All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 444: Appetizer before the Battle
In the morning after a quiet day.

In the main hall of Wuzun Palace, Wang Zhifan held the Demon Sealing List in his hand, paying attention to the information about the disaster situation which was updated more and more frequently.

In front of him, there were three players, the strange white girl with freckles, the young man with sunglasses from the Xia country, the young girl from the island country, and his eldest disciple He Kuang, who were all on high alert, as if waiting for orders from their leader.

"Boss, what's going on? Is the demon army coming?"

The atmosphere felt a bit depressing, and soon the young man in sunglasses from Xia country took the lead in asking Wang Zhifan, who was still staring at the Demon Sealing List in his hand.

"The demon army hasn't arrived yet... but many signs indicate that they will be entering soon."

Wang Zhifan then answered while checking the Demon Sealing List in his hand.

"Since about an hour ago, nearly two hundred demon lords and tens of millions of demons have dispersed into various places in the disaster area. This situation has never occurred in the past few days. It can be inferred that this is the preparation for the large-scale invasion of the demon world."

He then added a few more words to let the four people in front of him know that the situation had begun to change drastically, and the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but become a little heavier.

"Master, I want to know what the current situation is in Qinzhou?"

He Kuang, the only native present, asked this somewhat special question with a worried look on his face after a while.

However, Wang Zhifan knew very well why this senior disciple asked this question, because Qinzhou was his hometown, where his relatives and friends lived, so he quickly answered:

"Two demon lords appeared in Qinzhou not long ago, but they were quickly eliminated, and there are only a few other ordinary demons left."

"That's good……"

He Kuang seemed to be slightly relieved after hearing this.

"You really don't plan to go back? Although the journey is a bit far, the war is long and with a bit of luck, there is always a chance that you can arrive in time."

Seeing He Kuang in this state, Wang Zhifan asked again.

In fact, just yesterday when the situation had become tense, Wang Zhifan asked He Kuang if he wanted to go back to his hometown to help, but He Kuang gave up and gave up after thinking about it.

On the one hand, the reason is that Qinzhou is very far away from Tianyuan City and it is not easy to reach there. Wang Zhifan's Demon Sealing List cannot help others teleport, so He Kuang will definitely not be able to get there in time.

Another reason is that He Kuang believes that his fellow junior brothers and sisters need protection from him as the eldest senior brother. Otherwise, when their master Wang Zhifan goes out to fight the Demon Lord, there will be no one to guard the Wuzun Hall.

Of course, there are other reasons why He Kuang didn't leave.

For example, his strength is not enough to deal with the Demon Lord level, and even if he rushes back, he will not be able to reverse the real situation.

For example, his closest parents had passed away a long time ago, and he hadn't seen other relatives for many years so the relationship between them might not be particularly deep.

"Master, I have made up my mind to protect Wu Zun Temple. Although I am somewhat concerned about the folks in Qinzhou, the journey is too long and I am really powerless."

After hearing this, He Kuang expressed his opinion to Wang Zhifan again with a serious expression. Wang Zhifan nodded and decided not to dwell on this issue anymore.

And it happened that at this time, outside Tianyuan City, which was shrouded in a layer of green light because of the activation of the great formation, thousands of cracks of varying sizes appeared in the air out of thin air, and all kinds of hideous demons emerged from them and surged out. There were also two huge creatures descending from the cracks in the sky, causing anyone in the city whose perception was not too poor to instantly know that the enemy had arrived.

"You all stay here! I'll be back soon!"

Wang Zhifan reacted immediately, his figure flew out of the hall and rushed towards the outside of Tianyuan City at an extremely high speed.

In fact, at present, he and three other super-innate Taoists are the only ones in Tianyuan City who have the authority to pass through the city defense formation. All other people, whether cultivators or civilians, are locked up in Tianyuan City. The area outside Tianyuan City is also empty and there is no trace of any human being.

These are the response policies that the Master has promoted recently. Try to disperse and protect fellow human beings in various places. It is not required that every protected area can survive the catastrophe. As long as a small half of them can survive in the end, it will not be too difficult to recover with the rapid reproduction ability of the human race.

As Wang Zhifan was the first to rush out of the Tianyuan City formation and arrived before the enemy, three other powerful figures also followed one after another. They were the three super-innate Taoists of Tianyuan City: Huayangzi, Qingyangzi and Zhenxuzi.

