Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 143 - 70: Assault on the Demon Stronghold, Immune to All Skill

Chapter 143: Chapter 70: Assault on the Demon Stronghold, Immune to All Skill

Gu Yao, Tang An, and He Dongyu, a few squad leaders, were overjoyed as they thought about how they could assist the team. Over here, Hu Qingfeng cleared his throat and said:

"Captain, I have a way to guarantee success."

Su Yu turned around and saw him take out an item.

His gaze fell on the item, and upon seeing its properties, he was momentarily stunned, then delighted:

"Wow, do we really have something this good?"

Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul Suppression Talisman (Earth Immortal): Handwritten by an Earth Immortal True Monarch, it can suppress demons, ghosts, and monsters for the duration of a stick of incense.

Su Yu asked in shock:

"Where did you get something this good?"

Hu Qingfeng chuckled:

"My dad’s treasured possession!"

"Great!"

Su Yu gave a thumbs up.

It was both a compliment to this great item and praise for Hu Qingfeng’s cleverness and decisiveness.

He had talked about this with the five squad leaders earlier, yet only Hu Qingfeng had taken actual action, taking advantage of a task to go home and fetch this treasure back.

With this thing, victory in this battle was finally within reach.

Su Yu immediately gathered everyone and began to assign tasks.

"Later, use the Immortal Talisman to seal the Demon King, then Squadron Two will use the 108 All Heaven Fiery Banners to set up the All Heaven Fiery Array to trap the first demon general, Squadron Three will use 108 Celestial One Profound Ice Banners to set up the Celestial One Profound Ice Array to trap the second demon general, Squadron One and Squadron Four will unite to surround and kill the remaining leaders and demon soldiers, and Squadron Five will act as a reserve force to intercept potential enemies and provide support at any time."

He then looked at Wei Xia and said:

"You guys follow Squadron Four first to take out all the small leaders and demon soldiers, and then look at the situation to support other teams."

Wei Xia frowned and asked:

"Who’s going to deal with the third demon general?"

Su Yu grinned:

"Me."

"Can you handle a demon general by yourself?"

Su Yu chuckled, patting his waist as a blue flash appeared, and a flood dragon, entirely blue and jade-like and extremely beautiful, flew out. It circled once in the air, then coiled on his shoulder, its tail sweeping affectionately across his chest.

Wei Xia slapped his forehead, laughing:

"I forgot you have a Flood Dragon Spirit Pet. No problem then."

Five minutes later, everyone was ready. Su Yu summoned the Cyan Sparrow to rush to the mountain peak. The Great White Ape King, with its keen senses, raised its head and spoke in human language:

"Human, you come again seeking death?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Su Yu said nothing and activated the Nine Heavens Capital Seal Soul Suppression Talisman, white light soaring into the sky and exploding, from which emerged a phantom of the Heaven-Reaching Daoist. With a pointed finger, endless flowing lights gathered towards the Great White Ape King.

The Demon King’s face showed shock as it prepared to resist, but in the next second, it lost consciousness, hands lowering, sitting upright on the ground as if asleep.

"The Demon King is suppressed, duration of a stick of incense, act immediately."

Su Yu pointed with a finger, the Cyan Sparrow Sword Light shattered the sky and flew towards the mountain peak, targeting a White Wolf Demon General he marked as the third demon general, who, with similarly keen senses, punched downward.

"Boom!"

A conical energy burst with a diameter over a hundred meters; his mind willed the Cyan Sparrow Flying Sword to fly diagonally and avoid it.

"Hmm."

Su Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue, a peculiar feeling suddenly rising in his heart.

"As expected, they practice Daoist arts like Ao Run."

As this thought arose, he saw the White Wolf Demon General turn to grab its weapon from behind, stomping once to form a mass of gray demon cloud underfoot that soared towards him.

"Just as expected."

He didn’t hesitate, grabbing Ao Run coiled around his waist and threw it:

"Block it!"

