Even though Lin An had turned into a monkey demon, the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword was still strapped to his waist, and he realized it would be too out of place.
He immediately stored the sword into the success rate system’s storage space and took out a golden metal rod that he had won from the lottery.
He then played around with his new weapon and walked towards the barrier array in front of him with satisfaction.
However, he didn’t expect that just as he approached the spell formation, the space in front of him would suddenly distort, and violent spiritual energy would surge towards him.
The barrier appeared as if it had turned into a bloody mouth, and it instantly enveloped Lin An with immense killing intent.
However, Lin An didn’t panic. In the next moment, the black and white ashen flames suddenly surged out of his body and surrounded him.
The flames transformed into a lotus flower that seemed to pierce through the void and they began to bloom.
However, in the blink of an eye, the black and white ashen flames were devoured by the demonic barrier formation.
To Lin An’s surprise, a blazing ray of light suddenly burst out from within the formation, and it seemed as if a golden sun had descended upon the world!
Boom!
In an instant, a deafening explosion reverberated in all directions.
The entire ground shook violently, and vicious energy tore apart the formation, causing ripples in the air as the energy spread out.
The scene happened to fall into the eyes of the two demonesses in the forest behind Lin An, and they were instantly dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a terrifying destructive power in their lives.
The elder demoness’s voice immediately rang out. “Hey monkey, who are you? Why did you blow up our protective spell formation?”
Lin An tidied his clothes and said with a faint smile, “Your attitude is too vile. These demons actually chased me away without saying a word. I’m here to witness the lightning tribulation sacrifice.”
The two demonesses’ expressions froze as they looked at the mountain protection spell formation.
Lin An had already reduced the formation to ruins, and white smoke was rising everywhere. It was a tragic sight, and there were even a few golden core stage demon corpses lying on the ground.
The demonesses instantly wondered which of the two parties, between Lin An and the dead demons on the ground, had been more unpleasant?
The ancient spell formation had been passed down for many years, but it was now destroyed. To make the situation more perplexing, the monkey demon had destroyed the formation in one move.
The demonesses felt that the monkey demon’s strength was truly terrifying.
“Let’s go. Since I’m not welcome here, then take me to your place,” Lin An said to the two demonesses in the forest.
“Or do you guys not welcome me as well?”
Lin An deliberately emphasized every word, and his point was that, if the demonesses didn’t welcome him, then they would suffer the same fate as the dead demons.
Hearing the threat from Lin An, the two demon witches didn’t want to offend such a terrifying monkey demon, so they led him to another camp.
Under the guidance of the two demonesses, Lin An entered a pitch-black cave and circled around for a long time.
It was a very complicated place, and there were many tunnels interconnected on the inside. Some led to alternative paths, while others were dead ends. It was simply an underground maze.
Soon, after they had walked through several tunnels in the cave, they vaguely saw a dim light in front of them, and Lin An immediately knew that the exit was not far away.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a faint swishing sound cut through the air!
In an instant, a foreign object headed towards one of the demon witches.
It was a silver needle, and it had appeared out of thin air. Lin An immediately saw that the needle was headed directly toward the demon witch’s snow-white neck.
However, the two demonesses actually hadn’t noticed it at all!
“Be careful!”
Lin An hurriedly alerted the demoness, and without hesitation, he waved the golden metal rod in his hand.
Clang!
A set of sparks suddenly flew out in the pitch-black cave. Lin An struck the silver needle, and it stuck into the stone wall nearby.
At the same time, five masked nascent soul stage assassins, who were dressed in long black robes, charged out and surrounded Lin An and the other two demon witches at the entrance of the narrow cave.
Lin An looked at the attackers and realized that they were familiar!
Hadn’t the two women he had escorted back to the Imperial City been chased by cultivators who had been dressed in similar outfits?
“Haha, it’s said that the women of the demon race are all extremely beautiful, and naturally charming. Their eyes and smiles can seduce one’s soul. Seeing them today, they really live up to their reputation.”
“It’s a good time to capture them and dote on them!”
“This monkey demon is really quick-witted. If it wasn’t for him, my death-seeking flying needle would have already taken your life.”
“Fortunately, he’s only in the golden core stage. Otherwise, with his off-the-charts spiritual power, today’s mission might have failed because of him!”
One demoness turned around and said to Lin An with a serious expression, “Don’t be careless! They’re the elite assassins of the Heavenly Police. They’ve learned the art of killing since they were young. Even if I were to face the weakest of them, I can’t guarantee victory!”
One of the demonesses was at the golden core stage, while the demoness that had cautioned Lin An was at the nascent soul stage.
Lin An waved his hand and retorted, “Are they very strong? I only killed a dozen of them a while ago, and they were just so-so!”
When they heard the monkey demon’s arrogant words, the two demonesses were instantly stunned.
The five assassins also heard the mocking words, and their killing intent instantly filled the air.
“The dozens of our comrades who lost their lives in the south last time were related to you?”
Without waiting for Lin An’s response, an icy glint flashed across the eyes of the five assassins.
They raised the blood-red blades in their hands, which were as thin as cicada wings, and charged towards Lin An and the two demonesses.
The assassins’ speed was extremely fast, and their movements were extremely strange, making it difficult for the naked eye to follow their moves.
The golden core demon witch was no match for them at all, so her nascent soul stage counterpart hurriedly protected her behind her back.
However, one assassin suddenly emerged from the void, and his blood-red, ice-cold short blade directly slashed towards the golden core demon witch’s neck.
Fortunately, in the next instant, a red light suddenly flashed in front of the assassin’s face. His eyes instantly widened, and he let out a faint gasp as his head was decapitated from his neck.
The remaining four assassins were stupefied on the spot, and they looked at Lin An with incomparable shock.
The golden core demon witch had narrowly escaped death. Her face was deathly pale, but like the nascent soul demon witch, her expression instantly changed to that of astonishment.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained thirty-nine lucky draw coins.]
“Kill the monkey first!”
One of the assassins shouted in a deep voice and joined forces with the other three assassins to attack Lin An.
They could sense that Lin An, who was at the peak of the golden core stage, was obviously more dangerous than the nascent soul demon witch.
Pfft!
With the speed of the Lightning Dharma Body and the cloudless spell, the opponents couldn’t keep up with Lin An.
He suddenly beheaded a second assassin, who was at the eighth level of the nascent soul stage. Instantly fresh blood sprayed all over the walls of the cave.
“What!”
Three loud exclamations came from the side at the same time.
The three assassins couldn’t hide their distress. They abruptly stopped attacking and hurriedly retreated away from Lin An, but their faces were still filled with shock.
The golden core stage monkey demon had just killed an eighth level nascent soul stage assassin with one strike. How was that possible?
The two demon witches were also stunned.
They hadn’t expected that Lin An could gain such an overwhelming advantage in a lopsided battle against four nascent soul stage expert cultivators.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained forty-one lucky draw coins!]
The remaining three assassins were dumbfounded. After they had witnessed Lin An’s bizarre combat strength, they immediately chose to retreat.
“We can’t continue. This monkey isn’t simple!”
“Mission failed. We retreat!”
“Ah!”
Even though they had conceded defeat, Lin An had no intention of letting them go. The three assassins were as good as dead!
