The Carefree Little Immortal, Episode 2: Springtime on a Lonely Island, Chapter 5: Fierce Battle in the Air

Fei Luo gasped, blurting out, "You...you're still alive?"

The Skeleton Ancestor turned slightly, his dark eye sockets facing her, seemingly laughing, "Dead? I've long since reached the realm of immortality, who can kill me!"

Fei Luo felt a chill in her heart, as if a tangible, overwhelming aura was pressing down on her. She hurriedly channeled her energy to resist, refusing to show weakness, saying, "I know at least one—Fen Xu of Jukuzhou!"

"Haha, what is Fen Xu! It's just that that fellow's methods are strange. I was caught off guard back then and suffered a loss. If he dares to come again, I will definitely annihilate him, body and soul!"

The Skeleton Ancestor grinned again, his eerie aura rippling out like waves.

Everyone hurriedly channeled their energy to resist. Zhai Xia, whose cultivation was the weakest, swayed and almost fell off the Dream Entry platform. Fortunately, Xue Han grabbed her and channeled her true energy to protect her heart meridian.

Fei Luo quietly gathered her spiritual power and sneered, "I'm afraid someone's just being stubborn and guilty."

"What a sharp tongue! Who are you, kid?"

The Skeleton Ancestor pointed at the ferocious bone dragon in front of him and chuckled, "Look at this pitiful dragon. Do you know its origin?"

Li Mengtang stared at a giant, blood-red pearl like a gemstone under the bone dragon's chin and said solemnly, "The Li Dragon is transformed from a ten-thousand-year-old Azure Dragon. It hides in the Ninefold Abyss, nourished by countless essences of Gui Water. After forming the pearl, it can ward off all filth and poisons and devour demons and evil spirits."

"Devour demons and evil spirits?"

The Skeleton Ancestor laughed loudly, "Let me tell you, this Li Dragon is the key to the restriction and the spirit of suppressing evil spirits left by that scoundrel Fen Xu in the Great Swamp. But now, not only can it not devour this old skeleton ancestor, it has become my chariot's slave!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was secretly surprised and immediately thought of the abandoned mysterious pavilion on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Cui Caiting shook her head and said, "Impossible! This kind of supreme exorcising artifact is the nemesis of demons and evil spirits. Your plan is no match for it!"

The Skeleton Ancestor's voice suddenly turned fierce: "Enough nonsense! Quickly hand over the Demon Lord's Cover, or the Demon Clan will annihilate you body and soul!"

Xiao Xuan was shocked, his mind trembled, and he almost took the Seven Evil Cover out of his Ruyi Pouch in a daze.

The others were also shocked. Fei Luo asked, "What Demon Lord's Cover?"

"I'll say it again, hand over the Seven Evil Cover."

The Skeleton Ancestor's tone returned to calm, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

Fei Luo laughed and said, "That's strange. That evil artifact has been lost for decades. If you want it, why don't you ask the Seven Evil Demon Lords for it?"

Her words were mocking, clearly knowing the origin of the Seven Evil Cover.

It turned out that the Seven Evil Demon Lords had long since vanished into thin air. Even if they were still alive, how could the Skeleton Ancestor dare to ask for it? The Skeleton 　　Ancestor flew

into a rage, his voice cold as he said, "Since you refuse to obey, then taste my power!"

