Chapter 146
Ning Xu ignored the words.
She decided to catch the demon that attacked Si Yan first.
The two of them galloped all the way into the depths of the Valley of a Hundred Gu. The scenery around them kept changing. The originally sparse trees began to become lush and green. At first, the sunlight could still shine through the branches, but now, the sunlight was completely blocked, and the temperature around them seemed to have dropped a lot in an instant.
They could feel rustling sounds all around them, like snakes crawling or insects crawling on dead leaves. Ning Xu easily used his spiritual sense to explore and found that there were many poisonous insects nearby. Each of these poisonous insects may not cause much damage, but when combined, their toxicity cannot be underestimated.
Ning Xu and Si Yan had a clear goal. They tried their best to avoid these poisonous insects. Occasionally, when they encountered poisonous insects that they could not avoid, they tried to fight them quickly and never stay in one place for too long.
After half an hour, they stopped at the same time in tacit understanding.
The obsidian sword in Si Yan's hand was trembling, "We can't go any deeper."
Ning Xu hummed.
She looked around and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you show up?"
As Ning Xu finished speaking, the demon that had attacked Si Yan before appeared from behind a big tree.
He was wearing a large cloak that did not reveal his features, and his figure looked ordinary. It is an existence that will not be noticed if it disappears into the crowd.
After seeing them, the demon said without any emotion, "I didn't expect you to show up here so soon."
After that, he said with regret, "It's a pity that the poisonous insect couldn't take your lives."
Although the spiritual consciousness Gu was targeting Si Yan, once he rioted, it would inevitably affect Ning Xu who was beside him. So, although this demon only attacked Si Yan, what he wanted was the lives of both Ning Xu and Si Yan.
Although the demons felt regretful, they were not that regretful because they had anticipated various situations and had prepared backup plans early on.
"But... that's all."
After he finished speaking, a cold wind began to blow, and clusters of flames suddenly burned around Ning Xu and Si Yan. These flames had an ominous temperature, as if they appeared suddenly, with a hint of green in the red, and they did not look like ordinary flames.
The demon shouted, "Enjoy your last moments!"
Ning Xu carefully observed the flames without any haste and said, "The unique fire of the demon race, the endless demon fire?"
All kinds of knowledge flashed through her mind, and soon, some of the information matched the formation in front of her.
"Add to that the ancient seventh-grade killing array - strangulation." The demonic fire and the killing array are indeed a perfect match. Such a combination can be said to be extremely lethal.
After hearing her explain the demon tribe's arrangements one by one, the demon said in disbelief, "You even know about the strangulation array?"
Although this formation is only of the seventh grade, it has great lethality because it originates from ancient times. It is stronger than the general tenth-grade killing formation. A tenth-grade killing formation can even trap monks who are undergoing tribulation. As far as Ning Xu knew, this formation had been lost for thousands of years. He didn't expect that the people of the demon clan could still set it up.
It seems that the demon clan really wants to take her life.
Ning Xu asked politely, "Can I ask why you attacked me?" As far as she knew, she had been behaving herself in the past few years and didn't have any hatred towards the demon clan, right? But why did the demons suddenly attack her?
Demon clan:? ? ?
At this point, you're asking this?
Feeling offended!
Although her tone was polite and gentle, in this situation, the demons only felt fear. In the eyes of the demon clan, although she and Si Yan had high cultivation and many treasures on them, under the combined effect of the top-grade seventh-grade killing formation and the demon clan's strange fire, they had no ability to fight back.
After all, the endless demon fire is the treasure of the demon clan and the sacred fire. Under the holy fire, cultivators below the Mahayana level can only hold out for half a cup of tea at best.
She shouldn't be so calm, nor so indifferent. But she was too calm, as if she didn't care about the situation at all.
What is her confidence? Apart from the information currently known, does she have any other tricks up her sleeve that she hasn't revealed yet?
After hearing Ning Xu's question, the demon did not answer, and Ning Xu could only guess for himself.
She asked, "Is it because of the demon king's demon pill fragment?"
The demon remained silent, but the momentary fluctuation of his demonic energy was enough to tell Ning Xu the answer.
Ning Shu crossed her arms and continued to analyze, "The demons should all know that my natal spirit beast has swallowed more than one demon pill fragment, so you are here for the demon pill fragments." At the end, she even used a firm tone.
Because apart from the demon pill fragments, she didn't think she had anything that was worthy of the demon clan's special attention.
The second after Ning Xu finished speaking, an old white-haired demon suddenly appeared. She said in a cold tone, "According to your current level of cultivation, you can't withstand the burning of the endless demon fire for more than three seconds."
