Slaying Demons Together

Naturally, Cheng Xu also contributed. The Mystic Water Chant split into several streams of water to put out the flames on the Big Locust Tree.

"Senior, do you still think you can stay out of this?" Cheng Xu said helplessly.

"Cut the crap!" The Big Locust Tree's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a bad mood, "Hurry up and think of a way to help this old man break that fire array, or else we'll all die here today."

"In the current situation, we can only rely on Senior." Cheng Xu sighed and asked, "By the way, can Senior take medicinal pills?"

"Of course, you can. If you have any medicinal pills, quickly bring them over."

Cheng Xu immediately took out a variety of Qi-returning and healing pills from his storage bag.

Without waiting for Cheng Xu to hand it over, a few tree vines rolled the pill over.

After eating the pill, the Big Locust Tree's condition improved a little, and the strength of the attack on the formation also increased. With the help of everyone, the pressure the Big Locust Tree faced also decreased a lot.

"Little guys, think of a way to help me break the formation and save the mortals!"

The Big Locust Tree activated its vital essence and formed an emerald green protective barrier around it. It then controlled its vines to drag the surviving mortals into the barrier.

"Senior, at a time like this, you still care about saving mortals?" Wang Xiaolun didn't understand.

Unfortunately, the Big Locust Tree didn't pay any attention to him and continued to save the surviving mortals.

While Cheng Xu and the others were helping the Big Locust Tree, they also began to guide the mortals into the protective shield.

 …

Above the formation, a late-stage Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator stood in the air with a Formation Disk in his hand. He was surprised to find that someone was helping the Big Locust Tree.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected harvest." 

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator clearly didn't think much of Cheng Xu's group of five. 

"Old Locust Tree, stop struggling. I'm definitely going to get your demon core today!"

After he finished speaking, he poured his True Qi into the Formation Disk and increased the fire.

The flames and temperature within the array rose even higher.

The condition of Cheng Xu and the others was also getting worse and worse. Fortunately, before they left, the sect had prepared all kinds of pills for everyone.

With the support of the pills, the five of them could barely hold on.

"Brother Yue, do you have the array diagram of this Great Inferno Hell Array ?"

Seeing that the formation was still not broken, Cheng Xu couldn't help but turn his eyes to Yue Yang.

"There is, but with my current ability, I can't fully comprehend a Grade 3 formation." Yue Yang was secretly helpless.

"I'll try." Cheng Xu's eyes lit up.

"Can you do it? That's a Tier 3 formation."

Although Yue Yang's eyes were filled with doubt, he still took out the book that recorded the Great Inferno Hell Array from his storage bag.

Cheng Xu took the book and quickly read it with his Evil Eyes.

The detailed diagram of the Great Inferno Hell Array appeared clearly in Cheng Xu's mind. The data for the application of [ formation ] had also increased by 23.7MB, and his formation skills had improved.

"Senior, can you pull me up to the top of the tree to broaden my vision?"

Although the Big Locust Tree didn't know what Cheng Xu was going to do, it still threw out a vine and pulled Cheng Xu up to the top of the tree.

Cheng Xu, who had arrived at the top of the tree, once again activated the Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Spells and looked around. He had a panoramic view of the Purgatory Formation that enveloped the entire Scholartree City. His CPU was performing high-speed calculations, and the structure of the formation flowing within the formation's light barrier was clearly visible.

The Purgatory Formation built by the fiendish cultivators actually had five to six weak points, but their positions were all rather strange.

"Senior, attack these positions!"

Cheng Xu didn't waste any time and immediately sent the location of five or six weak points to the Big Locust Tree through his Spiritual Sense.

The Big Locust Tree was slightly startled and immediately began to attack the weak points of the Great Inferno Hell Array with all its strength.

The effect was obvious.

With just the first impact, the Array Light Barrier that enveloped the city began to tremble violently.

"Little guy, you did it. This old man owes you a favor!"

The Big Locust Tree was overjoyed and once again launched an attack at the weak point of the formation.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The formation's light barrier grew dimmer and dimmer under the Big Locust Tree's violent impact.

Yue Yang, who was below, was stunned, 

"You've already mastered the Great Inferno Hell Array? This… Is it possible?"

When he looked at the Foundation Establishment Fiendish Cultivators outside the formation, he was already shocked. He clearly didn't expect the Locust Tree to be able to find the weak point of the formation. 

"Damn it, where did this little brat come from? How dare he spoil this Taoist master's plans?!"

A large amount of Blood Qi rose around the fiendish cultivator's body as he used all his strength to maintain the stability of the formation.

Seeing this, Cheng Xu couldn't help but ask in a serious tone, 

"Senior, if we break the formation, do you have the confidence to defeat that fiendish cultivator?"

"I might not be able to kill it, but I'm still confident in repelling it!" The Big Locust Tree muttered.

"That's good." 

Cheng Xu's tensed heart was finally at ease. While he waited for the formation to break, the Evil Eye Of Ten Thousand Spells looked at the formation plate floating in the fiendish cultivator's hand, paying close attention to its condition.

While Cheng Xu was monitoring the status of the array disc, the CPU and GPU in his mind began to operate wildly.

"Eh? What's the problem?" Cheng Xu was confused.

A series of jumping data appeared in his mind, as well as a system message:

[breaking the formation…]

"What do you mean? The cultivation computer has such a function?" Cheng Xu was both surprised and delighted.

The battle was still going on, but Cheng Xu's head was starting to hurt and heat up, and his consciousness was blurring.

It was very clear that wanting to crack a Tier-3 Grand Array wasn't that easy.

[Ding! The formation has been successfully cracked, obtaining Control Authority…]

Good Lord, this wasn't cracking, this was directly hacking into the array disc.

