"What can we do? The BOSS is too strong. We can't stop it at all!"
A female player retreated as she fought. Even with her physical invulnerability state strength, she couldn't stop the endless waves of demons.
Not to mention.
It was the mountain-like evil spirit that was approaching step by step.
Now that the demons had broken through the blockade, the situation was out of control.
Originally, the players formed a large circle to encircle these things in an orderly manner. As long as they didn't go too deep, there wouldn't be any danger.
But it was different now.
The situation was out of control. The blockade that the players maintained was gone.
Under the surging demons, many players were trapped.
For a moment.
The death rate of the players increased greatly.
"Retreat!" Wu Luoling shouted. The long whip in her hand moved like a silver snake. It instantly pierced through the skulls of two skeletons and extinguished the soul flames inside.
Then, looking at the demons that were moving toward them, she chose to retreat immediately.
It wasn't that she didn't want to kill this BOSS.
On the forums, there were many players posting videos and posts, all of which contained information about the Evil Demons.
Since the start of the demons.
Demons had been synonymous with invincibility at the beginning. Now, they were gradually conquered by some powerful player teams.
However …
Compared to the large number of demons that broke out of the seal, the demons that were conquered by the player teams were only a small part of the total.
Moreover, every team that defeated the demons had to pay a heavy price.
Most importantly …
The demons didn't seem to drop many things. Most of them only gave experience points and mission rewards.
If they were lucky enough, the demons would carry weapons. Some players guessed that the weapons could be dropped. It just needed a certain probability.
But so far, no one had succeeded.
Conquering demons.
It was more to make a name for themselves.
Of course, the mission rewards were also generous. But after deducting the losses, there wasn't much to be gained.
But no matter what …
Killing demons was very difficult. Very difficult.
Someone had once calculated that if they wanted to defeat Sinister, they would need at least a thousand physical invulnerability experts and above. Only then would it be possible.
And this …
And it was under the premise that they didn't take into account the losses.
So, although Wu Luoling had the idea of killing the BOSS, she didn't have the courage to put it into action.
Until now, the team had spent a lot of time and money on nurturing.
If they were wiped out by the Evil Demons, their overall strength would drop by a level.
This was not an easy thing for her to accept.
When Wu Luoling gave the order to retreat, the other players in the team also gave up on their opponents and retreated in an orderly manner.
It was worth mentioning.
All the players in the team were female. There were no males.
"Leader, should we contact the others and kill this Boss?"
Wu Luoling remained unmoved. Glancing at the petite girl beside her, she shook her head and said, "Who can we contact? Evil Demons basically won't give us anything good, so what's the point of killing it? Let's retreat first."
When the others saw this, they didn't say anything else.
After all, Wu Luoling was the team leader. There were many things that they had to listen to her.
Boom!
With a single slap, he killed several players who were as small as ants. Demonic Lord Ming Luo drove all the Demonic Disaster to invade other regions.
It was unknown when it started.
The forces that had besieged him were greatly weakened, giving him the opportunity to expand to other regions.
At first.
Demonic Lord Ming Luo thought that the other party was plotting something, so he didn't do anything. He just silently absorbed the energy provided by the Demonic Disaster and gradually recovered from his injuries.
To be able to be suppressed in the seal.
This proved that he had been defeated by a strong person before.
And in the seal, there was no chance for Demonic Lord Ming Luo to recover from his injuries. This could only be done after the seal was broken.
But after his injuries recovered.
Demonic Lord Ming Luo realized that the humans didn't do anything, but the forces that besieged him were further weakened.
At this point.
He couldn't be bothered to find out if there was really a conspiracy and directly drove the Demonic Disaster to attack.
The result was unexpectedly smooth.
The blockade that suppressed the Demonic Disaster was broken through without much effort.
As the Demonic Disaster spread out, Demonic Lord Ming Luo was also a little excited.
The reason why the Evil Demons were eager to go to the Greater Thousand World was, on one hand, because the Demonic Abyss was too lonely. On the other hand, it was for the flesh and blood of the living beings in the Greater Thousand World.
Evil Demons were born to be celestial beings.
However, it would not be easy to improve on this foundation.
Only by devouring the flesh and blood of living beings could their cultivation level increase rapidly.
This was also the reason why the Evil Demons were obsessed with creating Demonic Disasters.
Because.
Was to plunder enough flesh and blood.
"Kill, listen to my command, kill to your heart's content!" Demonic Lord Ming Luo laughed wildly. In an instant, Demonic Qi spread out in all directions, as if it was the end of the world.
"You look very happy?"
"Who!"
Demonic Lord Ming Luo's laughter stopped abruptly. The moment he turned his head, he only saw a huge fist, directly occupying his entire line of sight.
Boom — —
A terrifying force exploded. Demonic Lord Ming Luo's face exploded with blood, and his body was also bombarded backward.
