250: Chapter 250 Four vs. Four!

...

Shi Jian looked up at the sky. Above the southern river channel, three massive Auras soared into the air, demonic clouds blotting out the sun and turning the sky dark for thousands of miles.

Leading them was a purplish-black flood dragon, a hundred and fifty zhang in length, surrounded by purplish-black poisonous water. Everywhere it passed, even the air seemed to rot.

The Poison Flood Dragon King!

On either side of him, the Red-scaled Flood Dragon and the Bilan Flood Dragon flanked him to the left and right. The three flood dragons formed a triangular Formation, their Aura even more terrifying.

In the eastern sky.

Within a dark blue cloud of insects, the Aura of the Bee Queen, Mingshui, also emerged.

Four Golden Core Yao Generals had arrived together!

Shi Jian's expression remained calm. This was his first true hard-fought battle in the Evil Water Marsh, yet he didn't think much of it.

For no other reason than he could afford to be reckless with so many trump cards!

A Nascent Soul-level Divine Sense was merely one of his many trump cards. His own raw strength alone was enough to make him invincible among those of the same realm.

Not to mention the old monster, Zixiao, who resided within him.

Although Zixiao was parasitic on Shi Jian and his cultivation level wasn't particularly high, he could lend his power to Shi Jian, causing his combat strength to skyrocket.

Facing this Poison Flood Dragon King, he truly had little to fear!

"Shi Yin, the Red-scaled Flood Dragon is yours."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

As soon as he spoke, an icy-blue streak of light soared into the sky. Shi Yin's true form of a Frost Snow Giant Bear was revealed as he pounced straight toward the Red-scaled Flood Dragon.

"Golden Crocodile, I leave the Bilan Flood Dragon to you!"

"Golden Crocodile obeys!"

The giant crocodile, which had been waiting for a long time, suddenly caused the waters of Fenghu Lake in the city to surge violently. The giant Golden Crocodile broke through the water and rushed toward the Bilan Flood Dragon.

Its hundred-zhang-long crocodile body instantly spanned the sky, pouncing forward like a mountain!

"Chengzu, the Bee Queen is yours!"

"I obey the Old Ancestor's command!"

Sun Chengzhu stepped onto a sword and rose into the air, thirty-six Flying Swords swirling around him. Dark golden sword light shot out like meteors, aiming straight for the Bee Queen within the eastern cloud of insects.

Meanwhile, Shi Jian himself directly faced the Poison Flood Dragon King.

"Foolish Bear, this is our first time meeting."

The Poison Flood Dragon King coiled high in the sky, looking down at Shi Jian. Every word he spoke was wrapped in purple toxic mist...

"Do you think you're impressive just because you subdued the Golden Crocodile?"

"Today, this king will test you to see what you're truly made of."

"I'll return those words to you. Here, you are the challenger. Entertain this king to your heart's content, and perhaps I might spare your life!"

Seeing that the Poison Flood Dragon King was addicted to trash-talking, Shi Jian ignored his nonsense.

His bear body swelled rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive form nearly twenty zhang tall. Purplish-gold lightning arcs crackled wildly, turning the entire sky a brilliant golden-purple...

In the next instant, Shi Jian moved!

Treading on the Void Realm, his massive body soared upward at an absurd speed, and he swiped a claw straight toward the Poison Flood Dragon King's head!

The Poison Flood Dragon King twisted his body, his hundred-and-fifty-zhang form drawing an arc in the air, barely managing to dodge...

The dragon's tail swept across!

Shi Jian braced his front claws against the Void Realm, forcefully blocking the sweeping tail.

As the two forces collided, the space within a hundred zhang was compressed into a visible shockwave.

A look of solemnity flashed through the Poison Flood Dragon King's eyes.

Tough? Incredibly tough!

This bear's Physical Body was even more solid than he had anticipated. It was like a mountain of flesh; he couldn't budge it at all!

"How are you so tough, you bear? Are you a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard?"

Spewing trash talk, the Poison Flood Dragon King opened his mouth and poured down a torrent of purplish-black poison, covering an area of several hundred zhang in toxic mist.

Shi Jian didn't dodge or evade. Channeling thunder spiritual energy throughout his body, the purplish-gold electrical arcs between his fur transformed into a layer of Thunder Armor. The moment the toxic mist touched the surface of the Thunder Armor, it was completely ionized and could not penetrate at all.

This Thunder Armor Divine Ability was truly a versatile ability, proving useful against almost any attack!

"You should save your useless poison."

Shi Jian grinned, his vertical pupils filled with mockery. This immediately made the Poison Flood Dragon King's face fall, his expression twisting with intense irritation.

...

As the Golden Core duel erupted in the sky, the battlefield below was also completely ignited.

The southern river channel.

