Chapter 114 The Power of the Demon Banner
"Second brother, focus on breaking the formation! I'll handle the demon banner!"
The brocade-clad cultivator shouted, and the Crimson Fire Gourd shone brightly, transforming into a gigantic object thousands of feet in size. Thick, scorching red fire, like magma, poured out from the gourd's mouth, spreading out in the air to form a blazing wall of fire, attempting to block the surging, dark demonic mist.
Chi Chi Chi!
When the demonic mist came into contact with the poisonous fire, a dense corrosive sound erupted. The black and red lights entangled fiercely. Some low-level demonic souls could not withstand the burning of this supreme yang flame. Even with black armor formed from black qi protecting their bodies, they screamed and turned into green smoke and dissipated in just a few breaths.
"Roar! Roar!"
However, deep within the demonic mist, the spirits of several exceptionally large and ferocious high-level demonic beasts were enraged and let out earth-shattering roars.
Black energy gathered wildly around them, condensing into thick, almost tangible armor that enveloped their entire bodies. Then, fearlessly, they crashed into the wall of fire!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several violent impacts, the seemingly solid wall of magma was torn open in several places, and demonic mist surged in through the gaps, forcing the brocade-clad cultivator to repeatedly urge the gourd to spew out streams of fire to fill the gaps. His face was already somewhat pale.
"How is this possible? This demonic soul is not afraid of the flames?!" The brocade-clad cultivator was shocked and suspicious, but the greed in his eyes intensified.
The more bizarre and powerful this banner is, the more determined he becomes to obtain it. If he can seize this treasure and continuously refine it with the abundant resources of the demonic beasts in the outer sea, it will surely become a major asset for him to dominate the outer seas in the future!
Seeing that ordinary fire attacks were ineffective, the brocade-clad cultivator and his blue-clad companion, who had not yet made a move, exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity and killing intent in each other's eyes.
This kid is unpredictable and grows rapidly. If we can't completely eliminate him today, he will surely become a major threat in the future!
The two no longer held back. The brocade-clad cultivator opened his mouth, and a crimson flying sword shot out, its blade engulfed in flames. It was his natal magic weapon, the "Crimson Blaze Sword."
The blue-robed cultivator then unleashed a pair of gleaming blue twin blades, which transformed into two streaks of blue light, and together with the Crimson Blade, slashed at the high-level spirits within the demonic mist.
The Crimson Blaze Sword blazed fiercely, and with a single strike, it severed most of the head of a monster shrouded in black mist! The brocade-clad cultivator's face lit up with joy, but he was horrified to discover that the black mist surged wildly at the point where the soul had been severed. In the blink of an eye, the head was restored to its original state, though the aura around it was slightly weaker.
"Damn it! As long as this black mist doesn't dissipate, those monsters will be practically immortal!" The brocade-clad cultivator's face darkened, and his fear of the demonic banner deepened.
Just as the two were entangled by the high-level demon soul and were unable to break free, on the other side, the bronze short spear of the pointed-face cultivator was already fully charged!
"Break it for me!"
The sharp-faced cultivator's beard and hair stood on end. With a fierce shout, the bronze short spear, which had grown to tens of feet in length, seemed to come alive with dark green rust on its ancient surface. It flowed with a strange light that could destroy all laws, and with a heavy, mountain-like, and incomparably tyrannical power, it slammed down on the array light screen below!
Boom! ...
A deafening roar, far exceeding any before, reverberated across the deserted island, stirring up towering waves on the sea. The seven-colored light barrier formed by the defensive array shattered like glass struck by a boulder, dissipating into countless firefly-like specks of light.
With the formation broken, Luo Ming's figure was completely exposed to the three of them.
"Hmph, let's see where you can hide now!"
The sharp-faced cultivator sneered, manipulating the bronze short spear whose power had slightly diminished but was still terrifying. It spun in the air, its tip locking onto Luo Ming, and was about to transform into a deadly blue light and pierce straight down!
At the critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
A sharp, incomparably powerful black sword light suddenly burst forth from the ground beneath the pointed-face cultivator's feet, aiming straight for his vital dantian! The sword light was as swift as lightning; it was none other than the "Mysterious Edge Sword"!
The pointed-faced cultivator turned pale with fright. Driven by his survival instinct, he had no choice but to forcibly change the trajectory of the bronze spear and hastily return to defense.
clang!!!
The sound of metal clashing echoed across the fields, sparks flying everywhere.
Although the bronze spear blocked the sword, its attack was completely interrupted.
At the same time, more than a dozen stiff yet swift figures leaped out from the earth and rocks in different directions, gathered together, and spat out a large amount of green mist from the round bead magic artifacts in their hands, which gathered in the air into a green python that was tens of feet long, and fearlessly pounced on the pointed-face cultivator!
Meanwhile, the corpse puppet controlled by the Golden Gu Elder also joined the attack, manipulating the flying sword, and for a time, it fought back and forth with the mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
"The Xuanfeng Sword?! That's the fourth brother's sword!"
The brocade-clad cultivator recognized the flying sword at a glance. Then, sensing the figure emerging from the ground and currently locked in combat with the sharp-faced cultivator, the dense death aura and stiffness emanating from it made him instantly understand. His eyes widened in fury, "You—you actually turned Fourth Brother into a corpse puppet?!"
A surge of overwhelming anger and chill ran through them at the same time; their feud with Luo Ming was now irreconcilable!
The brocade-clad cultivator and the blue-clad cultivator exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes: a determination to kill this fiend at all costs.
They felt that Luo Ming was definitely a demonic cultivator, and if they couldn't eliminate him completely today, they would surely suffer a terrible revenge in the future.
The two understood each other implicitly and no longer held back their strength. The Crimson Blade and the Mother-Child Blade magic weapons shone brightly, and the two pushed them to their limits, which for a moment suppressed the siege of the many demon souls within the Thousand Demon Banner.
Whether by coincidence or not, the two people slowly descended from the air to a place not far from the ground, getting closer and closer to Luo Ming's position, clearly trying to get closer to him and look for an opportunity.
Just as the two stepped into a delicate distance, another unexpected event occurred!
The brocade-clad cultivator pretended to defend against the demonic soul's attack, then suddenly produced a cyan bead from his sleeve, which shot towards Luo Ming like an arrow!
"This is..." Luo Ming's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!
Although he didn't recognize what the cyan bead was, he immediately sensed the explosive power contained within it by scanning its surface with his divine sense. He knew that this thing was definitely not ordinary, since it could be used as a trump card by a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
"boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the cyan orb suddenly unleashed a violent destructive force, directly engulfing Luo Ming, who was not far away.
"I didn't expect to be tricked first." Luo Ming regretted that he was too late to act.
A life-or-death situation!
Luo Ming didn't have time to activate his other magical treasures. A strong sense of crisis struck him, and at the same time, he sensed a steady aura coming from the ground. Suddenly, a Xuanhuang protective shield appeared on Luo Ming's body.
Mysterious Gang Shield!
It wasn't Luo Ming who cast the spell, but rather the Xuan Turtle lurking underground that sensed its master's fatal crisis and, relying on the connection to that drop of primordial blood, unhesitatingly activated its life-saving supernatural power.
A pure, vast, and heavy earth-yellow primordial energy, spanning dozens of feet of earth, instantly traversed space and superimposed itself on Luo Ming's protective aura! It firmly protected him within, emanating an immovable and impervious aura.
Boom! Crack—!!!
The immense power of the exploding cyan sphere slammed solidly into the Xuan Gang shield! The deafening explosion and the sound of the shield shattering mingled together.
