Chapter 249 No Escape

"Suppress," the ancient mountain in mid-air said softly upon seeing this.

Instantly, the power of the giant array that had parted the clouds and altered the celestial phenomena was entirely suppressed towards the demonic qi vortex, and also suppressed the demonic qi attacking Xu Jingming! Under the suppression, all the demonic qi began to dissipate.

Holding his spear, Xu Jingming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He sensed that the attacking demonic qi was connected to the 'demonic qi vortex' and had all sorts of strange properties, which he might not have been able to withstand.

The group of Sky Demons also felt a lightness on their bodies as the suppressing force disappeared. One by one, they immediately took the opportunity to hide in the distance, looking at the ancient mountain in mid-air with some trepidation. They were also afraid of this level of confrontation.

"You can actually destroy the Demon Abyss I summoned," Li Jinge said, looking at the ancient mountain. "Even without the Demon Abyss, I can still kill you!"

"I've heard that the power of demons has no limit. The stronger the obsession, the more terrifying the power. Let me see how strong you are," Gu Shan said with a slight smile.

"As you wish."

Li Jinge's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly stomped his foot.

Boom!

The earth shook, and the giant formation within a ten-mile radius was subjected to a terrifying impact, and many cracks appeared. Li Jinge had already turned into a blur, instantly crossing the distance between them and arriving in front of Gu Shan.

"Hiss."

Gu Shan's sword at his waist was already unsheathed.

Xu Jingming watched attentively, his senior brother's combat skills were indeed above his own.

Although Li Jinge dodged, the sword still slashed at his neck, but his neck skin was extremely tough, without leaving a single scratch.

"Hmm?" Gu Shan's eyebrows showed a trace of surprise.

"Your sword is so fast, faster than mine," Li Jinge said softly, "But you can't even break my skin, how can you fight me?"

As he spoke, the man in green slashed lightly with his right hand like a knife.

The void was cut out with ripples, passing over Gu Shan's body.

Gu Shan's figure blurred, and he appeared behind the man in green, his sword already stabbing the man in green's back, but still failing to pierce the skin.

Whoosh.

Gu Shan's figure appeared in different directions around the man in green. His sword light either stabbed, slashed, picked, or poked. The man in green was obviously weaker in terms of moves, and he didn't block a single one.

"What footwork, what swordsmanship!" Li Jinge was a little annoyed. Although these sword lights couldn't break his skin, he still didn't like the feeling of being beaten without being able to fight back.

In his annoyance, pairs of arms grew out of Li Jinge's back, ribs, and other places, and a face grew out of the back of his head.

The two-faced and ten-armed Li Jinge attacked frantically in all directions.

Using quantity to make up for the weakness in his saber techniques.

"Clang!" Finally, his palm collided with the sword, touching the opponent's weapon. Li Jinge's palm exploded with all its power, and the collision with the sword was like the collision of two high mountains.

The collision produced visible shockwaves that spread in all directions.

The shockwaves affected the surrounding hundred meters before being suppressed and dissipated by the formation. Gu Shan frowned slightly as he looked at the sword in his hand, the blade of which had been damaged.

"Breaking through the limits of a Sky Demon, bestowed by Heaven and Earth," Gu Shan said, "What you gained is an indestructible body?"

Li Jinge looked at Gu Shan, "In this battle, I am invincible."

"Junior brother, you should hide further away," Gu Shan said with a frown, "This demon is a bit troublesome."

"Okay."

Xu Jingming immediately turned into a stream of starlight and hid in the distance.

Xu Jingming could see that both Senior Brother Gu Shan and the man in green had reached an extremely terrifying level. Senior Brother Gu Shan relied on a magical artifact for close combat, but the magical artifact was damaged, which showed how terrifying the demon's body was, even more so than divine weapons!

"Can the Venerable win?" The ten Sky Demons who had retreated into the distance were also very nervous.

"Didn't you see that the old man's magical artifact is damaged, and he can't hurt the Venerable in the slightest? In this battle, the Venerable may not win, but he won't lose either."

"As long as we can hold back this mysterious Subduing Demon, the other Subduing Demons in the entire Scarlet Cloud Prefecture will be nothing to worry about."…

At this moment, although wars were breaking out in other places as well.

