Chapter 222: Entering the Devil's Nest, Encountering an Ambush

The cold laughter echoed in the dense forest, making people shudder. Ren Xiaoyao stopped and scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze.

"Come out, Blood Demon Leader. You are a coward. Do you only know how to hide in the dark?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice echoed in the woods like a huge bell.

"Hmph, Ren Xiaoyao, stop being so arrogant! Today is the day you die!" The voice of the Blood Demon Leader came from all directions, making it difficult to guess his location.

"Playing tricks!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly, and swung the sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy broke through the air and cut a tree in front of him in half.

"Ah!" A scream came from the depths of the woods, and a black shadow fell down from the tree in a mess. It was the shadow guardian who had escaped before.

"You guys are just a bunch of junks, and you think you can stop me?" Ren Xiaoyao pointed his sword at the Shadow Protector, his eyes full of disdain.

"Hmph, don't get so cocky!" The Shadow Guardian clutched his chest and struggled to stand up. "Today, I'll let you witness the power of our Demon Cult!"

After saying this, he made seals with his hands and muttered something.

As he chanted the spell, the surrounding trees began to shake violently and the ground began to tremble, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

"Be careful, Brother Xiaoyao, there is an ambush here!" Xia Lin realized that something was wrong and quickly reminded him.

Almost at the same time, the surrounding trees suddenly exploded, and countless black shadows shot out from the trunks, like locusts, attacking Ren Xiaoyao and others.

"Oh no, it's a demonic mechanism!" The righteous leader's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

These magic mechanisms are made of fine iron, are extremely sharp, and are extremely fast, making them difficult to guard against.

"Everyone be careful!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, and the long sword in his hand danced like flying, blocking the magic mechanisms shot at himself and Xia Lin one by one.

However, the number of magic mechanisms was too great, and the attack angles were so strange and tricky that it was difficult to resist.

"Hehehe... Ren Xiaoyao, you can't escape today!" The voice of the Blood Demon Leader sounded again, full of pride and ridicule.

As soon as he finished speaking, several black shadows fell from the sky and surrounded Ren Xiaoyao and others.

"The Poisonous Scorpion Witch!" Xia Lin recognized one of them at a glance. It was the Poisonous Scorpion Witch who had escaped from the Demon Cult's headquarters before.

"Hmph, little girl, we meet again!" The poisonous scorpion witch smiled coldly, and the poisonous scorpion whip in her hand made a crisp "pa pa" sound, which made people shudder.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful. Her scorpion whip is extremely poisonous. Once you are hit, the consequences will be disastrous!" Xia Lin reminded anxiously.

"I know." Ren Xiaoyao nodded, his eyes sweeping over the enemies around him, thinking to himself, "It seems like we're going to have a tough battle today..."

He took a deep breath, circulated the Qi in his body to its fullest, and a powerful aura burst out from him...

Ren Xiaoyao's sword energy crisscrossed his body, crushing the attacking demonic devices like a violent storm. He possessed a powerful yang technique that could suppress demonic forces, and each strike was accompanied by a searing scorching energies, forcing the demonic devices to retreat. However, these devices were too numerous, and their fearlessness and persistence kept them coming. Despite Ren Xiaoyao's profound skills, he gradually felt the strain.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin's anxious voice came from the other side of the battle group. The Scorpion Witch, wielding her scorpion whip like a nimble venomous snake, weaved through the crowd, constantly looking for opportunities to attack the injured righteous disciples.

Xia Lin's slender figure nimbly weaved between the traps and the gaps between the attacks, her silver needles dancing as she delivered healing elixirs to the wounded righteous disciples. While treating the wounded, she also had to be constantly vigilant against the attacks of the poisonous scorpion witch, narrowly avoiding being struck by the scorpion whip several times.

"Little girl, is all you can do is hide?" The Scorpion Witch was angry when she saw that Xia Lin dodged her attacks several times. She swung the scorpion whip in her hand more violently, and the shadows of the whip were so heavy that they blocked all of Xia Lin's escape routes.

"Witch, stop being so arrogant!" With a furious shout, the Wind Swordsman forced back the Shadow Guardian in front of him with a single strike. With a flash of his sword, he stood in front of Xia Lin. He shook his sword, and the sword energy transformed into a barrier, blocking all of the Scorpion Witch's attacks.

"Qingfeng Swordsman, mind your own business!" The Scorpion Witch said angrily, and the scorpion whip in her hand turned into a black shadow and went straight to the face of Qingfeng Swordsman.

