Chapter 454 The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi

Well come!
The instant the word "good" was uttered, Ying Xun took a sudden step forward, and a mysterious halo flashed within a radius of a hundred feet, while a mysterious aura rose up at the same time.

This is the formation that Ying Xun used to deal with the divine general in the ice cave. He secretly set up the formation while sparring with Bai Suzhen.

As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and Ying Xun has always been the same, at least when facing opponents of the same level.

Moreover, facing a master like Bai Suzhen, it would be an insult to both of them not to take it seriously.

The moment the formation was activated, within a radius of a hundred feet, I was the heavens, and he was the emperor reigning over the world, his words carrying the law and becoming law itself.

All things in heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars—within my array, nothing is beyond my reach.

For a moment, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen felt as if there was an invisible barrier between her and all things in the world, as if she were in another world. There was even a kind of chaotic malice coming at her, as if she had become the enemy of all living beings. Even if the Earth-level Maha Boundless Power could draw on the power of heaven and earth for its own use, its power at this time would probably only be one-third of its original strength.

Ying Xun stretched out one hand and slowly opened it.

Immediately, strands of mysterious and unpredictable celestial secrets descended from the heavens and landed in his palm.

At the same time, invisible streams of earth vein energy rose from the ground and merged into his palm.

The moment you clench your fist, it's as if you're holding the whole world in your grasp, giving you the feeling that the universe is in your hands.

Moreover, as he clenched his fist, cracks spread out along his knuckles, as if this space itself could not withstand his simple grip.

"Demon Lord, you are very strong, but unfortunately, you are still a little weaker than me."

Before the words were even finished, the fist had already been thrown.

This punch combined the power of heaven and earth, sword energy, the true meaning of the All-Destroying Blade, and so on, integrating nearly half of his martial arts into one punch.

Its destructive power is probably only slightly less than Guan Yu's "One Slash That Shatters the City".

The moment the punch was thrown, the world changed color.

The wind stopped!

The clouds have stopped!

Maha Boundless, who had not yet fully gathered his strength, was naturally no match for this punch.

In the blink of an eye, the fist collided with the black dragon. After a moment of stagnation, the heavens and earth trembled, and a powerful aura of destruction spread out in all directions.

The standoff between the fist and the black dragon lasted only a moment before the black dragon collapsed, the force of which caused a whooshing sound, like its desperate lament.

As for Ying Xun's punch, it stopped three inches away from Bai Suzhen's forehead. The powerful energy made her black hair flutter, but the punch had been completely stopped.

"This control is truly exquisite..."

Before the Sword Saint could finish his reflections, a water dragon suddenly surged up from the Qiantang River, roaring towards Ying Xun and Bai Suzhen.

"Who do you think you are, you scoundrel, you're asking for death!"

The Sword Saint roared, his whole body bursting with sword energy, but Ying Xun was faster than him.

"Immortal God, I was prepared for this sneak attack from you."

A cold smile flashed across Ying Xun's lips. As he twisted his body, the fist that had been resting on Bai Suzhen's forehead slammed into the water dragon.

boom!
The water dragon shattered instantly, turning into a shower of rain that fell from the sky, but the force of the punch did not weaken in the slightest.

It vibrates the void and merges into the void.

To be precise, it was blasted into the void.

Then, a muffled groan was heard, followed by the sound of something falling into the water.

All he knows is sneak attacks and escaping. At this moment, Ying Xun regretted including the Immortal God on the Fear List. Putting him on the Fear List was an insult to the people on the list.

"Demon Lord, your judgment is really poor."

"It's really not that great."

Bai Suzhen did not deny it, nor did her expression change. However, her tone became colder, filled with overwhelming hatred and... killing intent.

However, she did not give chase, but stared intently at the churning river surface.

The reason is simple: after the immortal god fell into the water, he completely concealed his presence, making him undetectable and impossible to track.

Ying Xun choked for a moment, then laughed and said, "You lost."

"That's right, I lost."

Bai Suzhen withdrew her gaze, her eyes dimming slightly. She slipped her jade-like hand into her sleeve and tossed something resembling a die to Ying Xun, her tone returning to its previous indifference.

"I will work for you for the next ten years, but unlocking Bodhidharma's heart is one of your promises."

"The Demon Lord is indeed swift and decisive."

As they spoke, the Sword Saint had already flown to Ying Xun's side with You Ruo.

"Good lad, impressive!"

Sword Saint laughed heartily and patted the door. You Ruo was a little worried, but when she saw Ying Xun's relaxed and carefree appearance, she realized that she had worried for nothing.

Then, she turned her attention to the Demon Lord.

She considered herself a beauty, but upon seeing Bai Suzhen, she couldn't help but feel somewhat ashamed of herself.

