Chapter 104: Chapter 87: Great Demon, Demon Sect’s Great Array

Fang Xing and Baili Yanran followed.

---

On Lake Heart Island, the search continued.

The area gradually narrowed.

Deep within the island, Fang Xing and his party had just emerged from the woods, arriving at the edge of a deep pool a hundred zhang across.

Not far away, in the woods, the group from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect also arrived at the edge of the same deep pool.

The gazes of the two groups met.

Suddenly, the water in the pool churned, and an arctic chill emanated from its depths.

Both sides were immediately on high alert.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!!!

From within the pool, spikes of ice suddenly shot out.

As fast as lightning!

VMMMM—!!!

With their bodies shielded by True Qi, the charging ice spikes instantly met a powerful resistance, halting suspended in mid-air.

TSSSSS—!!!

Fang Xing manipulated his True Qi, converting it into Red Flame True Qi. The approaching ice spikes were instantly incinerated by the flames.

BOOM!!!

The pool’s surface exploded, and a roar like thunder crashed into everyone’s ears.

A massive, ferocious monster emerged from the water.

It had a black body and a dragon-like head, and it radiated an immense, powerful aura.

"The Great Demon Profound Flood Dragon!"

Fang Xing’s gaze hardened. This was the first Great Demon he had ever encountered.

An Initial Realm Great Demon!

An oppressive pressure washed over them.

Half-submerged in the pool, the Profound Flood Dragon swept its savage gaze over everyone present.

VMMMM!!!

In that instant, the people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect made their move.

The air cracked as a golden Fist Seal, so dense it seemed solid, shot forth.

It hurtled toward the Profound Flood Dragon with immense power, the force of its passage tearing through the air and creating a sonic boom.

The Profound Flood Dragon roared, and the water converged, instantly forming a wall of ice.

BOOM—!

The golden Fist Seal smashed through the ice wall, sending shards of ice flying in all directions.

VMMM—!

A dark light flared. The golden Fist Seal struck the Profound Flood Dragon, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Immediately after, volleys of Sword Qi and Palm Seals came screaming in.

But the Profound Flood Dragon blocked them all.

Monstrous waves erupted from the pool.

The shockwaves spread for ten li!

"Great Sun Seal!"

With an eruption of True Qi, Lin Ze shot into the air. A golden radiance enveloped his entire body as a majestic, divine power swept forth.

A golden True Qi Divine Seal condensed and hurtled toward the Profound Flood Dragon.

"ROAR!!!"

The Profound Flood Dragon roared, and an arctic aura erupted from it. The frigid energy in the water gathered, forming innumerable ice spikes that shot out.

BOOM—!!!

A powerful shockwave swept through the area, making the very air tremble.

As their attacks collided, some of the scales on the Profound Flood Dragon’s body were blasted off.

Lin Ze landed back on the ground, his face flushed.

’The Martial Arts of the Supreme Profound Upper Sect are truly extraordinary...’

Fang Xing’s heart tightened as he watched the scene unfold.

Even he felt a trace of oppressive aura from the power of the Martial Arts Lin Ze had unleashed.

"More than ten True Qi Realm cultivators, all Upper Sect Disciples. Their vital blood should be quite rich."

Just as Fang Xing and his two companions were about to make a move, a sinister laugh echoed around them.

Several figures appeared around them like phantoms.

Each of them held an object that looked like a Compass.

The expressions on everyone’s faces changed.

"The Blood Demon Sect!"

Lin Ze seemed to recognize them, and his expression darkened.

VMMMM!!!

The six newcomers instantly used their True Qi to activate the Compasses in their hands. In a flash, a conspicuous blood-red light rose from each device.

The beams of light crisscrossed in the Void, making the air tremble. It seemed to be a special kind of Array. A crimson light spread out, instantly enveloping them.

At the same time, the Profound Flood Dragon let out a great laugh and dove back into the deep pool. Frigid energy condensed, and the entire hundred-zhang-wide pool froze solid.

An intense, sinister energy washed over them as, one by one, blood-red phantoms rushed forward, baring their claws and fangs.

"The Blood Demon Array!"

Shen Ye’s expression changed. Seeing the charging blood-red phantoms, he channeled his True Qi and unleashed a palm strike, tearing a phantom apart.

But soon, the blood-red phantoms charged again, and their numbers had grown.

The others were facing the same situation.

They could raise a fist and blast a blood-red phantom apart, but it was utterly useless.

The moment a blood-red phantom was destroyed, it would reform and charge again, seemingly endless, like a horde of malevolent spirits.

Fang Xing and his two companions gathered together. He watched the charging phantoms, his brow deeply furrowed.

"Be careful of these blood phantoms. Don’t let them latch onto you, or they’ll absorb your qi and blood," Shen Ye warned.

"Is there no way to break this Blood Demon Array?" Fang Xing asked.

"The Array is already formed. It’s nearly impossible to break from the inside. Unless we completely annihilate these blood phantoms, the Array won’t break, and we won’t be able to escape."

Shen Ye looked grim. Even as he spoke, he struck out again, killing another charging blood phantom. But it quickly reformed—this time with more of them—and pounced straight at him.

’Completely annihilate them...’

Fang Xing’s brow was furrowed. As he watched the blood phantoms charge, Red Flame ignited on his fist.

TSSSSS—!!!

The approaching blood phantoms vanished like melting spring snow, dissipating in an instant. This time, however, they did not reform into more phantoms.

"Does this count?" Fang Xing asked, looking at Shen Ye.

"...It does."

Shen Ye was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"Let me try!" Seeing this, Baili Yanran immediately channeled her True Qi, forming a Flame Palm Seal to strike a charging blood phantom.

The blood phantom disintegrated, but in the next instant, it re-formed in even greater numbers.

It rushed straight for Baili Yanran.

"Why didn’t it work?!" Baili Yanran’s expression changed.

She tried again, but the phantom she destroyed simply re-formed once more, splitting into even more phantoms that charged at her.

’They’re both Flame Attributes, so why doesn’t mine work?’

Baili Yanran’s expression turned grave.

Shen Ye also gave it a try, but the result was the same.

He struck out with a Flaming Saber condensed from True Qi, but the phantom he killed simply re-formed again, this time in greater numbers.

’It seems the attribute of my Red Fire Divine Skill isn’t just an ordinary Flame Attribute.’

Seeing this, Fang Xing instantly understood.

He had yet to fully unlock the true power of his Red Fire Divine Skill.

The Red Flame Realm was not as simple as it appeared.
