Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

205. Chapter 205 Sneak Attack!

Chapter 205: Ambush!

"Is it him?"

Liu Zimo looked up at the void.

Through layers of killing formations, he captured the fluctuation of the breath emitted by the person speaking.

Soon, he recognized that this person, who hid his head and showed his tail, was the mysterious strongman who had directly attacked him in the Fire Cloud Palace.

He didn't expect that the retaliation from the other party would come so quickly!

It seems that the lesson of having his hand severed earlier was not profound enough!

"But is he the only one?"

Liu Zimo's gaze swept around, investigating in all directions.

At that time in the Fire Cloud Palace, there seemed to be six people who simultaneously fought him for control of the palace. Why did only one person suddenly appear now?

Where did the other five go? Are they still hiding in the dark?

"Liu Sheng, we have implicated you!"

"Amitabha!"

"Liu Advisor, if it is impossible to succeed, please don't bother with us anymore. This humble monk doesn't want you to sacrifice yourself for us here!"

At this moment, Hong Yuxun and Zhiyuan Shengshi had already awakened.

The two old experts naturally realized their current situation and felt ashamed and determined when they realized that they had become bait for the other party to plot against Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo's talent and aptitude far surpassed theirs, and he was the greatest hope of the Human Federation in the battle against the extraterrestrial monsters.

If possible, they would rather perish here themselves than see Liu Zimo encounter any accidents while trying to rescue them.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic!"

Liu Zimo turned his head and glanced at the two of them, indifferent as he said, "It's just a trapping formation. Breaking it is not difficult, and it's far from the point of life and death!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo directly summoned the [Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer] and smashed it down on a piece of ground beneath his feet!

Boom!

Debris from the bricks and stones flew in all directions.

A huge pit about ten meters deep appeared before their eyes.

Liu Zimo didn't say much, he pulled Zhiyuan Shengshi and Hong Yuxun and jumped into the bottom of the pit at the same time.

Then, he swung the holy hammer at the ground again.

After several consecutive strikes, a tunnel several hundred meters deep was created on the square of the Netherworld Hall, directly connecting to the spiritual energy secret realm beneath the island.

Zhiyuan Shengshi and Hong Yuxun followed behind, looking somewhat dumbfounded.

They had never seen or heard of such a way to break a formation.

By the way, the formation that had just trapped them, wasn't it just a piece of junk?

It looked full of killing intent and extraordinary power, and people were shouting that it was a "saint-level trapping formation," incredibly powerful.

But in the end, it turned out to be a silver-plated spearhead, useless when it mattered!

Otherwise, how could it be so easily broken by digging a tunnel?

In fact, it wasn't just Zhiyuan Shengshi and Hong Yuxun who felt confused and puzzled.

Wan Kun, the Demon Lord who personally set up this saint-level killing formation, was even more surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Is this a joke?!"

"This is the true holy-level trapping formation that has trapped and killed demonic creatures that have reached the holy realm!"

"I have personally experienced this formation before, and it is an all-encompassing killing formation with no blind spots. There shouldn't be any loopholes!"

"But... why has it changed like this?!"

"What kind of demonic technique did Liu Zimo use? How did he casually smash a hole in the ground and break my carefully prepared holy-level trapping formation!?"

"This is so unreasonable!"

In his mind, Wan Kun Demon Lord was ranting and raving.

This result greatly exceeded his expectations and was completely different from what he had imagined.

Moreover, this holy-level trapping formation was his ultimate trump card against Liu Zimo.

At the same time, it was also the killing formation he had prepared for the pseudo-gentlemen of the Tai Chu Dao Men and the Tian Di Shu Yuan.

And yet, it was easily broken by Liu Zimo as soon as it was revealed. Where could he find justice?

When the ancestor passed down this formation, he didn't tell him that there was such an alternative way to break it, right?

In the midst of Wan Kun Demon Lord's confusion, Liu Zimo had already brought Zhi Yuan Holy Master and Hong Yu Xun into the underground spiritual energy secret realm.

Without hesitation, he waved his right hand and directly took away all the accumulated Earth Vein Spirit Springs in the center of the secret realm.

And the dozen or so human martial artists who were still practicing in the secret realm while wearing modern clothes were knocked unconscious by Liu Zimo with a single palm.

These people were obviously new disciples who had just been taken in by the Yin Ming Hall. Some of them were even disciples of the Yu Xun Martial Arts Academy and soldiers of the Military Participation Department.

