Chapter 171: Slaying Demons with a Sword

At this moment, the number of demons and monsters above level ten gathered around the palace has exceeded two hundred, and is even close to two hundred and fifty.

Each of these demons and monsters above level ten is comparable to a human Qi Refining Master, or even stronger than a Qi Refining Master of the same level.

To put it bluntly, with the strength of these monsters and demons, they are fully capable of fighting against hundreds of masters of the Daning Dynasty, even if the number of masters on the Daning side is several times that of theirs.

However, demons and monsters are inherently more powerful than human practitioners of the same level, and they have an even greater advantage over level 20 great lords.

In addition to these monsters above level ten, there are many monsters below level ten that have sneaked in and gathered around the palace.

For example, Grandma Black Crow brought tens of thousands of black crows, many of which were level one or above monsters, hiding in the underground sewers, waiting for Grandma Black Crow's orders.

There are also dog demons from the three-headed dog demon clan, snake demons led by the eight-headed snake demon, and thousands of female ghosts led by the picture of the woman in the well... They are fully prepared and ready to go, just waiting for the midnight to arrive.

At this moment, the inner palace seemed to be the same as usual in the eyes of many demons and monsters.

There were guards standing everywhere, palace maids coming and going, eunuchs rushing around...there didn't seem to be anything unusual, which made the demons and monsters feel much more relieved.

However, they did not know that this was all an illusion created by Lu Changjing. Many people in the palace were already prepared to hide, and some elite troops were also ready to fight.

While the demons and monsters were preparing for battle, the Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, and Imperial Guards in the palace were also not idle.

"kill!"

As the midnight bell rang, accompanied by the shrill voice of Grandma Black Crow, more than two hundred demons and monsters above level ten, along with tens of thousands of demons and monsters below level ten, rushed towards the palace.

"Leave no one alive, kill them all."

"Damn the Ning royal family, they will pay the price this time."

"My children, the time has come to drink human blood."

……

In just a few dozen breaths, all the monsters above level ten and those below level ten rushed into the palace.

"launch!"

When Lu Changjing's voice sounded, Ning Yuzhi immediately led dozens of spiritual formation masters in the palace and activated the Zhoutian Xingdou formation in this area.

Even if it is impossible to exert its full power, it can still effectively trap and suppress these monsters. Those low-level monsters are directly pinned to the ground and unable to move.

"Yan..."

As his soul fluctuated, he had already discovered the locations of the demons and monsters above level ten, especially with the assistance of the Zhoutian Star Array to guide the locations, basically nothing was missed.

"God-killing calamity!"

The attack he made was using the already accomplished Divine Tribulation, with the power of his soul forming a sword, a knife, a hammer... and he killed many demons and monsters above level ten.

"Chi chi chi chi chi chi..."

These spiritual weapons were unstoppable and easily broke through the mental defenses of these demon kings, monster kings, ghost kings and monster kings, completely strangling their three souls and seven spirits.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of demons and monsters above level ten were killed by the Divine Tribulation, which frightened the rest of the demons and monsters so much that they all hid away and dared not fight with Lu Changjing.

At this moment, Lu Changjing did not use his identity as an emperor to hunt monsters and demons, but wore a human skin mask. Now is not the time to expose himself, he always has to keep some cards in his pocket.

Looking at the monsters and demons fleeing in panic, Lu Changjing sneered and slashed out with the Mountain Spirit Sword. In an instant, he slashed eighty times and killed dozens of monsters and demons above level ten again.

If these monsters and demons had not been dispersed, more people would have been killed by this one strike.

He has practiced the Imperial Sword Technique to the eighteenth level, and can slash out eighty times in an instant, and each sword has fifty percent of Lu Changjing's attack power.

Eighty swords converged at one point, almost increasing his destructive power by forty times. "We've been fooled. The Daning royal family was well prepared."

"Who leaked the secret? What should we do now?"

"Who is that person? An old monster from the royal family? He's too powerful."

……

These demons and monsters also realized that they were ambushed by the Daning royal family. Otherwise, the Zhoutian Xingdou formation would not have been activated so timely. It was activated exactly when they all entered the palace, which could be said to be exactly the same.

Even though they knew they were tricked, many demons and monsters still rushed in fearlessly. In their opinion, even if they were discovered, they could still slaughter the entire palace with their absolute strength.

But Lu Changjing, with his sword in hand, dispelled all their fantasies. With one secret technique, dozens of demon kings, ghost kings, and monster kings died one after another. With another slash of his sword, dozens more demon kings, ghost kings... died.

Even a grandmaster should not have such strong power. Could it be that this person has entered the demigod level? Otherwise, how could he have such powerful strength?

"Stop him!"

Seeing that all the demons and monsters were stopped by Lu Changjing, the leading demon kings could no longer sit still.

The Black Crow Grandma screamed and rushed towards Lu Changjing with tens of thousands of black crows.

"Hiss..."

The Yamata snake demon leaped a hundred meters, and its body alone was several dozen meters long. It pounced heavily on Lu Changjing.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."

In the picture of female ghosts in the well, one by one, female ghosts with disheveled hair crawled out of the well in the painting and rushed towards Lu Changjing with their fangs and claws bared.

The headless snow girl turned her back to Lu Changjing and appeared in front of him in an instant as if she had teleported.

……

Facing the overwhelming number of demons and monsters, Lu Changjing remained calm and slowly slashed out with the Mountain Spirit Sword in his hand.

"Imperial Sword Technique!"

In an instant, eighty sword lights merged with the eight sun energies, like eighty bright little suns, covering all the monsters and demons in front of them.

"Chichichi..."

Wherever the knife flashed, these monsters and demons were easily chopped into pieces as if they were made of tofu.

"what……"

The Black Crow Grandma screamed and was engulfed by dozens of sword lights. She was killed instantly, and all the Black Crow monsters were also annihilated in the dazzling sword lights.

"Hiss..."

The Yamata no Snake screamed terrifyingly and dodged, but it was too late. Its eight heads were chopped off and it was deader than dead.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

However, the female ghosts in the well reacted very quickly. Thousands of female ghosts crawling towards Lu Changjing saw the Black Crow Grandma and the Eight-Headed Snake Demon being killed in an instant, and they trembled with fear and crawled backwards towards the well.

But the sword light followed closely behind. The sword light that integrated the eight yang energies was simply the nemesis of these female ghosts.

With just a ray of light, the female ghosts were burned to a crisp and soon fell all over the ground. The map of the well was also burned beyond recognition.
