Chapter 185 The Demon Queen's True Appearance
Ning Daoran concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit, and he remained motionless inside the plant.
It is possible that the Aries Queen's words mean that she has really discovered him, or it is possible that she is just trying to trick him. It is still unknown.
After a cup of tea.
On the rattan chair, the Aries Queen lazily moved her slender, snow-white legs. Her crossed legs made her look even more charming. She swept her surroundings with her beautiful eyes and her breath smelled like orchid.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really not going to come out and meet me? I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Don't you worry that you will make me feel cold by acting like this?"
Sure enough, he was deceiving Ning Daoran.
She had no idea when Ning Daoran would come, or whether he had already arrived.
If this is the case, the Aries Demon King must be prepared.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and frantically practiced the Acalanatha secret to reduce his own aura to the lowest level.
At the same time, under the cover of the Acalanatha's magic, a trace of spiritual consciousness spread out silently, bypassing the Aries demon and exploring everything nearby.
Sure enough, in the dense woods and vines surrounding the palace, the Aries Demon Queen had set up a total of five bans. The magical power fluctuations of these bans were strong, so it was no problem to trap a Jindan stage cultivator for a short period of time.
"This vicious old witch is so sinister and cunning..."
He secretly complained in his heart that if he rushed out on impulse, he would most likely be suppressed by the five restrictions, and then under the spell of the Aries Demon King in the late Jindan stage, he would most likely die on the spot.
…
“Hmph~~~”
On the rattan chair, the Aries Demon Queen lazily reclined, her enchanting and charming body faintly visible under the gauze. She smiled tenderly and said, "How should I address you, Daoist friend? Should I call you Daoist friend Jianjia?"
Ning Daoran frowned.
Sure enough, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the area of the Five Saints Sect. Although she tried her best to conceal it, the Aries Demon Queen still got some wind of it and actually knew that she was the legendary Jianjia Sanren.
"Daoist friend Jianjia."
The Aries Demon Queen lay with her legs crossed. She picked up a grape with her pink arm and slowly put it between her lips. She smiled and said, "I heard that you went to the Shadow Wolf King's cave several decades ago and almost burned the wolf demon to death with the wood poison fire?"
She laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, her chest rising and falling constantly: "When I first heard about this, I almost laughed to death on the spot. Fellow Daoist is really interesting. He was able to play with the cunning Shadow Wolf King in the palm of his hand.
If such an interesting person were to stay and play with me, I don’t know how happy I would be~~~"
Ning Daoran frowned.
He turned a blind eye to the seductive behavior of the Aries Demon Queen. This kind of demon king had killed countless great cultivators with her beauty, and he didn't want to be the next one.
As for the nonsense like "even if you die under the peony flowers, you will still be romantic even if you become a ghost", there is no need to mention it. Most men who can say such things are losers.
“Swish—”
Suddenly, two first-class paper figures jumped out from the tree, one was an old man with a haggard face, and the other was a young woman with a lingering charm. They each used the Flame Sun Art and the Evergreen Art to attack the Aries Demon Queen.
"You can't hold it back?"
The Aries Demon Queen's charming smile disappeared, replaced by a fierce look. She spun around and floated up from the rattan chair. With her five fingers spread out, "Puff, puff" vines attacked the two Grade A paper figures like poisonous snakes! This demon was born with the wood attribute, and practiced wood attribute magic.
However, her magic is very different from the Changqing Jue. The Changqing Jue is more inclined towards health preservation, and can calm the mind after practicing. However, the wood-attributed magic law of the Aries Demon Queen is more inclined towards attack. The vines are like arrows, and the wood poison contained in them is definitely not a little bit.
"Witch! Try my tricks!"
In the air, the old man with a pale face took out a stick-shaped magical weapon and stabbed around in the air.
"Demon, please learn from my magical powers!"
The young woman flew into the air and held out a handkerchief.
These two paper figures possess more than 40% of Ning Daoran's strength, have profound magical powers, and combat power comparable to that of an early Golden Elixir cultivator. Naturally, they can fight against the Aries Demon Queen.
However, after a few rounds, the magic of both of them was completely suppressed.
Strands of vine arrows containing wood poison flew around, leaving wounds on the bodies of old man Cang Yan and the beautiful young woman. For a moment, their magic power began to dissipate.
In the distance, among the vines.
Ning Daoran waved his hand lightly, and sent out two more Grade A paper figures, plus dozens of Grade B paper figures, who attacked from all directions.
"snort!"
In the wind, the Aries Demon King's green skirt fluttered, revealing her snow-white legs. She raised her slender willow-leaf eyebrows slightly: "You have so many tricks, no wonder the Four Saints suffered a great loss!
However, if Daoist Fellow Jianjia really regards me as one of the Four Saints, then that is really too much of a disdain!"
As she spoke, she pinched her fingers together, and the wood-attributed demonic power burst out from her body!
Between heaven and earth, suddenly, sharp wooden stakes protruded from somewhere. Each of them contained extremely strong wood-attributed killing power. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen B-grade paper figures were turned into shattered pieces of paper under the impact of the wooden stakes.
“Oh shit…”
Ning Daoran frowned. After witnessing the Aries Demon Queen's innate magical power, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
The attack of the wooden stake reminded him of the Journey to the West arcade game he played as a child in his previous life. In the game, Longma's innate magical power of breaking through the wooden stake was extremely similar to the magical power of the Aries Queen.
However, the Aries Demon Queen's wooden stake is more flexible. Not only can it turn, but it also has extremely strong killing power! "Oh?"
