Chapter 77 Trap
"Fellow Daoist Wang," Xuanhun Shangren looked at Wang Tianlong, "your wind-type divine ability has the strongest attack power and the fastest speed. You will be in charge of the attack, and you must make sure it's effective in one strike!"
"No problem." Wang Tianlong agreed without hesitation. He took a deep breath, and his internal magic power began to circulate wildly. A blue light flowed around him, and an incomparably sharp sword intent condensed at his fingertips.
"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, you and the other fellow Daoists are responsible for setting up the 'Minor Sumeru Vajra Formation' after we break through, temporarily blocking the pursuers and buying us time." Master Xuangu then looked at Master Qingmu.
"This humble Taoist obeys!" Master Qingmu nodded solemnly, took out a set of golden array flags, and began preparations.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew tense and suffocating.
Wang Tianlong closed his eyes and focused his mind, adjusting himself to peak condition. He knew that the next strike would determine the success or failure of this mission, and would also determine the life or death of everyone involved.
"Now!" Caiyi suddenly shouted.
"Make your move!" Master Xuanhun gave the order.
Wang Tianlong suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light! He moved like lightning, instantly appearing in front of the weak point on the west side of the fortress. He brought his right index and middle fingers together and pointed at the black magic net in mid-air!
"Wind God's Thrust! Break!"
A beam of cyan light, condensed to its extreme and almost materialized, struck the demonic net with a sharpness that could tear everything apart, like a meteor falling from the heavens!
"laugh--!"
A piercing tearing sound rang out. The seemingly indestructible black magic net was violently twisted and deformed under the impact of the cyan light, and finally, a tear more than ten feet long was forcibly ripped open!
Xuanhun Shangren roared and transformed into a streak of black light, rushing into the fortress. Wang Tianlong, Caiyi, and the others followed closely behind, instantly disappearing behind the demonic net.
"Oh no! They've gotten in!" The ancient demons inside the fortress were thrown into chaos.
Inside the ancient demon fortress, the sounds of battle were deafening.
The battle between Xuanhun Shangren and Xue Luo, the leader of the ancient demons, was the most intense. Both were at the peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and each clash unleashed a deafening roar, the shockwaves surging and shaking the surrounding buildings. Xuanhun Shangren wielded an ancient longsword, its blade flashing with righteous light; Xue Luo, on the other hand, brandished a blood-red giant axe, his demonic energy surging. The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand in the short term.
Meanwhile, the battles in other areas were one-sided. Although Wang Tianlong, Caiyi, and their group were outnumbered, they were all elites and worked together seamlessly. Despite the ancient demons having the advantage of terrain, they were no match for Wang Tianlong's elusive wind-based magical abilities and Caiyi's sharp swordsmanship. Demonic blood stained the ground of the fortress red.
"Fellow Daoist Wang! Fellow Daoist Caiyi!" Xuanhun Shangren forced Xue Luo back with a sword strike, and shouted loudly, "We will hold this place back! You two go and destroy the teleportation array and the magic crystal warehouse!"
"Understood!" Wang Tianlong and Caiyi exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, I'm leaving this to you!" Wang Tianlong called out to Qingmu Shangren, who was engaged in a fierce battle with an ancient demon deputy general.
"Rest assured! I will not fail you!" Master Qingmu replied loudly, his whisk scattering thousands of silver threads that tightly bound his opponent.
Without further hesitation, Wang Tianlong's Sky-Stepping Boots shone brightly with azure light, his figure transforming into an almost imperceptible streak, bypassing several battle zones and heading straight for the area deep within the fortress where spatial fluctuations were strongest. Caiyi also transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, following closely behind.
"Stop them!" Xue Luo roared, his eyes bloodshot, as he tried to break free from Xuan Hun Shangren's entanglement. However, he was held tightly by Xuan Gu Shangren and could not escape.
Several ancient demons tried to stop Wang Tianlong and Caiyi, but were forced back by a few wind blades from Wang Tianlong, and could not stop their advance at all.
The two moved extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, they passed through numerous palaces and arrived at the entrance of a huge underground cave.
