Chapter 77: Ink Dragon King

  The second update!

  Thick fog, like a dark night where you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand.

  Chen Yao's spiritual soul power could only cover a range of ten zhang, and exceeding ten zhang would cause it to be bounced back by an invisible force, making him even more cautious.

  The formation method is simply a collection of dense symbols carved with intricate patterns, which are combined in a way that resonates with each other to form an 'array'. This array merges with the heavens and earth, possessing the power of 'law'.

  In other words, there is no formation without symbols. Those dense and intricate patterns full of profound meaning are the core of a formation.

  Chen Yao had been studying talismans for many years, and his understanding of the Tao of Talismans was extremely profound. His natural talent was also exceptionally high, but the talismans he usually created were all basic ones. Faced with the Thousand Illusions Maze Array in front of him, he was also at a loss.

  However, although the formation in front of him cannot be easily broken, he can still identify that the magic treasures used to suppress the foundation of this formation should all be entry-level magic treasures.

  The Jade Ruler can only be refined and controlled by a Zifu Disciple!

  "This is obviously an entry-level formation, and it's also unbelievable. Is there another demon cultivator at the level of a symbol array master in this southern barbarian deep mountain?"

  Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless, the large array in front of him was just a fog illusion array, but who knew if there were any hidden killing intentions within? At this moment, the large array had not yet fully activated, otherwise he would not have been as pressure-free as he was now.

  "We must break through!"

  "If we wait until the formation is activated, our situation will have become extremely critical!"

  Time was pressing, Chen Xiao manipulated the powerful divine soul's intent, like a tentacle extending in all directions. Fortunately, his foundation in talismans was extremely solid, and his understanding of talismans was astonishingly high; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Starry Sky Secret Realm. At this moment, with a calm mind and introspection, he discovered many mysteries, just like unraveling silk threads. He also gained numerous insights into Array Techniques.

  "Huh?" Chen Xiao suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

  At this moment, a low and muffled roar echoed through the array: "Children, go! Kill that human boy!"

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  Accompanied by a burst of frantic and bloodthirsty cries, suddenly the thick fog in the distance parted from the middle, as if opening a 'door', and then like a tidal wave, countless demons big and small surged in.

  Wielding dual forks, the wolf demon, holding an iron rod, the bear demon, and with wings sprouting from its back, the bat demon... each with a crazed and ferocious expression, let out ear-piercing howls as they charged towards Chen Tai.

  Seeing this, Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. These big and small monsters were only at the Xiantian realm at most, but due to their large numbers, he didn't dare to be careless either.

  The realm of the Purple Mansion, although it can sweep away all innate cultivation, but being in the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses, especially when unable to fly or escape into the air, chaotic guns and knives have no eyes, sneak attacks and sinister moves are endless, there is no Purple Mansion cultivator who dares to guarantee annihilating hundreds or thousands of times their own enemies.

  However, Chen Yao had already been able to crush existences of the same realm as him since he was in the Pre-Heaven Realm. Now that he has not only advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm but also reached the Dao Intent Realm in his martial arts cultivation, he is not afraid of this kind of human sea tactics.

  Splash!

  Like a dragon entering the sea, a divine crane returning to its nest, Chen Xuan's figure was like the wind, charging head-on at those big and small monsters.

  Pfft!

  Chen Yu's sword pierced into the scales of a blue-haired fish demon, creating a hole in its heart. He then dodged several sneak-attacking demons and counterattacked with his sword, slitting the throats of five more demons, causing blood to gush out.

  Draw your sword!

  Slay the demon!

  Take cover!

  Wield your sword again!

  ……

  Chen Yao charged into the demon crowd, his body like a fleeting wind, his Gengjin sword flashing like shooting stars, his breath fierce and his momentum growing sharper by the second, chopping and slashing with abandon.

  He didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, didn't dare to stop in the same place for a second, purely subconsciously dodging and transferring, like an eel rushing into a school of sardines, stirring up all around, stirring up the battlefield, using all the chaos to avoid being surrounded.

  However, there were still some cold guns and dark arrows that hit Chen Tai accurately like a poisonous snake lurking on one side. Fortunately, his physical training had already reached the realm of Innate Perfection, so he didn't suffer any damage.

  This also made Chen's nerves even more tense.

  The most tempered battle to test one's will is undoubtedly the fight on the battlefield, facing thousands of troops and horses, fearless in the face of a forest of swords. One man, one sword, fighting against the army of monsters, fighting alone, testing courage, wisdom, and strength!

  Pffft...

  Thick blood gushed out in waves, splashing everywhere, the pungent smell of blood was so strong that it was almost suffocating, extremely tragic.

  Ah! Ah! Ah......

  The mournful and ghostly howls rose and fell, one after another, as the big demons disappeared under Chen Tai's sword. Every time a demon was stabbed to death by him, his killing intent became sharper and more ruthless, like a precious sword being honed to reveal its sharp edge.

  Like a god of death, ceaselessly reaping lives.

  Chen Xiao was not stimulated by the bloody scene to madness, nor did he feel pity for those great demons who died under the sword, his consciousness was extremely calm, like ice and frost piercing through.

  "Huh?"

  Chen Xiao seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned his head, a curved knife appeared in the pupil of his eye, like a ghost emerging from the underworld, with a terrifying and eerie breath.

  At this moment, he was surrounded by six major demons. Originally, one sword could break the deadlock, but with the appearance of this curved knife, he was forced into a dilemma.

