The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 161 The Gambling Battle Begins

Actually, for this Roc Demon King, agreeing to Zhang Tianlu's conditions wasn't a bad thing.

Because he is currently at a disadvantage.

Moreover, it's an absolute disadvantage, as long as Zhang Tianlu doesn't remove the Dijiang Formation.

With his cultivation level, he would almost certainly die within the Emperor River Formation.

Therefore, agreeing to the duel was not a bad thing for this Roc Demon King; on the contrary, it was a good thing.

On the contrary, it is more risky for Zhang Tianlu.

If they don't gamble, Zhang Tianlu is guaranteed to win; but if they do gamble, Zhang Tianlu still risks losing.

After much deliberation, the roc had no reason to refuse.

And if you lose, you'll just be a slave for a thousand years.

For a demon of his level, 1000 years is just a blink of an eye, after all, he has been imprisoned in this Demon Subduing Hall for more than two thousand years.

Moreover, although he had been Zhang Tianlu's servant for the past 1000 years, Zhang Tianlu had just promised to take him out.

Being a slave outside for 1000 years is definitely better than being imprisoned here with no hope of ever getting out!
Whether it wins or loses, this Roc Demon King is not at a loss.

So why did he refuse?
Even if he can't win, that's his problem, and no one else can be blamed.

Moreover, if Zhang Tianlu could really fight him head-on and defeat him face-to-face, he would be convinced if Zhang Tianlu became his servant for a thousand years.

The demon race is inherently a group that believes might makes right and admires strength.

They are willing to follow the strong. If Zhang Tianlu can really defeat him, he would be willing to be a servant for 2000 years, let alone 1000.

After agreeing to the wager.

The surrounding demons were stunned to see Zhang Tianlu actually withdraw the Emperor Jiang Formation.

They couldn't understand why Zhang Tianlu had actually agreed to the duel.

Even a fool could see that Peng Demon King was deliberately provoking him.

This Roc Demon King has 9000 years of cultivation.

Moreover, Zhang Tianlu couldn't possibly be unaware that it was personally sealed by his grandfather, Zhang Daoling.

Knowing full well that the other party had 9000 years of cultivation, they still dared to agree.

What else could it be but a brain fart?
Does he really think he can win? At the same level, without using magic weapons or having any elemental advantage, demons are definitely stronger than humans.

After all, demons are naturally stronger than humans in terms of physical strength, and it would be difficult for them to go head-to-head with a 9000-year-old demon king.

court death?

"Zhang Tianlu must be crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have done something like this."

"He actually dared to remove the magic array? Isn't he afraid of death?"

"Go head-on with the Roc Demon King? I'm afraid the Great King could tear him to shreds with a single claw strike."

"Isn't that great? I've disliked Zhang Tianlu for a long time anyway. Go, Your Majesty!!"

"Zhang Tianlu is too confident and has too much faith in his own abilities. He will suffer the consequences one day."

……

The surrounding demons whispered amongst themselves, none of them understanding Zhang Tianlu's actions, believing that his head-on confrontation with the Peng Demon King was suicidal.

The Roc Demon King watched as Zhang Tianlu actually withdrew the Emperor Jiang Formation.

He sensed that the space around him had returned to normal.

A look of astonishment appeared on Peng Demon King's face.

"Zhang Tianlu, you actually dare to dismantle the formation? Do you really think you can defeat me?"

Zhang Tianlu put away the Dijiang Flag: "If I didn't have this much confidence, I wouldn't have agreed to your bet. Don't try to deny it when you lose."

"We've lived for thousands of years, surely we can't be so easily fooled?"

Peng Demon King sneered: "Do you think we demons are like you humans? Going back on our word? As long as you win, we'll do whatever you say!"

Demons and humans are indeed different.

Humans like to play tricks and go back on their word.

But demons do not.

As is widely known, the demon race, except for a few cunning demons with extremely poor reputations, is generally considered to be of high caliber.

Apart from animals like foxes and weasels.

Most of the others are known for being physically strong but simple-minded, which is also a kind of advantage.

At least these demons would never go back on their promises, even if it meant their deaths.

This Roc Demon King is that kind of person.

He always keeps his promises and never goes back on his word. Moreover, Zhang Tianlu's willingness to dismantle the magic array under these circumstances earned him high regard from the Peng Demon King.

Having found this person somewhat interesting, the Roc Demon King now regards him as a formidable opponent.

……

Peng Demon King said, "Alright, since neither side has any objections, let's stop talking and begin!"

After Peng Demon King finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack.

Seeing that the two people had started gambling, the contest of skills began.

The demons and monsters that had been gathered around to watch the battle all retreated.

Make room for them.

Although the demons in the Demon Subduing Hall are all ancient demons, each one of them is a demon king.

However, there are differences between demon kings, and this level of battle is simply beyond their ability to intervene.

They were afraid of getting caught in the crossfire if they got too close, so they quickly backed away, not wanting to be affected.

The Peng Demon King made his move, and the guy instantly transformed into a streak of black light.

The terrifying black light slashed towards Zhang Tianlu like a black guillotine.

This roc has cultivated for 9000 years and has refined all its feathers to the point that they are invulnerable to swords and spears.

At the same time, each of his feathers is like a peerless divine weapon.

When the Roc Demon King launched its attack, a single flap of its wings was an extreme act of strangulation against its enemies!

Zhang Tianlu watched as the creature flapped its steel wings and lunged at him.

He certainly couldn't just sit and wait to die.

He made a hand seal with his hand in reverse.

Golden Light Divine Mantra!

The Great Golden Light Mantra!!

"Heaven and Earth are the origin of all things, the root of all energy. Through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine power. Within and without the Three Realms, I alone am supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light."

"In the vast chaos, the first Qi was separated. Golden light and pure Qi were called Yuqing. The Primordial Beginning established the form, and the Supreme Being of Nature was established. Azure and white light shone together, and the Upper Clarity was established. Within the Seven Treasures Palace, there was the Jade Emperor Dao Lord."

After adding two protective mantras.

This Dragon-Tiger Ancestor Celestial Master directly confronted the Roc Demon King.

The terrifying black feathers of the divine weapon brushed against Zhang Tianlu's Taoist protective golden light spell.

It produced a lot of sparks.

"Ping ping ping!!!!"

Although these roc feathers are indeed sharp.

However, they were no match for Zhang Tianlu's two layers of golden light shield, which were enhanced by his profound Taoist cultivation.

Still unable to break through the defenses.

The Roc Demon King tried to scrape for a long time, but it couldn't move the two layers of golden light spells.

The Roc Demon King was already furious.

The Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, Taoism!!!

It reminded him of his magical duel with the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling more than two thousand years ago.

Zhang Daoling used the same Golden Light Mantra back then.

For him, this was not a pleasant memory.

Therefore, the Roc demon struggled for a long time but couldn't break the golden shield.

It went berserk.

"Wow!!!"

It emitted a terrifying cry like that of a roc.

The next second, the black roc demon flapped its wings and took to the air.

When he flew to a certain altitude, he suddenly dove down.

This time, instead of using wings, they used sharp claws to attack.

A pair of roc claws swooped down like iron hooks.

It seems capable of crushing everything in the world!

"Break for me!!!"
