Chapter 466 Burying the Scholar Demon Lord
Shuqiu City, which had been ravaged by the army of the demon world, became a ruin.
At this time, it was washed by the more brutal firepower of the combat mecha, and it suddenly became a more complete ruin of the city.
Countless buildings were still burning in the aftermath of the explosion not long ago. The flickering flames reflected Wang Zhifan, who was standing alone in the city, and the surface of the tall mecha Sirius standing beside him changed from light to dark.
"The Demon Lord is coming here. I have to leave quickly."
Taking out the Demon Sealing List and looking at the map, as expected, Wang Zhifan found that the earth-shaking noise before attracted the nearby demon world to approach. After all, this place can be regarded as the base camp area of the demon world in the disaster area, and the demons are relatively densely distributed.
However, he did not quickly put on the wind-hiding hat to leave invisibly, but raised his hand to collect the mecha beside him and put it into the portable space, and then looked at the body of someone with closed eyes and a smile on the ground in front of him.
There is no doubt that Zhang Siqian has completely passed away at this moment, ending his young and tragic life.
But in a sense, he was also happy. At least at the last moment of his life, he fulfilled his wish to avenge the demon with his own hands, otherwise he would not have died with a relieved smile.
"Mr. Zhang, since we have known each other for a while, I will dig a simple grave for you... In this land where you have lived for twenty years, on the path of the flames that are about to spread... I hope you will be happily reunited with your relatives below."
After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan decided to bury Zhang Siqian's body on the spot. After all, this is Shuqiu City, where he was born and raised, and he should be happy to rest here forever.
Considering that the demons will come later, the body that has just been buried may not be safe, and there may be a risk of being dug out and eaten. Wang Zhifan prepared to bury him where the fire spread, letting the raging flames devour his body and turn it into ashes.
These things may not be done quickly for a civilian, but with Wang Zhifan's current strength, he just used the active mode of the epic biological force field and waved his hand. A perfect earth pit was bombarded by the powerful force field. Then he placed Zhang Siqian's body in it, covered it with a thin layer of soil, and added a few pieces of igniting materials, and it was done.
"Goodbye, Mr. Zhang."
After finishing the work quickly, Wang Zhifan said goodbye to the deceased, put on the Fengyin hat, entered the invisible state and flew away, rushing to the next exploration site.
For a period of time afterwards, Wang Zhifan did not encounter any abnormal situation.
He silently went to the places where the remaining demon lords were, and found that they were not the targets he was looking for, and there were no particularly suitable conditions for attacking, so he came and went quietly, and rushed to the area near Xuanzhou to explore.
Until late at night that day, he failed to find the existence of suspected targets, but he met two more demon lords for free, and happily sent them to the west.
"Good boy, how come I have more than 14,000 merit points... 2,000 more than the second-ranked Wu Tian Taoist, so I'm so lucky?"
Feeling that he had no hope of achieving his goal today, Wang Zhifan habitually took out the Demon Sealing List and looked at it, and found that his current score was at the top of the list, as outrageous as the Demon Tathagata at the beginning.
"There is still no news from those two old men. It seems that they haven't detected the movement of the target."
Then he contacted the Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di and the old man Fu Mo, and confirmed that there was no progress on their side, so he teleported back to the vicinity of Tianyuan City, and cleaned up a group of approaching demon army. After completing the work, he returned to the city to rest.
It can be said that the current Tianyuan City ranks among the top ten in the entire disaster area in terms of safety.
The internal part has always been guarded by the super-innate old Taoist Zhen Xu Zi, and the external part has been plowed over and over again by him, the number one on the Demon Sealing List, and the equally powerful dragon girl Mie Yuexi comes to help from time to time.
In addition, a large number of innate monks and the demon-killing brigade composed of three players in the city fought hard. Tianyuan City had no substantial danger except when the Demon Realm organized the Demon Lord to attack. Any demon army that dared to approach was destroyed very quickly.
"Let's meditate and practice for a while. I feel that my three Lv3 skills have signs of breakthroughs. I have to add a fire."
The reason why Wang Zhifan returned to the Wuzun Hall of Tianyuan City was not because he was really lazy, but because he wanted to combine work and rest and squeeze out time to do some basic improvement in the daily life of killing the Demon Lord.
He has fought many battles with the Demon Lords almost every day in the past few months. He has rich practical experience and has also made a lot of progress in his skills.
