Chapter 1115: Chapter 896: Nine-layered Kill

Not to mention, this Dragon-slaying Sword really knows how to disguise itself.

Especially that tattered wooden bridge, it seemed a strong wind or rain could easily topple it over.

But as the aura of the Snake Demon slowly approached, the sword body vibrated, shaking off years of frost, and the blood-red Dragon-slaying Sword combined with the array, instantly transforming the wooden bridge!

"Crack!"

The wooden bridge split open and changed its position, becoming a large wooden array located at the very center of multiple arrays in just a few breaths!

"Buzz～"

"Buzz Buzz～"

One after another, arrays lit up, including the large array transformed from the wooden bridge, with a total of nine arrays!

"Nine-layered Kill?!" Ling Di’s pupils were shocked as he exclaimed in surprise, then cursed, "Which cursed bastard dares to set this up, aren’t they afraid of karmic retribution?"

The Nine-layered Kill is a deadly array.

The Ancient Ten Great Sects hated the Demon Race and wanted to stop the Walking Flood Dragon but didn’t dare set such a deadly array, fearing the slaughter would bring disaster to their sects and future generations.

Whoever set this array certainly doesn’t care about their descendants, nor about carrying the burden of slaughter. Old Dog immediately thought of one person——Xuanyuan Yangguang!

That guy practiced the Slaughter Dao, hated all demon cultivators in the Wilderness World, had no attachments, and was most likely to set up such a killing array.

"Woo～"

The blood-red long sword at the center of the wooden array trembled and buzzed, and countless Snake Demon souls that were slain by the sword emerged from the array.

They were colorful and massive, writhing together, and the scars from being slain were clearly visible.

Having died under the Nine-layered Kill, even their souls couldn’t escape, becoming puppets to block subsequent walkers.

This scene was too shocking, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yunqi’s snake scales all stood upright, rushing forward means certain death against this array; retreating would result in immediate petrification, sinking into the riverbed.

He raised his head slightly in the river, his scarlet vertical pupils looking through the porthole for the silhouette of the Venerable Family.

No way forward or back, apart from the Venerable Family, no one could save him now.

Standing on the Immortal Ship, Jiang Yuan had already read the system’s details the moment the array lit up, understanding the sinister and terrifying nature of this array.

"Xiao Bai, don’t be afraid, charge forward! I can keep you alive." He opened the private chat, giving Bai Yunqi a sliver of hope through "Secret Communication".

Activating the Death Warrior Lifesaver card, the Item Card in the storage bag transformed into a beam of invisible golden light, directly attaching to the giant snake in the water. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Hiss!"

No sooner said than done, suddenly feeling an extraordinary force descending upon him, Bai Yunqi hissed, opened his giant mouth, and charged forward without hesitation!

"Alas! What a pity."

"It’s all about timing and fate."

"The last tribulation, how terrifying it is!"

"Who set up such a vicious array here? It’s against the Heavenly Dao..."

......

The Sect Leaders and Elders of the Ancient Ten Great Sects, wise and knowledgeable, couldn’t bear to watch, knowing another white snake soul would join the mass of snake spirits, continuing to block the next Walker of the Flood Dragon.

The disciples, though unfamiliar with the Nine-layered Kill array, were deeply shocked from top to bottom as they cast their sights over the array, thinking if it were them, they might not withstand even the first layer.

And the Elders explained, each layer of this array harbors increasing lethality, up to the final layer, which can multiply a hundredfold in force, trapping and strangling prey stepping into the array alive.

That blood-colored long sword was the array hub and also the hardest Dragon-slaying Sword to deal with, hence those souls slain under the sword either lost their heads or were cleaved in two, meeting a most tragic end.

Yan Xuan stomped his foot anxiously, "If only he had two more years, focusing on Body Forging, he might withstand it!"

Dealing with the Celestial Secret of Transformation into a Flood Dragon, Xie Chenyuan dared not divine, only cast his gaze on Jiang Yuan, who remained calm and collected, hesitantly asking in a low voice, "Brother Bai can definitely pass, right?"

"Probably...won’t die." Jiang Yuan reviewed it several times, the system-issued Item Card stated it could block a death threat for a Death Warrior at a critical moment.

The problem is, Jiang Yuan didn’t know whether the Nine-layered Kill counted as a single death threat or nine separate threats?

If it’s one, he certainly could pass; but if it’s nine, he could only give him another Resurrection Card, ensuring he wouldn’t succeed in the Walking Flood Dragon. He’d have to plan for another attempt to transform again.

"Probably?" Xie Chenyuan’s heart skipped a beat, thinking even Jiang Yuan was unsure, fearing Brother Bai couldn’t escape this time!

He was both sad and angry, his eyes reddening, unable to watch any longer, he lowered his head and sighed.

"Oh no! He’s hit it!" Miss Hu Jiu’s cry carried a sobbing tone, her hands covering her face, she buried her head in her third sister’s bosom; Hu Zhile’s heart was pounding, yet she refused to believe that Brother Bai would stop here, her beautiful eyes fixated on the scenery outside the porthole.

Faced with tragic conclusions, everyone understood and couldn’t bear to watch.

In an eerie silence left with only the roaring floods, Hu Zhile suddenly screamed, "Look! Brother Bai’s Golden Body Dharma Aspect!"

Everyone was shocked, simultaneously looking over——Bai Yunqi, enveloped in surging river water, had already reached the front of the first killer array, his massive body glowing with brilliant golden light!

In a radiance like the rising sun, a golden giant snake phantom identical to him detached from his massive head, slightly lifted its head, opened its blood-filled mouth, and collided with the blood-colored long sword and numerous snake phantoms!

No dazzling magic attacks, just primal blood-and-flesh combat.

In an instant, the wails of snake phantoms, sword buzzes, array killings, and Bai Yunqi’s battle cry mixed together, stirring up a momentary, earth-shattering symphony over the turbulent waves.
