Chapter 326 - 326: Sneak Attack
Fang Hong observed from the shadows; the power of this Falling Thunder Immortal formation was indeed impressive.
The lightning power was fierce and overbearing, and each strike caused a significant impact on the Purple Flame Serpent.
However, even so, it was probably unrealistic to directly kill the thick-skinned Purple Flame Serpent with this formation.
The blue-robed youth and the White-Robed Female Cultivator clearly knew this as well, and they immediately took out two crystal-clear Immortal Stones.
The two held the Immortal Stones in their hands, guiding the Immortal Power from the Immortal Stones to continuously flow into the blue banner, fully maintaining the operation of the Immortal formation, keeping the lightning power within the formation at its peak state.
At the same time, they each summoned a Flying Sword, conjuring hundreds of sharp sword shadows that fiercely attacked the Purple Flame Serpent within the formation like a torrential rain.
Fang Hong continued to patiently watch from the side; the Immortal formation set up by these two cultivators was indeed not weak, and the Flying Swords they used were also Immortal Artifacts of considerable quality.
With the cooperation of the Immortal formation and the Immortal Artifacts, the Purple Flame Serpent, which had initially held a slight advantage, was instantly suppressed, and the situation was reversed.
The Purple Flame Serpent was completely at a disadvantage, only able to passively defend against attacks, with no power to retaliate.
Within the Immortal formation, the Purple Flame Serpent's pained roars continuously echoed.
Upon closer inspection, many of the Purple Flame Serpent's scales had been shattered by the lightning, and its flesh was covered in numerous bloody marks.
Blood continuously flowed from the wounds, clearly indicating that it was severely injured and in a precarious situation.
Seeing the Purple Flame Serpent in this state, the two cultivators immediately showed great joy on their faces and continuously increased the output of Immortal Power.
They further strengthened the attack power of the Immortal formation, wanting to end the battle as quickly as possible and completely slay the Purple Flame Serpent.
Feeling the intense pain in its body, the Purple Flame Serpent knew it was likely doomed today; if this continued, it would eventually be slain by these two.
The Purple Flame Serpent began to frantically twist its massive body, attempting to burrow into the ground to escape, hoping that if it could get underground, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
However, the Purple Flame Serpent's thoughts had long been anticipated by the blue-robed youth.
"Want to run? Not that easy." The blue-robed youth sneered coldly, then flung a golden talisman from his sleeve.
The golden talisman exploded in the air, transforming into a sky full of golden light that showered down onto the ground like raindrops.
After the golden light landed on the ground, the soil instantly became incredibly hard, and the entire surface was solidified.
The Purple Flame Serpent's plan to escape by burrowing was completely foiled.
With no hope of escape, and its wounds growing more numerous and severe, the Purple Flame Serpent became increasingly agitated.
Finally, in desperation, the Immortal Power within the Purple Flame Serpent's body began to surge wildly, seemingly attempting to self-detonate and drag the two Cultivators to their deaths with it.
But unfortunately, the two cultivators cooperated extremely well and had long been on guard against the Purple Flame Serpent's death throes.
Seeing the abnormal surge of Immortal Power within its body, they immediately understood its intention.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two simultaneously drove the hundreds of sword shadows in mid-air, condensing them into two sharp Sword Qi, which slashed towards the Purple Flame Serpent's head.
"Pfft."
With a muffled sound, the two Sword Qi accurately struck the Purple Flame Serpent's neck, and the sharp Sword Qi instantly severed the Purple Flame Serpent's head.
The Purple Flame Serpent's head fell to the ground, and its massive body also collapsed powerlessly, completely losing all signs of life.
Only the purple flames on its body were still faintly burning, but they too gradually extinguished.
The Purple Flame Serpent was lifeless, completely dead.
The two cultivators were still very cautious, fearing it might have a hidden move, so they used their Flying Swords to strike the Purple Flame Serpent's vital points several more times, and only after confirming there was no movement did they confidently withdraw the formation they had set up earlier.
"Hehe, I thought this Purple Flame Serpent was so powerful, but it's nothing more than this."
"Even if it cultivates to Immortal Ascension, in the end, it still died under our formation and Immortal Sword." The blue-robed youth said smugly.
"Alright, don't just focus on being happy; let's quickly clean up the scene and leave here immediately."
"There are two other demon kings in the Silver Moon Mountains, and their strength is even greater than the Purple Flame Serpent's; they are not someone we can deal with. If they detect the commotion and rush over, we'll be in big trouble," the White-Robed Female Cultivator said seriously.
Upon hearing this, the blue-robed youth's smile immediately vanished, and he said solemnly, "You're right, I got carried away."
"Those two demon kings are indeed not to be trifled with; we should quickly deal with things here and leave early to be safe."
Then, the two began to quickly process the Purple Flame Serpent's corpse.
The blue-robed youth was responsible for collecting the useful materials from the Purple Flame Serpent's body.
He took out a small silver knife and cut off the Purple Flame Serpent's snakeskin. This snakeskin, refined by Immortal Power, was good materials for crafting Immortal Artifacts and could fetch a lot of Immortal Stones.
He then dug out the Purple Flame Serpent's gallbladder, which contained rich fire-attribute Immortal Power, greatly beneficial to cultivators who cultivate fire-attribute cultivation techniques.
Meanwhile, the White-Robed Female Cultivator took out a white jade bottle, softly chanting obscure incantations.
As the incantations sounded, a white light slowly rose from the mouth of the jade bottle, enveloping the Purple Flame Serpent's head.
Before long, a purple soul shadow floated out from the Purple Flame Serpent's head, which was precisely the Purple Flame Serpent's demon soul.
The Purple Flame Serpent's demon soul was still struggling and twisting, but it was firmly bound by the white light and was slowly absorbed into the jade bottle.
Soon, the White-Robed Female Cultivator successfully collected the Purple Flame Serpent's demon soul into the jade bottle.
She smiled contentedly, just about to put away the jade bottle, but at that moment, a Dragon claw arm suddenly extended from the void, piercing through her chest.
Blood instantly gushed out, staining her pure white clothes and splashing onto the surrounding ground.
"Ahhhh."
The intense pain made the White-Robed Female Cultivator let out a shrill scream, her body uncontrollably trembling, and the jade bottle in her hand fell to the ground.
The blue-robed youth was focused on processing the Purple Flame Serpent's snake bones when he heard his companion's scream.
He suddenly turned his head, only to see the tragic scene of the White-Robed Female Cultivator's chest being pierced by a Dragon claw arm.
His pupils suddenly constricted, his heart fiercely trembled, and a chill instantly spread from the soles of his feet throughout his body.
The person who launched the sneak attack was Fang Hong, who had been hidden in the dark all along.
Just now, seeing the White-Robed Female Cultivator relax her guard after collecting the demon soul, he immediately seized the opportunity, used the Void Secret Technique, silently appeared behind the White-Robed Female Cultivator, and launched a fatal blow.
"Yue'er." Seeing his companion suffer a mishap, the blue-robed youth's eyes were bloodshot, and the rage in his heart erupted, uncontrollable.
He held his Immortal Sword and fiercely slashed towards Fang Hong's Dragon claw arm, vowing to avenge his companion.
Just as the blue-robed youth's Immortal Sword was about to strike Fang Hong's arm in a critical moment, Fang Hong's expression remained unchanged, and he once again activated the Void Secret Technique.
The space around him slightly distorted, and two subtle spatial cracks appeared out of thin air.
One opened next to his arm, cleverly avoiding the Immortal Sword's attack trajectory, while the other accurately appeared next to the blue-robed youth's neck.
