Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

"At least!
"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the other party won't be able to escape easily!"

He paused, then added earnestly:
"Of course, the Azure Flame Divine Spider Web is a rare treasure, far more valuable than my array beads."

After this battle, Fellow Daoist Yaozhu and I will certainly do our utmost to make up for your losses. What do you think?

At this moment, Yaozhu Banzun also made a very decisive promise:
"Fellow Daoists, you can rest assured. As long as you manage to escape safely, I will do my best to compensate you for your losses. I mean no falsehood!"

Hearing this,

A flicker of pain and struggle flashed in the deep blue vertical pupils of the Half-Venerable Candle World.

The Azure Flame Spider Web is a rare treasure he painstakingly crafted using countless precious materials. It possesses immense power and endless uses.
It can be considered his most precious possession, second only to his natal magic weapon.

However, the current situation is beyond our control. The news of the death of the Xuan Turtle Clan's Nascent Soul Ancestor hangs like the Sword of Damocles over our heads. Every moment of delay increases the danger.

This method is currently the fastest and most successful way to escape.

finally,
He gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth:

"Can!"

With the agreement reached, the three semi-saints instantly displayed astonishing tacit understanding.

"Do it!"

Wu Long, the Half-Venerable, roared first, his tortoise shell behind him radiating light, and countless earth-yellow runes surged forth, transforming into streams of light that shot into the surrounding void.

They began to subtly lay the foundation for the [Spirit Suppressing Chain Array].

Yao Zhu, with her slender hands dancing, was surrounded by a dreamlike blue mist.
Countless tiny coral phantoms and jellyfish tentacles shimmered in the mist, forming a vast illusionary domain. While it wasn't expected to confuse Shargu, it could greatly disrupt his perception, creating an opportunity for Zhushi.

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Half-Venerable Candlelight, and he formed a complex hand seal with his hands.

With a low roar, a spiderweb-shaped magical artifact, shimmering with eerie green flames and seemingly gentle yet containing boundless killing intent and binding power, silently shot out from his sleeve.

The spiderweb swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a massive web that blotted out the sky.

The leaping azure flames not only radiated high temperatures, but also emitted a strange fluctuation that directly invaded the primordial spirit—

It is indeed the [Azure Flame Divine Spider Web]!
Seeing that the three not only did not flee but instead took the initiative to meet them, Shark Ancient Half-Saint was first surprised, then grinned maliciously:
"Humph!

You dream of suppressing me!

Let's see how you manage to drag this out..."

Before he could finish speaking, the enormous web of the Azure Flame Divine Spider had already descended upon them.

At the same time, thirty-six spirit orbs shimmering with an earthy yellow light appeared in the surrounding void, connecting with each other to form a huge array of light shields.

A powerful suppressive force suddenly descended, causing his body to sink abruptly.

Add to that the ever-present illusionary interference from the Half-Venerable Yaozhu...

For a time,

This powerful Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan Half-Venerable was actually temporarily trapped in place!

"Roar!

"A mere trick, expose it to me!"

Shark Ancient Half-Venerable was filled with shock and rage. He frantically swung his halberd, attacking the ever-shrinking spider web and the array's light shield. The azure flames scorched his scales, making a hissing sound that irritated him greatly.

"go!"

Seeing that their plan had succeeded, the three semi-saints, Wulong, Yaozhu, and Zhushi, did not linger in battle.
There wasn't even time to check how long they could trap Sharkgu.

They immediately transformed into three even faster streaks of light, shooting off in three different predetermined evacuation directions.

At that very moment...
The world suddenly froze.
It was as if even the flowing wind and surging waves had stopped for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a faint yet chilling snort, as if coming from the depths of the netherworld, slowly echoed over this sea area.

The voice wasn't loud, but it contained an indescribable air of authority.

It was as if it were a resonance of the rules of the entire universe.

It strikes directly into the depths of the soul of every living being.

"Trying to run now?"

The words rang out indifferently, devoid of any warmth or human emotion, yet sounded like a final judgment.

"late!"

The sound seemed to echo the voice of heaven and earth, resounding throughout the universe.

The moment the words fell, the three streaks of light that were fleeing for their lives at lightning speed in the distant void suddenly stopped.
It was as if I had crashed into an invisible barrier and was frozen in place!

Then,

Then came the intermittent roars filled with despair and resentment, as well as the frantic pleas for mercy.

"Do not--!"

"My lord, spare my life... I will..."

