Chapter 236: Chapter 166: Pulling Chestnuts Out of the Fire

This Tier Three Middle-Grade Array set up by Master Nanyue.

Apart from the Demon Transformation, the greatest deterrent is connecting the array with the entire Spirit Vein of White Cloud Mountain for a simultaneous explosion.

And this was precisely Master White Cloud’s final plan.

Using White Cloud Immortal City and himself as lures to attract all the beast hordes, then seizing the Spirit Vein, destroying all the beast hordes here completely.

However, for the future rebuilding of White Cloud Immortal City, he ultimately only detonated a part of it.

In just a century, the Spirit Vein could recover. By then, Xing Huai’an would certainly have advanced to the True Pill, naturally allowing White Cloud Immortal City to be rebuilt.

...

Feeling this world-destroying power, the five Demon Kings were greatly alarmed.

They immediately turned and fled without hesitation.

Not caring whether it would damage their foundation, they only wished to move even faster.

Huang Yuan Demon King stood at the forefront, the immense power engulfing him first. He only felt a world-ending force pouring into his body,

then crashing into his meridians, losing consciousness almost instantly.

The Tier Three Low-Grade Demon Beast, Huang Yuan Demon King, was killed instantly.

Next was the Hu Yu Demon King; being of the Snow Fox Race, his physical body was not outstanding, thus quickly caught by the erupting power, perishing in less than a breath.

Feng Yong Demon King was the third.

He is a Tier Three Middle-Grade Demon Beast, his body exceptionally strong.

Seeing no escape, he immediately stopped, desperately circulating his inner demonic power, causing a black fog to emanate from within.

Condensing into a shield behind him.

Just as the shield formed, the power descended upon him,

the Black Fog Shield shattered in less than a breath, but it managed to block some of the power.

When infiltrating Feng Yong Demon King’s body, the power had already weakened significantly.

Yet it was still in vain; Feng Yong Demon King endured several breaths before finally closing his eyes.

Leaving behind only a giant Tier Three Middle-Grade demon corpse.

Fourth and fifth were Xuan Lang Demon King and Qing Yu Demon King.

Seeing three great demons instantly annihilated, Qing Yu Demon King was terrified, fear showing unmistakably on his face.

As the explosive power neared, he swung back without hesitation, knocking Xuan Lang Demon King to a halt, then coiled into a ball,

hiding beneath Xuan Lang Demon King.

Using Xuan Lang Demon King’s body to shield himself.

This strategy was indeed effective; as Xuan Lang Demon King perished, the force upon him was greatly diminished.

Meanwhile, sensing the external danger, a cyan seed within him automatically activated, forming a faint cyan light on Qing Yu Demon King’s body.

”Zizi——”

The sound arose.

The cyan light was constantly worn down by the force of the Spirit Vein’s explosion.

After a few breaths, like a candle flickering in the wind, it wavered a few times before extinguishing.

After two diminishments, Qing Yu Demon King only bore less than twenty percent of the force.

Qing Yu Demon King’s body was thrown high into the sky, then heavily crashed down.

Seriously injured, he nevertheless survived.

Without hesitation, Qing Yu Demon King, despite his injuries, forcibly circulated his demonic power, fleeing into the distance.

...

Zhou Xun, Zhou Jingsong, the couple, Wang Erniu, and others exited the Tower Ship, quickly heading toward Wangchuan Lake.

Having barely run a hundred miles, suddenly two shadows pursued them.

”Big brother, Tier Two Flying Demon Beasts!”

It was two jet-black Demon Eagles.

”I’ll take the left, you take the right, each one to himself, quick battle decisive!” Zhou Xun succinctly instructed.

”Understood!”

Wang Erniu nodded, leaping skyward, slightly parting his mouth, from which a gold light shot out, morphing into a six-foot-long Flying Sword, suspended in front of him.

”Go!”

Aimed at the slightly smaller Demon Eagle on the right with a flick of his finger.