A sudden change of events.
Demonic Lord Ming Luo was caught off guard, and it also made the other players stunned on the spot.
What happened?
Many people weren't clear about the situation.
But looking at the sudden appearance of the tens of feet tall body, some people had doubts in their eyes, while others had a thoughtful look.
Demonic Lord Ming Luo was injured in one blow, and immediately took the opportunity to pull apart the distance between them. Then, Demonic Qi rolled back, healing the injuries on his face.
Immediately after.
He looked angrily at the person in front of him and shouted sternly, "Who are you? How dare you sneak attack me!"
"The person who will kill you!" Qin Shujian sneered. In the next moment, he had already closed in on him and attacked again.
The Universe Sky Lock filled the sky.
A terrifying force was revived.
In the face of this power, Demonic Lord Ming Luo was shocked. Without thinking, he attacked.
Boom — —
Due to the difference in strength between both parties, Demonic Lord Ming Luo was at a disadvantage after just exchanging blows.
Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth!
Coupled with the Primordial Indestructible Body!
In terms of strength, Qin Shujian was confident that not many people in the same realm could be his match.
And in the True Dominion, unless an almighty attacked, no one would be inferior to him.
Originally, he hadn't planned to come here.
After all, there was another place that was closer.
However, because the Demon Disaster had spread out, Qin Shujian had sensed the Demonic Qi from afar. Thus, he had changed his direction at the last minute and come over to take a look.
In the end …
He happened to meet Demonic Lord Ming Luo.
There was no need to say anything else.
In Qin Shujian's eyes, any evil devil was a walking treasure.
If he hadn't met Demonic Lord Ming Luo, it would have been fine. However, since he had met him, there was no way he could ignore him.
When he looked over with his Dharma Eye …
The other party was a fifth-stage Heaven Being evil devil.
To Qin Shujian, this was a very lucrative character.
Fifth-stage Heaven Being.
At least 200 million life sources.
"Sister … Sister Ling, what should we do now?" A young girl suddenly didn't know what to do as she looked at the scene before her.
Originally, they had been pressured by the evil devil.
They had no choice but to retreat.
However, now that an even more powerful character had arrived, it became a problem whether to retreat or not.
Regarding Qin Shujian's words …
Many people recognized him.
However, after he executed the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, he looked somewhat unfamiliar.
However, very soon, some people recognized Qin Shujian's identity.
During this period of time, this Cold Mountain Stronghold Master had been killing evil devils all over the world. This was not a secret.
There were also many players who complained about the fact that they were being targeted for kill-stealing.
Looking at the scene before her, Wu Luoling's pretty face hesitated for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "While the BOSS is occupied by Cold Mountain Stronghold Master, let's kill the other monsters with all our might.
Find another opportunity and see if we can snatch the BOSS. "
"Ah, snatch the BOSS?" Some people were shocked by her bold decision.
Wu Luoling rolled her eyes and said, "Cold Mountain Stronghold Master has snatched the BOSS from other players many times. Why is he the only one who can snatch the BOSS and we can't? At most, we'll just die once.
As long as we snatch the BOSS's last hit, the quest reward alone will be enough to make up for our losses. "
In her opinion, no matter how famous Qin Shujian was, it didn't matter.
In any case, snatching the BOSS depended on the strength of both parties. Moreover, the other party wasn't a good person. There was no rule that stated that he could snatch from others and others couldn't snatch from him.
However …
Although Wu Luoling had the idea of snatching the BOSS, she also knew that it wouldn't be an easy task.
Qin Shujian's strength was especially strong.
They only had one chance.
Once they failed, it would be impossible to snatch the BOSS again.
At this thought …
Wu Luoling dealt with the Devil Disaster Skeletons beside her while slowly leading the team towards the battlefield.
However, she didn't want to attract other people's attention.
The team's advance was less deliberate.
Meanwhile …
The battle between Qin Shujian and Demon Lord Ming Luo was still ongoing.
As a fifth-stage Heaven Human expert, Ming Luo had recovered completely.
The strength he could unleash in the True Dominion was not weak. Even though he wasn't as strong as a cultivator who had condensed four Universal Heavenly Locks, he wasn't too far off.
Therefore, he was at a disadvantage.
In the face of Qin Shujian's fierce attacks, Demon Lord Ming Luo was still able to maintain the situation.
However, he was able to maintain the situation.
The scales of victory were tilting towards Qin Shujian at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
Thunder burst forth. Qin Shujian took out the Thousand Mountain Blood. The three-seal Dao Artifact exploded instantly. Coupled with the Spirit Severing martial art, he slashed out a terrifying saber move.
Saber Slash Physical Body!
Heart Slash Spiritual Spirit!
