197: A Trap Within a Trap-Why Were He Sect's Cultivators So Ferocious?

"Bang--"

A burly figure shot out and quickly knocked the Demon Beast controlled by Chen Dengming's Puppet Technique to the ground. Before the Demon Beast could roar, its neck snapped with a crack.

On the other side, the other Tiandao Sect cultivators also took action, none of them using Law Technique, relying solely on their Physical Body Cultivation to quickly end the lives of the Demon Beast, resolving the battle with minimal disturbance.

This also allowed Chen Dengming and other cultivators of the Longevity Sect to truly witness the terrifying Physical Body strength of Body Cultivation.

These strong calves were almost like demons, possessing extraordinary strength and astonishing explosive power.

"If I were to use the Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill, I could also reach that level, but to surpass it, I would have to use the power of Daoist script."

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, then suddenly froze.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that the strength of these Tiandao Sect Body Cultivation wasn't too strong, which made him slightly disappointed.

"Perhaps... Qiao Zhaoxian is stronger." Chen Dengming looked at Qiao Zhaoxian, who hadn't made a move.

At the same time, the other person looked over and gave him a friendly smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen's Puppet Technique are truly remarkable, saving us a lot of trouble. We've encountered far too many Demon Beast along the way."

Puppet Technique is a top-tier second-order Technique Method, and Chen Dengming has already mastered it.

This wasn't anything particularly remarkable; among the many False Core Great Cultivator present, there were quite a few who had mastered top-tier second-order Technique Method.

However, Chen Dengming is clearly the only one Puppet Technique. In addition, he has the highest affinity among those with High-grade Spiritual Root, so his casting speed and power are naturally much stronger.

"What we're encountering now are just minor troubles. We'd better speed up our progress by remaining stealthy, otherwise we risk being exposed at any time," Chen Dengming suggested.

"Not bad." Qiao Zhaoxian nodded solemnly.

With a wave of his hand, the group quickly put the Demon Beast's corpse into their Storage Bag, then distributed the tasks afterward.

"There are too many Demon Beast along the way, so we have to change our plans. We'll use magic to sneak in. Junior Brother Zhen, please work hard and use the Great Concealment Technique to hide our Law Power fluctuations."

"Alright!" said a cultivator from the Tiandao Sect whose hair was tied into small braids.

Everyone immediately cast spells, either invisibility, earth escape, or like Chen Dengming's wood escape, and quickly sneaked forward.

Zhen Changming of the Tiandao Sect used the Great Concealing Breath Technique to eliminate the fluctuations of Law Power for everyone along the way.

After traveling for a short while, they began to see traces of patrolling Devil Cultivator, and a majestic mountain peak stood ahead.

On the grassland below the mountain, a dozen or so Devil Cultivator camps were scattered in an orderly fashion, with the roars of Demon Beast and the long horns of horns echoing from the sidelines, and spirit boats hovering in the air.

Hundreds of elite Devil Cultivator from the Mochao Kingdom are stationed here, all awaiting the orders of the Molochara of the Mochao Kingdom.

In the Mochao Kingdom, "Molochara" means Prince.

If this decapitation operation can kill the most powerful Prince of the Mochao Kingdom in the Devil Cultivator camp, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the Mochao Kingdom and the Devil Cultivator camp, and will also greatly boost the morale of our own cultivators.

In addition, if the pure royal demon blood of the Molochara is brought back, it is said to be of great use in high-level battles involving those at the Golden Core stage and above.

Therefore, the pure royal demon blood of the Molochara also represents greater Sect Contribution and military achievements to the sect.

At this moment, the crowd gathered about a thousand feet away from the Mochao Kingdom's cultivators' camp, observing them in secret.

He Yingyu used a special observation-type Law Artifact to activate the Thousand-Mile Technique Method to observe.

Chi Yu then used his eavesdropping technique to listen in.

All the roads leading to that camp were blocked by patrolling Devil Cultivator, making it difficult to approach from any direction and only a surprise attack could be launched.

