This assassin is upright

Chapter 408 Infiltrating the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons
"Pfft-"

With a sound of a blade piercing flesh, the pupils of one of the members of the Dragon Scissors Heavenly Demon Clan who had left the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors widened suddenly. Before he could even utter a sound, he had already turned into ashes in the next instant.

The moment the other party vanished, a hand suddenly shot out and grasped the bead left behind.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhun's figure emerged from the shadows.

With a flash of ghostly light, his figure twisted and then transformed into the exact same appearance as the member of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan who had just been killed.

Even their auras were almost identical.

Having transformed into a completely new persona, Yu Zhun clenched his fist and looked at himself with great interest. "The core treasure of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation is indeed quite effective."

Within the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, the core controller has absolute control over the formation, and because of this, the core also has some additional benefits.

That is, when necessary, Yu Zhun can intercept a portion of the original power of other members, thereby using the abilities of those other members.

Of course, the amount of primal power that can be retained is quite limited, and it is impossible to retain all of them. At most, a dozen or twenty strands can be retained. Moreover, the primal power that is retained is a non-renewable resource, and the power is reduced every time it is used.

Even so, it's enough for Yu Zhun to have more trump cards up his sleeve.

In the world of divine revelation, Yu Zhun possessed countless items and treasures, and could unleash all sorts of flashy abilities with a wave of his hand. However, upon arriving in the Netherworld, because his backpack was not unlocked at the same time, he had to start everything from scratch.

At this moment, the core treasure of this Heavenly Demon Battle Formation gave him a sense of what he had experienced in the Divine Revelation World.

“Next, I need to convince others that I am the real person.” As he spoke, Yu Zhun took out the black bead he had just grabbed from his pocket.

He quietly imprinted the round bead on his forehead, and as the bead merged into his forehead, Yu Zhun's eyes became even more profound.

If he and the deceased looked 99% alike just now, then at this moment, he is the member who was just killed.

This ability also originated from a member of the Suicide Squad, who was able to selectively absorb the memories of the person being devoured while consuming the orb.

With the other party's memories, Yu Zhun was able to ensure the success of the plan.

Almost the instant he merged into the bead, another figure rushed toward them; it was another member who had left the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors.

"Shatu, what just happened?"

"I think I can sense some unusual energy fluctuations here."

“Gudi, thank you for your concern.” Yu Zhun, who was playing the role of “Shatu”, glanced at the other party and said calmly, “Nothing happened. It’s just that the demonic energy core crystal that I exchanged with the leader a few days ago has finally been fully absorbed.”

"Therefore, there are some fluctuations in the aura."

“I see.” Gudi laughed. “Then I must congratulate you. One of these demonic energy core crystals is worth hundreds of demonic cores.”

"Your strength has increased, and our demonic forces have become even stronger."

"There are so many of us demons, what does my little improvement amount to?" Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. "Let's not talk about this."

"Did you get everything?"

“That’s for sure.” Gudi chuckled. “When I mention the name of our Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan, they’d practically bow down to me.”

"Let alone exchanging things, even if we asked them to give them away for free, they would obediently hand them over without daring to utter a single complaint!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhun glanced helplessly at Gu Di, "You, you've kept quite a few again, haven't you?"

"Hehe, don't worry, you'll definitely get a share." Gudi chuckled. "Isn't this why we voluntarily left the Demon Clan?"

"Everyone has long accepted that there's something to it called 'profit'."

"How much you can deduct depends entirely on your own ability."

"It's getting late." Yu Zhun waved his hand and looked at the giant dragon scissors in the sky not far away. "We still need to hunt down the people of the God-Slaying Clan."

"Don't let this little thing take too long."

"When the leader finds out, he'll skin us alive."

“You’re right.” Goody nodded in deep agreement.

The two did not linger, but transformed into two streaks of rainbow light and headed towards the dragon scissors.

After verifying their identities in mid-air, the two successfully stepped onto one of the blades of the Dragon Scissors. The moment their feet touched solid ground, Yu Zhun felt a slight sense of relief.

Finally, we made it up!

The first step of the infiltration is complete; the next step is to adapt to changing circumstances.

But before that…

Yu Zhun glanced at the majestic palace atop the dragon-shaped scissors in the distance.

He needs to figure out the situation here first.

“Shatu”.

Gudi's voice came from ahead, bringing Yu Zhun back to his senses.

