Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 775 - 688: Encountering a Strong Enemy

For the Law Enforcers, although there are times when they are powerless, as the current rulers of this universe, they still have many conveniences. Take, for instance, the opening of the Fallen Tomb this time. In the past instances when the Fallen Tomb had been opened, because there were no special circumstances, the Law Enforcers, especially the Heavenly Patrollers, did not intervene much. Those who entered the Fallen Tomb were left to fend for themselves, their survival and their loot were wholly up to them. However, this time was different; this was the most crucial time, so for the eight Law Enforcers, they did not mind employing some tactics during the process.

And these tactics had already begun when the Law Enforcers distributed the Heavenly Patrol Orders. Although individuals like Yue Huangquan were always on guard, they still fell for the tricks. On this occasion of the Fallen Tomb’s opening, the Heavenly Patrollers used three sly tactics. First, they tampered with everyone’s Heavenly Patrol Orders. Second, they laid some arrangements at the location where one enters the Fallen Tomb, and third, the eight Heavenly Patrollers did not enter the Fallen Tomb right away but staggered their entry time with the people from the Divine Nations, as to their reasons, only the Heavenly Patrollers themselves knew.

As a result of these three tactics, just as the Fallen Tomb opened, the Netherworld World faced a tremendous crisis. The Heavenly Patrol Orders of everyone had been tampered with, but not all in the same way. Those in the hands of Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation could sense the location of all other Divine Nations’ Heavenly Patrol Orders, which meant that in this place where Divine Sense could only reach a few thousand meters, the people from Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation could clearly know everyone else’s position, which could be described as a cheat. This gave the people from Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation a significant advantage from the very beginning.

Not only that, the people from Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation could also contact each other through the Heavenly Patrol Orders, although with a limited range but this was absolutely stronger than the others. The Heavenly Patrol Orders in the hands of the other Divine Nations did not have this function; they could not obtain any useful information from their Orders, but instead, their Heavenly Patrol Orders emitted a very distinct fluctuation, which was almost imperceptible to them but to the creatures inside the Fallen Tomb, it was akin to a strong fragrance of prey. In this grand gambit of various powers, conspiracy and calculation had been utilized to the extreme, often leaving one clueless to how one had been plotted against and died without realizing it.

An hour after the Fallen Tomb opened, the people of the Netherworld World had largely completed the search task previously arranged by Yue Huangquan, but when the four of them gathered together again, a sudden change occurred. At this moment, Yue Huangquan’s expression was rather ugly, he had never imagined that combat would come so soon. Originally, Yue Huangquan thought that there would inevitably be fighting within the Fallen Tomb but expected it to happen after a considerable amount of time, since everyone was unfamiliar with the place, and considering the vastness of the Fallen Tomb, the chances of encountering enemies were actually very low. The most likely scenario would be everyone searching with all their might at the beginning and encountering each other for a fight in the end.

But evidently, his estimate was wrong, Yue Huangquan, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Flame God, and Star Sinker, the four standing back to back, watched nervously as the enemies surrounded them. The situation had turned dire at the very beginning. Encircling the four were none other than the five individuals led by Ling Weiyang of Myriad Demons Country and the five led by Xi Zhao of Underworld God Annihilation Nation. All ten people were looking at the four trapped in the middle with smiles on their faces, seeming completely at ease.

"Lord Yue Huangquan, I offer my respects. My name is Ling Weiyang, the newly appointed Domain Lord of Myriad Demons Country. And this is the new Domain Lord of the Underworld God Annihilation Nation, Xi Zhao. We can actually be considered old acquaintances. So, how about it, Lord Yue Huangquan, anything to say? Since we’re all familiar faces, I’ll give you a chance to leave your last words!" At this moment, Ling Weiyang was dressed in a white robe, his purple hair casually tied back, and with that exceedingly warm smile, he truly lived up to his reputation as the most handsome man among the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms of years past. Standing by his side, Xi Zhao seemed to have changed a lot since the last time they met. Firstly, his hair had turned completely silver-white, and he was wearing a snowflake-patterned Battle Armor, his hands empty. Just silently standing there, he exuded an incredibly dangerous aura, like a million-year-old iceberg on the brink of collapse, ready to cause fissures in the earth and tear the sky asunder at the slightest provocation.

After listening, Yue Huangquan took a slow breath, his eyes devoid of much panic. First, he straightened out his clothes and then looked at Ling Weiyang. "I really didn’t expect that we would be outmaneuvered right from the start, truly a masterful tactic. It seems this must have been planned well in advance, even the fact that we would appear near the Blood Sea was probably intentional. If I’m not mistaken, your appearance was right beside ours. I want to ask, where exactly did things go wrong?" Yue Huangquan was extremely sharp, piecing together the situation in just a short period. Based on the information brought out by those who had previously entered the Fallen Tomb, the location where one would appear inside was random, a matter of luck. Moreover, the Fallen Tomb was vast, certainly no less impressive than any Divine Kingdom. In such a huge place, the probability of three forces meeting was very low, but now, in just a single Chinese Hour, Myriad Demons Country and the Underworld God Annihilation Nation had already found their own group. If they said there was no trickery involved, no one would believe it.

Yue Huangquan’s calmness slightly irritated Ling Weiyang. "I’ve heard that the only way for a person from the Netherworld World to leave is to find a compatible body to let the soul fuse into and resurrect, but doing so results in the soul and body merging completely. I’m truly curious about this, and since I’ve encountered Lord Yue Huangquan today, it’s the perfect opportunity to satisfy this curiosity. As for your question, hehe, I’ll tell you after you’re dead. Attack!" What kind of person was Ling Weiyang? He would not make such a novice mistake of revealing secrets he shouldn’t when the enemy hadn’t clearly perished, thinking that victory was assured. A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit – Ling Weiyang understood this principle well. So, he wouldn’t tell Yue Huangquan anything. Revealing everything and allowing an enemy a clear understanding before death was something only a fool would do.

At Ling Weiyang’s command, eight individuals charged forth instantly. There were only four on the other side, and even without the participation of Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao, it was two against one – eliminating the opposition was merely a matter of time. Among these eight individuals were the Demon Spirit Butcher and Ke Mo. "How much time do we have left?" Xi Zhao asked, observing the intensifying fight. Ling Weiyang appeared to calculate silently for a moment before responding, "About a Chinese Hour – we must resolve this within a Chinese Hour or else, we will have to retreat!"

"Good, let’s also take action, underestimating the enemy is always a mistake!" Ling Weiyang nodded. Then, within a few flickers, they both joined the fray. Those who were originally at a two-to-one disadvantage, like Yue Huangquan and his comrades, suddenly found themselves under increased pressure. Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao didn’t focus on attacking any specific individual, but rather, they moved back and forth across the battlefield, providing support wherever needed. This made Yue Huangquan and his companions feel as though each of them was facing four opponents at once. When up against adversaries of comparable strength, the overwhelming advantage in numbers was starkly evident.

In a little ploy by the Law Enforcers, they had interfered with the appearing locations of all Divine Kingdoms, just like Yue Huangquan had mentioned. The people from Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation were merely tens of thousands of meters from the Netherworld World group. In fact, Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation had emerged together. Furthermore, the spot where the Netherworld World group appeared had also been calculated. First, it was near the Blood Sea, and judging by Heavenly Patroller’s knowledge of Hei Kui, the moment he saw the Blood Sea, he would not be able to resist entering it to absorb its power. Secondly, due to its proximity to the Blood Sea, there were no significant monstrous entities from the Fallen Tomb nearby. This ensured that Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao would have enough time to eliminate the people of the Netherworld World! (To be continued.
