There is no sun or moon in the sky of the demon world. In other words, Li Zhi and others cannot tell the difference between day and night.
The originally slightly gray sky was now completely black, with a neat six-horizontal and six-vertical square array lying across the road ahead of Li Zhi and others.
The sixty-six and thirty-six men in black did not have their faces covered, but they all had faces that looked like they were painted with black paint. Apart from a pair of eyes and mouths, there was really nothing clean about them.
Just standing there quietly, if it weren't for the layers of demonic energy rising from each body and the eyes that flashed from time to time, people would think that these were just thirty-six stone statues.
But in front of this phalanx, there are five people, two of whom stand in front, and the other three are slightly behind. It seems that those three are the leaders of the phalanx.
The person who spoke just now was one of the people in Tuqian, but Li Zhi didn't recognize him.
What surprised Li Zhi even more was that this person was a woman, wearing the same black dress and black skirt, vaguely looking like it was lined with a layer of fine armor?
There was a strange hair accessory on her head, two sharp eyes, and her face was a rare dark purple. She stood there without saying a word, but it gave people the feeling that no one should approach her.
This woman gives people a very strange feeling. Objectively speaking, this woman's appearance is pretty standard, especially her figure. Even with a black skirt covering her body, she can't hide her hotness.
Looking from a distance, the whole body is also steaming with demonic energy. Looking closely, it is faintly enveloped by Buddhist energy, which makes Li Zhi puzzled for a moment.
The other person in front of him was the only person Li Zhi had ever seen. He was the man in black clothes and black robe who appeared when Nezha was crossing the "Daluo Golden Immortal" thunder tribulation.
The other party claimed to be from the "Holy Demon Realm", one of the three holy places in the demon world, and Nezha, who suddenly became the "Great Luo Golden Immortal", directly sacrificed the souls of his two apprentices.
At this time, Li Zhi saw clearly that the man in black clothes and black robe was a python turned spirit, the middle stage of the "Daluo Golden Immortal".
As for the other woman, she was a scorpion, and she was also in the middle stage of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal", but Li Zhi felt that this woman might be even more difficult to deal with.
Demons, Buddhas, and demons are fellow practitioners. This is the first time that Li Zhi has encountered such a person in so many years.
"The demons of the 'Holy Demon Realm'? What a grand display! Those two demons died in my hands. If you are not afraid of death, come and take revenge——"
Seeing the man in black clothes and robe, Nezha knew that this was the cause of the trouble. Before Li Zhi could say anything, he stepped on the "Hot Fire Wheel" under his feet and came to the front of the phalanx.
"Oh, grandma, who do you think is so bold? It turns out to be the 'Great God of the Three Tan Haihui' who is powerful in the three realms. However, I have always heard that the third prince is the 'Taiyi Golden Immortal' who has lived for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that he would actually go to the devil world.
Laidu's 'Daluo Jinxian' is in trouble."
As soon as Nezha stood up, the woman on the opposite side came up to him, holding a smaller "Three-pronged Sky-holding Fork" in her hand.
This "three-pronged sky-holding fork" should not be underestimated. It is the unique weapon of the scorpion spirit. In fact, it was transformed by the two pincer legs of the scorpion spirit when it was transforming.
It can be taken out and taken back at will. Even compared to Sun Wukong's "Ruyi Golden Cudgel", it has a bit more arbitrary meaning.
The current Nezha is the late cultivation level of "Daluo Jinxian", and he is famous in the three realms for his combat prowess. It can be said that the current Nezha is probably capable of fighting even against an ordinary "quasi-sage". But the scorpion spirit opposite didn't seem to be afraid of Nezha, and even revealed Nezha's identity in one word.
"Who are you? Since you know my identity, you must be from the Three Realms, right?"
Hearing that the other party had revealed his identity and even his own realm could be seen clearly. Under such circumstances, the other party still stood there calmly and calmly, which had to make even Nezha, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, become cautious.
.
"Keke, you don't need to know who my aunt is yet, but soon the whole three realms will hear her name."
