334: Demon Slayer and Thunder Bamboo

Mu Feng hadn't expected that the Shaped Bamboo Demon, even trapped within the Qing Luo Sword Formation, would still have enough power to attack him.

Gazing at the surging, violent lightning.

Mu Feng didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

He also possessed a Tianlei Bamboo Magic Treasure, so he knew the astonishing power of this lightning.

However, he wasn't particularly worried.

The Ugly Woman had been relying on physical attacks, so his Treasure Dropping Flower Basket had been unusable.

Now, he finally saw his opponent use a Spell attack.

Naturally, he immediately pulled out the Flower Basket.

After inputting his Magic Power, the mouth of the Flower Basket glowed brightly.

The violent lightning, upon touching the yellow glow, was as if it had met its nemesis.

It was instantly frozen in mid-air.

Although it wasn't absorbed by the glow like ordinary Spells.

It still lost its effectiveness.

"Impossible, what kind of Magic Treasure is this? It can actually neutralize Evil-warding Divine Lightning!"

The Ugly Woman hadn't expected the lightning attack released by the Tianlei Bamboo to be so easily countered by Mu Feng.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

This purple lightning bamboo was of the same Origin as her main body.

It had accompanied her ever since she became a demon.

Relying on this lightning bamboo, she didn't know how many of her kind she had annihilated.

Furthermore, relying on the lightning bamboo's protection, she had successfully endured the bombardment of the Transformation Lightning.

In her opinion, this lightning bamboo should be an invincible existence.

Bringing it out was a decisive move.

Yet, she hadn't expected to fail today.

And it was against a human Cultivator in the Core Formation Middle Stage, whom she most looked down upon.

How could she not be astonished by this?

"Evil-warding Divine Lightning? Just purple lightning dares to call itself Evil-warding Divine Lightning."

Mu Feng scoffed with a smile.

Only lightning released by a Golden Thunder Bamboo over ten thousand years old could be called Evil-warding Divine Lightning.

Although this purple lightning's power was decent.

It was far inferior compared to Evil-warding Divine Lightning.

"Hmph!"

"Even if it's not Evil-warding Divine Lightning, this old woman can still deal with you!"

With Mu Feng exposing her bluff.

The Ugly Woman let out a cold snort.

She pulled out a verdant green bamboo from her person, which appeared in her hand.

Then, with a fierce flick, the verdant green bamboo transformed into countless sharp blades, slashing towards Mu Feng's head.

"Deal with me?"

"You'd better take care of yourself first!"

However, before her bamboo blades could emerge.

Mu Feng first controlled the Sword Formation to shatter the purple lightning released by the old woman.

Immediately, it continued to assault her.

After all, the opponent was an old monster who had lived for many years.

Mu Feng dared not be careless and let the opponent attack again.

Who knew if the opponent would pull out some strange things.

It wouldn't be good if he overturned the cart later.

Golden light flickered.

Countless sword threads scraped towards the old woman's body.

Seeing this.

The Ugly Woman then gave up on attacking Mu Feng, releasing a dark green protective shield that guarded her body.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

That protective shield, made of unknown Materials, possessed astonishing defensive power.

The golden sword threads merely scratched it, like a mere massage.

They left no trace whatsoever.

Seeing the protection was effective.

The old woman couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

And began to mock Mu Feng.

"I thought this Sword Formation had something special about it, but it turns out to be just a silver spearhead, good-looking but useless!"

"Good-looking but useless?"

Mu Feng's lips curled up.

"Then let me give you something big!"

With that said.

The Magic Incantation in his hand changed.

The sword threads within the Sword Formation suddenly vanished.

Immediately, countless massive Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword main bodies appeared!

The Major Achievement Qing Luo Sword Formation had two attack methods.

One was the previous sword thread attack.

That was very effective for single-target attacks.

But it was easily defended against by shields and the like.

Although, using sword threads could still wear down the opponent.

However, that would consume too much True Qi.

It wasn't particularly cost-effective.

The other was the current Giant Sword Technique attack.

This move was best for breaking through defenses.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

As soon as the giant swords emerged.

They fell like stone tablets onto the old woman's head.

The sharp sword tips, carrying a fierce impact, continuously bombarded the green light shield.

In just a few seconds.

The green light shield, which the previous sword threads couldn't shake, directly shattered.

Turning into an illusion.

The old woman's face turned ashen.

She never expected this Sword Formation to have two forms.

With the light shield broken.

Without protection, her body was quickly battered beyond recognition by the giant swords.

However, her main body was unknown, and it was extremely tough.

Although she was struck by multiple slashes.

It did not cause fatal damage.

The Ugly Woman calmly dodged the giant sword attacks, but her heart grew more and more alarmed as she fought.

