A Human's Huiyang, a Demon's Myriad Manifestations

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

"Bang!" He Guihun, who was hastily parrying, was so hit by the stick that his waist bent down.

Although he knew Huiyang, his current strength was indeed only at the level of Tengyun, and it would be difficult for him to cope with so many attacks from both sides in a head-on confrontation.

But after this attack, He Guihun actually breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He realized that Qin Yi wasn't as strong as he had imagined. If he were truly strong, this attack would at least have injured him, but it didn't.

Qin Yi was already very weak.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the massive black and red body of the aerial Devil Creature disintegrate into dust, settling back into the realm of existence—a scene of almost dreamlike beauty. Meanwhile, a tiny, fingernail-sized speck of pitch-black marrow slowly condensed and merged into the blood jade, staining the crimson jade with its dark hue. It flowed within the crimson, seemingly alive.

Qin Yi finally had time to collect the Blood Jade, and his heart was at ease a little. This was at least a second-grade Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, and obtaining it was the greatest achievement of this trip. All that was left was to deal with He Guihun, and then everything would be over.

However, Liusu had almost single-handedly refined the soul of this realm, and she was also somewhat exhausted. At this moment, her soul power was depleted, so she went back to sleep. In other words, Qin Yi was also truly out of resources at this time, and had no more trump cards left.

His Law Power was completely depleted from forcibly using the Zhan Guang Sword and was unable to recover on its own, leaving him no room to even take any medicine to replenish it. He was also extremely exhausted, only managing to hold on through sheer willpower.

Even his Martial Cultivation skills were no longer half of what they used to be. After all, he had been fighting almost non-stop since the start of the competition, only taking a short rest in the previous Yin Illusion Sand Hall. It was simply not enough.

Now Liusu is asleep too.

At this time, Qin Yi was still regarded as the strongest link, but in reality, he might not even be able to defeat Li Qingjun and Cheng Cheng, since these two had suffered almost no injuries.

In other words, there's a serious problem... they might not be able to defeat He Guihun right now!

He Guihun, holding Qin Yi's Wolf Tooth Club, slowly straightened his leaning body and chuckled, "If your skills stop here, then you may add the final flame!"

Qin Yi spat.

Cheng Cheng's voice transmission came through. "Qin Yi, Demon Nine Palaces."

Qin Yi understood immediately.

A ghostly, malevolent voice swept past, and Zheng Yunyi rolled over in a disheveled state, still shaken as he got to his feet. He thought he was quite powerful, having temporarily absorbed energy using the Secret Method of the Strategist Sect to reach the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer. However, he never expected to be so vulnerable in front of He Guihun. The latter had only used a wisp of his Soul Banner to deal with him, yet it had almost cost him his life.

Looking around, he discovered that the Seven Stars Array had actually started to move while Qin Yi was attacking.

No longer in the shape of seven stars, but forming a different formation, completely surrounding He Guihun. Chengcheng was positioned at the Array Core Cheng Cheng, and Qin Yi quickly changed positions, occupying a spot. Zheng Yunyi immediately recognized it as a nine-palace formation, and before Qin Yi could even speak, he readily filled in the last position.

Nine people, representing the nine stars and nine palaces, surrounded He Guihun.

He Guihun had just repelled Qin Yi and stood still when he noticed that his surroundings had changed.

He looked around, frowning slightly.

The Seven Stars Array and the Nine Palaces Array are both basic formations; their actual effects and variations depend primarily on the operation of the Array Core master. He had already miscalculated when breaking the Seven Stars Array, attempting to break it using conventional human formation methods was completely ineffective.

Therefore, he claimed that he had "miscalculated".

Because this is a demon formation.

The same goes for this Nine Palaces Array. It looks very simple, but its core is subtly different from what he knows, and he can't break it.

He Guihun looked up at Cheng Cheng remained expressionless.

Strange, this is clearly a human woman, and she cultivates auxiliary arts, so how could she know demon arrays... Knowing demon arrays is one thing, but her control and transformation of arrays are beyond the reach of a Tengyun-level figure, just like He Guihun, whose understanding of the Dao is not Tengyun-level either, it's the same principle.

Could it be that this woman, like him, was suppressed by Huiyang and transformed into Tengyun to sneak in?

Thoughts drifted through my mind when a burst of gunfire suddenly appeared to my side.

Penglai Sword Pavilion, the Stern Sun Divine Spear!

He Guihun casually blocked the attack, and the fierce force made his internal organs churn, almost causing him to vomit blood.

This Nine Palaces Array actually amplified the power of Li Qingjun's spear strike ninefold!

The next moment, the yin-yang, icy, fiery, and sword light filled the heavens and earth.