"Three Realms? They are just a bunch of sanctimonious ugly people. The humiliation that my aunt suffered there will definitely be recovered a hundred times or a thousand times -"
When Nezha asked about the origin of the scorpion spirit, the other party actually became excited, his eyes twinkled, but the Buddhist aura on his body seemed to be getting heavier?
"Hmph, since I don't want to reveal my origins, I don't bother to ask you again, just take the gun——"
Nezha didn't have a good temper to begin with, but after integrating the origin of "Ling Zhuzi", his temper seemed to become even more "violent".
In a battle on the battlefield, Nezha doesn't care whether the opponent is a man or a woman, a demon or a monster. With the "Purple Flame Snake Spear" in his hand, he will stab him when he is distracted.
"Hmph, the 'Great God of Three Tanhaihui' is such a big name, but I have just broken through to the realm of 'Daluo Golden Immortal'. Are you really afraid of me as an aunt?——"
Not to be outdone, the scorpion spirit didn't even dodge Nezha's "Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Tip Spear". He directly raised the "Three-pronged Heavenly Fork" in his hand and actually had a head-on confrontation with Nezha.
"Danglanglang——"
The deafening sound simultaneously generated two powerful air waves that spread in all directions, one rushing towards Li Zhi's side, and the other heading towards the phalanx behind Scorpion's spirit.
Li Zhi gently waved the "Sea Purple Gold Beam" in his hand, turning the air waves in his face invisible. He couldn't let the air waves hurt Xiao Liluo behind him.
But the phalanx on the opposite side didn't move at all.
Among the thirty-six demons who make up the square formation, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are among the "Xuanxian", and there are even some strong ones from the "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
After forming the square formation, the power burst out, even the ordinary "Daluo Jinxian" at the peak may not dare to ignore its edge.
......
From the three realms? Scorpion spirit? Buddha energy?......
Looking at the scorpion spirit fighting with Nezha, Li Zhi felt inexplicably familiar for a while, but he was 100% sure that he had never seen this scorpion spirit before?
"That old man in black robe, you and I will never fight again——"
Seeing Nezha fighting with the opponent, Rutoluo who was standing aside also jumped out and nodded to call the opponent's man in black clothes and black robe.
"Humph, Rutoro, am I afraid of you? Remember your choice today, and it will be your 'benefits' to meet your ancestor in the future."
The black-robed man did not show weakness, but this time he was no longer bare-handed. With a wave of his hand, a black-gold wand was already in his hand.
This is not the first time that Rutoro and this man in black have fought against each other. At least in Li Zhi's opinion, Rutoro is definitely not in any danger.
As for Nezha and the scorpion spirit, who had fought for dozens of rounds, the two fought extremely fiercely from the beginning. Even though Nezha had reached the late stage of "Daluo Jinxian", he still couldn't defeat the opponent.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you, an evil beast, to have such fighting power. Let me show you my 'Sky-Breaking Spear Technique' today -"
Eighty rounds have passed, and the two of them are still in an undefeated situation. Nezha can no longer hold his breath anymore. He changed the move of "Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Pointed Spear" and used the "Sky-Breaking Spear" again.
"Secret".
At this time, Scorpion Spirit was a little unable to resist.
"The Sky-Breaking Spear Technique" is not only powerful and heavy, but also contains the power to break the sky. The Scorpion Spirit's "Three-Pronged Sky-Breaking Fork" was hit one after another and almost broke.
After more than a dozen rounds, Nezha seemed to have the upper hand. "Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Spear" could only hear the sound of gunfire but not the shadow of the gun. The Scorpion Spirit was already retreating steadily.
"Bad beast, I think it's not easy for you to cultivate, so I'll leave you a whole body..."
The "Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Spear" took a step forward and was about to hit the Scorpion Spirit's head, but Nezha forcibly moved the tip of the spear half a foot to the side and wanted to hit her on the shoulder.
.
"Ah——"
At this moment, a miserable cry was suddenly heard from Nezha's mouth. Even the "Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Spear" could not be held on, and the whole person fell off the "Hot Fire Wheel".
"Second brother——"
Li Zhi hurriedly jumped up and stretched out his hands to catch the falling Nezha.
