Chapter 184 : You Fickle Woman!
"Big mud eel, big mud eel, a slimy snake wanting to become a true dragon?"
"Tsk tsk, how shameless, you might fool yourself but you can't fool others."
"Hmm, those two little horns on your head are quite cute."
"ROAR—!!!"
Chu Sang's method of drawing aggro was always bizarrely brilliant.
That arrogant demon king never expected to have its tail injured by a mere human cultivator's arrow. This damned creature not only caused physical harm but also psychological damage, instantly breaking through its defenses!
Its huge eyes turned blood-red as it let out a sky-piercing roar. The flood dragon swung its tail, charging straight at Chu Sang.
Chu Sang's expression turned cold as she swiftly moved, using her movement technique to widen the distance between them, avoiding a fatal attack.
However, the difference in cultivation levels was indeed too great. She was only at the Nascent Soul stage. It was enjoyable to fight those at the Divine Transformation stage across realms, but against this great demon king at the peak of late Divine Transformation, just a step away from Unity stage, it was extremely dangerous and hair-raising!
Her movement technique was so fast she almost became a blur, successfully evading several attacks.
Chu Sang's face bore a relaxed smile, but her complexion visibly paled, cold sweat appearing on her forehead. If she relaxed or paused for even a moment, the demon king's attack would instantly smash into her, turning her entire body into a pulp.
Seeing that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator dared to provoke it repeatedly and successfully dodge its attacks, the demon king roared to the sky in fury. Then its enormous tail, dozens of meters long, swung towards Chu Sang with world-destroying force!
This attack was extremely fast, vicious, and precise!
Mo Qingchen took the initiative to block a sword strike for her. The moment his icy sword intent touched the flood dragon's giant tail, a large patch of scales froze into thick ice.
"Thanks." Chu Sang looked with some surprise at Mo Qingchen, who had risked his life to help her. She said coldly while staring directly at the demon dragon before them, "...You just helped a Tianyan Sect disciple."
The ice formed by the condensed sword intent lasted only a few breaths before shattering into thousands of ice shards with a "boom!" The flood dragon, even more enraged, attacked the two of them.
It was in this brief moment that Chu Sang's talismans took shape. With lightning speed, she stuck them on both of them. Their figures instantly vanished from the spot, reappearing several li away.
Simultaneously, thunder clouds gathered, vigorous lightning power attaching to the Tai'e Sword. Gu Chang'an stepped into the void, spinning as he swung his sword, directly piercing the demon flood dragon's vital spot.
This demon king was originally just an ordinary demon snake king. After accidentally obtaining true dragon blood, it mutated into a flood dragon, but it was far inferior to true dragons, at best just a flood snake.
A huge gash was cut into its supposedly impenetrable, massive body.
Purple-red blood flowed out.
The pain enraged the demon king even further, its eyes almost bulging out blood-red, "You damned human cultivators, how dare you injure me! I will kill you all!!!"
Gu Chang'an, Wu Wo, Chu Sang, Mo Qingchen, Tantai Ming, as well as Shang Ziling and Lin Qi leading the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples, surrounded the demon king from all directions.
Their strength indeed couldn't match the demon king's, but they vastly outnumbered it. At worst, they could fight in shifts, wearing it down to near death.
Big Senior Sister alone was equivalent to an entire sect. After entering the Divine Transformation stage, with her superior sword-controlling talent, she could now attempt to use the Hundred Swords Technique.
Although she wasn't very proficient yet and her spiritual sense couldn't accurately control the direction of each sword, resulting in chaotic attacks, now facing a single target, such precise control wasn't necessary.
Over a hundred swords, tips pointing downward, fell like meteors. Even with random, messy strikes, they still caused considerable damage to the demon king.
Chu Sang directly sent the Primordial Soul-Chaser, her strongest attacker, to join the battle.
"Die!"
The black sword spirit, ghost-like and demonic, split its pale face into a huge grin, extremely excited. With a wave of its hand, a concentrated black sword energy shot towards the demon king's vital points.
Having witnessed the power of this bizarre black sword, the demon king was greatly alarmed. Without thinking, it hurriedly dodged.
The Primordial Soul-Chaser's attack missed.
She frowned slightly in displeasure, leading Big Senior Sister's hundred flying swords to charge again.
Faced with the dazzling array of over a hundred sword energies attacking simultaneously, the demon king couldn't distinguish which was which. It hurriedly reinforced a screen of demonic energy in front of itself, attempting to block the myriad sword energy attacks.