Of course, appearance is only a small part; the most important thing is temperament, that unique temperament that transcends worldly concerns yet has the world in mind.

It was only one glance, yet Bai Suzhen had taken root in her heart.

In her mind, she was like a fairy who stood proudly between heaven and earth, supporting a piece of the world.

It makes people feel ashamed of themselves, yet it is also very alluring.

Noticing You Ruo's emotional change, Ying Xun grabbed her small hand and squeezed it, then his divine sense invaded the Heart of Bodhidharma to begin to understand and explore its internal structure.

A moment later, Ying Xun understood, and his fingers began to move rapidly, so fast that the shadows of his hands were almost invisible.

As he unraveled the Heart of Bodhidharma, he said, "Demon Lord, when do you have time to set off for Wushuang City?"

"As soon as possible."

The Sword Saint looked puzzled. He first glanced at the Demon Lord, then fixed his gaze on Ying Xun, his eyes filled with doubt.

"To Wushuang City?"

"Well, didn't I promise you to take care of Wushuang City? But I can't stay in Wushuang City forever, so the Demon Lord is the bodyguard I found for Wushuang City. How about that, not bad, right?"

"It's more than just good."

The Sword Saint smiled, then clasped his hands in a salute to the Demon Lord: "In that case, I'll trouble you, senior."

Bai Suzhen shook her head, looked at Ying Xun again, and frowned slightly, saying, "Is the goal of the demons saving all living beings truly impossible?"

“It’s not that it’s impossible, but it’s too ahead of its time.” Ying Xun shook his head and pondered, “Progress takes time. You can’t become fat in one bite. Your ideas are ahead of thousands of years and are not suitable for the development of this era. Moreover, there has never been absolute fairness and democracy in the world. Since you are going to Wushuang City, you may be able to start handling some matters there and have Mingyue allocate some power to you to implement your ideas and see if you can succeed.”

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Heart of Bodhidharma opened, revealing its secrets.

"This is……"

"Ten thousand acres of gold?!"

The former was the Sword Saint, and the latter was You Ruo; both of them looked surprised.

Ying Xun, however, paid no attention to the location of the ten thousand acres of gold and simply passed the secret on to Bai Suzhen. Even with Bai Suzhen's nearly two hundred years of cultivation, she was still somewhat shocked upon seeing the secret of the Heart of Bodhidharma, and at the same time, a great joy welled up in her heart.

If one could acquire this vast expanse of golden sea, wouldn't that mean having the money to realize one's ideals?!

Ying Xun seemed to see through her thoughts and chuckled: "These ten thousand acres of gold are not as important as you think. If used improperly, they will not only fail to bring fairness and democracy to the people, but will also bring great disaster to the world. Let's not even talk about inflation. Just talking about human desires will inevitably lead to competition. With your wisdom, I think you can understand this after a little thought."

Bai Suzhen looked deeply at Ying Xun, calming herself down: "Speak, what is your request?"

The so-called requirement is actually the bet between them.

In addition to serving the other party for ten years, there is also the obligation to grant the other party one request.

What Ying Xun wanted was naturally the Demon Lord's six great demonic crossings and the world-destroying demonic body.

"My request is very simple: I want to discuss the mysteries of martial arts with the Demon Lord."

Bai Suzhen paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Since it's a discussion, it can't be considered a request. Please!"

And so, the two sat cross-legged by the river and began to discuss martial arts.

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen is exceptionally talented. She created her own world-destroying demon body and the Six Great Demon Crossings. With nearly two hundred years of experience, in the field of martial arts, the only ones who can compare to her are those old monsters who have lived even longer than her.

Ying Xun's talent was by no means inferior to Bai Suzhen's. The breadth and variety of his knowledge were beyond imagination. It could be said that every word he uttered contained the truth of martial arts.

Once the conversation had gotten going, Ying Xun smiled and said, "The Demon Lord's Boundless Salvation is a peerless divine skill that has made it onto the Shocking List. It is unparalleled in the world. May we discuss it further?"

Bai Suzhen was taken aback at first, then smiled slightly: "Of course it's possible."

She could naturally guess some of Ying Xun's thoughts, which were nothing more than wanting to deduce the Great Immeasurable, but she didn't care and explained the wonders of the Earth-level Great Immeasurable in detail.

Ying Xun listened intently, and gained some insight into the most incredible power in the world.

In return, he also shared his insights and some essential martial arts techniques with Bai Suzhen.

After a discussion, all four of them benefited greatly.

Don't ask why there are four people, because Sword Saint and You Ruo are also there.

After talking for more than three hours, as dawn was breaking, Bai Suzhen got up to say goodbye and leave. Ying Xun and the other two also pondered leaving the riverbank and returning to the inn.

