Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 541: Luring and Slaying the Demonic Flood Dragon

Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Luring and Slaying the Demonic Flood Dragon

Ten days later.

Liang Country, Magic Swallow Mountain.​​

This place was thick with demonic qi, the mountains steep and rugged, with many strange rocks, and countless demonic trees and grasses growing wildly.

On these towering demonic trees, there were many bird nests, densely packed, with millions of demonic birds circling above.

These demonic birds, named Golden Winged Demonic Swallows, were jet black all over, their wings adorned with gold patterns, their eyes a fiery red.

The Golden Winged Demonic Swallows were violent by nature, fond of devouring ghostly souls and demonic qi, living in colonies, and when hunting, they often mobilized hundreds of thousands, covering the sky and earth.

A single Golden Winged Demonic Swallow was merely Tier One Upper Grade.

But in large numbers, even a True Pill Demon Lord would avoid them.

At this moment, two escape lights quietly descended upon Magic Swallow Mountain.

The lights dispersed, revealing the figures of Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wan Meng.

"This is Magic Swallow Mountain."

Demon Lord Wan Meng’s eyes glimmered, "These Demonic Swallows, fierce and fearless, are not to be trifled with."

"To lure the Ice Fiend Demon Jiao, a few hundred will suffice. But there are so many Demonic Swallows here, Shen Lang, do you have a way?"

Shen Xuan’s gaze swept over the sky-darkening Demonic Swallow flock, his expression unchanging.

His Divine Thought flickered.

From the insect bag at his waist, hundreds of Shadow-devouring Demon Insects flew out, scattering in all directions.

Over the years, under Shen Xuan’s care, the two Tier Two Shadow-devouring Demon Insect Kings had expanded the swarm to over ten thousand.

These hundreds of Shadow-devouring Demon Insects were the weakest in the swarm and were about to be culled.

As soon as the Shadow-devouring Demon Insects appeared, their aura instantly triggered the Demonic Swallow flock.

"Gwaa!"

The sharp, piercing cries echoed through the sky.

Tens of thousands of Golden Winged Demonic Swallows, their crimson eyes locked onto the hundreds of demonic insects, charged like they had discovered a delicious meal.

A dark mass of about three to five thousand Demonic Swallows swept in with a considerable momentum.

Demon Lord Wan Meng instinctively stepped back half a step, her body shrouded in substantial demonic qi, transforming into black mandala flowers.

This was her Innate Divine Power, [Demonic Mind Flowering], protecting herself.

Facing the swiftly flying Demonic Swallow flock, Shen Xuan formed a sword with his fingers, gently pointing.

A streak of [Ice Soul Divine Light] abruptly shot out from his fingertip.

The forefront Demonic Swallows of the surging flock froze the moment they came in contact with the [Ice Soul Divine Light].

The ones behind, still charging forward, collided with the frozen Demonic Swallows in front, as if infected, also becoming covered in a glistening layer of emerald green Profound Ice.

The following Demonic Swallows shrieked in terror, desperately flapping their wings to escape this terrifying icy domain.

In the blink of an eye, half of the Golden Winged Demonic Swallow flock was frozen.

"Let’s go!"

With a wave of Shen Xuan’s hand, seven to eight hundred frozen Demonic Swallow statues were collected into his Beast Bag.

The two figures flashed, transformed into escape lights, leaving Magic Swallow Mountain.

Behind them were tens of thousands of furious Demonic Swallows, screeching and flapping their wings in pursuit.

Leading them was an enormous Tier Three Demon Swallow King.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t catch up.

Before long, Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wan Meng’s figures disappeared into the depths of the sky.

...

Three days later.

Shen Xuan and Demon Lord Wan Meng arrived at Wanmo Valley.

The demonic qi was even thicker here, white bones could be seen everywhere, along with some fragmented Demon Treasure and Demon Artifact pieces.

The two concealed their presence, moving swiftly.

An hour later, they reached the Extreme Yin Cold Pool.

The cold pool was located in a massive underground cave, the water as black as ink, exuding extreme coldness, threads of Ice Fiend Qi seeping from the water, the surroundings covered in a thick layer of black ice.

