Chapter 425: Chapter 423: Consecutive Kills The nine beams of light shot out from the underground into the sky, and then rapidly connected and spread. Finally, they formed a hemispherical red barrier, trapping the black-robed man within. The barrier was filled with a gray mist, with bloody lightning floating around, emanating an extremely dangerous and oppressive aura. This was the Nine Palaces Array that Lou Yi had prepared underground to deal with Elder Wang, now coming into play. "Damn it, you can’t trap me!" The black-robed man’s roar came from within the Nine Palaces Array, followed by a muffled grunt. It seemed that even if he wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be something he could achieve in a short time. With the black-robed man trapped, Lou Yi freed up his hands and looked at the spider demon and the ugly red-robed man who were in distress. The ugly red-robed man was still clutching his head tightly. The two bumps on his forehead were still expanding, and his eyes were wide open, bloodshot, almost popping out of their sockets. The spider demon was even more frantic, constantly slamming its body into the ground, self-harming. "Roar!!" Eventually, the spider demon couldn’t take it anymore and stabbed a sharp leg straight into its abdomen, creating a bloody hole! Inside the hole, everyone could clearly see a black scale with an eerie luster quietly lying there. Even from a distance, one could feel the endless Yin Wind, evil aura, resentment, and other vicious elements of the world rushing forward... This was the sinister scale Lou Yi had obtained from Feng Heguang, which originated from his ancestor Feng Jiuyue. Even a brief contact would cause tumors on the skin, irreversible, and could only be sealed with mysterious white clay. Having been swallowed by the spider demon, Lou Yi used venom to corrode the web on his hand, barely gaining some mobility. He then threw this deadly weapon directly into the spider demon’s gastric acid. The highly corrosive gastric acid of the spider demon instinctively wanted to digest this foreign object. But instead, it triggered the scale’s resistance, making its radiation capability grow exponentially! At that moment, being too close, Lou Yi grew six or seven tumors on his body, let alone the spider demon whose flesh was fused with it. Fortunately, Lou Yi had cultivated the Demon Summoning Scripture to the Small Success Level, barely resisting the physical and mental torment from the mutation of his body. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 The intense reactions of the spider demon and the ugly red-robed man were beyond Lou Yi’s expectations. Could it be that the scale is alive and got enraged? Lou Yi didn’t think much of it; right now, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. With a ’whoosh’, he vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was beside the white head of the spider demon. "Armor-Piercing!" Nearly six hundred thousand pounds of force poured entirely into the spider demon’s white head! At the same time, the powerful armor-piercing skill was added. "Roar!!!" The spider demon’s head, struck so heavily, instantly deformed from spherical to a pancake. The power of armor-piercing was also formidable. It severely damaged the spider demon’s Divine Soul, causing over a hundred green eyes to ooze green liquid, bleeding as if with blood. In an instant, it went berserk. Its more than ten pillar-like legs flailed chaotically, smashing all obstacles in front of it to pieces! White air currents rushed around, rubble and dust flew everywhere, and blue electric sparks continuously erupted in the air... But its reckless attack posed no threat to Lou Yi. His feet stepping on the void, with a wave of his sleeves, he appeared from another direction beside the disoriented spider demon’s head and punched again. This time, Lou Yi mustered all his strength, delivering hundreds of punches in the blink of an eye! Each punch carried the full force of Splitting Mountain and inflicted armor-piercing damage to the Divine Soul. The spider demon let out an earth-shattering scream. In an instant, all its hundred green eyeballs exploded, its head shattered like a watermelon, yellow-white brain matter splattering! The once powerful spider demon that had Lou Yi completely on the defensive now fell! And at the moment of the spider demon’s demise, the ugly red-robed man let out a high-pitched scream as well. Lou Yi couldn’t spare a moment to check the new notifications on the Attribute Panel, reaching out into the void ahead to