Things are far more complicated than imagined.
Song Tingwan lowered her gaze, watching as the demonic energy of the array gradually surged towards its core. She rummaged through a pile of treasures in her ring, then pretended to stumble and fall, dropping her Bodhi bracelet to the ground.
In the chaos, no one cared.
But monsters are not human.
It's not a skeleton either.
The malevolent aura and the demonic creature stopped above the Bodhi bracelet.
Song Tingwan covered her lips, appearing weak and innocent as she disappeared into the crowd.
"How could there be Buddhist artifacts here! Who is responsible?!"
The demonic energy, which had been merely a facade, suddenly surged fiercely. The demon finally transformed into human form, its demonic fingers reaching out to touch the Bodhi bracelet, but it was burned by the Buddha's light as soon as it got close.
The demon roared, twisted its eerie demonic energy, faced the crowd, and its demonic pressure slammed down on them.
Everyone's knees buckled, as if they were being weighed down by a mountain.
The Golden Core disciple barely managed to stand, while Song Siyao gritted his teeth, leaning against the ground, and withstood considerable pressure.
Song Tingwan squatted in the crowd, looking at her younger sister with concern.
The formation cannot be formed, but those present are all disciples with low strength, and if it drags on any longer, it will be too late.
She could only throw out the Bodhi seed, which the demon could not touch, in order to buy some time.
As for killing in anger, Song Tingwan observed for a long time and found that the demon seemed to be holding back something, and did not even injure anyone. At most, the demonic energy entered the body and controlled the person.
For a live sacrifice, the more offerings the better.
The monster didn't notice her little movement, but the skull at the center of the formation suddenly glared directly at the direction where Song Tingwan was hiding.
Song Tingwan, who was quietly observing, subtly hid even deeper into the crowd.
Song Siyao coldly curled her lips and flicked her sword tip straight at the skull.
What an ugly thing, daring to scare her older sister.
The demon was horrified, and its demonic energy spread out, enveloping Song Siyao who was flying towards it.
The demonic sound entered his ears, and Song Siyao clenched his fists to resist.
The arrogant monster suddenly went berserk, and a strange skull in the distance stared at them eerily.
A sense of dread swept over everyone.
Some disciples with lower cultivation levels panicked, but most disciples, after seeing the Bodhi bracelet, followed suit and pulled out anything that had even a hint of Buddhism, regardless of its quality.
For a moment, it really did deter the demonic energy, causing it to subside somewhat.
Skulls are things that demons protect. Song Siyao, who was previously toyed with by demonic energy, became energized and began to target skulls.
The demons could not be allowed to run rampant. One man and one demon, one attacking and one defending, created a dazzling display that made it difficult to discern their moves.
At the same time, the ghostly flames in the skull's eye sockets flickered, and then the demons rushed in from the outside, pouncing on the Bodhi bracelet one after another.
Eerie screams began to echo continuously from that moment on.
Song Tingwan pursed her lips. In the blink of an eye, a group of cannon fodder demons died, and the Buddha light of the Bodhi bracelet dimmed slightly.
The skeletons are controlling them.
"…you,"
"...Do you want to stop all of this...?"
A hoarse, sinister voice suddenly rang out, and Song Tingwan abruptly looked up, meeting the skull's eyes.
It remained motionless, the demonic flames formed from demonic energy flickering in its eye sockets, yet you knew it was watching you.
The woman's frail figure was particularly eye-catching. Everyone had just seen that she was the one who took out the drum, so they tacitly protected her at the innermost part.
She was so intimidated by the demon's power that she sat with her knees drawn up, shivering like a willow in the wind.
Seeing that she ignored him, the skeleton flickered with demonic fire, and several sharp demonic energies rushed towards the crowd.
"What's this!"
The crowd gasped and hurriedly dodged, no one noticing that the most vicious strike was aimed straight at Song Tingwan's neck.
Since it doesn't respond, then let it be just like that, only a head remains.
The skeleton laughed in her mind, its fierce demonic energy threatening to kill her.
The woman, who had her knees drawn up to her chest, faced the demonic energy head-on without flinching or dodging, and suddenly smiled.
"roll."
She uttered a single word, then her divine sense pressure ignored the deadly demonic energy and brutally crashed into the skeleton.
"Snap—"
The demonic energy that was attacking the crowd dissipated instantly, and the demons that were defending against Song Siyao seemed to sense something and turned around in disbelief.
With a crisp crack, the skull split open from its head.
The demonic fire in its eye sockets struggled flickering, then suddenly went out under the expectant gaze of the demon.
"...Demon Lord, Demon Lord—"
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to kill you all!"
The monster twisted wildly, taking a deep breath that caused countless smaller demons to merge into its body, swelling until it enveloped them all.
Song Tingwan listened to its sound of collapse and slowly raised her eyes.
What demon lord? He's nothing but a demon with lingering consciousness.
If it truly resurrects, she won't be able to deal with a demon at the Mahayana stage.
But there are no "ifs".
Something without any cultivation dares to call out in her mind.
It made her worry for nothing.
Now, a hint of sympathy flashed in her eyes as she looked at the monster.
The Human Sacrifice Array uses living people as sacrifices to revive the dead. If the person sacrificed has high cultivation or good physique, the sacrificed person can not only be revived, but also return to their peak cultivation level.
That's a really good idea.
But the first thing the skeleton would probably do after it came back to life was to eat the demon to fill its belly.
Therefore, loving and investing in yourself is far better than placing your hopes on others. Reject PUA and brainwashing.
Song Tingwan turned her gaze with a sigh. In the book, her younger sister broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and officially became a Golden Core cultivator.
I'm already at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm; I should be able to reach the intermediate stage soon.
She smiled expectantly as she watched Ayao bravely withstand the monster's attack.
The sword energy of Li Guang intertwined with the black energy, and the demon, who was a realm higher than Song Siyao, did not fare well.