"It hurts...it hurts me too——"
Look at Nezha at this time, with his eyes closed and his head in his hands. If Li Zhi hadn't hugged him in time, Nezha would have rolled on the ground.
On Nezha's forehead, a large bump was visible to the naked eye, about the size of a chicken. It was red and swollen, and the top of the big bump was already black, ulcerated, and dripping with water.
Is this poisoning?
When the "Breaking Golden Eyes" reappeared, Li Zhi saw several dark red silk-like thin strips on Nezha's entire forehead, jumping for joy, as if they wanted to completely occupy Nezha's entire head?
"'Poison Stall'? Are you from Xiniu Hezhou, Poison Mountain's 'Pipa Cave' scorpion spirit?"
By now, Li Zhi finally knew who the scorpion spirit in front of him was. Unfortunately, it was too late. Nezha accidentally fell into the opponent's trap.
"Oh, who are you? You actually know my aunt's whereabouts?"
The scorpion spirit originally wanted to chase after him and kill Nezha directly, but he didn't want to kill another person halfway.
Not only did he catch the fallen Nezha, but he even broke his own legs as soon as he opened his mouth.
You know, this scorpion spirit died once, but was rescued by an expert. Not only did she restore her cultivation, but he also taught her supreme magic skills.
In just a few years, Scorpion Spirit jumped from the peak of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" to the middle stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal".
Nowadays, the scorpion spirit of the three cultivators of demon, Buddha and demon despises all opponents of the same level. Even the demons who are at the peak of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" have many defeats in her hands.
Hearing the other party's question, Li Zhi was convinced. It turned out to be this person, and it was not unjust for Brother Nezha to lose.
I think back then, when we were at the Leiyin Temple in the West, this scorpion spirit took advantage of the Tathagata Buddha's unpreparedness and directly pierced the Tathagata's "six-foot-long golden body" with his "horse poison stake".
If a peak "quasi-sage" is like this, let's not talk about Nezha, a person in the later stage of "Daluo Jinxian".
Li Zhi hurriedly grabbed a drop of dew from the lotus heart from the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, and gently dropped it on Nezha's forehead.
The twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus has the ability to create and reshape things. Although the "horse poison pile" is rare in the world, its toxicity is also extremely overbearing. Now it is difficult to face the dew of the lotus heart of the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus.
Make a difference.
Sure enough, after a while, the big bump on Nezha's forehead gradually became smaller and finally disappeared without a trace.
"Fourth, you saved my little brother again..."
Although Nezha just had a splitting headache, what happened next to him and the conversation between Li Zhi and the scorpion spirit were all clear to Nezha.
"Second brother, please don't do this. This scorpion spirit originally came down from Lingshan Mountain. It has listened to Buddhist teachings for many years, and it even pierced the palm of Tathagata Buddha with a 'horse-poisonous stake'."
"Later, this demon became a demon again in the Poison Mountain's 'Pipa Cave', but for some reason he came to the demon world. Now he has developed demonic magical powers, which should not be underestimated."
Nezha has stood up again, and even got back his "Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Tip Spear", and wants to go find the scorpion to settle the accounts.
"Second brother, go and break up the phalanx over there. In my opinion, that phalanx is really a tough nut to crack, and we need someone with strong magic power like the second brother to deal with it."
"As for the scorpion spirit, the second brother will leave it to the younger brother. It just so happens that the younger brother still has some things he wants to find out about from her."
Seeing Nezha's behavior, Li Zhi stopped him in time.
"That's alright, fourth brother, you should be careful. She just released a colorless and odorless gas, which slowed down the little brother's movements, and then she suddenly attacked."
Since Li Zhi said this, Nezha stopped fighting and waved the "Purple Flame Snake Spear and Fire Point Spear" to kill the square formation over there.
......
On Li Zhi's side, Nezha and Rutuoluo both went to fight, and Li Zhi was about to face the Scorpion Spirit. Only Ao Lei, who was in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal", was left to protect Xiao Liluo. p>
To be on the safe side, Li Zhi once again summoned the "True Sun Fire" and repeatedly asked the fire spirit to protect the safety of the little girl.
