Chapter 234: Demon King: Zhao Lie
Did he even need to consider what he needed?
The Prince of Pingbian took out a seal from his bosom and handed it to Bai Cang next to him. Bai Cang took the seal and a smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty is wise, making the most correct choice."
The next moment, a roll of green gauze in Bai Cang's hand turned into smoke, wrapping the seal, and then he smiled lightly at the distant void: "Please, Demon King, show yourself and help!"
As his words fell, suddenly the sky and the earth darkened in the distance, a black hurricane rolled up, and a earth-shattering roar came from the distance. The roar was like thunder, directly shattering the big hand formed by the first master of the inner court using rubble.
A tiger roared, reaching the nine heavens above and shaking the netherworld below.
The tiger's roar seemed to contain a strange power that directly shook people's souls.
Even the souls of Yang Shen real people would be shaken and disordered by the tiger's roar, and it seemed that they could explode at any time.
"Not good! It's the great demon king of the demon clan, Zhao Lie!" Xie Lingyun exclaimed in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief: "How dare he cross the White Bone Great Wall without permission? Isn't he afraid that the Great Victory Dynasty's twelfth-order mystery will bring down heavenly punishment?"
Zhang Chen looked into the distance, and saw black wind filling the sky in the direction of Guanwai, blowing the sky into darkness as if night had fallen, which was truly terrifying. At first glance, he knew that this was another existence who had entered the Yang Shen realm. That kind of power to change the world was definitely not something that ordinary Yang Shen realm experts could possess.
"Who is Demon King Zhao Lie? Is he very famous?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Demon King Zhao Lie proved Dao at the ninth level a hundred years ago. He is an supreme powerhouse of the Tiger Clan. His physical body and blood are strong, and he is born with condensed blood. In addition, he has the blessing of bloodline abilities. He is simply the nemesis of our human race cultivators. Especially after proving Dao at the ninth level and mastering the power of heaven and earth, he swallowed thirty-six large and small tribes of the demon clan, and changed the name of the great demon to: Demon King. He has the ambition to swallow the world and encompass the four seas, and unify the demon clan. He is a great enemy of our human race."
Xie Lingyun's voice was full of seriousness:
"If it hadn't been for our human race secretly tripping him up these years, I'm afraid Zhao Lie would have unified the demon clan long ago and led an army of millions of demons across the White Bone Great Wall."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He finally knew the power of the great demon king Zhao Lie and knew how powerful he was.
"I just don't know who is stronger, Dugu Qiu or Zhao Lie," Zhang Chen asked curiously.
"Although Dugu Qiu has some skills, he is definitely not Zhao Lie's opponent. Zhao Lie is a fierce tiger coming out of the mountain, and his body naturally has a suppressive power against the human race," Xie Lingyun's voice was full of seriousness: "I'm afraid things are getting troublesome!"
Sure enough, Zhao Lie turned into a black wind, rose into the air, and fought with the old eunuch Dugu Qiu in the air. For a time, the sky and the earth were dark, and outsiders could not see the situation in the battlefield.
Suddenly, Dugu Qiu snorted coldly, his voice full of anger: "Zhao Lie, you dare to cross the White Bone Great Wall and come to my human territory to cause trouble. Today, I will let you see the power of my human race's twelfth-order mystery."
The next moment, the sky and clouds suddenly dissipated. Zhao Lie and the old eunuch Dugu Qiu each occupied half of the sky. Zhao Lie turned into a burly man with a human body and a tiger's head, his eyes cautiously staring at the opposite Dugu Qiu Yang Shen, as if he had met a natural enemy, his eyes full of caution. The old eunuch took out a scroll from his sleeve, and the scroll suddenly twisted and turned into a long spear.
"Imprint Trace!"
Zhao Lie looked at the long spear transformed from the scroll, and a look of unprecedented seriousness appeared in his eyes.
"What is Imprint Trace?" Zhang Chen turned to look at Xie Lingyun.
"That is when the twelfth-order mystery places its own mark on the carrier, so that the carrier has one-tenth of the power of the true mystery," Xie Lingyun explained.
"Do you see that long spear? This is one of the twelfth-order mysteries of the Great Victory Royal Family: Judgment. Once this spear locks on an enemy, it will automatically cross the void to attack. No matter whether you go to heaven or earth, or change in thousands of ways, you will not be able to escape. There is no way to avoid it except for resisting it head-on," Xie Lingyun said.
"The Great Victory Dynasty possesses such a divine weapon. As long as it imprints a few more copies, wouldn't it be invincible?" Zhang Chen said with amazement.
