Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Illusion Array Body Movement Technique_1

On the other side, Shangguan Lei and Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Avatar were fighting against the Demon General.

Even though the Martial Soul Avatar was not as strong as Shangguan Lei, its moves were unpredictable, causing the Demon General to be constantly on the defensive.

Shangguan Lei coordinated with it effectively, and they gradually started to suppress the Demon General.

Victory seemed within reach, and Shangguan Lei’s face lit up with excitement.

His only concern now was Ling Xiao’s side.

And that was the key.

Even if he killed the Demon General, as long as the Plague Demon King was not dead, they would still have lost.

If they lost this battle, their lives would be in grave danger.

In contrast, the Demon General was acutely aware of this.

Although he was being suppressed right now, he was not in immediate danger of being killed.

He knew how terrifying the Plague Demon King was, and he believed that as long as he could hold out, the Plague Demon King could kill that kid named Ling Xiao, and then it would be their victory.

With this in mind, the Demon General no longer sought to engage in battle; he began to use the terrain of the underground palace to escape.

As he fought and retreated, all he needed was to survive until the Plague Demon King killed Ling Xiao, which would be enough.

”Gaga... Your death is imminent!”

The Plague Demon King stood there, watching Ling Xiao with cold eyes, his pupils emanating a dense intent to kill.

Although other martial artists had ventured into this place before, he had never personally taken action. Usually, the mere release of his dreadful aura was enough to subdue them.

However, today, he was surprised that a Half-step Grandmaster had pushed him to the point where he had to act.

He felt humiliated, so he wanted Ling Xiao to taste the most painful death in this world, to die amidst agonizing howls.

”Hmph, you dream of transforming Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui’s True Essence and Soul Power, do you really think I am a fool?”

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, having noticed the intention behind the enemy’s lack of urgency to attack, which he definitely planned to stop.

”Aspect of Wind! Rain Heaven Phenomenon! Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon! Heavenly Gang Sword Formation!”

The wind howled!

The rain poured down!

Thunder roared!

Suddenly, the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, infused with the powers of the three celestial phenomena, appeared above the Plague Demon King’s head. Thirty-six Sky Gang Flying Swords, carrying the forces of wind, rain, and lightning, shot towards the Plague Demon King.

Pu chi!

The first beam of sword light pierced through the thick green liquid defense, but the sword light weakened and couldn’t advance further.

However, a closer inspection revealed that the beam of sword light, despite not penetrating the thick green liquid defense, had caused a sizable rupture.

Meanwhile, the rainwater began to seep into the thick green liquid.

Pu chi!

The second beam of sword light continued!

The third, fourth, fifth!

The Plague Demon King’s face finally changed drastically.

As the sword lights that followed struck, the thick green liquid defense completely collapsed; rainwater mixed within, causing it to fully dissolve and disappear, stripping it of its defensive capabilities.

The sword lights were all aimed at the Plague Demon King himself.

Pu chi! Pu chi!

Boom! Boom!

The sword lights turned Wan Yan Jun’s body into a porcupine, and the booming sounds shattered the corpse completely.

”Curse you, human brat!”

In mid-air, the thick green liquid emerged again; that was the true form of the Plague Demon King.

At the critical moment, he had to abandon the body he had just possessed and escape; otherwise, he felt even his true form would suffer heavy damage.

The thick green liquid condensed once more. This time, it transformed into Chen Zui’s likeness.

Yet anger seethed across his face.

For his plans had been completely disrupted by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao never expected the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation to kill the Plague Demon King.

His only aim was to interrupt the Plague Demon King’s absorption and transformation of Wan Yan Jun and Chen Zui’s True Essence as well as their soul power.

If he had let the fiend succeed, he believed the Plague Demon King would certainly have enhanced his strength once more, and by then, Ling Xiao might well have been powerless to stop him.

”The ’Twelve Golden Lotus Art’ combined with martial skills really does increase its might exponentially. Most crucially, it can produce various effects, leaving enemies unable to defend against them effectively.”

Ling Xiao was now more satisfied with the ’Twelve Golden Lotus Art’ than ever.

Despite everyone in the sect, enemies and friends alike, advising him against cultivating the ’Twelve Golden Lotus Art,’ deeming it an extremely dangerous martial arts technique that could backlash against its master,

he persisted in his cultivation.

Now, having only cultivated it to the third layer, he was already so powerful. If he actually managed to cultivate to the twelfth layer, just how formidable would he become?

”Ah~~ Foolish human child, you have enraged me, and I, the king, shall tear your body into ten thousand pieces!”

The Plague Demon King was thoroughly inflamed and, upon coalescing Chen Zui’s body, he suddenly launched an attack, hurling a punch at Ling Xiao through the air.

This punch might’ve seemed ordinary, but it contained the devastating power of plague and poison, far more fearsome than the Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist of Jian Renwang, one of the Moon Hua Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples.

”Cloud Dragon Divine Movement: Illusion Array!”

Ling Xiao wasn’t yet ready to clash head-on with the Plague Demon King. He planned to observe for a while and find a method to exterminate the demon before making his move.

Otherwise, even if he managed to destroy the physical vessel of the Plague Demon King, the fiend would still escape, rendering it all meaningless.

Moreover, this was a blow from a martial artist in the early phase of the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer. He did not wish to take it head-on, even though he might withstand it with the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, he would undoubtedly sustain injuries.

Avoiding the attack was the best course of action.

After all, his body movement technique had now advanced to a top-grade golden technique, mingling the effects of the illusion array, making it impossible for enemies to track his movements.

Boom-crack!

The entire underground palace trembled.

The Plague Demon King’s punch truly was ruthless, corroding a radius of more than ten meters completely.

If Ling Xiao had not dodged in time, he would truly have been injured.

The Plague Demon King, failing to hit with his attack, grew even more enraged, throwing punch after punch, each transforming into countless shadowy fists.

Each punch left behind a terrifying crater.

At this moment, Ling Xiao’s speed wasn’t particularly fast, but his body movement technique had reached an unfathomable level of mystery.

No matter how many shadowy fists the Plague Demon King launched, Ling Xiao could avoid them as easily as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard.

If there were bystanders, they might mistakenly think that the Plague Demon King was deliberately not hitting Ling Xiao.

Because Ling Xiao’s timing for dodging was always perfect.

Not too early, and not too late.

This not only conserved his True Essence but also his energy.

Employing the ’Cloud Dragon Divine Movement: Illusion Array’ enhanced by dozens of beginner-stage golden grade martial skills proved far more formidable than before.

Facing the early phase Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Plague Demon King, he completely denied his opponent any opportunity.

The Plague Demon King suddenly ceased his attack.

The more he fought, the more shocked he became.

How could this mere Half-step Grandmaster possess such an unfathomably deceptive body movement technique?

His frenzied attacks—not even a Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer martial artist could avoid all of them, and yet, not a speck of dust settled on the young man’s clothing.

Is this possible?

Could a Half-step Grandmaster have such miraculous body movement? This young man must have hidden his true capabilities, right?

How cunning!

The Plague Demon King struggled to believe what he was seeing, yet the evidence before his eyes left him with no choice but to accept it.
