Chapter 782: Dynamic Vision and the Dimensional Bag (First update, requesting everything)

It can be said that Li Zhangsheng was quite lucky to be able to take down the Demon Commander-level Assassin Demon.

If the Assassin Demon had assassinated Li Zhangsheng according to its usual style, Li Zhangsheng would have had a major headache; it is possible that he would have been the one to die, after all, there is no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days, especially when being targeted by a Demon Commander proficient in assassination.

It was also fortunate that this Assassin Demon was too contemptuous of its enemy, thinking that Li Zhangsheng would be like an ordinary Pseudo-King, to be cut down like vegetables, which is why it did not hide in the shadows and instead tried to kill the other party in broad daylight.

An assassin exposed to the sunlight has a threat level that can be said to have plummeted, and they simply cannot exert their full combat power.

That would be one thing, but it just so happened to run into the hardest iron plate.

Among the many Pseudo-Kings in the entire Fairy World, Li Zhangsheng's strength can be said to be the most powerful existence.

Besides that, the Xuan Kun Creation Stele and the Plane Suppression Secret Technique also helped a great deal; otherwise, whether he could have achieved victory would have been an unknown.

Rather than saying the Assassin Demon was killed by Li Zhangsheng, it is better to say it died of its own arrogance; it was entirely self-inflicted.

Even so, this was still a rather difficult battle for Li Zhangsheng.

In order to take down the Assassin Demon, not only did Li Zhangsheng suffer a certain degree of mental trauma, but Yuangungun and the Crown Sunlight Luan could be said to have directly lost their combat ability, Adai and the Chi Dragon were exhausted, and the other few Demon Pets had also all suffered certain injuries to varying degrees.

Although it was not a pyrrhic victory, Li Zhangsheng gained a relatively objective evaluation of the strength of a Demon Commander; if he had not encountered an Assassin Demon that actively exposed itself, but rather a Demon Commander like a Balor or a Marilith, even if Li Zhangsheng had won, it would have been a pyrrhic victory, and it is possible he would have even paid with the lives of his Demon Pets.

At the same time, through this battle, Li Zhangsheng also roughly confirmed his current level; he can now go toe-to-toe with a New King, but he does not have the possibility of killing a King.

Seeing the heart of the Demon Commander, Wu Zetao finally set his mind at ease, and then flatteringly said to Li Zhangsheng: "Magnificent, Brother Li! This time, you single-handedly killed a Demon Commander with the status of a Pseudo-King; this can be said to be an unprecedented feat, it will surely be recorded in history, unmatched by any predecessor!"

This time, Li Zhangsheng's single-handed killing of the Demon Commander completely refreshed Wu Zetao's impression of him.

Wu Zetao re-evaluated Li Zhangsheng; if he had previously only viewed Li Zhangsheng as a temporary partner, then now he even placed Li Zhangsheng on an equal footing with a King, filled with respect and admiration for Li Zhangsheng, and even developed an urge to cling to his coattails.

The key is that Li Zhangsheng is truly too young; to be able to single-handedly kill a Demon Commander at eighteen, there is even less need to speak of the future.

Judging by Li Zhangsheng's speed of progress, Wu Zetao believes he will definitely become a King within three years, and in the future, he will not be limited to being a King; at the very least he will be a Double-Character King, and even further progress is possible.

This is absolutely a good pair of coattails with extreme future prospects, and one can safely and boldly invest in them.

Thus, in a short period of time, the originally equal relationship between the two suddenly became tilted.

Wu Zetao is just that realistic!

In fact, as long as a person has normal intelligence, they would make a judgment similar to Wu Zetao's.

Compared to Wu Zetao, Zhao Rui felt heartfelt admiration for his own foresight; after defecting to Li Zhangsheng, not only did he easily hunt a large number of medium and high-level demons and have hope of obtaining a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, but Li Zhangsheng also saved his life from the hands of the Demon Commander, preventing him from becoming food for the demons.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng finished processing the corpse of the Assassin Demon.

Besides the heart and claws, Li Zhangsheng also dug out the eyes and Stomach Pouch of the Assassin Demon.

The Assassin Demon's eyes look like a pair of emeralds; as a demon race skilled in assassination, the Assassin Demon's eyes are quite unique, and besides night vision and long-distance vision effects, they also possess the ability of dynamic vision.

The so-called dynamic vision, simply put, is that in the eyes of the Assassin Demon, everyone's movements are as if they have been slowed down, which allows it to easily discern the weaknesses and flaws of its enemies; no wonder it could toy with Aixi time and time again.

It was precisely by relying on its ghostly speed and peculiar eyes that the Assassin Demon achieved its status in the Abyss.

As for the Assassin Demon's Stomach Pouch, this is also somewhat special, because it possesses the ability of "Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed," and can store some items; like a Demon Commander-level Assassin Demon, the internal area of the Stomach Pouch is naturally not small, and it can store a large amount of items.

Such a Stomach Pouch is also known as a Dimensional Bag.

Li Zhangsheng did not check it on the spot; he prepared to check the harvest inside the Stomach Pouch after returning.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng finished cleaning up the battlefield.

"This is not a place to stay for long; we had better change locations. What do you all think?"

Li Zhangsheng was not shooting without a target; in this Polluted Land, Demon Commanders are only in the single digits and belong to the high-level echelon in an absolute sense.

He killed a Demon Commander here, and there is no guarantee that the Demon Lord will not dispatch other Demon Commanders to investigate; it is possible there will be more than one.

