Although Xiao Lingyu didn't seem to have a high cultivation, he was actually not much weaker than an Early-stage Demon Monarch. Moreover, he had many top-grade Demon Treasures with him. With him protecting the Heavenly Bandits and Tuoba Honglai leading the way, everyone's journey was naturally very smooth.
It only took them twelve days to arrive at their destination. They arrived outside a large valley surrounded by more than a dozen mountains.
At this time, the Evil Qi was extremely dense. Everyone would consume a lot of energy if they stayed here for even a moment longer.
"The treasure is in this valley. It's not good to stay here for long. Everyone, adjust your state of mind. We'll set off in an hour." Tuoba Honglai narrowed his eyes and observed for a while before instructing in a deep voice.
Thus, everyone chose a place to sit down and meditate. At the same time, they fed themselves some elixirs.
However, before an hour had passed, there was a sudden tremor all around. Then, a ray of Demon Light shot up from the valley and pushed away all the Evil Qi roaring in the valley.
A vast and mighty shockwave accompanied by a torrential baleful aura swept over, causing the expressions of Xiao Lingyu and the others to change abruptly.
"Oh no, everyone, get out of the way!"
In fact, when Tuoba Honglai shouted this, all the Heavenly Bandits experts, including Xiao Lingyu, had already retreated thousands of feet away. At the same time, they launched a collective attack against the Evil Qi and Demon Aura surging in front of them.
The attacks launched by so many experts converged in an instant. Like a long rainbow, they split everything in front of them into two.
The Evil Qi and Demon Aura flew away from the Heavenly Bandits cultivators on both sides, causing them no harm.
This was the power of a group!
Although the Heavenly Bandits hadn't been together for long, they had experienced many battles during this time. With the experienced Xia Liang's guidance and the astute Zhu Jin's cooperation and coordination, everyone naturally had a better understanding of each other. Thus, they were able to exert more and more combat power.
As for Tuoba Honglai, as a Demon Monarch expert who was determined to obtain the treasure, he naturally wouldn't be hurt by the Evil Qi and Demon Aura.
However, Tuoba Honglai's expression turned ugly when he saw two figures flying out of the valley along with the demonic light.
"Someone beat us to it. We can't wait any longer. Everyone, follow me!"
Tuoba Honglai shouted and leaped into the air, flying into the air above the valley.
"All of you have to stay by my side. Let's stick together and be careful."
Xiao Lingyu didn't hesitate either. After giving some instructions, she followed Tuoba Honglai into the valley.
At this moment, the demonic light still did not dissipate. Like a sharp sword, it pierced into the sky and released waves of terrifying aura fluctuations.
As for the two figures that were flying in the air, they fell back into the valley.
It was obvious that the demonic light was released by the treasure. The two figures didn't fly up because they were chasing after the demonic treasure, but because they were shocked into the air by the aura released by the treasure.
"I'll go down and take a look. You guys stay nearby. If there's a fight and outsiders fly up, you can attack them together!"
Tuoba Honglai transmitted his voice to Xiao Lingyu, then descended into the valley from the air.
Xiao Lingyu could feel that the two cultivators in the valley were also Demon Monarchs. Therefore, even without Tuoba Honglai's instructions, he wouldn't easily get involved.
Now that the three Demon Monarchs were fighting for the treasure below, the fight must be very fierce. If Xiao Lingyu went down, he would most likely die on the spot if he was attacked by any of the two Demon Monarchs. After all, the Demon Monarchs below might not be only at the initial stage.
Everything in the valley was covered by the dazzling demonic light. Xiao Lingyu's realm was not high, so he couldn't see the situation below clearly. Fortunately, he didn't look and just waited quietly.
In less than a hundred breaths, two figures flew up. One of them was Tuoba Honglai.
Xiao Lingyu did not hesitate either. He immediately acted according to their previous agreement and attacked the other figure with the experts of the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group.
The other figure was also a Demon Monarch. The reason why he flew up was because he was pushed up by an irresistible aura. He was unable to stabilize his body, so how could he dodge the attacks of Xiao Lingyu and the others?
Just as the figure rose into the air, he was hit by the Chaotic Demonic Seal and other attacks. Even though he had put up a defense, he was still blasted far away.
Xiao Lingyu was the same as the Heavenly Bandits' cultivators. Once he attacked, especially when he had the upper hand, he wouldn't easily stop.
Take advantage of your weakness to take your life!
Before the Demon Monarch could stabilize himself, Xiao Lingyu and the hundred Heavenly Bandits' cultivators attacked together again. This time, they directly broke through the Demon Monarch's defense and seriously injured him.
"Stop! Don't fight yet! "
Tuoba Honglai finally stabilized himself and shouted anxiously.
The Demon Monarch was already seriously injured. One more round of attacks would be enough to kill him. After all, there were too many Heavenly Bandits experts here. In addition, Xiao Lingyu's attack power wasn't much weaker than an ordinary early-stage Demon Monarch. Moreover, the Demon Monarch didn't expect to be attacked by so many cultivators below the Demon Monarch level. It wouldn't be difficult for the Heavenly Bandits to kill him.
