Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

"..."

Countless eyes were focused on that precious carriage.

Through the beaded curtain, the light fell upon that handsome profile.

Although the Golden Hall Demon Lord had not been at the border for long, he was there to observe the area and spent most of his time gathering information, so he had naturally heard of the Little Demon King's reputation.

It is said that the actions of the Qi and Yu families were too great, forcing this reclusive and ferocious demon to emerge from the mountains and contend with a certain prodigy.

Now it seems, the other party is so young!

"While I still think your actions were a bit too risky, I must say you were really lucky."

The Demon Lord of Jintang sighed with deep emotion.

After learning about the situation at Dragon Ridge, he felt that Yunlong and Hongling were just fooling around.

With their meager strength, the two of them simply couldn't support such a large operation.

Without a top-tier expert who can truly control the situation, even if more demon lords are invited from Da Shun, it won't have a decisive effect.

The appearance of Zhao Hexi further proved the judgment of the Golden Hall Demon Lord.

With just this one prodigy, Dragon Ridge Mountain would be unable to lift its head.

Even if this woman couldn't directly wipe out the demons, she was like an unstoppable sword. Wherever she went, the demons could only flee at the mere mention of her name, unable to mount any effective resistance.

Even if they still have some backbone and aren't scared out of their wits, as the casualties increase, it's only a matter of time before they disperse.

Just when it seemed to be in a dead end, a little demon king appeared at Dragon Spine Ridge, and it inexplicably had a chance to breathe again.

What incredible luck!

"This is not luck."

Xie Yutang stared blankly into the depths of the sky, then suddenly whispered, "The master said long ago that he would come back."

"My lord?" The Demon Lord of the Golden Hall was taken aback.

Hong Ling's bare shoulders trembled violently.

She opened her mouth, but stammered for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

Instead of the unexpected joy of breaking through the impasse that the Golden Hall Demon Lord had imagined, it was as if he had witnessed something indescribably horrifying.

Even the usually composed Yunlong was now behaving strangely, with a hint of bewilderment in his clear black and white eyes.

Both of them were very familiar with that face.

However, they could not connect the young man on the imperial carriage with the terrifying formation in the sky and the title of the Little Demon King.

You should know that when they parted last time, the other party was still a Core Formation stage cultivator.

He was almost smashed into mincemeat by Zhao Zhiyue for stealing the Mountain God Mirror. Although he looked extremely fierce, he was clearly exhausted when he finally fled.

Given the violent nature displayed by the young man, if he had any strength left, he would never have entrusted the seriously injured Zhao Zhiyue to Hong Ling for treatment.

but now……

Even if Zhao Zhiyue were to come back to life, any figure in the sky, even just smelling their scent, would send the golden-striped black tiger fleeing for its life like a madman.

This powerful group of demon lords stood in the eight directions of the sky, surrounding and surrounding Lin Shu, and even respectfully calling him...Little Demon King.

If Yunlong is not mistaken, Ruoshui Demon Lord, who truly has the potential to deserve this title, seems to be among them.

"Say something, you lot!"

The Demon Lord of the Golden Hall withdrew his gaze with a hint of helplessness.

He was indeed shocked that, given the control of the Liang Kingdom's immortal sects, Yongzhou was able to nurture a demon lord with such exaggerated potential, even to the point that he could overpower the Zhao family's prodigy in terms of aura.

But isn't this a good thing?

Why do they all look like they've seen a ghost?

"The one on the imperial carriage is Lord Moon Eater."

Finally, it was Jin Xiong and Qing Ming, the two demon generals who knew Lin Shu first, who forcibly pulled their gazes back from the sky and gave the ferocious demon of Da Shun a concise explanation.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Tang's expression froze slightly.

Not long ago, he was trying to win over this little demon king's capable henchman to Da Shun.

He finally understood why Qian Yiru was working so hard.

They are well aware of how powerful their backers are.

It can be said that even in the more chaotic Great Shun Dynasty, few demon lords could command a group of demons and become the leader of many cultivators of the same realm.

