Chapter 320 Strike
Zhiqiu Yiye subconsciously looked towards Zhang Chu. He felt that it was a great fortune for Yan Chixia to have the Xuanyuan Sword. The thing that could make him feel the panic of impending disaster was most likely taken out by the mysterious Taoist priest whom he could not see through.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that there was a small flag in Zhang Chu's hand, and what made him feel panic was the aura emitted by the small flag.
The moment he saw Xiao Fan, he actually felt like turning around and running away, as if he would die if he looked at her a few more times.
This extremely terrifying aura was also seen by Cihang Pudu, who was suppressing the Samadhi True Fire, resisting the sword light of Yan Chixia, and fighting against the four silver-armored corpses.
"what is this?"
His eyes were filled with panic, and he even seemed to want to escape.
"Of course it's something that'll kill you!"
Looking at Cihang Pudu who was still at ease under multiple attacks, Zhang Chu smiled grimly.
"Duh!"
He just waved the small flag in his hand, and an inexplicable and extremely terrifying aura came towards Cihang Pudu.
Even with Cihang Pudu's cultivation level that was about to transform into a dragon, he was completely helpless when he encountered that aura.
Even the layers of magic power that were laid down did not have any protective effect.
The extremely terrifying aura directly penetrated through the layers of protective shields, wrapped around him, and then disappeared.
After the aura fell on Cihang Pudu and disappeared, Cihang Pudu, who was originally at ease, suddenly made a stupid move, and the suppressed Samadhi True Fire also burned rapidly.
There was a huge loophole in his defense. The four silver-armored corpses broke through his defense, bit him, and began to suck his blood.
The Xuanyuan Sword in Yan Chixia's hand also followed the lightning from Zhang Chu and slashed at Cihang Pudu's body, and blood oozed out immediately.
Looking at the scene in front of him, not only Yan Chixia was stunned, even Kunlun Sect's direct disciple Zhiqiu Yiye looked at Zhang Chu with extreme fear.
What kind of treasure is this that can make a demon king who is about to transform into a dragon so embarrassed, and it is very likely that today will be the day he surrenders?
You know, the demon king who transforms into a dragon corresponds to a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage or even the Mahayana Stage!
Since he can deal with the demon king in the Dragon Transformation Stage, he can naturally deal with the cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Yan Chixia watched this scene and retreated back to Zhang Chu's side. He sensed clearly that he didn't need to take any action, as the demon king who had transformed into a dragon would surely die.
"Fellow,"
Yan Chixia glanced at the small banner in Zhang Chu's hand, took a step back, and came to Zhiqiu Yiye, "You come from a big sect, do you know what this treasure is?"
"I don't know anything!"
Zhiqiu Yiye looked at the small banner in Zhang Chu's hand with great envy. He fantasized that if this banner was his, he would be able to kill everyone.
At this moment, Zhang Chu was extremely shocked when he looked at the embarrassed Cihang Pudu and the Disaster Banner in his hand.
He had long known in his heart that the calamity energy had a great impact on practitioners, but he had never imagined that the impact would be so great that it could put a demon king in the calamity period in danger of death.
You know, Zhang Chu’s cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage!
There are still three major realms to reach before you can transcend the tribulation: Primordial Spirit, Fusion, and Transcend the Tribulation!
At this moment, Zhang Chu finally understood the feeling he had when he was reading the List of Conferred Gods. Those Golden Immortals were forced to flee in fear when they were beaten by their own disciples who were holding their most precious treasures.
It turns out that with the treasure in hand, one can really fight against opponents of higher levels and make the Golden Immortal helpless.
Looking at the calamity flag in his hand, Zhang Chu urged it again, and another wave of calamity energy wrapped around Cihang Pudu.
Cihang Pudu, who was already in a miserable state, became even more miserable after this calamity came upon him.
The Samadhi True Fire actually rushed directly into his sea of consciousness and began to burn his soul.
The four silver-armored corpses that had been knocked away by him pounced on him again and began to suck his blood.
With the continuous absorption, the strength of the Silver-Armored Corpse also began to rise steadily.
Originally, the Silver-Armored Corpse's strength without the support of other zombies was only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. However, after absorbing the blood of the centipede monster, its strength actually broke through directly to the Yuanying Realm, and it was still improving slowly and steadily.
If they could devour all the blood of the centipede monster in front of them, Zhang Chu's four silver-armored corpses would most likely be able to reach the peak of the silver-armored corpses - the strength of the Yuanshen realm.
At that time, you can be promoted to the Golden Armored Corpse.
Just as Zhang Chu was using the Calamity Banner wantonly, he did not notice that the dragon vein in his dantian was constantly vibrating, and the white light was constantly consuming, and it even felt dim.
