Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

The insect's legs resemble robust tentacles.

The magnificent cities built by mortals are nothing more than playthings to be manipulated at will in front of him.

"Heh."

Su Xin narrowed her eyes, watching the torn and collapsed earth, the buildings that collapsed in an instant with a roar, and the dust and smoke rising, as if the sky had fallen.

The heart-wrenching wails echoing from below reverberated in my ears.

She turned her gaze back to the several insect legs in front of her, which danced wildly like mad dragons, cutting off all her escape routes.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was worried about offending the local immortals, Su Xin even felt that, given the methods Tao Guan was currently displaying, the thousand-legged creature buried deep in the earth could probably overturn half of Tongzhou City, along with all the counties, big and small.

Clang! Clang!

Her knuckles cracked, and the flawless moonlight gathered once more.

The sky was slightly dim at this moment, making the two crescent moons, each a hundred feet long, appear even more sharp.

Su Xin took a deep breath, remained silent, and fought back with all her might.

As long as Tao Guan himself has not yet descended, she still has a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, with the many insects on guard, even if Su Xin tried her best, it was difficult for her to replicate her initial performance. She ruthlessly waved her sleeve, and a huge crescent moon slashed down from the sky.

Under that cold, hazy light, it seemed as if everything in heaven and earth could be cleanly and decisively sliced ​​apart.

Even if she wasn't skilled in such magic, she was still a Demon King.

However, despite their seemingly clumsy and robust appearance, the insects react with incredible speed when faced with a crescent moon.

They yanked their bodies, dodging the sharp edge at a speed barely visible to the naked eye, and then simultaneously swarmed forward, shattering the crescent moon into pieces!

Su Xin had never intended to fight the insect legs. In the instant they dodged, she found an opening, moved swiftly, and tried to escape again.

At the same time, the magnitude of the earthquake suddenly increased.

boom!

Another giant pillar burst forth from the ground, striking that faint, ethereal figure unexpectedly.

"Pfft." Su Xin was thrown straight backward.

If it weren't for the vast demonic power protecting her, that one blow would have shattered her physical body.

She reached out and wiped the crimson stain from the corner of her lips, barely managing to steady herself as a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

His two attempts to escape both failed, giving his opponent an opportunity instead.

The increasing number of insect legs also indicates that Tao Guan was very close to Tianlu County.

Thinking of this, Su Xin raised her eyes and stared at the insect legs that were pouncing on her, and decisively abandoned the idea of ​​fleeing.

Since escaping is out of the question, we might as well focus on the fight at hand. Even if we perish, we'll tear a piece of flesh off that old man's neck!

The techniques she practiced were not well-suited for dealing with these insect legs, but were more adept at dealing with Tao Guan's true form.

"Don't panic, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the sky.

The newcomer clearly knew Su Xin quite well; seeing the changes in her expression, he knew exactly what the girl was thinking.

A lithe figure strode across the sky and arrived.

His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation.

If the original man was more like a cunning and cautious raccoon dog, then the current painted-face man is filled with the domineering and ferocious aura of a tiger descending the mountain!

He swung his arm fiercely, and the rampant demonic power gathered into a towering blood palm, grabbing three insect legs and forcibly pulling them out of the ground, before smashing them down on the other insect legs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like several towering peaks tilting, the thick insect legs crashed heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust.

"Let's go first."

Cangli's voice was low and hoarse.

He did not become complacent because of his successful attack, and even temporarily suppressed his desire to join the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The ambush and killing of Tao Guan was a major event that required careful preparation, but now the other side has reacted in advance for some reason and has gained the upper hand.

The most urgent task is to evacuate and seek new opportunities.

Thank you.

Su Xin clenched her fists, a hint of surprise in her heart.

She clearly hadn't expected that Cangli would actually come back after Tao Guan had made such a commotion beforehand.

But now was not the time for further words. Without hesitation, Su Xin turned around and leaped into the air to the other side.

Cangli followed suit, but just then, his eyelids suddenly twitched.

The insect's legs on the ground were rapidly shrinking and then quickly disappeared into the earth.

"Wait a minute..."

He suddenly looked up and called out to the woman in front of him.

In fact, Su Xin had already sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding aura without Cang Li's reminder.

The next moment, a figure dressed in a noble purple robe suddenly appeared in the air ahead.

His upper body was still human, but from the hem of his clothes down, countless slender long legs stretched out, and his whole body was like an ancient tree, firmly rooted in the sky.

