Chapter 693: Chapter 658: Ascend Again_3

"I’ll draw its attention... Be sure to conceal your magic power and silhouette."

Four cultivators each performed hand seals or waved Array Flags, causing streaks of white mist to shroud their figures.

Before long, the calm surface of the Blackwater Pool suddenly started to ripple.

Wave after wave converged and burst into spray.

Whoosh!

Countless droplets of black water transformed into raindrops, resulting in a brief downpour of ’Mysterious Dark Rain’ nearby.

In the midst of the Mysterious Dark Rain, a Winged Tiger Puppet soared out, fleeing clumsily ahead.

Hiss-hiss!

From behind, demon Qi soared into the sky, gathering the dark rainwater and revealing the shadow of a serpent-like demon beast.

"It’s the Black Water Mysterious Snake, quickly set up the array!"

Mo Family Brothers shouted loudly, their hands in rapid motion as they chanted, pouring magic power frantically into the Array Flags before them.

"It seems there are quite a number of demon beasts within this Blackwater Pool..."

Immortal Xie was slightly disappointed. After all, the value of the Black Water Mysterious Snake paled in comparison to a five-hundred-year-old Dragon Newt, but she still took charge of the array.

Suddenly, columns of mist rose up, forming a barrier of fog that blocked the escape route of the Black Water Mysterious Snake.

"Hiss-hiss!"

The thick-bodied snake continuously flicked its tongue. Suddenly, the creature reared its head and spewed out a ball of pitch-black venom.

Sizzling!

The fog barrier corroded immediately, creating a large hole, but behind the hole, another barrier of fog appeared...

The Black Water Mysterious Snake was taken aback, attempting to retreat back into the Blackwater Pool.

But by now, the area was enveloped by the array, with mist in every direction, and the creature had lost its sense of direction in the Blackwater Pool.

"Everyone, attack together!"

Immortal Xie gave a faint smile and took out a jade ring-like artifact, tossing it lightly into the air.

The jade ring flew up, transforming into a luminous glow, much like a full moon.

Elder Wang caught on and recalled the Winged Tiger Puppet, then guided a Black Iron Sword, casting a Magic Spell upon it.

The Black Iron Sword suddenly expanded and grew huge... In an instant, it turned into a blade over thirty feet long with a shining surface and an exceedingly sharp edge.

Mo Family Brothers exchanged a glance before each hurled a short halberd.

These two halberds seemed complementary, their combined power among the greatest of all the artifacts present.

Boom!

The jade ring was the first to strike, hitting the Black Water Mysterious Snake hard on the top of its head, causing a shallow dent on its skull.

Next came the Black Iron Sword, slashing a deep bone-revealing wound on the snake’s body.

Thud-thud!

Just as the Black Water Mysterious Snake went into a frenzy, the two halberds pierced into its body.

Strangely enough, the once wildly ferocious Black Water Mysterious Snake became significantly subdued after the two halberds penetrated its flesh, and its demon Qi gradually began to dissipate.

"I had long heard that the Mo Family Brothers possess a pair of ’Demon-Suppressing Halberds,’ which have a unique mysterious effect on the Black Water Demon Beasts. Seeing them today, they certainly live up to their reputation!"

"I was told these treasures have some connection to the overseas Immortal Mansion..." mentioned Elder Wang appreciatively.

The elder of the Mo Family changed his expression and forced a laugh, "Actually, there is no such correlation. It’s just a rumor that has been twisted over time... These two halberds are indeed our family’s heirloom."

"I see," Elder Wang nodded, still uncertain whether to believe it.

"Well now, let’s kill this demon beast and harvest its materials, then we can lure other Black Water Demon Beasts... With this pair of artifacts, I am even more confident in our upcoming actions," Immortal Xie said with a light smile.

Whoosh!

It was at that moment that a whirlpool suddenly emerged in the Blackwater Pool.

From the dark, unfathomable depths, a pair of huge vertical pupils snapped open, filled with a cold and emotionless gaze.

Whoosh!

A burst of purple light surged from the depths, slamming heavily against the Octal Wilderness Maze Array.

The four Core Formation cultivators’ expressions changed in an instant, and Immortal Xie even sprayed out a mouthful of Essence Blood, staining her white front scarlet.

"Nascent Soul... a fourth-tier Monster Clan?"

She cried out in shock, truly alarmed.

As the mist dispersed, the enfeebled Black Water Mysterious Snake, as if sensing something, let out a mournful cry towards the Blackwater Pool.

Whoosh!

The water of the pool parted, revealing a colossal Black Water Mysterious Snake hundreds of feet in length.

Its body was as thick as a house, its scales shimmered with a purple-black hue, and its vertical pupils were full of mercilessness.

"A fourth-tier Black Water Mysterious Snake?!"

The Mo Family Brothers exclaimed in horror, taking their artifacts back. Their Escape Lights merged into one, as they employed a secret technique to transform into a stunning crane, attempting to flee.

As the fourth-tier Black Water Mysterious Snake looked at its dying kin, it suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a black halo of light appeared.

This halo of light, coming last, managed to block the Mo Family Brothers’ Escape Light.

"We’re going all in!"

The Mo Family Brothers locked eyes, each forming hand seals and spewing a stream of Essence Blood onto the halberds.

The pair of halberds instantly lit up with a layer of scarlet, suddenly blazing brightly and turned into two beams of light, slashing at the black halo.

However, the black halo merely wobbled before stabilizing again.

Not only that, but it also expanded rapidly, enveloping the Mo Family Brothers within it.

In just a moment, a loud boom came from within, and then silence.

As the halo dissipated, only those two halberds remained, their brilliance now significantly dimmed.

"The Mo Family Brothers have actually..."

Elder Wang was filled with despair upon witnessing this scene.

Among the four Core Formation cultivators, in terms of strength, the Mo Family Brothers working together were unmatched; even if he teamed up with Immortal Xie, they were no match for them.

Now, with just a single strike, this fourth-tier demon beast had extinguished the lives of the Mo Family Brothers.

If it were him and Immortal Xie, their fate would not be much better.

"Hiss-hiss..."

The fourth-tier Black Water Mysterious Snake flicked its forked tongue, its eyes revealing a mocking color almost human-like as it was about to emit a black light.