"Roar!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a blue light flashed and revealed a flood dragon covered in azure jade-like scales, opening its mouth to spew a Meridian Cold Tide.

The White Wolf Demon General, who intended to pursue and kill Su Yu, immediately changed targets, drawing its blade to unleash a saber aura over a thousand meters long, tearing through the Meridian Cold Tide with immense force.

This saber aura, over a thousand meters long, made Ao Run, at 150 meters, seem extremely small, as if it could be split into two at any moment.

The airborne Ao Run’s dragon claws made a virtual grab, gathering vitality from the void rapidly into a massive dragon claw to meet it.

"Clang!"

A deafening crash echoed in the air, dragon claw and saber aura collapsing simultaneously.

"A formidable foe!"

Both the wolf and the flood dragon were momentarily stunned, clearly feeling their seriousness rising, lifting their heads to charge and clash.

Saber aura slashed down, and the dragon tail smashed away.

Demon soldiers slashed, dragon claws parried.

The demon general extended a hand to summon over a hundred yellow demon thunders, exploding into a net, yet blue light surfaced on the flood dragon’s body, blocking the all-pervasive lightning.

The protective aura enveloped them, allowing them to fly with qi, execute grapple techniques, and employ Thunder Skills. The two great demons, each having practiced the Qi Refining Heart Skill, unleashed their abilities, clashing fiercely.

At the same time, the other teams, according to the plan, charged the enemy. The second and third squads set up arrays, trapping the two demon generals; while the first and fourth squads formed formations to encircle and slay the smaller leaders and demon soldiers. Chaos erupted on the mountain instantly.

In terms of individual power, aside from Su Yu, no one else could single-handedly challenge a Level 100+ monster.

However, if it was just about blocking, everyone present could manage it.

With a tier five defense treasure, it was entirely possible to withstand a strike.

They had enough people to take turns facing the hits, switching continuously.

Under Gu Zhiqiu’s command, over a dozen players continuously disrupted enemies with treasures like the Immortal Binding Rope and Light Fixing Mirror, while the rest unleashed a furious assault.

Wei Xia was also decisive, directly unleashing the tier seven thunder hammer ultimate move; hundreds of bolts of lightning struck incessantly, leaving the demon chief’s skin torn and fleshy parts exposed.

Even with two million health points, they could not withstand the relentless bombardment, soon left with only defensive power and no ability to counterattack.

Elsewhere, the second and third squads used arrays to trap the two demon generals. Though they lacked the tier seven treasure firepower support like Wei Xia, they aimed only to endure without making mistakes, effectively tying the enemies up to prevent them from aiding other leaders.

Without interference from the big boss, the first and fourth squads progressed rapidly, but it was Su Yu and the White Wolf Demon General who advanced even faster.

Su Yu, after re-forging the Cyan Sparrow Flying Sword, communicated with Ao Run:

"Catch and kill it for me!"

Then, initiating a dazzling transformation, he combined the two swords into one brilliant streak, disappearing from sight.

The next second, the White Wolf Demon General, wrestling with Ao Run, slapped its neck with a painful howl, blood spurting from between its fingers.

"Taibai Splitting Light Sword!"

In the combined dual-sword state, the Taibai Sword Qi split off was based on current power, with single sword Qi damage reaching over 8,000. In an instant, it unleashed over 200,000 explosive damage.

The streaming light circled around, generating twelve terrifying damages exceeding 20,000, instantly stacking up to hundreds of thousands of damage points.

The White Wolf Demon General wished to retaliate but was thoroughly entangled by Ao Run. The wolf demon template simply could not surpass the flood dragon’s, unable to break free despite its struggles, only able to watch as the barely visible light streak dashed back and forth over its body.

The furious roars of the White Wolf Demon General attracted much attention, and upon seeing the dozen or so terrifying explosions reaching over 20,000 within a second, everyone who witnessed it was left utterly stunned.

"Damn, this output rivals that of a Loose Immortal!"

