Chapter 861 Challenge Appears

Gu Jiuchen frowned, Ye Qing's words set off a storm in his heart. Abandoned disciple of the Demonic Cult? Why help them? Jiuyou Pagoda, Jiuyou Xuanming Pearl, these names sound full of ominous omens. He took a deep look at Ye Qing, trying to see something from that ordinary face, but in the end he found nothing.

"Let's go." Gu Jiuchen suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned to say to everyone. Ye Linglong smiled sweetly at him and held his hand tightly, silently conveying her trust and support.

The Nine Nether Tower towers into the clouds, its body is as black as ink, like a dormant giant beast, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. The tower is surrounded by thick demonic energy, forming a natural barrier that blocks all creatures trying to get closer.

"Break!" Gu Jiuchen shouted loudly, the Qingyun Sword glowed brightly, and a sharp sword energy shot straight into the sky, slashing hard on the demonic energy barrier. However, this seemingly unstoppable blow was like a mud cow entering the sea. It only caused a ripple on the barrier and then disappeared without a trace.

"How could this happen?" Everyone was shocked. The defensive power of this demonic barrier was far beyond their imagination.

Gu Jiuchen's face was solemn, and he fired several spells one after another, trying to find the weakness of the barrier, but the result made him even more frightened. This barrier is seamless and has no flaws. It seems to be the strongest barrier between heaven and earth, unbreakable.

After repeated attempts and repeated failures, the originally high fighting spirit of the Zhengdao people was gradually worn away, and a sense of powerlessness spread in their hearts. Do they really want to fail and stop here?

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, there was a terrifying...

Ran's laughter suddenly came from the sky and echoed throughout the world, "Hahahaha, a group of ants also want to shake the foundation of my demon sect?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a mysterious man wearing a black robe and a mask, suspended in mid-air, looking down at them, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

"Who are you?" Gu Jiuchen's heart rang with alarms. This person's aura was so powerful that it was even stronger than him. He was by no means an ordinary person.

"Who am I?" The man in black robe laughed eerily, his voice like the cry of a night owl, creepy. "You people of light who claim to be righteous don't even recognize me. How ridiculous!"

He slowly picked it up, flashing a heart-stopping cold light.

"You are... the Demon Lord?!" The crowd burst into exclamations, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.

The Demon King is the most mysterious leader of the Demon Cult for hundreds of years. He is rumored to be extremely powerful. No one knows his true identity. They only know that he is ruthless and will use any means to achieve his goals. All along, they thought that the Demon Lord was just a legend, but they didn't expect that he would appear here!

"Yes, I am the Demon Lord you call me." The Demon Lord smiled proudly and glanced at everyone, "You think you are very smart and can find the Nine Nether Tower, but you don't know that everything is under my control. Your every move Every move is within my plan!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiuchen's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"What do you mean?" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the devil's mouth, "It's very simple. From the beginning, I deliberately released the news.

Lure you into the Nine Nether Tower. Do you really think that a mere barrier of demonic energy can stop the steps of my demonic sect? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his hands forming seals, and the originally indestructible barrier of demonic energy suddenly fluctuated violently, like boiling magma. The next moment, the barrier dissipated into nothingness like a dreamy bubble!

"This..." Everyone was stunned and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

"Now, if you have any other means, just use them!" The Demon Lord smiled arrogantly, and an invisible coercion emanated from him, covering the entire world, making people breathless.

Gu Jiuchen and others looked solemn, knowing that the real battle had just begun. The Demon Lord's strength is unfathomable, far beyond their imagination, and this battle is destined to be a tough one.

"Don't panic, everyone, form a formation to meet the enemy!" Xuanfeng shouted loudly, and everyone quickly formed a sword formation to protect Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong in the center.

"Don't overestimate your own capabilities!" The Demon Lord sneered, his figure flashed, turned into a black shadow, and rushed into the crowd with lightning speed.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the sword formation was instantly torn apart by the Demon Lord. Several disciples with weaker cultivation levels were directly knocked out, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

"Too strong! He is simply inhuman!"