It seems that too much luck from the dragon vein has been consumed.
Therefore, Zhang Chu, who was activating the Calamity Banner, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic, as if a disaster was about to happen.
His spiritual consciousness moved, and he started to check it out immediately. He saw the dragon vein that was constantly warning him. At this moment, there were actually faint cracks appearing on the dragon vein.
Subconsciously, Zhang Chu stopped shaking the Calamity Banner in his hand and stopped the calamity energy attack.
In an instant, the cracks on the dragon vein stopped.
After seeing this scene, Zhang Chu had an epiphany in his mind, but he didn’t have time to think about it at this moment, as he was still facing Cihang Pudu!
Cihang Pudu, who was surrounded by calamity, was in an extremely miserable state at this moment. His soul was burned by the Samadhi True Fire and was severely damaged. Most of his blood and essence was also absorbed by the four silver-armored corpses.
"Evil thief!"
Cihang Pudu hated Zhang Chu so much at this moment, "How dare you stop me from achieving enlightenment!"
"Even if I die, I won't let you go!"
It was obvious that Cihang Pudu, who was attacked by the calamity energy, hated Zhang Chu to the core and even had the idea of dying together with him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chu knew that something was wrong. With a thought, Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye, who were watching the battle, were directly moved out of the Corpse King formation by Zhang Chu.
"Refining!"
Then, Zhang Chu pinched his fingers to perform a magic spell, and endless pale flames immediately covered the entire Corpse King formation.
However, it is a new use of the Corpse King Formation that Zhang Chu has recently figured out, refining demons with corpse fire!
Endless corpse fires appeared in the formation, and the little demons that were imprisoned in the city were not spared and became fuel for the burning corpse fires.
"Ah~"
After seeing his descendants being killed by Zhang Chu, Cihang Pudu was extremely angry.
There's no way to run away anyway, so maybe just die together!
A soul that was over a hundred feet long emerged directly from Cihang Pudu's body.
One can clearly see the dense tentacles above the soul and the three true fires that are constantly burning the soul.
"Whoo~"
A gust of wind blew by, and the centipede demon's soul pounced directly towards Zhang Chu.
At this time, he did not give up hope, but instead wanted to take over Zhang Chu's body.
Under the lock of the soul, Zhang Chu had no way to dodge and could only watch as the soul pounced directly on him.
In fact, Zhang Chu was not afraid of the centipede demon taking over his body. With the Yue Shi Mirror in his hand, how could he be afraid of the centipede demon taking over his body?
What he was worried about was the calamity energy that was entangled with the centipede demon's soul. Once the calamity energy entered his body, it would be quite troublesome even with the calamity flag in his hand.
What's more, Zhang Chu's luck has reached its lowest point at this moment. Didn't you see that cracks have appeared in the dragon veins?
The centipede demon's soul had already entered Zhang Chu's body at this moment, but the Corpse King's formation did not stop operating, but became even more violent.
The four silver-armored corpses continued to devour the blood from the centipede monster's body. The copper-armored corpse that set up the formation was not to be outdone. After the formation blocked the city, the centipede monster's soul pounced into Zhang Chu's body.
The little demons in the city had lost their protection and were directly cut up and killed by the five or six thousand copper-armored corpses. For them, these little demons were the best blood food for their promotion. Suddenly, the blood color began to spread in the city. Everywhere there were cut up little demons being devoured by copper-armored corpses. As for the centipede monster's body, those copper-armored corpses could not get close to it at all, so it could only be enjoyed by the silver-armored corpses.
Zhang Chu's situation at the moment was not very good either. The Corpse King Banner was floating above Zhang Chu's head, completely covering him and controlling the Corpse King formation.
As for the Calamity Banner, it had already returned to Zhang Chu's sea of consciousness, constantly vibrating and absorbing the calamity energy brought by the centipede spirit.
You know, the calamity energy on the centipede monster is not only the ones that Zhang Chu entangled with it, but more of it is the calamity energy generated by his own devouring of the national destiny of a country.
If it weren't for the attack of Zhang Chu's Tribulation Banner and he had survived the tribulation of transforming into a dragon, those tribulation energies would naturally be nothing and could be easily suppressed.
However, after being provoked by Zhang Chu, he was faced with calamity again. Needless to say, how terrifying the calamity energy was before he died.
The Calamity Banner was constantly vibrating, and the calamity energy that the centipede spirit brought into Zhang Chu's body was constantly being absorbed.
As for the Samadhi True Fire?
The moment it entered Zhang Chu's body, it was directly taken back by Zhang Chu's Nascent Soul.
