The combined attack formation set up by dozens of evil cultivators was shattered by Mu Lingshi before it could take shape.
They simply hadn’t expected the Demon Sacred Maiden to be so terrifying, killing nearly twenty Fish Dragon Realm experts in a row with a snap of her fingers, she was like a different person from the last time they fought.
“Last time, this Holy Maiden deliberately gave way to you guys, do you really think that your black market is so powerful?”Mu Lingshi rolled her eyes, looking rather proud of herself.
“Retreat quickly, don’t get hit by the Gang Breaking Needle ah.”
In the dark jungle, a miserable scream resounded once again as another Fish Dragon Realm Evil Cult cultivator was killed by the Gang Breaking Needle.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of the Devil Cult was almost like she had transformed into a Queen Bee, once she was hit by the needles she shot out, she would definitely die.
The crowd of Evil Cult cultivators, like avoiding snakes and scorpions, retreated backwards in fear.
The Ice Demon standing in mid-air was furious when he saw this scene.
The people he brought with him were all Fish Dragon realm cultivators, each one of them was an expert of the Evil Dao who could hold their own, and losing one of them was equivalent to losing a large amount of wealth.
What’s more, in just ten breaths of time, nearly twenty Fish Dragon Realm Evil Dao cultivators had been killed by her, which could be considered a heavy loss.
The Ice Demon said indignantly, ”Your Highness the Holy Maiden is really hiding quite Avray, I didn’t realise that your strength, was so profound and unfathomable. Old me was underestimating you before.”
“Cold wind is like a sword.”
The Ice Demon condensed his spiritual power and converged it towards the Withered Wood Staff.
A powerful power fluctuation erupted from the Withered Wood Staff, forming a huge cold air vortex with a diameter of a hundred feet, instantly turning the surrounding grass and trees into pieces.
Even Mu Lingshi felt the massive pressure and hastily released her Holy Light Deity, stomped her feet to avoid the cold air vortex, and hurriedly retreated backwards.
“Wow!”
Mu Lingshi’s left eye pupil, a white point of light flew out, transforming into a holy sword that fell into her hand and slashed at the cold qi vortex.
“Cloud Breaking Style.”
The sharp sword qi, transformed into a long sword arc, tore through the vortex and flew towards the Ice Demon in the centre.
The Ice Demon only smiled coldly and turned the withered wood staff around, and in the vortex of cold air, a white cold ice ring blade immediately condensed and slashed forward, shattering the sword energy.
“Your Highness, you’re underestimating a forty-fourth ranked Spiritual Power Master, with your cultivation, would it be too self-indulgent to think of a solo battle with the old man?”
A raspy laugh came out of the Ice Demon’s mouth, and his hands held the Deadwood Staff up. At the same time, the cold qi vortex became more and more enormous, sweeping the defence of several miles of territory into it, dust, boulders, trees, all of them flew up, creating a scene of doomsday collapse.
Inside the vortex of cold air, one cold ice ring blade after another coalesced, constantly rotating and flying, emitting “whistling” whistling sounds.
The powerful destructive power of a 40th rank Spiritual Power Master completely exploded.
Just when the Ice Demon wanted to strike the spells out.
Suddenly, above the Ice Demon’s back, a bowl-thick purple lightning bolt condensed out of thin air, forming a strange pattern, and quickly fell down, striking the top of his head.
The Ice Demon was struck by the lightning without any defence, and the spell that was originally half cast immediately surged backwards.
“Rumble!”
Countless cold ring blades lost control and rushed towards the centre, slashing at the Ice Demon’s body.
The huge vortex of cold air also collapsed and dissipated outwards in an instant.
Suffering from the backlash of the spell, the Ice Demon stifled a grunt, his face turned pale, and his body shook as if he was about to fall from mid-air.
Zhang Ruochen, wearing the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, stood in a position above the Ice Demon’s back and was slightly taken aback, not thinking that the sneak attack just now hadn’t actually killed this one old demon.
In that case, it seemed that the Ice Demon’s body must have protective treasures.
“Thunder General’s Wrath.”
Zhang Ruochen was only surprised for a split second before he quickly cast a second spell.
A dozen of lightning bolts condensed into a three zhang tall fierce and furious Thunder God General, holding an electric hammer and emitting a whistling sound as it blasted down, striking the top of the Ice Demon’s head.
“Splat!”
One of the crystals, one of the string of crystal pendants around the Ice Demon’s neck, burst open, emitting a circle of cyan-coloured light that wrapped around his body.
The Lightning God General struck the electric hammer out, and it was immediately blocked by the cyan-coloured light, forming a circle of energy ripples that stirred out.
Even after being blocked and suffering from the electric hammer attack, the Ice Demon still spat out a mouthful of blood, his body falling towards the ground rapidly.
Thirty miles away, with a rumbling sound, the Ice Demon impacted on the ground, smashing a large pit in pieces on the ground.
The Ice Demon coughed out a mouthful of blood, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and flew up again from the pit, standing hovering at a low altitude at the same height as the tree, staring at the surroundings, and roaring out sternly, ”Who the hell is it? Who is sneaking up on old me?”
“Puffing!”
With a stern roar, a bone-piercing cold aura emanated from the withered wood staff in the Ice Demon’s hand, completely freezing dozens of miles in a circle into an ice field. All the flowers, plants, trees, fish, insects, birds and beasts all turned into crystal clear ice sculptures.
Without any sign, three feet above the Ice Demon’s head, a giggling sound was emitted and condensed into a spherical lightning bolt.
The Ice Demon was no less than an old demon that had been cultivating for a hundred years, and after the first two sneak attacks, his alertness had increased a lot.
