Loan Wusheng

Chapter 215 Severely Injures the Deer Demon King, Besiege the Capital!

The rain poured down, the sky was as black as ink, and the muddy official road outside Shenkang County was crisscrossed with gullies by the rain.

Thirty thousand heavily armored Jinglong Guards stood in formation beneath the city. The banners fluttered amidst the dark, imposing army, yet strangely, they remained completely dry from the rain.

The Deer Demon King stood beside King Li Xun of Qin, his eyes glowing with a ghostly green light. With a wave of his sleeve, his immense demonic power transformed into an invisible barrier, completely blocking the rain within a ten-mile radius.

The road in front of the army was as dry as ever, and there was not a trace of mud when the horses trod across it.

Li Xun was clad in black armor and held a gilded halberd with a coiled dragon design; lightning flashed and thunder roared wherever the halberd's tip pointed.

Li Xun sneered and looked towards the direction of the Lanzhou army, then said to the Deer Demon King, "Zheng Jun is just bluffing. Today, let him see what the might of Heaven is!"

The Deer Demon King frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty, if those three Yuan Dan Martial Saints are truly hiding in the army..."

Upon hearing the Deer Demon King's words, Li Xun's expression immediately darkened, and he sternly interrupted him: "I am of the bloodline of the Divine Martial Emperor, how could I fear the tricks of ants? Dragon Guards, follow me to break the formation!"

After saying this, Li Xunyuan's aura surged forth, and the 30,000 Jinglong Guard soldiers immediately formed ranks and marched forward!
The Iron Cavalry of the Dragon Guard swept across the official road like a black tide, their hoofbeats shattering the rain curtain, their killing intent solidifying into a blood-red aura above the army formation.

The Deer Demon King remained silent.

Although he didn't understand military formations, wasn't forming a formation now a bit too much of a drain on the soldiers' energy?
Pressing forward in formation?

Although it doesn't consume much, it's still a form of consumption.

However, looking at the madness of the King of Qin... or rather, Emperor Yangwu Li Xun, the Deer Demon King remained silent.

Forget it, what does it have to do with this deer demon?
It's good that Li Xun is going crazy. Once he defeats Zheng Jun, I'll summon that poisonous scorpion and the old ox from the Demon Court. The three of us demon kings will re-establish the Northern Demon Court in Shenjing and wait for a suitable opportunity to welcome the Great Sage back.

Thus, for the first time in nearly ten thousand years, our demon race has surpassed the human race.

Thinking of this, the Deer Demon King immediately felt much more at ease.

The ultimate purpose of choosing Qin King Li Xun was to use him to circumvent the human race's Dharma Aspect Zhenwu, wasn't it?

With the bloodline of the Divine Martial Emperor in charge, those few human Dharma Aspects couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Li Xun took the lead, and the enemy's formation gradually appeared in front of him.

"Little thief!"

Li Xun shouted loudly, and the gilded dragon halberd drew out the thunder. Wherever the halberd's tip pointed, the rain actually flowed upwards, turning into thousands of ice cones that shot towards the Lanzhou army formation!
At the front of the Lanzhou army, Zheng Jun stood on his chariot. Facing the overwhelming offensive, he immediately sneered, clasped his hands together, and his body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling azure water light and a majestic earthy yellow light.

All phenomena are without form, as still as a deep pool and as majestic as a mountain!
"boom!"

The continuous rain and the solid soil formed a barrier that rose from the ground. The ice cones crashed into the barrier with a crackling sound and shattered.

Deep pools and towering mountains inherently possess both water and soil attributes.

A deep pool becomes water, a towering mountain becomes earth.

With its majestic aura, when added to true essence, it can naturally create even more magnificent and wondrous uses.

After easily deflecting the ice spikes, Zheng Jun, sitting on the chariot, looked up at Li Xun.

The rain poured down, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a thick curtain of rain.

Through the rain, the two seemed to exchange a glance.