As countless insect legs emerged from the ground, a large portion of the dark sky was occupied by its thousand legs, with Him at the center.

"If it weren't for your kind invitation, and now that I've arrived, why are you so eager to leave?"

The middle-aged man in purple robes with a long beard spoke in a puzzled tone, but the shallow creases on his face were filled with a mocking expression.

As the words fell, a thousand feet suddenly shot out, like countless sharp blades falling like a sudden rain, indifferently enveloping the two figures.

Susu!

The leopard stared wide-eyed, but even with its eyes strained, it could not catch a trace of those sharp blades.

The name that the Luo family casually mentioned, when it came to reality and was embodied as a living descendant of immortals, gave people an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The sharp, piercing sound in his ears caused fine blood vessels to instantly appear on the whites of the painted-face man's eyes.

In an instant, hundreds of possible solutions flashed through his mind, but without exception, they all ended with him being seriously injured.

Lin Shu's judgment was correct; without three or five helpers, there was no chance of winning.

Evacuation is the right choice.

Cangli now wants to know which bastard leaked their whereabouts to Tao Guan.

Could it be that after so many years in this world, I've been blinded by self-interest and misled others?

As the thousand-legged beast descended, he suddenly remembered the mysterious demon king he had arranged to meet in Tongzhou City.

"Damn it, did I really lead the spy in? The problem is, I didn't give him any specific information."

Cangli roared in frustration and anger, "Suxin, save as many as you can!"

There's no need to spell it out too clearly; the two have fought side-by-side in life-or-death battles, so they have that much in common.

It's better for one person to be seriously injured than for both to lose their fighting ability. As for which one to save... that's not up to them; the choice is in Tao Guan's hands.

"clear."

Su Xin responded with a solemn expression and concise words, then she and Cang Li parted ways in completely different directions.

She reached up and covered her chest, when she suddenly remembered something.

If she were pierced by the long legs, and those spirit-devouring insects crawled out of her body, she would probably look even uglier than the two demon lords in the courtyard.

Fortunately, this is Da Shun, and not many people know her.

Faced with Tao Guan's offensive, the two demon kings almost simultaneously began to have wild thoughts, not because they lacked experience or panicked in the face of battle.

It is precisely because they are so experienced that they can spot the difference at a glance, which is why they reacted in this way.

"..."

Tao Guan lowered his eyes with interest, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

In the end, He turned His gaze to the clearly superior Cangli.

The three were beings of the same realm. Although his methods were far superior, he was still able to control the situation so calmly because he had received advance notice and made arrangements using his supernatural powers.

To completely defeat these two beasts, we still cannot be careless and must quickly turn this advantage into a decisive one.

Fuck your mother!

Cangli noticed the gazes fixed on her, feeling as if she were being pricked by needles.

Although he said that he would be in charge of the main attack this time, and Su Xin only needed to help support him.

But when that moment actually arrived, he couldn't help but feel a bit irritable.

"If you manage to escape by sheer luck, tell that kid to kill a few more of those Golden Core scum from Hengshui once things have calmed down. Don't waste that skill."

The civet resolutely turned around, unleashing its magical power to transform into a scarlet tiger shadow, and pounced straight at the insect's leg.

"..."

Su Xin did not respond, but simply stopped moving indifferently.

She looked up at Tao Guan's back, and moonlight once again shimmered between her arms.

Even now, she still doesn't think she has any chance of escaping alive, but she has a slightly better chance of getting a piece of flesh off that old man's neck.

The fact that he was able to kill a Nascent Soul Immortal descendant is enough to prove just how good this young demon king from Yongzhou is at finding opportunities.

Just then, a muffled groan rang out from the air.

Tao Guan staggered slightly, his eyes widening in surprise.

His thousand legs suddenly plunged down, yet it seemed as if he and the gray fox were separated by an invisible force.

The wind rises and the clouds surge, the sky changes color.

Azure light, dark light, crimson sky.

The outline of a three-petaled giant lotus quietly descended upon the world, enveloping all the densely packed insect legs.

A scarlet cloak swayed like a rosy cloud as the handsome young man stood suspended in the void, his ferocious demonic armor exuding a strong aura of violence.

His long, slender, and fair fingers were unusually placed upright on his heart, forming a complete mudra.

During his first battle against Yu Jingzhe, Lin Shu was not particularly proficient in the Lotus Flower Lesser Tribulation. Although he gradually gained a deeper understanding of it later, he rarely encountered opponents who required him to take the fight seriously.