By the time Zhang Ruochen struck for the third time, he had only just coalesced the spherical lightning, when the Ice Demon immediately noticed it and raised his Deadwood Staff to strike upwards, striking a three-metre long ice spike.
Although it was only a first level spell of the ice system, it was cast by a forty-fourth ranked spiritual power master, but it was able to explode with a powerful penetrating force.
Even for a Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation powerhouse who had cultivated the Liuli Treasure Body, if he was struck by the ice spike, he was afraid that he would have to suffer a serious injury. The Liuli Treasure Body’s ability to endure had a certain limit.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect the Ice Demon’s alertness to be so high, so he immediately executed his Body Technique and dodged to the side.
“Wow!”
The three-metre-long ice thorn, like a jade lance, flew out close to the edge of Zhang Ruochen’s waist, rushing high into the sky and piercing through the clouds.
Although the Meteor Invisibility Clothes were divine and could evade the Heavenly Eyes of a Spiritual Master and the five senses of a Martial Cultivator, once Zhang Ruochen touched a foreign object or performed martial arts and spells, the other party would still be aware of it.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen only had one chance to sneak up on an expert who was stronger than him by wearing the Meteor Invisibility Clothes.
If he didn’t succeed, the other party would be able to find him out through the fluctuations of the true qi and spells on his body, thus leaving him with no place to hide.
This was the case with the Ice Demon at this moment.
Although he couldn’t see Zhang Ruochen’s figure, he could feel the fluctuations of spells and heaven and earth auras. Thus, he waved his Deadwood Staff once again and struck out a type of Level 2 spell, Frost Storm.
Frost coalesced out from the sky, and as long as they were dabbed by the Frost Qi, cultivators below the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation would immediately be frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.
Even for cultivators above the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, if they were caught in the storm, they would still be in dire straits.
Since he had already been detected by the other party, fortunately, Zhang Ruochen stopped hiding.
His body, which manifested in mid-air as if it was a liquid humanoid creature, transformed into a stream of light, and in just a split second, he rushed in front of the Ice Demon, casting the Grade 1 Spell Wind and Thunder Finger, striking at the centre of the Ice Demon’s brow.
Even though, forty-fourth ranked Spiritual Power Masters mostly just used first level spells and second level spells when they fought against their enemies. Although they were not as powerful as the advanced spells, the speed of casting them was very fast, and they were very suitable for close combat.
Without a martial artist around to protect them, if they really went to cast powerful Level 3 Spells and Level 4 Spells, they were afraid that they would be killed before they could even get their spells out.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen rapidly flying closer, the Ice Demon’s pupils gradually dilated.
Zhang Ruochen’s speed was so fast that it was almost like a ray of light, and the Ice Demon didn’t even have time to dodge before the Wind Thunder Finger struck his brow.
“Boom!”
The crystal pendant on the Ice Demon’s neck shattered another one.
At the same time, his body, flew backwards and crashed to the ground once again.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen’s speed, had become so fast, was because, he was wearing the Meteor Invisibility Vest.
This piece of precious treasure was not just able to be invisible, it doubled Zhang Ruochen’s speed. This was where the word “Meteor” came from.
Doubling one’s speed might not seem like a big deal, but it was actually a big mistake.
One must know that when two experts of equal strength fought each other, even if the speed of one of them only increased by a single point, it could greatly increase one’s chances of winning.
If the speed was doubled, one could almost crush the other without any effort.
A cultivator of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation was only twice as fast as a cultivator of the Fish Dragon First Transformation. However, the difference was a world of difference.
Zhang Ruochen’s current strength was enough to fight against an average Fish Dragon 9th Transformation cultivator. Wearing the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, his speed, in the Fish Dragon Realm, was almost an unrivalled existence.
“Actually blocking three of my sure-fire attacks in a row.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on top of the crystal pendant on the Ice Demon’s neck, noticing that three crystals were missing from the top of the pendant, leaving only two.
The Ice Demon’s protective treasure should be that string of crystal pendants.
Mu Lingshi had already cleared all the remaining evil cultivators and chased after them, her toes stood on tiptoe in the void, stepping out a circle of true qi ripples, her body as light as a swallow as she landed on the top of a maple tree to the left of the Ice Demon.
Mu Lingshi’s gaze surveyed the wretched Ice Demon below and laughed, ”It is said that the Ice Demon has a string of Seven Star Pendant, a medieval relic found from inside a high-level relic, and there was once someone who exchanged seven cities with him, but was also rejected by him. Now, how come there are only two left?”
The Ice Demon was standing on the ground, his heart incomparably angry.
As Mu Lingshi had said, the Seven Star Pendant was a treasure of immense value, and as long as one possessed it, it was equivalent to seven more lives.
However, using one, one was missing.
For so many years, he had been very careful in using it, and had only used a mere two of them.
The first one, was twenty years ago, when he was in the Eastern Domain Divine Soil, he was besieged by the imperial army and had no choice but to use one to save his life.
The second one, however, was a half-saint, who wanted to kill him, and attacked him from thousands of miles away. Forced to do so, the Ice Demon once again used a crystal to save his life, and used some other means to successfully escape.
Both of those times were quite dangerous, and it could be said that it was a close call, and he had to use the crystal on the Seven Star Pendant.
However, all along, the Ice Demon felt that it was worth it. After all, with the help of the Seven Star Pendant, he had escaped twice, otherwise, he would have died twenty years ago.
However, today, the Ice Demon was quite annoyed and incomparably stifled, actually wasting three crystals on a sneak attack by a junior. It was equivalent to wasting three lives.
