In December of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, the palace of the central capital of Altino

“...... So, all along, one thing was really getting wrong. In fact, no matter whether it is a human or a demon who is in charge, if there is no indulgence of the mediocre emperor, how can there be traitors who mislead the country?"

It's simple and simple, but no one has figured it out. Since the Hibiscus Rebellion, Shi Chong, who has made great achievements in the bizarre world, has attracted the attention of all the powerful people, and everyone is watching him, puzzled by his mysterious origin, and thinking that there must be a problem, but when all the forces are vigilant at Shi Chong, no one will suspect an incompetent and bleak Emperor Altino, aware of the secret hidden inside.

The control of the situation slowly fell to the side of the demons. Dolgon was domineering and arrogant, it was impossible to obey people's orders, and he didn't bother to cooperate with Shi Chong, but Yinzhen Xu used the secret of the Heavenly Demon Gong to help him control his entire personality, so he cooperated with Shi Chong as an ally, and also taught Ming Lei Chun to teach her part of the martial arts.

Yinzhen's actions are not only aimed at the enemy, but also deal with the instability factors within the demon race. There are still many demon masters who are loyal to the previous Great Demon God King and refuse to be subordinate to him, such as Mei Lin and Long Beethoven, so Yinzhen sent troops to eliminate the rebels in the mountains, while also designing these unstable elements to fight with humans.

In the Honnoji Incident, Oda Nobunaga was a die-hard loyal to the previous demon king, and with the help of Dolgon's equipment, he succeeded in bringing the traitor to death along with his great enemy Kadar. After that, Huang Taiji's disciple Lancelot rose rapidly, which was certainly unexpected by the demons, but the strategy of plotting the Moon Sage and the disciple against the goal was successful, so far, the biggest barrier in the human world has been eradicated, and it does not consume a single soldier of the demon clan at all.

"But there is a strong enemy, something that did not exist during the Kyushu War, which makes our experience useless, and adds a lot of miscalculations. The process of fighting with the white character family this time is believed to be remembered by all demons, huh...... This is also my own mistake, obviously for the sake of the Bai family, I made my first move to return to the world, but I did not eradicate the root cause, so I have today's ending. ”

In the flat tone, there was a trace of unspeakable throbbing, others didn't understand why, only Nier instinctively knew by the induction between blood relatives that Yinzhen was because she recalled the first battle that returned to the human world, and her mood was agitated, and a very unreasonable stunned thought flashed in Nier's mind, although she felt impossible, she still called out.

“...... Kill...... Kill the people of Bai Wuji...... That's you!"

When the words were spoken, Izumi Sakura and Gengoro were both taken aback, and their first reaction was that they felt incredible, but Yinzhen's expression made them understand that what Nier said was the truth.

Nier's cleverness was quite unexpected, and it made him recall the brief battle at that time, the power of the Bai family's sixth art was really shocking, and the last blow he sent could only hit him hard, but it still saved his life, but he finally understood what the weird smile on his face meant the moment he fell to the ground.

Bai Wuji fell, and the blood induction between the brothers directly stimulated Bai Qi, causing this peerless genius to wake up from a coma. A faint, a wake up, a death, a life, maybe this is Bai Wuji's instantaneous reaction to the game, at the moment of falling to the ground, because he knew that his brother would take over the overall situation for him, so he smiled so reassuringly.

(These two brothers of the Bai family are really terrible...... ）

Yin Zhen looked at the sky, he could still see Bai Qi's masterpiece, it was indeed a ruthless revenge, a million times to recover his brother's blood debt, if he had known this, he should not have lowered his guard because he was seriously ill and dying, he should have gone to Alcatraz Island to dispose of him like Bai Wuji did.

(No, earlier, during the Reyns Civil War, it should have been settled in the white ...... ）

He actually had contact with Bai Qi very early, during the Reyns Civil War, he completely unsealed his own ability, Wuzhong Wuxiang did his best, and the limit of Tianxin consciousness broke through, and Bai Qi, who was invincible in the world for a while, once noticed that he was invisible in the middle of the capital, and sent a challenge message to this unknown enemy; 。

Later, Bai Qi woke up, it would have been easy for him to kill him, but in the end, it was a pity that a peerless master had fallen to such an end, and the fierce battle with the sixth art of the Bai family involved internal injuries in the past, so he did not take action against Bai Qi, anyway, he only had one more breath left than the dead, even if he didn't deal with it, he shouldn't do anything.