No wonder the Demon King Suxin dared to have the idea of ​​occupying the border.

So, of those three banners, two were just for show; the real leader hadn't even appeared yet.

Compared to the shock of the demons.

Above those lavish temporary palaces, fear quietly welled up in the eyes of many figures.

This place is too far from the Great Shun Dynasty.

Faced with such a terrifying array of demons, escaping back to safety would not be easy.

With that in mind, they could only turn their gaze to the woman.

"call."

Zhao Hexi's expression was indifferent as she gently exhaled.

They no longer had the mindset of playing cat and mouse.

Yongzhou Pass is not Zhao's territory. If they encounter such a ferocious demon and their men are too few, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses if they really fight it head-on.

But if they left in such a disheveled state, and this got out, they would probably be laughed at by the other geniuses for twenty or thirty years.

After a moment's thought, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

With so many people watching on both sides, the little demon king of Yongzhou must have a bit of arrogance in his heart.

After thinking it over, Zhao Hexi finally spoke slowly.

"Since the altar has already been set up, I won't beat around the bush."

"We are both prominent figures, ranking at the top of the state, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short time."

"How about this: we will each select two people to fight two rounds, best of three. If they cannot determine a winner, then you and I will decide the victor ourselves."

She slightly raised her eyes: "How is it?"

Taking action in such a place means the initiative is in the hands of the other side, so it's best to avoid it as much as possible.

If you're lucky, your subordinates will win two games first, saving you a lot of trouble. Then you can choose to leave, preserving both your reputation and your dignity.

If we lose both games, it's because the others are too incompetent, and we won't blame ourselves entirely.

Of course, if he were truly forced to take action and fight one-on-one, he might not necessarily be afraid of this so-called little demon king, which would be much better than being attacked by a group of people.

"..."

Qian Yiru looked at Lin Shu on the imperial carriage.

His gaze quickly swept over the figure in the sky, and then he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder I had to come back to guard the border.

Even after breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, his chances of winning against at least half of these infamous Great Demon Lords were not high.

Among them were powerful beings who could make even him feel powerless.

However, Qian Yiru was not too disappointed. He was still young and not of the same generation as these veteran demon lords. He still had a chance to catch up with them.

It seemed as if they wanted to prove themselves in front of Lord Lin.

Qian Yiru suddenly leaped into the air, holding his sword in both hands, and bowed respectfully towards the imperial carriage, saying, "Yiru requests to fight and secure the first victory for the Moon Devouring Demon Banner!"

"Are we still going to fight?"

Hongling came to her senses, her expression strange, but understandable.

If Qian Yiru had been dealing with Lin Shu like this from beginning to end.

Then she finally understood where that inexplicable sense of restraint on the other person came from.

With such relentless effort, once the Moon-Devouring Demon Lord ascends to the throne, Qian Yiru will become a formidable general under the Demon King, and his status among the demons will rise accordingly.

Similar to Jinhe under Lord Yuanyuan's command.

Before that great man met with misfortune, he was naturally the leader of all the demons in Yongzhou.

There is no need for them to establish their own independent faction.

"call."

Seeing this, the desire to compete became even more pronounced among the descendants of the Zhao family.

However, what started as excitement has now turned into a strong will to survive.

Compared to the many beings in the sky, Qian Yiru, who had gone through rounds of battles, was undoubtedly the easiest to deal with.

"I'll take the second round."

Ruoshui Yaojun said softly.

Her voice was calm, yet it caused the immortal descendants' expressions to change drastically without prior agreement.

Although the Little Demon King appears to have a high status, he has not actually revealed any specific cultivation level so far.

The reason why the other party can be so high and mighty is at least 80% due to this woman.

It was because Ruoshui possessed power nearly comparable to that of the Zhao family's prodigy, and her respect for the young man created the mysterious and terrifying aura of the Little Demon King.

This is why Zhao Hexi chose the Little Demon King.

