Chapter 461 The Five-Year-Old Demon King

“I don’t know if King Pingbian will die under the heavenly punishment.” Zhang Chen looked at the descending purple heavenly punishment with a hint of expectation in his eyes. At this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded, and then a dragon energy rushed up into the sky and collided with the purple lightning. The purple dragon energy was rapidly consumed by the heavenly punishment. The dragon energy, which was originally ten thousand feet long, was reduced by five thousand feet by the heavenly punishment, and then the heavenly punishment disappeared. The dragon energy let out a wail and disappeared into the void.

"Dragon energy actually has this effect?" Zhang Chen was surprised when he saw it.

Golden light flowed in his eyes. He looked in the direction of Pingbian Palace and saw that the dragon energy above Pingbian Palace was now thinner by at least half. The dragon-shaped energy that was originally hovering above Pingbian Palace was now so illusory that it could hardly maintain its form. There were strands of blood-red silk threads entangled in the purple dragon energy, like maggots, trying to drill into the body of the dragon energy and constantly attacking the power of the dragon energy.

“Although King Pingbian used the dragon energy to block the heavenly punishment, he was still visited by the karma. The karma would attack the dragon energy, suppress its destiny, and erode the fortune of King Pingbian’s palace.” Zhang Chen observed the changes in the destiny of the north and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Then do I also have karma? But my karma is not enough to cause a reckoning?" Zhang Chen looked at the changes in the fortune of the Pingbian Palace and began to reflect on himself. Unfortunately, he could not see his own fortune.

"What a punishment from heaven!" Xie Lingyun looked at the purple lightning disappearing in the sky, his eyes full of horror.

Zhang Chen heard this and said solemnly: "You must know that cause and effect are real. In the future, you must follow the way of heaven and earth when doing things, and you must not go against the way of heaven."

Xie Lingyun remained silent after hearing this. She looked at the soldiers swept by the flood with her big, watery eyes, and then said to Zhang Chen, "I'm afraid you will be implicated this time."

"It has nothing to do with my sister. This is my own choice." Zhang Chen rejected Xie Lingyun's apology. He and King Pingbian have been fighting to the death. If he has the chance to severely injure King Pingbian, he will never show mercy.

"Besides, I am also following the will of heaven! King Pingbian caused chaos in the north, and I took action to destroy his three million troops. This was also a punishment from heaven to strike a blow to his luck. This is heaven's will!" Zhang Chen had some understanding in his heart at this time, but he didn't know whether his understanding was correct or not.

He flooded the three million troops of Prince Pingbian's Palace and severely damaged the fortune of Prince Pingbian's Palace. Logically speaking, this should have been in accordance with the will of heaven.

Let’s talk about King Pingbian. After being bombarded by the heavenly punishment, although the attack was blocked by the protective dragon energy, his spirit and energy still suffered the backlash. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and his body collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone rushed forward to support King Pingbian, and stuffed all kinds of elixirs into his mouth. King Pingbian finally recovered his breath and said with lingering fear: "What a horrible punishment from heaven. If it weren't for the dragon energy protecting my body, I would have died here today."

Gu Mingyue poured a glass of water for King Pingbian and said, "Your Highness, the luck of the North has been reduced by 50%. In the future, there will be constant natural and man-made disasters in the North. Our days will be difficult."

"The punishment from heaven has actually reduced the luck of my North?" King Pingbian looked grim. He was no rookie, how could he not know the role of luck?

But before he could come to his senses, a strange man turned into a giant bird, flew through the rain curtain and came close to him, kneeling on the ground and reporting: "Your Highness, it's bad! Someone used magic to block the flow of water and change the river course, drowning our three million troops who withdrew from the Great Wall of Bones. All our three million brothers are dead!"

Everyone in the arena gasped when these words were spoken. You have to know that King Pingbian's army does not exceed ten million in total, and one million had been lost in the fight for the Ascension Pool before, and now another three million had been lost due to the flood. Half of the army had been wiped out.

Upon hearing this, King Pingbian's eyes rolled back, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and fainted.

"Your Majesty!"

When everyone saw King Pingbian fainted, they tried to save him again and finally revived him. He cried out in pain, "It hurts so much! I lost three million elite soldiers!"

Those who can be sent to the Great Wall of Bones to resist the demon army are definitely the elite among the elite, trained in war.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. It's just an army of three million. When hundreds of millions of people in the north are in chaos, you can recruit as many troops as you want. It's just a matter of a decree. It's not difficult to train tens of millions of elite soldiers by utilizing hundreds of millions of people." Mr. Wuliu at the side hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Hearing what Mr. Wuliu said, King Pingbian's voice was filled with helplessness: "That was a weapon that had fought hundreds of battles. It was my backup to contain the demon race. Now that it has been destroyed by the flood, I'm afraid the demon race won't give me another chance to develop."

Soldiers who can fight against the demons are definitely the elite among the elite. It is extremely difficult to use ordinary people to train such soldiers. Not only do they need huge supplies to support them, but they also have to go through repeated battles to hone themselves. It will take decades to train such elite soldiers.