At the entrance to the cave, the demonic energy was so dense it was almost impenetrable. Two ancient demon elders at the late Nascent Soul stage led a squad of elite demon soldiers, standing ready for battle. Behind them, deep within the cave, a massive, nascent teleportation array constructed from countless black crystals emanated intense spatial fluctuations. Beside the teleportation array, mountains of demonic crystals glowed with an alluring light.
An ancient demon elder shouted sharply, and with a wave of his magic wand, a thick bolt of black demonic lightning shot towards Wang Tianlong.
"Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Wang Tianlong sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, and threw a punch with his right fist!
"Wind God Fist!"
A condensed azure fist aura, carrying the power to tear through the void, collided fiercely with the black demonic lightning!
"boom--!"
With a deafening roar, the demonic lightning was forcefully blasted apart by the fist's energy. The fist's energy continued its momentum, heavily striking the ancient demon elder's protective demonic energy.
"Pfft!" The Ancient Demon Elder spat out a mouthful of demonic blood, staggering backward, his face filled with horror. He hadn't expected Wang Tianlong's strength to be so formidable!
At the same time, Caiyi also made her move, her longsword transforming into a sky full of sword shadows, enveloping the other ancient demon elder and the group of demon soldiers. Wherever the sword light passed, the demon soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the ancient demon elder was also forced to scramble for his hands.
Wang Tianlong seized the opportunity and flashed into the teleportation array.
He gazed at the nascent teleportation array, a weapon of immense effort and resources expended by the ancient demons, a cold glint in his eyes. Destroying it would cripple the ancient demons' plans!
He took a deep breath, and his magical power surged wildly into his right hand. At his fingertips, a wind blade, compressed to its limit and containing terrifying destructive power, was rapidly taking shape.
"Break!" Wang Tianlong shouted, and a wind blade shot out from his fingertip, slashing fiercely at the core of the teleportation array!
"No—!" The two ancient demon elders roared in despair, but they were powerless to stop it.
"Boom—!"
With a deafening roar, the core of the teleportation array was precisely hit by the wind blade and instantly exploded! The violent spatial power was freed from its restraints and raged like a flood, shaking the entire cavern violently and sending debris raining down.
The teleportation array is destroyed!
"Quick! Magic Crystal Warehouse!" Caiyi shouted, forcing her opponent back with a sword strike.
Wang Tianlong's gaze shifted to the mountain of magic crystals piled beside him. These magic crystals were a vital strategic resource for the ancient demon army; destroying them would be an even greater blow to the ancient demons!
Without hesitation, he swung his hands repeatedly, unleashing several massive wind blades that slashed towards the pile of magic crystals.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions rang out as the magic crystal pile was detonated by the wind blades, transforming into massive fireballs of demonic energy that shot into the sky! The entire cavern instantly turned into a sea of fire!
"Go!" Wang Tianlong and Caiyi exchanged a glance, then turned into two streaks of light and rushed out of the cave.
Mission accomplished!
The roar of the destroyed teleportation array and the explosion of the magic crystal warehouse still echoed in the cave. Wang Tianlong and Caiyi moved like lightning, about to rush out of the cave along the original path to meet up with Xuan Gu Shangren and the others and escape.
However, just as they were about to reach the entrance of the cave—
"Buzz—!"
A deep humming sound rang out without warning.
Countless crisscrossing crimson demonic runes instantly lit up the ground, walls, and dome at the entrance of the cave! These runes spread and connected rapidly like living things, forming a huge, inverted bowl-shaped crimson light shield in the blink of an eye, completely enveloping the entire cave entrance, along with Wang Tianlong and Caiyi!
A heavy, viscous, and highly corrosive and binding magical pressure descended instantly, like countless mountains pressing down on the two of them!
"Oh no! It's a trap!" Caiyi's expression changed drastically. She slashed at the blood-red light barrier with her long sword, but it only caused a ripple. The light barrier did not budge!
Wang Tianlong's heart sank. He tried to use his escape technique, but found that the surrounding space seemed to have frozen. The spiritual light of the Sky-Stepping Boots was suppressed and could not break through the spatial constraints!