Before his words had even finished, the blood-bone dragon in front of him suddenly unfurled its body, sweeping forward with a fierce wind. Cui Caiting swiftly flew forward on her sword. 　　Fei Luo and the others knew she couldn't be distracted, so they all focused their energy on defense. 　　Ru Meng flew extremely fast, but the blood-bone dragon was no slower at all, its claws slashing out, a powerful and sinister current tearing through the air. 　　Xue Han flicked her sleeve, revealing the Golden Shield. With a low hum, a huge golden shield instantly appeared, protecting everyone. 　　The current struck the shield, producing a terrifying cracking sound. Five cracks appeared on the golden shield. Xue Han's heart trembled, and she hurriedly gathered her Golden Qi to resist, quickly repairing the shield. 　　The bone dragon continued its clawing attacks, the force of its attacks growing stronger and stronger, causing Ru Meng, who was flying, to sway. 　　Xue Han's light shield trembled violently, its surface flashing with dazzling light. 　　A moment later, Xue Han was drenched in sweat, her face flushed, and her slender body swayed uncontrollably. She suddenly shifted to a kneeling stance to support herself. 　　Everyone knew her skill was formidable, yet she appeared to be struggling in such a short time, causing them all to be secretly astonished. 　　Cui Caiting suddenly said to Fei Luo, "You take the sword." 　　Besides her, Fei Luo was the only one among the group who had reached the Flying Immortal realm. 　　Knowing she was about to intervene, Fei Luo hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Skeleton Demon is no ordinary being, and with this demonized dragon added to the mix, it's best for us to retreat for now. We'll report to the sect leader and then come with our disciples to exterminate them another day." Cui 　　Caiting said, "Without killing this ghost dragon, we can't escape them!" 　　She immediately formed hand seals, and suddenly circles of light rippled outwards. 　　Fei Luo hurriedly took over the sword, only to realize that due to the bone dragon's interference, entering the dream realm couldn't be accelerated at all. 　　Cui Caiting's face turned grim, and a pale purple, perfectly round sphere of light materialized from her clasped hands. 　　Xiao Xuan, seeing this, immediately knew she was about to unleash the Five Elements Return to Origin technique, and his heart trembled: "This demon and dragon have actually forced Master to use her ultimate technique right off the bat!" 　　The purple sphere rapidly expanded, its color deepening, with tiny, cyan-blue sparks occasionally snaking across its surface. Cui Caiting shouted, and the two-foot-long sphere shot from her hands, flying unhurriedly towards the blood-bone dragon that was chasing after it with its claws. 　　Sensing the powerful threat, the skeleton dragon roared and spewed a flame-like azure breath from its mouth to meet the sphere. 　　The two clashed, and the purple sphere melted away like a snowball, but still pierced through the azure breath, heading straight for the skeleton dragon's face. 　　The skeletal dragon hurriedly shook its head, but unexpectedly, the purple orb followed it, as if it had eyes, silently piercing its bony neck. About a breath later, the skeletal dragon unleashed a deafening roar, causing its massive body to twist and contort, several huge red bones blasting off its neck… 　　Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a pang of sadness for it; a thousand-year-old phoenix had once been instantly disintegrated by this ultimate technique. 　　Unexpectedly, the seemingly severely injured skeletal dragon swung through the air, its twisted body instantly straightening. Then, with a contraction and a leap, it shot up like a rainbow above Ru Meng, a huge bony claw swooping down. 　　Everyone was shocked. Xue Han hurriedly raised her shield to block, but this time the light shield was torn apart like paper. Cui Caiting, still recovering from her shock, used her palms to block the skeletal dragon's thunderous attack. 　　Ru Meng shuddered violently, tilting downwards, nearly throwing everyone off. Cui Caiting quickly regained control of her sword, steadied it, and leaped forward. 　　The skeletal dragon pursued relentlessly. 　　"Five Elements Return to Origin..." 　　the skeletal patriarch's sinister laughter echoed from behind: "So you're disciples of the Xuan Sect, good! Excellent! Chong Yuanzi is one of the people I hate most. The Demon Clan will now unleash a massacre!" 　　Fei Luo swayed slightly, her lips parted, and she vomited a mouthful of blood. It turned out that although her cultivation was high, martial arts were not her forte. In the emergency, she had blocked the skeletal dragon's heavy blow, injuring her internal energy. 　　Xiao Wan and Xiao Xuan quickly supported her from both sides, while Li Mengtang formed a hand seal, intending to use a healing spell to treat her. 　　Fei Luo shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. Let's get rid of the enemy first." 　　Cui Caiting, slightly out of breath, said, "The Ghost Dragon is powerful. I'll try using Five Elements Return to Origin again to attack that old demon." 　　With that, she strained to form a hand seal, and a purple orb of light condensed again in her hand. She had already used Five Elements Return to Origin four times today, consuming a great deal of spiritual energy, and was gradually feeling the strain. 　　Fei Luo said to Li Mengtang, "Let's all come together. Mengtang, you use an arrow to shoot that old monster too." 　　Li Mengtang agreed, took out the Wooden Mother Divine Bow from her magic bag, and drew the string and nocked an arrow.