He Guihun knew perfectly well that each attack was the result of nine people working together, and when the spear light came, the other eight would be completely powerless. He Guihun couldn't see where anyone was; everything seemed empty. When the spear light came, he could only see the shadow of a dragon, and when the flames burned, he could only see the shape of a Vermilion Bird.

He didn't even know where to hit when he retaliated!

What a blunder! Knowing that this was a group of wounded and exhausted soldiers, Huiyang could easily have entered with his abilities, and he wouldn't have been afraid of any formations... But he never expected it to be a demon formation... He had heard of this kind of formation before; it was a variation of the Qingqiu Sky Fox Illusion Array, which should be a secret passed down only by the Demon Race. It shouldn't have appeared here at all!

He Guihun gritted his teeth and shook the soul banner once more.

This is his strongest natal treasure, forged from the sacrifices of countless vengeful spirits. If used at full power outdoors, it can cause desolation for thousands of miles, annihilating all living beings. It is one of the most typical demonic and Evil Method. Without a soul power of the Radiant Sun level, it is impossible to resist.

Logically speaking, such a wide-range attack could break the wonder of the formation.

All the attacks from all sides landed on Wan Hun, and the entire altar exploded into a cloud of smoke. Amidst the endless smoke, a Soul Lamp faintly lit up.

Tai Puzi's soul treasure, which was at the Tengyun level, was transformed into the Huiyang level under the enhancement of the formation!

All the vengeful spirits vanished without a trace under the power of the Soul Lamp, like mud oxen sinking into the sea.

The clash of souls may not manifest in a dramatic way, but it is far more dangerous.

"Crack..." The soul banner cracked, and the Soul Lamp also developed a crack.

Both Law Treasure are destroyed at the same time!

Suddenly, a golden ring appeared before him, slamming heavily towards He Guihun's forehead. He Guihun dodged it, the golden ring vanished, but suddenly reappeared on his back, silently striking him in the back of the heart.

"Pfft..." He Guihun finally spat out a mouthful of blood, and then suddenly broke outwards.

We must retreat. These nine wounded soldiers are not to be trifled with, and the white-clad woman at the heart of the formation is definitely a master!

Putting aside the changes in the formation, the changes in the golden ring alone are extremely mysterious. Ordinary cultivators using the Cloud Soaring Technique could not possibly deceive He Guihun with such changes and rotations. Even Zheng Yunyi's Scheming Sect technique could not fool him. Yet this woman managed to deceive him so easily!

In terms of strength, skill, or even just understanding of the Dao, this woman is definitely an opponent of the same level.

This was a huge blunder... we shouldn't have come at all.

In this short period of time, almost everyone felt that they shouldn't have come, and almost everyone regretted it.

Even if the He Guihun wanted to leave, it would be difficult.

The Nine Palaces Formation inherently involves changes in orientation, which is why he couldn't find the person's location—because the orientation was obscured and had become chaotic.

He can't break through!

Despite heading outwards, they found themselves further away from the road outside the altar, and a sword light appeared before them, sharp and incomparably fierce.

Unable to get out...

They changed direction and charged again, only to find a Tai Chi symbol in front of them. A voice filled with intense hatred echoed in the void, "He Guihun, you killed my junior brother, and you think you can just leave!"

"Die!"

Divine light shone from all directions.

He Guihun never imagined that after wreaking havoc for only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and killing eleven defenseless people, it would be his turn to suffer the same fate.

Having roamed the world for over a thousand years, the renowned Huiyang expert of the Witch God Sect died a humiliating death at the hands of a group of Cloud-Soaring cultivators, all because of an unbreakable demon array and a white-clad woman even more mysterious than him.

She might not be Huiyang... Huiyang of humans, the myriad forms of demons. This is a demon of equal rank to herself!

"Boom!"

As the smoke cleared, He Guihun, covered in blood, knelt on one knee and chuckled softly, "Who are you, the woman in white with the golden ring?"

"Did I tell you to spread the word about the Witch God Sect's revenge?" Qin Yi's voice rang out, followed by a swift strike with his staff. "You're dreaming!"

He Guihun blocked the Wolf Tooth Club with his staff, spitting out another mouthful of blood, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "I, He Guihun, have roamed the world, killing countless trash and playing with countless women. Dying at the hands of a demon of the same level has nothing to be resentful about. But you juniors who want to take my life shouldn't expect to do so without paying a price!"

A powerful demon of the same level? Many people were taken aback.

But no one had time to think. As He Guihun spoke, he slapped his heart with his palm and chanted a spell.

"Oh no!" Many people realized what was happening and exclaimed in unison, "He's going to fill the twelfth blood lamp himself!"

Within the Nine Palaces Array, Qin Yi leaped out, slamming the Blood Jade against the center of the altar with a vicious slam. "Go back!"
