Chapter 234: Demon King: Zhao Lie

Is there anything else that needs to be considered?
King Pingbian took out a seal from his bosom and handed it to Bai Cang beside him. Bai Cang took the seal and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise and made the most correct choice."

The next moment, the green gauze in Bai Cang's hand turned into smoke, wrapping the seal, and then he smiled gently at the distant void: "Please ask the demon king to show up and help!"

As his words fell, suddenly the sky in the distance darkened, a black hurricane rolled up, and an earth-shattering roar came from afar. The roar was like thunder, which directly shattered the huge hand formed by the rocks by the number one master of the palace.

A tiger's roar reached the sky and shook the underworld.

The tiger's roar seemed to contain a strange power that directly shook people's souls.

Even the soul of Yangshen Zhenren would be shaken into disorder by the tiger's roar, and it seemed that it could explode at any time.

"Oh no! It's the demon king Zhao Lie!" Xie Lingyun exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief: "How dare he cross the Great Wall of Bones without permission? Isn't he afraid of the mysterious punishment from the twelfth level of the Great Victory Dynasty?"

Zhang Chen looked from afar and saw a black wind blowing across the sky from the outside of the pass, making the sky dark as if night had fallen. It was really terrifying. At first glance, he knew that it was another existence that had entered the Yang God realm. The power that could change the world was definitely not something that an ordinary Yang God realm expert could have.

"Who is the Demon King Zhao Lie? Is he famous?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The demon king Zhao Lie attained the ninth level of the Dao a hundred years ago. He was the supreme warrior of the tiger clan. His flesh and blood were strong and he was born with the cohesion of blood. In addition, he was blessed with bloodline abilities. He was the nemesis of our human cultivators. Especially after he attained the ninth level of the Dao and mastered the power of heaven and earth, he swallowed up thirty-six tribes of the demon clan and changed the name of the great demon to: the demon king. He swallowed up the world and had the ambition to encompass the four seas and unify the demon clan. He is the great enemy of our human race." Xie Lingyun's voice was full of seriousness:

"If it weren't for the secret efforts of our human race over the years, Zhao Lie would have unified the demon race and led tens of millions of demon troops to cross the Great Wall of Bones."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen's pupils couldn't help but shrink. He finally realized how powerful the great demon king Zhao Lie was and how strong he was.

"I just don't know who is more powerful between Dugu Qiu and Zhao Lie." Zhang Chen asked curiously.

“Although Dugu Qiu has some skills, he is definitely not a match for Zhao Lie. Zhao Lie is a fierce tiger coming out of the mountains, and his body naturally has a suppressive force on the human race.” Xie Lingyun’s voice was full of seriousness: “I’m afraid things will be very troublesome!”

Sure enough, Zhao Lie turned into a black wind and soared into the air, fighting with the old eunuch Dugu Qiu in the air. For a moment, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and outsiders could not see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

Suddenly Dugu Qiu snorted coldly, his voice full of anger: "Zhao Lie, you dare to cross the Great Wall of Bones and come to my human territory to stir up trouble. Today I will let you see the mysterious power of my human race's twelfth level."

The next moment, the clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, and Zhao Lie and the old eunuch Dugu Qiu each occupied half of the sky. Zhao Lie turned into a big man with a tiger head and a human body. He stared at Dugu Qiu Yangshen opposite him cautiously, as if he had met a natural enemy. The old eunuch took out a scroll from his sleeve, and the scroll suddenly twisted and turned into a spear.

"Leave a trace!"

Zhao Lie looked at the spear transformed from the scroll, and an unprecedented seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"What is a rubbing trace?" Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at Xie Lingyun.

"That's because the twelfth-level mystery left its mark on the carrier, making the carrier have one-tenth of the power of the true mystery." Xie Lingyun explained.

“Did you see that spear? This is one of the twelfth-order mysteries of the Dasheng royal family: Judgment. Once this spear locks onto the enemy, it will automatically cross the void and attack. No matter where you go, no matter how you change, you will not be able to escape. There is no way to avoid it except to resist.” Xie Lingyun said.

"The Dasheng Dynasty possesses such a magical artifact. If they just make a few more copies, wouldn't they be invincible?" Zhang Chen said in amazement.

"You don't understand! The twelfth-level mystery cannot be mobilized easily. If you want to mobilize the twelfth-level mystery, you need to fill it with your life. Use the life of the monarch of the Dasheng Dynasty to fill it! The Dasheng Emperor is not a fool. Unless it comes to a moment of life and death, he will never mobilize the twelfth-level mystery easily." Xie Lingyun said.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He vaguely remembered that this world lacked mysterious substances, and all mysteries required human life to fill them. The life consumed by ordinary mysteries was an astronomical figure, let alone the twelfth-level mystery?
The consumption figures must be very huge, so huge that people cannot afford it.

