Chapter 464 Searching for an old friend
Xuanzhou in the eastern part of the disaster zone is the target activity range that Wang Zhifan concluded after combining multiple pieces of intelligence. It is also the place where the Demon Lord who killed Xiaoyao Youlong, Emperor Tianhua, and Damao Jueqiang recently appeared.

His information mainly came from Taoist Wutanwudi and Old Man Fumo. These two top cultivators who were proficient in many strange methods had already found out that the one who caused yesterday's tragic incident was just a Demon Lord, a Demon Lord who was suspected to have recently appeared in the disaster realm and whose strength was so powerful that it was difficult to understand.

"I guess this demon lord has some special abilities, but no matter what, I have to find it and kill it to prevent more human cultivators from falling into its clutches."

Wang Zhifan has been teleported to Xuanzhou, which was once the place where the demon army descended. The first top-level city to be destroyed, Shuyue City, was located here.

But Xuanzhou is very large, and after a few months, the demon army has long been dispersed. Therefore, the current number of demons in Xuanzhou is not as many as most people think, but it is still more dangerous than most other areas in the disaster area.

At this moment, Wang Zhifan, wearing a wind-hiding hat, entered an invisible state. While flying high in the sky, he held the Demon Sealing List and searched for suspected targets. He ignored most of the enemies he met along the way and focused on the hunting mission that had been determined.

After a while, he approached a Demon Lord on the ground below, a Demon Lord who was marching surrounded by many demon generals and ordinary demons.

"It's actually the Demon Lord who has been acting alone for a long time... But its aura seems off and its strength is a bit average. It should not be the target I'm looking for... So let's just get rid of it!"

Generally speaking, Wang Zhifan would not act rashly today, so as not to alert the enemy and expose his whereabouts.

But the situation before him was different. This Demon Lord was like a fragrant takeaway placed on the ground, and there was no one else around for a long distance. He would feel a little guilty if he didn't take action.

So, Wang Zhifan, who was in invisible state, attacked instantly, and his first attack was the most ruthless mode, leaving the opponent no chance to fight back.

"Time stops!"

"Annihilation Aura!"

He was seen approaching the top of the Demon Lord invisibly, and the moment he took out the epic Blade of Time, he activated its time-stop skill, freezing the Demon Lord's body to prevent him from using his spatial ability to escape. After all, the demons in this earth realm had probably built formations everywhere, so he had to be on guard.

Activating the annihilation aura of the epic Demon King Armor is to quickly deal with the surrounding demon generals and ordinary demons.

After several months of fighting, Wang Zhifan had already figured out that this Annihilation Aura had incredible damage. It could cause effective and continuous damage to the Demon Lord level, and almost kill instantly those below the Demon Lord level. It was extremely efficient and did not consume any of his own energy. It was more convenient than using the epic ice source power.

Then, during the one-second time stop, Wang Zhifan launched the most violent attack with the Blade of Time in his hand.

His figure moved as fast as a phantom, and the light of his sword was as bright as the morning glow. Every time he swung his sword, he accurately hit the vital points of the Demon Lord. He was also constantly evaluating whether to seamlessly connect to the next time stop skill, but after observing the Demon Lord's condition, he chose to give up.

The reason was that this Demon Lord died before the end of one second. Just as he expected, its strength was really ordinary, at least its ability to withstand injuries was definitely a bit lame.

As for the demon generals and demon lords surrounding him, they died even faster. They were all killed within one tenth of a second after the annihilation aura was activated. When the first second was over, even their corpses were completely dissolved by the annihilation damage.

"This killing is getting a bit boring... let's move on to the next one."

Feeling bored, Wang Zhifan then used the Annihilation Halo to dispose of the body of the Demon Lord, and then continued his journey of stealthily searching for the enemy, and rushed to the place where the Demon Lord appeared on the map of the Demon Sealing List.

It can be said that the full-map function of the Demon Sealed List is the biggest reason why he is willing to look for a needle in a haystack, so that he doesn't have to rush around without any clues in this hunt. It just takes a lot of time and the risk in the process is also a bit high.

In this way, Wang Zhifan's actions today proceeded neither fast nor slow. During the process, he approached and observed many demon lords in stealth.