Li Xun stood before the Jinglong Guard's formation, his gilded dragon-patterned halberd held high. The aura of a Yuan Dan Martial Saint emanating from him was as deep and boundless as the ocean. The blood and qi of the 30,000 Jinglong Guards were drawn to him, transforming into a blood-red dragon coiled around the tip of the halberd, roaring ferociously.

Demonic energy surged, and in an instant, a murderous aura erupted!

"You lowly little beast, today I'll show you the might of the Emperor!"

Li Xun let out a wild laugh, and his halberd swung down suddenly. A blood-red dragon, carrying the force of thunder, tore through the rain and rushed straight towards the Lanzhou army formation.

With overwhelming momentum and increasingly powerful demonic energy, Zheng Jun took a deep breath upon seeing this. Facing this attack capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks, he immediately surging his true essence. He used the 'All Laws Without Form' divine power to draw upon the immense blood and qi of the 50,000 Cangdao Army and the 50,000 Xiaoguo Army, transforming them into a dazzling golden torrent that rushed towards the blood-red dragon!
Before they fall into the trap, it's not easy for Cai Kang, Lu Zhenglin, and Wu Liyang to go into battle.

"boom--!"

The two forces collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave swept in all directions, instantly evaporating the rain and creating a brief vacuum!

The crimson dragon and the golden torrent tore at each other, eroding each other until they finally collapsed. The aftershocks cracked the ground for miles around, and mud surged like waves.

Zheng Jun swayed slightly, feeling his true energy being suppressed and his palms slightly numb, clearly indicating that he was at a slight disadvantage in this exchange.

However, his eyes remained sharp as he sneered, "Li Xun, your 'imperial majesty' seems to be nothing special after all!"

The title "Half-Step Yuan Dan" sounds impressive, but it's still just the Tongqiao Realm.

With his profound cultivation and the support of 100,000 soldiers, Zheng Jun was able to hold his own against the King of Qin's 30,000 elite troops, which gave him considerable confidence.

Although he was slightly at a disadvantage, Zheng Jun had gained confidence.

After all, the Jinglong Guards have been protecting the King of Qin since childhood, sharing the same sentiments as him. Among them are fathers and sons, brothers, who eat and wear the same food and clothing, and practice the same techniques and martial arts as the King of Qin. This has been the case for a hundred years.

If others form a formation, they can only unleash 80-90% of its power, but if the King of Qin forms a formation, he can unleash 110-120% of its power!
The effect of his 30,000 soldiers on Li Xun was greater than the effect of the Cangdao and Xiaoguo armies on Zheng Jun.

Even so, Zheng Jun only fell slightly behind in the confrontation, almost to the point of being evenly matched. How could this not make Zheng Jun feel comfortable and confident?

Li Xun frowned, secretly furious.

He had thought that with his Yuan Dan Martial Saint realm and the elite of the Jinglong Guard, he would be able to crush Zheng Jun, but he did not expect that the other party could withstand the attack without being defeated.

Not only Li Xun, but also Lu Zhenglin, Cai Kang, and Wu Liyang, who were hiding in the army formation and had not shown any of their momentum, were also somewhat surprised.

Therefore, although Zheng Jun's abilities are not as strong as those of a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, he is not so easily killed by a Yuan Dan Martial Saint in a real fight, and is enough to delay the confrontation.

seem……

The odds of winning this battle are much higher.

Cai Kang and Lu Zhenglin were very satisfied, while Wu Liyang's eyes narrowed.

Zheng Jun is already so powerful at the half-step Yuan Dan realm. If he really reaches the Yuan Dan Martial Saint realm, what will become of him?
"Hmph, you little thief, you only managed to block my attack by sheer luck!"

Li Xun snorted coldly, raised his halberd once more, and the blood and qi of the Dragon Guard gathered again: "Let's see how many times you can withstand this!"

The rain poured down, and the world seemed to be filled only with rain and the atmosphere of battle.

