Chapter 109: Ambush on the Way, the Show Begins
“Damn it, you all should die!”
Zhao Wutian’s eyes were bloodshot, nearly going mad.
After countless calculations, he still made a mistake at a critical juncture.
The betrayal from allies is often the most vicious!
He was an extremely cautious person, needing everything to proceed exactly as he anticipated in order to feel at ease.
Having such a big mishap right from the start made him restless.
It felt as if a catastrophe was imminent!
“Something’s changed; I think we should cancel today’s plan,” he said, frowning.
“You dare!”
Tunyuan Demon Marshal sprang forward, pointing a finger at Zhao Wutian, shouting loudly.
“You still dare to back down at this juncture? Do you believe I’ll kill you on the spot!”
“Hmph! Who is to blame for this? If it weren’t for your reckless behavior, how could it have come to this?”
“It’s just a small oversight, and you dare to escalate it like this? I see you don’t truly want to cooperate!” Tunyuan Demon Marshal jeered.
At this remark, Zhao Wutian’s anger flared: “You garbage indeed have no qualifications to cooperate with me!”
“What did you say? Looking for death!”
Just as a fight was about to break out, Tuntian Demon Sovereign finally intervened.
“Stop it! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
His powerful presence forced the two to calm down.
“The auction will continue as planned. Tunlan, you immediately go summon the Devil King and tell him there’s big game here.”
“Yes, sir.”
Tunlan Commander acted swiftly and darted out.
“Rest assured, in at most two hours, the Devil King will arrive, and our plan will be foolproof.”
Tuntian Demon Sovereign quietly comforted Zhao Wutian’s emotions.
“I hope so.”
Zhao Wutian took a deep breath, stabilizing his agitated feelings.
“First, bring that group of leeks in. Use song and dance to placate them while I prepare for the auction.”
He originally didn’t want to hold the auction, so many processes were not prepared.
Now to arrange everything felt a bit rushed, but he was quite confident in his treasures—enough to stall these locals.
…
In the sky, Tunlan Commander raced with fear in his heart.
He never expected that among that group of humans there really existed someone at the Sage level!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
If the opposing side discovered their traces, even Tuntian Demon Sovereign would be doomed.
“I can’t be slow now; I must speed up again!”
With this thought, he prepared to burn his essence blood to squeeze out maximum potential.
Just then, a sudden powerful fluctuation appeared in the void, and a sword aura shot across, striking at him and forcing him to stop.
“Who dares to attack me?”
He roared, tearing apart the sword aura.
“Demonic scum, we’ve been waiting for you here for a while.”
Before his words fell, three figures appeared in succession, surrounding him and sealing off all avenues of escape.
The assailants were Zhang Chuqiao, Long Lingyun, and Sheng Xin, the Sage Heart.
“Three little bugs dare to block my way? Truly overestimating yourselves!”
“You’re lucky today; I have urgent matters and don’t have time to deal with you. Get lost!”
Tunlan Commander glowered fiercely.
Zhang Chuqiao merely smiled slightly, and boundless Red Dust surged from her, forming a vast sea that enveloped the sky and pulled him into a realm.
“You want to fight me to the death!”
Tunlan Commander’s pupils turned needle-like as he looked at Zhang Chuqiao, feeling a sense of familiarity.
“You… weren’t you captured? You should be a piece of Zhao Wutian’s auction item, how could you appear here?”
This remark caused a chilling smile to appear on Zhang Chuqiao’s face.
“I remembered as well; one of those who beat me back then had the aura of the Heavenly Demons, that disgusting scent is exactly the same as yours!”
“Haha… since you recognize me, hurry up and roll. I can capture you once; I can capture you a second time!”
As his words fell, the Red Dust Sea shook, and Zhang Chuqiao struck directly, creating towering waves.
“Trivial skills!”
Tunlan Commander showed no fear; these three people, one had just broken through to the Life-Death Realm, and the other two were Heaven-Cutting Realm—insignificant in front of him.
He believed that with his near-peak Life-Death Realm cultivation, he could finish them all off in less than a moment.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed ominous demonic energy and smashed it toward the giant waves.
With a bang, the surging tide crashed, and the waves splintered, seemingly unable to withstand this massive force.
“Hmph!”
Tunlan couldn’t help but sneer; this was even weaker than he had imagined.
But soon, the shattered waves did not fall; instead, they transformed in mid-air, turning into a vast swarm of butterflies.
Countless brilliant butterflies flapped their wings like a colorful hurricane, shrouding the demonic commander.
“What new trick is this? You humans are truly skilled at this flashy stuff!”
He dismissed it, intending to break it through brute force.
He struck out heavily, manipulating demonic energy to transform into energy blades, cutting through the hurricane.
Large swathes of butterflies were sliced apart, only to reconvene and fall onto him.
“What is this… Ahhh!!”
Tunlan suddenly screamed in agony; those butterflies were eroding his flesh, and with the Demonic Race’s powerful recovery, he found himself unable to heal in such a short time.
“Power of Unity… never seen it before?”
Zhang Chuqiao smiled, shaking him to his core.
He remembered; this woman before him was of the Yin-Yang Body and should not be viewed with common judgment.
“You’re impressive, but this won’t kill me!”
Tunlan’s eyes hardened as he prepared to burn all his potential and go all out.
“That’s enough.”
Under his horrified gaze, Zhang Chuqiao’s hair turned snow white, and she snapped her fingers.
Those butterflies went berserk, all rushing forward and then detonating the Power of Unity.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Each explosion had a limited range but contained a terrifying power—enough to return everything to the Void First essence.
After the smoke cleared, Tunlan was still alive; however, he was ragged and had no power left to resist.
“Damn it, you won’t have it easy either!”
Demonic waves gathered on him, then spread wildly, clearly trying to relay information to the outside world.
At this moment, Sheng Xin moved, waving his hand to erase these fluctuations, leaving him with nothing to show for it.
“How is this possible!!!”
Tunlan cried out in despair when suddenly a stone tablet fell from the sky, pressing down on him.
The tablet emanated a peculiar fluctuation, and in the blink of an eye, the demonic race turned to mist, leaving not a trace behind.
“My senior brother was right; this thing has remarkable effects against demons.”
Long Lingyun, holding the Sword Dao Celestial List, said excitedly.
“Of course, this is a sacred object of the human race!”
…
At the auction, in the Tianzi No. 1 Pavilion, Zhou Tong heard Zhang Chuqiao’s delighted voice.
“I finally avenged the arrow to the heart from back then!”
“Congratulations.”
Zhou Tong’s lips curled upward; everything was ready, and the good show was about to begin!
