Chapter 64 - Haha, You've All Been Surrounded!
On the battlefield, the rumbling of magic spells and the shrieks of the Hundred-Eyed Spider could both be heard.
The Hundred-Eyed Spider regretted its decision. The people in front of it had concealed their strength!
Disregarding the abnormally strong Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage cultivator, even the two cultivators who had a rank of Tenth Stage Dao Body were almost as strong as it was. What kind of position did this place the Evil Spirit King in?
A sharp black leg slashed toward Xuanyuan Cheng. However, with a backhanded slice of his sword, Xuanyuan Cheng severed this leg.
Venom shot toward Xu Xiaolan, yet this was swatted back by her Colossal Flaming Palm.
Just as it was retreating, its rear was ripped open by a golden fist…
“Hiss…” The wretched shriek of the Evil Spirit King spread far and wide.
Amidst a jungle that was one thousand feet away, a group of demon cultivators wearing black robes were waiting in ambush.
Seeing the Evil Spirit King get trampled on, they couldn’t help but feel shocked.
At the forefront of these demon cultivators, there were four Demon Kings who were emitting strong auras. They all looked at the Evil Spirit King sympathetically.
“Luckily, the Demon Emperor took this operation to capture Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators seriously enough and sent out more than half of the demon realm’s forces. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to deal with these few people.” The Demon King of Wickedness held a gigantic black sword in his hands as he spoke.
“In order to capture the Hundred-Eyed Spider, they must send out cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Stage,” the Demon King of Agony holding a bloody skull chuckled cruelly. “Even if they send three Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators, with the lineup that the Demon Emperor has sent out, dealing with them will not be an issue.”
“Wickedness and I will deal with the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators. We can’t tolerate failure in the sacrificial refining of the Blood Token,” said the Demon King of Wrath who had black claws for hands.
“I’ll deal with the cultivator who’s using the golden fists. I’ll definitely have my ‘revenge’,” the crimson-eyed Demon King of Wisdom said.
“We’ll strike once the Evil Spirit King dies!” the Demon King of Agony said.
…
Just as the Demon Kings were eyeing their prey, An Lin’s battle was already drawing to an end.
The Hundred-Eyed Spider had been driven into a corner, and its densely packed eyeballs suddenly spurted out.
“Be careful!” Xuanyuan Cheng yelled.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The eyeballs which flew toward Xuanyuan Cheng and the others suddenly blew up like bombs.
A violent energy started to emanate outwards, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were pushed back by the shockwaves of the explosion.
The Hundred-Eyed Spider’s desperate attack finally created a slim chance of survival for itself, and it immediately started to flee into the distance.
Unfortunately for it though, it neglected the fact that Xuanyuan Cheng was still there.
Rather than being blown back by the explosions, Xuanyuan Cheng kept pushing forward, a white light twisting and warping explosive energy away from himself.
Possessing a vast and awe-inspiring might, the sword in his hand cut down toward the weak point left exposed by the Hundred-Eyed Spider.
The bone-chilling sword projection stretched one hundred feet and instantly sliced the Hundred-Eyed Spider into two.
“Such impressive swordsmanship! The might of this strike is even above that of Taibai Sword Sect’s Green River Sword Immortal!” Huang Shanshan exclaimed in amazement.
“Even the sect leader of the Taibai Sword Sect can’t match the sword intent contained within this strike!” Tian Lingling exclaimed in astonishment.
Compared to the shocked duo who were doing absolutely nothing, Xuanyuan Cheng and the others didn’t relax a single bit. Instead, they gathered together quickly after sensing numerous strong auras inching closer and closer toward them.
Immediately afterward, four Demon Kings possessing powerful auras rode over on a black mist and surrounded the five of them.
On the ground, over twenty black-robed demons also charged out, surrounding An Lin and the others. Sensing their auras, it appeared that they were all cultivators of the Dao Body Stage.
“Kekeke… you’ve all been surrounded!” the Demon King of Agony chortled.
“Foolish humans… don’t resist and obediently hand over your hearts!” the Demon King of Wickedness said aggressively.
“If you obediently let us capture you, then I, the Demon King of Wrath, will give you a swift death!” the Demon King of Wrath yelled.
An Lin: “…”
An Lin felt mixed emotions as he heard this.
What’s with these ridiculous threats…
What bloody day and age are we in? As Demon Kings, how can you not feel embarrassed when spouting such corny, old lines?!
The Demon King of Wisdom looked at the two people below him. “Bahahaha, the two young cultivators down there, do you still remember me?” he said proudly.
An Lin and Tian Lingling looked up and saw the crimson-eyed Demon King of Wisdom.
Hah, it’s an old acquaintance!
“I said before that the next time we meet, I’d make you go through living hell,” the Demon King of Wisdom chuckled. “You’ve all been fooled by my flawless acting. You didn’t expect this to be a trap, did you? Ahahahaha…”
An Lin: “…”
Tian Lingling: “…”
To be honest, An Lin didn’t have the heart to damage the Demon King’s self-esteem.
Flawless acting?
Even Li Yifeng, who had won the Hundred Flowers Award, was better at acting than him!
With his acting, the most he could get was a Golden Raspberry Award.
Just when it looked like the Demon Kings had the upper hand, several strong auras suddenly approached them.
An Lin and the others looked calm and collected, but the Demon Kings started to feel worried.
“Wickedness, did the Demon Emperor send other Demon Kings here?” the Demon King of Wrath questioned in surprise.
“That’s impossible! The other two Demon Kings have separate missions. It can’t be them, the numbers don’t match either!” A grave expression appeared on the Demon King of Wickedness’ face.
“Human cultivators!” the Demon King of Agony cried in alarm as he saw the cultivators who had rushed over.
The Savior, Green River Sword Immortal, and Cloud Exploring Daoist let loose their powerful auras as they flew over on their swords.
On the ground, ten cultivators possessing a rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body also rushed over and quickly surrounded the twenty or so demon cultivators.
“Could it be that our plan was exposed?”
The Demon King of Wisdom couldn’t comprehend the sudden change of events, and he was momentarily stunned.
“Three cultivators of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage, one cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, and more than a dozen cultivators with the Tenth Stage Dao Body… This is a f*cking lineup sent to deal with a mere Evil Spirit King?!” The Demon King of Wrath finally lost his temper and roared aloud.
“I can’t believe there are so many Demon Kings. This trip was indeed worth it.” Clouds and mist swirled around Cloud Exploring Daoist as he spoke.
“Foolish Demon Kings! You’ve all been surrounded. Surrender quickly and I’ll let you all die a swift death!” The Savior chortled.
The Demon Kings were furious upon hearing this.
This bastard actually dared to steal their lines!
Meanwhile, An Lin almost passed out in shock. How come this fatso’s lines are also this ridiculous?
To the demons, this sudden change in situation made them feel a little uneasy.
Originally, they had been the ones surrounding An Lin and the others. Now, the situation was reversed, and they were the ones being surrounded.
“Wickedness, are we still going to fight?” the Demon King of Agony asked.
Although they were at a disadvantage now, the difference in their strength wasn’t all that significant.
If they went all out, there was still a chance that they could complete their mission.
“We’ll fight! We must complete the mission given to us by the Demon Emperor at all costs!
“If we retreat now, we definitely won’t be able to ambush them again.
“I’m just curious as to how our plan was exposed…”
As he said this, the Demon King of Wickedness’ face darkened.
Could it be… that there was a traitor among their group?
