I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 787 Blackmail
Chen Long's claws continue to evolve as he steps into the tenth level of Shinto. His sharp claws have been tempered and have become Shinto magic weapons that are indestructible.

He wanted to use his own sharp claws to block Zhang Chen's Buzhou Seal. It was a good plan, but what was Zhang Chen's Buzhou Seal?
The Buzhou Seal contains the power to suppress and destroy all things. Under the suppression of the Buzhou Seal, all extraordinary powers will disappear and turn into mortal bodies and mundane things.

There was a "crack" sound, and Chen Long's pair of dragon claws were broken. Before he could react, the Buzhou Seal had already pierced through his broken claws and hit his forehead. Then Chen Long screamed, his eyes rolled back, and he felt dazed and dizzy. He was knocked away by Gu Mingyue's blow, and three liters of blood spurted out of his mouth. Then Zhang Chen's measuring ruler flew out, distorted the void and suppressed Chen Long. Zhang Chen casually threw a suppressing character into Chen Long's body, and then locked him in the ice hell.

It was a bit redundant to suppress the opponent with the Zhen character. The opponent would have no chance of escaping once he entered the Ice Hell. However, Zhang Chen thought that he would have to release the opponent soon, so it was better to suppress him with the Zhen character in advance to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent.

It’s a long story, but in a flash, Zhang Chen and Gu Mingyue had coordinated and suppressed the three powerful demons.

The Buzhou Seal turned into a white light and sank into Zhang Chen's sleeve. Gu Mingyue looked at the Buzhou Seal flying into Zhang Chen's sleeve and her eyelids twitched wildly, with a sense of fear rising in her heart.

This treasure is simply a magical tool that can harm people. Not to mention the two demon gods of the demon race, even if it were me, if I were hit by that treasure, I would probably be close to death.

Moreover, Zhang Chen's move was so sudden and abrupt that he did not see clearly Zhang Chen's Buzhou Seal and could not understand the principle of its operation, so his fear increased even more.

"This treasure of yours is truly extraordinary, but I don't know where it came from. It actually knocked down two eleventh-level demon gods without any resistance." Gu Mingyue looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes and asked tentatively.

Hearing Gu Mingyue's test, Zhang Chen smiled and replied: "They are just some small tricks, which cannot compare with your earth-shattering supernatural power."

"What should we do now?" Zhang Chen changed the subject to cover up the issue, not wanting to continue dwelling on it.

"It depends on the reaction of the demon clan! The demon clan can either send demon gods to continue to descend, or continue to activate the great formation to break the blood sea formation. However, the blood sea formation is not so easy to break, and the other party should not take this route. As for sending demon gods down, the other party should not be willing to do so. After all, two demon gods have been suppressed by us, and they are most likely to negotiate with us." Gu Mingyue said.

Hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the demons wreaking havoc in Jinling City behind him, and said, "I hope so. If we can negotiate earlier, the people can live longer."

Sure enough, during the interval between their conversation, they saw clouds and mist moving above the formation. Pleiades stood outside the formation, looking at Zhang Chen and Gu Mingyue with horror, wondering how the two of them could have such means to suppress the two demon gods in the blink of an eye.

You must know that the Twelve Yuanchen Formation is not simple. Once two hosts are missing, if the opponent finds out the flaw, it will be a big trouble.

After all, Gu Mingyue is not a simple person. If he allows the other party to tear apart the Twelve Yuanchen Formation and escape, and then attract Huang Tiandao's reinforcements, he will be in big trouble.

"Gu Mingyue, you despicable human beings, what means did you use to secretly harm the sacredness of my demon race? Hand over the Pig God and the Dragon God as soon as possible, otherwise the city of Jinling will be reduced to scorched earth and become a ruin in a moment." Mao Riji shouted at the two of them.

"Mao Riji, we are old acquaintances, so stop showing off. Let's talk about your conditions. Why keep saying such useless things?" Gu Mingyue said to Mao Riji.

After hearing this, Pleiades was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think?"

"It's not about how I treat you, but what you want. You demons have no martial ethics and want to trap and kill us. You have locked us up in Jinling City and want to trap and kill us. You are so bold. You ask us what we want to do? We also have to ask you what you want." Gu Mingyue's voice was like thunder. Now that the two demon gods were in his hands, he had the confidence to negotiate and directly scolded the other party.

After hearing what Gu Mingyue said, Mao Riji felt a headache as big as a bucket. He never expected that such a foolproof thing would have such a mistake. He couldn't help but curse the pig demon and Chen Long for being useless. Two eleventh-level strongmen actually turned the tables like this, and he didn't even have the chance to react.

Now that someone has the evidence against me, I'm in a dilemma.