"coming!"

He responded and quickly caught up with the other person.

Gudi looked around, then casually tossed a storage item to Yu Zhun and winked at him, "Here, this is yours."

"Thank you." Yu Zhun smiled and nodded, then put it away without even checking it.

Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed deep in Gudi's eyes.

That kid knows what's good for him.

"We'll be meeting the leader later, and the deputy leader will be there too. Remember not to say anything," Gudi casually reminded him.

“…Deputy Chief?” Yu Zhun raised an eyebrow.

There was no mistake, because Shatu himself was unaware of this matter.

“Not bad.” Goody nodded, glanced around, and quickly lowered his voice. “He’s a guy who just came down from the ninth floor.”

"It is said that he offered the leader a treasure no less powerful than the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors in exchange for the position of deputy leader." As he spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in Gudi's eyes. "Of course, I've only heard about it."

"You must never say these things in public."

"Otherwise, this new deputy leader might make things difficult for you."

"Don't worry, I know." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile. "By the way, what's this deputy leader's name?"

"I think his name is Changxuan?" Gudi thought for a moment and said.

Changxuan...

Yu Zhun's smile remained unchanged, but a strange glint flashed deep in his eyes.

Sure enough, everything was just as he had guessed.

The one who cooperated with the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan was the Changxuan Demon Lord.

No, the relationship between the two can no longer be described as cooperation.

Changxuan Demon Lord has joined the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan!
This guy even handed over the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation.

Besides this, Yu Zhun couldn't think of anything that could allow Changxuan Demon Lord to quickly gain a position second only to one person among the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan.

Was it because he felt threatened by my defeat of the Azure Tiger Clan...?

Yu Zhun concealed the sharp glint in his eyes.

The Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan made the right choice in coming here.

As the two spoke, the palace located at the intersection of the two scissor blades was already within reach. Stepping inside, a powerful magical aura suddenly descended.

"Chief, I have exchanged a new batch of resources with Shatu." Gudi said respectfully, then held up a storage item with both hands.

A steady voice echoed within the vast palace.

"very good."

As the words fell, the storage item in Gudi's hand flew towards the seat at the end of the palace, where it was caught by a tall, powerful demon.

Only now did Yu Zhun have the chance to raise his head and look at Mo Tuo, the leader of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan. He was a man who exuded authority without anger, calmly looking down at Yu Zhun and Gu Di, his eyes devoid of joy or anger, full of the majesty of a Heavenly Demon of the Eight Directions.

Standing beside him was another tall, thin man.

With just one glance, Yu Zhun recognized his old acquaintance.

Changxuan Demon Lord.

Just as Yu Zhun was subtly observing, Mo Tuo spoke in a deep voice, "This will be our last supply before we catch up with the God of Slaughter."

"You did a good job, you can go now."

"Yes!" Gu Di responded loudly, then turned to leave, but the next moment he was stunned when he saw Yu Zhun standing to the side without making any move.

"Ok?"

Medog also noticed Yu Zhun's unusual behavior, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Shatu, what's wrong?"

“Reporting to the leader,” Yu Zhun cupped his hands in greeting, “I believe that what we are chasing now may not be the Killing Gods.”

"Hiss~" Gudi couldn't help but gasp, grabbing Yu Zhun's arm and trying to take him away, while smiling obsequiously at Motuo and saying, "Chief, Shatu is talking nonsense, please ignore him."

"Wait!" Motuo's voice came calmly.

He looked at Yu Zhun, a hint of amusement flashing deep in his eyes. "You're saying we're not chasing the Killing Gods?"

"reason?"

“The target’s speed has clearly increased compared to before,” Yu Zhun said calmly. “This doesn’t seem like the speed at which the demons move.”

"Therefore, I think our target might only be one person."

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?" Motuo said calmly, resting his chin on his hand. "What I want is what the target has in his hands."

"Whether the target is the demons or just one person is not important."

"Sir, this is very important," Yu Zhun said calmly. "How can you be sure that the item is still in the target's hands?"

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, Motuo chuckled, "I see."

"Don't worry, I have a way."

He waved his hand, "You're quite loyal, now step down."

"Yes." Yu Zhun cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and walked out of the palace.

Following closely behind, Gudi looked resentful and said, "Hey Shatu, do you know how dangerous it was to talk nonsense in front of the leader just now?"

