Chapter 234: Crushing With Overwhelming Momentum
The Troop Devouring Ghost Moth hung in the midst of Ten Thousand Ren, with Netherworld Power continuously spreading from its body, as if forming a powerful Domain.
Xia Xier and the others all turned pale, their eyes even carrying a hint of confusion.
This, how many is this already.
The Shadow Horn Spider battling Gu Lingfeng, the Flame Armored Scorpion suppressing Xing Xi Yang, the Six-Winged Blood Centipede currently in combat with Gu Nian, and the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust controlling swarms of Blood Bees like a heavenly disaster, suppressing the group of Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts.
Any single Contracted Beast was comparable to Half-step Dan Qiao, and all had the qualifications to break through to third-order.
Even a Dharma Aspect True Person’s foundation might not be this solid, right?
Even if the Contracted Beasts under a Beast King Sect Dharma Aspect True Person numbered more than one, the true breakthrough to fourth-order Beast King was very likely only one, with the others being Contracted Beasts one order lower.
The same held true above Dan Qiao True Persons: one same-order Contracted Beast, several slightly weaker ones, and that was it.
But four Half-step Dan Qiao—this quantity was too terrifying.
And now, Su Yan actually had another Fierce Insect of unknown strength, with weapons filling the sky, its ferocious might overwhelming.
Xia Xier didn’t think those phantoms were just for show.
“Go all out!”
All Martial Artists from Nine Peaks Sect, Sword One Sect, and Monster Suppressing Guard pushed their True Intent Beast Spirits to the limit, their figures charging forward like Giant Beasts assaulting a city, concentrating all attacks on Su Yan’s body.
Though the crowd was shocked in their hearts, they were all elite sect disciples; once they snapped back, they knew they only had this one chance to go all in.
Xia Xier also revealed her trump card at this time, releasing a cyan Spirit Sealing Talisman from her sleeve.
The Spirit Sealing Talisman grew against the wind, transforming into a cyan wood multi-clawed beast.
Five zhang tall, its claws swinging like axes, comparable to a Dan Qiao strike.
“Suppress!”
The Troop Devouring Ghost Moth urged the Netherworld Power around its body, a Severed Head Tiger Seal suddenly condensing, pressing down like a massive millstone.
The air seemed to congeal; the Spirit Sealing cyan wood multi-clawed beast drew power from Xia Xier, charging up to attack the Severed Head Tiger Seal.
A rumbling roar sounded, like thunder.
The cyan attack shattered in mid-air, and the Severed Head Tiger Seal also stalled in the air, three cracks appearing.
Xia Xier’s face turned white; though most of the True Essence consumed by the third-order low-grade Spirit Sealing Talisman was borne by the talisman itself, a portion of the trigger still needed her supply.
This was no small consumption.
A faint hissing sound came, Netherworld Power injecting into the Severed Head Tiger Seal; with a flow of light, the cracks instantly healed.
Xia Xier’s face changed drastically as the Severed Head Tiger Seal fell.
Rumble
This time, the cyan wood multi-clawed beast had no time to draw more True Essence to resist, instantly shattered by the Severed Head Great Seal through its body, turning into countless streams of light and reverting to the Spirit Sealing Talisman.
With Xia Xier’s True Essence exhausted, taking another strike activated her Jing Tian Token instantly, teleporting her out.
Soldiers Fall to Netherworld!
Over twenty disciples from the three sects all rushed to Su Yan’s front, countless attacks coming like meteors.
The Troop Devouring Ghost Moth flew in front of them, Netherworld Power spreading out to halt all those attacks one by one, resolving them; a strange backlash immediately struck the crowd, their Qi and Blood surging uncontrollably.
Soldiers Fall to Netherworld!
Countless weapons fell together from mid-air, real and illusory interweaving like lightning shooting down, straight at the disciples of Nine Peaks Sect, Sword One Sect, and Monster Suppressing Guard.
