Chapter 1242 - 430: Arrow Tao Breakthrough, Magic Arrow

Exorcising Demons Great Wall.

Xiao Poxu, Feng Qingyan, and Shangguan Yunzhi teamed up to deal with Zhao Rui and Qu San Yuan, only then managing to gain a slight upper hand.

But even so, there was no sign of breaking the stalemate.

And on the wasteland, whether it was the Great Han soldiers or the Tianshui cultivators, they were ultimately living beings of flesh and blood. How could they possibly oppose zombies, malicious spirits, and Blood Demons head-on?

Moreover, fighting on the incomplete Slaughter Vein, they were innately at a disadvantage, gradually falling into a predicament amidst the chaotic slaughter.

"What shall we do now..."

Feng Qingyan’s face was pale, his voice weak, "If this fighting continues, we can hold out for at most another half an incense stick’s time!"

"Yes."

Shangguan Yunzhi replied while dealing with the magical skills of the Nascent Soul of the Demon Path, his expression equally grave, "I perceive some movement from the direction of Bone-Eroding Ridge. It’s very likely that Sui Liyan has already slain Chen Lei. When he returns, I’m afraid we won’t even have the chance to escape."

Xiao Poxu’s Nascent Soul miniature sternly said, "If we leave, will Guangren Dao be lost?!"

Feng Qingyan anxiously said, "But Mr. Xiao, even if we don’t leave, won’t the final result be the same?"

"..."

Xiao Poxu was silent for a moment, then firmly said, "Then we’ll have to wait until Sui Liyan really comes back with Chen Lei’s head before saying anything!"

"..."

Feng Qingyan was helpless and could only continue to persist.

"Fellow Daoists, stop struggling in vain. Joining my Great Song Immortal Dynasty is the truly straightforward path!"

Zhao Rui spoke, transforming into a corpse dragon thousands of feet long, spiraling into the sky, then opened its massive mouth, spewing a waterfall of Ten Thousand Years Corpse Qi!

On the ground, Qu San Yuan waved the Mourning Stick, sharp cries akin to infants’ wails spread out, followed by countless resentful spirits with clawing gestures, rolling in overwhelming Corpse Qi, forming into a Yin Sha Formation that trapped the group within.

"Two fellow Daoists!"

Xiao Poxu looked to the side, "With the great enemy before us, won’t you reveal your trump cards?!"

Shangguan Yunzhi and his companion exchanged a glance, both hesitant.

They didn’t want to suffer too many losses at Guangren Dao.

As they hesitated, the ground suddenly started to shake violently.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Everyone turned their heads to see the wasteland’s edge, where a gigantic figure leaped into the air and then heavily landed again.

This was the figure of Ancient Demon Elder Sui Liyan.

Repeating this several times, it crossed a distance of over a thousand miles to the edge of the battlefield.

"Hehe~"

Qu San Yuan let out a sinister laugh, speaking to the righteous Nascent Souls, "Three Fellow Daoists, if you don’t abandon the city and flee now, it’ll be too late... Hmm?!"

She had only said half the sentence before her Divine Sense detected terrifying killing intent and pressure coming from behind. As she looked sideways, she saw the Ancient Demon Elder wielding chains, swinging a colossal axe like a mountain, smashing toward her!

"Watch out!"

Emperor Tianxi warned.

Qu San Yuan hurriedly lifted the hemp garment from her back, forming a black barrier in front of her.

"Boom——"

The giant axe fell, shattering the barrier.

She flew backward like a kite with a broken string, stopping only when she crashed against the boundary of the Exorcising Demons Great Wall, with black blood trailing from the corner of her mouth.

"Are you crazy?!"

Qu San Yuan was about to curse but noticed something was amiss.

She saw that flaming red flames with an ink-colored hue were burning in Sui Liyan’s seven orifices, starkly different from his original cultivation technique style.

On his massive shoulders stood a figure in a white robe.

"How are you together with him?!"

"No way..."

She used Investigation Magic to look and discovered that the Divine Soul in the Ancient Demon Elder’s Heavenly Spirit was already broken, only a spark left flickering inside, controlling the entire shell like a parasite.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could Qu San Yuan not see the strangeness?

But she...

Was unwilling to believe it!

"..."

Emperor Tianxi’s dragon body stiffened, eyes trembling incessantly, repeatedly confirming the scene in front of them.

In the end.

They had to acknowledge one truth.

And that was...

Sui Liyan was dead!

This Ancient Demon Clan’s Elder, a Martial Artist of the Heaven and Earth Realm, died at the hands of a Core Formation cultivator.

Not only that...

His body was also controlled by some kind of Puppetry Technique!

Not only were the two Demon Path cultivators shocked, Xiao Poxu and his two companions were equally astounded.

They originally thought that if the Ancient Demon Elder returned to Bone-Eroding Ridge, Chen’s escape would already be a miracle.

But the result...

Not only did Chen Sansi return, but he also killed Sui Liyan!

In the cultivation journey, the gap between realms becomes greater the further one progresses.

A gap of a few years in cultivation might exist between the Middle Stage and Late Stage of Qi Refinement, but between Core Formation and Nascent Soul, it’s often hundreds of years!

Though it’s rare, geniuses from each generation of young cultivators could achieve Killing Foundation Establishment from Qi Refinement.

Every few decades, stories circulate about someone using Foundation Establishment to kill a Core Formation, usually a true genius among geniuses!

But to use the Core Formation Realm, slaying a Martial Cultivator of the Heaven and Earth Realm alone...

It’s something unheard of for nearly five hundred years!

Simply put...

Inconceivable!

"Daoist Tianwu, such immense skill!"

Zhao Rui couldn’t help but ask, "Is this your doing, or the work of a Demon Seed?!"

"Don’t waste words!"

Chen Sansi, without further ado, crafted hand seals, controlling Fatian Xiangdi, swinging the Dragon Entwining Soul Shattering Axe. After stirring up whirlwind after whirlwind of Evil Qi, he fiercely cleaved forwards.

The corpse dragon Emperor Tianxi had transformed into raised nine long blades to block, and they collided with the mountain-like giant axe, splashing a massive sea of sparks.
