Chapter Twenty-Five: The Heavenly Monarch
Guards take on this kind of work, Wu Cangni is no stranger, and he has often been asked to protect dignitaries and nobles before, and on his last trip to the imperial capital, he was even called by Long Xian'er to serve as Mrs. Biqu's guard, which became a prop.
After being promoted to the Heavenly Rank, the perception range and ability have been greatly improved, even if you don't have to follow with you, what monitoring is clear, therefore, Wu Cangni's guardianship of Sima Bingxin is basically just a few hundred meters away, just staring at people from a distance.
But the development of things was somewhat unexpected, because Shisu soon brought instructions from the Holy Maiden and invited Yijun to go for a while.
When Wu Cangni met the saintess, Sima Bingxin immediately said that considering the danger of the soldiers, his own safety was not guaranteed, so he hoped that Ni Cangyi Jun would be personally protected, anyway, he had already said before that he would risk his life to protect the safety of the saint, but now it is just a simple personal protection, there should be no difficulty?
"This ...... Naturally, everything is according to the orders of the Holy Empress. β
While agreeing, Wu Cangni thought to herself that if she was really a man, she would definitely be talking while picking her nostrils now, and she would dig hard.
...... This girl, during the day, she still said that she was overlord and domineering to protect her body, and she was not afraid of any demon and immortal, but it was only half a day, and she said that she was afraid that there was a problem with safety and that she needed to be guarded, who would believe it?
...... Ninety out of nine, it is planned to kill one of the target enemies before the big war, anyway, she has already expressed her allegiance to the saint, in addition to not directly ordering herself to commit suicide, even if she treats herself as a sandbag, she can't have an opinion, she really has no fear.
Thinking of his next tragic mission, the corners of Wu Cangni's mouth twitched slightly, although he wanted to repair the relationship, he really didn't expect that he would be a sandbag.
And this terrible prediction, unfortunately, in the next process, Bing Xin simply practiced all the techniques recorded in the murder encyclopedia, whether it was poisoning, setting up ambushes, or setting up organs, everything came, and they all found seemingly legitimate reasons.
"This Holy Maiden doesn't know much about the Heavenly Order, Ni Cangyi Jun, please cooperate with me to do some tests, so that I can understand the mysteries of the Heavenly Order. β
"There's no problem, but those demon devouring spiders that just ambushed me are still a little less toxic, and they seem to be a little weak enough to be used as a test, so it is recommended to change to a stronger one. β
Wu Cangni said: "And this cup of Qibao wine...... It's a type that is non-toxic on the surface and only emits toxins after mixing, isn't it? β
Calmly drank the poisonous wine, and in the blink of an eye, the poison was decomposed and dispersed outside the body, leaving no point behind, Wu Cangni looked indifferent, and did not take these challenges seriously at all.
...... If it's the layout of her own captain, it's okay, but this girl doesn't understand what the Heavenly Rank is at all, she doesn't know how the Heavenly Rank is powerful, and how can she set up a killing game that threatens the Heavenly Rank?
...... In the past few years, I was busy dealing with military affairs and the layout of the northwest, and I didn't have time to accompany the little girl to mess around......
Wu Cangni thought so, but it didn't take long for her to realize that her thoughts were too naΓ―ve......
"Yijun, you are strong, I hope you will come out and do a favor and assist this saintess in some tests. β
Sima Bingxin asked the demon clan to circle a colosseum with a large area, where a large number of demon beasts were prepared, all of them were between the beast clan and the demon clan, although they had strong strength, and some even had huge bodies, hundreds of meters and miles long, which could resist the thunder and fire, but there was no intelligent existence.
The demon clan usually goes to war, and it will also capture and drive away these demon beasts, and use them as cannon fodder and meat shields, although this kind of demon beasts are despised by the demon clan because of the lack of intelligence, but the power and ability are really not simple, and even because of the lack of acquired thinking, everything is purely instinctive, and it is closer to the avenue, and when the power of heaven and earth is called, it is more ferocious than the demon clan that should theoretically be more "high".
However, in the final analysis, that's just the case, if it is really strong like that, it will not be captured and used as cannon fodder, and it is even more foolish to use these things against the Heavenly Order.
Wu Cangni went down the field without fear, without making a move, purely relying on the aura, he let the three-headed eight-pointed deer monster that was released explode his body, shattered his bones, and then looked at Sima Bingxin indifferently, "Qiqi Holy Maiden, the combat power of these demon beasts has been tested and is vulnerable!"
"Really?"
Sima Bingxin said calmly: "Try the next ones." β
Endless demon beasts, being connected and released, Wu Cangni didn't feel anything at first, demon beasts are just demon beasts after all, even if they are not rational, close to the origin of the Dao, they can exert strong power, but pure power is not equal to combat power, it must be intelligently controlled, the power is exerted accurately, and the most appropriate way to fire is threatening, and those demon beasts are ...... You can't do that at all.
