Chapter 318: 231 Hundred Eyes Cicada Achieves Merit_1

The White Cloud Mountains are located in the northwest of Wei Country, stretching tens of thousands of miles.

A blue escape light appeared in the distant sky and stopped with a flicker.

As the escape light converged, it revealed a flying boat shimmering with blue light, with Shen Long and the others standing on it, each with a different expression.

"At our pace, we shouldn’t need seven days to reach Refuse Barbarian City,"

said Xu Yang.

Considering the Barbarian Cultivators hiding in the shadows, they took a detour instead of the shortest path for safety.

"Since we left the headquarters, we’ve been on the move constantly. Shall we rest for a bit before continuing?"

suggested Chen Tianxue.

"There’s no need, we’ve already wasted time by taking a detour. Let’s rest when we get to Refuse Barbarian City,"

Shen Long replied.

It would be a relief to arrive at Refuse Barbarian City earlier.

He cast a spell, and the blue flying boat soared forward.

After the blue flying boat had covered more than ten miles, a deafening roar of a tiger resounded, and dozens of gigantic fireballs flew from the ground, heading straight for them.

"Not good, enemy attack."

Chen Tianxue’s complexion changed, and with a slap on the Spirit Beast bag at her waist, a streak of white light flew out and landed in mid-air, revealing an enormous white ape with bared teeth and snow-white eyes.

As soon as the white giant ape appeared, it issued an angry roar, and a wave of white sound rolled out, smashing the incoming gigantic fireballs.

A huge red tiger paw materialized out of the void fluctuations above the Seacrossing Boat, heading straight for Shen Long’s head.

Shen Long’s right hand radiated with red light, turning into a red dragon claw that easily shattered the red tiger paw.

A hundred and eight streaks of red light soared into the sky, heading towards the high altitude.

Just as Shen Long was about to steer the Seacrossing Boat to dodge, a jarring insect chirping sounded, causing him to feel dizzy and disoriented.

"Divine Sense Attack!"

Shen Long furrowed his brow.

After years of cultivation, this was the first time he encountered an enemy who possessed a Divine Sense Attack.

He took out a Talisman glistening with golden light, a third-tier Jinhua Talisman, which he had traded with a cultivator from Heaven Rune Sect in his early years and could weaken Divine Sense Attacks.

He slapped the Jinhua Talisman onto his body, and with a flash of golden light, he was enveloped by a shimmering golden protection.

Seizing the moment, the hundred and eight streaks of red light reached the high altitude, converging into a massive red light screen that appeared and covered a fifty-mile radius.

The red light screen bore the pattern of three golden suns, a third-tier grand array, the Three Suns Demon Extermination Formation!

Outside the Formation, six Barbarian Cultivators, five men and one woman, stood in an open area, each holding a red Array Plate in their hands.

"We’ve finally laid ambush for a transport team. Activate the array and annihilate them,"

a chubby red-robed elder commanded as he input several spells into the Array Plate.

The other five Barbarian Cultivators also activated the array to attack Shen Long and his companions.

Within the red light screen, a vast amount of red light surged in the void, quickly turning into several hundred huge red blades, each about ten feet long.

The several hundred red blades floated mid-air, plunging towards Shen Long and the others like meteors.

Chen Tianxue’s body shone with Spiritual Light, merging with the white giant ape. The aura of the white giant ape soared, rapidly advancing to the late stage of level three.

The white giant ape thumped its chest with its arms and let out an angry beast roar, spewing forth a white sonic wave to meet the incoming red blades, while Xu Yang and the others fended off the red blades.

Shen Long released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes emitted a blinding golden light as it searched for the array’s eye.

After a while, the Hundred Eyes Cicada uttered a sharp cicada cry.

Shen Long’s lips moved slightly as he brought out the Leading Thunder Pearl and fed a spell into it, and the sky roared with the sound of thunder. A silver lightning column with a diameter of about ten feet tore through the skies and struck a certain mountain peak.

Thunderous booms resonated, and the mountain peak was submerged in silver lightning, as dust and smoke filled the air.

A golden spear wrapped in golden flames shot forth, entering the midst of the silver lightning, and that was not all, Xu Yang and the white giant ape launched their attacks on the silver lightning.

Shen Long put on the Ice Flood Dragon Gauntlets and threw a punch. A giant white fist flew out, plunging into the silver lightning.

A massive explosion echoed, and the ground shook, leaving large cracks on the surface.

Outside the red light screen, the Array Plate in the hands of the red-robed elder and the other five shattered into pieces.

"The main array’s eye has been destroyed; how did they find the main array’s eye so quickly!"

the red-robed elder exclaimed in shock.

The main Array Plate was a Dharma Treasure, serving as the primary focus of the formation. If the secondary Array Plates were destroyed, at most it would weaken the power of the Formation. But if the main Array Plate was broken, the opponent would be directly freed from the trap.

"Hmph, even without the formation, we would still be able to annihilate them,"

declared a burly man with curly whiskers, unconcerned.

Setting up an Array to ambush Human Cultivators was more foolproof, but even without the Array, they had six cultivators at the Core Formation stage. Their opponents only had three, so they were not afraid.

