Chapter 425 One-Finger Kill
Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu frowned slightly, keenly sensing that something was wrong.
In recent years, True Monarch Yun Xi of the Blood Marrow has acted recklessly, killing many cultivators of the Mirror Moon Sect.
The reason the sect used the Infant Nourishing Pill as bait was because they knew there were problems with the upper echelons of Yunlong Market.
In order to lure out the snake from its hole and draw out the Blood Marrow True Monarch, the sect did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation and use the traitor's hands to pass on the information, thus inviting the enemy into the trap.
But now, Yun Xi is not only unafraid of the two of them, but has become even more arrogant, which indicates that there is a problem with the sect's plan.
Is there a traitor among the sect's high-ranking members who leaked secrets?
not good."
Xin Yu's expression changed, and she probed the bottom of the Weeping Blood River with her divine sense.
There, she and her senior brother Zhu set up a fourth-order mystic array called the "Mirror Returning Moon Frost Subduing Demon Array".
Yun Xi is a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch. To safely suppress and kill such a demonic cultivator, three True Monarchs of the same realm must work together.
Unfortunately, the sect's True Monarchs were short of combat power, so they could only send her and Senior Brother Zhu. Therefore, they needed to set up an array in advance to ensure that they could kill Yun Xi with a high degree of certainty.
But just as Xin Yu activated the formation, she discovered that the Mirror Return Moon Frost Subduing Demon Formation did not react at all, and her expression changed slightly.
It should be noted that the Mirror Return Moon Frost Subduing Demon Formation was a mid-grade fourth-order formation plate bestowed by the sect to suppress Yun Xi. Its power is formidable, and only a Nascent Soul True Monarch can preside over it.
Together with her senior brother Zhu, she activated the power of the array plate. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch could not shake the Mirror Return Moon Frost Subduing Demon Array and could only accept his death unwillingly.
But the formation is not reacting at all, which means that the formation plate has been broken.
To be able to deceive her and Senior Brother Zhu's senses so quickly and silently dismantle the Mirror Returning Moon Frost Demon Subduing Formation, the demonic cultivator who broke the formation must be at least a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch or a mid-stage Nascent Soul High-Grade Mystic Formation Master.
boom!
Suddenly, a roaring sound rang out.
Zhu Jinglong's eyes narrowed, and he saw nine extremely hidden illusory ripples suddenly appear outside the Weeping Blood River.
As ripples emerged, nine pitch-black banners, neither gold nor wood, silently rose, their energy intertwined, vengeful spirits roared, and countless ghosts were unleashed, instantly forming a ghostly realm that covered a radius of a thousand miles.
As soon as the Ghost Realm was formed, the world suddenly darkened, the temperature plummeted, and a chilling aura capable of freezing the Yang God and eroding the Nascent Soul permeated the entire Blood-Weeping River. Even Zhu Jinglong instinctively sensed a bit of danger.
"Be careful, Daoist! This is the Nine Netherworld Soul-Locking and Qi-Binding Demon Array!" Zhu Jinglong warned with his divine sense.
Although Daozi successfully attained the status of a True Lord, he is only a newly promoted True Lord. He needs to practice embryonic breathing and meditation for a hundred years to perfectly master the methods of a Nascent Soul True Lord.
The Nine Nether Soul-Locking Demon-Binding Array is a secret technique of the Soul Refining Sect, with an array grade as high as the fourth-order superior grade.
Those below the Nascent Soul True Monarch level who encounter it will surely die, and even a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the middle stage must be extremely wary of it.
If he hadn't reminded him, Daozi would have been severely injured or even perished if he had suddenly encountered this strange demonic formation without knowing the specific details of the formation.
"Old Monster Zhu, you're barely able to protect yourself, yet you still have time to concern yourself with Jingyue Daozi. You truly don't take me, Yu Qianpo, seriously."
Zhu Jinglong's expression hardened as he looked at the one-horned ghost king that had quietly appeared before him.
Yu Qianpo's cultivation level is mid-Nascent Soul stage. He is a fourth-tier high-grade Xuan Array Master, the Supreme Elder of the Soul Refining Sect, and is honored as the Bitter Soul True Monarch.
