Chapter 531: Consecutive Annihilations (Makeup for missed update 53)
Swish!
Luan Changlao flicked her hand, and a dark green banner appeared.
Upon the banner, a phoenix totem soared with outstretched wings!
The other six Soul Transformation demon cultivators likewise formed hand seals, and various banners emerged.
Upon the seven formation banners, totems of true spirits such as the Qilin, True Dragon, and Profound Tortoise were etched. They suddenly merged into one!
A surge of demonic energy soared into the sky, transforming into a grand formation!
The Demon Realm possessed seven great sacred artifacts, and the Demon Race also boasted eight extraordinary treasures!
This set of formation banners was one of them—a replica of the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Array' banners!
Now, driven by seven Soul Transformation demon cultivators, especially with the inclusion of the late-stage Soul Transformation Luan Changlao, it nearly possessed the might of a Soul Transformation cultivator!
Countless dark green demonic energies spread out, continuously assaulting the 'Reversal and Opposition Nine-Nethers Profound Wood Grand Array'. The tendrils of black mist actually retreated rapidly, as the two formations entangled, temporarily repelling each other's power and creating a vacuum zone.
Fang Xi, seated on his Withered Wood Throne, did not retreat into the formation. Instead, he looked at the surrounding demonic energy, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "Interesting!"
"Freeze!"
Luan Changlao’s hand seals changed, and the seven formation banners flew out, seemingly fixing all changes within this area of the 'Reversal and Opposition Nine-Nethers Profound Wood Grand Array'. Then. . . accompanied by a beastly roar, the remaining beast tide surged forth.
Fang Xi looked up and saw a vast expanse of third-order demon birds from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
Green Fire Luans, Five-Colored Phoenixes, Qixi Birds. . .
Various third-order demon birds, bearing traces of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan bloodline, erupted with astonishing cries, spewing forth various true flames and scorching winds, sweeping towards him.
At the same time, the seven Soul Transformation demon cultivators also transformed into streaks of light, grinning sinisterly, and launched their assault!
"Finally. . . it's my turn to act?"
Fang Xi stood up.
The next moment, from within the black mist, dense beastly roars echoed.
A similar beast tide charged out, consisting entirely of third-order and higher demon beasts!
Moon-Gazing Rhinos, Iron-Armored Oxen, Azure Cloud Vultures, Iron-Winged Eagles. . .
These demon beasts all had dull eyes and missing limbs, yet they were well-ordered, subtly forming several battle formations!
If solely manipulated by the Ancestor Demonic Tree, these wood puppets would undoubtedly be incredibly rigid.
But 'Taiyi' was different. This pseudo-formation spirit instantly divided into countless sub-programs, precisely controlling every third-order demon beast, even allowing them to form various formations!
The art of battle formations for wood puppets that Fang Xi had conceived back then was now unleashed to its peak by Taiyi!
Roar! Roar!
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a vast amount of demonic energy gathered, forming a gigantic beast with a wolf's body, a leopard's tail, and three tiger heads. Its aura had fully reached the fourth-order, constantly spewing wind blades, fierce flames, and venom from its three tiger heads!
Above the sky, numerous wood puppet birds cried out, transforming into the majestic phantom of a Great Peng, swooping towards the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's flock. . .
Luan Changlao had not yet reached Fang Xi when she was blocked by two fourth-order, superior-grade wood puppets.
She was very familiar with these two superior-grade fourth-order puppets!
"Qing Changlao, Peng Changlao. . ."
Luan Changlao's phoenix eyes were filled with killing intent: "You deserve to die!"
Unfortunately, these two fourth-order demon beasts completely ignored Luan Changlao. Qing Changlao cried out, transforming into a colossal Green Fire Luan, and pounced towards Luan Changlao.
The dense demonic energy and the faint silver ripples in the void made Luan Changlao not dare to be careless. She pulled out the hairpin from her head and slashed it.
A spatial rift appeared, blocking the path between her and the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Caw!"
