"Blood Fiend Soldiers, attack!" Ning Caichen shouted, and thousands of warriors in blood-red armor behind him roared and charged forward on horseback.
If you observe closely, you will find that these thousands of Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers are also different. Among them, the 500 who are closer to Ning Caichen are stronger in cultivation and better equipped.
The other Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers were at most comparable to martial artists at the second or third level of the Acquired Realm, which would make them second-rate fodder in the main world. However, the five hundred Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers beside Ning Caichen were all at least at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm, which would be considered elite troops even in the main world.
Without a doubt, the five hundred Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers that Wang Xuan trained for Ning Caichen were the true core, while the other thousands of Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers were just knock-offs created by Ning Caichen himself.
If they were to fight to the death on two sides, then five hundred Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers would be enough to defeat the other thousands of knock-off Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers!
Before long, the Wu army clashed with the Yin soldiers of the underworld. The dense aura of bloodlust instantly dissolved countless Yin soldiers. However, the number of Wu soldiers who died at the hands of the Yin soldiers was more than five times the number of Yin soldiers who perished!
Finally, the Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers charged into the Yin Soldiers. They were like a red-hot knife cutting through cheese, easily slicing through the Yin Soldiers.
"So the Yin soldiers are nothing special after all. Without a top-tier Ghost King in charge, how can they possibly stop my Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers!" Ning Caichen, caught up in the killing intent, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Despite his cultivation level of only the Perfected Realm of Dao Entry, with the support of thousands of Dao Soldiers and a faint crimson dragon coiling around his body, his combat power has reached the Perfected Realm of Mortal Transformation, no less than that of the Black Mountain Demon!
Only two incense sticks' worth of time had passed, and the battle between the Ghost King of the Underworld and the wandering immortals of the mortal world was still undecided. The 100,000 ghost soldiers were already on the verge of collapse!
"This is bad! We must stop them! Otherwise, once the 100,000 Yin soldiers collapse, Ning Caichen will surely turn his sword against us!" The Black Mountain Demon was fighting alone against Yan Chixia and the two sword immortals from Shu Mountain, holding his own against three opponents. At this moment, he glanced at the battle below and was greatly alarmed.
It's important to know that the Black Mountain Demon and Ning Caichen are mortal enemies. Even if the Black Mountain Demon is willing to forget their past grievances, Ning Caichen will definitely try every means to kill the Black Mountain Demon in order to eliminate any future threats.
It is likely that once the Yin soldiers below completely collapse, Ning Caichen will use the power of the Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers to hold on and launch an attack on the Black Mountain Demon!
The Black Mountain Demon was already fighting Yan Chixia and the other two with all his might, barely managing to hold his own. If Ning Caichen, whose combat power was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal, were to join the fray, the Black Mountain Demon would undoubtedly be killed.
For the sake of his own life, the Black Mountain Demon couldn't care less about anything else and shouted to the sky, "Azure Fox King, Dragon King, when are you going to make your move?!"
The Azure Fox King and the Dragon King are both peerless fox kings in the human realm, with cultivation levels comparable to seventh or eighth-level scattered immortals. They have been secretly colluding with the Black Mountain Demon.
This time, the ghost army of the Netherworld launched a large-scale invasion of the human world. Human experts came out in full force to fight against the ghost king of the Netherworld. However, the Green Fox King and the Dragon King did not take action, but instead watched from the sidelines.
After their whereabouts were discovered by the Black Mountain Demon, they hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to seek refuge with the Netherworld.
Although they were born among humans, they have also caused no small amount of harm to the human race. Among demons and monsters, "demon" ranks even higher than "ghost," and these demon kings are the most hated by human experts.
If the several powerful figures of the Ghost Path present all die here, then the two Demon Kings' days are probably numbered as well.
Chapter 143 Even Their Own People Are Cut Off
The Green Fox King and the Dragon King charged at Ning Caichen at the same time. They had long understood the power of the Taoist and Buddhist masters, so they chose Ning Caichen, who seemed easier to deal with.
After all, Ning Caichen's cultivation level was only at the Daoist True Person realm, equivalent to the Dao Perfection realm in the main world, which was a whole realm weaker than the two great demon kings.
