Seeing that the entrance of his cave had been blown into a mess, the high-level fire rat suddenly became furious. Its red hair stood up in the wind and swayed like flames in the wind.
When Feng Laogui saw that the fire rat had come out, he immediately ordered the puppet to retreat, and the man and the beast slowly retreated.
The fire rat opened its mouth and a powerful flame sprayed towards Feng Laogui. Feng Laogui did not panic at this. He had dealt with this monster several times and was very familiar with its magical powers.
Seeing the flames coming, Feng Laogui quickly pinched the magic spell with his right hand and slowly released a wall of water to block the flames. After blocking the flames, he stuck a magic talisman on himself and sped up his retreat.
The fire rat saw that this hateful human monk who had harassed its cave many times recently wanted to escape again, so it jumped and chased after him in great anger. The high-level fire rat was also extremely fast, and soon shortened the distance between itself and Feng Laogui. It also sprayed out more than a dozen flames along the way, making Feng Laogui unable to resist.
Seeing that the Flame Rat had already left the cave entrance, Old Ghost Feng hurriedly shouted into the distance, "Fellow Daoist Song, quickly block the monster's retreat."
Before that, when the white tiger puppet beast just took action, Song Qingming had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak to the side of the fire rat's cave. Seeing that Feng Laogui led the fire rat away, Song Qingming quickly appeared and blocked the fire rat's rear, cutting off its retreat.
He waved his hands and released his magic weapons, the Fiery Sun Sword and the Black Gold Shield. Facing a high-level monster, he could not afford to slack off and had to use all his strength.
He had been refining these two magical weapons for many years, and now he was very adept at using them. The Fiery Sun Sword emitted a beam of fire that hit the tail of the Flame Rat, causing its red and black tail to burn.
The fire rat felt its tail being attacked, turned around and shook, and the flames burning on its tail were instantly extinguished. It was a fire-attributed monster, so it was naturally not afraid of fire attacks. Song Qingming's attack did not cause any harm to it.
However, Song Qingming's attack still delayed its attack on Feng Laogui. Jia Sixing, who was hiding behind, took this opportunity to support Feng Laogui. The three of them surrounded the fire rat from the front and back.
Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, the Fire Rat did not show any panic. Instead, it showed its sharp teeth in its mouth and became very manic.
After confronting the three people for a while, the fire rat quickly launched another attack. Flames flowed on its body, and a black fire cloud spit out from its squeaking mouth. The fire cloud floated in the air for a while and then turned into a black cloud with a radius of five or six feet, and rushed towards Feng Laogui and the other two at a rapid speed.
"Be careful, this is the unique spell of the Fire Rat, Fire Miasma." Feng Laogui shouted to Jia Sixing beside him. He had known about this spell for a long time. On the way here, he had already told Song Qingming and the others about the characteristics of the Fire Rat and how to deal with it.
The most difficult spell to deal with on the Fire Rat is the Fire Miasma spell. Once covered by the Fire Miasma, the cultivator will soon lose his direction in the smoke. The Fire Miasma also contains the fire poison that has been cultivated in the body of the Fire Rat for many years. If the cultivator cannot escape for a long time, his eyes may be blinded by the smoke.
Seeing the black fire cloud coming, Feng Laogui and the others did not dare to be careless. Jia Sixing immediately took out a high-quality wind talisman that he had prepared long ago.
A tornado rose from the ground and instantly swept away all the black fire clouds above their heads.
Wherever the strong wind passed, even the gravel on the ground was swept away, revealing the bare mountainside.
A first-grade, top-grade talisman costs at least ten spirit stones. In order to deal with this fire rat, Feng Laogui specially found Captain Lu Yunfei to exchange for this top-grade talisman, and handed it to Jia Sixing. While the fire rat released the fireworks miasma in its body, Jia Sixing seized this good opportunity, sacrificed this top-grade talisman, and blew away the fireworks miasma of the fire rat.
Fireworks miasma is the Fire Rat's innate magic spell that has been cultivated in its body for many years. If it wants to use it again, it will not be possible for the Fire Rat to use it without three to five years of cultivation and practice.
Without this spell, the Fire Rat's magical power instantly dropped by 20% to 30%. It immediately began to panic and wanted to escape back into the cave when it saw that the situation was not good.
When it turned around, it bumped into Song Qingming's black gold shield. Song Qingming held the shield with his right hand to hold down the hard head of the fire rat, and with his left hand he released the Lieyang Sword and slashed at the fire rat's neck. Unexpectedly, the fire rat stretched out the iron claws on its forelimbs and hooked his flying sword.
Song Qingming wanted to take back the flying sword, but it slipped out of his hand in an instant and was slapped to the ground by the Fire Rat. Song Qingming's left hand also felt numb at the base of the palm, and the Fire Rat took the opportunity to push him back several steps.
Even if high-level monsters do not use magic, their bodies are still very hard. If Song Qingming had not practiced the Yuxuan Sutra and had not had more magic power in his body than the average cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he would have been pushed back by the fire rat and let it escape back into the cave.
Once the monster escapes into the cave, even if the three of them join forces, the cave is too small to display their magical powers. The fire rats rely on the terrain and can easily escape even if they are defeated. If this happens, then the three of them will have worked in vain.
Just when Song Qingming was finding it difficult to resist, Feng Laogui and Jia Sixing also used their magic weapons to attack the fire rat.
Jia Sixing seemed to have practiced a good set of footwork. He was as light as a swallow, and his feet seemed to be stepping on a purple cloud. He appeared around the fire rat out of nowhere, holding two short blades more than half a foot long in his hands, constantly leaving blood marks on the fire rat.
Every time the fire rat tried to fight back, his agile figure dodged it, making it so angry that it kept spewing flames into the air.
Although Jia Sixing's attack did not cause much damage to the fire rat, it always attracted a large part of its attention.
Among the three, Feng Laogui was the one mainly responsible for the attack. With Song Qingming and Jia Sixing holding him back, Feng Laogui's high-quality golden flying sword quickly cut off one of the fire rat's tails. His white tiger puppet also began to emit bursts of lightning continuously, causing the fire rat to tremble constantly.
The gold-attributed martial arts practiced by Old Ghost Feng is second only to the rare thunder-attributed martial arts in terms of offensive means. His cultivation has long reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his magic power is more advanced than that of Song Qingming and Jia Sixing.
The high-grade flying sword he summoned was also quite sharp, and with the help of the White Tiger Puppet, even though he faced the Fire Rat alone several times before, although he failed to defeat the monster, he was able to escape unscathed.
This time, with the help of Song Qingming and the others, they broke the Fire Rat's most powerful fire miasma ability. The Fire Rat was quickly beaten back, and when it tried to escape, it was entangled by Song Qingming and the others.
After two incense sticks of fierce fighting, and a squeaking whine, Feng Laogui cut off the fire rat's head with a clean sword, and the three of them successfully ended the battle.
After killing the Flame Rat, Old Ghost Feng looked at its corpse with some reluctance for a few seconds, then said with a chuckle, "Haha, we've finally gotten rid of this monster. I'll go get the White Jade Flower, and I'll leave this place to you two fellow Taoists."