"At least four hundred people, but it's uncertain how many have reached the Foundation Establishment. The Molochara is probably inside the central Dharma House building."

He Yingyu observed and then said.

Chi Yu also shook his head, "The distance is too far, the eavesdropping won't be clear."

Qiao Zhaoxian solemnly and said, "Our intelligence comes from a high-ranking insider who is currently in the Devil Cultivator camp. Although we don't know who he is, the information he provides is certainly accurate."

This time, those in that camp are probably only the Molochara, whose strength is comparable to a fake Core Formation cultivator, and the Foundation Establishment demons of the Five-Headed Demon Kingdom.

It cannot be ruled out that there might still be demons at the pseudo-core level lurking around the Molochara for protection, but their numbers are definitely not large.

He paused here, then looked at the crowd.

"I propose we launch a surprise attack and forcefully decapitate them. I'll handle the Molochara. If the other Devil Cultivator try to stop us, you all should immediately provide cover. We must act quickly. Once we succeed, we must retreat immediately and not linger in battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.

However, given the strength of the Devil Cultivator' patrol in the distance, launching a direct surprise attack was indeed the only option available.

Continuing to infiltrate, trying to perfectly conceal the fluctuations of Law Power from detection, is simply impossible.

Even if the surprise attack is slightly slower, the enemy might immediately activate a protective Formation, making it very difficult for them to break through.

"Junior Brother Chen."

At this moment, Qiao Zhaoxian looked at Chen Dengming and asked, "How long can your Puppet Technique control Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Chen Dengming pondered for a moment and said, "If I can control one person, I can control them for a long time. If I can control multiple people, a few breaths will be enough."

"That's enough!" Qiao Zhaoxian smiled. "We'll need your help for the surprise attack later, Junior Brother Chen."

Chen Dengming nodded, "No problem!"

Qiao Zhaoxian immediately looked at the others and made arrangements for everything, making full use of everyone's strengths.

Chen Dengming had come to admire this man; he certainly had the demeanor of a leader and was incredibly capable.

The key is that he is meticulous, cautious, and decisive. There is nothing wrong with appointing him as the team leader. If it were someone else, they might not have such prestige and be able to command respect.

After the discussion was settled, everyone set off together, quickly approaching the Devil Cultivator' camp from the side.

At the same time.

Inside the Devil Cultivator camp, in the most spacious and enormous magic house building, a man dressed in a black robe with a mythical bird motif stood with his back to the others, his hands clasped behind his back, examining the War Zone map in front of him.

Behind him, to his left and right, six people stood silently to the side, seemingly afraid of disturbing his refined enjoyment, which only made his noble status stand out even more.

The man in the black bird-patterned robe was imposing and dignified, standing tall with his hands behind his back, exuding extraordinary heroic spirit.

His eyes held a strange, sinister Evil Qi. He abruptly withdrew his gaze, turned to the crowd, grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and smiled gently.

"Gentlemen, now that I, Rakshasa, have appeared here, it is estimated that it will not be long before a decapitation squad from the Eastern Region arrives to carry out a decapitation operation against me."

But with your assistance, I, Rakshasa, will surely make them suffer a crushing defeat, leaving not a single one alive, and greatly boosting our morale."

Hou Li's six men all had distinct appearances, yet all possessed a composed and imposing aura, clearly indicating that they were all exceptionally capable individuals.

One of the men, a tall and burly man, bowed deeply.

"Your Highness Rakshasa, we dare not question your arrangements, but your risking your life this time is already extremely dangerous. We have put aside other important matters to cooperate with your plan. It is fine for a short time, but if it is for a long time..."

"Oh?"

The Molochara looked at the fake Core Demon General Hu Xuan, then at the other five fake Core Demons who were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding his gaze. He knew that although he had gathered these people together, they also harbored doubts.

If his plan goes wrong, it will delay these people's other important tasks.