At this moment, the young man's orderly and disciplined execution of the spell revealed the pressure he was under.

Not only should we protect them, but we should protect both of them.

The real battle has not yet begun; if you want to win, you cannot afford to lose even the slightest bit of your fighting strength.

"So it was three monstrous beasts."

Tao Guan looked back and left, a murderous glint in his eyes.

The three-petaled lotus was barely enough to cover His thousand feet, and it was no longer able to envelop His body.

This fiend's cultivation level is even lower than that woman's.

"..."

But what Tao Guan didn't know was that his disdain for cultivation level had already stirred up the emotions of the other two demon kings.

Even in such a critical situation, Cangli couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He couldn't see through the aura-concealing effect of the Tribulation-Slaying Spirit Root, but at Dragon Spine Ridge, he could clearly sense that Lin Shu didn't have the smell of "shackles".

That's why Cangli didn't take Lin Shu seriously.

Even after arriving in Yuzhou, when this kid didn't trust him and interrupted Feng Shu and the others, deliberately concealing his methods, he found it quite amusing.

However, at this moment, he could clearly smell the Dao patterns on the other party's body.

That brat is hiding his Nascent Soul cultivation!

The other party actually managed to hide even this thing...

This means that Lin Shu is not some minor demon king of Yongzhou, but the real Moon Devouring Demon King!

"call."

Su Xin was far more shocked than Cang Li.

Because she sensed a very familiar scent on Lin Shu, a scent that came from the same family that bound her.

Just a short while ago, she revealed the Dao patterns on the demon infant to the young man.

Lin Shu said at that time... he remembered it and could put it away.

Now it seems that it was much more than just memorizing.

"..."

Su Xin regained her senses in a flash, much faster than Cang Li.

Just as she had anticipated, she never missed an opportunity during the magical duel.

Because she lost her father's care over the past few decades and had no one to rely on, she had no right to fail.

A white rainbow soared into the sky.

While Tao Guan was looking at Lin Shu, and while the opponent's thousand feet were covered by the Lotus of Calamity, Su Xin had already arrived behind him, her right hand's five fingers replaced by white light claws.

Tao Guan clearly hadn't expected that these beasts wouldn't try to escape, but instead dared to fight back.

Chi!Chi!

The moment he turned his head, those sharp five fingers had already cruelly pierced into his scalp.

On the woman's pretty yet aloof face, her eyes transformed into captivating vertical pupils.

Two crescent moons met in the dark night sky, merging into a flawless, bright full moon.

As the Dao patterns on the demonic infant within her body emerged, a vertical, pitch-black crack appeared on the full moon, resembling the silver eyes of the wolf immortal hanging in the sky.

Under the reflection of this large, silvery eye.

Tao Guan's eyes began to roll upwards, his previously calm and playful face quickly contorted, and he was plunged into boundless torment.

"ah!!!"

Blood gushed down, covering his hideous face, and his mournful howls echoed through the heavens and earth.

The hundreds of long legs that were originally trapped in the Lotus Minor Tribulation began to stir, angrily lashing at the sky and scattering the lightning and flames above.

Even though their long legs had been corroded by the eroding winds, their power only increased, and they showed signs of tearing this area apart.

"..."

Lin Shu's palms trembled slightly.

Even with the support of Nascent Soul cultivation, the divine abilities bestowed upon those at the Golden Core stage are still somewhat strained in this entirely new realm.

It can only be considered a usable means, but it is far from having the same dominance as before.

"Don't panic, I'm here for you! Hold on a little longer, and I'll bring you his head!"

The civet's face contorted in a ferocious expression as it stomped its legs repeatedly, its crimson demonic power even surpassing that of the crescent moon.

"it is good."

Without wasting words, Lin Shu directly waved his sleeve and summoned a banner.

As his spiritual power flowed in, several spirit generals clad in golden armor, carrying figures as vast as the ocean, walked along the path to the underworld, separated from the mortal realm, and charged straight into the three-colored lotus petals.

"hiss."

Cangli gasped.

He didn't really expect Lin Shuzhen to hold on for much longer, but he didn't expect her to give him a pleasant surprise.

To control such an exquisite array while still having the power to unleash a high-quality spiritual treasure—such powerful spiritual energy is something a demon cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul realm cannot accomplish.

A master array master with exceptional skills, a soul cultivator skilled at controlling the minds of enemies, and a powerful demon who is primarily focused on slaughter.

I lack nothing...