This person has a special physique, born with a demonic body, and can control and refine the three souls and seven spirits of cultivators. When he first entered the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, he set up the [Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Soul Refining King Formation] in the Northern Plains Mountain of the Western Yan Realm, forcibly refining two fourth-realm demon kings, extracting their souls and refining their spirits, and creating a fourth-order ghost king, thus becoming famous in the demonic path.
However, the reason why Yu Qianpo was famous in the Earthly Realm and known to many Nascent Soul True Monarchs was that in order to advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he crafted a Myriad Soul Banner, sacrificing his blood to a giant cultivation city with a population of 500,000 in the Western Realm, and turning the city lord, who was skilled in water escape techniques, into a Ghost King.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the help of two Ghost Kings of the Fourth Realm, Yu Qianpo is considered one of the top Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinglong's heart sank.
He was not afraid of Yu Qianpo in a one-on-one fight, but it would be difficult for him to protect Daozi's life. He could only entrust the protection of Daozi to Junior Sister Xin.
interesting!"
Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the Ghost King within the formation, Chen Beiwu remained calm.
No matter how powerful the Nine Nether Soul-Locking Demon-Binding Array is, it cannot hide the fortune perception of the Nine Breaths Qi-Absorbing Divine Power.
Even though the Bitter Soul True Lord Yu Qianpo completely concealed his aura and hid among the many ghosts and evil spirits, disguising himself as a fierce soul, he still could not escape Chen Beiwu's eyes.
But Chen Beiwu didn't expose him, pretending not to notice, letting Yu Qianpo use the vengeful spirit to disguise himself and get close to him, preparing to retaliate with a ruthless move.
"Yu Qianpo?"
Upon hearing the name, Wang Hao and Mo Li's hearts skipped a beat, and their eyes widened in shock.
The Bitter Soul True Monarch has killed countless people and is infamous. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Earthly Realm have heard of him.
Without a doubt, if it weren't for the Daoist Master/Immortal Master protecting them from the True Lord's pressure, True Lord Kupo would probably have killed them with a single glance, without even lifting a finger.
Bai Zhi's heart also trembled.
She had deliberately cried out earlier to draw the attention of the Blood Marrow True Lord so that she could seize the opportunity to escape.
There is an advantage to doing this: even if Daozi discovers something is wrong afterward, her behavior can be covered up by saying that she was confused because she was concerned, and she cannot be punished according to the sect rules.
But now things are different. Daozi has two Supreme Elders protecting him. In the face of a life-or-death crisis, these Foundation Establishment cultivators are extremely likely to become expendable pawns, with an almost zero chance of escape.
"Buzz".
Xin Yu's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared next to Chen Beiwu.
"Daozi, hurry up!" Xin Yu thought to himself.
The sect's plans have now encountered unexpected changes.
Although she didn't know why Daozi had suddenly intervened in this operation, compared to Daozi's life and safety, the task of killing Yunxi was insignificant.
"Leave? Now that things have come to this, do you think you can just walk away?"
As a soft laugh rang out, ripples spread through the space, and a graceful female cultivator with flowing black hair and exquisite features suddenly appeared.
Her demeanor was aloof and cold. She wore a white gauze dress, and her feet were slender and delicate. Her toes were round like pearls and had a faint jade-like luster. She was not stained with any dust. She did not look like a peerless demonic cultivator of the Xuanpin Sect at all. Instead, she looked more like a fairy who had walked out of an ancient scroll.
Zhao Caixuan, the True Lord of Desire!
Upon recognizing the person, Xin Yu frowned slightly, her eyes becoming serious.
Zhao Caixuan comes from the Xuanpin Sect, one of the three major demonic sects. She follows the path of cultivation that uses passion as a raft and yin and yang as truth. Her cultivation is unfathomable, and she is one of the few late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Western Expansion Realm.
As far as Xin Yu knew, Zhao Caixuan changed her name and surname when she was in the Golden Core stage and became a disciple of the Ancient Saint Sect, the overlord of the Eastern Yan Realm. She used her seven emotions and six desires to stir up the Dao heart of Gu Santong, the number one genius of the Eastern Yan Realm, making the peerless genius a subject under her skirt, and turning all his cultivation into his cultivation resources.
It should be noted that Gu Santong was a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Ancient Saint Sect, a cultivator who forged an unparalleled golden core, and could be considered the number one golden core cultivator in the Eastern Evolution Realm.
Even such a powerful figure could not resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and he fell for Zhao Caixuan, using his unparalleled foundation to help her attain the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.