They abandoned their important duties in the War Zone to come and cooperate, mainly because they could not disobey the orders of the Mochao Kingdom, but it was not necessarily because they came willingly.

This is perfectly normal.

In the Devil Cultivator world of the Western Regions, strength reigns supreme, and the strong rule.

These six were all fake-core demons, usually unruly and arrogant. Now they had secretly come to protect him, but the ambush had not yet appeared, and they had no idea whether there were any enemies present. Naturally, they were dissatisfied.

However, he knew very well that this plan would most likely succeed, because he had roughly determined the identity of the traitor within the Devil Cultivator camp.

This plan is not only to thwart the Eastern Region cultivators who dare to come and behead them, but also to completely capture the traitor within.

Just then, shouts of battle and the sound of horns suddenly came from outside.

The Great Demon generals inside the magic room were all taken aback.

The Molochara Prince's eyes flashed, and a regretful yet satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What a pity. It seems my prediction was correct; that person does indeed have a problem."

He walked to the window of the Dharma House and looked out, and saw more than a dozen cultivators rushing towards him.

Despite being only twelve people, they gave off the momentum of a massive army charging forward, and none of the numerous Devil Cultivator along the way could withstand them.

"They actually deployed twelve fake cultivators to ambush me?"

The Molochara Prince was astonished.

The six Demon General stepped forward, their expressions solemn.

"I didn't expect Your Highness's plan to actually work. It seems that person really is the mole. But who exactly is that person? Can Your Highness reveal it now?"

"No rush, let's deal with the immediate crisis first."

"Twelve pseudo-core cultivators—even with our advantageous location and manpower, it's still extremely dangerous. This is probably beyond Your Highness's expectations. Please, Your Highness, evacuate immediately."

"No problem!" Prince Molochara smiled proudly and said confidently, "Since I am confident that I can annihilate the enemy who came to behead us, I have already made the arrangements. Senior Blazing Flame Blood Devil Demon is nearby, and now that he has heard the commotion, he must be on his way."

Suddenly, a loud "boom!"

A thick, black halberd came hurtling down, crashing down dozens of feet away from the Dharma House. Instantly, more than a dozen demons and Demon Beast were annihilated by the force of the halberd, the ground collapsed, and dirt flew everywhere!

"The Tiandao Square Halberd! Qiao Zhaoxian of the Tiandao Sect?"

The Molochara Prince felt a chill run down his spine.

His sharp eyes instantly locked onto a tall figure among the dozen or so figures rushing towards him, meeting his gaze from afar. In the next instant, he quickly locked onto another person.

Wherever this person went, with a wave of his hand, large numbers of Devil Cultivator would instantly stiffen, their necks outstretched, awaiting slaughter. Their lives would be swiftly harvested by others, like wheat being reaped in autumn. Even Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator could not escape the fate of being instantly controlled.

Even if demons roared and leaped from afar, forcibly closing in, this person only needed to point a finger, and a golden bead in the air would transform into a giant golden palm, easily crushing the demons into mincemeat.

"What sect does this cultivator belong to? How can he be so brave?"

While the Molochara Prince was still in shock, the remaining seven or eight Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator, along with a large number of demons, had already gathered in front of the Dharma House to form a protective barrier.

At the same time.

Chen Dengming and his men had also charged to the front of the execution ground.

With the twelve pseudo-core cultivators joining forces, even if the Devil Cultivator cultivators were strong, there was still a gap in their Strength Realm. They were unstoppable and had no equal in a single blow.

As the house came into view, dozens or even hundreds of Devil Cultivator roared and surrounded it in a pincer movement. Qiao Zhaoxian a low shout.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

"Good!"

Chen Dengming suddenly made a hand seal, spread his arms, and entered a state of extreme tranquility. The demonic claws that attacked from all directions seemed like illusions, but he paid no attention to them, as He Yingyu blocked them all.

The Puppet Technique was unleashed at full power.

