Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 387: Chapter 217: Demon Suppression Golden Scroll_2

As far as Gu Sheng’s personal experience was concerned, he felt that even someone as powerful as Wen Mingyan could not handle this Fire Giant and the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array!

Gu Sheng sensed that the power displayed by the two had already surpassed the Marrow Refining Realm!

After the Fire Giant emerged, all the disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect immediately saw their auras drop significantly. Many of them even looked utterly exhausted, hurriedly taking out recovery pills and consuming them in handfuls.

As the Fire Giant took its full form, only then did Kang Tai step fully into the Four Symbols Demon Suppression Array.

”Roar!”

A series of beast roars echoed across the heavens. The moment Kang Tai fully entered the boundaries of the array, the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts began to move.

The Azure Dragon whipped its long tail, turning into an azure streak that charged forward; the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, instantly forming two thick chains of flame that shot toward Kang Tai; the White Tiger and Black Tortoise strode forward with massive bodies, charging with an earth-shaking momentum as if to crush everything in their path.

As the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts moved, chaotic energies intertwined in the air, creating wave after wave of shockwaves that swept up sand and stones, turning the sky and earth colorless.

Kang Tai couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva; his heart trembled violently several times. He touched the crown atop his head to steady himself before exhaling sharply: ”Phew! I really can’t fathom how the Demon Suppression Sect, so overwhelmingly powerful, met its demise. Such power is terrifying! Luckily, Lord Zhao promised me that as long as I help him retrieve the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll this time, he would fully activate the Demon Seed for me. Heh, the power granted by the Demon Seed is truly intoxicating!”

Though fear gripped Kang Tai’s heart, he didn’t retreat a single step; instead, he continued advancing steadily. It wasn’t that he was unafraid of death, but the Fire Giant was already standing in his way!

The Fire Giant swung the giant sword in its hand, and instantly a curtain of flame blocked the Azure Dragon’s path.

The fire curtain, though appearing thin and fragile, was in fact as sturdy as a mountain. When the Azure Dragon crashed into it, a deafening sound erupted, and the massive dragon was forced to recoil. The Vermilion Bird’s flaming chains struck the fire curtain, producing a series of crackling sounds, causing the curtain to swell dramatically before exploding with a thunderous ”boom.”

Both the Fire Giant and the Azure Dragon were pushed back a meter or two. A flicker of anger gleamed in the Azure Dragon’s eyes as bright azure light burst from its massive form, making it grow even larger. The scales on its head stood upright like sharp blades as its claws stretched forward, striking again.

Meanwhile, the White Tiger and Black Tortoise had also reached the Fire Giant.

The White Tiger glowed with pale golden light, its massive claws descending like a small mountain. The Black Tortoise’s heavy feet pounded the earth, instantly manifesting a peculiar domain field that even forced the Fire Giant from the air to the ground.

Facing the combined assault of the White Tiger and Black Tortoise, the Fire Giant twirled its massive sword, lifting it to meet the White Tiger’s claws.

When the two collided, sparks of flame erupted everywhere. The Fire Giant’s sword radiated a blinding red light as a terrifying flame clung to the White Tiger’s claws, quickly igniting them.

The White Tiger hastily pulled back, the golden ”king” emblem on its forehead shining brilliantly. A divine power emanated from it, extinguishing the flames on its claws as it shifted to clear the way for the Azure Dragon.

By now, the Azure Dragon had grown even larger than the Fire Giant itself. The Fire Giant could only cross its fiery wings defensively in front of itself while slashing its giant flame sword toward the Azure Dragon’s body.

”Boom!”

The Fire Giant and the Azure Dragon were like two mountains colliding. Both were pushed backward by the immense recoil. The Fire Giant’s wings were directly broken under the impact, and the strike of its flame sword cracked the Azure Dragon’s scales, dimming the azure radiance on its body significantly.

”Pff!”

As the Fire Giant’s wings broke, its flames remained unaffected. Instead, the core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect displayed visible pain, coughing up mouthfuls of fresh blood. Their faces visibly aged by several years in an instant.

The Fire Giant ran its enormous hand over its broken wings, and a new pair of wings sprouted immediately afterward. Yet, those chanting spells among the Thousand Poison Sect disciples appeared even more tormented.

