Chapter 305: Chapter 295: 4th-Tier Spirit Vein, 3 True Masters (2-in-1)
“Taiyi Cultivators, heed the orders, today’s mission!”
“Guard the valley!”
“Slay the demons!”
“Seize the treasure!”
With four consecutive calls, the sound of war drums echoed from the Tier Four Treasure Ship, and instantly all Taiyi Sect cultivators felt a surge of valor. This Spirit Drum was evidently extraordinary.
Those simple words further excited the cultivators.
“This is the Sect’s Yinglong Drum, rumored to be made from the skin of a Tier Four Flood Dragon!” Ye Jingcheng heard a voice from Ye Xingliu reminding him.
For the Ye Family, it was unexpected that the Taiyi Sect had immediately set up a defensive offensive.
But this was indeed good news for all clans.
At least the Sect wasn’t mindlessly sending them to clear the mountains but was instead probing with a defensive stance first.
Offense is always the best defense, but if the offense fails, it will expose weaknesses greatly.
As the Array activated, the cultivators noticed a beast tide emerging once again from the far horizon.
One demon beast after another was being driven by the Three-Eyed Demon Roc Race, rampaging towards them.
Clan cultivators also began to take out their respective sect’s Arrays, while the Purple Mansion Cultivators received transmissions and flew towards the sky.
“How about forming an alliance among our three families during this time?” At this moment, Wan Hongchang spoke.
The Wan Family didn’t bring many Foundation Establishment cultivators this time, only four, which was not much different from the Ye Family’s three Foundation Establishments. The Chu Family brought the most, six in total, so his inquiry was mainly directed at the Chu Family.
At this juncture, virtually all major clans had formed alliances. Except for the Golden Core Clans with a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, no other family could guarantee remaining unscathed under the beast tide.
After all, the Array in the sky was clearly targeting the Three-Eyed Demon Roc. For these Foundation Establishment cultivators, if the Array was breached, it could result in a tragic outcome with most of the clan’s elite dead.
The Sect cultivators would never use the Array to protect them.
So Ye Xingliu also began to arrange the Array, while Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng each took out an Array Disc, but with more discerning placement.
How not to let an Array overlap another Array is most crucial.
At this moment, not only the Ye Family but other clans were also deploying Arrays. Those without Arrays started forming a Battle Array.
By then, the Three-Eyed Demon Roc Race would be the main attackers from the sky, and other demon beasts would likely swarm up from the mountain below.
Thus, having Arrays for both aerial and ground defense was immensely important.
The Ye Family also brought out their Spirit Beasts, readying for battle. Ye Jingli took out a Flame Lion and a Cyan-Scaled Python, Ye Jingyong took out a Cloud Shadow Leopard and a Single-horned Iron Ox.
Of course, what was most striking was the Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts deployed by the Ye Family members.
Behind Ye Xingliu appeared a Jade-eyed Golden-eyed Tiger and a Lizard Lord, behind Ye Jingyu appeared a Tier Two Spotted Cloud Tiger, and behind Ye Jingcheng appeared a Golden Scale Beast and a swarm of Five Poison Bees, including a Tier Two Six-colored Bee Queen.
With these Spirit Beasts out, the Ye Family instantly surpassed the Chu Family, becoming the clan with the most Foundation Establishment combat power.
Even the Wan Family only brought out three Tier Two Spirit Insects.
Of course, Ye Jingcheng estimated that the Wan Family had a fair amount of Spirit Beasts, but just as the Ye Family had the strength to conceal theirs, so did the Wan Family.
After all, human cultivators are extremely covetous of demon beast materials, and those demon beasts equally coveted the flesh and blood of cultivators.
Thus, the more cultivators there are, the more likely they are to be targeted.
The beast tide was not approaching quickly, perhaps stockpiling strength intentionally, or due to the considerable distance between Chixia Ridge and Jade Dragon Valley.
In the sky, soon enough, appeared the massive silhouettes of Three-Eyed Demon Rocs.
These demon rocs, flapping their Cloud-Supporting Wings, did not approach immediately, but opened their golden demon eyes to gaze at the cultivators.
The Three-eyed Demon King received the most attention.
Its gaze was extraordinarily penetrating, making an ordinary cultivator feel as if they were about to be engulfed.
“Humans, have you forgotten that Golden Cores aren’t allowed through the pass?” The Three-eyed Demon King’s voice was not standard and sounded exceptionally hoarse and grating.
In its words, there was also a trace of anger.