Tuoba Honglai's shout made Xiao Lingyu hesitate. However, Xiao Lingyu didn't listen to Tuoba Honglai. Instead, he continued to order the Heavenly Bandits' experts to attack the Demon Monarch …
The sound of explosions continued to ring out. After the Heaven Smiting Bandit group had finished another round of attacks, the Demon Monarch had already been blasted to nothingness.
In fact, this was the first time Xiao Lingyu had seen the killing power of all the Heavenly Bandits experts when they attacked together. He was very satisfied and surprised that they could kill an early-stage Demon Monarch.
Even if Xiao Lingyu wasn't here, if these hundred Heavenly Bandits' Spirit Demons and Mystical Demons ambushed an early-stage Demon Monarch, it was very likely that they would be able to kill him.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Bandits' strength, they wouldn't have dared to stay on the White Bone Continent and get their hands on the treasure.
"Why did you kill him?" Tuoba Honglai asked with a little dissatisfaction.
"We acted according to Fellow Daoist's instructions. Fellow Daoist told us to stop just now. It was too late," Xiao Lingyu calmly replied.
At that time, Xiao Lingyu could have stopped, but they had already severely injured the Demon Monarch. If they stopped, the Demon Monarch might not die, but who could guarantee that he wouldn't bear a grudge against the Heavenly Bandits? If he wasn't a magnanimous person, he would definitely take revenge on the Heavenly Bandits after the matter here was over.
Xiao Lingyu didn't want to provoke another Demon Monarch level enemy for the Heavenly Bandits. Since they had already started and there was a chance to kill the other party, he would never stop.
"There is an even stronger Demon Monarch below. If that person didn't die, we could still deal with the Demon Monarch below. But now …" Tuoba Honglai said gloomily.
"Could it be a late-stage Demon Monarch?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a frown.
"It should be. In any case, I can't see through his cultivation level." Tuoba Honglai nodded.
"Then, are we still going to snatch it?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Snatch it! Of course, we have to snatch it! Don't worry, you just need to stay on the sidelines. We won't let you have a direct confrontation with the Demon Monarch. That treasure is currently very difficult to move. If he wants to take it, he will have to consume a lot of energy! "Tuoba Honglai said firmly.
Xiao Lingyu didn't say anything else, but he secretly gave Xia Liang and the other Mysterious Demon experts a meaningful glance, indicating that they should be ready to retreat at any time.
If Xiao Lingyu used his Formless Gigantic Demon Art against an early-stage Demon Monarch, Xiao Lingyu would have no choice but to run away and barely protect himself against an early-stage Demon Monarch. As for a late-stage Demon Monarch, Xiao Lingyu felt that he wouldn't even have the chance to escape.
However, Tuoba Honglai was also an early-stage Demon Monarch, yet he looked very confident. This was why Xiao Lingyu dared to stay. He didn't believe that Tuoba Honglai wasn't afraid of death. Tuoba Honglai must have his own reasons for staying here.
Moreover, 70,000 Demon Crystals wasn't a small amount. Even if Xiao Lingyu didn't care much about it, he still had to think about the Heavenly Bandits.
After waiting for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Demon Light that had rushed up from the bottom of the valley suddenly disappeared. The dense Baleful Qi that had been pushed out of the valley rushed in like a torrent.
"Now!"
Tuoba Honglai jumped down without a second thought.
But a moment later, an even more powerful aura surged up from the bottom of the valley. Even Tuoba Honglai couldn't resist this aura and was directly pushed high into the sky.
Although Xiao Lingyu and the others were prepared for this, they were still caught off guard. More than a hundred experts from the Heaven Smiting Bandit Group were sent flying into the air along with Tuoba Honglai. No one was able to stabilize themselves.
This aura made Xiao Lingyu tremble a little. In the face of this aura, he felt that he wasn't even worth mentioning. The existence that could release this kind of aura had already surpassed the Demon Monarch realm and could easily crush him to death.
After Xiao Lingyu stabilized himself, he found that there was another person around him. This person's cultivation was clearly much higher than his, but he also looked very miserable.
However, the aura came and went suddenly. By the time everyone stabilized themselves, the aura had already disappeared.
But then, a shocking scene appeared in the valley.
A giant that was thousands of feet tall stood up from the depths of the valley. Behind the giant, there were a few broken wings that gently flapped.
The giant's body was also riddled with holes and rotten flesh. One of his arms was gone, and only half of his head was left.
Anyone who saw this would tremble in fear.
The giant's remaining hand was holding a huge black cross-shaped sword. The huge sword was five thousand feet long and seventy feet wide. At this moment, the giant's entire body was surrounded by a pitch-black radiance. It made the giant look very tall, like an ancient demon god!
"Did he come back to life?" Xiao Lingyu said with a grave expression.
