Chapter 1129: Ambushed (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

The next day, Xu Sheng and the two others were sitting atop a somewhat luxurious carriage...

Duanmu Lian touched the soft cushions of the carriage with a complicated expression on her face, remarking, "This shape-shifting ability is really not bad, even though it doesn't have any offensive power. As long as it's not attacked or under attack, it won't disappear!"

By her side, Zhou Qingruo also unexpectedly agreed, saying, "Hmm! This ability is indeed good! Besides, it won't be too late to deal with it after we arrive!"

Xu Sheng lifted the corners of his lips into a smile, "Qingruo, how can you say that? The Cloud Devouring Beast is being obedient, otherwise, where would we get such a nice carriage to sit in, right?"

After saying this, he quickly patted the carriage a few times...

That's right, the luxurious carriage they were sitting in was actually the Heaven Swallowing Beast that had shape-shifted, indistinguishable from a real one!

Upon hearing these words, the carriage-shaped Heaven Swallowing Beast angrily retorted, "You... You're simply exploiting a Monster Beast, pushing things too far. I've done everything you said and yet you still don't plan to let me go!"

I am a Monster Beast that can speak the human language, and yet I've been turned into a mere means of transportation by these humans!!

It's truly a big blunder in life!

Xu Sheng spoke again to pacify it, "We didn't say we wouldn't let you go. Buck up, little guy. Maybe if we're in a good mood later, we'll release you!"

If they truly wanted to reach any place in Central State, just using Divine Power to teleport would suffice!

The reason they had the Cloud Devouring Beast turn into a carriage to transport them was to give their own Divine Power time to recover!

Duanmu Lian also blinked her Beautiful Eyes, shining brightly, "That's right, if you behave in a way that satisfies us, it's not impossible to set you free!"

Hearing these perfunctory words, the Cloud Devouring Beast clenched its teeth in anger but felt somewhat helpless!

At the mercy of others, I am the fish on the chopping block!

In its heart, it swore, "I really don't understand why you guys are so eager to court death! The Demon Cultivators of Central State aren't something a few of you can handle!"

Of course, what mattered most was that they were courting death and dragging it along too!

While it was lost in thought, the surrounding temperature suddenly became piercingly cold...

"Humming~~" A grating noise continued to rise...

One could faintly feel that the entire space suddenly surged with multiple fluctuations of Spiritual Power...

Subsequently, countless streams of dense Sword Qi came flooding toward Xu Sheng and the other two from both sides, threatening to swamp them...

The Cloud Devouring Beast exclaimed, "Oh no! It's an ambush!! I really don't want to die!"

As it finished speaking, the extremely fearful beast immediately canceled its shape-shift, transforming from the carriage back into the small-sized Heaven Swallowing Beast...

Xu Sheng and the other two sitting inside instantly fell to the ground...

Duanmu Lian furrowed her brow, "So much Sword Qi! It's an attack from others!!"

And Zhou Qingruo said in an icy voice, "Moreover, the Spiritual Power Fluctuations of the attackers are all quite strong, the weakest of them being about that of a Daluo Golden Immortal!"

Xu Sheng glanced casually at the Sword Qi that was about to hit them with his seemingly indifferent gaze and said, "Creatures. Golden Shield!"

As the words left his mouth, the immense Divine Power within him swept out instantly, completely enveloping the surroundings and forming a Golden Shield that radiated intense light, appearing impenetrable!

And indeed it was, as the Sword Qi, which glowed with a cold light struck the shield, they instantly shattered into light blue particles...

Unable to leave even the slightest mark on it!

Using the cover, the ambushers hiding around them saw this and exclaimed in shock, "What? What is that power? It effortlessly blocked our Sword Qi attack!"

"Not just blocked, our attacks didn't even cause that shield to dim even the slightest bit!"

"That force shouldn't be Spiritual Power, but it's stronger than Spiritual Power, no doubt there must be numerous treasures on that fellow!"

"To be on the safe side, let's directly use an Array to suppress him! Maybe we can also train those two women into slaves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the ambushers were filled with intense murderous intent...

Zhou Qingruo, who had already drawn her personal sword, scanned her surroundings with icy eyes and coldly said, "Who's there? If you have the ability, come out! What skill is there in skulking around?"

Seeing this, Duanmu Lian also didn't dare to relax in the slightest, watching their surroundings intently...

These attackers, very likely Demon Cultivators, necessitated heightened vigilance!

The Cloud Devouring Beast patted its chest and hurriedly said, "Phew, that scared the hell out of me! I thought I was going to bite the dust here today!"

It had thought that it, along with Duanmu Lian and the others, would be torn to shreds by those Sword Qi!

But unexpectedly, the strength of the man beside them proved to be extraordinarily powerful, especially the special power forming the shield in front of them; even having lived for tens of millions of years, it had never seen such a thing!

At this moment, its heart couldn't help but waver...

Perhaps these three really could eradicate the Demon Cultivators of Central State?

No sooner had this thought surfaced in its mind than it completely denied it!

The number of Demon Cultivators in Central State was so vast that even if each one just spat, they could drown them!

Xu Sheng, as if sensing something, warned, "Qingruo, Lian, watch your feet!!"

Upon hearing this, both Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo shifted their gazes to the ground...

To the naked eye, the area where the three of them stood was now enveloped by an abyss-like black Array...

Black ghostly claws emerged from it, causing hearts to tremble as they coiled around their legs...

Duanmu Lian tried to lift her legs but found it futile, her expression turning ugly as she said, "What is this?? An Array??"

Zhou Qingruo pursed her thin lips, forcing herself to remain calm as she said, "Just now there wasn't a hint of Spirit Force Fluctuation, obviously, this is an Array that those attackers prepared in advance!!"

Was it coincidence? Or was it intentional?

Seeing its own legs grabbed by those nauseating ghostly claws, the Cloud Devouring Beast panicked and said, "What? What the hell is this? Hey hey, you three, hurry up and break it!"

Xu Sheng merely glanced at it casually and chuckled, "If we break it, will those fellows still choose to make a move?"

The Cloud Devouring Beast was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?!"

Before Xu Sheng could reply, an icy voice suddenly rang out...

"They're caught in the Array! Everyone, attack together!"

As soon as these words were out, several figures in black robes surged forth, eyeing Xu Sheng and the others inside the Array with malice!

They angrily shouted, "Die! Heavenly-tier Martial Technique, Lightning Snakes!"

"Lower-grade Immortal Technique, Ghost Spirit Saber-Tooth!"

"Mid-grade Immortal Rank Martial Skill, Waning Moon Slash!"

Following that, several terrifying apparitions spread out, and an oppressive force that could destroy everything began to rise slowly...
