think you can fight against all the cultivators who participated in this trip to the Fallen Demon Valley?"
"As far as I know, among the cultivators who entered this place this time, there are at least dozens of those who are at the Nascent Soul stage or above. Even if you are powerful, you will inevitably be defeated in the end."
Elder Linghu suddenly gave a stern warning.
"Dozens? That's great. I thought there were only a handful of human cultivators in the valley, but I didn't expect there are so many Nascent Souls for me to devour."
"It seems that I need to repair my soul first!"
Nanlong Hou remained unmoved, but responded with a sinister and ferocious smile.
With a loud bang, the black gas spread wildly and ran everywhere.
Then, a black shadow rushed out from the black air at an extremely fast speed and attacked the old man Linghu.
At this moment, the old man Linghu's expression changed rapidly. He did not have time to think about how to respond. He quickly operated the jade ruyi in his hand, which immediately increased the resistance of the protective shield by three times.
Immediately afterwards, he muttered something, and a small square seal burst out of his mouth.
Under the reflection of the sunset glow, it turned into a ball of green light and rushed straight forward.
With a loud "bang", the mysterious figure called "Nanlong Hou" sneered, swung his fist without hesitation, and hit the jade seal heavily.
The black light and the green light intertwined with each other, but between the contraction and expansion of the black gas, the rosy glow was completely defeated.
The jade seal flew back like an arrow and slammed into Elder Linghu.
Patriarch Linghu was greatly surprised. He quickly folded his hands and cast several spells in succession, barely able to block the jade seal that was approaching the shield.
However, it was precisely because of this slight delay that a pitch-black fist appeared silently in front of the shield and then smashed down fiercely.
The protective shield suddenly vibrated violently, and Patriarch Linghu felt a mountain-like pressure coming from the front, and he was thrown out along with the protective shield.
However, as an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, Ancestor Linghu has extremely rich experience in combat.
Before being knocked away, he quickly shook his sleeves and a blazing flying knife shot out first, heading straight for the "Nanlong Hou" who had just appeared.
The face of “Marquis Nanlong” was filled with darkness and he had a ferocious smile on his face.
When the flying knife turned into a bright light and slashed towards his head, he did not choose to dodge, but took a deep breath.
He opened his mouth towards the flying knife above his head, and a wisp of strange black and red flame gushed out.
As soon as the flying knife touched the black and red flames, it was immediately surrounded by the devilish flames. The red light on the flying knife let out a painful wail, and after only flashing a few times, it was swallowed up completely.
The flying knife's spiritual power was instantly lost, and it turned into a worthless piece of scrap metal and fell to the ground.
When Patriarch Linghu saw this scene, he was extremely shocked.
This flying knife may look ordinary, but it is actually the famous "Evil-Destroying Blade" in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.
It was a treasure that he had obtained with great effort, and it had a unique effect on destroying evil souls.
The "Marquis of Nanlong" in front of him was obviously possessed by some powerful evil spirit, which is why he used this blade when he was caught off guard.
Although he did not expect this treasure to kill his opponent easily, he did not expect it to be cracked so easily by the opponent, which shocked him greatly.
Just when Patriarch Linghu was terrified, the demonized "Marquis of Nanlong" did not wait for his body to completely stabilize, but shook his body slightly on the spot.
Then, his figure suddenly became thin and long like a python, and the upper part of his body just jumped slightly.
He then appeared in front of Patriarch Linghu in an extremely strange manner, swinging his fist and hitting him again.
Ancestor Linghu was knocked out again.
Once "Nanlong Hou" takes action, he will mysteriously appear below Linghu Patriarch, and repeat the same action again...
In just a short moment, Patriarch Linghu was unable to resist and was repeatedly knocked away like a sandbag.
That jade ruyi is indeed a top-level defensive ancient treasure.
Although the green light shield kept flashing, it was not shattered for a while under the impact of such a huge force.
This made "Nanlong Hou" utter a slight exclamation, but his attack did not stop. He kept throwing punch after punch without ever pausing for a moment.
At this moment, Patriarch Linghu's heart was filled with fear!
He is now just like Lu Weiying in the past. Every time he suffers a heavy blow, most of the spiritual power that has just gathered in his body will be dispersed.
Despite possessing extraordinary magical powers, he had no power to fight back.
