The Core Formation Elder Chen in the sky above the formation naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.
At this moment, he activated a round bead, and a strong blood-black light burst forth from it, accompanied by a series of 'pu pu pu' sounds. As the bead rotated, it transformed into a mass of black-red mist.
"Go!"
Elder Chen uttered in a low voice, and the black-red mist shot towards the earth-armored beast within the formation. Its speed was remarkable, and in mid-air, the mist transformed into a black venomous snake, coiling around the yellow whirlwind formed by the earth-armored beast.
Instantly, yellow and black lights intertwined, accompanied by sizzling, bubbling sounds. The intense black-red light seemed to want to devour the earth-armored beast.
The earth-armored beast within the yellow wind sensed the danger. The yellow light on its massive body contracted, followed by a piercing screech.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the yellow light on the earth-armored beast exploded, forming numerous wind blades that tore the black-red mist into countless fragments. The earth-armored beast's true form appeared, and it roared towards the sky. Yellow light团s (团 means 'lumps' or '团s') once again condensed around its body, and with a whoosh, they struck towards the air where Elder Chen was located.
Simultaneously, a whistling wind sound formed around its body again, crashing towards the formation's spiritual light.
But as soon as it flew off the ground, the black-red mist that had just been scattered transformed into black-red tentacles, pulling the beast back to the ground. The tentacles danced wildly, enveloping a small portion of the earth-armored beast's body.
A high-level demonic beast naturally wouldn't be trapped so easily. With a roar, the earth-armored beast's eyes turned scarlet, and it quickly shook its body. Instantly, a layer of spiritual light shone on its scales. The next moment, countless scales shot out like flying knives, instantly tearing apart the black-red mist wrapped around its body.
The scales were incredibly powerful. After dispersing the tentacles, their power didn't diminish as they struck towards the surrounding formation's light screen.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling's expression turned grim, and he hurriedly increased his mana output. In an instant, dozens of rays of light flashed, followed by a series of explosions.
When he looked at the earth-armored beast again, it had disappeared without a trace.
However, Zhang Ling quickly scanned with his divine sense and discovered a loud crash coming from above the formation. Under the formation's light screen, black and yellow lights shone brightly. The earth-armored beast had transformed into a whirlwind, constantly crashing into the upper part of the formation.
"Hmph, courting death."
Elder Chen snorted coldly, quickly forming hand seals. Instantly, the bead in his hand glowed brightly, and streams of black mist flew out. The black mist then condensed into a spiritual light giant hand, several dozen feet in size, and grabbed fiercely towards the earth-armored beast.
Seeing the spiritual light hand, Zhang Ling cried out in his heart. This was the "Spirit Condensation Technique," a spell that only high-level cultivators could master.
This spell could use pure spiritual power to condense various attack methods, whether it was a spiritual light hand, a flying sword, or even a demonic beast illusion. Although none of them were real, their power was considerable.
The spiritual light hand and the demonic beast transformed whirlwind were locked in a stalemate.
The Elder Chen in the sky looked serious, flicked his sleeve, and a green short knife, about an inch long, appeared before him.
Looking at the flying knife, his expression became more serious. Elder Chen spat out two mouthfuls of essence blood onto the green flying knife. Instantly, the flying knife shook a few times and turned blood-red. He raised his hand and waved, and the flying knife disappeared in a flash.
After spitting out essence blood, Elder Chen's face also turned pale, showing that he had consumed a lot of energy.
The next moment, with a crisp 'ding-dang' sound, an explosion came from the yellow whirlwind under the spiritual light hand, and then the earth armor appeared and fell to the ground. At this moment, a bright red, blood-like flying knife was stuck in the beast's neck.
The short knife had now transformed into a blood-colored long knife.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elder Chen snorted coldly, and a yellow light giant hand, about three zhang in size, shook and slapped the earth-armored beast on the ground.
Awoo!
The earth-armored beast roared angrily, shook its head a few times, and forced out the blood knife on its neck. At this moment, the beast's eyes were bloodshot, obviously enraged.
The earth-armored beast opened its mouth and spewed out a layer of yellow mist, instantly covering the entire space of the formation.
"Evil creature, die!"
Elder Chen snorted and released several streams of black-red mist, condensing them into black-red long snakes that rushed into the formation.
Instantly, a bright red light shone in the yellow mist, and a yellow figure constantly shuttled through it, occasionally accompanied by an angry roar.
Suddenly, a series of harsh sounds arose.
A huge black ball rushed out of the mist. This ball was five or six zhang in size, like a boulder, and crashed into the formation's light screen above in a flash.
With a loud bang, the entire light screen trembled a few times, and visible cracks appeared in the area that was hit.
Elder Chen was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back. A fierce look flashed across his face, and with a thought, a flash of blood-red light appeared in the mist. The blood-colored long knife attacked.
But at this moment, the blood knife hit the huge ball, and its spiritual light flashed, blocking these attacks.
The ball rotated and collided continuously, causing the formation's light to flicker on and off.
Zhang Ling and the others also turned pale, and involuntarily increased their control over the formation plate.
Elder Chen's face darkened, and then he spat out a circle of earthy yellow essence energy. This spiritual power was only a strand or two, but the spiritual power wrapped around his finger and transformed into several white runes.
The runes flowed and shook a few times, and in a dazzling spiritual light, they transformed into countless tiny white light spots. These light spots were very small, like grains of white sand.
"Go!"
Elder Chen roared, and the white sand flowed like water, instantly enveloping the earth-armored beast's ball. A series of muffled sounds came from within.
After a few breaths, the yellow and white lights in the ball in mid-air shone brightly, sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking.
