Upon hearing Li Gan's order, Liu Lingying's expression changed. She had stumbled upon this place by accident and encountered many malevolent spirits on the way. Although these malevolent spirits posed no threat to a fourth-level expert like herself, their sheer number made them a major problem to deal with.
Furthermore, this demonic array is filled with demonic energy. It is a paradise for demons but a hell for righteous people, not to mention the fact that demons are unaffected by malevolent spirits while righteous people are deeply troubled by them.
With such a shift in power, even if the righteous side outnumbers the demons, it doesn't necessarily mean they can stop the demons' attack.
Then let's break this formation first!
Liu Lingying's gaze hardened, and with a flick of her right hand forming a sword incantation, the silver flying sword in front of her suddenly moved, swiftly piercing towards the nearest stone pillar.
Li Gan watched her actions coldly, without stopping her.
The flying sword arrived in an instant, fiercely crashing into the stone pillar. Suddenly, a black barrier appeared on the stone pillar, firmly blocking the flying sword and preventing it from advancing even an inch.
Liu Lingying was filled with resentment. She pulled her right hand back and then pulled it forward again. The flying sword retreated a little following her sword technique, and then crashed into the stone pillar again.
The tip of the flying sword pressed against the barrier created by the stone pillar, indenting slightly. But that was all. No matter how Liu Lingying guided the sword forward with her sword incantation, even though her hands were trembling, the flying sword could not advance any further. In fact, as time went on, Liu Lingying felt the resistance in front of the flying sword increasing, and it began to show signs of rebounding.
The force of the rebound gradually increased, and Liu Lingying had no choice but to reluctantly retract her flying sword.
She did not give up, and with a slight retreat of her right hand, she was about to step forward again.
“It’s no use.” Li Gan said calmly, “As you know, this formation is an ancient demonic formation of my demon race. If the formation had not been activated, you might have been able to destroy one or two stone pillars, but the Wrathful Soul Demonic Formation is now complete. With your strength alone, you absolutely cannot break the formation.”
Liu Lingying withdrew her hand, which was about to swing out, and turned to stare at Li Gan. In addition to anger and hatred, there was also a deep sense of helplessness in her eyes, which was extremely complicated.
Through a thin layer of black mist, Li Gan silently looked at Liu Lingying. While feeling heartache, his eyes became deep and unfathomable, his expression inscrutable.
Li Gan stretched out his right arm, the Chi You Banner in his hand swaying gently in the wind. He looked steadily at Liu Lingying and said softly, "The root of our conflict is the struggle between good and evil, Ying'er. I cannot disobey my father's earnest expectations before his death, nor can I fail to shoulder the burden of the entire demon race. Wait for me. When I use the Chi You Banner to slaughter all the righteous dogs and lead the demon race to conquer the Central Plains, there will be no more righteous path in the world, and there will be no more distinction between good and evil between us. In this vast world, there will be no one who cannot accommodate our love!"
After Li Gan finished speaking, magical power began to gather from all parts of his body and rush towards his right arm, then flowed into the Chi You Banner, which instantly shone brightly with blood color.
Liu Lingying's expression changed. She realized that Li Gan must be trying to summon the demonic spirits from the Chi You Banner. If Li Gan succeeded, eighty-one demonic spirits equivalent to the Demon Lord realm would appear, and all the righteous disciples in the formation would be wiped out without any chance of survival!
Liu Lingying was instantly filled with despair. In her despair, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind about an idea that had quietly appeared in her heart.
Her voice trembled as she spoke, filled with resentment: "Li Gan, you still don't understand. You still want to harm the righteous path and poison the lives of the people! Then, then..."
She moved swiftly, lunging forward until she crashed into his arms, clinging tightly to him. Her voice, filled with a hysterical despair, screamed, "Let us die together today, buried with this demonic banner in this demonic array!!"
As she spoke, a bright blue light suddenly shone from her dantian, indicating that she was about to self-destruct her primordial spirit!
Li Gan's expression changed drastically, and the demonic energy flowing to Chi Youqi instantly stopped. His subconscious thought was to break free from her grasp, but the overwhelming warmth in his arms rendered him unable to move. How long had it been since he had held her? So long that he couldn't even remember the temperature of her body.
Over the years, all he could hold was that cold statue that resembled her.
