Though King Baiqiu’s strength was formidable, he was also extremely cunning. Whenever he could send his underlings to fight, he always hid behind manipulating them. His poisoning methods were also learned from humans.
After experiencing the Nine Poison Palace incident, Jun Changxiao was extremely averse to poison use. So seeing him play this way, he could only deploy the field artillery.
The field artillery’s power couldn’t compare to rocket launchers, but its killing range was extremely wide—perfect for bombarding fierce beast hordes, undoubtedly very satisfying.
Initial estimate.
Two shots fired killed at least twenty to thirty thousand fierce beasts on the spot.
Seeing his subordinates suffer heavy losses, King Baiqiu hiding in the shadows finally couldn’t sit still, so he personally attacked, intending to kill this human leader!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The withered palm grabbed over, carrying strong murderous aura.
Jun Changxiao had great general bearing. Facing a spirit beast comparable to Wusheng attacking, he wasn’t panicked at all internally—he even wanted to laugh.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, the space before him rippled open, and Five Absolutes Evil Saint’s supple palm emerged from within.
“BOOM—”
Spiritual energy and beast force collided, rolling up surging air waves.
“Swoosh!”
King Baiqiu was blasted back, landing in his original position. Looking at that old man who walked out from the space, he said in a deep voice: “So you’re Wusheng!”
“No.”
Ding Xingwang shook his finger, correcting: “Evil Saint.”
Evil Saint?
Could he be an evil cultivator?
King Baiqiu’s eyeballs rolled, seemingly thinking about something.
Jun Changxiao folded his arms and smiled: “If this Seat came here to die without any preparation, would that make sense?”
“Boy.”
King Baiqiu’s expression was dark: “You’re that exhibitionist’s hired help. This time you came to my territory to avenge him?”
From this statement, one could tell that when the Purple Scale Demon King tried to recruit him years ago, he definitely exposed his body!
“No.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This Seat came to recruit you.”
This level of spirit beast, if taken for his own use, would absolutely be a golden enforcer!
“Recruit me?”
King Baiqiu sneered: “Do you think that’s possible?”
Even the Purple Scale Demon King couldn’t make him submit—naturally he wouldn’t follow a human either.
“Not possible, but certain.”
Jun Changxiao smiled, smiling quite creepily.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, rays of sky-piercing light rose from the surroundings, enveloping both him and Jun Changxiao’s group.
“Formation?”
King Baiqiu’s expression changed slightly.
“Swoosh!”
There was no time to consider. He urgently retreated backward while simultaneously gathering powerful force and fiercely bombarding that spatial barrier.
“BOOM—”
This punch’s force was quite terrifying, but it only made the barrier shake slightly without directly shattering it.
“Kekeke!”
In the distance, Zhen Dejun covered his face and laughed strangely: “An formation I set up—you think you can break it just by saying so!”
Turns out this bomb maniac had also come. His lack of presence was also deliberate, because the Sect Master had instructed him to find an opportunity to set up a formation when coming.
While the Ancient Myriad Sect fought the beast horde, he had taken action, leaving formation flags behind wherever he passed without anyone noticing.
What formation did he set up?
The Dragon-Imprisoning Grand Formation.
This formation came from the Strange Gates Thirty-Two Formations’ Supreme Grade section.
Calculated according to Star Meteor Continent standards, its level was absolutely comparable to Saint Grade.
Of course, its function was merely to restrain targets, so Zhen Dejun could barely set it up.
As for the Supreme Grade section’s higher-level offensive formations, given his current Formation Emperor level strength, he had the will but lacked the power.
Simply put.
Jun Changxiao dispatching the main force here had already planned how to deal with King Baiqiu.
He just hadn’t expected that two shots would blast him out and he’d fall into the prepared trap.
“BOOM!”
King Baiqiu didn’t believe it and once again condensed force to bombard the barrier. The result was still failure to break through. He roared angrily: “Cunning humans!”
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Just then, dark wind came from behind. Ding Xingwang flew over, the palm strikes containing Five Absolutes force frantically unleashing!