“Fellow Daoist Wu Zun! They are just two demon lords and some minions. We will destroy them all!”

Qingyangzi, who looked like an ordinary middle-aged Taoist priest, quickly came to Wang Zhifan's side and spoke to him in a heroic manner.

He was wearing a golden Taoist robe that was completely different from his usual outfit. He was wearing a cool breeze and looked very imposing. There was no trace of his usual low-key appearance.

"Well, these demons are very ordinary. They are probably the foreshadowing of the demon world's real invasion. But they have to be killed anyway."

Wang Zhifan answered while observing the large group of enemies approaching. The reason he did not rush to take action was that he was analyzing the situation.

At present, it seems that these demons that appeared outside Tianyuan City are just appetizers, just like those in other places in the Disaster Realm, and are deliberately here to waste their energy.

"Leave those two demon lords to me to contain! Everyone, join forces to attack it from the outside!"

"I will first clean up some of the demon generals and demons! Otherwise, the formation will be wasted!"

"Everyone, remember not to waste too much of your own energy!"

……

In an instant, four human super-innate monks started fighting against the demon army led by the two demon lords.

Although the human race had a clear advantage in combat power, they did not fight with all their might. Instead, they tried to defeat their opponents in an orderly manner with minimal losses, thus saving their energy for the subsequent battles.

The white-haired Zhenxuzi was still strong despite his old age. He flicked the dust in his hand and an indestructible white light enveloped him. There were also yin and yang fishes slowly flowing in the white light, allowing him to withstand all kinds of attacks and rush to the enemy formation in front, between the two demon lords.

Then he casually swung the dust in his hand, pulling out two green arcs of light that bound up parts of the bodies of the two demon lords and restricted their mobility.

Similar to the Demon Lords they had dealt with in the past, these two appetizers also had the basic strength of a Demon Lord but lacked much intelligence and characteristics. They matched their stupid appearance of one with a toad head and the other with a wild boar head, and they could be dealt with by spending enough time and energy.

The two Taoists Huayangzi and Qingyangzi followed suit. One of them made sword gestures and sent out continuous sharp sword lights to attack continuously, causing more wounds on the body of the immobile Demon Lord. The other one approached forcefully and gave the Demon Lord close personal service with the mysterious palm method of Taoism, making the Demon Lord feel so comfortable that his skin was torn apart.

Wang Zhifan focused on other minor characters, using the Thunder Dragon Blade in his hand and the Ice Source Power to efficiently clean up the demon generals and ordinary demons that came with the Demon Lord. He knew very well that several of his fellows would definitely fight the Demon Lord first to get more merit points, and he, who didn't need much merit points, just did some side jobs. Anyway, three super-innates would definitely be enough to deal with two poor versions of the Demon Lord.

It is worth mentioning here that although Qingyangzi, one of the three Taoists, did not go to Shuyue City to attend the conference, he was taught the method of summoning the Demon Sealed List some time ago and was also included in the ranking of the Demon Sealed List.

The Master would not be so stingy as to not give opportunities to those super-innate ones who were not present. He and the Three Saints must hope that there would be as many main fighters as possible and the competition would be as intense as possible.

In this way, after about half an incense stick of time, the battle outside Tianyuan City was completely over. All the enemies, including the Demon Lord, were completely destroyed and turned into filthy debris on the ground.

The reason why it was so fast was not only because Wang Zhifan and the other four cooperated well, but also because after they started fighting, more than ten supporters came one after another. They were all super-innate masters on the Demon Sealing List, and they continued to join in the fight against the demons.

These guys were so eager for merit points that they would not miss any opportunity to gain points. Since they did not want to waste the precious teleportation quota twice a day, they simply flew here in the conventional way, which is why they arrived one after another.

After all, although they are all super-innate cultivators from nearby states, they are also at different distances from Tianyuan City. Some of them even rushed here without stopping after just dealing with the enemies at their doorsteps, so it is not easy for them to get together.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Jian! I am so grateful that you can come and help our Tianyuan City solve the demonic problem!"

"No, no! I just want to gain more merit! I won't say anymore. A demon king has also appeared in Huangzhou! I have to go!"

"Ahem... Your Excellency Mingfo, where are the Mingfo people from my Tianyuan City... Wu Zun?"

"You mean the monk with the black forehead? He ran away a long time ago."

