High-level hunters often appeared in the form of prey.
The Demons viewed Lu Qingshan as prey and sent out all of their forces to search for him in the Mang Province, attempting to capture the daring culprit.
Their resolute attitude could be sensed from the tense atmosphere in the demon-occupied region.
According to Lu Qingshan's original plan, they only needed to hide in the Mang Province for a while and let the Demons believe that they had left the province. Then, the Demons would end this large-scale search and pursuit.
Because even the demon race couldn't afford such a waste and consumption of manpower.
Just for the sake of one or two unidentified human cultivators, they had sent so many people to do nothing but search for them all day long?
Perhaps it would not be a waste for the Demons to let those low-grade demonic cultivators continue the search, but the resources of Grade Seven and above could not be left idle.
And without these high-grade demonic cultivators patrolling, what use would it be for the low-grade demonic cultivators to find them?
These were human cultivators who could massacre cities. Wouldn't mere low-grade demonic cultivators be sent to their deaths?
This was the conclusion that Lu Qingshan had obtained from his analysis of the Demons' situation. It was also the source of his daring confidence.
However, after obtaining the Heart Lotus and relying on it to break through to the late stage of the Soul Realm, Lu Qingshan's plans had already changed.
He was prepared to take the initiative.
After slaughtering and destroying a city under the Demons' control, if he could kill one or several high-grade demonic cultivators that the Demons had sent out to patrol …
Then, all the Demons in the Mang Province would be intimidated, and the higher-ups of the Demons would truly begin to take their existence seriously. This involved the energy of the truly powerful high-grade demonic cultivators.
.....
Nearly a hundred powerful demonic cultivators spread out from Mountain Guard City and began the search.
Even the weakest of these demonic cultivators was a high-grade Demon Commander.
This was because the Devil Race clearly understood that if they didn't have the battle prowess of a high level Devil Commander, they wouldn't even be able to delay the human cultivators for a moment until their main forces arrived.
Tai Gong was a high-level Demons Tai Gong of the Tai Clan.
The Tai Family's strength was not considered strong. The entire family only had three Demon Masters.
However, at the beginning of the Battle of Spirit Seizing, the Tai Clan was one of the first clans to participate in the battle and made a great contribution.
Therefore, the Tai Family was the first to be given a few human cities and territories as rewards.
At this moment, the three demon masters of the Tai Family were following the army to battle on the frontlines, trying to earn more battle merits for the Tai Family. Meanwhile, he was guarding the few cities that he had been given earlier.
Afterwards, he received orders from above to leave the clan's city and begin a search and capture mission on the Mang province.
In Taipa Palace's view, there was not much hope of finding the culprit by relying on their hundred Demon Commanders and the group of low-grade Demon Cultivators who only knew how to search everywhere like headless flies.
After all, if it were him, he would definitely find a place to hide after massacring the city.
The Mang province's territory was so vast. Finding a human cultivator who was hiding was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
A human cultivator who was hiding was much harder to find than a human cultivator who was on the move.
However, since this was an order from a high-level Demon Cultivator, he naturally did not dare to disobey. He only thought that after searching for a while and finding nothing, they should be dismissed.
As for the humans massacring the city …
They massacred the Flame Snake Demons' Yan Family's city, not his Tai Family's city. What did it have to do with him?
Demons had always been selfish.
Although they had a unified name — Demons.
In reality, Demons could only be considered as a general name. They were divided into various races. Between each race, their appearance, customs, abilities, and so on were all different. There were not many bonds between them.
They were not a unified race like the humans. Everyone could be called compatriots. Naturally, they could not have the unity and dedication of the humans.
Of course, this did not mean that the Demons were inferior to the humans in terms of battle dispatching.
Although there was no such thing as unity in their culture, the Abyss was a hegemonic world. The Eight Great Saint Demons firmly ruled over the various races in their territories. They acted arbitrarily. Hence, they were even superior to the humans in terms of dispatching.
After all, when there were more people, there would be different voices and different opinions. There would be disputes. It was very difficult to persuade the companions who had different opinions.
The Demons did not have this problem.
They were the ones who had the final say.
.....
Tai Gong released his Divine Sense and searched the surroundings aimlessly and perfunctorily.
However, what he did not know was that there was a pair of "eyes" watching him coldly near him.
Tai Gong, who had the combat strength of a high-level Demon Commander, was not a race that specialized in cultivating the Original Spirit like the Heart Demons. Hence, his Original Spirit Realm had just reached the early-stage Soul Realm.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, had a powerful Primordial Spirit at the late-stage Soul Realm.
With such a huge difference in realm, when Lu Qingshan used his Divine Sense to observe Tai Gong, Tai Gong did not notice Lu Qingshan's existence.
Lu Qingshan, who was hiding in the dark, had a cold gaze.
He knew that the Devil Cultivator in front of him must have some special communication method. If he appeared, he would immediately send a message to ask for help.
