Chapter 260 A Long Pursuit Amidst Deceit and Treachery
The northern outer perimeter of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest.
After flying around this place for several days, Wang finally approached Youzhou, which was the territory of Huangquan Temple.
However, due to the power of the cultivators, the border blockade was not as perfect as imagined.
The border is vast, unless it's packed with people.
Otherwise, cultivators with numerous methods have plenty of ways to bypass the stationed personnel, and no matter how strong the hegemonic power is, it is impossible to cover an entire state with arrays.
Therefore, even if you only have the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, as long as you fly high enough, crossing the border illegally is never a difficult task.
The truly difficult border is the mountain range that separates the north and south.
The situation there is special, and it is inhabited by countless powerful demonic beasts. Deep within, there is also a demonic race with a well-established lineage, which is no less powerful than any human overlord.
The numerous battles between Taihu and Chiyuan were fought around the relatively weak point in the middle section of the North-South Boundary Mountain Range.
The interior is filled with countless restrictions, formations, and traps. There are too many pitfalls left by predecessors, and even the righteous and demonic sides themselves cannot figure out exactly how many traps there are.
And with each major battle, newcomers will continue to set up various traps and add to the chaos, making those areas increasingly dangerous.
all in all.
The borders between different factions are easy to cross, but the borders between the righteous and the demonic paths are very difficult to sneak across.
Wang Yu had tried it once, because the safe route that his predecessors had explored during the war between good and evil three hundred years ago was still relatively new.
Without multiple battles between good and evil, the traps inside wouldn't be updated, and even so, I still encountered quite a few bait traps.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Wang Yu felt that his "accidental" appearance in Youzhou was also a way to delay Jin Miaoshan's suspicions.
Several days have passed.
Thanks to his body's self-healing abilities and the restorative effects of various top-grade elixirs he had accumulated over the years, he had recovered to his prime.
This may explain the importance of a good body; it not only helps him reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the fundamental realm, but also gives him greater strength and survivability.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but think of Long Yiran. The other party was not weak and was able to survive a slap from the Blood Demon Ginseng, but unfortunately, she was too badly injured.
He was just a hair's breadth away from falling to the deadly venom of the horde of venomous beasts.
The importance of survival skills was elevated several notches in his mind.
"Hmm? Here we go again."
at this time.
This wasn't the first time he had encountered the true form of the Five Poisons Demon. Over the past few days, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, Wang Yu had been able to crush those of the same cultivation level in terms of speed.
In their eyes, it was nothing more than a tortoise running.
Therefore, after the Five Poisons Demon's clone was destroyed, it caught up in just one day. After a brief exchange with it, Wang Yu discovered that it was another clone.
He forcefully suppressed the idea of using the Taiyin Sha Corpse and the Thunder Corpse, knowing that this trump card had to be used at a crucial moment.
After using the Yellow Springs Great Handprint to defeat the slightly stronger Five Poisons clone, his injuries were mostly healed.
Then.
As if in a cycle of reincarnation, the Five Poisons Demon's clones attacked multiple times, but were all killed by him, showing that this was not some kind of external incarnation technique.
It is a kind of clone technique, which has a limited lifespan.
The Five Poisons Demon's main body was hanging behind him, constantly sending out clones to wear him down. It could be said that he hadn't rested for a single second. Wang Yu could understand the other party's thoughts.
Even a cornered beast will fight!
This is because they fear he might have some trump card to launch a last-ditch counterattack.
He was extremely cautious. In the simple mind of the Five Poisons Demon, no time to rest meant no time to heal his wounds.
Logically speaking, the injuries would worsen until they became irreversible, at which point his true form would reap the rewards of victory.
This strategy is not particularly clever; in fact, it's quite simplistic.
After all, Wang Yu wore the Earth Demon Mask from beginning to end, and his true cultivation level was never revealed.
Based on the strength of his divine sense and the power of his spells, it can be determined that he has reached the third rank. The Five Poisons Demon's caution is still very necessary.
It's a pity.
This tactic of torture was exactly what Wang Yu wanted.
He knew that even with the help of two early-stage Tier 3 zombies, it would be difficult to kill a seasoned veteran like the Five Poisons Demon, who possessed considerable combat power.
We must find a way to scare them all at once.
Only in this way can he escape safely. The transformation of the Immaculate Jade Toad into a cocoon will take at least another half month before it can wake up and erase the poisonous skull tracking mark.
This is the opportunity.
A moment later.
A cloud of black and green smoke, accompanied by a sinister laugh, rolled in, its sharp and unpleasant sound attempting to put even more pressure on Wang Yu.
However, when he saw Wang Yu, panting heavily and covered in dark green wounds, standing there leaning on a stick, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Boy... so you've finally decided to give up? Hand over the treasure, and I'll give you a quick death."
"Oh--
"Five Poisons, you old dog, you've been chasing me for so long, yet you're so cowardly that you only dare to use clone techniques. Aren't you afraid of the Yellow Springs Temple's retaliation?"
The Five Poisons clone hesitated for a moment, then shook its head after thinking it over.
"I do not believe you are from the Yellow Springs Temple."
Wang Yu reached out and wiped the "poisoned blood" from the corner of his mouth, and said seriously.
"I am a servant of Ksitigarbha Demon Lord. Bring your true form here and sign the Yellow Springs Contract with me. I will give you the treasure in exchange for sparing my life."
