"两位长老,请采取行动!"
张明阳虽然很困惑为什么法器会突然对付阮天河失败,但他仍然保持冷静,立即呼救.
白长老和陈长老两位长老听到他的话,目光扫了过来,能量瞬间锁定在了阮天河的身上.
两位武圣对抗一名重伤的武圣,在旁旁其他人的协助下,胜利还是在他们这边!
"呵呵!"阮天河冷笑一声,眼中闪过一抹寒光.既然他选择不再装,那他就和这些日月宗的败类决一死战!
就在双方都处于交锋的边缘时,另外两名一直在前方侦察的大师们察觉到了局势的变化.
他们交换了眼神,都明白了对方的决定——与其被屠杀,还不如趁日月宗乱了的时候逃走!
他们毫不犹豫地动了起来!
刹那间,他们的身影如同惊愕的燕子一样射出,能量澎湃,化作一道道光流,一左一右!
"嗯?"
日月宗的弟子先是一愣,然后脸上露出了嘲讽的表情.
在武圣面前逃跑?
这只不过是一场梦!
果然,张明阳甚至没有转移视线,平静地命令道:"长老们,请抓捕这两个无知的傻子!
"好吧!"陈长老是第一个行动的.袖子一挥,周围的灵气剧烈涌动,一股无形的压力如网般蔓延开来,将数十里内的区域窒息,仿佛空间都凝固了!
In the blink of an eye, the two fleeing figures were sent flying back like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The escaping Masters were covered in terrifying cracks, their vitality retreating like a receding tide, their eyes losing all light.
Hmm? I just asked you to capture them, why did you kill them outright...
Zhang Mingyang was confused, but the Sun and Moon Sect disciples began their usual flattery: "The two Elders are truly unmatched, no one can..."
"Shut up!" Elder Chen snapped, his face as dark as water. He exchanged a glance with Elder Bai, both of them seeing a hint of suspicion in the other's eyes.
Elder Bai immediately said in a low voice, "It wasn't us who acted."
Someone beat us to it... and killed these two!
As expected, the next moment, five figures suddenly appeared in front and behind the cave, surrounding the disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect, trapping them in a pincer formation.
When they saw the faces of the newcomers, the disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect immediately fell silent, cold sweat soaking their clothes.
The leader was a short, dark-skinned man who appeared ordinary but caused both Martial Saints, Bai and Chen, to instinctively take a step back.
The man exuded an oppressive aura, so suffocating it felt as though the air itself had solidified.
The other four figures, though also terrifying, seemed insignificant in the presence of the dark-skinned man.
The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped, making it hard to breathe.
"Ten Thousand Demon Sect... Poisonous Demon Lord..." Elder Bai's voice trembled as he spoke the identity of the leader.
At these words, everyone present gasped in shock. The Ten Thousand Demon Sect was an evil faction that struck fear into the entire Western Region, its name even shaking the entire continent.
Even a small branch of it in the Western Region could overpower alliances of large human sects like the Sun and Moon Sect and Sword Treasure Pavilion.
And the Poisonous Demon Lord was one of the strongmen from this branch.
Though his strength was not comparable to true Heaven-tier experts, it surpassed most ordinary Martial Saints!
Moreover, the four subordinates he brought with him were all Demon Kings on par with the top human Masters!
Why were the demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect here, and why did they seem so prepared?
At this moment, the expressions of all the Sun and Moon Sect members grew as dark as thunderclouds.
Earlier, they had forced other Masters to act as scouts, and now they themselves had become prey in the demon's trap, truly a case of karma.
"What's the matter? Surprised to see me?" The Poisonous Demon Lord tilted his head, his eyes glinting with mockery.
"I originally planned to wait for you to break through this formation before showing myself, but since you're so useless, I'll just send you on your way earlier."
Elder Chen's face turned ashen as he spoke gravely: "How did you get in... The human cave's barrier and its unlocking method, how would you demons know about them?"
"Foolish, we too can learn and grow..." The Poisonous Demon Lord sneered dismissively, answering lightly.
"Grow my foot..."
The two Elders exchanged a solemn glance, knowing well that the cultivation methods of demons and humans were fundamentally different, like fire and water—completely incompatible.
Humans couldn't learn the demons' powers, and demons couldn't master human techniques. There must be some trickery behind this...
Could it be... a traitor among humans?
And someone who could help demons break into a Heaven-tier cave would certainly be no ordinary person...
"Poisonous Demon Lord," Zhang Mingyang tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled slightly, "If you show mercy today, I swear in the name of the Sun and Moon Sect, we will never be enemies with you again."
"Heh..."
The Demon Lord sneered, his eyes flashing with scorn: "Do you really think a mere kowtow will save your life? After all the trouble I've gone through to lead you fools here, do you think I'll let you go?"
As he spoke, a goat demon stepped forward, casually grabbing one of the Sun and Moon Sect disciples with its thick hooves. The disciple turned pale, too terrified to even struggle, only able to stare desperately at the two Elders.
At this moment, only the Elders could save them.
"..."
Zhang Mingyang clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms as he cast a pleading glance between the two Elders.
In the next moment, Elder Bai stepped forward first, his face full of fear, and bowed deeply to the Demon Lord:
"Please... please, Poisonous Immortal Lord, show mercy, spare our lives. I kneel before you..."
"Yes, yes! Please, spare us!" Elder Chen hurriedly knelt as well, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.
What? They're kneeling so decisively?
Zhang Mingyang didn't expect his own Elders to be so spineless, so he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately knelt as well.
"Hahaha, kneeling to save your life?" The Poisonous Demon Lord casually observed the kneeling figures, shaking his head and sighing: "Your human dignity... in my eyes, it's just a joke. After all..."
Before he could finish, a fierce killing intent flashed in the lowered heads of the two Elders, and their hunched backs straightened suddenly!
In an instant, crescent-shaped sword lights began to gather around them, the sharp sword intent shooting straight toward the Demon Lord!
"What?!"
The Poisonous Demon Lord's eyes flashed coldly, and he quickly retreated, but it was still a second too late.
The moonlight-like sword energy struck his pitch-black skin with a resounding clang, producing a shower of sparks!
In that instant, a violent shockwave spread out like a raging sea, shaking the entire cave!
"Not bad, not bad at all, a nice surprise attack!"
The Poisonous Demon Lord hovered in mid-air, his body covered in fine injuries, but none of them were serious.
He laughed maniacally: "Hahahaha! You really fooled me! When it comes to treachery, we demons truly can't compare!"
