Chapter 209 - 111: The Great Defeat of the Demon Cultivators
Thunder howled as Iron Head was instantly engulfed by a massive ball of Great Cave True Thunder.
The Great Cave True Thunder lifted him directly into the air as more streams were drawn toward him, enveloping him completely.
Yang Jing watched Iron Head in the sky. The Spiritual Charm of the Great Cave Celestial Thunders God General was fusing into his body, carried by the surging True Thunder.
’In terms of pure Talent, Yinjiao would have been a better fit to channel the Spiritual Charm,’ Yang Jing thought. ’Unfortunately, his progress with the Supreme Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture is too slow. At the Qi Cultivation Stage, his body wouldn’t be able to handle the strain of a True Thunder infusion.’
The Red Evil True Demon was far from unintelligent. It knew it couldn’t let Yang Jing pull the same trick twice.
Fearing Yang Jing might summon another Thunder Dragon Level opponent, it didn’t hesitate for a second, charging straight for the Jade Platform where he stood.
The Red Evil True Demon was a Warlike Celestial Demon that grew fiercer the longer it fought. Its injuries only served to further awaken its savage nature.
BOOM!
A massive roar echoed from the sky. With Iron Head as its core, the surging Great Cave True Thunder condensed into a Thunder God General. The figure was as large as the Red Evil True Demon, its face indistinct. It was clad in Zha Armor, wore a Hair Crown, and wielded a Golden Spear.
Iron Head felt very strange. It was as if he had vaguely gained countless fragmented memories, but when he tried to focus on them, he couldn’t recall a single one.
But upon seeing the Red Evil True Demon charge his master, he hastily raised the Golden Spear and lunged at the True Demon.
Great Cave True Thunder arced between them as the two instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.
The Red Evil True Demon was a master of unarmed combat, while Iron Head was already an expert in spear techniques. After channeling the Great Cave True Thunder, he had somehow mysteriously comprehended an incomparably exquisite Spear Technique. As they fought, the Red Evil True Demon would periodically rip away arcs of Great Cave True Thunder from Iron Head’s form, but Iron Head would retaliate, piercing its body and leaving several wounds deep enough to reveal bone.
Watching the two combatants locked in a chaotic brawl, Wei Dong’s fighting spirit completely deflated. He could never have imagined that someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage could cultivate two Thunder Techniques—Taixiao True Thunder and Great Cave True Thunder—to such an incredible realm.
It wasn’t just him; most of the Demon Cultivators present were also demoralized. They looked ready to abandon the Array and scatter at any moment.
These Demon Cultivators, united only by greed, were only good at fighting when the odds were in their favor. Now that Yang Jing was revealing one incredible ability after another and the tide of battle was subtly turning, they all began to harbor their own selfish plans.
"Don’t panic! We are deep in the Northern Domain! If we scatter now, Yang Jing will just hunt us down one by one, slaughtering us like animals! Our only chance is to defeat him right here and—"
Seeing the situation was now clear, Yang Jing took a Spirit Talisman from his robes and activated it with his Magical Power.
A streak of red light shot upward and exploded across the sky.
The next moment, a Martial Power Level Flying Boat emerged from a Concealing Array and rose into the sky.
Wei Dong, who had just been rallying his men, stared in utter despair. All his previous composure as a master strategist vanished as he let out an undignified shriek.
"Impossible! My Beast Demons have been watching for any Flying Boat activity in the area! Where did the Northern Army Governor’s Mansion get this ship?!"
Bian Shiyin, who had once placed great trust in him, had already activated a Treasure Talisman, transforming into a sliver of light and vanishing from the spot.
The Demon Cultivators holding the Demon Banners scattered like frightened animals, each using their own escape arts. They didn’t even forget to retrieve their precious Demon Banners and stuff them into their Storage Bags.
Wei Ying let out a deep sigh.
"We should leave, too," he said. "If we delay any longer, we might not get away."