In addition to the Great Dream Sword Sutra that was upgraded from Lv6 to Lv7, the other three skills also gave rise to many insights, which were better than the effect of closed-door hard practice, except for the last kick to break the door.
Therefore, he first chatted with the Dragon Girl on the Mieyue Island as usual, and then concentrated on meditating and practicing in the inner hall until the early morning.
But just when he had a premonition of a breakthrough, he suddenly heard the feedback from the designated friend on the Demon Sealing List.
"Is there any news about that Demon Lord?"
Like a conditioned reflex, Wang Zhifan made this inference. He did not hesitate to withdraw from the state of meditation and summoned the Demon Sealing List to check the news from the second and third lists.
"Wutianwudi Taoist: Wu Zun, I have calculated based on the traces left by this enemy that it left Xuanzhou yesterday and should be in the western Ruizhou area now! We have all found the wrong place!"
"The Demon-Subduing Old Man: Taoist Wu Tian told me that the Demon Lord was in Ruizhou, so I checked the puppet I placed in Ruizhou a month ago. As a result, my puppet was just destroyed by a powerful enemy, and the puppet memory showed that the enemy was very powerful. I suspected that it was the Demon Lord! Jin Lianzi has gone to investigate with several monks!"
Sure enough, the news from the two old men was related to the target Demon Lord, and this time the intelligence seemed very accurate, narrowing the target Demon Lord's range of activities to a relatively narrow degree, and there were already masters going to hunt.
After the exchange, Wang Zhifan felt a little speechless again, and complained in his heart:
"These two old men are also very strong, why don't they fight by themselves? They have to instigate others to go... People really become spirits when they get old..."
Realizing that Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di and the Demon-Subduing Old Man were unwilling to take action against the powerful enemy first, Wang Zhifan understood that this time the danger should be very high. Only passionate young people are willing to challenge, and cunning old people are unwilling to take risks.
From a utilitarian point of view, Wang Zhifan doesn't need to rush to deal with this potential strong enemy. Anyway, his merit points on the Demon Sealing List are already very high. Even if this piece of fat meat is taken by other cultivators, it will not shake his position as the number one on the list.
If other cultivators can't take it, it's better. He may get more information and ensure his personal safety to a greater extent if he takes action later.
But Wang Zhifan is not the kind of person who values the number one position on the list. He always puts clearing this copy first in his heart.
So his personal tendency is to eliminate as many forces of the demon world army as possible, especially to eliminate the core forces represented by the Demon Lord.
Therefore, he cannot tolerate the Demon Lord who killed many top cultivators to continue to survive, and it is even more unacceptable to let him continue to slaughter the cultivators in the disaster realm.
This leads to his only option is to attack immediately and help the friendly side to kill the strong enemy as soon as possible.
So Wang Zhifan immediately sent a communication to Jin Lianzi, expressing his hope to join forces with them to eliminate demons.
He had seen Jin Lianzi at the Fire Spirit Island meeting, but he had met him less frequently in the usual battles.
The main impression is that he is a young monk with a golden lotus pattern on his bald head. He has good strength and achievements, and is currently ranked ninth on the Demon Sealing List.
After the communication was sent, Jin Lianzi did not respond quickly, so Wang Zhifan figured out the teleportation location on the Demon Sealing List map by himself, intending to choose a similar place from the known location information to teleport there without further information.
Because it was already early in the morning, the teleportation function of the Demon Sealing List was refreshed, and he could attack or support at any time.
After waiting for a while, he still did not receive a response from Jin Lianzi. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he looked at the Demon Sealing List.
The result was not as bad as he imagined. The name of Jin Lianzi, who ranked ninth on the Demon Sealing List, was still the normal dark black, indicating that he was still alive.
"This bald guy, doesn't he want me to go over and share his merit points? Or is he busy and has no time to reply to me?"
Slightly puzzled, Wang Zhifan immediately decided not to wait, and according to the location he just determined, he activated the teleportation ability of the Demon Sealing List and went to Ruizhou, the disaster realm.
Ruizhou is a small state in the west of the disaster realm, but unlike many people's impression that the west is a desolate place, it is a good place with good weather and good harvests, so it can get the name "Rui".
