Chapter 1154 Change of plan

With Yan Yi's statement, the morale of the demon cultivators was boosted. Although they had concerns about Zhou Yiqiao's plan, they finally chose to trust him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao nodded secretly in his heart, then his body flashed, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for the camp.

As soon as his figure appeared on the outskirts of the camp, he unreservedly released his powerful spiritual pressure, like a scorching sun rising in the dense forest, illuminating everything around him.

Zhou Yiqiao's spiritual pressure surged like a tide, instantly covering the entire camp and arousing the guards' vigilance.

In the hall in the center of the camp, an old demon named Tie Zheng stood up suddenly after feeling the spiritual pressure and immediately realized that the visitor had ill intentions.

Tie Zheng did not act rashly, but quickly issued orders, asking several of his trusted men to quickly inspect the entire camp to confirm that there would be no other problems.

He led several elite monks to the entrance of the camp to find out Zhou Yiqiao's identity.

When Zhou Yiqiao saw that only a few monks had come out of the camp, he knew that the other party's leader was no ordinary person, which made him more convinced of the importance of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

He summoned the Netherworld Demon Sword, the sword body glowing coldly in the night, and he gathered his sword intent, ready to launch an attack.

As the sword intent condensed, the air around Zhou Yiqiao began to vibrate, and an invisible pressure gradually formed, as if all the undercurrents between heaven and earth were converging at this moment, building up momentum for this attack.

Finally, Zhou Yiqiao's sword intent was concentrated to the extreme. He swung the sword fiercely, and a black sword energy rushed towards the camp's defensive formation like a giant dragon.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. The rune light on the defensive formation suddenly intensified, trying to resist this sudden and fierce attack.

However, Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation is unfathomable, and the Netherworld Demon Sword is extremely powerful.

The black sword energy entered the space like a rocket, easily tearing apart a corner of the formation and leaving a shocking crack.

Smoke and dust rose up and debris flew everywhere.

Seeing this, Tie Zheng's face changed drastically.

He didn't expect that the other party was so powerful that he could break through their carefully arranged defenses single-handedly.

But he was, after all, a veteran of the demon clan who had been on many battles. He quickly calmed down, formed seals with his hands, and let the demon power surge in his body, preparing to fight in person.

"Who are you to dare to break into my camp at night?"

Tie Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the camp, carrying a majesty that should not be underestimated.

Zhou Yiqiao did not answer, but swung his sword again.

This time, the sword intent was even more fierce, and the power of heaven and earth seemed to gather on the Netherworld Demon Sword. The three-foot green blade drew black tracks in the air, like a meteor shower in the night sky, dazzling and deadly.

After feeling the power of Zhou Yiqiao's attack, Tie Zheng was shocked and realized that he could not match it with his own strength.

He immediately used a voice transmission device to urgently summon all the monks stationed in the camp for support, hoping to gather everyone's strength to resist Zhou Yiqiao's attack.

Seeing that most of the cultivators had appeared in his sight, Zhou Yiqiao curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

He did not continue to attack, but retreated violently. At the same time, the Netherworld Demon Sword at his side slashed out, cutting one of Tie Zheng's demon cultivators in half in an instant.

Zhou Yiqiao's sudden attack directly ignited the tense atmosphere in the camp.

When Tie Zheng and other monks saw their comrade being beheaded, their anger was instantly ignited, and their eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Zhou Yiqiao.

"catch him!"

Tie Zheng roared, with intense anger in his voice.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhou Yiqiao did not intend to continue fighting with these angry monks.

He deliberately left a flaw, allowing a guard's seemingly casual attack to penetrate his protective circle, and then took advantage of the momentum to dart backwards, leaving behind a trail of elusive afterimages.

He controlled his body movements to just the right degree, which allowed him to trick the other party into thinking he was injured, while at the same time distance himself in a flash and hide back into the night.

"Humph, just a trick, you want to lure me deeper?"

Seeing this, Tie Zheng was unwilling to accept it, but he also understood that he might have fallen into the opponent's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

He ordered immediately.

"Everyone be on alert. Divide into two teams. One team will follow me to capture this person, and the other team will stay in the camp and carefully check the surroundings to prevent any accidents!"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard Tie Zheng's order, he realized that the other party would not fall into the trap so easily.

But there was no way out now, he had to continue with his plan.

Zhou Yiqiao shuttled quickly in the night, followed by a group of angry demon cultivators.

He was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing in the dense forest, always keeping a certain distance, neither letting the pursuers get close nor letting them lose sight of the target.

About half an incense stick of time later, Zhou Yiqiao gradually led the pursuers away from the camp and came to an open area selected in advance.

The surroundings here were open and the moonlight was shining, which was just right for him to use the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Zhou Yiqiao stopped and turned to face the demon cultivators who were chasing him.

He took a deep breath and slowly took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The banner fluttered in the night wind, emitting a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble.

When Tie Zheng saw Zhou Yiqiao stop, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by anger.

He shouted loudly and ordered the demon cultivators to attack.

However, the guards soon discovered that they were no longer facing an ordinary monk, but a terrifying force.

Zhou Yiqiao waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the ghosts in the banner surged out like a tide, howling miserably and pounced on the demon cultivators.

These ghosts are extremely powerful. Each one is carefully selected by Zhou Yiqiao. They are evil ghosts that have devoured a large number of their own kind. Even a demon cultivator in the early stage of transformation would find it difficult to resist.

The demon cultivators were horrified to discover that their attacks had almost no effect on these ghosts, while the ghosts' attacks could directly erode their souls.

For a moment, screams were heard one after another, and the demon cultivators retreated one after another.

The battle only took a moment, far less time than the process of luring the enemy.

After Zhou Yiqiao killed the leader Tie Zheng with a single sword, the noise on the battlefield suddenly stopped, leaving only a hint of chill left behind by the disappearance of the ghost.

Zhou Yiqiao stood among the corpses of demon cultivators on the ground, with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner swaying gently. After devouring the souls of all the demon cultivators, he turned around and rushed towards the camp.

There was a change in the plan, and what he was most worried about now was whether Yan Yi and others could complete the task successfully.

When he returned to the camp, he found that Yan Yi and others were indeed in a tough battle.

The demon cultivators in the camp were well prepared after being reminded by Tie Zheng. They used the formations and mechanisms in the camp to trap Yan Yi and others inside.

Although Yan Yi and others were brave, they seemed a little overwhelmed in this unfavorable situation.
