Chapter 534: Counterattack (I)

Zhao Kuo cut the galaxy with one sword, and the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array, which had been poisoned by the extraterritorial demons for a long time, finally got a chance to catch its breath.

The surface of the formation was glowing with colorful luster, and the gaps in the sky were connected and spread out into formation patterns, performing the repair work.

Chen Yuan would not miss the moment of opportunity that Zhao Kuo had fought for. With a gleam in his eyes, he raised his hand and threw out the red flag.

The array plate held in the left hand projected array patterns, covering the gap in the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array.

The formation flags flew into the void and landed right on the key points of each formation pattern.

In an instant, the array patterns connected, madly devouring and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As the Avenue of Fire crossed the sky, the red fairy array slowly unfolded.

At the center of the formation, fire dragons and fire phoenixes were flying and circling.

A nine-tailed fox slowly opened its eyes, walked forward gracefully, and looked at the empty sea of ​​stars, with flames radiating and expanding in all directions.

Become!

Chen Yuan felt a little relieved and was about to turn around to check on Zhao Kuo's situation when his mind suddenly buzzed.

Almost half of the Shinto incense in the Mountain God Seal suddenly flew away, and a strong feeling of dizziness immediately enveloped his mind.

The dizziness came suddenly and without reason, causing him to stagger and fall into the clouds. Blood flowed from all his orifices, and many sores appeared on his body.

If the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array had not sent out a ray of spiritual light to support him, he would have fallen directly to the ground.

"Someone cursed you with a magical treasure, but you didn't die on the spot. Either the medium that cursed you was not strong enough, or you had a special magical item to protect yourself."

The spirit of the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array sent out a divine thought, and Chen Yuan was shocked and frightened.

If it weren’t for the Mountain God Seal that helped block most of the power, he might have died!

At this moment, he felt that the whole world was spinning, the spiritual energy in his body was chaotic and he couldn't even keep his body steady.

"Is there any solution?"

He could not speak clearly and rolled around on the ground unconsciously. The sores on his body began to fester severely.

"Either you have a high enough cultivation level to handle it and let the person who cursed you die from the backlash of heaven, or you can find the person who cursed you and destroy the spiritual treasure to break the curse."

When the great waves of spiritual response came from the Taizang Liuli Universe Light, Chen Yuan's internal organs churned violently.

Dark blue blood continued to flow out of his mouth and nose, making him unable to speak.

Zhao Kuo, who had just slashed out with the Immortal Demon Yin-Yang Sword, had his eyes wide open. He did not bother to recuperate from his injuries. He flashed to Chen Yuan's side, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

However, Chen Yuan made a "ho ho" sound from his mouth, and dark blue dirty blood kept gushing out. Before the pill entered his mouth, it was mostly corroded by the dirty blood.

By the time half of the pill was stuffed into Chen Yuan's mouth, the pill had already been completely corrupted.

Zhao Kuo's eyes were red with anger. The dirty blood that just spurted out was so corrupting and toxic. What happened to Chen Yuan's body? !

Without thinking too much, he took out another pill, wrapped it with sword intent, isolated the dirty blood, and put it into Chen Yuan's mouth.

“Puff…”

However, Chen Yuan's physique was already weak to a certain extent at this time. Although Zhao Kuo tried his best to restrain the edge of the sword, the sword intent wrapped in the elixir just entered his mouth and cut open Chen Yuan's mouth and throat.

A large amount of dirty blood gushed out, and Zhao Kuo was so frightened that he dared not push it down anymore. Looking at the big hole in Chen Yuan's throat, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely:

"Brother Chen! The replacement for the dead! Use the replacement for the dead quickly!"

Chen Yuan's body was dysfunctional, and he could no longer sense pain. He grabbed Zhao Kuo's arm in a daze, and a vague sound came from his face that had been cut open:

"Kill me."

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, not daring to use his sword intent. He just put his fingers together to form a sword, and used the Qi method that Chen Yuan had taught him before to pierce Chen Yuan's heart.

But after his heart was pierced, Chen Yuan did not die immediately. Instead, he looked more and more painful for some unknown reason.

Unable to bear it any longer, he slashed Chen Yuan's neck with his sword and cut off his head.

As Chen Yuan's life was cut off, his body, which was already full of decay and sores, immediately disintegrated into pus.

Zhao Kuo kept holding Chen Yuan's body, looking left and right for the appearance of the substitute spirit.

However, after searching for two breaths and not finding it, he stood up anxiously and shouted:
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen?!"

The next moment, Chen Yuan's hoarse voice came from behind:

"Here, the replacement for the dead spirit almost failed to work."

Zhao Kuo looked back and saw that Chen Yuan's skin quickly turned red, and then ulcers and rot formed.

Before he could open his mouth to ask what was going on, Chen Yuan had already revealed his true form, and the eight fox tails behind his buttocks had all fallen off.