The Fire Giant’s gaze landed on the Black Tortoise. Clasping its giant flame sword with both hands, it lifted the weapon before violently plunging it into the ground. A crimson wave of energy instantly swept out, and the Yellow Light surrounding the Black Tortoise intensified before its domain field shattered.

The Fire Giant’s wings lightly flapped, allowing it to ascend once again.

This time, it hurled its flame sword into the sky with all its strength. Raising both hands, the Fire Giant channeled its power into the sword, transforming it into a colossal flame serpent.

With the massive influx of energy, the flaming sword expanded several times its original size.

Now spanning over ten meters, the flame sword was even larger than the Fire Giant itself.

The Vermilion Bird let out an enraged screech, folding its wings and spinning at high speed with a blazing tail of flame as it charged toward the Fire Giant.

The Fire Giant pressed its hands downward, bringing the giant sword slashing down at the same time.

In an instant, an overwhelming pressure swept across the battlefield. The chaotic shockwaves that filled the air moments ago abruptly quieted as if time itself had paused.

Suddenly, the great hall where the Four Symbols Divine Beasts resided shone brightly as a golden light shot into the sky.

Bathed in the cascading golden radiance, the auras of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts surged dramatically.

Kang Tai gazed at the golden scroll scattering light from above, his face lighting up with joy: ”The Demon Suppression Golden Scroll!”

Enhanced by the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll, the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts returned to their peak condition. This time, the White Tiger and Black Tortoise also leaped into the sky. The golden ”king” character on the White Tiger’s forehead radiated a blinding brilliance, forming a chain of gold that bound the Fire Giant. At the same time, the Black Tortoise exhaled a yellow aura that materialized into a muddy mire.

The mire rapidly dried under the Fire Giant’s heat and solidified, turning it into an earthen figurine. In that instant, the aura of the Fire Giant was severed!

The Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird struck simultaneously, slamming into the Fire Giant and sending it flying dozens of meters away. The next second, an intense crimson light shot from the cracks in the earthen casing. Flames rose once more, causing the surrounding temperature to soar. The Fire Giant broke free of the mire, and at the same time, its flame sword descended, striking all four Sacred Beasts and sending them crashing to the ground.

”Brother Kang, if you don’t break the array now, we can’t hold on much longer!”

Summoning the powerful Fire Giant not only required the talismans and spirit stones provided by the Skyfire War General but also relied on the Qi Blood Power of those maintaining the array as a foundation.

Each attack of the Fire Giant consumed their Qi Blood, and with such intense combat, they had long since overexerted themselves. At this point, the Fire Giant was even beginning to drain their life force. Over the course of just two attacks, the nineteen core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect had aged at least a decade. If this continued, they would soon perish from the depletion of their lifespan.

Without the Fire Giant as a distraction, Kang Tai knew he wouldn’t stand a chance against the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts. The reason for his inaction earlier had solely been to await the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll.

”Hold on for a few more breaths! I’ll break the array right away!”

After speaking, Kang Tai reached into his Qiankun Bag and retrieved four flaming red tiles, quickly placing them within the four halls.

Upon noticing Kang Tai, the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts immediately shifted their focus toward him.

Kang Tai was terrified, feeling as though his soul had left his body. The immense power of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, which even the Fire Giant couldn’t completely withstand, was far beyond what he could oppose. Hurriedly, he removed the crown atop his head and hurled it toward the Four Sacred Beasts.

The crown collided with the charging Azure Dragon, morphing into a dense black mist.

The black mist spread, forming a barrier that temporarily held back the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.

The origin of the black mist was unclear, but its corrosive power was extraordinary. As it entwined with the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, their glowing forms emitted a sizzling sound of corrosion, growing visibly dimmer.

Luckily, the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll flew near the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, dispersing brilliant golden light.

When the golden light clashed with the black mist, the mist vanished rapidly, dissolving like snow under a blazing sun.

Kang Tai appeared indifferent to this outcome. After all, his goal was merely to buy himself enough time to retreat from the battlefield.

”Everyone, retreat immediately!”

The other core disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect had long reached their limit. Upon hearing Kang Tai’s order, they stopped chanting, turned, and fled.

Although Gu Sheng didn’t understand the reason, he didn’t hesitate and promptly retreated as well.
