Chapter 1140: Chapter 1137: On the Verge of Danger Chapter 1140: Chapter 1137: On the Verge of Danger “Huff”

A flash of green light appeared above Shen Luo and the Demonic Being, turning into a verdant pillar of light that pierced downward, striking the creature.

The Demonic Being, which had just leaped into the air, was suddenly pinned down by the green light and heavily smashed onto the ground.

“Boom”

The ground trembled violently as the continuous beam of green light relentlessly suppressed the Demonic Being, rendering it completely unable to rise.

Shen Luo followed the column of light upwards and saw a huge rune Array that had previously been hidden in the darkness now flickering with green light on the dome above.

He immediately realized that this rune Array was the suppression Array of the first floor of the Martial God Altar.

Once a Demonic Being of significant cultivation level entered this layer, the Array would activate on its own, unleashing its mighty power to suppress them.

The Demonic Being, pinned down by the green pillar of light, constantly let out a low, raspy roar as it struggled in vain.

However, the Array's power left no room for resistance, and even when it exploded with True Immortal level strength, it still could not break free.

Shen Luo's heart leaped with joy as he held the Pure Yang Flying Sword in his hand, preparing to move forward to kill it, only to find that the creature's breath was rapidly declining.

He was surprised and, before he could understand what was happening, he saw that more and more black Demonic Qi was spilling out from the creature, only to be extinguished by the green light.

Its own breath was also weakening continuously, and it fell from the True Immortal Realm all the way down to the Great Mahayana Peak.

The pillar of light from the suppression Array was also gradually shrinking until it disappeared altogether.

“What's going on?” Shen Luo was a bit stunned.

The Demonic Being lying on the ground had its back almost broken by the pillar, leaving a blood-red Big Hole that sent chills down one's spine, with dark red and black flesh squirming and entwining inside, rapidly healing the wound.

Within moments, the creature's back had already healed as if nothing had happened, and it got up from the ground and gave Shen Luo a grimacing smile.

“Could it be that this Great Formation only suppresses Demonic Beings above the True Immortal level?” Shen Luo guessed in his mind.

If that was really the case, Shen Luo didn't know whether he should be happy or upset at the moment.

Just then, the Void in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and the Demonic Being disappeared again.

But this time, Shen Luo was well-prepared, and the creature no longer moved silently as it did when it was at the True Immortal realm, allowing him to instantly detect its movement.

Without turning around, Shen Luo released the Pure Yang Flying Sword from his hand, which shot out from under his armpit, stabbing upward at a slant.

The Demonic Being was diving down from above and behind Shen Luo, employing the same trick as before, its arm transformed into a Crimson streak resembling a blade, aiming to cleave down towards the back of Shen Luo's head.

Seeing the Pure Yang Flying Sword shooting towards it, the creature's blade-hand altered its trajectory to block the flying sword.

Upon impact, they produced a clanging sound, and sparks flew everywhere.

The Pure Yang Flying Sword continued its forward momentum unchanged but was slightly deflected by the creature's blade, grazing past the creature's neck and flying outward.

With its arm-turned-blade already committed to an unchangeable path, it definitively could not continue its strike towards Shen Luo.

However, as the creature's blade couldn't change course, its other arm reached forward eerily, turning its palm into a spearhead of blood-red atop a Black Spear, lunging straight for Shen Luo's back.

But with the delay just now, Shen Luo had already adjusted his stance, twisting his body abruptly and gripping the Profound Yellow Staff tightly in his hand. With power accumulating, he unleashed a sweeping blow.

The Huangting Technique coursed wildly through his veins, the Profound Yellow Staff immediately lit up with golden light, and slammed heavily upon the Demonic Being's spear, causing its arms to tremble and its body to be hurled backward in flight.

Shen Luo's own arms numbed as well, feeling the massive recoil.

Fortunately, the Profound Yellow Staff vibrated intensely for a moment, dissipating the majority of that force.

As the Demonic Being flew backward, trying to stabilize itself, a sword cry came from behind it.

The Pure Yang Flying Sword blazed with crimson flames, its tip emitting an extremely long sword light that slashed downward, tracing a fiery red line through the void, burning fiercely as it fell.

The Demonic Being raised its arms above its head, the long knife and black spear crossed to meet the descending Pure Yang Burning Sword.

“Clang.”

A sharp clang resounded as the sword edge struck heavily, causing the Demonic Being to plummet from midair, arms scorching with Red Lotus Karmic Fire, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The ground trembled thunderously from the impact, but the Demonic Being appeared to have not suffered critical damage, for it rose from the ground soon after.

It cocked its head, watching Shen Luo for a moment, as if it felt the guy before it was different from the Divine Wood Clan people it had fought before.

At that time, its arms began to morph, the long knife and spear transforming into two curved knives.

Its legs began to undergo a strange change as well, with its lower legs growing longer than the thighs and contracting into slender shapes, no longer resembling human legs but more akin to those of certain beasts.

Then, its stature suddenly dropped significantly, and with a powerful push from its legs, it shot forward like a shadow, instantly appearing in front of Shen Luo.

Shen Luo had no time to react. The Profound Yellow Staff he held wasn't even ready to block when he heard the sound of something sharp passing over his chest.

Immediately after, he felt a tremendous force compressing his chest, hurling him violently through the air.

As his body flew backward in midair, he caught a glimpse of a shadow moving beside him; the Demonic Being was already waiting behind him, arms weaving its dual blades, poised to slice him into three pieces.

Shen Luo of course wouldn't let this happen. In the critical moment, he reversed his long stick and thrust backward with a Backwards Spear Thrust.

As the long stick lunged, it appeared straightforward, but as it vibrated with the rotations of Shen Luo's arms, it was, in fact, deploying the Splashy Chaotic Stick technique.

A series of long stick afterimages swiftly formed, surrounding Shen Luo, and stopping his backward momentum.

Suspended in midair, Shen Luo stabilized his posture, and upon inspecting himself, discovered a gash about a foot long on the front of his Jiuli Devil Armor, which, while not pierced through, had been torn open on the surface.

At the same time, one-third of the Demonic Qi previously contained in the devil armor had been depleted.

This meant that against an attack of the same intensity as the Demonic Being's previous strike, Shen Luo's Jiuli Devil Armor could only withstand at most two more such blows.

If hit a third time, it was highly likely to be cleaved open by the blade, potentially injuring his body as well.

Shen Luo's expression turned grave as he gripped the Profound Yellow Staff with one hand, pointing it at the Demonic Being.

Seeing this, the Demonic Being kicked off the ground, hurtling forward at once. It swung its dual blades rapidly, with blade lights dancing and flickering out, layer upon layer as dense as falling snowflakes.

Shen Luo dared not to take it lightly, maneuvering the Splashy Chaotic Stick at extreme speed, innumerable stick shadows crisscrossing through the air, colliding with the blade lights everywhere.

While the Splashy Chaotic Stick technique was indeed superior, the Demonic Being's cultivation and strength were a notch higher, as one blade light could often sever two, even three stick shadows, showing signs it might break through the stick technique of the Splashy Chaotic Stick.