This was precisely to exclude Ruoshui Demon Lord.

"Have you made your choice?" Zhao Hexi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"..."

Lin Shu did not respond, but quietly looked at Qian Yiru.

When he noticed the other person's disordered breathing and pale face that they were trying so hard to maintain, he realized that they were struggling.

He then looked down at the white jade altar.

I roughly understand what happened.

Lin Shu had experienced something similar a long time ago, which was also the reason why he first became famous at the border.

The eight disciples of the Jade Tablet set up a ritual platform, but he broke it all by himself.

"Tsk."

Lin Shu slightly moved her fingertips.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man still leaned lazily against the imperial carriage.

But the continuous cracking sounds quickly reached everyone's ears.

A sudden gust of wind swept by, and fine, spiderweb-like cracks appeared abruptly on the majestic white jade altar.

Snap! Snap!

Immediately afterwards, the dust was swept away by the strong wind, revealing the desolate open space once again.

I joined the battle because I was weak and needed to earn good deeds and evil money, so I had to be controlled by others.

If I still listen to you now, then all my cultivation has been for nothing.

"you……"

Seeing the changes before him, a hint of panic flashed in Zhao Hexi's eyes. His expression turned furious as he said, "What kind of little demon king is he? He's nothing but a beast, no different from any wild animal. He has no courage whatsoever, and all he knows is to attack in a mob!"

She was clearly trying to provoke the other person with such sarcastic remarks.

Anyone who cares about their reputation would probably be tempted to give them a chance to fight one-on-one.

Only in this way would her chances of escaping be greater.

"That's how it should be!"

Hongling was afraid that the other demons might have other ideas that would affect Lin Shu's judgment.

She excitedly pumped her fist and shouted, "We're demons, what's the point of rules? Let's all attack together and kill them!"

"You mean you're not planning to let this go peacefully?"

As Zhao Hexi listened to the howling of the demons around her, what was originally insignificant now seemed like a death warrant.

She is still making a final push.

"What I mean is, I'm quite busy."

Lin Shu explained softly, "If you want to perform a grand opera, go back to Da Shun. I don't have the time for that."

As the words fell.

The many immortal descendants were horrified to discover that the sudden gust of wind that had swept away the jade powder had somehow returned, like an invisible prison, enveloping them all.

"Get out of the way!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

He reacted quickly and tried to leap into the air, but the fire wave that suddenly erupted beneath his feet, like thousands of sharp claws, grabbed his body and then surged up, engulfing him completely.

Some lucky descendants of immortals had made preparations in advance, revealing their golden-striped black tiger immortal bodies, and narrowly avoided the fire waves.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he felt the power of the sudden gust of wind.

He watched helplessly as his flesh withered and dried up rapidly, instinctively unleashing his magic to resist. However, a deafening roar of thunder immediately interrupted the thoughts of this group of immortal descendants.

It was like a celestial calamity about to erupt, carrying with it a violent and chilling breath that would destroy everything.

In an instant, the lightning plasma covered the entire land.

"roar!"

A lithe golden-striped black tiger burst out of the flames, its delicate eyes gazing incredulously upwards.

The three-colored lotus petals slowly unfurled, their gorgeous and alluring appearance exuding an inexplicable aura of majesty!

Upon witnessing this scene, the countless demons withdrew their auras and made no attempt to intervene.

When Zhao Hexi became playful, even if the demons of Dragon Ridge were unwilling, they had to step onto the execution platform like wild beasts offered for amusement, risking their lives just to make her laugh.

But the same principle applies.

The little demon king clearly had little interest in this childish ritual game.

At this point, the Zhao family had no choice but to obediently accept their fate.

"Arrogant..."

Zhao Hexi never imagined that the little demon king would try to deal with everyone on her side all by himself.

Even the most renowned geniuses of the immortal sects could never accomplish something like this.

However, to her surprise, when she looked around, she found that all eight of the people she had brought with her were now in a life-or-death crisis.