Fei Luo plucked a shimmering purple hairpin from her temple and said, "I'll attack simultaneously on count one, two, three, so that old monster can't defend himself."

Xiao Xuan, seeing the hairpin, felt a chill run down his spine, for his invincible general, the weapon of countless efforts he had poured into, had been destroyed by this beautiful little thing.

"One...two...three!"

As Fei Luo counted to three, a ball of purple light, a dazzling azure beam, and a flash of purple lightning simultaneously shot out, all attacking the Skeleton Ancestor on the chariot.

Xiao Xuan was dazzled, thinking, "Both are supreme martial arts techniques, both are renowned divine weapons, both are treasures made from ancient beast horns—how could this old monster not be doomed!"

The Skeleton Ancestor calmly raised two fingers and pointed at a black skull embedded in the chariot shaft. Suddenly, four curtains of dark flames rose around the chariot, interspersed with countless blood-red magical symbols, completely enveloping the entire chariot.

The dazzling azure light arrived first, seemingly slowing down as it entered the inky flames. It revealed itself as an arrow, its entire body a vibrant azure with feathers resembling green leaves, before burning away almost entirely. When it finally broke through the inky flames, less than a quarter of its original size remained.

"Could it be the Flame of Asura?"

Li Mengtang's beautiful face paled slightly as she nocked another wooden arrow.

The Skeleton Ancestor flicked his sleeve, and a strange crimson light completely devoured the remaining part of the arrow.

At that moment, the purple orb of light touched the inky flames, exploding with a deafening roar. The violent shockwave distorted everyone's vision; all that could be seen was the skeletal dragon pulling the chariot being overturned by the shock, its massive skeletal body being flung even higher into the air.

But the Skeleton Ancestor's sinister laughter rang in everyone's ears: "Hahaha! The Five Elements Returning to the Origin is nothing more than this!"

A chill ran through everyone's hearts, but Xiao Xuan wondered, "What other deadly little thing is there?"

The fluctuations quickly subsided, and the Skeleton Chariot appeared unharmed in everyone's sight. The Skeleton Ancestor's laughter grew even more maniacal: "Even if Chong Yuanzi himself came, I'm afraid he couldn't do anything to the Demon Clan's indestructible Skeleton Dragon Guard!"

Just as he was feeling smug, a bolt of purple lightning flashed before his eyes, eerily zigzing across the night sky. Then, a mournful howl was heard from the Skeleton Dragon. Its massive body, which had not yet regained its balance, suddenly trembled violently, and the blood-red pearl under its chin shattered, the crystalline fragments falling like rain, scattering a cloud of eerie, dreamlike crimson splendor in the air.

The purple lightning was none other than the Purple Rhinoceros Hairpin. It turned out that Fei Luo, seeing that the Skeleton Ancestor's chariot was extremely strong, had changed her attack direction, striking the pearl in the instant the Skeleton Dragon lost its balance.

The Pearl of Li was the Li Dragon's vital point, not only the source of its spiritual power but also the weakest point on its powerful body. It immediately lost its former might, struggling futilely in the air before plummeting downwards.

The Skeleton Ancestor, filled with shock and rage, roared and leaped from his seat. With incredible speed, he completed an extremely complex hand seal. Before the chariot was torn down by the falling bone dragon, a blood-red, humanoid shadow shot from his body, flying ghostly towards the group on the Dream Platform.

"Soul Devouring Curse!"