Ning Caichen only possessed combat power comparable to a Nine Tribulation Loose Immortal thanks to the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier. They only needed to inflict damage on the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier to weaken Ning Caichen.
"Roar!" The Dragon King revealed its true form, its body becoming a hundred feet long and five meters thick, winding like a snake, with two horns on its head.
Dragons with scales are called Jiaolong, those with wings are called Yinglong, those with horns are called Qiulong, and those without horns are called Chilong.
This dragon king was actually a thousand-year-old dragon that had been lying dormant in the human world for hundreds of years since the great changes in the world!
The Dragon King opened its mouth and spat out a breath of dragon fire that ignited the air, spraying it like lava onto the Wu army. Nearly ten thousand soldiers were burned to ashes by this single breath, a truly terrifying display of power!
The Dragon King prepared to use the same trick again, spitting out several dragon breaths at the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier, even enveloping Ning Caichen in them.
"How could my Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers be so easily dealt with?" Ning Caichen sneered, holding a blood-stained sword pointed straight at the sky: "Military Soul Protection, Blood Fiend Dragon Slayer!"
Under Ning Caichen's urging, a blood-red cloud rose above the heads of thousands of Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers, blocking the dragon breath of the Dragon King.
Then Ning Caichen slashed down at the Dragon King with his sword, and countless blood-red clouds instantly gathered under his sword, transforming into a sword beam that slashed out from the sky.
Although the Dragon King was soaring high in the sky, he still felt a chill run down his spine. His aura was firmly locked by Ning Caichen, and he had no choice but to smash his tail towards the sword light.
"Sizzle!"
The sharp sword light sliced through the dragon king's body, severing its tail in two, causing it to roar in pain.
Ning Caichen gave him no chance, and unleashed several more sword strikes, cutting the powerful thousand-year-old dragon into several pieces, making it utterly dead.
With the death of the Dragon King, the Green Fox King, who was helping the Yin soldiers kill the Wu army, was terrified. His three huge tails danced wildly in the air as he tried to use his escape technique to flee.
But how could Ning Caichen let it go? Looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of him, Ning Caichen shouted with some grief, "You beast! Tens of thousands of Wu soldiers died at your hands just now, and even hundreds of Blood Fiend Dao soldiers died under your sorcery!"
"If I don't kill you, how can I establish my authority?!"
"Die!"
A blood-red sword beam pierced the air. Although it was slightly weaker than the sword beam that had killed the Dragon King due to the absence of several hundred Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers, it was still something the Azure Fox King could not withstand. With a single sword strike, it severed one of its fox tails.
Seeing that Ning Caichen was about to attack again, the Green Fox King became anxious and quickly unleashed all his demonic power to the extreme. A faint green light shone from his eyes as he looked at Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen suddenly felt dizzy and thought that the thousand-year-old fox demon in front of him was quite good-looking. If she could transform into human form, she would definitely be a stunning beauty who could bring ruin to a country. He thought it would be better to take her back and play with her slowly...
"No! This is the seductive art of the fox demon clan!" Just as Ning Caichen's killing intent was fading, the purple innate luck above his head suddenly swayed, bringing him back to his senses. He quickly bit his tongue hard and finally came to his senses.
Ning Caichen has now grown into a king, and has played with many beautiful women. Once he comes to his senses, how could he be so easily swayed by beauty?
Enraged, he unleashed several more sword beams, and the Green Fox King soon followed in the footsteps of the Dragon King, being hacked to death by Ning Caichen.
Even after the two demon kings were killed one after another, Ning Caichen still did not stop. He combined the power of the Blood Fiend Dao Army and attacked the Yin Army of the Underworld.
Although the Yin soldiers were extraordinary, how could they match the might of the Blood Fiend Dao Army? After another cup of tea's time, most of the 100,000 Yin soldiers had been lost. Even though the ghosts were affected by the malevolent energy and were even more fearless of death, they finally collapsed, and the remaining Yin soldiers scattered and fled.
Ning Caichen gave the order, directly commanding the Wu army to rest on the spot, without pursuing the ghost soldiers.
