Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 724-723. Journey to the South (Part 3)
However, even so, the demon king hiding in the shadows was no fool.

These spider demons serve only two purposes.

One key point is controlling the situation.

To put it bluntly, these spider demons are designed as suicide bombers. While it's better if they aren't killed, minimizing losses is always desirable, and they might even be salvageable. Their bodies are equipped with structures that can spew poison gas and spider silk. Theoretically, as long as they empty the poison gas and spider silk stored in their stomachs, whether they die or not is unimportant. However, considering the actual situation in battle, the enemy cannot allow these spider demons to quietly release poison and spit silk on the sidelines. Moreover, these spider demons are extremely large. Although they move quickly, it's only faster than ordinary people. In the eyes of true cultivators, that is, the Taoists of the One Qi Alliance, they are no different from sitting ducks. Therefore, these spider demons are usually used as suicide bombers.

The toxic gases stored in them have been mixed multiple times.

It contains a variety of ingredients.

Although no special traits were added.

It does not have the characteristics of burns, frostbite, or rotting.

However, this concoction of poison gas has extremely strong resistance to water and fire. In addition, the spider demon's own sticky spider silk, if incorporated into the poison gas, would make the poison gas extremely sticky, the kind that even a strong wind cannot blow away. Only if a direct descendant of the Ji family came and used the Wind Walk technique would it be possible.

In short, although the potency of this poison is not high.

It does not have the effect of being fatal upon inhalation.

However, they have a unique advantage in controlling the situation.

The continuous weakening of everyone within this toxic gas fog zone forces them to expend their magical power to resist; otherwise, they will be eroded by the poison and lose their ability to fight back, just like ordinary people without magical power in their bodies.

It's similar to being drugged and rendered unconscious.

His muscles and bones were so weak that he could not move.

Another point is probing.

As one of the most famous poisons in the Southern Kingdom, this concoction is extremely difficult to deal with. Generally speaking, even a Demon King cannot break through it. Therefore, conversely, those who can break through it are either Demon Emperors from other places, or top-tier Demon Kings and top experts from the One Qi Alliance. Although there is another possibility, it could be a Demon King who also belongs to the Southern Kingdom, because the proportions of this poison are not a secret. Demons in the Southern Kingdom who reach the Demon King level can basically come into contact with it. Since they have studied it, they naturally know the weakness of this poison. Whether it is fighting poison with poison or relying on attributes to break the balance and counterattack, there are many methods. But the problem is that after confirming that it is one's own comrade, no Demon King in the Southern Kingdom would use such a thing to attack.

To put it bluntly, they were all taught by the same teacher.

Don't waste time testing anything with such a pointless and ineffective method.

If it really escalates to the point of resorting to force...

Let's just go all out and fight it out.

However, this does not escalate to the point of resorting to force.

Why can't we just talk things out?
Why must we test them?

Why must we do something so petty?
On the contrary, it makes people look down on you.

Therefore, after ruling out the last possibility, let's only consider the first two. If the Demon Emperor himself arrives and easily disperses the poisonous gas, then the Demon King behind the scenes can give up resisting and lead the Demon Emperor to see Huan Du Qing Tian, ​​the Poison Emperor. Even if the Demon Emperor loses the authority to use 30% of the power of heaven and earth, he is still not comparable to the Demon King. If the Demon King's speed is not fast enough, like that of Bei Shan Ji Ye, then there is basically no need to consider running away. He can't fight, and he can't run away, so he can only surrender, avoiding meaningless struggle and the possibility of offending the Demon Emperor without knowing the truth, thereby angering the Demon Emperor and being slapped to death by the Demon Emperor. However, if those top-level Demon Kings arrive in person, their origins can be judged from their moves.

As it is now.

Chi Huo made his move.

The demon king behind the scenes deduced that Chi Huo was a human fire cultivator, whose cultivation level was not yet at the level of a demon king, but only close. He knew how to deal with him. Although he was not sure if the demon king behind the scenes had any ice, water, or yin attribute poisons to counter Chi Huo's fire, he at least had a strategy to deal with him, which was the most important thing.

There is also a stone hall.

Sword repair.

Most sword cultivators are good at being straightforward.

Since that's the case, let's drag it out.

In other words, they adopted a protracted war strategy, continuously wearing down Shi Tang.