Li Mengshang's face paled. She released the bowstring and fired a second arrow at the oncoming blood shadow. The Azure Flower,

emerging from the Wooden Mother Bow, clashed with the blood shadow, vanishing instantly, but the blood shadow's momentum remained

undiminished. Just as Xue Han was about to meet it, Cui Caiting leaped forward first, her hands circling and pushing, conjuring a seemingly tangible golden light barrier in front of her—the Immovable Golden罡 Technique, the strongest defensive technique among the Five Elements of Ruyi.

However, the blood shadow passed through the golden light barrier, only slightly paler, and pounced into Cui Caiting's body like a demon.

Cui Caiting groaned and slumped softly onto the sword, her skin turning eerily crimson in the blink of an eye. Shui Ruo, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Xuan rushed to help her up, but their hands immediately felt the burning heat on her skin. They were shocked and cried out in unison, "Second Senior Sister, come quickly!"

The skeletal dragon and the skeletal chariot plummeted rapidly. From the darkness came the furious roar of the Skeleton Ancestor: "You will not escape! The Demon Clan will turn you all into blood skeletons, my slaves for eternity!"

With a loud crash, everyone looked and saw that the bone dragon and the skeletal chariot had crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of sand and dust. Incredibly, the skeletal dragon was rapidly shrinking, a truly bizarre sight.

"Could this ghost dragon be a phantom beast?"

Xiao Xuan was curious, but his mind was on his master, so he couldn't look any further. Turning his head, he saw Cui Caiting's face was as red as blood, and Li Mengtang, who had rushed over, seemed helpless. He became even more panicked.

At this time, Ru Meng had been uncontrolled for a while and was teetering on the brink of collapse. Fei Luo retrieved the Purple Rhinoceros Hairpin and immediately took over the sword, driving Ru Meng away from the danger at high speed.

"How is it?"

Xiao Xuan asked.

Li Mengtang touched his master's wrist and examined it for a while. His face was pale as he said, "It must be one of the demon's three unique evil techniques—the Soul Devouring Curse! I can't break it."

Everyone knew that her healing skills were unparalleled among the new generation of rogue immortals in the mortal realm. They didn't expect her to say such a thing, and they all panicked.

Fang Shaolin said, "I've heard Master say that the Skeleton Demon's Soul-Devouring Curse is extremely powerful. Those afflicted cannot resist it with external force, and it has injured many highly skilled individuals."

Li Mengtang nodded, "Indeed, I just tried it, and I couldn't find the source of that evil power at all."

Xiao Wan hurriedly sought help, saying, "Third Martial Aunt is currently on Xiaoyao Peak. She possesses boundless magical power and will surely have a solution. Why don't we hurry back?" Fei

Luo looked at Cui Caiting worriedly, saying, "Flying such a long distance on a sword, I'm afraid she can't withstand it."

Sword flight is incredibly fast, requiring the rider to possess a certain amount of true qi to sustain it.

"Master, can you still gather your true qi?"

Xue Han asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

Cui Caiting struggled to sit up, her voice weak, "Find... find a quiet place... I'll dispel it myself..."

She seemed to be forming a hand seal to resist the invading curse, but suddenly slumped over again.

Shui Ruo was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes: "Let's find a place to stop quickly, Master seems to be unable to hold on!"

Fei Luo wanted to stop as well, but they were still in the Great Swamp, and Cui Caiting, the strongest among them, had already lost her fighting ability. If the Skeleton Ancestor caught up with them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xue Han, Li Mengshang, and the others had obviously thought of this as well, and their eyes all showed worry .

Xiao Xuan suddenly pointed down and said, "Uncle-Master, how about we land here?"

Everyone looked down and saw a dense forest surrounding a green lake, with a small island in the center of the lake, which was the place they had visited yesterday. Fei Luo's heart stirred slightly.

“Isn’t there a place on this island where the essence of life gathers? It’s perfect for helping Master break the curse! And…”

Xiao Xuan continued, “This island is surrounded by water, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If those demons come after us, we can use the terrain to hold them off for a while.”

