EBE #537 - Leading you into a trap
#537 - Leading you into a trap
At this moment, the demon and evil dragon armies, trapped in the gloomy Yin Soldier space, were numerous but like trapped beasts in a desperate fight. More than twenty Half-step Demon Emperors faced each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.
Hundreds of thousands of troops had been silently imprisoned in this netherworld, as if everything had been premeditated. If they hadn't lost their minds, the three words "Li Chengfeng" would have exploded like thunder, shocking everyone.
Elder Huo Yu of the Fire Demon Clan was furious, his emotions nearly out of control. He never expected that his most trusted right-hand man, Leng Jieao, would be the mastermind behind this betrayal.
Leng Jieao, the super simp who had once wholeheartedly served the Fire Demon Clan with unwavering loyalty, had changed his name, but why had his heart changed so drastically?
This sudden betrayal left him utterly perplexed, his thoughts tangled like a ball of yarn.
Yin Soldiers borrowing the way, the space locked down, no way out, panic spread through the crowd like a plague.
High-level cultivators could barely maintain their composure, while Qi Refining juniors below the Foundation Establishment stage were already scared out of their wits, their limbs limp as mud.
Even the six old antiques from the Sea Alliance, who had seen much of the world, now showed fear. They suddenly realized that they were merely pawns on someone else's chessboard.
Old Woman Jin Jing took the lead in roaring, her voice filled with despair and unwillingness: "Li Chengfeng, if they are trapped here, we will not escape!"
This roar, like an alarm bell, instantly awakened all the demon generals, who surrounded the giant ship.
Just as the tension reached its peak, the giant ship's hatch suddenly opened, revealing not the expected thousands of troops, but dozens of colorful butterflies fluttering out, like envoys from a dream.
Then, Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet slowly stepped out, appearing unusually calm.
It turned out that inside this massive warship, besides these seven-colored divine butterflies and a puppet, there was no one else.
Li Chengfeng leisurely appeared, a faint smile on his lips, and said lightly to the surrounded demons: "Fellow demons, why be so nervous?"
Then he cupped his hands and thanked the six old antiques: "Seniors, you have worked hard.
Escorting this giant ship all the way here, and capturing all those who harbored ill intentions towards me, Li Chengfeng, your contribution is immeasurable.
I am deeply grateful."
All the Half-step Demon Emperor experts focused their gazes on the six old antiques.
Elder Huo Yu of the Fire Demon Clan was even more furious, and roared as if to tear the sky apart, saying: "First, kill these 'traitors'! It turns out they colluded with Li Chengfeng."
In his view, these old antiques had secretly defected to Li Chengfeng, becoming double agents, which was an unforgivable betrayal.
"Damn it!" he roared. Before he finished speaking, more than twenty Half-step Demon Emperors had surrounded the six old antiques like a dark cloud, and the powerful pressure made their legs tremble uncontrollably, almost kneeling on the ground.
"Injustice! Injustice!" Old Woman Jin Jing was the first to stand up, her voice trembling with unwillingness, "We were also deceived by Li Chengfeng's tricks. Those colorful butterflies are hallucinogenic spirit insects.
They made us hallucinate, mistakenly believing that he was going to the extreme north to attack the extreme north Evil Dragon Clan, which is why we inadvertently leaked the information.
We didn't know his true intentions at all!"
Her defense sounded pale and weak to the demon experts.
The Half-step Demon Emperors gnashed their teeth, but they couldn't change the situation.
Xie Nanxing, the leader of the Evil Dragon Clan, was even more furious, his dragon horns trembling slightly with anger.
Since his debut, he had never suffered such humiliation, being so thoroughly calculated by a mere Golden Core junior.
His dragon might permeated the air, his eyes like torches, and he looked at Li Chengfeng's disciple, coldly saying: "Boy, even if you trap us, what can you do?
With more than twenty Half-step Demon Emperors, we can break this space with brute force alone.
What you're doing is just futile, it won't cause us any substantial harm."
Li Chengfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this, and slowly said: "You're right, you can forcibly break the space, but the price you pay will be heavy.
And I have more tricks waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out around them, as if the heavens and the earth were shaking.
Yin Soldiers borrowing the way, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, this special day, awakened countless evil spirits from the netherworld.
These were not the heroic spirits under Qing Ning Old Ancestor, but the spirit realm cultivators who sacrificed themselves in the battle with Qing Ning's subordinates. After their death, they turned into evil spirits, lingering in the world with unfinished obsessions.
These evil spirits were different from elite war generals. They had lost their minds and only had the instinct to kill. Seeing many living beings entering the Yin Soldiers borrowing the way space, they seemed to see prey, roaring and rushing up.
The number of these evil spirits was equally huge, as many as hundreds of thousands. They displayed various strange battle formations, and there were more than a dozen Half-step Nascent Soul evil spirits among them.
Their eyes only had killing, no fear, no pity, only the desire and devouring of life.
Facing the evil spirits surging like a tide, Xie Nanxing, the leader of the Evil Dragon Clan, quickly and calmly directed the battle, ordering his soldiers to change their formation to deal with this sudden crisis.
At the same time, his eyes were like torches, staring directly at Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet, his heart full of killing intent and determination: "Li Chengfeng, you dare to use these evil spirits to delay us, today I will completely kill you, and thoroughly study the secrets of your substitute puppet!"
After saying that, his gaze swept over the six trembling old antiques like a sickle, their faces filled with fear and despair.
They originally thought that defecting to the demon race would bring them wealth and glory, and even fantasized about sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Sea Alliance to hell, but they never thought that they would eventually fall into the abyss of hell themselves.
"You six, immediately go and kill those Half-step Nascent Soul evil spirits, do not delay!" Xie Nanxing, the leader of the Evil Dragon Clan, issued an order like a cold blade, making the six old antiques tremble.
They understood that they were being used as cannon fodder, but at this moment they had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.
However, at this moment.
Li Chengfeng's voice sounded like thunder: "You six old fogeys, since you chose to defect to the demon race, but were used as cannon fodder, you are worse than pigs and dogs.
However, I, Li Chengfeng, will not let their wishful thinking succeed, now I will send you on your way!"
As Li Chengfeng's words fell, the six old antiques suddenly felt black gas gushing out of their bodies, and their faces turned green.
Old Woman Jin Jing pointed at Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet and shouted in horror: "The longevity pill you gave us is fake, it's a poison pill!"
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "That's right, that's exactly it.
Senior Dragon Turtle had already seen through your betrayal and knew that you often betrayed the Sea Alliance's intelligence.
He originally wanted to kill you at the time of his departure to rectify military discipline, but I stopped him.
I said that you still have great use and can make another contribution to our Sea Alliance.
Well, your 'contribution' has come—passing false information to lure the Evil Dragon Clan into the trap.
And now is the time for you to 'receive the reward'.
This longevity pill is actually a poison pill, carefully refined with the venom from the Myriad Poison Demon Heart, supplemented by hundreds of unique poisons from the Sea Alliance.
After taking it, you will briefly feel your lifespan increase, but once I activate the restriction, you will die from the poison, with no place to be buried!"
