The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Outside the Kun Peng Purple Mansion, the demon king in the formation launched an even more urgent attack, constantly sending his subjects to their deaths, while he himself took out various Law Treasure to forcefully attack the formation.
In this situation, it cannot be said that the Demon King was foolish enough to fall into the trap, because Cheng Cheng's perspective was completely different from that of the other two Demon Kings.
Everyone knows that the Purple Mansion only provides the conditions to help you break through, but no one has entered it for nearly 10,000 years. The situation inside is no longer clear. Maybe even if you go in, you can't break through. Maybe you die inside. Maybe it will take many, many years to come out... Of course, it is also possible that you can break through quickly once you go in.
These are all possible scenarios.
From Cheng Cheng's perspective, the initiative is already in her hands. Using this incident to make plans and completely eliminate future troubles is certainly more meaningful than blindly entering into cultivation.
However, the other two demon kings were terrified that she would enter their Purple Mansion.
If she dies inside, that's one thing. But once she truly breaks through to the Core Formation stage and achieves the Myriad Manifestations realm, she will sweep through the Demon City without any resistance. It doesn't matter if the White Kingdom's ley lines are taken away, or if the entire country is razed to the ground. It doesn't matter if it takes many years to emerge. Once she comes out, she will be invincible. It's meaningless for them to take the ley lines and slaughter the White Kingdom. They will die at her hands sooner or later!
Even if this is a trap, they have no choice but to enter it and use all their strength to break through the formation and stop Chenghuang!
Qin Yi was almost at his limit.
A vast number of monsters were driven in by the Demon King, one after another, and the Demon King took advantage of the chaos to break the formation. This pattern caused Qin Yi to expend a lot of energy.
This formation is truly amazing. It provides all-around protection against the Heart Guardian, effectively shielding him from both mental attacks and area-of-effect damage. Moreover, the formation doesn't require any manual intervention from the enemy; it triggers automatically, making any number of enemies a suicide mission.
The only ones we need to pay attention to are the Demon Kings; they have the power to break formations, and we need to adjust our strategy accordingly.
However, too many enemies can greatly affect concentration and make it impossible to observe them all.
He hasn't yet begun his spiritual cultivation, so it's impossible for him to accurately discern every prayer heard by a crowd like a true immortal. He simply cannot discern the situation and take appropriate action amidst the chaos.
To put it simply, the CPU isn't powerful enough... it's almost crashing.
Fortunately, Liusu was able to perfectly assess the situation and provide timely guidance, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago.
Previously, Liusu had been giving me guidance, but I was already quite confident in my abilities and could handle things accurately with just a few pointers. Now, I'm completely clueless, and I only do things after Liusu explains them clearly, which inevitably makes me a bit slow and has led me to several dangerous situations.
If this continues, we'll break through sooner or later. What should we do?
Taking advantage of a lull, Liusu hurriedly said, "You should give up immediately, use the formation to hold them off for a moment, and let Ye Ling take you away. We'll go to the Saint's Demise Desert, where my energy remains; we're not afraid of anyone."
Qin Yi remained silent. If they left now, wouldn't all their waiting have been for nothing?
He had been silently calculating the closing time of the Golden Gate; as an Innate Martial Artist, his grasp of time was quite clear. Half an hour was an hour; if he hadn't miscalculated in his haste, then there were only three minutes left!
Since you've agreed to defend the formation, you should at least hold out for these last three minutes, right?
Once Golden Gate is closed, I can leave without any shame.
I've done everything I could, and I owe nothing! Whether Chenghuang is Cheng Cheng or not, what does it have to do with him?
The Guo Xiao Two Kings, clearly knew that the Golden Gate was about to close, so they intensified their attack on the formation. The power of their magical weapons bombarding the Law Treasure even began to shake.
With a "poof," Qin Yi finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
This is because my mental energy has been severely depleted.
"Bang!" The Guo King's tiger claw slammed heavily onto a certain point of the great formation.
With a creak, the formation began to stagnate.
The formation is about to break!
The Xiao King took out a bell and shook it gently. Invisible ripples enveloped Qin Yi, who erected a Protective Barrier array in front of him to block them. However, this Protective Barrier, which had previously blocked them perfectly, began to shake.
I can't hold on any longer.
The Protective Barrier shattered quickly, and Qin Yi moved away, but upon closer inspection, blood was flowing from all seven orifices of his body.
There are only a dozen seconds left!
"Boom!" The Array Stone shattered. It was because the Guo King had finally broken the array while Qin Yi was Xiao King!