"I... no, I swear an oath of my soul to serve you for eternity..."

However, all the struggles and pleas were in vain.

The next moment, that indifferent voice rang out again.

It was just one word, yet it foreshadowed the final outcome.

"die."

There was no earth-shattering roar, only three muffled, soft sounds, like bubbles bursting.

boom!
Boom! !
At the distant horizon, three dazzling lights suddenly burst forth.
Like the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky, yet possessing a breathtakingly desolate beauty.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Along with the auras of those three semi-saints who had dominated the world for thousands of years, their power was completely annihilated and turned into nothingness.

So far,

The three half-saints were utterly annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed!
Just as the brilliant light at the edge of the sky illuminated the dim sea and sky, turning it a ghastly white…

A figure appeared silently.

He wore a seemingly simple black robe, and while his physique wasn't particularly imposing, he simply stood there quietly...

It seemed to become the center of the entire world.

The turbulent, shattered space around him became docile and calm.

Yes,

This powerful figure, with his hands behind his back, an indifferent expression, and eyes as calm as still water, was none other than the new patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.

Shark Minghong!
His gaze swept calmly across the area below.

There, the once highly anticipated Shark Ancient Half-Saint is trapped in a double cage formed by the raging Azure Flame Spider Web and the Spirit Suppressing Array.
It roared and attacked like a madman, but could not break free.

Centered on their battle, the void within a radius of thousands of miles had already been ravaged and shattered by various violent energies.

The spatial rifts resembled dark scars, a shocking sight.

A barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in Sha Minghong's eyes.

Immediately,

He didn't say much, but simply raised one hand and waved it lightly in the air.

A dazzling crimson light, like the waters of a bursting dam, poured out from his sleeves.

The radiance did not appear sinister; on the contrary, it carried an indescribable purity and majesty.
It seems to contain the power of the very origin of life.
It also carries the ruthlessness of deciding life and death.

A crimson glow swept across...
In an instant, they encountered the [Spirit Suppressing Chain Array] light screen that floated high in the sky, with flowing runes and radiating a powerful suppressive force.

laugh--!
puff!puff!
Without any fierce confrontation, the seemingly impenetrable array of light barriers crumbled the moment it was touched by the crimson light.

Like ice and snow under the scorching sun, it quickly melted and disintegrated.

The countless mysterious runes that flickered and moved across it gradually dimmed and shattered, emitting faint mournful cries.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the great formation covering the sea collapsed.

As the formation was broken, the backlash caused the sky-covering Azure Flame Spider Web, which was connected to the formation, to flicker violently.
Then, as if all its strength had been drained, it suddenly contracted inward.

The inspiration completely faded.

In the end, it turned into a small, tattered green net, no more than ten feet in size, and floated lightly towards the sea.

Compared to his previous arrogant and dazzling demeanor...

At this moment, it has lost all its spiritual energy, is covered with cracks, and has become a piece of junk.

The great formation was broken, the Azure Flame Spider Web was destroyed, and the figure of the Shark Ancient Half-Saint trapped within was fully revealed.

His breathing was somewhat disordered, and his clothes were torn in many places.
He looked quite disheveled.

He quickly regained his balance, stood in mid-air, facing the towering figure in the sky, bowed deeply, his tone filled with shame and awe:
"Meet the clan leader!"

"This old man... is incompetent and has disappointed the clan leader."

Upon hearing this, Sha Minghong simply waved his hand casually, his voice remaining calm and unreadable:
"okay."

His gaze seemed to be fixed on the distant depths of the void, and he said softly:

"You're in charge of cleaning up this mess."

"Yes! I will obey the clan leader's command!"

Half-Venerable Shark immediately responded.

When Shargu respectfully straightened up and looked back at the void,
Where can you find Sha Minghong now?

He vanished without a trace, just as he had come.

In its original place, only a faint ripple of space remained, slowly subsiding, proving that Shark Minghong had once descended here.

The sea breeze began to flow again, and the sound of the waves below returned to my ears.

It was as if the previous earth-shattering slaughter and powerful breakthrough were just an illusion.

Only this fragmented void,
And the lingering, terrifying energy shockwaves in the air...

It silently tells the story of what just happened.

Time slips away, bit by bit...

Like sand slipping through fingers, silent yet bearing the marks of cruelty.

This vast battlefield has long since been transformed into a gigantic grinding mill of flesh and blood.

The shouts of battle, the explosions of clashing supernatural powers, and the cries of the dying mingled together, forming a chaotic and tragic symphony.

however,
Amidst this chaos...

