"give it to me!"
After the man wrapped in the cloak finished speaking, he did not put away the incense. 34 He held the incense in one hand and extended his other hand toward the magma river below. I saw the hand he stretched out, the five pale golden bone fingers flicking slightly, and suddenly a stream of light came out from the finger, shooting directly at the fire dragon lizards in the magma river.
Those streaks of light were like golden needles. They didn't look very stunning, nor did they have any sharp and terrifying momentum. However, the solid defenses of the Earth Fire Dragon Lizards, which have been honed by magma for many years, are as fragile as paper under the light of that golden needle.
A ray of light instantly penetrated the body of a fire dragon lizard, barely encountering any obstacle. And looking at the fire dragon lizard, after being shot out of the body by the light, the body visibly stiffened, there was no struggle, and it actually stopped breathing.
Then, that ray of light flew out of the body of the dead Fire Dragon Lizard, and immediately shot towards the Fire Dragon Lizard next to it. Even though the man wrapped in the cloak only shot out a few rays of light, his killing speed was not slow at all.
Several rays of light, following the movement of the human bone fingers wrapped in the cloak, jumped between the group of fire dragon lizards. One after another, the fire dragon lizards lost their lives silently and turned into corpses floating on the magma.
However, the Fire Dragon Lizard was not just left to be slaughtered. In particular, the fire dragon lizards whose strength is comparable to that of the ancestors of Nascent Soul are not only superior to others in terms of magic power, but their spiritual intelligence is also not comparable to ordinary people of the same kind. If it weren't for such an environment, these fire dragon lizards might have transformed into demon kings long ago.
Facing the light, a Nascent Soul-level Earth Fire Dragon Lizard let out a dull roar, and its body suddenly ignited with scorching flames. This flame is much hotter than the magma. It is the essence of earth fire that the earth fire dragon lizard has condensed for thousands of years. The light that shot in was immediately blocked by the flames. At the same time, the tongues of fire continued to linger, as if to refine the light.
"Ha, you do have some skills!" The man wrapped in the cloak was not surprised when he saw this. He pinched his bony fingers suddenly and pinched out a mysterious magic formula. Looking at the blocked light, it instantly turned into a golden sword and slashed towards the fire dragon lizard extremely arrogantly.
"Boom boom boom!"
The giant sword of golden light struck the Earth Fire Dragon Lizard with one strike. Although it did not cut the opponent into two pieces, the powerful force smashed it almost into the magma. Moreover, not only was there a giant sword of golden light, but several other rays of light also turned into giant swords, and they slashed at the fire dragon lizards without any tricks.
At this time, although the several Nascent Soul-level Earth Fire Dragon Lizards were not killed as easily as the other Earth Fire Dragon Lizards, they were no longer able to pose any threat to the demonic people.
On the battlefield above the magma river, the seemingly endless swarms of fire bats finally gradually became much rarer. Zou Jishi of the Holy Fire Cult controlled thousands of fire crows, surrounding everyone, like a barrier blocking the incoming fire bats. Others were able to easily use flying swords or magic weapons to continuously kill the surrounding fire bats.
It seems that in less than a moment, this battle will be completely over. Everyone in the Demonic Path seemed much more relaxed, and even began to compete with each other to see who could kill more fire bats.
However, at this moment, suddenly from an inconspicuous cave on the rock wall on one side of the magma river, a golden light flew out and turned into a small mountain and smashed towards the Demon Dao people. That golden light was the Coiling Dragon's Golden Seal from the Dao Palace, and it hit the Demon Dao people in an instant.
The person who sacrificed this Coiling Dragon Golden Seal was Yang Bufan, the protector of the Tao Palace.
In fact, under the leadership of Ye Zan, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Dao Palace and the Freemasonry had already ambush here before the Demon Dao people arrived. If they hadn't made an agreement with Ye Zan, I'm afraid that when they saw the Demon Dao people appearing, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors would have been unable to help but take action.
Originally, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors were a little strange and even a little dissatisfied with Ye Zan's delay in taking action. However, when they saw the fire bats and the fire dragon lizards appearing, the three of them were both shocked and thankful.
Due to the leadership of Ye Zan, whether they went to the exit of the maze before or came here to ambush now, these three Nascent Soul Ancestors have actually never seen these terrifying monsters in the maze.
And when they saw these monsters, especially the battles between the monsters and the demonic people, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors had to be thankful that they had not taken action before. Before, if they had taken action directly, let alone whether they would cause trouble to everyone in the Demonic Way, but after these monster beasts appeared, the three of them would definitely become the targets of the monster beast attacks. If they really faced that kind of situation, it would be a question whether they could protect themselves, so why bother ambushing others!
At the same time, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors were even more fortunate that they did not refuse to cooperate with Ye Zan. Otherwise, if their team were to be put in the position of the demonic people, it's hard to say how many people would survive.
Therefore, the three Nascent Soul Ancestors were naturally more convinced of Ye Zan. The three of them suppressed the hatred in their hearts and quietly watched the battle between the Demon Dao people and a large number of monsters. They only waited for Ye Zan's order before taking action.
