#605 - Sowing discord
This moment of betrayal and sacrifice bought the rogue cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage a chance to breathe.
Suppressing his pain, he spat out a mouthful of blood, using it to cast a secret art, attempting to tear through the void and escape.
However, the Evil Dragon Clan's Demon King had long anticipated this, and with a cold laugh, his body surged with evil energy, his speed increasing explosively, instantly catching up to the human cultivator.
"Humans, truly selfish and self-serving, only knowing how to protect themselves in times of crisis."
The Demon King's voice was as cold as ice, laced with a hint of mockery, "But before my Evil Dragon Clan, your struggles are merely futile."
Having said that, he unfurled his form, intending to completely obliterate this rogue cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Li Chengfeng in the distance, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, was it pity, or helplessness towards the cruelty of the world?
The Evil Dragon Clan's Demon King's laughter echoed in the air, full of confidence and cruelty: "Hong Tao, you think a mere Blood Escape Technique can allow you to escape from the hands of my Evil Dragon Clan's Demon King?
That's simply a fool's dream! Your Nascent Soul, I am determined to obtain it, it will become my stepping stone to advance my strength!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Tao's face turned as pale as paper, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.
He knew that he had no way to retreat, and could only take a desperate gamble. Thus, he gritted his teeth, his hands tightly gripping the half of the broken sword, the strange light on the sword becoming increasingly dazzling, as if it could devour all life.
"Demon King, don't push people too far! Although I, Hong Tao, am a rogue cultivator, I am not someone to be slaughtered! If you force me further, I will perish together with this broken sword, so that you will not obtain my Nascent Soul either!"
Hong Tao's voice was filled with determination, his essence blood constantly pouring into the broken sword, causing the blood-colored light on the sword to intensify greatly, a terrifying pressure that made one's heart palpitate spreading out.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Dragon Clan's Demon King's pupils suddenly constricted, he could feel the destructive power contained within this force, and a trace of fear couldn't help but arise in his heart.
However, as a Demon King, how could he easily retreat? Thus, with a thought, he commanded the dozen or so Evil Dragons behind him to form a grand formation, surrounding Hong Tao tightly, attempting to overwhelm the opponent with numerical superiority.
The Demon King himself transformed into a human form, holding a blood-colored giant spear, the tip of the spear pointing directly at Hong Tao, and said in a cold voice: "Kill!"
With his order, the Evil Dragon Formation was launched violently, however, Hong Tao had already taken the lead and swung out that blood-colored sword芒.
The sword芒 pierced through the air, its speed as fast as lightning, wherever it passed, the Tier 2 Evil Dragons stiffened one after another, and then fell, the blood energy on their bodies like a torrent being attracted, frantically pouring into the broken sword.
The power of the broken sword soared again, pointing directly at the Evil Dragon Demon King.
Upon seeing this, the Demon King had no choice but to take a step back in the air, a complex light flashing in his huge triangular eyes, obviously weighing the power of this sword.
Hong Tao held the broken sword, the blood-colored light flickering around him, he sneered.
He said to the Evil Dragon Demon King: "This is what you forced me to do! Although I am now at the end of my rope, this sword is more than enough to kill you! The sensible ones should get out of the way, we will mind our own business.
We rogue cultivators came here for resources, and we don't want to die for the Gongsun family.
I swear, after leaving this place, I will never return to the battlefield!"
The Evil Dragon Demon King was silent for a moment, and finally snorted coldly, retracting the blood-colored giant spear.
He knew very well that if he really fought Hong Tao to the death, although he could win, he would also pay a considerable price.
Weighing the pros and cons, he chose to retreat.
Just as the two of them reached an agreement and thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, the sky suddenly changed, and a figure wearing a black robe appeared silently in the middle of them.
This black-robed man exuded an unspeakable strange aura, and the one he held tightly in his hand was the Gongsun family's well-known spirit treasure — the Yin-Yang Mirror, the Yin-Yang energy on the mirror slowly flowing, as if containing the most ancient power in the world.
