Chapter 1922: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
Without Tieyu's help, Han Li just needed to slightly activate the sword formation to kill many transformed monsters.
In the blink of an eye, only the three one-horned men and four or five transformed monsters in the late Golden Immortal stage were left in the sword formation.
These people had lost their previous arrogance at this moment. They flew together with their backs to each other and worked together to resist the endless golden sword energy.
Han Li snorted coldly upon seeing this, and the sword gestures of his two hands changed again. Sword lights flashed in the sword formation, condensing into a dragon-shaped formation pattern.
The next moment, a terrifying dragon roar was heard, and twelve golden sword dragons sprang out from all directions of the sword formation.
Each of these golden sword dragons is dozens of feet long, and its entire body is made up of the evil-repelling divine thunder and eternal sword energy, emitting huge sword energy fluctuations of the laws of thunder and lightning!
With a blurry figure, the twelve golden sword dragons suddenly appeared near the one-horned man and others. With a roll of their dragon bodies, they entangled the protective shield they had jointly held up.
Then he twisted it fiercely, and the shield that the one-horned man and others tried so hard to maintain exploded with a "bang".
"No! Lord Tieyu, save me!"
"Senior, spare your life!"
"Ah, I don't want to die!"
As soon as the shield was broken, the one-horned man and others immediately faced the power of twelve golden sword dragons. Although their bodies were not weak, they only had time to let out a scream before being strangled into minced meat by the endless sword energy!
They were all turned into ashes by the madly surging evil-repelling divine thunder.
Three Taiyi early stage monsters, plus helpers above a hundred True Immortals, only held out for a few breaths after Han Li cast the sword formation, before they all perished!
Song Yaoguang was stunned as he watched in secret, and finally understood why Luo Hong said that they didn't need to help at all.
"With such strength, it's no wonder that the prince of the demon clan wants to win you over!"
But how could she know that Han Li had not used his full strength at all. If he had used the Wheel of Truth, even a cultivator in the late Taiyi stage would have been killed by him!
"I never thought that the mantis would catch the cicada, and there would be an oriole behind it. Who are you?"
Shi Chuankong had already expected such a result, so he noticed it the moment Luo Hong appeared and controlled Tieyu.
However, he failed to see through Luo Hong's transformation technique and really thought that Luo Hong was a transformed demon beast in this mountain range.
"Such a familiar breath of law."
Although Han Li was unable to see through Luo Hong's true identity, he vaguely recognized Luo Hong's methods. At this moment, he could not help but stare at the yellow-feathered monster that Luo Hong transformed into, revealing a look of doubt.
"Haha, Brother Shi, Fellow Daoist Li, we haven't seen each other for decades, and you don't recognize me, Luo?"
Luo Hong laughed loudly, and cancelled the illusion technique used by him and Song Yaoguang, revealing their true forms.
"Brother Luo! You."
Shi Chuankong was immediately surprised when he saw this. Just as he was about to ask Luo Hong why she came to the Holy Land, he noticed Song Yaoguang standing beside him and immediately stopped talking.
"Let me introduce you two. This is Fairy Song Yaoguang, a good friend of mine in Heaven.
Currently, she is taking part in the Immortal Prison assessment. Only if she captures alive a magical beast with a cultivation level of Taiyi or above in the Ten Suffering Mountains can she return to report.
Luo is her helper on this trip, but unfortunately I am only at the initial stage of Taiyi cultivation and cannot help her much, so I specially came to find you two.
Oh, and congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for successfully advancing to Taiyi. From now on, you have escaped the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and are now free!"
After explaining the general situation, Luo Hong smiled and bowed to Han Lao Mo.
Han Li and Luo Hong had such a tacit understanding that they immediately understood what to do after hearing what he said. After returning the greeting with a smile, he looked at Song Yaoguang and said:
"When she was in Yukun Tower, Fairy Song was only a Golden Immortal cultivator. Now she has broken through to Taiyi and wants to join the Heavenly Palace Immortal Prison. She really has a bright future!"
"The matter of the Immortal Prison has not even started yet, and I need your help."
Song Yaoguang immediately bowed politely.
"Yaoguang, this Brother Shi is the prince of the Saint Clan that Luo told you about. Even though he is only the thirteenth child, he is in charge of Guangyuanzhai, and the power under his command should not be underestimated!"
Luo Hong took the opportunity to introduce Song Yaoguang again.
"My name is Shi Chuankong. Fairy Song is Brother Luo's friend, and therefore my friend. I will take care of the assessment!"
Although Shi Chuankong didn't know what Luo Hong was planning, he would definitely be right if he followed what the other party said.
