Destiny is ashes

Chapter 91: The Hundred Forms of the Devil (610)

Two days have passed since An Jing killed the white-robed scholar with the Chongming Sword Box and escaped from the Demon Cult's flying shuttle.

During these two days, An Jing did not run at full speed, but walked and stopped, observing the surrounding terrain and looking for a suitable location.

He did not rush into the village, nor did he go to the Tianyuan Realm to hide.

He didn't enter the village because An Jing was not stupid. If a strange boy appeared in such a small village deep in the mountains and old forests, even a mentally retarded member of the Demon Cult would be able to track him down.

Not to mention that this village deep in the mountains and forests where people live comfortably might be the lair of a cult.

The reason why An Jing did not go to the Tianyuan Realm was that he was not in any urgent danger at the moment, but there was a hidden crisis, so he was unwilling to leave himself a loophole for the cooling time of the Taixu Channel every three days.

As for why he didn't escape at full speed, it was because An Jing wanted to see if the Demon Cult had any other means to catch up with him.

And the fact was exactly as An Jing expected - at this moment, he did realize that someone had caught up with him and was nipping at his heels, ready to attack at any time.

So, after running for a while, An Jing slowly stopped.

Looking around, there are dense jungles, overlapping mountains, and a clear, abrupt cliff in front.

This is an erosion canyon, which is several times larger than the Hanging Life Valley. There is a drop of nearly a thousand meters between the top of the cliff and the bottom of the valley. A fast-moving and turbulent river is rushing at the bottom of the canyon, and there is not even a single plant on the steep cliff. If an ordinary person jumps from it, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

It seemed unwise to choose this place as the battlefield. Cutting off one's own escape route was no different from committing suicide.

However, with the secret of the Taixu Sword that can travel across the two worlds, An Jing has enough time to look back at this dangerous cliff and wait for the "demon cult" to catch up.

In the end, it wasn't the Demon Cult that caught up with them.

But the devil.

After An Jing stopped, the strange gaze from the dense forest behind him intensified. It felt like a sword was pointing directly at his forehead, and an instinctive sense of tension began to spread.

Soon, a fully armed figure wearing red armor walked out from the shadows of the dense forest.

The iron boots stepped on the ground, and wisps of black smoke rose up.

Red Armor Guard?
No, this feeling... is not human!

Seeing that the visitor was not from the familiar Tianyi Demon Sect, and did not seem to be a normal "human", how could An Jing not know that the other party was most likely some strange monster?
The terrifying sense of danger and the overflowing demonic energy made the sword spirit solemn: "An Jing, this is a demon - a sub-demon of the big demon in Xuanming Valley!"

[Hahaha… found it]

At this moment, the demon finally found its target. Although it didn't know why it was able to escape from the demon-imprisoning formation, it finally caught up with An Jing by taking advantage of the disappearing aura of An Jing.

Behind the red helmet, the hollow Chaos smiled, and misty black smoke seeped out from every gap in the armor helmet, making its body swell like a balloon, getting bigger and bigger. Even the armor that imitated the Red Armor Guard gradually turned into black and red scales, covering the dark demon body layer by layer.

In an instant, the demon completely lost its human form and turned into a monster with a deer head and a human body, strange horns, scales all over the body, wings, hooves and sharp claws on its hands!

Its bird-like and bat-like wings were erected high up and pointing to the sky. From the wing tip to the recurved hoof, they were four or five stories high. Its huge physique surpassed many ferocious beasts, and only the monsters deep in the mountains could rival it!

“The Hundred Forms of the Heavenly Demon—” In the Divine Sea, the voice of the Sword Spirit was extremely solemn: “This is a demon born of evil. Its body is invisible, just a mass of rotten flesh. The human body, deer head, snake scales and bird feathers on the outside are all the result of other creatures being devoured and fused by it!”

"Be careful, although this demon has average magic power, its body is extremely strong. According to the classification of martial arts realm... it may have the strength of a martial vein!"

"Then why are you still fighting? Just run!"

An Jing didn't even think twice and was ready to run away when he saw the other party transform and expand.

In other words, he was brave and wanted to test the strength of this demon, so he didn't turn around immediately. But now he knew that the other party was two realms stronger than him, so why not run away?
Without any hesitation, he headed straight towards the target he had chosen long ago, which was the cliff.

Upon seeing this, the evil demon raised its head and let out a loud roar. The sound brought up a black gale, causing the surrounding pine needles to fall off.

Countless pine needles were entangled in the black air and turned into flying leaf blades along with the roar.

Thousands of needles like arrows flew towards An Jing, like a dark green misty rain. They drew dark green tracks and hit the back of An Jing who was running away from the demon with his back to him with a shrill sound of breaking through the air.

But An Jing did not look back. The Nine Earth Spiritual Energy Furnace hanging on his waist emitted an ice-blue halo, and at the same time, the bulletproof raincoat worn by the young man was also filled with a layer of bright and moist light.

Hundreds of pine needles hit the raincoat's magical aura, causing the entire raincoat to heat up rapidly and the shield to tremble violently.

But it was not penetrated.

In fact, the thrust generated by the attack made An Jing even faster, allowing him to rush towards the edge of the cliff at almost flying speed.

However, An Jing spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air - although the defense of the bulletproof raincoat was not penetrated, the strong impact still hurt his lungs.

The evil demon's overwhelming force far exceeded the upper limit of the internal energy defense, causing An Jing's breath, which was originally operating at full power, to instantly go wrong, causing internal injuries.

Gritting his teeth and holding on, he continued to speed up!
"This demon doesn't want to kill me, he just wants to capture me!"

"But being captured alive by the demons is probably worse than death!"

The attack range of the pine needle rain of arrows was too wide. This spiritual skill was used to prevent An Jing from dodging and escaping, not to kill. The power of a single arrow did not exceed the upper limit of the bulletproof raincoat, so it was blocked.

But this is the limit. Not to mention that the energy of the spiritual energy furnace has dropped sharply from 60% to 12%. An Jing can be sure that as long as the evil demon attacks again, the core of the bulletproof raincoat will be burned, and he will be shot into a hedgehog by the rain of needles.

The evil demon was also stunned when he saw this. Who could have thought that a fleeing little warrior with internal energy as strong as a river could have such a powerful protective magic weapon?

But it was a demon after all, not a human. The next moment, it roared and pounced, chasing at a speed that was totally inconsistent with its huge body, preventing An Jing from jumping off the cliff in desperation and surviving.

However, when it was halfway through its run, it was surprised to find that An Jing, who was almost at the edge of the cliff, suddenly stopped.

Not only that, he turned his head and took out a strange magical weapon in his hand.

A strange sense of danger appeared in the heart of the evil demon.