Very quickly, Cheng Xu's Divine Sense connected to the array disc in the fiendish cultivator's hand. The entire array was under his control.

"Senior, stop attacking the formation. Get ready to attack the fiendish cultivator!"

"What?" 

The Big Locust Tree was just about to ask why, but in the next second, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The expression of the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator in the air suddenly changed. Immediately after, the light barrier of the formation that enveloped the entire town quickly dissipated and turned into a formation barrier that enveloped the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator.

The monstrous flames instantly began to attack the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator. The strange situation stunned everyone.

"What's going on? How come I can't control the formation?"

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator panicked. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He hurriedly threw out the array disc in his hand and struck out a blood-colored palm print in the air, trying to shatter the array disc.

However, it was blocked by a few vines that came flying up from below.

"Hahaha," the Big Locust Tree laughed. "Demon, die!"

Thick tree vines broke out of the ground around the town and interweaved into a large net that covered the sky and the sun. It wrapped around the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator.

"Motherf*cker!"

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator cursed in his heart. He wanted to break the net of vines and retreat, but he was pinned down by the attack of the Great Inferno Hell Array.

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator couldn't withstand the full power of the Locust Tree's attack combined with the Great Inferno Hell Array's attack.

He gritted his teeth and took out a bead with surging Blood Qi. He broke the net of vines and continued to attack the array.

"Big Locust Tree, what did you do to Grandpa Dao's formation plate?!"

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was hysterical.

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light shot over from below.

"Demon, your death is here-!" Wang Xiaolun sneered as he controlled his flying sword and attacked with all his might.

With the Big Locust Tree as his backing, he wasn't panicking at all.

"Hmph! A mere early Foundation Stage kid is not worthy of…" 

The Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was disdainful. He was about to block Wang Xiaolun's flying sword, but he was tightly entangled by two vines.

The next second, Wang Xiaolun's flying sword was already coming.

The flying sword pierced through the fiendish cultivator's shoulder, and the flames of the Great Inferno Hell Array quickly engulfed him.

The hysterical screams of the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator reverberated in the night sky.

Then, he was smashed down by a thick tree vine.

"A late Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator is nothing more than this!"

After Wang Xiaolun's sword hit the demon, he began to feel proud. When he saw the demon being smashed to the ground by the tree vines, he immediately chased after him.

Cheng Xu and the others followed closely behind to encircle and annihilate them.

In the open space outside the city, the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator was already in a sorry state. His entire abdomen had been pierced by a vine, and he looked like a lamp that had run out of oil.

"Brother Wang, be careful!" Han Yue exclaimed.

But Wang Xiaolun had already rushed forward confidently.

In the next second, Wang Xiaolun let out a blood-curdling scream as he was forced back by a surging blood-red light, spitting out blood.

Cheng Xu didn't pay attention to Wang Xiaolun. Under the cover of the Big Locust Tree's vines, he kept a safe distance and said, 

"Qi!"

The huge character "Qi" in ancient seal script appeared above Cheng Xu's head, which stunned Bai Ci'er and the others.

"What was that move?" Yue Yang asked curiously.

The Qi word mantra successfully disrupted the Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator's true Qi and worsened his injuries.

[ poison ivy ] followed.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Dark green poisonous vines broke out from the ground beneath the fiendish cultivator's feet and tied him firmly to the spot. The poison on the poisonous vines also flowed into the fiendish cultivator's body through his wounds, causing his entire body to go numb.

"So strong!"

Surprised, Han Yue took the opportunity to throw out a piece of talisman paper, which turned into a flaming tornado and swept toward the fiendish cultivator.

Bai Ci'er and Yue Yang didn't stay idle either, and they used their killer moves to focus fire.

Wang Xiaolun, who was supposed to be the main force of the team, was seriously injured on the side and was just a bystander.

"Poison!"

Cheng Xu immediately followed up with a venomous word mantra, further intensifying the poison in the fiendish cultivator's body.

Just like that, under the combined efforts of everyone and the attack of the Big Locust Tree's vines, the poor Foundation Establishment fiendish cultivator screamed in pain and turned into a "roasted lamb" that was pierced through the vines. He died a miserable death and didn't understand why his formation had turned around to attack him.

After confirming that the fiendish cultivator was dead, everyone felt relieved.

Logically speaking, it would be better to capture the fiendish cultivator alive. However, this fiendish cultivator was too powerful, so it wasn't realistic to capture him alive.

"Amazing, brother Cheng!" Yue Yang looked at Cheng Xu in surprise. "What was that move just now?"

"The inheritance left behind by the Medicine Celestial Valley's ancestor is called the Medicinal Law Mantra." Cheng Xu straightened his back proudly.

"Then what's with the Great Inferno Hell Array?"

"That eye technique of mine can be controlled by divine sense from a distance," Cheng Xu casually made up a story. "I took advantage of his inattentiveness and controlled the array disk in his hand."

"I can… Like this?"

Yue Yang was greatly shocked, his face full of disbelief.

In addition, he couldn't believe that Cheng Xu had been able to comprehend the formation diagram of the Great Inferno Hell Array in such a short time. 

Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled, hiding his achievements and fame.

Seeing that everyone was surrounding Cheng Xu, Wang Xiaolun, who was standing at the side, felt a little upset. 

"Tsk ~ Brother Wang's flying sword was the key, okay?"

"That's true," Yue Yang smiled and flattered, "Brother Wang's sword was indeed very crucial, but he was a little too reckless in the end."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolun's heart finally felt better.

However, the strength that Cheng Xu had displayed just now had indeed impressed him and even made him feel a little admiration.