They're struggling to survive; there's no way they could spare a hand to help.

Even she herself, under the lightning and fire, her vigorous vitality was being visibly eroded away.

"Is this a technique used by someone at the Golden Core stage?"

The Demon Lord of Jintang swallowed hard, his eyes wide open.

Before actually taking action, he was already trying his best to imagine the power of the little demon king. After all, it would be impossible for someone as strong as Qian Yiru to be able to make so many powerful demons submit and pledge allegiance.

But it wasn't until he saw the three-colored lotus of calamity with his own eyes that he realized his imagination was still too poor.

What exactly is the situation in Yongzhou?

How could someone as experienced as myself suddenly become like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world as soon as I stepped into this place?

"Your master, from which immortal sect did you defect? ​​Didn't I hear that the Moon Devouring Demon Lord was a disciple of the Yu family?"

"Where's the Azure Phoenix Sword Technique? What is that?"

The Demon Lord of the Golden Hall was perhaps too shocked to lower his voice.

Yunlong and Hongling's eyes were unfocused, but they were awakened by the questioning voice, and then they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

What could they possibly know...?

The two of them were actually in similar moods to Jin Tang, as if they were meeting Lin Shu for the first time.

The fierce roar of the golden-striped black tiger resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Qian Yiru watched in silence for a long time before suddenly muttering, "What good luck."

If it weren't for the fact that after his elders were used by Yu Qiheng to shield him from disaster, he would have pondered deeply in the mountains and ultimately decided to defect from the demon sect.

As arranged by the Yu family, he was ordered to descend the mountain to exorcise demons and reclaim the border.

Back in Anren Prefecture, it was probably I who was trapped by this calamity lotus.

With just a glance, Qian Yiru can easily make a judgment.

This is a situation with no chance of survival!

Let alone back then, even now, if I had a hundred lives, there would be absolutely no chance of escape.

Unless we can wear down Lord Lin's demonic power until it is exhausted.

To maintain such a powerful technique without reaching the Nascent Soul stage would require an extremely high level of energy expenditure; otherwise, it would violate the laws of nature.

Such a simple principle is not something that Qian Yiru alone could come up with.

After a brief moment of panic, Zhao Hexi also began to do her best to avoid the three tribulations. Then she took out a silver needle magic weapon and focused on the place where her family had the most descendants, trying to break the deadlock.

Her thinking was very simple.

The demon king's demonic power could not be inexhaustible.

If this place is strong, then there must be other places that are weaker. She dares not be greedy anymore. The only way to survive is to wait until her clan is wiped out.

[Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, those who repair bridges and roads leave no remains, those who kill a spirit are rewarded with 19,000 taels of silver, plus 2 coins of Karmic Fire Essence.]

"Um?"

On the imperial carriage, Lin Shu frowned in surprise.

These black tigers... they don't feel quite right when you squeeze them.

He had used this supernatural power on both the Yu family's Azure Phoenix and the Qi family's White Wolf. Under normal circumstances, after such a long time, unless they were geniuses protected by spiritual treasures, even those in the late Golden Core stage would have perished by now.

The divine powers bestowed by Heaven are far beyond the reach of ordinary immortal descendants.

But so far, out of the nine people including Zhao Hexi, only the lowest-level Golden Core mid-stage Xuanhu has perished.

With the support of numerous illusory immortals, Lin Shu's spiritual energy wouldn't be depleted; it was just a matter of how quickly.

He was simply curious as to why this unusual state was occurring.

The white wolf embodies a strong spirit, while the blue phoenix is ​​associated with lightness and agility.

These golden-striped black tigers... are like the three-hoofed wild bulls, primarily cultivating their physical strength!

"Come."

Lin Shu's eyes showed surprise, and with a wave of her sleeve, she used her Wind Riding Technique to pull Xie Yutang to her side.

You know, he felt quite sorry about it last time.

To break through the limits of body tempering, in addition to waiting for guidance from the senior demon king Yuanyuan, one must also learn from the strengths of others.