Li Xun raised his gilded dragon halberd high once more, its tip crackling with lightning as it transformed into a hundred-foot-long thunder dragon that roared down, hurtling straight towards Zheng Jun's army formation.

"hold head high!"

A true dragon roared, bringing with it a downpour!

Zheng Jun's eyes narrowed, his true essence surged, and he pushed his perfected 'All Laws Without Form' divine power to its limit. With his hands clenched in the air, a golden torrent rose from the army formation, condensing into a majestic mountain phantom, which directly clashed with the thunder dragon.

This is a defensive formation, an immovable mountain formation.

"boom--!!!"

The two forces collided again, and the shockwave evaporated the rain curtain within a radius of a hundred feet into fog, causing the ground to crack and collapse!

At the same time, the Deer Demon King could no longer restrain himself. As his black robe billowed, a monstrous demonic aura transformed into crimson chains, which coiled towards Zheng Jun's flank like venomous snakes.

"kill!"

After Li Xun's attack, he immediately raised his gilded dragon halberd, and 30,000 Jinglong Guards pressed forward, attacking Zheng Jun's army formation!

The battlefield descended into complete chaos.

The two armies were not far apart to begin with, and now, with the charge and close combat, the formations were still maintained, and the two armies began to fight!
The heavy armor of the Jinglong Guard clashed with the Mo Dao of the Cangdao Army, sparks flying in the rain!

"kill!"

Arrows rained down, swords gleamed.

In the rain, a fierce battle was bound to break out.

Seeing the Deer Demon King and Prince Qin Li Xun approaching menacingly, Zheng Jun shook his head.

not the right time yet.

Closer, then make your move!

Amidst fierce battles and torrential rain, the air was thick with murderous intent.

The demon king's eyes flashed with demonic light, and with a sharp roar, his black robe ripped apart, and his body suddenly swelled up!

A giant red-horned deer, several dozen feet tall, trampled the earth, and its demonic aura swept across the battlefield like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, the soldiers' flesh and blood melted away, turning into withered bones!

"Zheng Jun! Prepare to die!"

The Deer Demon King's four hooves sank into the air, and its red antlers erupted with crimson lightning, striking straight at Zheng Jun's head.

At the same time, King Qin Li Xun swept his halberd horizontally, and nine black dragons condensed from the surging demonic energy, attempting to block Zheng Jun's retreat.

The human and the demon cooperated well.

"A deer demon?"

Upon seeing the Deer Demon King's true form, Zheng Jun pondered for a moment and immediately understood the identity of the black-robed demon king: "So you are the Deer Demon King of the Northern Demon Court. You and I are old acquaintances, but it's a pity we've never met before."

"Humph!"

The Deer Demon King snorted coldly, ignoring Zheng Jun's question, and attacked Zheng Jun instead: "You killed many of my demon generals, and today I will kill you to avenge this blood feud for my demon race!"

"Ugh."

Faced with the combined attack of King Qin Li Xun and the Deer Demon King, Zheng Jun showed no sign of panic, but sighed, "In that case, this may be the last time we meet."

After saying that, Zheng Jun unleashed his true energy!

Upon seeing Zheng Jun's demeanor, the Deer Demon King sensed that something was amiss.

What's wrong with this kid?
Why are you so relaxed at this moment?

Could it be a fraud?
Thinking of this, the Deer Demon King was worried, but when he saw that King Qin Li Xun had already pounced on him, he knew that there was no turning back once the arrow was released!
At that very moment, the oppressive power of the three Yuan Dan suddenly erupted!

"You fiend, cease your arrogance!"

Lu Zhenglin pointed his sword at the sky, and the Azure Sword Domain unfolded. Ten thousand sword energies fell like a celestial river, shattering the blood-red lightning!
Cai Kang's sleeves billowed as he and Lu Zhenglin made their move. Star chains appeared from the void, binding the Deer Demon King's four hooves—a completely new application of the 'Swift Meteor' technique.

