Chapter 295: Hit Right on the Side
“Brothers, stop talking so much nonsense with him.”
These devils could already tell that Li Yuanqing was stalling for time. Although they felt that Li Yuanqing was not strong enough and was fundamentally insufficient, they still decided to end the battle quickly. The power in their bodies formed a thread and connected them all.
In the end, the nine of them formed the core of the array formation. Moreover, the devils that had been chased away just now had all returned under their orders and become a part of the huge array formation.
In just half an hour, the sky was covered by huge dark clouds again. The dark clouds kept circling. This time, they did not spin as fast as a tornado. Instead, they gathered into a huge array formation.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the Soul Suppression Altar below.
The golden barrier on the Soul Suppression Platform, which had been shining brightly just now, suddenly flickers after being struck by this sudden black lightning.
Li Yuanqing’s body trembled and he was almost hit. These devils actually used the human array formation to counterattack. He did not expect these burly devils to have such a move.
Little Dot sent a signal in his heart to tell Li Yuanqing that it was no longer easy for him to hold on. If he could still hold on a little just now, then now, as the power above gradually gathered and strengthened to this extent, with the little guy’s strength, he could no longer suppress them.
Moreover, the golden barrier that he had painstakingly gathered just now seemed to be about to be damaged.
“It’s too late. Hurry up and activate the Soul Suppression Altar to suppress these devils.” However, Little Dot sounded very aggrieved.
Li Yuanqing sensed the situation of the Soul Suppression Altar through Little Dot. There was a central array formation in the Soul Suppression Altar.
This central array formation was the main array formation that could be used to suppress devils. However, after the central array formation was destroyed by the powerful attack just now, it had yet to be completely repaired.
The other things at the side had almost been repaired. However, this thing was too complicated. It was impossible for him to completely repair himself for a while.
Li Yuanqing frowned as he looked at the array formation in the sky. Another black bolt of lightning shot down. He threw out a golden talisman in his hand. The golden talisman expanded in the wind and transformed into a golden shield in midair. The golden shield rushed into the sky fearlessly.
“Boom!”
A violent explosion spread out in the middle of the two sides’ collision, flattening the entire valley’s uneven soil.
Not only was the huge array disc spinning continuously, but it was also slowly pressing down. The leader of the devils sat in the center of the array disc with his eyes closed.
After the failed attack, the devil army once again brewed a huge amount of power. It kept circulating in the array disc and finally gathered at the center pillar. When it gathered at the center point, all the power had been completely purified by the entire array formation and condensed into incomparably solid power.
After Li Yuanqing threw out the shield, he tried his best to move the Soul Suppression Altar into his domain. However, he helplessly discovered that the Soul Suppression Altar was very unique. He could not control it with his divine sense.
As long as the central array could not be completely repaired, it would not be able to move on its own.
Not only could the materials used for the Soul Suppression Altar isolate spiritual energy, but it could also isolate divine sense. No wonder those devils could not move at all after being suppressed inside.
Just as the central array was about to be completely repaired, the power above his head became more and more corporeal. The all-out attack of the devils landed heavily on Li Yuanqing’s head.
“Kid, we’ve long advised you to get lost. But since you didn’t fly away, don’t blame us for being rude. We originally wanted to raise you and use you as a lackey in the future. However, if you ask me, there’s nothing useful in this human race!”
“Big Brother, don’t waste your breath on him. He’s already about to die. Let’s see how he’s going to be burned to ashes later.”
These devils appeared again. Their bodies had become slightly lighter. The few moves just now had absorbed a large amount of energy from their bodies. In addition, after being suppressed for so many years, the energy in their bodies was not enough. Their entire bodies were a little unstable.
However, it was all worth it. As long as they killed the kid blocking the way, everything would be over.
Li Yuanqing took a deep breath and a huge black sword slowly appeared above his head. The huge black sword became more and more corporeal.
This Demon Slayer Sword had followed Li Yuanqing for a long time. Its powerful strength and unique material were very lethal to devils and demons. However, in the face of this destructive strike, Li Yuanqing had no choice but to take out his n.o.ble Demon Slayer Sword again.
As Li Yuanqing poured the power in his body into the Demon Slayer Sword, it gradually became brighter. Moreover, the entire sword began to tremble slowly.
“Do you also know what you’re about to face?”
Li Yuanqing’s expression was solemn. Suddenly, he raised the Demon Slayer Sword high up in the air as if it was connected to it. He turned his head and pointed it at the sky.
At this moment, the black lightning had already arrived. Li Yuanqing was less than a hundred feet away.
“Go!”
There was a loud shout.
The Demon Slayer Sword carried an indomitable aura and a huge amount of power. Without looking back, it turned into a bolt of lightning and collided heavily with the lightning.
In an instant, a thousand-foot-long circular lightning ball erupted from the originally calm s.p.a.ce where the two sides touched.
The circular lightning ball carried black and white power that kept intertwining. They were constantly consuming and colliding inside. The power seemed to want to expand rapidly outside, but it was suppressed by a force in the middle of the energy ball.
Li Yuanqing raised his head with a heavy expression. He suddenly raised his hand and released the power in his body continuously. In an instant, it formed a semicircular shield above his head and enveloped him.
