Chapter 222: You Can Die But I Can’t

Li Yuanqing did not choose to attack the two guard halls at the front and back of the Dongming Mountain. Instead, he circled around the two halls and headed for the back of the mountain.

Shi Fengchun, who was guarding in front, thought that Li Yuanqing must have seen that his place was well-guarded and retreated. Little did he know that Li Yuanqing had gone around to the back.

Li Yuanqing and Blood Vine circled around the mountain and arrived at the back of the mountain. There was a very hidden path here. No one usually passed by it and it was very quiet.

However, a figure was hurriedly passing by on this path. His movement technique was very fast, and he had already circled around in just a while. From afar, they could only see a phantom shuttling through the forest. A gentle wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

Da Mingkong looked back at the mountain peak again. After all, Shi Fengchun was a greenhorn. His thoughts were still too immature. He had tricked him into guarding the two halls with just a few words.

Since this human kid could break the illusion array that they were so proud of so easily, it would be easy for him to break the array formation of the two guarding halls.

Shi Fengchun could not even understand such a simple logic. He could only blame himself for being too simple-minded and thinking too simply.

“My good brother, it’s all thanks to you that I was able to escape this time. I’ll help you burn a few more incense sticks.”

As Da Mingkong spoke, he took another step forward. There was nothing to miss here.

Lord Black Dragon had tricked them all here and caused such a situation. When he returned, Lord Black Dragon would probably not have the face to criticize them.

However, just as he was about to set off, he suddenly felt something tug at his feet. He looked down and saw that a red vine had appeared under his feet. It was right beside his feet. He had not discovered this thing when he arrived just now.

At this moment, the red vine suddenly expanded in the wind, turning into a diameter of half a meter, and smashed towards Da Mingkong.

“Bastard!” Da Mingkong shouted and a pure white rod suddenly appeared in his hand. This rod emitted an incomparably dignified aura. A certain barbaric aura emitted from it, causing one’s heart to feel a little unbalanced.

The vine was sent flying the moment it came into contact with the rod. In front of Da Mingkong’s absolute strength, Blood Vine was still far from being capable.

Behind a big tree not far ahead, the Blood Vine rubbed his waist and walked out. His face was a little pale. “Good lord, why did you hit me so hard? You almost broke my waist.”

The moment Da Mingkong saw the Blood Vine, his expression instantly turned ugly. His originally relaxed expression had already disappeared. This fellow was clearly with that human kid just now. Now that this guy had already appeared, the human kid was probably not far from here. His wishful thinking of escaping had probably come to nothing.

“Why must you kill us all? Can’t you leave a way out for us?”

Da Mingkong’s face turned the color of pig liver. He had never negotiated with a human in his life. Today, in order to survive, he had no choice but to lower his noble head.

Li Yuanqing appeared behind the Blood Vine and silently looked at the exhausted Da Mingkong.

“It’s indeed you.” Da Mingkong took a deep breath. Although his expression was ugly, he still forced a smile. This was the way to welcome guests. “I thought that my concealment method could already deceive the world, but I didn’t expect to be defeated by you. Forget it, since there’s such a talent, my death won’t be unjust.”

Da Mingkong put on a helpless expression, as if he did not intend to resist at all.

The Blood Vine walked in front and asked with a smile, “Senior, what do you mean? Are you planning to surrender just like that? This is a wise choice.”

Da Mingkong looked very calm. “I’m afraid I won’t have any chance of survival if I fall into your hands. So I might as well leave it to your hands. I don’t have any desires anymore. However, there’s something I don’t understand. I wonder if you can enlighten me?”

Although Da Mingkong was talking, his hands were not idle. He touched something and secretly held it in his palm.

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry. Hearing his request, he simply let him say it.

“Senior, you’ve lived for many years. Since you still have some attachment, tell me about it. If I can help you answer it, I’ll definitely do my best.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he walked forward. In just a short while, he was less than ten meters away from Da Mingkong. He sat down on an old tree root and quietly watched the scenery.

Da Mingkong lowered his head and stared at Li Yuanqing silently, at the young man who had ruined his reputation.

“I don’t understand where you came from. Logically speaking, humans shouldn’t have your cultivation level in the catacombs. But why can you reach such strength? This doesn’t make sense at all.”

This Li Yuanqing in front of him was so powerful that even he could not figure out why such a person would appear in the catacombs. This matter was too strange.

When Da Mingkong asked this question, the Blood Vine was also interested and listened carefully.

Li Yuanqing glanced at him and replied casually, “There are always corners in the world that you don’t know. Although Senior has lived for a long time, you don’t like everything in the world as much as the human race. It’s just that you’re limited to the area under your feet. I’m afraid you can’t know the appearance of the outside world.”

Li Yuanqing’s ambiguous answer confused the Blood Vine. However, Da Mingkong seemed to have received a certain answer. He nodded slightly and sighed.

“As expected of this world. All living beings have their own weaknesses. I thought that I was considered knowledgeable among the demons. I didn’t expect to be defeated by a human brat like you. It’s really a pity.”

When Blood Vine saw that the two of them were chatting so happily, he simply sat cross-legged at the side and dozed off. His injuries were quite serious after being hit by Da Mingkong just now. His back was aching from the beating, so he took the opportunity to stabilize his injuries.