Looking at the pieces of paper that were floating in the wind, the Aries Demon Queen couldn't help but narrow her eyes and said with a smile, "It's actually a paper figurine? I have been wandering around the martial arts world for nearly a thousand years, and I have seen quite a few substitute spells and Yin puppet paper figurines.
But I have never seen such a vivid and lifelike method as yours, even I can hardly see the clues. "
Ning Daoran had no intention of talking at all.
The Aries Demon Queen's words were nothing more than an attempt to find out the location of her true body. How could she succeed? So, one after another, paper figures were scattered. Ning Daoran remained motionless, and changed his position with the Wood Release Technique every few breaths to avoid being discovered by the other party.
For a moment, countless paper figures covered the sky and continued to consume the magic power of the Aries Demon Queen.
"Fellow Daoist Jianjia, are you stalling for time?"
The Aries Demon Queen raised her lips slightly and smiled very charmingly: "Don't you know, fellow Daoist, that this cave of mine is built on a fourth-order low-grade spiritual vein?
This spiritual vein has already been refined by me for the most part. As long as I stand here, I can draw endless mana. I'm afraid your plan will fail."
Ning Daoran's brows were tightly knitted.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He had indeed inquired about the news of Maple Valley before. This place was originally the territory of the Beast Taming Sect, which was known as the number one sect in Qingzhou hundreds of years ago and possessed a fourth-grade lower-grade spiritual vein.
Afterwards, the five demon kings went south and wiped out the Beast Taming Sect in one fell swoop. Naturally, this spiritual vein of inestimable value fell into the hands of the Aries Demon Queen.
However, Ning Daoran was not nervous. He delayed the time not to consume the Aries Demon Queen's magic power, but just to delay the Aries Demon Queen and distract her.
In this way, the more than 10,000 fire-eating ants underground can quietly devour the five powerful prohibitions buried underground by the opponent! The Aries Demon Queen is definitely not comparable to the other four demon kings. In order to kill this demon, Ning Daoran has done his best and will not make any mistakes.
…
Not long after.
Nearly half of the substitute paper figure has been consumed. What the Aries Demon Queen said is true. Her magic power still remains above 80%, and it has indeed not been affected too much.
At this moment, Ning Daoran's spiritual sense, which had been secretly spread underground, had captured that the roots of the five prohibitions had all been destroyed by the fire-eating ants. Although the imprints and fluctuations of mana were still maintained, the transit spiritual patterns had been eaten away and could no longer be activated.
A high-level formation master, plus a fire-eating ant ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Insects List, is indeed the nemesis of formations and prohibitions! "Fellow Daoist Jianjia, why don't you show up and see me?"
The Aries Demon Queen gently raised her hand and pulled the head and spine of a second-grade paper man out of his body. The bloody and bone-stained scene was truly horrifying.
When she threw away the head, those images disappeared along with the magic power and turned into a paper man torn in half.
"rustle……"
Ning Daoran, holding the Qinglong Spear, slowly walked out from a vine.
"Fellow Daoist, we are finally willing to meet."
The Aries Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Daoyou's appearance... is so handsome, I have practiced for thousands of years but I can't help but be moved~~~"
Until this moment, the Aries Demon Queen was still using the demon clan's charm techniques, wanting to kill Ning Daoran without bloodshed.
“Swish!”
Ning Daoran lightly tapped the storage bag, and immediately, formation flags and formation plates flew out, turning into lightning and flying in all directions. Several spells were cast into the air, and two formations were set up in an instant!
The Cang Hai Xuan Bing Formation + the Wu Xing Liu Li Formation, turned out to be a stacked formation! "Huh?"
The Aries Demon Queen raised her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist is actually a formation master. This is something I have never thought of. However, fellow Daoist, you don't think that you are the only one who has formation restrictions, right?"
As she spoke, the Aries Demon Queen also cast a few spells towards the ground.
However, there was silence underground and no response.
"How come?"
The Aries Demon Queen's calmness and composure disappeared in an instant. Her willow-shaped eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she looked at him fiercely: "You...you tampered with my restriction?"
"How dare you bring out a few third-level prohibitions to embarrass yourself?"
Ning Daoran activated the stacking array instantly and threw out a bunch of paper figures again. He said in a deep voice: "Aries, you have occupied Qingzhou for hundreds of years, destroyed so many sects in Qingzhou, and killed so many cultivators. It's time to return all of this to the human race!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The Aries Demon Queen had a fierce look on her face, and her azure wood-attributed magic power surged up from her body. With a wave of her hands, countless wooden stakes and poisonous vines came from all directions to strangle her. Her attack was extremely fierce! Ning Daoran used the Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art, and ignited a third-level inferior speed talisman in his hand. His speed increased instantly, and his body turned and dodged between the poisonous vines like a loach. If he couldn't avoid it, he would wave the Great Blue Dragon to disperse it.
At the same time, the Cang Hai Xuan Bing Formation and the Wu Xing Liu Li Formation were running wildly, and countless killing forces of the formations rushed towards the Aries Demon Queen.
"Jianjia Sanren!"
The pretty face of the Aries Demon Queen turned extremely ferocious. "I will refine your flesh into a human skin lantern, your bones into a magic weapon, your head into a lamp, and your soul into a wick. I will make you suffer day and night, and you will never be able to turn over!"
Ning Daoran couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
A woman's heart is the most vicious. Is this her true face? I was almost fooled by her before!
