Free Web NovelChapter 381: Chapter 246: Cultivation World 36
Si Lingle and Jin You trudged through the charred wasteland of the Demon Realm. Sulfurous smoke seeped from the cracked earth beneath their feet, and the air was thick with the sickly sweet scent of rotting flesh.
In the distance, a blood-red mountain range suddenly trembled, and countless dark red beast eyes lit up like stars. They belonged to a pack of bone-winged demon wolves, their spines protruding with serrated bone blades, drool dripping from their fangs, corroding the black rocks of the ground.
The Blue Spirit Key at Jin You’s waist trembled violently, her face changed dramatically: "Something’s wrong... these beasts are being controlled!"
Before her words had finished, the beast horde surged forward like a tide, the leading demon wolves lunging at Si Lingle, the shrieking sound of bone blades tearing through the air almost piercing her eardrums.
Si Lingle leaped into the air, her Qingchu Sword bursting with purple sword aura, severing the head of a demon wolf in one strike, black blood spraying forth, forming a poisonous mist.
The Great King and the others charged out, engaging in battle with the demon wolves.
Si Lingle took out an Array Plate, quickly setting up an array, "Jin You! Use the Demon Blood to lure them into the formation!"
Jin You bit her fingertip, the aura of her Demon-Demon Mixed Blood bursting forth instantly, an eerie purple Demon Fire igniting in her palm. The moment the flame touched the ground, it cracked with web-like patterns, ensnaring three demon wolves, briefly disrupting the formation of the beast horde.
However, the number of magic beasts far exceeded expectations, and an eight-headed serpent-demon beast long lying in ambush burst from the ground, its heads spitting corrosive acid.
The central head of the serpent-demon beast suddenly opened a third vertical eye, and wherever the blood light passed, the bodies of the other beasts swelled, barbs grew on the bone blades of the bone-winged demon wolves, and their attacks became increasingly frenzied.
Jin You couldn’t dodge in time, her left shoulder grazed by the acid, the fabric and her flesh instantly carbonized. She groaned, forcing her Demon Fire to turn dark gold, scorching the wound to stop the bleeding: "Yun Hua, this serpent-demon beast can catalyze mutations in its kin, we must slay it!"
Si Lingle leveraged a demon wolf’s back, her Sword Qi pouring down like the Milky Way, severing two serpent heads. Black blood cascaded like a waterfall and unexpectedly solidified mid-air into venomous blades in retaliation! She spun to dodge, another demon wolf maneuvering behind to ambush.
"Boom!"
The ambushing demon wolf was shot dead by the Taiyi Spirit Arrow cast by Si Lingle.
The next moment, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder crashed down, felling a swath of demon wolves!
Si Lingle’s attacks stalled the demon wolves, giving Jin You room to maneuver.
Jin You shouted fiercely, her Demon Fire transforming into chains, binding the heads of the serpent-demon beast. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Si Lingle seized the opportunity to attack, her Sword Intent pouring over the beast horde like torrential rain.
The head of the serpent-demon beast exploded with a bang, revealing a heart-like Blood Crystal at its core.
Jin You used her Demon Fire as an arrow to pierce the Blood Crystal, the exploding Demonic Qi blasting scores of demon beasts away, leaving a scorched giant crater on the wasteland.
The remnants of the beast horde gradually faded into black smoke and dispersed, yet a chilling laughter echoed across the blood-colored sky.
Si Lingle pointed her sword towards the void, "Who is controlling the beast horde? Show yourself!"
A shadow manifested from the clouds, clutching a Soul-devouring Lantern, its hoarse voice said: "To have broken my Ten Thousand Beasts Formation... a combination of an Immortal Sect Sword Cultivator and a Half-demon and half-demon is indeed an interesting sacrifice."
"Ah—" the shadow let out a miserable scream, as Jiu Jiu used her Space Divine Power, appearing instantly behind the shadow, killing it.
However, the shadow was not the main body, but a soul body avatar, which lacked the strength to rival Jiu Jiu, and was thus slain with a single strike.
After slaying the shadow, Si Lingle and Jin You continued on their way.

Si Lingle and Jin You changed into dark-patterned black satin robes, the collars inlaid with Blood Crystal Stones, runes formed from Demonic Qi floated on the cuffs like living things.
This was a Demon Breath Charm extracted by Jin You from the Blue Spirit Key, capable of temporarily tainting their Spiritual Energy with the violent aura of the Demon Clan.
The gates of the Heavenly Sound Demon City stood a hundred zhang tall, forged from Netherworld Mysterious Iron, covered in relief sculptures formed from sacrificed souls, twisted limbs and grotesque beast heads oozed dark red blood droplets in the moonlight, as if countless undead were silently screaming.
The Demon Soldiers guarding the city wore Bone Armor, the purple flames flickering in their eye sockets swept over the two, Si Lingle’s fingertips moved slightly, a Jade Token engraved with the name "Demon Huan" flashed—this was an insignia obtained from slaying a Demon Clan the previous night.
The Demon Soldier let out a gravelly growl: "Enter."
Upon crossing the threshold, beneath the blood moon, under the dark red canopy floated thousands of Soul-devouring Lamps, the ghostly blue flames within their wicks reflecting the ghostly prosperity of the city. fгeewebnovёl.com
The streets were paved with Blood Tears Jade, exuding a viscous blood mist with each step, blending with the scent of decayed bones wafting from the shops on both sides, suffocating any who breathed it in.
Enticing Enchanting Demons leaned languidly against the pavilions, teasing pedestrians with Human Skin Lanterns dangling from their fingertips, and from within the gambling houses came the sound of severed limbs clashing, Demon Cultivators shrieking in madness as they used body parts as stakes.
Jin You suppressed the surging Demonic Qi, but was pulled into a dark alley by Si Lingle: "Hold your breath, that Heart-eating Flower at the street corner is watching outsiders’ emotions." As she spoke, the dense array of blood eyes within the flower’s pistil turned toward them, failing to detect anything, and shifted their gaze elsewhere.