Some exceptionally fast streaks of light were shooting out from the core area of ​​the battlefield with a resolute attitude.

These streaks of light moved at extremely high speeds, exceeding the limits of what ordinary cultivators' divine eyes could perceive.
Often, it only takes a flash to tear through the void and disappear into the distant horizon.

Each time a streak of light disappears, it signifies that a powerful individual has escaped this hellish battlefield.

Yes,

A cultivator with such terrifying speed...
He was a half-saint among the Xuan Turtle Clan's forces.

The situation is now clear.

With the fall of the Xuan Turtle Clan's Nascent Soul Demon Lord, Sha Minghong, the patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, personally took action.
With lightning speed, they annihilated several half-saints, their powerful deterrent force sweeping across the entire battlefield like an invisible cold wave.

Staying here is not courageous, but foolish.

after all,

No one can guarantee that they won't be the next one targeted by that terrifying clan leader.

If you're unlucky...

Having encountered that god of death, his thousand years of arduous cultivation and endless path to immortality could only come to an abrupt end, with his body and soul extinguished.

Moreover, as time went on, stronger members of their own side continued to flee, while stronger members of the opposing side continued to join the extermination.
The probability of that "encounter" is rising at an alarming rate.

When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a wall collapses, everyone pushes it down.

As the semi-saint level experts of the Xuan Turtle Clan fled one after another, the balance of power on the battlefield completely shifted.

Without the support of top-tier combat power, the Xuan Turtle Clan's defensive lines began to crumble on a large scale.
The retreat spread like a plague, and there was a growing trend of total collapse.

On the edge of this vast battlefield, fierce fighting continues.

"clang!"

"Qiang!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing was incessant.

Two little demons dressed differently are joining forces to launch a fierce attack on a cultivator of the same level who is wearing black and gold armor.

Although the black-armored demon was at its last gasp, its spirits were greatly lifted by the overwhelming defeat of the Xuan Turtle Clan.

Nevertheless, he can only barely hold on with the help of his sturdy armor.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound,
The thickest breastplate on the black and gold armor, after withstanding dozens of heavy blows...

It finally shattered completely, revealing the soft armor underneath.

Among the two lesser demons who were besieging each other, the seahorse cultivator with a long, narrow face and bluish-white skin had a glint in his eyes.
He immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, suddenly opened his mouth, and let out a deep, muffled shout like thunder:

"Die to me!"

The sound was not only loud, but also contained a strange vibrational force that struck the black-armored demon's soul!

The black-armored demon, already mentally unstable, was caught off guard by the sonic wave. Its body stiffened abruptly, and its eyes instantly became empty and blank.

It was as if they had lost their self-awareness in that instant.

In that split second of distraction!
"call out--!"

A sharp, incomparably cold light, already poised to strike, shot out from the hand of another rugged-looking cultivator.

So fast it's like teleportation.

Strike straight for the exposed neck of the black-armored imp!

"Pfft!"

The dull thud of a sharp blade slicing into flesh rang out.

Before the bewilderment in the black-armored imp's eyes had faded, its head had already shot into the sky!

Hot demon blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck, staining a small patch of the sky red.

The headless corpse swayed for a moment, then fell limply from mid-air.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, your bewitching technique is truly amazing!"

The rugged-looking cultivator flashed and appeared beside the seahorse cultivator, gazing at the fallen corpse with a tone of admiration.

"To think that he could so easily bewitch a powerful cultivator at the late stage of the Demon Core realm for even a moment."

"If we can find the right opportunity, Brother Ma, your secret technique might even be able to outmaneuver a peak third-tier expert!"

Upon hearing this, the seahorse demon known as "Fellow Daoist Ma" shook his head, his narrow face showing no sign of pride.
"Fellow Daoist Niu is joking!"
My skills are mere trifles; how could they possibly be considered respectable?

This technique is much less effective for those with strong willpower.
If there are precautions, it will be even less effective.

The reason they were able to succeed just now was mainly because this Black Tiger Shark clan member had reached a point of desperation and lost his composure.

Coupled with the panic caused by the sudden attack, that's how I managed to seize the opportunity.

Speaking of which,
He paused, his tone becoming serious, and took out a slightly vibrating communication jade talisman:

"By the way, I just received an urgent message from the clan elders, instructing us to retreat immediately and not to linger in battle."

"Fellow Daoist Niu, is there any news from your clan?"