A deafening roar of a dragon’s cry resonated through the air, and a huge White Flood Dragon appeared in midair, its eyes gleaming with a cold light.

"A third-rank Flood Dragon!"

the red-robed elder exclaimed, his eyes full of terror.

They were physically strong, but there was still a considerable gap compared to a third-rank Flood Dragon.

A multitude of white snowflakes drifted down from the sky, rapidly reducing the temperature.

A cold wind blew past, turning the white snowflakes into a giant white blade about three meters long. The dense blades of snow flew straight towards the red-robed elder and his party.

A slender woman in a blue dress spurred her spell, and a beam of cyan light shone from her chest, manifesting the huge ethereal figure of a cyan pigeon above her head in the void.

With a change in her spell, the pigeon’s wings lightly flapped, generating a towering cyan tornado over a hundred meters tall that swept out to meet the incoming white giant blades.

The dense white blades shattered the cyan tornado, but the red-robed elder summoned a red shield to block the incoming white ice blades.

One of the white ice blades shone with a blinding white light, and an Ice Flood Dragon appeared. It opened its mouth to emit a white light that struck the red shield, freezing it instantly. The dragon’s right paw then fiercely slammed down, shattering the red shield.

The red-robed elder and his group were filled with horror. Just as they were about to dodge, a piercing scream rang out, and they suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

The Ice Flood Dragon swung its right claw at the woman in the blue dress, easily piercing through her protective spirit light and crushing her head. With a sweep of its tail, it struck the curly-whiskered man’s head, causing blood to flow.

Simultaneously, a deafening peal of thunder came from the sky, as thick silver lightning bolts cleaved the heavens, striking down towards the four people in red robes.

The four were engulfed in the silver lightning, and soon after, a series of mournful screams could faintly be heard.

A golden spear flew forth, piercing through a mass of silver lightning, and directly penetrated it.

A loud roar of a beast followed, as a dazzling red light flared up, dispersing the lightning and revealing the figure of the red-robed elder, looking dishevelled, with the ethereal figure of a red giant wolf hovering above his head in the void.

As another golden spear flew towards him, the red-robed elder quickly slapped the white Spirit Beast bag at his waist, and a giant white centipede with four wings on its back flew out.

Upon revealing itself, the white centipede spat out a stream of white rosy light, striking the golden spear.

The golden spear froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, but soon the layer of ice melted, and the spear was enveloped in a golden flame.

A thick silver lightning bolt struck the white centipede, engulfing its body in silver light. As the golden spear shot forth, penetrating the silver lightning, the white centipede fell down with a bloody hole in its head, lifeless.

The golden spear flew toward the giant red wolf projection, which spat out a stream of red flames onto the spear, but the golden spear remained unharmed.

A gust of wind swept by, and Shen Long appeared behind the red-robed elder without any warning.

Shen Long had a pair of red wings on his back and wore the Ice Flood Dragon Gauntlets on his hands. He swung his right fist and smashed it towards the red-robed elder, who reacted swiftly, his right fist glowing brightly as he met the attack.

With a scream, the red-robed elder was sent flying backward. Before he could land, a thick beam of white light shot towards him, striking him and rapidly encasing his body in ice, turning him into an ice sculpture.

A golden staff flew forth, smashing the ice sculpture to pieces.

The other two cultivators at the Core Formation stage fled in different directions at high speeds.

Shen Long pinched a spell, and the Leading Thunder Pearl flashed with a blinding silver light. A deafening thunder resounded from the sky, as two thick silver columns of lightning ripped through the heaven and struck down at the two fleeing Core Formation cultivators.

At the same moment, the Iron Tail Scorpion let out a sharp, piercing cry, slowing down the two Core Formation cultivators, who were then hit by the silver columns of lightning.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Yang and the Giant Ape both launched attacks on the two Core Formation cultivators.

The two cultivators were also annihilated, and the six invading Core Formation monks were all killed.

Xu Yang and the others were thrilled. They had been ambushed and trapped by the enemy’s formation, thinking that they were doomed, but Shen Long quickly found the main Array Plate and released a third-rank Flood Dragon, easily wiping out the six Core Formation monks.

Shen Long had slain five Core Formation monks. Their belongings were his to keep, and he would also receive a large amount of Kind Attribute points.

"Junior Brother Shen, you actually raised a third-rank Ice Flood Dragon,"

Xu Yang said with envy.

"Junior Brother Shen also raised a third-rank Hundred Eyes Cicada. If it weren’t for that, we might have met our demise today,"

Chen Tianxue marveled, her face full of envy.

They thought Shen Long’s most formidable Spirit Insects were the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Gold-Winged Fire Ant, but they hadn’t expected him to have a third-rank Hundred Eyes Cicada and a third-rank Ice Flood Dragon as well.

"Let’s hurry to Refuse Barbarian City!"

Shen Long suggested, putting away the Ice Flood Dragon and Iron Tail Scorpion back into the Spirit Beast bag.

He pinched a spell, and the Seacrossing Boat shone with a dazzling blue light, flying towards the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.
