Chapter 887: Desperate

“Assassin? This Fei Yi really put up a good show!”

Liu Ming shook his head as if muttering to himself, then he raised his voice and said coldly,

“The person I’m chasing is called Fei Yi, also known as the evil cultivator called Thousand Illusion Demon. You must have heard of this name right? This person is a cultivator of the Real Pellet State, and he is good at illusion. Your cultivation is still low, so you can’t see through his true face.”

“Thousand Illusion Demon!?”

The 4 guardian cultivators of the Jiang Kingdom could not help but take a deep breath when they heard the big name of the evil cultivator.

“Great elder, what this senior said is not unreasonable. The assassination of Jiang Li today is indeed full of doubts. Could it be that… he is really transformed by someone else?” The muscular man with a black face who had never spoken suddenly walked up to the tall old man and said in a low voice.

The tall old man hesitated for a while!

He did think of this, but as the guardian cultivators of the emperor of Jiang Kingdom, he naturally did not want to doubt his own people because of the words from an outsider.

“There is some truth to what senior said, but junior is hard to believe that Jiang Li is an evil cultivator just a few words of yours. If the ancestors of our family put the blame on me, I can’t bear the responsibility.” The tall old man said slowly, deliberately saying the words “ancestors in the family” a little louder.

The young woman and the young man with blond hair looked at the tall old man in surprise, then they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Ming’s face.

Liu Ming frowned. He had released Divine Thought long ago, but he found that in the hexagonal palace, Jiang Kingdom Emperor was trembling slightly. His demeanor seemed to be the same as that of an ordinary mortal. There wasn’t any spiritual power fluctuation at all.

If he hadn’t locked this person with Hell Soul Search, he almost thought he made a mistake.

The illusion technique of Thousand Illusion Demon was really exquisite, otherwise he couldn’t still be free in the Middle Sky Continent after committing so many evil deeds!

“Hehe. I’ve said what I wanted to say. If your ancestors put the blame on you, just find me at the Taiqing Sect.” Liu Ming said so.

As soon as he spoke, a tyrannical spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from his body, hitting the 4 of them.

They were instantly blown back by a huge force. They were all bleeding from their mouths. They looked at Liu Ming with a horrified gaze.

The tall old man had the highest cultivation base, but the horror on his face was the deepest.

The Jiang Family was a royal family of a kingdom as well as a cultivator family. The supply of resources was far more comparable to that of ordinary casual cultivators. There were quite a few cultivators in the Crystallization Period in the family. There were also several Real Pellet State cultivators, and the ancestor of the Jiang Family was even a Real Pellet State later stage powerhouse.

In this way, the vision and knowledge of the tall old man will naturally not be much worse. Only then can I better appreciate the strength of the Taiqing Sect disciples in front of me, and they are even stronger than the real Pellet State elders of the Jiang family.

“We are powerless to stop senior’s might. But if I remember correctly, the 4 ancient sects had once set rules in the early years that the cultivators above the Crystallization Period are not allowed to interfere with the order of the mortal world unless there are special circumstances. If it turns out that Jiang Li is just a mortal, I hope senior will give an explanation to our Jiang Family.” Although the tall old man was a little scared, he still said in a low voice.

Liu Ming didn’t seem to hear the threat of the tall old man. He charged toward the hexagonal palace with a trail of afterimages.

“Bang!“

In just 1 second, the figure smashed through the door and flew straight in.

The tall old man watched Liu Ming disappeared in front of his eyes with his eyes twitching a few times, and the other 3 looked at each other without speaking.

The moment Liu Ming broke into the palace, a looming shadow escaped from the palace from behind. He galloped away into the distance silently without releasing any spiritual fluctuations.

“Hmph, want to run now? It’s too late!”

Liu Ming smashed through the wall on the other side of the palace and chased after him.

With such a big movement, the tall old man and several people immediately noticed that something was wrong, and all of them flew into the palace in shock.

In the bedroom, Jiang Li was gone. Not far from the entrance, 2 palace maids were lying on the ground unconsciously. The fruit and snack trays in their hands were scattered on the ground.

On the other side, a big hole appeared in the wall. The cold wind from the hole made the curtain in the room flutter.

“Could it be that what the Taiqing Sect person said is true, Jiang Li he…” The young woman muttered.

The tall old man’s complexion was even more pale.

