Chapter 496: Fierce Battle Against the Dragon Palace General
Chapter 496: Fierce Battle Against the Dragon Palace General
A cultivator like Liu Shiqian, who could open two great cities and retrieve the Phoenix Heavenly Soldiers, was not only formidable in Southern Flood, but also in all of Hongze.
Ordinary demons and monsters would never dare to provoke such a powerful existence.
Even those qualified to fight against him were few and far between, each with a formidable reputation.
But today, five such powerful demons and monsters appeared all at once!
Aside from immortal sects, any top-tier force would only be able to watch helplessly as they faced such an overwhelming situation and their inevitable destruction.
At this moment, they had gathered in the Immortal Cave.
Even this secret realm seemed a bit cramped.
Wu Jun's wild laughter echoed endlessly around them. With a sudden force from his massive front claw, he sent the trunked water elephant, covered in wet scales, flying!
Boom!
This sudden attack instantly shattered the temporary eerie calm within the Immortal Cave.
Originally, it was three Dragon Palace generals against one, but now the situation had reversed.
Even Liu Shiqian momentarily suppressed the shock and astonishment in his heart, and his solemn face gradually revealed a hint of killing intent.
It was clear that the ancient Elder Chi Yang's emotions were not as calm as they seemed on the surface. He had obviously been holding back his anger during the previous battle.
He stared at the massive figure charging towards him, and his hand holding the Crescent Moon Saber suddenly flipped.
The blade swept through the sky, stirring up a burst of azure light.
This pure azure light, compared to Su Hongxiu's previous sword strike, lacked grandeur and seemed rather ordinary. However, the sharpness within it seemed capable of cutting through anything in the world.
"Hiss!"
The three-headed serpent demon's vertical pupils flickered uncertainly.
Although they were one person short compared to their opponents, with three against four, Liu Shiqian's state was clearly listless and he was barely holding on. After a few more exchanges, it would essentially be three against three.
Winning would be difficult, but preserving himself shouldn't be a problem.
With this thought, the three-headed serpent demon finally made its move. Its necks suddenly extended from its shoulders, like three ferocious dragons attacking Liu Shiqian from different directions.
Aside from bloodline abilities, one of the important criteria for demons and monsters to be comparable to White Jade Capital was whether their bodies could withstand the Spirit Armament retrieved from the great cities.
These three Dragon Palace generals had previously managed to suppress Liu Shiqian almost without any damage.
This was enough to prove just how formidable their bodies were.
At this moment, the three-headed serpent demon stood in its original position, and its three necks extended from its shoulders, instantly reaching Liu Shiqian's sides, blocking all his escape routes. The last neck coiled around the trunked water elephant's body, trying to pull it back.
Just as the huge mouth, as big as a basin, was about to swallow Liu Shiqian whole...
Chi Yang held an iron token in his hand, which was his Phoenix Heavenly Soldier. As for the milky white light released from the second Crimson Bright Metropolis, it transformed into a Spirit Armament—a heart-protecting bronze mirror.
He was about to make his move.
Suddenly, a ferocious hiss rang out by his ear, like a painful cry.
The two huge serpent heads couldn't get within three zhang of Liu Shiqian before they were each grabbed by a sharp claw and slammed to the ground!
The last serpent reluctantly let go of the trunked water elephant.
Behind it, a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth approached, ugly and bloody, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye. It swiftly swallowed the last serpent head.
"Roar!!"
The three-headed serpent demon was overthrown and pinned down by the winged silkworm's wings.
It held one serpent head in each hand, greedily chewing on the serpent demon's head.
Compared to this towering figure, the serpent demon's originally large body suddenly seemed somewhat fragile. It struggled fiercely but couldn't break free for a while.
Its tail, like a cast iron bar, continuously slammed into the winged silkworm's body, shattering its body and causing rocks to rain down.
"Hehehe!"
However, the winged silkworm only let out a strange, sinister laugh, as if it felt no pain. It tried to swallow the serpent demon whole, and its saliva made the serpent demon's already wet body even slicker.
Puchi—
The trunked water elephant, which had been bound by Wu Jun's palm with golden patterns, could only face Liu Shiqian's saber strike after being abandoned by the serpent demon.
The instant the azure light burst forth, a deep gash appeared on its head, and a large piece of flesh, along with its entire trunk, was severed, splattering putrid demon blood.
Liu Shiqian landed the strike but didn't show much joy.
Instead, he instinctively turned his slightly strange gaze towards two entangled figures writhing on the ground in the distance.
The winged silkworm's sharp laughter drowned out the three-headed serpent demon's miserable wails.