For the sake of safety, I am afraid we cannot stay here; Li Zhangsheng decided to change direction to exterminate demons.

The others all agreed, and after discussing it, they decided to head to the outer area to help Zhao Rui exterminate demons.

This time, although they let many Great Demons run away, Ning Bizhen and Wu Zetao both had their own gains, almost locking in their seats for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

In this way, only Zhao Rui still had a significant gap.

Although the demons in the outer area had been exterminated by many of the contestants, the number was still not small; with three top-tier Pseudo-Kings assisting, the possibility of Zhao Rui gathering enough points was still very high.

As for why Wu Zetao was helping, it was not only related to the incident where he and the last Sixth Rank contestant from the Shayi Kingdom backstabbed Zhao Rui, but also because he wanted to maintain a good relationship with Li Zhangsheng.

Additionally, the outer area is superior in safety and is closer to the Bernama Fortress; once the situation is bad, they can escape to the Bernama Fortress as quickly as possible.

"Eh, I seem to have discovered another Heavenly Dao Scroll!"

On the way to the outer area, a smile appeared on the face of Ning Bizhen, who was in the state of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing.

Li Zhangsheng could not help but sigh while rubbing his forehead; Ning Bizhen's luck is truly not just for show. He also activated the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique, so why had he never discovered a Heavenly Dao Scroll?

This was the fourth Heavenly Dao Scroll Ning Bizhen had discovered; Li Zhangsheng felt her luck was not just ordinarily good.

There are only 100 Heavenly Dao Scrolls in total, yet there are more than two hundred contestants; it is a typical case of many monks and little gruel, with an average of two or three people needing to share one Heavenly Dao Scroll.

Additionally, not all Heavenly Dao Scrolls will be found; judging from the results of previous years, generally finding seventy Heavenly Dao Scrolls is considered the absolute limit, and there have even been a few years where it did not even reach fifty.

Yet Ning Bizhen had found four Heavenly Dao Scrolls; Li Zhangsheng could not fathom how a person's luck could be this good. He highly suspected that Ning Bizhen had eaten the legendary luck fruit; this luck clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary people. Things like turning the tide, heaven-sent opportunities, turning danger into safety, and transforming bad luck into good fortune could all be reflected in Ning Bizhen.

In just two minutes, the four of them arrived at the location of the Heavenly Dao Scroll.

This was a giant rock, and the Heavenly Dao Scroll was pressed under the giant rock, only slightly revealing a corner; people who were not careful enough would not have discovered it even if they had arrived right in front of it.

"The Heavenly Dao Scroll is of no use to me anymore, so let's give this one to Zhao Rui!"

Because she had locked in her seat for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Ning Bizhen did not go to take this Heavenly Dao Scroll, because even if she took it, it would be of no use.

This competition is mainly to determine the ten spots for entering the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm; even if one obtains more points, there will be no so-called extra rewards.

Zhao Rui hurriedly thanked her, only to find in astonishment after pushing the giant rock away that there was not just one Heavenly Dao Scroll under the rock, but a full two.

This definitely counts as an unexpected joy; one does not know which examiner was lazy and put two Heavenly Dao Scrolls in one place.

However, with these two Heavenly Dao Scrolls, plus Zhao Rui's accumulation, as long as Zhao Rui hunts a certain number of demons in the final day, he can lock in his seat for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

With three top-tier Pseudo-Kings helping, this naturally does not count as a difficult task for Zhao Rui.

Not long after, the four arrived at the outskirts, and were only about twenty miles away from the Bernama Fortress.

The density of demons in the outskirts is naturally far inferior to the depths, but it is superior in that there are not many people competing for them.

The four had a clear division of labor, driving the nearby demons over and letting Zhao Rui execute the final blow.

Hmm, this plan is exactly the same as the Kailing Empire's team, except the Kailing Empire uses fifteen Fifth Rankers to serve five Pseudo-Kings, while here, three "idle" Top-tier Pseudo-Kings are serving one Sixth Rank contestant.

For Li Zhangsheng and the other two, this is just a small favor, but for Zhao Rui, the significance is different; this allows him to guarantee a spot in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Zhao Rui knows very well in his heart that Ning Bizhen and Wu Zetao are doing this entirely for Li Zhangsheng's sake; otherwise, why would they help him?

He can only hide his gratitude in his heart, deciding to work hard to serve Li Zhangsheng once he returns to the Dai Kingdom.

In this process, another day passed.

During this period, no twists occurred, nor did a second Demon Commander appear.

Boom—

In the sky, the heavily wounded Balor had not yet managed to unleash its Burning Body Explosion when its head involuntarily entered a state of dizziness; Zhao Rui did not let this opportunity slip, immediately commanding several Demon Pets to launch the final strike, ultimately succeeding in killing the Balor.

"Many thanks to the three big shots, my points are definitely enough!"

Zhao Rui took out a heart as large as a basketball from the Balor's corpse, an excited expression on his face.

"Let's go back!"

Since Zhao Rui's points are already enough to guarantee a spot in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, the four of them no longer kill demons; after all, there is no benefit in continuing to kill, and it might even lead to danger.

Furthermore, only two or three hours remain until the three-day deadline.

After packing up, the four of them rode their Flying Demon Pets and flew rapidly toward Bernama Fortress.

But the moment the four of them broke away from the Source of Corruption, an anomaly suddenly appeared in the sky; a mass of mysterious yellow clouds abruptly emerged, rushing toward the four of them with lightning speed.