However, the ninth-realm Subduing Demons and the terrifying Sky Demons were also paying attention to the battle between Gu Shan and Li Jinge.

In the eyes of those Sky Demons, the Sky Demon Venerable 'Li Jinge' was their leader, their reliance for daring to openly confront the Subduing Demons.

In the eyes of those ninth-realm Subduing Demons, Sect Leader Gu's reputation was far-reaching. If Sect Leader Gu couldn't resist that demon, then a terrifying demon might appear in this Subduing Demon world again.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Boom, boom!

Li Jinge was fully demonstrating the terror of his indestructible demonic body. His speed and strength were both above Gu Shan's.

His ten arms were either as sharp as divine weapons or as soft as flowing water, sometimes swelling to dozens of feet, sometimes forming a net, attacking Gu Shan frantically in various ways. As long as Gu Shan made a slight mistake, he would be captured alive.

No matter how strong Gu Shan was, he was still a ninth-realm Subduing Demon mage. This was also the limit of Subduing Demons.

But Gu Shan's realm was too high.

His combat skills were too superb, far surpassing Xu Jingming. Not to mention just one Li Jinge.

Moreover, the great divine powers that Gu Shan had created himself, and the magical artifacts he had refined, were very troublesome.

"Boom."

A large seal fell from the high sky. The seal was carved with mysterious runes. As soon as the seal appeared, the rain dissipated, the clouds dissipated, and even the stars retreated. Only the dazzling sun appeared.

The dazzling sun fell into the seal as if it was falling.

The seal was square, twelve zhang on each side, and suppressed with irresistible power. Li Jinge seemed very small under this seal. His ten arms tried their best to resist the seal.

"Boom—"

The great seal suppressed, and everything was irresistible.

The earth sank, and only a deep pit could be seen, with a large seal suppressing it.

"Hmph." The great seal swayed, and a figure flew out from under the great seal, it was Li Jinge with a bloody head.

"You can actually hurt me." Li Jinge stared at Gu Shan.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shan was surprised, "The extremely yang and extremely rigid Solar Seal can't kill you. It seems that I have to use softness to overcome rigidity. Go!" Gu Shan stretched out his left hand, and a black and white bracelet flew out from his wrist. After flying out, the black and white bracelet immediately decomposed into two chains.

One black chain and one white chain.

The black chain was endlessly long, connected to the darkness.

The white chain was endlessly long, connected to nothingness.

"Hmm?"

The chains entangled, and no matter how Li Jinge struggled, it was difficult to break free. He transformed into dozens of zhang tall for a while, and became small for a while. His ten arms were also struggling hard. But under the entanglement of the black and white chains, they formed a binding array with each other. Although it couldn't destroy Li Jinge's demonic body, it could seal all of Li Jinge's demonic qi, not allowing a wisp of demonic qi to escape.

Li Jinge was infinitely powerful, but he couldn't break the black and white chains.

"All Sky Demons, listen to my order, leave quickly, leave quickly." Li Jinge roared suddenly, his voice resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"The Venerable can't break the chains either."

"Let's go."

The faces of the ten Sky Demons in the distance changed, and they each used their means to escape.

"What?"

"The Venerable can't beat that old man?"

On other battlefields in Scarlet Cloud Prefecture, Sky Demons had been paying attention to the battle between Li Jinge and Gu Shan. When they discovered that Li Jinge was telling them to leave, they panicked and lost their fighting spirit.

"Withdraw."

"Go."

The Sky Demons quickly retreated.

After ordering his subordinates to flee, Li Jinge continued to struggle. Gu Shan also went all out to control the black and white chains, trying his best to restrain him. Finally, the black and white chains were wrapped around him in circles. After being locked twelve times, Li Jinge could no longer struggle.

All his demonic qi was sealed, his ten arms had degenerated into two arms, his face had also returned to one, and his height had returned to normal.

Under the entanglement of the twelve black and white chains, Li Jinge tried his best to stand firm, staring at Gu Shan: "What if you restrain me? You can't kill me."

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming had already arrived beside his senior brother.

"The power of demons has no limit." Gu Shan said to Xu Jingming with a smile, "The stronger the obsession, the stronger the demon. This indestructible demon body, I can't destroy it head-on. I can only trap him first, and then use the formation to slowly refine him to death."

