People are in the heavens, starting as Li Xingyun

Chapter 368: Low-profile version of the battle between gods and demons
However, perhaps it is just as the old saying goes, being too clever by half will ultimately backfire.

Just when Shu Ming thought he had accomplished his mission and was about to become a god by slaughtering demons, he was ambushed by a ghost named Lei Yuange.

As a result, not only did he fail to obtain the coveted position of supreme god, but he was sent to the Demon Locking Tower by the heaven and became the so-called 'Prison King'. From then on, he could only guard the gloomy Demon Locking Tower for eternity and live a life in darkness.

Shen Sui Xin found this result very interesting. A despicable and shameless person like this who killed his wife and betrayed his friends deserved such an ending. To some extent, it even made them feel more uncomfortable than death.

"Evil demon, you are finally here!"

On the other side, seeing Shen Sui Xin's appearance, Zhenyu Mingwang, who had been waiting for a long time, also pulled up a ferocious arc at the corner of his mouth, which created an extremely strong contrast with his skin of the guardian god.

"Oh, from what you said, it seems that you still want to fight with me."

Shen Suixin raised his eyebrows, and then his tone became a little puzzled: "Why do you want to do such a stupid thing? Isn't it better to be alive?"

When he was strolling on the upper level of the Demon Locking Tower before, Shen Sui Xin felt that someone was secretly spying on him. He didn't care and just casually used his divine sense to repel the person and ignored him.

After arriving at the bottom of the tower, Shen Sui Xin quickly figured out from his aura that the person who was spying was the Prison Suppressing King in front of him.

Logically speaking, the other party should have understood the huge gap in strength between them long ago. Not immediately begging for mercy from him was already a sign of great backbone. How could he possibly say such arrogant words?

Unless... he has something else to rely on?

"Hmph! You ignorant demon, you know nothing about power."

Seeing that Shen Sui Xin looked down on him so much, Zhenyu Mingwang's expression instantly turned cold, and at the same time, his aura continued to rise, rapidly expanding from its original level that was only slightly stronger than the Ascension Realm, and soon exceeded the limit of a human cultivator.

buzzing-

At this moment, a deafening buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the entire Demon Locking Tower seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.

Soon after, chains made of golden runes flew out from the Seven-Star Dragon Pillar in the distance. They shot towards Shen Sui Xin and coiled around his limbs and torso like snakes, hanging him in the air in a cross shape. Combined with the golden electric light that filled the surroundings, it gave people a sense of the crucifixion of Jesus.

"See? This is the power bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, specially used to kill you, the arrogant evil demon. Obediently accept death!"

As Zhenyu Mingwang said this, the expression on his face gradually became fiery, and then he raised his six arms high, and with his tremendous divine power, he transformed into six weapons: a sword, a demon-subduing pestle, a golden hammer, a giant axe, a trident, and a steel knife. Then, all six arms moved at the same time, wielding the weapons like a wheel, and chopped towards Shen Suixin who was bound in mid-air.

But the strange thing was that when Shen Sui Xin saw that he was about to be hacked into pieces by six weapons, he was not panicked at all, and even felt like laughing.

At this moment, a blood-red sword light suddenly appeared and blocked Shen Sui Xin in front of him.

"boom--------!!!"

The huge sword shadow covered an area of ​​dozens of meters, as if an ordinary sword was suddenly magnified hundreds of times, and collided fiercely with the six weapons, causing a deafening roar in the air and rolling up a dazzling white light, submerging all the scenes in the light.

"what!"

Upon seeing this, Zhenyu Mingwang ignored the blazing white light and suddenly widened his eyes, apparently having recognized the origin of the huge sword shadow.

Heavenly Sword Technique!

This move is one of the Shushan sect's true and unique skills. It is very different from the sword energy-differentiated attack methods such as the Ten Thousand Swords Technique and the Sword God Technique. It is a unique move in which the practitioner releases all the sword energy in the body and condenses a huge flying sword phantom to destroy the powerful enemy with fierce sword force.

Zhenyu Mingwang was once a disciple of Shushan, so of course he knew the power of this move.

But as far as he knew, Dugu Yuyun, the most powerful cultivator in Shushan, was proficient in swordsmanship, but was better at the Sword God style. His attainments in the Heavenly Sword Art were not that high, let alone using this move to block his own greatly increased strength.

While he was wondering, the light in front of him slowly faded away. In addition to Shen Sui Xin who was hanging in the air, there was also a handsome young man with black hair and red eyes.

"You are... Jiang Qing?!"

