CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 495 UNPARALLELED EVIL DEMON_1

"Damn it!"

Ling Chen’s True Qi flowed unceasingly into the Crimson Sword. He was completely restrained, unable to break free.

Just as Ling Chen was at his wit’s end, the Treasure Sword in front of him suddenly lit up inch by inch. A dazzling red light and an extremely powerful and sharp aura burst out from all around the sword, swiftly sweeping outwards!

"It worked!"

Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. He suddenly slapped both hands on the sword hilt. The next moment, the Treasure Sword at the center shot out dense red Sword Light. These rays of Sword Light formed a circular wave of sword energy that spread out like a tide.

SPLAT! SPLAT!

Just as the Tiger Demon Sect and Leopard Demon Sect were about to reach Ling Chen, they were struck by the sword qi and sent flying backward.

"Not good! This kid has gained control of the Array Formation!"

The Green-faced Demon Sect leader’s expression changed.

"Damn it! We must finish him off quickly! We can’t let him completely control this Array Formation!"

Xie Zhiqiu also looked awful. This little bastard’s luck is too good! I thought I had almost finished him off, but in the end, this kid managed to control the Array Formation.

"So what if you have more people and greater numbers? With this Array Formation, what can the four of you do even if you attack together?"

A smile crept onto the corner of Ling Chen’s mouth as he laughed heartily.

"You damn bastard! Do you really think I can’t do anything to you if you control the Array Formation?"

Xie Zhiqiu dodged the Red Sword Qi repeatedly. Then, he stopped, True Qi erupting from his body to form a dark Shield around him.

He muttered words as if he was invoking a mantra. Then, Xie Zhiqiu swallowed a black Elixir.

A strange black light flickered in his eyes. The next moment, Xie Zhiqiu’s body underwent a transformation. His muscles bulged dramatically, becoming huge and sturdy, and his height increased to over two meters.

The concentrated black True Qi quickly condensed on the surface of his body, finally forming a suit of black Armor, impervious to wind. His Demon Might surged dramatically.

"It’s the Sect Leader’s Asura War Technique."

Seeing Xie Zhiqiu’s transformation, the members of the Green-faced Demon Sect and the others present all had their eyes light up. So this is Xie Zhiqiu’s trump card; no wonder he was so confident.

After unleashing the Asura War Technique, Xie Zhiqiu’s strength undoubtedly skyrocketed, causing even the members of the Green-faced Demon Sect and the others to feel a shiver of fear.

This level of power was likely comparable to an expert at the Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm.

"Desolate Demon Saber!"

After his explosive increase in strength, Xie Zhiqiu immediately infused True Qi into the Wither-Flourish Demon Blade. An aura of desolation and violence quickly spread out. Then, his blade light became covered with a deathly grey color as he violently slashed through the air toward Ling Chen.

Seeing the blade light slashing towards him, Ling Chen changed his hand seals and continuously infused True Qi into the Crimson Sword before him. Instantly, a beam of sword qi shot out, fiercely striking the incoming blade light.

BANG!

The blade light and sword qi clashed, and both were obliterated almost simultaneously.

Frowning slightly, Ling Chen understood. Although this Array Formation is powerful, it’s too ancient. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be unable to repel Xie Zhiqiu, who is only at the Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm. Moreover, most of this Array Formation’s power is used to suppress the fierce demon below. The amount of power I can actually call upon is minuscule in comparison.

However, at this moment, Xie Zhiqiu used this opportunity to get in front of Ling Chen, swinging his blade towards Ling Chen’s neck.

Frowning, Ling Chen quickly drew his Thunder Shadow Sword to parry Xie Zhiqiu’s attack, and was forced back more than ten meters.

After forcing Ling Chen back, Xie Zhiqiu didn’t pursue him immediately. His gaze landed on the Crimson Sword that served as the Array Eye.

A glint flashed in Xie Zhiqiu’s eyes. "What a Peerless Treasure Sword! Capable of controlling such a large Array Formation, the quality of this sword must be extremely high."

With that, he reached out, grabbed the sword hilt, and attempted to pull the sword out.

"This sword must not be pulled out!" Ling Chen’s pupils shrank slightly. He knew very well what was being suppressed beneath this Array Formation. If this sword was pulled out, the Sword Formation would lose its power source and would likely be breached in an instant. If the demon trapped below escapes then, it will be disastrous.

"Just because you say it can’t, means it can’t?"

A scornful smile appeared on Xie Zhiqiu’s face. "A Divine Weapon like this? Only I am worthy of possessing it!"

Without another word, Xie Zhiqiu pulled the Treasure Sword out in one go.

This is bad. Ling Chen’s heart sank; he had an ominous premonition.

"HAHAHA! With the Divine Sword in hand, who can possibly be my opponent? Ling Chen, let’s see if you can escape death today!"

Xie Zhiqiu burst into laughter. His gaze towards Ling Chen was no different than looking at a corpse.

However, just as Xie Zhiqiu’s laughter subsided, he suddenly sensed an extremely violent and frigid fluctuation surge up from beneath the altar, finally bursting out madly.

BOOM!

The Giant Stone Altar completely shattered at this moment. Rubble shot out violently, and a monstrous black mist billowed up from beneath the ground. Instantly, an indescribable, evil, and frigid aura permeated the heavens and earth.

The black mist churned, and an unusually piercing, evil cackle echoed out. Then, the black mist swept outwards. The beams of Red Sword Qi, condensed by the Array Formation, sizzled and dissipated instantly upon contact with the black mist, offering no resistance whatsoever.

The instant the black mist burst from the ground, it coalesced into a human-like figure. Its vague form was identical to the figure Ling Chen had previously seen trapped underground.

However, what he had seen before was a living person, whereas this dark silhouette clearly was not.

"KEKKEKE! I have been trapped here for over two hundred years! I never thought I’d have the chance to escape! The heavens truly have eyes!"

A piercing laugh emanated from within the black mist, making one’s scalp tingle.

"Over two hundred years?"

Xie Zhiqiu’s expression changed drastically. Even a Top Sky Apex Strong couldn’t live that long! Could this black silhouette before me be a legendary Saint Level Strength? This is bad. Could this Array Formation have been used to seal this Demon of the Sacred Plane?

"Who? Who pulled out the Red Sky Sword and broke the seal? This Seat must thank them properly!"

The figure within the black mist swept a glance over the crowd, then suddenly asked.

"It was me!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiqiu was suddenly overjoyed. This being before me is a Saint-level Big Devil! If things go well, he might teach me some peerless divine techniques!

"It was indeed I! To be able to serve you, Senior, is this junior’s honor!" Xie Zhiqiu said, beaming with joy.

"So it was you, lad. Your foundation is not bad; you’re quite talented," the dark silhouette sized up Xie Zhiqiu, then revealed a satisfied expression.

"In that case, lad, are you willing to do something for this Seat?"

Xie Zhiqiu’s pupils contracted slightly. Overjoyed, he immediately fell to his knees. "This junior will serve you faithfully, Senior, even if it means laying down my life!"

"Very good," Hearing this, the dark silhouette suddenly grinned, a chilling glint in its eyes. "Since you’ve said as much, then this Seat won’t be polite."

"This Seat has just broken the seal, and my original body is in ruins. For now, I shall borrow your body!"

With that, the dark silhouette let out a piercing cackle and then, enveloped in the monstrous black mist, lunged fiercely towards Xie Zhiqiu.