It is said that the population is dense and the residents are rich. Because it is far away from Xuanzhou in the east where the demon army landed, it is considered a state that is rarely invaded by demons. Therefore, many civilians in the disaster realm are collectively migrating there.
Wang Zhifan landed in a city in Ruizhou late at night. Wearing a Fengyin hat, he found that the lights were bright here. There were many civilians coming and going in the streets of the city under the starlight. The bustle was no worse than that of Tianyuan City. There was no sign of invasion by the demon army.
But the reason why Wang Zhifan chose to teleport here was because there were three demon lords here. He came to investigate with preparations for battle, but found that the human race here was like nothing happened, which really made him feel incredible.
"The Demon Sealing List shows that there are clearly three Demon Lords here, but what I see is a peaceful and tranquil place... Could it be that the Demon Lords in this place are different and don't like to cause destruction or eat people?"
Curious, he remained invisible and immediately rushed to the location of the three Demon Lords shown on the map.
The three are currently gathering together, not far from him, and are also in this Ruizhou city.
When Wang Zhifan quietly approached, he found that the location of the Demon Lord shown on the Demon Sealing List map was in a restaurant, a small restaurant with only three floors that looked ordinary.
"It seems that there are three small Demon Lords, otherwise this place would definitely not be able to accommodate them."
Wang Zhifan immediately pondered in his heart, and released his powerful perception to determine that there were three powerful evil auras gathered in one place in the restaurant ahead, and they were all human-shaped.
Human-shaped Demon Lords are actually not uncommon. Many Demon Lords or demons have appearances similar to humans, but they are only slightly similar in appearance.
Anyone who sees a demon will never mistake them for humans, as they are different species with huge differences that can be seen at a glance.
"Strange... Demon Lord, a bloodthirsty demon king, would hide in a small restaurant... something is wrong... something is wrong..."
Feeling unusual, Wang Zhifan gave up the idea of continuing to approach and investigate with his main body, and instead deliberately released a Mengwo clone to investigate on his behalf, silently disappearing into the restaurant wall.
Not long after, in the vision of the dream avatar, Wang Zhifan saw three targets in the restaurant.
They were three beings who looked no different from humans. If they did not have the aura of the Demon Lord, they would be almost the same as ordinary humans.
The most conspicuous one was dressed in white as a young scholar, sitting at a wooden table, holding a jade folding fan in one hand and shaking it slightly, holding a black piece in the other hand with a thoughtful look on his face, playing Go with an old human with wrinkles on his face and messy white hair across the wooden table.
The other two Demon Lords were middle-aged servants in gray cloth clothes, with their eyebrows lowered and their bodies bent, waiting on both sides of the white-clothed scholar, with the posture of a complete servant.
"This white-clothed scholar demon lord seems to have the aura of Emperor Tianhua... I can sense that he is very powerful... Maybe he is the target I am looking for...
By the way, the jade folding fan in his hand looks a bit familiar... There are dragon patterns on the fan... It also exudes an extraordinary spiritual charm... Could it be the sage-given treasure, Youlong Jade Folding Fan, which the Confucian master Xiaoyao Youlong never leaves?! I am afraid it cannot be wrong now!"
In less than half a second, the clone sent by Wang Zhifan to investigate in the small restaurant obtained a very unexpected result, that is, he seemed to have directly found the real owner, the mysterious demon lord who killed Xiaoyao Youlong, the top masters of the Demon Sealing List, Emperor Tianhua, and the Desert Gun.
For a moment, Wang Zhifan, who felt that this scholar demon lord was completely different from those he had met before, was silent. He did not choose to rush in and fight directly, but retreated a distance first to avoid alerting the enemy.
In addition to the fact that this place is a densely populated disaster city and it is not suitable to start a war directly, the more important reason is that he intuitively sensed the danger and intuitively felt that this demon lord was extraordinary dangerous.
"This is a tricky idea! Come and help me!"
Feeling the difficulty, Wang Zhifan immediately started the method of calling people. He summoned the Demon Sealing List and quickly sent a message for help to the Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di and the old man who subdues demons, hoping that they can send it over to help.
After a few breaths, the responses from the second and third places on the list came one after another:
"Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di: Wu Zun! I calculated that this demon is extremely powerful and cannot be defeated. Please evacuate quickly!"
"Old Man Subdues Demon: Wu Zun, don't panic! Wait for a moment in a safe place! I will send the strongest clone to help you!"
