85: The devil is trapped in a dragnet
If that punch had landed, what would have become of him?
Innate Comprehension gave Gu Liangyuan the ability to think calmly during battle.
Facing this move, dozens of solutions instantly came to his mind.
The most advantageous one for him was to use the Child of Destiny as a shield.
However, it was clear that the conditions for that were not currently met.
Gu Liangyuan could only settle for the next best thing.
In the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth state, not only did Gu Liangyuan's Spiritual Qi Cultivation Realm increase to the Void Refining Realm, but his Physical Body Cultivation Realm was no exception.
Besides daily Cultivation, the Sun Moon Glass Body Cultivation Technique also had its unique auxiliary method.
That was the ability to instantly pour all the Qi and blood power of the entire body into one spot, greatly increasing its power.
For example, the fists, chest, and other locations.
But similarly, when the Qi and blood were concentrated in one area, the defense of other areas would become weaker.
However, for Gu Liangyuan at this moment, short of using his trump card, it was already the best choice.
With this in mind, while Gu Liangyuan mobilized his Qi and blood to protect his groin, he bent his right knee and charged towards the Mighty Demon King.
If the Mighty Demon King continued to attack, he would surely take this knee from Gu Liangyuan.
If he retreated, both would be safe.
The Mighty Demon King also perceived Gu Liangyuan's intention, but he had no thought of retreating whatsoever.
The Demon Race was more stark than the Human Race; it was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
The Mighty Demon King had relied on ruthlessness and courage to rise step by step from his humble beginnings to his current position.
Want to be ruthless, huh?
Then let's see who is more ruthless!
The Mighty Demon King's movements were not slow but fast, striking directly at Gu Liangyuan's groin!
Clang!
When the two collided, it sounded like the ringing of a golden bell!
It was also like the sound of the Great Lu, reverberating between Heaven and Earth!
An invisible Spiritual Qi storm, centered on the two, continuously spread outwards.
All buildings within ten li were reduced to dust by this single blow, raising a sky full of smoke and dust!
Beyond ten li, although the impact was not as strong as in the center, it still caused the green mountains to tremble and scattered rocks to fly!
A gust of wind blew, dispersing the smoke and dust, revealing the scene at the center of the storm.
At this moment, Gu Liangyuan was panting heavily, but his body was completely unharmed.
In contrast, the Mighty Demon King, having taken a knee from Gu Liangyuan head-on, had a caved-in chest and blood at the corner of his mouth!
It seemed that Gu Liangyuan had the upper hand.
But the Mighty Demon King's chest rippled for a moment and quickly returned to normal.
As for the Blood Demon and Shadow Demon from before, because they were at the very center of the two's clash, they had already been shaken to death!
Generally speaking, every time one advanced a major Realm, their strength would undergo a qualitative leap.
Even the life level would evolve accordingly, completely incomparable in terms of quantity.
Therefore, the world called those who fought across Realms peerless Prodigies!
Obviously, the two demons were not among the peerless Prodigies, and it was normal for them to be unable to withstand the attack of a Late Stage Void Refining Realm expert.
Gu Liangyuan and the Mighty Demon King confronted each other from afar, feeling impatient.
More than twenty seconds had passed since he first activated Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, and he could not wait any longer.
With this in mind, Gu Liangyuan took a step forward.
Seven hundred zhang tall, stepping like a collapsing mountain!
He raised his right fist high, carrying the momentum of tearing through the air, and smashed it directly at the Mighty Demon King!
Seeing this, the Mighty Demon King suddenly smiled.
Changing his previous rigid style, he suddenly retreated continuously to dodge.
Gu Liangyuan's punch missed, and he changed his fist to a palm.
Roar!
A palm strike was launched through the air, the palm wind roaring, transforming into nine fiery Dragons that shot straight towards the Mighty Demon King.
Seeing this, the Mighty Demon King's smile deepened.
After muttering a few mysterious syllables, his figure changed, suddenly shrinking into a brawny man twelve feet tall.
With his body size reduced, he immediately became agile, dodging left and right among the nine fiery Dragons.
