Just Using Him?

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

Black fire dragons swept in from all sides, but the air was so cold that it made people stiff. A cold wind attacked the mind, causing the Divine Sense to begin to dissipate. A thin purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the air and invaded the internal organs.

The Xiao King spread his four wings and narrowly avoided the terrifying all-out attack. He raised his head, and a Soaring Serpent flashed past like lightning. He emitted a divine light from his single eye, and the Soaring Serpent disappeared. Then, a wild roar came from the opposite side, and the Guo King's tiger claw came through the light and clashed with his opponent.

They have entered the formation and are breaking through it.

The difficulty was greater than they had imagined. This was a classic Myriad Images Array the Demon Race, and each person would set it up differently. Overall, it combined the Five Elements Attack, Bewitching Ability, and Illusion Breaking Effect, while also suppressing speed. Your speed would be greatly slowed down if you were in the formation.

It can fly, but it is more vulnerable to attacks while flying, so it is better to land.

It is very suitable as a protective formation.

Formations, External Pill, weapon crafting, divination, and so on—these things seize the creation of heaven and earth, turning the impossible into the possible. They are the means by which humankind has, over thousands of years, comprehended the workings of heaven and earth and "skillfully" borrowed external forces.

The ancient sages of the Demon Race had always looked down on this, believing that the Demon Race valued their own strength. Their claws and teeth were divine weapons, their innate supernatural Divine Ability were Law Treasures, and their outstretched palms were arrays. They despised the opportunistic thinking of humans. However, after being beaten like dogs for so many years, the Demon Race had no choice but to begin learning human methods. Chenghuang was skilled in alchemy and artifact crafting, and Xiao King was extremely proficient in array formations.

But they discovered that Qin Yi at the center of the formation would change his tactics with almost every step he took, with countless variations and no discernible pattern, which was extremely disgusting.

The Xiao King dared to say that even if the one who set up the formation came to challenge it, he would be unable to offer any solutions in the face of such ever-changing tactics.

The only way is to force our way in.

With the combined strength of the two and the various Law Treasure they possessed, they broke through the barrier, killed the human and the Soaring Serpent, and the great formation collapsed on its own.

But this is too difficult.

This formation has the Bewitching Ability; he couldn't even be sure that what he and the Guo King saw was the same, just like when he saw the Soaring Serpent fly by, but in reality, it was the Guo King on the other side.

The two exchanged blows in a disheveled state, then retreated, only to be caught in a barrage of powerful Five Elements Attack, struggling to defend themselves.

Qin Yi is not having an easy time either.

The opponent was an expert in formations. The Xiao King was extremely skilled, and the Guo King was no novice either. In addition, they had already thoroughly understood all the changes in the formation beforehand.

Their approach to breaking through the formation wasn't a reckless charge; almost every step they took targeted the weakest point. Especially since both of them were peak Core Formation experts, their Divine Sense encompassed this area, making them extremely sensitive to the flow of Spiritual Qi within the formation. The moment I transformed a potentially fatal spot, they had already avoided it. Having been inside the formation for so long, I had never had a true opportunity for a direct confrontation.

The feeling right now is like playing chess.

Qin Yi's concentration and micro-management skills were exceptional. While the opponent's movements were so fast outside that they were invisible to the naked eye, they were restricted and slowed down inside the formation, allowing Qin Yi to keep up completely.

The Guo King summoned a bronze bell, which shone brightly with golden light. He withstood a barrage of attacks and was already in front of Qin Yi.

With a slight movement of his Law Power, Qin Yi caused the formation to change abruptly. When he reappeared, he was already far away from the Guo King, and the Guo King's attack was absorbed by the Xiao King.

Even if this type of formation involves changes in orientation and has no offensive power, as long as someone operates it, it can trap the enemy inside and kill them.

The two kings turned to look at Qin Yi, their expressions filled with astonishment.

This seemingly vast space is actually only a moment's travel for a martial artist. Even a Core Formation expert, whose speed is slowed by the formation, can still arrive in an instant, and could be attacked directly at any moment. Qin Yi appears calm and collected, but he cannot afford to be distracted for even a moment. In reality, he is dancing on the edge of a knife every moment, and the slightest mistake could mean certain death.

Nearly an incense stick's time had passed since they began their ascent, yet Qin Yi's responses remained consistently methodical. They couldn't believe that a mere child could possess such a profound understanding of formations; this was not something that could be achieved by rote memorization of variations, but rather by making the most correct decisions based on the actual circumstances at every step.

