This was a black spirit beast bag. A ray of spiritual light struck it, and the bag instantly transformed into a black bag about ten feet in size. A buzzing sound arose from within, and countless black and yellow spirit bees, each about half a palm in size, swarmed out.
The dense mass of spirit insects instantly covered the surroundings, making one's scalp tingle.
Releasing more than ten thousand earth spirit bees at once, Zhang Ling's mind flickered, and he commanded the earth spirit bees to divide into three large swarms, pouncing towards the golden-haired ape and the bull-headed half-demon, as well as the middle-aged male cultivator who were besieging the two of them.
The golden-haired ape let out two strange cries, a human-like look of surprise in its eyes, but it did not retreat. Instead, it opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of golden mist, wrapping itself within. At the same time, it rapidly brandished the iron rod in its hand. Under the stirring of a flurry of rod shadows, its figure transformed into a constantly rotating golden whirlwind.
This demon beast seemed to possess extremely high intelligence, attempting to defend itself in this way.
The spirit bees that charged towards the bull-headed half-demon were also unable to advance in the slightest. The bronze drum in this person's hand vibrated, emitting circles of sound waves, causing the spirit bees to continuously retreat.
Only the middle-aged man who was still fighting with the red fox demon spirit changed his expression. This person also possessed the strength of the Golden Core Middle Stage and was by no means mediocre. He urged the spell in his hand, and at the same time, a mass of green essence was spat out from his mouth, transforming into a emerald green round pearl. A cloud of dense emerald green mist swirled out, covering an area of seventy to eighty feet.
The green smoke seemed to be highly poisonous. As soon as it was released, a foul odor was detected. The approaching earth spirit bees buzzed and dared not go forward.
Zhang Ling only scanned with his spiritual sense and observed these situations. He released the earth spirit bees not to assist in the battle. At most, more than ten thousand mature earth spirit bees could only cause some trouble to a Golden Core Middle Stage expert. Moreover, the two were besieged by three powerful enemies.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he emitted a cicada-like chirping sound from his mouth. Instantly, large numbers of earth spirit bees followed suit and began to chirping. Zhang Ling roared in his heart, "Explode!"
A series of muffled bang bang bang sounds came as numerous earth spirit bees simultaneously self-detonated, immediately transforming into a powerful wave of air, impacting in all directions.
The golden-haired ape, bull-headed half-demon, and middle-aged man did not anticipate this situation.
Caught off guard, they were immediately forced back by the air wave. They hurriedly used their respective methods to resist, but the wind pressure formed by the self-detonation of so many spirit insects was not so easy to resist. Its power was comparable to the instantaneous release of a dozen high-level spells.
For a time, they were all sucked into the air wave, and cries of alarm were heard.
Go!
Zhang Ling and Huang Ying exchanged a glance, harrumphed softly, and transformed into a streak of azure light, soaring directly into the sky. Huang Ying followed closely, and the two directly broke out of the encirclement from above.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Howls
But just as they flew twenty feet into the air, an angry shout came from below. The middle-aged man had actually broken free in a short period of time. At this moment, the man's clothes were torn, and his hair was disheveled, looking like a sorry sight.
The man looked at Zhang Ling and the other with a dark green expression, and immediately emitted a large cloud of green smoke, whooshing shooting out sharp wooden thorns that were ten feet long.
Zhang Ling naturally did not want to entangle with this man any longer. Huang Ying waved her hand without turning her head, and a red light flashed out from her body, transforming into a scarlet fox. The furry tail swung, and a huge fireball met the attack.
The fireball stretched out and widened, forming a curtain of flames that blocked behind them. The wooden thorns struck the firelight, sparks flying everywhere. Zhang Ling and the other quickly drove their escaping light towards the east.
Zhang Ling had notified Huang Ying in advance when he detonated the earth spirit bees, and the two had briefly discussed and confirmed the direction, planning to transmit out of this place through the teleportation array in the east.
Now was the moment to race against time and not be held back by this man.
But suddenly, Zhang Ling's expression changed, and the azure light on his body flickered. He instantly transformed into an afterimage, pulling Huang Ying sideways for five or six feet.
In front of where the two were flying, the originally empty air suddenly blurred. A black shadow flashed, and a thick golden iron rod slammed down with a rumble sound amidst the whooshing sound of air being torn. The force of this strike was astonishing, causing the air to explode.
If Zhang Ling hadn't released his full spiritual sense to envelop his body at all times and noticed this attack, avoiding this strike, the consequences of being directly hit by the iron rod would have been unimaginable. Huang Ying's face was also alternating between green and white. If Zhang Ling hadn't pulled her just now, she would have been seriously injured at least.
Zhang Ling's heart turned cold as he glanced downwards.
The one who launched this attack was the golden-haired ape. At this moment, the ape was covered in golden light, its figure transformed into a giant ape more than thirty feet tall, its pitch-black hands gripping a thick iron rod.
The ape angrily hissed and waved the black iron rod in its hands again, and golden spiritual patterns lit up on it. The iron rod gradually transformed into a pure gold color, looking like it was about to launch another attack.
The two dared not delay and transformed into two streaks of escaping light, flying towards another direction.
But another change occurred. A black light flashed before their eyes, and two curved hooks came straight for them.
Zhang Ling's flying sword trembled slightly, and he slashed out more than a dozen azure sword lights. With a few crisp clangs, the sword lights were instantly knocked away. His face was gloomy, and he gathered his full spiritual power, ready to attack again.
But Huang Ying's red fox jade pendant flew up, once again revealing the scarlet fox, spraying out a thick line of fire.
With a loud rumble sound, it collided with the flying attacks, exploding into a cloud of sparks in the air.
At the same time, whooshing sounds came from the side, and the two dodged the wooden thorns that were flying from one direction.
These attacks were launched by the middle-aged man, who was rushing forward, his body rolling with emerald green mist, transforming into countless ghost heads.
At the same time, the golden-haired ape raised the long staff in his hand high and was about to swing it again. Black mist rolled on the ground, and the bull-headed half-demon also transformed into a black whirlwind, blasting out one after another wind blades.
Numerous attacks enveloped them again, with the intention of trapping the two in place again. Zhang Ling gritted his teeth, ready to release another batch of earth spirit bees.
Huang Ying shouted and spat out three mouthfuls of blood essence at once, merging them into the red fox jade pendant in her hand. Instantly, the jade pendant made cracking sounds, and three white marks instantly appeared on the treasure.
Three strands of red spiritual light, each ten feet long, rushed out from the cracks. The red light swirled to the top of their heads, transforming into light spheres that quickly spun into three scarlet vortexes, with flames flickering inside, and three fiery red foxes instantly jumped out.
The three foxes were identical, their bodies scarlet red, and naturally not physical form. They were all condensed from spiritual power. They roared silently and charged towards the middle-aged man and others, wagging their heads and tails.
For a time, they were fighting as a group, blocking the three men.
Zhang Ling was secretly shocked. These three fox phantoms burst out with spiritual power that was no weaker than that of a fifth-order demon beast. He couldn't help but glance at the red fox jade pendant in Huang Ying's hand.
He guessed in his heart that this object might be the treasure that the green fox king gave to this woman.
