A Demon’s Path

Looking at the team behind her that was neither too big nor too small, Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.

For an army, it is weak. But if it is too big for the enemy's target, it is too big for others to ignore it.

"Stop!" Ling Xiao made them stop as soon as they reached Bailipo, which was hundreds of meters away from Huangye City.

Everyone looked at Ling Xiao strangely, obviously waiting for Ling Xiao's explanation.

Ling Xiao frowned, looked in the direction of Huangye City solemnly, and said, "I'm afraid, our troubles are coming."

Everyone followed Ling Xiao to look in the direction of Yellow Leaf City, but there was not even the slightest sign of an enemy coming in that direction!

Ling Xiao took out a map formed by the light emitted by the soul stone, and pointed out: "Everyone spread out on the spot. I heard that there are five roads leading to the next city. Hong Zhao and Nalan Jie are on the same team. Yao Wan will lead another team and wait at the intersection of these two roads, try not to make too much noise and cause the other party to notice."

Seeing that Ling Xiao had arranged everyone properly, Nalanjie asked curiously, "What about you?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "After Ling Shiyu and I distract the enemies of Huangye City, I believe that if there are troops guarding there, they will generally relax their vigilance. Everyone should take this opportunity to rush over."

When he heard that Ling Xiao was going to attract the enemy's attention in person, Nalanjie was so moved that he almost shed tears. No wonder these brothers from the Alliance of Gods and Demons want to follow him, he really is a good brother with loyalty!

Yao Wan rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully: "Will the other party be so stupid? You only have two people, even if you take some brothers to the enemy's city, you may not be able to attract the attention of the enemy in Yellow Leaf City."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "You don't have to worry about this, as soon as you receive the news from me, just run away on your own."

Seeing Ling Xiao pretending to be mysterious, Yao Wan didn't bother to chat with Ling Xiao. She didn't believe that Ling Xiao was really so noble, she would rather sacrifice herself to help others escape.

Yao Wan didn't believe it, but the other soldiers were willing to believe Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao wanted to stay and attract the enemy's firepower, and those soldiers bravely stood up one by one: "Boss Ling, we will stay and fight with you!"

"We stay too!"

Ling Xiao rolled her eyes helplessly: Do these guys really think they are going to be cannon fodder?

He just wanted them to dodge first, and not to be a burden to him when he ran away. These guys were "excited" instead.

But looking back, this is good, it shows that they still care about themselves, Boss Ling. If they really didn't respond to seeing him die, then Ling Xiao would be in a sad state right now.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao pretended to be heroic, and said "passionately": "Brothers, have you forgotten what I told you? Follow me, no matter what time, you can Your own life is the criterion. Otherwise, you will all go back to the Alliance of Gods and Demons now!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, speechless for a while. Just a joke, if you go back to the Alliance of Gods and Demons now, do you have to go back?

Seeing that everyone expressed their feelings in silence, Ling Xiao said the truth helplessly: "Don't worry, you go first, and I will join you right away. I swear in the name of my soul, I will not Take the initiative to die. Hurry up, the enemy is coming soon."

After Ling Xiao said that, everyone felt a little relieved, and immediately took the initiative to divide into two teams, and spread out according to the route Ling Xiao said earlier.

Everyone here more or less knows that Ling Xiao has a strange and precise intuition about what is going to happen. He said that if the enemy is coming, the enemy will definitely come.

On the huge road leading to Yellow Leaf City, only Ling Shiyu and Ling Xiao were left.

Ling Xiao didn't waste any more time, and took out the three treasures of the heavenly way, the token of the gods and demons, the jade ring of tianyan, and the mirror of reincarnation, and buried them on the three points of this road in a triangle.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao and Ling Shiyu stood in the center of the triangle of these three heavenly treasures, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Ling Xiao made a very risky decision, that is, there are not many people who bet on the opponent.

If the other party found out his whereabouts and knew that he only had more than 5,000 people, it is estimated that the number of soldiers sent by the other party to hunt and kill him would not be 30,000.

Of course, if the opponent's team has more than 30,000 people, Ling Xiao can only turn around and run away.

The formation he is currently arranging was taught by Huo Xiaotao, that "old boy" who will never grow up. The opponent's upper limit is 30,000 people, and all of them must fall into this triangular area.

This required Ling Xiao to stand there, waiting for the enemy to come and besiege him.

"Could it be that bastard Huo Xiaotao tricked me on purpose?" Ling Xiao stood straight in the middle of the road, always feeling like a fool, she couldn't help thinking to herself.

Ling Xiao made that little guy Huo Xiaotao suffer a lot. Although that little guy won't harm Ling Xiao, it is still possible to take advantage of this opportunity to trick Ling Xiao.

