Algernon Divine Branch’s experts possessed great power. Just Borgans alone was incredibly powerful. Dio had plotted against Yang Ling on the sly many times, and Yang Ling wanted to kill him without leaving any traces so that he wouldn’t bring trouble upon himself. Yang Ling pondered over this for a moment before coming up with an idea. He didn’t advance. Instead, he retreated and left quietly with the crowd. He left the main hall without leaving behind a trail.

After they walked into a remote corner, the Corpse Wizard King couldn’t bear stating his doubts. Instead, he questioned Yang Ling in a low voice, “Lord, don’t you plan to explore the Demon Hall in front of the Departed Spirit Road?”

“We will obviously go to the Demon Hall, but we still must take care of a very important matter before crossing the Departed Spirit Road.” Yang Ling summoned a group of Vampire Bats and asked them to disperse and scout the situation in the vicinity before saying coldly, “Most of Algernon Divine Branch’s experts have already entered the Demon Hall, and Dio only has a few Divine Duty Experts left with him. This a good opportunity, so how can we let it slip by?”

“That’s right,” the war-like Giant Ape King said. “Let’s kill that hateful guy, take out his Godhead, and crush his head with a rod.” He waved his large rod strongly. He had almost been killed by Dio several times, and he had a bellyful of anger because of it.

“Lord, Dio is in the main hall, so why did we go out?” the Corpse Wizard King said. He couldn’t understand this and was confused.

“Rodriguez, we must kill Dio,” Yang Ling said. “But if we leave any traces or if the numerous wanderers in the vicinity learn that it was us who killed him, it won’t be good for us.” He stopped for a moment before saying, “The Demon Palace doesn’t have anything other than a large number of flying demons. If a group of flying demons rush into the main hall, everyone will descend into panic, and we’ll get an opportunity to strike.”

“Hehehe, lord. Isn’t this too despicable?” the Corpse Wizard King laughed. He suddenly saw the light and understood Yang Ling’s intentions.

A large number of wanderers assembled in the main hall, and the flying demons had rushed over there several times, but to no avail. They could only give up on attacking and intercepting the crowd, which was why many people lowered their guard. If a large group of flying demons suddenly appeared in the main hall, most people would be surprised and would descend into chaos. Yang Ling and his group could take advantage of the chaos to ambush Dio and kill him without leaving any traces.

The flying demons weren’t able to rush into the main hall, which held many experts, but there were still innumerable flying demons outside intercepting lone wanderers. Yang Ling and his companions managed to quickly find the trails of a group of flying demons thanks to the Vampire Bats’ scouting. They restrained their auras and followed the demons quietly.

This was a small team of demons. It had a dozen or more demons with forks, including the team leader. They were roaring loudly and fighting over several wanderers’ corpses. They quickly tore open the corpses’ chests and devoured their Godheads and internal organs. Their mouths were drenched with blood, and it seemed like they had just ambushed several pitiful wanderers.

“Hahaha, there is so much fresh blood. We finally get to taste a delicacy today,” a demon said.

“Leader, there are so many humans in the hall. If we storm it, won’t we get to eat as much as we want?”

“Fool!” the demon leader said. “There are too many humans in the hall, and even a large team won’t be able to storm it. Rushing there isn’t any different than seeking death.”

…

The numerous flying demons were quite excited, and they devoured the delicacy in their hands as they discussed this spiritedly. They were unaware that danger closed in on them. The mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it!

“Binding Space!” Yang Ling sneaked over to the numerous flying demons and attacked without the least bit of hesitation. He cast the Binding Space Wizard Spell before pulling out the sharp Battle Soul Blade on his back. He swiftly attacked the demon leader. Meanwhile, the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and others quickly cast the Demon God Battle Formation and attacked quickly.

The Corpse Wizard King, who followed Yang Ling, closely attacked ahead of the others and quickly fused his Soul Energy with the crowd. He released sharp Death Ripples, while the Blood Angel Ophelia, the Giant Ape King, and others pounced at the enemies and carried out ferocious attacks.

Buzz!

A soft cry echoed out of the narrow side road, and it was accompanied by an intense murderous aura.

The demon leader’s mouth was drenched with blood as he devoured a heart. Yang Ling’s Battle Soul Blade stabbed the demon’s chest. He thrust the blade into the demon’s chest strongly before pulling it out and cutting him again. The Demon Leader sustained serious injuries, and blood gushed out of his chest.

As for the demons in the vicinity, they were startled. They were about to rush to the rescue, but the Corpse Wizard King’s Death Ripples reached them, and they instantly got a splitting headache. Soon after, they suffered the ferocious close-quarter attacks of Ophelia and the Giant Ape King, and collapsed.

The dozen demons were caught off guard, and their power and speed were greatly weakened by Yang Ling’s Binding Space Spell. Their souls also suffered heavy damage due to the Corpse Wizard King’s Death Ripples. They weren’t a match for Ophelia, the Giant Ape King, and others, who cast the Demon God Battle Formation.

“Soul Explosion!”

