Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 781 - 694 Counterattack
781: Chapter 694: Counterattack
781 -694: Counterattack
(There was a mistake in the previous chapter, Hei Kui was at the bottom of the Blood Sea, and it was Yue Huangquan who went with Rogue Heart Sword Hero, ah, I really haven’t been in the right state of mind recently!)
But no sooner had he finished speaking than Yue Huangquan suddenly exclaimed, “Oh no, Brother Hei Kui is still at the bottom of the Blood Sea, and he also has a Heavenly Patrol Order on him.
We may have managed to escape temporarily, but doesn’t that mean Hei Kui has become meat on their chopping block?” Xiao He pondered and said, “It should be fine; I’ve explored the Blood Sea too.
It’s not a benevolent place.
Those people won’t take such huge risks to enter the bottom of the Blood Sea just to pursue one person. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Brother Huangquan need not worry too much.
As long as our setup is proper, we will surely make those people pay a price!”
What Xiao He said made sense, and after thinking it through, Yue Huangquan also felt it was correct.
Then, the group buried the four Heavenly Patrol Orders underground and rearranged the surroundings to look like no one had been there.
After that, Yue Huangquan and the others withdrew, leaving only Jue Luan and Pangu behind.
Once Yue Huangquan and the others had retreated to the range they had calculated, Jue Luan and Pangu began setting trap formations.
The reason two people were needed was that Pangu was very skilled in Formations and also had high comprehension with Seal Heavenly Stamp; he had already reached the Fourth Layer Realm and, given some time, was certainly capable of reaching the level of Divine Sense sealing heaven and earth.
The Formation Pangu and Jue Luan set, along with Pangu’s Seal Heavenly Stamp and Jue Luan’s unique Chaos Power, resulted in an undisclosed trap Formation that even they, the initiators, found terrifying.
They had never collaborated on such a thing before, and now that they were doing so, it felt surprisingly smooth, making Pangu can’t help but secretly sigh—were they naturally cut out for this sort of work?
The Formation Pangu and Jue Luan created didn’t have a specific name because it wasn’t a Great Formation, but a combination of countless small Formations linked together.
It was a truly domino effect; as soon as someone from the Myriad Demons Country stepped into the range of the Formation, it would trigger a chain reaction, and even they didn’t know what the final outcome would be.
The reason for this setup was that creating a super Great Formation capable of trapping Heavenly Venerate-level powerhouses, including Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao, would not only take considerable time but also cause abnormalities in Spiritual Energy and space due to its immense size.
Such a behemoth of a Formation would be like a beacon in the dark night to someone like Ling Weiyang, who isn’t a moth and wouldn’t foolishly leap into a flame.
Thus, these interconnected small Formations were the most appropriate.
After everything was set up, Pangu and Jue Luan carefully retreated as well and hid their entire presence with Yue Huangquan and the others in a concealed location.
On the other side, after taking various cautious detours, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Yue Huangquan finally returned to the place from which they had initially fled.
But as soon as they arrived, both were stunned.
In front of Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Yue Huangquan, there appeared an enormous Fire Phoenix with its wings spanning tens of thousands of meters.
The Fire Phoenix had spread its wings but was not flying; instead, it stood on the ground, its wings like two walls of fire, keeping all the Soul Beasts that had surged out blocked outside.
Of course, this was the scene Rogue Heart Sword Hero imagined at that time; what he was seeing now was an indescribable spectacle.
What Rogue Heart Sword Hero saw was as if time had suddenly stopped—a giant Fire Phoenix and all the Soul Beasts that had entered its body and the flames of its wings were seemingly frozen in time.
Each Soul Beast’s face still showed the last bit of madness before death, with not a trace of fear, indicating the Soul Beasts had died suddenly and unknowingly, without even realizing it themselves.
After standing dumbfounded for a long while, Rogue Heart Sword Hero finally managed to utter, “Is this…
frozen in an instant?
Did Brother Flame God, transformed into the Fire Phoenix, use flame to freeze all the Soul Beasts?”
It was truly inconceivable.
From ancient times, it was only heard that ice could freeze, and fire could only burn, but now Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Yue Huangquan finally witnessed the spectacle of flame freezing.
The enormous Fire Phoenix and the Soul Beasts within it looked like a massive, semi-transparent phoenix ice sculpture, which also contained countless Soul Beasts fashioned into ice sculptures.
If this were a worldly art piece, it would undoubtedly be an invaluable national treasure.
But at this moment, what Rogue Heart Sword Hero cared about was only one thing—whether Flame God was still alive!
Rogue Heart Sword Hero knew that when Flame God transformed into the Fire Phoenix, there were two states: one was him bursting forth as the original Fire Phoenix; the other was him using flame to transform into a phoenix form, which he generally used for fighting from the phoenix’s crest.
The translucent body of the Fire Phoenix before him seemed like a crystalline red jade sculpture, which clearly indicated that it was Flame God’s transformation into flame.
Therefore, it was very possible that Flame God was still at this Fire Phoenix’s crest.
Not daring to touch the ice sculpture Fire Phoenix, Rogue Heart Sword Hero quickly circled to the front of the Fire Phoenix with Yue Huangquan, but when he took a closer look, he did not see the Flame God above the Fire Phoenix’s head.