With the blessing of heaven-level power, Wu Cangni can kill this group of beasts without actually making a move, that is, limiting his strength to the ground level, choosing a weapon at will, and slaughtering these demon beasts like slaughtering dogs.
This...... How can it be so easy? Heaven Rank people have their own world in their bodies, especially when dealing with objects that have not reached the Heaven Rank, they have an advantage, and they are not afraid of any war of attrition at all!
The first dozen or so battles were indeed settled like this, but as the number of battles increased, Wu Cangni found that the changes in the demon beasts increased and began to be targeted, although they were not so strong, they gave birth to a feeling of "being dealt with".
The released demon beasts use some strange means, either spinning silk, or issuing mental interference, trying to weaken their direct deterrence against them, so that their old skills can be repeated to no avail, and they must go further in order to effectively kill.
And when he did this, although he easily killed this batch of demon beasts, the next batch of demon beasts that were released made more progress on the basis of the previous batch, spitting out sticky silk, or highly sticky saliva, body fluids, and even corrosive liquids to restrain his actions and increase the difficulty of his extermination.
Just wiped out seven or eight batches of demon beasts in a row, and noticed that the time for each killing was slightly longer than the last time, and when these demon beasts were killing more and more, Wu Cangni suddenly realized that the other party's goal was not to consume, but to seriously want to defeat himself.
Those demon beasts, the attack is very ferocious, almost killing with their lives, this kind of suicide attack is not easy to deal with, and those strange obstacles make Wu Cangni overwhelmed.
Annoyance, will accumulate little by little, and eventually affect the state, not to mention the changes in these demon beasts, obviously, although each batch of demon beasts that come up, they are not the same, but they have a variety of skills, there are interference, there are obstacles, there are disintegration of the protective power, there are explosions, and gradually form pressure on themselves.
It wasn't until he punched out and blasted a hundred-legged sea Jiao that he confirmed that this sea Jiao was the same kind as the one he had fought before, but with different attributes, and it not only spewed out poisonous fire, but also the effect of the protective power to disintegrate, that he had an epiphany.
...... These monsters are evolving!
Incomparably absurd feeling, Wu Cangni couldn't believe his own judgment for a while, and he knew about evolution, but the so-called evolution did not happen overnight, it was the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, how could it be that the last batch was killed by himself, and the next batch was immediately targeted for evolution, and then killed?
Not to mention that it's too late to evolve, even if someone is in charge of transformation over there, it is impossible to have this speed, as far as I know, Wen Quzhi and Jiulong Village are not capable of this!
Suddenly, Wu Cangni thought of a thought that shocked him.
...... Not much is known among the demons, but according to Zhu Yu and Zi Su, the saint has an extraordinary ability to enter the sainthood, called "awakening", to help the demon clan develop its potential, as long as the potential exists, it can turn decay into magic, Zhu Yu is relying on the help of the saint, the bloodline is activated, and it is slowly promoted to a half-step heavenly level.
...... Could it be that Bing Xin not only obtained the appearance and strength of the Holy Maiden, but also obtained the talent ability?
...... This ability is too terrifying!
Wu Cangni's heart moved, and she didn't see Sima Bingxin's figure around, so she searched and locked her breath outside the field, and when she shouted angrily, the power of the dragon elephant exploded, easily blasting several sickle tigers spraying poisonous fire, and then rushed towards Sima Bingxin's breath.
It was a wooden shed, surrounded by a tight shield, a demon will drive the demon beast into the wooden shed first, the demon beast entered the arena through the wooden shed, Wu Cangni came out of thin air, a turn of mind, the entire wooden shed was instantly silently decomposed, scattered, revealing the situation inside.
Sima Bingxin stood in front of several demon beasts, his eyes were slightly closed, his hands were spread flat, and his body was glowing with white light, and a group of horse-shaped demon beasts were in the range of white light, receiving the baptism of brilliance, some of their appearances gradually changed, and some ...... Although there was no difference in appearance, the aura became more and more violent, and the danger skyrocketed.
After Wu Cangni confirmed the situation, he was surprised.
...... It's really a saint's ability!
...... These monsters have indeed evolved, and moreover, they are still targeted evolution, the process is fast and short, and they have directly grown into a direction that is expected to contain and restrain themselves, and this skill is too rebellious, how did you do it?
...... No wonder the stinky girl dares to do it, it turns out that she has this confidence!
Wu Cangni hesitated for a moment, and suddenly noticed that one of the demon beasts in the white light seemed to be unusual, there was some energy lurking in it, moving slowly, and those energies ...... Let Wu Cangni feel in danger.
...... It doesn't seem to belong to the monsters themselves, they are injected from the outside and are latent ...... Could it be that someone wants to assassinate the Holy Maiden?
Realizing that it was not good, Wu Cangni hurriedly blasted out with a palm, but the action of this attack made the other demon beasts feel threatened, and in an instant, Wu Cangni was swallowed directly by a horse-shaped demon beast, opening its three-layer jagged mouth!
