Chapter 156 Targeting
In the martial arts arena, five figures are practicing sword formations.
The four men looked at each other, and one of them took advantage of the moment when the formation changed to shoot out a stream of demonic energy in the direction of Cheng Shuyan.
The formation changed, and the evil energy hit Cheng Shuyan's sword. The sudden force made her body shake, and the sword formation failed again.
Seeing this, the four of them all smiled evilly, and then one of them pretended to be angry and asked her:
"Cheng Li, you did this on purpose, didn't you? How many times have we practiced this? And every time, it's you who causes the problem!"
yes……
The third time!
These people seemed to have banded together to target her.
The five of them have been practicing sword formations for three months. At first, they all practiced individually to familiarize themselves with the sword moves, and only recently did they start to combine into a sword formation.
At the beginning, Cheng Shuang practiced with a few people. These people were still cautious and did not dare to attack Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuang had been away for some time during these few days, and they happened to be practicing formation changes, so these people began to find various ways to tease her.
The first time, Qin Hong tripped her unexpectedly, causing her to fall.
The second time, Yang Lin cast a spell in her direction, and in order to avoid it, she had to exit the formation.
This time, Tan Wenjin chose to attack her sword.
Cheng Shuyan didn't want to cause trouble for Cheng Shuang, so he chose to be patient.
But they kept teasing her like this again and again, and she would not tolerate it anymore!
Cheng Shuyan put away his sword and his eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one, revealing a hint of coldness.
"What? Are you only capable of these little tricks? Don't think I don't know what you're up to!
You think that just because the Young Demon Lord has taken a fancy to me, you will have no chance of becoming her confidant.
So they tried to drive me away in various ways, haha... a bunch of idiots!"
"What do you mean? You're not doing well on your own, but you're blaming us? You're slandering us with empty words, but we're not pushovers!"
The person who spoke was the one who questioned her at the beginning. His name was Xu Maolin, and he was the backbone of the other people.
"Friend Xu, you know clearly what is right and what is wrong! Have you ever considered the consequences of targeting me like this?"
Cheng Shuyan sneered and questioned Xu Maolin.
"Even if you don't understand sword formations, after two months of practice, you should be able to figure out some of the tricks!
If any part of this sword formation is missing, you will have no chance to remedy it. I'm sure you all know how dangerous the demon cave is.
If you enter the Demon Cave in this state, you will only die in vain and will also bring trouble to the Young Demon Lord. Do you think that if you fight with me for a short period of time now, you will still be alive to fight for power and profit in the future?"
Tan Wenjin was a fool. He had never had much brains. When Cheng Shuyan said this, he immediately retorted:
"Don't bluff here. It's only been two months. The Young Demon Lord should just find another Holy Son!"
"Idiot." Cheng Shuyan glanced at him as if he were a fool.
"This formation has three more variations. Even if we practice day and night for the remaining ten months, we will only be barely familiar with it by the time the Demon Cave opens.
Do you think that if you change people now, you will still have time to practice slowly?
Losing your own lives is a small matter, but you should be aware of how much the Young Demon Lord values this trip to the Demon Cave. If you cause any harm to the Young Demon Lord, even if your souls are scattered, you will be lucky!"
Cheng Shuang told them from the beginning that she had to enter the magic cave to retrieve something, and the place where the thing was located could only be broken by this sword formation.
She could probably guess what these people were thinking. They were all in the late stage of foundation building, close to the great perfection of foundation building, while the cultivation level she showed was only the early stage of foundation building.
In addition, when they met Cheng Shuang for the first time, Cheng Shuang left her alone, so these people began to have ideas in their minds.
If they hadn't dared to kill anyone in the Holy King's Palace, I'm afraid several of them would have planned to take her life long ago.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuyan sighed, and in order not to affect Cheng Shuang's plan, he said patiently:
“I know you don’t like me and think I’m only qualified to stand with you because of the Young Demon Lord’s favoritism.
How about this, let's make it a deal today. I'll fight each of you. If I can beat you, you'll never do these little tricks again.
If I lose to one of you, I will admit defeat and resign my title as Holy Son to the Young Demon Lord after this trip to the Demon Cave. Do you dare to make this bet with me?"
Her words made several people look at each other in confusion, hesitant for a moment, fearing that she was playing some tricks.
No one would think that she, who was in the early stage of foundation building, would dare to challenge the four of them who were in the late stage of foundation building.
Even if she fights one opponent at a time, she has no chance of winning.
However, they quickly made a decision. Since she was seeking death herself, they were naturally happy to do so.
Xu Maolin took a step forward and said aggressively, "Well, in that case, why don't we all swear an inner demon oath? That way, we won't have to worry about anyone cheating. What do you think?"
"Of course, but since we are practicing sword formations, we must only fight with swords. Aside from body movements, no magic can be used. This is my condition."
"Okay, we agree!" Xu Maolin agreed to her conditions without thinking.
In their opinion, even if they only used swords, with their cultivation level, wouldn't it be easy to deal with Cheng Shuyan, who was in the early stage of foundation building?
All the fancy things are empty talk in the face of absolute strength!
Several people quickly swore an oath to their inner demons, and each of them had an expression that made them sure of victory.
The same went for Cheng Shuyan, with the corners of her mouth raised high and her smile was extremely sweet.
How could a bunch of fools be fooled by this?
She was overjoyed. As long as they dared to agree, she would definitely win.
Several people were dazzled by her smile, and felt a sense of inappropriateness in their hearts.
Cheng Shuyan is actually very beautiful, but she usually tries to hide herself and has little presence, so people rarely notice her.
Xu Maolin always felt that her smile like this made him feel particularly familiar, not because of his familiarity with Cheng Shuyan herself, but because of someone else.
But he couldn't remember where he had seen such a smile, so he let go of this strange feeling and said coldly to Cheng Shuyan:
"What a pity! If we hadn't met on such an occasion, I would have loved to be friends with you. Fellow Daoist Cheng, please come in."
"please."
Cheng Shuyan smiled at him and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
The two of them jumped up at the same time and stood firmly at the two ends of the martial arts stage.
Both of them held long swords in their hands. Although there were no other movements, it was not difficult to see the tense atmosphere between them.
Xu Maolin took a deep breath and took the initiative to break the atmosphere between the two.
The tip of his sword pointed directly at Cheng Shuyan, and his figure changed like a ghost, and he was in front of her in an instant.