After watching a dozen "bang bang" punches, the protective shield released by the jade ruyi finally began to tremble violently.
It began to deform and flicker, and Elder Linghu's heart suddenly jumped and sank.
When he saw the sinister smile on 'Nanlong Hou's' face and his body moving quickly.
One of his fists continued to swing violently, while the five fingers of his other hand were put together to form a hand knife, ready to attack at any time.
Obviously, he planned to deal a devastating blow to Patriarch Linghu the moment the opponent's protective shield was broken.
Patriarch Linghu looked ashen as he watched cracks appear on the protective shield. He clenched his teeth, reached into his arms and tightly grasped something, deciding to put his life at risk and fight a desperate battle with his opponent.
However, at this critical moment, a beam of colorful light descended from the sky without warning, enveloping the defenseless 'Nanlong Hou'.
'Nanlong Hou', who originally didn't care about it, suddenly felt his body heavy and his movements became extremely slow the moment the beam of light touched his body.
"Ok?"
Nanlong Hou couldn't help but let out a surprised sound, then glanced in a certain direction in the beam of light.
It turned out that the woman in white was holding up an ancient mirror in the distance, and a beam of colorful light was gushing out from the mirror.
Seeing this scene, a hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of 'Nanlong Hou'.
Faced with the sudden intervention of the woman in white, Patriarch Linghu seemed to have seized the opportunity for redemption.
He gave up the object he was holding in his arms without hesitation, and took advantage of the brief pause in the opponent's attack to quickly increase his magic power, turning into a bright light and fleeing the scene.
In a flash, he flew to the side of the woman in white and landed.
Ancestor Linghu had no time to express his gratitude. He rubbed his hands together first, then waved them upwards at the same time. Dozens of red talisman papers flew out and headed straight for the 'Nanlong Hou' who was still trapped in the colorful beam of light.
These talismans instantly reached the top of Nanlong Hou's head, and exploded one after another under the urging of Linghu Patriarch's spell.
Deafening roars continued, and large patches of red lightning and flames emerged and fell straight down.
"Nanlong Hou" only had time to release a wisp of black smoke to cover himself before he was engulfed by the overwhelming thunder and fire.
Although Patriarch Linghu knew that he could not completely destroy the opponent in this way, he still acted decisively, pinched his hands, and threw out a white three-pronged flying fork again.
It attacks in varying degrees of force.
The woman in white at the side was also not idle. She controlled the Ningguang Mirror to enhance the power of the light beam restriction.
At the same time, he flicked out two flying swords, one black and one white, and they turned into two dazzling rays of light and flew away.
Previously, Nangong Wan and Linghu Patriarch had had a fierce battle with 'Nanlong Hou'.
However, the results were not satisfactory and both of them suffered serious injuries.
At this moment, thunder and fire roared below the colorful beams of light, and spiritual light flickered unsteadily.
Just as Patriarch Linghu and the woman in white were fighting a life-and-death battle with 'Nanlong Hou' in mid-air, on the ground beneath their feet.
Chen Yun frowned and whispered to Dayan Shenjun. Chen Yun was puzzled:
"Could that guy who occupied Nanlonghou's body be the ancient demon you mentioned before?"
The Great Yan God replied:
"Besides these ancient demons, who else in this world can possess such powerful strength?"
"However, he was able to defeat two Nascent Soul cultivators simply by possessing others. This shows that this ancient demon is a high-level creature in the ancient demon world."
"Although you haven't used your true form yet, if you are unlucky enough to face it alone, I'm afraid your chances of winning will be very slim."
"Humph! With your current strength, even if you and I go into battle together, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat this cursed ancient demon."
"However, the many magical weapons and secret treasures you carry with you cannot be ignored!"
“Especially the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder. Even though it cannot match this ancient demon, it should be more than enough for us to escape!”
Lord Dayan smiled coldly and spoke with a slightly mocking tone.
Chen Yun smiled calmly and was about to respond when he heard Zi Ling's anxious voice asking from the side.
"Brother Chen! The situation is critical right now. Are you willing to help?"
Ever since the demonized Nanlong Hou showed up, Zi Ling has been shocked and hasn't said a word.
Seeing Chen Yun's unusual expression at this moment, he finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.
The powerful strength of this "Nanlong Hou" made the female cultivator tremble with fear. (End of this chapter)