grab. The eerie black scale flew over, quickly enveloped by white clay. At the same time, a Blood Shadow flew from his palm, silently beginning to devour the spider demon’s body. Its entire body gradually dimmed; its husk dried out, covered in cracks. "You harmed my spirit pet; I’m going to kill you!!!" Due to the death of his spirit pet, the ugly man in the red robe suffered severe backlash, with blood seeping from his mouth and nose. He was driven to madness by hatred, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of venomous needles shimmering with dark light rained down on Lou Yi! Lou Yi crossed his fists to protect his face and continued to charge toward the man in the red robe without hesitation. ’Bang bang bang bang!’ The venomous needles struck Lou Yi’s body surface, producing a dense metallic clanging like raindrops, with sparks flying off. Seeing the man in the red robe trying to retreat. Lou Yi commanded the treasure embryo, Mo Yuan, which flew with a ’swish’ to block him. A red light shot out from the man in the red robe’s sleeve, knocking Mo Yuan away. And Lou Yi followed up by throwing a gray-white striped Gengjin Axe. It spun with a ’woo woo woo’ sound, blocking the path behind the man in the red robe. The remaining ten or so Yin Thunder Seeds were also thrown out by Lou Yi, turning into dazzling fireworks in the air, blocking the directions on the sides of the man in the red robe! Finally, Lou Yi managed to get close to the man in the red robe as he wished. The man’s entire body surged with powerful Spiritual Essence, and a gigantic light wall engraved with ancient runes instantly stood between him and Lou Yi. Lou Yi punched over a dozen times, but could only cause visible ripples on the light wall, still some distance from being damaged. Although he was less than a zhang away from the man in the red robe, this distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm at the moment. "Once I deal with them, it will be your death..." the ugly man in the red robe roared angrily. His cultivation was indeed profound, vaguely showing signs of suppressing the tumors. Then he saw Lou Yi spreading his hand, revealing a black scale shimmering with dark light. "Ah!!" The ugly man in the red robe felt that the tumors he had just forcibly suppressed were now rioting again. Bringing unbearable harm to his body and mind once more! ’Bang!’ Seizing the opportunity when the man’s mind was unstable, Lou Yi unleashed over a hundred punches in an instant, shattering the unstable light shield and closing in on him. "Die!" The Blood Shadow, which had just grown over five zhang tall after devouring the spider demon’s corpse, once again became Lou Yi’s force booster, instantly raising his strength to over 800,000 jin! At such a close range, coupled with the Armor-Piercing attack’s damage to the Divine Soul. The ugly man in the red robe could only instinctively cover himself with a layer of thick Protective Spiritual Light. But under the terrifying force, it was mercilessly shattered. He couldn’t even scream before his body was smashed into countless pieces of flesh! A green humanoid light orb, shrouded in black light, flew out and was violently smashed to pieces by Lou Yi with ’Armor-Piercing.’ ’Boom!’ It was only then that another expert in black robes from Yellow Springs managed to break the Nine Palace Array and rushed out disheveled. "Die!" He happened to witness the scene of ’Seventh Brother’ being blasted to death by Lou Yi. In anger, he spat out a large mouthful of blood essence. Simultaneously, his whole body’s Spiritual Essence surged as if crazed, almost fully channeling into the next attack. A black bone spike, shimmering with a terrifying chill, emerged from the void and then flashed with unmatched speed toward Lou Yi’s chest, stabbing fiercely! ’Puff!’ Despite Lou Yi’s incredible defense, it was still breached by the opponent’s full-force strike of resentment. The bone spike pierced Lou Yi’s chest, then plunged in halfway more! "Haha, die for me!" the man in the black robe laughed wildly. Just then, he heard a soft whisper in his ear. "Rebound." ’Puff!’ The black-robed cultivator, in disbelief, looked down at his chest. There, a large piece was penetrated by invisible energy, hollow, and its heart within was shattered to pieces. Petrification (Active 3): When using Active 1, you may choose to activate this ability. If the physical defense limit is not broken, it can rebound 50% of all physical damage received within three breaths, and this ability can only be used once in a short time. ...