The next moment, nine flaming fox tails sprang out, pushing Chen Yuan's aura to the nine-tail realm.

After using the secret technique of cutting off the tail, Chen Yuan also fully connected with the avenue of fire without reservation, causing his own aura to rise steadily.

The Nine-Tailed Realm combined with the Great Way of Fire increased his pressure to the point that even Zhao Kuo felt suffocated.

At this point, the cursed energy that had been invading him was finally suppressed, the hair on his body no longer fell out in large flakes, and pus-filled blisters no longer formed on his skin.

However, there was no joy in Chen Yuan's eyes, instead he looked even more solemn.

Because at this point, the cursed energy that was invading his body was merely suppressed, with no signs of being cut off.

If the cursed power is not completely cut off before the duration of the Tail Cutting Secret Technique ends, he will still be in a desperate situation.

Moreover, this time, the cursed power has penetrated into the soul and body, and it is difficult to take effect on undead creatures.

And in the vast starry sky beyond the sky, there are new demons from outside the domain, as well as demons from outside the domain pouring in from even farther away.

They rushed like crazy towards the gap in the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array.

As for the immortal formation set up by Chen Yuan, it was now dim and dark due to his loss of control just now.

Facing internal and external troubles, Chen Yuan frowned, but still mobilized his spiritual power to activate the formation.

When the Nine-Tailed Fox, the spirit of the Immortal Formation, opened its eyes again, Zhao Kuo at the side said:
"Brother Chen, what happened just now?"

"Someone is using a magical treasure to curse me in secret, and the curse has not yet died out."

Chen Yuan said this with a frown, and then continued to communicate with the spirit of the Taizang Liuli Universe Light Array to see if he could find a way to break the curse.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. After his spiritual sense swept over the extraterritorial demons that were surging from the sky, he took out a pill and swallowed it.

After taking a short breath, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan and said:
"Brother Chen, do you have any way to deal with this curse?"

Chen Yuan frowned and shook his head:
"Now I can only follow the instructions of the senior spirit of the Taizang Liuli Cosmic Light Array and use the Nine-Tailed Fox Realm to forcibly suppress the curse power."

"I will compete with the person who cast the curse to see who can outlast it. If I can't outlast it before the Tail-Severing Secret Technique ends, I will still be entangled by the curse and die."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, and the long sword in his hand turned back into a sword shadow, but it did not return to his back, but hung in front of Chen Yuan:

"Brother Chen needs to stay here and guard the formation. Force out a little of the curse power. I will go find the person who cast the curse."

"Can you find it?"

"Brother Chen, have you forgotten how my swordsmanship was clear when we were on a mission together to find the hidden ghost?"

"If you are contaminated by this curse cast by the magic treasure, you will be in danger of death." Chen Yuan frowned and reminded.

"Between you and me, who is afraid of death?" Zhao Kuo curled his lips. Chen Yuan felt warm in his heart. It turned out that brothers were reliable. He grinned and said, "Okay!"

He immediately forced the cursed power that had been suppressed in a corner of his body to his right claw. When he was about to point it at the sword shadow in front of him, he suddenly paused.

But Qin Tianjian appeared in front of him, blocking Zhao Kuo's sword shadow:
"Zhao Kuo still has to guard here. I am also very skilled in swordsmanship. Let me go."

As he said this, he handed his sword to Chen Yuan's claws.

Chen Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Tianjian would dare to risk his life to find the person who cast the curse for him.

Nodding, he touched Qin Tianjian's sword with his claws: "Thank you, Brother Qin."

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the spell power fell on Qin Tianjian's sword.

Qin Tianjian's aura sank, and the Supreme Merciless Sword Intent surrounded his body, forming a gray-blue whirlwind visible to the naked eye.

The trace of cursed power that Chen Yuan injected into his sword was now being carried by the gray-blue whirlwind and flew towards the east.

Qin Tianjian's expression remained unchanged, and he and his sword disappeared together.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Shall I go with him?"

Although he knew that Zhao Kuo was worried that Qin Tianjian was not working hard enough, Chen Yuan still shook his head and flew to the center of the Fire Immortal Formation:

"No need for that. I have to concentrate on presiding over the immortal formation. I really need someone to protect me. Your master will do his best to save me. He is also contaminated by the curse power."

Zhao Kuo pursed his lips. He naturally knew that Tianjian Mountain would not be careless about this matter.

After all, everyone can see that Chen Yuan is the one who will be afflicted with this calamity.

If he dies, the demonic calamity will be powerful and the immortal world on earth will be doomed tomorrow.

But since it was related to Chen Yuan's death, he was always a little worried.

But because Chen Yuan said that he needed someone to protect him, he finally nodded and said nothing.

Watching Chen Yuan merge with the spirit of the formation and fully activate the immortal formation, Zhao Kuo took out a pill and swallowed it, concentrating his mind and hovering just below Chen Yuan.