The target was trapped.
Whether he could be subdued still depended on strength!
Bang!
Bang!
Five Absolutes Evil Saint and King Baiqiu instantly engaged. One was an Evil Saint, one was a high-grade spirit beast—it would be difficult to determine the outcome for a while.
“You go too.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Yes!”
Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy flew over.
The two didn’t join in, but rather positioned themselves on both sides looking for opportunities, prepared to launch a sneak attack.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM!”
The spirit beasts simultaneously trapped in the formation were still being brutalized by Li Qingyang, Ye Xingchen and others.
However, since the real master had arrived, Jun Changxiao ordered them not to kill but to injure them and render them unable to fight.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM!”
The most fierce fighting still had to be Ding Xingwang and King Baiqiu. After all, both were Saint-level—the energy erupting from their every move was truly earth-shattering.
“Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Bring the rocket launcher.”
“Yes!”
After receiving the rocket launcher, Jun Changxiao shouldered it, aimed at King Baiqiu, and transmitted: “Find an opportunity to separate. This Seat will give him a shot.”
“Swoosh!”
Ding Xingwang took the opportunity to fly away.
This was the opportunity!
Jun Changxiao said nothing more and directly activated the special effects and pulled the trigger. With a ‘boom,’ the shell accurately bombarded King Baiqiu.
“Fire Rain Technique!”
“Sky-Filling Feathers!”
Taking advantage of their master’s attack and Old Ding’s departure, Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy each unleashed their skills.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh—”
Dense fireballs and arrow-like feathers shot forth.
“Swoosh!”
After a barrage of bombardment, King Baiqiu flew awkwardly from the smoke, condensing force to once again bombard the spatial barrier.
Enduring multiple attacks hadn’t caused fatal injury, but continuing to fight like this would eventually lead to disaster. So the urgent priority, no matter what, was to break the formation!
Unfortunately, one punch bombarding the barrier still had no effect. He was instead entangled by Ding Xingwang again, forced to engage in fierce battle.
Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy stood in the distance.
Jun Changxiao charged the shell and aimed at him again.
These three were truly shameless.
If discussing strength alone, King Baiqiu didn’t necessarily fear Ding Xingwang, but with someone constantly ambushing him from the side, he felt very anxious.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM!”
At the other end, dozens of spirit beasts were all laid flat by Li Qingyang and others.
Though King Baiqiu was furious, he was also powerless.
He even discovered the formation barrier was continuously separating and shrinking, planning to bind him within a certain spatial range.
“Damn it!”
He roared furiously, patterns appearing all over his body, instantly transforming into a giant with a very large head but only one eye.
“So the true form is a big-eyed monster.”
Ding Xingwang sneered, hand seals continuously forming. Five Absolutes force frantically spread, transforming into palm strikes that ruthlessly bombarded him.
In human form, King Baiqiu could rely on speed to evade, but now manifesting his true form with his body swelling countless times, he immediately couldn’t avoid being hit.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh—”
On the other side, Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy also unleashed their skills. It was completely a rhythm of attacking at will and hitting the target.
“BOOM!”
Jun Changxiao fired a shot, not even using special effects, yet accurately bombarded the back of King Baiqiu’s head, then collapsed in despair: “If I’d known it was this easy, I would have come alone! Why bring so many people and waste that effort!”
The system said: “Host could subdue this beast because the opponent is severely injured. Otherwise it absolutely wouldn’t succeed.”
“If so, the Purple Scale Demon King was covered in wounds back then—why didn’t the subduing succeed?” Jun Changxiao asked.
“This…”
The system was silent briefly, then said: “Perhaps because he comes from the Upper Realm, his latent strength is relatively high, so the Master Ball couldn’t capture him.”
Though the explanation was somewhat forced, it actually made sense. After all, regarding bloodline and hardcore strength, King Baiqiu definitely couldn’t compare.
Being able to drive off the Purple Scale Demon King back then—firstly because the opponent had just smuggled down from the Upper Realm and his strength hadn’t fully recovered, and secondly because he used some despicable methods.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Both fists held together fiercely bombarded the spatial barrier.