As if she knew what Ling Xiao was thinking, Huo Xiaotao in the God and Demon Space looked dissatisfied: "Brother Ling Xiao, don't you know what kind of person I am, Huo Xiaotao? You think everyone is like you!"

Being teased by Huo Xiaotao, Ling Xiao glared at Huo Xiaotao bitterly, but didn't say a lesson.

Because, the enemy is coming.

In the distance, a piece of dust was flying, and the sound of horseshoes gradually approached.

It wasn't until all the enemies appeared in front of Ling Xiao that Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: only about 20,000 people came.

Ling Xiao guessed that if the other party's generals had no problem with their brains, seeing that there were only two people here, they would definitely surround them first, and then rush up to arrest them and force them to ask the whereabouts of the others.

If the opponent's general is a fool who is not in the middle of the winter, and let 20,000 people come to kill him as soon as he comes up, then Ling Xiao can only raise his head and shout: "There are so many lunatics these days!"

Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't run into a lunatic. Seeing that Ling Xiao had only two people, the leader of Huangye City surrounded them as expected.

Ling Shiyu was ready to give it a go, but let her and Ling Xiao face thousands of troops alone, the nervousness made her subconsciously grab Ling Xiao's arm with her hand.

"Have you two ever seen an army of more than 5,000 people pass by here?" The captain of Huangyecheng pointed his spear at Ling Xiao and asked arrogantly.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed three times in her heart.

This guy actually regarded himself and Ling Shiyu as passers-by, haha! I've seen stupid ones, but I've never seen such stupid ones.

In fact, it can't be blamed on the captain being too stupid. As long as a normal person runs into an enemy, they will run away. How can anyone deliberately leave only two people to deal with the enemy?

Instead of saying that others are too stupid, it is better to say that Ling Xiao himself is too crazy. Crazy and out of order, people can't figure it out.

"A troop of more than 5,000 people?" Ling Xiao's not too treacherous face can confuse many people by pretending to be an honest person, especially these guys who are in a hurry: "It seemed like I’ve seen it before, probably headed west…”

Just when the captain was about to turn his horse's head to the west, Ling Xiao suddenly shouted: "No, no, it should be going to the east!"

"Is it going west or east?" The captain was so angry, how could he be so unlucky to meet a stunned young man?

"Come on!" the captain pointed his golden spear at Ling Shiyu, swallowed, and said. This woman is quite beautiful, if it wasn't for performing official duties...

Being pointed at by the captain, Ling Shiyu grasped Ling Xiao's arm even more, with a look of panic on her face: "I...I don't know..."

Seeing Ling Shiyu's outstanding performance, Ling Xiao praised her in her heart: This girl is acting quite like her now.

In fact, Ling Shiyu's fear was not entirely false.

Even for Ling Xiao himself, it is impossible for him to say that he is not at all afraid of facing more than 20,000 heavily armed soldiers alone, it's just that his psychological quality is better.

The woman didn't say anything, and the man couldn't explain clearly, so the captain could only yell at his subordinates depressingly: "Split the troops into two groups, and notify the east and west checkpoints at the same time to prevent enemy attacks..."

The team leader had just arranged everything and was about to proceed step by step, when Ling Xiao suddenly heard a strange laugh: "You are so smart, they really went half to the east and half to the west."

Hearing Ling Xiao's weird laugh, the captain immediately woke up: "So you were with them too, kill them!"

After all, the captain himself took the lead and stabbed Ling Xiao straight.

Unfortunately, he was still a little late.

"Chirp~~~" A golden beam of light flew out of Ling Xiao's body, and thousands of griffin souls flew out of this golden beam of light, roaring at the twenty thousand warriors in unison.

"Ah..." Being attacked by the sound wave of the griffin's soul, the souls of the 20,000 soldiers couldn't help shaking, their soul power was uncontrollable, and their bodies seemed to be exploded by the frantic soul power.

At this time, three black and white light spots suddenly lit up, surrounding them in a triangle.

If someone looked down from the sky at this time, they would see that the light of these three black and white points of light joined together, turning this area into a triangular light area flooded with black and white light.

The souls of those warriors were first weakened by the impact of the sound waves of the griffin's soul, and now they were covered by this triangular light area. They only felt that their souls were no longer controlled by their physical bodies, and they left their bodies one after another.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu pointing

"Huh? What happened to us just now?" The black and white light faded suddenly, and the 20,000 people looked at me and I looked at you, their faces were full of confusion, as if they had forgotten something.

Ling Xiao let out a long breath of relief, showing a tricky smile on his face: "Brothers, if we don't attack Huangye City now, when will we wait?"