“Indeed, Golden Cores aren’t supposed to cross the pass, but the last time Three-eyed Daoist acted on your own, you broke the rules. This time, we have the same concerns,” said Master Miaofa with evident distrust in his eyes.
Then he spoke again:
“Last time, without reason, Three-eyed Daoist appeared within the Human Race’s territory. Isn’t an explanation warranted?”
“He stole my child; he must be punished!” roared the Three-eyed Demon King, and instantly, the myriad beasts responded.
Its eyes were filled with ferocity.
“Why could a Qi Cultivation Cultivator steal your child?” Master Miaofa asked again!
Upon hearing this, the Three-eyed Demon King seemed unable to bear the humiliation.
In an instant, it flapped the Cloud Wings fiercely and let out an enraged roar.
The Great Roc’s form seemed imbued with the essence of a Dragon Roc, unleashing a sharp, screeching cry!
Immediately, the beast tide boiled over, with countless avian demon beasts and Great Demons flying towards Jade Dragon Valley, aiming to annihilate the entire valley.
Master Miaofa furrowed his brows and sighed involuntarily.
He felt he was about to get an answer, yet the Three-eyed Demon King halted at the last moment. Whether it was genuine humiliation or there was another hidden story, he didn’t know.
That was what he was focused on.
As the beast tide surged forth, the first to emerge were some Red Rocs and Chixia Birds.
Though bearing some bloodline of the Three-Eyed Demon Roc, they were not pure-bloods.
Yet even with their mixed blood, each was formidable.
They charged into the high skies above Jade Dragon Valley, confronting the Array.
And at the top of the sky, the Three-eyed Demon King indeed did not hold back; from its perspective, humans had breached the rules first, entering the pass, thus it had ample reason.
The might of a Tier Four Late-stage Golden Core Demon King was on full display.
Master Miaofa also shouted loudly:
“Foul beast, last time you relied on speed. Today, even though you are a Late-stage Demon King, you will fall here!”
Leaning on the Array, Master Miaofa flung the Duster, conjuring several Water Dragons instantly.
These Water Dragons roared, attacking the Three-eyed Demon King.
However, the latter flapped its wings, shedding Fire Feathers that launched at the Water Dragons, riddling them with holes.
But those Water Dragons quickly reformed.
Only, the speed of reformation was far from matching the Three-eyed Demon King’s speed in shattering them.
Moreover, the latter’s third eye, with black Spirit Flames swirling inside, was about to shoot towards Master Miaofa!
“Xuan Dao, San Yuan, aren’t you going to act quickly?” At this moment, seeing the black flame, Master Miaofa felt extraordinarily uneasy.
Yet he still shouted.
As Master Miaofa shouted, from within Jade Dragon Valley, a Cyan Jade Flying Sword slashed out across the air.
The speed of this slash was so frightening that ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators could barely track its trajectory.
Even the Three-eyed Demon King at that moment had its pupils reverse, seeming somewhat frowning.
“San Yuan the Daoist?” Evidently, the Three-eyed Demon King recognized the latter.
Its claw seized some Crimson Flame, knocking the Flying Sword back, but the Sword Aura was exceedingly substantial.
Even the Three-eyed Demon King, under this strike, lost quite a few Red Feathers.
Beside it, yet another attack was not over; True Master Xuan Dao launched an incantation book towards the Three-eyed Demon King.
But it was enveloped by the black flame, with the light images of the book being incinerated into oblivion, appearing elsewhere.
Rapidly, it turned into three Golden Core True Masters confronting one Golden Core Demon King.
What compelled everyone to admire was the terrifying combat strength of the Three-eyed Demon King, even against a Middle Stage Golden Core Sword Cultivator and two Early Stage Golden Cores, along with a Tier Four Array, holding them off was challenging.
However, everyone noticed the extensive injuries on the Three-eyed Demon King.
“You did forcefully break through to the Late Stage of Golden Core, but your injuries haven’t healed well!” At this moment, Master Xuan Dao also spoke.
Previously, they had faced the Three-eyed Demon King, only to be defeated rapidly with two attacks.
However, at that time, they had noticed that the Three-eyed Demon King had not killed them.
After all, the latter had broken through to the Late Stage of Golden Core, while they were at the Early Stage.
It now appeared it wasn’t unwillingness, but that the Three-eyed Demon King’s breakthrough wasn’t normal.
“Could it be the fortuitous encounter given to you by the Beast Desolate Wasteland?” Master Xuan Dao probed again!
Yet, disdain filled the eyes of the Three-eyed Demon King, showing an extraordinary scorn for the questions from the three true masters.
