#953 - Cannon fodder misses the target
The strength of this power had already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Even a powerful formation like the Demon Subduing Array seemed to teeter on the verge of collapse before it.
Although the Demon Subduing Array contained many treasures specifically designed to target Li Chengfeng, they were rendered useless by his brute-force method of breaking the formation.
Because Li Chengfeng would not enter the formation at all, but instead chose to destroy it from the outside with absolute power.
This simple, crude, yet effective method caused the old monsters within the formation to show expressions of terror.
They had never seen such a powerful enemy, nor had they ever imagined that anyone would dare to challenge the might of the Demon Subduing Array so boldly.
With the roar of twenty-six loud explosions, the light of the Demon Subduing Array finally dissipated completely, and those treasures that were once considered precious were reduced to dust under the impact of the sword energy.
Swept by the sword energy, these old monsters coughed up blood like fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind, their figures staggered, and their faces were as pale as paper.
Within this Demon Subduing Array, the array core alone had gathered tens of thousands of cultivators, including many experts at the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage, and the lowest were cultivators at the late stage peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Such a lineup was enough to be considered a powerful force in the cultivation world, but at this moment, under this fierce and unparalleled sword energy.
Their foundations were almost completely destroyed, leaving only a few hundred cultivators scattered alone in the formation, appearing particularly desolate.
Dozens of Half-Step Nascent Soul old monsters and hundreds of Nascent Soul stage experts were now terrified to the point of despair.
If such a fierce attack were to come again, this Demon Subduing Array would inevitably be broken, and they would not be able to escape death.
At this critical moment of life and death, their hearts were filled with fear and despair.
Just then, the Island Master suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the formation.
With an undeniable majesty: "Fellow Daoists, do not panic.
Although this Li Chengfeng is strong, he is a cowardly rat, afraid to enter the formation to break it, only knowing how to bombard it wildly from the outside.
Rest assured, even if this formation is broken, we have a way out, we can retreat into another formation in the North Sea.
We are now depleting his magic power. Although he uses the Dao of Formations to condense sword energy to attack us, the consumption of millions of cultivators is also enormous.
I don't believe he can relentlessly kill us continuously."
The Island Master's words were like a shot in the arm, calming the old monsters' hearts slightly.
However, the frustration in everyone's heart did not dissipate because of this.
With their current manpower, let alone kill Li Chengfeng, even rushing out would result in their heads rolling.
The opponent's fifty or sixty Half-Step Nascent Soul experts, each with an overwhelming aura, coupled with the massive formation composed of millions of people, would surely lead to their death as soon as they showed their faces.
In this despair and frustration, these old monsters could only pin their hopes on the retreat route mentioned by the Island Master, and the faint possibility of a turning point brought about by the war of attrition.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were like torches, as if able to see through all the illusions in the world.
He coldly watched the old monsters trapped in the Demon Subduing Array, and from their panicked and helpless eyes, Li Chengfeng read a bit of regret and despair.
These guys who had been blinded by the reward finally realized the fate that awaited them.
Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a cold smile, and he once again made a hand seal and cast a spell. Instantly, the entire formation underwent earth-shattering changes again.
Countless sword energies intertwined and shuttled in the air, like agile swimming fish, soaring freely in the air.
However, in the next moment, these fish-like sword energies instantly transformed into countless light and shadows, densely interwoven together, forming a net of swords covering the sky.
This sword net was incredibly huge, firmly enveloping the entire Myriad Demons Formation.
It slowly contracted, each sword thread incomparably sharp, and wherever it went, the space seemed to be cut open, leaving behind shocking cracks.
Seeing this scene, the old monsters finally felt completely terrified.
They let out terrified screams, as if facing the most terrifying nightmare in the world.
Among them, a bald-headed rogue cultivator was particularly eye-catching. He had three arms and three eyes.
At this moment, he was roaring and reminding everyone: "It's bad! He's going to wipe us all out in one fell swoop!
Have you seen the sword threads in the air? Turning swords into threads, with this level of sharpness, the Demon Subduing Array definitely can't withstand it!"
With his reminder, everyone was immediately thrown into chaos, and the array core of the Demon Subduing Array began to shake violently.
The moment those sword threads touched the Demon Subduing Array, the originally indestructible formation seemed to be made of paper, easily cut into pieces.
Immediately afterward, the huge sword net swooped down from top to bottom.
The whole process seemed long, but in reality, it was as fast as lightning.
The cultivators trapped in the formation immediately let out shrill screams, and some people even knelt directly on the ground.
Pleading for the forgiveness of the Myriad Dharma Ancestor: "Myriad Dharma Ancestor, please forgive us!
We were just momentarily blinded by greed! Now we finally understand, please be merciful, we will definitely swear our loyalty to you!".
Responding to them were only those dense sword threads, which swept past like lightning, ruthlessly reaping lives.
Including the Demon Subduing Array and the tens of thousands of cultivators within the formation, were all cut into pieces in an instant.
Blood stained the entire sea red, and the stench of blood filled the air, making people nauseous.
The grievances, pain, unwillingness, and souls of those cultivators were all absorbed by that mysterious small tower at this moment.
It was like a greedy demon, constantly devouring these negative energies, turning them into its own nourishment.
With the injection of these energies, the light on the surface of the small tower became even more dazzling.
The rogue cultivators died extremely miserably, their limbs were broken, their faces were distorted, and their eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.
Until the moment the flame of life was extinguished, everyone finally realized that they were just pawns of others, cannon fodder in this cruel struggle.
They had come full of hope, wanting to kill the Myriad Dharma Old Demon in exchange for the illusory reward.
But the ending was so tragic, making people sigh endlessly.
At the moment of everyone's death, the moment the formation was broken, the Island Master, like a ghost, quietly escaped into the North Sea through the secret teleportation technique.
This scene was like a sharp knife, piercing fiercely into the hearts of those rogue cultivators.
At this moment, they finally understood that this was a carefully designed scheme from beginning to end, a conspiracy to use them, these rogue cultivators, to deplete Li Chengfeng's power.
The North Sea had never really intended to give them any rewards.
Because the North Sea knew very well that these rogue cultivators did not have the strength to kill the Myriad Dharma Old Demon, and everyone's participation would only be a futile sacrifice.
However, the North Sea cleverly used their greed and ignorance, pushing the rogue cultivators step by step into the abyss of death.
But the North Sea did not expect that these rogue cultivators, who were regarded as cannon fodder, ultimately gained nothing, but simply lost their lives in vain.
And that Island Master was now standing within the defensive formation of the North Sea, with a smug smile on his face.
This defensive formation was condensed by the North Sea over a period of 100,000 years, and it was incomparably strong. The Island Master was full of confidence in it.
Looking at Li Chengfeng in the distance, he gritted his teeth and said: "Myriad Dharma Old Demon, you are truly guilty of heinous crimes! You killed tens of thousands of cultivators with a single move. Such carnage is simply appalling.
They had clearly expressed their willingness to join you, why didn't you give them a chance to live?
If you were willing to give them a chance to live, you could both reduce your karmic burden and strengthen your own strength, why not do it?
You are so cruel and ruthless, you will be punished by the heavens sooner or later!"
