Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 88 Ambush (1/2)

chapter 388: chapter 88 ambush

as the heavenly desire demon monarch’s voice fell,

the cage formed from demonic qi began to tightly envelop everything within, completely wrapping lin jing.

then, the demonic qi cage started to compress inward, and lin jing felt an extremely dangerous sensation coming.

at this moment, engulfed by the cage, lin jing didn’t hesitate, he directly summoned the system, and then silently recited in his mind:

“enter the system space.”

following that, lin jing completely disappeared from inside the demonic qi cage.

it was only after his entire being appeared inside the system space that lin jing truly breathed a sigh of relief.

what lin jing had done a moment before was indeed a bit risky, even nearly costing him dearly.

but it was a risk he had to take.

in fact, from the moment the formation was broken, lin jing knew the heavenly desire demon monarch had no intention of letting him go.

because as soon as they had arrived, lin jing noticed there was something odd in the way the heavenly desire demon monarch looked at him.

moreover, since the formation was broken near where he was, the heavenly desire demon monarch certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

therefore, from that moment, lin jing had already started thinking of a strategy, and his strategy was simple, to use the five elements divine art…

and he himself also possessed the system space, which wouldn’t let him fall into real danger…

fortunately, all of this was still under lin jing’s control, and nothing had gone too awry.

……

all of this had transpired in the blink of an eye, within a very short time.

from lin jing rushing forward, to the heavenly desire demon monarch deploying the demonic energy barrier, trapping lin jing inside, all happened in less than the time it took to draw a breath.

after entering the system space, lin jing didn’t linger but directly summoned the system, initiating the fixed point teleportation feature.

with the initiation of fixed point teleportation, lin jing’s perspective switched back to the outside world.

first and foremost, was the heavenly desire demon monarch.

at this time, the heavenly desire demon monarch’s face was gloomy, his divine sense ceaselessly sweeping back and forth inside the demonic energy barrier.

after a long while, the heavenly desire demon monarch muttered to himself with a dark face,

“impossible, how could he just vanish all of a sudden…”

“with the restraint of the demonic qi cage, he shouldn’t be able to use his spiritual power or cast any spells, there’s no reason for it…”

“but how, how did he escape…”

the heavenly desire demon monarch was perplexed; the demonic qi cage was a spell he had mastered only after years of dedicated study.

once cast, this spell was nearly invincible, never once having failed before.

yet now, a mere early-stage golden core cultivator had escaped from his demonic qi cage.

he didn’t even know how his adversary had managed to escape.

and not just the demonic qi cage, but even within the demonic energy barrier itself, there was no sign of him.

the heavenly desire demon monarch had swept with his divine sense several times over, he was certain that lin jing had indeed escaped the confines of the demonic energy barrier.

this setback darkened the face of the heavenly desire demon monarch like a brooding storm.

at this moment, his demonic energy barrier was still violently shaking, clearly due to the white-clad young man outside who was relentlessly attacking it.

the demonic energy barrier wouldn’t hold up for much longer.

in truth, the situation of the heavenly desire demon monarch was not favorable; he had already sustained no light injuries from the combined attack of lu youjiu and the formation.

it was only after the formation broke that he thought to slay lin jing and then make his escape to heal in seclusion.

but now, with lin jing’s whereabouts unknown, his predicament had only worsened.

to make an escape now, he had to stir the battlefield into chaos first.

thus, the heavenly desire demon monarch abandoned the demonic energy barrier completely, letting the black demonic qi automatically disperse.

in an instant, countless streams of black demonic qi surged outward.

in a short while, it had enveloped the entire battlefield in its dark mists.

as the demonic energy barrier dissipated, lu youjiu burst in.

upon entering, he anxiously searched for lin jing.

the same time, his divine sense ceaselessly swept through the demonic qi.

the more he swept, the more panicked lu youjiu became, for within the demonic qi, there was no trace of lin jing.

he hadn’t even located the heavenly desire demon lord.

……

at that time, using the cover of the demonic qi, the heavenly desire demon monarch’s body was shrouded in swirling demonic qi, concealing his presence impeccably, rendering himself essentially invisible.

taking advantage of this concealment, the heavenly desire demon monarch had originally planned to retreat.

but just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred…

a burst of wu cai radiance suddenly appeared, and just as it manifested, it was already near the heavenly desire demon monarch.

then, a loud shout followed:

“explode!”

with that shout, the wu cai radiance, upon nearing the heavenly desire demon monarch, exploded on the spot.

this explosion was a trifling matter, but the wu cai radiance triggered the five elements divine technique within the heavenly desire demon monarch, causing the suppressed divine technique to become restless in an instant.

consequently, the heavenly desire demon monarch quickly gathered demonic qi, trying to suppress the five elements divine technique within him.

however, this action caused the surrounding black demonic qi to thin out in an instant.

at that moment, lu youjiu saw the immobile heavenly desire demon monarch and lin jing, who was escaping from nearby.

upon seeing lin jing, lu youjiu’s face lit up, and he let out a breath of relief.

“brother lin…”

but lin jing simply said to lu youjiu:

“brother lu…”

“quick, he’s injured now, this is the moment.”

upon hearing lin jing’s words, lu youjiu instantly understood why the heavenly desire demon monarch stood unmoving.

he was injured…

without any hesitation, lu youjiu swung out a sword qi, slashing towards the heavenly desire demon monarch.

however, as the sword qi approached the heavenly desire demon monarch, he began to move.