At that time, dozens of high-level Demon Commanders would rush over and surround him and Mo Yan. No matter how extraordinary their methods were, it would be difficult for them to escape.
But so what? These high-level Demon Commanders would need time to rush over.
He only needed to kill this high-level Demon Commander in front of him in an extremely short period of time and then quickly escape.
The key was to end the battle quickly. He must not be entangled in the battle and waste too much time on the high-level Demon Commander in front of him.
After possessing a late-stage Soul Realm Primordial Spirit, this was no longer difficult for him.
Lu Qingshan saw that Tai Gong was getting closer and closer to him until he was less than a hundred miles away.
"Do it!" Then, he transmitted his voice to Mo Yan, who was not far away.
Thus, flames immediately emerged from Mo Yan's palm. A ferocious aura suddenly erupted and attacked Tai Gong.
As soon as Mo Yan's aura erupted, Tai Gong, who seemed to be careless but was actually vigilant, immediately reacted.
He was like a weak woman who had suddenly seen a centipede. His entire body was shocked, and then he suddenly shouted, "Who is it?!"
Who, naturally, is the person who will kill you!
What answered him was a fierce flood dragon formed from flames.
As a high-level Demon Commander, Tai Gong's reaction could not be said to be slow.
He released his God-Demon Body, protected his body with Devil Qi, displayed his Divine Ability, and punched out.
All of this happened in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, countless ice crystals flew out from his fist. Like an old demon, they swallowed the incoming flame flood dragon.
Mo Yan did not react to this.
Of course, he did not think that he could achieve any results with this move alone.
In fact, compared to Lu Qingshan's heaven-defying methods, other than the Alien Flame Lotus, his other methods were not enough to truly pose a threat to a high-level Demon Commander.
However, the Alien Flame Lotus was not like a sword cultivator's flying sword. It needed time to accumulate power to activate. Ordinary enemies would not easily give him this time.
Of course, there were pros and cons. Once he successfully released the Alien Flame Lotus, even Lu Qingshan would feel ashamed of his inferiority in front of its terrifying destructive power.
"It's you!" Tai Gong's pupils contracted as he stared at Mo Yan. He suddenly remembered that Mountain Guard City had turned into a barren land and suddenly realized, "The human cultivator who massacred the city!"
Then, without hesitation, he pounced toward Mo Yan like a meteor.
Demons and humans had been at odds for ten thousand years. They were very familiar with the human cultivation system and their respective weaknesses.
The human cultivator in front of him was clearly a Dharma cultivator.
Dharma cultivators were most afraid of close combat.
They were even more afraid than sword cultivators.
Sword cultivators' bodies were fragile, but there were also those who were proficient in external swords and good at close combat.
Dharma cultivators, without exception, did not have many close combat methods. They all needed to control the distance between them and their enemies.
Demonic Qi surged on Tai Gong's body. Under the God-Demon Body, smoke-like ice crystals rose from his body into the sky. It was a shocking sight.
His face was ferocious and ruthless. He exploded with astonishing speed and quickly approached Mo Yan.
However, as he got closer, he saw a meaningful smile on Mo Yan's calm face.
"Not good!" Tai Gong's heart jumped.
Between heaven and earth, there was a faint flash of sword light, but it disappeared in a flash.
Then, what lit up was a dazzling but illusory and hazy flame.
Complete Heart Sword with Soul Flame!
The combination of sword techniques was originally the sword's main attack and the technique's support.
This time, Mo Yan's attack was a real support.
The goal was just to attract Tai Gong's attention and buy some time for Lu Qingshan.
The three transparent Heart Swords were connected head to tail. Nine black light patterns flickered on each sword, connecting to form a slightly longer Heart Sword.
The surface of the sword was burning with Soul Flame. It passed through the void and silently entered Tai Gong's body.
At this moment, Tai Gong's Original Spirit was ruthlessly slashed through.
In addition to the intense pain, there was also a lingering Soul Flame attached to the Original Spirit.
The burning intent came, turning this high-level Demon Commander into a corpse. He was muddle-headed and confused. He did not know who he was, where he came from, where he was going …
Lu Qingshan naturally would not miss this sure-kill opportunity created by Mo Yan and himself.
With a thought in his mind, a dark sword light with rolling Devil Qi swept out.
Sure-Kill!
Therefore, this time, Lu Qingshan used his most powerful Life Sword, Demon Suppression!
With the support of Lu Qingshan's True Meaning of Destruction, True Meaning of Nirvana, and True Meaning of Immortality, the sword light formed by Demon Suppression was like the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky. It swept up thousands of waves, bringing with it unparalleled pressure and power.
The sword light flashed and arrived in front of Tai Gong in an instant. Then, the Demonic Qi gathered in the sword blade. Yin and Yang were destroyed, suppressing and slaying Demons.
Tai Gong forced himself to focus and recover from the Heart Sword's sudden slash. Just as he was about to rally, he suddenly felt something. A black light reflected in his pupils.