"You don't understand! The twelfth-order mystery cannot be easily mobilized. To mobilize the twelfth-order mystery, you need to fill it with lifespan. Fill it with the life of the Great Victory Dynasty monarch! The Great Victory Emperor is not a fool. Unless it is a matter of life and death, he will never easily mobilize the twelfth-order mystery," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and vaguely remembered that this world lacked mysterious substances, and all mysteries needed to be filled with human lifespan. The lifespan consumed by ordinary mysteries is already an astronomical figure, let alone the twelfth-order mystery?
The number consumed must be very, very large, so large that people cannot afford it.
"You want to kill me with just an Imprint Trace? You simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth," Zhao Lie roared, his body twisting and turning into a big tiger.
The big tiger was thirty meters tall, its fur was shiny and crystal clear, as if it was flashing with jade luster, and the black patterns on its body seemed to be alive, turning into a cloud of smoke covering its body.
"Please, Judgment of Fate!"
Dugu Qiu respectfully saluted the long spear, and the next moment the long spear shot out and stabbed towards Zhao Lie.
"Roar ~"
Zhao Lie roared, and the sound waves set off visible air waves, sweeping towards the long spear. However, mysterious and unpredictable runes flashed on the long spear, and the sound wave was directly pierced by the long spear. Then, the long spear had already arrived in front of Zhao Lie's tiger head in an instant, and stabbed towards Zhao Lie's head to kill him.
Seeing that the long spear had arrived in front of him, a look of horror appeared in Zhao Lie's eyes, but he was not flustered. Instead, at the critical moment, his body moved a few points inexplicably, and then the long spear, which should have pierced his head, landed on the position of his chest.
Although his chest was pierced, it was not fatal.
Zhao Lie is a fierce tiger, and also a big tiger. His blood is extremely powerful, and it has formed 'blood like mercury'. His physical body has already derived supernatural powers.
After the long spear pierced Zhao Lie, it left a transparent wound on Zhao Lie's body, and then turned into ashes and dissipated. Only golden blood flowed from the wound on Zhao Lie's body.
"What pure blood, I want to drink it!" Zhang Chen looked at the golden blood flowing from Zhao Lie, and a burst of impulse came from the crystal core in his heart.
"Zhao Lie's blood is a great tonic for me," Zhang Chen said to himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Zhao Lie roaring in the distance, and flesh sprouts grew out of the wound on his body, and it had completely healed in an instant.
"How could this be!" Dugu Qiu saw that Zhao Lie had avoided the fatal blow, and his expression finally changed. There was no longer the calmness and composure he had before, and no longer the confidence to control everything.
“People are bound to improve, aren't they? No one stagnates. Haven't I made progress in these decades?” Zhao Lie chuckled coldly, his eyes fixed on the old eunuch:
“Eat my fist!”
His fist erupted, distorting the void. This was a martial arts divine ability awakened after one's physical body and qi had reached a certain level of power.
Du Guqiu's palm grasped at the void, and countless bolts of lightning spontaneously arose, hurtling towards the Demon King Zhao Lie.
“Mere tricks, nothing more than amateurish displays before an expert.” Zhao Lie sneered, his fist bursting with astral qi. The endless lightning was directly shattered, and the fist continued with undiminished power, smashing aggressively towards Du Guqiu.
“Bang~”
That fist seemed to contain a unique power, and Du Guqiu's Yang Spirit seemed to be frozen in place, unable to break free. The next moment, the fist landed on Du Guqiu's Yang Spirit, directly shattering it.
However, the shattered Yang Spirit quickly reassembled in the distance, transforming back into Du Guqiu's original form, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Zhao Lie: “Impossible, how can you be so powerful?”
“I told you, no one can stagnate. Sixty years ago, you used the mysterious twelfth-order imprint to severely injure me. Sixty years later, with my flesh and blood regeneration divine ability, I am no longer the same as I was then.” Zhao Lie's voice was filled with triumph.
Du Guqiu's expression darkened upon hearing this, realizing that things had become much more troublesome. This Zhao Lie was likely already seeing the threshold of the tenth order, about to break the restrictions and evolve his flesh and blood.
“Lord, do not panic, Xie Xuan is here, willing to lend a hand.” Suddenly, divine light flowed from afar, and Xie Xuan's Yang Spirit arrived.
“Commander Xie, your arrival is timely. Let us work together to refine this beast to death!” Du Guqiu revealed a look of joy upon seeing Xie Xuan's arrival.
At this moment, from the Fifth Gentleman's manor in the distance, a surge of righteous qi soared into the sky: “You two, slaying demons and eliminating evil is our inescapable duty. If you want to slay demons and eliminate evil, how can you lack me?”
The Fifth Gentleman's body surged with righteous qi. His Yang Spirit emerged and joined the battlefield.
“Hahaha, with these three great Yang Spirits present, this beast will surely never return.” Du Guqiu was overjoyed.