The gigantic Green Fire Luan, formed by Qing Changlao, cried out. Silver runes flickered on its wings, and it sharply shot backward, spitting a mouthful of Green Luan Fire.
Luan Changlao threw out an embroidered red silk handkerchief for defense. A layer of dark light emerged from the handkerchief, surprisingly devouring all the Green Luan Fire.
At the same time, an extremely dangerous sensation suddenly emanated from behind her.
Just as Luan Changlao inwardly cursed her bad luck but found it difficult to react, a sound of wind evasion echoed!
Peng Changlao appeared behind her, one arm completely transformed into a bird's claw, and viciously clawed at her back!
Poof!
The five-colored light shield violently swayed, surprisingly devoured by countless wind blades.
A flash of colorful light in the void, and a few more five-colored feathers drifted down.
Not far away, Luan Changlao reappeared, her divine consciousness sweeping over the battlefield, her expression becoming incredibly grim.
She saw that the remaining six Soul Transformation demon cultivators were all blocked by various wood puppets, among them even Feng Shisan and a Jade Qilin (Jade Qilin)!
These wood puppets, driven by Fang Xi's puppet control secret art from the 'Thousand Mechanisms Art', possessed ferociously powerful combat capabilities.
Some could even suppress Soul Transformation demon cultivators!
Among the ordinary demon beast horde, the situation was equally dire.
Although the wood puppet army had characteristics of rigidity and lack of flexibility, once they formed battle formations, their shortcomings were greatly compensated.
Even if a formation was temporarily broken up, they could quickly reassemble with surrounding puppets, forming smaller arrays. . . This level of command had reached an artistic level, incomparable to how ordinary demon beasts were commanded by roars!
More importantly, as both sides suffered casualties, the damaged wood puppets would drag the fallen demon beasts back into the black mist, and before long, two more wood puppets would emerge!
But for the demon race, every third-order demon beast that died was one less!
"Corpse control? Or puppet art? How is the conversion so fast?"
Luan Changlao was truly horrified.
And at this moment, Fang Xi had only just made his move!
He wore the 'Small Four Spirits Armor', and the Five Elements Ring floated around him, enveloping him in a thick layer of five-colored spiritual light defense. Holding the Green Reaping Sword, he lightly flicked its blade.
The Green Reaping Sword immediately let out an exceptionally clear sword cry!
Now, with the aid of a Spirit Flash Pearl, his figure flickered and vanished, appearing and disappearing like a ghost!
A fourth-order mid-grade tiger demon, currently entangled with the Jade Qilin, instantly felt its hairs stand on end. Without thinking, it opened its mouth and spewed.
Within its dense demonic energy, a spiritual treasure resembling a Ten Thousand Souls Banner protected its back. Ghost energy converged, forming a gigantic, ferocious crimson ghost head!
The crimson ghost head's leopard eyes bulged, and six strange horns grew from its crown. It let out a bizarre laugh, opening its fanged mouth to bite backward!
But the next moment, a streak of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light descended, slicing the ghost head in half down the middle. The soul banner was also cut into several pieces!
A green shadow flashed, and Fang Xi, holding the Green Reaping Sword, slashed down with one strike!
Poof!
The tiger demon's protective spiritual light was instantly split in two by the Green Reaping Sword, and the sword's momentum remained undiminished as it sliced through the tiger demon's head.
This fourth-order mid-grade tiger demon was easily decapitated before it could even use any other spiritual treasure or divine ability!
Roar!
Its head transformed into a gigantic tiger head in mid-air, and a spirit essence, wrapped around its demon core, tried to escape!
The next instant, a grey-white miniature pagoda appeared above its soul, and circles of grey-white light descended.
The tiger demon's soul wailed, and both it and its demon core were sucked into the 'Soul Suppressing Pagoda'!
"Soul Suppressing Pagoda! Demon-Slaying Sword!"