"You want to kill me just for a mere rubbing and leaving a mark? You have no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is." Zhao Lie on the other side roared and twisted his body into a big tiger.

The giant tiger was at least thirty meters tall, with shiny, translucent fur all over its body, as if sparkling with the luster of jade. The black veins on its body seemed to come alive, turning into a cloud of smoke that enveloped its entire body.

"Please let fate decide!"

Dugu Qiu saluted respectfully towards the spear, and the next moment he saw the spear shot out and stabbed towards Zhao Lie.

"roar~"

Zhao Lie roared, and the sound waves created visible air waves, sweeping towards the spear. Mysterious runes flashed on the spear, and the sound waves were directly pierced by the spear. Then the spear arrived in front of Zhao Lie's tiger head in a breath and nailed Zhao Lie's head.

Seeing the spear coming towards him, Zhao Lie's eyes showed a hint of horror, but he was not panicked. Instead, at the critical moment, his body inexplicably moved a few points, and then the spear that should have pierced his head fell on his chest.

Although the chest was pierced, it was not fatal.

Zhao Lie is a fierce tiger, and a big tiger at that. His blood and energy are extremely powerful, and have formed "blood and energy like mercury". His body has already developed magical powers.

The spear pierced Zhao Lie, leaving a transparent wound on his body, and then turned into ashes and dissipated. Only golden blood was seen flowing from the wound on Zhao Lie's body.

"Such pure blood, I want to drink it!" Zhang Chen looked at the golden blood flowing out of Zhao Lie, and waves of impulses came from the crystal core in his heart.

"Zhaolie's blood is a great tonic for me." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Zhao Lie roaring in the distance, and the wounds on his body actually sprouted granulations, and healed in a breath. "How could this happen!" Dugu Qiu saw that Zhao Lie had avoided the fatal blow, and his face finally changed color. His face no longer had the previous calmness and confidence that he had mastered everything.

"Everyone will make progress, right? No one will stand still. Haven't I made any progress in the past few decades?" Zhao Lie smiled coldly at this time, looking at the old eunuch with a pair of eyes:
"Eat my punch!"

A punch caused the void to twist. This was the magical power of martial arts that was awakened after the body's qi and blood became strong enough.

Dugu Qiu grabbed the void with his palm, and countless lightning bolts appeared out of thin air and bombarded the Demon King Zhao Lie.

"It's just a small trick, nothing more than a show-off in front of an expert." Zhao Lie smiled coldly, and the energy burst out from his fist. The lightning in the sky was directly blown up, and then his punch was still as powerful as ever, and he smashed towards Dugu Qiu forcefully and domineeringly.

"Bang~"

That punch seemed to contain a unique power. Dugu Qiu's Yang Soul seemed to be fixed and he couldn't break free. Then the next moment, the fist landed on Dugu Qiu's Yang Soul and directly blew it up.

However, the exploded Yang Shen quickly reorganized in the distance and transformed into Dugu Qiu's original appearance. He looked at Zhao Lie with a pair of horrified eyes: "Impossible, how can you be so powerful?"

"I've said it before, no one can stay where they are. Sixty years ago, you used the twelfth-order mysterious rubbing to leave traces and severely injure me. Sixty years later, my flesh and blood have derived supernatural powers. I am no longer the same person I was back then." Zhao Lie's voice was full of pride.

Dugu Qiu's face darkened when he heard this, knowing that things were in big trouble. This Zhao Lie might have already reached the threshold of the tenth level and was about to break the limit and evolve his flesh and blood.

"Don't panic, sir. Xie Xuan is here and is willing to lend a helping hand to you." Suddenly, a divine light was flowing in the distance. It was Xie Xuan's Yang Shen that arrived.

"Commander Xie, you've come at the right time. Let's work together to refine this beast to death!" Dugu Qiu couldn't help but show joy when he saw Xie Xuan coming.

At this time, in the distant Mr. Wu's manor, a majestic aura suddenly rose to the sky: "My two lords, it is our duty to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits. If you want to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits, how can you do without me?"

The majestic energy surged around Mr. Wu's body. At this moment, his Yang Spirit came out and joined the battlefield.

"Hahaha, with these three Yang Gods here, this beast will definitely be killed without return." Dugu Qiu was overjoyed when he saw this.

