Chapter 390 Demon Slayer Vanguard - Wang Manzi

A life-or-death situation?

Wang Yu glanced subtly at the cloud-piercing warship high in the distance, and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Old Demon, what's there to say between us? Evil spirits and heretics deserve to be killed by everyone!"

"—Okay, okay."

In the eyes of the Cloud Smoke Ancestor, Wang Yu was a new face.

Moreover, his cultivation level was much lower than his, clearly indicating that he had recently broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He was confident that he could defeat Wang Yu, but the Nascent Soul of the woman in green was on him.

Ten days ago.

On his way to Qifeng Pass, he suddenly sensed the aura of a fellow Nascent Soul cultivator, who was extremely close by.

Upon closer inspection, I was overjoyed.

Thank God for the gift!

Therefore, Yunyan, like many other demonic cultivators, seized Qingyi on the spot before she could speak, and then used a secret technique of divine sense to put her into a deep sleep before arriving at Qifeng Pass.

If we don't fight today, and he's given some time to devour the Nascent Soul of his own kind, he's absolutely confident he can break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

therefore.

Ancestor Yunyan did not want to engage in a life-or-death battle with Wang Yu, and repeatedly backed down, only thinking of pretending to fight a hoodlum for a while, but it turned out that the other party was a fool.

"snort!"

"I think you've made your brain stupid from practicing body cultivation. How much benefit did that red-faced thunder god give you? Was it worth it?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

That's all.

Wang Yu leaped forward and delivered a horizontal kick, unleashing a visible shockwave that swept across the area. The sharp, piercing explosion as the air was torn apart was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Ancestor Yunyan retreated again.

The natal magic weapon, the Thousand Transformations Heavenly Net Smoke, extends countless smoke-like tentacles, merging to form an eggshell-shaped shield. When the two come into contact...

Another loud bang.

The damage wasn't significant, but the commotion was considerable, frequently attracting attention.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Ancestor Yunyan crawled out of the giant pit in the ground covered in dust, his hands forming hand seals, fully utilizing the ever-changing characteristics of Tianluoyan.

A cloud of smoke split into seven cloud beasts, which tightly surrounded Wang Yu and instantly formed a formation. The Cloud Smoke Ancestor's side job was a formation master.

Using this special natal magic weapon to set up an array is also an extension and expansion of his array-making skills.

"Seven Stars Mystery Formation: Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation!"

Feng Shui techniques + formations.

Wang Yu's expression was solemn. As a feng shui master, an expert's skill is immediately apparent. The pressure brought by Ancestor Yunyan's method was much greater than that of Qingyi.

And indeed, that's how it felt; this old ghost was much more powerful than Qingyi.

A thought crossed my mind.

The feng shui plate stored in the sea of ​​qi flew out. As a feng shui master's specialty, Wang Yu countered each move and set up the Seven Stars Wonder Formation simply and easily.

It's also relatively easy to reverse.

In the instant the orientation reversed, the deadlock of the Big Dipper turned into a life-giving situation of the Southern Dipper, which meant that the Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation also had a flaw, under the stimulation of the Silver Blood Divine Power.

Wang Yu suddenly burst out of the formation shrouded in clouds and mist.

The attacks of those cloud beasts were all in vain. Ancestor Yunyan was even more shocked, never expecting that this stubborn barbarian was also a feng shui master.

What's the difference between this and Zhang Fei embroidering?!

The original plan was to finish off Wang Yu in one fell swoop, but the unexpected fusion turned out to be a weakness.

but.

"Do you think my mastery of formations is limited to this?!"

Wang Yu can counterattack, and he can also adapt to the actual situation. It's just a matter of who has a higher level of skill. Simple feng shui techniques are actually not as down-to-earth as array formations.

The essence of extraordinary techniques lies in the word "extraordinary".

Just as Wang Yu broke out of the formation, his vision blurred, and the world seemed to reverse as if in a mirror image, and he was back inside the formation.

This is a rather advanced secret technique in Feng Shui.

It's called—The Shift of Heaven and Earth!

The space itself remains unchanged, but the orientation of the world's layout has been forcibly reversed, turning out into in and in into out.

In just a few breaths, the clash between the two reached its peak on a mental level. Wang Yu was fully aware of the situation, but his mastery of the "Earth Mother Scripture" was only at a minor level.

If it really comes down to a fight, he is no match for an old fox like Ancestor Yunyan. He has used the strategy of attacking unexpectedly once, and he will definitely be on guard. He might as well break the deadlock with force!

This misty formation was perfect for him to use some underhanded methods.

In the blink of an eye.

The Demonic Dragon Armor, which had just been upgraded a few days ago, emerged from his body and instantly covered him completely. The ferocious and terrifying dragon armor was stained with a heavy aura of malevolence.

The effects of a fourth-tier low-grade bloodline artifact are simple and direct: in addition to defense, it enhances his physical body, amplifies the range of his power field, and strengthens his silver blood divine power.