It was like a villain oppressing the innocent, pinning down the serpent demon's other two heads, its voice growing more excited as it said incoherently, "Scream! Hehehe! Scream!"
After receiving the blessing of the demonic essence, these foundation stones couldn't help but accumulate deep resentment.
As Shen Yi moved to slay the demon, it was probably their only chance to vent their frustration.
"Damn, hold back a bit."
Wu Jun spat out a curse, contemplating whether to suggest to his master that he should avoid bringing this one out in the future, as it was simply tarnishing his master's immortal reputation.
Feeling the Water Elephant, writhing in intense pain, about to shatter the golden patterns all over its body, he stepped into the air and pounced, knocking the Water Elephant to the ground.
The four massive demons immediately fell into a chaotic battle, each a terrifying giant, engaging in the most bloody and primitive form of combat!
The ground rumbled incessantly, and demon blood splattered everywhere.
The only remaining, fat, sharp-toothed fish demon stared intently at the Chi Yang elder and suddenly growled, "You've broken the rules!"
Elder Chi Yang silently glanced around.
This place was the Immortal Cave.
He raised his head and summoned the iron token, saying indifferently, "Who knows?"
In the next moment, the iron token descended like a mountain.
The palm-sized token slammed down, pinning the fish demon to the ground. The token was as heavy as the Five Great Mountains, crushing the fish demon's scales and pressing into its flesh.
"Old Liu! Kill the fish!"
Elder Chi Yang laughed maniacally, then froze, turning back to see Liu Shiqian's Crescent Moon Saber dissipate into a green light, his entire body swaying unsteadily before collapsing to the ground.
Bang.
The fish demon's habitual silence made everyone underestimate his injuries. Liu Shiqian's arms were bulging with veins, his face expressionless as he tried to get up, attempting to grasp the green light and re-form it into the Crescent Moon Saber. However, he fell back down again.
A shadow of gloom and self-reproach flashed across his face.
Sect Leader Shen had prepared to overwhelm the fish demon with numbers, but the problem still arose here.
Elder Chi Yang alone could not match the fish demon, a general leading a demon army.
"Huff... Huff..."
The fish demon's gaze shifted over, its despair vanishing as it instinctively emitted a surprised laugh.
Even its body, pinned down by the iron token, began to tremble slightly.
Its aura surged again, though its knees trembled uncontrollably, it slowly stood up, as if carrying a mountain on its shoulders, taking an extremely difficult step forward.
Boom—
The hall shook, as if it were about to collapse entirely.
"Damn it."
Elder Chi Yang suddenly felt a bit panicked. He was not without other offensive means.
But there was no way he could kill the fish demon before it reached Liu Shiqian.
He could only once again summon the rainbow, pouring all its energy into the iron token, trying to pin the fish demon down again.
Crack! Crack!
Under the iron token's pressure, the fish demon seemed to shrink by several feet, its bones shattering.
But as a battle-hardened general of the Dragon Palace, it could see this was its only chance.
It also mobilized all its demon power, enduring the intense pain, and took steps forward. Its target was not Liu Shiqian, but the exit behind him.
As for this Clear Moon Sect elder, it was merely a token achievement to be taken away before leaving.
"Phew..."
The actual gap between Elder Chi Yang and the fish demon was not significant; they were roughly at the same level. But to protect another exhausted cultivator in front of it, he needed to be far stronger.
At this moment, he finally panicked and shouted, "Sect Leader Shen, do you have any other spirit puppets? Quickly save this old man!"
But Shen Yi's response made his heart sink.
He heard a soft voice say, "None left."
Like Ke Shi San, these foundation stones were virtually useless against demons with the cultivation of opening two major cities.
"None is good... None is good... Sect Leader Shen... Do you know... you almost scared the life out of this general..."
The fish demon laughed and cried, its voice trembling.
In such a life-or-death situation, even with its temperament, it could not help but reveal some of its true, ugly nature.
Who would have thought that a cultivator seemingly in the late stage of Return to Void could produce two terrifying spirit puppets capable of shaking a top-tier force at any moment?
"Since there are none... this general will not be polite!"
As the iron token was about to crush its spine, the fish demon finally reached Liu Shiqian. Its nearly distorted face showed more greed and ferocity.
It crouched, towering over Liu Shiqian on the ground, then brought down its broad palm with a fierce strike!
But it did not touch Liu Shiqian's body; the palm wind merely lifted his black robe.
Shen Yi stood in front of the stern elder, also extending his hand toward the fish demon. His movements were slow and smooth, with no ripple of energy, his clearly defined fingers slightly raised.
