Chapter 435: The Ancient Treasure, a Demon Subduer
Chapter 435: The Ancient Treasure, a Demon Subduer
"Fellow cultivators, beware of this demon's sneak attacks!" Chu Ning warned loudly as he saw the Extrinsic Demon once again using its spatial escape technique.
At that moment, he sensed that the demon wasn't heading towards him. Although the demon's use of spatial secrets prevented Chu Ning from immediately discerning its specific intentions, he could still vaguely guess them.
Having witnessed "Ao Xuan" ambush Chu Ning before, and with Chu Ning's reminder, the remaining eight Nascent Soul cultivators from the Cloudsoar Alliance were now highly vigilant.
Various protective light shields appeared around them, and their signature treasures were kept close by for protection.
In the next moment, "Ao Xuan" flashed and reappeared behind a cultivator with the surname Qiu, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage.
The demon extended its arm, its purple-black demonic energy flashing as it reached for Qiu's back heart.
Although Cultivator Qiu had not sensed "Ao Xuan" for a while, he was still a Nascent Soul cultivator. By the time the demon appeared behind him and launched its attack, he had reacted.
His signature treasure immediately appeared behind him, blocking the attack.
This move undoubtedly saved him. The Extrinsic Demon's palm grabbed forward, and his spirit-infused signature treasure instantly lost its luster.
However, taking this opportunity, Cultivator Qiu quickly fled several meters forward.
Just as "Ao Xuan" was about to make another move, the attacks from the other cultivators arrived.
Qu Yichen's ancient zither and Gu Yuexian's colorful bells bombarded the demon.
But these attacks weren't given much attention by "Ao Xuan". What truly made it wary was Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword, which slashed down directly at it.
This time, "Ao Xuan" dared not use its hand to block directly.
Its hand waved, and a surge of purple-black demonic energy rushed out, transforming into an extremely distorted shape in the air—like a purple snake, it coiled towards Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword.
It was unclear what kind of demonic art this was, but the purple-black light, resembling a snake, emitted a piercing sound as it tore through the air.
The sound was ear-piercing, and it even contained a spiritual attack effect.
The cultivators who were attacking were startled, and they all mobilized their spiritual senses to resist.
In the next moment, the purple snake-like light coiled around Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword.
Although the dark, malevolent energy dissipated quickly, the dense, demonic aura, far surpassing the vibrant, prismatic glow, continued to erode the power of the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately recalled the sword with a thought.
At the same time, Qu Yichen and Gu Yuexian's treasures had also reached the demon.
"Ao Xuan" either grabbed them with his hands or let the treasures strike the purple demonic energy surrounding it.
Under the protection of its demonic art, none of the treasures could directly harm its body.
This turn of events caused the faces of the cultivators present to change drastically.
"Indeed, black profound metal has a restraining effect on Extrinsic Demons like me. However, the power of your treasures is a bit too weak!"
Hahaha!"
"Ao Xuan" let out a loud laugh. In the next moment, his figure flashed, and he once again rushed towards Cultivator Qiu.
This cultivator's signature treasure had just been destroyed by the Extrinsic Demon's previous attack, and now, seeing the demon charge towards him again, his expression changed drastically.
He quickly cast several powerful spells while simultaneously fleeing.
However, the Extrinsic Demon was just too fast.
It casually released a few strands of demonic energy, easily blocking Cultivator Qiu's spells, and then appeared beside him. Its palm, shimmering with demonic energy, struck down.
But at that moment, a slight spatial fluctuation occurred, and Chu Ning's figure appeared beside them.
Holding the Five Elements Spirit Sword, he slashed at "Ao Xuan's" arm.
"Seeking death!"
The demon's palm was about to strike Cultivator Qiu when it noticed Chu Ning's action. It immediately retracted its hand.
Then, its arm twisted strangely in the air, dodging the Five Elements Spirit Sword, and it struck towards Chu Ning with a palm strike.
The purple demon seemed to hold a deep hatred for Chu Ning, as the demonic energy on its palm was far denser than before when it faced Cultivator Qiu.
"Be careful, Fellow Chu!"
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Indeed, Chu Ning had not expected that "Ao Xuan's" demonic arm could twist and attack him at such an odd angle.
However, at this moment, even if he used his spatial escape art, he wouldn't be able to dodge in time.
His thoughts raced, and a faint golden light suddenly appeared outside his body.
It was the Undying Golden Body!
"Ao Xuan" looked at the defensive shield that appeared around Chu Ning, a disdainful expression flashing across his face.
His eyes, however, now held a stronger killing intent.
The purple-black demonic palm struck heavily against the Undying Golden Light shield.
"Hm?"
In the next moment, the demon was left stunned. Its palm, infused with demonic energy and carrying tremendous power, had been blocked.
"What kind of spell is this?"
