Chapter 2286: Chapter 2286: Slaughtering Demons
The five guardians of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain besieging Bai Wentai have decent strength among the Immortal Venerables, yet in the sealed space of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The madness in their eyes has subsided, replaced by terror.
"What’s going on?"
"What kind of spell is this? Who is that person, why is his power so terrifying?" The eyes of the five are all fixed on Jing Yan, clothed in a black robe.
When Jing Yan flew over earlier, they didn’t regard him seriously at all, thinking that Jing Yan at most was at the Immortal Rhythm Level. Even if Jing Yan was a cultivator at the Immortal Venerable Realm, they didn’t see him as a significant threat.
But once Jing Yan made his move, they realized the problem was severe.
"Break!" The five guardians of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, in panic, tried desperately to break the seal of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique.
"Die!" Jing Yan’s deep voice echoed.
In that sealed space, terrifying power descended, causing the bodies of the five Immortal Venerable guardians of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to disintegrate instantly. Even their defense magical treasures couldn’t withstand the formidable tearing forces.
Although the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique is not as mighty as the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, it is a first-class Immortal Venerable Level technique, especially when executed by Jing Yan, who has already entered the Immortal Venerable Realm.
Before Jing Yan reached the Immortal Venerable Realm, he could use his strength to assassinate E Si Saint of the Slaughter God Temple. Now that Jing Yan is an Immortal Venerable, his strength has increased several times over.
Thus, with just one move, the five guardians of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain were obliterated.
Until the five guardians died, Bai Wentai still hasn’t reacted completely.
What is the situation?
Bai Wentai, somewhat dazed, glanced at Jing Yan, then at the five guardians already slain, disbelief filling his eyes.
Isn’t Jing Yan a cultivator at the Immortal Venerable Realm?
"Jing Yan... Daoist, are you... could you be at the Immortal Venerable Realm?" Bai Wentai asked Jing Yan, slightly panting.
"Yes."
"Family Head Bai, now is not the time for idle talk. If you can still fight, go lend Uncle Hai a hand," Jing Yan said to Bai Wentai.
"Okay! Okay!" Bai Wentai replied eagerly, a spark gleaming in his eyes.
With one move, he obliterated five guardians!
Bai City... seems to have hope.
After swallowing an elixir, Bai Wentai charged towards Mu Hai’s location.
Meanwhile, Jing Yan spread out his divine thoughts forcefully.
At this moment, Youlong Demon Lord from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain finally noticed Jing Yan. This time, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain deployed over fifty guardians. With five instantly dead, it was hard for Youlong Demon Lord not to pay attention to Jing Yan.
The high-level guardian beside Youlong Demon Lord also stared wide-eyed at Jing Yan in the city.
"Who is that person?" Youlong Demon Lord didn’t recognize Jing Yan at all.
Previously, during the investigation of Bai City’s situation by the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there was no mention of Jing Yan in the intelligence. Youlong Demon Lord was very perplexed; even if Jing Yan was not a member of the Bai Family, such a formidable Immortal Venerable in Iron Bay should not be someone he’s never seen before.
"Lord Demon, that person looks very unfamiliar, I have no impression, I don’t know where he suddenly came from," the soul cultivation high-level guardian said, shaking his head.
"Investigate! Immediately! I need to know who he really is," Youlong Demon Lord said in a sinister tone.
After Jing Yan spread his divine thoughts in Bai City, his figure flickered and appeared at the most intense battleground. This place was the main battlefield where numerous demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain clashed with the city’s cultivators. Although the city’s cultivators were being killed and forced to retreat repeatedly, with the Bai Family’s Elite Guard holding them off, many unwilling to die without resistance had gathered here, fighting against the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s demons.
In just this small area, there were hundreds of demons with cultivation of Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm.
Jing Yan used the Virtualization Technique and directly descended into the battlefield. Upon spotting Jing Yan, the demons launched attacks unhesitatingly. Streams of energy continually crashed upon Jing Yan’s body, but these attacks were greatly diminished by the Virtualization Technique. Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance blocked the residual attack power without any issue.
The guards of Bai Family and the cultivators in Bai City also saw Jing Yan, their eyes full of doubt. Many guards of the Bai Family recognized Jing Yan. Jing Yan’s presence in the Bai Family Mansion for such a long time was no secret. Even some cultivators in Bai City had heard of Jing Yan, though they hadn’t paid much attention before, only thinking he was a formidable Immortal Rhythm Cultivator.
Jing Yan’s gaze fell on the numerous demons opposite him.
"Shadow Soul Kill!"
The soul technique, Shadow Soul Kill, was unleashed with a roar, and vast Divine Soul Power surged forward, bombarding the demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Among this large group of demons, only a few were Immortal Venerable guardians; the majority were Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm.
When struck by the power of Shadow Soul Kill, they felt a slight numbness all over before their divine soul bodies throbbed in pain.
In the blink of an eye, countless demons fell silently from the sky, dead.
Shadow Soul Kill!
This soul technique, though a low-level soul technique, wields significant power among low-level soul techniques and is notoriously difficult to cultivate. Jing Yan had mastered Shadow Soul Kill while at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm. However, this was the first time he used Shadow Soul Kill against enemies.
"Refreshing!" Jing Yan looked at the battle outcome of Shadow Soul Kill, surging with excitement.
Compared to Shadow Soul Kill, the previous Divine Soul Storm and Divine Soul Wind Blade were child’s play.
"Shadow Soul Kill!" Jing Yan cast Shadow Soul Kill again.
Another large group of demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain plummeted from the sky.
In just two breaths, over thirty percent of the Immortal Rhythm Realm demons in that vast area were annihilated, about three hundred Immortal Rhythm Realm demons died from the Shadow Soul Kill.
A few Immortal Venerable guardians were also in great pain from the attack of Shadow Soul Kill. If not for Jing Yan spreading his attack target over many, some of these Immortal Venerable guardians might have been directly killed.
Soul cultivators, even in the Nightmare City area, are extremely formidable beings. Attacks from soul techniques are hard to defend against; if a divine soul body can’t endure, immediate death ensues.
"Retreat!"
"Scatter quickly! He’s a soul cultivator!" one guardian reacted and shouted loudly while swiftly retreating.
The other demons exerted themselves to retreat in panic using divine power.
"Trying to escape? Can you?" Jing Yan sneered coldly.
"Nine Heavens Divine Fire!" Jing Yan raised his palms, unleashing violent divine power.
From the void above, clusters of black fireballs surged down like meteors. These black fireballs crashed into the group of demons, exploding continuously. The terrifying temperature emitted seemed capable of evaporating everything.