They had little connection with the Yin Ming Hall and were even forcibly abducted and imprisoned here, so they didn't deserve to die.

On the other hand, the old woman in ancient clothes who guarded the entrance to the secret realm and emitted a decaying aura was directly bound and killed by Liu Zimo, reaping the benefits.

"Your good sister Qiu Jinzhi had a series of misfortunes and died under the attack of the Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer!"

"'Stealing Heaven' talent passive triggered, you have inherited half of your good sister Qiu Jinzhi's remaining legacy! Demon Tactics +500, Martial Dao cultivation +500, Spiritual Power +300, Soul Strength +300."

"Your good sister Qiu Jinzhi has gone offline, currently available binding targets (64/100)."

Very well.

Although she was only at the Divine Connection Realm, she provided him with 500 years of Martial Dao cultivation and 300 years of Spiritual Power cultivation, which was not bad.

He just hoped that he would encounter more big fish in the Yin Ming Hall next.

Liu Zimo licked his lips lightly, incorporated Qiu Jinzhi's remaining spiritual consciousness into his sea of knowledge, and then left the spiritual energy secret realm with Zhi Yuan Holy Master and Hong Yu Xun.

Quietly bypassing the holy-level killing formation in front of the main hall, Liu Zimo began to wander around the Yin Ming Hall's mountain gate.

After inheriting part of the "Demon Tactics" from the old witch, Liu Zimo could now be considered half a disciple of the Yin Ming Hall.

The protective formation of the Yin Ming Hall recognized Liu Zimo, who emitted the aura of the Demon Tactics, and he encountered little resistance wherever he went.

Coupled with Liu Zimo's rich experience in formations, he and Zhi Yuan Holy Master and Hong Yu Xun moved freely in the various halls and secret chambers of the Yin Ming Hall, as if fish in water, unimpeded.

However, to Liu Zimo's surprise, they had searched the entire Yin Ming Hall and had not encountered a single disciple of the Yin Ming Hall besides the old witch he had killed.

In this vast Yin Ming Hall, there was not a second ancient cultivator left!

Liu Zimo was extremely unhappy.

He had a feeling of coming with great enthusiasm but returning in disappointment and frustration.

He had originally planned to harvest more crops here and take his cultivation strength to a new level.

But this was it?

There is only one chive in the realm of Tongshen, which is not even enough to fill the gap compared to those quasi-saints in the Fire Cloud Palace!

After Liu Zimo escaped the formation in an extraordinary way, the guy who was laughing arrogantly in the void disappeared without a trace.

No matter how Liu Zimo provoked, even when he used the [Fire Cloud Purple Gold Hammer] to smash the mountain gate of the Netherworld Hall to pieces, the other party did not make a move to stop him.

Faced with such a tough opponent, Liu Zimo could only reluctantly give up and return to the capital city with the Wise Sage, Hong Yuxun, and the surviving ordinary martial artists.

Swish!

Just as Liu Zimo left, the figure of the Demon Lord Wankun descended directly into the completely destroyed mountain gate of the Netherworld Hall.

Seeing the gate completely destroyed and the protective formation's eyes and foundation taken away, there was no hope for repair.

The corner of the Demon Lord Wankun's eye twitched involuntarily, feeling extremely distressed.

"I underestimated this Liu Zimo after all!"

"Fortunately, I didn't put all my eggs in one basket. Otherwise, today's Netherworld Hall would have suffered the same fate as the Fire Cloud Palace, with its inheritance completely severed by Liu Zimo!"

The Demon Lord Wankun muttered to himself, sighing inexplicably.

"This little guy has truly become a force to be reckoned with. His cultivation has reached the peak quasi-saint realm, and with a sacred artifact to protect him, as well as his proficiency in formations, he is not easy to kill."

"Should I really join forces with those self-righteous old guys?"

"No, no, no. Compared to Liu Zimo, those old guys probably want to kill me first!"

"Once my true form appears in front of them, it will be difficult for me to come back alive!"

"So, let him go!"

"I don't believe those old guys can swallow this humiliation and watch a young upstart from the next generation ride on their necks and set rules for them."

"I just need to wait patiently for a while, and those old guys will definitely make a move against Liu Zimo!"

"By then, I just need to be a hidden yellow bird..."

The Demon Lord Wankun stood in the broken mountain gate and whispered to himself.

After a moment, he waved his right hand and completely closed the huge mountain gate that covered the entire island, then moved away!

Unbeknownst to him, an invisible figure using invisibility technique was quietly following behind him.