Underestimating the enemy's carelessness, he really had to pay the price, and the result was the tragic scene in front of him, and millions of demon compatriots became the last victims of the Yuan Shi Cannon. It took two thousand years to prepare, and with great effort and manpower, the demon clan's plan to invade the human world was severely broken at the moment when he took the first step!

If it were someone else, he might think that Bai Qi was very clever, just using the enemy's strategy and making a slight change of tricks at the last moment to get a beautiful victory, but Yinzhen could see Bai Qi's exhaustive wisdom, because Bai Qi knew the existence of Yinzhen, so he knew that he only had the only chance to make a move.

If he can't succeed once, or if the victory brought by success is not absolute enough, then Yinzhen, who is vigilant, will go to Alcatraz Island to kill him in person, regardless of all risks. Therefore, Bai Qi could only tremble, holding the only chip in his hand, cautiously waiting for the opportunity to bet, twisting every nerve to think, thinking about all the changes a thousand times and a thousand times, and then betting all his hopes on this opportunity.

The bitter wine of the loser is shared by all the demons, and Yinzhen, who must take on the responsibility of underestimating the enemy, should immediately rush to Xixi Kejia Island to kill this demon enemy, but Yinzhen is because he wants to officially appear to meet the enemy, and he lacks skills, and then the news of Bai Qi's death came, which made Yinzhen feel that he had been calculated again, and he couldn't even get a chance to take revenge.

(But...... Is there really such a coincidence? Would a person like Bai Qi die so easily? It is okay to underestimate the enemy once, but if he is deceived by the trick of deceiving death, he is incompetent. ）

Yin Zhen has decided that when this battle is over, he will go to Alcatraz Island to confirm Bai Qi's death, and there is no room for carelessness to deal with the Bai family.

“...... After saying what should be said, the secret has been buried in my heart for a long time, and it is better to say it, thank you for accompanying me to pass this boring waiting time, now...... It's time to take care of the little things. ”

Yin Zhen stood up, a yellow robe fluttered with the pace, the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the yellow robe before felt vulgar and godless, but after the demonic qi was added and dyed black, the black dragon with blood-red eyes exuded supreme majesty, just like its true master, slowly pressing the three people in front of him.

Of the three, in terms of pure strength, Niel's strength should have been the strongest. But in the past, she was able to burst out with amazing strength in every battle, but at this moment she was victimized by "instability", and she no longer saw her usual explosive power, and even worse, she was restrained by the innate restraint of the strength and weakness of the Heavenly Demon Skill, she was like encountering a natural enemy, trembling all over, barely even raising her head, trying her best to adjust her breathing, trying to control her body back and resist the urge to bend over and kneel.

Nelle's condition, Gengoro behind her saw it in her eyes, and secretly screamed that it was not good, but it was not surprising. Heavenly Demon Gong has such superiority and overwhelmingness over all demon clans, if not, it cannot be called the Emperor Demon Realm for thousands of years, if the Demon Realm martial artist wants to raise the banner of rebellion against the orthodox heir of Heavenly Demon Gong, he must cooperate with other exercises or joint attack formations, and first break this innate fear restraint, otherwise there is no room for battle at all.

At the moment, Niel can no longer be expected to exert her combat power, and the strongest Lancelot has been defeated by the strange attack, and only himself and Izumi Sakura are the only ones who can do it, but how to do it......

Due to the proximity of the distance, when Gengoro focused his attention on Izumi Sakura, he discovered a strange thing.

The three of them are shrouded in powerful demonic energy, and Nier, who cultivates the Heavenly Demon Skill, has no ability to resist it, and is directly invaded by the malicious demonic energy, and she has to use her skills to contend with it, but there is a wave of energy on Izumi Sakura's body, and the energy that does not belong to her own heavenly power is dissolving the demonic energy that invades her body bit by bit, making her affected by it the smallest of the three.

(That's right...... She has practiced the Canglong Mental Method and the Burning City Spear, the Dragon Clan was originally a rival to the Demon Clan's Mandate of Heaven Imperial History, and the attributes are-for-tat, and these demonic qi have stimulated her Destiny potential...... ）

What Gengoro discovered, Izumi Sakura was not very aware of, although the demonic energy constraints on her body gradually eased, but she was still shocked by the secrets that Yinzhen said, although she thought that she couldn't collapse without a fight, but no matter from which angle to find a flaw, the enemy was like an invincible demon god who could never be defeated, towering and towering, and no matter how hard she tried, it was in vain.

