Join Forces to Slay the Rock-Scaled Serpent Demons
The horizon.
On the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, Ling Yunhong saw many Snake Demon emerging from the Snake Cave and realizing that they had been attacked. He immediately patted the Storage Bag at his waist and summoned three Second Rank Low Grade Azure Spirit Sword and fifteen First-Tier Superior-Grade Azure Spirit Sword, forming the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation by Hand Seals.
Once the Sword Formation was complete, each of the eighteen flying swords emitted Sword-Ray over ten feet long, as well as hundreds of smaller Sword-Ray.
"Go."
Ling Yunhong waved his hand and launched the Sword Formation at the dozens of Qi Training Stage Rock Scale Snake Demon that had just emerged from the Rock Scale Snake Den.
Then, he patted the head of the Immortal Spirit Crane King beneath him and said to it.
"Immortal Spirit, release your feathered arrows and join me in bombarding those dozens of Qi Refining Demon Snake."
Upon receiving the signal, the Immortal Spirit Crane King flashed with white light and used its spiritual power to conjure a hundred feathered arrows around its body.
Once the hundred arrows were formed, they were fired.
Then, Ling Yunhong said to those behind him.
"Peng Yun, I'll leave the defense to you for the rest of the battle."
Ling Pengyun nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious.
He patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoned the only Second Grade Magic Tool on his body Mixed Rock Shield, and infused it with spiritual power, erecting an earth-yellow defensive light screen that protected the entire body of the Immortal Spirit Crane King he was riding.
Then, he began to Hand Seals second-tier defensive Law Technique "Primal Water Technique," which he had only recently mastered.
In just nine breaths, he successively set up three Primal Water Light Screen around his body.
Although he had only studied this Law Technique for about two months, thanks to his good talent in Water-based Spell, he had already Law Technique it to a minor level.
It is barely possible; this technique can be performed within three breaths.
If it weren't for simultaneously maintaining the Mixed Rock Shield to support the light screen and the three Primal Water Light Screen, which had already reached the limit of Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense, he could have used the Primal Water Technique again to create even more light screens.
While Ling Pengyun was casting his spell, Ling Yunhong's Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, the hundreds of arrows conjured by the Immortal Spirit Crane King, and the flames spewing from the furnace summoned by Yang Changxing had already killed off the dozens of Qi Training Stage Rock Scale Demon Snake that had emerged from the Snake Cave.
But after only a few breaths, a Snake Demon that was three zhang long and as thick as a water bucket, and Snake Demon was five chi long and as thick as a millstone, crawled out of the Snake Cave Snake Cave with the remaining thirty or forty Qi Training Stage Snake Demon.
As soon as the snakes emerged from their Snake Cave, they unleashed Law Technique, bombarding Yang Changxing and the celestial Immortal Spirit Crane.
Above ground.
Yang Changxing's gaze settled on the enormous Snake Demon, which was five zhang long and covered in rocky scales. His expression brightened with joy, and he loudly called out to Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun, who were riding the Immortal Spirit Crane King in the sky.
"Ling Daoyou, Peng Yun, that Foundation Establishment Completion Rock Scale Demon Snake has appeared. I'll hold it off for now. You two should kill that Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Snake Demon and those dozens of Qi Training Stage Snake Demon as soon as possible."
After saying that, he quickly formed hand Hand Seals, condensing a spiritual Law Seals and sending it into the furnace floating in front of him.
As soon as the Law Seals entered the furnace, the furnace began to shine brightly.
In an instant, a large amount of flames surged from the furnace, quickly trapping the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon who had just led the snake horde out of the Snake Cave. The flames continuously scorched the Demon Snake's body.
As for the earth-based Law Technique launched by the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Snake Demon and dozens of Qi Refining Snake Demon, they were all blocked by the cyan light barrier erected by the cyan bronze bell above Yang Changxing 'Yang Changxing head, posing no threat to him.
On the horizon, on the back of Immortal Spirit Crane.
Having received Yang Changxing's signal, Ling Yunhong first greeted the Immortal Spirit Crane King beneath him.