After all, the origin of the Samadhi True Fire lies in Zhang Chu's body.
The centipede demon's soul had already appeared in Zhang Chu's sea of consciousness, but before he started to attack Zhang Chu's Nascent Soul, a bronze mirror full of cracks began to shine brightly.
The extremely powerful soul of the centipede demon was absorbed by the cracked bronze mirror and suppressed inside it before it could react.
However, even so, Zhang Chu's own crisis was not resolved.
At the moment the centipede demon's soul was suppressed, the calamity energy that came with its soul was directly expelled by the Yue Shi Mirror and appeared in Zhang Chu's sea of consciousness.
The calamity energy that had been entangled with the centipede monster also lost its target, and continued to gather towards Zhang Chu, as if it regarded him as the centipede monster.
Zhang Chu sat cross-legged directly in the Corpse King's formation and began to use the Calamity Banner to devour his sea of consciousness and the calamity energy that was gathering from afar.
As the aura of disaster permeated, Zhang Chu's consciousness became a little blurred. Only the constantly flashing frost blades and dragon veins could allow Zhang Chu to maintain a glimmer of clarity.
Zhang Chu, sitting in the formation, waited silently, waiting for the Calamity Banner to completely absorb all the calamity energy, at least the calamity energy in its body, before he could take action.
The fighting in the city showed no sign of stopping. Perhaps the centipede demon was too confident, as he brought all his descendants into the city.
Hundreds of thousands of little centipede monsters also went crazy at this moment.
I can't run away, and I can't surrender. What should I do if I don't fight?
With the Corpse King Banner in place, even without Zhang Chu's control, the Corpse King formation is enough to kill hundreds of thousands of centipede monsters.
Outside the formation, Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu Yiye and others were looking at the formation wrapped in black fog in front of them with great solemnity. They didn't know what the situation was inside.
"Two Taoist priests,"
Xiahou glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye and Yan Chixia and said, "Is our Taoist master okay?"
"do not know!"
Zhiqiu Yiye and Yan Chixia shook their heads solemnly.
No matter how many rare treasures Zhang Chu has, the centipede demon is, after all, a demon king who is about to transform into a dragon. In terms of strength, he is second to none in the world.
They were also not sure whether Zhang Chu was in trouble or not.
All we can do now is wait, wait for the formation to dissipate, wait for the final result.
As for rushing directly into the formation to take a look?
Neither Zhiqiu Yiye nor Yan Chixia had the confidence to break through the blockade of the formation.
There were five or six thousand refined corpses, and among them there was a large formation set up by four silver-armored corpses. If they failed to enter the formation and were attacked by it instead, that would be terrible.
After all, in their opinion, Zhang Chu was concentrating on running the formation to deal with the centipede monster!
If they break the blockade of the formation and rush in rashly, and the centipede monster escapes, there will be no peace in the world forever.
"Master Yan,"
After being silent for a while, Zhiqiu Yiye spoke up, "Do you know the origin of that Taoist?"
"origin?"
Yan Chixia glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye and shook his head, "I don't know, we just killed monsters together!"
"Back then, Fellow Daoist Changsheng was still in the Golden Core Realm!"
"Golden Core Realm?"
Zhiqiu Yiye glanced at Yan Chixia and said, "Didn't that happen decades ago?"
"Decades?"
Yan Chixia glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye in surprise, "Not decades, maybe just two or three years!"
"what?"
Zhiqiu Yiye suddenly seemed to have received a great shock, "How is it possible?"
"How could he reach the Nascent Soul stage in just two or three years?"
"How is it impossible?"
Yan Chixia glanced at Zhiqiu Yiye in confusion, "I have only spent more than ten years to achieve this level of cultivation!"
"You are joking!"
Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes widened immediately, and even his voice changed, "More than ten years, to cultivate to the Yuanshen realm?"
A wild Taoist priest achieved the level of a spiritual master in just over ten years?
How can it be?
Zhiqiu Yiye couldn't believe his ears.
Then, as a direct disciple of Taoism, hasn't he been living a dog's life all these years?
"How could this old Taoist be joking?"
Yan Chixia immediately became serious, "Since I received the legacy from my ancestors, it has indeed been more than ten years since I have achieved my current level of cultivation!"
"This is impossible!"
Zhiqiu Yiye looked deeply shocked. He could not believe that there was such a person in the world who had risen from an ordinary person to the realm of Yuanshen in just over ten years.
However, looking at Yan Chixia's serious eyes, he knew in his heart that Yan Chixia was not joking.
However, the more this happened, the greater the blow to Zhiqiu Yiye.
Could it be that all these years of practicing Taoism he had really benefited from being a dog?
