Chapter 890 True Form Beneath the Ice, Innate Demon Spirit

With the Grand Preceptor's divine sense controlling the scene, the bamboo forest immediately appeared on the light screen.

In the secluded valley, two martial artists were engaged in a fierce battle with the seventh-rank demon emperor.

Upon witnessing the man in the short shirt's fiery moves, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but nod: "Not bad, not bad, young man, you have a lot of temper."

The Empress, who had just arrived, laughed and said, "The child is loud and boisterous, and he is brave, but he lacks a bit of spirit. I think that boy in white next to him is much braver and more resourceful. Look what trick he is planning."

When the Empress spoke, who dared not look? Everyone immediately turned to look at the man in white, who was making strange hand gestures, and a surge of white true energy was rapidly forming behind him.

At this moment, an old man with a white beard laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, both of you are outstanding figures in my Wuyue City. The fiery one is named Nan Fengji, and the white-robed youth is named Zhou An. He has a secret technique that can dispel illusions and sweep away evil spirits. He must be looking for an opportunity to force out the true form of the Demon Emperor."

The person who spoke was none other than Wu Yuecheng's team leader, who couldn't be more proud at that moment.

Look closely, this is a genius from our Wuyue City, even the Holy Emperor and Holy Empress have to praise him.

Sitting next to him was General Jiang of Wuyang City, who was frowning slightly, clearly speechless at the old man's arrogant expression.

“Indeed, quite intelligent. That demon emperor is named Bingwu, and his true form is an ice frog. He once froze a town and caused harm to all directions. General Jiang should be very familiar with him.”

Ye Xiang suddenly looked at Jiang Yueqing.

General Jiang, whose real name is Jiang Yueqing, is the youngest of all the team leaders.

He calmly nodded: "Familiar, I was the one who caught him back then."

"Oh? Is that so? Yueqing is a pillar of our Wu Dynasty. Why don't you tell everyone about this demon?" the Holy Emperor said with great interest.

General Jiang quickly cupped his hands and said, "The Ice Frog is a naturally born demon spirit, and all its ice-based abilities are naturally formed, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, this creature possesses a unique supernatural power: when severely injured, it can freeze itself, placing its true form within the ice, allowing it to recover at an astonishing speed. At this moment, it is hiding its form, probably because it has not yet fully recovered its strength and is afraid that its true form will be found, causing all its efforts to be in vain."

"So that's how it is. Yueqing must have paid a price to capture this demon alive back then. I respectfully thank you for your dedication to the Wu Dynasty."

The Empress raised her wine cup and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone.

Jiang Yueqing quickly got up and drank the wine with trepidation.

Team leader Wu Yuecheng, standing nearby, felt incredibly bittersweet.

What's going on?! You guys have missed the point!

Just then, the Imperial Advisor also said, "It seems that Zhou An has found an opportunity."

Everyone looked around quickly.

Inside the blessed land, Nan Fengji's Divine Fire Heavenly Tribulation Force and Bingwu Demon Emperor's Frosty Demon Qi had been clashing for a long time, but the Demon Emperor's true form still hadn't appeared. Instead, Nan Fengji was drenched in sweat and his face was pale.

"Brother Zhou, are you ready yet?"

"This is the moment!"

Zhou An suddenly spoke, his hands coming together as a sword. The true energy brewing behind him instantly transformed into a white sword light, precisely piercing through the icy demonic energy that filled the sky. Wherever it passed, the demonic energy was violently swept away and destroyed, revealing the original landscape of the secluded valley.

This sword strike is a secret technique of the Zhou family, specifically designed to break through demons, monsters, and illusions. The place that was originally shrouded in demonic energy immediately became clear.

At the very bottom of the valley, a vein of ice had been formed, and under the cover of countless black ice, a snow-white ice frog gradually emerged!

"frog?"

Nam Bong-gil was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Oh, it's just a little frog. No wonder it was hiding its head and tail. It's just its nature."

"Ha, a frog can cultivate to this level, it's really lucky."

Zhou An also shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed.

Normally, if they encountered a seventh-level demon emperor, they wouldn't care what the other party's true form was; they would run away on sight.

But now, their opponent's strength is less than half, and the two of them together are not afraid at all.

Seeing himself being mocked like this, the Demon Emperor also opened his eyes and let out a gloomy voice.

"Two ignorant brats, I intended to spare you, but you insist on making things difficult for me. Then you may both stay here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ice shattered with a crash, and the frog's true form leaped out. Its demonic power was incredibly pure, and with a twist of its legs, it swept out a streak of pure white ice light.

Wherever this light passed, countless ice crystals were instantly left behind, even freezing the air itself.