Li Jinge's face changed when he heard this. The other party was confident that he could kill him.

"Senior brother just used at least six great divine powers." Xu Jingming exclaimed, "I admire you, I admire you."

"Without great divine powers, how could I capture him?" Gu Shan said, "This demon is still easy to deal with, he only has an indestructible demon body. I once encountered a demon who broke through the limit of a Sky Demon. He had as many as ninety-nine clones, and I had to destroy all his clones to kill him."

Xu Jingming was surprised.

After all, Senior Brother Gu Shan was over a thousand years old and had stayed in the Subduing Demon world for a long time. He had probably built multiple accounts and naturally encountered more demons.

"You can really kill me?" Li Jinge finally spoke.

Gu Shan looked at him, "I don't need to lie. You will know in two days."

Li Jinge was silent.

Once he was refined to death, his natal demonic qi would be sealed.

With the strength of the Subduing Demon 'Gu Shan' in front of him, even if he couldn't refine his obsession, it was estimated that his mind wouldn't be injured. In that case, he would be sealed forever.

"Subduing Demon Wu Ming." Li Jinge, who was bound by chains, looked at Xu Jingming, "Do you know me?"

"You?" Xu Jingming looked at him and shook his head in confusion, "I don't know you."

"You were quite famous in Cheng'an Prefecture. Many people moved to live near your Wu residence because they thought it would be safe around the Wu residence." Li Jinge said, "Who would have thought that the Dongming Mountain Lord would attack you, affecting an area of several miles around, and all the people would die miserably."

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned. Yes.

It was also because of this that he had no fixed residence from then on and had been wandering around.

"Among the countless people who died, there was my family." Li Jinge looked at Xu Jingming, "My whole family was implicated by you."

Xu Jingming was silent.

"I know, I can't blame you. It was the Dongming Mountain Lord who attracted demonic qi, turning the area of several miles into a demonic domain." Li Jinge said, "The demons are too fierce, wantonly slaughtering ordinary people. Demons… are more harmful than Subduing Demons!"

"But you became the leader of the demons," Gu Shan said.

"Only by becoming the leader can I command a larger force to better achieve my goals." Li Jinge sighed softly, "But obviously, there are always stronger people. I have failed once again… But this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover."

He had failed before, suffered setbacks, but had become stronger.

But this time, he was defeated by a Subduing Demon.

"People must know their limitations." Gu Shan looked at Li Jinge, "Demons must also know their limitations."

"Didn't you say that the power of demons has no limit?" Li Jinge stared at Gu Shan, "So, the goal must be big!"

Gu Shan grabbed the chains, and Li Jinge's demonic qi was completely sealed, and he could no longer speak.

"Junior brother, I'll go back to my residence first. I still have to put my mind to refining him." After saying that, Gu Shan grabbed the bound Li Jinge and immediately turned into a stream of light and left.

Xu Jingming watched his senior brother leave, but turned his head to look in the direction of the inn.

Inside the inn, in the courtyard where Xu Jingming lived.

"Creak."

Xu Jingming pushed the door open and saw Wu Qi sitting at the stone table, with a pot of wine on the table.

"Uncle Qi." Xu Jingming walked to the table and sat down.

Wu Qi hunched his back, poured a cup of wine for Xu Jingming, handed it to Xu Jingming, and smiled, "I still used saber techniques in front of you. With the young master's eyesight, you should have recognized me, right?"

Saber techniques that had reached the realm of a top-notch expert were rare among Sky Demons.

Wu Qi had used saber techniques on ordinary days, but this time, in order to resist the Sky Demon with ninth-realm strength, he was forced to use saber techniques with all his strength, and everything was seen by Xu Jingming.

"Yes, I recognized you." Xu Jingming nodded. In fact, on the night Senior Brother Gu Shan visited, Senior Brother Gu Shan's realm allowed him to see that Uncle Qi was a Sky Demon, and he also told Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was very surprised at the time, but he believed in the more than ten years they had spent together day and night.

"Hehe…" Wu Qi held up his wine cup and drank it in one gulp, "I knew that this day would come eventually." As he said that, he reached for the wine pot.
