Chapter 5869
Upon hearing the order, the remaining dozen or so cultivators from the Evil Path Hall immediately abandoned their opponents and swiftly gathered around the third man in black, taking their positions according to some mysterious orientation.
Simultaneously, they all bit their tongues, spitting out their essence blood, forming hand seals, and chanting incantations.
“Buzz—!”
A sinister, evil, and terrifying wave of killing intent erupted from them!
The essence blood and immortal power of the thirteen men intertwined in the air, rapidly condensing into a black magic array with a diameter exceeding thirty feet!
In the center of the array, a blurry, three-headed, six-armed demonic phantom slowly emerged, its six eyes opening simultaneously, shooting out six scarlet beams of blood-red light, locking onto Kai!
“With my essence blood, I sacrifice my divine soul, summoning the evil spirits of the netherworld to slay this scoundrel!”
the third man in black roared hoarsely, his face ashen white from the loss of his essence blood, but the killing intent and madness in his eyes reached their peak.
The Netherworld Three Killing Formation—one of the forbidden killing formations of the Evil Path Palace—requires at least three seventh-grade Heavenly Immortal cultivators as the main force, assisted by more than ten fifth-grade Heavenly Immortal cultivators, and requires the burning of their essence blood to activate.
Once activated, this formation’s power is enough to threaten first and second-grade True Immortal cultivators!
The Evil Path Palace has spared no expense this time to kill Kai!
“Kai, be careful!”
Crimson Cloud Demon Lord shouted anxiously, trying to rush over, but was forced back by the terrifying pressure emanating from the black formation.
Mad Blade and the others were pressed to the ground, unable to move, their eyes filled with despair.
Liu Wenyuan lay limp on the ground, his crotch soaked, muttering, “It’s over…it’s over…the Netherworld Three Killing Formation has been activated…”
Kai felt the overwhelming killing intent and pressure emanating from the black formation, his pupils slightly contracting.
This power had indeed surpassed the realm of Heavenly Immortals, touching the threshold of True Immortals.
To withstand it head-on would likely result in serious injury.
But he had no way out, for the three-headed, six-armed demonic phantom was already upon him, its six arms lashing out simultaneously, six crimson beams of light, as thick as arms, like six venomous dragons, tearing through space and hurtling towards him!
Wherever the crimson beams passed, even the scorching heat of the cave was frozen and corroded, the ground and rock walls silently melting into deep ravines!
This attack was unavoidable!
Kai took a deep breath, a golden light flashing in his eyes.
Since he couldn’t dodge it, he would shatter it head-on!
He gripped the Dragon-Slaying Sword tightly with both hands, the remaining chaotic immortal power within his body burning wildly, the chaotic fire lotus spinning violently in his dantian, and that faint trace of true dragon blood was also fully activated!
“Chaos Returns to Origin—Dragon Flame Break!”
Kai roared, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword slammed into the ground!
“Boom—!”
Centered on Kai, an indescribable chaotic aura erupted!
The hazy, chaotic immortal power intertwined with the dark golden flames of the true dragon, transforming into a ferocious chaotic fire dragon, roaring to the sky, and charging headlong at the six scarlet beams of light! The fire
dragon and the blood-red light collided violently in mid-air!
“Boom—!!!”
A terrifying explosion swept through the entire cave! The blinding light temporarily blinded everyone, and the deafening roar ruptured everyone’s eardrums, causing them to bleed!
The violent energy shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, scraping off a thick layer of rock from the cave walls, and shattering the ground inch by inch!
Crimson Cloud Demon Lord, Mad Blade, and others were thrown back by the shockwave, crashing heavily against the rock walls, spitting out blood.
Liu Wenyuan was even directly knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
Of the thirteen Evil Path Hall cultivators who had set up the formation, except for the third black-clad man who barely stood up due to his seventh-grade cultivation, the rest were all blasted by the backlash, bleeding from all seven orifices, and collapsed to the ground, the formation instantly collapsing!
The dust slowly dissipated.
In the center of the cave, Kai knelt on one knee, propping himself up with his sword, panting heavily, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.
His cyan martial attire was torn in several places, revealing skin beneath that shimmered with a faint golden light—even his indestructible golden body had been ripped open in several places.
But he was still alive.
Opposite him, the third man in black stood rooted to the spot, his eyes unfocused, a gaping hole the size of a bowl in his chest, his heart and internal organs already burned away by the Chaos Dragon Flame.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he couldn’t utter a single word, collapsing straight down, lifeless.
The Netherworld Three Killing Formation, broken!
Thirteen elites of the Evil Path Hall, including three Ghost Fiend Envoys at the seventh rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, were completely wiped out!
This formation, capable of trapping even a peak ninth-rank Heavenly Immortal, failed to trap Kai!
However, Kai was also injured.
Three seventh-rank Heavenly Immortal experts from the Evil Path Hall plus ten fifth-rank Heavenly Immortal elites had managed to create such a formidable force. Chen
Ping had to take the Evil Path Hall seriously.
The surviving members of the Mad Blade and the others struggled to their feet, looking at Kai with the awe, fear, and disbelief of someone who had descended from ancient times. The
Crimson Cloud Demon Lord staggered to Kai’s side and supported him: “Kai! How are you?”
“I’m fine… just exhausted.”
Kai shook his head, took out a handful of pills and popped them into his mouth, then handed a few to the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord.
He looked at the surviving cultivators and said in a deep voice, “I don’t want this to get out. You can leave now.”
The Mad Blade and the others felt as if they had been granted a pardon, nodding repeatedly: “Fellow Daoist, rest assured! We will remember your life-saving grace today and would never dare to divulge a single word!”
With that, they helped each other and fled the cave without looking back, fearing that Kai would change his mind.
After everyone had left, Kai looked at the unconscious Liu Wenyuan.
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord understood and splashed a basin of cold water on him to wake him up.
Liu Wenyuan slowly awoke, terrified by Kai’s cold gaze and the corpses of the Evil Path Hall scattered on the ground. He kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, “Fellow Daoist Chen, spare my life! Senior Chen, spare my life! I was forced into this! The Evil Path Hall captured my family and forced me to cooperate with their scheme… I had no choice!”
Kai remained unmoved: “Is the clue about the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk real or fake?”
“Real! Real!”
Liu Wenyuan hurriedly replied, “The Lava Demon Abyss is in the southern part of the Flame Domain, and the Earth Fire Pavilion does indeed possess some clues!”
“I also know that the Earth Fire Pavilion organizes a ‘Earth Fire Trial’ every hundred years, and the top ten have the opportunity to enter the outer perimeter of the Lava Demon Abyss to seek opportunities! The next trial is in three months!”
“Earth Fire Trial…”
Kai noted this information and then asked, “How many strongholds does the Evil Path Hall have in the Eleventh Heaven? What is their strength?”
“This… I’m just a nobody, I only know the strongholds in Sand Rock City and a few nearby towns…” Liu Wenyuan tremblingly recited a few locations.
Kai then asked for more information about the Evil Path Hall and the forces of the Eleventh Heaven. Liu Wenyuan answered everything he knew, only asking to live.
Finally, Kai looked at Liu Wenyuan and said coldly, “You helped the Evil Path Hall set a trap to harm people, and you should be executed. But considering you provided information, I will spare your life.”
“Thank you, thank you…” Liu Wenyuan quickly thanked him.
“If I have someone else kill you, are you satisfied?” Kai said!
“Damn…”
Liu Wenyuan was stunned!
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord understood and struck out with a palm.
Liu Wenyuan was instantly killed.
