The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 621 - 354 Struggle_2

Changtian let out a yawn and said, "Keep calm, the Plague Demon of the Middle Ages wouldn’t be so easily dealt with; otherwise, it wouldn’t have wreaked havoc all around."

At this moment, the man in brocade stomped his foot and complained, "A bunch of useless fools! If my elite troops were here..." He received the news too late and could only hastily assemble these people, who naturally fell short of the best in terms of strength.

One of the White-robed Elders spoke in a deep voice, "This is not a place to stay long, let’s capture it and make a quick exit." He took a dark box from his chest and was about to move forward when cracking sounds came from the ice. Soon, giant cracks appeared from within the ice... The green smoke trapped inside twitched, making everyone’s heart skip a beat.

"Not good!" The White-robed Elder’s complexion changed, he tried to hasten his actions, but it was too late. With several light popping sounds, the ice burst from the inside out, and the Plague Demon floated out, its voice surprisingly calm, "Well done, you truly surprise me."

Next to them, an elderly man with pointy ears and monkey cheeks exclaimed, "How is this possible, my Ice Formation should have frozen you for half an hour..."

The green smoke twitched slightly, and yet the old man felt as if it had just glanced at him; a chill ran down his spine as he heard the creature speak, "Did you create this Ice Formation? Very good, very good, it’s a pity that I was once sealed under the solid ice of the Extreme North, where temperatures were a hundred times lower than your little talisman array! How could your cultivation possibly be considered impressive by me?"

Meanwhile, Changtian was educating Ning Xiaoxian, "This old fellow might be a Talisman Master. Hmm, this is a new kind of Cultivator that emerged after I was sealed. They mainly use talismans they create as Magic Artifacts to cultivate. Those who have mastered their craft can integrate talismans into arrays, forming powerful talisman arrays; they are even more powerful than mere talismans. However, there aren’t many of this type of Cultivator; it’s quite unusual to encounter one today."

The White-robed Elder took a step forward and said ominously, "You are merely at the end of your rope now, quickly surrender, and perhaps our lord might spare your life!"

The Plague Demon chuckled sinisterly, "At the end of my rope? Enough to take your lives. I have a little something here as well, please do accept it!" With that, the green smoke floating mid-air suddenly disintegrated into countless tiny specks.

Ning Xiaoxian, with her keen eyesight, immediately recognized the form of these specks; they were Plague Seeds she had once held in her hands. But the Plague Demon’s creation this time was slightly different from before; the colors were purple tinged with green, each one having arms and legs, and every seed had a deep fissure. These seeds fell to the ground and started writhing before standing up, she then saw clearly, those weren’t fissures, but mouths that opened and closed, filled with sharp teeth, inadvertently reminding her of piranhas. One could imagine, being bitten by them would be quite a grim fate, wouldn’t it?

Now she felt fortunate to be far away from the scene, as the Plague Demon seemed determined to fight to the death this time, releasing an overwhelming number of Plague Seeds. The ground was densely covered, laying three layers thick with the original site of the green smoke as the center.

"Wow, there must be tens of thousands of Plague Seeds here?" She felt her scalp tingle and silently crawled a bit further away from the scene.

Two White-robed Elders shouted, "Protect the young master, retreat!" One supported the man in brocade into the air, while the other chanted under his breath and suddenly exhaled a stream of True Fire. The rain was gradually lessening, and the elder’s Lifebound Divine Fire naturally wouldn’t be extinguished. Upon touching the air, it turned into a bright fire python that clawed and lunged toward the Plague Seeds on the ground.

As soon as the fire python swooped down, the Plague Seeds scattered. While they didn’t seem numerous stacked together on the ground, once they took to the air, they blocked out the sky, resembling the locust swarms that could pass through the rice fields of Central Nanshan Continent before harvest.

The White-robed Elder’s fire python was indeed the nemesis of these Plague Seeds, witnessing the fire python sweeping through the skies and digging underground. Every Plague Seed that was swept over sizzled and fell to the ground, emitting a burnt scent and unable to move any further. Despite this, the sheer number of Plague Seeds made it impossible for the fire python to exterminate them all at once.

The mass of Plague Seeds split off, pursuing everyone with astonishing speed. The light blue Plague Seeds that Ning Xiaoxian had caught in Xinghuang Village could fly, but these mutated, upgraded versions flew even faster, quickly about to overtake everyone.

The White-robed Elder guarding the man in brocade frowned and suddenly pointed his fingers together, and the two people lagging behind suddenly stiffened, unable to move their limbs, plummeting headfirst from the air.

These two had been injured during a recent battle, and thus were running the slowest, so the White-robed Elder used them as scapegoats. From Ning Xiaoxian’s viewpoint, she could see disbelief and resentment in their eyes.

As expected, the Plague Seeds showed no mercy, swarming over them and wrapping the two up into big dumplings. Without even a scream, the two hapless individuals died on the spot. As the fire python swooped in again, burning many of the seeds during the chaos, the few remaining Plague Seeds exploded, leaving a clear hollow in the middle. The enveloped men were gone, no bodies, no bones, no blood, just some pieces of clothing, rusty Magic Artifacts, and a storage bag that gently fell to the ground.

In just a few breaths, two living people were completely devoured; the ferocity of the Plague Seeds was indeed alarming! The remaining six people also felt their scalps tingle. Especially the three men, besides the White-robed Elder and the man in brocade, who were further away from their master. After all, dying for a job is one thing; it’s quite another to be directly thrown into a swarm of Plague Seeds by your superior to meet your end! (To be continued.