Most of the Demon Lords gathered together, making it inconvenient for him to attack them, and only a few gave him the opportunity to kill them alone.

However, considering the concealment of his personal whereabouts, he did not take action every time. Most of the time, he would quietly leave after making sure that the person was not the target.

When the time went from morning to afternoon, he had already run across most of Xuanzhou and identified nearly a hundred Demon Lords, but his luck was not good. He did not find the target, and it seemed that the target was not in Xuanzhou at the moment.

“According to Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di, this demon lord killed Emperor Tian Hua, and he will be more or less tainted with the aura of Tian Hua’s national destiny.

But I have searched so many targets, but I haven't found any of the aura of Emperor Tianhua that I met at the Fire Spirit Island Conference... It seems that after searching Xuanzhou, I have to expand the scope of exploration."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan took out the Demon Sealing List in a hidden place and communicated with several allies, hoping that they could provide the latest intelligence so that he could narrow the scope of the subsequent search as much as possible.

Among them, the Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di quickly said that he was still making further calculations and the results would come out soon, which should be able to help him.

The old man who subdues demons responded that he had sent out a hundred newly created special clones to help search in the Xuanzhou area, and asked him to be patient, because as long as the Demon Lord did not leave Xuanzhou, he would not be able to hide for long.

"Good fellow, it seems that these two are just going to lay low, only preparing to play supporting roles instead of being the main players, and they don't plan to fight for the top spot...

Perhaps this is the case with older monks, and dangerous things like fighting and killing are left to the young people..."

After communicating with the second and third place on the current Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Back when Demon Tathagata was still alive, this King of Rolls widened the gap in merit points with everyone else in a very short period of time. Only the Confucian master Taixi Rujian was trying tirelessly to catch up.

But the incident at Jiyuan Mountain caused the deaths of these two most popular people, making Wang Zhifan, who had never thought of becoming number one but just wanted to pass the level quickly, unknowingly become the second generation number one king. It can be said that it was a bit of fate.

Of course, Wang Zhifan could also speculate that the two old men below were not willing to lie down, but wanted to take advantage of his confrontation with the powerful Demon Lord to get to the top, so they pushed his hunting operation with all their strength.

For example, if he and the Demon Lord both died in battle, or if he fought desperately and severely injured the Demon Lord, they would come and take advantage of the situation with tears in their eyes.

In that case, as long as the war continues, they can gradually increase their merit points to surpass the dead Wang Zhifan.

But even if the second and third place rankings really thought so, Wang Zhifan had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The reward for being number one on the Demon Sealing List is extremely tempting, and it's normal for those on the second and third places to put some thought into it within the rules. It's not that they forced him to hunt the enemy alone, he chose to do so himself.

While waiting for the intelligence, Wang Zhifan was not idle. He continued to explore the remaining areas of Xuanzhou, stealthily approaching the few remaining unexplored Demon Lords. He did not expect to find the target successfully, but was doing it almost as a routine.

Not long after, he passed by a familiar place in the sky, but it was not Shuyue City where he had attended the conference before, but the first city he visited after arriving in this copy world.

This city, like Shuyue City, has now become a ruin, but Wang Zhifan still recognized it from its overall structure and some details.

"This piece of ruins is... Shuqiu City? It turns out that the place where I landed was in Xuanzhou. Shuyue City and Shuqiu City, from the names we can tell that they are related. I didn't expect that they are in the same state..." Surprised, Wang Zhifan slowed down his speed.

He glanced at the ruins of Shuqiu City below, where only a few demons could be seen moving around, and then looked up at the nearby mountains, trying to find the place where he had landed when he came to this copy, a small village called Sanfeng Village.

It is easy to predict that in the context of the invasion of the demon world, the Sanfeng Village that once gave him a feeling of prosperity and tranquility must have now become a ruin, also slaughtered and occupied by the invading demons.

Bang!Bang!
At this moment, an unusual noise attracted Wang Zhifan's attention.

The noise came from somewhere in the ruins of Shuqiu City below. Wang Zhifan, who was in invisible state, moved closer to check and found that a fierce battle was taking place in the ruins.

I saw a man with disheveled hair suddenly rushing out from a building in the ruins, holding a long sword and fighting like a madman with a dozen stationed demons.