Although he couldn't completely avoid them and was hit by one of the fiery Dragons, he didn't lose his rhythm because of it; instead, he continued to dodge, waiting for the opportune moment.
Waiting for the moment when Gu Liangyuan's power would be exhausted!
He had already guessed that Gu Liangyuan's current state was merely maintained by some secret art, and not his true Cultivation.
As far as he knew, such secret arts often had a time limit.
Therefore, he immediately changed his strategy, focusing on a war of attrition.
Watching Gu Liangyuan's anxious attacks, he knew his guess was correct, so he became even less anxious.
It's not the reckless man you fear, but the reckless man with a brain.
Such a thought flashed through Gu Liangyuan's mind.
Seeing the Mighty Demon King intent on a drawn-out fight, Gu Liangyuan let out a long breath.
In Gu Liangyuan's current state, a breath could form mist, and an exhalation could become wind!
His casual exhalation, reaching a distance, turned into a strong gust of wind.
Seeing that close-quarters combat was not working, Gu Liangyuan immediately changed his strategy.
With a thought, the two Laws of Water and Fire appeared out of thin air.
Intertwining, they formed a giant red and blue Law net!
"Fall!"
Gu Liangyuan uttered a single word, and the giant net descended overhead, enveloping the Mighty Demon King.
The Mighty Demon King, not daring to be careless with any of Gu Liangyuan's attacks at this point, hastily tried to dodge.
However, the giant net seemed to possess sentience, following him closely.
When he grew larger, the giant net also grew larger.
When he shrank, the giant net also shrank.
With nowhere left to hide, he flipped his hand, took out a pair of short axes, and chopped towards the giant net.
Clearly, he hadn't used all his methods during his previous fight with Gu Liangyuan.
Just as he shot into the sky, about to chop the giant net, he suddenly felt an emptiness in his body.
Immediately after, all his demonic power completely vanished!
It was at this instant that the giant net firmly ensnared him, pulling him down to the ground.
However, as the giant net ensnared the Mighty Demon King, the power of the Law on the net gradually dimmed.
According to Gu Liangyuan's analysis, this Heavenly Net could at most trap him for five seconds.
This was mainly due to his own insufficient Realm; if he utilized Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth to raise himself to the same Realm as the Mighty Demon King, it would probably not be difficult to trap him for several minutes.
Alternatively, if he had comprehended more Laws, it could also make the Heavenly Net more secure.
Thus, Gu Liangyuan dared not delay, and as he formed hand seals, the Twelve Earth Swords hung before his chest.
These twelve swords grew with the wind, reaching nearly a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye!
From a distance, they looked like twelve floating mountains.
As Gu Liangyuan continuously formed hand seals, the Twelve Earth Swords shone brightly!
"Go!"
With a single word, the Twelve Earth Swords transformed into streams of light and descended from the sky, positioning themselves according to the twelve earthly branches, surrounding the Mighty Demon King in the center before the Heavenly Net disappeared.
Immediately after, the four minor formations of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter interlocked, simultaneously attacking the Mighty Demon King!
The Spring formation, of Wood, traps the Devil King, Summer's fire refines the Soul under the bright sun.
Autumn's metal brings Killing Intent, dissipating Qi and blood, while the Frost and Snow Sword hears the wails!
For a time, within the Sword Formation, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and wails were incessant!
Four, three, two, one.
Gu Liangyuan silently counted in his mind; the wailing in the Sword Formation had stopped for four seconds.
He could no longer maintain the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth state.
As his body was forced to shrink, the Sub-Wu Sword Formation also disintegrated, transforming back into twelve swords that returned to Gu Liangyuan's hand.
Just as the Sword Formation disappeared, a red light shot out from within the Sword Formation!
It was the Mighty Demon King, whose aura was weak.
At this moment, the Mighty Demon King was covered in blood, with no intact skin.
In severe areas, white bone was faintly visible.
At this point, he was also nearing his physical limit.
Only a single thought sustained him, preventing him from fainting from the pain.
That thought was to kill Gu Liangyuan!