In just ten seconds, this White Wolf Demon shed nearly three million health, plunged straight into a severely injured state.

At this moment, Su Yu found it difficult to maintain the dual-sword combination state, the streaming light split into two flying swords, the speed sharply reduced.

Mana was sustainable, as these two sixth-tier flying swords had little attribute discrepancy and high compatibility; the mana cost of maintaining the combined state was only 680 points per second. At his current mana level, he could sustain it for twelve to thirteen seconds, and during this period could take elixirs to restore mana, extending it another twelve to thirteen seconds.

However, the dual-sword combination required demands on both the flying swords and personal spiritual sense.

As the swords were not perfectly matched, forcing them to combine would somewhat affect the swords’ spirituality.

Activating it also required extensive focus to stabilize the dual swords, imposing a great mental strain over time.

The general theory is that the closer the essence of the flying swords are, the stronger one’s spiritual sense, the longer the combination can be maintained.

This spiritual sense strength lacks specific data representation but, generally, the higher the level, the stronger the spiritual sense.

Though without the dual-sword combination, the White Wolf Demon General could no longer turn the tables. Ao Run alone could suppress it.

Once Su Yu re-forged the burdened dual swords, the White Wolf Demon General’s life counted down.

The wolf demon, having practiced Daoist magic, was indeed strong, his power far exceeding his template’s limits; he was no lesser than terror-level templates of the same rank. But unfortunately, Ao Run also practiced Daoist magic, with an even higher template, firmly suppressing him.

One man and one flood dragon joined forces to overpower him frontally.

Half a minute later, the wolf demon was decapitated with a single sword, yielding eight pieces of loot.

After collecting the spoils, Su Yu immediately rushed to support the second squad.

He plunged into the All Heaven Fiery Array, entering a realm dyed red by skies full of fierce flames. A towering white-furred giant bear, fifty to sixty meters tall, stormed through the array like a cloud.

The enormous size bestowed it with terrifying strength; each charge severely warped the array as if it would burst open at any moment.

But, unfortunately, the array was geared only for defense, with 180 flag bearers full of mana, supplemented by the players of the rest of the first squad hidden inside the array continuously disrupting it. When Su Yu arrived, the array remained steadfast and unbroken.

Once within, Su Yu summoned his dual swords and launched a relentless assault.

The Bear Demon turned to charge but was intercepted by Ao Run.

Trapped within the array and blocked by a dragon stronger than itself, the Bear Demon soon lost its power to fight, subject only to taking hits.

Relying on its immense health, it held up for several minutes before Su Yu decapitated it with a single sword.

After organizing the loot, Su Yu immediately brought Ao Run to the Celestial One Profound Ice Array set by the third squad, where the demon general was a White-haired Rat Spirit.

Upon Su Yu’s arrival, this creature had neither revealed its true form nor instead summoned a white tower suspended above its head, with layers of Treasure Light cascading down, safeguarding it, launching thunderous attacks toward the surrounding array.

Were it not for its rat-headed, human-bodied appearance clad in Daoist robes, it may very well be mistaken for a realized Daoist.

This creature seemed more formidable than the other two demon generals, with a Daoist skill level exceeding that of the White Wolf Demon General, reaching up to level 133, just a few layers shy of the Great White Ape King. Coupled with what appeared to be a high-level treasure in hand, despite a long engagement, it remained unscathed.

Upon entering, Su Yu unleashed his flying sword, slashing down, and Ao Run spewed out a Meridian Cold Tide.

The Mouse Demon made no resistance, instead loudly proclaiming:

"Human, are you interested in making a deal?"

The response was two intersecting sword lights, swirling around the tower, spinning rapidly like a tornado, furiously ravaging it.

The White-haired Rat Spirit’s face changed slightly, and it continued:

"Why don’t we call it quits? You let me leave, and I’ll immediately depart, swearing never to return for revenge."

Su Yu gave no reply, continuing his attack.