At the moment when her willpower was at its most vulnerable, her heart suddenly shook and she heard the message from Gengoro.

"Don't give up! The battle between humans and demons, from ancient times to the present, the demon race has always been so powerful, but we have not been exterminated until now, because we have never given up hope. ”

This pre-battle cheer calmed down Izumi Sakura, but shouting without any basis for victory was useless for a rational personality like Izumi Sakura.

"Did you notice what Yin Zhen said? We are just an appetizer for him to pass the waiting time, not a main meal, which means that he has another opponent who is enough to threaten him, this guy is not invincible in the world. According to the laws of nature that operate in the dark, there will be no truly invincible strongest person in this world, there must be some force that can counterbalance him, and he is coming this way!"

The reasonable analysis really made Izumi Sakura breathe a sigh of relief, and saw a glimmer of light in the darkness in front of her.

"I see, so what are we going to do? Delay tactics and wait for that force to appear?"

"No, the opponent is the Great Demon God King! If we fight with this kind of thought, we may not even be able to hold out for ten moves, and if we want to fight him, we must go all out, and we must not have the thought of procrastination in our minds. Even if all three of us are going to die here today, if we can make Yinzhen consume a few percent of his strength, then his natural enemies will arrive and deal a fatal blow to him, and then the people we care about will be safe, so to speak...... Do you understand?"

Izumi Sakura was not a cowardly and timid woman, although she acted rationally, but after listening to Gengoro's analysis, she was proud in her chest, and she was about to respond, when a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Hahaha, that's interesting. Humanity seems to have progressed much more than it did 2,000 years ago, and if humans had such courage and insight, I would have had a much higher opinion of the enemy...... But, my old friend, did you not intend to incite your comrades to sacrifice their lives to fight to the death, but did you keep it? If so, I would be very disappointed in you. ”

Tianxin consciousness monitored the audience, and Yin Zhen was able to listen to the heart-to-heart communication between Gengoro and Izumi Sakura, and grasp their intentions word for word.

"The people here have my destined enemies, my blood relatives, and my old acquaintances...... The three of them are all interesting people, under the locks of my demonic energy, some people are completely restrained, and some people rely on their own strength to counteract the blockade, hmm...... There are still people pretending to be restrained, maybe they want to try a surprise attack!"

As he spoke, the figure of the Great Demon God King flickered, and appeared on Gengoro's side like a ghost, and a straight fist slammed into his waist, the speed was extremely fast, and the strength was also strong and strong, and the heavy fist of the Heavenly Demon who was haunting the black qi was about to interrupt Gengoro's waist, but Gengoro, who should still be under the grip of the demonic qi, made a lightning move, cut down horizontally with both arms, and fought with the enemy without any tricks.

"Bump!"

In the sound of the fierce attack, Gengoro's entire body was knocked off the ground, but he didn't fly far, and after falling back a few steps, he immediately stabilized his body, his face flashed pale for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, obviously suffering a lot of losses.

However, compared to Gengoro, Yinzhen, who attacked, also showed a little consternation in his eyes; although he didn't do his best, the blow he sent seriously was completely blocked, as if a punch had entered a pile of cotton, and it seemed like he was hitting something extremely slippery and greasy, and that punch was powerless, and it didn't cause the slightest damage to the enemy.

"Okay! Ziwei Xuanjian is worthy of being Ziwei Xuanjian, except for Lu You's Heavenly Sword, only you can unload my Heavenly Demon Skill with a blow like this. ”

Yin Zhen laughed out loud again, in this burst of laughter, Nier and Quan Ying both felt that their bodies were suddenly light, the pressure and locks they were under disappeared, and they regained their mobility, the two of them didn't know why, but they immediately put on full guard and put on a fighting posture.

"I need to respond to your courage, there has been something that has made me uncomfortable lately, and perhaps I should give you a chance for it. ”

After the peerless sword fairy appeared in Japan and wielded that earth-shattering invincible sword, he knew that the human world was no longer his own exaltation, but an enemy that was enough to resist. For this reason, although I have also prepared, I still have some regrets, a little sadness, and even a little regret that I shouldn't have for not being able to really let go of the battle......

If it was 2,000 years ago, I would never have such superfluous wrong feelings, but now...... For the sake of the unhappiness in my heart, I really want to do some unnecessary actions to eliminate this feeling.

"Yes, I'll give you a fair chance! I won't use more power than the heavens and I won't defend myself until my real enemy arrives, so let's try to see if you can seize this opportunity and do your best to kill me!"