What King Baiqiu needed to do now wasn’t fight, but break the formation as quickly as possible and escape this disadvantageous situation!
Five Absolutes Evil Saint’s strength was comparable to his.
There was also Jun Changxiao’s shells and Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy constantly serving him.
Let alone King Baiqiu—even if it were King Qianqiu, over time he’d also meet tragedy.
“BOOM!”
After manifesting his true form, his power increased significantly. One punch bombarding the barrier brought stronger tremors than before!
“Sect Master!”
Zhen Dejun transmitted: “Can’t hold much longer!”
The Dragon-Imprisoning Grand Formation’s function lay in imprisoning. If the opponent continuously used powerful force to bombard it, it would definitely shake the foundation.
“Swoosh!”
Ding Xingwang charged over, about to unleash palm strikes!
“Whoosh whoosh—”
A large hand carrying violent wind swung over.
“Swoosh!”
Ding Xingwang urgently dodged, his brow slightly furrowed as he thought: “This guy’s power is stronger than before!”
“Die!”
King Baiqiu’s other large hand spread open, bombarding toward Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy in the distance.
With his massive body and in an enraged state, this palm’s speed was extremely fast!
Little Demon Fairy was about to spread her wings to protect herself.
“Scram!”
Xiao Longlong kicked her face, sending her flying away.
The entire process happened in a flash. At this moment, the large hand was already pressing down with infinite force.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM—”
The flying Little Demon Fairy barely stabilized, covering her face in fury: “You dare kick me…”
The voice stopped abruptly.
Because Xiao Longlong was now sunken several zhang underground.
That young face was twisted to the extreme, clearly having suffered injuries from enduring King Baiqiu’s palm!
He kicked me to save me?
Xiao Longlong said quite annoyedly: “I told you… you’re… a burden…”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Just then, King Baiqiu’s foot viciously stomped down.
Ding Xingwang could rescue in time, but just as he was about to charge over, he stopped, because…
“Stomp.”
The Purple Scale Demon King stopped before Xiao Longlong, looking up with a cold smile: “Baiqiu brat, this king will meet you!”
“Defeated subordinate, die!”
King Baiqiu’s footprint contained even stronger force!
“BOOM!”
Just then, the Purple Scale Demon King’s clothing and pants exploded, revealing his robust body. Both palms fiercely raised up, an extremely dense momentum erupting!
Basic operation, no need for six.
“BOOM—”
The heavy, violent footprint was directly caught by the Purple Scale Demon King, who then roared and flew upward while holding the force.
“Thump thump thump!”
King Baiqiu retreated several steps on one foot, surprise appearing in his eyeball.
This defeated subordinate’s aura was far inferior to last time—how could he withstand his own foot and even lift it!
If forced to give an explanation, it was that the Purple Scale Demon King was now a member of the Ancient Myriad Sect—he had recharged his account!
“Swoosh!”
Just then, Five Absolutes Evil Saint came around from behind: “Five Absolutes Palm!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Evil aura frantically erupted, gathering into a palm strike containing five types of force that pressed down like Mount Tai!
“BOOM!”
King Baiqiu’s massive body couldn’t dodge at all and immediately endured the palm strike bombardment. Five types of evil energy force penetrated his body, beginning deep-level destruction!
Old Ding’s Five Absolutes Palm’s formidable aspect lay in being able to penetrate internally, thereby producing powerful destruction. Even thick-skinned spirit beasts were no exception.
“Hiss!”
Five types of evil energy were like surging floods sweeping through his body. Though King Baiqiu could still resist, his face had already twisted.
The Purple Scale Demon King leaped up, his eyes cold: “Before this king, you don’t deserve to be called king!”
“BOOM!”
One fist fiercely bombarded King Baiqiu’s large head, directly blasting him into continuous retreat, nearly sitting down on his rear.
Though this was more due to Five Absolutes evil energy disrupting the opponent, having been tempered thousands of times in the Ancient Myriad Sect, the Purple Scale Demon King’s power had become more explosive!
