Chapter 541 The mysterious gray crane
Although there are many monsters near Tuoyun Mountain, they are basically first- and second-level low-level monsters. Among the nearby monsters above level three, there is only one Demon King Yunhe who is hiding in Baihe Ridge thousands of miles away.
Although this monster has advanced to the level of Demon King for more than three hundred years, its cultivation level has always only been in the early stage of the Golden Core. When Chen Jinliang was still alive at the earliest, the White Crane Demon King would not be his opponent at all. If it weren't for his speed The skilled monster had some means of escaping, and he might have died in Chen Jinliang's hands long ago.
In the past few hundred years, except when the demon beasts were in turmoil, the White Crane Demon King would take the initiative to drive the demon beasts south. Normally, this demon king would not dare to approach Tuoyun Mountain.
However, since Chen Jinliang passed away, Tuoyunshan no longer has a powerful Jindan monk in charge. Demon King Yunhe, who has been suppressed for hundreds of years, finally started to become a little arrogant. The last demonic beast chaos almost brought him with him. The army of demonic beasts under his command captured the mountain-protecting formation of Tuoyun Mountain.
If Chen Jinliang hadn't left Fengyangde a third-level mid-grade spiritual talisman, which severely damaged Demon King Yunhe, Tuo Yunshan would have been hard-pressed to wait until Xiaoyao Sect came to support them.
Since the Ma family's sneak attack on Tuoyun Mountain, the entire Tuoyun Mountain's defense force has been greatly weakened. The Yunhe Demon King, who has recovered from his injuries, has also begun to appear near Tuoyun Mountain. This time, he was also frightened and took back the camel. Lin Yutang and others who came to Yunshan soon.
Fortunately, they reached a deal with the Song family in time and invited Song Qingming to Tuo Yun Mountain. Only then did the situation in Tuo Yun Mountain slowly stabilize.
During the ten years he was in charge of Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming also had several dealings with Demon King Yunhe.
The first time was when Demon King Yunhe brought many of his demon beasts to test and attack Tuoyun Mountain. With the help of many foundation-building monks and mountain-protecting formations, Song Qingming easily repelled Demon King Yunhe and his demon beasts. Many monsters under his command.
Later, Demon King Yunhe once again attacked a city next to Tuoyun Mountain. After Song Qingming learned the news, he immediately rushed to reinforce. The two had a fight outside. This time Song Qingming used all his methods and brought Jin Feng with him. He defeated Demon King Yunhe head-on. Although he suffered some injuries, Demon King Yunhe still relied on his own magical power to get rid of Song Qingming, who was pursuing him all the way.
In the years since then, the timid and cautious Demon King Yunhe has never appeared near Tuoyun Mountain again.
Song Qingming had just come down from the top of the mountain and soon ran into Lin Yutang who was in a panic and was about to go up the mountain to help him.
"Which demon king is coming? Did you see clearly?"
Lin Yutang quickly shook his head and said: "Reporting to senior, we have never seen or heard of this Gray Crane Demon King before. It looks somewhat similar to the Yunhe Demon King, but it is definitely not him. Look at him attacking at the foot of the mountain. The appearance of the formation is obviously stronger than that of Demon King Yunhe."
"Gray Crane Demon King, I haven't heard of it! Could it have something to do with the Cloud Crane Demon King?" Song Qingming said with some confusion on his face, then ignored Lin Yutang and turned around and flew down the mountain.
At the foot of Tuoyun Mountain, a gray crane with a body of five or six feet tall looked at the mountain-protecting formation of Tuoyun Mountain. After a moment, its huge wings suddenly flapped, and immediately whipped out two lightning beams, which hit him not far in front of him. On the mountain guard formation.
Under the leadership of Zhang Rong, the hundreds of monks from Tuoyunshan who were standing behind the mountain-protecting formation immediately stood on the spot holding formation flags and input their own mana into the mountain-protecting formation with the help of the formation flags in their hands to strengthen the mountain-protecting formation. protective power.
There were so many of them, but when they saw this powerful third-level demon king outside, no one dared to come forward to confront it. They could only hide in the mountain protection formation and wait for support from the mountain.
There is a Cloud Crane Demon King nearby who often looks covetously at Tuo Yunshan, which can already cause them some headaches. Now there is a more powerful Gray Crane Demon King. What if two demon kings appear here at the same time? But something was not good. Everyone in Tuo Yun Mountain looked at the Gray Crane Demon King outside, with a hint of uneasiness on their faces.
Lin Yutang had already taken the initiative to go to the top of the mountain and asked Song Qingming, a senior Jindan who was in charge of Tuoyun Mountain, to help. Zhang Rong and others were silently thinking that Song Qingming would hurry up and lead them to fight off the demon king in front of them first.
The Gray Crane Demon King standing outside the formation seemed to be a little too anxious. He did not continue to attack Tuoyun Mountain's mountain-protecting formation. Each time he launched an attack, there would basically be a short interval between attacks, and the direction of the attack was also the same. The chaos seemed to be testing the power of Tuoyunshan's mountain-protecting formation.
After a moment, a green light flashed, and a young figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was Song Qingming who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain.
