Guwal shouted, and in just a moment, several more blood marks appeared on his body. Ye Shanming's moves hit his vital points and did not give him any chance to create distance.

The immortal Bezer was not much better than him. His armor was torn to pieces and was chopped off by Xinmei's sword.

Hearing Guval's cry, he quickly looked around, confirmed everyone's position, put his hands on the ground, and magical light shot up into the sky. A milky white barrier rose from the ground, wrapping up the entire team of brave men and quickly closing it.

During the battle of Xinmeier, he buried the barrier nodes, which were all activated at this time, changing the entire situation of the battle.

A burning smell filled the air, and a thin flash of lightning appeared on the tip of Fulilian's staff. The destructive thunder that she unleashed with all her strength struck the milky white barrier like a waterfall, without causing any ripples.

Ye Shanming slashed the suddenly rising barrier with his sword. The barrier shook twice, but was finally intact and quickly closed.

"Ye Shanming, seal!"

Before he could use the space transfer magic to continue the pursuit, Fulilian's calm voice sounded in his ears.

A black hole appeared above Guval's head as he was fleeing towards Bezer. Broken rocks and broken wood on the ground flew towards the black hole like a backward waterfall. Guval hurriedly cast gravity magic to fight against this terrifying attraction.

A gray light flew over silently. Although its speed was not fast, he was restrained by the black hole magic at this time and could only watch the gray light hit him. The place of collision was instantly petrified and spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a stone statue by the sealing magic.

After sealing Guwal, the milky white barrier closed completely, leaving no gaps, trapping all five people within the barrier.

Fulilian put away her staff and sat on the ground with her hands on her knees. Haita was lying on the ground, his face, which was already livid due to the hangover, looked even uglier. Aize was holding the half-broken axe and sitting next to Haita, gasping for breath. He had taken two punches from Livalai and his injuries were not easy either.

"Flillian, Ye Shanming, can you analyze this barrier?"

Xinmeier circled the barrier and found no way to leave, so he could only pin his hopes on the two magicians in the team.

"I can not."

Fulilian only took a glance at the barrier and shook her head before giving her own conclusion: "This barrier is very strong. I can't imagine the scenario of analyzing it."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Shanming who was sitting next to her: "Your attainments in barrier formations are higher than mine. Is there any solution?"

"I'm only good at setting up temporary barriers. I'm not as good as you at analyzing barriers."

Ye Shanming smiled and stood up: "Although analysis is not possible, forcible breaking is still possible."

"What are you going to do?"

Fulilian looked at him in confusion. Even the Thunder of Destruction just now couldn't shake the barrier, so none of the other magic she knew could forcibly break the barrier.

"You guys take precautions first."

Ye Shanming waved his hand and told them to take care of themselves. After Fulilian finished casting the defensive magic, he began to explain:

"No matter how good the barrier is for physical and magical protection, it will be forcibly broken as long as the nodes where the magic flow is destroyed. Therefore, we only need to find a way to disrupt the flow of magic."

"Shouldn't we destroy the nodes?"

Ye Shanming did not say anything about Fulilian's doubts. Magic power surged into his eyes, and an extremely complex magic circle faintly lit up in the depths of his pupils.

Where he was staring, the light wall that should have been extremely solid began to twist and deform like mud. The magic power that should have flowed smoothly was suddenly intercepted, as if part of it suddenly entered another space, and the barrier that could not obtain effective magic power shattered.

"boom!"

In the eyes of the immortal Bezer, the barrier he had set up suddenly shattered, revealing the trapped figures of the brave team.

"Varied……"

Before he could even scream in surprise, he saw a figure running straight towards him. He caught a glimpse of short blue hair and a white cloak fluttering in the wind. A huge sword pierced through the armor without any hindrance and went through his heart.

Fulilian, who is also a top magician, understood Ye Shanming's operation of breaking the barrier at a glance.

By presetting the space transfer magic formula in both eyes and casting it at the same time, the effect of overlapping two different spaces can be achieved, thus intercepting the magic power.

It’s a pity that the space transfer magic was analyzed by Ye Shanming from the Shadow Zart, and it is only applicable to him. Fulilian cannot learn it, which makes her feel very sorry. After all, her interest is to collect various magics.