There were as many as eighty-seven Foundation Establishment water flood dragons and giant pythons of the Dragon Python Clan. The horde of demons rushed into the northern bank's positions like black arrows.

On White Cloud Temple's side, Sun Qiming led a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivator to meet them head-on. Even though they were outnumbered, they showed no fear!

Twenty-four against eighty-seven.

The disparity between the two sides was obvious, but Sun Qiming had no intention of retreating.

"Group up to face the enemy! Groups of three, do not fight them alone!"

Sun Qiming's arrangement was simple and brutal: if they lacked numbers, they would band together, using Formations to make up for the numerical disadvantage, with three Foundation Establishment Cultivator supporting one another.

One would lead the attack, one would assist and coordinate, and one would defend against the enemy.

Whenever a water flood dragon great demon rushed forward, they were blocked by the combined Spells of a three-person team. However, there were simply too many attacking dragon-python great demons.

While those in front were blocked, even more leaped out of the water from behind, bypassing the front line to flank them from both sides.

"Activate the Formation!"

On the southern wall of Fengshui City, a slaughter formation was suddenly activated. For a moment, the surrounding lakes shifted, and droplets of water continuously floated up into the air.

The water droplets continuously gathered together, dense and numerous.

Immediately after, dozens of spiritual lights shot out from the city walls. They first hit the water droplets with precision, and then the spiritual lights refracted repeatedly within the droplets, finally transforming into beams of light that blasted toward the water flood dragon great demons!

The spiritual pillars blasted into the water flood dragons, instantly shattering their scales and spraying blood.

Some of the weaker Foundation Establishment Great Demons were killed on the spot by a single beam of spiritual light, their flesh and blood completely obliterated bit by bit.

At the same time.

The crocodile great demons under Golden Crocodile's command also charged out from various lakes and waterways!

Thirty Foundation Establishment crocodile demons, led by the master of the Iron-Armored Crocodile lineage, stabbed directly into the flank of the flood dragon tide.

Iron-Armored Crocodiles were naturally thick-skinned; the water flood dragons' attacks on them were like mere tickles. Conversely, when the Iron-Armored Crocodiles bit down with their sharp teeth, the water flood dragons' scales shattered instantly.

The crocodiles and the dragon-pythons slaughtered each other in the river channel, and the river water was soon dyed dark red with blood...

The eastern battlefield.

The insect tide swept in overwhelmingly, blotting out more than half of the sky with its demonic cloud.

Once the buzzing drew near, it no longer felt like sandpaper rubbing against the eardrums; rather, it felt as if someone had stuffed your head into a massive bronze bell and was striking it repeatedly, shaking your Divine Soul.

The bee soldiers numbered in the tens of thousands, blotting out the sun.

Each bee soldier was the size of a washbasin, their dark blue shells shimmering with a watery sheen, and their stingers gleaming with a cold light. A single one was indeed insignificant, but thousands of them gathered together were enough to threaten Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

On the eastern defense line of the city.

Zhao Yanshan felt his throat go dry as he watched the blue-black wave sweeping toward them.

"Hold steady!"

"No one is allowed to move before the Formation is activated!"

Behind him, over a thousand Qi Refining Disciples gripped their Magical Artifacts so hard their knuckles turned white, their hearts leaping into their throats.

Soon, the insect tide advanced to three hundred zhang outside the city walls.

Two hundred zhang.

One hundred zhang.

"Activate the Formation!"

The eastern defense formation was activated, and a semi-transparent barrier of spiritual light rose from the ground, instantly standing before the city wall.

The insect tide crashed into the light barrier. The dense swarm of bee soldiers fell like flies hitting a wall, making crackling sounds. Whenever a bee struck the barrier, it would be ignited and burned by a burst of flame!

But the insect tide behind them still pressed forward wave after wave, their corpses piling up higher and higher in front of the barrier.

Living insects crawled over the dead ones, attempting to climb over the barrier.

"Cast Spells to attack!" Zhao Yanshan gave the command.

The group of low-level Qi Refining cultivators simultaneously unleashed fire-attributed Magical Artifacts and Talismans.

Flames soared into the sky, igniting the insect corpses in front of the barrier and adding fuel to the fire, burning tens of thousands of countless bees to ashes!

Yet the insect tide continued to surge, as if they could never be completely wiped out.

Zhao Yanshan gritted his teeth and glanced up at the distant sky.

Sun Chengzhu's dark golden sword light was weaving back and forth deep within the insect cloud. The thirty-six Flying Swords formed a sword Formation, taking down over a hundred bee soldiers with every sweep.

However, the Bee Queen, Mingshui, remained hidden deep within the core of the insect cloud, refusing to engage Sun Chengzhu head-on.

This insect woman was truly as slippery as an eel!