The Qingfeng Swordsman didn't dare to be careless. He swung his longsword horizontally, blocking the attack of the Poison Scorpion Witch. The two immediately engaged in a battle, sword energy crisscrossing, whip shadows flying, and for a moment it was difficult to determine the winner.

"Leader, I'm here to help you!" At this moment, a loud shout came from the other side, and a tall figure joined the battle group and joined forces with the leader of the righteous path to fight against the Blood Demon Leader.

"Boom!" The Blood Demon Cult Leader repelled the Righteous Alliance Leader with a single palm strike. His cold gaze swept across the battlefield, finally landing on Ren Xiaoyao, who was surrounded by the crowd. A cruel smile curved his lips: "Ren Xiaoyao, today is the day you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and turned into a blood shadow, heading straight for Ren Xiaoyao.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed, wanting to go forward to help, but was pulled back by the Qingfeng Swordsman: "Don't go over there, you'll die if you go!"

Xia Lin was extremely anxious, but she also understood that what Qingfeng Swordsman said was reasonable. She could only watch helplessly as the Blood Demon Leader rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao...

The Blood Demon Cult Leader transformed into a bloody shadow, moving at astonishing speed, rushing in front of Ren Xiaoyao in the blink of an eye. His five fingers formed into claws, carrying a strong smell of blood, and fiercely grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's chest.

Ren Xiaoyao was prepared, and he dodged the attack by slightly tilting his body. He shook the sword in his hand, and the sword light slashed towards the Blood Demon Leader like a streak of light.

"A mere trifle!" the Blood Demon Cult leader snorted coldly, not dodging or evading, allowing the sword light to strike him. However, to everyone's surprise, the sword light actually penetrated his body without leaving any scars.

"What kind of evil magic is this?!" The Righteous Alliance leader was horrified upon seeing this. He had fought against the Blood Demon Cult Leader for many years, but had never seen such a strange technique.

"Hahaha..." The Blood Demon Cult Leader laughed heartily, his voice filled with pride and mockery. "Ren Xiaoyao, do you think you can hurt me with your meager cultivation? Today, all of you will die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Demon Leader's body disappeared like smoke. The next moment, he appeared behind Ren Xiaoyao, his five fingers like hooks, grabbing his back again.

Although Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, he remained calm. He slapped out with his backhand, and the hot true energy turned into a wall of fire, blocking the attack of the Blood Demon Leader.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky, and the entire demon nest seemed to tremble.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed, wanting to go forward to help, but Qingfeng Swordsman held her back firmly: "Don't go over there, you'll only cause trouble for him if you go over now!"

Xia Lin was extremely anxious, but she also understood that what Qingfeng Swordsman said made sense. She could only watch Ren Xiaoyao being entangled by the Blood Demon Leader, feeling extremely anxious.

On the other side, Qingfeng Swordsman and the leader of the righteous path were also entangled by the masters of the evil path and could not get away to support Ren Xiaoyao.

"Qingfeng Swordsman, your opponent is me!" The Shadow Protector sneered, and the two swords in his hands attacked Qingfeng Swordsman like a storm.

The Qingfeng Swordsman dared not be careless, his longsword flying up and down, trying his best to resist the attacks of the Shadow Guardian. Both of them were top masters of the time, and the battle was extremely fierce for a while, with sword energy running wildly and knife lights flashing, dazzling the eyes.

The situation for the Righteous Alliance leader was not optimistic either. Although he possessed profound skills, he was unable to gain the slightest advantage against the Blood Demon Cult's other protector, the Poison Scorpion Witch.

The Scorpion Witch's venomous whip was unpredictable and extremely poisonous, killing anyone who wasn't careful. Although the Righteous Alliance leader was cautious, he was still struck several times by the whip. If it weren't for his profound internal strength, he would have died from the poison long ago.

"Hahaha..." The Blood Demon Cult Leader, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but burst into laughter as he watched the scene before him. "Ren Xiaoyao, aren't you very powerful? Why are you being chased and beaten by me like a stray dog?"

Ren Xiaoyao ignored the Blood Demon Leader's ridicule. While dodging the Blood Demon Leader's attacks, he carefully observed the surrounding environment.

He knew that if he wanted to defeat the Blood Demon Leader, he had to find his weakness first.

"These magic devices..." Ren Xiaoyao's eyes swept over the constantly attacking magic devices around him, and his mind suddenly moved. "Although the attacks of these devices are fierce, there seems to be some kind of pattern..."