From the outside, one could see Li Yuanqing using a large golden bowl to lock himself and the Soul Suppression Altar inside.
Those devils were originally smug and thought that they had already succeeded. However, they did not expect Li Yuanqing to be able to erupt with such power in his desperate resistance. They looked at their feet in horror at the huge lightning ball that had erupted under their feet and landed in panic. However, they did not know what to do at this moment.
“What should we do, General? What is he doing?”
The leader of the devils’ face was ashen. Even with his experience, he had never seen such a thing before. However, he could clearly feel from the fragments that there seemed to be some kind of material that could strongly suppress their devilish aura.
It was because of this strange material and the strange operation of that kid that he could block such a destructive attack with such weak strength.
“Again! I don’t believe he can take out anything else!”
The leader of the demons knew that they had no way out now. If they could not kill Li Yuanqing, not to mention occupying this world, they might not even be able to walk out of this valley today.
It suddenly stretched out its hands, and its entire human body instantly dissipated, revealing a round inner core. It had already completely given up on its form and released its purest power. The small ball of devil crystal directly slammed onto the central array.
When the others saw him, they followed suit and instantly dispersed their bodies. Devil crystals were placed on the array formation one by one, and the huge array formation plate gradually activated.
Just as they finished circulating, the huge lightning ball in the air finally could not control the power inside and exploded at a certain critical point.
There were countless sword fragments mixed in. Those fragments shot in all directions with very irritable energy, cutting through everything they pa.s.sed.
The sword fragments that were like rain pierced through the golden shield set up by Li Yuanqing and hit the surface of the Soul Suppression Altar one by one.
A soft sword had appeared in Li Yuanqing’s hand at some point in time. He kept brandishing it, but even the power carried by a fragment made it very difficult for him to deal with it. He was helpless. In the end, he could only twist and turn and rely on his agile movement technique to hide.
However, the Soul Suppression Altar was riddled with holes and filled with fragments of swords.
On the other side, the huge array disc that had already been condensed was actually pierced through by these common fragments under the impact of such power. The links among them were even cut open, and many devil crystals were even shattered.
The general panicked. The moment the array disc was about to collapse, he left his devil crystal.
Just now, a sword fragment had flown past his devil crystal and almost killed him on the spot. He looked at Li Yuanqing below with lingering fear. He never expected such a human kid to have such a weapon that could restrain them. He escaped quickly, but the other brothers were not so lucky.
They gathered together and attacked with all their might. Instead, they were hit by a backhand attack. In addition, the damage of the sword fragments shattered four powerful devil crystals.
In just a short while, four of the nine generals had died, leaving only five panicked devil generals.
The little devils retreated wailing and floated in the sky, surrounding their general in panic.
“General, what happened? What exactly was that?”
“There’s actually such pure holy energy in this Demon Sword!” One of the generals said hoa.r.s.ely.
“Holy energy!”
Many devils revealed shocked expressions when they heard this name. They all shrank together in fear, as if they had completely lost all ability to resist after hearing the name of this thing.
The general said coldly, “Don’t be afraid. He just happened to obtain some holy energy. This kid doesn’t know how to use it at all and destroyed this holy energy weapon. This way, we will be even more fearless. If we kill him now, this world is ours!”
“But General, that’s a holy weapon after all. If…”
Smack.
With a crisp explosion, the kid who was about to speak suddenly turned into smoke that filled the sky and his soul dissipated.
The general looked around calmly. No one dared to speak again.
Li Yuanqing, who was below, was originally worried that the recovery speed of the Soul Suppression Altar would be much slower after being destroyed like this. It was probably unable to recover for the rest of its life. He was thinking about how to escape with Little Dot.
However, a scene that shocked him appeared. The sword fragments that had landed on the Soul Suppression Altar actually emitted some light spots one by one.
The specks of light kept emerging from the fragments of the sword. They were squeezed out like liquid and gathered in the Soul Suppression Altar below.
Li Yuanqing sensed the very enthusiastic cheers in Little Dot’s heart. It was like a child drinking the most beautiful spring water in the world. He felt the joy in his heart.
Just as Li Yuanqing was feeling puzzled, he saw a golden holy light suddenly light up on the surface of the Soul Suppression Altar. When the light landed, the Soul Suppression Altar actually absorbed all the fragments on the surface as if nothing had happened. The surface returned to a completely flat scene.
“This is?”
Just as Li Yuanqing was conflicted, Little Dot suddenly jumped out of the Soul Suppression Altar. He had already turned into a child. He was round and wore a dudou. His head was raised and he looked at Li Yuanqing with his big blinking eyes.
“Master, the Soul Suppression Altar has been repaired!”
Li Yuanqing smiled at Little Dot and carefully sensed the array formation patterns on the Soul Suppression Altar.
This place had clearly recovered completely. His operation just now had actually awakened the Soul Suppression Altar.
This was the right time. If they were any later, those devils would have organized again.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in front of Li Yuanqing. The person in the lead was the devil general.
“Human kid, although I don’t know how you did it, everything is over. Since you insist on blocking the way, I think we should give you enough respect.”
