Chapter 296: Chapter 178: Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon, Life and Death Calamity! _2
"No way, did it really succeed?"
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Jiang is also an Array Master?"
Ma Zhong Mountain and others were overjoyed. They only tried it, never expecting it to actually succeed.
Clearly, the understanding of arrays of this young Foundation Establishment Cultivator had already reached Tier Three Level.
Otherwise, how could he have so easily found the flaw in the Inverted Five Elements Array?
Liu Zimo’s face, however, looked very unpleasant.
His greatest value was as a Tier Two Array Master.
But now the contributions of this young man far exceeded his own.
If they really got some treasure in the cave mansion, he wouldn’t get a share at all.
"No, I’m not an Array Master."
"I just know a little bit about arrays."
Jiang Fan waved his hand.
He indeed was not an Array Master; he was merely taking advantage of a loophole.
If it weren’t for the ’Emperor’s Gaze’, he wouldn’t have been able to see the flaw in this Tier Three Array.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang is modest."
"Without deep knowledge of arrays, one could not achieve this."
"Although I would love to discuss array matters with you,"
"for now, we should enter this Golden Core Cave Mansion and then talk after acquiring the treasures inside."
Ma Zhong Mountain urged, eager to looting it inside earlier.
After all, previously, the Tier Three Array blocked him from entering.
Now, with the array gone, the cave is theirs for the taking!
Hearing this, Qi Yongqing, Liu Zimo, and Bi Yan City all nodded in unison.
For them, the most important thing was naturally the treasures within the Golden Core Cave Mansion.
Other things could wait to be discussed later.
Each of them was extremely excited, ready to step inside the cave mansion.
Boom~~~
But at this moment, a thick black demonic qi suddenly gushed out from inside the cave mansion.
It was so black one couldn’t see the bottom.
The surrounding temperature dropped drastically, and frost immediately formed on the ground.
Everyone shivered uncontrollably, as if the cold penetrated their bones.
"Haha, I’ve finally come out."
"Thank you for releasing me."
"So let me see you all off as well."
A sinister voice echoed from inside the cave mansion, directly penetrating into the depths of Ma Zhong Mountain and others’ minds.
At this moment, a black fog emerged from inside, revealing a demon creature.
"Damn, it’s the Heart-breaking Demon."
"It’s over, this isn’t a Golden Core Cave Mansion but a place sealing demons."
"Run, we are no match for the Heart-breaking Demon."
Witnessing this scene, Ma Zhong Mountain and others turned pale, like ashes.
They initially thought it was a Golden Core Zhenren’s cave mansion, possibly containing many treasures.
Who would have thought it actually sealed a demon inside?
And it was the renowned Heart-breaking Demon.
The Heart-breaking Demon, as rumored, is a special type of demon, formless and bodiless, skilled in soul attacks.
Once it appears, it can destroy and devour the soul of countless cultivators.
Hence, the Heart-breaking Demon is one that everyone seeks to eliminate.
The problem is, dealing with them isn’t easy.
Without means to restrain them, encountering a Heart-breaking Demon almost spells certain death.
Thus, upon seeing the Heart-breaking Demon appear, Ma Zhong Mountain and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were scared witless.
They had no courage to resist at all and immediately wanted to run.
Sadly, even if they wished to escape now, it was too late.
Rumble~~
In an instant, the Heart-breaking Demon struck, sending a terrifying soul wave to sweep through, covering all directions.
It even caused ripples in the void, directly striking Ma Zhong Mountain and others.
"This, this!"
Ma Zhong Mountain and others widened their eyes, unable even to take a step away, this horrifying Soul Shock force penetrated their defenses, striking their souls.
At this moment, their eyes, mouth, nose, and other parts bled profusely.
Their soul shattered instantly.
They died on the spot.
They had no power to resist against the Heart-breaking Demon’s might.
They were crushed like chickens.
"Uh, I seem okay."
Jiang Fan was naturally also struck by this soul force, but when the Heart-breaking Demon’s power suddenly exploded, the Ancient Demon-Vibrating Bell on him immediately lit up.
An invisible wave of energy emerged from it, enveloping his body.
It was as if a giant bell shielded his body.
The soul power from the Heart-breaking Demon struck it and was instantly devoured by the Demon-Vibrating Bell.
Therefore, to Jiang Fan, it was like a breeze, leaving him unscathed.
"How is it possible? There’s actually a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who can withstand my attack?"
"Do you have a soul defense type magical treasure?"
The Heart-breaking Demon was smug, ready to devour the shattered souls of this group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but it quickly discovered that one of them hadn’t died.
No, not just surviving, but seemingly unscathed.
As if its attack had no effect on this cultivator.
"Master, the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire on you can counter the Heart-breaking Demon."
"Killing the Heart-breaking Demon is like slaughtering chickens."
"This Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon is in a severely wounded state and has not restored its full strength."
"Now is the perfect time to kill it."
"If it restores its full strength, killing it will be far from easy."
At this moment, the Demon-Vibrating Bell transmitted sound to Jiang Fan.
Evidently, it was an expert on dealing with demons, very knowledgeable about the Heart-breaking Demon’s power and weaknesses.
Boom~~
Hearing this, Jiang Fan naturally didn’t hesitate and activated the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire Talisman deep within his Elixir Field and Sea of Qi.
He knew his Cyan Lotus Earth Fire Talisman had reached Mastery Level Skill.
Thus, he could activate this Life Talisman with extreme speed, and its power was more than doubled compared to before.
Whoosh~~
The next second, he flicked his finger gently, a cluster of cyan flame condensed into a fire bullet, with a lotus flower pattern on it, containing unfathomable power, burning fiercely, emitting boundless power.
Immediately, the power of the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire erupted violently, shooting towards the Heart-breaking Demon.
"Wait, is that the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire?!"
"How can you, a human cultivator, master such an Anomalous Fire?"
"Are you here specifically to ambush me?"
The Heart-breaking Demon screamed, utterly horrified.
Even at its peak, it would shy away from Cyan Lotus Earth Fire.
Not to mention, now it was extremely weak, even less able to withstand this special Anomalous Fire.
But unfortunately, it was too late for it to flee now.
The moment Jiang Fan made his move, the fire bullet already shot at the Heart-breaking Demon.
Boom~~
Instantly, the power of the Cyan Lotus Earth Fire struck the Heart-breaking Demon, terrifying flames ignited.
It was as if fire hit gasoline, and it was instantly ignited.
The surrounding demonic qi was also burned.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The Heart-breaking Demon couldn’t help but emit a wretched scream, as if it was undergoing the ten major tortures.
This pain was indescribable.
Due to the extreme pain, it couldn’t utter any threats or curses.
In just a moment, the Heart-breaking Demon was burned to ashes.
"Well killed."
"That damn Heart-breaking Demon even dared to plague the world, what a dream."
The Demon-Vibrating Bell shouted, feeling very pleased.
Although it hadn’t fully acknowledged Jiang Fan’s existence yet, if it was for slaying demons, it was willing to contribute all its powers because it was born to hunt demons.
"So, this was the Death Tribulation?"
At this moment, Jiang Fan looked at Ma Zhong Mountain and others who had fallen to the ground, completely lifeless.
Initially, each of them was high-spirited, eager to enter the Golden Core Cave Mansion to seize opportunities.
Who would have thought it was a trap?
Inside was sealed a Tier Three Heart-breaking Demon.
The moment they broke the Restriction Array, it was their death time.
In just a face-off moment, Ma Zhong Mountain and others were killed by the Heart-breaking Demon.
Even Jiang Fan couldn’t react in time.
Let alone having the chance to help them.