While dodging the attacks of the Blood Demon Cult Leader, he carefully observed the operation of those magic mechanisms and constantly deduced various possibilities in his mind.

"Found it!" Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He seemed to have discovered something...

Ren Xiaoyao's figure weaved through the cracks of the demonic mechanism, like a small boat in a violent storm, teetering on the verge of collapse yet always standing firm. The Blood Demon Cult Leader transformed into a blood-red shadow and followed closely behind him. Each attack was filled with fierce murderous intent, but he could never touch the corner of Ren Xiaoyao's clothes.

"The attack trajectory of these mechanisms... could it be..." While dodging the attacks, Ren Xiaoyao scanned the surrounding environment with a sharp gaze. The seemingly chaotic operation of those mechanisms gradually showed a certain pattern in his eyes.

"Boy, are you looking for death? How dare you ignore me!" Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao seemed to be distracted by other things, the Blood Demon Leader became even angrier and his attacks became more fierce.

Ren Xiaoyao remained unmoved. His attention was completely focused on those magical mechanisms, and he kept deducing various possibilities in his mind.

"Found it!" Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He took a step to the side, and several crossbow arrows that were originally shot at him almost flew past his body.

"It's just as I expected!" Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself. He had previously felt that although the attacks of these magic mechanisms were fierce, there seemed to be some kind of pattern behind them. Now it seems that his guess was correct.

"Boy, you dare to play tricks on me!" Seeing this, the Blood Demon Leader was even more furious. He formed seals with his hands, and a powerful blood-colored true energy burst out from his body, turning into a huge blood-colored devil claw, grabbing towards Ren Xiaoyao fiercely.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin cried out in alarm upon seeing this. She wanted to go forward to help, but was held back by the Qingfeng Swordsman. "Don't go over there! You'll only cause trouble for him if you go over now!"

Xia Lin was extremely anxious, but she also understood that what Qingfeng Swordsman said made sense. She could only watch Ren Xiaoyao being enveloped by the bloody devil's claws, feeling extremely anxious.

"A mere trick!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly. He flashed his body and actually rushed directly towards the bloody devil's claws.

"Looking for death!" Seeing this, the Blood Demon Leader showed a cruel smile on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of Ren Xiaoyao being torn into pieces by the bloody devil's claws.

However, the next moment, an unbelievable scene happened to the Blood Demon Leader.

Ren Xiaoyao rushed to the bloody devil's claws without any intention of dodging. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the palm of the bloody devil's claws.

With a loud bang, the bloody devil's claws shattered under Ren Xiaoyao's palm, turning into a blood mist and dissipating in the sky.

"This...how is this possible?!" The Blood Demon Leader widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that the Blood Demon Claw, which he was so proud of, was dissolved so easily by Ren Xiaoyao.

"Nothing is impossible." Ren Xiaoyao looked at the Blood Demon Cult Leader coldly and said calmly, "Though these magic devices of yours are powerful, they are not invulnerable. As long as we find the patterns within them, we can easily break them."

"You..." The Blood Demon Leader's face turned pale. He never thought that the trap he had carefully set up could be seen through so easily by Ren Xiaoyao.

"Now, it's my turn!" A cold light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, and his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"Not good!" The Blood Demon Leader was shocked, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the Blood Demon Cult leader felt a pain in his chest, and his whole body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

"Master!"

The Shadow Protector and the Scorpion Witch were shocked upon seeing this. They never expected that the powerful Blood Demon Leader would be seriously injured by Ren Xiaoyao in such a short time.

"You...you all deserve to die!" The Blood Demon Leader struggled to get up from the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a madman. An even more powerful aura burst out from his body.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Seeing this, Xia Lin suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she shouted a warning.

However, it's too late...

The Blood Demon Leader suddenly let out a long roar towards the sky, and his body began to swell up. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge blood-colored monster several feet tall, emitting a terrifying aura that made people's heart palpitate.

"What...is this thing?!" The leader of the Righteous Alliance and the Qingfeng Swordsman were also stunned by the scene before them. They had never seen such a terrifying monster.

"Hahaha..." The Blood Demon Cult Leader laughed wildly, his voice becoming extremely hoarse, like the roar of a wild beast. "Ren Xiaoyao, you can't kill me. Today I will drag all of you into hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Demon Cult Leader swung his giant claws fiercely and slapped Ren Xiaoyao and the others...
