THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
Patches of bloody light exploded one after another. The fierce tigers, True Dragons, phoenixes, and other exotic beasts and immortal beasts summoned by the Fox Demon, Pei Wanchen, were all torn apart, transforming into specks of red and black ink washed away by the torrential rain. Only thirty percent of the power of the Demon Slaying Sword Qi was diminished, and the residual Sword Light continued to slash towards Pei Wanchen.
Imdiately, this great demon sacrificed several strange defensive magic treasures, activating their power to block the sword Qi. Amidst consecutive blasts, all the magic treasures shattered and were damaged, and finally, the Demon Slaying Sword Qi was blocked! However, there was no trace of relaxation on Pei Wanchen's face. Instead, he was both surprised and fearful, his face filled with panic and dread...
He was originally an ordinary fox from Five Dragon Mountain who had achieved enlightennt through cultivation. His origins were not of so rare bird or exotic beast, nor did he possess any Great Path lineage imprinted on his bloodline and soul upon enlightennt. Therefore, when he stepped into Class V, he had mastered a Small Path related to Flesh and Blood and Resentful Spirits. His strength was considered at the bottom tier among Class V great demons and Immortal Masters of the Divine Bridge Realm!
At Hou Corpse Cave, Pei Wanchen rarely fought opponents of the sa level. Most of the ti, he acted as a "master tactician," devising strategies for the Tiger Demon Shan Hao and the Pig Demon Heisha. When fighting enemy powerhouses, Shan Hao and Heisha were always the ones to take action.
Though aware of his own limited strength, he believed that engaging Shen Mo for a few rounds before Shan Hao broke through the Demon Soul Generals Array and escaped shouldn't be a problem. After all, their Realms were not far apart!
But as soon as the battle comnced, Pei Wanchen realized that the situation was alarming.
His strongest killing technique, his trump card, was effortlessly obliterated by a single, casual Sword Light from Shen Mo, which had only lost thirty percent of its power.
Given this, Pei Wanchen clearly judged that the Human Race Immortal Master of Qingyun Cave he was facing possessed combat strength comparable to his elder brother, the Tiger Demon Shan Hao, or perhaps even greater!
Upon realizing this, Pei Wanchen no longer had any intention of confronting him; his only thought was how to save his own life under Shen Mo's assault.
Shen Mo, who had destroyed the blood-marked exotic beasts and nurous defensive magic treasures, stood mid-air, lost in thought. Suddenly, he bead and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, the exotic beasts you summoned indeed show so ingenuity. If you continue to research them, you might comprehend the Great Path of Life and Death in the future, elevating your Dao foundation to the next level."
"Unfortunately, for you, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid there is no 'future'!"
As he spoke, Shen Mo once again unleashed a Demon Slaying Sword Qi.
Seeing this, Pei Wanchen's expression changed drastically. He rolled on the ground, transforming into his original form—a red-haired fox—and began to burrow deep into the mountain rock.
When he was still a low-class Fox Demon, he would dig burrows and occupy the dens of other demonic beasts, which had helped him save his life several tis. He even awakened the Earth Escaping Skill later on. This ti, facing an insurmountable enemy, he once again chose to burrow into Five Dragon Mountain to preserve his life!
The burrowing speed of this red-haired fox was comparable to his usual speed when riding the clouds or using escaping light. In the extrely short mont before the Sword Light struck, he had already tunneled deep underground. The passage was winding and convoluted, intended to block the Sword Light and Shen Mo's subsequent pursuit.
However, he had once again underestimated Shen Mo's swordplay and martial arts.
The mont Pei Wanchen transford into his red-haired fox form and landed on the mountain rock, Shen Mo had already guessed his intentions. Just as the Demon Slaying Sword Qi was about to be fully discharged, Shen Mo forcefully altered its trajectory, changing "Demon Slaying" to "Mountain Splitting"!
Considering the vastness of Five Dragon Mountain, the Mountain Splitting Sword Qi naturally couldn't level it entirely, but shattering a small portion of the mountain was not difficult.
BOOM!
