Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 111: Pale Aries, Decepticons!

"Li Hailang, stop hiding! Help us fight this demonic tiger first. You can't expect to get away with this!"

Inside the Cloud Soaring Formation, Ma Tuan shouted loudly, and Qing He immediately unleashed a swift slash, shattering the large rock on the southwest side.

With a flash of light, the group of cultivators, who had nowhere to hide, emerged, led by a burly man.

"Boss, I told you to just tie up a formation master and set up a good formation, but you insisted on setting it up yourself. Look, you've been discovered!"

"What do we do now, boss? Are we still waiting in the wings?"

"You coward, do you think everyone else is stupid!"

Amidst the complaints of his subordinates, Li Hailang felt somewhat embarrassed.

But that didn't stop him from brandishing his sword and shouting at Ma Tuan:
"Fellow Daoist Ma, Fellow Daoist Qing, I won't waste words with you. Today, I've come for this Blood Lotus Fruit."

"Just give me one, and I'll bring my brothers and fight these bastards for you!"

Ma Tuan squinted his eyes and simply cupped his hands slightly, saying:

"We can discuss how to distribute the Blood Lotus Fruit after we've dealt with these demonic beasts. If Fellow Daoist Li wishes to leave now, that's entirely up to you. But if we discover your presence again..."

Fellow Daoist Li is well aware of Ma's temperament. Even if we let this demonic tiger go, we would have wiped you all out first!

Li Hailang lost face after being retorted by Ma Tuan.

But he really didn't want to give up.

He had been seriously injured, damaging his physical bones. His cultivation had stagnated due to the damage to his physical bones, so he was determined to obtain the Blood Lotus Fruit.

But if they don't retreat now, Ma Tuan and the others still have the protection of the formation, while these brothers are standing naked in front of the monster.

Instead of becoming the one who pounces on the minefield, this puts immense pressure on me.

"I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Liang to activate the formation!"

Qinghe noticed Li Hailang's hesitation and gave instructions to Liang Haishun.

Liang Haishun snorted coldly, showing no kindness to these cultivators. He unleashed a burst of magic power on the right side of the Tengyun Formation, and another formation appeared.

"Golden Armor Formation, a first-tier high-grade formation. Fellow Daoist Li can bring people to take refuge within this formation. Would Fellow Daoist Li be willing to join us in slaying demons?"

Qinghe was poised and elegant, and she had even prepared a formation for them.

Li Hailang was a man of principle; he bowed to thank him and, with his brothers, entered the formation.

During this time, the Black Mountain Tiger and its group of demonic beasts simply remained on the east side of the mountaintop without making any moves.

Its tiger-like eyes lifted slightly, glancing at the two-headed falcon circling in the sky. Instantly, dozens of golden-feathered eagles flew into the air to drive away the demon.

As these demonic beasts chased and fought in the air, the annihilation puppets hidden in the clouds remained undetected, which eased Su Qing's mind.

The Demon King was entrenched in front, and the cultivators could freely switch between friend and foe. The cultivators of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion were ready for battle.

The situation remained deadlocked.

Su Qing was prepared to wait until three days later, when the Blood Lotus Fruit was fully ripe, before they would fight to the death and reveal their true intentions.

The spirit educator was summoned by Qinghe.

"We need to ripen it early to avoid any unforeseen problems that might attract other competitors!"

Liang Haishun knew Ren Yuan's abilities; for a spiritual plant like the Blood Lotus Tree, which was close to the third rank, he could at most shorten its growth by three to five days.

That's enough.

Black Mountain Tiger charged into the fray to seize the fruit.

Enough for everyone to finish quickly!

After Ren Yuan took out a jar of viscous, crimson spiritual liquid and dripped it under the Blood Lotus Tree, the Blood Lotus Tree, which was visibly radiating a dazzling red light, became even more dazzlingly red, and the three fruits on it became even more plump and tempting.

Almost the instant the blood lotus fruit was successfully ripened.

Then the Black Mountain Tiger commanded the demon beasts to move.

Leading the way were four Tier 1 Ultimate Demon Kings: a Mountain Green Ox, a Cloud-Stepping Deer, a Silver-Backed Wolf, and a Golden-Toothed Boar, followed by Tier 1 High-Grade and Mid-Grade Demon Beasts.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, leave these guys to us!"

Li Hailang, seemingly acting righteously, shouted loudly, and his subordinates, being cultivators, unleashed various Taoist spells, drawing the hatred of these demonic beasts onto them.

In the blink of an eye, the cultivators and the demonic beasts were locked in a fierce battle.

These guys are seasoned veterans; after all, they make a living this way. If they weren't ruthless, they would have been defeated long ago, just like Feng Tianyang.

With the addition of the Golden Armor Formation, which plated their bodies with a layer of golden armor, their defenses were greatly enhanced, allowing them to withstand the onslaught of the demonic beasts.

According to Su Qing's observation, the most ferocious among these tribulation cultivators was still their leader, Li Hailang.

The furnace he used for refining was the Wood Rejuvenation Spring. During battles, his entire body was lush and green, and he could immediately recover from any damage.

With his amazing recovery ability, he single-handedly overwhelmed the two demon kings, the Mountain Green Ox and the Silverback Wolf, and in terms of pure strength, he was even slightly better than Tang Wanqing.

Besides him, there were six or seven other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and first-tier high-grade body cultivators in the team. With the assistance of other Tribulation cultivators, they managed to fight the remaining demon kings and beasts to a standstill.

The battle situation on the side of the calamity cultivators was not important to Su Qing and other professionals.

Their eyes were all fixed on Ma Tuan, Qing He, and the others.

Because at this very moment, the Black Mountain Tiger had already strolled over.

Like mountains shifting and giant waves crashing against the sky, the oppressive aura of the second-tier demon king made all the cultivators feel somewhat uncomfortable as it approached step by step.

Su Qing produced a blue jade fan, imprinted with mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, and forests. With a gentle wave of the fan, he instantly felt the pressure ease, and his magical power and blood flowed smoothly, no longer feeling as uncomfortable as before.

This treasure is called the Azure Cloud Fan. It is a first-grade high-quality magic weapon that he obtained from the Cloud Mountain Sect. It can reduce the pressure from second-grade demonic beasts or Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When the Tiger King's oppressive aura wasn't just focused on him, the fan was quite effective. It remains to be seen how effective it will be against the witch.

Just as he was thinking about the witch, a melodious piano tune reached everyone's ears.

It was the zither player Lin Jiayun who plucked the strings, and as the music played, the Tiger King's oppressive aura was greatly reduced.

But seeing him constantly taking drugs, his face was pale.

Su Qing also knew that with this woman's cultivation level, it would be somewhat difficult to resist the Tiger King's pressure.

"Dragnet!"

Twenty or thirty warriors roared and simultaneously threw out a net.

The net closed in mid-air, intending to fall on the Black Mountain Tiger.

If the Spirit Binding Master had cooperated to control Black Mountain Tiger for a moment, the net might have fallen on Black Mountain Tiger.

Unfortunately, the spirit binder died before he could finish his tiger-hunting mission, so Su Qing never got to witness his skills.

Although the Black Mountain Tiger was large, it was very agile and easily dodged the net.

With a swipe of its claws, a gust of demonic wind swept through, and four or five warriors collapsed to the ground.

Su Qing, being kind-hearted, sent out a lizard warrior to quickly drag the four or five warriors to Guo Qiaolian's side, where she applied spiritual needles and fed them pills so that they could fight for another three or five rounds.

At this moment, all the warriors had retreated, leaving only Qinghe, Matuan, and the sword puppet facing the demon tiger!