After sealing the corrupt sage Guval and killing the undead Bezer, the brave team continued on their journey, still going about their daily routine of helping others and exploring the maze, without any sense of urgency.

Every time Ye Shanming follows the brave team for one or two months, he will return to the magic city. Dealing with affairs is secondary, the main purpose is to prevent Aura from causing trouble.

In this way, it took a full four years before the brave team finally left the Central Kingdom and entered the northern plateau.

Not only Ye Shanming, but also Fulilian sometimes fell into deep thought about the team's slow progress. Can they really defeat the Demon King?

However, it was this team that, ten years after setting out, actually defeated the Demon King who had reigned supreme over the demon clan for a thousand years.

Due to the request of the Southern Hero, Akira Yeshan did not participate in the final battle against the Demon King. When questioned afterwards, no one, including Xin Meier, could clearly explain the specific process of their defeat of the Demon King. They could only describe it in two words -

Miracle.

On the avenue outside the royal capital, a carriage slowly approached. After ten years of experience, Xinmeier, who was much more mature than when he set out, looked at the city wall in the distance and sighed.

"We're almost to the capital."

"We, the brave warriors, have successfully defeated the Demon King and returned victorious. The whole city should be cheering."

Haita closed his eyes and lost himself in fantasy.

"maybe."

Ye Shanming stretched and glanced at him: "At least this time the king won't have to behead you for your careless words."

Hearing Ye Shanming's words, Haita's face suddenly turned the same color as his hair, and Xin Meier couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 10: Taking on everything will only harm you.

When they set out from the royal capital, Aize and Xinmeier were almost arrested and beheaded because they spoke casually during the audience with the king.

"Come to think of it, now that the Demon King has been defeated and the world is almost at peace, I should consider finding a job."

Sinmel watched the city gate approaching, and could even faintly hear cheers coming from within the city. His smile grew gentler. Haita stroked his hair, a look of longing on his face.

“It would be nice to have a job where I could drink.”

"That's a good idea."

Ye Shanming's eyes lit up, and he put his arm around Haita's shoulders and gave him a bad idea: "How about this, let's open a tavern. You provide the capital, and I have the recipe for Emperor Wine. We're sure to make a lot of money."

"Oh! Do you actually have such a precious formula?"

Haita's eyes also lit up, and he quickly gathered with Ye Shanming to discuss: "I regret not being able to taste the legendary Emperor's Wine before in the northern plateau."

Hearing what they said, Fulilian's calm face revealed a hint of helplessness, and she pulled Ye Shanming over:

"Don't harm him."

The scene of being forced to drink Emperor's wine by Ye Shanming and Millialde was still vivid in Fulilian's mind. She felt that she would never forget the unpalatable taste of Emperor's wine.

clang!

clang!

clang!

The huge bell on the city gate tower rang, and the carriage drove into the city accompanied by the bell, white doves flew, and colorful ribbons fell.

The main streets of the royal city were crowded with people. The moment they saw the brave team, cheers surged like thunder. Even though there were guards to maintain order, they still rushed forward, wanting to see the brave men who defeated the demon king in the legend up close.

Several people got off the car, and then the four members of the brave team needed to follow the guards to the palace to meet the king. Ye Shanming was not an official member of the team and did not participate in the final battle to defeat the demon king, so he could no longer follow them.

"You two go and accept the king's reward. I'll find a tavern and wait for you to come back."

"Then be careful. You're old enough and shouldn't argue with others."

Fulilian instructed him, standing on tiptoe and trying to look kind as she stroked his head.

"I am your elder, don't get it wrong!"

Ye Shanming was so upset by her actions that his face was covered with black lines. Xinmei and Haita were laughing so hard that they bent over. Even Aize was shaking all over, obviously trying to hold back his laughter.

He randomly found a tavern on the street. Since everyone in the city had gone to see the triumphant hero, the tavern was empty, even the owner was not there.

Looking at the crowd that kept surging forward, hoping to see the hero with their own eyes, and the guards trying hard to maintain order, a sense of unreality came over him.

The Demon King who had reigned supreme over the demon clan since he came to this world was actually defeated just like that?