“This isn’t right.
How could Brother Flame God disappear?
That’s impossible.
This Fire Phoenix isn’t his true body; he should still be here!” Unwilling to give up, Rogue Heart Sword Hero searched carefully again but still could not find the Flame God anywhere on the Fire Phoenix.
“Could he be inside?
With this method of using spiritual power to transform into a beast and then control it, the practitioner could very likely be within the body.” Upon hearing this, Rogue Heart Sword Hero’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the Domain Instrument Seven-Star Dragon Abyss and with one sword strike, he slashed a gash into the statue of the Fire Phoenix before him.
However, before Rouge Heart Sword Hero could enter through the gap, Yue Huangquan had already grabbed hold of him, and in an instant, the two disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, the huge jade-like Fire Phoenix suddenly began to crumble, and all the fragments did not hit the ground but turned into countless red light spots that slowly dissipated.
In less than the time it takes for a pot of tea to brew, the two men found themselves facing an empty space.
They looked at each other, and Rogue Heart Sword Hero stuttered, “This, this…
The Flame God, has he disappeared?”
Just now, Yue Huangquan had suspected that Flame God was inside, but now that the entire Fire Phoenix and all the soul beasts had shattered and vanished, there was no sign of Flame God.
If Flame God had not turned into the broken light spots and disappeared, then it meant he had left beforehand.
Rogue Heart Sword Hero knew Flame God would not die so easily; the greatest possibility was that after transforming into the Fire Phoenix using Flame Transformation to block the soul beasts, he had left.
This meant that Flame God could very well be alive.
After Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Yue Huangquan conducted a thorough search and found nothing, they took a detour and returned to their original path.
Although Flame God had previously used that pattern to signify his readiness for death, Rogue Heart Sword Hero knew that didn’t necessarily mean Flame God truly wished to die.
The larger significance of that pattern was to express his resolve; Flame God was determined to cut off their escape route even at the cost of his life.
But as it turned out, it seemed Flame God was indeed not dead.
Since Flame God, Sun Wukong, and Xi Zhao’s lives were tied together after consuming the Netherworld Fortuity Fruit at the same time, Flame God would not joke about his life.
Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Yue Huangquan did not immediately return to the original spot but instead pressed forward, making a large detour to arrive on the opposite side of where they had rested before.
As soon as he and Yue Huangquan had just arrived, they heard a series of booming sounds.
The two knew that the plan had already begun.
Stealthily approaching, they saw that the place where they had rested was now completely obscured by a cloud of Chaos mist after a series of explosions, preventing them from seeing inside.
Shortly after, the two saw Yue Huangquan and the others, promptly went up to meet them, and breifly explained the situation regarding Flame God, after which Rogue Heart Sword Hero inquired about the developments.
“Just as Chaos Spiritless predicted, these people really chased us all the way here, but they didn’t expect that we had already set things up.
Now they’ve fallen into the formation.
Heh, this lesson will teach them how fatal it can be to underestimate one’s opponent.
Jue Luan, enter the formation and bring someone out, then let’s leave quickly!” Jue Luan nodded in agreement and then entered the mist of Chaos.
The many smaller formations linked together, Illusion Arrays and Killing Formations supporting each other, combined with Jue Luan’s Chaos Power and the Sealing Power of the Seal Heavenly Stamp, even Xi Zhao and Ling Weiyang would take an hour or two to escape.
The only regret was that due to the size of the formations, even the Killing Formations did not possess much killing power; they could only trap but not effectively harm those inside.
Moreover, Jue Luan’s Chaos Power was very special; no one but he could resolve or resist it, which meant that even if the group entered the formations with the intention of killing Ling Weiyang and the others, it was not feasible.
Therefore, instead of risking an attack on some people, it was better to take the opportunity to escape far away.
However, even if they couldn’t kill, at least they had to capture a prisoner alive.
Only with more information could they gain a more advantageous position.
Soon, Jue Luan returned, and he was holding an unconscious long-haired man.
The state of Jue Luan wasn’t very good either, panting heavily with sweat on his forehead.
To render a Heavenly Venerate Level expert unconscious without killing was indeed no simple task.
Moreover, Jue Luan had already used most of his Chaos Power in setting up the formations, so to incapacitate this person, Jue Luan had exhausted the very last bit of his Chaos Power.
“Quick, let’s go.
He will wake up in three hours, and we need to entirely escape from these people’s control within that time.
I’m very exhausted; I need to rest!”
Having said this, Jue Luan fell backward, fortunately caught by Pangu, who quickly hoisted him on his back, while Chaos Spiritless picked up the man on the ground.
The group exchanged glances and nodded at each other, but just as they were about to leave, Rogue Heart Sword Hero suddenly said, “Wait, Brother Hei Kui is still at the bottom of the Blood Sea.
Once Ling Weiyang and the others escape the formation and see that we have fled and even captured one of them, they will surely be furious and take it out on Hei Kui.
So you go ahead, I’ll look for Brother Hei Kui.
Right, give me that Heavenly Patrol Order on this person; I guess they must be using it to pinpoint our location!” (To be continued.
