Free Web NovelChapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Dragon’s Roar and Phoenix’s Cry
"Yun Xiao, what should we do? Teacher seems like she can’t hold on any longer!"
Outside the Demon Blood Array, Xu Hongzhuang could clearly see the situation within. Her teacher, the Master of Demons Mountain, looked increasingly pale, with her wounds bleeding continuously. The situation was obviously far from normal.
On the other hand, Lu Yanji and Wu Zhukong were struggling to take care of themselves, unable to assist Hou Tianlie. As such, the Master of Demons Mountain became the one in the most perilous position within the Demon Blood Array.
However, at this moment, Yun Xiao only kept circling the perimeter of the Demon Blood Array without making a move, which made Xu Hongzhuang rather anxious, prompting her to speak up and ask.
"If I had the skills of a Holy Rank Array Master, in other words, the cultivation level of the Holy Rank Third Realm, breaking this Heavenly Rank Advanced Demon Blood Array would be effortless!"
Yun Xiao’s feet never stopped moving, but his words seemed meaningless. If it weren’t for his special identity, these words would probably have elicited sneers from others.
Because isn’t this all nonsense? If someone here had the power of the Holy Rank Third Realm, there would be no need for all this trouble; they could have already slapped Wei Duzheng to death.
Yun Xiao’s seemingly "foolish" words were not meant literally. It was because the former Long Xiao Battle God was extremely familiar with the Demon Blood Array. However, due to his current lack of strength in array techniques, he found himself somewhat helpless.
This is what you call knowing what to do but lacking the power. Among the several methods Yun Xiao knew to break the array, one must at least be at the level of a Heavenly Rank Advanced Array Master to break it.
Moreover, even for a Heavenly Rank High Rank Array Master, breaking the Demon Blood Array is not something that could be achieved in a short time. With delays, Hou Tianlie inside might have already met his end, and the other two might not necessarily come out unscathed.
It was precisely because of this that Yun Xiao’s expression turned grim. He suddenly felt a bit regretful for underestimating the foundation of these Tenglong Continent superpowers, which made his trip to the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters quite reckless.
"To break the array, there’s only one way: to use some means to quickly consume the blood energy of those ten thousand Pulse Monsters. That way, the array would collapse on its own!"
Feeling the aura of certain array flags not far away, Yun Xiao spoke with a gloomy expression. Upon hearing his words, not only did Xu Hongzhuang’s expression change greatly, but the cultivators of Demons Mountain nearby also looked visibly uncomfortable.
"How could that be possible? That’s a total of ten thousand Pulse Monsters!"
As a Beast Vein Master holding the Myriad Demon Divine Body, Xu Hongzhuang had been dealing with Pulse Monsters for years. She felt that although Pulse Monsters were more violent than humans, once they surrendered, they would never betray.
The ideology of a Beast Vein Master is to befriend Pulse Monsters, treating them the same as human partners. Even if they can’t be turned into demon pets, they would never easily kill any Pulse Monster.
But now, according to Yun Xiao, they must use some method to drive all the blood energy of those ten thousand Pulse Monsters to exhaustion, which means losing the lives of those ten thousand Pulse Monsters. How could Xu Hongzhuang bear this?
One could imagine, once it reaches that point, the entire Spirit Fighting Commerce would probably become a river of blood, with countless Pulse Monster resentful souls lingering in the sky. What a bloody hellscape that would be?
"Is there really... no other way?"
For a moment, Xu Hongzhuang found herself in a dilemma, torn between the life and death of her teacher and companions on one side and the lives of ten thousand Pulse Monsters on the other. She truly didn’t know how to choose.
Hearing Xu Hongzhuang’s question, even with Yun Xiao’s abilities, he couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. In his previous life, he was a powerhouse at the Holy Rank Third Realm, even a Holy Rank Advanced Array Master. But in this life, he hadn’t returned to that peak state.
At this moment, even having broken through to the Lingyun Realm Late Stage, Yun Xiao felt inadequate. If he could reach the Heavenly Realm, perhaps he could employ more means, but now, everything was in vain.
"Kid, if you beg me, I can help you dissolve this Demon Blood Array without harming the lives of those ten thousand Pulse Monsters!"
Just when Yun Xiao was at his wit’s end, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind, making his eyes light up. Subsequently, with his Inner Vision Eye, he saw a small golden snake worm staring at him with an unusual look.
"Little Five, do you really have a way?"
At this moment, Yun Xiao didn’t mind Little Five’s tone. He knew that this being claimed to be a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline and had shown him its extraordinary skills numerous times.
Now, even Yun Xiao’s soul as the Long Xiao Battle God had no way out. If anyone could bring the dead back to life, it might just be this so-called Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
"You haven’t asked me yet!"
