Chapter 336: Chapter 290: Eternal Life to Clean the Latrine_2
Li Cheng nodded indifferently, “You prepare to activate the Three Thousand Deadly Array, and later, kill as many as you can.”
So many from the Demon Race, those are all Demon Suppressing Points!
The Three Thousand Deadly Array that Kong Lianqing had refined into the Array Plate could be activated with a simple motion, which was far more convenient than Li Cheng’s, as setting up the Array from scratch would take two days’ Time.
Li Cheng silently pondered, deciding that in the future, he needed to personally prepare some Array Plates, and use Artifact Refining to craft various Formations, so that he could set up quickly whenever necessary.
“Are you sure you want to confront them? The Three-Star Demon-suppressing Envoys are all busy fleeing for their lives… Nevermind!” Kong Lianqing looked towards Li Cheng, wanting to say something, but then stopped and braced for the imminent battle.
She had a vague feeling that Li Cheng was confident in ensuring their safety.
Soon, those from the Demon Race chased to within a few miles.
Just as Kong Lianqing was about to activate the Three Thousand Deadly Array, the Three-Star Demon-suppressing Envoy being chased by the Demon Race also revealed herself.
She was a little girl that appeared to be no more than seven or eight years old, with delicate features resembling a beautifully carved doll.
“Wushuang…”
Li Cheng was taken aback—it was Wushuang!
“You know her?” Kong Lianqing asked with a strange look towards Li Cheng.
Li Cheng nodded, “Met her while shopping at the Kongqian Commerce Association, not familiar.”
Kong Lianqing maintained her usual cool demeanor and nodded slightly, “Then you need to be careful! Better to stay away from her.”
She didn’t specify what to be careful about, leaving Li Cheng feeling somewhat perplexed.
Wushuang appeared, glanced back at the Demon Race, and her hands moved quickly to form seals, “Heaven Assistance Seal!”
The Fourth Seal of the Nine Seals of Demon Purging, the Heaven Assistance Seal!
Once the Heaven Assistance Seal was cast, the earth and sky within a hundred miles seemed to turn into a prison, and as the prison shrank in an instant, the bodies of the several hundred Demons were crushed in succession!
In just a few breaths, the several hundred Demons had all fallen, with no chance for their Divine Souls to escape!
Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
If she could easily eliminate those Demons, then why lead them here?
“Long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Are you teaming up for Demon Suppressing?” Wushuang asked, appearing before the two.
Li Cheng clasped his hands in greeting, “Just happened to come across them, haven’t taken up the mission.”
Wushuang looked up at Kong Lianqing, then back at Li Cheng and shrugged, “Hope I’m not bothering you, but I’ve taken on a Four-Star promotion mission and need your help.”
Surprise flickered in Kong Lianqing’s eyes, but her voice remained cool, “You’ve broken through to the Divine Monarch Realm? A Divine Monarch is asking for our Heaven Gods’ help, did I hear that right?”
Wushuang held her head high and met Kong Lianqing’s gaze, paused for a few seconds, then cracked a smile, “Fair enough, then I’ll command you to join me as a Three-Star Demon-suppressing Envoy in slaying Demons.”
A senior Demon-suppressing Envoy has that authority.
The coldness in Kong Lianqing’s eyes grew a bit more intense, but she said no more.
The air was tinged with the smell of gunpowder, and as Li Cheng looked between the two women, he wondered if there was some past conflict between them.
Clearing his throat, Li Cheng asked, “Miss Wushuang, what is the promotion mission you accepted?”
Wushuang pointed in the direction she came from, “Over there, there’s a stronghold of Demons led by the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, whose power has been growing stronger. My mission is to slay the Withered Bone Demon Monarch.”
Having just killed a Divine King Bone incarnation of the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, were they about to confront his true self so soon?
Facing a True God, Li Cheng was unafraid, but against a Divine Monarch, perhaps he could only rely on the Blunt Empty Residence to keep his life safe.
“The Withered Bone Demon Monarch has stepped into the Divine Monarch Realm for many years and is also adept at poison arts. What do you want us to do? Be cannon fodder?” Kong Lianqing said with a hint of anger in her cool tone.
Wushuang waved her hand dismissively, “You, with your Complete Heaven God State, what qualifications do you have to be cannon fodder?”
That comment really spared no one any face.
“I bought a fourth-grade Formation from the commerce association. It requires three people to operate together. I’m looking for you to set up this Formation.” Wushuang said as she took out three Array Plates.
“Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array!” Li Cheng sensed for a moment and nodded slightly. If Master Li was in charge of the main Array, with the power of the Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array, he could face a late-stage Divine Monarch without fear.
Wushuang looked at Li Cheng, “Have you seen this Array Plate before? The commerce association told me that it was just recently refined. Liar!”
“Master Li’s Array Mastery is much stronger than yours,” Kong Lianqing spoke up, seemingly eager to use Li Cheng to put Wushuang in her place and humble her.
