218: Chapter 218 Using the Same Trick Again

Nine Demon Bone Iron Guards, as massive as iron towers, stood amidst the ruins of the broken Formation.

The dark black tungsten-titanium alloy armor covering their bodies glinted with a cold, heavy luster under the lingering light of the Spells.

Their scarlet electronic eyes locked firmly onto the surrounding Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, and a cold murderous intent spread rapidly through this confined space.

Gu Shen stood suspended in the Void Realm, his grey robes fluttering.

The thunder pattern gold-slaying blade in his hand exhaled a three-zhang-long dark cyan thunder-magnetic blade aura, resembling a god of slaughter stepping out from the netherworld.

"Azure Wood Strangulation Array, rise!"

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan stood upon his jade sword, his face twisted in a fierce expression as he roared.

The hundreds of remaining elite Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect suppressed the terror in their hearts and shifted their positions.

They all bit their tongues and sprayed their lifeblood onto the cyan Formation Flags in their hands.

In an instant, countless blood-thirsty vines, as thick as water vats and covered in purple-black poisonous thorns, burst forth from the crevices of the rock walls around the valley.

These vines contained extremely dense wood-attribute Spiritual Qi and, like thousands of dancing poisonous pythons, intertwined and knotted in mid-air, forming a massive cage of azure wood, intending to strangle Gu Shen and the nine Demon Bone Iron Guards within.

Wood-attribute Formations are endless and unceasing, best at trapping enemies and strangulation.

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan stood at the center of the Formation, knowing well that such physically formidable armored puppets were extremely difficult to break from the outside.

Back when he was on the outskirts of Mang Mountain, he had used sonic resonance to destroy the mechanisms of these Puppets from within.

"Alias, a Loose Cultivator like you is shallow in vision after all.

You actually dare to bring out the same scrap metal to embarrass yourself a second time!"

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan sneered repeatedly.

With a backhanded slap, the white mountain-shaking bone zither lay steadily across his chest.

The pure Foundation Establishment True Essence within his body poured out without reservation, flooding into this exotic treasure that terrified countless Loose Cultivators.

His ten fingers turned into a blur of shadows, frantically plucking the nine earth-vein mysterious tendon strings.

"Zheng—! Zheng—!"

The shrill zither sound transformed into tangible grey-white ripples, sweeping down from mid-air like a tsunami.

These grey-white ripples were not ordinary Spell attacks; they contained an extremely bizarre infrasonic resonance frequency.

Wherever the ripples passed, the air rippled with visible folds, and the hard rock on the ground turned into fine powder without warning.

Dozens of invisible Kui Ox phantoms condensed within the sound waves, emitting roars that shattered the clouds.

Ignoring the obstruction of surrounding physical barriers, they crashed straight into the chests of the nine Demon Bone Iron Guards below.

"Shatter for this seat!" Core Disciple Qin Wuyan plucked the strings heavily with his five fingers, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty fanaticism.

He had already foreseen the scene in the next instant: those seemingly indestructible armored monsters would have their internal Formation veins snapped and their Spiritual Qi sources explode under the resonance of the zither sound, eventually turning into a pile of paralyzed scrap metal.

The giant wave of sound waves slammed solidly onto the bodies of the nine Iron Guards.

Time flowed extremely slowly at this moment.

Gu Shen stood with his hands behind his back, not even activating the [Absolute Collapse] gravitational field to provide shelter for the Iron Guards, just quietly watching everything.

The infrasonic waves penetrated the surface armor of the tungsten-titanium alloy without any obstruction.

However, when the high-frequency oscillation, capable of destroying any precision mechanism, touched the earth-yellow shock-absorbing and sound-insulating coating between the inner wall of the armor and the Demon Bone, a sudden change occurred.

The coating, fused with Kui Ox sound marrow, polymer energy-absorbing gel, and mica spirit sand, displayed physical properties that could be called miraculous at this moment.

The porous, honeycomb-like microstructure was like a bottomless black hole.

The moment the violent sonic oscillation crashed into it, it was forcibly dispersed and absorbed.

The high-frequency mechanical kinetic energy was all converted into weak thermal energy through the molecular chain friction of the sound-insulating coating.

Visible to the naked eye, wisps of high-temperature heat waves that distorted the air rose from the surfaces of the nine Iron Guards; this was the physical manifestation of the coating efficiently dissipating heat.

And inside the Iron Guards, the red copper wires and miniature Fusion batteries, connected by Gu Shen himself, were safe and sound, without even a trace of excess vibration.

Impervious to all sounds, as firm as a rock!

The aftermath of the zither sound dissipated.

The nine steel giants still stood steadily in place, their scarlet electronic eyes glowing intensely, and the power furnaces within their chests emitted a steady and low roar.

Let alone exploding on the spot, they didn't even take half a step back.

"This... this is absolutely impossible!"

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan's ten fingers, which were plucking the zither, froze in mid-air, and the composure on his face was replaced by extreme shock.

This mountain-shaking bone zither was a heavy treasure bestowed by the Golden Core Old Ancestor, and a Cultivator of the same stage would have their internal organs shattered by such a strike.

These clumps of iron were clearly short-circuited and paralyzed by the zither sound last time; why, after such a short time, could they treat this infrasonic killing move as nothing?!

"Prodigies of the Cultivation World are mostly this self-righteous."

