Chapter 476: Chapter 303: Not Speaking of Martial Ethics
No Respect for the Martial Way
At that time, the combined power would have flaws and fall short of complete satisfaction.
This time, targeting a small town, he had spent quite a lot of time, especially now that both the Town Lord’s Mansion and the Flying Ship had been abandoned.
If there were issues again with these four nodes in treasure refining, it would fall far short of expectations.
This Outer Disciple naturally kept a close watch on the Town Lord’s Mansion, the Flying Ship, and the mansions of those wealthy households.
Especially the mansions of those wealthy households.
Fortunately, there were no signs of disturbance.
As time went by, the black aura from the entire town’s sacrifice gathered at the four array bases.
This was the essence of sacrificing the entire town,
eventually devoured by the four skeletons completely.
The skeletons seemed to burn with black flames.
Among the flames, a large amount of black aura was consumed, and at the moment of exhaustion, they soared in unison, their momentum surging to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even though it seems like only a small breakthrough, their combat strength increased at least twofold.
Four Flame Bone Demons at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, jointly setting up the Demon Flame Square Array, could suppress and kill Late Stage Foundation Establishment and rival Foundation Establishment Great Perfection; they could even withstand a few hits from an Early Stage Golden Core.
With coordination from other Flame Bone Demons in hand, forming the Demon Flame Nine Directions Array, it was even possible to besiege an Early Stage Golden Core.
Although it wasn’t perfect, it allowed this Outer Disciple to breathe a sigh of relief.
This also meant he had perfectly completed his plan.
Next step was to escape and then seek revenge.
Thinking of this, his expression twisted, and his eyes brimmed with venom; his opponent was also an Outer Disciple.
After a miserable defeat, he suffered significant losses.
The other side didn’t fare well either, wanting to step on his shoulders to ascend; they must die.
However, now wasn’t the time to think about these things; he directly reached out, and the Bone Bracelet slipped from his hand and flew into the air.
No fewer than five finger-sized Bone Pearls flew out, burning with black flames as they floated in the air, rapidly growing larger.
Emitting wailing and howling sounds, swirling around.
Indeed, these five were all Flame Bone Demons at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Each of these Flame Bone Demon demonic artifacts was refined by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
As if drawn by some force, the Flame Bone Demons completed at the other four array hubs flew towards here.
At each of the three array hubs lay a Foundation Establishment Cultivator Demon Soldier responsible for overseeing, at this moment lying limp on the ground, looking not only forlorn but with graying temples, clearly aging by at least twenty to thirty years.
This was the price.
Demonic artifacts could be quickly produced, but refining them wasn’t without difficulty.
The only place guarded by a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection was already left with nothing but a dry corpse, eyes filled with endless bitterness.
There was no choice; becoming a Demon Servant meant having no choice.
With only Qi Cultivation Perfection strength, the end result was death upon the successful refining of the Demon Treasure.
At least this way, his family members could be taken care of for a few years.
That was the reason he didn’t resist.
Of course, even if he wanted to resist, it would be impossible.
How could a Demon Cultivator not have control over their Demon Soldiers? Needless to say, even the other three Foundation Establishment combined could be instantly subdued.
Even if they ascended to Golden Core, it would still be extremely difficult to break free.
The three Foundation Establishment Demon Servants at the array hubs, upon realizing it, quickly swallowed Essence Blood to recover rapidly, with only one appearing unsettled, glancing over there.
Whoosh, whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sense of lethal danger surged forth.
Who among the Demon Sect disciples hadn’t emerged from bloodbaths? In terms of adaptability in combat, if not unmatched, they were definitely competent; as the word "traitor" flashed in his mind, he instinctively patted his chest.
Immediately, Essence Blood spewed out, and bones rapidly grew out from within the flesh, momentum soaring instantly, breaking through from Early to Late Stage Foundation Establishment.
This wasn’t over.
Exploding completely, recklessly, with severe repercussions, able to block an Early Stage Golden Core strike and fight Foundation Establishment Perfection.
This was the Demon Dao’s way.
No, it was wrong, because it was already over.
His real methods hadn’t even been unleashed.
But his body paused involuntarily, head going blank for an instant.
Then two talismans had already shot out.
Small Knife launched a Spirit Talisman, and from behind, his personal space split open, releasing two more.
All three were Spirit Talismans made from Giant Dragon Hide.
Their quality was average, but each had the power of the Early Stage Fourth Realm, equivalent to one strike of a Golden Core.
Therefore, this Demon Heaven Outer Disciple was directly hit and shattered into pieces.
A Golden Core Early Stage Spirit Talisman; the awe of the dragon.
A Golden Core Early Stage Spirit Talisman: Ice Freeze Technique.
A Golden Core Early Stage Spirit Talisman: Golden Shattering Storm.
Thus, this Outer Disciple was directly shattered.
Who knows if, by unleashing his full potential, he could survive under these three Spirit Talismans?
But there’s no point in pondering it.
He wasn’t given the chance to explode.
Small Knife could stealthily approach, naturally due to ample resources, having used a Golden Core Early Stage Concealing Breath Talisman and Invisibility Talisman.
Moreover, all of this Outer Disciple’s attention was initially on the Town Lord’s Mansion, and later on the Demonic Treasure.
He had overlooked his surroundings.
It wasn’t that he was careless.
Because when the outside array was lifted, these four array hubs formed small arrays, with his core here at the center, the four directions encircling from all around.
Even a Golden Core Early Stage powerhouse couldn’t infiltrate amidst the arrays presided over by the other four.
If someone stronger came, such trouble wouldn’t be needed to deal with him.
Thus, when the thought of a traitor crossed his mind, he knew someone among the Demon Servants had defected, letting the enemy in.
With the death of this Demon Cultivator, the other Demon Servants around him, those at the Qi Cultivation level, the three Foundation Establishment at the four array hubs, were caught off guard, spurting blood simultaneously and collapsing dead on the ground.