"We are no match for him!"

Despair spread among the crowd, and they felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of such a powerful enemy.

Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry. She was keenly aware that the Demon Lord seemed to have deliberately avoided attacking Gu Jiuchen. Did he have any other purpose?

At this moment, Ye Linglong suddenly

It was discovered that there was a black mark on the Demon Lord's right wrist, emitting a faint light. This mark was very hidden, and if she hadn't been observant, it would have been impossible to detect it.

"Jiuchen, look at his right wrist!" Ye Linglong lowered her voice and pointed at the Demon Lord's wrist.

Gu Jiuchen followed her gaze and saw the black mark. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Linglong, what did you find?" Xuan Yu asked.

"I suspect that the mark may be his weakness!" Ye Linglong said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to attack there!"

However, just when they were about to take action, the Demon Lord suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Linglong with cold eyes, a meaningful smile on his lips.

"You seem to have discovered something extraordinary, little girl."

Ye Linglong's heart trembled. The other party seemed to be on guard...

Ye Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and the Demon Lord's insightful eyes made her shudder. Could it be that he saw through his guess? No, it's impossible. This mark is so hidden, how could he notice it? Ye Linglong forced herself to calm down, rolled her eyes, and said with a fake smile: "What extraordinary things can I discover? I just think you are pretty good-looking. It's a pity that you follow the Demon Cult and do bad things."

Her words may seem frivolous, but they actually contain a hidden secret. Ye Linglong tried to use this method to disturb the devil's mind and make him relax his vigilance, thus buying himself more time to think about countermeasures.

However, who is the devil? He has traveled across the world for hundreds of years, what kind of person has he not seen? In his eyes, Ye Linglong’s little tricks

Not enough to watch at all. He just smiled faintly and did not answer her words. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Jiuchen, with a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Gu Jiuchen, your disciple is very articulate, but do you think she can leave here alive today? "

"How dare you!" Gu Jiuchen was furious, and the sword energy around him surged, like a volcano about to erupt. Although he didn't know what Ye Linglong discovered, he knew that the Demon Lord's words were definitely not alarmist.

"What am I afraid of?" The Demon Lord smiled arrogantly and suddenly took action. A black demonic energy turned into a sharp blade and went straight to Ye Linglong's throat.

"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were about to burst and he wanted to help, but was stopped by the Demon Lord's other hand.

"Your opponent is me!" Demon Lord snorted coldly, and the two of them instantly fought.

"Linglong, be careful!" Xuanfeng and others also realized the danger and wanted to step forward to help, but were blocked by other members of the Demon Cult and were unable to escape.

At the critical moment, Ye Linglong dodged and barely escaped the Demon Lord's attack. However, the demonic energy left a blood mark on her face.

"Linglong!" Mingyue exclaimed, wanting to step forward to check her injuries, but was stopped by Ye Linglong.

"I'm fine." Ye Linglong wiped the blood on her face, her eyes becoming more solemn than ever. She knew that she couldn't panic now, she had to calm down and find the other party's flaws.

"Hahaha, little girl, you are quite clever." The Demon Lord looked at Ye Linglong's embarrassed look, his eyes full of teasing, "But, do you think you can escape?"

"Whether you can escape or not, you will know if you try." Ye Linglong took a deep breath

, circulate the spiritual energy in the body to the extreme, and prepare for a desperate fight.

At this moment, Xuanfeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Demon Lord, why do these juniors need to be involved in the grudge between you and me? How about we end it today?"

"Xuanfeng, are you going to die for them?" The Demon Lord smiled coldly, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"Even if you die, I will drag you to hell with me!" Xuanfeng roared, golden light glowed around him, and a powerful force burst out from his body.

"Okay, since you want to die, then I will grant your wish!" The Demon Lord stopped talking nonsense, and the two fought together again.

"We're coming too!" Upon seeing this, Xuan Yu and others also joined the battle and fought with the Demon Cult members.

For a time, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the shouts of killing were shaking the sky and the earth.
