Chapter 1303 1303: Chi Yan's Signature Move
"The master of this place probably obtained some inheritance from a human Array Master, you all must be careful!"
After rescuing everyone, Yun Xiao softly reminded them, making each person even more vigilant. They had just set foot on Impermanence Island and already had a near-death experience. Such a lesson was undoubtedly the ultimate method to heighten alertness.
At the same time, everyone's gaze swept over Yun Xiao. They thought to themselves that being trapped in such a large array and being able to break it so quickly and rescue everyone one by one, this guy's accomplishments in array formations were even more demon-like, weren't they?
"Tsk tsk, it seems we've underestimated you little human guys!"
Just as Yun Xiao was about to say something, a voice suddenly emerged from within Impermanence Island, causing their eyes to become sharp, and they all turned their gaze over.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
They saw several streaks of light rise from the depths of Impermanence Island. As these streaks approached, seeing those figures slightly strange and completely different from humans, everyone gasped in surprise.
"One Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit, eight Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits, this Impermanence Island really is impressive!"
A total of seven figures hovered in the sky, and Xue Ningxiang's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. Her murmuring voice also revealed the nine Strange Spirit cultivation levels she sensed.
Initially, at Denghai Pier, the Strange Spirit side only had one Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit and three Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits. The number now was undoubtedly more than doubled.
"The Eight Gates Water Illusion Array is a mere third-rate formation, how could it trap us?"
Although Yun Xiao's face was extremely solemn, there was not a trace of fear. His loud voice caused the leading Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit's body to tremble fiercely.
Honestly, this Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit originally had absolute confidence in the Eight Gates Water Illusion Array.
It believed that in front of such a large array, perhaps it and those Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits wouldn't even need to take action. Those human guys who dared to trespass on Impermanence Island would be naturally crushed by the large array.
Who would have thought that in just thirty minutes, those men and women trapped in the array would break free one by one? Even if the existence who set up the array took action themselves, they might not be as fast!
So this Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit's eyes were fixed on the plain-clothed young man who spoke because it knew that the reason the Eight Gates Water Illusion Array was broken so quickly was because of this inconspicuous human boy.
"The Eight Gates Water Illusion Array was just an appetizer. Next, the blood of you humans will become a feast for my king!"
After a brief shock, the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit regained its confidence. Aside from the mouse-shaped Vein Demon that reached the Heavenly Demon level, other humans were just half-step Heavenly Rank.
"Moreover, I can sense that a certain aura on your body will be greatly beneficial for my king's recovery!"
The Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit spoke with a hint of excitement. It clearly knew the state of the terrifying existence and realized that since the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array's points were being sealed one by one, it enraged that existence greatly.
As Strange Spirits of Impermanence Island, these Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits benefited from the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit. Otherwise, they couldn't have cultivated spiritual wisdom and reached their current level.
As offspring of that existence, the Strange Spirits regarded that existence as their only faith. If they could use the blood energy of humans to truly restore their king to his peak, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
"You want it, but are you capable of it?"
Hearing this, Yun Xiao sneered. Chi Yan, who could no longer hold back, leaped out. His form expanded in the air and, in an instant, turned from a tiny, palm-sized mouse into a colossal creature several meters long.
Chi Yan, previously vexed by the Dark Array, was looking for something to vent on. Seeing the Strange Spirit leader prattling incessantly, he couldn't hold back anymore.
The aura of a Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon burst out, and combined with Chi Yan's unique transformation talent, the intense aura caused those Heavenly Spirits, who were also Low-Level Silver Grade, to subconsciously step back.
"Reckless!"
Though the Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirits were alarmed by Chi Yan's violent aura, the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit leader merely let out a cold laugh.
In the Heavenly Rank, even a small realm's difference meant a vast gap in combat power. The Strange Spirit Clan's combat strength often surpassed that of their equivalent Vein Demon counterparts.
Although Chi Yan transformed, he hadn't reached the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Demon level. This realm disparity naturally gave the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit a strong sense of superiority.
"That should be a Wood Attribute Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit. In a short time, Chi Yan won't be at a disadvantage!"
