Become a fairy alone
Chapter 5809 Encirclement by a Great Array
The old monster Di Hu's schemes contained both cunning and open plotting.
Even though Xiang Qingcheng realized it at this point, there was nothing she could do about it.
Xiang Qingcheng could not possibly let the two seemingly greatest threats, the Viper Corpse Demon and the Mountain Demon Lord, go unchecked.
At this moment, not only Xiang Qingcheng, but also Biwei Corpse Demon and Lord Luwu Mountain noticed that something was wrong with the other party.
Resisting the sea of Bagua thunder and the rain of arrows from the sky, it would be difficult for them to break through the formation in a hurry, but they could still protect themselves for the time being.
However, the Dihu Demon Emperor seemed somewhat reluctant. Although the Dihu Demon Emperor usually appeared cautious and prudent, in reality, the opponent's cultivation level was not much different from theirs. Now, the opponent's behavior was clearly illogical.
"Old man Di Hu, what are you doing?" The Bi Viper Corpse Demon was both shocked and furious. For a moment, it had no idea what the other party was up to.
Previously, this old man had always been cautious in his words and actions, acting timidly and hesitantly in front of them. Both he and the Demon Lord Shanwu held him in contempt and were not very polite to him.
The Demon Emperor Dihu did not get angry about this, and over time he got used to it.
Throughout his infiltration into the Dragon Realm, the Demon Emperor Di Hu behaved impeccably, without causing any concern. Now, with this sudden incident, how can one not be alarmed and angered?
"Please do not be angry, both of you. The formation here is too powerful, and I have no clue what to do. I can only guess and try to find a solution."
"The three of us together would be too conspicuous, and the enemy could easily handle us. It's safest for me to travel with the two of you. It would be easier for me to run into trouble if I were among those juniors," explained the Di Hu Demon Emperor.
"That would be for the best, otherwise, once this matter is over, I will definitely have a good talk with you, you old monster. My skill in formations is not as good as yours, but when it comes to tracking techniques, there are not many who can match me."
With your aura lingering, as long as you haven't left the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm, finding you won't be too difficult for me. Then we'll see if you can withstand the wrath of me and Brother Shanwu.”
The Viper Corpse Demon sneered. He wasn't so easily dealt with. Perhaps what the other party said made some sense. However, the fact that they hadn't communicated beforehand clearly indicated that this old monster had other plans.
At least not as docile as it seemed. The Viper Corpse Demon felt it necessary to give the other party a warning before it made any further moves.
"Brother Biwei is joking. Not to mention that even if I had a lot of courage, I wouldn't dare to offend both of you at the same time. Moreover, within this great formation, only if the three of us work together can we hope to break it."
"We've already entered Chenfa. There's no hope of escaping on my own," the Dihu Demon Emperor said with a bitter smile.
"That's for the best!" said the Viper Corpse Demon.
"Did your clone discover any flaws in the formation elsewhere?" asked the Mountain Demon Lord.
He warned the other side that sending the Viper Corpse Demon would suffice. The Mountain Demon Lord was more concerned with breaking the formation.
As for whether the other party has ulterior motives, we can deal with that later. Completely breaking ties now will not benefit either of them.
"Not yet. However, I am leading other juniors to restrain the array master elsewhere. This will somewhat affect their ability to control the array."
While the group was talking, it didn't stop them from eliminating countless talisman soldiers and resisting the sea of Bagua thunder above their heads.
A barrage of arrows rained down, but they couldn't harm the three old monsters in the slightest.
Xiang Qingcheng's pretty face remained cold. Having realized the problem, she could only proceed cautiously, taking things one step at a time. The old monsters were extremely powerful, and their formations could continuously wear down her opponent's strength. There was no possibility of eliminating them in the short term.
With two old monsters, the Mountain Demon Lord and the Viper Corpse Demon, present, Xiang Qingcheng must stay. As for the most cunning and shrewd Demon Emperor, the Di Hu, they can only adapt to the situation and act accordingly.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and Luo Qing's residence was protected by other defensive formations. It wouldn't be easy for the Di Hu Demon Emperor to find Luo Qing and her child.
Things took an unexpected turn. Xiang Qingcheng could only try to solve the immediate difficulties first.
Lu Wushuang and Yu Ya are no match for a demon army-level expert. However, by using formations to maneuver around the enemy, they shouldn't have too much of a problem.
Both were powerful beings at the level of Genshin Impact. Their understanding of formations wasn't as profound as hers, but they each possessed considerable skill.
The three old monsters annihilated a large number of talisman soldiers on the ground. Xiang Qingcheng waved her hand, sending out jade talismans. The jade talismans fell like snowflakes, transforming into talisman soldiers to replenish the ground's resources.