Wu Liyang, without hesitation, thrust his spear out like a dragon, the chilling spear light transforming into a white tiger phantom, roaring as it crashed into Li Xun's black dragon!
"boom--!"

The aftershocks of the clash between the Yuan Dan turned the rain curtain within a radius of a thousand feet into mist. After sensing the power of the three Yuan Dan, the Deer Demon King immediately roared and thought to himself that something was wrong. He opened his blood-red maw and spewed out crimson flames, trying to force back the Star Chains.

Li Xun, on the other hand, was locked in combat with Wu Liyang, spear against halberd, needle against wheat awn.

"Wu Liyang, Lu Zhenglin, Cai Kang! You three dared to ambush me?! Ahhhhh, I'm going to kill you all!"

Li Xun was furious. The gilded dragon halberd in his hand shone brightly, and the powerful demonic energy blasted towards Wu Liyang with overwhelming force!

Although Wu Liyang's spear was menacing and the White Tiger was known for its killing intent, it paled in comparison to Li Xun's Black Dragon Demonic Aura.

Although to outsiders, the White Tiger and the Black Dragon appear to be ruthless and decisive, constantly clashing with each other, only Wu Liyang knows that Qin King Li Xun's strength in capturing Dan is not to be underestimated.

Especially after he went mad, his strength seemed to suddenly and inexplicably double.

"Damn it!"

Wu Liyang felt a deep sense of dread, and even through his pupils, he vaguely sensed a trace of the Divine Martial Emperor's aura emanating from Li Xun, only this aura was imbued with a demonic quality...

However, the Deer Demon King was not in a good position at this moment.

Li Xun was engaged in a one-on-one duel, while the Deer Demon King was facing a super combination of two old Deng and one little Deng.

Lu Zhenglin was a renowned swordsman. Three hundred years ago, he traveled the world, proving his Dao with the sword, and was known as the number one swordsman of his time. It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago, when the master of the Sword Pavilion in Shu came to challenge him, that he relinquished the title of "number one swordsman".

However, Lu Zhenglin's ruthless strength should not be underestimated.

But then Lu Zhenglin, who looked like a handsome young man, had bright and piercing eyes. His flying sword rose up in all directions, the Azure Nether Sword Domain shrank, and the sword energy transformed into lotus flowers. Each petal contained sharp sword energy, and in an instant, it slashed towards the Deer Demon King!
Meanwhile, the Deer Demon King was already entangled by Cai Kang and Zheng Jun, and had no way to pay attention to Lu Zhenglin's sword energy. In an instant, dozens of deep, bone-revealing bloodstains were slashed across its demon body!
"Hi~!"

The Deer Demon King was in great pain. His massive demon body looked at the three people around him, and he was immediately enraged. He roared, "Despicable humans, what kind of skill is it to fight one against three? If you're so capable, let's fight one against one!"

Zheng Jun sneered, and the Dragon Abyss Blade rang out: "Little Deer, today is the day you are executed!"

With that, the Dragon Abyss Blade rang out of its sheath, its blade carrying a golden torrent of 'Radiant Sunlight' at its peak, and slashed straight at the Deer Demon King's head.

Lu Zhenglin pointed his sword at the sky, and the Azure Sword Domain suddenly contracted, unleashing thousands of sword energies like a torrential rain, sealing off the Deer Demon King's retreat.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Previously, the Deer Demon King was the main attacker, while Prince Qin, Li Xun, blocked their retreat.

Now Zheng Jun is the main attacker, while Lu Zhenglin is blocking their retreat.

At the same time, Cai Kang laughed loudly, and the power of stars burst forth from his sleeves, forming a dazzling array of stars and chains!

"Click..."

The void trembled, and star chains descended from the clouds, instantly binding the Deer Demon King's four hooves.

Upon seeing this supernatural power, Zheng Jun's eyes flashed with excitement.

This supernatural ability was not recorded in the Cai family's records.

Similar to 'Swift Meteor', Zheng Jun felt a strong sense of déjà vu from it, except that 'Swift Meteor' was a magic technique of escape, while Cai Kang was obviously not using any kind of magic technique of escape.