He looked up and saw that the dark sword was already slashing down on his head. There was no way to dodge, no way to avoid, and no way to respond.
Thus, Tai Gong's body was shattered under the sword that doubled the power of Demons.
A bloody mist filled the sky, thousands of feet high in the sky.
"This …" Mo Yan looked at the bloody mist that Tai Gong had turned into and recalled Lu Qingshan's Demonic Qi sword. He was shocked and horrified.
His tranquil heart trembled slightly.
He was shocked by Lu Qingshan's strength and was also shocked by the Demon Suppression's Demonic Qi.
"The situation is tense. Retreat!" Lu Qingshan neatly put away the Demon Suppression that was still somewhat unsatisfied. Then, he casually picked up a mustard seed that was drifting in the wind. He did not care about what Mo Yan was thinking and shouted to him through voice transmission.
Although it took less than a breath's time to kill Tai Gong, Lu Qingshan was sure that Tai Gong had found an opportunity to send out a signal to inform the other Devil Cultivators.
The Demons were definitely not incompetent and stupid.
Lu Qingshan was certain of this.
In fact, the Demons were not incompetent. They could even be considered astute and astute.
All the major events that had happened in the past few years had proven this point.
In particular, the betrayal of the Huan Ling and the fall of Dragon City were painful blows to the Human Race.
How could the patience and methods of the Demons not make Lu Qingshan afraid after twenty thousand years of hibernation and planning?
In addition, stirring up trouble in the demon-occupied area was originally a matter of dancing on the edge of a blade.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not dare to delay or be careless in the slightest. He immediately wrapped himself in sword light and brought Mo Yan far away.
The most important thing about courting death and not dying was to stay clear-headed.
Lu Qingshan had always been clear-headed and did not become arrogant because of his achievements.
Guerrilla warfare!
This was Lu Qingshan's idea.
Firing one shot for one shot was a battle tactic that had been proven in actual combat in his previous life. It was especially used when the weak side wreaked havoc behind the enemy's back. The effect was remarkable.
Now, Lu Qingshan directly used it in its original form.
He would let the other party chase and hide in the dark. Then, he would wait for the right opportunity to take a bite out of the soft persimmon and immediately flee thousands of miles away.
About seven minutes after Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan left, streaks of Devil Clan's fleeing lights finally arrived in the sky in the form of shooting stars.
The face of the Tiger Demon Master in the lead was as cold as ice. He was furious at the death of his comrade.
However, he did not expect that he was angry too early.
Just two hours after Taipa Palace was killed, another piece of bad news came.
Thousands of miles away from where Taipa Palace was killed, the Yun Residence's prefectural city was massacred!
Just as a large number of high-ranked Devil Cultivators were rushing to where Taipa Palace was killed, Lu Qingshan did not stop. While the Devil Cultivators were gathering, he took the opportunity to attack Chang Yun Residence's prefectural city.
Luring the tiger away from the mountain.
He had just massacred Mountain Guard City, but he did not immediately hide. Instead, he took the initiative to attack and kill a patrolling high-level Devil Commander, then massacred the entire city.
Such audacity, such arrogance, such an act of taking advantage of others …
All the rulers among the Devil Cultivators could not take it anymore.
This time, the entire demon-occupied area was shaken. They were thoroughly enraged.
The alarm had already been raised. Everyone in the two prefectures occupied by Devils was mobilized, and a large-scale search was carried out.
A large number of Grade Seven Devil Cultivators were sent out. Even a few Devil Masters who were above Grade Two were sent out personally to search for the human attacker.
However, with the Devil Cultivators sent out, the defenses of the Demons' cities would definitely weaken.
Hence, less than an hour later, the prefectural city of Pear Province's Iron Shell Residence, which bordered Mang Province, was also attacked by human cultivators.
They attacked three cities in a single day!
The only difference was that the human cultivators did not choose to massacre the city this time. They did not even show themselves. They merely controlled three flying swords to wreak havoc in the city before retreating quietly.
However, no matter what, this announced that this mysterious human cultivator had already left Mang Province and entered Pear Province.
Pear Province was in a state of panic.
The Demons immediately placed most of their forces in Pear Province. With lightning speed, they completely sealed off Pear Province's borders. They had decided to catch a turtle in a jar.
However, all of this no longer had anything to do with Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan.
This was because the last attack on the city was merely a smokescreen that Lu Qingshan had intentionally released.
With the Mind's Eye's range amplification, he launched an attack on Pear Province's Iron Shell Residence's prefectural city from tens of thousands of miles away.
After successfully creating the illusion that he was on Pear Province's side, Lu Qingshan brought Mo Yan to search for the source of the green snake's undulations. They continued to travel deeper into Mang Province.
Currently, the Demons were moving most of their forces from Mang Province to Pear Province. They formed an inescapable net, swearing to ferret out Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan, on the other hand, were getting further and further away from Pear Province.
They were going in opposite directions.