"If you have any conditions, you might as well put them forward and we'll see if we can meet them." The Pleiades above changed the subject. He waited for Gu Mingyue to put forward the conditions, and then they would haggle for a while. By then, perhaps there was hope that the trouble would be solved at the lowest cost.

"How about you open the formation and let me live?" Gu Mingyue said. Upon hearing this, Pleiades refused without hesitation: "This condition is absolutely impossible, you should change the condition."

"If I can't leave the formation to find a way to survive, what's the point of me living? I might as well take the two demon gods with me to be buried with me." Gu Mingyue said with a smile. Now that the two demon gods were captured by him, he had the bargaining chip.

"You'd better think it through and come up with a credible offer. Since we have been ordered to trap you here, we will never let you escape, nor will we give you a chance to live." Subaruji paused at this point and said, "How about I let some of your Huang Tiandao disciples go, and you return my two brothers? You great cultivators must die, but the lower-level disciples can live."

Gu Mingyue's face darkened when he heard this: "After all, I can't escape death today, right?"

"That's right!" said Pleiades.

Gu Mingyue's face darkened upon hearing this: "I can't even survive myself, so why would I care about the lives of ordinary disciples? Just ask your two brothers to be buried with me. We can't negotiate your conditions. My survival is the most basic condition."

After hearing this, Mao Riji felt that the situation was difficult, but it was impossible for him to release Gu Mingyue and his group. After all, it was not easy to surround and kill a twelfth-level strongman. The right time, right place, and right people were all essential.

"Gu Mingyue, stop acting like a demon. Even if I release everyone in Jinling City, I will keep you here and you will definitely die!" Mao Riji spoke, his voice full of firmness that brooked no room for argument.

"So, I have to die?" Gu Mingyue asked after hearing this.

"You must die! If you die, all the people in the city can live, and the Huangtiandao monks in the city can live!" said Mao Riji.

Gu Mingyue's face darkened when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill those two demon gods and bury them with me?"

Upon hearing this, Pleiades sneered: "The key is that the two demon gods are not in your hands."

At this point, Mao Riji looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Brother, don't you think this makes sense? As long as you kill Gu Mingyue in the city, I can open the formation and let you live. My demon clan has made such a big fuss just to kill Gu Mingyue! Now my two demon god brothers are in your hands, you should think about it yourself."

Gu Mingyue's face changed when he heard that, and he turned to look at Zhang Chen. He had a grudge against Zhang Chen, and was afraid that Zhang Chen was short-sighted and would be bewitched by him, so he said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is trying to divide us and ask us to start an internal fight. If I die, you won't be able to survive! Without me to preside over the Blood Sea Formation, the Blood Sea Formation will be broken in an instant. When the ten demon gods descend, you will never be able to resist."

After hearing what Gu Mingyue said, Zhang Chen said nothing, but looked at Mao Riji with his eyes: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. I still need to mobilize all the Huang Tian Dao disciples in Jinling City to persuade Gu Mingyue to make sacrifices, sacrificing the small self for the greater self. But now, please withdraw your troops temporarily, and don't let the demon army wreak havoc in Jinling City, otherwise I will chop off the head of a demon god for you to see."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was persuaded, Mao Riji was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I will order the troops to withdraw. You discuss with the masters in the city and ask this great monk of Huang Tiandao to sacrifice one person for the people of the city."

Pleiades was overjoyed and quickly called back his troops. Countless monsters withdrew from Jinling City like a tide. "I'll give you one day, and I'll come back to ask you after one day. If we can reach a deal, everyone will be happy. If we can't, we may have to fight to the death. To be honest, the Chenlong and the pig monster and I are not of the same species. We are competitors. If you really kill them, I'm not afraid. The worst that can happen is that I'll be punished by the ancestor afterwards."

After finishing his words, Pleiades disappeared into the formation, and after a few flashes, he disappeared without a trace.

Gu Mingyue turned to look at Zhang Chen, her eyes showing a vigilant look. "Zhang Chen, you didn't really listen to that beast and want to attack me, did you? I tell you, if I die, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to break the blood sea formation and then massacre Jinling City. You won't be able to escape then."

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and turned his head to look at Gu Mingyue: "Do you think I'm that kind of idiot? The words of the demon race are not trustworthy. The reason why I spoke to calm him down was that I wanted to take the opportunity to observe the weakness of the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation. Now that the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation has lost the two demon gods presiding over it, it is not running so smoothly. If we have a chance to find its flaws, then we can directly break the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation. Why would we need to make a deal with the demon beasts then?"

Gu Mingyue felt relieved after hearing this: "You are right. It seems that my previous idea was wrong. Even if we capture the demon god, it will be difficult to force him to open the formation!"