The Flying Sword turned into a golden lightning bolt, slashing through the sky, piercing toward the Demon Eagle.

The Demon Eagle flapped its wings, narrowly dodging.

Yet a tuft of feathers was sliced off, drifting down from the sky.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun brushed his hand along his waist, then swung, hurling at the Demon Eagle on the left,

several rays dispatched from the upper, middle, and lower positions, blocking its escape routes,

then with a twirl, the Golden Wheel Spiritual Artifact buzzed at the center.

Slicing the Demon Eagle’s head from its body, instantaneously killing it.

”Big brother, what high skill!”

Wang Erniu praised.

Though a Sword Cultivator himself, with much combat experience against Demon Beasts in Red Leaf Square, he couldn’t land a lethal strike.

Unexpectedly, despite being immersed in Alchemy daily, Zhou Xun wielded such skill.

Big brother indeed lives up to his name.

Then, with a slight finger move, the Flying Sword reversed course for another deadly attack.

This time, the Demon Eagle had no such luck.

Only hearing a ”puff,”

a golden light pierced through the Demon Eagle’s chest, killing it instantly.

Two Tier Two Low-Grade Demon Beasts fell at the hands of Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu within mere moments.

With no time to gather materials, they waved to store the entire Demon Eagle corpse in their Storage Bag, ready to leave.

Glance aimed toward the direction of the White Cloud Mountain Range.

Seeing the entire White Cloud Mountain heaving like a dragon turning over, a massive Spiritual Power shock wave, with earth-shattering might, scattered outward.

Then various enormous black shadows flung up and crashed heavily down.

Wherever the shock wave reached, all was razed to the ground.

Within just a dozen or so breaths, the White Cloud Immortal City, standing for hundreds of years, was gone without a trace.

”Big brother... this...”

Beside him, Wang Erniu gaped.

”Master... might be in trouble!”

In Zhou Xun’s heart arose a premonition.

Such power, even for Master White Cloud, might be hard to survive.

Yet he could affirm, this was his master, Master White Cloud’s means.

”Those five flung black shadows are likely those five great demons; under such force, they might not have survived either!”

”In the meantime, those thousands upon thousands of Demon Beasts nearby, probably buried underground with White Cloud Immortal City forever.”

”Perhaps, the Beast Tide is thus resolved!”

Thinking so, Zhou Xun exhaled lightly.

At this moment, a black shadow darted out, fleeing afar, vanishing in a blink.

”The great demon remains!”

This woke Zhou Xun from his thoughts, a notion sparking within.

Instantly removing the Spirit Beast Bag containing the Profound Armor Armadillo, tossing it to Song Yiqing, he said:

”The Immortal City has changed, I’m going to take a look; you carry the Profound Armor Armadillo toward Wangchuan Lake!”

As he spoke, he took out the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, in a flash, sped toward White Cloud Immortal City.

Flying along, he didn’t forget to alter his appearance.

The Heaven-Escaping Talisman, tempered by Zhou Xun for over twenty years, was now at Great Success, excelling beyond ordinary Early-Stage True Core Cultivators.

In just moments, Zhou Xun arrived outside the East City Wall.

This time, the East City Wall was nowhere to be seen, inward looked only a ruin made of bricks and debris,

the entire White Cloud Immortal City reduced to flat land.

With swathes of unrecognizable Demon Beasts’ limbs and pieces.

Finding no sign of life.

Even the White Cloud Mountain, originally reaching a thousand zhang, vanished quite a section, leaving only a high platform.

Beneath the high platform lay four giant demon corpses.

They were the four of the five great demons attacking White Cloud Immortal City, only the Cyan Snake wasn’t in sight.

”It seems severely wounded, escaped!”

Recalling the flying shadow earlier, Zhou Xun figured out the truth.

But with a quick scan, Zhou Xun proceeded at the same speed, directly rushing towards those demon corpses.

At this time, from the direction of the South City Wall, several escape lights flew toward Zhou Xun, yelling:

”Thief, how dare you!”
