Chapter 46: The Staff of the Great Mage Merlin

The delicate human woman’s face was pale, her large eyes brimming with terror. As she was thrown by the Second Prince, she was about to collide with the sharp bronze halberd when, at that moment, Fengyun Wuji’s long robe fluttered, and he transformed into a wisp of light smoke, vanishing on the spot.

The Second Prince’s pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly roared, “Now is the time! Kill him!” Having spoken, he took the lead in making a move. With a punch from his right hand, the ‘Demonic Emperor’s Formula’ that had reached a minor level was already in action. The thick, destructive purple energy surged from his hand, heading towards the human woman.

Dozens of demons who had been motionless also struck simultaneously, launching their most powerful attacks. The sound of rumbling filled the air, and black lightning sealed off the space where the woman was located. A smile appeared at the corner of the Second Prince’s mouth, thinking, “Although I can’t capture your figure, as long as you enter this space, you are undoubtedly dead.”

Sure enough, Fengyun Wuji’s body appeared behind the human woman, his face stern. Seeing that the Second Prince and the demons had launched an attack, Fengyun Wuji looked calm. He slowly but actually quickly extended a hand, clamping it like a pair of pliers on the woman’s slender neck. With a slight effort, the woman widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Fengyun Wuji, then tilted her head and died. In her right hand, a dart-shaped strange weapon that was only two inches away from Fengyun Wuji fell to the ground and turned into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a thin fishbone on the ground.

“You did well, but you forgot to cover the smell on you,” Fengyun Wuji said coldly. He casually threw the woman’s body towards the Second Prince and others. The corpse flew less than ten feet before encountering the attack launched by the Second Prince and others, violently exploding on its own. The powerful shockwave slowed down the attack of the Second Prince and others, and Fengyun Wuji had already made a move, like lightning, breaking through layers of bodies and disappearing into the rock layer above.

From afar, Fengyun Wuji’s voice faintly came through: “Second Prince, I’ve remembered you, hehe. Such a poor trick, using a demoness as a human woman, tut-tut, two demons mating in front of me, is your interest in this? Is your wisdom only this much? Or is it that demons all have pig brains?”

When Fengyun Wuji’s hand touched the woman’s neck, the Second Prince had a faint feeling that the plan had been seen through by him. The attack launched was also used by Fengyun Wuji, who used the demoness’s body to detonate a large amount of demonic energy to slow down the attack. Hearing the sarcastic voice again, he couldn’t help but get furious.

“Come on! You fools, kill him, he can’t escape, and if you don’t bring his head back to me, you’ll bring your own heads.” The Second Prince looked at the big hole on the top of his head and gnashed his teeth.

“Yes!” Dozens of middle-ranking demons responded loudly, and then they took to the air one after another, successively disappearing into the passage that Fengyun Wuji had forcibly opened.

“Merlin the Great Mage, restrain his actions!” The Second Prince thought for a while and suddenly said to a black-robed mage beside him, showing a look of regret on his face: “Why didn’t I think of it earlier!”

The Second Prince was regretful, just now he didn’t think of letting the black-robed great mage Merlin restrain Fengyun Wuji’s speed and limit him. Of course, it’s not entirely his fault. Even in the Demon Realm, magic is not the royal road, and what is truly valued is still the demonic skills and demonic formulas.

“Understood!” The old mage with a face full of wrinkles and wearing a large black hood stretched out his right hand like a withered branch, drawing a circle in the air, then closed his eyes, and uttered strange syllables that were high and low and could not be distinguished.

Then a faint black smoke emerged from Merlin’s wide black robe, gathered along the thin hand to the palm. The more the black smoke gathered, the more it swelled, and in Merlin’s hand, it formed a nearly one-zhang long black staff. Merlin’s voice suddenly became high and fast, and the earth, rock layers, and air all trembled in this voice, with rustling stone powder falling from the top.

In the midst of this earth-shaking and mountain-roaring sound, Merlin slammed the black staff into the ground, inserting it into the ground’s rock, and then a series of rumbling sounds came from the surrounding underground. Everyone was panicked in this shaking.

Above the head, the rock with holes gradually closed in front of everyone’s eyes, and even some large rocks that had fallen also returned to their original positions under the action of this strange force, fitting in perfectly without any flaws, as if they had never been damaged.

The demons all looked at Merlin in horror, obviously not expecting the old mage to have such great power.

However, Merlin still had his eyes closed, holding a staff with one hand and the other hand open. The Second Prince knew that the mage had already displayed his divine powers, searching for Fengyun Wuji in the vast underground rock layer. Under the effect of the secret technique, the entire underground water prison’s rock layer is now under Merlin’s control, integrated with him.

Speaking of Fengyun Wuji, he took advantage of the situation and killed the beautiful demoness in front of the Second Prince, and then left with pride, which made the Second Prince furious. Then he turned around and did his best to use his body as a weapon, blasting an upward passage in the hard rock layer.

I don’t know how long it took, suddenly, Fengyun Wuji felt a strange darkness coming, which was a very strange feeling, unrelated to vision, completely a subconscious feeling. Then, Fengyun Wuji felt that he couldn’t move, stuck in the rock.

The surrounding rock seemed to melt in an instant, turning into a tenacious liquid that surrounded and tightened, with several huge and sharp stone pillars slowly advancing.

Ah! Fengyun Wuji roared wildly, exerting all his demonic energy, and with a bang, he blasted the surrounding rock, blasting a cave just big enough to accommodate himself. However, soon after, the surrounding rock surrounded again, like a living creature.

A violent explosion came from below, and the divine consciousness scanned, but more than a dozen vicious demons had already rushed up.

“Human, you can’t escape, even if you get past me, there is the boundless netherworld sea outside, even high-level demons dare not claim that they can pass through there, let alone you. Now, take a rest for a while.” An old voice echoed in Fengyun Wuji’s ear, and then a strange force stroked Fengyun Wuji’s soul…

Drink! Fengyun Wuji was not surprised but happy, and he shouted loudly, exerting all his divine consciousness and rushing to meet the strange soul force.

Boom!

It seemed that an earthquake and sky collapse explosion had occurred in the mind, making people see stars in front of their eyes. Fengyun Wuji’s spiritual power was not yet comparable to that of the mysterious old man, but it was more than enough for Merlin, who was not a specialist in spiritual energy.

After one strike, the binding force around suddenly disappeared, and the rock became hard and brittle again. Fengyun Wuji hurriedly blasted a punch and opened a passage to the netherworld sea…

In the water prison, the demon mage Merlin, who had been silent and thoughtful with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the black staff in his hand suddenly exploded in the coughing, turning into a cloud of ash. After that, Merlin’s thin body fell straight to the ground like a bamboo pole…
