#189 - Oh! There are really people who are not afraid of death and come to force their way in.
"Are you confident?" Ling Xiao asked.
"A little," Xu Chengxian replied.
"…A little?" Ling Yunzi's eyelids twitched.
"Yes! I'm confident!" Xu Chengxian quickly said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll take you and run! I guarantee even a demon general won't be able to stop us, I promise!"
"…Then I'll trust you this once," Ling Xiao said after a moment of silence.
Retreating was definitely not an option.
If they let go of this opportunity, who could guarantee they'd be so lucky next time?
On the path of cultivation, one must seize resources with all their might at every opportunity.
Otherwise, it would be like sailing against the current, only falling further and further behind.
Therefore, even if a demon general blocked their path, they had to try!
"Great!" Xu Chengxian laughed, "Then quickly find the weakness in this formation, and we'll prepare to charge!"
"No need to find it."
"No need to find it?"
"Shuairan's innate talent isn't about finding flaws and weaknesses to break the formation."
"Huh?"
"It's about stepping into the formation; wherever we go, that's where the formation breaks!"
"…Awesome!"
The three immediately began planning how to proceed with the battle.
There was no need for argument, nor for overly detailed plans.
They only needed to divide the responsibilities among themselves.
The longer they delayed, the worse it would be for them.
From the moment the teleportation array activated and they arrived here, witnessing the demon generals fighting, until now, only the time it takes to eat a meal had passed.
More than half of that time was spent watching the Nine-Headed Bird, the Fire Scale Python, and the Three-Headed Feathered Serpent fight.
In fact, from the time General Si attacked and killed the Clam Spirit until now, only a moment had passed.
The surrounding great demons were still burning with anger at this demon general, who acted eccentrically, arrogantly, and spoke offensively.
Their desire to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm was still strong.
If they charged over, perhaps some great demons would follow suit.
If a free-for-all broke out, it would alleviate some of the pressure.
If they waited for this momentum to dissipate, some would definitely lose heart.
Therefore,
very quickly,
the three of them came to an agreement.
Xu Chengxian shrank in size, transforming back into a small snake, barely thicker than a chopstick.
Just as General Si descended from mid-air, he quickly went to greet him.
"An alliance? Hmph." General Si snorted disdainfully.
An alliance was impossible.
If they really intended to form an alliance and work together to pass the trial, they wouldn't be huddling together like this.
They would be testing each other with divine sense transmissions.
"Although it's difficult to use divine sense extensively in this place, they're not far apart."
They had the courage to confront a demon general, so why would they be afraid of wasting a little divine sense?
The more they gathered in one place like this, the less courage they had.
"They're just a rabble."
They were just trying to bluff and force him to back down, were they?
Ridiculous!
"The General is right," Jin Hong flattered, "These great demons don't come from the same place, let alone agree on an alliance in a few words."
The Northern Wasteland was divided into four.
Half of the demons who came here were from the Northern Demon Realm guarded by the Dragon King.
The other half came from the east, west, and south.
"Besides, even if they were familiar with each other, facing the General's power, they probably wouldn't dare to trust that the other would advance and retreat with them, right?"
"Haha, not bad, you are indeed quite clever." General Si was very pleased with the flattery.
"I dare not accept the General's praise," Jin Hong quickly cupped his fist. "It's just, if they keep standing still like this, wouldn't it tire the General to wait?"
"It's only three days, it'll pass in the blink of an eye. If they want to use the teleportation array to go to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, they'll have to obediently come to me," General Si said, narrowing his eyes.
What was the rush?
In his eyes, those great demons were just mice he could crush at will.
He would just play with them.
Including the one in front of him.
He glanced at Jin Hong and added with a fake smile, "But since you have the heart, go ahead and say a few words."
He thought, if this kid wants to show off, let him.
When he's envied and killed, that's his bad luck.
It'll save me the trouble of doing it myself.
…
"Haha! This kid doesn't really think that as long as the great demons obey, we'll let them pass, does he?"
After Jin Hong soared into the air and began advising the surrounding great demons to quickly come forward and hand over the dragon eggs for the demon general to inspect, one of the demon generals couldn't help but transmit a mocking message to General Si.
"Hey! Some petty cleverness is useless," General Si said with a sinister smile, "Let him go."
If he could really trick a few out, that would be good too.
It would be fun to play with them.
After speaking, he casually added, "If he can't trick anyone out, I'll find an excuse to kill him first."
Jin Hong had come to him on his own accord, and he had no friendship with him.
Saving him was just a matter of convenience.
Killing him was also a matter of convenience.
At that time, he didn't get the dragon egg and didn't bother to continue searching.
He not only didn't want to return empty-handed, but also wanted to gain something in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
So what to do?
He had no choice but to set his sights on the other great demons.
He grabbed Jin Hong, thinking that the other party had a dragon egg on him.
As a result, it was a wasted effort.
At this time, after Jin Hong spoke, several other great demons came forward.
They seemed to want to step forward.
"Oh? This kid has a silver tongue!" The demon general who had spoken earlier said again.
"Ha! If this little guy didn't speak so pleasantly, I wouldn't have kept him until now," General Si said with a smile, narrowing his eyes, "And I must thank him for giving me this good idea."
One failed robbery made him understand that robbing a single great demon might not be fruitful.
He also realized that even if he did get something, the dragon egg he obtained might not be to his liking.
Moreover, this was meaningless.
Very boring.
Then, he thought that he might as well block the path of all the great demons and have them take out the dragon eggs for him to choose from.
Pick the best one.
Subdue all the great demons and then tease them.
He would take the unlucky one who was chosen with him.
When they arrived at the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he would kill them.
Giving hope and then erasing it would be extremely interesting.
But to do this, he had to prevent the other demon generals from interfering.
He wasn't familiar with the other four demon generals either.
However, once they reached the demon general realm, they all came from under the rule of the Dragon King.
Even if they had no friendship, they had all heard of each other's names to some extent.
After meeting, they could all strike up a conversation.
Thus, everyone happily reached a consensus—to keep all the great demons in the Emperor's Tomb.
"Hehe." General Si said with a smile, "When these little mouse-like snakes all come out and bring their things up, I'll pinch them to death one by one."
Their expressions before they die must be very interesting.
Wailing and begging for mercy, or angrily cursing?
In short, it will be very lively.
"Most of the great demons who come here are from the dragon and snake lineage, the snake and python clan. Most of them have snake heads, snake bodies, or snake tails. When they are pinched to death, they will curl up and wrap around my wrist, soft and weak, very fun."
Of the other four demon generals, two were meditating, and the other two did not respond.
They were all of the same realm, so there was no need to flatter anyone.
Although they all felt that General Si was somewhat sick, what he did was not only harmless to them, but also beneficial.
Why say more?
At this time, they sensed movement ahead.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
Two figures were rapidly approaching, riding on demon clouds.
"Hmm?"
General Si, who was having fun, paused his smile, then smiled even more brightly.
"Heh! There really are those who aren't afraid of death and dare to barge in!"