Gu Shen's voice pierced through the surrounding roar of the Formation, carrying a sense of condescending pity, "Fellow Daoist Qin, the times have changed.

Your broken zither is nothing but a piece of waste wood here today."

The moment his words fell, the killing order in Gu Shen's heart was issued with a roar.

"Clear the position, leave none alive."

The nine Demon Bone Iron Guards received the master control command and instantly switched from static to motion, turning into nine indestructible heavy weapons of slaughter.

The first to bear the brunt was the No. 9 Iron Guard, which had the remains of a 3rd-Stage Flame Poison Crocodile King embedded within it.

The surrounding Azure Wood Strangulation Array had already been driven to its limit, and hundreds of thick blood-thirsty vines, like layers of wooden walls, swept in from all directions, attempting to bind the No. 9 Iron Guard tightly.

"Fire overcomes wood; this is the principle of heaven and earth.

Supplemented with Wasteland nuclear toxic fire, let's see how long your Azure Wood Formation can block it." Gu Shen stood in mid-air, watching coldly.

The No. 9 Iron Guard's thick lower limbs heavily crushed the rock layer, and its massive body leaned slightly forward.

The tungsten-titanium alloy armor at its mouth slid to both sides, revealing a pitch-black nozzle.

The miniature Fusion battery inside its chest instantly outputted at full capacity.

"Boom!"

A fan-shaped stream of green toxic fire erupted wildly from the mouth of the No. 9 Iron Guard.

This toxic fire fused the residual life-bound demon fire of the Flame Poison Crocodile King with the high-energy radiation of the Wasteland nuclear battery, and the temperature was shockingly high.

The toxic fire spread like a prairie fire.

Those incredibly tough blood-thirsty vines, which even ordinary top-grade Magical Artifacts could hardly cut, ignited instantly the moment they touched the green flames, like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

The fire spread frantically along the wood-attribute Spiritual Qi veins of the vines, and within a few seconds, nearly half of the Azure Wood Strangulation Array turned into a sea of fire filled with shrill wails.

The dozen or so Beast Taming Sect Disciples responsible for guarding the Formation eyes suffered from the backlash of the Formation, vomiting blood, and their protective spiritual light was teetering under the scorching of the toxic fire.

A fat deacon at the Qi Refining 9th Layer saw that the situation was bad, shouted, and sacrificed a top-grade spirit shield engraved with the phantom of a Black Tortoise, attempting to block the path of the No. 9 Iron Guard.

"Die, Prodigy!" The fat deacon poured all his magic power into the spirit shield, and the surface of the shield suddenly shone with a bright earth-yellow light, turning into a thick air wall a zhang high.

The No. 9 Iron Guard did not slow down at all.

Its massive metal body carried the terrifying kinetic energy of a wild charge, and at the knuckles of its clenched metal right fist, three extremely sharp high-frequency oscillation blades popped out.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud crash of metal and stone shattering.

That Black Tortoise spirit shield, which was claimed to be able to withstand a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Cultivator, was as fragile as a layer of thin ice under the heavy fist of the No. 9 Iron Guard.

The high-frequency oscillation blades instantly shredded the Spell air wall, and the tungsten-titanium alloy heavy fist drove straight in, slamming solidly onto the chest of the fat deacon.

Flesh and blood exploded.

The elite deacon at the Qi Refining 9th Layer could not even let out a scream, and his entire upper body exploded into a cloud of scarlet blood mist under the terrifying physical kinetic energy.

Shattered bone and blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding scorched earth red.

A one-hit kill.

This scene completely shattered the psychological defenses of the Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

The other eight Iron Guards were also like tigers entering a flock of sheep, charging into the scattered army Formation.

The Thunder Cloud Snow Leopard Iron Guard turned into a black lightning bolt; every time its sharp claws swiped, the head of a Disciple would inevitably fly into the sky; the Golden-Horned Rhinoceros Beast Iron Guard charged through the bombardment of Spells, as if entering an uninhabited realm, smashing the Cultivators who blocked its way along with giant rocks into pieces.

A one-sided physical slaughter was cruelly staged at the bottom of this Desolate Valley.

Those high and mighty Sect Disciples finally understood what true despair was at this moment.

Their Flying Swords slashed at the Iron Guards, only leaving shallow white marks; but a single heavy punch from an Iron Guard could take their lives.

"Form the array! Do not retreat! Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Core Disciple Qin Wuyan stood in mid-air, roaring hoarsely.

He successively sacrificed several powerful Magical Artifacts to bombard the Iron Guards, but they were all neutralized by the tungsten-titanium armor on the Iron Guards and their excellent mobility.

The defeat was set.

The Nine Stars Spirit Binding Array and the Azure Wood Strangulation Array collapsed one after another, and the Beast Taming Sect army at the bottom of the valley had been completely divided and crushed.

Gu Shen still stood in the Void Realm with his hands behind his back.

He did not look at the slaughterhouse below where blood flowed like a river, his cold, deep eyes locked firmly onto the figure in snow-white clothes above.

The real prey was only now fully exposed in the desperate situation.

Gu Shen slowly drew the thunder pattern gold-slaying blade, the blade pointing diagonally at the ground, the massive air pressure of his Extreme Dao Foundation Establishment spreading out like a deep pool or a towering mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, your Formation is broken."

Gu Shen tapped his toes in the air, his figure turning into a dark cyan thunderbolt, heading straight for Core Disciple Qin Wuyan in the high sky.