The Red Evil True Demon never expected the Demon Cultivators to abandon it so completely. This wasn’t the edge of the Demon Realm, where the repulsive force of the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane was weak. Now that the Array was gone, the full crushing weight of that force slammed down upon it.
Caught off guard, it was instantly crushed into a hunched position.
Iron Head, of course, would not let such a perfect opportunity pass. He swung the Golden Spear and thrust it straight into the demon’s throat.
The Golden Spear, formed from Great Cave True Thunder, pierced clean through its neck.
Foul-smelling Demon Blood splattered everywhere.
The Red Evil True Demon grabbed the shaft of the Golden Spear with both claws, ignoring the fact that they were being charred black by the thunder. The pressure from the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane was intensifying; it had to break free from Iron Head and escape this world before it was too late.
But Iron Head gave it no such chance. He controlled the True Thunder incarnation and relentlessly pinned the demon with the Golden Spear, preventing it from opening a Mixed Cave to escape.
"Senior Brother Wang Xu! The Void Five Weapons Array!"
Yang Jing yelled.
Wang Xu, commanding the Flying Boat, understood instantly. He ordered his subordinates to activate the Array Restrictions on the vessel.
The Spiritual Eye Object on the Flying Boat instantly released a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. The energy flowed through the Array Restrictions inscribed within the ship, materializing as five Divine Weapons: a Long Spear, a Flying Fork, a Fish Net, a Treasure Sword, and a Golden Brick.
The power of these five Divine Weapons surpassed that of Spiritual Artifacts, though they lacked the fluid adaptability of Magical Treasures. In Magical Combat against a Golden Core Cultivator, a weak Divine Sense from the Array’s controller could make it impossible to lock onto the target.
But against a stationary target, these five Divine Weapons were nearly as effective as any Magical Treasure.
BOOM!
The Golden Brick among the Five Weapons smashed directly into the Red Evil True Demon’s forehead. The immense force of the blow knocked it flat on the ground. Immediately after, the Flying Fork pierced its left leg, the Long Spear pinned its right, and the Fish Net enveloped its torso.
In an instant, the Red Evil True Demon was rendered nearly powerless to struggle.
"Iron Head, kill it!"
Yang Jing said.
’Among all my disciples,’ he thought, ’only Iron Head has yet to meet the requirements for Dao Listening Foundation Establishment. If he kills this Red Evil True Demon, it will be more than enough to qualify.’
Iron Head nodded to his master, pulled the Long Spear free, and thrust it toward the Red Evil True Demon’s head.
The Red Evil True Demon’s Life Force was incredibly tenacious. Iron Head had to use the spear of Great Cave True Thunder to stab its head over a dozen times before it finally perished. Only after using his Grotto Dark Dharma Eye to confirm the Red Evil True Demon was truly dead did Yang Jing draw a Talisman with his Peach Wood Sword and disperse the raging thunder that filled the sky.
The manifested incarnation of the Thunder God General quietly dissipated, revealing Iron Head inside.
His entire body was flushed a deep red, as if on fire. Clearly, controlling the Thunder God General’s incarnation had been no easy task.
Yang Jing flew up and caught him in his arms. He could see that on Iron Head’s system panel, a brand-new Skill had appeared.
[Flying Lightning Demon-Slaying Spear Mantra]
This Spear Mantra was precisely what Iron Head had comprehended while possessed by the Spiritual Charm of the Thunder God General.
’I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise,’ he thought.
"Master."
Iron Head said weakly.
"You did well. Get some rest and recuperate."
Yang Jing said to his most dependable eldest disciple. Then, using his Magical Power, he directed the Demon-Catching Tripod to fly over to the corpse of the Red Evil True Demon.
Facing the intact corpse of the Red Evil True Demon, the body of the Demon-Catching Tripod began to tremble slightly. It had never imagined the day it would feast upon the corpse of a Golden Core Level True Demon would come so soon.