After that, she said to the demon in the cloak, "There's no need to say too much to a dying person, just do it directly."
Ning Xu has discovered that the villains in this world of cultivation are all ruthless and taciturn, and they will never say anything unnecessary.
The demon said, "Yes, Elder."
The next second after he finished speaking, the sacred fire of the demon clan suddenly jumped up. At first, if these small flames did not seem to pose any threat, then after they grew bigger, they instantly exuded a power that was enough to destroy the world.
The flames, with enough heat to burn everything, swept towards Ning Xu and Si Yan.
The two demons could already guess what would happen next.
No cultivator who has reached the state of incarnation or fusion can withstand the demon race's supreme holy fire, not even if this person possesses the map of mountains and rivers.
Maybe the old mountains and rivers map can do it.
But... the master's cultivation level is only at the God Transformation Stage, so the Mountain and River Map will definitely not work!
Just as the old demon was waiting with a confident look on her face to see Ning Xu and the others reduced to ashes, she unexpectedly discovered that Ning Xu was not dead, but had even subdued the demon clan's sacred fire!
The old demon looked at the demon fire that was staying obediently on Ning Xu's fingertips, and said in disbelief, "What's going on? How could this happen? No, this is impossible!" But what was happening around her told her clearly that what she thought was impossible had actually happened.
The strange fire that could have burned a divine cultivator within three seconds did not cause any harm to Ning Xu and Si Yan!
Ning Shu played with the small flame on her fingertips and smiled slightly, "Why not?"
The old demon's hand holding the cane trembled slightly, and her skin, as old as tree bark, was also trembling. She asked, "How did you do it?"
Ning Xu naturally would not answer the old demon's question.
This group of monsters thought that her trump card was the map of mountains and rivers, but they didn't know that her biggest trump card was actually the melon-eating system.
They attacked her without even knowing her cards, so the result was obvious.
Although the melon-eating system was temporarily offline, she had learned a lot during the previous binding period.
During the year when her Nascent Soul was ascending to become a god, she consciously learned various things about the world of cultivation, just to prevent the situation where the melon-eating system was offline.
After all, it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
Knowledge is most reliable only when it is in your own hands.
The reason why she knew about the seventh-grade killing array that had just appeared was because she had seen it in the ancient book given to her by the melon-eating system, and the method to crack it was also written there.
The monk’s memory was not bad to begin with, and after she was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, she could even remember everything she saw and read ten lines at a glance.
Because she and the melon-eating system always felt that after the peace agreement between the human and demon races expired, the demon race would sooner or later cause trouble, so for a while she was frantically catching up on knowledge about the demon race.
It turned out that her efforts were not in vain.
If she had not worked so hard before, she would not have been able to subdue the sacred fire of the demon clan so easily today.
As a human cultivator, it is almost impossible to subdue the holy fire of the demon race.
Ning Xu naturally did not truly subdue the Holy Fire.
The one who subdued the endless demonic fire was Brother Pig.
As the master of Brother Pig, she can naturally control the fire possessed by her natal spirit beast.
The old demon looked incredulous. She actually let a single person tame the demon clan's sacred fire!
If her clan members knew about this, she would be tortured to death!
Ever since seeing Ning Xu not only break the strangulation formation but also subdue the endless demonic fire, the old demon's mentality collapsed.
She murmured, "Fox Grass is right. The biggest threat to the demon race is obviously this female cultivator."
"I mistakenly thought that this male cultivator was the biggest threat to the demon race."
"I was wrong, I was indeed wrong..."
No one knew what he was thinking of. The old demon with gray hair, who looked like he had lived for who knows how many years, looked at Si Yan viciously and said, "He is so handsome, who would have thought he was a gigolo?!"
She poured out all the resentment and fear in her heart towards Si Yan.
If she had listened to Fox Grass and spent more time investigating Ning Xu, perhaps this incident would not have happened today.
But she thought Si Yan had higher cultivation and stronger talent, so she naturally assumed that he was the center of the duo.
Who could have thought that after they set up this trap, it was this female cultivator who easily resolved this dilemma?
And this male cultivator did nothing except watching from the side!
Obviously, he is just a foil!
Among the two of them, this female cultivator is the dominant one! She suffered a lot because of her prejudice!
The old demon became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She blurted out word by word, "You are in the Fusion Stage, but you are content to live off a gigolo! You are living off a female cultivator next to you. Don't you have any sense of shame? Are you willing to be a gigolo?"
"Is this soft rice so delicious? Do you have to eat it?"
In response to this old demon, Si Yan said "hmm" nonchalantly.
The old demon, and the cloaked demon who had been watching vigilantly on the side: ...