Fei Luo gave him a rather approving look and said, “That makes some sense.” She

immediately flew down on her sword and landed on the green platform on the island. After everyone dismounted, she chanted an incantation to restore Ru Meng to its original size and ordered her maid, Zhai Xia, to put her into Cui Caiting’s magic pouch.

Xiao Xuan carried his master on his back and rushed into the building, placing Cui Caiting on the green stone platform in the center of the main hall, which was the very spot where the essence of life had gathered that they had discovered yesterday.

Cui Caiting immediately felt her spirits lifted and was finally able to sit in meditation, beginning to form hand seals and circulate her energy to heal herself.

Everyone stood silently by, their hearts filled with anxiety.

After a while, they suddenly heard Cui Caiting say weakly, "You should all go and rest. In just a few hours, I will be able to break the curse."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Seeing that although her skin was burning hot, her breathing was calm and even, they felt a little relieved.

By this time, it was already dawn. Everyone hadn't slept all night, and their faces showed signs of exhaustion.

Fei Luo said, "Two people will stay here to guard, and the rest of you should go and rest. We'll rotate in a while."

No one was willing to do that, but Fei Luo added, "Those demons might come after us at any time. If you don't rest properly, how will you have the energy to fight them?"

Only then did everyone compromise. Xue Han and Xiao Xuan insisted on taking the first shift to guard their master, and the rest of them left the hall to rest.

Xiao Xuan recalled the experiences of the past day and a half since descending the mountain, feeling only fear and trepidation. He suddenly whispered to Xue Han, who was meditating and adjusting her breathing, "Senior Sister." "

Hmm?"

Xue Han looked up at him.

Xiao Xuan asked, "Senior Sister, have you heard of the Demon Lord's Cover that the Skeleton Demon was chasing after us for?"

"Of course I have," Xue Han replied thoughtfully. "It's one of the Seven Evil Demon Lords' most treasured artifacts, lost for decades."

"I'm curious why the Skeleton Demon suddenly came to demand it from us..." Xiao Xuan asked

, "What exactly is the Demon Lord's Cover?"

Xue Han explained, "The Demon Lord's Cover, also known as the Seven Evil Cover, is a notoriously evil magic weapon. Legend says the Seven Evil Demon Lords' powerful magic originated from this item, because it absorbs seven evil energies from the world and transforms them into magic power for its master."

Xiao Xuan felt a surge of panic, then remembered what Mi Dingzi had said, and unconsciously touched the Ruyi Pouch at his waist, saying, "Seven evil energies..."

"It's anger, resentment, jealousy, lust, greed, cruelty, and arrogance!"

Xue Han frowned and said, "When the Seven Demon Lords were still around, in order to collect these seven evil energies, they constantly stirred up chaos and hatred, creating countless horrific bloodshed incidents. They were truly wicked. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao has its balance, and in the end, they could not escape destruction."

"Those Seven Demon Lords seem very powerful..."

Xiao Xuan said.

"Of course, he's on par with the Evil Emperor Yuan Yi, one of the four great demon lords of the world. Moreover, his Seven Absolute Realms are incomparably powerful, with countless demons under his command,"

Xiao Xuan said. "In that case, even the Skeleton Demon King is probably no match for this Seven Evil Demon Lord."

"A world of difference,"

Xue Han said. "From any perspective, the Skeleton Demon King's strength is far inferior to the Seven Evil Demon Lord."

Xiao Xuan gasped, "So powerful, what happened to him? How did the Seven Evil Demon Lord perish? Was he defeated by the Heavenly Court?"

"No, the Heavenly Court twice sent troops to conquer the Seven Absolute Realms, but both times ended in failure,"

Xue Han said.

Xiao Xuan was very surprised: "Ah! Who could possibly defeat him?"

Xue Han suddenly fell silent, seemingly hesitant.

Xiao Xuan asked, "Why are you silent now?"

Xue Han seemed lost in thought.

Xiao Xuan grew anxious and grabbed her arm, shaking it, "What's so hard about talking about this?"

Xue Han finally said, "It's alright to talk about it, but that person is feared by gods, Buddhas, and demons alike, so it's best not to mention him."

