Chapter 388 - 218: Vajra Demon Suppression Bell

After all, Thousand Poison Sect’s people fleeing so fast surely wouldn’t lead to anything good. He didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity yet end up losing his life instead.

The disciples of Thousand Poison Sect were hurriedly escaping, even though their bodies were already exhausted, they still clenched their teeth, summoning every last ounce of strength. Especially the ones at the very back—their expressions seemed as if they regretted not being born with extra legs.

Gu Sheng, seeing the situation, urgently activated the Windrider Boots to widen the distance from Kang Tai, who was sprinting ahead.

"Brother Kang, please don’t rush! Give us a bit more time to get farther away!"

The two trailing at the back paled instantly when Kang Hong took out a red emblem and quickly shouted.

At this moment, the black mist emanating from Kang Tai’s thrown coronet had already been mostly dissolved by the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll. Suppressed Four Symbols Sacred Beasts were gradually regaining movement and seemed on the verge of breaking free.

As the Thousand Poison Sect core disciples ceased transferring Qi Blood Power, the flaming giant had also started to dissipate.

Without the flaming giant, Kang Tai wouldn’t stand a chance against the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts. Without hesitation, he crushed the emblem in his hand.

As the emblem shattered, four streaks of red light shot from Kang Tai’s hand and into four grand halls.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A thunderous explosion erupted in the four grand halls, firelight surged skyward, and horrifying shockwaves swept outward. The surrounding structures were instantly blown apart, fragments flying everywhere. The two stragglers at the back who hadn’t made it to a safe distance immediately disintegrated upon contact with the shockwave, their flesh scattering.

By this time, Kang Hong and the others had almost reached the entrance to the ruins. The shockwave was much weaker here, and Kang Tai swiftly threw out several talismans, forming a shield that blocked the remaining shockwave.

After the destruction of the four grand halls, the previously aggressive Four Symbols Sacred Beasts hovering in the air abruptly shut down, like powerless machines. Their radiance dimmed rapidly, and they returned to their original statue forms.

The statues of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts fell to the ground, instantly crumbling like fragile porcelain, scattering into shards all over. The once-terrifying aura had completely vanished.

With the disappearance of the black mist and the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, the brilliance on the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll gradually faded. The aura finally receded, settling onto the fragments of the Four Symbols Sacred Beast statues.

Glancing at the now-dust-settled Demon Suppression Golden Scroll—the aura tranquil—Kang Tai let out a long sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead using his sleeve, still rattled. "Phew! I really wonder how Lord Zhao and the Second Elder even came to know about this Demon Suppression Sect. The things here are simply too terrifying!"

The Thousand Poison Sect previously had access to a key to another sect’s ruins. However, those ruins were dilapidated under the erosion of time. Though there were still some reasonably good cultivation resources inside, along with restrictive arrays and captive bloodbeast monsters, their strength was relatively low. The strongest barely reached the level of Marrow Refining Realm Stage One or Two—a laughable comparison to the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array.

Had Wu Gui not prepared a trump card in advance, Kang Tai had no doubt they would have been directly obliterated by the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array!

Considering the sheer might of the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array, it absolutely exceeded the power of the Marrow Refining Realm.

"Brother Kang, let’s quickly grab the items and leave this place! These sect ruins are far too dreadful—even just one array is already this terrifying. If more bloodbeast monsters suddenly emerge, we’ll be finished!"

A core disciple of the Thousand Poison Sect nervously sidled up to Kang Tai as he spoke.

The methods Wu Gui provided them had already been exhausted. Without those unique talismans, even if Thousand Poison Sect’s disciples regrouped to form an array, it would be impossible to summon that fearsome flaming giant again.

Having witnessed the power of the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array, Kang Tai no longer wished to stay in this location. He gestured toward the disciple who had just spoken. "Then why don’t you go retrieve the Demon Suppression Token?" Kang Tai said with a smirk, patting the other’s shoulder. "When we return, I’ll be sure to mention your contribution to the Second Elder!"

The man’s face turned sour rather than pleased as he heard these words. "Uh... Brother Kang, I... I can’t do it! I’ve expended too much energy earlier, and now I’m dizzy and weak. You should ask someone else to go. Oh, I can’t—I need to meditate and recover immediately, or I’ll pass out for sure!"

The location of the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll was where the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array had been centered just moments ago. Although the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts’ statues had shattered, no one could guarantee that no other restrictions remained there. If such traps existed, approaching would be tantamount to courting death.

The shadow left by the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array was far too great. While saying so, the man began trying to flee.

Kang Tai sneered coldly, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back. "Oh? Is that so? Then let me, your senior brother, treat you!"

As he spoke, Kang Tai took out a pitch-black pill, his face splitting into a sinister grin. "Come, come, take this—this pill will cure all the ailments you just described."

Upon seeing the pill in Kang Tai’s hand, the man’s spirit instantly perked up. His previously feeble body turned firm, and his hazy gaze became sharp and resolute in an instant.

"Brother Kang, I suddenly feel refreshed and full of strength. I’ll go fetch the Golden Scroll!"

He was no stranger to the pill Kang Tai held—it was the infamous Hundred Poison Intestine-breaking Pill of the Thousand Poison Sect. Refined using over a hundred types of rare toxins, even practitioners at the Marrow Refining Realm would die in agony within moments after consuming it. The pill’s effects were exceptionally ruthless.

As someone in the Golden Bone Realm, if he consumed it, he’d undoubtedly meet King Yan immediately.