"Immortal Spirit, you first entangle that Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Snake, I'll take care of the remaining thirty or forty Qi Refining Snake Demon."
Upon receiving the order, the Immortal Spirit Crane King swiftly complied, flapping its wings to conjure countless feathered arrows that hurtled towards the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment snake Snake Demon on the ground.
The Snake Demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment was not afraid when it saw the hundred feathered arrows coming.
It roared, and hundreds of yellow light spots appeared around its body.
In a short while, the hundred yellow light spots condensed into a hundred Earth Thorn.
As soon as the Earth Thorn formed, the Snake Demon blasted them away, sending them flying towards the hundred feathered arrows falling from the sky.
When the two collided, the feathered arrow conjured by the Immortal Spirit Crane King was slightly inferior.
All the hundred feathered arrows were shattered, but more than ten of the hundred Earth Thorn conjured by the Snake Demon still had some strength left, which were aimed at the Immortal Spirit Crane King.
If it weren't for Ling Pengyun's Primal Water Light Screen blocking those dozen or so Earth Thorn, the Immortal Spirit Crane King would have definitely suffered a hidden loss.
While the Immortal Spirit Crane King was fighting the Snake Demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment stage, Ling Yunhong was not idle either.
He mobilized his Divine Sense, controlling the Sword Formation to carry Sword Light Torrent, blasting away the second wave of Qi Training Stage Snake Demon that surged out of the Snake Cave.
These Snake Demon were only at the Qi Refining Qi Training Stage after all. Even though Snake Demon all used the Rock Armor Technique to enhance their bodies, making their scales extremely strong.
However, the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation formed by the convergence of those eighteen flying swords was extremely powerful.
The scales of those Qi Refining Demon Snake were like thin paper in front of the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation, easily torn at the slightest touch.
This also meant that after the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation attacked two or three times, the dozens of Qi Refining Snake Demon on the ground were completely slaughtered.
Having dealt with the Qi Refining Snake Demon, Ling Yunhong naturally turned his attention to the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Rock Scale Snake Demon.
Determined to end the battle quickly, Ling Yunhong immediately unleashed his killing move.
"The Melt Word Swordplay Secret"
"Condensation."
Ling Yunhong's fingers moved in a series of gestures, and all eighteen flying swords that were attacking the Rock Scale Snake Demon flashed with spiritual light.
In a moment, they merged into one.
Ultimately, it became a special flying sword, four feet long, with sword-shaped patterns all over its blade, and a six-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Sword-Ray at its tip.
As soon as the sword was completed, it was thrown out by Ling Yunhong.
Outside the Snake Cave, the Rock Scale Snake Demon, who was fighting the Immortal Spirit Crane King in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, sensed a huge Sword-Ray of extraordinary power approaching from the surrounding area. Without hesitation, relying on the power of his inner core, he used his Protective Yuan Qi to create an earth-yellow light screen to block the incoming flying sword.
"Boom."
The giant flying sword struck the light screen, producing a deafening roar.
A huge Ripples Marketplace was also created by the bombardment of the giant sword.
In addition, countless feathered arrows fired by the Celestial Immortal Spirit Crane King bombarded the light barrier.
In less than three breaths, the huge flying sword that Ling Yunhong had unleashed struck the light barrier, and tiny cracks appeared on it.
These cracks gradually spread across the entire light screen.
Then, the light curtain shattered.
However, the Snake Demon in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment was not to be trifled with. With a fierce expression, it spat out its inner core, which it had nurtured for hundreds of years, to meet the incoming six-zhang Sword-Ray.
The Snake Demon demon's inner core clashed with the Sword-Ray, producing a metallic clang.
The two were locked in a tug-of-war for a moment, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Although the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation Melt Word Swordplay Secret is powerful, that Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Snake Demon after hundreds of years of nurturing.
As for the countless feathered arrows fired by the Immortal Spirit Crane King, they were temporarily blocked by the Snake Demon's sturdy scales, which were enhanced with the Rock Armor Technique.