Upon seeing this, the Evil Dragon Demon King's face instantly turned ashen, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart.
He knew very well that compared with the Yin-Yang Mirror, although the half of the broken sword in Hong Tao's hand was strong, it needed to be at the cost of his own essence blood, and its power was difficult to predict.
However, the Yin-Yang Mirror could instantly reverse the world, separating people from Yin and Yang, and causing them to be destroyed forever.
Li Chengfeng looked at the Evil Dragon Demon King, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, his tone with disdain: "Evil Dragon Clan, that's all it is.
You dare to be so arrogant on my human race's territory, do you really think that my Gongsun family has no one?"
Let me tell you, my Gongsun family has united with all forces, preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack against your Evil Dragon Clan, to let you know what true despair is."
Having said that, Li Chengfeng raised the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand, and saw a blazing light shooting out from the mirror, like lightning piercing through the night sky, heading straight for the Evil Dragon Demon King.
Upon seeing this, the Demon King's evil energy soared to the sky, attempting to escape, but the surrounding air seemed to be solidified by an invisible force, and a heavy pressure firmly bound him.
This was precisely the gravity field displayed by Li Chengfeng, originating from the Power Inheritance in his Ancient Demon Inheritance, so powerful that the Demon King was caught off guard.
He was directly hit by the blazing beam of light, instantly turning into a red flame and green smoke, even the Nascent Soul failed to escape, leaving only a remnant soul to tear through the air and escape.
Li Chengfeng smiled, a hint of cunning revealed in his eyes.
He deliberately let go of that remnant soul, the purpose was to let the other party bring false news back to the Evil Dragon Clan's headquarters, claiming that the Gongsun family had repaired the Yin-Yang Mirror, and planned to gather the power of the entire clan to suppress the Evil Dragon Clan.
In this way, not only could they disrupt the Evil Dragon Clan's morale, but also force them to expose their trump cards in advance, creating favorable conditions for the Gongsun family's subsequent layout.
Hong Tao witnessed all of this, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He recognized Li Chengfeng's identity, knowing that this was a strong man from the Gongsun family, and while he was grateful, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He cupped his hands and asked Li Chengfeng: "I wonder which elder of the Gongsun family this adult is? To be able to drive such a powerful Yin-Yang Mirror is truly admirable."
However, Li Chengfeng did not give him a good look, but just snorted coldly.
His tone was obviously contemptuous: "Hmph, a few Evil Dragon Clan members forced you to this point, and you even wanted to sacrifice the lives of your colleagues to save yourself.
A person like you is just wasting resources by living. My Gongsun family never disdains to associate with such stupid people."
Hong Tao's face changed like a palette, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
First, he risked his life for the Gongsun family, but in return, he received such sarcasm and disdain; second, facing Li Chengfeng, who held the Yin-Yang Mirror and was awe-inspiring, although he was unwilling, he also knew that he was powerless to resist.
He tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "What the adult said is true, thank you adult for saving my life.
I don't know the adult's name, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and repay you well in the future."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng's sneer became even worse, his eyes full of disdain: "You are worthy to know my name? Based on your actions of killing your colleagues just now, I am enough to take your dog's life.
You rogue cultivators are just a group of ants who crawl at the feet of my Gongsun family for spirit stones, it's really disgusting."
The anger in Hong Tao's heart was instantly ignited, he didn't expect that he would risk his life for the Gongsun family, but in the end, he would be insulted like this.
But reason told him that he couldn't be impulsive at this moment.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said respectfully: "What the adult said is true, I know my mistake. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
However, Li Chengfeng did not intend to let him go easily, he stared at Hong Tao coldly, and said: "Want to leave? It's not that easy.
My Gongsun family doesn't need scum like you to live in this world.
Rogue cultivators are all trash, today I will kill you, and use your Nascent Soul to nourish my Yin-Yang Mirror."
