Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Battle Against the Evil Cultivator
The moment the Great Formation appeared.
The overwhelming demon beasts around, their demonic aura was instantly suppressed by a few degrees.
Even the sinister elder frowned, "The Sky-locking Formation of the Heavenly Hidden Academy?"
"Hmph, let’s see if you really have what it takes."
The elder suddenly erupted with power.
"How dare you." The eight Vice Hall Masters were already prepared, their aura and momentum long gathered.
"A fine evil cultivator beast, daring to wreak havoc in my Four-direction Domain, I’ll see if you truly have any skill."
The Vice Hall Master of the Asura Hall was the first to strike.
The aged fist, yet it wielded overwhelming power.
The sinister elder’s hands formed claws, and he actually contended directly with a Martial Arts Emperor level Body Cultivation Martial Artist.
Boom...
A loud explosion sounded.
The Vice Hall Master of the Asura Hall remained unwavering.
The sinister elder also remained unmoved, his claws gripping the Vice Hall Master’s fist.
Zi... Zi... Zi...
Thin hands like white bones, yet so fierce; as the fingers touched the skin on the Vice Hall Master’s fist, a sizzling corrosive sound was heard.
"Hmm?" The Vice Hall Master of the Asura Hall’s expression changed.
The physical strength he was proud of was showing signs of corrosion.
"Such sinister and strange methods, let us assist you." The other seven Vice Hall Masters instantly took action.
"Wind God Bind." The Vice Hall Master of the Wind Shattering Hall clasped his hands into the air.
Streams of Heaven and Earth Power descended from above like the power of divinity.
The gentle Wind Attribute power suddenly turned fiercely tyrannical, binding the sinister elder entirely.
"Flame Heart Slash." The Vice Hall Master of the Flame Hall conjured a blade of flame, slashing heavily.
The sinister elder’s body already had intense Wind Attribute power.
At this moment, the wind aided the fire, enhancing the power of the flame blade severalfold.
The other Hall Masters simultaneously struck out with palm wind.
"Blood Asura." The elder showed no fear, rather he let out a cold chuckle.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The attacks of the eight Hall Masters landed heavily on the elder’s body, producing waves of roaring sounds.
"This evil cultivator, if not dead, must be severely injured." A warrior of the Flame Hall shouted coldly.
However, as the explosions subsided, it revealed the elder’s perfectly intact body.
"Is this all you’ve got? Heh heh." The elder sneered coldly.
"Hmm?" The faces of the eight Vice Hall Masters changed.
"This evil cultivator’s cultivation level should be similar to ours, but after massacring dozens of large cities recently, absorbing and refining countless Essence Blood, his strength has greatly increased."
"A bunch of trash." The elder sneered dismissively, "Once I refine the Blood Dao Body, I’ll make the eight main halls of the Four-direction Domain flow with rivers of blood."
"Let’s see if you survive today." The eight Vice Hall Masters joined forces once again.
Elsewhere, the overwhelming demon beasts also instantly launched their attack.
The battle between the Eight Palace Martial Artists and the demon beasts erupted instantly.
Xiao Yi glanced at the barrier in the sky and frowned.
He was well aware of the power of the Heavenly Hidden Academy’s Thirty-Six Locking Heaven Formation.
The fact that this formation was set up indicated that at least one person among the Heavenly Mechanism Hall’s martial artists held the position of a Deacon or higher from the Heavenly Hidden Academy.
However, strong as this formation was, without the augmentation of the Xuan Lock Chain and the formation treasure Sky-reaching Jade from the Heavenly Hidden Academy, its power was much weaker.
Yet, with the numerous Array Masters here maintaining the formation together, it could still exert 70-80% of its effect.
At the very least, unless all the Array Masters here perished, trapping all the demon beasts in this Demon Beast Forest, along with this evil cultivator, was not a problem.
Xiao Yi only pondered for a moment, then stopped thinking further.
Whoosh... his sword Qi gathered, and he instantly struck out.
The cold Sword Qi killed the demon beasts instantly.
With his current strength, slaying these ordinary demon beasts posed no difficulty.
Though numerous, the strongest among these demon beasts only possessed Peak of Saint King Realm strength.
Xiao Yi glanced at the battle between the eight Vice Hall Masters and the evil cultivator elder, then shook his head.
Killing these demon beasts posed no difficulty, but he was unable to join the battle of the eight Vice Hall Masters.
The melee of nine Martial Arts Emperors was not something he could partake in at the moment.
Fortunately, observing the battle, with the eight Vice Hall Masters working together, they completely had the evil cultivator elder on the defensive.
It seemed it wouldn’t be long before the elder would surely be defeated, or even killed.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Xiao Yi unleashed waves of Sword Qi, effortlessly reaping the demon beasts’ lives.
Qing Lin was also fighting.
"Heh, this is more like training." Qing Lin’s face was full of battle intent.
Xiao Yi smiled and nodded.
Among these endless waves of demon beasts, there were no few Late Stage and Peak of Saint King Realm demon beasts.
It was enough for Qing Lin to gain valuable experience.
Time gradually passed.
Two hours later.
The battle between the Eight Palace Martial Artists and countless demon beasts nearly erupted throughout the entire Demon Beast Forest.
The deaths and injuries were already beyond count.
Of course, the most casualties were among the demon beasts.
On the Eight Palace Martial Artists’ side, each possessed the title of Chief Steward or higher, with extraordinary means.
Therefore, their casualties were not severe.
Scarlet blood had already drenched the ground.
At this moment, that sinister atmosphere appeared again.
However, it wasn’t sweeping through, but rather like a black wind, shuttling across the battlefield.
Wherever it passed, blood and corpses vanished into thin air.
Suddenly, hiss...
A martial artist was swept by this black wind and instantly vanished.
The eerie black wind raged through.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Be careful."
The black wind was heading towards Qing Lin.
Xiao Yi flickered and pulled the battling Qing Lin away.
The black wind narrowly swept past Qing Lin.
Qing Lin evaded, but a nearby martial artist was instantly devoured by the black wind.
This time, Xiao Yi observed closely how these eerie auras caused the disappearance of martial artists, blood, and corpses.
"No, something’s wrong."
As that martial artist vanished completely, Xiao Yi suddenly realized.
He initially thought these eerie auras possessed extremely sinister power and corrosive properties, eroding the blood, corpses, and martial artists entirely.
But just now, he saw otherwise.
It wasn’t erosion, it was absorption.
It absorbed the deceased martial artist layer by layer, hair, flesh, bones, all absorbed.
It was layer by layer, but the speed was so fast it looked as if they vanished into thin air.
"No, something’s off." Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "Qing Lin, be careful. I’m going to assist the eight Vice Hall Masters."
With that, Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, heading straight for the battle of the eight Vice Hall Masters.
This action immediately shocked the surrounding Eight Palace Martial Artists.
"Boy, you’re crazy, what are you doing?" They exclaimed.
"It’s none of your concern if you die but if you affect the battle and drag the eight Vice Hall Masters down, can you take responsibility for the consequences?" The Qin Family Great Elder roared.
Not caring for the surrounding voices, Xiao Yi summoned the Cold Flame Sword out of thin air.
"Kid, you’re courting death." The elder sneered contemptuously, lunging at Xiao Yi with a withered palm.
"Hmph, you’ll regret underestimating me." Xiao Yi snorted coldly.
A torrent of killing intent suddenly filled the air.
One sword pierced out, like a surging blood sea.
"Hmm? He’s strong." The eight Vice Hall Masters were startled.
"Is there a way to end this quickly?"