The mountain shook and the earth trembled. A massive crater appeared where Pei Wanchen had vanished. The bedrock and foundation stones in that area were pulverized into fine powder by the Sword Light and blown away by its aftershock. Amidst splattering mud, a red-haired fox was blasted out.
However, with tens of thousands of feet of heavy mountain rock absorbing the blow, Pei Wanchen did not die; only his demonic body was injured by the Sword Light!
The next instant, Shen Mo flapped his Cloud Thunder Wings, transforming into a blur as he pounced towards him...
In less than the ti it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Pei Wanchen was dead at Shen Mo's hands. His unified Essence and Qi, his Flesh and Blood, soul, and demonic power were all drawn into the Soul Refining Flag by the Blood River.
Before long, he would be thoroughly refined into a Soul General within the flag, just like the Single-footed Yaksha Banzhi Jiaming. When Shen Mo found the ti, he could take a Class II peak minor Heavenly Demon Soul General and use it to demon-corrupt them. This would grant him two more Class V Demon Soul Generals in addition to Fairy Pei Yu!
Once I gather nine Class V Demon Soul Generals and use them as array cores, the power of the Creation Array ford by these Demon Soul Generals can be elevated to another level.
After today's battle, perhaps I can harvest more than nine Class V Imperial Souls...
Then, he flapped his Cloud Thunder Wings, parted the curtain of rain, and appeared before four Creation Arrays that were clashing and grinding against each other.
"Liu Sani, you can make your move now!" Shen Mo's eyes glinted sharply as he transmitted his voice through the Prohibition planted in the Snake Demon soul connected to the three won.
Demons like Liu Sani from the Chaotic Stone Stockade, after surrendering to Hou Corpse Cave, had also been bound by Spirit Controlling Talismans bearing Shan Hao's soul imprint. However, Shan Hao was currently trapped in the Demon Soul Generals Array, already struggling to save himself, and thus naturally unable to monitor the movents within the one large and two small Demonic Arrays!
"Understood, my king!" Liu Sani replied swiftly. She, along with several other Class IV Demons from the Chaotic Stone Stockade serving as array cores within the formation, imdiately began to disrupt the array's operation.
The hundred-thousand-strong Demonic Array they were in suddenly emitted CRACK! CRACK! sounds, as if an iron rod had been jamd into a rapidly spinning precision machine. Its offensive power visibly faltered and beca sluggish!
However, being inside the massive array, Liu Sani and the other Class IV Demons from the Chaotic Stone Stockade lacked the strength to completely disrupt the already operational Formation. After all, no matter how high their cultivation, they could not withstand the combined force of over one hundred thousand Class II and higher-level Demons. Reaching this stage was already their limit!
Soon, Liu Sani and the other Chaotic Stone Stockade Demons were caught and crushed by the array's montum. Each of them spat mouthfuls of blood, suffering heavy injuries, and were no longer able to interfere with the Demonic Array's operation...
"That's enough," Shen Mo murmured, then imdiately ordered the Red Fla Sect's big array to crush the now-flawed hundred-thousand-strong Demonic Array with its full might.
In his original plan, he hadn't anticipated that Liu Sani and the other Demons from Chaotic Stone Stockade would be willing to "rebel" against Hou Corpse Cave with him. Therefore, before Liu Sani's voice transmission, he had only planned to use his own strength and the power of the Red Fla Sect's big array to forcibly break through the three Demonic Arrays.
Doing so would have cost him considerable effort.
Now that Liu Sani and the other Chaotic Stone Stockade Demons were willing to disrupt the Demonic Array's operation, he was naturally pleased and slightly adjusted the minor details of his plan.
Following Shen Mo's command, Yuan Heming, Situ Huo, and other Golden Core Realm cultivators serving as array cores for the Red Fla Sect's big array began to adjust their formation, directing its power to bear down on the Demonic Array where Liu Sani was located.
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
Thunder roared, lightning flashed, flas blazed, fiery light erupted, astral winds howled, sand dust swirled, blade lights glead, and Blood Shadows flickered...
Amidst the flashing of profound runes, this hundred-thousand-strong Demonic Array violently exploded!