The first Spirit Severing saber move was to turn the Spiritual Spirit into a saber to slash the opponent's Spiritual Spirit.
Now, coupled with the Thousand Mountain Blood, the power of this move merged with the Dao Artifact.
In an instant!
The monstrous Fiend Qi was torn apart. Demon Lord Ming Luo struck out with his finger. A vast finger aura shot out but was destroyed by the thunder saber aura.
In the next second …
The saber aura landed. As Demon Lord Ming Luo's physical body crumbled, he felt a sharp pain in his mind, forcing him to scream.
"Ah!"
The Devil Qi could heal the injuries of the physical body, but it couldn't heal the injuries of the Spirit God.
This saber move …
Directly injured both his physical body and Spiritual Spirit.
To this …
All Qin Shujian had to do was to follow up the victory. Although the two-stage saber intent was not at the level of simplifying, his saber moves were extremely exquisite.
Demon Lord Ming Luo had almost no power to resist and fell into a passive situation.
The saber slashed out. His physical body was torn apart.
As blood flowed, the Fiend Qi constantly repaired the physical body.
But no matter how the Fiend Qi recovered, there was no way to reverse the situation.
Soon.
Demon Lord Ming Luo was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"Now!"
Wu Luoling, who had been paying close attention to the battle, saw that Demon Lord Ming Luo was seriously injured and on the verge of death. She did not have time to be shocked by Qin Shujian's strength and rushed forward.
At the same time …
She took out a jade talisman and crushed it with force.
Crack!
Like a bolt from the blue, purple lightning shot out from the jade talisman and blasted toward Demon Lord Ming Luo like a rainbow.
This jade talisman …
Wu Luoling had completed a difficult hidden mission and obtained it as a reward.
As for the function of the jade talisman …
It contained the power of a God Martial Arts Realm attack.
And thunder was pure Yang, which was the best way to restrain demons.
Therefore, a jade talisman comparable to a God Martial Arts Realm attack was enough to kill the seriously injured Demon Lord Ming Luo.
A sudden attack.
Before Demon Lord Ming Luo could react, Qin Shujian on the side was the first to come back to his senses.
"Kill steal!"
Seeing that attack, this was the first thought that came to his mind.
Suddenly.
A surge of endless anger surged from Qin Shujian's heart.
Kill steal!
What he, Sect Master Qin, hated the most in his life was people who stole other people's kill.
Swish!
Qin Shujian's saber, which was originally aimed at Demon Lord Ming Luo, changed its direction and slashed towards the purple thunderbolt.
The terrifying saber aura instantly destroyed the purple lightning.
It was not over yet.
After the saber aura destroyed the purple lightning, it continued to slash toward Wu Luoling's direction.
The saber aura that was hundreds of feet long fell.
Everything within a radius of a few feet was completely destroyed.
After venting the anger in his heart, Qin Shujian threw away the array disc and used the grand array to cover himself and Demon Lord Ming Luo.
On the other side.
In the resurrection point.
Until now, Wu Luoling had not completely recovered from the saber that was deeply imprinted in her mind.
It was not that she had never seen a powerful NPC.
When she was completing that hidden mission, she had met an extremely powerful NPC.
In order to complete the mission, Wu Luoling used all her trump cards.
But —
Now that she was facing Qin Shujian, she realized that there was always someone better than her.
That NPC expert she met before was nothing in front of this Cold Mountain Gang Master.
That saber's brilliance.
It directly shattered Wu Luoling's heart.
The imprint of that saber could not be erased no matter how hard she tried.
She had even temporarily forgotten about the loss she had suffered this time.
"Sister Ling!"
"Captain, what's wrong?"
Until the voice beside her woke Wu Luoling up from her daze.
She looked at the others.
She took a deep breath and shook her head. "It's nothing. I was careless this time. I did not expect the Cold Mountain Gang Master to be so powerful."
At this moment.
Only then did Wu Luoling remember the loss this time. Her heart skipped a beat and she could not breathe.
Loss!
Huge loss!
That jade talisman of the God Martial Realm was very valuable. And Qin Shujian's final saber attack had almost wiped out her entire team. Their collective realm had dropped by one level.
This price was simply too great.
—
Central State Prefecture, Imperial City.
In the back garden of the Imperial Palace, there was a pond decorated with lotus flowers. Below, koi fish would occasionally jump out of the water and then disappear into the pond.
Xi Yang held a handful of bait in one hand and used his other hand to pick up some of it and sprinkle it into the pond.
Instantly, it attracted a group of fish to gather.
"Your Majesty, ever since we diverted our forces to suppress the Demon Disaster, many places have lost control of the situation and the Demon Disaster has spread. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be no end to the trouble."
An old eunuch stood behind Xi Yang. His body was slightly bowed as he reported some matters.
