Chapter 18 Good Results and Bad Results 17
In contrast to the tension inside the dungeon, outside, Xuan Mo, dressed in simple black robes, with a handsome and cold expression, led the demon army in an orderly ambush and encirclement.
"Your Highness, everything is ready." Deputy General Jiang Huai jogged along, not daring to delay for a moment.
Xuan Mo's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to give the order, a calm voice came from behind him, "Wait."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai turned around and bowed respectfully.
The newcomer was dressed in a crimson-purple robe with gold trim. He was pale-faced and handsome. He swayed slowly as he approached, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Xuanmo looked at him, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, and said coldly, "Is your leg broken?"
Luo Feng understood his unspoken meaning and smiled even more wickedly.
"Alas, my elder brother is so cold-hearted, it chills my heart." He covered his heart with his hands, pretending to be weak and frail.
Even though he knew he was faking it, Xuanmo couldn't help but worry whenever he saw him like this.
He softened his tone and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Absolutely wonderful."
Xuanmo was relieved. "In that case, speak quickly."
"Qiao Qiao's demon spirit says that the Divine Child from the God Realm has also arrived~"
Luo Feng grinned wickedly and said, "We can't kill him; he'll still be useful."
Xuanmo nodded. "Understood."
He paused for a moment, then instructed, "Those divine sons and daughters in the divine realm are not easy to deal with, so be careful. Also, tell Xiao Jia to use her demonic spirits less."
“Okay, brother.” Luo Feng said obediently.
The Demon Spirit is Qiao Jia's weapon, capable of both prediction and defense. However, the use of the Demon Spirit comes at the cost of consuming lifespan, and Xuan Mo does not approve of her using it.
Hundreds of years ago, during a battle between gods and demons, the third brother, Luo Feng, was seriously injured while protecting him and has not recovered to this day. Meanwhile, the second sister, Qiao Jia, suffered severe loss of lifespan and is now on the verge of death.
The fourth brother died young. If the Demon Clan does not seize the opportunity to rise again, they will have no chance to turn the tide.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo's face turned frosty. This time, he would definitely make the gods pay the price.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Luo Feng said again.
Xuanmo concealed the fierceness in his eyes and said slowly, "You speak."
"The Binding God Net and the Demon Gathering Array have been destroyed."
Xuanmo's pupils constricted instantly. "How could this be!"
"I laid out nearly a hundred Binding God Nets, and your Demon Gathering Array is no ordinary array either. How could it be destroyed so easily!"
"That's true." Although I didn't want to believe it, it was the truth.
Seeing his younger brother's downcast expression, Xuanmo comforted him, "It's alright. Although Father and several elders cannot participate in the battle, we are still in the Demon Realm, where there are many demon generals. We have also made plans in advance, so we are sure to succeed."
Small-scale clashes impose certain restrictions on both sides. They can use tactics and appropriately increase the number of demon generals, but heavyweight figures such as the Demon Lord cannot appear, and a large number of demon generals cannot be mobilized. Similarly, the same applies to the divine realm.
But this is the Demon Realm, their own territory, and they have already made arrangements in secret. I don't believe this won't give them a good beating.
……
The dungeon was now scorching hot from the fire, and all the prisoners were dead.
As the fire subsided, Zhao Zhao and the others used their divine power to protect themselves and carefully moved outwards.
Su stayed close to Zhao Zhao, his muscles tense as he surveyed his surroundings.
The closer they got to the dungeon exit, the more cautious they became. As they walked down an extremely long and narrow passage, a rumbling sound came from ahead.
Jun Si's pupils constricted as he realized something, and he shouted, "Oh no, it's the Giant Spirit Stone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous boulder, wreathed in flames, charged toward them with the force of thunder, bringing waves of intense heat.
The narrow passage was just big enough to fit the giant spirit stone; if they wanted to get out, they would have to smash it.
"Run back!" Zhao Zhao shouted, and the next second she picked up her sword and charged toward the giant spirit stone.
The giant spirit stone rolled extremely fast. It was huge and hard. Zhao Zhao struck it with all his might and shattered it. Su Ze then cleared away the remaining larger pieces of stone beside him.
"Phew, we're safe now." Jun Si breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't think so." Shi Qinian stared intently at the passageway ahead. A moment later, another giant spirit stone rolled down.
This time, Shi Qinian drew his sword and stepped forward to deal with it, while Zhaozhao cleared away the rubble.
One giant spirit stone after another fell down, and Zhao Zhao and the others took turns cleaning them up. But as time went by, they gradually felt tired, and their hands and feet went numb from the impact.
Ye Liangqing flicked her wrist and looked at the giant spirit stones rolling down in front of her. She couldn't help but feel anxious. Just how many more stones were there?
Jun Si also said irritably, "This damn rock is disgusting!"
They were stuck here, unable to advance or retreat, wasting their divine power in vain.
"This is not a solution." Shi Qinian frowned. No one knew how many more giant spirit stones would fall. If they kept dragging it out, they would run out of divine power and have no chance of winning against the demons.