······
On the strong wind layer of the eastern border, a figure covered in blood was kneeling in front of a skull.

The skull was filled with evil thoughts, forming some kind of great power that distorted and concealed the atmosphere and scene of the place.

If it hadn't bumped into it so close, even with spiritual sense and vision, it would not have been able to find any clues about this place.

At this time, the figure covered in blood was in the layer of strong wind. He did not dare to use any of his cultivation to isolate himself from the strong wind. Large pieces of flesh and blood had been blown away by the strong wind on his body.

To activate this magic treasure, the caster must be placed in the strong wind, and endure the wind's attack without any resistance until the caster dies.

"Why won't this beast die yet? Why won't it die yet?"

He cursed under his breath as another gust of wind blew over his head, shaving off his scalp and some of his crown.

As the blood gushed out, the intense pain made his whole body tremble violently, and he almost couldn't help but use his magic power to protect his body.

But he kept in mind Kong Changhen's advice that if he broke the rules of the spell, the spell would backfire on him.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain and continued to kneel in front of the skull.

Strong winds blew past, cutting off his shoulders, toes, and left ear.

The gushing blood was constantly being swallowed by the skull, and the curses in his mouth became more and more vicious.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far from him, looking around with cold eyes.

The sudden appearance of this figure immediately caused the kneeling person's expression to change slightly.

The sword's intent soars into the sky, and a merciless wind accompanies it. This is the Qin Tian Sword that the Demon General mentioned and wanted to pull into the devil's way but failed!
Why is he here?
The kneeling figure dared not move, and looked tremblingly at Qin Tianjian who was looking around.

Qin Tianjian seemed to ignore the kneeling worshippers and skulls that were "so close" and disappeared after looking around.

Seeing Qin Tianjian disappear, the figure kneeling in front of the skull looked relaxed, but then his chin and butt were cut off by the strong wind.

As the blood gushed out, his whole body twitched uncontrollably and an extremely suppressed growl came from his throat.

But as soon as he let out this low roar, it stopped abruptly because Qin Tianjian came back.

Qin Tianjian's face remained indifferent when he returned, but there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He used his natal spirit sword to absorb the curse power from Chen Yuan. With his sword heart clear, he could naturally sense the source of the curse power.

Especially after he left just now, he immediately found that he was getting farther away from the source of the cursed power, and he immediately knew that there was a problem in the previous strong wind layer.

Coming here again, he glanced around with narrowed eyes, suddenly snorted coldly, and swept the sword in a circle.

The gray-blue sword light condensed into a sword ring and suddenly expanded outward with him as the center.

The figure who had been kneeling was startled. When he was about to use the substitute undead creature to discard his tattered body, the skull suddenly emitted a magical light that enveloped him.

The sword ring swept past like a gentle breeze blowing against the bright moon, without any ripples and moving away to the horizon, without hurting the skull and the demon returning to the void.

No wonder the Demon General didn't arrange for someone else to protect me. It turns out that this magic treasure has a spirit and can protect its master on its own.

He was delighted, but then the strong wind cut off his nose and right ear.

The severe pain washed away the joy in his heart and made his face twitch uncontrollably.

Qin Tianjian sensed the sword ring moving away, but it did not cause any movement, and his face darkened.

He was sure that the source of the curse power was here, but he was also shocked that the magic treasure could avoid the sword ring containing the Supreme Ruthless Sword Intent.

It was not known whether the curse had been lingering in his natal spirit sword for too long, or whether his previous sword strike had angered the magic weapon that cast the curse, but a sore now appeared on the back of his right hand.

The sore spread very quickly, spreading from the back of his hand to his shoulder in almost two breaths, and continued to spread towards his neck.

But after Qin Tianjian took a look at the rotten sore on his hand, he closed his eyes and even restrained his supreme ruthless sword intent.

Without the suppression of sword power, the curse power infected his entire body almost instantly, causing sores to appear all over his body.

As dirty blood gushed out of his mouth, he suddenly opened his eyelids which were covered with festering sores.

Pus flowed down as his eyelids were raised, but it could not hide his indifferent and ruthless gaze.

With the cursed power infecting his entire body, when his connection with the source of the curse was strongest, he saw the location of the skull with his swordsman.

The right arm covered with pus was raised, and the sword in the hand emitted a gray-blue light.

With one slash of the sword, the gray-blue sword light was condensed and infinite, yet it was also dreamy and unreal like water waves, as if it was between the real world and nothingness.

"Crack!"

The unreal sword light flashed past, and the skull was cut in half, making an unwilling empty sound:

"Cut my heart and my sword!"

The next moment, a magic light appeared and the spell was broken.

The cursed power that enveloped Qin Tianjian immediately broke away and rushed back towards the figure who was kneeling in front of the skull.

Moreover, a powerful backlash curse force descended from the darkness, which prevented the kneeling figure from even having time to find a way to commit suicide, and was turned into a pool of pus by the curse force.