Seeing that the two were about to engage in another confrontation, Li Cheng quickly said, “If you take charge of the Array, this Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array can confront a late-stage Divine Monarch. What is the Cultivation of that Withered Bone Demon Monarch?”
“An early-stage Divine Monarch, it feels like he has reached the pinnacle and could breakthrough to the middle stage at any moment,” Wushuang recalled as she spoke.
Kong Lianqing’s chilly gaze didn’t hide her disdain, “I can easily slay Demon Race members of my own Realm.”
What she meant was clear, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch is of the same Realm as you, and yet you need to seek helpers!
Li Cheng did not dare to let them start arguing, and he quickly said, “The Withered Bone Demon Monarch is extremely adept at using poison. Although the Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array can suppress him, the poison cannot be ignored.”
Wushuang glanced at Kong Lianqing and then turned to Li Cheng. “That’s right, I brought several third-grade Divine Pills specifically for detoxification, but there’s no need to worry. I won’t give him the chance to use his poison.”
Fearing that the two women would engage in a confrontation, Li Cheng said, “Then let’s go, lest we give rise to further complications in the night.”
If they did not take action now, the two women might start arguing again.
Each took an Array Plate and followed Wushuang towards the deep parts of Savage Ridge.
Li Cheng quickly repaired the Hidden Spirit Array and activated it to envelop the three of them, completely blocking their aura, and they arrived safely at the front of a canyon.
Wushuang had already gotten familiar with the situation over the years. The Withered Bone Demon Monarch was in this canyon, leading a large Demon Race army and causing trouble from time to time.
Moreover, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch did not only have the one clone that Li Cheng had slain. There was another, its location unknown.
But a clone only used about ten or twenty percent of the Divine Soul power of the original body; as long as they killed the original body, the clones would not be a concern.
Therefore, the three of them planned not just to ignore this unknown clone but to directly target the main body.
Soon the three hid outside the canyon. Wushuang said, “According to my original plan, we would cover the entire canyon with the Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array, and then use the Array to annihilate the Demon Race inside.”
“But doing that would give the Withered Bone Demon Monarch plenty of chances to break the Array and use his poison. Now that we have your Hidden Spirit Array, we can sneak quietly into the canyon and activate the Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array from the inside.”
Once inside the canyon, they could lock onto the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s location. At that time, they wouldn’t need to cover a wide area with the Three Talents Extinguishing Demon Array and its power would be much stronger.
Li Cheng gazed intently at the canyon ahead and shook his head slightly, “There are many Arrays in the canyon. I’m not sure we can sneak in without alerting the Demon Race.”
With sentries every ten steps inside the canyon, to break through the Arrays without alerting the Demon Race guards, Li Cheng was not entirely confident.
Furthermore, there were many Arrays ahead, and Li Cheng dared not guarantee that breaking through each Array would not alert the Demon Race guards.
If they were alerted, all the demons in the entire canyon would immediately respond. Tens of thousands of demons, dozens in the True God Realm, and tens of thousands in the Heaven God realm—if it came to that, they would only be able to flee for their lives.
During his contemplation, he saw Wushuang’s lips curve into a smile, “I’ve been here many times over the years; the Withered Bone Demon Monarch must have let his guard down. In a moment, I will appear and draw the attention of these demons while you two sneak in.”
“Inside the canyon, there is a palace complex, and the Withered Bone Demon Monarch is within it. As long as you find the right spot to set up the Array, I will charge in, we will activate the Array to enclose the palace complex, and then it will be simple.”
Wushuang’s plan made both Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing shake their heads in disbelief. It was indeed simple and crude!
But before the two could say more, Wushuang had already flown to the entrance of the canyon and her formidable aura soared skyward!
Instantly, Arrays throughout the canyon activated and tens of thousands of demons sprang into action.
Li Cheng was helpless and took the chance to inspect the situation inside the canyon. From the entrance to the palace complex was only ten miles, but there were twenty-two Arrays set up!
Including the Heaven Prohibition Divine Array, one couldn’t fly into the canyon. They would have to pass through those twenty-two Arrays.
With so many Arrays guarding, how could they sneak in a short time?
Li Cheng shook his head. Kong Lianqing was right; it was best to keep a distance from Wushuang, otherwise, one might not know when she would end up leading one to their death.
“Now that it has come to this, we can only grit our teeth and go for it. Fortunately, these are all first-grade Divine Arrays, and they are all independent,” Li Cheng said.
Kong Lianqing nodded, “What can you do when faced with such a recklessly confrontational Demon-suppressing Envoy? It’s hard to break through those Arrays stealthily!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wushuang clenched her fist and threw a punch into the air with ferocious force.
As she made her move, a fist formed of condensed Divine Power shot out like a cannonball. With irresistible force, it obliterated the twenty-two Arrays in its path!
Both Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing were stunned. What happened to the quiet and unnoticed infiltration plan?