Is this the future Shulahat saw? What about the future in which the goddess of heaven and earth reversal appears?

At night, the capital was brightly lit, and in the square, people spontaneously organized a dance to vent their inner joy and yearning for a peaceful future.

Fulilian struggled to get out of the crowd, holding a mountain of food in her arms that was completely disproportionate to her body size. This was her habit. When she came across delicious food, she would eat enough at once, so that when she came next time, she would not find that the taste was completely different.

In the corner of the square, bards were singing poems of heroes that have been passed down to this day. Ye Shanming could even hear the legend of the dragon-slaying hero with him as the protagonist, but most of them were still the deeds of the Xinmei Brave Team.

The children's eyes were full of longing. Xinmei's experience had planted the seeds of becoming brave in their young hearts. It was unknown how many of them would become adventurers when they grew up.

"Ye Shanming, cheers!"

Haita raised his glass and drank the beer in it in one gulp, his face flushed, and he was completely immersed in the atmosphere of carnival.

"All drinks are free today. This place is simply heaven for the goddess!"

"A monk who drinks meat and eats wine."

Fulilian replied calmly, carrying an armful of food and sitting across from the two of them.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the colorful lights illuminated everyone's faces. The people's enthusiasm was even greater. Xinmei looked at the scene in front of him gently.

"By the way, what reward did the king give you?"

Ye Shanming grabbed Haita's neck, poured beer into his mouth, and looked up at Xinmei.

"The king said he would build a bronze statue for us in the square."

As he spoke, Xin Meier lifted his bangs and immersed himself in a rather narcissistic fantasy: "I don't know if the bronze statue can faithfully represent my handsomeness."

"That's really stingy, just giving it away with a statue."

Ye Shanming found it difficult to comment on the king's behavior.

"After all, when we first set out, they only gave us 10 copper coins as travel expenses, so that's normal."

Aize swallowed the bread in his mouth and spoke slowly.

"Is this really okay?"

Xinmeier looked at Ye Shanming, who was drinking with Haita again: "We have been through so much together, but there is no statue of you."

"It's fine."

Ye Shanming patted Haita's back with his left hand. The latter's face turned pale. His fragile monk's body could not withstand such strong damage from the warrior.

"Originally, I was just traveling with you guys, and I didn't participate in the Demon King subjugation war."

As the night deepens, no matter how bustling the scene is, it will eventually come to an end. Most people have gone home, and there are only patrolling guards and scattered pedestrians on the streets.

The five of them walked together in the royal capital late at night, enjoying the peaceful night.

Haita's steps were unsteady. Ye Shanming had drunk a lot of wine tonight. If Aize hadn't supported him, he might have slipped to the ground and slept until tomorrow.

As the night wind blew by, Haita's drunkenness also subsided a lot. He lay on the wall, looking into the distance, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

"It's over."

"yes,"

Xinmeier turned around, his blue eyes reflecting the figures of the four people, and he felt a sense of relief and reluctance: "Our adventure is over."

"It's been ten years without me noticing."

Aize looked at Ye Shanming and Fulilian: "I still remember that in the beginning, Haita thought you two were unreliable."

"Obviously he's just a drunkard."

Fulilian said with disgust: "At first, I had a hangover once a month, but later it started happening once a week."

"How dare you say that to me? You're an elf who's lived for who knows how many years, yet you still fall into a trap like a treasure chest monster. Ye Shanming has to help you every time."

Haita and Fulilian began to expose each other's past. Xin Meier smiled and pulled Ye Shanming aside, saying softly:

"Actually, you are also an immortal, right?"

"Did you see it?"

Ye Shanming was not at all surprised by Xin Meier's words. After getting along with them for some time, he trusted these people and did not deliberately hide anything. It was just that Fulilian had preconceived ideas and had not reacted until now, which gave him a headache. He didn't know how to explain it without making her angry.

Xin Meier smiled, took something out of his pocket and put it in Ye Shanming's hand.

With the help of moonlight, Ye Shanming saw clearly that it was a silver bracelet with a mirror lotus pendant hanging on it.

"This is?"

"How about giving this to Fulilian as a gift as a souvenir of this journey?"
