Chapter 1846: Chapter 1846: Old Tricks Repeated, Success Every Time

No matter if it was Shi Douxing’s initial act of weakness towards them, or the sudden counterattack while disguised as refugees later, this masked person appeared in both incidents. But now he suddenly emerged from the Willow Leaf Reinforcements outside the city.

This is very, very strange indeed.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have been possible for anyone to leave the city in the previous situation.

Previously, when Sikong Jing rescued Sect Master Zhang and others and deployed two Soldier Killing Arrays, it was exactly under the cover of the Blood Refining Soldier Killing Formation.

Moreover, at that moment, amidst the chaotic smashing of the Spear-shaped Meteor, Changle Emperor was unaware that the masked person right in front of her was the Soldier Formation Master she had just mentioned as having extremely strong control ability.

Even less did she know that Sikong Jing had left the city at that very moment.

Facing Changle Emperor’s questions, surrounded by the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers who were eagerly watching, Sikong Jing under the mask gave a calm smile and responded in a metallic voice: "Take a guess..."

The two words seemed to taunt Changle Emperor, leaving the surrounding people very displeased, knowing well that they were within their encirclement.

Changle Emperor’s face turned cold, and she sneered, saying, "Do you take off the mask yourself, or shall I pull it off for you?"

She no longer bothered with asking more about leaving the city, instead exerting a terrifyingly strong oppressive force on Sikong Jing.

More questions would naturally become clear after capturing him alive.

However, Sikong Jing remained standing upright. He suddenly extended a finger and gently asked, "Do you know what this is?"

On his finger, a drop of blood was swirling around.

Changle Emperor raised her brows at the sight, and then coldly said, "No matter what it is, I’ll capture you first and then rip off your mask."

After speaking, Changle Emperor moved forward, ready to pounce on Sikong Jing.

However, at that moment, Sikong Jing tossed the drop of blood towards Changle Emperor, and then turned to dodge, completely ignoring Changle Emperor’s Emperor Aura, slipping away...

With a bang, he crashed and scattered the surrounding Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers.

And Changle Emperor, without hesitation, used True Qi to disperse the drop of blood that Sikong Jing had thrown, then fiercely pursued him: "Managed to escape my Emperor Aura with a Heavenly King Realm? Unfortunately, any minor trick is useless against me."

While saying this, she was already closing in on Sikong Jing.

The speed of Changle Emperor at the Emperor Realm was naturally much faster than Sikong Jing.

But, Sikong Jing spoke without turning his head, "Indeed, it’s just a small trick, but it works like a charm for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking... roar!

The demon beast mounts belonging to the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army suddenly roared, their terrifying and numerous demon beast auras instantly pressuring the disdainful Changle Emperor.

And the aura of these demon beasts was indeed far too overwhelming, actually restraining Changle Emperor’s chase.

In such a situation, Changle Emperor’s face dramatically changed as she shouted: "Was that just now Fierce Beast Divine Beast Blood?"

In an instant, Changle Emperor realized what Sikong Jing’s drop of blood was under the immense pressure from the roaring demon beasts; only some kind of Fierce Beast and Divine Beast Blood could trigger such frenetic upheaval among the demon beasts.

Especially the already tamed demon beast mounts, only terrifying Beast Blood could possibly cause such a reaction.

"That’s correct, but I’m leaving now!"

Sikong Jing still didn’t look back as he replied, then he swiftly mingled into the aura of various demon beast mounts charging towards him, disappearing in front of Changle Emperor in the blink of an eye.

And what Changle Emperor had to face now were the crazed attacks from those demon beast mounts.

The demon beast mounts thoroughly blocked Changle Emperor’s sight and Spiritual Shadow Power.

"Damn it, get lost, all of you!"

In the next moment, Changle Emperor violently expelled the mad demon beasts with her terrifying Emperor’s True Qi, then unleashed her Spiritual Shadow Power, saying coldly: "You won’t escape, everyone join me in capturing that masked man."

Right now, they were within the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, and Changle Emperor had plenty of manpower at her disposal.

She believed that Sikong Jing wouldn’t be able to hide for long.

However, at this moment, Sikong Jing had already utilized the chaos of the demon beasts as cover, smoothly slipped into the body of one demon beast mount, and instantly knocked out its consciousness, finally merging with its entire aura.

In a flash, Sikong Jing seemed to have completely vanished from the battlefield.

Because Sikong Jing managed to hide, even though Changle Emperor suppressed and scattered the demon beasts that had devoured Sikong Jing’s drop of blood, and even though all the nearby Qianyuan Holy Demon troops mobilized, they still couldn’t find Sikong Jing’s whereabouts.

At this moment, Changle Emperor’s Spiritual Shadow Power continued to sweep wildly, but there was no discovery.

She was dumbfounded, struck dumb...

How could a mere Heavenly King Realm disappear from her view and so many people’s sight?

Suddenly, she had a thought and asked the demon beasts: "What kind of Fierce Beast Divine Beast Blood did he throw just now?"

Upon this inquiry, the demon beast mounts immediately shook their heads, saying they didn’t know...

The amount of blood was indeed too little...

Moreover, in their eagerness to devour, they frantically absorbed and integrated the blood, not even bothering to taste it—a scene that had previously occurred in Hanluan City.

At that time, Sikong Jing had used the same trick to leave Hanluan City, the very technique he had referred to as always working perfectly.

In response, Changle Emperor furrowed her brows repeatedly: "He must be around here somewhere, block off the surrounding space."

With this command, the vicinity within several miles was enveloped in a prohibition barrier, naturally confining the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers as well, ensuring everyone remained within the barrier.

This was in the direction of the mountain forest, yet unaffected by the forces of Nidao City, with the Qianyuan soldiers not yet truly entering the battlefield.

And Changle Emperor suspected that Sikong Jing had already removed the mask and disguised himself as one of her soldiers.

Just as Changle Emperor prepared to carefully search for Sikong Jing, a demon beast said: "If there had been more of that blood just now, we might have been able to identify what kind of Fierce Beast Divine Beast Blood it was."

As it said this, the demon beast wore an expression of reminiscent yearning, evidently having consumed too little.

Changle Emperor naturally paid no attention to it; knowing what kind of Fierce Beast Divine Beast Blood it was was utterly useless, the masked person was human, not a Fierce Beast, and his Fierce Beast Blood must have been obtained from somewhere.

So Changle Emperor began her methodical search.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing remained merged within the ordinary demon beast mount.

He also heard the demon beast’s comment earlier, muttering to himself: "This is my own blood. If I threw out more, I could indeed affect the battlefield, but I would likely be exposed and blown to pieces."

Tossing a bit of blood allows the demon beasts to consume it directly without discovering anything; tossing too much would be too risky for him.

"It’s a pity my realm is still too weak; otherwise, I could directly seize control of the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s demon beast mounts."

Sikong Jing muttered again...

The Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall had indeed many, many demon beast mounts, but a fair number were of Emperor Martial Stage level. If he dared to emit the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, he’d instantly be mistaken for a juvenile Fierce Beast and devoured.

Unless he became demonized and used a Demon Beast form to intimidate the beasts, it was absolutely impossible with his current realm.

Feeling Changle Emperor’s relentless search...

Sikong Jing was confident he couldn’t be found, but in the current situation, he couldn’t stay there long, with Changyi Emperor continuously smashing one Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation after another, while Venerable-level experts struck as well.

The Hundred-man Soldier Killing Formation was the most crucial trump card and weapon in this war, absolutely not to be obliterated too much.

If Sikong Jing continues to stay, Nidao City is bound to suffer a dreadful defeat, resulting in the death of many, many people.