A surge of wild joy welled up in Cangli's eyes, and his killing intent intensified: "Heavenly Demon Palace, I'm here!"

Lin Shu's expression was unreadable, only her face was pale and beads of sweat rolled down her temples.

Given the stability of his cultivation path, it's impossible for his spiritual energy to be depleted by such a small amount of consumption.

The other two demon kings were unaware that this young great demon was actually doing something else in secret while simultaneously wielding supernatural powers and magical treasures.

It's like having three things at once!

"Ah!! Ah!!"

With Cangli's intervention, Tao Guan, who was delirious, couldn't help but let out a wild roar. He sensed the terrifying demonic power coming from behind him, something that could truly endanger his life.

A fierce tiger was engaged head-on in front, while two cruel wolves circled around, each choosing the most opportune moment to appear.

By sheer coincidence, the three were forced to orchestrate this near-perfect killing scheme!

At this moment, Lin Shu's swaying hair suddenly calmed down.

He paused for a moment, then looked toward the void.

Although he didn't see any shadows, driven by instinct, he immediately poured his abundant spiritual power into the hideous demon armor on his body, and then dark cloud patterns appeared on his body.

Whether it's a body tempering method or an internal method, Dao patterns are something that should never be easily shown to others.

This is the cultivator's most fatal flaw.

If this thing appears, it means that we have reached a critical moment of life and death, and we have no choice but to use all our strength.

The stillness in the hair at the temples is because the wind has suddenly disappeared from the world.

This scene was all too familiar to Lin Shu.

So much so that one can guess who caused this change without even thinking.

In an instant, he was ready to withdraw and retreat.

The rewards of killing Tao Guan were tempting, but after a brief assessment, he concluded that even if he used all his means, the probability of him surviving the attack was far too small.

His moment of hesitation was a consideration of who should stay behind to cover the retreat.

Lin Shu is the one who controls the formation, so he can naturally choose which formation to take down first.

Logically and emotionally, Su Xin should be taken away. However, while the other party is controlling Tao Guan with their soul, they themselves are unable to notice the changes around them, so the chance of escaping is not great.

But it seems that my relationship with Cangli isn't close enough yet.

With the mountain god's chariot here, why not try taking Su Xin away?

After all, Cangli had previously said that the other side would be in charge of the main attack, and if things became unsuccessful, the two of them could leave at any time.

"..."

Lin Shu was filled with countless thoughts, all of which flashed by in an instant, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

However, he wasn't the only one who noticed something was wrong.

A certain experienced demon king had already reacted the instant the wind stopped.

Cangli's expression changed drastically, and he looked towards the void, as if he had realized something.

The Tao Temple ahead was the place he had been looking forward to and dreaming of for many years... his pledge of allegiance to the Heavenly Demon Palace.

No matter what happens, as long as I keep moving forward, I might be able to get this pledge of loyalty, and then I can consider how to get out of this mess.

On the other hand, there was a promise made casually earlier, which had no binding force whatsoever.

Cangli suddenly felt his mind was a mess, as if it were filled with paste.

Pfft!

The next moment, he looked up in a daze and realized that he had somehow turned and landed in front of the boy.

On his shoulder was a white, jade-like arm.

The arm was like a sharp sword, piercing through his shoulder blade, and the owner of the arm was an old man with cloudy eyes.

"His words have come true."

Cangli sighed with deep regret, then grinned and tugged at the corners of his lips.

Damn it, what's with that old bastard Yu Qianzhang?

A barely perceptible tear welled up in the corner of his eye; it was hard to tell whether it was from regret or unbearable pain.

Cangli reached out and grabbed the old man's forearm, his voice suddenly becoming somewhat dejected: "Fine, it's what we agreed on before, let's just take them down one by one."

Perhaps it was destined by fate that I would never have a good life.

That's why they keep giving hope, only to crush it again and again, just like teasing a dog.

Thinking of this, Cangli sniffed the blood on his body, his eyes regaining their murderous intent as he stared intently at the old man before him.

The fastest and most powerful blue phoenix in the Hengshui Kingdom?

It doesn't seem as sharp as rumored.

He was ready to take action, but what puzzled him was that he hadn't noticed the young man leaving.

A few breaths later, a nonchalant voice suddenly came from behind.

"We're not leaving."

"Huh? What did you say?" Cangli turned around in surprise.

"I said..." Lin Shu's face was pale, the black cloud pattern on her neck rippled, and her eyes were as calm as an ancient well, with only a fierce glint in the deepest part.

"I suddenly don't want to leave anymore."