"It's incredible. These old guys are so active. How can we compete with them if we continue like this? Why don't we join them?"

"Then you guys go, I'll stay in Tianyuan City to guard it."

"Martial Master is indeed very righteous! I'll have to trouble you then!"

The battle had just ended when three of the four super innates of Tianyuan City ran away and were busy going to the surrounding areas to earn merit points. Only Wang Zhifan, who had no need for points, took the initiative to ask to stay.

This was also the strategy he had decided on before the war. He took a casual attitude towards merit points. He would take as many points as he could get and rank as high as he could. He didn't care about rewards.

"In terms of the Taoist realm of tranquility and inaction, I, a fake, have now surpassed Qing Yangzi and the other three real Taoists... But I can't really say that. I'm just too lazy to deal with the scumbag enemies. If an enemy of sufficient level really appears, I will definitely go for it."

At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was flying alone towards Tianyuan City shrouded in the green light of the formation, complained in his heart while taking out the Demon Sealing List to check.

He discovered that even though the Demon Lord had arrived in large numbers, the number one on the Demon Sealing List was still the Buddhist super-innate named "Demon Tathagata". However, his merit points had skyrocketed from over 500 to over 1,000, which showed how hard he had worked in the past hour or two.

The second on the list is a man named "Tai Xi Ru Jian". The word "Ru" in his name means he is a master of Confucianism. His points are just over a thousand.

The third camp on the list is a little bit hard to tell, "Extreme Yuan Overlord", I don't know which school of Taoism, Buddhism or Confucianism he belongs to. His points are less than a thousand, but the difference is already close.

As for Wang Zhifan himself, his points have exceeded 300 points, but his ranking has dropped by more than 100 points and is now close to 300th place. This shows how fierce the competition is on the Demon Sealing List.

But just like the decision Wang Zhifan had made long ago, he didn't care at all about his points or ranking, he just took a look out of curiosity.

"Brother Fan, have you cleared out the Demon Lords so quickly? Not a single demon has appeared on my side yet."

The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword sent a message to Wang Zhifan on the Demon Sealing List. They had been communicating frequently through it in recent times, and whenever they were not together, they used it as a daily communication tool.

"We have finished cleaning it up, and it was very easy because there were so many people who wanted to earn merit points, and those two useless demon lords simply couldn't handle everyone's enthusiasm."

Wang Zhifan explained it casually so that the dragon girl, who was asked by the clan leader to guard his clan, would know the details.

Different from other forces in the Disaster Realm, the Mieyue Clan led by Mieyue Aotian also covets the merit points, but they are more worried that their own clan will be taken special care of by the army of the Demon Realm, so they dare not run out to provide support. All the masters of the clan stay in the clan and are on high alert.

The two of them talked remotely for a few more words. As soon as Wang Zhifan returned to the Wu Zun Hall, he heard a message from Long Dao:

"Brother Fan, we have demon lords on our side too. There are three of them in total, but their strength is average. The clan leader alone suppressed them all without any support."

"Well, if you need any help over there, let me know immediately."

Wang Zhifan responded to her immediately and took a look at the relevant area of ​​the Demon Sealing List.

He found that as expected, three small crimson dots appeared around the Moon-Destroying Clan's territory in the Ancient Blue Sea area. There was also some light red around these three small crimson dots, representing the affiliated troops that arrived with the Demon Lord.

He observed the ancient blue sea area for two seconds, and saw that one of the three deep red dots began to flicker, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then the other two deep red dots also began to flicker, as if they would die at any time.

"What a fierce firepower! Is it the Azure Dragon True Spirit of the Moon-Exterminating Clan that is exerting its power? Or are there other masters swarming in?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan wanted to ask Long Dao this question directly, but considering that she might be in a battle, he suppressed his curiosity.

In the Wu Zun Hall, the three players and He Kuang immediately came forward to greet him when they saw him return.

"Mr. Boss, have you found any traces of those hostile players?"

The island girl is currently most concerned about this aspect, so she was the first to ask.

"not yet."

Wang Zhifan replied calmly.

"But I estimate that by tonight, or at most tomorrow morning, the demon army will come and attack us, and those hostile players will also appear together...

Because the Demon Realm has already completed most of the groundwork and exploration, the main course must be served, it depends on whether we can eat it."

He made another prediction based on the current situation.