The three waves of attacks from the Viper Corpse Demon relentlessly annihilated swarms of talisman soldiers. Simultaneously, they diligently searched for a way to break the formation.
The three old monsters moved around, trying to escape from different places. But no matter which direction they moved in, the surrounding mountains kept shifting and undulating. It seemed there was no chance of escape whatsoever.
The rain of arrows and the power of thunder are endless, and cannot harm them for the time being. However, the drain on them is visible to the naked eye. If this continues, the situation will become very dire.
"Let's join forces and eliminate this person first." The Demon Lord Shanwu reached out and unleashed a burst of extremely cold ice light, instantly freezing thousands of talisman soldiers.
A gentle breeze blew, and the talisman soldiers scattered into tiny ice fragments. Having fought across various regions, they had roughly estimated that they had annihilated at least tens of thousands of ambushes.
However, the ambushes and battle formations all around seemed endless, as if all their efforts were in vain.
The Demon Lord Shanwu was understandably exasperated, so he turned his attention to Xiang Qingcheng. If he could simply kill or severely injure the person controlling the heavy array, the problem would be solved.
"Demon King Dihu, find a way to locate the enemy's true form. Demon Lord Shanwu and I will take care of the actual attack."
Although the Viper Corpse Demon was angry and resentful that the Demon Emperor harbored malicious intentions and wanted to scheme against him and the Mountain Demon Lord, he knew in his heart that his greatest reliance for breaking the formation still lay with the Di Hu Demon Emperor.
Now is not the time to act rashly. Even the Bixi Corpse Demon is finding the endless attacks of the formation quite troublesome. Let alone just an avatar of the opponent.
Although he was annoyed, he had to protect the opponent's clone first. Otherwise, if this guy was killed, it would be troublesome to get out of the battle later.
The Viper Corpse Demon reached out and held up a hazy, black sphere, resembling a crystal, which appeared in its palm. It was like a separate space, within which countless corpse shadows roared.
"Viper Corpse Soldiers, go!" the Viper Corpse Demon commanded softly. Then, countless corpse shadows rushed out from the black sphere, roaring as they fought against the ambushing soldiers all around.
The talisman soldiers' weapons slashed at the corpses. Jade light dissolved the corpses. The agonizing screams of the Bixiong corpse soldiers rose and fell.
However, these corpses were also incredibly ferocious. Lacking any suitable weapons, they pounced directly on the floating ice, using their corpse poison or their claws to tear at their opponents.
The numerous floating talisman soldiers were torn to pieces, and the entire battlefield looked chaotic.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Bi Kui." The Di Hu Demon Emperor thanked him with some difficulty, looking exhausted, but inwardly he sneered. So what if the other party was unhappy? He still had to do as he planned.
The relationship between the two parties is one of mutual exploitation. If he doesn't make plans in advance, he will eventually be ripped off and left with nothing.
"I'll test their strength first. Endless Ice Domain, Shanwu Blade!" Shanwu Demon Lord roared and leaped towards Xiang Qingcheng in the void.
As the longsword slashed out, a shimmering ice-light walkway stretched straight into the void. The space around Xiang Qingcheng seemed to freeze.
Within this void, towering icebergs rose up, attempting to block Xiang Qingcheng's retreat. The demonic energy of laws permeated the entire formation. The intent of the sword was omnipresent.
Faced with this astonishing strike, Xiang Qingcheng remained motionless. Only when the blade was about to strike her did she wave her hand. A protective array of light appeared.
The blade of the Demon Lord Shanwu struck the light barrier, and the blade dissipated at an astonishing speed as the two intertwined.
"Mountain Wu Demon Blade Style, Slay Immortals and Suppress Buddhas!" After failing to land his first attack, the Mountain Wu Demon Lord roared, and his demon blade attacked even more fiercely.
Each strike seemed to merge into this icy, demonic realm. Domineering and ferocious blade shadows appeared in every corner.
No matter how it attacked, Xiang Qingcheng remained unmoved in the void.
The entire formation was like a long-parched desert, and the sword intent and demonic energy were like water flowing into it. Before long, they would be completely absorbed.
If it weren't for some changes at the Di Hu Demon Emperor's place, Xiang Qingcheng would have been confident that she could have annihilated all three old monsters within the formation.
No matter how strong the opponent is, it will only take a little more time.
Although she had some confidence in Lu Wushuang and Yu Ya, Xiang Qingcheng still needed to reserve some of her energy to support Lu Wushuang at any time, just in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Countless corpses and talisman soldiers clashed together, creating chaos on the battlefield. Although the battle was fierce, it also reached a stalemate for a time.
Meanwhile, the true form of the Di Hu Demon Emperor possessed the body of a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion. He appeared at the other end of the formation along with a dozen or so other demons in their primordial spirit forms.