After seeing Song Qingming's figure, Zhang Rong and others were relieved and immediately stepped forward to salute Song Qingming.
After Song Qingming nodded slightly to everyone, he frowned and looked at the Gray Crane Demon King outside, with a hint of confusion in his heart.
The demon king in front of him was obviously not the old rivals that Song Qingming had seen, but it didn't look like a demon king that had just advanced. It seemed to be a foreign demon king that had recently arrived near Tuoyun Mountain.
Although where did this gray crane come from, when Song Qingming saw his attack method, he immediately identified it. Although this demon king looks a bit like the Yunhe demon king, its methods and magical powers are very different, and it should not be the same species. The Demon King was also slightly relieved in his heart.
"You guys hold the formation, I'll go out to meet him first and see how strong this monster is!"
After Song Qingming gave an order, he raised his right hand slightly and summoned his magic weapon "Mobai Sword" in an instant. He raised the sword and rushed out of the formation.
After seeing Song Qingming suddenly come out, the gray crane demon king who was attacking the mountain guard formation immediately turned around and stared at Song Qingming in front of him. Then he flapped his wings and whipped out two powerful wind blades, heading straight for Song Qingming. .
Seeing this, Song Qingming was not careless. He immediately stepped aside and dodged the somewhat sharp attack. Then, the "ink white sword" in his hand turned into a black sword light, and he quickly took it out with a huge wave. The momentum came to the front of the Gray Crane Demon King.
Before the "Ink White Sword" could get closer, a golden shield appeared in front of the Gray Crane Demon King, which directly blocked Song Qingming's magic weapon "Ink White Sword".
After blocking Song Qingming's attack, the Gray Crane Demon King immediately put away the shield beside him, flapped his wings and flew directly into the air. After circling around Song Qingming, he flew directly to the north.
"Hmph! Monster, where are you going? Fight me for another two hundred rounds!" Seeing the Gray Crane Demon King trying to escape, Song Qingming shouted and took out the "Phantom Boat" in front of everyone, turning into a white light and heading towards He chased after the Demon King in the direction in which he escaped.
Seeing that the Gray Crane Demon King and Song Qingming had only fought for a few rounds, they were somewhat defeated by Song Qingming and took the initiative to withdraw from the battle. Everyone in Tuo Yunshan who was standing in the mountain guarding formation also had a look of surprise on their faces.
"After staying in the mountain for so many years, this is the first time that I have seen my senior take action. I didn't expect that my senior's magical power is so strong. This demon king didn't dare to challenge him in front of him, and was scared away. This is... It’s really beyond my expectation!”
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Li is right. With Senior Song here, Tuoyun Mountain will have no worries in the future. I have really found a great supporter here."
"."
Hearing the happy discussions among the people around him, Zhang Rong also showed a look of envy on his face. He thought that when Song Qingming came to Tuoyun Mountain for the first time, his cultivation level was almost the same. A world of difference.
A moment later, dozens more monks rushed down from Tuoyun Mountain, and it was Lin Yutang and others who were preparing to come to help.
"Hey! Eighth Junior Brother, what's going on? Senior Song hasn't come yet? Where's that demon king just now?" Seeing everyone at the foot of the mountain standing aside with happy faces, there is no trace of the demon king they faced not long ago. Wang's nervous look, Lin Yutang's face was also a little confused, not knowing what happened.
"Senior Song has just defeated the demon king and is chasing it north!"
"Why did you defeat that demon king so quickly?" After hearing Zhang Rong's explanation, Lin Yutang's face became a little more surprised.
He had also seen the scene when Song Qingming fought against Yunhe Demon King. Although Song Qingming was able to dominate the opponent, it took a lot of effort to finally defeat Yunhe Demon King.
The Gray Crane Demon King just down the mountain was obviously stronger than the Yunhe Demon King back then. How could Song Qingming defeat him so quickly?
"Could it be that when Senior Song fought against the Yunhe Demon King, he intentionally didn't use all his strength, and that's why he lost his sight?" Thinking of this, Lin Yutang could only shake his head.
"Eighth Junior Brother, it is a bit dangerous for Senior Song to go after the Demon King alone. You should take two fellow Taoists to see if you can find them. If Senior Song encounters any trouble, please send a message to let me know immediately. Organize people to help.”
Seeing that Lin Yutang was still a little worried, Zhang Rong responded calmly and walked out of the mountain guarding formation with the two foundation-building monks. The three of them turned into a few sword lights and headed north.
Song Qingming, who was riding the "Phantom Boat" here, had been chasing the gray crane demon king for hundreds of miles, and the two of them had now reached a high mountain in the northwest corner of Tuoyun Mountain.
The Gray Crane Demon King flew to the ridge on the side of the mountain, stopped directly, then stood on the spot and turned around, his eyes fixed on the white light not far behind him that had been chasing him.
A moment later, the white light quickly fell on the mountain ridge, revealing Song Qingming's figure and the flying boat at his feet.
After carefully looking around, Song Qingming put away the "Phantom Boat" under his feet, walked directly in front of the gray crane demon king, raised his hands with a smile on his face and said:
"It's been a long time since we said goodbye, Senior Long Feng, it's been a long time!"
