I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 785 The Demon God Arrives
The way of heaven is vast and all living beings are like straw dogs.

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this, with a hint of compassion in his eyes. After all, he was a man with a conscience, not one of those beasts.

There are tens of millions of people in Jinling City. It would be too bloody and cruel if they were all killed by monsters.

If Zhang Chen was really so cold-blooded and ruthless, he would not have repeatedly ruined the plans of the Pingbian Palace in the north.

"People eat chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, isn't that the same as monsters eating people? This is the principle of cause and effect and the law of nature." Gu Mingyue spoke up and advised:

"Besides, I can swear that as long as I break the demon clan's formation, I can lead the people of Jinling City to settle in the Yangtze River. I can exert my twelfth-level cultivation in the Yangtze River area. By then, the demon clan will not be able to commit murder, and these tens of millions of people will be able to survive."

"If we abandon some people as bait now, we will have a chance to suppress the most powerful monsters of the demon clan and force them to open the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation, and we will have a chance to escape. If we don't set up bait, all the people will become ashes, and we will have no chance of escaping the killing of the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation." Gu Mingyue advised.

"I understand! Just follow the plan and I will naturally lend you a hand when the time comes." Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.

Gu Mingyue nodded upon hearing this, and her figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance, leaving Zhang Chen and Zhou Qiucheng standing there, staring at the evil spirit rising into the sky in silence.

"You...you..." Zhou Qiucheng wanted to open his mouth to accuse Zhang Chen, but after saying the word "you", he couldn't say anything else.

"Even if only some of the people can survive, it is better than the annihilation of the entire army. It may not be the wisest choice to be stubborn to the end and choose to perish together with the enemy." Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at Zhou Qiucheng:

"This is the great trend of Heaven. Sir, are you still unable to comprehend it?"

This Twelve Yuan Chen Formation is really powerful. Zhang Chen's life law is not good at conquest, otherwise if its extreme sublimation can tear the formation apart to open up a way of survival for all living beings, he will definitely take action. Unfortunately, even if he chooses to take action, he cannot tear the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation apart!
The power of the great formation borrows the power of heaven and earth, and is meant to be the weak defeating the strong. If this were not the case, why would anyone bother to study the great formation so hard?
“Is it the trend of heaven?” Zhou Qiucheng fell silent after hearing that. He was stunned and the literary energy around him surged even more violently.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and then someone shouted, "Oh no! The demon army has broken into the city!"

Zhang Chen looked and saw that the city wall defenses had been breached. The demon army rushed into Jinling City like a tide, running towards the streets and alleys, killing ordinary people.

The people were not to be outdone, and they fought desperately with the monsters with knives, guns, sticks and clubs in their hands.

For a while, both sides fought desperately. He saw an old man being thrown to the ground, a five-year-old child having his head bitten off, and a woman having her internal organs pulled out.

Some people fought desperately, while others knelt down and begged for mercy.

All sentient beings are diverse.

At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly had a new understanding of fate. When these people lived in Jinling, their fate was already determined the moment the demon army invaded.

Unless someone steps up to save the situation.

Looking at the crying young girl, Zhang Chen thought of his own little sister. While the girl was crying, her neck was bitten off by a tiger. However, before the tiger could devour the girl, a warrior took action and cut off the tiger's head with one knife.

The whole of Jinling was filled with brutal fighting, everyone was fighting in a group, and blood was constantly spilling.

Some beasts quickly gained luck after eating people, and even opened their minds and transformed into monsters. Some warriors killed monsters, ate their flesh and blood, and directly cultivated martial arts qi and blood.

Chaos makes the weak weaker and the strong stronger.

"What on earth is the Dasheng Dynasty doing!!!" Zhou Qiucheng had no intention of blaming Zhang Chen, but instead cursed at the Dasheng Dynasty.

Zhang Chen also wanted to know what the Dasheng Dynasty was doing. Even if the top masters were pinned down, they shouldn't sit idly by and watch the south and north of the Yangtze River being ravaged by the monsters, right?
Looking at the rampaging demon army, Zhang Chen couldn't bear it after all. He took a step forward and descended into Jinling City. Then he activated the beast-controlling technique and dragon energy circulated around his body.

Zhang Chen did not control the wild beasts or monsters to fight, he just influenced the opponents at the critical moment, and they were always killed by humans.

A monster was fighting with a warrior who had practiced Qi and blood. When the two sides were fighting, the tiger monster gained the upper hand and suppressed the human warrior. In just a moment, the human warrior was completely suppressed and was in danger, without any power to resist. The tiger monster was about to bite the human warrior to death, but its movement was inexplicably half a beat slower, and then the long knife in the warrior's hand stabbed into its throat.

"You beast, even if I die, I will bite off a piece of your flesh!" The warrior drew out his long sword, and lay on the tiger's wound, swallowing the tiger's blood. The tiger's eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness. He was going to win, and he could eat the blood in front of him to go further, but who knew that at this critical moment, he inexplicably lost control of his body?