“Unexpectedly, such a small Gou Lan County would gather three Yang Spirit experts. But so what? Do you all think I have no helpers?” Zhao Lie chuckled coldly. The next moment, a vast divine light soared into the sky, and a shadowy figure, indistinct and impossible to trace, landed beside Zhao Lie:
“Great Demon King, we need to renegotiate the distribution of the tree coffin and the corpses of gods and demons.” The newcomer's voice was muffled, making it impossible to discern their original voice.
“You still have helpers?” Du Guqiu looked at the man shrouded in divine light, his eyes filled with seriousness.
They couldn't distinguish between the path of incense and true Yang Spirits, but Zhang Chen, who possessed the Eye of Law, could see that the person before them was a powerhouse built up by incense, and he was very familiar with this person, it was Gu Mingyue, one of the twelve Grand Masters of the Yellow Sky Way.
“Kill!”
Responding to Gu Mingyue was Zhao Lie's roar. In an instant, the two sides fought into a团, wind and fire raged between heaven and earth, and thunder continued to fall, completely isolating everyone's sight and making it impossible to see the situation in the field.
“Fortunately, we have three human Yang Spirit experts in the Northern Lands, otherwise a major event would have occurred. But how is it that the Dasheng Dynasty's mysterious twelfth order has no reaction to the Demon King Zhao Lie stepping over the White Bone Great Wall and entering the pass?” Xie Lingyun's eyes looked towards the fighting parties, filled with doubt.
Zhang Chen also remained silent, retracting the Eye of Law from the battle, a serious look appearing in his eyes: “I didn't expect that there would be so many powerhouses in the Yang Spirit realm in the world.”
“There are not many Yang Spirit experts, it's just a coincidence that they gathered together.” Xie Lingyun said.
“It's just that I don't know what kind of background that newly appeared Yang Spirit expert has.” Xie Lingyun looked at Gu Mingyue's figure, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.
Zhang Chen pondered slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately did not speak, because no one would believe empty words. Who would believe him if he said the other party was Gu Mingyue?
The most important thing was that Gu Mingyue was even stronger than the last time they met, actually suppressing Xie Xuan.
“It seems that the Yellow Sky Way has been doing well with incense recently.” Zhang Chen said to himself.
In the distance, Zhang Chen's black wind rolled up, fire and lightning intertwined, and the world was昏昏, flying sand and stones, making it impossible to see the battle situation. Everyone fought fiercely from day to night, and then from night to dawn. Just as the first ray of purple qi rose in the east, the voice of the Grand Eunuch Du Guqiu came from the storm: “Zhao Lie, you dare to step into the White Bone Great Wall without authorization, I will definitely make you pay the price today. This method was originally intended to deal with the old dragon of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, but you ignorantly crashed into it, so you can't blame me.”
The next moment, a thunderous sound rang out between heaven and earth, accompanied by a series of screams. Then, the black wind blew beyond the clouds, causing the heaven and earth to sway continuously.
After a long while, when everything was calm, where were the Yang Spirit experts? Zhao Lie disappeared, and Du Guqiu and the others also disappeared.
The Pingbian Prince hurriedly summoned his soldiers to gather, only to find that the tree coffin and the corpses of gods and demons had also disappeared.
“What happened?” Zhang Chen looked at the empty sky in the distance with a bewildered expression. How could the various powerhouses leave so decisively?
“That Grand Eunuch actually brought the main body of the Dasheng Dynasty's mysterious twelfth order: Judgment. He must have severely injured Zhao Lie with the main body of Judgment, but I don't know if Zhao Lie survived. The Grand Eunuch mobilized Judgment, and he himself would be affected by the divine power and suffer heavy injuries. In order to prevent others from coveting the artifact, he can only choose to hide.”
Xie Lingyun said thoughtfully: “This is a battle of mutual destruction. Zhao Lie and that mysterious Yang Spirit expert suffered heavy injuries, and the Grand Eunuch must also be in a bad state. This method was originally reserved for the old dragon king's soul, but who knew that Zhao Lie would ignorantly crash into it.”
“As for what the outcome of this battle is? Who won and who lost? I still need to ask the leader of the Jiao Xiaosi.” Speaking of this
A look of anxiety appeared on Xie Lingyun's face:
“I'm leaving first, the Jiao Xiaosi must come forward next, otherwise I'm afraid the situation will become even more difficult to control. You hide yourself well, and don't cause any trouble. I'm afraid the Northern Lands will be in chaos next.”
After Xie Lingyun finished speaking, she left in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chen standing on the mountain in a daze, his eyes filled with emotion: “This time the scene is not ordinary, of course, the things and troubles are also not ordinary.”
