Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1391 Facing the Demon King
"No wonder the ultimate formation cannot absorb the energy brought by the killing."

While peeling off the surface of the law of crushing and shedding, Lu Ning basically understood why the current formation was not working. The rules of the soul's reincarnation conversion had been modified, and the formation set up by default according to the original life and death cycle of this land certainly could not intercept the energy that was supposed to be there. The only thing that could be left was because the formation was indeed strong enough.

"But what is uncertain now is whether these newly set defect laws use the same set of reincarnation bases. If they are different, even if I adapt the ice array, at most I can recycle the Law of Shedding, which is not very meaningful."

Adjusting the formation structure is a laborious task, but Lu Ning is not prepared to spend that extra time now. All the monsters have been included anyway, so at most she can spend some time forcibly refining them. This is not difficult now that she has obtained the Law of Shedding.

"Xuan Yangzi, Tao Xuanzu, the two of you come here."

Among the people she brought with her, these two still had the highest attainments in Qimen numerology, although they were only half-baked, at least it was better than nothing. Oh, and these two could read, while at least half of her people couldn't even read.

"Can you understand this?" She tried to translate the extracted reincarnation rule into recognizable words, wrote it down, and handed it to the two people.

Xuan Yangzi and Tao Xuanzu waited for the words and scratched their heads for a long time, finally muttering to each other with sad faces, and then answered: "I don't understand."

Lu Ning also had a headache. She had never studied this subject, and her ability to understand and analyze patterns was a talent that she could not express but could do. She could clearly perceive the principles behind them, but it was very difficult for her to explain them to others.

"The demons left behind a flawed reincarnation here, and used it to construct a reincarnation theory that is unique to this world. Within this theory, all life and death are different from before, so the efficiency of the absolute formation in collecting death sacrifices has become very low. Fortunately, this one is more obvious, and we can forcibly collect it. However, doing so will take a lot of time, and it is far less convenient than killing the enemy and absorbing it as before."

"Ah? Then what should we do? Changing the laws of life and death... isn't this a skill that only gods have?" Tao Xuanzu was shocked.

"Just think of this as the unique ability of the demon star." Lu Ning burned the paper. "Since ordinary people can't master it, don't think too much about it. I'm the master of the formation. I will control the situation. This time -"

Halfway through his words, Lu Ning's demonic eyes suddenly caught a demonic aura that suddenly appeared nearby.

In an instant, she felt like she was being locked in, and she immediately put up an ice shield. However, the attack came only half a second later, exploding on the side of her head. The ice shield was blown to pieces, and Lu Ning rolled out several meters with a splash of blood.

"General!" The people around were caught off guard, but after all they had been trained, so they still had some reaction. They immediately gathered into a team. Some of them launched a defense, while others hurriedly checked on Lu Ning's condition.

Lu Ning held her head and stood up unsteadily.

"The Wood Demon actually has such strength... It seems that the Demon King is by his side. No wonder, such a crucial thing, there is no powerful one next to it. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

Her defensive speed was fast enough, so the impact just now only caused her a slight concussion. On the other hand, with Lu Ning's current strength, the fact that he could catch her off guard also showed how powerful the enemy was.

Not inside the village, but somewhere further away, the demon also had a human form, like a hunter in the mountains, holding a large bow with an ancient shape, standing in the distance.

The distance between the demon and them was probably more than 300 meters, so no one except Lu Ning's demon eyes could really observe the other party's situation. Lu Ning saw that the other party looked in this direction slightly, so he raised the bow again and aimed it at this side.

Lu Ning also immediately raised his hand, and with the help of the soldiers who had already deployed for defense, a shield several times thicker than before condensed out of thin air, and then the attack came.

The thick ice shield was instantly covered with cracks, and the defending soldiers all took a step back, but managed to stabilize their bodies.

After taking this blow head-on again, Lu Ning realized that her opponent was no match for her because she hadn't caught any trajectory at all.

