After hearing Wind-Edge Demon King's words, Qingfeng Li nodded and walked towards the Sky Breaking Cliff.
Although the walls of the cliff were steep, there were still some protruding rocks which could be held onto with one's hands. The evil presences were all floating near the midpoint of the cliff but they rarely came into contact with the stone walls of the cliff.
Qingfeng Li and the others followed the stone wall and continued down the cliff. The sharp evil presence circled around them, cutting countless cracks in the surrounding rocks and earth.
The Sky Breaking Cliff was extremely steep and ranged more than three thousand meters. Because of the evil presence, Qingfeng Li and the others climbed slowly. After a while, they had only climbed five hundred meters from the top of the cliff.
When they climbed to the five hundred meter mark, a humanoid creature appeared out of the black evil presence. It looked exactly like a human and seemed to be conscious, rushin towards Qingfeng Li and the others.
Wind Edge Demon King's expression changed and said, "This is a demonic spirit, an extremely strong demon formed by evil presence."
The demonic spirit opened its black mouth and bit towards Qingfeng Li with a sharp snap.
Qingfeng Li's face became serious when he found out that the demonic spirit was at the pinnacle tier of the Earthly Spirit Realm. Qingfeng Li pulled out the Red Fiery Sword and hacked forward, killing the demonic spirit in one blow. It disintegrated into countless streams of evil presence and disappeared into the air.
"Qingfeng, let's hurry to the bottom. The demonic spirits live in groups. This one is only a scout, there are plenty more coming," said Wind Edge Demon King to Qingfeng Li as his expression changed.
Hearing Wind-Edge Demon King's advice, Qingfeng Li was surprised. He had not thought that the demonic spirits lived in groups and that more would appear if one was killed.
Qingfeng Li and the others climbed down at a fast speed. However, not long after, countless demonic spirits began charging towards them.
The demons were large in numbers. Looking from afar, the black sea of demonic spirit had hundreds of thousands in number. They were all late stage or pinnacle stage of the Earthly Spirit realm.
Qingfeng Li pulled out his Red Fiery Sword and quickly slayed the demonic spirits close to himself. Sometimes he slayed ten or more with one blow.
Not only Qingfeng Li, but the Wind Edge Demon King, Xianzhi Qin, Flower Fairy, and the others killed the demonic spirits as well.
Even though the demonic spirits were no match for them, they were too large in number. Appearing one after another, there was no way they could wipe them out clean.
While killing the demonic spirits, Qingfeng Li and the others climbed down the cliff. Due to the spirits blocking in their path, they climbed down slower than before.
"Brat, you can use an array formation to attack," the sound of Dark Night Emperor's voice rang in Qingfeng Li's head.
"Senior, I don't know any."
"I can teach you some simple knowledge about array formations. Because these demonic spirits have low intelligence, a simple illusion array can mesmerize them."
"Okay, senior, please teach it to me," Qingfeng Li nodded and said with excitement.
Dark Night Emperor knew that time was precious, so he quickly recited to Qingfeng Li some simple information about arrays.
There were many types of arrays, some were used for attack as they gathered energy from nature to enhance their potency while other types included defence and illusion, creating ing false environments and reflections.
The array formation that Dark Night Emperor taught Qingfeng Li was the illusion array. Through four simple vitality stones, a mirror could be formed and reflect one's appearance elsewhere.
Since Qingfeng Li did not have any vitality stones, he asked Flower Fairy and his master for four. Then, he threw them towards the opposite cliff wall, forming an illusion array.
When the array formed, projections of Qingfeng Li and his companions' were reflected on the opposite cliff wall.
The demonic spirits were not intelligent and could not tell that the shadows on the wall were not Qingfeng Li and the others.
Countless demonic spirits opened their mouths and revealed their sharp claws before charging towards the cliff wall.
Their mouths and claws torn into the cliff. However, the stones of the cliff were made of fallen meteors, there were no way the demonic spirits could get past the walls. None of their claws even left any scratches.
Without the demonic spirits attacking, Qingfeng Li and the others climbed down at a much quicker pace.
After a short period of time, they've climbed down a thousand and five hundred meters. If they climbed a thousand and five hundred more, they would be at the bottom.
However, before Qingfeng Li could celebrate, danger approached. From underneath them, a giant demonic spirit appeared.
This particular demonic spirit was about fifteen meters tall, much taller than the rest of the demonic spirits. It was much stronger as well, as it was the leader of the demonic spirits.
"This Demonic Spirit King is actually in the mid stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm," said Qingfeng Li as color drained from his face and shock appeared in his eyes.
He could never have guessed that he would encounter the Demonic Spirit King here. Now, Qingfeng Li was not able to retaliate as he was on the walls of a cliff, not having a firm foothold. There was nothing he could do.
The Demonic Spirit King was extremely intelligent and saw through Qingfeng Li's illusion array immediately.
"Human, you are very smart, knowing how to use the illusion array. But, you'll die to me today anyways," said the Demonic Spirit King with a cold voice. Disdain filled his eyes.
Though the Demonic Spirit King was composed of evil presence, he had already acquired consciousness and possessed intelligence comparable to a human.
Suddenly, the Demonic Spirit King pushed his right palm forward, transforming it into a gigantic black palm and slapping towards Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li concentrated vital essence in his right fist and swung it out suddenly but could not shatter the palm made of evil energy.
The Demonic Spirit King was too strong, an entire realm above Qingfeng Li. Although Qingfeng's Strangle Hell Fist was strong, he had too little vital essence to break the Demonic Spirit King's defence.
The Demonic Spirit King smiled coldly and slapped out once again. However, he did not slap Qingfeng Li this time, but instead aiming for Black Puppy. The Demonic Spirit King actually recognized the black dog with one glance.
Boom!
His palm connected with the head of the puppy and bruised it.
Black Puppy covered his head with its paw and yelled, "Demonic Spirit King, you piece of sh*t, how dare you hit me?"
Smiling coldly, the Demonic Spirit King said, "You bastard dog! You stole my evil spirit fruit that I was going to use for breaking through to the next realm!"
Black Puppy's expression changed as embarrassment appeared in its eyes. A few months ago, it was extremely weak and could not even walk. It was after he ate the fruit that he could finally regain some strength and walk again.
The Demonic Spirit King slapped the black dog twice, bruising its head again.
Although Black Puppy was not strong, it had very high defensive abilities. The Demonic Spirit King could not kill him with a few consecutive blows although he was in the mid stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
