Chapter 419 - 389: Slaying Four in a Row

Chapter 419: Chapter 389: Slaying Four in a Row

Each collision produced a terrifying sound, like two giant wheels crashing together.

At that moment, the Water Robe Alchemist flicked his wide sleeves, and the seawater surged once more.

Simultaneously, the Poison Pill Master Xue Pingfeng took out a Black Gourd and emptied it into the water. The surface of the sea was already a mixture of blood, the Essence of Water, and countless corpses of the Sea Race, with who knew how much actual seawater left. Now, it began to glitter with innumerable specks of light.

The Demon Beasts in the water grew even more frenzied. Chen Che could tell with a single glance that it was a potent poison.

SPLASH!

The seawater rose like a giant pouch, seemingly enveloping the three men in a defensive screen, yet also lunging to devour the Little Chick. But the sky was the chick’s domain. With a single flap of its wings, it skimmed past the dark water in a flash.

Its massive talons snatched a Mudskipper Shrimp as it rode the wind and soared into the clouds.

Meanwhile, Meng Changtu and Meng Qianxun were locked in a fierce battle.

The Golden Core Puppet Master controlled a full seven Puppets. Each one was crafted from the corpse of a Golden Core Great Demon. While their individual strength was not exceptional, their power lay in their numbers. Three of them were even Hundred-Eyed Marsh Dragons, whose movements were far beyond just "swift."

The father and son were completely pinned down, only able to occasionally use their Spirit Pets to attack and relieve some of the pressure on Chen Che.

The entire island reef had already been shattered into pieces.

The buildings constructed earlier had been obliterated the moment the battle began. The Cultivators on the island scrambled to escape onto Jinyun Valley’s Spiritual Boat. The Shields on their own smaller Spiritual Boats couldn’t withstand the aftershocks of a Golden Core battle.

However, by gathering together, these Cultivators played a significant role. They managed to tie down two Dragon Turtles, and the Demon Beasts below the Golden Core Realm were almost completely wiped out under the barrage of attacks!

By now, the expressions on the faces of Fang Shuxian and his companions had turned grim.

They had assumed that once the Killing Array was complete, they could crush Chen Che with unstoppable force and that destroying the entire island would be effortless. They never imagined they would be caught in such a bitter struggle.

’Since it has come to this, you will be the first to die!’

Chen Che waved his hand. The Sword Pill that had been blasting a target in the distance rapidly changed direction and slammed directly into Xue Pingfeng’s back. A series of explosions erupted, tearing through his Spirit Armor and bursting out from his chest.

He glanced back at Dan Kongzi.

The Golden Core Cultivator was still standing in the distance with his bundle on his back. He even had his arms crossed, an expression of keen interest on his face as he surveyed the battle.

’I’ll go all out!’

Knowing Dan Kongzi would not intervene, Fang Shuxian took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen swelling dramatically.

The already piercing sound of the conch seemed to rise infinitely in that instant, so loud it broke through the clouds and tore apart the thunderheads formed from an endless convergence of Demon Qi. It turned out he wasn’t a Beast Master at all, but a Sound Law Master!

Under the sound of the conch, the newly reformed Spiritual Boat Shield immediately let out a series of CRACKLES and was covered in a web of cracks, like fractured porcelain.

"Give me back my Essence of Water!"

The Water Robe Alchemist roared as his True Essence churned and his aura surged ever higher.

His long hair whipped about wildly. As he slowly raised his hands, the seawater was drawn infinitely upward. In an instant, it shot into the sky, submerging the clouds. His god-like posture made him resemble the ancient Water God Gonggong reborn.

Xue Pingfeng’s expression was incredibly grave. He waved his hand, and several Gourds glowing with an eerie light appeared before him. POP! The stoppers flew open, and terrifying currents of black, foul wind billowed out behind him like mountains and seas.

The Golden Core Puppet Master also formed a Seal Technique, bringing his hands together.

BOOM!

At that moment, it was as if some seal on his seven Puppets had been broken. They seemed to come to life, instantly regaining the full strength they possessed before death.

In that instant, the four Golden Core Cultivators held nothing back, unleashing their full, torrential auras. Their power seemed to connect heaven and earth. It was as if they had become one with this stretch of water, turning the Black Tortoise Calm Sea into a raging ocean.