Such things can significantly boost Wang Yu's combat power.

Divine power activated.

Wang Yu stomped his foot on the ground, and instantly a towering cloud of dust erupted, clashing with the Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation. The area within dozens of miles was under the influence of the force field.

The entire formation was enveloped by the field, and the earth shattered inch by inch.

If one could look down from above, one would see that Wang Yu's stomp was like an invisible giant delivering a powerful kick to the formation.

The effect of pure force pressure is almost the same as that of gravity, as if carrying several mountains on their backs, and the seven lifelike cloud beasts were hit by this attack at the same time.

She lay prone on the ground, and Yunyan's natal magic weapon was compressed into a thin layer of white mist that adhered tightly to the ground.

There is no better way to overcome skill with force!

Not far away, Ancestor Yunyan, hiding inside the cloud beast, wanted to take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Wang Yu, but he was also crushed by the power field of the Silver Blood Divine Force.

His face immediately turned very ugly.

He was already considering whether to focus on restraint; a mere body cultivator was definitely not as fast as him...

"—Boom!"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Ancestor Yunyan flew backward like a ball. As long as there was a place to borrow force, Wang Yu's speed was so fast that he could not be seen.

With the physique of a fourth-level body cultivator, one can even borrow strength by stepping on the air!

Having honed his skills to the level of Wang Yu, a body cultivator has become quite formidable, far removed from his former predicament.

A fluctuation in consciousness.

The soul-destroying death beam shot out, and with the enhancement of divine sense comparable to the mid-stage of the fourth rank, Ancestor Yunyan had no time to react before being struck by the gray beam.

His body froze instantly.

--call out!

Wang Yu's afterimage vanished, and his true form appeared beside Ancestor Yunyan, where a brutal beating of an elderly person took place.

Without the natal magic weapon, there is no magic weapon to automatically protect it.

Only the old ancestor Yunyan, who was being beaten, knew how heavy Wang Yu's punch was. In fact, he did not explode into a bloody mist with the first punch, and his physical strength had exceeded Wang Yu's expectations.

As the Soul-Shaking Effect of the Death Beam wore off, a large number of Lesser Asura Killing Fist imprints were mixed in with the densely packed fists, and Ancestor Yunyan felt numb all over.

My soul was also invaded, and I cried out in agony.

Multiple restrictions combined with a ferocious attack caused the offense and defense to shift in just three breaths, culminating in Wang Yu's final, powerful kick.

The tattered and barely recognizable Yunyan Ancestor plunged headfirst into the depths of the earth, his bones and muscles shattered, and his internal organs turned into a bloody mess.

If it weren't for the powerful vitality of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have died a violent death long ago.

Compared to Qingyi.

Perhaps due to his trust in and practicality of his natal magic weapon, the Ever-Changing Heavenly Net Smoke, Ancestor Yunyan became so accustomed to using it that he didn't prepare any protective measures.

It was a careless mistake; otherwise, this physical body could still be used to some extent, and now the victory is completely assured.

Wang Yu's physical body remained still, but a massive amount of divine consciousness flowed continuously into the earth, where the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet, carrying the Glazed Ice Heart Tower, waited patiently for its prey.

The technique of teleporting a Nascent Soul is truly troublesome.

The best way to solve this problem once and for all is to master a spatial sealing technique. This technique involves space and has high strategic value, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot learn it.

If he were still in the Holy Sect, he could probably find a way to get one. It's all that damned Nine Evil Sword Lord's fault for making another note of it in his little notebook.

Deep underground.

After being struck by the Soul-Destroying Death Ray, Yunyan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the situation was very bad, and indeed it was.

His body has been in use for 1,200 years.

It's ruined!

This body, almost mashed into mincemeat, has lost all value except for its essence as a fourth-order life form.

It was at this moment that he decided to abandon his original physical body. After taking a final kick, Yunyan's nascent soul immediately escaped from his body.

During this process, he also remembered to take down the storage ring.

However.

It was precisely this greed that made it too late for him to use the teleportation technique again, as the eerie figure carrying the aura of the underworld emerged from the deeper underground at some unknown time.

The black, glass-like ice tower spun and took him inside.

The sealing effect has taken effect.

Teleport? Teleport my foot! The old Qingyi could run away because she used the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique much earlier. If she were really captured in the tower, even ten lives wouldn't be enough.

After retrieving the corpse and the nascent soul, Wang Yu's true form landed on the ground, carefully collecting the puppet and magic weapon.

As demonic energy was injected, divine sense probed.

Inside the Glazed Pagoda.

The nascent soul of the Cloud Mist Ancestor was firmly bound by countless black ice chains emerging from the tower walls. His small face was filled with fear and regret as he shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist!!"

"Please spare me. The Feng Clan of Yougu still has a lot of wealth hidden in various parts of Chiyuan, and there is also a secret treasure trove of the Feng Clan in the Duanjie Mountains."