"If you make a mistake, you could be punished!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Yu Zhun smiled, a glint of shrewdness flashing deep in his eyes.

Although Motuo claimed to the members of the Demon Clan that they were hunting down the God-Slayers for the legendary treasure in the hands of the God-Slayers, he was cautious and did not tell the Demon Clan members what he possessed.

Therefore, my reminder just now was a reasonable one from the perspective of "Shatu". It not only tested the other party's methods and verified my guess, but also showed my loyalty and strengthened the impression of Medog.

This is just a small beginning.

Next, he will continue to take actions that will not affect the overall situation, but will make him appear loyal enough to Motuo remember him.

then…

He will be the one to kill "Yu Zhun", thereby stirring up the entire Jiaojian Tianmo Clan from within, and working together with the well-prepared Killing God Clan.
-
Time flew by, and after Yu Zhun infiltrated the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan, the giant scissors that swung across the sky never stopped, relentlessly pursuing Yu Zhun's true demonic body at an astonishing speed.

The distance between the two grew closer and closer, and the atmosphere above the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors became increasingly heavy and solemn.

Finally, the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors caught up with Yu Zhun's true demonic form.

"There really is only one person." Motuo stood at the very tip of the scissors, looking down at the figure rushing away at high speed.

Behind him stood all the members of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan.

Yu Zhun was among them, but his position was now much further forward than when he first arrived, and he could even see the back of Motuo.

“Yu Zhun…” Standing beside Mo Tuo, Chang Xuan, who was a step behind, looked at the familiar figure below, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Leader, it's time to kill them."

"The thing is on him."

Medog remained silent, only waving his hand casually.

The entire Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan descended like dumplings being dropped into a pot, covering all escape routes of the true demon body without leaving any blind spots.

Faced with a mere opponent, they didn't even bother to deploy the full Ten Thousand Demons Formation, instead deploying it in units of ten.

Even so, it was already a decisive blow.

Yu Zhun also infiltrated the group. With his current status, he was naturally able to take the initiative in the ten-person formation.

They exchanged a glance with the true demon body from afar, and a sharp glint flashed in the depths of their eyes at the same time. The next instant, the true demon body moved.

It weaved and shifted among the powerful true demons, attempting to break through towards the direction controlled by Yu Zhun.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Yu Zhun roared, controlling the Ten Demons, and then fiercely attacked the True Demon's body.

After several rounds of fighting, the true demon body quickly turned into dust. With quick eyes and hands, Yu Zhun grabbed the core of the Heavenly Demon Formation that had been separated from him for a long time, and then flew towards the direction of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan without hesitation.

Seeing this, the others cursed inwardly and envied Yu Zhun's good luck, but could only return empty-handed and helpless.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Motuo laughed heartily and strode towards Yu Zhun. "Shatu deserves the greatest credit for capturing the treasure!"

"Chief," Yu Zhun said calmly, bowing slightly to Motuo, "I've heard that the deputy chief gained his current position by giving you a treasure. May I ask..."

"How does the treasure of the deputy leader compare to the one I have?"

As Yu Zhun finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

The Demon Lord Changxuan stared intently at Yu Zhun, his eyes filled with coldness.

Medog was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Interesting, very interesting."

"Since you've asked, then..."

"Compared to the two, yours is naturally more precious."

“In that case…” Yu Zhun smiled slightly, “I hope to obtain a position above that of Deputy Leader Changxuan.”

"Please allow me, Chief."

Medog was still smiling, but the smile was gradually fading.

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord Changxuan's gaze grew increasingly cold.

In the dead silence, the former spoke softly.

"Shatu, are you sure?"

“I’m sure.” Yu Zhun said with a smile, while slowly taking out the core of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation that he had just acquired.

Outside the core, there is a thick layer of spatial power.

The moment a thought arises, the core will instantly appear millions of miles away.

"Very well." Motuo nodded slightly. "Hand it over. From today onwards, you will be the second leader of the Jiaojian Heavenly Demon Clan."

Yu Zhun glanced mockingly at the Changxuan Demon Lord, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and then smiled as he slowly handed over the core of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation.

A glint flashed in Motuo's eyes as he reached out to grab it.

From this day forward, I will be the leader of the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons!
The next instant, Yu Zhun let out a loud shout.

"All personnel, form ranks!"