Recognizing the handsome young man's appearance and identity, the Hell-Suppressing King was even more shocked. Especially after discovering the other person's breath of life, he couldn't help but shouting: "You are alive? How is this possible!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Qing snorted coldly and looked at the Prison King with contempt, as if he was looking at a pile of uncombustible garbage.

Jiang Qing was the most outstanding disciple of Shushan a hundred years ago. When he went astray and broke into the Demon Locking Tower, the Hell King probably had not yet joined Shushan.

However, because of this, he knew basically everything about this guy's subsequent actions, and naturally looked down on this bastard who sold out his friends for fame and fortune. If he didn't have a divine position in heaven, and if he hadn't been in a state of confusion and madness for many years, he would have probably come to the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower and chopped this guy who brought shame to the Shushan Sect into pieces.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qing's mouth curled up suddenly, and then he turned around, half-knelt and saluted Shen Suixin under the stunned gaze of Zhenyu Mingwang, and said: "My Lord, this person dared to offend you just now, do you want to chop off his head to atone for his sins?"

Shen Sui Xin had said before that he should address him as "Your Excellency" or "Master", but Jiang Qing had difficulty making the decision due to his personal experience, so he decided to compromise and address him as "Your Excellency", which sounded more respectful.

"Yes, it seems that you have adapted to the role of a lackey."

Shen Suixin glanced at Jiang Qing with a smile, still keeping his body bound, looking at the Prison-Suppressing King in the distance, and said lightly: "Your suggestion is good, but not good enough."

"He's just a hairy god guarding a prison, yet he dares to speak to me so arrogantly. Just beheading him is too easy for him. He should be cut into pieces at least... What do you think? Do you have the confidence to do it?"

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Jiang Qing grinned, stood up and looked at the completely confused Zhenyu Mingwang, raised the Seven-Star Sword in his hand and pointed it forward, shouting: "Shu Ming, the unworthy disciple of Shushan, why don't you step forward and die!"

"Damn it! You are a Shushan traitor who is harboring evil spirits. How dare you say that to me!"

The Hell-Suppressing King said angrily, “Jiang Qing, do you think you are still the Shushan genius from a hundred years ago? Times have long since changed. I am a righteous god canonized by the heaven, and my strength has far surpassed yours. I didn’t cause trouble for you before only because you were a Shushan disciple. But since you are so ungrateful, I will clean up the mess today and kill you and that evil demon here together, to comfort the spirits of the Shushan ancestors in heaven!” After that, the Hell-Suppressing King’s huge body disappeared from the spot. The next second, he appeared in front of Shen Suixin, who was bound by rune chains, and then swung out the sword in one hand, cutting him in half.

"Hmph! The evil demon is dead. Now..."

The Prison-Suppressing King sneered, and before he could finish his words, a sword light flashed before his eyes, so he quickly dodged sideways and raised the weapons on his three arms to block.

The next second, unimaginable force came along with the weapon. Zhenyu Mingwang could not help but take a half step back. He was shocked to find that although he had greatly increased his strength not long ago, he was unable to completely suppress the opponent at this moment. He even felt a little pressure instead.

Besides being surprised, the Hell-Suppressing King felt it was unbelievable.

He knew very well that in terms of talent alone, he was not even worthy of carrying Jiang Qing's shoes. However, he had been a god for decades and possessed the blessing of the divine nature. His fundamental strength far surpassed that of ordinary Ascending Realm cultivators.

In addition, "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven" had just strengthened himself not long ago, and was confident that he could fight even against the genuine generals of the heaven. How could he be suppressed by a human cultivator who had been dead for nearly a hundred years? It was simply absurd.

But Zhenyu Mingwang had no idea that after Jiang Qing's body was reshaped by Shen Sui Xin with demonic energy, his foundation had already become the same as that of the immortals and gods in this world. All his personal attributes had doubled and were no longer measurable by the concepts of human cultivators.

In addition, during the years in the Demon Locking Tower, Jiang Qing was not completely in a crazy and confused state. He often studied swordsmanship and various skills.

With his talent and aptitude, these things have long reached a superb level. Combined with his cultivation foundation comparable to that of a demon, the power he can exert is by no means as simple as 1+1>2.

Ding ding ding ding ding————

Ding ding ding ding ding————

The sound of metal clashing was incessant, echoing throughout the Demon Locking Tower. Even people outside could see that the Demon Locking Tower was shaking violently, like a boat sailing in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

And inside the Demon Locking Tower, Jiang Qing, who was emitting pure demonic energy, was waging a real battle between gods and demons with the King of Hell.

