Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1350: Yin Shuai

Dong Zai's announcement was so resounding that the demons surrounding the palace stopped in their tracks for a moment.

The demons were fearless and unafraid of death because they were cruel by nature, and most of them were bloodthirsty and murderous. But the demons present were all intelligent, and they would not continue to move forward knowing that they would die.

He showed an unusual expression and gently turned the umbrella in his hand.

"Demon Slaying Platform?"

Even a demon king like Wu Chang couldn't help but marvel at this moment. With a long life span, he had naturally seen the opening of the Heavenly Palace several times. The power of the ritual increased with the increase of sacrifices. Generally, the Heavenly Palace only sealed the soldiers and generals of the heavens, and the more powerful ones would manifest some top priesthoods. But now, turning the entire palace into the Lingxiao Palace could be said to be the highest standard of this sacrifice.

To be able to do this, it was still relying on the current national strength of the Wei Dynasty to gather the sacrifices. Wu Chang was very willing to applaud the emperor. However, the problem of the Heavenly Palace was also very obvious. Outside the Lingxiao Palace, it had not been included in the protection range. If the demons surrounded it but did not attack, the emperor would probably have to send his soldiers to destroy them. However, if they left the palace, these heavenly soldiers and generals would not be able to use the palace's most direct combat power improvement.

Unfortunately, the demons are also in a state of being on the verge of death. The Ghost King is in charge of the sacrificial rituals carried out in Fengdu, and this ritual cannot be stopped, just like it was a thousand years ago, and the demons have no reason to stop.

At this time, a strong evil aura came from all directions. Wu Chang looked up and saw a demon with several pairs of fins on its back smashing a row of houses and crawling out from the ground. The only eye on its forehead emitted a fierce light. Then, a huge red mouth appeared out of thin air. With a crisp creaking sound, all the bodies of the demons that fell outside the door were swallowed by the mouth. Then the mouth shrank quickly, and a nine-headed bird fell from the sky. Its body was only the size of a human head, but the nine heads were of different colors, and its feathers were stained red with blood, which looked quite ferocious.

Finally, several demons that were almost humanoid walked out from the end of the street. The one leading them was holding several human heads in his hands. There was an evil smile on his leopard-like head, and a steel-gray tail was swinging behind him.

“Leopard Tail, can’t you eat in a more graceful manner?” The one-eyed demon slightly hunched his body, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

The leading demon tilted his head, but a voice came out from his abdomen: "Gill, you are not much better, but I eat meat and you eat vegetables, so you look cleaner."

"How are you three?" Wu Chang asked with a smile.

"I'm full!" The nine heads of the bird's beak spoke at the same time. "Why, is this the gift that the current emperor prepared for us? The Heavenly Palace - he really knows how to do it. How many people did he kill to create such a Heavenly Palace?"

"The Demon Slaying Platform? It must have taken a lot of effort to make this thing." Leopard Tail sneered, "But I want to see if it is as the rumors say, that all demons will be slain. It would have been fine if it was a true immortal back then, but a mere mortal emperor..."

As he said that, Leopard Tail actually walked towards the gate in a dignified manner, threw a few heads to the ground, clapped his hands violently, shouted loudly, and rushed straight into the gate of the palace!

The golden light responded instantly and cut down in an instant, cutting the leopard tail into two sections at the chest, but the leopard tail's momentum did not slow down, and the two halves of the body actually flew through the door separately. Then the hands of the upper body suddenly stretched out and directly grabbed the lower half of the body that was falling. The two halves of the wound came together and quickly closed up and healed into one, and it actually forced its way through the gate of the palace!

“Hahaha! That’s all!”

Leopard Tail laughed loudly towards the sky, and upon seeing this, the golden-armored soldiers in the palace immediately picked up their spears and short swords and rushed towards Leopard Tail.

"Oh, there are too many people here. Don't just stand there. Come and help me!" Leopard Tail laughed and rushed forward with his fists. Several of its followers followed suit and rushed directly through the golden light of the demon-slaying platform and rushed into the palace to fight against the heavenly soldiers.

"This fool..." Fish Gill muttered.

Several demon kings knew that Leopard Tail was calling out to them, but apart from Leopard Tail's special abilities, they could not physically withstand the effects of the Demon Slaying Platform.

"Oh? Why are you all just surrounding here instead of attacking?"