Ten seconds left, the formation has been broken!
Qin Yi spat out another mouthful of blood, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Ye Ling, come here!"
Ye Ling, who had been panting and causing trouble everywhere, quickly flew to his side.
The formation contracted rapidly, even distorting space itself, and all its power converged at a single point in front of them.
"Boom!" Wind, fire, ice, and thunder erupted simultaneously. In the distorted space, an energy explosion powerful enough to level a mountain was completely blocked by the Kun Peng Purple Mansion. The mountain peak remained unmoved, but the cave inside had become a crater of destruction.
The Demon King unleashed his most treasured Law Treasure to desperately resist this wave of mutually destructive damage. With a rumbling sound, the Golden Gate slowly closed right before the Demon King's eyes, and he could no longer enter.
The two demon kings were enraged!
Amidst the distorted chaos of space, a Soaring Serpent carrying a battered and bruised Qin Yi emerged from the smoke and dust.
"Still trying to escape!" A tiger's claw emerged from the cave, pulverizing the rocks blocking the entrance as easily as cutting tofu, and relentlessly clawed at Ye Ling. At the same time, the Xiao King transformed into his true form, and a four-winged, one-eyed bird chased after him.
Ye Ling suddenly accelerated, breaking free from the tiger claw's attack range, but when she turned her head, she saw that the Xiao King was getting closer and closer, with the Guo King following closely behind.
Without the formation, they were no match for two experts at the peak of the Core Formation stage. Their only hope lay in Ye Ling's recently enhanced speed, hoping for a chance to escape.
Ye Ling's speed talent is really high. If she abandons Qin Yi and runs away on her own, she might be able to escape. But if she takes Qin Yi with her, it will probably be very difficult.
Liusu sighed. This matter... there's not much to say about guarding the formation itself. If he ran away halfway, Qin Yi would be perfectly safe; the demon kings would naturally enter the cave abode and wouldn't chase him, since the Chenghuang inside would simply die. But if Qin Yi guarded until the very last moment, this would be the result: the two demon kings wouldn't be able to enter the cave, and in their rage, they would seek revenge, naturally pursuing him relentlessly.
So living a long life is actually quite easy, as long as you don't have too many principles, don't care whether the people who go into the cave live or die, and just run away first.
Just like Ye Ling at this moment, if she lost Qin Yi, she could still run away.
People often lose their kindness and their commitments, gradually losing their moral compass, through countless painful experiences.
As the world unfolds, we come to know, but the answers we receive are not necessarily the same for everyone, hence the different paths we take.
Ye Ling suddenly said, "Brother, why don't you throw away the Wolf Tooth Club? Maybe you can fly faster that way."
Qin Yi said directly, "I'd rather lose you than lose the Wolf Tooth Club."
Liusu:"..."
Qin Yi glanced at the pursuers behind him. "If it's not working out, just leave me behind and run away yourself."
Ye Ling shook her head. "I'd rather lose you than lose my brother."
Liusu almost laughed.
Oh well, you two fools... There's nothing wrong with being a little foolish.
Just then, a fierce wind arose from the sky, and terrifying Demon Power rapidly approached.
Everyone involved in the chase was stunned.
Cheng Cheng like a blur, quickly approaching and blocking the path of the two demon kings before everyone could react.
She was covered in blood, her chest heaving slightly. Despite the fact that the massacre had not taken much of her energy, she had almost exhausted all her magical Law Power on the journey.
Just when Qin Yi was in danger of being caught up at any moment, she finally made it back.
Ye Ling was still puzzled. "Master, why did you come back from outside?"
Qin Yi turned his head blankly and looked at Cheng Cheng's back.
At that moment, he understood everything.
But... what is she coming back for?
Cheng Cheng remained silent, quietly recovering her Law Power, while looking at her two nemesis in front of her.
In truth, she herself didn't know why she had returned. Returning in such a hurry, facing two demon kings of equal strength, she was unlikely to fare well and would probably be severely injured and forced to flee. The truly wise approach would have been to return quietly and launch a sneak attack while they abandoned the area and were fighting amongst themselves for control of the White Kingdom's ley lines.
That would have been a perfect game.
But she didn't even want to waste a single breath. She was too lazy to do something that allowed her to take away the treasures of two countries with a wave of her hand. She took the ley lines and immediately turned back, not knowing what she was in such a hurry for.
It's as if they're in a rush to ruin their perfectly crafted plan...
Didn't they say it didn't matter if he died?
What am I doing?! I'm such an idiot!