Luan Changlao's face was extremely unsightly. These two replicas of the Demon Race's Eight Extraordinary Treasures actually seemed to possess thirty to forty percent of their original power!
"Your turn!"
Fang Xi looked at Luan Changlao, also smiling faintly, and formed a sword seal.
Swish! Swish!
In an instant, the Green Reaping Sword directly exploded, transforming into 1.296 billion Green Reaping Needles!
Countless green threads appeared in the void, each capable of easily cutting through the scales of third-order demon beasts, tearing them to pieces!
Even Soul Transformation demon cultivators could only retreat as if avoiding snakes or use spiritual treasures to protect themselves.
In the blink of an eye, most of the sky-filled demon beasts were pierced by the Green Reaping Needles!
Fang Xi hesitated no longer, changing his hand seals.
One Green Reaping Needle exploded, transforming into millions of formless 'Green Reaping Formless Needles'. . .
"Ugh. . ."
A fourth-order mid-grade demon dragon suddenly clutched its lips, large streams of fresh blood flowing from between its fingers. . .
It looked around in a daze, seeing that of the six Soul Transformation demon cultivators, apart from Luan Changlao and Qing'er who immediately cast spatial divine abilities to escape, all of them had perished!
"Such fast swordplay. . ."
The Flood Dragon muttered, its body suddenly splitting into four, and a demon core was sucked away by the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. . .
From the moment Fang Xi unleashed his Green Reaping Sword to the annihilation of countless third and fourth-order demon beasts, it happened in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, his figure flickered, and he had already arrived before Luan Changlao. A spiritual treasure emerged, which was the 'Spirit Bird Fan'!
This feather fan abruptly exploded, turning into streaks of green tornadoes, engulfing the crimson silk handkerchief. . .
Beside Luan Changlao, there was a blood-red miniature palace. As Fang Xi uttered the cold word "Explode! ", it violently burst apart.
The void shattered, revealing streams of spatial turbulence.
Several breaths later, a disheveled Heavenly Phoenix escaped from a spatial crack—it was Luan Changlao!
However, at this moment, the spatial treasure hairpin on her head let out a mournful cry, having shattered!
Qing Changlao and Peng Changlao did not miss this opportunity. Their figures flashed, and they began to attack her from front and back.
Fang Xi held the 'Five Elements Ring'. As the ring spun, a five-colored lotus flower appeared in the void, similarly pressing down on Luan Changlao!
In just a few moves, this fourth-order, superior-grade Heavenly Phoenix seemed to be in imminent danger, on the verge of being directly slain by Fang Xi!
At this very instant!
Fang Xi's spiritual sense suddenly warned him frantically.
Without thinking, he abandoned Luan Changlao and flickered backward.
Poof!
A five-colored streak of light, like a bone-chilling curse, followed his figure closely. The Five Elements Ring's light armor wailed, actually shattering with a single blow!
The five-colored streak of light continued unimpeded, striking directly at the heart-guard mirror on Fang Xi's chest!
"Pfft!"
His face flushed red, almost wanting to spit blood, but he swallowed it back. His figure transformed into a streak of light and shot back into the 'Reversal and Opposition Nine-Nethers Grand Array'. Fang Xi looked down and saw a strange five-colored demon bird's claw, directly embedded in his heart-guard mirror, though it had not penetrated deeply. He couldn't help but sneer: "A dignified Soul Transformation Heavenly Phoenix. . . actually ambushes a junior? !"
A flash of fire-element divine light streaked forth, incinerating many unevading wood puppets into ashes!
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan landed in front of Luan Changlao, gazing at the two rapidly fleeing fourth-order, superior-grade wood puppets with anguish in her eyes. A crimson banner appeared in her hand, and she lightly shook it.
A crimson glow swiftly pursued Qing Changlao and Peng Changlao, with countless runes flickering madly within it.
A burst of red light suddenly erupted in the void, directly refining these two fourth-order, superior-grade demon cultivators into ashes!