Even the long-range attack of the demon that was previously described as a beam attack was essentially just a method of spitting out high-speed luminous energy to bombard the opponent in different forms. Although it was fast, it was not without trace. But this time, Lu Ning really did not see any trajectory. The moment the opponent released the bowstring, the attack had already arrived. Even if there was a time difference between them, she could not sense it.

The Demon King Tong Gong was also watching the group of people at the edge of the village.

Under the guidance of Huang Kui and the five demon kings whom he called masters, many demons with sufficient intelligence have truly enlightened their thinking ability, instead of using their abilities in a wild way as before and surviving in the world by instinct.

They were not really given names, but many of them reached the level of demon kings and became more adept at using their powers. Like Tong Gong, he gave himself a name he liked. He guarded here, waiting for an opportunity to kill the leaders among humans, so as to reduce the pressure on the Saibei Army.

However, since the Ten Deadly Formations were a sacrifice, the people in the formation were usually well protected, just like this time. When it came to killing the core figures, even if a sudden attack was launched, the commander-in-chief would still react and block the vital points.

"Killing ordinary soldiers... is meaningless." Tong Gong pulled the bowstring again. It did not need arrows. Its ability would forge the arrows it needed, which was also the origin of its name - the Sun-Shooting Bow.

Arrow of light.

The cracked ice shield exploded, and the blasting wind blew around Lu Ning. The wind that was ground into pieces by the ice formation gathered around everyone again. After three attacks, she was basically sure that this was an invisible attack that was close to the speed of light, perhaps an attack by light itself.

There are records of this in the distribution center. Probably due to the influence of high-tech laser weapons and the fact that the energy release in most magic scenes is accompanied by a high degree of light and heat emission, light-based tricks are shining in the habitual thinking of many people, but in fact, there is a type of attack that is launched using conventional visible light as the medium.

This means that you are hit the moment you see it.

Fortunately, in this attack, "light" itself is only a medium, not something really hitting at the speed of light, otherwise, not to mention Lu Ning, it is not certain whether the planet under her feet can remain intact. "The enemy is in that direction." Lu Ning ordered Han Wu to mark the enemy's position. "Preliminary judgment is that the strength is at the level of a demon king. The Ten Absolute Formation is capable of competing with a single demon king. Even if our formation is still small, everyone must be more careful. If you are not careful, the demon king's attack will be enough to take your life."

After saying that, she immediately readjusted the defense method in the ice array. Among these people, she was the only one who had to focus all her attention on guarding against the opponent's attack, but from the fourth time he raised the bow, it seemed that the demon king was still targeting her?

She had never faced a demon king head-on before. This was an opponent she had never been prepared to face. But in the ice formation, she finally had some confidence to fight an enemy of this level.

But it is impossible to predict who will win.

The fourth shot arrived instantly and collided with a corresponding blade in front of the defense designed by Lu Ning, shattering it.

"Push forward."

The Tonggong on the other side also felt the difficulty of the opponent. Although it had failed many times before, under the continuous attack, most enemies would choose to retreat from their weird and unpredictable attack methods. Only this one immediately took a counter-attack posture, and did not take conventional defensive measures, but instead accurately countered its attack with an attack.

"She can see the movement of me drawing the bow, and in that instant she can tell when I will attack. So that's why. My attack is fast enough, but the movement before the attack is too slow." Tong Gong silently judged the situation in front of him, "She has a very sharp reaction, sharper than many palm masters. Perhaps this person can reach the level of a true master... We must not let her stay."

Raise the bow.

The demon king's attack was not without variables. When it was preparing to shoot the arrow, it suddenly turned around and completely hid the action of releasing the bowstring behind its body. The trembling of the bowstring was completely unpredictable, and the invisible attack came again with the light!

The moment she saw the Demon King's move, Lu Ning did not hesitate at all and directly upgraded her Senluo Jiuzhuan to the next level. In an instant, she stretched the resonance between her internal strength and the entire ice formation to the limit. The cold fog suddenly spread and enveloped the entire village.

He was just a guy who relied on light to launch attacks. Lu Ning had seen many more difficult attack methods than this, and her ability to think of countermeasures was first-rate.

