Chapter 346 Blood Soul-Capturing Bell
Chapter update reminder: Chapter 346 Blood Soul-Capturing Bell, reading address.
"what?"
"A human Golden Core? How is this possible?!"
The Sable Demon King froze in mid-air, his mind blank. This was far more surprising than the Golden Core cultivator who had suddenly attacked from outside.
A mere Golden Core cultivator managed to sneak into the main hall without a sound.
What's worse, he was chatting and laughing with the other person while pouring himself a drink, completely unaware of what was happening.
"What kind of transformation technique is this? It can even imitate demonic energy."
It couldn't help but glance at the other party again. Zhang Lingyu, standing at its feet, still had a smile on his face, and judging from his cultivation level, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
But it didn't believe it at all.
If someone can remain completely unaware of it, it can't be in the early stages; it must be in the middle or later stages.
However, with the battle at Thousand Blade Valley raging, how could such valuable late-stage Golden Core warriors be sent to the rear to deal with them?
It's definitely in the middle stage!
If Zhang Lingyu is indeed at the early stage, then he should be able to handle being attacked by two early-stage opponents. He could make a show of it and then run away without any problem.
But it simply didn't believe it. Facing a mid-stage and an early-stage opponent, what was the point of fighting?
"Luckily, I still have a chance!"
Despite having one inside the main hall and another outside, it was still confident of escaping from the two before they could completely surround it and before the late-stage Golden Core cultivator arrived.
As a Purple-Gold Demon Sable, its bloodline supernatural power is inherently related to escape; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to hold onto the position of Demon King!
Having said that, it gazed deeply at the other person, trying to etch their appearance into its mind. Then, with a flicker, it transformed into a whirlwind and fled!
"If a guest arrives at the door and the host tries to leave without saying a word, is that how one treats a guest?"
Watching the demon king fly out of the main hall, Zhang Lingyu sneered, and the Shadow Chasing Shuttle beneath his feet immediately appeared, following behind him.
It must be said that this demon king is indeed very fast.
That's why he didn't choose to attack from the outside with the Golden Core cultivators who stayed behind in Tianliu City. Instead, he took the initiative and used the Shapeshifting Technique to sneak into the main hall, hoping to catch them off guard.
Although the former could take Lingyue Mountain without engaging in a battle, he was not willing to accept it.
It's rare to encounter a lone demon king; if we can kill it, we can definitely eliminate a major threat.
Not to mention that precious material?
Seeing that even the Shadow Chasing Shuttle couldn't keep up with the Purple Sable Demon King's speed, Zhang Lingyu finally understood why the old master didn't think highly of this plan.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
He was unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a streak of blood-red light suddenly shot out from his sleeve.
As the light faded, a pair of dark red bells lay quietly in my palm.
With a slight flick of the wrist.
"jingle!"
The eerie sound of the bell instantly spread to every corner of the entire mountain range.
The moment the bell rang, the demonic beasts below, who were fiercely fighting the cultivators, suddenly halted their attacks.
Immediately afterwards, the fierce light in his eyes was replaced by uncontrollable pain and madness, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot, as red as blood.
The intense headaches caused them to let out low growls, their bodies contorted, and their claws uncontrollably tore at their own fur and heads.
Within just two or three breaths, blood began to gush from their mouths, noses, ears, and even eye sockets, as if they had been struck by an invisible hammer, collapsing to the ground in droves.
Before he could even utter a decent wail, he quickly lost his life, leaving behind only a pile of corpses.
Even the powerful demon generals could not escape unscathed. Although they were highly skilled and did not die instantly like the low-level demon beasts, they all suffered from splitting headaches, sluggish demonic energy circulation, and painful groans, clearly indicating that they were seriously injured.
This is merely the aftermath.
The true target of the magic weapon was the Purple Sable Demon King.
The demonic sound penetrated his brain and surged straight into his consciousness!
The sable demon king, who was gloating over his impending escape, suddenly shuddered. The clear sound of bells exploded in his ears, turning into countless shrill screams.
The scene before my eyes spun around me, and the dense forests that were so close at hand disappeared.
Instead, there was an endless mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
He was shocked to find himself bound tightly to a giant pillar by thick, cold chains, unable to move.
What shocked him even more was that the sea of blood surged, and countless mutilated figures struggled to rise from the blood waves, slowly surrounding him.
Those twisted and ferocious faces were incredibly familiar; they were the demon generals under his command who had died at his hands or been devoured by him to enhance their cultivation over the years for various reasons!
Their eyes were vacant, their hands gripping the weapons they used in life. They remained silent, their only expression a burning hatred and a vengeful thrill, as they approached step by step, pointing the blades at themselves, bound to the pillar, with no way to escape...
"This is an illusion...yes...that's right!"
As the Purple Sable Demon King ruled over a region, he had witnessed the methods of countless cultivators and had a considerable understanding of the human race's cultivation system.
Illusion, a common branch of cultivation, involves the interplay of reality and illusion to bewitch the mind; this is not the first time I've encountered it.
Despite the uncanny realism of everything before him, he managed to maintain a degree of clarity and realized that Zhang Lingyu behind him was no one skilled in illusion magic.
The root cause of what's trapping me right now must be those bells!
Since it relies on external aids rather than directly crushing through cultivation, it will surely be able to break through quickly.
This would take time, and while he struggled, many demon generals' blades fell on him, each strike accompanied by excruciating pain.
It was as if everything in the illusion had manifested in reality.
After an unknown amount of time, it slowly awoke and found itself in a sea of crimson fire, its robes already burned full of holes.
Even worse, he had many sword wounds all over his body.
"It hurts so much!"
The Sable Demon King looked pained and roared to the sky. Then he calculated with his fingers and realized that he had only been trapped in the illusion for ten breaths.
In this short period of time, it has already suffered quite a few injuries.
Fortunately, my demon race has a strong physical body!
A cold sweat broke out on his back. The sea of fire around him continued to scorch his body, and the stinging pain pulled him back to reality.
"How is it, sir?"
A mocking laugh reached his ears. Standing not far away, Zhang Lingyu held a sword in his right hand and tossed the pair of bells in his left.
Blood Soul-Capturing Bell!
This treasure was obtained from Xue Yang of the Blood Flame Sect. Although it is only a low-grade Golden Core, its effects are extremely good.
The demon race has a powerful physical body, but an extremely fragile soul.
It was precisely by using this magical artifact that Zhang Lingyu was able to unexpectedly subdue the demon and trap it in the sea of fire.
"The Blood-Soul-Capturing Bell... the Huang family's method is most likely a copy of this item."
His gaze was deep, but his offensive did not stop. He swung his longsword while activating the Blood Soul-Seizing Bell again, trying to trap him here and kill him.
"Do you really think that if I fall once, I'll fall a second time?"
The Sable Demon King let out a low roar, its belly suddenly bulging out as it spat out a dark pearl that instantly radiated light, firmly blocking the sword energy and sea of fire in front of it.
As for the demonic sound, it was no longer enough to trap it in the illusion.
Seeing that Zhang Lingyu's various methods were being neutralized one by one, the demon king did not think of attacking, but instead used the power of the pearl to escape again.
There was no other reason than that the Golden Core cultivator outside had arrived within ten breaths.
We're now engulfed in flames!
If we don't leave now, it will really be too late.
However, instead of fleeing on the wind, it revealed its true form.
This demon king's true form is not as tall and mighty as other demon kings; it is only about three zhang long. Its entire body is covered in purple fur, with bright golden patterns running from its back to its long tail. Its golden vertical pupils reveal its ferocity.
The next moment, the demon transformed into a stream of light and disappeared underground at an extremely fast speed!
