My actions completely enraged the opponent.
At this moment, the Black Demon Left Envoy was preparing to kill me.
And I, having unleashed my strongest techniques consecutively.
The two Divine Fire Talismans and the most powerful strike, the "Mie" character technique, had almost completely depleted my spiritual energy.
I was now at the end of my rope.
If the opponent had charged at me recklessly, I might not have been able to withstand it.
"Damn it! I couldn't finish him off!"
I felt a pang of regret.
The Divine Fire Talismans and the strongest strike of the "Mie" character technique could only heavily injure him, which showed just how powerful the Black Demon Left Envoy was.
"Kid, die!"
The demonic Taoist roared, raising the black needle in his hand.
Instantly, a black rune appeared.
The rune shimmered, and a black light shot towards me.
Feeling the terrifying and powerful aura, my heart turned cold.
Just as I was about to evade, the moment I moved.
A layer of black mist appeared beneath my feet without me knowing when.
The black mist was like strong glue, firmly sticking the soles of my feet to the ground. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move an inch.
And the black light was already approaching rapidly.
"This is bad!"
I cursed inwardly, feeling a chill down my spine.
The black-robed demonic Taoist opposite me revealed a sinister smile, as if he could already see himself piercing me with his black qi and me falling to my death.
But at the critical moment.
A strong gust of demonic wind swept through the surroundings, and more than a dozen figures rushed forward rapidly.
"Do not harm Young Master Qin!"
A roar echoed.
Instantly, more than a dozen wisps of black mist rolled in, forming black screens that blocked in front of me.
And the black qi unleashed by the Black Demon Left Envoy.
At that very instant, it struck the black screens.
"Bang bang bang!" Explosions continued.
Ten layers of the dozen black screens were instantly pierced before they dissipated into smoke due to their energy being depleted.
My eardrums rang, but at this moment, I let out a sigh of relief.
I had almost died at the hands of this demonic Taoist.
Fortunately, the Twelve Demon Souls arrived in time.
"Young Master Qin, forgive us, we are late!"
"Young Master Qin, we will immediately kill him and avenge you!"
"..."
Zi Shu, Chou Niu, and the others spoke one after another.
And the layer of black mist that was sticking to my feet also retreated with the appearance of the Twelve Demon Souls.
I regained my mobility.
Having escaped death, I felt a touch of excitement:
"Good, let's take this demonic Taoist down together!"
After saying that, I turned and looked coldly at the demonic Taoist.
The Black Demon Left Envoy was grinding his teeth, having almost killed me.
But at the last moment, these Twelve Demon Souls saved me.
Now that the Twelve Demon Souls had appeared, it was impossible for him to kill me again.
Instead, he himself was seriously injured. If he didn't escape, he would surely die here.
The Black Demon Left Envoy glared at me coldly and, without further ado, turned to flee.
"Run, can you escape?"
"Brothers, kill!"
"We cannot let this demonic Taoist escape!"
"Tonight, you must die."
"..."
The Twelve Demon Souls spoke in unison.
They charged forward, and the Twelve Demon Souls instantly transformed into their true demon soul forms.
Beasts of all kinds rushed forward with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh."
The black-robed demonic Taoist's strength was not bad. If he hadn't been injured, he should have been able to escape with a full-speed retreat.
But not now.
He was burned by the flames of my Divine Fire Talismans and injured by the shockwave of my strongest "Mie" character technique.
Now, escape was impossible.
The Twelve Demon Souls were faster than me and had all rushed ahead.
Although I was panting and lacking spiritual energy, I still held my peach wood sword and tried my best to follow behind.
We chased him for at least twenty minutes in the valley.
Finally, we caught up to him.
By the time I arrived, a battle had already broken out.
Twelve against one, no matter how strong the Black Demon Left Envoy was, he couldn't resist.
I didn't even need to make a move; I heard the demonic Taoist cry out in pain.
Then, Chen Long punched him to the ground.
Chou Niu, holding a steel fork, plunged it towards his neck.
Before the Black Demon Left Envoy could react, his eyes were pierced by the steel fork.
Blood began to gurgle from his mouth.
Then, his head lolled to the side, and he died on the spot.
But it wasn't over yet. As soon as this fellow stopped breathing.
Mao Tu, standing beside him, had her eyes turn crimson.
She looked at the demonic Taoist's corpse, and her head transformed into a rabbit's head at that moment.
She whispered:
"Come out!"
Then, the demonic Taoist's soul struggled out of his body.
His entire body was entwined and bound by thin red threads.
This was another ability of Mao Tu, and it was extremely powerful.
It could capture souls.
"Let me go, release this envoy!"
But before he could finish speaking, Hai Zhu, standing beside him, swung his hammer and smashed it into his face:
"Shut the hell up!"
This blow stunned the demonic Taoist, nearly causing his soul to shatter.
And I, panting, finally caught up.
Seeing me, all the demon souls cupped their fists and said:
"Young Master Qin!"
"Master, we have killed his physical body and captured his soul. How should we deal with him now?"
"..."
I took a deep breath and looked at the demonic Taoist's soul.
I thought of replying, "Just kill him directly and scatter his soul."
But the words caught in my throat, and I swallowed them back.
Of course, it wasn't out of pity, nor was I going to show mercy and release the demonic Taoist's ghost.
It was because this fellow still had value.
He called himself the Black Demon Left Envoy, and he was definitely a high-ranking official within the Black Demon forces.
Now that he was completely incapacitated.
And the battle had basically concluded.
If I brought this demonic Taoist back, I might be able to extract some more crucial information from him.
With these thoughts, I finally spoke:
"Everyone, you have worked hard. This fellow still has some value. First, seal his soul and take him back for interrogation."
"Understood!"
Wu Ma stepped forward, revealing his horse-like face, and glared at the demonic Taoist's soul.
The demonic Taoist's soul was still defiant:
"Why, why are you staring at me? As a Black Demon, a messenger of the Black Demon, I, I will not say anything..."
But the next second, Wu Ma pressed his palm onto the demonic Taoist's forehead.
Immediately, strange inscriptions appeared.
They sealed the demonic Taoist's entire face within them.
The demonic Taoist's body instantly stiffened.
This sealing technique stunned me.
These Twelve Demon Souls were truly talented, each with their own special abilities and methods.
Chen Long and Si She were powerful, that's a given.
Zi Shu was the team's core.
Yin Hu and Wei Yang were the vanguard on the battlefield.
Mao Tu might be weaker, but she could capture souls.
Wu Ma also had sealing techniques, all of them formidable...
"Young Master Qin, I have sealed him, preventing the outside world from sensing his presence."
Wu Ma spoke.
I nodded:
"Thank you, Brother Wu Ma!"
"Everyone, you have all worked hard."
I cupped my fists towards the Twelve Demon Souls present and exchanged pleasantries.
Then, I grabbed the Black Demon Left Envoy's soul and walked back.
The Twelve Demon Souls also returned to the Purple Bone Vine in my hand.
Looking at the time, it was already late at night.
The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse.
When I returned to the foot of Jian Dao Peak, I found that the battle had ended.
On the ground, apart from pools of rotten blood, there were no more demon souls or corpse monsters.
Only a mess remained...