"As long as you are willing to spare my Nascent Soul, everything is negotiable."

I listened quietly for a while.

Wang Yu considered it for a moment, then injected more demonic energy, completely turning the Nascent Soul of Ancestor Yunyan into a piece of black ice, before he felt slightly relieved.

Unless the occasion is inappropriate, one should at least perform a soul search.

Strictly speaking...

This was the first time he had killed a Nascent Soul cultivator, especially such an old and experienced one, which proved that his combat strength was indeed very close to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

It might even have already reached that level.

"The path of a body cultivator is indeed formidable!"

According to records, the fifth-tier body refiner is the limit of the Ice Prison Realm, and only a handful of them have appeared in history. The domineering effect of the Silver Blood Divine Power is something only those who have used it know.

He was quite satisfied. If he could advance to an even higher realm of divine power, he might have a greater advantage among those in the same realm.

"Waaah~~"

Transporting goods.

As if a deep, ancient horn sounded, Wang Yu immediately realized it was time to retreat.

Just right.

…………

…………

On the cloud-piercing warship.

Yang Lei, Fen Xin, Zi Dian, and Lei Yao were sitting in chairs with a conference table in front of them.

Zi Dian's face was pale, and a jet-black crack spread from his forehead to his neck. The aura of the Great Black Heaven Talisman on it was very strong, which caused the wound to be slow to heal.

The other three remained the same as before, and they were all somewhat depressed as they thought about the price they had paid for this strong attack on Qifeng Pass.

It's normal to not score; scoring is a pleasant surprise.

Therefore, I was only slightly depressed.

"Uncle Li, Wang..."

Just as Lei Yao was about to ask about Wang Yu's situation, her vision blurred, and a light blue aurora escape technique flashed, revealing Wang Yu standing there.

He flicked his right hand.

The mangled corpse of the Cloud Mist Ancestor was tossed onto the conference table, and he said with a smile, "Gentlemen, what do you think?"

Yang Lei Zhenjun suddenly stood up, and exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the corpse of the Old Demon Yunyan! Where is his Nascent Soul?"

Wang Yu shrugged and sighed.

"He got away, but with such severe injuries, even if he possesses another body, he won't be able to recover to his full strength in a short time."

The nascent soul of an old demon holds too many secrets.

Its strategic significance is even greater.

Numerous pieces of highly timely intelligence can play a crucial role in the course of battle and are of great value.

Moreover, there was also the nascent soul of the one in green robes. He had already sensed its presence. This was a buy-one-get-one-free deal, returning what was originally his.

The reason I'm not saying anything now is because I don't trust these people.

If one becomes greedy, or tries to get rid of the past under some grand principle, giving it away might feel like a waste, while not giving it away could easily create rifts and suspicion.

I'd rather not say anything.

Given Yang Lei Zhenjun's generous nature, if the price he offers is too high, he might actually sell it. The exact situation of Yunyan and Qingyi remains to be confirmed.

He couldn't risk selling it by exposing himself.

"That's true."

"To cause Qifeng Pass to lose a Nascent Soul cultivator is already a great achievement."

After the initial surprise, Yang Lei pondered and said...

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wang would be willing to take on the position of Demon-Slaying General? The army is in dire need of a strongman like you to lead the troops."

Demon-Slaying General...

Wang Yu's lips twitched, and his eyes inadvertently met Lei Yao's. She was also covering her mouth and chuckling. The position was quite ironic.

Could you elaborate?

"Can."

In general, the Demon-Slaying General has a Demon-Slaying Army under his command, consisting of about three hundred elites, all of whom are top-notch in combat strength within their respective realms.

Their battlefield missions are mostly to capture enemy generals and flags, and to eliminate any outstanding enemy figures, nipping the villains in the bud.

During wartime.

The righteous path uses battle merit data for unified recording, and will open the Taihu Treasure Vault, including the Sword Sect, for people all over the world to exchange, and even high-grade Core Formation spiritual items are available.

But living in a highly competitive environment for spiritual practice.

Taihu cultivators are most susceptible to the allure of resources, especially rare breakthrough items.

The Demon-Slaying General distributes 3,000 battle merits every month.

Destroying the physical body of the Cloud Smoke Demon earned Wang Yu a merit, a reward of 100,000 battle merits. True Monarch Yang Lei also gave him a scroll listing treasures, telling him to take his time to look through it.

"Wait a minute."

Having pledged his allegiance, he is now granted an important position.

It was clear that Wang Yu had successfully gained Yang Lei's trust, which was a good sign. But before he could unroll the scroll, Zi Dian suddenly spoke.

His eyes revealed a deep distrust.

“Senior Yang Lei, how can such an important position as the Demon-Slaying General be handed over to an outsider of unknown origin? I disagree.”

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow, realizing the crux of the problem.

"You want it?"

"Hey, no way!"
