Chapter 1633 - 425: Demon Spirit Blood Slaughter Array (Part 2)
"Don’t stop! Keep moving forward!"
Yan Jiantong shouted loudly, while channeling all his spiritual power, his skin turning a flush of red. Countless water vapors transformed into Mystic Ice Power gathered in his palm and then blasted towards the array eye core in the direction of the City Lord Mansion.
Reverse Water Spell!
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a resonant dragon roar, a hundred-meter-long Ice Dragon appeared mid-air.
The spot hit by the Ice Dragon, cracks appeared on the formation, and the entire Demon Spirit Blood Slaughter Array trembled along with it.
"Peak of Nascent Soul Realm! Damn human cultivator! How can someone from the Tianyuan Sect have such power!?"
Below, the Wolf Demon was equally shocked, as the suddenly appearing cultivator actually forced back its Black Claw.
"So what if you are at the Peak of Nascent Soul Realm! Dare to ruin this king’s great affair, I will destroy you first!"
The Wolf Demon roared angrily and immediately released two more Black Claws. Together with the original Black Claw, Yan Jiantong was surrounded in an instant.
These Black Claws had been continuously refined by the Wolf Demon using the sacrificial lives of mortals from several cities; their numbers far exceeded just one or two.
For an ordinary demon, possessing so many magic treasures at once would be impossible, but this Wolf Demon, with its formidable strength and recent Spiritual Energy Recovery, swayed freely without restrictions, refining the lives of millions of humans along the way, which resulted in such gains.
Its cultivation too, would have been impossible to reach such a realm so quickly without the essence blood of these mortals.
At this moment, Yan Jiantong was drenched in sweat.
The attack of the three Black Claws left him no room to maneuver, his situation precarious, rendering him able only to barely support himself.
"All Swords Return to the Root!!"
Li Qiang shouted violently, with countless Sword Qi erupting around him, forming a web of swords across the sky.
Tens of thousands of Flying Swords descended simultaneously, instantly shredding the Black Claw that had been entangling him, forcing the Wolf Demon to spit a mouthful of blood.
"Sword Cultivator!!"
The Wolf Demon’s eyes showed a venomous glint as it once again manipulated its three Black Claws to attack Li Qiang.
It simply couldn’t believe that a small fry at the Early Stage of Primordial Realm could shred its magic treasure across a large realm disparity. This was a magic treasure refined by a top-notch expert of the Peak of Integration Realm; indeed, the attack power of this Sword Cultivator was terrifying.
Li Qiang’s strength was not as great as Yan Jiantong’s. Once surrounded by the three Black Claws, he instantly lost his ability to resist, being struck on the chest by one claw, he coughed up blood and plummeted towards the ground.
"Junior Brother!"
Witnessing this, Yan Jiantong was extremely anxious, yet the three Black Claws threatened him, rendering him unable to rescue Li, as even his own life was in peril.
Inside the city, as the formation reignited, countless people let out cries of pain, and some frail elderly people even perished immediately.
"Master...I have...done my best..."
Li Qiang lay on the ground, blood at the corner of his mouth, gazing at the rapidly approaching Black Claw, slowly closing his eyes.
"Brat, who told you to give up and await death like that?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in his ear, causing Li Qiang to open his eyes suddenly and look in the direction from which the voice came.
"Master!?"
Two figures appeared in the sky unbeknownst to him. One of them exuded an immortal aura, white-haired yet youthful, standing on a Flying Sword, a glowing Shield forming beside him.
Beside this elder was another figure in a purple-black robe, shimmering with flowing light, like stars floating, fading in and out.
"Master! And... the Sect Leader!?"
Both Li Qiang and Yan Jiantong were astonished.
While ordinary new disciples might not recognize the man in the purple-black robe, they, as senior disciples of the Tianyuan Sect, knew exactly who he was — their long-absent Sect Leader!
"Master! Sect Leader...you’ve finally come..."
In that instant, Li Qiang felt a wave of relief wash over him, yet even as he relaxed, he couldn’t help but feel himself drifting into sleep.
"Kid, don’t fall asleep!"
Pei Laoliu, noticing this, sent an elixir flying accurately into his mouth from hundreds of meters away.
"Gulp~"
As Li Qiang gulped down the elixir, a surge of warmth spread from his abdomen, the wounds inflicted by the Black Claw healing instantly, with even the residual evil energy dissipating completely.
"Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill... Master, you..."
Pei Laoliu said nothing, looking gravely towards the formation below.
The formation was running frantically, with many people in the Inner City District drained of blood and perishing.
The essence blood gathered at the array eye, forming a blood barrier in the sky.
"Boom...!"
Meanwhile, above everyone’s heads, dark clouds and lightning began to gather, a sign of the advent of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"This demon indeed intends to use our Human Clan’s essence blood to aid its Tribulation. Now that this Heavenly Tribulation has formed, things are bound to become tricky..."
Pei Laoliu muttered under his breath, yet his hands did not pause. As he cast a Sword technique, the Mountain and River Sword behind him transformed into a myriad of Sword Shadows, which rushed towards the formation below.
"No, no good! This is... Late-stage Integration Realm!?"
The Wolf Demon suddenly felt enormous pressure, its expression turning to one of utter shock.
"The Tianyuan Sect, how can they have experts of such realm!! This is impossible!!!"
It never expected there would be a presence on the human cultivators’ side at its level too. The Spiritual Energy Recovery hasn’t lasted that long, it had relied on absorbing a massive amount of human essence blood to climb rapidly to this level, yet how could these cultivators of the Tianyuan Sect do the same?
"Damn it! So what if it’s the Unification Realm? Now, I am at the Peak of Integration Realm! Only one tribulation short of achieving Divinity Transformation! Bringing helpers won’t save you!!"
The Wolf Demon roared in fury, its mind rapidly directing all of its Black Claws towards Pei Laoliu.
Watching the nine rapidly approaching Black Claws, Pei Laoliu did not dare to be careless, frantically channeling his spiritual power, transforming it into fierce Sword Qi that coiled around him.
"Heavenly Origin Giant Sword!"
From the skies, a massive Sword Shadow manifested, then materialized into form, charging towards the nine Black Claws.
"Boom!"
The intense collision produced shockwaves that made everyone’s Qi-Blood churn throughout their bodies.
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand gently, dispersing ripples, anyone touched by these ripples breathed a long sigh of relief, no longer feeling the terrifying impact of the spiritual power shockwave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
In the sky, countless fragments of Black Claws rained down, Master Liu’s hard strike with the Wolf Demon fully gaining the upper hand.
"Humph! Trivial demon race, magic treasures refined through evil techniques will never hold up."
Pei Laoliu snorted coldly, sending another sword strike to smash the array eye below.
The Wolf Demon spit a mouthful of blood, its face filled with disbelief.
"No, impossible! This is a magic treasure refined with a million mortals’ essence blood by this king, how can it..."
Staring at the nearly half-destroyed Black Claw, it couldn’t believe the result.
Actually, Master Liu’s side wasn’t as calm as it seemed, for although Sword Cultivators had formidable and tyrannical attack powers, often killing across realms.
However, facing so many magic treasures at once, he indeed consumed enormous resources, feeling somewhat drained and powerless afterward.
This moment revealed the distinction between cultivators of the martial path and followers of the celestial path.
Without the support of the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul, Master Liu’s spiritual power after such a consuming bout was nearly depleted.
In contrast, the Wolf Demon, although appearing extremely battered, if allowed the battle to continue, the victor would remain uncertain.