Xiao Xuan was even more surprised and asked several times in a row, "Feared by gods, Buddhas, and demons alike? Is there such a person in the world? What's his name?"

"His name is Xuan Xuanzi,"

Xue Han answered the last question.

Xiao Xuan's heart suddenly trembled, and a strange feeling suddenly swept over him.

Xue Han continued, "Legend has it he belonged to the Xuanhu lineage, not belonging to the Nine Netherworlds or the Ten Categories, not entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation, not within the Three Realms and Five Elements... Hey, Xiao Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Me? Nothing."

Xiao Xuan said absentmindedly, "The Seven Evil Demon Lords were killed by him?"

Xue Han said, "Legend has it they once fought, and the result was the Seven Evil Demon Lords were annihilated, and the Seven Evil Covers disappeared without a trace. Some say the Seven Evil Covers were destroyed by Xuan Xuanzi."

Xiao Xuan thought, "Destroyed, but Mi Dingzi spent nineteen years repairing it..."

For some reason, he felt an unusual longing to know about Xuan Xuanzi, and asked, "Then... what happened to Xuan Xuanzi?"

"Legend has it he later fought the Evil Emperor Yuan Yi, but this time both were severely injured. Thanks to him, the severely weakened Evil Emperor fought our sect for the spiritual vein, and our sect was defeated."

"And then what?"

"Shortly after Xuanxuanzi clashed with the Evil Emperor, the Heavenly Court dispatched troops to suppress him. After a fierce and terrifying battle, they finally subdued him, reportedly annihilating him both physically and spiritually."

Xiao Xuan's heart tightened for no apparent reason, and he asked, "Since Xuanxuanzi was an enemy of two great demon lords, he must not be a bad person. Why did the Heavenly Court still send troops to eliminate him?"

"It is said that he disrupted the Mandate of Heaven, causing changes in the world. Moreover, he is of the Xuanhu lineage, which is already tabooed by gods and Buddhas. Therefore, the Heavenly Court wanted to deal with him."

"Why would being of the Xuanhu lineage incur the taboo of gods and Buddhas?"

Xiao Xuan felt that Xue Han's words were very vague and asked in confusion, "These legends about Xuanxuanzi are earth-shattering, yet I have never heard of a single one of them?"

“Because you’ve been on the mountain the whole time, and…”

Xuehan glanced at Cui Caiting, who was meditating with her eyes closed on the jade platform, and whispered, “And Master seems to really dislike anyone talking about Xuanxuanzi, so naturally you won’t hear these things… Sigh, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Xiao Xuan was still in a daze, his thoughts hazy and unfocused.

At noon, everyone hastily ate their dry rations, and Li Mengtang and Zhaixia replaced Xuehan with Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan came out of the main hall, feeling extremely tired, so he found a shady spot in the stone corridor behind the building and lay down. Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, something flashed in front of him. He quickly opened his eyes and saw a cluster of bright blue phosphorescent light slowly descending from the treetops.

“What is that?”

He jumped up, his heart filled with doubt and surprise: “Could it be those demons chasing after us?”

His sleepiness vanished instantly, and he quietly crept over.

Among several large trees, a delicate and beautiful woman seemed to have just finished dancing. Although her hands and feet had retracted, her sleeves and skirt still swayed, and her pair of plump and round breasts still swayed.

"So it's Martial Aunt! What are you doing?"

Xiao Xuan darted out from behind the tree with a grin.

"Wait, don't come any closer!"

Fei Luo shouted urgently.

But it was too late. Several thick vines suddenly shot out from the treetops, binding Xiao Xuan, who had stepped among the trees, like giant pythons, and swirling him upside down in mid-air.

Xiao Xuan felt the vines tighten rapidly, the force of which was surprisingly strong, and he was almost suffocated. Just as he was about to struggle, a blue electric spark as thick as a bowl struck from nowhere, making him see stars and almost faint.

In the dizzying moment, Xiao Xuan saw Fei Luo giggling, laughing so hard that she clutched her stomach and bent over.