For the next three days, Ying Xun remained in seclusion at the inn, deducing the Maha Boundless.

Although not as good as Bai Suzhen or the immortal god, she has at least entered the field.

Early that morning, after having breakfast, Ying Xun and his companions went to the Qiantang River dock to see off the Sword Saint.

As for where the Sword Saint was going, it goes without saying that he was going to cross the sea to Japan to find his lover, Miyamoto Yukure.

After seeing the Sword Saint off, on their way back to the city, a group of strange people blocked their path.

There were twelve people in total, men and women, tall and short, fat and thin, dressed in different clothes, but each of them carried a strong murderous aura, clearly indicating that they were ruthless killers.

Among these twelve people, the one riding a wooden horse and with the physique of a child was the most respected. Although he had the physique of a child, his voice was very deep and resonant.

"Miss, uncle."

Upon hearing this, You Ruo turned her head slightly to look at Wen Chou Chou, who was a step behind.

Wen Chou Chou understood what she meant, and couldn't help but lower his voice and respectfully replied, "Miss, Master, they are the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi."

The Tianchi Assassins were originally a group of 108 people who acted without any principles and had accumulated a lot of blood debts. They were feared and hated by people in the martial arts world, so they jointly petitioned the Sword Saint, hoping that he would step in to rid the martial arts world of this scourge.

Back then, the Sword Saint accepted the invitation to draw his sword and single-handedly killed ninety-six assassins, leaving only twelve to flee in panic. At that time, the World Society was at a crucial stage of its development, so Xiong Ba took them under his command and concealed their whereabouts.

Over the years, like the leader in purple robes, they have secretly cleared obstacles for Xiong Ba. These twelve people are the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi.

They are Child Emperor, Iron Broom Immortal, Food Immortal, Paper Scholar, Dog King, Ghost Shadow, Playful Treasure, Husband Singing, Wife Following, Hand Dance, Foot Dance, and Matchmaker.

You Ruo nodded and asked, "What brings you here?"

"We have come specifically to invite Miss and her husband back to the World Society."

Without even thinking, You Ruo blurted out, "I won't go back."

Ying Xun glanced at them and chuckled, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

"What do you mean?"

Looking at You Ruo's adorable expression, Ying Xun couldn't help but pinch her cheek and said with a smile, "They are filled with murderous intent. If we don't go back, they might kill us."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chou Chou immediately roared, "Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, how dare you lay a hand on the young lady and her son-in-law? Are you betraying my Tianxia Society?!"

"You androgynous bastard, haven't you got one thing wrong? We, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, are merely cooperating with Xiong Ba, not his subordinates. Besides, Xiong Ba is currently in dire straits himself, and you..."

What do you mean by "my father is in dire need of protection"?

You Ru interrupted, her tone betraying a hint of nervousness.

"It means something has happened at the World Society." Ying Xun grabbed her hand and looked at the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi opposite them: "Could it be that Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun joined forces to attack my father-in-law?"

Tong Huang shook his head: "No."

"Who is that?"

Ying Xun frowned slightly. There were many people who had a grudge against Xiong Ba, but apart from Feng Yun, there were not many people who could pose a threat to Xiong Ba. And those on the Shock Ranking would most likely not make a move. So who else could it be?
"Naturally, it's the new gang leader, the former leader of the Seven Heroes of Demon Chasing, and also the young lady's grandfather."

"Who are you talking about?"

You Ruo was astonished, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

Ying Xun was stunned for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "Why did the purple-robed leader attack Xiong Ba?"

"I don't know about that. Why don't you come back with us and ask the gang leader yourself?"

What if we don't go back?

"If you don't return, then we'll have no choice but to ask the son-in-law to die."

"Just you?"

Ying Xun sneered: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste words with you. You Twelve Fiends of Tianchi have committed many evils. Since we've met today, I'll send you down to meet the King of Hell."

After saying that, he flicked his arm, and a glowing long whip appeared in his hand.

"Is this a divine stone?"

You Ruo asked in surprise, "You got the divine stone?"

Ying Xun nodded and hummed in agreement, then brandished the long whip in his hand.

call out!
With a flick of Ying Xun's wrist, the long whip suddenly shot out like a sharp sword.

It moved so fast that it seemed to pierce through the void.

Before the nearest food connoisseur could react, his head had already been pierced.

Then, it exploded like a watermelon.

The others were horrified and turned to flee, but Tong Huang's cold shout stopped them in their tracks.

"Running back will only lead to death, so let's all attack and kill him!"

As he spoke, the Child Emperor's eyes emitted an eerie light, deep and unfathomable, as if to drag people into an endless dream.

And this is precisely what the Child Emperor has been practicing—the True Scripture of Childlike Innocence.
