The Beast Soul Scroll, Fleeing by Sword
Screech! Crack!
As Kong Wenxuan killed Du Zikai, the three Second Tier flying beasts he controlled and commanded with the "The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest" Divine Ability — Second Tier mountain sparrow, Second Tier gray crane, and Second Tier Flamingo "Starlight Cuckoo" that had possessed and taken over his body immediately collapsed. The three Second Tier flying beasts regained their freedom and raised their heads, letting out long cries and howls.
Then, the three Second Tier flying Demon Beast, now free, viciously pounced on the remaining Du Household cultivators.
Although they lack intelligence and wisdom, their instinct to hold grudges is clearly quite strong.
Kong Wenxuan was delighted to see this.
"Fifth Brother!" At this moment, a painful roar rang out from the side, and a figure swiftly charged towards Kong Wenxuan, shouting angrily, "Kong Household brat, you dare kill my fifth brother? You're courting death! Do you really think the Du Household has no other means besides beast taming?!"
Kong Wenxuan turned his head and saw Du Ziting, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Du Household.
The other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Du Household who had long been stationed at "Demon-Suppressing Pass"Demon-Suppressing Pass and was in charge of the exploration, development, and clearing of the mountains outside the pass.
He was considered one of the most warlike and skilled warriors in the Du Household.
Later, when the Du Household prepared to attempt to reach the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" level, the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" shifted from offense to defense, and Du Zhimin was transferred back to the Lineage and replaced by Du Zhimin to oversee the "Demon-Suppressing Pass".
So, in fact, Kong Wenxuan had never met Du Ziting before. However, before coming to "Cuckoo County," the clan chief had given him a detailed introduction to the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Du Household and shown him images of these Foundation Establishment, so he naturally recognized him.
At this moment, Du Ziting attacked him. Although his beasts and birds were entangled by the "Fire Crow Clone" of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ya Household, the opponent took out a scroll and unfolded it.
The scroll depicted mountains upon mountains, one after another, a cluster of peaks that Kong Wenxuan noticed at a glance resembled the mountains outside the "Demon-Suppressing Pass."
Within these mountains in the scroll painting, one can see birds flying and beasts roaming, with all sorts of Demon Beast living among them.
As Du Ziting activated the scroll, a large amount of spiritual light burst forth. The next moment, the sounds of birdsong and beast roars rang out, and the birds, beasts, and Demon Beast living in the mountains within the scroll rushed out from within, charging towards Kong Wenxuan like a beast tide.
"These are... beast souls!"
Kong Wenxuan was startled by the surging beast tide, thinking that the other party had some kind of Law Treasure for raising Demon Beast. But he quickly realized that these surging Demon Beast and birds had no physical bodies and were just Demon Beast souls.
The scroll in Du Ziting's hand, though described as a "beast-taming painting," is more accurately described as a special "soul-controlling banner."
As for the origin of these beast souls, they were probably obtained by the other party during his time guarding the "Demon-Suppressing Pass" while clearing out the Demon Beast in the mountains outside the pass, and were then refined into this "Beast Soul Scroll"!
Moreover, among these surging demonic beast tides, the majority were First Tier Demon Beast souls, with only five truly Second Tier Demon Beast souls.
Furthermore, now that he knew that what was charging at him were only beast souls, Kong Wenxuan naturally had ways to deal with them.
Lili!
A clear Peacock song rang out, Kong Wenxuan immediately activated the illusion technique of the "Peacock Soul-Bewitching Scripture." Each of the five "Five Elements Divine Swords" had a bewitching "eye" appearing on it, flashing with bewitching light.
A Five-Colored Peacock, seemingly real yet ethereal and possessing a mesmerizing power, materialized above the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation." It raised its head and sang a clear song, Peacock Spreads Its Tail. Brilliant and captivating five-colored radiance instantly spread out, pouring down and enveloping the charging tide of beast souls.
The next moment, the charging beast soul demon tide collapsed and fell into chaos. A large number of flying and walking beast demon souls were directly trapped in the illusion and began to fight each other.
Even the five leading Second Tier Demon Beast souls were in the same predicament, trapped in an illusion, and attacking wildly in all directions.
In just a short while, more than half of the numerous Demon Beast souls that had charged forward were killed, wounded, or dissipated in the chaotic battle, rendering them unable to gain any real strength.
At this moment, Kong Wenxuan activated the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation". The five elements generated each other, and the sword formation expanded, instantly engulfing the chaotic and fighting beast souls into the sword formation. Under the strangulation of the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation", three of the five Second Tier beast souls were killed on the spot, and most of the First Tier beast souls were killed or injured.
Sizzle!
Du Ziting's "Beast Soul Scroll" was also affected and backfired due to the killing of a large number of beast souls. With a cracking sound, a crack appeared, almost tearing the entire scroll in two.
Upon seeing this, Du Ziting nearly vomited blood in anger. He quickly formed hand seals, drawing down a large amount of starlight from the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" in the sky above the secret realm and letting it fall into the "Beast Soul Scroll," suppressing the scroll and preventing it from continuing to tear and destroy.
Subsequently, a large amount of starlight shot out from this "scroll," landing on the remaining Demon Beast souls, suppressing and protecting them. Finally, they were awakened from the illusion and stopped killing each other. Instead, they all rushed towards Kong Wenxuan.
Furthermore, with the suppression and protection of starlight, even if these Demon Beast souls fall into the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," Kong Wenxuan will no longer be able to kill them with a single sword strike, but will need to strike them several times and circulate the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" twice more.
Instantly, Kong Wenxuan was also entangled by the remaining Demon Beast souls, and was no longer able to kill the enemy as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Du Ziting breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then he took out more than a dozen talismans and raised them to activate.
The next moment, thunder roared down, and fireballs fell and exploded, all striking Kong Wenxuan's "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation".
These talismans were all Second Tier spirit talismans, and they were all the most powerful lightning and fire talismans.
Even Kong Wenxuan's "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," which had to both annihilate the souls of those Demon Beast and withstand the powerful attacks of these thunder and fire talismans, was struggling to hold on. It was blasted apart by more than a dozen bolts of lightning and flames on the spot.
Without the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" to block them, the remaining Demon Beast souls roared and howled as they rushed towards him.
Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan immediately recalled the five scattered "Five Elements Divine Swords". The "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" surrounded him to protect him and block the attacks of the remaining beast souls, while the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" fell to his feet.
Kong Wenxuan stepped directly onto the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" and rode away on it. Although he could not yet truly fly on the sword and enter and leave the azure sky, gliding and escaping over short distances was no problem.
While the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" carried Kong Wenxuan, although it could not achieve the escape speed of "Sword Qi Thunderclap," it was still far faster than ordinary escape speed, at least much faster than the speed of those remaining Demon Beast souls.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan escaped on the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" and quickly broke free from the encirclement of those Demon Beast souls, directly attacking Du Ziting.
Without the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation" cannot be formed, but the remaining four divine swords are enough to deal with Du Ziting alone.
He still used the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" to protect himself, while the "White Metal Divine Sword," with its strongest destructive power, launched the first attack.
Lili!
A clear Peacock cry rang out, and before the Golden Light Sword Threads formed by the "White Metal Divine Sword" could strike, a phantom of a "White Peacock" flashed past, raising its head and singing a clear song, Peacock Spreads Its Tail.