"Sir, the 50,000 troops of the Inspection Office are still there. I don't know how Xie Xuan avoided the flood disaster. If we can capture Xie Xuan and get the 50,000 elite troops of the Inspection Office, it is not impossible to make up for the loss." Gu Mingyue said on the side. "Yes! There are still 50,000 troops of the Inspection Office! Come on, quickly capture Xie Xuan, and keep Xie Xuan in the North at all costs. If he doesn't know what's good for him, just kill him!" King Pingbian showed a cold look in his eyes: "Master Mingyue, you should go and see this matter yourself. Xie Xuan has mastered the art of space distortion. Even if Zhao Lie takes action, I'm afraid he can't be captured."

Gu Mingyue bowed respectfully upon hearing this: "I, Huang Tiandao, have already made some arrangements. Your Majesty, just wait for my good news."

Procuratorial Office
Xie Xuan sat upright under the eaves, holding a strange rubbing brush in his hand, slowly polishing the dragon horn in his hand.

The dragon horn in Xie Xuan's hand was two meters long and looked very similar to Zhang Chen's dragon horn. The rubbing stick in his hand exuded a mysterious power and actually rubbed the hard dragon horn. With the continuous rubbing, the dragon horn gradually took shape of a stick.

Then the rubbing stick turned into a sticky liquid and seeped into the dragon horn. Then golden light flowed all over the dragon horn, and countless mysterious runes and golden threads appeared. The dragon horn also began to wriggle and correct itself, turning into a stick as thick as a bowl, which was held in Xie Xuan's hand.

"What a treasure!" Xie Xuan held the weapon in his hand, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "From today on, I am also a person who owns a magic weapon."

Just when he was feeling secretly proud of himself, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked into the distance. Then the next moment his figure flashed and disappeared in the yard.

Xie Xuan is a Yangshen Zhenren, and is most sensitive to the energy in the dark. He has already sensed that a terrifying energy has come from the void and directly locked onto him. The other party's malice is simply not concealed.

And the most important thing is that Xie Xuan's perception is constantly reminding him, telling him to run away quickly, because the person coming is definitely not someone he can contend with.

Xie Xuan transformed himself into an energy incarnation and tried to escape, but before he could leave the city, he was blocked by a figure.

There was an inexplicable force in the void, forcing Xie Xuan to fall from the energy state and transform into a physical state. He held a stick in his hand and looked through the rain curtain at the shadow in the heavy rain. Although he did not see the other person's face, he recognized the other person's origin just by the other person's breath. He couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart: "Not good! It's the Great Immortal Huli!"

The Great Immortal Tiger Power can also be called the Great King Tiger Power!

But when he took a closer look at the figure opposite, Xie Xuan was stunned again, his eyes full of disbelief, and he suspected that he had seen it wrong, because the shadow opposite was just a child of five or six years old, who was holding a toothpick made of dragon bones in his hand and picking his teeth slowly.

Xie Xuan looked at the child opposite him. He was cute with his chubby face, but the aura he exuded startled him: "Tenth level! When did the demon race have such a strong person?"

"No! The other party's aura is clearly that of the Great Immortal Hu Li!" Xie Xuan instantly denied his own thoughts again. He had seen the Great Immortal Hu Li and had already imprinted the other party's aura firmly in his bones, so he would never make a mistake.

"So the opponent is the Great Immortal Huli. In the original battle, he was severely damaged by the divine weapon and fell to a lower realm. Now he has resumed his cultivation and gradually recovered his cultivation. Moreover, the opponent's aura has become more settled and solid, and his foundation has become stronger! This old guy has turned a disaster into a blessing, and has actually built a stronger foundation."

The demon king Zhao Lie was severely injured by the Judgment, and he was actually asked to re-forge a stronger bloodline. This is definitely not good news for the human race.

Although Zhao Lie's cultivation level has been reduced and is currently only at the tenth level, his future potential is countless times stronger and he can travel a greater distance.

Zhao Lie was somewhat proud. Although he was severely injured at the beginning, he swallowed a piece of real dragon tendons and bones. That was a real dragon tendon that truly surpassed the twelfth level, which laid a supreme foundation for him. Later, when the fairyland opened up, he swallowed countless spiritual medicines. Then, when Zhang Shicheng died, he swallowed a piece of Zhang Shicheng's dragon body, and his strength finally recovered to the tenth level.

Although he is of level ten strength, his realm and vision are of level twelfth. His combat power cannot be compared with that of an ordinary level ten.

At this time, the two of them looked at each other, and Zhao Lie said with a smile: "Where are you going, human kid? I didn't even say hello to the ancestor when I saw him."

Xie Xuan smiled dryly and looked around: "How did the ancestor become like this? I almost didn't recognize him."

Zhao Lie smiled and pointed to the pavilion not far away: "Do you want to sit down and talk to me, or do you want me to beat you to sit down and then you can talk to me."

Xie Xuan sighed helplessly and could only take the initiative to walk into the pavilion, and saw Zhao Lie had also walked into the pavilion. Xie Xuan looked at Zhao Lie and saw that Zhao Lie had completely transformed into a human form, with only a pair of furry ears, and still showing the characteristics of a tiger. He looked very cute, making people want to pet him.