"Little tricks."

Nan Fengji roared and unleashed another powerful punch.

However, this time, his divine fire proved insufficient against the true form of the Ice Frog.

As soon as the icy breath struck, the divine fire was frozen, and then a surge of icy energy crashed into Nam Bong-gil.

The latter let out a muffled groan, then pulled out a battle sword and swung it with all his might.

At the same time, Zhou An also moved. He soared into the air, his wings unfurling behind him, sweeping out streams of true energy feathers.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, the Demon Emperor also opened his mouth and spat out countless icy breaths that transformed into ice walls.

The attack struck the ice wall, instantly turning it into shattered ice, and the recoil also blasted the Demon Emperor back into the valley.

"Damn it! If I were in my prime, how could I allow these two brats to bully me! Fortunately, my supernatural powers are still intact. If these two really think they can take me down, ha..."

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Demon Emperor.

At the same time, Nam Bong-gil roared, "Great opportunity! They're all bark and no bite! Let's join forces and eat the frog today!"

Having said that, he raised his battle sword and charged straight into the valley.

The reason we hadn't gone down before was because we didn't understand the situation and didn't dare to take the risk.

But now that we've found out the opponent's true form, and it's so weak, there's no need to hesitate—let's kill the demon and seize its soul!

Zhou An frowned slightly, as if he sensed something was amiss.

But Nam Bong-gil's sword energy had already struck down and was about to close in on his opponent.

If that demon emperor is just a show-off, and I'm too slow, the demon soul will belong to Nan Fengji.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, summoned a flying sword, and rushed into the valley.

At this moment, Jiang Yueqing, who was watching from the outside, suddenly shook his head.

"They lose."

"What! General Jiang, don't jump to conclusions. These two have many tricks up their sleeves. How can you say they're doomed to lose?" Wu Yuecheng's team leader quickly retorted, his face full of displeasure.

Jiang Yueqing's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Bingwu Demon Emperor is extremely cunning and has a variety of supernatural abilities, but his strongest ability is still the Ice Sealing Technique, especially in positional warfare, where his supernatural abilities can be multiplied. If they were to wear him down, the two of them might still have a chance, but now that they have been deceived by Bingwu's feigned defeat and have entered his position, they have absolutely no chance of winning."

Jiang Yueqing's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was resolute, and he made his judgment without the slightest hesitation.

This made everyone in Wuyue City turn pale, wishing they could punch him.

Just then, the Imperial Advisor suddenly let out a soft "Eh," and then pointed to a corner of the sky.

"What is that kid doing?"

"what?"

Everyone looked on in confusion, but the view from the sky shifted, revealing Ye Kang working diligently.

He held the array plate and jade talisman, casually scattering them, then changed positions and repeated the process after a moment.

Immediately, everyone stared at each other in disbelief.

"Set up a formation?"

A senior official spoke softly, which made everyone's expressions even more peculiar.

They're fighting the Demon Emperor, and you're setting up an array here?

What do you want to do?

"Who is this little guy? Is he planning to use an array to ambush us from behind?"

"That... seems to be someone from our Wuyang City..."

Jiang Yueqing spoke with a cold face. This was the first time Wuyang City's figure had appeared in the sky, and Ye Kang was really not very noticeable, so Jiang Yueqing only had a vague impression of him.

Then, Jiang Yueqing felt a murderous gaze. Who else could it be? It was Wu Yuecheng's group of people.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and then the Holy Emperor spoke first.

He said with a smile, even a hint of anticipation, "Interesting, interesting. The Heavenly Dharma Assembly is not just about pure combat strength; array formations are also part of cultivation. However, he, a mere second-stage cultivator, dares to plot against two mid-stage Nirvana cultivators and a late-stage Nirvana demon. That makes me quite curious."

"Your Majesty, I observe that this person's array-setting skills are quite proficient, although the array plates are somewhat messy, as if each plate was made by a different person. However, the flaws do not detract from the overall excellence. It is truly rare for Wuyang City to produce such a genius in array formations, and he may indeed achieve great things." The Imperial Advisor said with a smile.

He was a master of formations, and could even be considered the number one formation expert in the entire Wu Dynasty.

His words carried considerable weight, immediately raising everyone's expectations for Ye Kang.

Only Ye Xiang remained unsmiling, shaking his head and saying, "The Grand Preceptor's judgment is naturally correct, but this person's cultivation is still shallow. Even with the assistance of an array, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to succeed."

“Yes, yes, and besides, this person is taking advantage of the chaos, clearly trying to pick up the scraps. That’s not the behavior of a gentleman,” Wu Yuecheng’s team leader quickly agreed.