Despite Ning Caichen's impressive display of power just now, his 300,000-strong army had actually suffered over 100,000 casualties, nearly half its strength, and was on the verge of collapse, with no strength left to fight.
After doing all this, Ning Caichen led thousands of Blood Fiend Dao soldiers forward, heading straight towards the Black Mountain Demon!
"Black Mountain Demon, you dared to steal Xiaoqian from me back then, today I'll destroy you first!" Ning Caichen sneered inwardly, and the power of thousands of Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers gathered on his body, unleashing a sword strike.
"Pfft!" The Black Mountain Demon was currently fighting against two Shu Mountain Sword Immortals and Yan Chixia, and could not spare much energy to resist this sword light. He was directly pierced through the heart by the sword, and half of the demonic clouds around him also dissipated.
"What a great opportunity!" Yan Chixia was overjoyed at the sight and laughed loudly, "Seniors, let's kill the Black Mountain Demon here right now, then go and wipe out the other Ghost Kings, and gather the strength of all the scattered immortals to support Senior Xuqing!"
The two Shu Mountain sword immortals were also in high spirits, and in the blink of an eye, they defeated the Black Mountain Demon so much that he was about to die.
"That Black Mountain Demon dared to steal my woman back then, today I'll personally slay him with my sword!" Ning Caichen sneered, once again activating the power of the Blood Fiend Dao Weapon, and unleashed a sword strike...
"puff!"
Yan Chixia's eyes widened in disbelief. A bloody mark appeared between his eyebrows, and the next moment his head exploded. He was dead beyond any doubt!
The master of the Xuanyuan Sword, the peerless immortal Yan Chixia, has fallen!
The two Shu Mountain sword immortals were both shocked and furious. They stopped their battle with the Black Mountain Demon and looked at Ning Caichen with some wariness. They angrily rebuked him, "Ning Caichen, you actually killed Yan Chixia. Do you want to kill us all and then dominate both the Yin and Yang realms?"
"You're still too green with your current strength!"
Little did Ning Caichen know that he was also stunned. He had clearly intended to swing his sword at the Black Mountain Demon, but after the sword was swung, his hands somehow went off an inch out of control, killing Yan Chixia instead.
This was undoubtedly like cutting off one's own arm for Ning Caichen! You must know that Yan Chixia had always been his staunch supporter and protector.
After the victory in this great battle, Ning Caichen only needed to spend two years unifying the human world, and then, with the help of the great fortune of humanity, cultivate in peace for several decades to break through to the Earth Immortal realm.
Given his cultivation level and status, it would be a natural thing for him to take advantage of the situation to attack the Netherworld and re-establish the Heavenly Court!
All of this was inseparable from Yan Chixia's support. Now that Ning Caichen has personally killed Yan Chixia, he has not only lost a great ally, but has also made the Taoist and Buddhist holy sites such as Kunlun, Shushan, and Jinguang Temple wary of him.
Ning Caichen could even kill Yan Chixia, who had always supported him, so why couldn't he turn against them in the future and wipe them out as well?
It can be said that today's sword strike almost destroyed Ning Caichen's chances of becoming the Heavenly Emperor of the Liaozhai world.
"It wasn't me! I wanted to kill the Black Mountain Demon! It's all the Black Mountain Demon's fault!" Ning Caichen panicked and raised his sword again to slash at the Black Mountain Demon, trying to pin the blame on him.
Chapter 144 The Descent of the Mysterious Heaven
Despite Ning Caichen's repeated explanations, the two sword immortals from the Shu Mountain Sect remained unconvinced. Seeing Ning Caichen draw his sword again, they immediately became fully alert and vigilant.
"puff!"
The sword strike was swift and ruthless, landing directly on the Black Mountain Demon. Although the Black Mountain Demon managed to block it in time, he was already severely injured and unable to withstand the full force of the attack, causing his injuries to worsen further.
"I hate it! Why didn't I beat you to death back then, you pretty boy!" The Black Mountain Demon roared to the sky in grief and indignation, a sound that truly saddened all who heard it and brought tears to their eyes.
