"Old Qin, this thing is too weird, are we really not going to make a move?"
Over there, the devouring by the Dog Ghost continued. The scene looked quite sinister, even Qin Fang and the others felt their scalps go numb. Ji Xiang couldn't help but swallow, asking uncertainly.
"Let's observe the changes..."
Qin Fang wasn't entirely clear either. Although he could clearly feel that the strength of this Dog Ghost seed to be continuously growing, precisely because he couldn't be sure, he dared not act rashly.
"Ah..."
At this mont, the Grandmaster-level Expert being devoured by the Dog Ghost finally couldn't remain silent anymore... but instead of trying to forcibly destroy this traitorous Dog Ghost, he let out a miserable scream.
Then... that was it.
This Grandmaster-level Expert didn't die at the hands of Qin Fang and his companions but instead died by the hands of the Dog Ghost he had summoned.
And with the fall of this Grandmaster-level Expert, his physical body was enveloped by the black mist, also gradually disappearing without a trace, seemingly completely transford into black mist.
For a mont, the black mist, which Qin Fang had almost completely obliterated, not only restored to its previous state but even beca more violent and expansive.
Right in front of Qin Fang and his companions, the black mist surged upward, and for a mont, demonic flas soared to the sky...
"Such a strong aura..."
Not only did the black mist surge violently, but even the aura beca colder and more eerie, much stronger than before.
"So cold!"
Ji Xiang was shivering from the cold, seemingly barely able to withstand it, and Qin Fang and the others noticed that the ground around them seed to show signs of freezing.
Though it wasn't the hottest ti of sumr, the temperature was quite high, yet this cold black mist could produce such effects, indicating its formidable power.
"Monk, how are you?"
Qin Fang didn't feel much, as he had already experienced it alone before, enhancing his resistance to the cold a lot; with his fla protection, he wasn't afraid.
But Ji Xiang definitely couldn't handle it, so Qin Fang looked at Monk Wukong beside him and asked casually.
"I'm okay... however, this black mist is extrely wicked, sowhat resembling the legendary demonic energy. If not for my practice of authentic Buddhist Divine Power, I wouldn't be able to stand it!"
Monk Wukong shivered, evidently feeling the cold, but he could still withstand it. At the sa ti, a faint steam could be seen rising from his head, the result of the True Qi generated by the operation of Buddhist Divine Power within his body...
"Demonic energy?"
When Qin Fang heard this term, he was slightly taken aback, instinctively glancing at Ji Xiang, then feeling his own, his eyes flashing with a peculiar light.
Qin Fang and Ji Xiang had cultivated the Divine Power of the Demon Sect, theoretically making them fond of demonic energy...
In reality, the demonic energy that Monk Wukong spoke of was entirely different from the demonic True Qi that Qin Fang and they cultivated, not to be mixed up.
This was quite normal too. The Demon Sect was called so not because they were truly demons, but because the people of the Righteous Path called them this.
Actually, the people of the Demon Sect all referred to themselves as disciples of the Holy Sect, having nothing to do with demons.
However, this substantial demonic energy had a different origin and was truly an evil presence... much more evil than the Demon Sect.
Suffice to say, just looking at this Dog Ghost's betrayal of its master was enough to demonstrate how evil this demonic energy was.
"Monk, can you suppress this demonic energy?"
Qin Fang hesitated a mont but couldn't help asking.
"No problem..."
Monk Wukong was unreserved, with Buddhist Aura surging within his body, the surrounding black mist imdiately scattered like frightened birds and beasts.
Qin Fang gave it a simple glance; although this effect couldn't compare to his Fireball Technique, it was already enough for self-preservation.
"Old Ji, go help Qing Mountain; Monk and I can handle it here..."
Against such a sinister creature, Ji Xiang, though having Grandmaster-level cultivation, lacked thods for defeating it; staying wouldn't help and might even get himself hurt... so Qin Fang decisively sent Ji Xiang to help on the other side.
"Then... be careful!"
Ji Xiang hesitated, seemingly worried about Qin Fang and Monk Wukong, but seeing both of them looking confident, he had no choice but to nod and rush over to Song Qingshan's side.
Over there, Song Qingshan and Hattori Sanzo were jointly facing that Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert and had not gained any advantage despite having one more person; it was still an evenly matched situation.
However, whenever that Grandmaster-level expert tried to leave, he was pulled back by Hattori Sanzo and Song Qingshan.