Mo Qingchen and Gu Chang'an also summoned their Long Yuan Sword Spirit and Tai'e Sword Spirit respectively to help.
One with extremely pure ice sword intent, the other carrying the power of heaven and earth's thunder, they blocked the demon dragon's attempts to escape from the front and back, making it impossible to flee another step.
"Are you done over there yet?" Chu Sang glanced at the others not far away.
They had already delayed for quite some time; their teammates should step up their game.
"Don't rush, don't rush!"
Lin Jing had never encountered such an urgent situation. He was sweating profusely, the spirit seals in his hands slightly unstable.
The sword cultivators were doing their utmost to buy time, waiting for the dozens of Eight Trigrams Sect disciples to replicate their sect's heaven-grade restraining formation to trap the demon dragon within.
On one hand, it could restrict the demon dragon's movement speed; on the other hand, it could prevent the demon dragon from attacking nearby areas in its anger, minimizing losses as much as possible. Moreover... considering the cruelty to come, it would prevent this demon dragon from trying to escape midway.
The demon king naturally wasn't stupid. At first, it was distracted by the sword cultivators and didn't notice the small actions of those human cultivators on the side. Now it finally saw—they were actually setting up a formation below??
The formation's aura was extremely powerful. Although it couldn't trap it forever, it could certainly restrain it for a considerable time.
The demon king's expression changed instantly. It abandoned its attack on Chu Sang and the others, leaping towards the talisman cultivators setting up the formation below!
The moment it reached the formation, Cui Xiu closed the hand seal in his palm. The formation was complete, bursting with intense light, instantly trapping that demon dragon within the pre-set formation.
Cui Xiu said, "...Honestly, I've never seen such a cooperative demon."
They had been wondering how to lure this demon flood dragon into the formation, but unexpectedly, it came right into their trap, saving them a lot of effort.
Chu Sang said, "This was all thanks to me."
If it weren't for her extra shout, this demon flood dragon wouldn't have fallen for the trap so easily.
"ROAR!!"
The demon king's eyes blazed with fury as it glared at them, finally realizing that it had been tricked by these damned human cultivators?!!
It desperately released its half-step Unity stage cultivation, surging forth like a tidal wave. If not for the formation, the lower-level Golden Core disciples present would likely have been killed or at least coughed up blood.
The surging demonic power crashed against the heaven-grade formation, merely causing the formation to shake repeatedly. No matter how violently it shook, there were no signs of damage or cracks.
The demon flood dragon angrily exhaled dense white breath. These damned human cultivators were indeed the most troublesome, always coming up with such messy tricks!
It wanted to use brute force to shatter the formation. The transparent barrier formed by the formation looked extremely fragile, but no matter how much strength it used, it couldn't break even a bit of it!
"How long can this formation trap it?" Chu Sang turned to look at Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu said, "For an ordinary peak Divine Transformation stage demon beast, it could trap it for an hour. This demon flood dragon's strength has almost reached the half-step Unity stage, so the effect will be greatly reduced, probably lasting at most half an hour."
"That's enough."
Chu Sang had all the sword cultivators withdraw and released Hong Niang into the formation.
A spider demon beast at the peak of late Divine Transformation appeared out of thin air, a super-large spider taller than a person! The moment it was released, it swept past the sect disciples at close range, almost brushing their faces, bringing a cold, fierce demonic wind. Everyone's hearts nearly skipped a beat in unison.
Even though it wasn't their first time seeing it, experiencing it up close... was still too terrifying.
Fortunately, this demon beast wasn't their enemy, otherwise, they would have been scared half to death.
"Chu Sang looks quite..." Zhao Yun's words trailed off before he could finish.
Never mind, that person's face was too deceptive. A few years ago, she was far from being gentle and cute, and now her true nature was fully exposed. No wonder the demon beasts she raised were so fierce.
In all his years, he had never seen a female cultivator raise such a ferocious giant spider.
"What's so special about that? Little Junior Sister has even more terrifying ones. Do you want to see?" Tantai Ming said languidly.
"That's because you haven't seen our Third Senior Sister. Third Senior Sister has even more strange and varied demon beasts," Mu Chihuai put a hand on his shoulder, opening his palm to reveal a bright red spider as large as a hand, which jumped onto Zhao Yun, scaring him so badly he nearly fainted on the spot.
"Get lost!"
You bunch of freaks!
This whole group from Lingqing Sect was indeed abnormal, all of them freaks!
Seeing Zhao Yun's exaggerated reaction, Tantai Ming felt particularly contemptuous. He actually wanted to say that a mere giant spider was nothing. Little Junior Sister had a ghost king nearly at the Unity stage. Compared to that, the little spider seemed delicate and cute!