The power of this Sword Formation was somewhat beyond her imagination.

Because she found that the giant swords, after falling for a while, not only didn't decrease in number of attacks.

Instead, they became more and more numerous.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to cope now.

Moreover, the Sword Formation seemed to have a target-locking function; every time she wanted to rush out.

Those Sword Formations would also shift with her.

Keeping her constantly at the center of the Formation.

Such a bizarre Sword Formation gave her a headache.

But she had already boasted.

No matter how difficult, she had to grit her teeth and endure.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The sword rain continued, growing faster and more numerous.

After multiple strikes, the old woman's body had begun to show wounds.

Furthermore, she also discovered.

Those giant swords seemed to carry mental attacks.

Several times, she could have dodged.

But for some unknown reason, her body just wouldn't move.

At first, she thought it was her own problem.

Later, she realized that the problem lay with the giant swords hovering above her head.

"What kind of Magic Treasure is this? It even has mental attacks?!"

The old woman was horrified.

"Hmph, do you think I'll tell you?"

Mu Feng sneered.

Although he currently held the upper hand, he couldn't let his guard down until he had completely won.

He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal his trump cards to the opponent.

Instead, he seized the opportunity while the opponent was speaking, and once again exerted force, unleashing a barrage of giant swords upon her.

Making the old woman cry out in distress.

However, the old woman was indeed a Nascent Soul Old Monster; her body was truly resilient.

The attack frequency of the seventy-two Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords had already reached fifty-six per second.

Yet, she still hadn't revealed any major flaws.

Her calm demeanor made Mu Feng somewhat lose confidence.

He felt that even if the Sword Formation was fully unleashed to its 72x72 complete attack.

It might not necessarily be able to take her down.

This old woman was the most troublesome opponent Mu Feng had encountered since reaching Core Formation.

The previous Nascent Soul Giant Crab seemed insignificant in front of her.

However.

What Mu Feng didn't know was that the old woman's shock was far greater than his.

She, a Nascent Soul Old Monster who had Cultivated for countless years.

Was actually being beaten without any ability to retaliate by a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator.

Moreover, if she didn't handle it well, she might very well perish here.

The calmness on her face.

Was merely a facade to mislead Mu Feng.

Being cunning and shrewd, she wanted to use psychological warfare to make Mu Feng reveal a flaw.

Both sides were now competing in patience and endurance.

The old woman was betting that Mu Feng's Magic Power would run out before she was killed by the giant swords.

Mu Feng, on the other hand, was betting that the ultimate physical form of the complete Qing Luo Sword Formation could kill this old woman.

"Hmph, I don't believe his True Qi is greater than mine!"

The old woman comforted herself.

At the same time, she focused her attention, seriously countering the increasingly numerous giant swords falling from above her head.

Mu Feng, meanwhile, controlled the giant swords to attack while secretly taking out ten thousand year spirit liquid to replenish his Magic Power.

Keeping his Magic Power in optimal condition at all times.

This way, even if the opponent managed to break out of the Sword Formation.

He would still have Magic Power to release the Mystic Bird Transformation, not to be caught without resistance.

The Little Lizard beside Mu Feng, seeing the sudden stalemate between the two, could only watch anxiously.

Mu Feng had unleashed all his Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords to deal with the old woman.

Now, all those purple bamboo forests were being resisted by it.

Otherwise, Mu Feng wouldn't have been able to comfortably clash with the old woman like this.

When masters exchange blows.

Anything can be a decisive factor.

The sword rain continued.

And the frequency had already reached sixty-six strikes per second.

Facing thousands of attacks per second, the old woman finally showed signs of fatigue on her face.

Her heart was filled with endless regret and shock.

She never would have imagined that Mu Feng, a Cultivator in the Core Formation Middle Stage, would be so strong.

What she had initially thought would be an easy victory.

Had turned into this situation.

Making her greatly regretful.

To resist these giant sword attacks, her Origin power was almost exhausted.

Yet, the opponent, for some reason.

Had confronted her for so long.

His aura could actually remain perfectly intact.

Initially, the old woman thought Mu Feng was just pretending, like her.

But gradually, she realized that Mu Feng wasn't pretending.

This made her secretly observe Mu Feng's every move while resisting the Sword Formation's attacks.

She found that Mu Feng's Magic Power consumption rate was not slow at all compared to hers.

Especially as the sword rain's attack frequency became higher and higher.

The Magic Power consumption rate plummeted.

This made her heart overjoyed.

Just when she thought she was about to outlast the opponent.

Suddenly, the smile on her face froze.