Although their cultivation levels are certainly not as high as Fei Peng and Chong Lou in the past, their fight was still so fierce that it was dark and chaotic, and could be regarded as the best fight in the world.

Although Jiang Qing had just become a demon and his foundation was inferior to that of the Prison-Suppressing King, his battle awareness and attainments in swordsmanship far surpassed his opponent. Often, the attacks of the Prison-Suppressing King could not even touch the corners of his clothes, or were directly blocked, but Jiang Qing's sword energy and sword intent could easily hurt the opponent.

In this way, as time goes by, Zhenyu Mingwang will gradually show signs of decline. If he continues to delay, he will most likely be exhausted to death by Jiang Qing.

but……

"This guy seems to have some problems."

In a corner somewhere at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower, Shen Sui Xin, who had been "beheaded" by the Prison King before, was now watching this low-profile version of the battle between gods and demons safely and soundly. There were golden flames dancing in his eyes. He followed closely the two figures fighting fiercely in mid-air with a thoughtful look on his face.

From his perspective, although Zhenyu Mingwang had been getting beaten, there seemed to be extremely terrifying energy hidden in his body. It was just because this guy was too weak that he couldn't even unleash one tenth of his power.

Otherwise, the person being beaten would be Jiang Qing.

The most important thing is that that power felt very familiar to Shen Sui Xin. It was somewhat similar to the strange creatures he had seen before, but it was not quite the same, as if it was mixed with something else.

"Godhood? Is the power of the gods related to weirdness, or has the current gods been polluted by the extraterritorial demons?"

Thinking of the side quest that was triggered when he came into contact with the weirdness before, Shen Sui Xin couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. The look he gave to the Prison King became much deeper, as if he was looking at a little white mouse that was extremely valuable for research and was ready to dissect it at any time.

"No matter what, let's take this guy down first!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

The next second, boundless sword energy suddenly descended on the battlefield in the distance, and thirty-six figures in black robes appeared out of thin air, forming a mysterious sword formation, blocking the space in all directions and suppressing the Prison King who was already running around everywhere, making him unable to move.

It is obvious that these thirty-six black-robed figures were once disciples of Shushan. They chased Jiang Qing into the Demon Locking Tower and were killed by Jiang Qing after he was possessed by the devil. Only a few residual souls were left wandering in the Demon Locking Tower for a hundred years.

They were all the best disciples of Shushan during their lifetime. Although they could not be compared with Jiang Qing, most of them had strength close to the Wanxiang Realm. At this moment, they were resurrected as demons by Shen Sui Xin with the "Heavenly Demon Sutra", and their cultivation realm was further improved, comparable to the cultivators in the Dongxu Realm.

With such a level of cultivation, if they join forces to form the Tiangang Sword Formation, even the demon kings in the demon world would have to treat them with caution.

Therefore, Zhenyu Mingwang was trapped in this square sword formation. No matter how he exerted the power in his body, he could not do anything for a while and could only be beaten.

"cut!!"

While you are sick, I will kill you!
Jiang Qing, who had an excellent grasp of the rhythm of the battle, naturally would not miss this good opportunity to beat the enemy when he was down. Almost at the moment when the Tiangang Sword Technique appeared, he once again mobilized the magic power in his body with all his strength and performed the Tianjian Technique.

In an instant, wisps of red sword energy quickly condensed and in the blink of an eye turned into a giant blood-red sword over a hundred feet long.

buzzing-

The sword whistled down, and the sharp sword intent rang out. With the cooperation of the sword formation below, it easily hit the imprisoned Zhenyu Mingwang. The tip of the sword pierced through the golden light protecting his chest, tore his flesh and blood, and sank into it inch by inch.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah----"

The Hell-Suppressing King roared to the sky, and under the fear of death, his strength increased again. He actually broke free from the suppression of the Tiangang Sword Formation. His six arms regained their freedom and grabbed both sides of the blood-red giant sword shadow.

Infinite divine power erupted in an instant, directly crushing the blood-colored sword shadow. However, before Zhenyu Mingwang could breathe a sigh of relief, a white fist suddenly enlarged infinitely in his eyes, and hit his head with the momentum to suppress everything.

boom----! ! !
The fist pressed down horizontally, and the terrifying power burst out like a tidal wave, but the force was precisely controlled and condensed into a line, without causing any ripples in the surrounding area.

As for the Prison-Suppressing King, who was the main target, his three-meter-tall burly Dharma body fell apart like sand, and his soul was wiped out together, leaving only a gray divine body floating in the air, proving his former existence.