It can be seen that this crazy man is not very strong, probably not even at the innate realm, but his whole body is filled with violent aura and exudes traces of blood, and he is fighting desperately with the devil.

"Why are there still humans here? Shouldn't the demons have killed all the humans long ago?"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan was confused. He never expected that there would still be living people in Xuanzhou, a place where the demon army had descended.

With curious eyes, he watched the crazy man in the ruins below, who was wielding a sword and killing ordinary demons around him, trying to figure out where the man came from.

But it was this kind of observation that soon made him look astonished, and his invisible body began to fall quickly towards the ruins.

At the same time, in the ruins, a crazy man with disheveled hair had killed all the demons around him with a sword.

His eyes were bloodshot, veins were faintly visible on his face, and his clothes were dirty and messy. He had just killed the demons around him and was jumping continuously on the roof of the ruined building, trying to find other targets to attack.

But the target came into his sight the next second, flying towards him like a huge cannonball, with a terrifying and powerful momentum.

There was no doubt that the visitor was a demon general wandering nearby. He was attracted by the noise of the crazy man killing demons just now, and was ready to forcefully destroy this man who was recklessly venturing into a deadly place.

Unexpectedly, the arrival of the demon general only aroused the man's madness. He suddenly roared in anger, and the sound was so loud that it was simply not something a human could make.

"Ah!!! Die!!!"

The disheveled man with a sword suddenly jumped up from a broken roof, raised the sword in his hand and charged with all his strength. The blood and energy burst out of his body, and he rushed towards the demon general who was attacking at high speed without hesitation.

The demon general, who clearly had the advantage in strength, was for a moment surprised by the man's madness. He even changed his direction a bit in mid-air and gave up on a head-on confrontation with this crazy guy. Even if the two sides collided, it would most likely be the winner.

The confrontation between the two sides happened extremely quickly. As two figures, one big and one small, crossed each other, they fell from the sky to the ruins on the ground at the same time. Then one of them completely lost his life and turned into a dead thing.

"Why... am I not dead?"

The disheveled man who fell into the ruins and stood on the messy street was suddenly shocked.

He put down the slightly bent sword in his hand, looked at his waist and abdomen, and found that there was miraculously no damage there, which seriously went against his understanding.

Because his attack on the demon general just now was full of death, he also saw that the demon general suddenly avoided his sword and stretched out a sharp claw to his waist and abdomen, wanting to cut him in half with one blow.

But he had no chance to dodge at that time, and he didn't care about dodging. He accepted his fate of dying here.

However, the result was completely different from what he expected. Not only was he still alive, he was miraculously not injured in the confrontation with the demon general just now.

On the contrary, the demon general at the back was like a stone falling to the ground, and there has been no movement until now.

"Forget it...it's fine if he's not dead...I'm going to kill him again!"

The man thought about it and turned around, ready to finish off the demon general whose condition was unknown behind him.

But when he turned around, the first thing he saw was not the demon general lying stiffly on the ground, but a tall young man, a figure that seemed somewhat familiar to him.

"Zhang Siqian, how did you become like this?"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan appeared with a frown on his face, his eyes fixed on the crazy man with disheveled hair in front of him, and asked with a tone of disbelief.

It was only now that he was completely certain that the crazy man in front of him was the Confucian scholar Zhang Siqian, the first native he met in this copy world, and the gentle and elegant young Confucian monk in his memory.

He still remembered that the last time he saw him was before the war started, on the street in Shuyue City, next to a stall selling women's accessories. At that time, this man was not the madman in front of him.

At that time, he was wearing a chic silver-white Confucian robe and a black scholar's hat, and was accompanied by a young female companion, his eyes full of newlywed happiness.

"Wang...Master Wang...I...I..."

Zhang Siqian, with bloodshot eyes, also recognized Wang Zhifan at this moment.

There was a look of astonishment on his bulging face, and his lips moved but he couldn't utter complete words, making him, who looked like a madman with disheveled hair, finally look a little bit normal.

"Is it because your family was killed by a demon that made you become like this?"

Feeling that the person might not have spoken to anyone for some time, Wang Zhifan did not embarrass him and started to guess.

"Ah."

Zhang Siqian in front of him nodded slightly, his bloodshot eyes full of death, and replied:

"My parents, my wife, my brothers and sisters were all eaten by the demons."
