Chapter 8
=================
Ning Chen really suffered a stupid loss for nothing.
He was so angry that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he sneered coldly: "Yes, that's right, you still have to thank me."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
If it were really impossible to kill him, Xie Tingyun would have made him shut up forever.
When the truth was revealed, the mastermind finally showed up.
People who practice Taoism have excellent eyesight. Ning Shen raised his eyes and looked over. He recognized the faces of the group of people almost immediately.
They were the group of demons who knelt before Ning Chen to express their loyalty and allegiance in the Demon Realm not long ago!
Ning Chen snorted coldly.
Every failure makes one wiser. Ning Chen has finally experienced the treacherous intrigues in the Demon Realm.
Being surrounded by enemies on all sides, all the apparent peace could be fake. If given the opportunity, they will eventually become sharp blades that stab you.
The demons who had knelt in front of Ning Chen not long ago now looked down at the two people in the center of the formation and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really deserve to die for not informing you in advance of the plan to capture and kill the human saint. Your Majesty has such magical powers that he will definitely not be hurt by this small formation, am I right?"
"Your Majesty, it is our unshirkable duty to help you solve your most pressing problem. This is the first sign of our sincerity as a token of our submission."
Ning Chen understood the hidden meaning in their words, and also understood why these demons wanted to take action again at this time, wanting to use the same old trick again.
The logic behind these seemingly obedient words is that we are setting up a formation for you to kill Xie Tingyun. As the Demon Lord, you are naturally powerful and will not be harmed by this small formation.
In other words, if Ning Chen was injured by the formation and fell into the hands of his subordinates, he deserved it. It was because he was not strong enough and was not worthy of accepting the submission of everyone.
Ning's deep dark red eyes were fixed on the demon who was speaking. He had no impression of this face. Thanks to Agui, he only remembered the burly and dark demon when he was in the Demon Realm.
However, Ning Chen was a little surprised that Aqui was not among these demons.
But it doesn't matter, Ning Shen remembered their faces one by one.
Ning Chen released the hand that was holding Xie Tingyun's sword, stared at the demons in the distance, and smiled slowly: "Really?"
The quiet voice softened, and a faint light flickered in his dark eyes. The voice, which should have been gentle, sounded particularly eerie and creepy to the ears of the demons: "Okay. Then you must pray well... I will not get out of this formation."
All the demons present shuddered unconsciously.
The demons wanted to catch both of them in one fell swoop this time. According to Xie Tingyun's current condition, it is impossible for him to survive in the Bodhi Formation.
As for Demon Lord Tian Xiao, it would be best if they could kill him. If not, they can use the logic just now as a shield for themselves.
There are indeed unwritten rules in the Demon Realm. If the Lord of the Demon Realm dies at the hands of the demons below, he deserves to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
As the Lord of the Demon Realm, if he cannot even scare the demons under his command and can easily make them become rebellious, then it is better to give the position of Demon Lord to someone else.
Is Tianxiao strong?
Very strong, they admitted.
But bowing down in the face of absolute strength is not surrender.
Xie Tingyun pursed his lips and said nothing.
Because he was seriously injured, his external perception decreased uncontrollably. In addition, with Tian Xiao in front of him, Xie Tingyun had to use all his energy to deal with him. He only discovered this when he was already deeply trapped in the formation.
However, the current situation is obviously beyond his expectations.
It seems that there is some feud between Tianxiao and this group of demons, so much so that these demons even want to deal with Tianxiao together. They are really brave.
That's right, with the Demon Lord's weird temper and frequent madness, it's no wonder that others don't recognize him as the Demon Lord.
The Bodhi Array suddenly lit up, and an invisible array barrier rose up around the two of them. Ning Chen even raised his hand and knocked on it, and it was quite hard.
Demonic energy surged out from Ning Chen's palm. Ning Chen controlled the demonic energy and slammed it hard on the barrier of the formation, but it still couldn't shake it at all.
It seems to be used to lock up the people inside and prevent them from escaping.
Suddenly, dense black spots appeared in the sky above the Bodhi Formation. Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and in a flash he saw these black spots gradually grow bigger in front of his eyes and turn into arrows burning with devilish aura.
Xie Tingyun was in a very bad condition. Due to overuse of spiritual power and excessive blood loss, his vision began to blur. However, at this moment, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and his tense nerves never relaxed.
He exhaled, faced Ning Chen and the flying arrows, and raised the Chengfeng Sword.
This is a posture that is on guard against everyone.
The particularity of this world means that Xie Tingyun cannot easily die before completing the main mission, so Xie Tingyun dare not entrust his safety to anyone other than himself.
It stands to reason that the protagonists in this world will not die easily, and will be protected by some mysterious aura of the protagonists. However, Xie Tingyun has only heard of it and has never encountered it, so he doesn't dare to believe it. Moreover, he doesn't know what the "script" in his hand is like. What he will encounter, what he will gain, and what he will lose in the future, Xie Tingyun can only know it by going through it step by step.
The tip of the silver spear in Ning Chen's hand began to burn with devilish energy. He stared ahead and said, "When did you find out?"
Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes, wiped the blood that had flowed onto the Chengfeng Sword, and said calmly: "I said when I come again."
Tsk.
No wonder Xie Tingyun attacked him directly with the sword formation. It turned out that he discovered that he was "scheming something bad", so he just wanted to break up with him and take the initiative.
As he was speaking, the huge Bodhi formation had already enveloped the entire Merciless Ghost Plain.
In fact, Ning Chen didn't understand at first why these demons appeared in front of Ning Chen. After all, if they didn't kill him, when Ning Chen came out alive, they would all be fucking dead.
However, taking advantage of the gap when the evil arrow fell, Ning Chen quickly read the original plot again, and finally understood it.