In the low sky more than 10km away, the black figure in front had just escaped 600 meters, then an intense yellow light burst out from the ground. Countless rubbles were launched toward the black figures.

At the same time, Xie’er emerged from the rubbles, and she had transformed into the scorpion form. The tail hook blurred and launched dense black lines at the black figure.

Thousand Illusion Demon roared in resentment. In the previous fight, he had tasted the poison of the Bone Scorpion’s tail hook, so he didn’t dare to be careless. A pitch-black bone flag about a foot in size was transfigured before him.

The bone flags grew larger, and it became 3 meters in size. There was a ferocious skull pattern embroidered on it. The demonic qi was dense. It was a demonic spiritual weapon of the magic weapon prototype.

Thousand Illusion Demon had just released the bone flag, and the rubbles had already arrived.

A burst of rattling sound came!

The rubbles only caused the bone flag to flicker slightly in black light, then the rubbles were all reflected.

Immediately afterward, the dense black lines struck the bone flag, causing it to tremble a few times. The bone flag was still intact.

Xie’er was just a spiritual pet of the Crystallization Period later stage after all. Even if she mutated several times, there was still a big gap compared to the Real Pellet State cultivator. Besides, her tail hook was not known for strength, so it was less effective against defensive spiritual weapons.

However, after Xie’er stopped him for a while, Liu Ming had already caught up.

A dragon roar sounded!

A black mist dragon of a dozen meters pounced forward at lightning speed.

“Damn it!”

Thousand Illusion Demon groaned angrily, and he launched a few symbols with both hands.

The skull pattern on the bone flag revealed a strange light. The eyes were even releasing 2 green light beams.

A loud roar!

The skull pattern rushed out of the bone flag with physical entity. With a flash of green light, it suddenly turned into the size of a house and resisted the black mist dragon.

For a time, dull rumbling sounds continued to come out!

At the same time, Thousand Illusion Demon changed gesture, and a black whirlwind of 30 meters high flew out from the bone flag. It spread in all directions, turning the surrounding rubbles into powder.

Bone Scorpion was also swept up by this black whirlwind. Countless gravels hit her body one after another, making a crackling sound. She rolled several times in the air, and she was thrown out far away.

As soon as the whirlwind receded, Thousand Illusion Demon emerged with a bone flag in his hand. At this moment, he had transformed into a long-faced man, but he had no intention of killing Bone Scorpion. Instead, he flickered and ran away again.

But at this moment, there was a loud impact!

A 3 meter black mist tiger came behind him.

The fist shadow came so fast that it didn’t give Thousand Illusion Demon any time to dodge.

He could only scream and crossed the bone flag before him. A large amount of black gas instantly gushed out and defended him.

With a muffled sound, the black qi was also scattered by the fist shadow, then it slammed heavily on the bone flag.

Thousand Illusion Demon only felt a huge force coming through the bone flag. He was knocked back 30 meters away.

At this moment, Liu Ming communicated with Bone Scorpion through his mind.

“Master, I’m fine. I was careless just now.” Xie’er’s clear voice seemed to contain a hint of anger as if she was very embarrassed by her poor performance.

Fortunately, her defense was not low and Liu Ming gave him several jingang bone tempering pills, which hardened her carapace, so she was not seriously injured.

Only then did Liu Ming feel relieved. He glanced at Thousand Illusion Demon who had finally regained his stability.

“Mr. Liu, there is no deep hatred between you and me. We are just in different positions. You hunt me down must be for the reward of your sect right? I can give you enough compensation for letting me go, what do you think?” Thousand Illusion Demon’s face was extremely pale, and his eyes were full of fear when looking at Liu Ming, but he still forced a smile.

Liu Ming’s strength was far beyond his expectations. After the attack just now, he felt that he was no match for him. He only hoped to move the other party with the benefits so that he could save his own life.

Hearing this, Liu Ming sneered. He didn’t bother listening to his nonsense as he launched a punch.

“Don’t sir want the control method of the Purdue Great Array? This ancient array is extremely powerful. Although sir already has the disk array and formation flags, you can’t unleash all its power. As long as you let me go, I can tell you the way to unleash its full power.” Thousand Illusion Demon’s expression changed, and he said anxiously.

Hearing this, Liu Ming felt a little moved in his heart. He hesitated and slowed down his action.
