Chapter 434: Breaking the Formation to Battle the Demon
Chapter 434: Breaking the Formation to Battle the Demon
"Ao Xuan" struck and killed Rong Daoping with one blow, then flew away without hesitation.
Soon, he appeared in the sky above the Great Luo Sect.
Just as Chu Ning and the others were puzzled about what this foreign heavenly demon was up to.
A thick demonic aura suddenly emanated from "Ao Xuan" and injected itself into the Great Luo Sect's protective grand formation.
The entire protective formation's barrier now carried a faint purple-black hue.
The next moment, the purple-black demonic aura seemed to be enhanced by the formation, shooting out in tendrils from the formation.
The purple-black demonic aura seemed to be able to sense the presence of cultivators.
Three tendrils shot straight towards Rong Daoping, who was already on the ground, and the two Golden Core cultivators from the Great Luo Sect who were still standing.
The two Golden Core cultivators from the Great Luo Sect paled in fright when they saw this.
After witnessing Rong Daoping's fate, they naturally understood that nothing good would come from being hit by the purple-black demonic aura.
They tried to use escape techniques to dodge immediately.
However, the purple-black demonic aura was much faster than their escape attempts.
As soon as they moved, the purple-black demonic aura reached them, and whether it was Rong Daoping on the ground or the two Golden Core cultivators, they were all directly hit by the purple-black demonic aura.
"Ah, he's sucking my essence blood!"
The next moment, one of the Golden Core cultivators shouted in horror.
At the same time, cries of misery echoed from various corners of the Great Luo Sect.
Chu Ning and the others could see with their naked eyes that wisps of bloody light were being sucked into the formation along with the purple-black demonic aura.
Then, they were all channeled into "Ao Xuan's" body.
The two Golden Core cultivators tried to rush out of the formation, but they couldn't.
They only collided with the protective barrier of the formation and bounced back.
Obviously, this formation had already been controlled by the foreign heavenly demon.
"Not good, this foreign heavenly demon is absorbing the essence blood of numerous cultivators.
Now he has reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. If we let him enter the late-Nascent Soul stage..."
Qu Yichen exclaimed, then said without hesitation:
"Fellow daoists, let's break the formation!"
As soon as Qu Yichen's words fell, Chu Ning and the others no longer hesitated and took out their magical treasures, attacking the protective grand formation.
Chu Ning, worried that his purple-black demonic aura would contaminate his magical treasures, took the lead with his Five Elements Spirit Sword.
After all, the Five Elements Spirit Sword was refined from Darksteel and had proven time and again that not even demonic aura could damage it.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword slashed at the barrier glowing with purple-black light, but the formation's barrier didn't show any obvious reaction.
Chu Ning wasn't surprised. If this demon's formation could be broken so easily, that would truly astonish him.
Chu Ning immediately recalled the Five Elements Spirit Sword and slashed again.
Qu Yichen and the others also used their signature magical treasures to continuously attack.
However, what made everyone's faces turn ugly was that despite the continuous attacks from nine Nascent Soul cultivators, the formation only trembled slightly and showed no signs of breaking.
Qu Yichen frowned and said, "It seems that ordinary attacks are ineffective against this formation. Fellow daoists, don't hold back.
If there are any special methods for breaking formations, use them now."
As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman.
Gu Yuexian and the others also took out different treasures and, along with their magical treasures, attacked the lower formation again.
Chu Ning also took out the Five Elements Spirit Sword, but his hand glowed with golden light, and wisps of pale golden gas that were visible to the naked eye flowed into the sword.
It was the Metal Qi of the Geng Metal!
The Five Elements Spirit Sword, enveloped in a five-colored aura, also subtly displayed the infusion of Geng Metal energy, appearing remarkably organic.
At this moment, Qu Yichen, Gu Yuexian, and the others' formation-breaking talismans and various magical treasures attacked the formation's restrictions.
The formation's restrictive barrier finally began to tremble, but there was still no sign of it breaking.
Chu Ning's heart stirred, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which had already condensed a lot of Geng Metal Qi, flew out of his hand and slashed down!
The five-colored aurora landed on the purple-black barrier and was quickly resisted, but at this moment, a golden light suddenly burst from the Five Elements Spirit Sword!
Under this golden light, the tip of the Five Elements Spirit Sword actually penetrated the restrictive barrier glowing with purple-black demonic aura.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Qu Yichen and Gu Yuexian's eyes lit up.
The group had already used all the means they could think of to break the formation, and they had originally thought that they would return empty-handed again.
But they never expected that Chu Ning would be able to break the formation's restriction in one go.
However, Chu Ning's face remained solemn at this moment.