Yang Ling punched the demon leader’s ribs before casting a Soul Explosion at the demon’s soul. The demon leader was heavily injured, and his mind was muddled. Yang Ling took advantage of this to read the Wizard Mantra in silence and take out a drop of Blood Essence. He tapped the demon’s forehead softly. He assumed that he could quickly tame a demon with a High-Level Deity’s power, but he didn’t manage to succeed, even after trying this several times in a row.

“Huh? Soul Restriction Spell?” Yang Ling cried in surprise. He discovered that there was mysterious energy in the depths of the demon leader’s brain that protected his soul, and it seemed like a Soul Restriction Spell. Nothing could pass through it, and its Energy Ripples were similar to the Departed Spirit Road and the strange Departed Spirit Magical Formation Spell. It was also similar to the Soul Magical Formation Spell in Ophelia’s brain, which had previously sealed her memory.

“Lord, look at me,” the Corpse Wizard King said. He held the Death Horn and stood next to a dead flying demon. After he muttered several words, the dead demon stood up. In the beginning, the demon was shaking, but after he walked around, his movements turned more agile, and if it wasn’t for the deadly wound on his chest, one wouldn’t have been able to discern that he was an Undead.

Undead Summon was the Death Horn’s second spell after Death Ripples. This spell finally showed its great power in front of the crowd. This spell could quickly turn dead experts into powerful High-Level Undead. Their power wouldn’t be any less than what it had been when they were alive. In fact, their skill in certain aspects would even be higher. This spell was stronger than ordinary Undead Spells by manyfold.

“Pretty good, Rodriguez,” Yang Ling said. “Kill all of them and turn them into a part of your Undead Army.” Yang Ling looked at the Undead, who were more agile than the puppets crafted by him, before nodding with satisfaction. Soon after, a group of strange flying demons was added to the crowd’s team.

The crowd depended upon the Vampire Bats’ gift in darkness to quickly find the trail of another group of flying demons. They followed a set pattern and quickly finished the battle. The Corpse Wizard King’s Undead Army’s troops grew higher in number, and after four hours, the number of its troops turned from a dozen to several hundred.

“Rodriguez, this is a deadly poison powder concocted by Alice,” Yang Ling said. “If a God-Level Expert inhales it, his consciousness will become muddled, and his flesh will rot. You should smear this poison powder on your Undead Army. At a critical juncture, you can order them to detonate their Godheads, and this poison will then affect a large scope like a poison gas grenade.” Yang Ling took several bottles of powder from his Spatial Ring and passed them to the Corpse Wizard King, who was next to him. He said calmly, “Now it’s time to make Dio taste our power. Let’s go.”

“Hehe. Lord, you can set your mind at ease,” the Corpse Wizard King laughed. “None of Algernon Divine Branch’s men will get to escape. But it’s really a pity for that group of pretty female guards. They’ll become pretty skeletons.” The Corpse Wizard King laughed lecherously as he thought about the pretty female guards with Dio and their soft legs and fair, plump chests.

Even if he couldn’t get a group of pretty women, it would still be pretty good to get a group of female skeletons. This was like a kidnapping of a group of pretty women. Even if he couldn’t capture their hearts, he could at least capture their bodies.

He was a Corpse Wizard King specialized in Mind Magic. Mental and sexual intercourse was one of their specialties, and also their fetish.

“Fine, let’s go,” Yang Ling said. He looked at the old, perverted Corpse Wizard King, who wore a lecherous smile, and shook his head. He waved his hand and moved the numerous Undead flying demons into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension before sneaking back with the crowd into the hall in front of the Departed Spirit Road. They waited for a moment in a remote location and observed the situation. They used the numerous wanderers there as cover and quietly approached the area seized by Algernon Divine Branch’s men.

“Ah, do it stronger, stronger.”

“Liya, stick it up. That’s right. It’s like this. Raise it higher by a bit.”

“Ah! Young master, I can’t bear it any longer.”

…

A spacious tent held an erotic and lascivious sight. A man and two women intertwined like dogs, and there were several naked women in the vicinity. Collision sounds echoed out frequently, along with sobs and wanton moans caused by intense torment.

Dio wasn’t able to enter the Demon Hall as he wished, so he vented his anger and resentment on the pretty female guards with him. He set up a tent and carried out shameful acts.

Vitaly waved his hand and set up a simple Wind Magical Formation Spell to hide this embarrassing matter from the numerous wanderers. The Magical Formation Spell blocked the shameful noises and concealed Dio’s shameful act from the numerous wanderers. But Yang Ling, who had a strong Divine Consciousness, noticed.

When Yang Ling heard the noises in the tent and noticed that Algernon Divine Branch’s men had gone far away to avoid this embarrassing matter, he sneered coldly. “Tsk, tsk. If this guy’s body wasn’t so thin, I might have considered capturing him and turning him into the Wizard Pagoda’s specialized stud horse. He could even be offered to the Beast Soul Priest Augustus as a guinea pig for experiments.”

Now, even if Algernon Divine Branch’s peerless expert Borgans rushed back, he probably still wouldn’t be able to save Dio’s life.