Yang Bufan, although he has always been quite repulsive towards "outsiders" like Ye Zan, he still understands his priorities. Therefore, he did not take action without authorization, but held the Panlong Golden Seal in his hand, waiting for Ye Zan's order.
Until, the battle between the demonic people and the monsters was coming to an end. Everyone in the Demonic Way began to relax their vigilance, thinking that this level was over. At this time, Ye Zancai suddenly gave an order to the three Nascent Soul Ancestors and launched a surprise attack on the Demon Dao people.
Moreover, Ye Zan also designated targets for the three Nascent Soul Ancestors.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect that a sneak attack can completely eliminate those people in the devil's path. Moreover, based on the strength of these three Nascent Soul Ancestors, even if they attack the opponent by surprise, it may be difficult to capture the opponent's Nascent Soul Ancestors.
Therefore, the targets designated by Ye Zan for the three Yuan Ying Ancestors are all the Golden Pill Masters among the demonic people.
There is a saying that "it is better to cut off one of the ten fingers than to injure them." Since we are not sure of severely damaging the opponent's Nascent Soul Ancestor, we might as well start with those Jindan masters who are sure of it. Anyway, there is still a long way to go. If we solve one here and one there, I don’t believe that we can’t kill them all.
Yang Bufan's Coiling Dragon Golden Seal indeed caught everyone in the Demon Dao off guard, especially the several Nascent Soul Ancestors who were still being dragged by monsters. Facing the golden seal, Zou Jishi of the Holy Fire Sect hurriedly directed the fire crows to rush forward, but the golden seal was instantly smashed away.
The golden elixir master, who was targeted by the golden seal, offered a defensive weapon with a horrified look on his face. A small bronze bell transformed into a bell shadow and covered his body. However, compared to the power of the Panlong Golden Seal, such a magical weapon is still obviously far behind.
In an instant, the coiled dragon golden seal hit the golden elixir master. A loud bang was heard, and the small bronze bell was immediately smashed into pieces, and the golden elixir master inside spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Where did the rats come from!" Seeing that the person he wanted to protect was not protected, Zou Jishi suddenly became furious. He raised his hand and pointed at the golden crow flag above his head, and a large number of fire crows surged out again, rushing towards the direction of the Coiling Dragon Golden Seal like a cloud of fire.
In an instant, a large number of fire crows rushed into the cave where Yang Bufan was hiding. Following a violent explosion, a ball of flame suddenly erupted from the cave, as if the cave had instantly turned into a volcano.
However, long after he sacrificed the Coiling Dragon Golden Seal, Yang Bufan had already changed his hiding place according to Ye Zan's order. This is what is called, changing places with one shot, an ancient tactic from the Earth Age that still has its place in this world.
And just when the attention of everyone in the Demon Dao was focused on the direction of the cave, a sword light suddenly shot out from the side and went straight towards the Jindan Grandmaster who had been seriously injured just now.
By the time the Demon Dao people reacted, the head of the Golden Pill Master had already left his neck and flew out, and his body was falling towards the lava river below.
"Where to go!" Gu Feng reacted and raised his hand to point at the ghost king who was covered in flames. I saw the ghost king, suddenly dodged, and reached out to grab the flying sword. The runes on the ghost claws flickered, obviously he was really capable of catching the flying sword.
However, another Coiling Dragon Golden Seal suddenly flew out of a cave above and hit the Flame Ghost King. A roar knocked the Flame Ghost King staggering, but the flying sword instantly disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, the two Coiling Dragon Golden Seals that appeared before and after them immediately broke away from the battle without hesitation, flew in different directions, and quickly disappeared into those inconspicuous caves.
"It's those ants from the secret realm!" Gu Feng said bitterly.
Seeing the two Coiling Dragon Golden Seals, everyone in the Demonic Dao already knew who was attacking them. Originally, they were quite disdainful towards the people in this secret realm, but now one of them was killed by a sneak attack. Therefore, in their hearts, they actually feel more shame than anger.
"Did they encounter us by chance, or did they set up an ambush here specifically?" Zou Jishi said with a frown. If it is the latter, it will be a bit troublesome, which proves that the other party may be more familiar with this underground maze than himself and others.
"Impossible! When I went to summon the Babel Tower, it was obvious that no one had opened it in nearly ten thousand years. I'm afraid they didn't even know the existence of the Babel Tower." Gu Feng said with certainty.
Of course, Gufeng was right. People from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasons really knew nothing about the Babel Tower. But who said there was a Ye Zan over there? For Ye Zan, this maze is just like his own home, so what does it mean to set up an ambush
People like Mo Dao never imagined that the reason why they would go around for so long and encounter so many obstacles was also caused by Ye Zan.
"Keep moving forward and leave this maze as soon as possible!" The man wrapped in the cloak said to everyone while suppressing several Nascent Soul-level Earth Fire Dragon Lizards.
At this time, only a few fire bats were left in the group. In the magma river, there were only a few Nascent Soul level fire dragon lizards, still struggling and flopping. These few monster beasts alone are no longer able to stop the Demon Dao people from moving forward.
The Demon Dao people immediately shook off the monster beasts and followed the guidance of Lu Xiang, heading towards the lower reaches of the magma river.