At this moment, Yeyou fell down from the sky, its eyes staring at the palace wrapped in the "Heaven", and a smile appeared at the corner of its mouth.

"So that's how it is. All of you colleagues have great magical powers, but you can't pass the Demon Slaying Platform?"

"Are you here to make fun of me?" Bird's Beak shouted, "Think of a solution quickly, those heavenly soldiers must taste good! Don't let Leopard Tail eat them all!"

Ye You smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, don't worry. Where are the Bull Head, Horse Face, and Hornet? Could it be that they were stopped outside the city by a group of demon-suppressing officials?"

"The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced cannot come over for the time being."

Accompanied by a strong wind, the wasp sprinted from the air, looking a little more irritable.

"Sir Hornet is really quick. He deserves to be our sharp ears and sharp eyes." Ye You turned in the air, straightened his body, and then clapped his hands lightly.

"Since the Yin Marshal has reached the seventh, I will open the passage for everyone."

"Seven?" Yu Ji looked around, a little confused for a moment.

However, those who were more familiar with Night Travel, such as Bird's Mouth and Impermanence, already knew it. A beam of golden light split the sky, and Day Travel emerged from the shining spear, raised his palm, and shook hands with Night Travel.

At this moment, all the drifting snow condensed into lines, turning into countless diagonal white snow threads between the sky and the earth. Day Tour and Night Tour each stretched out their other hands, one from top to bottom, the other from bottom to top, each drawing a semicircle, the golden light and the purple light intersected, as if the sun and the moon were reflected in the sky, and all things lost their color under this blooming brilliance.

"Let's go, my colleagues." Yeyou invited loudly, "The door to the dreamland of Dayyou and Nightyou has been opened for you. Step into the dreamland and then return to reality!"

The demons cheered together. Wasp and Fish Gill were the first to rush into the golden and purple gate, and then the demons followed one after another. Fish Gill looked at Wuchang, and Wuchang nodded slightly. The two demon kings waited until the demons outside entered the gate together, and then they went in last.

"Day tour, night tour, aren't you coming?"

"Wuchang, we are not here to kill the emperor. Aren't you enough to have you?" Ye You responded with a smile.

"very good."

Impermanence disappeared behind the door.

At this time, the outside world could only see a flash of golden light in the sky, and then all the demons gathered outside the door disappeared in an instant. Because the golden light was too similar to the light of the demon-slaying platform, some people even thought for a moment that it was the emperor who took action and instantly destroyed all the demons.

However, the pressure from Leopard Tail was still there. Although this demon king only had a few subordinates with him, his fighting power was very fierce. He was not afraid of any attack. Instead, his fists were so powerful that even the armor of the heavenly soldiers could be dented with one punch. If he was hit in the head by mistake, he would definitely die. If an ordinary army was not careful, an immortal demon would inevitably be a little timid at this moment, but the heavenly soldiers put aside their fear under the control of the ritual. After the spears and swords were ineffective, they began to try to restrict Leopard Tail's actions. Some heavenly soldiers carrying ropes tied with talismans joined the battle formation, pulled the ropes apart, and quickly formed a net to surround the demon king in the middle.

The fighting at the palace was intense, but Lu Ning was not in a hurry to rush over.

With the emperor's deliberate indulgence, Xingyin City has already taken most of the demons into the city. Lu Ning doesn't know how many casualties the people have suffered, but after a while, most of the people still alive in this city will be people with special abilities.

Now that she was free from Tian Manxing's interference, she did not need to really respond to the emperor's call, but even from the perspective of the human race, Lu Ning had to support the actions in the direction of the palace.

At this moment, she felt a familiar wave.

This kind of fluctuation had been recorded in her mind before, when Yeyou cast his dream ability and she accidentally recorded it. Now she sensed this kind of fluctuation again, which meant that Yeyou had come to the city again.

But weren't the demons besieging the palace at this time? Why was he using his dream ability?

If Lu Ning saw the scene where the Night Tour kidnapped Lin Huaiyong, she would probably know the real purpose of this move. When the Day Tour and the Night Tour work together, the dream is not just a dream, but can be reflected in reality.

Zhao Yuqiao, who came with her, noticed the "disease" spreading in the air earlier. After he completed the treatment, he had a deep understanding of the diseases that could be caused by demons. The closer they got to the palace, the more they could see the disease spreading in the air.

"Then... Oh my God..."

Zhao Yuqiao didn't know that he was the first person in the entire Xingyin City to witness the Ghost King Yin Shuai.

