According to Zhu Jin's plan, with such an obvious advantage in strength, they wouldn't even need a day to complete the mission. Hence, just like the previous time, Zhu Jin didn't even consider the other party's reinforcements.
If he had to scheme against the other party's reinforcements, then there was no need to fight. This was because if the other party had reinforcements, the Heavenly Bandits wouldn't be able to succeed unless Xiao Lingyu joined in as well.
"What demonic formation did they set up?" Xiao Lingyu asked Zhu Jin without a change in expression as he looked at the Demonic Scorpion Valley that was shrouded in black demonic creatures and occasionally emitted sharp demonic beast roars.
Zhu Jin wasn't very strong. Like Xiao Lingyu, he didn't come with the expected combat strength.
"This is the Demonic Scorpion Formation that they asked a formation expert to help create. Previously, we attacked it once, and it was quite powerful. However, if we don't care about our losses, we can break it in two hours. If we want to break it with the smallest sacrifice, we'll need more than half a day," Zhu Jin explained calmly as he stared in the direction of the Demonic Scorpion Valley.
"We don't have many people now, so we can't afford to expend too much energy. It's better to break the formation with the smallest sacrifice. Otherwise, even if we take down the other party, we won't earn much," Xiao Lingyu said rationally after some thought.
To be honest, although Xiao Lingyu wasn't a vicious person, he didn't really care about the lives of these bandits. He understood the principle that a general's success was built on thousands of corpses. If he wanted to accumulate magic stones for himself, someone had to pay the price.
And if these people wanted to follow Xiao Lingyu and achieve great success, they had to be prepared to sacrifice their lives at any time. Furthermore, which bandit didn't know that the road ahead was dangerous?
However, it was still good to have fewer sacrifices. After all, they had just started out, and their business was too small to withstand great storms.
"This Demonic Scorpion Formation's power is equivalent to that of two late-stage Demon King experts. If we can get a late-stage Demon King expert to help us, we can easily break this demonic formation," Zhu Jin said meaningfully.
"Haha, there are many things that can't be done too simply. Our team needs more training. If everything is done too simply, it will be difficult for us to fight difficult battles in the future." Xiao Lingyu shook her head and laughed.
When Xiao Lingyu arrived at the Devil World, he didn't want to be too high-profile. After all, in his opinion, the Devil World was just a transit station for him to go to the Immortal World. He didn't want to stay here for too long, so during his time in the Devil World, he wanted to make as few moves as possible.
It was impossible for him to not make a move at all. He might even go on a killing spree like he did in the cultivation world.
No one could predict the future, but Xiao Lingyu would control a little of what she could control now.
Having already attacked the Demonic Scorpion Formation once, she was naturally more familiar with it this time. The work of breaking the formation was proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, since the Demonic Scorpion Sect dared to stay, they naturally did not rely solely on the Demonic Scorpion Formation. When they saw the Heavenly Bandits' speed of breaking the formation increasing, they knew that they would not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived. They released all the Demonic Scorpions they had raised and ordered them to attack the cultivators of the Heavenly Bandits to reduce the pressure on their demonic formation.
Although the Demonic Scorpions' cultivations were not high, they were all fearless. They attacked wave after wave, causing the cultivators of the Heavenly Bandits to immediately stop attacking the demonic formation.
"Have you encountered this before?" Xiao Lingyu asked Zhu Jin.
If the speed of breaking the formation was not increased, the Demonic Scorpion Sect might really be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
"I haven't," Zhu Jin replied without any change in his expression.
"Then, have you made any preparations to deal with this situation?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Yes," Zhu Jin said with a nod.
Just as Zhu Jin finished speaking, a dozen or so late stage Heavenly Devil Realm experts among the cultivators of the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group that were attacking the Demonic Scorpion Formation leapt into the air and threw bags of white powder down from the sky.
When the powder landed on the Demonic Scorpions, they immediately emitted smoke from their bodies. The Demonic Scorpions also let out blood-curdling screeches as they tried to shake off the smoke from their bodies, unable to continue attacking.
"This move is very targeted!" Xiao Lingyu praised.
"However, there are no shortcuts to breaking this Demonic Scorpion Formation. We can only rely on strong attacks," Zhu Jin said gloomily.
The Demonic Scorpion Formation was created by the Heavenly Bandits. The other cultivators did not know the principles behind it at all. They had only attacked it once and were unable to find a flaw in it.
However, after dealing with the Demonic Scorpions' charge, the Heavenly Bandits' attacks on the Demonic Scorpion Formation continued to increase. After half a day, the Demonic Scorpion Formation showed signs of collapsing.
Under the attacks of more than a hundred bandits, the Demonic Scorpion Formation continued to rumble. Although the Demonic Qi surged more vigorously, its momentum gradually weakened.
"We're about to break the formation. Everyone, get ready!" a bandit leader shouted as he increased his attacks.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and I can't believe I've run into you here again! This time, you're all going to die! "
Just as the Demonic Scorpion Formation was being attacked, an angry roar came from the distance. Then, a black light shot out from the distance and turned into a black figure standing in the air.
"Oh no, that old guy of the early stage of the True Demon Realm is here again!" Zhu Jin's expression changed drastically.