But the Holy Emperor simply smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

Everyone immediately fell silent and said no more.

As Jiang Yueqing had predicted, Zhou An and Nan Fengji fell into a trap as soon as they entered the valley.

With a single breath, the Demon Emperor Bingwu unleashed countless icy breaths, instantly forming a towering glacier that sealed the two of them.

But they were all geniuses after all, how could they be defeated like this? With a thought, Zhou An unleashed a sword aura around his body and immediately broke through the space where he could move.

Nam Bong-gil also unleashed a fiery fist, shattering the glacier in front of him.

However, the Demon Emperor was not flustered at all. After all, he was the one who entered this place first, and he had enough time to transform it into the most suitable environment for himself.

He roared, and his demonic soul burst forth, unleashing countless icy breaths from above. At the same time, demonic energy swirled, forming flying snowflakes, but each snowflake was like a sharp blade, slicing wildly.

Moreover, sharp ice pillars shot out in succession from the glacier, making it impossible to defend against them.

The two immediately felt the pressure and unleashed their signature martial arts techniques, their sword energy and fist force swirling wildly as they slammed into the Demon Emperor Bingwu.

With a thought, the latter created a series of ice walls that rose vertically, while the snowflakes in the sky combined to form a white snow giant that flew towards the two of them.

As Nam Bong-gil smashed the ice giant's right leg with his fist and was about to utter a sarcastic remark, the scattered snowflakes suddenly erupted with incredibly powerful demonic energy, exploding on the spot.

Bang bang bang!

An explosion accompanied by sharp blades forced Nam Bong-gil to use his protective inner energy to hide, while a fire monkey appeared behind him.

It was his first true spirit, the Demon Flame Monkey.

The spirit roared, and flames swept away the flying snow, but the next second, the glacier suddenly moved, and countless ice blocks grew rapidly, taking the opportunity to freeze Nan Fengji's legs.

"Oops!"

Zhou An also sensed something was wrong. He swept his sword to help Nan Fengji out of the predicament, but immediately afterward, a figure as fast as lightning suddenly appeared beside Zhou An.

"I have truly been underestimated."

A faint sound came from behind. Zhou An turned his head in fright and saw a demonic body crashing down like Mount Tai. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and was then thrown away.

The figure of the Demon Emperor Bingwu reappeared on the spot, and said with an evil smile, "My physical body is not comparable to yours. I should thank you. Your attack just now allowed me to absorb your true energy, which restored my strength by 20%."

"What! How is this possible! How can a demon devour true energy!" Nan Fengji roared in fear.

The next second, a long tongue lashed out, grabbing Nam Bong-gil and about to throw him into the frog's mouth.

Fortunately, he had already summoned his true spirit. The fire monkey erupted, and the true energy surged, forcing the Demon Emperor Bingwu to throw it away.

But the former was not disappointed at all, and just chuckled evilly in a low voice: "Do you think I, the Emperor, am just a decoration? The so-called birth and nurturing by heaven and earth means that I encompass all the spiritual energy in the world, including your true energy."

"A born demon spirit! Oh no!"

Zhou An clearly realized something and immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

"Withdraw? Too late."

The Demon Emperor was already seething with anger, and after being beaten for so long, he was even more furious. How could he allow them to escape?

The demon's true form immediately shot out several beams of white light, directly hitting the two of them.

Two cries of agony rang out, and they were astonished to find that a piece of their true energy had been sliced ​​off out of thin air!

"A born demon spirit, what a born demon spirit! Such a favored child of heaven and earth would never dare to be born!"

Zhou An cursed loudly, but he was already so frightened that his fighting spirit had vanished.

Unexpectedly, the innate demon spirit can not only use the martial artist's true energy to nourish itself, but also disintegrate the martial artist's true energy. How can we fight like this?

The two immediately unleashed their speed and used their respective escape techniques.

Then a frog croaked, and the true form of the Demon Emperor leaped out, joining forces with the demon soul in the air to give chase.

"Damn it! It's all your fault for letting me mess with this bastard!"

Nan Fengji was already injured, and now he was bleeding profusely. He couldn't help but curse at Zhou An.

The latter was speechless, thinking to himself, "You were the first one to go, and now you're blaming me? You have no shame!"

But now is not the time for infighting. We must escape with all our might. That born demon spirit is too powerful. Its newly recovered 20% cultivation completely overwhelms them. We absolutely cannot let it catch up!

Just as Zhou An was frantically thinking, suddenly, a loud boom came from ahead, followed by a series of formations that suddenly rose up, completely blocking their path!

Moreover, not only in front of them, but also around them, arrays rose up simultaneously and closed in an instant, completely enclosing them.

"What the hell is this?!"
