North of Great Wasteland City.
In an unnamed valley.
At the center of the valley, on a massive stone.
A man in a black robe sat cross-legged, his face shadowed, his eyes gleaming with cold light. A stream of crimson killing intent swirled around him, sending a chilling aura through the air.
"Eight thousand miles! A full eight thousand miles!"
The black-robed man was Du Qianshang, and his voice was icy, as though it had come from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, making one's blood run cold.
"I only killed a few outer disciples of the Da Luo Sword Sect, and yet Liu Chengxue chased me for eight thousand miles, almost driving me to the wilderness!"
"This time, if you come again, this place will be your burial ground!"
Du Qianshang glanced around.
In this valley,
He had already set up the Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation.
With this formation in place, even if ten more Liu Chengxue came, he would be unafraid.
After all,
This was the Nine Nether Demon Sect's most sacred protective formation.
Even if it had been simplified countless times, its power was still not to be underestimated.
If it were broken by ordinary people, the Nine Nether Demon Sect would no longer be able to hold its ground in the cultivation world.
"Master should be arriving soon."
Du Qianshang licked his lips, looking at a crimson token in his hand, which shimmered with a faint glow.
"If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn't have notified Master."
Du Qianshang coldly muttered.
Before,
He had been pursued by Liu Chengxue so closely that he had no time to set up his formation. In desperation, he had contacted his Master for help.
But unexpectedly,
After he had sent the message, he managed to shake off Liu Chengxue.
This allowed him to calmly set up the formation.
Now,
Whether his Master arrived or not, it no longer mattered.
With his own layout, he could easily turn the tables and counterattack.
"Hmm...?"
Just as he was pondering,
Du Qianshang's heart stirred, and he stood up from the giant stone. He gazed into the distance, a cruel smile creeping across his lips.
"Has he arrived?"
"Faster than I expected!"
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light pierced through the air.
Above the unnamed valley,
A figure in white appeared suddenly.
"Senior was right; you really are here!"
Liu Chengxue's clothes fluttered as she stood in the void, holding a long sword. The moment she appeared, she slashed downward with it.
"Clang!"
The sword light blazed like a rainbow, cutting through the sky!
A sharp, shrill whistle echoed!
"Senior?"
Du Qianshang felt a pang of confusion.
Who was the "senior" Liu Chengxue was referring to?
Did someone know he had set up his formation here?
As the sword light approached, he didn't have time to think too much. He quickly formed a hand seal and coldly shouted:
"Five Demons Devouring Heaven, open the formation!"
"Roar——!"
A deafening roar echoed.
The ground cracked apart.
For a radius of ten miles, demonic energy surged forth, transforming into a vast black sun, its waves sweeping across the heavens, and an invisible killing intent roiled!
Within the black demonic sea,
Five towering demon beasts loomed, their red eyes filled with brutal killing intent.
One of them
Reaching out its massive hand,
Caught the sword light, crushing it to pieces.
The Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation had been activated!
Du Qianshang let out a sigh of relief.
This formation gave him tremendous confidence. Even if Liu Chengxue had a powerful expert behind her, he was not afraid in the slightest, unless that person showed up personally!
As long as he could delay until his Master arrived, who lived and who died would still be uncertain!
"Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation?"
Liu Chengxue was not surprised but rather pleased, and she spoke again: "It seems Senior was right again; you really did set up this formation!"
Each step was exactly as the Senior had predicted.
Du Qianshang's actions
Were like a puppet being manipulated by the Senior's strings!
And from here on out,
Everything would certainly unfold just as the Senior had foreseen!
"Two hours have passed, there's no more time to hesitate."
Liu Chengxue glanced at the sky, taking a deep breath. Her delicate face was filled with determination.
Without any hesitation, she charged directly into the formation, aiming straight for the Dead Gate within it!
"Liu Chengxue is seeking death, isn't she?"
Du Qianshang watched her actions, confused.
Even someone who didn't understand formations
Should know that the Dead Gate was the most perilous part of the formation. Anyone who entered it was certain to die, and there hadn't been anyone who survived it in thousands of years.
Not everyone had the luck to escape from the Dead Gate.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant you your wish!"
Du Qianshang's face turned cold, and he formed another hand seal.
At that moment,
A force that seemed capable of breaking the heavens and earth erupted.
The killing intent was overwhelming!
The five massive black demons, as if they had crawled out of Nine Nether Hell, stretched out their hands in unison, covering the sky and pressing down on Liu Chengxue.
"Boom!"
The colossal sound shook the heavens and cracked the earth, rolling across the sky like a tidal wave, with countless stars crashing down, its terror reaching unimaginable levels!
"Buzz!"
The void itself trembled, almost tearing apart.
When the five demon beasts attacked, no matter how powerful Liu Chengxue's strength, even if she was invincible among her peers, there was no way she could block it!
After the strike,
The dust cleared, and Liu Chengxue's figure disappeared.
"Is this the end?"
Du Qianshang furrowed his brow.
Having been chased for eight thousand miles, it ended so dramatically, leaving him with a sense of disbelief.
"Liu Chengxue is the third disciple of the Da Luo Sword Sect's Sect Master, how could she be so foolish?"
Du Qianshang couldn't understand.
Had he known it would come to this, why had he been so embarrassed and chased down?
"Wait!"
Suddenly,
A feeling of crisis surged in his heart. Du Qianshang retreated hastily. Just as he moved back by a mere three inches, a sword light whizzed past him, grazing his side.
Had he not reacted quickly, that sword would have sliced him in half!
Even so,
A sword mark remained on his body.
Bright red blood spurted out, staining his clothes.
"How is this possible!"
Du Qianshang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he quickly turned to look in the direction from which the sword light had come.
He saw
Liu Chengxue, dressed in white, completely unharmed!
At that moment,
Du Qianshang couldn't even care about his injuries anymore.
He stared intensely at Liu Chengxue, standing at the Rest Gate, and spoke slowly, word by word:
"How did you break the Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation?"