For some reason, in such an urgent situation, Little Five didn’t seem to be in any hurry. It kept harping on the matter of "Yun Xiao asking for its help," making Yun Xiao a bit exasperated.
"At such a critical time, do you still care about these details?"
Yun Xiao was quite annoyed. No matter what, this guy was also a Pulse Monster. The ones within the Demon Blood Array were its kin. Why did it seem that even he, a human, was more anxious?
"You..."
"Little Five, if you delay any longer, do you believe I’ll slap you hard?"
Just as Little Five was about to press Yun Xiao’s critical point, wanting to further threaten him, a voice suddenly came from somewhere. It made his little snake head shrink abruptly, and he dared not speak further.
If there exists anyone who could subdue Little Five, it would definitely be the Dragon Tree Spirit Little Dragon. This Dragon Tree Spirit is crucial to Little Five’s growth to Peak, so he wouldn’t dare to oppose it.
"Alright, but I need the help of that foolish bird Red Feather!"
With the Dragon Tree Spirit Little Dragon voicing out, a hint of resentment gleamed in Little Five’s snake eyes, seemingly because Yun Xiao’s plea didn’t come through, but he dared not say anything unnecessary and spoke directly.
"You’re the foolish snake!"
Red Feather now was no longer the fledgling bird easily bullied by Little Five when she first hatched. Her body exuded more and more of a true Ancient Heavenly Phoenix aura, and upon hearing Little Five’s name-calling, she retorted sarcastically.
"Fine, you’re not foolish. I’ll leave those Flying Beast Pulse Demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation to you!"
Little Five made nothing of Red Feather’s retaliation, and the ensuing words made Yun Xiao thoughtful, pondering whether these two intended to leverage their unique bloodline to influence the myriad Pulse Demons within the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation.
Yun Xiao knew that those controlled Pulse Demons within the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation consisted not only of terrestrial beasts but also many Flying Beast Pulse Demons.
The Nine Heavens Divine Dragon is the lord of all demons, and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix is the true Sky Dominator, possibly exerting more influence over the Flying Beast Pulse Demons compared to Little Five, who claims to be a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
It might also be that Little Five hasn’t yet cultivated his strength to the Peak, and his Nine Heavens Divine Dragon majesty can’t manifest much power, necessitating Red Feather’s assistance to ensure no failure.
Swish! Swish!
After Little Five and Red Feather made their plans, Yun Xiao’s right hand extended involuntarily, followed by the sudden appearance of a golden light and a fiery red light in everyone’s eyes.
"What is that?"
Suddenly drawn by the dazzling glow, many Ten Thousand Demons Mountain cultivators, or distant onlookers, found their eyes hardly able to open, voicing their queries aloud.
However, the next moment, some powerhouses reaching the Heavenly Rank Realm clearly saw the golden light represent a golden snake worm, its body no longer than a foot, its aura incredibly strange.
In contrast, the fiery red glow appeared far more magnificent. Now Red Feather was nothing like the baby sparrow she once was, her wingspan nearly two to three yards, she possessed an aura of unparalleled majesty belonging to the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
"Roar!"
"Chirp!"
Amid everyone’s gaze, Little Five and Red Feather both emitted peculiar sounds. These sounds only made human cultivators feel slightly swayed, but to some beings, they meant much more.
Even the Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan on Yun Xiao’s shoulder quivered slightly upon hearing Little Five’s roar, as if some bloodline within it was inexplicably stirred.
Little Five indeed holds the supreme bloodline of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, a bloodline all demons revere. Though the Fire Cloud Rat’s bloodline is strong, compared to the Ancient Heavenly Dragon bloodline, it’s as insignificant as a minor witch before a Great Witch.
As for Red Feather’s phoenix call, it stirred a peculiar force within those Flying Beast Pulse Demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation. This force unmistakably became an aid to break free from the formation’s restraints.
Truth be told, captured by the Spirit Fighting Commerce to this headquarters, these ten thousand Pulse Demons lived lives worse than death, but alas, the cruel methods of the Spirit Fighting Commerce left them no strength to rebel even if they wished.
Now further driven to activate the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation, these Pulse Demons within the large array felt their blood energy being gradually depleted, unsure when it’d drain completely.
The Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation is truly a mysterious array, where those controlled Pulse Demons could only passively sacrifice their blood energy, witnessing their inevitable demise.
And at this moment when they could only wait for death, an external dragon roar interspersed with a phoenix chirp inexplicably stirred a unique force in the depths of their bloodlines.
Perhaps this is the power granted by the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and the Sky Dominator to their subjects. As this force emerged, the ten thousand Pulse Demons discovered the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Formation’s shackles weren’t so unbreakable anymore.
Dragon’s roar and phoenix’s chirp, a thought to break the array!