How did he do that?

No matter how it was done, it is definitely not easy for a human with low cultivation to do such a thing. He can't keep up with the mental exertion and the flow of Law Power!

That's right, this is where Qin Yi lie.

Her Law Power is alright; the jade Law Power from her new equipment nourishes it, so it should last for a long time. This is probably something Chenghuang had already planned well for...

However, the mental pressure was too great. The time it takes to burn an incense stick feels like working through several all-nighters. This is not something that can be easily solved; it requires perseverance.

The Xiao King's one eye suddenly darted around a few times, and he laughed like an owl, then whistled.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard a whooshing sound outside as thousands of monsters from the Xiao Kingdom rushed in.

The Guo King also realized this, and with a roar of a tiger, thousands more monsters from the Guo Country broke in.

Qin Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

Are these people here to die?

No, before, they came in to their deaths. But now, with a group of monsters swarming in, I might not be able to make any precise moves.

This is going to exhaust yourself!

His expression was calm as he whispered to Ye Ling, "Go and occupy the Kun Position, and release the Teng Snake Heavenly Fire into the Zhen Position. I will cooperate with you."

Ye Ling left without saying a word.

Qin Yi rapidly changed the formation, silently calculating in his mind. Chenghuang had said that the golden gate would open and close in half an hour. There was less than half an incense stick's time left before it closed; if only they could hold on...

That's not right!

Even if I manage to pull through, I can't escape, can I?

What's going on here? Are you just going to let them pile you up and kill you?

This is the back mountain of the White Kingdom's palace! Where are the rest of the White Kingdom? Where are Ying Li and the others?

Ying Li stood outside the palace gates, leading his troops in a standoff against the White Kingdom's own forces.

Hyena Prime Minister.

A jackal stood at the front of the group, smiling as he looked at Ying Li opposite him. He wasn't in a hurry to attack the gate, but simply chuckled, "Brother Ying, you have no chance. Our king has entered the Sacred Land, and he won't be out for at least three to five days. The two kings from Guo Country and Xiao Kingdom have already arrived. Even if they don't make it into the Sacred Land, when they come back here, will you still have a chance to survive?"

Ying Li said calmly, "This commander is quite curious. You, Hyena Prime Minister, are second only to the emperor in the White Kingdom. If the White Kingdom is destroyed, you will be nothing more than a traitorous official. What status will you gain then?"

"What good is status?" the jackal laughed. "What I truly desire are treasures, resources, and the power to plunder at will! We are demons, we refuse to live like incompetent humans! From the former king to this little wretch, governing the demon kingdom with human methods, even checking a person's special skills before eating them? It's utterly insane!"

"The purpose of studying human strengths is to contribute to the development and construction of our own country."

"So what have you developed? Exquisite architecture? Clothes? We're demons, when have we ever needed these things?"

"As the Hyena Prime Minister Prime Minister, does the jackal minister not know that the wealth of his own state surpasses that of the combined wealth of the states of Guo Country and Xiao Kingdom?"

"What's the use? Can you even hold it?" The jackal laughed loudly, "Monsters preach the law of the jungle, yet they learn from humans to talk about nurturing and sustaining their people. After all these years, haven't they still given it to others?"

"Without your shortsighted collusion with foreign enemies, the power of the White Kingdom would far surpass that of Guo Xiao in less than a century." Ying Li sighed. "It's just that he's untamed and can't stand this kind of control. Why bother with grand principles?"

The jackal stopped laughing and said coldly, "Can you really stand it? Don't spout any grand theories about development. It's clearly because the late king favored human women and deliberately elevated the status of humans. This little bitch clearly has half-human blood herself. What foresight do they have for their actions? They've simply adopted human thinking!"

The Ying Li silent.

The jackal continued, "So many demons have proposed marriage to the Queen, but she ignored them all, yet she's taken a fancy to a human man... Heh, she herself is only a half-demon. If she were to unite with a human, would the child be considered human or demon? Is this White Kingdom a kingdom of humans or a kingdom of demons!"

"That human..." Ying Li paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The King said it was just for his own purposes."

"You actually believe that?"

"I... believe you," Ying Li said slowly. "You'll find out soon enough."

The jackal paused, then his expression changed drastically as if he had just remembered something.
