In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Niu Yin was able to escape from Shi Man several times. Although there was a suspicion that Shi Man let him go, his thunder escape technique must definitely be guarded against.

Besides, Niu Yin is a cultivator of the Demon Sect after all. If this guy were to go all out and self-destruct, it would cause considerable damage to Lu Yuan and the other two.

Therefore, the three of them understood that if they had to deal with this guy, they had to not move at all, but if they moved, they had to kill him with one strike!

He saw that the spiritual senses of Lu Yuan and the other two were all locked onto him and were getting closer and closer, blocking any possibility of his escape.

Niu Yin was sweating profusely. Driven by his strong desire to survive, he suddenly thought of a way and shouted, "Wait a minute, the three of you! I have a plan. If the four of us work together, we will definitely be able to kill Shi Man!"

"Even when the three of us joined forces, we couldn't last more than a few rounds against Shi Man. Even if you're added, what use can you be?" Lu Yuan said sarcastically, but the approaching figure stopped.

"Brother Yuan's words may be rough but the truth is there. My level of cultivation does not pose a threat to Shi Man, but we can borrow external forces!" Niu Yin sneered at Lu Yuan's sarcasm, and then immediately said with a serious face.

"External force?" Shi Die and Shi Xiao also stopped approaching.

Seeing that Lu Yuan and the other two seemed to be persuaded, Niu Yin hurriedly continued, "I can make Shi Man's heavenly tribulation come down earlier and use the power of heavenly thunder to deal with him."

“Even if Shi Man’s magical powers are far superior to ours, so what? Let’s not talk about whether he can really survive the heavenly tribulation. Even if he does, his vitality is severely damaged. How can he escape from the combined efforts of the four of us? He will still be doomed to be shattered!”

Heavenly Tribulation!

Lu Yuan and the other two looked at each other.

"This is not the place to talk. Shi Man may chase us at any time. We need to find another safe place to discuss this in detail." Lu Yuan nodded, somewhat agreeing with what Niu Yin said.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Niu, we will use the power of Shi Lun to conceal your aura so that Shi Man cannot find you through the mark for the time being. But let me be frank with you. If you dare to lie to us, hmph!"

Shi Die and Shi Xiao uttered a harsh word, and without waiting for Niu Yin's response, they quickly released their respective Shi Lun powers and wrapped around Niu Yin.

Niu Yin hesitated slightly, but in the end he did not dodge, allowing himself to be overwhelmed by Shi Lun's power.

......

About a quarter of an hour later, Shi Man really caught up with them, but Lu Yuan and his companions were no longer there.

Seeing this, Shi Man used the same trick again and released the blood-red evil light to track Niu Yin again. The result was naturally the same situation as Lu Yuan's before. The evil light ran up and down like a headless fly and could not sense Niu Yin's position at all.

"It's Shi Lun's power again. I want to see how long you can last!" Shi Man muttered to himself grimly.

......

In a mountain range thousands of miles away, there are towering peaks everywhere that are thousands or even tens of thousands of feet high.

Among these peaks, in the belly of an inconspicuous mountain, Lu Yuan and his four companions gathered together to discuss something.

"Mr. Niu, if you want the heavenly calamity to come down early, the one who is suffering from the calamity must cooperate. Do you have a way to make Shi Man listen to you?" Lu Yuan stared at Niu Yin and said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan is right. The cooperation of the person who is suffering from the calamity is indeed needed. However, this is only true when the person's calamity has not yet arrived. I remember Fellow Daoist Shi once said that Shi Man's calamity should have come long ago, but it was delayed until now using secret techniques, right?" Niu Yin nodded to Lu Yuan first, then looked at Shi Die and asked.

"Yes, Shi Man's heavenly tribulation should have come more than four hundred years ago. But at that time, the Great Elder found my father, and the two of them worked together to use a secret technique on Shi Man, which delayed his heavenly tribulation for more than five hundred years." Shi Die replied without denying.

Niu Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said with a smile: "That's no problem, as long as we break his secret technique to delay the heavenly tribulation, we can make the heavenly tribulation come immediately!"

"How to break it? That was the combined power of two demon lords used on him." Shi Xiao asked with a frown.

“It’s very simple. I have a Lightning Orb that can use the power of thunder and lightning to simulate and evolve part of the power of the heavenly tribulation. Although its power is less than one thousandth of the real heavenly tribulation, as long as it strikes Shi Man, it can break the secret technique on his body and lead to the real heavenly tribulation!” Niu Yin laughed.

"It sounds good, but I have to remind you one thing. After Shi Man advanced to the Demon Sect, he has already withstood three great heavenly tribulations. Moreover, more than four hundred years ago, when Shi Man was still in the middle stage of the Demon Sect, my father once said that as long as there was the rich earth attribute power in the holy land to help, Shi Man at that time would have no problem with withstanding the fourth great heavenly tribulation even if he did not borrow treasures.

Now he has advanced to the late stage of the Demon Sect, and his magical power is close to that of the Demon Lord. Even if the power of the heavenly tribulation has increased due to the delay of hundreds of years, the impact on him may not be as great as we imagined. "Shi Die reminded solemnly.

Lu Yuan, who had originally shown a little relief because of Niu Yin's words, became tense again when he heard this, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes from time to time.

The greater the great tribulation, the more terrifying it is. Especially the great tribulation after advancing to the Demon Sect, it is extremely dangerous from the first time. For example, there are many people in the ancient demon world who died in the first tribulation. Shi Man was able to survive three times, and when he was in the middle stage of the Demon Sect, it was no problem for him to survive the fourth great tribulation. This shows that he is more terrifying than he knew.

"What? The Demon Sect's middle stage doesn't take the fourth great heavenly tribulation seriously? Then why does he want to delay the coming of the great heavenly tribulation and force himself to make it difficult?" Niu Yin was also dumbfounded after hearing this.

"This is related to the technique that Shi Man practices. He practices the most mysterious technique of our Shi Mo clan, called 'Mountain God Technique'. This technique is extremely difficult to practice, especially in the early stages of each major realm. It takes a lot of time to temper the body and consolidate the foundation, so the advancement speed is very slow. Otherwise, Shi Man, who is now more than 10,000 years old, would have already achieved the position of Demon Lord.

And hundreds of years ago, it was the critical moment for him to temper his body, so he delayed the arrival of the heavenly tribulation." Shi Die explained.

"Normally, when Sister Die and I work together to cast the Shilun Totem, we are able to fight off most of the late-stage Demon Sect's existence. But when facing Shi Man, we have almost no ability to resist. Therefore, his current physical strength is probably already at the level of a Demon Lord." Shi Xiao also added.

"Hmph! That doesn't matter. As long as Fellow Daoist Yuan is willing to help me with all your strength, even if Shi Man becomes a true Demon Lord, he will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed by the heavenly calamity!" Niu Yin's face changed for a while, and suddenly he turned to look at Lu Yuan.