Without a doubt.
As long as he recovered to his pre-sealed state, his strength would only be stronger.
This was the real, tangible benefit of joining the Ancient Myriad Sect.
Don’t think the Purple Scale Demon King did it for that meal, for mid-grade Beast Pills—he was actually always enduring, always using Jun Changxiao to strengthen himself… Can’t keep making this up.
“Five Absolutes Palm!”
Ding Xingwang once again condensed a palm strike and bombarded!
“BOOM!”
This palm pressed down, and King Baiqiu finally couldn’t hold on and directly sat on the ground. The five types of toxins in his body instantly broke through layer after layer of defenses, beginning to disrupt his five viscera and six bowels, even charging straight toward his sea of consciousness area!
“Everyone get out of the way!”
Xiao Longlong shakily stood up from the deep crater, roaring: “I’m going to burn it to death!”
Old Ding and the Purple Scale Demon King urgently dodged away.
Xiao Longlong raised his hand. Scorching flames spread out, instantly gathering around King Baiqiu, forming a violent wind vortex.
“Dragon Flame Storm!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Violent flames immediately erupted frantically, forming a sky-piercing fire pillar. The temperature within the formation rapidly increased, causing Li Qingyang and others to condense spiritual armor to protect their bodies.
“Crack crack crack—”
The scorching flames produced intense collision with the formation barrier, beginning to gradually distort.
Zhen Dejun’s expression turned ugly. He could only withdraw it.
“Swoosh!”
The instant the barrier disappeared, the Dragon Flame Storm lost its obstruction and directly rushed skyward, looking ready to charge straight to the clouds!
Qian Buduo and others all widened their eyes.
Can someone tell us what’s actually happening in there!
“BOOM!”
Suddenly, an explosive sound came.
The sky-piercing fire pillar suddenly exploded, scorching air waves sweeping over, blowing everyone’s cheeks burning hot.
…
Deep in the mountain range.
Scorching air waves gradually dispersed, revealing a scorched area approximately several hundred zhang in radius.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others successively withdrew their spiritual armor, looking at everything around them, their mouths all twitching.
Xiao Longlong’s Dragon Flame Storm move was truly too fierce!
“Swoosh!”
Jun Changxiao dispersed the energy wall before him, exclaiming in surprise: “Dragon Flame Technique is really strong.”
“Thump!”
Xiao Longlong sat down on his rear.
Fully erupting the technique he’d learned not long ago consumed all the energy in his body. Now not only was he injured, he’d entered a serious weakening period.
“Hey.”
Little Demon Fairy landed before him, saying coolly: “Are you alright?”
“Burden in the way…” Xiao Longlong’s words stopped mid-sentence as his eyelids rolled back and he fell unconscious, his body also reverting to lizard form.
Little Demon Fairy picked him up, pouting: “If you weren’t unconscious, I definitely wouldn’t let you off!”
“Swoosh!”
Landing before her master, she tossed him down.
Jun Changxiao confirmed Xiao Longlong was merely unconscious with no serious issues, then stood and flew up, landing in the Dragon Flame Storm explosion area.
King Baiqiu had already entered human form, lying scorched black in a deep crater.
This guy had not only been severely blasted by the Dragon Flame Storm once, his five viscera and six bowels had also been seriously eroded by Five Absolutes evil energy. At this moment he was already in a severely injured state.
Being trapped in the formation and gang-beaten by the Ancient Myriad Sect without dying directly was really quite good.
“Can he be captured?”
Jun Changxiao took out the high-grade Master Ball.
Years ago he’d used it to try subduing the Purple Scale Demon King, but unfortunately hadn’t succeeded.
“Go ahead!”
Jun Changxiao flung his hand: “Master Ball!”
“Ding!”
It directly struck King Baiqiu’s head. As the Master Ball hit the ground, the Taiji pattern immediately emitted light, then enveloped and captured him inside.
Jun Changxiao was completely bewildered: “It succeeded just like that? He’s subdued just like that?”