They looked grave and resisted with all their might, using weapons to shatter or True Intent Beast Spirits to launch attacks that broke the weapon phantoms one by one.
Weapons falling like a curtain of rain—knife and sword-like Weapons, sharp and hard to block, but still within the range that could be shattered.
But when the next wave came, with special weapon phantoms like the Severed Head Tiger Seal, that power was hard to withstand.
And among the phantoms were third-order Spirit Artifact replicas: Moonwatching Sword, Wood Origin Flood Dragon Head Spear, Greedy Wolf Black Corrosion Sword…
Though the Troop Devouring Ghost Moth hadn’t yet devoured these weapons, the replicas’ power was less than thirty or forty percent, but the damage from third-order Spirit Artifacts far exceeded other weapons.
The red light of Jing Tian Tower kept flashing, one after another teleported out of the Secret Realm; in just a few exchanges, all twenty disciples were cleared instantly.
This overwhelming offensive left Gu Lingfeng and the other two utterly shocked.
Impossible to fight head-on!
Xing Xi Yang, Gu Nian, and Gu Lingfeng’s hearts chilled; even with their high self-regard, they no longer believed they could handle a monster like Su Yan.
That Fierce Insect hovering in mid-air was fundamentally a third-order Calamity Beast.
How was this thing brought in?!
They cursed inwardly, but they also knew this was within the rules; Beast King Sect disciples’ Contracted Beasts were like their tools and means—as long as not cheating control methods, it was within bounds.
Just like them, weren’t third-order Spirit Sealing Talismans also brought in?
Right now, Su Yan controlled the Troop Devouring Ghost Moth so effortlessly, with Hundred Poisons Gu Seal floating around his body—clearly his own Contracted Beast.
In this situation, no one could fault him.
The three almost simultaneously unleashed killing moves, charging at their respective opponents.
“Too late.”
Su Yan slightly raised his eyes, revealing a smile.
Hundred Poisons Gu Seals floated around him, instantly linking 213 of them to the Flame Armored Scorpion, Six-Winged Blood Centipede, and Shadow Horn Spider; vast True Essence surged into their bodies.
The next moment, powerful Power soared skyward, like Condensing Momentum, shaking everything around.
Xing Xi Yang and the other two’s faces changed drastically, Condensing Momentum Power defenses forming in front of them.
They used every means: Xing Xi Yang’s Inner Armor surfaced with Firelight, merging with his Profound Fire Snake True Intent into a fire snake armor.
Gu Nian’s Vajra Sword Tiger retracted all Golden Light, his Heavy Sword transforming layer by layer into an extremely solid heavy shield, wide like a thick heavy gate.
Gu Lingfeng directly sacrificed a Spirit Sealing Talisman, which transformed into a heavy-armored profound turtle, steadily protecting him behind it.
“Useless—break for me.”
Su Yan simply injected more energy into the three Fierce Insects.
Flame Armored Scorpion’s mouth spat fire pillars like dragons, Demonic Fire directly engulfing Xing Xi Yang himself.
The flames on that fire snake armor couldn’t block for even a moment before being devoured clean, converted into Demonic Fire blasting him.
In one exchange, before the Firelight even faded, Xing Xi Yang was teleported out of the Secret Realm by Jing Tian Token due to heavy injury.
On Gu Nian’s side, Six-Winged Blood Centipede spat endless Poisonous Mist; green mist like a tornado continuously surrounded him, the fierce Toxin corroding his Heavy Sword pitted in mere moments.
Even Gu Nian himself now had a dark green flash across his face, vomiting large amounts of Blood, his body heavily wounded.
“Jing Tian Token.”
He immediately activated his Jing Tian Token voluntarily, his figure flashing and vanishing.
The remaining heavy-armored profound turtle summoned by Gu Lingfeng was instantly wrapped by sharp Shadow Silk, gaining thousands of deep gashes in a blink.
Gu Lingfeng stared at Su Yan, his eyes sharp like thrusting a sharp sword.
“Shadow Sword.”