  Avoiding the curved knife would result in being attacked by six major demons, and coming back would lead to being beheaded by the curved knife.

  It has to be said that this ambusher had an extremely accurate grasp of the situation, and in an instant had dissolved the advantage Chen Xiao had just fought his way to, instantly falling into a desperate situation.

  It seems like... it's already an unsolvable dead end.

  "Finally caught this opportunity, this kid is indeed troublesome, but unfortunately still has to die at my hands." In the distance, the bald and one-eyed, sturdy and robust Ink Snake King couldn't help but smile with a cruel and sinister look in his eyes.

  But his smile froze the next moment.

  A change has taken place.

  Hiss, hiss, hiss... Eight icy and sharp flying swords suddenly appeared around Chen Xiao's body, like lightning flashing through the clouds. In the blink of an eye, they had beheaded six large demons surrounding him.

  Almost at the same time as the flying sword appeared, Chen Tang's Gengjin Sword shot out a move called Changfeng Polang, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and fiercely slashed onto the curved knife that was charging towards him.

  Clang!

  The swords clashed, emitting a piercingly sharp sound that was almost deafening. Chen Yu then borrowed the force of this collision and his body fluttered like a shadow in the wind, retreating dozens of feet away.

  "This is quite a decent strength, you guys retreat, I'll take care of this little human friend."

  A low, rumbling sound like muffled thunder came from afar, and Chen Xiao only then discovered that a burly, bald-headed man with a single horn was walking towards him, grasping a dark blue curved knife.

  That azure crescent blade, like a tranquil lake, was both long and wide. The cold light of the blade flowed and shifted, fully six feet in length, almost comparable to a long spear, but the blade was even wider.

  Wow!

  Those big and small monsters had long been killed by Chen Tai, their courage was broken, when they heard the words, like a great calamity, they retreated one after another, leaving behind a large number of corpses with blood flowing all over the ground.

  Only Chen Tai and Mo Jia Wang were left in the arena.

  "This Gengjin Sword Bamboo? My Huang Jie Upper Grade Treasure, the Extreme Light Knife, can't even cut through a single unrefined Gengjin Sword Bamboo. What a great treasure indeed!"

  The Black Python King's eyes swept across Chen Tai, and when he saw the long sword in Chen Tai's hand, his eyes revealed an undisguised fervent and greedy color.

  Chen Xiao was also sizing up the Ink Dragon King, eight handles of Xuanming flying swords dancing around his body, tightly gripping the Gengjin sword bamboo, extremely cautious in his heart, because from the Ink Dragon King he felt an intangible pressure, overbearing and cruel, with a strong and powerful aura that seemed to surpass even the Thunder Eagle King.

  This guy should be the Ink Dragon King, the dragon that has been cultivating in Moon Lake for five thousand years! And this guy was born with a single horn, obviously also an outcast among the dragon clan, and his strength is likely to be even more formidable.

  "Hmm, you're Chen Xiao? Let me think... I seem to have heard your name before..." Mo Jiao Wang seemed to recall something, thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember now! Among the human cultivators I captured, there were a few who mentioned you. We even planned to catch you, since we still needed one more human cultivator to refine the Blood Spirit Creation Dan. Who would have thought that you'd deliver yourself right to our doorstep? Hahaha!"

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, could it be Du Qingxi and the others?

  "Du Qingxi, Murong Wei, Cang Lin, Duanmu Ze... you should know these names, right?" The Ink Dragon King said with a playful expression.

  Chen Xiao fell silent, his face growing increasingly cold. Indeed, indeed these demon kings were going to use them to refine elixirs, Yu Haobai had not deceived him.

  "You probably don't know what the Blood Spirit Transformation Pill is, huh? Well, it's actually quite simple. It's a magical pill made by using the blood and soul of human cultivators as the main ingredients, combined with some heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

  The Ink Dragon King licked his mouth and smiled coldly: "And you came just in time, we were just about to extract the blood and souls of those people. With you added, it's exactly nine people, couldn't be better."

  "This Ink Dragon King is obviously trying to infuriate me and is intentionally delaying time, don't fall for his trick. Du Qingxiu and the others aren't dead yet, are they? Just kill this Ink Dragon and then go rescue them!"

  At this thought, Chen Tang raised his eyes and looked at King Mo Jiao, with a killing intent bursting in his chest.

  "This kid's mental state isn't bad, it seems that Hei Yuan and Lei Ying dying at his hands might actually be true." Mo Jiao Wang noticed Chen Tai's expression and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

  Just at this moment——

  "Die!"

  Chen Yao performed the Divine Wind Feather Escape Technique, instantly disappearing from his original location. The next moment, a violent and fierce storm descended, covering an area of several hundred meters.

  The wind howled and whistled, sharp as a sword blade. In an instant, tens of thousands of sword blades seemed to pour down like heavy rain, rolling towards the Ink Serpent King in front of him.

  Hiss!

  The void seemed to be torn apart, this violent storm contained the realm of Tao, with swordsmanship unfolding into a sharp and unmatched sword intent, like wind and lightning, destroying withered and rotten things, its power was extremely astonishing.

  "Looking for death!"

  Mo Jia Wang was stunned, seemingly not expecting Chen Xuan to make a move so quickly. His face sank, and with one large stride forward, the Qiushui Extreme Light Knife in his hand chopped out thousands of condensed knife edges in an instant, resembling a multitude of pale blue crescent moons shooting out with great momentum!