The sacrifice named "Nether Lantern" by the Demon Suppression Department, the cold disaster that changed the celestial phenomena, and the shadow of the ghost king were behind this snowstorm. With the strength of a demon king alone, he was able to preside over such a huge sacrifice, which was a proof of strength. Moreover, the complexity contained in the sacrifice was far beyond the ordinary, and I am afraid that only the heaven in Xingyin City could be compared.

"It's bad, it's bad!" Zhao Yuqiao suddenly came to his senses, squatted down hurriedly, and covered his eyes, "Lu Ning, I can't go any further. This is beyond my control."

"What did you see?" Lu Ning asked. She was very sure that she didn't find anything daunting.

"I'm not sure, and I can't look anymore. My intuition tells me that this is dangerous, very dangerous! It's no less dangerous than the feeling that the demon king gave me just now! Lu Ning, there's no need to rush to die, we—"

"If you don't want to go, just leave." Lu Ning said coldly.

Zhao Yuqiao was silent, then slowly stood up.

"I don't like to risk my life. I'm just a doctor. My goal is to study difficult and complicated diseases."

"Don't tell me all this. I helped you, and you helped me, so we're even. Zhao Yuqiao, we can still work together next time. If you want to leave this time, I won't keep you." Lu Ning said calmly, "But I have to go. My mission is not yet complete, and I have to seize this opportunity."

"It doesn't matter if the mission is not completed. The previous mission..."

"You are an experienced tourist. You should know what awaits us if we keep falling behind on this kind of mission."

The distribution center will not allow tourists to fail continuously. The first mission only involves Zhenjian Villa, and the second mission involves the decisive battle between Dawei and Fengdu. It would not be surprising if the next one goes directly to Saibei Lu Ning. And if Lu Ning is unable to catch up quickly with the rewards of the missions, then the only result will probably be death on the battlefield.

She did not speak to Zhao Yuqiao anymore, but continued walking towards the palace step by step.

On the way, she could occasionally feel a slight buzzing sound coming from her head, and Lu Ning knew the meaning of this sound very well.

When she came closer to the palace, she saw two heads being thrown high into the air. Under the light, the two familiar faces of Tianshaxing and Tiankuxing were filled with fear.

"What do people call this tactic? Besiege a point and attack the reinforcements?" Yeyou hid behind Riyou with a dark judge's pen in his hand, while the blood splattered around Riyou was being evaporated by the golden light and began to rise.

The daylight gradually faded, but the scorching sun was still burning in front of the palace. The sun did not hide its dazzling brilliance, it was declaring war on the visitors, and the face covered by the mask had only a pair of murderous eyes - if anyone had seen its original eyes, they would find that the sky blue pupils had turned blood red.

Even though a star god had just been killed, the star gods who received the imperial edict and rushed to support continued to come. Lu Ning finally saw Gu Tong and other star gods she knew. Everyone's eyes revealed a fanatical determination to sacrifice their lives. The death of their companions did not bring them any fear, but made them more eager to fight.

The unstable spear formed by the light gathered in Riyou's hand. He held the spear horizontally and asked coldly: "Who's next? Or together?"

"Fengdu Yinshuai, colleagues, do not be disrespectful!" Tianguixing shouted. Although they were forced by the imperial edict, the star kings still retained enough fighting consciousness. The few who just died were a warning. Facing such a long-renowned demon king, the star kings were just humans who were given a godly position and were far from being opponents.

"Let's go together." A star god responded.

In an instant, the long-accumulated attacks in the hands of each star god were released at the same time, which showed that they had been prepared to kill the Day and Night Travelers together.

"Very good, exactly the same as in the dream." Yeyou chuckled, and then Riyou swung the light gun in his hand at lightning speed. It didn't even use a defensive skill to block all of them, but used a completely targeted approach, stabbing, picking, chopping, and blocking, and resolved all the attacks from the star gods one by one in a completely correct way.

"You deceived star officials, if you cannot launch a more effective attack, it will be our turn." Ye You said with a smile.

Among the ten Yin generals of Fengdu, except for the Ghost King, they are basically good at their own battles if they fight alone. However, if the Day Tour and Night Tour join forces, they are not only strong enough to rival the Ghost King, but also strong enough to defeat the other seven demon kings.

This is also the reason why the two demon kings dared to stay here to cover the retreat.
