Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Centered around a small mound, a black array with black smoke soaring into the sky, trapped the entire area within a range of five hundred meters.

Inside the array, black smoke filled the air, making it so thick that one could not see their own fingers, and the intense, cold Qi confused all senses.

Everyone felt as though they were lost in a miniature world, blundering around, trying every possible way to escape, but in vain.

If there were an expert familiar with Taoist skills here, they would notice a strange scene.

Although only a meter apart, two people couldn’t notice each other and roamed around in circles on their own.

Outside the black array, stood an old man in a disreputable black Armani suit.

The old man’s face bore a twisted smile. Behind him, stood a zombie, dressed in Qing Dynasty official attire.

Looking at the group of Ancient Martial cultivators trapped in the array, Elder Huo sinisterly smiled, "Hehe... Greedy fools, thinking of laying hands on the thousand-year-old ginseng meant for my use. Measure your own worth! Hmph, This thousand-year-old ginseng is reserved for my breakthrough to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment; how could you trash possibly get involved! Hehe, with you trash as nutrients, the power of my Five Sons United Demon will increase by another level, giving me the power to fight even those at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

After speaking, Elder Huo took out a small black bell from his pocket and shook it twice.

The zombie, following the swing of the black bell, marched boldly towards the black array.

In a flash, the zombie entered the black array.

The rigid corpse’s palm aimed at an Ancient Martial cultivator’s head and struck down.

This Ancient Martial cultivator, without any chance to react, was killed by the zombie’s palm strike, his blood and flesh scattering all over the ground, absorbed by the array, flying towards the sinister entity beneath the mound.

Just then, a small paper crane flew out of the woods, coldly glanced at the black array, then at the disreputable old man outside the array, and perched on the treetop.

Deep within the woods.

"Hehe! Finally made your move? I have been waiting for you a long time; you better not disappoint me," Zhang Xiaohao coldly chuckled with a gleam in his eyes.

With hand signs formed, he cast a spell and bellowed authoritatively, "Activate the Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Array!"

As his words fell, the Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Array rapidly began to operate.

The Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Array erupted with a powerful suction force, drawing the essence of blood from the Chaotic Tomb Mound through the air.

Innumerable drops of blood essence, forcefully extracted by the Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Array, flew out from the black array, shooting rapidly towards his direction.

"Damn it! Who is the bastard stabbing me in the back and stealing the fruits of my victory? I swear! Whoever you are, daring to target me, I will kill you!" Elder Huo roared ferociously.

Seeing the essence of blood in the black array rapidly being sucked away by the opponent, Elder Huo was furious, but he could not spare the effort to deal with Zhang Xiaohao, painfully throwing over a dozen spirit-crystal-like treasures from his pocket.

His hand signs flicked, rapidly inputting seals into the black array in an attempt to stabilize it.

Elder Huo’s face grew increasingly ugly; although he tried his best to stabilize the array, the power of the opponent’s array was too strong, so strong that he could only defend.

"Bastard! I will tear your body into pieces and flay your skin! I will extract your soul to craft puppets and curse you to never transcend!" Elder Huo roared furiously.

A dry palm grabbed at his chest, clutching a black Soul Summoning Banner.

Violently shaking it, the Soul Summoning Banner emitted strange sounds, almost like a particular kind of musical note.

Five color-drained youths, unconscious, quickly emerged as the banner was shaken, standing in front of Elder Huo.

"You five, go to the forest ahead and kill the person setting up the array! And bring his corpse back," Elder Huo coldly ordered.

"Yes!" The Five Sons United Demon mechanically responded, then leaped forward, rushing into the dense forest with a burst of Evil Qi. Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Using a paper crane’s eyes, Zhang Xiaohao saw all this happen.

"Damned scum! Using children to craft the Five Sons United Demon; so, the Demon Queen must be buried under the mound. Once she crafts the Demon Queen and combines her with these five demons, they will be formidable opponents within their realm! Absolutely unforgivable!" Zhang Xiaohao said furiously.

A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes as he bit his index finger again.

With a roar, Zhang Xiaohao deployed the Three Pure Daoist Skill, "Hurry up and obey the order, I, the seventy-second generation successor of the Three Pure Dao Ancestors, borrow the power from heaven and earth! Bloodthirsty Devouring Spirit Array, double the power!"

With a hand seal and a sudden flip forward, the suction power from the Bloodthirsty Devouring Spirit Array doubled again.

Countless droplets of essence blood flew from the chaotic burial mound, absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Array, infusing into the Yin Pearl in the air.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

A series of rapid footsteps sounded. The Five Sons United Demon leaped from five directions, claws swirling, aiming for Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

"Hmph! Their souls have been demonized, losing their right to reincarnate. Living in this world, you only cause harm! Though not by choice, it is unforgivable! Tonight, I will grant you redemption by disarming your souls!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

"Sky Flipping Seal!" With a leap into the air, Zhang Xiaohao descended from above towards the ground and bellowed, while violently slapping his right palm forward.

A huge golden palm seal trapped the approaching Five Sons United Demon and brutally smashed into them.

With a ripping sound!

A massive palm print was directly imprinted on the ground, instantly annihilating the Five Sons United Demon.

Having dealt with the Five Sons United Demon, Zhang Xiaohao’s killing intent surged around him. With a tap of his foot, he rushed to the chaotic burial mound, employing the Twelve Heavenly Steps.

With the destruction of the Five Sons United Demon, Elder Huo, as their master, suffered a mental blow, immediately spitting out blood and collapsing to the ground.

"Damn it! Who is it? Who has destroyed my Five Sons United Demon? I swear, I will dismember you into a thousand pieces to soothe this hatred in my heart!" Elder Huo roared menacingly.

"Is that so? I have already arrived, right behind you." Zhang Xiaohao’s figure flashed, standing there casually with his arms crossed.

"Ah! Show yourself! Stop playing tricks back there!" Elder Huo startled, instinctively turned around, and looked back at Zhang Xiaohao with apprehension.

"I ask you, where is the Thousand-year-old Ginseng?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"Ha ha! So, you’re here for the Thousand-year-old Ginseng as well. Want to know? Beg me! If you beg me, I’ll tell you!" Elder Huo laughed triumphantly.