It died in a miserable way!
Not only it, many monsters died miserably and inexplicably.

As for those ordinary wild beasts, humans holding weapons are no worse than ordinary wild beasts, and can even have the upper hand under the same conditions.

Zhang Chen walked in Jinling City, silently adjusting the situation. If a monster gained an overwhelming advantage in a certain area, Zhang Chen would instantly take action, pin it down, and kill it inexplicably.

He tried his best to balance the situation between humans and monsters, allowing humans to have a slight advantage. He did not dare to take too much action, lest those monster gods notice something.

"Hehehe, hunting time~"

Suddenly, a wild laugh was heard from afar, and the Great Sage Bear walked in from outside the formation, leading dozens of great monsters and rushing towards the Blood Sea Formation: "Everyone, follow me and attack with all your strength. If we remove the Blood Sea Formation, we can disintegrate the last defense of the human race!"

Great Sage Xiong wanted to attack from both inside and outside, and cooperate with the Twelve Yuanchen Formation outside to break the Blood Sea Formation.

"Don't even think about it, you evil creature!" Upon seeing this, Gu Mingyue took action and rushed towards the Great Sage Xiong.

"I have seen this Great Sage Xiong before. When he was in the body of a Basque snake, everyone divided up the snake's flesh and blood. This fellow was only an eighth-rank strongman, but now he has entered the tenth-rank realm in just a few short years. It's obvious that he has eaten a lot of people." Zhang Chen stood in Jinling City and watched the battle between Gu Mingyue and Great Sage Xiong in the distance. He recognized the origin of Great Sage Xiong at a glance.

Although Great Sage Xiong is only at the tenth level and Gu Mingyue is at the eleventh level, Great Sage Xiong has a body of steel and can actually deal with Gu Mingyue.

The big monsters following behind Great Sage Xiong also rushed towards the center of the Blood Sea Array, trying to break through the Blood Sea Array from the inside.

Zhang Chen stood still as a mountain, still hiding in the crowd and not making a move. He was waiting for the demon god who presided over the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation to take action. Only by suppressing one of the demon gods would the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation have a flaw, and only then would he have a chance to break out.

Zhang Chen is waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Gu Mingyue was, after all, an eleventh-rank warrior, much stronger than Xiong Dasheng. As the two fought, he gradually gained the upper hand. For a moment, Xiong Dasheng began to shout to the outside in a panic, "This old guy is really difficult to deal with. You guys should stop watching the fun and help me quickly."

As Xiong Dasheng called out, the twelve figures above hesitated. Among them, the Pleiades looked at one of them and said, "Chenlong, that Gu Mingyue has the power of water. Your dragon clan magical power can naturally restrain him. I'll have to trouble you to go there again."

Chen Long was surrounded by mist and his features could not be seen clearly. He looked towards the battlefield below and said with a little hesitation: "Our Twelve Yuan Chen Formation is running smoothly. If I take the initiative to go out and fight, I am afraid that the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation will have flaws..."

"Even if there will be a flaw, we can only take a risk. The Blood Sea Array is too overbearing. It will take us three to five years to completely destroy it. If you can lead some monster masters into it and set up a small Twelve Yuanchen Array inside to destroy the center of the array, we can quickly break the array. Besides, Chen Sanliang has not shown up yet, and his life or death is unknown. We can't delay any longer. If something happens to Chen Sanliang, we won't be able to afford the blame from our ancestor." Subaru Chicken said.

"Even if there are still hidden masters in Jinling City, what can they do? Linglong Tower was destroyed, Zhou Qiucheng was crippled. If the human race still had some tricks up their sleeves, they would have jumped out to stop us when we invaded Jiangnan." A gleam of light flashed in Subaru's eyes: "Even if there are still masters in Jinling City, can they be more than us?"

Chen Long nodded upon hearing this: "That's true! Thank you for helping me to clear the formation outside. I will go and suppress Gu Mingyue and break the blood sea formation."

Their demon clan also has the Blood Sea Formation, so they naturally know where the center of the Blood Sea Formation is and how to break it.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Long's aura circulated, and he headed towards Jinling City. His dragon roar shook the sky: "Gu Mingyue, don't be so arrogant, I will meet you."

Chen Long was born with the power to control water. Facing Gu Mingyue's power over water, he was not at a disadvantage. Together with Xiong Dasheng, he suppressed Gu Mingyue in an instant and put him at a disadvantage.

Zhang Chen's heart moved slightly when he saw this scene, and the measuring ruler in his sleeve began to vibrate slightly.

"Don't make any move. I can still hold you back! Wait until I lure down one of the demon gods, then you make your move. The more demon gods we suppress, the greater our chances of breaking out of the formation. I can still hold on!" Gu Mingyue's voice rang in Zhang Chen's ears.

Zhang Chen paused when he heard this, and finally restrained his energy, quietly hiding in the dark and watching.
