Chapter 368: Chapter 265 Joint Demon Extermination_2
The dog’s body has exploded!
The Demon God’s dog body was shattered by astonishing Dao power, scattered in all directions! Amid the rain of flesh and blood that turned to ashes, the old farmer who had sunk into a horse stance had already finished gathering his strength!
"Two hundred thirty layers of Gang Fist."
Wei Ji God Monarch raised his head to look, without needing to think much, directly aiming at the sword path opened by the Wind Escape, pointing straight at the Demon Head, he unleashed a punch!
"Heaven! Demon! Beng——!!"
"Boom——!"
"Awoooo ahhhh——!"
The Gang Fist bombardment, with its utmost rigidity and yang, pulverized its target, executing demons with supreme power!
In the blink of an eye, fists and feet combined, four Demon Gods were exterminated!
And Tie Dan also descended from the sky, continuously watching. Only after seeing the Demon Head blasted to ashes by the punch, did he turn and ride the wind to land.
From afar, the demon hordes surrounding the mountain were already terrified and in disarray, scattering in all directions. Under Wei Ji God Monarch’s domineering and ruthless bombardment and suppression, the siege on Jing Mountain was easily resolved.
"Ah~~ young friend, you truly please me~~"
Wei Ji God Monarch was overjoyed, his expression brimming with delight. It truly was the lightest demon extermination he had ever encountered.
Tie Dan was speechless,
"The God Monarch’s skills are formidable, with astonishing combat prowess. Even without my help, defeating those four Great Demons wouldn’t have been a problem, right?"
Wei Ji God Monarch was not modest,
"If the Demon Clan came in full force, I would be the Mystic Sect to resist them. But if it were just these four Demon Gods, along with a hundred thousand followers, I could easily exterminate them."
Tie Dan frowned,
"Then why not come out of the mountain and simply wipe them out directly?"
Joining forces to exterminate demons, fighting side by side, Wei Ji God Monarch did not hide from Tie Dan and explained,
"You know one part but not the other. If all our Mystic Sect came together in full force, of course, we could annihilate the demon hordes. But now the Demon Clan is flourishing, and the resurgence of demon calamities is a decree of heaven. Demons won’t be exterminated for good; instead, they will gather even more fiercely.
Now these demon embryos are not yet formed, and killing them won’t serve much purpose. Slaying demons all day also delays cultivation, yielding little harvest, and the karmic burdens will fall upon our Mystic Sect disciples. Future heavenly tribulations will become increasingly difficult to pass, truly a losing deal.
After all, how many disciples can deal with such Great Demon Gods as you do? We have to step in ourselves.
But if every calamity were resolved by us old folks, taking up all the opportunities and Daoist materials, in the long run, it wouldn’t be healthy either.
When the older generation ascends and reincarnates en masse, while the younger generation fiercely resists the Demon Tide, suffering heavy losses, our Mystic Sect’s fate will also be exhausted."
Tie Dan was momentarily silent, understanding why these old fellows were reluctant and lacked motivation.
Wei Ji God Monarch smiled,
"Human strength sometimes reaches its limits, and we cannot forcefully go against heaven. Moreover, each generation has its own debts. This Daoist demon calamity is a disaster that all under heaven must face.
If they don’t experience it for themselves, to undergo some trials, they would still be living in drunken dreams, slaughtering one another, unable to understand the unsentimental ways of heaven and the fragility of life and death. How can they then forge ahead and pursue the Great Dao?"
Seeing the conversation reach this depth, Tie Dan refrained from persuading further.
Tie Dan certainly disagreed with letting the demons enter the Central Plains, oh, just to devour hundreds of thousands of people to let the world learn a lesson and wake up? Isn’t that ridiculous?
But how can you change the mind of an old Mystic Sect like Wei Ji God Monarch, whose worldview has been fixed for millennia?
Just think, these people have genuinely withstood millennia of hardships, braved one heavenly thunder after another, and tempered themselves through blood and battle. This little invasion of tens of thousands of demons, what is that to them?
They might even see it as some Spirit Communication Secret Realm opening, a time-limited event to gain merits and earn Soldier Repelling Coins...
Oh, speaking of which...
"Senior, since I saved your sect’s disciple just now, can I get a Soldier Repelling Coin?"
"My sect’s disciple? Oh, that human stick just now."
Wei Ji God Monarch nodded,
"Yes, and since you also helped me eliminate the four demons, I shall report to Cloud Platform Peak to give you a total of five."
Tie Dan’s eyes lit up,
"Senior, your Returning Dust Taoism is truly admirable and awe-inspiring. Might I exchange it for the Returning Dust Qi Technique?"
Wei Ji God Monarch smiled widely,
"No."
Tie Dan immediately frowned.
Wei Ji God Monarch’s smile did not fade,
"Your swordsmanship is exceptional. How could you have any mind for refining my skill? If you really deciphered my Qi Gong Secret Technique, how could my disciples from Wangwu Mountain survive in Jianghu? No, no."
Tie Dan was also speechless, and had no choice but to settle for less,
"Then a Top Grade Gui Chen Qi Refining Technique will suffice for me to infer and deepen my Sword Dao."
Wei Ji God Monarch still shook his head,
"Anything that can be offered in exchange, the sect has its rules. My Daoist Skill already has a successor, and I have nothing to give you. Wait until the Soldier Repelling Coin is distributed, and redeem it yourself.
Alright, enough about this. Weren’t you escorting some refugees? Go and collect them quickly, I will carve a path for you."
This old guy was stalling, evading the issue, leaving Tie Dan with no option but to handle the urgent matters first.
As demons poured south from the North, Jing Mountain could no longer be defended. Now that the demon hordes were shocked and fleeing in panic, opening up the way for survival, Tie Dan quickly notified the refugees to move south toward Yan Zhi Mountain to seek refuge.
Anyway, if there’s blame for withdrawing the array and retreating, Tie Dan would bear it. Wei Ji God Monarch did not mind, assigning some burdensome disciples from Wangwu Mountain to escort the refugees, while he stayed at Jing Mountain, holding the line with Tie Dan.
Though unwilling to impart the Qi Kung secret manual, it was permissible to give some pointers to the pleasing younger generation. Thus, the two stayed to hold the line at Jing Mountain, practicing and sparring together, devising a few sets of cooperative dual-fighting routines and secret signals. By the next morning, they awaited the first wave of demon pursuers.