Instantly, the Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy transformed into streams of strange power, enveloping and invading the dozens or even hundreds of Devil Cultivators in front of him, including seven or eight Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator.

A strong repulsive force suddenly emanated from these dozens or even hundreds of people, almost pushing away the Core Power he had poured in.

"Drink!"

Chen Dengming's eyes shone brightly, and his forehead, chest, and abdomen flashed with spiritual light, his white hair flying wildly.

Dozens, even hundreds, of Devil Cultivator froze in their tracks.

Such an astonishing scene left Yang Zidao and the others stunned and speechless.

This Puppet Technique is incredibly powerful!

"Kill!"

At the same time, the six members of the Tiandao Sect roared and shouted, and their fake pills burst open with brilliant light like small suns as they attacked together.

The six Tiandao Square Halberd unleashed a series of cold glints, generating powerful gusts of energy that swept across the battlefield. Wherever their sharpness reached, enemies fell one after another, forcefully blasting away the numerous demons before them.

They headed straight for the execution house.

This was a truly earth-shattering combined attack; even Golden Core Great Cultivator would have to retreat in fear.

How could dozens or even hundreds of Devil Cultivator possibly withstand such an attack? Instantly, dozens of Devil Cultivators were blasted away, their limbs severed, leaving behind a scene of carnage and bloodshed.

In that fleeting moment, Chen Dengming, whose mind was at peace, keenly sensed a strong threat emanating from the Dharma House.

Inside the Soul House, the Little Array Spirit also hurriedly offered a reminder.

"Careful!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Dengming shouted, and the Myriad Gold Pearl floating above his head fell down instantly, transforming into a canopy to block in front of him and He Yingyu.

Almost simultaneously, the magic house burst open, unleashing seven fierce attacks that had been brewing for a long time, like thunderbolts striking out unexpectedly.

Muffled groans came from the side.

Two of the attacks were clearly aimed directly at Chen Dengming, indicating that he was seen as a great threat.

Two loud clangs rang out, sparks flew, and Spiritual Qi rippled.

The canopy formed by the Myriad Gold Pearl suddenly twisted and concave inwards, twisting rapidly, before collapsing and tearing apart under the next onslaught.

A black spear, resembling an evil dragon, pierced through the Myriad Gold Pearl and fiercely attacked. The sharp, Sha Qi and Demon Power gathered on the spear seemed to form tangible ripples and waves of air, causing people to feel apprehensive.

"Junior Brother!" He Yingyu turned around with a change of expression.

Chen Dengming snorted coldly; this bit of Sha Qi was far from enough to shake his mind.

With a clang, the Divine Transformation Blade landed in his hand, its silver light flashing. He then unleashed a powerful slash, transforming the blade into a icy gleam, the resulting airflow as strong as a shockwave.

With a deep, muffled thunderous sound, the entire arena heard the Core Power of the spear being instantly swallowed up and destroyed by the silver light. The spear tip broke apart inch by inch, and the spear suddenly bounced back.

"Well!--"

A tall Demon General grunted, and the moment he retrieved his spear, his powerful body seemed to be electrocuted. He staggered back two steps, his face ashen and his eyes filled with horror.

"Demon General!"

"Six Demon General and Molochara!"

At this moment, several exclamations and howls were heard. The six members of the Tiandao Sect who were leading the spearhead quickly retreated. Two of them were caught off guard and injured. Qiao Zhaoxian looked grim as he covered his face and temporarily defended himself.

Yang Zidao, Chi Yu, and the others at the rear had their hearts pounding. Amidst the lingering fear and palpitations, their gazes toward Chen Dengming were filled with astonishment and gratitude.

Fortunately, the two fierce attacks that suddenly attacked were aimed at Chen Dengming.

If it were directed at any one of them, they would likely perish on the spot.

However, why did six Demon General, who were not part of the intelligence, appear in this place?

Was the intelligence flawed or leaked prematurely? Was there an ambush here, or was there a traitor among them?