“It seems that there’s always someone better. This world is so complicated. I really should take a walk in this vast world.”

Li Yuanqing only smiled at his words and did not answer him directly.

Da Mingkong then added, “But from the looks of it, I’m afraid I won’t have such an opportunity anymore. Little brother, please do it. It’s best to be quick.”

He raised his head and stretched out his arms, looking like he was about to die. It was as if he had really forgotten about the mortal world and planned to die at Li Yuanqing’s hands.

Li Yuanqing had no intention of attacking. He only looked up at him with a playful expression.

After a while, Da Mingkong felt that he was still alive. He opened his eyes and asked Li Yuanqing, “Young Master, what do you mean? Since I’m already prepared, please do it. There’s no point in saying anything else. My life is already yours.”

Li Yuanqing raised his right hand and flipped it. Da Mingkong felt that his wrist seemed to be tightly locked by some force and he had no choice but to obey.

Li Yuanqing’s traction technique had been mastered. It was simply effective to control opponents weaker than him.

Da Mingkong’s hand was controlled and flipped over, and a small black ball appeared.

At first glance, the small ball looked ordinary, but on closer look, there was something strange about it. Its surface was extremely smooth, like a black hole that sucked all the light in. If one looked closer, they could only see a small vortex that hooked their eyes in.

Li Yuanqing gently pinched the small ball out of Da Mingkong’s hand. Da Mingkong’s eyes were filled with shock. He did not know when Li Yuanqing had discovered his actions.

“You…” Da Mingkong was so shocked that he could not speak.

Li Yuanqing looked at him mockingly, at this person who was once formidable. “I saw that you were a knowledgeable person among the demons, so I gave you a chance to go back on your word. However, I didn’t expect your actions to disappoint me.”

It was only at this moment that all the masks that had been covering their faces were pulled off.

Da Mingkong looked at Li Yuanqing angrily, his eyes filled with unwillingness. “Human brat, now that I’ve fallen into your hands, you can kill me or torture me if you want. There’s no need to waste your breath!”

Blood Vine was originally resting with his eyes closed when he heard the commotion. He was attracted over. When he saw that Li Yuanqing had such a small thing in his hand, he understood.

“Good lord, old man, our master gave you such a chance to turn over a new leaf, but not only are you unrepentant, you even plan to plot against my master!” Blood Vine walked to Da Mingkong’s side and circled him. “I think you deserve to die.”

A violent explosion shocked the nervous Shi Fengchun. He had been waiting here, but he could not hear anything outside. Those people must have left. Just as he was about to lower his guard, such an explosion came from outside, pulling his thoughts back. He had to guard this place tightly and not let his guard down.

The explosion just now came from the back of the mountain.

Shi Fengchun thought that the two humans might have circled around here and headed straight for the back mountain. Could it be that they planned to break out from the back?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He thought that the old senior was still the most scheming. He had long thought of guarding the hall at the back to prevent the humans from surrounding them from behind.

Shi Fengchun could not help but feel admiration for Da Mingkong. As expected of him. He was so steady in his actions. Now, he had saved their lives again.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of him. Shi Fengchun hurriedly released his divine sense and observed carefully.

The two humans who had disappeared just now had returned for some reason. The two of them were walking up the steps as if they were shopping.

Shi Fengchun turned into a small Dharma Idol the height of a person and blocked the top of the steps.

“The demon race’s forbidden area ahead, you humans, take a step back!”

His voice was very dignified, echoing between the mountains.

Hundreds of thousands of demon troops had suffered heavy casualties, and less than half of them were left. These terrified demons finally gathered on the mountaintop. They surrounded Li Yuanqing and the Blood Vine from afar. No one dared to take a step forward.

Shi Fengchun shouted and a sound wave swept out towards Li Yuanqing’s face.

However, this sound wave was like nothing in front of Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing did not even move and easily passed through the sound wave attack. He arrived in front of Shi Fengchun’s Dharma Idol without any effort.

Shi Fengchun waved his arms, intending to warn Li Yuanqing to retreat again. However, before his attack could land, Li Yuanqing’s large hand had already pressed lightly on his Dharma Idol’s chest. It dissipated simply. In an instant, nothing was left of this powerful Dharma Idol. It dissipated with the wind.

Shi Fengchun was shocked and hurriedly activated the defense of the entire array. He was determined to stop Li Yuanjing and the Blood Vine from entering the array at all costs.

The entire guard hall suddenly shone with light. An intense pillar of light shot into the sky and shone on Li Yuanqing’s face, making him look like a demon god that could destroy the world.

This cold face seemed to freeze the atmosphere. Everything was so quiet.

Shi Fengchun tried his best to inject all his strength into the array formation. He tried to use this method to shake off the intense fear in his heart. However, fear still followed him tightly. He could not shake it off. He did not know why a single human could give him so much pressure. It had been countless years since he had such an incomparably panicked feeling.

“Human, I advise you to stay where you are. Otherwise, the two of you will die!”

A bolt of lightning struck the stone slab in front of Li Yuanqing, shattering a piece of the ground. However, this level of threat could not shake Li Yuanqing at all. Li Yuanqing continued to walk forward firmly.

“Human, if you take another step forward, I’ll attack!”

His voice trembled as he watched Li Yuanqing walk in step by step until he passed through the barrier effortlessly.
