I was assassinated by the reborn at the beginning, and I became a god on the spot

Chapter 156

Xu Zhen and Tang Wenruo were, after all, fourth-order leader-level warriors, far stronger than ordinary and elite fourth-order demon puppets.

The number of the fourth-order demon puppets of the demon king was small, and most of them were ordinary.

Zhou Li and the Jade-faced Demon Fox were only in poor condition, not seriously injured and dying.

Therefore, although Xu Zhen and Tang Wenruo were under great pressure, they were not unbearable. After killing some of the fourth-order demon puppets and crushing all the thick tree roots that were attacking, the demon puppets suddenly retreated like a tide.

"Well, the demon king gave up because he saw that he couldn't do anything to us?" Xu Zhen said after taking a breath.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Tang Wenruo shook his head.

This is the demon king. With the huge number of demon puppets, he is probably not weaker than the demon country.

"No matter what, as long as you send me to the demon king, I will naturally have a way to kill it." Zhou Li said in a deep voice.

Everyone didn't say much. Since they had entered the white fog, they couldn't retreat. They had to keep going forward and kill the demon king to have a chance of survival.

These white fogs not only have a strong psychedelic effect, but also absorb most of the residual power.

Although they fought fiercely in it and the white fog was boiling, in fact, it did not cause much damage to the surrounding environment.

Otherwise, with the strength of the fourth level, I'm afraid that this area of ​​hundreds of miles would have been razed to the ground.

After the demon puppets retreated, there was no other pressure. Everyone walked for another hour. Suddenly, the front was clear, and the white fog that seemed to have no end finally disappeared.

A huge city appeared in front of everyone.

"That's Qingjiang City." Xu Zhen exclaimed.

After passing through the white fog, they actually came to this city that had disappeared for many years.

Zhou Li looked forward.

This city, occupied by tree demons and shrouded in white fog for a hundred years, is in ruins. Countless dark brown tree roots are scattered throughout the streets and alleys. These tree roots throughout the city finally gather in the center of the city, a giant tree that blocks out the sun.

Its trunk is hundreds of meters wide, and countless branches and leaves extend out, supporting the sky.

Above the treetops, there is a sky with endless white fog rolling.

Branches hang down one by one, and on each branch, there is a figure hanging. These figures are so dense and numerous that it makes people's scalps numb.

"Demon tree, demon tree." Tang Wenruo was terrified.

"It seems that everyone who enters this place has become a demon puppet." Xu Zhen's face was full of solemnity: "Qingjiang City is located on the spiritual vein. A hundred years ago, this was the territory of the Qingjiang Sect. After the tree demon appeared in the world, the Qingjiang Sect was also destroyed. Only a few disciples outside escaped."

"The ancestor of the Qingjiang Sect is a person of the same level as us, and the heavenly demon slayer who was trapped here..."

Xu Zhen didn't say anything more.

I'm afraid that they can't deal with these two people alone, not to mention the huge number of demon puppets.

Even if Xiao Hao was not injured, with the strength of the three of them, if they entered this place, the result would most likely be to become a demon puppet of the demon king and become the opponent's claws.

The three looked at each other and looked at Zhou Li at the same time.

This level of demon king is not something they can deal with.

The only hope is Zhou Li.

"The current strength is not enough. Wait a little longer until the Demon Suppression Division sends more people." Zhou Li said in a deep voice: "There are too many demon puppets. I need to get close to the demon king to a certain distance."

"Okay." The three did not hesitate.

They have already entered the white fog. There is no way back. The only way is to fight.

Zhou Li certainly would not choose to take action at this time. After all, the last demon king has not appeared yet.

They did not enter the city, and the demon king did not take the initiative to attack.

The two sides just confronted each other.

A day later, reinforcements came in.

There were dozens of people, all of them were fourth-level. Although most of them were ordinary and elite, they were also an extremely powerful force.

The reinforcements came from the Demon Suppression Division and civilian forces, led by another Heaven-level Demon Slayer. They appeared in the other direction of Qingjiang City. When they first saw Qingjiang City, they were also frightened and did not dare to attack. They circled outside and joined Zhou Li and others.

"This is the strongest force that can be mobilized while ensuring that the Great Zhou Dynasty does not fall into chaos." The new Heaven-level Demon Slayer named Chu Dayuan explained the situation.

Xu Zhen and the others expressed their understanding.

The Great Zhou Dynasty could not really put all its forces in, after all, there were still demons outside.

Zhou Li also understood that it was impossible for anyone else to come in.

"Through."

His eyes swept across the crowd.

In the crowd, he indeed found several demons, but they were all middle-level demons, and the third demon king still did not show up.

Of course, this does not mean thatThe third demon king did not come, and it is very likely that he is hiding somewhere, observing this side. The Jade-faced Demon Fox and other demons are its eyes and ears.

"Really vigilant." Zhou Li was also a little speechless.

This is the first time he has seen such a timid big boss. No wonder the Demon Suppression Division and the civilian forces do not know its existence.

Zhou Li can only take one step at a time. He does not believe that this demon king can really bear not to show up.

"Start the attack."

With an order, everyone stepped into Qingjiang City, and this action seemed to trigger a mechanism. Countless demon puppets fell from the branches and killed them, and the tree roots all over the city were like giant pythons turning over and strangling them.

The war broke out.

This battle was extremely difficult. There were too many demon puppets, and they were fearless. Moreover, in Qingjiang City, they seemed to have been amplified in some way, and their strength increased a lot.

Under their crazy attack, every step forward was extremely difficult.

However, no matter how difficult it was, they were moving forward steadily.

The power of the demon king was not without limit. It could upgrade the first-level yellow cattle demon puppet to the second-level, but it was impossible to upgrade the third-level demon puppet to the fourth-level.

No matter how strong the demon puppets in Qingjiang City were, they were only a city, while Zhou Li and his team had gathered more than half of the top forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone was fourth-level, and more than half of them were elite. The fourth-level demons from the same force were also good at cooperation and joint attack. When they joined hands, they could even compete with the heaven-level demon slayer for a short time.

In this way, the group slowly advanced, getting closer and closer to the demon king.

When there were only ten kilometers left from the demon king, the demon puppets' attacks became more and more crazy, and many people in the team were injured.

"It's OK."

When Xu Zhen and others were struggling to hold on, suddenly, a calm voice came from the team.

Zhou Li stood out from the crowd.

During this journey, he rarely took action, but no one objected, because they knew very well that they alone could not kill the demon king.

All hope rested on Zhou Li.