Su Yan raised his eyes; the Shadow Horn Spider sensed it, and under his control, countless shadows around turned into sharp swords flying over.
Gu Lingfeng swung his sword in slashes, forming a sword net like silver threads.
The shadow swords were dark, yet like ink spreading everywhere, staining all.
The sword net shattered, shadow swords piercing Gu Lingfeng’s body, instantly heavily wounding him; under Jing Tian Token protection, his figure vanished immediately.
“This, this couldn’t be an Illusion, right?!”
Yuan Yi was stunned; not just him, but Zhao Mingcheng, Suo Yunyi, and Lan Yunyue beside him were no better off.
The four felt like their heads were stuffed with a big lump of mush, utterly unable to comprehend what was happening before them.
Just a second ago, they had prepared to desperately cover for Su Yan, joining forces against the disciples of Nine Peaks Sect, Sword One Sect, and Monster Suppressing Guard.
Yet how much time had passed—not even a cup of tea—before the situation reversed instantly; Su Yan cleared all opponents with his Contracted Beasts in one exchange.
If this were on a Battlefield, these disciples wouldn’t get off with just injury—they’d be dead.
“There are still Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts; if you don’t act, I’ll kill them all.”
Shadow Horn Spider’s countless Shadow Silks had woven into a thousand-meter Large Net, enclosing all Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts here.
Six-Winged Blood Centipede’s massive mouth spewed Poisonous Mist like a shadow following, devouring every approaching Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast; large amounts of Essence Blood were integrating into its body, continuously raising its maturity.
Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust, Shadow Horn Spider, and Flame Armored Scorpion were all devouring these Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts.
It wouldn’t be long before these tens of thousands of Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts were slaughtered clean.
“No need.”
Yuan Yi immediately shook his head, saying gravely: “These are Junior Brother’s spoils of war. Junior Brother, exposing your strength like this—after we leave, all factions will be extremely wary of you, even…”
——
“What’s going on—why were so many disciples suddenly teleported out? What exactly happened?!”
On the Dali Profound Boat, Qi Nianshuang’s face was ashen; over twenty people eliminated one after another—this was unprecedented in Blood Flood Dragon Secret Realm.
Could it be a Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast outbreak…
He was about to use a Secret Technique to urge Jing Tian Tower to check the Secret Realm, but the next moment he froze.
Gu Lingfeng actually tumbled out of the Secret Realm too, fallen into coma like the previous disciples.
He flew to Gu Lingfeng’s side, reaching out to probe his body.
He was immediately shocked, his heart shaken: “Over ten piercing wounds, caused in an instant; without Jing Tian Tower, he’d be dead.”
Jing Tian Tower forcibly teleports people out, always at critical moments, so those who come out fall into coma.
He immediately took out a second-order Pill, fed it into Gu Lingfeng’s body, dissolving the Medicinal Potency with True Essence.
Gu Lingfeng then awoke, eyes wide: “Su Yan!”
This roar was heard by all; Yan Yin flashed over, arriving before him.
“Yan Yin, what are you doing?”
Zang Liangcai stepped forward to block; Mu Yu drifted over: “Fellow Daoist Zang, no rush—merely concerned for Nephew Disciple Gu’s condition.”
Zang Liangcai glanced at Mu Yu; Qi Nianshuang patted Gu Lingfeng’s body, using Divine Sense to jolt him fully awake, asking gravely: “Lingfeng, what exactly happened?”
Gu Lingfeng’s expression was slightly dazed, saying with difficulty: “Su Yan defeated all of us in merely a cup of tea’s time.”
“What?!”
All Dan Qiao True Persons changed expressions; this wasn’t two or three small fry, but over twenty at least Spirit Merging Stage Perfection True Intent Realm Martial Artists.
Including no lack of Half-step Dan Qiao like Gu Lingfeng.
Even a First Heaven Dan Qiao True Person couldn’t take down the crowd so easily, even if standing undefeated.
“Senior Brother Gu is right.”