But what Xin Yu feared even more than these achievements was that, in the face of the pursuit of the Ancient Saint Sect, the Myriad Desire True Monarch Zhao Caixuan not only did not perish, but instead grew stronger with each battle, killing three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Ancient Saint Sect, and finally reaching the late Nascent Soul stage in cultivation, becoming the sect master of the Mysterious Female Sect.
"Damn it!"
Xin Yu's expression was rather unpleasant.
There is an insurmountable gap between a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch and a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Even if she and her senior brother Zhu joined forces, they could not defeat True Lord Miaoyu alone, and they would even have to pay a price to retreat safely.
Moreover, besides the Myriad Desires True Lord, there are also the Bitter Soul True Lord and the Blood Marrow True Lord watching from the sidelines, ready to make a move at any moment.
Let alone protecting Daozi, it's uncertain whether she and her senior brother Zhu could even survive.
There was nothing Xin Yu could do but hope that the ancestor would act prudently and leave some means of survival for Dao Zi.
Otherwise, Daozi would probably have a hard time escaping this time.
Immortal Master, run away!
Mo Li stepped forward, blocking Chen Beiwu's path: "To see the Immortal Master before I die, A-Li is already content."
Although her cultivation level was low, she was not stupid. With so many Demon Sect True Monarchs secretly setting up ambushes, the chances of the Immortal Master escaping were extremely slim.
Even if she were to die, she would die in front of the Immortal Master to express her feelings.
Looking at the petite figure trembling slightly in front of him, Chen Beiwu felt a warmth in his heart.
Mo Li dared to stand in front of him and face the three True Monarchs of the Demonic Sect. Such a firm will was comparable to that of a Golden Core True Person!
"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of chickens and dogs. It'll be over soon," Chen Beiwu said calmly.
"A chicken or a dog? Daozi is really confident!" Zhao Caixuan lightly touched her lips with her fingertip and chuckled, "This confidence is truly captivating. I hope you can be just as confident in bed later."
"Wait, I can give you the essence of his body, but I want his three souls, seven spirits, and nascent soul."
Yu Qianpo interjected, "With Jingyue Daozi's talent, I might be able to refine a Primordial Ghost King."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Yun Xi said succinctly, "The longer we drag this out, the more likely things are to go wrong. It would be better to capture Jingyue Daozi directly and then distribute the spoils."
The Demonic Sect's original targets were True Monarch Suspended Mirror and True Monarch Clear Abyss, but now that better prey has appeared, they naturally have to change their targets.
With this in mind, and for the sake of peace of mind, Yunxi put an extra seal in his hand.
The seal was no bigger than the palm of a hand, yet its appearance was accompanied by the sound of waves, emanating a truly unsettling aura.
This treasure is none other than the Blood Sea Suppressing Seal, a fourth-tier superior-grade Xuan treasure that made him famous.
"Draw blood to suppress the source!"
With that thought, Yunxi flipped his right hand and pressed the Blood Sea Suppressing Seal heavily onto his chest.
"puff!"
Having suffered a severe blow, Yunxi spat out his life essence blood, which landed on the seal.
In an instant, the Blood Sea Town Seal emitted a circle of eerie blood light, then suddenly teleported away and disappeared, splitting into two blood-marked phantoms that moved above Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu, instead of Chen Beiwu as he had mentioned.
At the same instant, taking advantage of the opportunity created by Yunxi, Zhao Caixuan and Yu Qianpo made their moves almost simultaneously, with their targets being Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu.
In their view, Chen Zi'ang, the Daoist of Mirror Moon, was merely a newly promoted True Lord and not worth mentioning. It would be better to first seal off the two strongest True Lords to prevent them from getting in the way.
If they can deal with Chen Ziang quickly enough, they might be able to free up their hands to complete the Demon Sect's mission and eliminate either Zhu Jinglong or Xin Yu.
The soul returns, but ten thousand ghosts lock it up!
Yu Qianpo raised the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the Netherworld Ghost Realm that had enveloped the entire Weeping Blood River suddenly sank, dividing the space where Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu were located into an independent Ghost King's Desolate Domain.
The terror of the Nine Nether Soul-Locking and Qi-Binding Demon Array lies in its ability to trap and kill.
With two fourth-tier ghost kings in charge, and forty evil spirits and ten thousand ghosts assisting, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to break free from this attack within three hours.