After a few breaths, the Demon Lord Wankun descended into a small ruined county called Wannian County.

The county was not big, occupying less than ten square kilometers.

Originally, this should have been a dead city without any signs of human activity.

But now, the demonic beasts in the city had been completely cleared, and basic defensive formations had been set up outside the city to effectively prevent wild demonic beasts from entering.

After appearing in the city, the disciples of the Netherworld Hall, who were busy cleaning up the demonic beast corpses and tidying up the rooms, came over to pay their respects to the Demon Lord Wankun.

These people were the true backbone and inheritors of the Netherworld Hall.

The Netherworld Mountain Gate that appeared on the East Sea island was just a cover and deception.

"Master, the temporary residence has been cleaned up almost. When do you think we should open the mountain gate and officially recruit new disciples?"

After the greetings, the first disciple, Zhai Anshi, respectfully reported to the Demon Lord Wankun and asked softly.

"No rush!"

The Demon Lord Wankun waved his hand lightly and said calmly,

"After all, it is no longer ancient times. Spiritual energy has just recovered, and the laws of the Great Dao have undergone many changes compared to tens of thousands of years ago."

"What you need to do now is not to rush to recruit new disciples for conversion, but to carefully comprehend the new laws of the Great Dao in this era and consolidate and improve your own cultivation strength!"

Huh?!

Master, did something happen to you? Did you lose your mind?

Zhai Anshi and the others looked up at Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, in confusion.

A few hours ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth shook, and the Netherworld Palace broke free from its seal.

Who was shouting to immediately open the mountain gate and recruit the geniuses of this era before the prestigious sects like the Tai Chu Dao Men and the Heaven and Earth Academy? They wanted to strengthen the Netherworld's fortune.

How is it that in just a few hours, Master has changed his mind, tucked his tail, and doesn't even dare to open the mountain gate?

Could it be that Master has angered the Tai Chu Dao Men, the Heaven and Earth Academy, and other righteous sects?

"Why are you all still standing there?" Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, shouted angrily. "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Yes, Master!"

Many disciples immediately bowed and dared not raise any objections.

At this moment...

Liu Zimo, who was standing invisibly behind Wan Kun, looked at the seventeen disciples of the Netherworld Palace gathered in the hall, and finally revealed a satisfied smile in his eyes.

That's more like it!

As a prestigious ancient sect with a lineage of saints, how could the disciples under the sect be only one or two?

Without paying attention to the color of the lock shadows above these people's heads, Liu Zimo directly used his mind to bind all the lock shadows on everyone's heads in an instant.

[Binding successful! Your good brother, Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, is online. Currently, there are (65/100) available targets for binding.]

[Binding successful! Your good brother, Zhai Anshi, is online. Currently, there are (66/100) available targets for binding.]

[...]

[Binding successful! Your good brother, Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, is online. Currently, there are (82/100) available targets for binding.]

Including Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, Liu Zimo consecutively bound eighteen disciples of the Netherworld Palace.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone turned and left, Liu Zimo directly used the [Instant Body Technique] towards Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, who had the strongest cultivation.

Boom!

A dazzling white light flashed!

Just as the sword in Liu Zimo's hand was about to pierce Wan Kun, the Demon Lord's throat and decapitate him...

A pendant on Wan Kun, the Demon Lord's chest suddenly broke through his clothes and emitted a radiant light.

Then, a white and tender jade hand, exuding a sacred aura and carrying the supreme laws of the Great Dao, quietly reached out from the pendant and directly struck Liu Zimo's fatal blow.

Whoosh!

The sword shattered and instantly vaporized.

And that jade hand, amidst the powerful attack wave that was a hundred times stronger than the Quasi-Saint Realm, dissipated like foam in the wind.

The two attacks canceled each other out, and with a loud explosion, Liu Zimo and Wan Kun, the Demon Lord, were both pushed back hundreds of meters.

Among the seventeen disciples of the Netherworld Palace who had not yet left, except for Zhai Anshi and the other three Quasi-Saints, all the other disciples below the God-Connection Realm were killed in the tremendous explosion of energy.

The sound of reminders kept ringing in Liu Zimo's ears.

Fourteen leeks fell at the same time, and the opportunities and benefits that were shared instantly fell upon him!

A massive amount of cultivation energy rushed into Liu Zimo's Qi Sea and Sea of Knowledge in an instant.

This also allowed Liu Zimo, who should have been severely injured, to almost instantly recover to full health.

He directly returned to his peak state, and even became stronger than before.
