Free Web NovelChapter 1544: Chapter 1544: The Cruel Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation
"What? The esteemed number one on the Heavenly List and the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, you’re afraid of me, a mere Peak of Lingyun Realm?"
Under Hou Tianlie’s words, Lu Yanji hesitated for a moment, and inside the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, Wei Duzheng’s face showed a cold smile.
Although this clumsy provocation tactic had no impact on Lu Yanji, it was indeed a fact that they were one Great Rank apart, leaving no need for excessive concern.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Lu Yanji moved without a word, swiftly darting into the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce. How could the distinguished number one on the Heavenly List be someone who cowers before challenges?
"Elder Lu, I’ll join you!"
Seeing Lu Yanji’s actions, Hou Tianlie didn’t delay, as the Master of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, who had reached the Late Stage of Lingyun Realm, was also a formidable warrior.
"I’ll come too!"
As Lu Yanji and Hou Tianlie moved together, a gleam flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and he signaled Wu Zhukong, who promptly shouted and quickly followed.
"Isn’t that the Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, Wu Zhukong? How did he get involved with Lianyun Mountain?"
A cultivator from Lingdao City watching from afar recognized Wu Zhukong instantly and exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with confusion.
Previously, Wu Zhukong stood respectfully behind Yun Xiao like an ordinary servant, attracting little attention until this moment of shocking realization.
The former Palace Master of Wuyan Palace, how mighty he was, ranked third on the Heavenly List, demonstrating the continent cultivators’ recognition of his power.
But after the great battle at Lianyun Mountain, Wu Zhukong was erased from the Heavenly List by Shenxiao Sect, leading continent cultivators to believe he died in that battle.
Who knew months later, Wu Zhukong not only survived but transformed into Yun Xiao’s follower, a shift completely unexpected.
"Hey, didn’t you notice that Wu Zhukong’s aura surpasses even Wei Duzheng’s?"
An old man with a strong Power of Soul as a Meridian Refining Master discovered something deeper, speaking with considerable sentiment.
Previously, Wu Zhukong’s cultivation was comparable to Xue Tianao and Wei Duzheng, but now Wei Duzheng is the weakest among the leaders of the four top forces.
"Above Wei Duzheng, wouldn’t that mean he’s in the Heavenly Realm?"
Nearby cultivators responded quickly, pondering this revelation and feeling silent sympathy for the President of Spirit Fighting Commerce surrounded by three powerful figures.
With Wei Duzheng’s Peak of Lingyun Realm cultivation, against any of the three strong contenders, especially Lu Yanji or Wu Zhukong, he would be far from a match.
However, when everyone’s gaze shifted to the commerce president, they found an unusual look of excitement on Wei Duzheng’s face.
Of course, Wei Duzheng felt excited since he previously worried about Lu Yanji entering the headquarters alone, limiting his ultimate moves to kill only Lu Yanji.
But now, his opponents abandoned the single combat rule, seeking to ultimately kill him with the joined might of three powerful figures, precisely what Wei Duzheng desired.
He believed under certain measures within the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters, even with two Heavenly Realm experts among them, survival was impossible.
If he could hold Lu Yanji, Wu Zhukong, and Hou Tianlie at the headquarters, then the chance for a reversal was firmly in his grasp.
Besides those three, only Yun Xiao reached Lingyun Realm within the Meridian Refining Master Association and Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, guaranteeing Wei Duzheng’s survival with his Peak of Lingyun Realm cultivation.
The entire situation of luring Lu Yanji and others like lost dogs to the headquarters awaited this moment for Wei Duzheng.
What unfolded before him was precisely the result Wei Duzheng desired, and thus, his fingers hidden within his robe sleeves quietly initiated action.
Swish!
As everyone watched the three-on-one confrontation, a faint red light screen suddenly ascended around the headquarters of Spirit Fighting Commerce, instantly isolating inside and outside into two separate worlds.
Witnessing this, Wu Zhukong who had once been to Xuanyin Hall felt a familiar sensation. Previously, Vice Hall Master Lian Yuluo and Xue Ningxiang escaped thanks to Xuanyin Hall’s Palace Protection Array.
Now it seemed the faint red light screen likely belonged to the Commerce’s own protection array, but enveloping Wei Duzheng himself within this array held unclear significance.
In Wu Zhukong’s view, this is starkly different from when Xue Tianao invoked the Xuanyin Hall’s Palace Protection Array back then. At that time, Xue Tianao wanted to isolate us to buy time for Lian Yuluo and Xue Ningxiang, and it indeed achieved a remarkable effect.