※※※

Ambush plotting, this kind of thing is not a stranger to Shi Chong, but since his martial arts achievements, this kind of work has been handed over to his subordinates to do, and it is rare for him to personally do this kind of plotting against others.

But this time the enemy to face is not trivial. In the previous Japanese strategy war, when a war broke out between Reins Tilren and the old Japanese forces, he accidentally brought out Li Yu, who had returned from overseas, and with an earth-shattering sword, he drove away Amakusa Shiro and re-slashed the eight big snakes under the sword.

Since lurking in the human realm, the only person who can make Yinzhen pay attention and take practical action to prepare for it, except for the two brothers of the Bai family, is the sword immortal Li Yu. In order to firmly control the variables that rule the human world, when Yinzhen noticed that Li Yu had become a variable, he immediately eradicated Bai Wuji, because there were already too many possible variables, and he couldn't let the variables increase to the third.

In fact, until now, Shi Chong didn't understand how Bai Wuji could make His Majesty Yinzhen drive the expedition in person, but Li Yu's trickiness was beyond doubt. When he broke into the central capital, let go of the killing, he had to hide his strength to protect his body with the power of the heavens, ready to feign injury, and retreat in defeat, who knew that he slashed with a sword, and the power that was beating between the earth boundary and the small heaven suddenly soared to the peak of the strong heavenly position, and as a result, he made himself fake and really did it, and fell to the ground with heavy injuries, if it were not for His Majesty Yinzhen to help him heal his injuries, he would not only be paralyzed for a period of time in the future, but really killed.

After that, he noticed Li Yu and regarded him as a time bomb that would explode sooner or later, and he must be dismantled as soon as possible, but due to Lu You and Zhou Gongjin's covert maintenance, several times he did harm in vain.

But also because of Li Yu's strength in Japan, His Majesty Yinzhen decided to deal with Li Yu as the number one enemy of the demon race. This is exactly the reason why Shi Chong admires the sovereign, because His Majesty Yinzhen has absolutely clear distinction between public and private, absolutely rational, if the enemy is just a personal grudge and a private enemy, he will deal with it in the way he likes;

Through Shi Chong's intelligence network, he learned that the war that broke out on the other continent was nearing the end, and he believed that when Reynes and everyone were in danger, Li Yu must have sensed, Yinzhen calculated the time of Li Yu's return, and it was very likely to stir up the situation at this juncture, so he assigned Shi Chong and others not to participate in the battle between Lancelot and Zhou Gongjin, but to ambush and deal with Li Yu.

(This is Li Yu's honor and Li Yu's misfortune, because because he has exposed his strength in Japan, His Majesty will not give him a fair chance at the decisive battle...... ）

Leading a group of demon troops, sweeping the Confucian students of the White Deer Cave under the mountain, lurking in the mountain behind the White Deer Cave, Shi Chong looked at the long staircase that towered into the sky, and confirmed that all kinds of ambushes arranged here were in place.

Shi Chong also heard a little about Li Yu's failure to break through the heart lock enchantment of the seven-fold gatehouse, vomited blood, and was finally defeated by Lu You and seriously injured, so he had to choose an ambush location to deal with Li Yu, and the place he chose was here, using the local enchantment, and adding many magic circles and magic equipment, as long as someone broke in, it would immediately trigger the vitality of heaven and earth, tear off the nine heavens of thunder and rage, plus various changes in wind, fire, thunder, and ice, and destroy the life forms that broke into the formation.

However, if Li Yu really has martial arts on a par with His Majesty Yinzhen, these arrangements will not be able to help him, but the decisive battle of the masters, the victory or defeat is only a slight difference, as long as Li Yu is consumed before the battle, it will be easy for His Majesty Yinzhen to kill him, which is why he has made all kinds of ambushes here.

"Lord Shi Chong, is it really useful for us to make these arrangements? What if Li Yu doesn't come from this road, but goes straight to the top of the mountain from the sky?"

"There's no way that's going to happen. This entire mountain is shrouded in huge spiritual pressure, guarded by multiple enchantments, and has been improved by countless generations of White Deer Cave Practitioners, it is the cumulative crystallization of tens of millions of years of Dao Techniques, plus our reinforcement arrangement, if he wants to use the power of the Heavenly Rank to break through, the entrance under the mountain is the best location. ”

For this point, Shi Chong can be said to be very confident, even if it is a heavenly martial artist, he still has the limit of his ability and the laws of physics, if it were not for this, Li Yu would have been able to go straight to the top of the mountain back then, and he would not have to be stupid to look at the bottom of the mountain, and he could not break through the restrictions of the enchantment.

