Five hundred and eighty-eighth chapter is the battle of the devil (fourteen)
At this time, the other high-level monks also "select opponents", either by name, or just dislike the other party, or choose an opponent at will, and then they will set a distance to fight alone.
For these mid-stage monks in the true body, under the premise that all the late-stage monks in the true body are flawless, as long as they are not besieged by many cultivators of the same level, they have strong self-protection ability and are not easily damaged.
Moreover, the individual victory or defeat of this type of war has little to do with the overall situation. Therefore, as long as the two sides fighting are not nemesis with a life-and-death enemy, they will tacitly test each other's strength first, and will not rashly use all their means, nor will they use some extremely expensive special magical powers to severely damage the opponent. Therefore, this kind of single battle will generally not determine the outcome, there will be no casualties, but they will just restrain each other.
After all, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the realm of the true body stage. Who dares to bet on your life easily?
Even if you think your opponent's strength is not as strong as you, you dare not attack with all your strength, but focus on protecting yourself.
But if the two sides happen to have a big grudge, it will be completely different. That is the real desperate battle, which is extremely fierce, but there are only two or three cases of this situation.
Li Muran just flew out of the righteous camp and was recognized by a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the true body before he could "pick out" an opponent.
"It's you" is a middle-aged man with a face as beautiful as a jade-like jade-faced demon king, the leader of the Western Demon Sect who invaded the Western Regions' immortal cultivation world.
The Jade-faced Demon Lord recognized Li Muran, and was shocked and said coldly: "You have indeed advanced to the real life stage. You stayed honestly in the Western Regions. You dared to participate in the battle between the righteous and the demons. You are really seeking death."
Li Muran smiled slightly and said, "I have received the inheritance of Senior Tianxuan, and I am a person in the right path, so I naturally cannot stay out of it."
"Tianxuan inheritance?" The Jade-faced Demon Lord was stunned and exclaimed: "So you are the successor of Tianxuan who has been in trouble recently?"
Li Muran smiled, as a default.
The Jade-Faced Demon Lord was shocked again. He had seen Li Muran more than a hundred years ago and also witnessed Li Muran using various means, so he thought he knew Li Muran quite well. In addition, Li Muran was a late-stage cultivator of Dharma Status at the time, and he did not advance to the true body period for a long time and his cultivation was not high, so the Jade-Faced Demon Lord wanted to underestimate him.
However, after hearing that Li Muran was the successor of Tianxuan, he couldn't help but pay more attention. Taoist Tianxuan was known as the number one cultivator in the world at that time, not only in the right path, but also in the demon cultivator. Many demons were defeated by Taoist Tianxuan, so the Jade-faced Demon Lord dared not underestimate Li Muran anymore.
The reason why Li Muran raised his identity as the "Successor of Tianxuan" was to make the other party afraid so that the other party knew that he was not an ordinary early-stage cultivator who could bully at will. In this way, the other party would also spend more time on self-protection and dare not attack too strongly.
After the Jade-faced Demon Lord and Li Muran flew for a distance one after another, they began to start a trial.
Sure enough, the Jade-faced Demon Lord was afraid of Li Muran’s name as the successor of Tianxuan, and just popped up a few demonic energy at Li Muran, without any forceful attack.
Li Muran was also happy with this. He only popped up a few spiritual lights, just to dissolve the opponent's demonic energy. He occasionally fought back one or two spiritual lights, but they were all not powerful.
The two of them were each afraid of each other, just like most high-level monks, they tacitly "cooperate" with each other. Anyway, as long as they restrain their opponents, they would be enough to complete the responsibilities they should bear in the war.
A war of this scale does not mean that one person can turn the tide. The victory or defeat between them is not very meaningful.
What really determines the outcome is the large number of monks in the Dharma phase and the Divine Travel Period, who are the main force of the army; at the same time, they fought in a group, and the casualties were the most severe. As for monks in the Qi and Mechanism stage, because their cultivation is too low and their magical powers are too weak, it is difficult for them to rush into the opponent's camp and they will become cannon fodder. They can only use magic power support from a distance, and the effect is not particularly significant.
In addition, Qimai stage disciples are the foundation of the forces of various major sects. If a large number of Qimai stage disciples are sent to fight, the casualties will definitely be very heavy. Even if the battle is won, the foundation of the sect will be shaken, and it may even be in a slump from now on. Therefore, in this battle, there were not many Qimai stage disciples participating in the battle.
When the war was going on the most intense and cruel, most high-level monks were fighting alone dozens of miles away from the battlefield, or small-scale melee in groups of three or five.
They are far away from the battlefield, on the one hand, because they are afraid of being suddenly attacked by several monks from the other side - that will be very dangerous; on the other hand, because the methods of the monks in the true body stage are too powerful, and if they are not careful, they can easily injure the low-level monks around them.
A huge war of monks unfolded on this desolate Gobi Desert. The battlefield has a range of hundreds of miles, from the extremely high place above the sky to the depths below the ground, fighting broke out.
"I heard that fellow Taoist Xingchen has passed away?" In addition to the instinctive battle, the Jade-faced Demon Lord suddenly asked Li Muran.
Li Muran nodded slightly, he didn't need to deny this.
The Jade-faced Demon Lord sighed and said, "I and fellow Taoist Xingchen have met each other. Although they had different ideas at that time and were out of opposition, I admire the character and supernatural powers of fellow Taoist Xingchen. If he hadn't been in charge of the Tianshan Sect, I would have probably been taken down by me long ago."
Li Muran nodded and said, "Senior Brother Xingchen has also mentioned you many times to me, saying that you are confident in your words. If you are not a demon cultivator, it is indeed worth dating."
The Jade-faced Demon Lord smiled bitterly and said, "Can we not make friends with the righteous monks because we are a demon cultivator? Both the righteous and the evil paths are both ways to seek immortality. Why do we have to distinguish this battle between the righteous and the demons so clearly, except for the increase in casualties?"
Li Muran's heart moved and said, "So, you do not agree with this battle between the righteous and the demons?"
The Jade-faced Demon Lord nodded: "I strongly opposed it at first, but unexpectedly, the great monks of the five super demon sects all agreed and insisted that they must fight the righteous path. Not only could I not dissuade me, but I was implicated and could not stay out of it."
