Chapter 1411: The Mystic Power of the Tide-raising Horseshoe Crab

The Sky-Eye Butterfly could assist in analyzing formations, so Qin Sang walked at the forefront, ready to promptly respond to any changes in the Thousand Buddha Wall and the Scarlet Flame's power.

He volunteered for the task.

Valley Master Mu and the others were pleased with this arrangement.

In front of the Thousand Buddha Wall, Qin Sang was the first to enter the rift, his figure almost merging with the Buddha's light and the Scarlet Flame's aura.

Directly behind Qin Sang was Valley Master Mu. He was a step slower, and following Qin Sang's guidance, he wielded the serpent spear to help clear a path.

Qi and Wang brought up the rear, fending off the strange winds.

At this very moment, the long-scheming Old Demon of Chaos and Precept Master finally made their move.

The atmosphere solidified.

Qin Sang was the first to sense danger. His thunderous shout made Valley Master Mu and the other two tense up, their expressions changing.

Immediately after, Valley Master Mu's spiritual sense also detected something amiss.

But it was still a step slower than the Sky-Eye Butterfly.

Meanwhile, Qi and Wang both looked bewildered.

They had long suspected Nine Precepts, and since entering the formation, they had never relaxed their vigilance, using various methods to investigate and prevent anyone from harboring ill intentions.

This spiritual formation was very peculiar, likely a secret transmission of the Buddhist sect. Not only them, but probably only a handful of cultivators in the entire North Sea had ever heard of it.

In such a spiritual formation, the possibility of someone tracking them was minuscule.

Therefore, after confirming no anomalies, they focused most of their energy on deciphering the spiritual formation.

They never expected that someone could truly use the power of the spiritual formation to evade their perception!

At the same time, a soft exclamation was heard.

In the void, with the help of the Nine Precepts ring, Old Demon of Chaos and Precept Master silently approached, leveraging the formation's power.

Hearing Qin Sang's shout, Old Demon of Chaos's cloudy eyes subtly turned, fixing on Qin Sang, a glint of sharpness flashing in the depths of his gaze.

Precept Master, on the other hand, felt a surge of tension.

The time of their exposure was unexpectedly faster than anticipated!

They had already taken precautions, but it seemed they had underestimated the opponent's detection methods.

According to their original plan, they would wait until Qin Sang and the others passed through the rift, when their energy was focused on dealing with the Buddha's light and Scarlet Flame impact, then quietly approach and launch a sudden attack, easily eliminating their opponents.

Who would have thought that a venerable Grand Cultivator would also resort to sneak attacks, showing such a lack of propriety?

The plan had changed.

Old Demon of Chaos's expression remained impassive, showing no hint of panic. He powerfully tapped his black bamboo staff.

There was no longer any need to conceal themselves.

'Puff!'

The strange winds swirled.

A black light shot out like a sharp arrow, fully revealing the powerful aura of a Grand Cultivator.

"Late Nascent Soul! Old Demon of Chaos!"

That name flashed quickly through Qin Sang's mind.

The most renowned Grand Cultivator in the Boundless Sea, Old Demon of Chaos!

Qin Sang had only recently heard about the infamous Old Demon of Chaos at the Nine Stars Gathering; he hadn't expected to encounter him so soon.

Chaos Demon Island and Ethereal Sea were far apart.

It wasn't surprising to Qin Sang that the Ethereal Sea's phenomenon had alerted Old Demon of Chaos. Their haste in breaking through the formation was precisely due to their concern that Old Demon of Chaos and other masters would appear and interfere.

He couldn't believe he had arrived so quickly!

'Crack!'

A dull thud.

To Qi and Wang's horror, the tassel-like light shield conjured by the Thousand-Pattern Armor was easily pierced by a strange black bamboo staff.

At this moment, Qin Sang's shout still echoed in their minds.

They were wielding the Thousand-Pattern Armor to resist the strange winds and had not expected to be ambushed here.

Old Demon of Chaos's movements were too fast. Even with Qin Sang's warning, they had no time to maneuver the Thousand-Pattern Armor's main body to block the black bamboo staff.

The tassel-like protective light shield conjured by the magic treasure now appeared extremely flimsy and was instantly torn apart.

However, Qi and Wang were Nascent Soul cultivators after all.