Then, Wang Yu actually took out a Yellow Spring Contract from his storage ring, a scene that made the Five Poisons Demon slightly waver.
Because the Yellow Springs Contract is unique to the Yellow Springs Temple and is the contract method they trust the most.
"Bring out the treasure, and I will make my decision after examining it."
Upon hearing this...
Wang Yu fell silent, as if he had been struggling with the decision for a long time, before finally taking out an ancient jade slip.
To be honest, he didn't really obtain any treasures, and even if he did, he had already digested them all, and he didn't have a medium to pass on his knowledge.
What he took out this time was the inheritance jade slip of the [Taiyin You Tong].
There are still two seals inside that haven't been broken. The third layer can only be unlocked by relying on magic power and the second-order pupil power of the Perfect Realm. Of all his collections, only this can be considered a treasure.
As expected, the other party questioned him.
"What do you mean by pulling out a jade slip? Do you think I need something like that?!"
Wang Yu seemed to laugh in anger.
"You old ugly ghost, what do you think that place is? It's the ruins of an ancient sect that was accidentally sealed into a spatial rift, forming a secret realm."
"This is a Nascent Soul inheritance, and it's my only gain. Believe it or not."
How could the Five Poisons Demon be willing to accept this? He suddenly roared in anger.
"I don't believe it! Precious medicine, magical treasures... you didn't get a single one?"
"I fucking said I didn't! Are you blind? Can't you see those four Blood Demon Medicine Kings? You went to the medicine garden to steal their stuff? You idiot!"
After being berated by Wang Yu, the Five Poisons Demon also came to his senses.
He paused for a moment before speaking.
"Throw the jade slip over here. I will verify it and then have my main body come over to sign the contract."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Come over here right now and sign the contract, or else... you'll be dead, but you can wait for the Ksitigarbha Demon Lord's revenge."
The Five Poisons Demon still wanted to argue.
"You were able to kill my clone, yet you still won't let me inspect you? Show some sincerity, kid."
Silence.
Wang Yu kept his eyes closed, showing no intention of responding.
"You're afraid to let me examine you? Are you hiding something?"
"Hello."
"Say something."
"I will wait for your true form for the duration of an incense stick. If you do not come, I will destroy the inheritance jade slip and do whatever you want."
After saying this, Wang Yu remained silent once again.
During this time, the Five Poisons Demon tried to say a lot of things, but when he found that the Five Poisons Demon was unmoved, he fell silent, as if he had given in.
As time went by, an incense stick burned out.
Just as Wang Yu was about to say something, a wisp of green smoke rose from the ground, transforming into the appearance of a second Five Poisons Demon.
"Boy, this is my true form. Hand over the Yellow Springs Contract."
Wang Yu frowned.
Was it really that easy to trick them? But the aura that was much stronger than that of the clones didn't seem fake.
Regardless, let's give it a try.
Bang—
In an instant, the half-deflated Starfall Cold Furnace leaped out from the ground, directly enveloping Wang Yu, while a pitch-black ball flew out from his hand.
The Thunder Tribulation Pill, a treasured possession of Master Tianshui, was once used in quantities of one hundred to kill multiple peak Core Formation stage assassins in one go!
One pill is a bit too little to kill the Five Poisons Demon, but it's not something you can easily withstand either. Based on previous experience, none of his clones have reached the Core Formation stage.
Sizzle sizzle~
As the Thunder Tribulation Pill shattered, terrifying lightning bolts shot out in all directions, instantly covering an area of a thousand meters in radius. The lightning was so dense that not even a fly was spared.
The first clone of the Five Poisons Demon vanished before it could even react.
The guy who claimed to be the real body also spat out black and green poisonous smoke, actively resisting the power of a large number of lightning tribulation pills, but he was still hit hard and had many lightning marks on his body.
"It's true!"
Wang Yu, who had been observing closely, immediately took out the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and activated it without hesitation.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky in less than a second.
The Five Poisons Demon, who was busy resisting the Thunder Tribulation Pill, was struck by a lightning pillar that fell from the sky. His body immediately turned into charred remains, and he stared at the pill furnace in disbelief.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
Inside the alchemy furnace, Wang Yu stepped out and threw a ball of Ice Dragon Pill Flame at the corpse of the Five Poisons from a distance, but there was no reaction.
Dead?
He felt it was unrealistic and immediately became alert and looked around.
"Hehe, good lad."
"They actually have a talisman in their hands. However, this aura doesn't resemble the thunderous magic of demonic cultivators; it's more like the methods from Taihu Lake."
They wasted two offensives in succession.
Just to lure out this guy's true form is a huge loss, but given the guy's personality, Wang Yu had no choice but to do it.
Even though his true form had been revealed, he still pretended to be weak.
Look at it with an expression of disbelief.
As expected, the Five Poisons Demon made a triumphant appearance, displaying his wisdom and cunning before feigning regret.
"This shapeshifting spider was hard-won by me. You'd better have treasures far exceeding its value, otherwise... you'll know what true suffering is!"
"--I have no idea!"
With a hiss, Wang Yu activated the Wind and Thunder Spirit Pattern without reservation. He took a shortcut and forcibly perfected the Thunder Pattern of this third-tier burst technique.
The speed generated by the physical body was so great that the Five Poisons Demon couldn't even see it.