The Bodhi Formation is an assassination formation specifically designed for encirclement and killing of enemies of higher levels. People in it face a constant stream of arrows, which are all transformed from the spiritual power or demonic energy of the person who casts the formation. After releasing a round, the Bodhi Formation will draw spiritual power from the people in the formation to maintain the attack launched by its own formation.
In other words, the formation needs to be maintained by the caster at the beginning. As long as the formation is successfully running, the next thing is to use one's own weapons to attack one's own shield.
Such a large range was probably because they were afraid that they would not fall into the trap, so they simply exaggerated the range of the trap, making them enter the formation from the beginning, and only waited to activate the formation when both sides were defeated.
No wonder it takes so many demons to inject their magic energy before it can be activated.
Thousands of arrows filled with demonic energy were fired at the same time, falling towards the two people who were forced to the edge of the cliff.
The arrows filled the sky densely, each of them was a tiny black dot that gradually enlarged before my eyes. There was no obstacle that could be blocked in this tiny space, and the space for dodging was also pitifully limited.
Xie Tingyun gathered his remaining spiritual energy into the Chengfeng Sword and watched Ning Shen's movements silently.
According to the crazy nature of the Demon Lord, it is very likely that he will block his retreat with the streak of arrows transformed from the demonic aura in the sky, and then kill him with one move.
However, he only saw Ning Chen casually turning the spear in his palm.
The black skirt was rustling in the wind. Ning Chen stepped forward and threw his spear into the air before the arrow fell.
At the same time, the Chengfeng Sword was unreasonably pressed down by the man.
Xie Tingyun's pupils shrank. He really didn't expect that man to reach out and touch his sword again. His tense nerves suddenly fluctuated, and the sword energy that was ready to go was released towards Ning Shen without a second thought.
Ning Chen was prepared, and waved his hand impatiently to disperse them, saying coldly: "If you don't want to die, then stay still."
The spear burning with a calm demonic aura suddenly lengthened and grew larger, almost exceeding the height of the two men. It began to spin while suspended in the air. The demonic aura burning on the spear was like an insurmountable barrier, easily swallowing up all the falling arrows and briefly creating a safety belt that isolated the two men.
Xie Tingyun was startled, and his usually calm expression finally showed a hint of surprise. After a long silence, he tilted his head slightly and glanced at Ning Chen.
His profile was tough and his jawline was tight. When his dark red eyes stared at someone, they were as sharp as a beast staring at its prey, making people want to look away.
Even if he wasn't staring at Xie Tingyun, he could almost feel the sharp edge and pressure.
The spear stretched across the two men, absorbing more and more stray arrows.
This formation will continuously transform the devil's energy into arrows that attack the two of them. Even if Ning Chen can block it temporarily, he cannot block it forever.
Just keep wasting time like this, even if Ning Chen is a great demon in the realm of Silence, there will be a day when he will run out of strength.
Xie Tingyun put down the Chengfeng Sword and was silent for a while. He wanted to say, "Master Demon, you really won't kill me when you have such a good opportunity."
It was obvious that if Ning Chen allowed him to be hit by the stray arrows transformed from the demonic energy, he would have almost no chance of survival.
However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back for some reason.
Ning Chen suddenly turned his head and looked over, sizing him up for a moment, then asked in a playful tone, "Are you wondering why I didn't kill you?"
Thank you for stopping.
Ning Chen turned his head, grasped the spear in mid-air, and while the first round of attack from the Bodhi Formation had not completely passed, he suddenly let out a low roar and poured all the demonic energy in his body into it in one breath.
Due to Tian Xiao's special talent for plundering, there is no doubt about the outcome of the others after encountering Ning Chen's evil aura. It is almost as if Ning Chen will be feasting on them and swallowing up all the falling arrows in the blink of an eye.
Without reaching the state of nirvana, it is impossible to imagine how much demonic energy is stored in the body of a person in that state.
Ning frowned and released the demonic aura suddenly. The huge Bodhi formation that almost covered the entire Merciless Ghost Plain was filled with surging demonic aura in less than half an incense stick of time. Looking inside from outside the formation, the figures of the two people inside were almost submerged in the demon's demonic aura.
The demons outside the formation were horrified: "What... does Tianxiao want to do?"
"He doesn't think he can use his magic energy to prop up the formation, does he? He's dreaming. The Bodhi formation was created for this purpose. The more magic energy he releases, the Bodhi formation will absorb it!"
The reason why the demons chose to use the same old trick again and risked their lives to surround and kill the resurrected Demon Lord again was naturally because they had a trump card.
Among them, there are at least five demons in the Yuanying period and two demons in the Kongming period. Such a force is a force that cannot be ignored in the Demon Realm.
"We just need to maintain the first round of Bodhi Formation attacks. After that... humph, no matter what he does, he won't be able to break through the Bodhi Formation."
In the chaos and darkness, the demons finally noticed the pair of dark red eyes that flashed with coldness and malice, and they shuddered almost in unison.
However, the next moment, all the demons who participated in maintaining the formation could no longer laugh.
They suddenly let out a scream and were horrified to find that the demonic energy that had flowed from their bodies into the Bodhi Formation had been completely devoured by the worms at some point in time.
Not only that, an extremely strange demonic aura just followed the formation patterns and the flow of their demonic aura and surged into their bodies in the opposite direction. In the blink of an eye, it strangled and devoured the little demonic aura left in their bodies, and then began to destroy and devour their meridians and flesh and blood with pleasure!
In the piercing pain, the demons heard the Demon Lord's malicious low voice falling into their ears: "Want to get away with it like this?"
The man in the gilded black robe smiled happily: "I'm dreaming."