Zhu Jin was about to order the bandits to gather together to deal with this person, but he was stopped by Xiao Lingyu.
"Don't panic. He just advanced to the early stage of the True Demon Realm not long ago. He can't be that powerful," Xiao Lingyu glanced at the black figure and said calmly.
Zhu Jin had absolute trust in Xiao Lingyu, but he didn't know how strong Xiao Lingyu was. After thinking about it carefully, he calmed down a little.
Xiao Lingyu and Zhu Jin could calm down, but the bandits couldn't. Most of them had seen this person's magical powers and methods. They all thought that this expert would ruin their operation again.
"Continue to attack the Demonic Scorpion Formation!"
Many bandits were preparing to retreat, but just as they turned around, they heard Xiao Lingyu's shout. Then, the bandit leaders took the lead and turned around to continue attacking. Only then did the Heavenly Bandits not collapse because of the early stage True Demon Realm expert's appearance.
"Kid, you're only at the late stage of the Demon King Realm, but you're quite bold!"
After hearing Xiao Lingyu's shout, the black figure wrapped himself in a mighty aura and whistled down.
"You guys just do your best to complete the mission. Leave this old guy to me."
Xiao Lingyu said to Zhu Jin. He also stood up, but his aura didn't increase by much.
The strength of a Ninth Tribulation expert in the Cultivation World was equivalent to the late stage of the Demon King Realm. Xiao Lingyu's realm was just one level higher than a Ninth Tribulation expert, comparable to the early stage of the True Demon Realm.
However, in terms of realm, Xiao Lingyu's strength wasn't something an ordinary early stage True Demon Realm expert could compare to. On the other hand, his opponent had just advanced to the early stage of the True Demon Realm. If he didn't have an overly powerful magic treasure, he wouldn't be a match for Xiao Lingyu. That was why Xiao Lingyu was so bold and calm.
Bang!!!
Xiao Lingyu and his opponent met in mid-air. Their palms fiercely pressed together, and then they both retreated. Powerful shockwaves of aura swept out in all directions, causing all the bandits and cultivators of the Demon Scorpion Sect to turn pale with fright.
It was also because of this shockwave of aura that the Demon Scorpion Formation, which was already on the verge of collapse, immediately collapsed. Black Demon Qi gushed out from the Demon Scorpion Valley, and huge Demon Scorpions revealed themselves from the Demon Qi.
The Heavenly Bandits didn't rush over to fight with the other party. Instead, they surrounded the other party tightly. If anyone dared to rush out, everyone would focus their attacks on them. No one would be able to rush out.
The overall strength of the Heavenly Bandits far exceeded that of the Demon Scorpion Sect, so they could easily eliminate the other party.
At first, the other party didn't want to rush out after all the cultivators who wanted to rush out were killed. However, when they saw the encirclement of the Heavenly Bandits gradually shrinking, they couldn't hold back anymore.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu attacked was because he wanted to see what level he was at in the Demon Realm.
When the two palms collided, Xiao Lingyu and his opponent were each sent flying a distance away.
However, although this palm seemed to be evenly matched, Xiao Lingyu actually only used half of his strength. Moreover, his cultivation was only at the late-stage Demon King level.
Even if he only used the strength of a late-stage Demon King, Xiao Lingyu cultivated the Chaotic Force, which was enough for him to challenge an early-stage True Demon cultivator who had just advanced.
"Eh? You really do have some ability! "
The other party strangely praised. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a black ray of light. A spinning wheel flashing with bloody light swept towards Xiao Lingyu at an extremely fast speed.
"You actually have a high-grade Demon Treasure …"
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't show the slightest bit of fear. His body directly rushed towards the spinning wheel. When he was about to reach it, he fiercely threw out a punch.
For an early-stage True Demon cultivator, being able to have a high-grade Demon Treasure was definitely not a shallow fortune.
However, a high-grade Demon Treasure was no threat to Xiao Lingyu. Moreover, under Xiao Lingyu's punch, the magic treasure's demonic light instantly dimmed and it flew into the sky like a meteor.
"How is this possible?"
The early-stage True Demon cultivator turned pale with fright. Only now did he realize that he had kicked an iron plate. He immediately fled in the direction his spinning wheel had flown.
"You want to leave now? It's too late!"
Xiao Lingyu sneered. The wings of extreme speed appeared behind him. In a flash, he was already side by side with the other party. With another flash, he blocked the other party's path.
"Don't tell me you want to kill me all?" The cultivator knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply stopped and asked.
"If I let you live, will you continue to look for my bandit group in the future?" Xiao Lingyu asked indifferently.
"I can swear to the heavens that I won't think about revenge again. How about it?" The person looked very sincere.
"Actually, I'm quite interested in the fact that you've passed by here twice. Can you tell me about it?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile.
If it was said that the person passing by here last time was a coincidence, but this time, the person appeared here again. Xiao Lingyu naturally had reason to suspect that there was a problem.
The reason why he asked was because Xiao Lingyu planned to use this valley as the base of the Heavenly Bandits. With such an early-stage True Demon expert frequently coming here, Xiao Lingyu naturally couldn't be at ease.
"I'm just passing by." When Xiao Lingyu asked, the other party's eyes flickered, but then he said perfunctorily.