Alas, the Intermediate Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit was confident, but its details were already seen through by Yun Xiao. Hence, he didn't stop Chi Yan's move because Chi Yan was indeed a genuine Low-Level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon.
Combined with some traits of the Fire Cloud Rat, when facing other attributes of intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirits, it might soon be defeated, feeling restrained and awkward. But against opponents of wood attribute strange spirits, he fights with twice the results for half the effort.
"Die!"
In the sky, the wood attribute intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit shouted violently, immediately transforming his right hand into a branch resembling dry wood, reaching out to bind Chi Yan.
The most formidable aspect of wood attribute strange spirits is their ability to transform into giant trees, using those extremely flexible branches and leaves to bind human cultivators to death.
It seems this wood attribute intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit intends to use such a method to trap Chi Yan and eventually unleash a killer move for a one-hit kill.
Although this intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit sensed Chi Yan's fire attribute aura, the gap between them is a small realm. He has reason to believe that under this binding, a small mouse demon could cause no waves.
Boom!
Yet at the next moment, when the tree trunk of this intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit just touched Chi Yan's body, a small flame abruptly spewed out from Chi Yan's mouth.
"Burning Flame!"
Yun Xiao is certainly not too unfamiliar with this fiery red flame. It's an existence comparable to the Ancestral Vein Fire before he refined the Chaos Sub-fire, able to instill fear even on the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.
Even if Chi Yan is a realm lower than that intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit, once the Burning Flame is expelled, the tree trunk quickly retracts as if sensing a hint of terror within the Burning Flame.
But Chi Yan is cunning and the heavenly spirit cannot easily avoid it. Under Chi Yan's mental control, the speed of the expelled Burning Flame suddenly increases, swiftly touching a section of the branch.
Such is the power of the Burning Flame, in just a blink, the branch is engulfed by firelight, and no matter how the heavenly spirit expert moves, it cannot be shaken off, nor extinguished.
Crack!
Seeing the wildfire continue to burn, perhaps even his own body would be incinerated, this low-level silver-grade heavenly spirit decisively cut off the arm transformed into a branch.
A spark descends, and at the right shoulder of the intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit, a new arm identical to the previous one grows, as if nothing happened.
Only the intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit knows that although it possesses the regeneration ability of a wood attribute strange spirit, the arm lost just now is a significant energy consumption.
Moreover, suffering such a small loss in a battle against a low-level silver-grade mouse demon, in front of so many strange spirit subordinates, how can he maintain his dignity?
"Hey, the flame is coming again!"
Just as the intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit's anger surged, a light laughter came from ahead, followed by a fiery red flame, brimming with blazing heat, now only a foot away.
This voice naturally came from Chi Yan. Having reached the heavenly demon level, he can already speak human words and is eagerly repeating the Burning Flame tactic after tasting its sweetness.
If at the Earth Rank Third Realm level, every time Chi Yan uses the Burning Flame, it would consume a lot of his demon meridian Qi, and he couldn't use it more than a few times.
But now breaking through to the heavenly demon level, the Burning Flame seems to have evolved another level, not only greatly enhancing its power but also avoiding previous exhaustion after several uses.
Compared to Chi Yan, even though the intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit is furious, at this moment he dares not directly confront the fiery red flame.
He knows his attributes clearly, aware that his wood attribute is thoroughly restrained by the opponent's fire attribute.
Before, this intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit had fought against fire attribute human cultivators, but even those at the mid-stage heavenly rank floating life realm with ancestral vein fire posed little threat.
"What exactly is that flame?"
The wood attribute low-level silver-grade heavenly spirit roared deeply but had to evade the powerful flame, seeing this, Yun Xiao and the others below shared a knowing smile.
"Hey, when did Chi Yan become so smart?"
Ling Wan touched his own head. Despite his simplicity, he understands Chi Yan's intentions, uttering sentiments that made the women nearby fully agree.
Previously, Chi Yan's actions were quite reckless, often needing Yun Xiao to clean up the mess, but now Chi Yan refrains from hard collisions with the intermediate silver-grade heavenly spirit.
This Burning Flame suppression tactic distinctly immobilizes this disproportionate battle, miraculously holding it in balance.