This seems to be a kind of celestial supernatural power that Cai Kang developed on his own, based on the 'swift meteor'.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but gasp. He slashed with his Longyuan Blade again, thinking to himself, "It seems Cai Kangzhen wasn't lying to me. He really doesn't want to follow the path of 'ruler of the world'... But I can steal a supernatural ability from him and learn from him later."

So-called supernatural powers are an extension of the 'Tao'.

Cai Kang wanted to condense the 'Starry Sky Wanderer' Dharma form, so naturally he needed to have some understanding of the power of stars. This divine ability was naturally a bonus that came with his understanding. The Deer Demon King roared and struggled, its red horns bursting forth with demonic fire that scorched the chains, but the stars on the chains flowed, actually repelling the demonic fire back!

"How dare the humans bully me?!"

The Deer Demon King's demon core spun wildly, and its flesh and blood writhed, healing the wounds inflicted by the sword energy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It suddenly raised its head, and crimson lightning gathered from its red horns, which it then blasted towards Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun neither dodged nor evaded; instead, his sword stance changed, and the "Green Water Slaying the Dragon" technique unleashed its power from the blade's edge, colliding with the thunderstorm.

In the shockwave of the explosion, he used the momentum to rush forward and slashed the Deer Demon King in the chest with his sword, splashing demon blood everywhere!

Lu Zhenglin seized the opportunity, his sword flashing like lightning, and thrust straight at the Deer Demon King's left eye.

The Deer Demon King dodged to the side, but his right eye was pierced by the sword energy, and his demonic energy went berserk amidst a miserable howl.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cai Kang activated the Star Chains, suppressing his demonic power by 30%.

"You are seeking death!"

The Deer Demon King went completely mad. In the blink of an eye, his right eye, which had been pierced by the sword energy, and his chest, which had been slashed by Zheng Jun, recovered to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crimson flames of his demon core surged tenfold, melting cracks into the Star Chains.

"So hard to kill?"

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun was speechless.

Although the deer demon king was beaten to a pulp by the three of them, its abnormal recovery speed made Zheng Jun feel... that it was indeed a bit difficult to kill.
Just then, a sharp shriek came from not far away.

But all that could be seen was Li Xun holding a halberd, laughing maniacally: "I am the true dragon, how dare you ants kill the heavens!"

After saying that, he suddenly bit his tongue and spat out blood, and the phantom of the Divine Martial Emperor faintly appeared behind him!

"break!"

Li Xun, brimming with ferocity, cleaved through the rain with a single halberd strike, shattering Wu Liyang's white tiger phantom and forcing Wu Liyang to retreat.

Meanwhile, the Deer Demon King also took the opportunity to burn his essence blood, causing the crimson flames of his demon core to surge, temporarily breaking through the sword domain and star lock.

Zheng Jun would not allow them to catch their breath.
Seeing this, Zheng Jun immediately said sternly, "Senior Lu, I'd like to trouble you to help Wu Suzhou and hold off Li Xun. I'll come back to help you after I've killed this scoundrel!"

Having said that, Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all. Looking at the soldiers around him who were already fighting fiercely, he disregarded everything and took out the Dragon Abyss Blade to slash at the Dragon Guard!
Zheng Jun unleashed a slash, and the Dragon Abyss Blade burst forth with a golden torrent that swept across the front of the Dragon Guard like a raging wave. Hundreds of heavily armored soldiers were instantly shredded, their flesh and blood flying everywhere!
Zheng Jun seized the opportunity and shouted, "Cangdao Army, advance! Xiaoguo Army, form ranks before me!"

Military orders are absolute. Fifty thousand Cangdao soldiers, their swords like a forest, pressed forward en masse, their blades flashing like snow, cleaving through the rain and sweeping towards the Jinglong Guard.

Meanwhile, the Xiaoguo army quickly contracted its formation, slamming heavy shields into the ground and pointing long spears diagonally, forming an iron wall with Zheng Jun at the center.