"Ao Xuan" exclaimed in surprise, and then he vigorously urged his demonic energy. The purple-black demonic energy on his palm seemed to take on a substantial form.
But how could Chu Ning just sit and wait for death? The Five Elements Spirit Sword in his hand slashed directly onto the demon's arm, catching it off guard!
The Five Elements Spirit Sword, infused with dark iron, fully exhibited its restraining effect on External Demons at this moment.
At the same time, the golden Undying protective shield around Chu Ning's body also dissipated into golden specks of light.
The powerful attack from the demon was too much even for Chu Ning's Undying Golden Body to withstand.
"Ah! How dare you injure my physical body!"
"Ao Xuan" roared in fury, and his other hand rose, sending forth the strange purple-black demonic energy that resembled a purple snake towards Chu Ning.
Spatial Escape!
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Ning immediately used his escape technique to leave.
His body reappeared ten zhang away, and he saw that "Ao Xuan" was about to pick up the fallen demonic arm.
Chu Ning opened his mouth and blew out the Yellow Wind Flag, summoning a mud dragon that swept towards the Extrinsic Demon.
At the same time, Chu Ning pointed his finger, and a Void Finger struck out, attacking the demon as well.
At that moment, Chu Ning suddenly recalled that during the battle outside Tianyu Pavilion against the many demon cultivators from the Demon Dao Alliance, the Void Finger had affected the demon cultivators' instant movement technique when they were in their Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing this, Qu Yichen, Gu Yuexian, and the others also attacked with their treasures.
However, "Ao Xuan" didn't pay much attention to them and instead focused on retrieving the fallen demonic arm.
Just as he was about to use his spatial escape technique to leave, Chu Ning's Void Finger struck.
The demon's body trembled as the spatial force around him fluctuated, and his face contorted in astonishment.
His attempt to flee was abruptly halted.
But the demon reacted swiftly, and his body surged with demonic energy, the purple-black aura swirling around him.
Although the purple-black demonic energy dissipated quickly, it managed to deflect all the incoming treasure attacks.
At the same time, the mud dragon summoned by Chu Ning using the Yellow Wind Flag also struck.
It seemed to sense the superior power of Chu Ning's ancient treasure compared to the other treasures.
Demonic energy swirled in the demon's eyes as he spat out a purple beam of light to meet the incoming mud dragon.
However, what happened next surprised both the demon and Chu Ning.
The purple beam of light, which was clearly stronger than the usual purple-black demonic energy, was devoured by the yellow mud dragon.
In the next moment, the yellow mud dragon continued unimpeded towards "Ao Xuan."
The demon seemed taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.
As he saw the yellow mud dragon sweeping towards him, he immediately tried to use his spatial escape technique again.
But this time, Chu Ning wouldn't let him get away so easily.
Although he didn't understand why the Yellow Wind Flag's attack suddenly had such a powerful restraining effect on the demon's attack, Chu Ning's reaction was swift.
As the yellow mud dragon devoured the purple beam, Chu Ning pointed his finger.
Another Void Finger struck out.
The speed of the spatial force far exceeded that of ordinary spells, and the Void Finger hit "Ao Xuan" first despite being cast later.
Although protected by the purple demonic energy, "Ao Xuan" couldn't avoid taking some damage from the Void Finger.
However, the impact of the Void Finger also disrupted "Ao Xuan's" attempt to use his spatial secret technique to dodge.
"Ao Xuan's" expression changed slightly, and his body surged with purple-black demonic energy once more.
A purple-black shield quickly formed in front of him.
At the same time, the yellow mud dragon struck the shield.
Just like the purple beam before, the purple-black shield was instantly shattered by the mud dragon's attack.
After this exchange, the yellow mud dragon had weakened significantly, but it still slammed into "Ao Xuan's" body.
"Ao Xuan" was knocked back a zhang, and his body flickered with purple-black demonic energy.
To everyone's surprise, including the cultivators from the Cloudsoar Alliance and "Ao Xuan" himself, Chu Ning's attack had managed to injure the Extrinsic Demon.
Previously, even the combined attacks of several Nascent Soul cultivators had failed to harm the demon.
Yet now, Chu Ning's casual strike had achieved remarkable results.
Chu Ning was also surprised, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the patterns inscribed on the Yellow Wind Flag.
His eyes lit up as he realized something.
"That's right, these patterns were obtained from the altar beneath the Yu family's estate.
Since they could trap an Extrinsic Demon, they must have some restraining effect on them.
All the patterns on this Yellow Wind Flag are composed of those eighteen talismans, so this ancient treasure might have been specifically designed to counter Extrinsic Demons!"
With this realization, Chu Ning's gaze turned towards the Extrinsic Demon in the distance, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He swiftly waved the Yellow Wind Flag, sending forth beams of yellow light that converged into an even larger mud dragon in the air, rushing towards "Ao Xuan."