These tasteless people who didn't understand the charm of cute spider girls!!
However, since Little Junior Sister's ghost king had devoured that thing in the ghost realm last time, its strength had advanced greatly, almost reaching the Unity stage from peak Divine Transformation.
Its strength was too great.
Little Junior Sister was only at the Nascent Soul stage now. Too large a difference in strength between master and servant could cause backlash, so Chu Sang was also worried she might not be able to control it. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't easily release it... not to mention there were so many sect disciples here. Who knew if the uncontrolled ghost king might go berserk and have a feast of immortal sect disciples.
Tantai Ming didn't dare to say it, fearing that if he did, Lingqing Sect might be isolated by other sects single-handedly.
Chu Sang released Hong Niang into the formation. Hong Niang's species was special and not suitable for fighting in open spaces. This formation perfectly sealed off this area, creating very favorable battle conditions for Hong Niang.
After being fed pure demon cores by Chu Sang for such a long time, Hong Niang's strength had been steadily climbing. It was now at the peak of late Divine Transformation stage, only a matter of time before breaking through to the Unity stage. Moreover, this demon flood dragon had consumed most of its strength. Even with the suppression of the true dragon bloodline within it, Hong Niang was not at a disadvantage in this battle.
The snow-white spider silk displayed its greatest advantage in the confined space. Even though the demon flood dragon was quick and agile, repeatedly dodging the spider silk's attacks and entanglement, once the spider silk multiplied, forming dense spider webs in the space, intertwining and connecting one after another, it had nowhere to retreat or hide!
The demon flood dragon might successfully dodge thousands of times, but it only needed to be caught once to be stuck in that fire and water-resistant spider web, which looked fragile but was harder than giant rocks.
Unfortunately, after dodging again and again, it was caught.
The massive, elongated body was successfully touched by the spider web just once, and in the next breath, it was quickly wrapped in layers of spider webs.
It didn't even have time to break free.
The demon flood dragon angrily spat out a ball of fire, but the spider web was almost completely unaffected. Its eyes nearly popped out as it tried to break free, using all its strength, but the spider web only entangled it tighter!
Chu Sang didn't give it time to break free.
Seeing the demon dragon successfully trapped, unable to move at all, she had Hong Niang withdraw.
Then she drew her bow, aiming at the demon dragon's vital point. As her finger released, an arrow shot forth with overwhelming force!
"Whoosh—"
The fire arrow broke through the air.
Just as the arrow was about to pierce the demon flood dragon's vital point, a mirror appeared in mid-air, blocking in front of the demon flood dragon.
The ancient spiritual mirror grew dozens of times larger with the wind, not only blocking the fire arrow attack but even reflecting it back with the same force!
Chu Sang's pupils contracted sharply. The Mystic Spirit Sword immediately flew out, transforming into an umbrella shape. The sword umbrella opened, blocking this unexpected counterattack.
"Who's so despicable?! Actually hiding in the back and ambushing without honor!!!"
Mystic Spirit, protective of its master, immediately floated out, hands on hips, cursing without any dignity.
The Primordial Soul-Chaser and Karma Burns the Three Realms also transformed, guarding Chu Sang's left and right, vigilantly watching this scene.
One spirit, two spirits, three spirits!
The other disciples were shocked when they saw this, especially the sword cultivator disciples from Ten Thousand Swords Sect, whose eyes nearly popped out at this sight.
Damn, they hadn't seen wrong, this woman... she, she actually had three tool spirits?
And two of them were such powerful sword spirits, one mainly for defense and one for attack.
"No way, no way, others are grateful to have one wife, but you're hiding three??"
Lin Qi was so jealous he wanted to bite his handkerchief. This was too unfair!
He didn't even have one sword spirit, and Chu Sang, who was even younger than him, already had three tool spirits!!
Unable to obtain them, he decided to maliciously slander and defame, "You really are a fickle woman!!!"
"To think that among us honest and faithful sword cultivators, there would be such a fickle-hearted disgrace!!!"
Shang Ziling couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, giving this overreacting Junior Brother a punch, "Shut up."
Every day, instead of focusing on cultivation, he was making a fuss like he had never seen the world, letting other sects laugh at them.
Lin Qi hugged his head and whimpered twice, then fell silent.
"Come out!"
Big Senior Sister narrowed her eyes, staring intently at a spot. Her figure moved like the wind as she swung her sword towards that direction. Several figures hurriedly ran out.
It was Qin Xixue and that group of rogue cultivators.