With the military support, Zheng Jun's body shone with golden light, and his supernatural powers were pushed to their limit, even faintly forming a blurry imperial phantom above his head!

Zheng Jun has been cultivating the earth veins in Lanzhou and has already begun to be able to influence them!

Furthermore, the shimmering sunlight and fleeting shadows are all divine powers of the emperor, which naturally arouses the imperial aura.

Emperor Gaozu of Wei and Emperor Taizu of Yu.

These two peerless martial artists, who have already attained the Dharma form of "Lord of the World," naturally possess signature supernatural abilities that align with the path of the Dharma form of "Lord of the World."

Upon seeing this, King Li Xun of Qin was even more furious: "You lowly creature, how dare you claim to be superior?"

Having said that, he swept his gilded dragon halberd horizontally, intending to kill Zheng Jun.

However, Lu Zhenglin's cyan sword energy was already entwined within it like rain, and Lu Zhenglin's sword light fell like a silver river. He chuckled and said, "King Qin, let's fight."

"Damn it, damn it!"

King Qin, Li Xun, was furious and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Zhenglin.

Wu Liyang, who had just been forced back, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then attacked with his gun.

This Prince Qin, Li Xun, is acting very strangely.

With demonic energy rampant, if he were to gain control of the world, the human race's empire would be doomed!

It doesn't matter who wins the throne, except for Li Xun!

The rain poured down, and the world was bleak and desolate.

When the Deer Demon King saw Zheng Jun assemble an army of 50,000, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

'This child is no ordinary half-step Yuan Dan cultivator. If the battle continues, the outcome may change!'

The Deer Demon King's demonic eyes flashed, and he immediately let out a fierce howl, his demonic energy surging as he tried to transform into a bloody light and escape.

Li Xun is crazy, but he's not.

Although he has an extremely strong recovery ability, Zheng Jun's formation is enough to unleash the power of the Yuan Dan. In addition, the enemy has so many Yuan Dan. Li Xun has already lost this battle. If he doesn't leave now, when will he?
"Want to leave?!"

Cai Kang let out a cold shout, and his figure suddenly appeared in mid-air. As his sleeves billowed, the power of stars poured out like a celestial river!

"Sleepy!"

With a soft shout from Cai Kang, seventy-two star chains descended from the void, each containing the suppressive power of a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, instantly binding the Deer Demon King's limbs, horns, and neck, and even piercing into its demon core!
The Deer Demon King roared and struggled, but found himself unable to move. Enraged, he hissed, "Cai Kang! You're courting death—!"

The demon king's core spun wildly, its flesh and blood writhing as it tried to break free of its restraints, but Zheng Jun would never give it that chance.
"cut!"

Zheng Jun raised his Longyuan Blade high, and the blood and energy of 50,000 soldiers converged, causing the blade to unleash a dazzling golden light, like the sun falling!
A golden torrent, carrying the force of burning the heavens, fiercely slashed towards the head of the Deer Demon King!

The Deer Demon King's demonic eyes shrank sharply. Suppressed by the star chains, he could only spit out his natal demon core to withstand the attack.

"boom--!!!"

The moment the demon core collided with the golden light, the rain evaporated into mist. The soldiers who were fighting were immediately shocked by this force and collapsed one after another. The Deer Demon King let out a miserable howl as half of his antlers was cut off, and his demon blood splashed across the sky!

Li Xun's expression was extremely solemn. He swept his gilded dragon halberd wildly, and the demonic energy transformed into a black dragon to try to save the Deer Demon King, but it was cut off by Lu Zhenglin's sword: "King Qin, your opponent is me!"

The Deer Demon King's antlers were broken, and fear was evident in his demonic eyes.

The antlers contained considerable divine power of the Deer Demon King. Now that they are broken, it is equivalent to a human Yuan Dan losing his weapon. Although he is still a demon king and a Yuan Dan, his killing power is much weaker.