It's much better than rushing in unknowingly, only to be attacked by Shi Tang with a single sword strike, taking a huge hit and being killed instantly, right?

As for the bamboo from the East.

This was a completely unexpected delight.

Pure Yang inflammation.

If you encounter it, just go around it.

Therefore, after confirming in a very short time that a group of formidable demon kings were hiding in this town, he immediately chose to withdraw, abandoning the idea of ​​fighting to the death, and took off flying towards the south.

However, if this demon king could fly away, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye wouldn't be Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye anymore. After all, whether it was the young and impetuous Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye at this time or the later calm and aging Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, his general attitude towards demons was still to kill them. In the Mu Tian City arc, if it weren't for the overall situation and the fact that he really couldn't win, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye at that time might have drawn his sword and killed Tu Shan Hong Hong. Because no matter what, Dongfang Yuechu claimed to have died at the hands of Jin Renfeng. Although Jin Renfeng didn't get away with it, Dongfang Yuechu was still his nephew, and he wouldn't let Tu Shan Hong Hong go for both personal reasons and morally.

Therefore, it was clear that the demon king was planning to flee.

Wang Quanba immediately drew his sword and unleashed a burst of sword light.

To put it bluntly, the Southern Demon King knew the effects of the poison he had used, but Wang Quanba and the others did not. Although Wang Quanba and the others were unharmed, the others in this town were not. If the poison used by the Southern Demon King was the kind that would take effect in a few minutes or tens of minutes and could be fatal, then Wang Quanba had to capture the unknown Southern Demon King within those few minutes or tens of minutes and extract the antidote to ensure the survival of the people in this town.

Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai were also aware of this point.

Therefore, neither of them wasted words.

Li Zizai walked directly through the air.

The gourd under their feet suddenly grew larger.

Then, the wooden plug blocking the gourd's opening suddenly opened.

One of the throwing knives was launched.

Then, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets countless.

A dense sea of ​​knives, numbering at least a thousand, surrounded Li Zizai from all directions, following his finger.

At the same time, Li Ziyi touched his mask.

Two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes.

It resembles two large searchlights.

They locked onto this demon king.

"A swarm of ants!"

"You ungrateful animal!"

Forced to stand still in mid-air by Li Quzhuo's lock-on, the purple light, clad in a black robe, suddenly turned its head, its eight eyes burning with a palpable rage. With a backhand slash, a purple blade of light composed of demonic power and poisonous gas flew out, meeting the sword energy unleashed by Wang Quanba Ye. However, this also blocked its retreat with Li Zizai's sword formation. Its face darkened, and it began to curse without hesitation. It can only be said that the same thing can be viewed from different perspectives.

The results obtained are also different.

For Wang Quanba and his group, you not only released poison in the town, but the coverage of this poisonous gas also included the civilians. If you escape, leaving this place littered with corpses, it will not matter who is responsible, but rather it will be a disgrace to the entire Qi Dao Alliance and the entire human race. Therefore, even if you are willing to leave the antidote, we will still capture you to prevent the antidote you leave behind from being fake. The trust between humans and demons is so fragile right now, even though this place is on the border between the human race and the Southern Kingdom, and the situation is much better than in the Western Regions.

But from the perspective of this Southern Demon King, firstly, I was just testing you and had no intention of fighting you. I took the initiative to run away, and I've already given you the face you deserved. There's no need for you to relentlessly pursue me. Besides, the poison I used wasn't a deadly toxin; at most, it would make my muscles and bones weak for a day. There's no need to kill me. Even if I did fight you, after a brief exchange, since I chose to retreat, and this place is close to the Southern border, it's useless for you to chase me. Once I step into the Southern border, no matter how angry you are, you can only stare at me helplessly. Is it necessary to keep attacking me like I killed your parents?
Therefore, the demon king was clearly angry.

They directly resorted to the most despicable and shameless tactics.

That's poisoning.

He sneered and raised his voice in a threatening tone: "Little human brats, don't forget the principle of knowing when to stop. You should know that the lives of all the poisoned people in this town are in my hands. If you dare to surround me again, don't blame me for making these people pay with their lives!"

Although the effect of this poison is merely to make muscles and bones feel weak.

Not fatal.

As for the duration of the toxin attack within a day, that's also easily resolved.