"Out of control?" Xi Yang shook his head and laughed, but he did not stop feeding the fish. "In your opinion, how much more out of control can the current situation get?"
"Although the situation is tense, there will be a time to resolve it."
"Resolving it is easier said than done."
Xi Yang's tone was calm, but there was coldness in his eyes as he looked at the pond.
"Now that the rebel alliance is about to invade our Central State Prefecture and reach the Imperial City, how do you think the current situation can be resolved?"
"…" The old eunuch was speechless.
At this moment.
Xi Yang did not stop talking. His voice gradually turned into a low growl. "The imperial court has always treated them well. For thousands of years, they were given high positions and land to sit on, blessing the younger generation.
But now, look at how they are treating me! "
"Betrayal, rebellion, they are no longer satisfied with the position of a duke."
"What these people want is the entire world. What they want is my head!"
"Tell me, what else can I do in this situation?"
Xi Yang suddenly turned around and stared at the old eunuch with a pair of cold eyes as he questioned sternly.
Hearing this, the old eunuch could only lower his head in silence.
A moment later.
Xi Yang suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around again. He repeated his actions. "You have been by my father's side for thousands of years. You should know a lot of things, but even you don't know what to do in the current situation."
"I wanted to suppress the demon disaster and return peace to the world, but these rebels are not willing to do so."
"Since they are forcing me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Only by erecting the title of Great Zhao will the world have meaning. Otherwise, I don't care about this world."
So what if they were demons!
So what if they were demons!
In Xi Yang's eyes, none of this was important.
If he could not even keep his throne, then he would rather drag the world down with him.
The ruler of a fallen country was destined to go down in history in infamy.
Xi Yang did not mind adding a few more stains to his reputation in the future.
So.
That was why he directly withdrew his troops and no longer cared about the demon disaster. If the rebellion could be quelled, then he would naturally be able to free up his hands and destroy all the demons.
But if he could not quell the rebellion, then there was nothing to say.
At most, he would fight to the death.
"If I can't have it, then no one else can either. Shen Hong, Gu Changqing, Zhang Yi, Zhao Xinghuai, Du Chengwu, you all deserve to die!"
Xi Yang murmured. His murderous intent had accumulated to a very high level.
Boom!
A terrifying aura spread out from his body.
In an instant, all the koi fish in the pond were crushed into minced meat by this power.
The originally clear pond water had turned blood-red.
As for the servants beside him, their bodies directly exploded under this aura, turning into a bloody mist that scattered across the sky.
Only the old eunuch's body emitted a subtle wave of energy that blocked this aura.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Quell my anger, I will naturally quell my anger. As long as all the traitors are killed, that will be enough." Xi Yang also withdrew his aura at this time, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As for the bloody scene around him, he simply glanced at it.
Then.
The old eunuch waved his hand, and a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, erasing all traces.
Even the blood in the pond was gone. Instead, it was replaced by clear pond water.
"Let's find a time to raise some fish here. Otherwise, an empty pond will be a little ugly." After Xi Yang finished speaking, he had already walked away.
"Yes!"
The old eunuch bowed and accepted the order, then followed behind Xi Yang and left.
At the same time.
The aura that had just erupted also alarmed the experts who were hiding in the palace.
However, after these people did not notice anything unusual, they all regained their calm.
Not long after Xi Yang left, a guard immediately rushed over. The moment he saw Xi Yang, he knelt down on one knee. "Your Majesty, the rebels have attacked the Central State Prefecture!"
"They're here!"
Xi Yang's fingers that were tucked in his sleeves trembled slightly, and the expression on his face turned cold.
The rebels had attacked the Central State Prefecture.
This was something that he had long expected.
In these few days, the Five Prefectures had been mobilizing their armies. The news that they had stationed troops at the border of the Central State Prefecture was not a secret.
Even the commoners knew about this news. It was impossible that the imperial court did not know about it at all.
However, even though this was something that he had long prepared for.
When it really happened, it still made his heart tremble, and he felt a great pressure.
However, Xi Yang did not reveal any of this. Instead, he quietly looked at the guard and said, "Tell me what exactly happened!"
"The rebels from the Five Prefectures, Nan Feng, Bai Yong, Qian Shan, Wu An, and Luo Yue, have divided into three armies. A total of seventy million troops have officially crossed the border and are heading towards the Central State Prefecture."
The guard's voice trembled slightly.
Seventy million troops!
Xi Yang took a deep breath, then suddenly laughed. "They've really invested a lot. This seventy million troops are probably the elites of the Five Prefectures. They're not afraid that they'll all die in our Central State Prefecture."
At the end, his eyes were frighteningly cold.
Then.
Xi Yang ordered, "Immediately gather the officials for a meeting. I'll wait for them in the hall. If anyone doesn't arrive within an hour, they'll be treated as rebels and punished!"
"Yes!"