However, when he killed Fang Qingbai, he did not have the aura of a wild bull, so he was unable to collect the soul, and it would be a waste to invest the evil silver.

Now we've finally gotten our chance.

"My lord..." Xie Yutang, like everyone else below, was filled with confusion.

I wonder what use I, a mere Core Formation cultivator, can be under these circumstances.

"Did they give you Zhao Zhiyue's aura?" Lin Shu didn't explain.

"I gave it to you; I was originally supposed to pass it on to you."

Xie Yutang nodded. She mainly cultivated sword techniques and did not need to use the aura of the Xuanhu, but the Red Silk Demon Lord thought that Lord Lin seemed to be studying this path, so she deliberately left a wisp for him.

She took out the golden and dark aura and handed it over.

Immediately afterwards, everyone fell into a daze again.

The world is vast, and arrogant people are common.

Not to mention those who sit lazily while engaging in magical duels, there are precedents even for those who drink tea and play chess.

But no one had ever seen someone so leisurely comprehend immortal techniques while fighting nine opponents alone.

"..."

Lin Shu closed her eyes, and the evil silver quickly surged into her breath.

He didn't intend to learn anything on the spot, since the torment of the body tempering technique would indeed affect his combat strength.

He only wanted to use a small amount of silver to temporarily create a phantom image; even if it was the aura of a Golden Core cultivator, a few thousand taels would be enough.

"How dare you... humiliate me like this..."

Zhao Hexi's tiger-like eyes were red, it was hard to tell whether it was from rage or grievance.

Under these circumstances, she surprisingly found that her Dao heart had become much more stable.

The silver needle pierced the lotus of calamity.

Tear a small opening.

"Remember this: when we meet again, I will reclaim everything I have lost today."

In order to make her way through this hard-won path to survival, she resolutely opened her mouth, bit her forelimb, and tore it off, along with half of her shoulder.

scoff!

Watching her push her body out of the Lotus of Calamity in such a reckless manner.

The demons in the sky all changed color slightly.

If this prodigy can survive today's calamity, he will likely grow considerably stronger.

"..."

However, Zhao Hexi had only traveled a hundred feet when she suddenly stopped, her whole body trembling with pain, looking at the floating jade chariot in front of her.

Lin Shu opened her eyes.

The aura emanating from his hand had completely vanished.

"Now I finally understand why he grew up to be so terrifying."

The Crimson Silk Demon Lord looked up in astonishment.

It turned out that Lin Shu wasn't deliberately trying to show contempt; he was genuinely digesting that aura, and he finished eating in such a short time.

"You must have expended a great deal of energy... You should be more skilled in immortal techniques..."

"Actually... isn't this exactly what I initially sought—a one-on-one battle...?"

Zhao Hexi probably didn't even know what she was saying.

But as she muttered these words to herself, her gaze gradually hardened and hardened.

"Ugh."

A blue light paved the steps leading up to Lin Shu, who finally stood up from the imperial carriage and walked down at a leisurely pace.

If the power of sudden awakening is useful, then I won't need to go through all that trouble searching for the aura of immortals to supplement my many immortal techniques.

It's so easy to just keep talking about bonds and such.

In Zhao Hexi's gently blinking pupils, a powerful, ocean-like aura suddenly emanated from the young man's body, proclaiming that his physique had also reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage.

A thunderous python coils on the left arm, while a crimson phoenix howls on the right.

The next moment, a ferocious look appeared on Lin Shu's face, and he threw two punches in succession, with lightning and flames illuminating the sky and earth!

Beneath that fist peak.

Zhao Hexi's body didn't even last a breath before it shattered, his internal organs enveloped in lightning and fire.

Rumble!

She transformed into a black shadow and flew backward, crashing down the mountain behind the beacon tower!

[Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, those who repair bridges and roads leave no remains, those who kill a spirit are rewarded with 30,000 taels of silver, plus one tael of karmic fire gold essence.]