If Ji Xiang joined in, this situation should improve, and they might seize an opportunity to take him down.
"Monk, be careful..."
Ji Xiang walked away from this side, without a potential liability, Qin Fang could fully unleash his strength. He imdiately shouted to Monk Wukong, both palms surged with flas, swiftly attacking that mass of rising black mist...
"Damn! Old Qin, that move is so cool..."
Seeing Qin Fang's hands ignited with flas, Monk Wukong was also startled. But upon seeing the flas passing through, the black mist instantly vanished into thin air, making his eyes almost pop out in disbelief.
"Hahaha, I can't let you hog all the glory by yourself, watch this..."
But Monk Wukong wasn't the type to admit defeat. A layer of faint golden light imdiately emanated from his body, and he transford into a straight line, plunging into the mass of black mist.
Just like Qin Fang's flas, but when the sinister black mist encountered the golden light emanating from Monk Wukong, it seed like it t its nesis, instantly dissipating and retreating swiftly.
"This is..."
Qin Fang also turned back to witness this scene and was quite amazed, as the faint golden light was truly eye-catching.
"Arhat Divine Power? Or Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming Skill?"
Regarding the secret inner strength techniques of the Shaolin Temple, Qin Fang wasn't particularly knowledgeable, he could only guess... Whether he was right or not, only the heavens would know!
But it didn't matter, at least the divine skill Monk Wukong used was indeed formidable, having a powerful restraining effect on this demonic energy.
"Roar~~"
Both Qin Fang and Monk Wukong acted together, swiftly extinguishing the black mist. However, the Dog Ghost was hiding within the mist, low growls could be heard, but its figure remained elusive, making it quite eerie.
"Monk, be careful..."
The more it went on, the more Qin Fang felt that the Dog Ghost had beco much stronger than before, and much more dangerous, requiring careful handling.
Having experienced it once before, Qin Fang naturally beca very cautious. He was worried that Monk Wukong might be careless and suffer, so he couldn't help but remind him.
"Don't worry..."
Monk Wukong nodded, responding, but whether he truly heeded it was sothing only he himself knew.
Rustle~
Almost at the sa ti Monk Wukong replied to Qin Fang, a slight change occurred within the black mist, as if sothing was approaching at high speed.
The sound was clear yet seed chaotic, making it difficult to pinpoint its position and direction... It felt like it was coming from all directions.
"Watch out..."
Suddenly, Qin Fang's expression changed, he imdiately shouted towards Monk Wukong nearby, having discovered the target's appearance.
Bang~~
Despite Qin Fang's tily warning, the Dog Ghost's speed still surpassed his voice, and before Monk Wukong could react, he was struck by a massive arm...
A deep thud sounded, accompanied by a faint growl, the two had a quick exchange before separating again.
Monk Wukong's defensive ability was rather astounding. Despite the heavy blow, he was rely flung out of the black mist, his face slightly pale, but without any grievous injuries like broken bones...
Of course, this was quite normal. Shaolin monks generally start by training strength and defense, it's reasonable for them to have superior resistance compared to average martial artists.
However, Monk Wukong wasn't without loss. The fierce blow nearly depleted the golden light around him.
"Damn! That accursed beast..."
This change made Monk Wukong's expression turn quite sour, and he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
"Old Qin, I'm afraid I can't make it..."
Helplessly, Monk Wukong said to Qin Fang with a bitter smile.
The fierce strike from the Dog Ghost had dissipated much of the Buddhist aura he had concentrated with his inner strength. Though he could attempt to restore it, it was clear he couldn't withstand another attack from the Dog Ghost.
Without the protective Buddhist aura, understanding the danger of the black mist, Monk Wukong naturally couldn't risk standing up to it again.
"No worries, take a break first..."
Seeing Monk Wukong's Buddhist aura shattered, Qin Fang knew he couldn't count on Monk Wukong anymore. Without fuss, he took on the opponent himself.
"Such a cunning beast!"
Having experienced this encounter, Qin Fang began to place much more importance on this opponent, regarding it as a powerful adversary on the sa level.
Previously, Qin Fang had been easily thrashing the Dog Ghost when it only acted on instinct. Now it seed to have gained so human-like intelligence, knowing to eliminate Monk Wukong first...
Because of this, Qin Fang had to increase his vigilance several tis over concerning this disobedient Dog Ghost that had succeeded in killing its master. He didn't want to suffer an unexpected defeat!