In the cave on the other side, Ye Zan and the three Nascent Soul Ancestors gathered together again.
"I just killed one of their golden elixir masters. Can this be considered an ambush?" Yang Bufan looked very dissatisfied with the result. According to his idea, he should strike while the iron is hot and inflict heavy damage on the opponent with all his strength, instead of taking advantage and running away.
"Okay, then in the next ambush, Fellow Daoist Yang will be responsible for holding back some of their Nascent Soul Ancestors, and we'll take care of those Golden Elixir Grandmasters. How about that?" Ye Zan said unceremoniously.
"Then..." Yang Bufan was so aroused that he immediately wanted to directly respond to Ye Zan's words for the sake of his Yuanying Ancestor's face.
"Brother Yang Xian!" Cheng Liangqi immediately interrupted Yang Bufan. After watching the battle between the Demon Dao group and the monster beasts, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the other Nascent Soul Ancestors. He was certain that, let alone letting Yang Bufan hold back all the other Nascent Soul Ancestors, he might not be able to hold on for long even against the previous one.
"Okay, I think Fellow Daoist Ye's arrangement is pretty good. Since it's an ambush, we can't pursue the results too much. Instead, we must weaken the opponent step by step while protecting ourselves." Qiao Ronghua told Ye Zan I quite agree with the approach. After all, the Freemasons have always used similar methods in their confrontation with the Taoist Palace.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, what should we do next?" Cheng Liangqi changed the topic and asked Ye Zan about the next step.
"Haha, three fellow Taoists, just come with me. Everything has been arranged long ago." Ye Zan said with a smile.
Everyone in the Demonic Way felt a little crazy, but they didn't expect that Zou Jishi was right. The other party obviously didn't meet him and the others by chance. In the following time, they were ambushed again and again, and one golden elixir master was killed or injured one after another, which made the remaining golden elixir masters panic.
As for those Nascent Soul Ancestors, seeing their disciples die one by one before their eyes, it was like being slapped hard in the face.
In anger, Gu Feng wanted to chase the attacker, but instead fell into the opponent's trap and was beaten unceremoniously by the opponent. If others hadn't rescued him in time, he might have died.
Since then, none of the Nascent Soul Ancestors on the demonic side dared to pursue the sneak attacker. They could only strengthen their defenses and speed up their advance, hoping to leave this maze as soon as possible.
"What a pity. If they hadn't arrived so quickly, maybe we could have kept that devil!" Yang Bufan said regretfully. After sneak attacks again and again, and seeing the results increase little by little, his attitude towards Ye Zan also changed a lot.
"Don't think too much. The people who can come here are all elites of various sects. Who doesn't have a few life-saving cards in their hands? If the devil is really forced into a desperate situation, he might use some means. When the time comes, Maybe someone will be hired as a backup," Ye Zan said without any regrets.
Not to mention it is a life-saving trump card, if the opponent is really desperate and directly uses the self-destructing Nascent Soul, they will be left with nothing to eat. Therefore, sometimes forcing the opponent into a desperate situation may not be a good thing. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, not to mention that the opponent is an ancestor of the Demonic Nascent Soul.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I don't know what we should do next?" Cheng Liangqi asked Ye Zan.
At this time, in fact, they all felt that as the Mo Dao group increased their vigilance, it became increasingly difficult to ambush and attack. Moreover, when there were originally a large number of people, there would be situations where those Nascent Soul Ancestors would not be able to take care of them. But now, there are fewer and fewer golden elixir masters over there, and it is easier for the few Nascent Soul Ancestors to protect the remaining people.
Ye Zan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's all, it's time for me to leave. Let's go directly to the exit and go to the fifth floor."
"Fellow Daoist Ye, although it will be more difficult to ambush the opponent later, we still have the chance. Why did we suddenly leave again?" Yang Bufan asked in confusion.
What Yang Bufan said is true. The difficulty is only relative to the previous situation, and it does not mean that there is really no chance. As the saying goes, "It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows." No matter how careful those in the Demonic Path are, it's not easy to defend against their hidden arrows.
Moreover, purely in terms of strength, the strength of Ye Zan's side is not much weaker than that of the people on the demonic side. It is not that they really have no ability to compete head-on. Therefore, it can be said that Ye Zan and his team have a great chance of gaining some more results.
However, Ye Zan shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no time. Someone has come in again in this maze. If we struggle with the people from the devil's path here, we will only make it easier for the group that comes in later."
"What! Someone came in again?" Cheng Liangqi was shocked when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, do you know the origins of the people who came in this time?" Qiao Ronghua asked quickly.
"I can only say that they are from the Shenhua Realm, but I have no way of knowing which sect they are from." Ye Zan shook his head and said.
As for why he was so familiar with the maze, Ye Zan did not hide it from the three of them. Of course, his explanation was the same as the others, using Gu insects as a cover. Therefore, Ye Zan said that someone else had entered the maze. The three of them did not doubt it, but were quite curious about the origins of those people.
However, what surprised the three of them was that even Ye Zan shook his head and said he didn't know the origins of those people. (To be continued.)