"I never thought that such a small county like Gou Lan could gather three powerful Yang Gods. But so what? Do you think I don't have any help?" Zhao Lie laughed coldly. The next moment, a vast divine light shot up into the sky from afar. A figure whose traces were blurred by the divine light landed beside Zhao Lie.

"Great Demon King, we have to renegotiate the division of the tree coffin and the corpses of gods and demons." The voice of the person coming was so vague that it was impossible to distinguish its original voice.

"Do you have any helpers?" Dugu Qiu looked at the man who was surrounded by divine light, his eyes full of seriousness.

They could not tell the difference between the Dao of Incense and the real Yang God, but Zhang Chen, who mastered the Dharma Eye, could see that the person in front of him was a strong man created by the accumulation of incense and he was very familiar with this person, who was Gu Mingyue, one of the twelve great heavenly masters of Huang Tiandao.

"kill!"

What responded to Gu Mingyue was a loud roar. In an instant, the two sides started fighting together. Wind and fire swirled between heaven and earth, and thunder kept falling, completely blocking everyone's sight and making it impossible for them to see the situation of the fight in the arena.

"Thanks to the three powerful Yang Gods of our human race in the north, otherwise something big would have happened. But how come the twelfth-level mysterious of the Dasheng Dynasty had no reaction when the demon king Zhao Lie stepped over the Great Wall of Bones and entered the pass?" Xie Lingyun looked at the two fighting parties with a pair of eyes full of confusion.

Zhang Chen was also silent. He withdrew his eyes from the fight, and a serious look appeared in his eyes: "I didn't expect that there are so many strong people in the Yang God realm in the world."

“There are not many powerful Yangshen masters, they just come together by chance.” Xie Lingyun said.

"I just don't know what kind of background this newly appeared Yangshen strongman has." Xie Lingyun looked at Gu Mingyue's figure with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this, but ultimately did not speak, because no one would be convinced by empty words. Who would believe him if he said the other party was Gu Mingyue?
The most important thing is that Gu Mingyue is stronger than the last time they met, and she actually suppressed Xie Xuan.

"It seems that Huang Tiandao's incense has been spreading well recently." Zhang Chen said to himself.

In the distance, Zhang Chen saw a black wind, and flashes of fire and electricity intertwined. The sky and earth were dark, and the sand and rocks were flying. It was unclear what was going on. The people fought from day to night, and from night to morning. Just when the first ray of purple air rose in the east, the voice of the chief steward Dugu Qiu came from the storm: "Zhao Lie, you dare to step into the Great Wall of Bones without permission. I will make you pay the price today. This method was originally used to deal with the old dragon in the Pingbian Palace, but you didn't know how to live or die and took the initiative to run into it, so you can't blame me."

The next moment, there was a sound of thunder between heaven and earth, accompanied by screams, and then a black wind was seen blowing into the sky, causing the heaven and earth to sway constantly.

After a long while, when everything was calm, where were the Yangshen strongmen? Zhao Lie disappeared, and Dugu Qiu and others also disappeared.

King Pingbian quickly called on his soldiers to gather together and move forward, only to find that the tree coffin and the corpse of the god or demon were nowhere to be seen.

"What happened?" Zhang Chen looked at the empty sky in the distance with a confused look on his face. How come all the powerful people left so easily?
"The chief steward actually brought the mysterious body of the twelfth order of the Great Victory Dynasty: Judgment. He must have severely injured Zhao Lie with the body of Judgment, but I don't know if Zhao Lie is still alive. When the chief steward mobilized Judgment, he himself would be affected by the divine power and suffer severe damage. In order to prevent others from coveting the artifact, he could only choose to hide."

Xie Lingyun said thoughtfully: "This is a battle in which both sides suffer losses. Zhao Lie and the mysterious Yangshen strongman have suffered heavy losses, and the chief steward must have had a hard time too. This method was originally reserved for the soul of the old dragon king, but who knew that Zhao Lie would run into it without knowing whether to live or die."

"As for how this battle went? Who won and who lost? I still need to ask the chief of the Inspection Office."

Xie Lingyun showed a trace of anxiety:
"I'm leaving first. The Procuratorate must step in, otherwise the situation will become increasingly difficult to control. You better hide yourself and don't cause any trouble. I'm afraid the North will be in chaos."

After Xie Lingyun finished speaking, he hurried away, leaving Zhang Chen standing on the top of the mountain in a daze, his eyes full of emotion: "This scene is not ordinary, of course, the matter and trouble are not ordinary."