"This—"

Everyone on the Spiritual Boat was aghast.

’Are they going to fight to the death?’

The force of the four auras buffeted the Spiritual Boat, causing it to rock violently back and forth like a small leaf that could be capsized by a giant wave at any moment.

Terrified, the Cultivators on board released their True Essence to bolster the Spiritual Boat’s Shield. But their eyes were already filled with despair. The power of these four was simply too terrifying. All of them combined probably couldn’t withstand a single blow from any one of them!

"Chen Che, you should be honored that you’ve forced us to reveal our trump cards!"

The Water Robe Golden Core stood in mid-air and pressed his hand down.

Although he had been robbed of the Essence of Water, the force of the seawater he now summoned was several times greater than before.

"Enough talk! Let’s kill him first!"

Xue Pingfeng shouted coldly. As he swiped with his bare hand, his robes billowed. The foul wind spewing from the seven Gourds transformed into seven hundred-zhang-long Poison Dragons, which scrambled over each other as they lunged toward Chen Che.

Fang Shuxian blew the Sea Snail, blood even trickling from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. The music materialized into a colossal wave that rolled forward.

The Golden Core Puppet Master pointed a finger. The revived Golden Core Great Demons swarmed toward Chen Che, blotting out the sky.

In an instant, the four of them completely ignored everyone else on the battlefield, aiming all their Magic at Chen Che.

Everyone present paled.

Clearly, they were no longer holding anything back and had chosen to fight to the death.

Facing the simultaneous attacks of all four, Chen Che also pushed his Cultivation to its absolute limit—

BOOM!

In that split second, he activated his Divine Sense to its full potential.

SHRRIIIP—

His Divine Sense, sharp as a sword, tore through the massive sound wave and slammed into Fang Shuxian. Terror filled Fang Shuxian’s face as he hastily deployed one Magical Artifact after another. But before the tide of Divine Sense, they were like dead twigs under a tsunami, crushed in an instant.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Several loud bangs erupted. Chen Che grunted, staggered back a few steps, and blood flowed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

But Fang Shuxian’s body trembled, and the sound of the conch abruptly stopped. He fell from the sky like a lifeless log. Clearly, under the assault of the Divine Sense, his Divine Soul had been shattered in an instant.

Immediately after, Chen Che waved his hand, summoned the Yellow Gourd, and activated his True Essence to its peak.

In an instant, the devoured Essence of Water surged out. Combined with the "Water Ministry" aspect of the Celestial Derivation Five Elements Skill, it crashed forward with several times its previous force. The Water Robe Cultivator gave a disdainful snort. Just as he was about to command the seawater to smash Chen Che and the wave to pieces...

SPLASH!

The Essence of Water crashed through the massive wave and slammed into the Water Robe Cultivator. Before he could even react, he was struck by the seawater, and his physical body was instantly pulverized into dust.

Then, Chen Che pointed a finger. The Nine Transformations Spirit Flame Technique erupted in a rolling torrent, meeting the seven Ferocious Poison Dragons. It was like a spark landing in a pan of oil. The fire snaked upward in an instant, rapidly engulfing the Poison Dragons’ bodies.

Horrified, Xue Pingfeng tried to retreat explosively.

But before he could react, the great fire had already consumed him. With a final wail, he plunged into the sea.

Finally, Chen Che formed a hand-sword and pointed.

WHOOSH—

The Sword Group howled forth.

The Golden Core Puppet Master’s face was a mask of utter horror. He slammed his hands together, and the Puppet Great Demons rushing toward Chen Che rapidly converged, forming an indestructible wall in an attempt to block the attack.

But to his surprise, Chen Che relaxed his right hand, and the Sword Group instantly dispersed like flowing water, bypassing the Puppet Great Demons before converging again.

"Not good!"

The Golden Core Puppet Master’s expression changed drastically, but it was too late to retreat.

PFFT!

The Sword Qi entered his body, passing through in an instant.

Faced with this terrifying power, which was like a raging dragon, the Golden Core Puppet Master bore the brunt of the attack. He was directly pulverized into dust, utterly obliterated without a single trace left behind.

The Sword Momentum continued unabated, tearing open the sea and carving out a long trench that did not close for a long time.

The entire scene fell deathly silent.

In the span of seven breaths.

To slay four Golden Core Cultivators! What terrifying power was this!
