The geniuses of the demon clan were in bad luck... Soon, they were torn to pieces by the surging black tide. Some of them died on the spot, while others disappeared without a trace...
But Dugu Ao didn't care about these.
In his eyes, there was only that red light flashing somewhere...
Following Dugu Ao's gaze, the two geniuses were confused as to what he meant.
"Brother Dugu... What on earth is this?"
"Don't you feel that the intensity of the black tide this time is much stronger than the previous ones?" Dugu Ao did not answer their question but asked instead.
Hearing this, the two geniuses were stunned, and then they seemed to be thinking about something... Indeed, although the black tide before was equally turbulent, it was not as strong as it was just now, tearing the genius of the demon clan apart and crushing it...
If they didn't have the 'Purple Cloud Heavenly Blessing', they wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer.
The two of them couldn't help but focus their eyes on Dugu Ao.
"Could it be... Brother Dugu knows something
Dugu Ao nodded slowly and said, "My Hidden Sect has fought the most with the demons, and we know their cunningness very well... That Chan didn't set up the 'Blood-devouring Black Nether Formation', but the 'Blood-devouring Dark Nether Formation'. Although the two are only one letter apart, they are very different. In addition to having all the functions of the former, the latter can also guide the flow of evil spirits, and will eventually make the surrounding black tide stronger and stronger..."
"But similarly, if the formation is broken, the black tide will sweep over the center of the formation, and the surrounding area will be greatly weakened, and we can use this opportunity to escape..."
After the last sentence was spoken, both of them understood everything.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to letting Lu Meir and Sha Yanyan, who suddenly rushed in to break the formation, to take the blame, and then they leave.
"...Brother Dugu, the formation is only on the verge of destruction, but not completely broken, right? What if they notice something strange..."
After a brief silence, Lou Jun spoke first.
He had just seen clearly that one of the people who came to rescue them this time was the mortal enemy of their Great Qin, Princess Tianmei of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, his idea became firm very quickly.
Of course, it is unknown to what extent this idea is a cover-up for fear of death.
Hearing this, Dugu Ao shook his head slightly and said, "It's not 'just in case', but 'already'... 'Blood-devouring Black Nether Formation' and 'Blood-devouring Nether Formation'
They are so similar that even the demons would have difficulty detecting them unless they break through the formation to a certain extent... Now that I know it, they can, too."
"The offensive against the formation has just stopped."
"... What should we do then?" Hearing this, the two geniuses looked worried and said in unison.
You know, they were able to withstand the last wave, which was almost their limit. If there was another wave, I'm afraid that 'Ziyun Tianyou' would collapse on the spot! By then, they would not be able to escape with their injuries, and they would definitely die!
Although it was also quite dangerous for Lu Meir and Sha Yanyan to stay in the formation, as long as the 'Blood Devouring Dark Formation' did not completely collapse, they could divert part of the black tide and thus have a better chance of escaping than them...
Thinking of this, both of them felt quite subtle.
Human nature is complex and ever-changing. At this moment, they forgot that Lu Meir and Sha Yanyan had no obligation to save them, and they did not think about the deeper meaning behind their decision not to move closer to them just now...
There was only one thought in the minds of the two people, which surged up uncontrollably - "Since we are here to save people, how can we give up halfway?"
Compared to them, who still needed to "overcome" it, Dugu Ao did not hesitate to sneer: "The formation is on the verge of collapse... Do you think everything will be fine if you stop?"
With his ability as the second top genius of the Hidden Sect, he had naturally figured out the weakness of this formation... If it was a perfect formation before, he would be powerless, but now...
After comparing the distances, a strange light flashed in Dugu Ao's eyes.
Seeing his extraordinary brilliance, the other two were delighted at first, but then their expressions became a little strange.
After all, the two women came to save them. But what about them? Instead of working together, they planned to add fuel to the fire and burn their benefactors to death in exchange for their own escape
This kind of behavior cannot even be described as repaying kindness with enmity, it is completely low-level.
Seeing their hesitation, Dugu Ao thought that it would not be enough to influence the formation from a distance by himself, so he persuaded them: "Even if we do nothing, when the next wave of black tide comes, the possibility of them escaping is less than 30%. But if the formation collapses instantly, causing the black tide to erupt prematurely and break through the center of the formation... then, the possibility of our escape is 90%."
The cold numbers, with their bloody cruelty, completely ignore the humanity and kindness in them...
The two of them shuddered subconsciously.
Then Dugu Ao continued, "In terms of talent and cultivation, those two women are not as good as us... So, how to choose? Everyone in the world can tell."
"If our entire army is wiped out here, then this battle for the Liu clan's imperial palace will be a failure. Otherwise, we still have hope."
"For the sake of humanity and all the people in the world... both of you, please lend me a helping hand!"
These words were extremely high-sounding, and Dugu Ao actually had no shame at all, and the expression on his face was extremely sincere, as if what he said was not a despicable act of putting his benefactor to death, but an upright and righteous act for the sake of the people of the world...
Regardless of how much "distortion" there was in his words, his current demeanor was enough to shock the two of them...
It was not until this moment that they realized what the title of the Hidden Sect's savior really meant...
It turns out that this is the savior.
When they thought of this, they both felt a complicated feeling inexplicably.
Subconsciously, they looked at Xu Qingya who had fainted on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
It turns out... Dugu Ao deliberately let the demons knock Xu Qingya unconscious just now in order to prevent her from doing something "against the righteousness of the people"...
Too.
Hehe...that's right!
Dugu Ao really thought of everything.
Nothing is impossible.
What reason do they have to refuse
"… I understand. Brother Dugu, please take charge of the situation."
After hesitating for a long time, the two finally said to Dugu Ao with a fist salute.
…
At the same time, where the crumbling red light was, Lu Meir and Sha Yanyan had just resisted a wave of black tide, both of them looked pale, and one of the three demon geniuses they controlled also died.
The other two demons were also injured.
It was thanks to the desperate efforts of these three guys that the black tide that suddenly surged in would have been enough to destroy everything here.
"Hu, hu... Vixen, what is going on? Isn't it about this formation... Oh, what's going on here!" Lu Meir asked Sha Yanyan while holding on to the stone pillar used to set up the formation and catching her breath.
But to these words, Sha Yanyan looked dazed, as if he didn't hear them, and just murmured: "... I can't believe, Chan, you have actually improved to this point..."
"Hey! Vixen! What on earth are you mumbling to that person?" Lu Meir muttered again in dissatisfaction, and Sha Yanyan finally came to her senses. She was quick-witted and deduced the possible subsequent developments in just a moment...
Especially, if there are people from the Hidden Sect over there...
It’s bound to happen!
With a thought, she quickly turned to Lu Meir, her expression became extremely serious, and she said solemnly: "Little girl, listen carefully."
"what?"
Lu Meir snorted in annoyance, but when she saw Sha Yanyan's expression, she restrained her expression and indicated that she was listening.
"Next I will create an opportunity for you to escape, seize it!"
Sha Yanyan slowly clenched his palms and said solemnly.