At worst, we can just let these people go hungry for a day.

The toxins will dissipate on their own in time.

There were no lasting effects.

Although going hungry for a day has serious consequences, causing many people to feel weak in their limbs, it is a minor matter compared to death.

If someone said that if you go hungry for a day, you won't die.

I believe everyone can do this.

The problem is that Wang Quanba and others didn't know that!
This demon king is betting on this information gap!

If he wins the bet, he can leave unscathed.

After all, he had just seen it.

Moreover, they won't admit their mistakes.

The human girl was using Pure Yang Flame.

Recalling the battle fought more than a decade ago between Dongfang Guyue, the lord of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, and his own emperor, Huan Du Qingtian, on the border, this demon king abandoned his intention to take action. To put it bluntly, he did not want to be targeted by Dongfang Guyue because of this.

After all, those who know about Pure Yang Flame understand it.

It either relies on bloodline transmission.

Either borrow a light.

Therefore, it is obvious.

Even if this human girl isn't Dongfang Guyue's daughter, she's still his personal disciple, essentially his successor, the kind who's supposed to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days. Anyone who dares to make Dongfang Guyue, an old man, bury his young daughter, will be hunted down and killed by Dongfang Guyue, who hasn't even turned white-haired yet!

In short, this is someone you really shouldn't mess with.

As for losing the bet, there are ways to overcome it.

Anyway, that statement was just something I blurted out to fool people.

He doesn't need to pay any price.

Ultimately, he still needs to rely on his own strength to fight his way out.

However, upon hearing this, Wang Quanba and the others were indeed in a dilemma. Even though the poison gas surrounding them had been incinerated and neutralized by the pure Yang Flame released by Dongfang Huaizhu and the whirlwind stirred up by Ximen Chuisha, in the form of a fire tornado, this incineration only neutralized the formed poison gas. What about the civilians who had inadvertently inhaled the poison gas during its spread and were now unconscious, and the town that was still completely silent despite the commotion? They couldn't possibly let Dongfang Huaizhu continue to set fires and let Ximen Chuisha continue to blow winds, burning all these poisoned people to ashes, could they?

The purpose of cracking this poison is to save lives.

If all the people die.

Even if we break this poison, what value would it have?
However, with Ye Qingcang's snap of his fingers, dark clouds surged and a light rain began to fall. The raindrops, upon hitting the ground, stirred up a peculiar dusty smell that spread, and the town gradually became lively. Many ordinary people who noticed the abnormality put on their clothes, went out to check, or lit oil lamps in their houses.

"solved."

Ye Qingcang reminded him.

Wang Quanba gave Ye Qingcang a deep look.

However, the situation is urgent at the moment.

He didn't have time to say much more to Ye Qingcang.

Moreover, it must be said that Ye Qingcang's move was indeed brilliant, directly saving him from a dilemma. Next, he only needs to prevent the demon king from attacking the people below. After all, this is a war on their human territory, and any losses caused will have to be borne by their human race, which is not worth it. Therefore, how to capture this treacherous demon king without causing major damage is the problem that he, Li Zizai, and Li Quzhuo need to think about.

But the demon king on the other side wasn't stupid either.

He watched as the poison gas he had released was neutralized.

I was quite surprised, but I also knew that this matter was troublesome.

Because the auras emanating from Wang Quanba, Li Zizai, and Li Quzhuo were all at the Demon King level, meaning they were on the same level as him.

In a one-on-one fight, he might not necessarily lose.

If it's two against one, he might be able to escape.

But it's three against one.

Beside him was a little girl who could release pure Yang Flame, a divine fire that could extinguish demons, plus a boy who had just been cured of his poison and was suspected of being an assistant, and three humans who had touched the threshold of the Demon King but were not yet Demon Kings. If these people were to stand by and provide cover, they would be fully capable of killing him here alone. Even though this place was relatively close to the border of the Southern Kingdom, as long as he did not set foot on the land of the Southern Kingdom, the protection of the Demon Emperor was nonsense, and he still had a high risk of death.

So the demon king immediately tore off his clothes.

Before Wang Quanba and the others could react...

I glanced at it subconsciously.

The next moment, suddenly, it seemed as if hundreds of eyes grew out of the demon king's body, opened, and spewed out a blinding white light, directly hitting the unsuspecting Wang Quanba and others.