The Deer Demon King was not good at killing. He was a deer demon who had attained enlightenment. His greatest strength was his recovery ability. He was originally intended to act as a tank to withstand attacks, while the King of Qin, an extreme killer, would deal damage.

Unexpectedly, after Zheng Jun formed his ranks, he possessed a killing power no less than that of a Yuan Dan Martial Saint, and the opponent also had three Yuan Dan Martial Saints, which immediately disrupted their plans.

"Whoo~"

Cai Kang stood to the side, panting heavily.

To 'hard-control' a demon king at the Yuan Dan realm requires a considerable amount of effort.

"Grandfather, well done!"

Zheng Jun, having enjoyed the killing, immediately said to Cai Kang, "Let's do it again!"

Zheng Jun certainly got a good beating.

The Deer Demon King was under Cai Kang's 'hard control' and was completely unable to move.

In this way, Zheng Jun could accumulate power to his heart's content, which was no different from shooting at a target.

If you have this ability, why didn't you use it just now? You were just trying to slow down the opponent.

Upon hearing this, Cai Kang's face darkened.

Again?

Just as the Deer Demon King was about to transform into a beam of light and escape, Zheng Jun had already drawn his sword and formed a battle formation. Cai Kang could only frown and his hands surged with star power. The star chains instantly condensed from the void in front of the Deer Demon King and wrapped around him!

This time, Cai Kang actually opened a spatial rift and suddenly launched an attack with the Star Chains to block the Deer Demon King's escape route!

As he felt the star chains binding him once more, and his hooves felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, a nameless fire suddenly rose in the Deer Demon King's heart.

Damn it, Cai Kang is disgusting!
The Cai family of Bozhou is known for their escape techniques and qi-swallowing techniques, but I have never heard of them having this move before!
Even on the battlefield of Ima Province, such a thing was rarely heard of!
This Cai Kang is far too insidious!

The Deer Demon King channeled all his demonic energy to try and break free of the chains, but Zheng Jun's next strike was already fully formed!
"cut!"

Zheng Jun slashed down with his sword, and a golden torrent, like divine punishment, slashed down towards the Deer Demon King's enormous demon body!
In the blink of an eye, the sword light was like a waterfall, cleaving the Deer Demon King's body in two with overwhelming force!

The giant red-horned deer, which was tens of feet long, was instantly split in two, and its demonic blood cascaded down the battlefield amidst the torrential rain.

However, the moment the demon's body split open, a beam of azure light suddenly shot out from the remains, revealing a small azure deer, only as tall as an adult, its four hooves treading on the air, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the outer edge of the battlefield!

"Soul leaving the body? No, not the soul essence, this is like a gecko shedding its tail?!"

Zheng Jun's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized that the Deer Demon King had abandoned ninety percent of his demon body and condensed all his essence into this deer body to escape!

The demon body is still a demon body, but it has suffered tremendous damage!
This time, the Deer Demon King lost at least a hundred years of cultivation.

Although demons usually have a longer lifespan than humans, hundreds of years of cultivation is still a considerable loss for the Deer Demon King.

"Trying to leave?!"

Cai Kang gave a cold shout, and the Star Chains in his sleeve erupted once more, twisting towards Qinglu like a net from heaven and earth.

However, Qinglu was incredibly fast, managing to dart through a gap before the chains closed in, and at the same time let out a fierce roar: "Zheng Jun! I will repay the debt of my severed body a hundredfold today!"

"Chase!"

Lu Zhenglin's sword light was like a rainbow, slashing straight at the hind hoof of the green deer. But the green deer suddenly turned its head, and the remaining demonic power of its red horn exploded into a bolt of blood lightning, forcibly forcing back the sword light.

Wu Liyang raised his spear to intercept, but was blocked by Qin King Li Xun's gilded dragon halberd: "Your opponent is me!"

In the blink of an eye, the green deer had vanished into the depths of the rain.