In the time arranged by everyone, the heavy pressure gradually passed from the east, and it felt very far away, and the increase in the sense of oppression was not fast, but if it was converted into the actual distance, the other party was flying from the Sea of Japan through most of the Wind Continent, and it was beyond imagination of the extreme high speed!

Similar things have been done by Wang Wu in the past, but Li Yu's movement speed is undoubtedly faster than Wang Wu, piercing through the wind and clouds all the way, and shooting at high speed, showing a powerful force far above Wang Wu.

If it weren't for such a powerful force, it would never be possible to push people to such a speed, and if it weren't for such a powerful force, it would never be qualified to make His Majesty Yinzhen look at him differently. This was the common feeling of all the demons present, but because of such a high speed, it was impossible for Li Yu to hide his breath, and his whereabouts and location were completely exposed in the high-speed of flying with all his might.

When planning this ambush before, the demons prepared munitions, including some special heavy artillery from the demon world, and some powerful gods, which are now arranged on Li Yu's way to consume as much of his physical strength as possible, to pass through so many interferences, and to maintain such a high speed, it is impossible not to consume physical strength along the way, this is the tactics of the demons.

The dense clouds are like the tide of the sea, tumbling and rolling, and they are constantly rushing towards the mountains here, engulfing the peaks like angry waves; the wind and clouds are swinging, and the strong winds blowing quickly force people to not open their eyes, and gradually even feel difficult to breathe.

In the thick dark clouds, it seems to be revealing sunlight, exuding wisps of strange golden rays, cutting the dark clouds, penetrating from every crevice, illuminating the ground. One land after another, shining with golden light, seemed to be blessed by the gods, and it was so beautiful that it was like being in a dream, and the demons who had grown up in the dark world since they were born were shocked, staring at this scene of divine grace.

The wind that blew suddenly stopped, and the strong wind that whirred suddenly fell silent......

Shi Chong's heart suddenly flashed a warning signal, and he asked the clansmen who were using the instrument.

"How far is the goal?"

"Uh...... Yes...... The target is still 500 miles away...... Oh, there's only 300 miles left......"

The last sentence became veritable nonsense. Such an approach speed, Shi Chong knew that it was not good as soon as he heard it, and it was followed by a loud bang, and a powerful shock wave swept straight from the sky, like the thunder of the wrath of the gods, thrown above the demons without warning.

"Boom~~ Long!"

The shock wave swept in all directions, no one could stand firm, and after the violent heat wave hit with the shock wave, the bitter chill also swept down the mountain, and the originally hot air suddenly drifted snow, and some of the demons with slightly weaker skills even froze into ice.

Shi Chong reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see that the long mountain steps shrouded in a cloud of ice and snow mist were all covered by solid ice, becoming a glass world, and the seven gatehouses were only left with broken pillars, which were completely destroyed under the power of the sword just now.

"This ...... Such a sword qi ......"

Shi Chong was stunned and speechless, the only thing that was certain was that the heart-locked formation that had once trapped Li Yu and made him unable to advance or retreat had lost its suppressive power, and was easily cut by him with a sword and forcibly destroyed.

(With such ability, it is no wonder that His Majesty Yinzhen regards him as the ultimate opponent!)

Looking at the mountain peak from afar, the strong wind and strong light seemed to be concentrated there, indicating that Li Yu had arrived on the mountain, Shi Chong had this idea in his mind, but he also wondered if Li Yu, who had broken through the layers of the demon clan, could break the last ambush set by the demon clan.

In fact, the situation on the top of the mountain peak was similar to what Shi Chong expected, Li Yu, who had rushed back from overseas at full speed and crossed most of the Wind Continent, landed on the rock at the top of the mountain, looking at what was in front of him, his face was very ugly.

The thick fog that had obscured the building for many years had completely dissipated, revealing the smoky building, but the historic and elegant building had been severely damaged and turned into a ruin, apparently having just experienced a major battle.

At the scene of the fierce battle, there was no smell of blood, and there should be no casualties among them, which was a good thing, but Li Yu couldn't show a relieved expression.

Because, a hundred feet in front of him, on the broken stake of the ruined building, a devil flapping black bat wings, with an unconscious female body in his right arm, and a wooden wheelchair under it was shattered, and the mocking eyes of the black devil were far away from him.
