The mantis catches the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Ming He and his crew had no clue that their actions were all being monitored by Xiao Yang.
And Xiao Yang couldn’t help but admire that Thousand-Faced Illusion Demon for turning into Ling Daochen’s form, successfully leading Transmission Elder Cang Xiao and a bunch of Qingyang Sword Sect disciples to the cave entrance.
“It’s Junior Sister…”
Qin Fei pretended to be shocked, pointing loudly at Jiang Ting, who was tied to the pillar inside the cave.
“Junior Sister is indeed locked up here.”
Everyone was both astonished and furious.
“Don’t act rashly!”
Transmission Elder shouted loudly.
At that point, everyone summoned their flying swords.
In an instant, the cave entrance was electrified with sword qi, and sword light flickered.
“Junior Sister…”
Qin Fei pretended to be overly excited and was about to dash forward.
“Junior Brother, don’t go…”
Zheng Fan quickly grabbed Qin Fei.
“Remnants of the Demon Sect, why don’t you hand over the person?”
The Transmission Elder glared at Ming He and Yin Yue, who emerged from the cave, and bellowed.
“Cang Xiao, who do you think you are? You call for me to release her, and I will?”
Ming He scoffed.
“Hand her over, and I’ll leave you with a complete corpse.”
The Transmission Elder glared fiercely at Ming He through gritted teeth.
“Haha, you lot are already at death’s door, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me. Truly lacking self-awareness.”
Ming He couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“You lot are the ones at death’s door.”
As he spoke, the Transmission Elder performed a traditional salute to the imposter Ling Daochen. “Please, Master Uncle, exterminate the demons!”
Ling Daochen was a pinnacle expert of the Divine Martial Realm.
Otherwise, would the Transmission Elder really lead a group of Qingyang Sword Sect disciples into this perilous Ghost Mist Gorge at night, knowing full well the dangers?
But the Transmission Elder never imagined his Master Uncle was a fake.
Who would have thought someone would impersonate Ling Daochen?
Xiao Yang, observing from the shadows, couldn’t help but shake his head in exasperation.
Didn’t anyone notice that this Ling Daochen was a bit off?
“Exterminate the demons?”
At this moment, the imposter Ling Daochen turned to look at the Transmission Elder and suddenly flashed a grin.
“Huh?”
The Transmission Elder froze.
The next moment, the imposter Ling Daochen slapped him hard.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the Transmission Elder was sent flying and crashed heavily against a boulder at the cave entrance, rolling down to the ground.
“Wow!”
The Transmission Elder coughed up blood and collapsed.
“Senior Elder…”
Everyone gasped in shock at what they saw.
“Master Uncle, have you lost your mind?”
Lei Renjie shouted angrily at the imposter Ling Daochen.
“Haha…”
The imposter Ling Daochen burst out laughing.
“He isn’t your Master Uncle; he’s a fake.”
The Transmission Elder struggled to sit up from the ground, glaring at the imposter Ling Daochen as he gritted his teeth.
“What?”
Everyone stared at the imposter Ling Daochen in disbelief.
“Now you realize, it’s too late!”
As he said this, the imposter shook, and Ling Daochen vanished, revealing a figure shrouded in demon qi standing before them.
“Remnants of the Demon Sect?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, Ye Qingyao, Yun Qianxue, and the others could hardly believe that their Master Uncle Ling Daochen was actually just a Demon Sect remnant in disguise.
“You’re impressive!”
Lin Wangchuan looked curiously at the demon figure in front of him.
He found the illusion techniques of these Demon Sect remnants quite fascinating.
But Song Qiang had already released his flying sword, piercing towards the guy impersonating Ling Daochen.
“Too unaware of danger!”
The Thousand-Faced Illusion Demon waved his sleeve.
Song Qiang’s flying sword was sent flying off course.
“Impressive!”
Song Qiang pulled back his flying sword.
“You’ve fallen into the trap, run!”
The Transmission Elder shouted urgently to everyone.
Confused, everyone was in a panic.
“You can’t escape!”
Ming He grinned maliciously, stepping forward and coldly surveying everyone.
“Run!”
The Transmission Elder urged anxiously.
Everyone prepared to fly away on their swords.
“Array, activate!”
Ming He sneered, triggering the Twelve Heavenly Demon Extermination Array hidden underground.
Twelve Heavenly Demon banners burst forth from the ground, surrounding everyone.
Countless demonic patterns manifested under their feet, intertwining to form a massive array diagram.
“Buzz!”
The array’s power surged forth.
The Twelve Heavenly Demon Extermination Array trapped everyone inside.
“This…”
The Transmission Elder’s face turned pale with fright.
Lei Renjie, Song Qiang, Li Yunhu, and the others, overwhelmed with panic, controlled their flying swords and struck at the demonic banners.
But their flying swords couldn’t even touch the banners.
As the flying swords approached the banners, they were repelled by an invisible force.
“Haha… stop struggling, you’re not getting out.”
Ming He laughed triumphantly.
He hadn’t expected his plan to succeed so easily.
Everything was going too smoothly.
“It’s the Twelve Heavenly Demon Extermination Array…”
The Transmission Elder, sitting on the ground, felt despair wash over him.
This array was the core formation of the Demon Sect, and even if he hadn’t been attacked by the imposter Ling Daochen, he wouldn’t be able to break this demonic formation.
This time, they were done for.
“Surrender, and you can avoid physical pain.”
Yin Yue said coldly.
“Ask us to surrender to you despicable and shameless Demon Sect remnants? In your dreams!”
Lei Renjie roared, desperately striking out.
Countless electric sword lights burst from Lei Renjie, slashing towards Ming He with a wave of destructive energy.
“Oh!”
Ming He shook his head in resignation, then waved his hand.
Countless electric sword lights instantly dissipated into the void.
“Slap!”
Lei Renjie screamed as he was struck across the face by Ming He, sending him tumbling aside.
Li Yunhu, Lin Wangchuan, and the others went full force.
Brilliant sword lights tore through the void, shooting towards Ming He.
Ming He utilized the array’s power for himself.
He waved his hand casually, knocking all the incoming sword lights away effortlessly.
“Stay down!”
Ming He reached out his right hand, pressing down.
“Boom!”
A terrifying demonic force erupted, and a massive demonic hand appeared in the void, directly crushing down towards everyone.
The overwhelming pressure fell from above.
Li Yunhu, Lei Renjie, and the others couldn’t withstand this force.
Everyone was forced to the ground.
Ming He felt an inexplicable thrill.
It was his first opportunity to control this array.
Suddenly, shadows surged out around the array.
They were none other than Ming He’s subordinates.
These Demon Sect remnants charged into the array, pulling out ropes to bind everyone tightly.
The power of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Extermination Array had no effect on these Demon Sect remnants whatsoever.
In just a moment, the entire Qingyang Sword Sect had been wiped out.
This nearly made the Transmission Elder, seated on the ground, spit blood from anger.
However, he too did not escape the fate of being tied up.
Ming He directly bound everyone up and tossed them into the cave, leaving them as company for Junior Sister Jiang Ting.
“Oh!”
Xiao Yang, witnessing this scene from the shadows, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Is this how the entire army gets annihilated?
What a disgrace!
Such a disgrace!
“Haha…”
Ming He laughed triumphantly.
“Wow!”
The Transmission Elder was so furious he spat out a mouthful of blood that flew three feet away.