As for the assessment, why does he need to take action? As long as Luo Hong is willing to show his true strength, won’t it be easy?
"Then I would like to thank you in advance!"
Song Yaoguang was delighted when he heard this.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's leave first and find a private place to talk in detail."
Luo Hong grabbed Tieyu and threw it into the black mist vortex that appeared on the side, then suggested.
Han Li and the other two naturally had no objection to this. They immediately transformed themselves into a beam of light and fled away in another direction.
Several hours later, they finally landed on a very ordinary mountain.
“Although this place is inconspicuous, it is better for you all to enter Li’s cave and sit down to discuss.”
As soon as he landed, Han Li opened the portal to Huazhi Cave Heaven and invited the three people.
"That's great. I've wanted to see it for a long time."
Luo Hong agreed immediately.
So after a while, the four of them sat down cross-legged in an elegant courtyard.
"Brother Luo, please move that Iron Feather out so that I can search its soul and see what the situation is."
As Shi Chuankong spoke, he took out an incense burner and very solemnly took out a red and black incense stick.
Luo Hong nodded upon hearing this, raised his hand and condensed a vortex of black mist above the courtyard, and the next moment Tie Yu's figure fell out of it.
"Let me go! What kind of restriction did you place on me? Why can't I sense my magic power?!
Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me! "
The immobilization spell that had been cast on Tieyu had long expired, but Luo Hong had also sealed all of his magic orifices with the Great Black Sky Thunder. He was now unable to mobilize any magic power at all, and even a True Immortal could suppress him.
Seeing that he was about to reveal his origins, Shi Chuankong stopped lighting the incense and looked at Tieyu and said:
"Oh? Then tell me, where are you from? And why do you want to take Shi's head?"
"I am a general under the command of King Jinxi, the lord of this place. If you kill me, the king will avenge me!
As for why I want to take your head, I am just following the king's orders. Otherwise, according to my style, you foreigners will only turn into a pool of pus in my hands!
If you three want to survive, you must kill this Golden Immortal and hand him over to me, otherwise you will never be able to leave this Ten Suffering Mountains!"
Tieyu glanced at the three Taiyi monks present, and concessions were made to Luo Hong and the other two, pointing out a clear way forward.
"Humph, even now, you still want to alienate us.
Shi already knows your origins, but do you know Shi's origins? ! "
Shi Chuankong's face darkened when he heard this and he spoke in a cold tone.
Tieyu was stunned for a moment. He was just following orders and didn't ask too many questions.
"I'm sorry, you are just an insignificant chess piece. My original name is Shi Chuankong, and I am the thirteenth son of the Holy Lord!
I didn't expect that my eldest brother couldn't wait to start the fight after I just came back. What the hell is going on with Father... Oh!"
Shi Chuankong is not stupid. The Golden Rhino King would never be interested in the head of a mere Golden Immortal like him without a reason. There must be someone behind this.
And in today's Holy Land, the only one who dares to touch a prince is another prince.
So, with a little deduction, he knew who was the mastermind behind it.
After all, the two strongest contenders for the Holy Lord's successor are the eldest prince Shi Zhanfeng and the third prince Shi Pokong, who is his half-brother.
Shi Chuankong's background determined that he naturally belonged to the faction of his third brother Shi Pokong. Plus, he now brought back the sacred object Luo Cha Pipa, so it was natural that he was regarded as a thorn in the eye by his eldest brother Shi Zhanfeng!
"You are actually a highness!"
Tieyu was shocked when he heard this. No matter how much he hated foreigners, he did not dare to attack a demon prince and challenge the authority of the Demon Lord.
"He should have a detailed map of the Ten Suffering Mountains on him. Brother Luo, please search for it."
Shi Chuankong already knew everything he wanted to know, so he stopped paying attention to Tie Yu and looked at Luo Hong.
"It seems that Brother Shi has nothing else to ask. Luo has already found the map. I wonder what Brother Shi wants to do next?"
With a wave of his hand, Luo Hong sent Tieyu back to the Netherworld Cave.
"Brother Luo doesn't seem surprised by this?"
Shi Chuankong did not answer, but asked back curiously.
"Luo and Yaoguang had previously been among those transformed monsters and had learned some of the situations, so we had made our guess."
Luo Hong explained with a smile.
"Haha, that's right. This is essentially the same drama as the power struggle among secular dynasties. It's not hard to guess.
If Brother Luo wants Shi's opinion, it is to leave the Ten Suffering Mountains as soon as possible and meet up with my third brother before making plans."
Shi Chuankong was well aware of the horror of the Daluo demon beast, and now he only wanted to escape from danger first.