"Mountain Demon, go ten miles to the east and stay there," said the Dihu Demon King.
"Are you talking to me? Who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that?" As the strongest member of the team, the Purple-Faced Mountain Demon had always been the one leading the way.
He was the one who bossed others around in dangerous situations, so the fact that this unassuming snake-patterned tree demon dared to order him around left the Purple-Faced Mountain Demon speechless with astonishment. After the initial surprise, the Purple-Faced Mountain Demon's expression darkened. He gave the other man a malicious look.
"Old Tree Demon, are you out of your mind? How dare you be so disrespectful to Brother Mountain Demon?" said a blue-eyed ant demon beside him.
A burst of laughter erupted from all around.
Before the laughter subsided, the snake-patterned tree demon reached out and grabbed at the air, and the purple-faced mountain demon and the blue-eyed ant demon immediately felt the surrounding space tighten.
The two demons tried to resist, but an incredibly powerful force gradually contracted from all sides, leaving them less and less room to maneuver.
Here, within the Dragon Domain's grand formation, they dared not recklessly venture out, and their retreat was immediately cut off.
Then the force came towards their necks, and it was too late for them to resist; their necks felt like they were being tightly gripped by an iron clamp.
The blue-eyed ant demon and the purple-faced mandrill's faces flushed crimson. Their eyes widened in terror as they stared at the snake-patterned tree demon. The other demons, who hadn't yet reacted, also wore expressions of horror.
"Who...who are you?" the Blue-Eyed Ant Demon asked with difficulty.
"I was blind and offended you unintentionally, senior. Please spare my life."
The strongest Purple-Faced Mountain Demon sensed the faint fluctuations of demonic energy emanating from the other party and had already guessed its identity.
The initial fear and confusion were intertwined. Aside from desperately pleading for mercy, there was nothing else he could do.
"This is the first and last warning. I don't want to hear any more dissenting voices." The Serpent Tree Demon calmly withdrew its hand.
"Thank you for sparing my life, senior. I will obey your orders from now on." After being freed from its restraints, the purple-faced mountain demon gasped for breath and then hurriedly ran off in the direction the other party had pointed.
"Damn that old demon Di Hu!" the Purple-Faced Mountain Demon cursed inwardly as it flew swiftly.
He didn't know what those three old monsters were planning, but he had definitely felt the threat of death just now.
He had encountered the old demon Di Hu many times, but he had never seen such a terrifying side of him.
Blue-eyed Ant Demon and his two companions went their separate ways.
Before they could even stand still, a portal opened in the void. Within, lightning crackled and surged, instantly engulfing the surroundings. One after another, streaks of lightning roared forth from within.
A clear and melodious bell sounded very faint amidst the roaring dragon's cry.
Before the blue-eyed ant demon could react, a stunningly beautiful figure in a golden robe slowly emerged from within.
Upon seeing the other's face clearly, the blue-eyed ant demon felt a sharp pain all over its body. Then, its body shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
"With this little strength, you dare to cause trouble in the Dragon Domain?" Lu Wushuang raised his hand. The thin golden threads from the tree root nimbly returned to his hand.
On the other side of the mountains, a fierce wind howled, shaking the earth. Yu Ya's alluring face now held a touch of sanctity. Dozens of white fox phantoms flickered around her, like a pack of foxes running and leaping freely and nimbly through the air.
It seemed completely chaotic. Yet, the Crimson Wolf Stone Demon, deeply entangled in it, looked terrified.
As the white foxes moved nimbly, he felt that no matter which direction he tried to dodge, he couldn't escape. In his haste, the Crimson Wolf Stone Demon only had time to unleash the Wolf Stone Demon's aura to block his vital points.
With a soft "drip," like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, the Wolf Stone Demon's defense was breached by Yu Ya, leaving a small teardrop-shaped hole.
A bloody mark appeared between the brows of the Crimson Wolf Stone Demon. Then, its body fell limply from the void.
Lu Wushuang glanced at Yu Ya in surprise, as Yu Ya's strength used to be much weaker than his and Luo Ping'er's.
Yu Ya rarely participated in sparring matches or duels, spending most of her time in meditation. Unexpectedly, she has unknowingly improved to this level.
Although the killing of the Crimson Wolf Stone Demon was largely due to the help of the formation, the fact that it could achieve such an effect in such a short time was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary primordial spirit body. It seemed to be due to the domineering nature of the opponent's Heavenly Demon Fox Royal bloodline.
Lu Wushuang thought to herself that if it weren't for Lu Xiaotian's help in altering her bloodline, she would probably have already been surpassed by Yu Ya. (End of Chapter)