When the light sank into the cold fog, it immediately lost its direction. Unable to lock onto the target, the opponent's attack could only land in the air, and the trajectory in the cold fog clearly showed the killing range of the attack.

"It's not a ballistic trajectory, but it appears directly after reaching the predetermined distance, penetrating about three steps forward..." Lu Ning stared at the traces of the missed attack gradually covered by the cold mist in the air, and wiped the blood from his head, "No more means? That's not right."

She stepped hard on the ground, and the cold mist gathered in front of her toes, condensed, and rose, turning into an ice spear full of cold air. Then she stretched out her hand and grasped it tightly, pulling it up, and her internal force was activated. With the full power of the Ninefold Senluo Nine Turns internal force, every movement of her seemed to be calling on the formation to cater to her. A breath of cold air came out of her mouth, and then the power of the entire formation was injected into her body with the next breath.

Throw a spear.

A corner suddenly protruded from the cold fog that enveloped the village, and then an ice spear rushed out from it. The low temperature and high speed compressed the air around it into huge ice rings, which connected to form the "tail flame" of the ice spear.

Tong Gong only felt the cold fog spreading rapidly, and his attack must have missed. Then a long-distance javelin with a fast speed was thrown out from the fog. At a distance of 300 meters, its reaction time was not much longer than the opponent's reaction time to receive his attack.

With a loud bang, the ice spear stopped five meters in front of Tong Gong. The spreading ice storm destroyed all the surrounding trees, and even a pit appeared on the ground. A large number of ice crystals quickly condensed at the bottom of the pit and extended out blade-like ice spikes. An arc-shaped impact surface was formed. Except for the small space where Tong Gong was, the rest of the place was covered with frost.

"Not bad, I'll give you some color in return." Tong Gong raised his finger and gently touched the ice spike that was closest to him and had already stretched out in front of him. Even though the remaining power had dissipated, the low temperature contained in it made the demon king feel cold.

Then, he saw the cold fog moving towards here. Roughly speaking, the opponent's attack might not be able to be used all the time, at least it can't be fired continuously like its attack, otherwise it would definitely not be an ice spear thrown at him. But the combo of the red bow is not so limited.

The bow opened, and this time, it separated the fingers.

When Lu Ning led the team to attack the demon king under the cover of cold fog, she saw that the opponent blocked the attack of the ice spear, but did not retreat, but drew the bow again, immediately mobilized the formation, and launched the defense with an order. But this time, not only one trace suddenly appeared in the air, but more than a dozen traces suddenly appeared and tore through the fog. Although each one still only had a piercing distance of about three steps, the number was extremely large, and it was still increasing after these.

Sure enough, this type of attack is just an ordinary attack for the Demon King!
Lu Ning immediately ordered the team to speed up their actions. She already knew what the other party was going to do.

“…all in vain.”

Tong Gong kept pulling the bowstring, launching more than a dozen attacks at the same time each time. The large area of ​​cold fog was constantly penetrated by its attacks, and as the one who released the attacks, it could feel whether the attacks hit the target.

"Changing position is also ineffective... The places I attacked are extensions of my sense of touch. Your positions..." Tong Gong closed his eyes slightly. Through his keen sense of touch, he had already sensed the movements of people around those "arrows".

When Lu Ning in the formation suddenly paused his continuous attacks, he knew that the next change was about to come.

"Very good..." She suddenly increased her resonance with the formation again, and an ice surface formed under everyone's feet. "Everyone, feel the guidance of the formation. If you don't have any information, completely give up other thoughts and only do what is within your responsibility!"

"A speed contest?" Tong Gong smiled and raised the bow above his head, opening it like a full moon, "Su Zeng!"

The bowstring vibrated and a buzzing sound came from the sky. The white sun hanging high in the sky seemed to respond to the call of the demon king and emitted a ray of light.

Just like every previous attack, when the light split, a depression appeared on the cold fog, and then the earth let out a wail, as if a meteorite had hit the ground, but the range was smaller and the power was more concentrated!
The feeling of the living being's demise was finally sensed by the Tonggong, and it nodded with satisfaction. It put away the bow and prepared to leave.