"Wow, such a cute little sister, Lord, is this your daughter? She is too cute. Come on, call me 'Sister Huo Ling' and listen, giggle..."
After all, she is still a little girl at heart. Now that the war is about to begin, the fire spirit can still be so relaxed and laughing.
However, with the fire spirit in the realm of "Taiyi Xuanxian" and the "True Sun Fire", Xiao Liluo's safety is basically guaranteed.
"I am King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. I wonder how I should address you?——"
The Scorpion Spirit, whose heel was broken, had been watching Li Zhi, even watching him treat Nezha in front of him, and also arranged for the people behind him.
Nothing Li Zhi did meant betraying anyone at all, especially what he said to Nezha, which made Scorpion spirit completely give up.
It seems that the other party really knows me very well.
But, who is this person? Why does he know himself so well?
Scorpion's brain is numb, and she can't figure out how she could meet someone here who she doesn't understand at all, but who understands her completely.
And when she saw Li Zhi using the "True Sun Fire", Scorpion Spirit was inexplicably panicked.
You know, for a cold-type insect like her, the more poisonous it is, the more afraid it is of divine fire, not to mention the famous "True Sun Fire".
"Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty? Are you from the Tang Dynasty too?"
When Li Zhi announced his identity, Scorpion's eyes lit up and he almost exclaimed.
"Why, don't you know other people from the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Zhi asked knowingly, but his tone was cold.
"My name is 'Xie Yan'. Since you can tell me where I am, you should also know about the journey to the west. I also have a relationship with Tang Xuanzang who set out from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty."
Scorpion Spirit said seriously, and even put away the "Three-pronged Heaven-supporting Fork" in his hand.
Xie Yan?
Li Zhi really didn't expect that such a powerful scorpion spirit would have such a gentle name.
Moreover, Li Zhi discovered that when the woman mentioned the three words "Tang Xuanzang", her voice trembled a little and her head lowered a little.
What is the situation?
Regarding Monk Tang's Buddhist scriptures, I'm afraid no one knows more clearly than Li Zhi. It's just that he mixed up the previous paragraph, which changed the taste of the entire Buddhist scriptures team. I wonder if the subsequent experiences will change it?
"One-sided relationship", the term "Scorpion Spirit" is really used in a very subtle way, but Li Zhi knew very well what happened between her and Tang Seng.
"Ahem, to be honest, I originally followed the journey westward, but I left first when something happened on the way."
"Master Xuanzang, strictly speaking, I have to address him as 'uncle'. I wonder if Miss Xie ever made things difficult for my uncle when she saw him?"
Seeing that the opponent had put away all his weapons, Li Zhi naturally couldn't continue holding the "Sea Purple Gold Beam".
Just like that, while Nezha and the others were fighting to the death over there, Li Zhi and the scorpion spirit named "Xie Yan" chatted about daily life as if no one else was around, just like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
......
"I... I will not harm Master Xuanzang, but... it's just that he has no memory of his previous life, and he doesn't recognize me for the time being."
"Unfortunately, no one is willing to believe me. They all think that I will harm them, so they deal with me in various ways, and even find my mortal enemy, the Pleiades Star Officer."
"Later, I had no choice but to seal myself and barely escaped. However, I was...brought to the demon world. Now, he may have already arrived at Lingshan Mountain."
"His Royal Highness King Jin, since you have an old relationship with him, I will no longer interfere in today's affairs. I will also be ordered to rush to the Three Realms. If I see him as soon as possible, I may be able to save his life."
This scorpion spirit may have been suppressed for too long, and no one has ever been willing to listen to her. However, today she met a "suitable" person like Li Zhi, and she spoke out all her thoughts.
But Li Zhi knew that if everything she said was true, then the story told by the scorpion spirit probably started when Tang Monk was still the "Golden Chanzi".
"Thank you very much, Miss Gaoyi, but may I ask you a question? Why do you want to go to the Three Realms?"
Scorpion Jing said a lot just now, but Li Zhi quickly captured some unusual information.