Because she discovered that Mu Feng, whose Magic Power was originally almost depleted, returned to his Peak Magic Power after taking a small sip from a white jade bottle he pulled out of his Storage Ring.

Seeing this situation.

The old woman's taut face instantly turned pale.

She cried out in alarm:

"No! This is impossible!"

"How can your Magic Power recover so quickly!"

"I'll tell you that question after you're dead."

Mu Feng replied impolitely.

With that said.

He continued to meticulously control the Sword Formation to slaughter the old woman.

From the old woman's terrified expression, Mu Feng also knew she was nearing her limit.

He increased the output frequency.

Having discovered that Mu Feng possessed a divine medicine for restoring Magic Power.

The old woman's nerves could no longer hold.

She stared at Mu Feng with a face full of resentment.

"Since that's the case, then let's die together!"

With that, she actually gave up her defense.

And pulled out a dark green pearl from within her body, looking as if she intended to perish with him.

Needless to say.

This pearl definitely had a big problem.

Mu Feng was also startled by the old woman's sudden action.

He didn't care what the pearl was.

He desperately wanted to kill her before she could activate it.

Seeing Mu Feng reveal a flustered expression.

The old woman let out a cold laugh.

She disregarded everything and sacrificed it before her chest.

However, just as she was about to cast a Spell to detonate it.

A cold snort suddenly echoed in her Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after, she felt her head explode with pain.

Her intended Spell-casting motion turned into an instinctive action of clutching her head and rolling.

This Sea of Consciousness pain lasted for a full second.

When the pain ended.

As she tried to continue her attack, she suddenly found that she couldn't exert any strength.

Looking down.

She discovered that her body and head had somehow separated.

Both were covered in pitted sword marks.

On her head.

Besides the sword marks, there was also a small golden arrow.

Violent lightning crackled on it.

The old woman felt that this lightning was very familiar.

As if she had seen it before.

"Evil-warding Divine Lightning? This is pure Evil-warding Divine Lightning!"

Her mind suddenly cleared.

She recognized that the lightning was precisely the golden lightning bamboo, even more powerful than the purple lightning bamboo in her hand.

No wonder the opponent had disdained her purple lightning bamboo.

It turned out he had a better lightning bamboo on him.

She didn't lose unfairly.

After this thought emerged.

The old woman's consciousness completely dissipated.

Because the golden lightning on her head had already exploded.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang.

The Ugly Woman completely vanished within the Sword Formation.

"Phew!"

Looking at the Ugly Woman, who had been directly blasted to death by the Golden Lightning Arrow.

Mu Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

In this battle against a Nascent Soul Old Monster, he had ultimately survived.

It seemed like he had won easily.

But only Mu Feng knew that his victory this time was entirely due to his sharp Magic Treasures and the abundance of ten thousand year spirit liquid.

Also, at the critical moment.

His Spirit Shocking Thorn had interrupted the opponent from detonating that dark green pearl.

Otherwise, the outcome might have been a mutual destruction.

"Sigh. Indeed, I still underestimated the Nascent Soul Old Monsters."

Mu Feng sighed.

Before the fight, he had thought he would be overwhelming them.

Especially after the Qing Luo Sword Formation was set up.

But he hadn't expected to almost be overturned by the opponent.

Thankfully, he had enough top-tier treasures on him.

Otherwise, it would have been hard to say.

One could only say.

People who had lived that long still had some tricks up their sleeves.

Next time he faced an enemy, he should be even more cautious.

These old monsters.

It's better not to provoke them if possible.

Once his Realm advanced further.

He would naturally be able to deal with them easily.

However, although this time was perilous.

The gains should be good.

Although he hadn't started collecting the Materials from the opponent's body yet.

Mu Feng had already seen several treasures.

The first was naturally the purple Tianlei Bamboo the old woman had used earlier; after the old woman died, that Tianlei Bamboo was also thrown on the ground by her.

The second was the dark green round pearl the old woman took out before her death.

Mu Feng hadn't checked its information yet.

But judging by the importance she placed on it.

It was clearly extraordinary.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought it out to deal with him at the last moment.

After a brief rest.

Mu Feng got up.

He retrieved all the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords.

At the same time, he released a large amount of dark green sword light, slashing towards the purple bamboo forest near the Little Lizard.

With the old woman's demise.

The power of those bamboo forests also weakened considerably.

In just a few seconds, they were all taken down by Mu Feng and the Little Lizard.

"Swish! Swish!"

Having dealt with the bamboo forest.

The Little Lizard quickly returned to Mu Feng's side.

Anxiously asking about Mu Feng's condition.

Although their exchange was brief, it knew the old woman's approximate strength.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Mu Feng patted the Little Lizard's head and smiled.

Then, he walked towards his spoils of war.