Their shock did not affect their judgment.

The cultivator surnamed Qi hastily urged his spiritual sword.

But the sight that followed made his eyes almost burst from their sockets, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

"Dodge!"

'Thwack!'

A roar and a dull thud sounded simultaneously.

As the black bamboo staff broke through the Thousand-Pattern Armor, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted.

Upon closer inspection, it was a string of Buddhist beads, hidden behind the black bamboo staff, seizing the opportunity to attack.

There were nine beads, their surface rough and bumpy, appearing to be refined from the pits of some spiritual fruit, almost ugly, yet it was a Buddhist treasure.

The power it exuded was supremely firm and potent, overwhelmingly fierce!

Its target was precisely the female cultivator surnamed Wang's back!

The Buddhist beads were Precept Master's treasure.

His coordination with Old Demon of Chaos was extremely subtle. The chosen breakthrough point was the female cultivator surnamed Wang, who had the lowest cultivation.

The female cultivator surnamed Wang had no time to react. She was struck squarely in the back by the Buddhist beads, her bones shattered, spitting blood, her aura instantly weakening, and the light in her eyes visibly fading.

Just then, a flash of light appeared on the female cultivator surnamed Wang's crown, and her Nascent Soul suddenly leaped out, looking around bewilderedly.

She didn't even understand what kind of opponent she had encountered, helplessly watching her shattered physical body, carried by the string of Buddhist beads, smash towards the cultivator surnamed Qi.

Precept Master completely ignored her Nascent Soul, going directly for the cultivator surnamed Qi.

Her situation was even more perilous than her companion's.

Clearly, Old Demon of Chaos had long anticipated this scene. After the black bamboo staff broke through the Thousand-Pattern Armor, he aimed directly at her crown.

At this moment, the tip of the black bamboo staff carried a concentrated, yet unscattered, black glow, just inches away from the female cultivator surnamed Wang's Nascent Soul!

It seemed the female cultivator surnamed Wang's Nascent Soul was about to be shattered by the black bamboo staff, with no time even to teleport.

However, Old Demon of Chaos's true target was not the female cultivator surnamed Wang.

A mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was not worth his attention.

What truly caused him to scheme so meticulously and make these plans were Qin Sang and Valley Master Mu.

'Whoosh!'

The black bamboo staff sliced through the air, as if casually sweeping past. Old Demon of Chaos didn't spare a glance for Qi and Wang, charging directly towards Qin Sang and Valley Master Mu!

At this very moment, Qin Sang had just entered the rift, with the scarlet-gold light pressing in from both sides. The Buddha's light and Scarlet Flame's aura were just drawing near, leaving Qin Sang in a dilemma, caught between advancing and retreating.

Old Demon of Chaos had chosen the perfect moment to attack.

Fortunately, Valley Master Mu was a step behind.

And Qin Sang had detected Old Demon of Chaos's presence in advance, buying them precious time.

Valley Master Mu, a seasoned warrior, received Qin Sang's warning and realized the enemy could only attack from behind. The most vulnerable were not him and Qin Sang, but Qi and Wang.

Yet, even with an accurate assessment, he still couldn't prevent the female cultivator surnamed Wang's physical body from being destroyed.

Valley Master Mu saw his companion's desperate situation, his face filled with shock and fury. A blue light flashed in his Dantian, and the Tidal Horseshoe Crab swam forth.

Wherever the Tidal Horseshoe Crab passed, the void seemed to spontaneously form a pool of water.

Its body hovered before Valley Master Mu. Its sword-like tail suddenly swayed, and a dense blue light erupted, pointing remotely at the female cultivator surnamed Wang's Nascent Soul.

The next moment, a blue light wall suddenly appeared out of thin air around the female cultivator surnamed Wang's Nascent Soul, like a bubble, enclosing her within it.

'Bang!'

In an instant, the black bamboo staff swept over.

The Tidal Horseshoe Crab let out a wail. The bubble was shattered by the black bamboo staff, countless fragments flying in all directions, but it bought the female cultivator surnamed Wang a chance to escape.

The female cultivator surnamed Wang, her face filled with terror, instinctively teleported tens of feet away, finally avoiding the black bamboo staff's impact and escaping death by a hair's breadth.