Before Qi Nianshuang could question, Gu Nian had already awakened with Sword One Sect’s help, gradually clearing the Toxin from his body.
He gave a bitter laugh: “Four Half-step third-order Contracted Beasts, one suspected third-order Fierce Insect—Beast King Sect’s foundation is truly…”
The crowd’s eyes widened in shock, but the most shocked among them were Yan Yin and Mu Yu.
The two looked at each other in shock, instinctively shaking their heads—they hadn’t used any tricks.
“Beast King Sect’s fine tricks, third-order Contracted Beasts…”
Qi Nianshuang questioned coldly, All Stars Heaven Aura surging skyward, scattering the clouds above.
Yan Yin’s gaze darkened, a dragon shadow suddenly appearing, eyes majestic like dragon eyes.
“Qi Nianshuang, you think we tampered?”
“Blood Flood Dragon Secret Realm allows under third-order; your disciple isn’t just a True Intent Realm Martial Artist?”
Their auras clashed, instantly making the atmosphere on Dali Profound Boat oppressively terrifying.
“Oh, you think Jing Tian Tower malfunctioned?”
Able to integrate Jing Tian Token into the body, cultivation absolutely couldn’t be Dan Qiao Realm.
Su Yan having third-order Contracted Beasts was still not against the rules.
“Brother Qi.”
Zang Liangcai pressed Qi Nianshuang’s shoulder, shaking his head with a grim face; Jing Tian Tower was a Dao Soldier—its divine might, even without owner urging, no less than Golden Body Realm powerhouse, naturally couldn’t err.
“It was his Contracted Beasts.”
Gu Lingfeng said gravely at this time: “Contracted Beasts refined by him, controlled by Beast Taming Seal—not forcibly subdued.”
Beast Taming Seal control, operating As Desired—that wasn’t sent in by trickery.
Moreover, since everyone could use third-order Spirit Sealing Talismans, what was wrong with Su Yan having third-order Contracted Beasts?
For a moment, the entire deck’s atmosphere was stifling; finally, Qi Nianshuang dispersed his aura, sighing: “Yan Yin, impressive skill, fine scheme—Beast King Sect truly produced a prodigy, but at this juncture… hmph.”
Yan Yin’s face was ugly, cursing inwardly: I just gave an instruction, did nothing—how’s this my fault?
His peripheral vision swept the other boats; those eliminated were successively awakening, the matter of Su Yan crushing the crowd gradually questioned out.
With his cultivation, he could faintly hear: four Fierce Insects, each ferociously powerful, Bloodline strength at least third-order Bloodline.
This meant that with enough Resources, he could have several third-order Contracted Beasts.
“Everyone, rumors about the Secret Realm may be mistaken—please take note, lest issues arise later causing misunderstanding with my sect.”
The voice was ice-cold, matching Yan Yin’s aura, making many hearts chill.
Those witnessing Su Yan eliminating the crowd were Monster Suppressing Guard and the two sects’ people, but those encountering Su Yan weren’t just them.
Now mutually inquiring and piecing together, Su Yan’s extraordinary prowess left a deep impression.
And this was the most Trouble thing: the wood stands out in the forest, and wind will surely destroy it.
Beast King Sect’s prodigy was likely an existence even some Righteous Path wanted to destroy.
Mu Yu worried in her heart, transmitting to Yan Yin: “Senior Brother, after Blood Flood Dragon Secret Realm ends, I’ll personally escort him back to the sect to avoid the spotlight.”
Yan Yin gave an imperceptible nod.
Suddenly someone exclaimed: “Quick, look at Su Yan’s Spirit!”
The crowd looked; on the rankings floating outside Jing Tian Tower, Su Yan’s corresponding rank rose continuously, instantly to first; his displayed Blood Flood Dragon Spirit count shockingly reached five digits:
Fifty-three thousand one hundred twenty-seven points.
Jing Tian Tower stood for centuries, Blood Flood Dragon Secret Realm opened over a hundred times, never had one person’s score reached this level.