Seeing this situation, Ling Yunhong frowned and spat out the "Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword," his natal Lifebound Magic Item that he had forged several years ago.
Over the past few years, he has nurtured the sword in his Dantian. Although the sword is still of the Second Rank Low Grade, the cold aura it exudes is several times stronger than it was a few years ago.
"Condense." Ling Yunhong channeled a stream of spiritual energy into the sword.
With the help of spiritual power, a three-zhang-long icy Sword-Ray suddenly burst forth from the tip of the sword.
"Go!" Ling Pengyun raised his hand and struck out.
The Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword transformed into Dao Sword, instantly traversing half a mile and cleaving the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Snake Demon, who was using its inner core to resist the six-zhang Sword-Ray, in two.
With the death of this Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Snake Demon, the inner core that had withstood the six-zhang Sword-Ray's attack immediately dimmed and fell to the ground.
"Immortal Spirit, join me in attacking the last Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon."
Ling Yunhong called out.
Then, relying on his Divine Sense, he controlled the six-zhang Sword-Ray and the Icy Cold Flying Sword to bombard the body of the Foundation Establishment Completion Rock Scale Demon Snake, which was trapped in the large area of flames conjured by Yang Changxing.
Although the scales on the body of the Foundation Establishment Completion Rock Scale Snake Demon were strong in defense, they had reached their limit in resisting the raging flames summoned by Yang Changxing.
With Ling Yunhong and the Immortal Spirit Crane King joining the attack, many of the solid rock scales on the giant body of the Foundation Establishment Completion Ling Yunhong Demon Snake were shattered by the six-zhang Sword-Ray, the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword, and the countless feather arrows conjured by the Immortal Spirit Crane King, leaving streaks of blood.
"Hiss."
The Snake Demon, Foundation Establishment Completion, roared in pain and quickly raised its Protective Yuan Qi.
A yellowish-brown light barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the raging flames, the enormous Sword-Ray Sword-Ray, and countless feathered arrows.
This Snake Demon, having Foundation Establishment Completion, has lived for nearly a thousand years and possesses some intelligence.
After stabilizing the situation with its Protective Yuan Qi, it realized that if it didn't fight to the death this time, it probably wouldn't have much of a chance of survival.
Having made up its mind, it roared again, opened its mouth with great reluctance, and spat out an inner core the size of a fist, which it directly blasted towards the Immortal Spirit Crane King, which was the weakest point in the defense and could be used as a breakthrough.
Although Ling Pengyun had erected three Primal Water Light Screen and one Mixed Rock Shield Light Screen around the Immortal Spirit Crane King, all four light screens were of the Second Rank Low Grade.
Meanwhile, Yang Changxing, who was attacking the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon, was only protected by a light barrier around his body. However, that light barrier was transformed from a Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, making its defensive power extremely strong.
Faced with the choice between the two sides, the Snake Demon who Foundation Establishment Completion naturally turned its attention to the Immortal Spirit Crane King in the sky.
The inner core unleashed by the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it traversed half a mile and directly struck the outermost layer of the Primal Water Light Screen protecting the Immortal Spirit Crane King.
"Boom."
A tremendous roar resounded.
The Primal Water Light Screen protecting the Immortal Spirit Crane King was, after all, only used by Ling Pengyun had recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
On the other hand, the Snake Demon demon's inner core had been nurtured for nearly a thousand years, making it comparable to Higher Vehicle Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact. Moreover, it was enhanced by spiritual power, and a single strike could exert a force of nearly 100,000 jin.
Under the immense force of the attack, the three Primal Water Light Screen that Ling Pengyun had set up before the battle were as thin as paper and shattered with a single blow.
Only the magical shield formed by Ling Pengyun's Mixed Rock Shield managed to barely block the Snake Demon demon's inner core.
However, the light screen supported by the Mixed Rock Shield also developed many small cracks due to the bombardment of the inner core.