For example, who saved this scorpion spirit? In Li Zhi’s impression, she died in the hands of the "Pleiades Star Official".
For example, who taught her the magic skills? Looking at this posture, she is not the only one rushing to the Three Realms.
For another example, if Monk Tang has gone to Lingshan to complete his great mission of learning scriptures, that is to say, he will become a Buddha and an ancestor. Why do you need this scorpion spirit to rush over to rescue him?
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please respect yourself. Whatever I can say, I will tell you naturally. What I can't say, you can't even expect to find out anything from my mouth. I'll take my leave -"
Haha, I didn’t expect that this scorpion spirit would fall out of favor faster than turning over the pages of a book?
Li Zhi had been talking there with great emotion just now, but Li Zhi listened to her obediently for half an hour. In the blink of an eye, his face became serious again, and he began to say "I am here" one by one.
After saying "goodbye", the scorpion spirit disappeared from the scene without even saying hello to the man in black.
"Giant Scorpion—Giant Scorpion, you stinky bitch, how could you leave me here alone? I will definitely report it to the Lord—"
On the other side, Rutoro and the man in black and black robe were also fighting inextricably. However, the man in black and black robe accidentally glanced this way, and the scorpion spirit actually left on his own.
This person dressed in black and black robe is polite, yelling and cursing, but it doesn't help.
"Hualian, Tiema, Lingtuo, the three of you quickly command the square formation and destroy that Nezha. Come and help me quickly!"
After confirming that he could not defeat Rutoro in front of him, the black-robed man in black gave another order to the phalanx on the other side.
"Great Protector, this Nezha is too powerful. We are trying our best to support it. Please wait a little longer."
There are more people over there. A square formation composed of 6636 demons, plus three commanding people, is equivalent to 39 people fighting against Nezha.
As for Nezha, he had already transformed into a body with "three heads and six arms", and his aura had reached the peak of "Daluo Jinxian".
He has a blue face with fangs and ferocious red hair. Each of his six arms holds two fire-tipped spears, a pair of Yin-Yang swords, gold bricks and a Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield. A group of demons can fly next to each other and be injured if they touch it.
.
If there were not three demon leaders who were also in the early stage of "Daluo Jinxian" who were desperately resisting, maybe Nezha would have penetrated the square array.
"I don't see it, you are still some kind of 'Great Protector'? I want to leave the devil world. If you, the Great Protector, can escort me out, maybe I can leave a few more subordinates for you."
Nezha is really ruthless, maybe he wants to put the blame for being a "bad horse" on the demons in front of him.
In less than an hour, more than a dozen demons were killed or injured. Currently, there are less than thirty people who are still fighting to besiege Nezha.
"Haha, kill, kill, even if you kill us all, my ancestor can still bring us back to life."
"But you, King Li Zhi of Jin? Since you are from the Tang Dynasty, my grandfather will definitely pay a visit to Chang'an after arriving in the Tang Dynasty."
This man in black clothes and robes was originally quite sane, but for some reason, he suddenly became "crazy" and started to frequently launch counterattacks against Rutoro?
"Hmph, you devil kid, how can you talk to my uncle? I will chop you alive——"
Seeing the man in black clothes and robes who was gradually at a disadvantage, he suddenly felt like he was on fire. Three or four of his ten moves were considered counterattacks, and Rutoro was not happy.
"Since you are so vicious, I will never give you this opportunity."
Dragons have reverse scales, which will kill you if you touch them.
The family is Li Zhi’s enemy. This man in black clothes and black robes, after hearing Li Zhi’s identity, actually uttered arrogant words and threatened Li Zhi with the whole of Chang’an?
As soon as the "Purple Gold Beam" went down, five or six demons in the square array disappeared.
There is no way, now is not the time to start. We can still organize a phalanx with all the manpower. The current phalanx has long existed in name only, how can we resist Li Zhi who is aroused to anger?
"Your Highness, Prince Jin of the Tang Dynasty? Your opponent is me, what's the point of fighting some minions?"
At this moment, a shout came, and another figure floated in from the distance.
"How...how can this voice be so familiar? This figure?..."