Zhao Caixuan, who was barefoot and had stepped into the air, gently raised her hand, her slender fingers like orchids in bloom, and a silk handkerchief suddenly appeared in her palm.
This silk handkerchief is as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, with shimmering light flowing within it; it is none other than the fourth-grade superior-level Xuan treasure, the [Seven Emotions Heavenly Silk Handkerchief].
This treasure is not for killing or defense, but it can generate countless emotional threads, bewitch the mind of a True Monarch, incite inner demons, and cause cultivators to sink into illusions.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu's expressions changed drastically. They subconsciously activated their protective treasures and summoned the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image to resist the sealing, trapping, and soul attacks of the three True Monarch Demon Cultivators, but they had no time to pay attention to Daozi.
At the same time, Zhao Caixuan, Yu Qianpo, and Yun Xi flashed and occupied three sides, surrounding Chen Beiwu in the center.
Directly in front of her, the True Lord of Desire had eyes as clear as water, and her white gauze dress was both transparent and revealing, exuding boundless spring light.
To the left rear, the Blood Marrow True Monarch remained calm, his eyes fixed on Chen Beiwu.
To the right rear, the Bitter Soul True Lord holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his eyes filled with greed.
"It's over!"
Upon seeing this scene, Wang Hao's eyes showed despair.
Three peerless demonic cultivators besieged one person; even a Daoist with unparalleled talent and a Dao-proving True Monarch could not escape death.
"Master Immortal!"
Mo Li remained silent, staring blankly at Chen Beiwu.
She believed the Immortal Master's words.
If it were a celestial master, he might very well be able to fight against three opponents and create a miracle!
Something's not right!
Seeing Chen Beiwu's expression, Zhao Caixuan and the other two, who were about to make a move, suddenly sensed something was wrong.
So calm!
From beginning to end, Chen Ziang's performance has been far too calm.
Could it be that Daoist Jingyue possesses a life-saving artifact from his sect, powerful enough to suppress and kill a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch?
With this in mind, the three did not make a move immediately.
Zhao Caixuan looked at Yun Xi, signaling him to make the first move and test the waters.
Yun Xi's eyes flickered slightly. He was the weakest in cultivation among the three and didn't want to suffer a great loss by accident.
"Youngster, the winner takes all, and the loser is condemned. Don't blame us for ganging up on you," Yun Xi said.
"Indeed, indeed, this is fate." Yu Qianpo nodded slightly and cautiously probed, "Of course, if you are willing to surrender and become my disciple, I might spare your life."
"Indeed, little brother, think about it. Rather than becoming a disciple of this old devil, why not become my husband and enjoy ultimate bliss?" Zhao Caixuan smiled charmingly, "You can choose from 30,000 female cultivators from the Xuanpin Sect."
"You're right. In a life-or-death struggle, it's inevitable that the many will bully the few, but let's forget about joining the Demonic Sect."
"
Chen Beiwu smiled and looked at the three of them. Then, the space behind him slowly cracked open, gradually revealing the figures of a dragon, a dog, and a vine.
That's it?
Seeing this, Zhao Caixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems she was overthinking it.
She could kill a mere three newly ascended demon kings with a flick of her finger!
"You may stay here today."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu pointed out with a finger, which was the Primordial Immortal Technique of Profound Understanding, the Penetrating Truth Tribulation Finger!
Even before becoming a True Monarch, he was able to activate the Myriad Spirits Tribulation Transformation to defeat the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance.
In Chen Beiwu's eyes, mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Southern Wilderness are no different from ants, and only late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs are worth paying attention to.
"boom!"
This finger strike, returning to simplicity and truth, penetrated the heavens and earth, far exceeding the range of divine sense perception of a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch. It also seemed to touch upon cause and effect, ignoring all mystical treasures, talismans, and Heavenly Qi, directly striking Yu Qianpo's Nigong Wan (a point on the lower abdomen).
"You—what kind of mystical power is this?"
The nascent soul collapsed with a bang, and the proud Ten Thousand Souls Banner did not react at all. Yu Qianpo couldn't help but show a bit of confusion and unwillingness in his eyes.
He just died like that?
How exactly did the other party find his true identity?
He clearly had many tricks up his sleeve, and even a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn't hold his own for a short time.