Zheng Jun's gaze was gloomy, but he did not pursue the matter further.

This Yuan Dan Martial Saint is incredibly difficult to kill; how can he not be killed?!
Although the Deer Demon King escaped, his strength was greatly reduced after abandoning his demon body, and he is not a threat in the short term.

But there is an even greater threat right now!
The Demon King could have waited until he had forced Li Xun to retreat or even killed him before searching for the deer.

If you can run, the monk can't run the temple!
"Li Xun!" Zheng Jun pointed his knife at the King of Qin, "Your turn next!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Xun laughed wildly, demonic energy surging from his halberd: "I'd like to see what you, you little thief, can do!"

Before he finished speaking, a small, pitch-black cauldron suddenly flew out from his sleeve. The cauldron was covered with ferocious demonic patterns. As soon as it appeared, it swelled up in the wind and transformed into a giant cauldron a hundred feet long, which crashed down in the center of the battlefield!

"boom--!"

The Demon Cauldron landed, and the shockwave exploded, forcing Zheng Jun, Lu Zhenglin, Cai Kang, and Wu Liyang back a hundred feet at the same time.

The magical patterns on the cauldron flowed, forming a pitch-black barrier that completely isolated the battlefield.

"The Mysterious Heavenly Demon Cauldron?!"

Lu Zhenglin's pupils contracted sharply, and he whispered, "This item was the supreme treasure of the Divine Martial Emperor when he suppressed the Northern Demon Court. How could it be in his hands?!"

Before the others could break through the barrier, Li Xun grinned maliciously, his demonic energy surging and transforming into a jet-black beam of light, condensed to its extreme. In an instant, it pierced through the rain and chased after the direction in which the Deer Demon King had fled.

Cai Kang roared angrily, and the Star Chains lashed out at the Demon Cauldron, but the demonic patterns on the cauldron rebounded, deflecting all the chains.

"No need to chase!"

Lu Zhenglin sheathed his flying sword and said coldly, "This demonic cauldron can seal us for at least half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Li Xun is clearly using this cauldron to buy time so that he can escape."

"This cauldron is a remarkable magical artifact. It seems that Li Xun abandoned it here to avoid being seriously injured... This guy, although he seems crazy because he's been infused with demonic energy, he's quite clever when he's trying to escape."

Cai Kang chuckled lightly.

Wu Liyang, who was standing to the side, remained silent and did not speak.

Upon seeing this situation, Zheng Jun immediately made a decisive decision and said, "Seniors, whether we can accomplish this in one battle depends on today!"

"I urge Senior Cai to stay here and gather my troops to surround and kill or recruit these Jinglong Guards. Wu Suzhou and Senior Lu, I will immediately mobilize all the Tongqiao and Waigang martial artists in the army to rush to Shenjing as quickly as possible and block the path of the Prince of Qin and the Deer Demon King at the city walls!"

Zheng Jun immediately said, "These two thieves have exhausted their true energy this time, definitely more than we have. In addition, they are bound to return to Shenkang County to organize a large army. We have a high chance of stopping them!"

Zheng Jun refused to believe that Prince Qin, Li Xun, could abandon all his troops and flee back to the capital alone!

If that's the case, it doesn't matter.

The deer demon king was already severely injured. How fast could he run after abandoning his demon body? Almost instantly!
Stopping the Deer Demon King and killing him would have the same effect!
After hearing Zheng Jun's words, the three of them thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"it is good!"

However, everyone clearly had their own plans, especially Cai Kang, who was speechless to himself: 'When he needs me to hold off that demon king, he's Grandfather; when he doesn't, he's Senior Cai? This kid is really pragmatic.'

However, Cai Kang had nothing to say about Zheng Jun's thoughts.

He must stay.

He was most closely associated with Zheng Jun.

If Wu Liyang were to be left behind, no one knew what would happen to the army afterward.

After all, a Yuan Dan Martial Saint in the army is enough to suppress everything. It is not uncommon for the army to change hands after fabricating military intelligence.
