Desolate Era: The Ultimate Rogue Cultivator Who Hides Among the Heavens!

……

[Earth-遁术 Experience Points +1]

【…】

As dawn broke, Han Feiyu finally stopped practicing his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique for escaping underground).

It popped out of the ground with a whoosh.

This scene impressed Meng Shi and the other two; they really had mastered the art of earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) to the point of near death.

"Let's go."

Without stopping, Han Feiyu summoned his flying sword and soared into the air.

"Wow, you're so energetic!"

"As expected of the Divine Demon Body Refinement Technique."

Meng Shi and the other two sighed inwardly, and then flew away on their swords.

Three hours later.

The city of Tuozui, filled with dark, malevolent energy and resentment, came into view.

"These rat demons have eaten countless people," Meng Shi sighed as he looked down at the ruins of Tuozui City.

This place was originally a bustling city.

But decades ago, the Demon King arrived here with his rat demon minions...

"Let's go down first." Han Feiyu glanced at Tuozui City. Even when the sun was at its brightest, it couldn't break through the layer of dark, malevolent energy. It was truly terrifying.

"Brother Meng, you should tell those two to find a place to hide."

"it is good."

Meng Shi knew the journey was dangerous, so he immediately began to communicate telepathically.

Meng Sanmu and Meng Chuan glanced at Han Feiyu and Meng Shi, then flew away from them.

With no more burdens, Han Feiyu could finally focus on finding the Demon-Devouring King.

"out."

Han Feiyu also unleashed the sinful magic weapon, the Blood Banner, which instantly enveloped him and Meng Shi, with a bloody and resentful aura masking their human presence.

"escape!"

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi both used their earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape underground) technique and disappear directly underground.

Splash...

Having only penetrated a few dozen feet underground, Han Feiyu's spiritual power detected the aura of a powerful innate demon, "and a dozen or so lesser demons..."

"go."

He summoned a flying sword with his divine sense, which instantly pierced through the cave passage.

With a loud bang.

The dozen or so Acquired Perfection Rat Demons, located several hundred meters below Han Feiyu and Meng Shi, were instantly killed.

A divine thought instantly enveloped the innate-level rat demon.

Wow.

call out.

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi then appeared. With a loud boom, the magic weapon Water Control Ring washed the ground, and the fire dragon of the spell "Yin Yang Emperor Dragon" dried the ground. The remaining evil energy and blood energy were absorbed by the Blood Banner.

"Phew~~~"

Han Feiyu rolled up the large rat, which was at the innate level, and hid it in another cave passage that was about ten meters high.

"Squeak..."

Then came the faint squeaking of mice.

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi then disappeared underground once again.

The soil in this Rat Demon Kingdom wasn't any special land, so the two of them could naturally travel underground at will.

A moment later...

The large black rat that had been covering itself with its divine sense also looked at Han Feiyu and Meng Shi, the two human cultivators, in terror.

"Do you want to live or die?"

Han Feiyu asked a question, and since this rat demon was already at the Innate Realm, it could naturally hear human speech.

"Spare me, spare me! I want to live!" This was a large black rat with bright eyes, but now it spoke in human language, hurriedly kneeling down and begging for mercy. "Great Immortal, spare me! Great Immortal, spare me! I have never intentionally killed any human cultivators!"

"I want to live, I want to live!"

Upon hearing this answer, Han Feiyu and Meng Shi exchanged a smile, seemingly pleased with how smoothly things had gone.

"Alright, as long as you obey, I guarantee you can live." Han Feiyu looked at the sensible rat demon with burning murderous intent.

"Yes, yes..."

The big black rat nodded quickly.

"Where is the residence of your Great King, the Demon Devourer? Are there any formations around it? How many Innate Realm cultivators are left in your Rat Demon Clan...?" Han Feiyu asked a series of questions.

And the big black rat told them everything.

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi were also somewhat surprised. This Demon-Devouring King was really cautious. Not only did he live in an underground cave more than two thousand meters deep, but he also set up a formation around his residence.

Are rats at the Purple Mansion Perfection level so clever that they even know how to form formations?

"Formations... Brother Meng, do you know anything about them?"

Han Feiyu was unfamiliar with formations, so he could only pin his hopes on Meng Shi, who had lived for over two hundred years.

Meng Shi's expression was solemn. "I only know a little bit, I can't be considered an expert, so I'm not really capable of breaking the formation."

Once an unusually powerful aura approaches a certain distance limit in the Demon-Devouring King's formation, it will trigger an alert, at which point the Demon-Devouring King will be alert and flee.

That would be bad.

"Great Immortal".

The big black rat suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi both looked over.

"I know the King's formation has weaknesses." The black rat's words surprised Han Feiyu and Meng Shi. "But you must promise not to harm me or my sons."

"interesting."

Han Feiyu looked at the rat demon with great interest. It really did have some intelligence. She couldn't help but ask with a smile, "You have a plan?"

"I have it." The big black rat's tone became firm. "As long as the two great immortals guarantee the safety of me and my sons, I will tell you."

Han Feiyu looked into its eyes, then his expression hardened: "Fine, I swear on my Dao heart, if you reveal anything useful, I can spare you and your sons..."

"That formation can be affected by magical artifacts and rare objects," the big black rat said immediately. "As long as there is an advanced magical artifact or a rare object with extraordinary energy around, other auras become indistinguishable."

"I can bring the magic weapon to see the king, then you two immortals can take action directly."

"This rat demon is quite intelligent," Han Feiyu thought, then asked a question, "Are you so sure I can kill your king?"

"The power that the immortal just used was probably divine sense, right?"

The big black rat revealed the secret: "I have witnessed it, so I know that a powerful being like an immortal must be confident in killing my king at that distance."

"Tsk." Han Feiyu looked at Meng Shi with a smile.

Meng Shi also laughed and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but I didn't expect a rat demon to have such insight. Brother Han, you really surprise me."

Meng Shi stopped pretending.

When Han Feiyu captured the giant black rat, he knew that Han Feiyu's soul was so powerful that it had awakened divine sense.

But I never expected that a rat demon at the innate level would have such insight...

"Okay." Han Feiyu didn't explain and directly took out a fiery red magic weapon flying sword.

Wow~

The power of the magical flying sword dissipated instantly.

"This flying sword is a high-grade human-level magic weapon, it should be enough for you to fool that formation, right?" Han Feiyu threw it directly to the big black rat, and at the same time dispersed his divine sense.

He had another flying sword like this.

This is a set of dual swords, representing the same source of water and fire, and is one of the treasures of the carp spirit, "Lingxian Daojun".

"That's enough, that's enough."

The big black rat nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let's go now." Han Feiyu said, unable to resist the urge to deal with the rat demon 'Demon Devourer King' immediately.

But then the big black rat spoke up again.

"Great Immortal, no, I just went out on patrol. It's impossible for me to return to the cave so quickly. I need to stay for at least a few hours." The big black rat waved its hand and shook its head, looking at Han Feiyu and the other person with a humble tone.

Han Feiyu and Meng Shi exchanged a glance.

Then Han Feiyu said, "Then let's wait..."