The two Shu Mountain sword immortals exchanged a glance and secretly whispered, "It seems that Ning Caichen is indeed not one of the Black Mountain Demon's group?"
But just as this thought crossed their minds, another incredibly sharp, blood-red sword beam slashed down from below, striking the weaker Seven Tribulation Loose Immortal.
The sword light appeared extremely suddenly. The Shu Mountain sword immortal was caught off guard and was directly pierced through the heart by the sword, leaving a hole the size of a bowl in his chest.
If an ordinary person suffered such a severe injury, they would surely be dead. Even though the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal possessed extraordinary cultivation and vitality far exceeding that of ordinary people, he was still seriously injured and could barely keep alive with a wisp of magic power, having no strength left to fight.
"Ning Caichen, you beast!" The two Shu Mountain sword immortals were filled with grief and indignation, pointing at Ning Caichen and cursing, "Do you want to wipe us all out in one fell swoop to realize your ulterior motives?!"
Ning Caichen stared blankly at the sword in his hand. The last time, he was caught off guard, and the sword's attack suddenly changed direction, killing Yan Chixia. But this time, he clearly felt that although he was aiming at the Black Mountain Demon, at the moment he drew his sword, the power of the five hundred Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers around him guided him to deflect the sword light, which is why it struck the Shu Mountain Sword Immortal!
"There's something wrong with these five hundred Blood Fiend Dao soldiers!" Alarm bells rang in Ning Caichen's mind, and he immediately suspected Wang Xuan.
The training method for the Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers was entirely provided by Wang Xuan, and even the armor worn by the five hundred most elite Blood Fiend Dao Soldiers was provided by Wang Xuan.
If it weren't for Wang Xuan's machinations, Ning Caichen would have been willing to swallow the sword in his hand right there and then!
"So you've finally realized it now? But it's too late." Wang Xuan's true form had appeared beside Ning Caichen at some point. He grabbed at Ning Caichen, as if stripping him of some kind of power.
Ning Caichen's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Wang Xuan, "It's all your doing! I'll kill you today!"
However, his sword strike lacked its previous power. The enhancement from the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier had been completely stripped away from him, and he was now merely a cultivator comparable to the Perfected Dao Realm.
When the sword light reached Wang Xuan, he casually slapped it away, shattering the sword light.
Both the Xuantian World and the Liaozhai World are mid-level martial arts worlds, and their time flows at the same rate. Five years have passed in the Liaozhai World, and a full five years have passed in the Xuantian World as well.
In these five years, not only did Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, and others improve their cultivation, but Wang Xuan's true form also seemed to have been given a cheat code.
With the aid of Xuan Tian's will to cultivate and the help of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth to comprehend the Dao, in just five years, his cultivation level had already broken through from the Perfect Entry Dao Realm to the late Transcendent Realm, making him comparable to powerful generals like Li Dian and Yue Jin in the main world!
Without the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier's blessing, how could Ning Caichen possibly harm Wang Xuan? The current Ning Caichen doesn't even deserve a second glance from Wang Xuan!
Wang Xuan used the Lingxu Step, his physical body floating in the void, and laughed loudly at the immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters in the sky: "You have all arrived today, so I will wipe you all out in one fell swoop, so that I can accept a clean and tidy Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio world!"
"Boom!" The power of the Blood Fiend Dao Soldier that had been taken from Ning Caichen was instantly added to Wang Xuan, causing his power to rise steadily and making him several times stronger than Ning Caichen before.
"Azure Sky Collapses!" Wang Xuan's cultivation was a whole major realm higher than Ning Caichen's, and the grade of his Azure Nether Sword was far superior to Ning Caichen's sword. When he unleashed the killing move of his own world, it was simply overwhelming.
With just one sword strike, the already severely injured Black Mountain Demon was pierced through the center of his forehead, and even his soul was annihilated. His demonic body transformed into a black stone mountain and fell from mid-air, causing the ground to tremble.
"Not good! This beast is ferocious! We must flee!" The immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters in the sky were already stunned by this sudden turn of events. Now that they had witnessed Wang Xuan's power, none of them dared to block him head-on.