It was less of an attack and more of a warning for the fish demon to stop.
"..."
Chi Yang was stunned, his eyes wide open. He never expected that without the protection of Ling Gui, Shen Yi would dare to stand before the fish demon once again.
He hadn't even dared to let Shen Zongzhu take away Old Liu.
It was because in front of such a terrifying demon, a late-stage Void Return cultivator was too weak, so weak that even the slightest insignificant action could lead to their demise.
Liu Shiqian was also in a daze.
Aside from not understanding why Shen Zongzhu would risk his life to help, there was an even more important reason...
In the moment that hand was raised.
The fish demon truly stopped.
This was a situation that was hard to comprehend.
The large and small silhouettes seemed frozen in place, the fish demon's eyes fixed on Shen Yi.
In an instant, its body, which even the iron tablet couldn't crush, suddenly knelt and collapsed to the ground!
Along with a faint sizzling sound.
Countless holes appeared on the fish demon's body, and gushing fountains of blood erupted, making its entire appearance instantly pitiful.
Fortunately, this pitiful sight didn't last long.
After a few breaths, as if an invisible saber had descended, the fish demon was cut into more than ten pieces, scattering on the ground with a series of clatters.
The round eyes, refusing to close even in death, became increasingly swollen.
Within them, a scene unseen by others was hidden.
Amidst the dark night sky, stars filled the heavens.
It had previously pushed against the iron tablet, using all its strength to brush aside the stars, causing the entire sky to dim and become lifeless.
But when the light faded, in this lifeless void.
A crimson Dao Palace appeared, hidden and revealed.
Beneath the Palace of the Infinite Demon Emperor.
That tall and slender figure hung in the sky, its body encased in the ancient Gui Xu Immortal Armor, like a divine general.
As his black hair swayed, his eyes were filled with purple intent, more dazzling than the stars before.
He held a dragon spear in his hand.
A drop of blood fell from the tip of the spear, staining the sky with a bright red hue.
Until the very end.
The night sky receded like a tide, and the red hue gradually solidified into a blinding blood talisman on a white palm.
This was the fish demon's last sight.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi slowly bent his finger, retracting his hand, and the fingertips hidden within his sleeves trembled with exhaustion.
Sure enough, the Tian Yan Si Jiu calculation wasn't a particularly profound spiritual method. Even if it reached the perfect realm, it would still be seen through by such a powerful demon, and it couldn't be used as a decisive killing move.
In the end, it was still the No Birth Palm.
As the ink robe fluttered, a layer of light red suddenly appeared, and the faint scent of blood wasn't very noticeable amidst the strong smell of demon blood.
Shen Yi's already pale face now looked slightly sickly.
This was the price he had to pay to use the No Birth Palm to stop the demon's escape.
The last time he paid a similar price was when he fought to the death with Zhang Laifu in the Nan Yang Sect.
Moreover, at that time, he had the full assistance of Chi Yang's Qing Luan Heavenly Soldier.
No wonder there was a separate term for White Jade Capital between Void Return and Dao Fusion. The gap between them truly exceeded Shen Yi's expectations.
However, the result was still good.
He had only intended to stop the fish demon, but he didn't expect to be able to directly kill it.
The killing move he had comprehended still had some value.
"Heh, heh."
Whether it was Chi Yang or Liu Shiqian, neither of them noticed Shen Yi's strangeness, not because their vision was too low or because they didn't care about Shen Yi.
It was just that the scene before them was too shocking.
It completely disrupted their minds.
Even when the fish demon was torn apart, Shen Yi's palm hadn't truly touched it.
It was as if their cultivation levels had completely reversed.
The fish demon was the late-stage Void Return cultivator, killed by a palm of a White Jade Capital cultivator.
"Stop playing around, hurry up."
Shen Yi spoke casually, then walked to the wall, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wu Jun and the Winged Silkworm had similar cultivation levels to the two demons. In reality, with the support of their entire clan, the rarity of their bloodlines far surpassed that of ordinary demons.
Additionally, they felt no pain and feared no death.
Unless they encountered a true heavenly genius, they could be considered invincible at their cultivation level.
After hearing these words.
The two Foundation Stones seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, going completely insane. The Winged Silkworm paid the price of losing most of its body, directly biting off the Three-Headed Serpent Demon's head, and then tearing it into three snakes.
Wu Jun's tortoise shell was even shattered, but he still kept slamming with his claws, pounding the Trunked Water Elephant to death.
If this place wasn't the Immortal Cave.
Just the overflowing boundless demonic power from their battle.
It would have already terrified half of Nan Hong's creatures.