“I’m afraid this is no longer possible.
Although Luo spared Tieyu's life, so many of his transformed monsters were killed. It's impossible that the Golden Rhino King didn't notice it, and he might have sent out stronger subordinates.
Even if we can repel it again, it can only happen once or twice, but not a third time. The next time, the Golden Rhino King will definitely take action himself.
With the magical powers of the Daluo Demon Beast, it is impossible for us to escape from his territory before it catches up with us.
Unless Brother Shi is willing to use those life-saving methods you have."
Luo Hong shook his head and was not optimistic about Shi Chuankong's plan.
The action of a Daluo cultivator is enough to cause a domain to shake. Although the Demon Realm is a large domain among large domains, once the Golden Rhino King takes action personally, he can catch up in a flash.
"It is best not to use Shi's methods if possible. I wonder what Brother Luo means?"
Shi Chuankong knew very well that Luo Hong only needed to use the Breaking Heaven Spear to lead them out of danger, but since the other party did not mention it, he undoubtedly had other plans.
"What Luo means is that since we can't avoid it, we might as well take advantage of it and face the challenge head-on, and do what it means to drive a tiger to devour a wolf!
Luo has long heard that the Ten Suffering Mountains are not a monolithic entity, and that the Golden Rhino King must have many enemies, but I wonder who they are?"
Luo Hong asked in a deep voice.
“After all, the Ten Trouble Kings are all demon beasts that have attained enlightenment. Although they have gained intelligence, they are still violent by nature. It is almost impossible for them to coexist peacefully.
As far as I know, the Golden Rhino King has grudges against several of the surrounding kings, but the one with the most hatred is the Black Weasel King!"
Shi Chuankong explained the situation while secretly communicating with Luo Hong:
"Brother Luo, why are you so determined to provoke the Golden Rhino King? With your magical powers, it shouldn't be difficult to help us escape, right?"
"Haha, Brother Shi, let me ask you, is there a noble who has a spiritual root of heaven and earth that can produce a golden yuan fruit every once in a while?"
At this moment, Luo Hong did not answer but asked instead.
"Brother Luo, are you talking about the Golden Yuan Sacred Tree? This spiritual root does exist, and it has been managed by our royal family. Currently, eh? Could it be that Big Brother is the one who invited the Golden Rhino King with the Golden Yuan Dao Fruit? After all, this spiritual root has always been under his care!"
Shi Chuankong had already understood something halfway through his words.
"To be honest, I urgently need Dao Fruit to heal my Dao injuries, so I have to take a risk. But don't worry, Brother Shi. I have already broken through to the late Taiyi stage in seclusion. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I can still keep you safe!"
Luo Hong said confidently.
"Golden Yuan Dao Fruit is indeed a good medicine for healing Dao injuries, but this time it is too dangerous. Brother Luo, are you willing to owe me a favor?"
Shi Chuankong's eyes flashed several times when he heard this, and then he spoke cautiously.
“Brother Shi, do you want me to lend a helping hand to your third brother in the future?
Although this is fine, I still have to remind you that when it comes to fighting for the throne, even if the brothers are from the same mother, you cannot trust them completely!"
Luo Hong got the answer he wanted and was in a good mood, so he reminded Shi Chuankong.
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Luo. However, I believe in my third brother. He will become a Holy Lord in the future and will definitely be much better than my eldest brother!"
Shi Chuankong knew that Luo Hong meant well, but he and Shi Pokong had a deep relationship, so naturally he couldn't be shaken by a few words.
At the same time, Shi Chuankong has openly explained why the Black Weasel King and the Golden Rhino King have such a deep hatred.
“The Black Weasel King is the most special one among the Ten Suffering Kings. Although he was also born as a demon beast that ate raw meat and drank blood, when he first attained enlightenment, he did not practice the skills of our Holy Land, but the Three Pure Ones of your Immortal Land.
Therefore, he was not as bloodthirsty as the other ten kings. Instead, he liked to pretend to be cultured, read some poems and books of rites, and loved to dress up as a scholar and travel around those secular dynasties.
However, his nature did not change after all. It is said that he had participated in a national imperial examination in his early years, but he failed three times and could not even obtain the status of a juren.
In the end, he became extremely vicious and devoured the entire imperial court, from the emperor to the six ministries!
The Golden Rhino King had the most violent temper, and the two of them were neighbors, so they had always disliked each other.
As time goes by, the hatred will grow more and more."
"So, if we give the Black Weasel King a chance, he will definitely kill the Golden Rhino King as soon as possible?"
Luo Hong made the final confirmation.
"Exactly!"
Shi Chuankong nodded heavily immediately.