It's only a matter of time before this light barrier is broken.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who was riding on the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, became very serious. Without hesitating for too long, he quickly formed hand Hand Seals and used the Primal Water Technique.
Three breaths later, Ling Pengyun once again erected Primal Water Light Screen.
The Snake Demon demon's inner core shattered the Mixed Rock Shield that had erected the light barrier, and then struck the newly conjured Primal Water Light Screen.
Because the inner core had just shattered three Primal Water Light Screen and Dao Techniques Shield Light Barrier, its power had been greatly reduced, with less than 10% of its original strength remaining.
Therefore, it was difficult to break through the Primal Water Light Screen, but it only stirred up a huge Ripples Marketplace on the light barrier.
On the ground, the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon, which had erected Protective Yuan Qi to withstand countless flames, giant flying swords, and countless feathered arrows, saw that the remaining power of its inner core was about to be exhausted and it would be difficult to shatter the last Primal Water Light Screen around the Immortal Spirit Crane King. It quickly summoned its inner core back to its front.
As soon as the inner core retreated to its side, the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon frantically poured its spiritual power into the inner core.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, the inner core shone with unparalleled brilliance.
Under the control of the Snake Demon demon's Divine Sense, this inner core once again blasted towards the Immortal Spirit Crane King in the sky.
Just as Ling Pengyun was about to cast another Primal Water Technique, he saw the inner core that had just retreated suddenly return with great force. His Hand Seals hardened, and he used the Primal Water Talisman that Ling Yunhong had given him two months ago to create another Primal Water Light Screen.
Knowing the power of the Snake Demon's inner core, he understood that three Primal Water Light Screen alone would be insufficient to withstand the attacking inner core, so he asked Ling Yunhong, who was sitting on the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, for help.
"Third Grandfather, the three Primal Water Light Screen I summoned are insufficient to withstand the Snake Demon demon's inner core that is attacking again. Please lend a hand."
Ling Yunhong, who was fully activating the Earthly Fiend Sword Formation Melt Word Swordplay Secret and condensing a six-zhang Sword-Ray to bombard the Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon supporting its inner core, heard this and turned his gaze to the attacking demon core, then looked at the three Primal Water Light Screen protecting the Immortal Spirit Crane King and himself, and frowned.
If the incoming demon cores are not blocked, once the three Primal Water Light Screen Barriers conjured by Ling Pengyun are broken one after another, the Immortal Spirit Crane King will surely be blasted away.
And since he was riding on the back of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, he was bound to meet a bad end.
Forced by the perilous situation, he had no choice but to spare some of his strength, taking out a small golden shield from his Storage Bag, and infusing spiritual power into the shield to create a golden light barrier.
At the same time, he switched his finger techniques and summoned back the giant flying sword that had been bombarding the Protective Yuan Qi of the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon on the ground along with Yang Changxing and the Immortal Spirit Crane King, as well as the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword.
The two flying swords were extremely fast, even faster than the Snake Demon's demon core, and intercepted the attacking demon core halfway through its flight.
"Clank!"
The demon core collided with the two flying swords, producing two ear-piercing clangs of metal.
Although the demon core was powerful, Ling Yunhong's special flying sword, which was transformed by the Melt Word Swordplay Secret using eighteen flying swords, and the Azure Sea Icy Cold Flying Sword were not weak either.
If those two flying swords were to fight one-on-one, they would naturally be no match for the demon core containing nearly 100,000 jin of immense strength.
With the combined power of the two swords, they could barely withstand one or two of the demon core's damage.
"Yang Daoyou, I can use this inner core to hold you back for a moment. Quickly unleash your Returning Ruins Flame to kill that Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon, whose strength has been greatly reduced due to the absence of an inner core, in case anything goes wrong."
Seeing that his twin swords had blocked the incoming demon core, Ling Yunhong quickly called out to Yang Changxing, who was controlling a furnace on the ground and conjuring flames to trap the Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon.
Although the inner core of Demon Beast is powerful, once it leaves the body, the Demon Beast beast's strength will be greatly reduced, at most only about 70% of its full strength.