Although the tip of the Five Elements Spirit Sword had pierced the formation's restriction, the purple-black demonic aura on the barrier quickly gathered, as if trying to squeeze the sword out.
Chu Ning immediately flashed next to the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
Holding the sword in his right hand, he continuously injected Geng Metal Qi into it.
Instantly, the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which had looked like it was about to be squeezed out, stabilized once again.
"We'll help Fellow Daoist Chu as well!"
Gu Yuexian said as she manipulated a colorful bell-like magical treasure and continued to attack the lower formation's restrictions.
Seeing this, Chu Ning quickly channeled his spiritual power and Geng Metal Qi into the Five Elements Spirit Sword, inching it further into the formation's defenses.
"It seems it's still not enough!"
As the Five Elements Spirit Sword penetrated about a third of the way through, the formation's restriction remained unbroken, causing a slight glint in Chu Ning's eyes.
In the next moment, he clenched his left fist, causing golden light to surge, and threw a series of punches.
Instantly, golden fist shadows bombarded the area around the Five Elements Spirit Sword, weakening the formation's barrier.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Ning channeled his Geng Metal Qi and spiritual power into the sword with full force!
"Break!"
With a gentle exhortation from Chu Ning, the Five Elements Spirit Sword completely pierced through the purple-black demonic aura's restrictive barrier.
Seeing this, Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and with a mighty exertion, he wielded the sword with force!
A gap several zhang wide appeared in the restrictive barrier.
The next moment, the purple-black demonic aura on the barrier seemed to be severed, rapidly retracting back towards "Ao Xuan."
Simultaneously, the entire formation trembled slightly before dissipating into starlight.
"Damn you! How dare you break my formation!"
A furious roar echoed from the sky.
And "Ao Xuan," ridden with purple-black demonic aura, rushed towards Chu Ning and the others.
"Fellow cultivators, be careful!"
Qu Yichen, having previously engaged with the foreign heavenly demon, immediately shouted a warning.
The group dared not be careless, and they all wielded their magical treasures, attacking the incoming demon.
However, the demon's speed was astonishing.
It left a purple-black afterimage in the air, causing their attacks to miss.
Seeing this, Qu Yichen and the others turned pale.
As the foreign heavenly demon flew straight towards them, they quickly recalled their magical treasures to focus on defense.
"This demon's escape technique is formidable. Don't get separated!"
Qu Yichen was worried that the demon would pick them off one by one, so he immediately cautioned.
However, the demon showed no fear, even in the face of nine Nascent Soul cultivators. With a flash of purple-black, it directly charged into their midst.
"Spatial Escape Technique!"
This was the first time Chu Ning had seen anyone besides himself use a spatial escape technique, and he was slightly startled.
From the direction of its charge, Chu Ning could tell that the demon was targeting him.
Without knowing the demon's true capabilities, he wouldn't dare to recklessly confront its attack.
Void Escape!
As his body floated ten zhang away, Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword slashed down at the spot where he had just been standing.
And at the moment of the sword's descent, a purple-black figure appeared—none other than "Ao Xuan."
The demon hadn't expected Chu Ning's reaction to be so swift. By the time it tried to dodge, it was too late.
"Heh!"
The demon let out a cold laugh and reached out to grab the descending Five Elements Spirit Sword.
A gleam flashed in Chu Ning's eyes as he noticed that these foreign heavenly demons, perhaps lacking suitable magical treasures, often relied on their physical bodies to withstand cultivators' attacks.
If that was the case, he wouldn't hold back.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword collided with the demon's purple-black hand.
"Ah!"
A painful cry escaped "Ao Xuan's" mouth.
The sword had sliced halfway through its palm, and it seemed that its hand would be severed.
But at that moment, purple-black demonic energy surged from its hand, causing the sword to momentarily pause.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the demon's figure flickered, and it disappeared from its original position.
In the blink of an eye, it reappeared over ten zhang away, its right hand half-severed and only barely connected by a strip of flesh.
Strangely, there was no blood flowing from the wound; instead, tendrils of purple-black demonic energy emerged and enveloped its hand.
In the blink of an eye, the demonic energy dissipated, and its right hand was restored to its original state.
Seeing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret.
If he had managed to sever its hand completely and control it, the demon might not have been able to recover so easily.
Nevertheless, "Ao Xuan's" expression turned grim.
"Black Mystery Blade!"
The demon stared at Chu Ning from a distance, its eyes swirling with purple and black, filled with murderous intent.
"Unbelievable! You human cultivators actually found this substance to forge your treasure.
Well done, you've given me a reason to make your death even more painful."
As its words landed, the purple demon flickered and vanished once more.