However, now, Wei Duzheng is being encircled and killed by three powerhouses, and that faint red large array light shield merely isolates Yun Xiao and the others outside. As for his own safety, it doesn’t alleviate it in the slightest.
"This Spirit Fighting Commerce is indeed extraordinarily ruthless!"
Compared to those inside, when Yun Xiao saw the rising faint red light curtain outside, and then sensed that hint of bloody aura inside, his face couldn’t help but become extremely grim.
"Yun Xiao, do you know what kind of large array this is?"
Though knowing her teacher and the others are three against one, and there shouldn’t be any accidents, Xu Hongzhuang couldn’t help but ask. Regarding this Commerce Protection Array of Spirit Fighting Commerce, she was completely in the dark.
But Xu Hongzhuang knew that the one beside her was not only a High Rank Meridian Refining Master but also an accomplished Array Master. Asking Yun Xiao would surely yield a precise answer.
As soon as Xu Hongzhuang spoke, the eyes of many cultivators from Demons Mountain turned to Yun Xiao. These cultivators, all truly revered this young man from their hearts.
"Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation!"
Yun Xiao’s face turned even grimmer as he discovered the faint red of the Array Protection Light Shield had deepened. It was obvious Wei Duzheng was activating certain powers.
"Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation?"
Suddenly hearing this somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar name, the cultivators belonging to Demons Mountain displayed a curious expression.
Just by hearing the name, some unaware individuals might think this large array is deployed by Demons Mountain, as its name contains the words "Ten Thousand Demons."
"The so-called Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation is a large array activated by sacrificial refining using the blood of ten thousand Vein Demons. During the activation process, it continuously absorbs the blood energy of Vein Demons for reinforcement, exceedingly ruthless!"
Yun Xiao’s subsequent words made countless cultivators from Demons Mountain, including Xiao Bailin, immensely furious and made them understand what the so-called "Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation" actually was.
Previously, it was heard that Spirit Fighting Commerce engaged in the trade of Meridian Spirits, hunting Vein Demons rampant across the continent, thereby intensifying the tension between humans and Vein Demons on the Tenglong Continent.
Moreover, it made Beast Vein Masters at Demons Mountain expend much more effort to tame the Vein Demons. All these were caused by Spirit Fighting Commerce’s relentless hunting of Vein Demons.
However, the methods of erasing the Spiritual Wisdom of Vein Demons and refining them into Meridian Spirits paled in comparison to the current Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation.
This is reminiscent of the time on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield when the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit Ghost River deployed the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array, except now the target for blood energy absorption changed from humans to Vein Demons.
"Despicable!"
An angry voice emanated from Yun Xiao’s shoulder, originating from Chi Yan. Hearing Yun Xiao’s explanation elicited a rush of fury he could no longer contain.
The Fiery Holy Rat was an Ancient Species, albeit within the realm of Vein Demons. Now, Wei Duzheng resorted to madness, using blood energy of ten thousand Vein Demons to confront Lu Yanji and two others, an utterly intolerable outrage.
Chi Yan could imagine, once the battle within the array reached a stalemate, Wei Duzheng would invoke more Ten Thousand Demon blood energy. By the time the battle concluded, not a single one of those ten thousand Vein Demons would survive.
Bam!
Chi Yan’s angry voice subsided as its body suddenly enlarged, fiercely colliding with that increasingly pungent bloody red light shield, generating a loud crash.
Whoosh!
However, Chi Yan, despite being an Advanced Silver Grade Sky Demon, failed to make the red light shield show any sign of cracking. Instead, it was rebounded, its massive body flung dozens of feet away, stabilizing only after reverting to its original form.
"It’s useless; once the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation is activated, unless the blood energy of those ten thousand Vein Demons is completely exhausted, no one can break it from either inside or outside!"
Seeing Chi Yan being repelled, Yun Xiao’s face turned grimmer. Although he had recognized the essence of the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation at first glance, breaking the array proved exceedingly difficult.
"Others may have no way, but I believe you surely have a way!"
However, just as Yun Xiao’s last words faded, Xu Hongzhuang interjected. Her statement caused myriad Demons Mountain elders like Xiao Bailin and Meng Liyang to show a semblance of anticipation in their eyes.
Remember, during the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, it was Yun Xiao who discovered the Heavenly Rank Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array and dismantled the sinister plot by the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit Ghost River in one fell swoop.
Thus, regarding the boy’s accomplishments in array formation, these cultivators on Demons Mountain all reckoned he might not fall much short compared to the continent’s foremost Array Master, the Island Master of Ling Kong Island, Li Yunfan.