At this moment, near the Extreme Yin Cold Pool, there were several figures.

Three strangely shaped Demon Cultivators emanating the aura of Demon Pills stood guard by the Extreme Yin Cold Pool, arranging a blood-colored Killing Array.

In the center of the array was piled a large heap of Golden Winged Demonic Swallows, numbering over a hundred.

Evidently, they planned to use the Golden Winged Demonic Swallows as bait to lure and kill the Ice Fiend Demon Jiao in the cold pool.

"Blood Fiend Luring Monsters Array!"

Demon Lord Wan Meng’s face changed slightly, transmitting her voice to Shen Xuan.

"These three are Netherworld Sect’s Nether Prison Demon Lord, Yin Sha Sect’s Absolute Fiend Demon Lord, and one more, Corpse Refining Sect’s Boneless Demon Lord."

"They want to use demonic swallows as blood bait to lure the Ice Fiend Demon Jiao out!"

Boneless Demon Lord suddenly coughed lightly.

"Which fellow Daoist is here, please show yourself."

He sensed the fluctuation of demonic qi, locking onto Demon Lord Wan Meng’s position.

No choice, Demon Lord Wan Meng revealed herself.

"Oh, Daoist Boneless, Daoist Absolute Fiend, Daoist Nether Prison, what brings you all together?"

However, the appearance of Demon Lord Wan Meng made the three, Boneless Demon Lord and the others, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"You didn’t come alone, who else is here?"

Boneless Demon Lord swept his Divine Sense around.

Suddenly, his face changed.

Within a thousand feet radius, he couldn’t detect anyone else’s presence.

"Absolute Fiend, Nether Prison, did you find anyone else?"

Absolute Fiend Demon Lord took out a Yin Soul Banner, shaking it lightly.

Countless ghostly souls shrieked as they surged out, rushing in all directions.

But as they approached within two feet of Demon Lord Wan Meng, they let out even more mournful screams, retreating back into the Yin Soul Banner.

Evidently, there was something extremely terrifying there.

"Fellow Daoist, please reveal yourself!"

The three, Boneless Demon Lord, Absolute Fiend Demon Lord, and Nether Prison Demon Lord, formed a triangle, surrounding Demon Lord Wan Meng.

"Such a detection method, Profound Ice is truly impressed!"

Accompanied by a clear and bright laugh, Shen Xuan revealed himself.

Demon Lord Wan Meng laughed softly.

"Allow me to introduce, this is Wan Meng’s friend, Cyan Cloud Sect’s Ice Technique Golden Core True Master Profound Ice!"

Upon hearing Shen Xuan’s background, the expressions of the three, Boneless Demon Lord and the others, darkened even more.

Ice Technique Golden Core True Master Profound Ice, who defeated Truth Sect’s Zhuo Wuyan in three breaths, his reputation had long spread across the neighboring countries.

They are unwilling to engage in a direct battle with True Master Profound Ice.

"I am Wugu of the Corpse Refining Sect. Greetings to True Master Profound Ice. May I ask what brings True Master Profound Ice to our Liang Country?"

Shen Xuan looked toward the Polar Yin Cold Pond.

"Just like you, I’ve come for the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon."

Wugu Demon Venerable’s expression turned grim.

The three exchanged looks.

Shen Xuan’s direct declaration of his intention left them at a loss.

Jue Sha Demon Venerable clasped his fists and saluted, "True Master Profound Ice, in all things, there is the principle of first come, first served. The three of us have prepared for a long time, and we ask True Master Profound Ice to give us a little courtesy."

Shen Xuan smiled subtly.

"No problem. Go ahead. If you can slay this Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon, I am willing to trade fairly with several demon soldiers, Core Formation demons, and Longevity Spirit Pills."

The three felt somewhat tempted.

To them, demon soldiers and Longevity Spirit Pills are invaluable treasures.

The three had a brief discussion.

Wugu Demon Venerable said, "Very well. We’ll give it a try first. If we fail, True Master Profound Ice can intervene."

Truth be told, the three of them had no absolute confidence in being able to kill the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Shen Xuan and Wan Meng Demon Venerable retreated a thousand feet away from the Polar Yin Cold Pond, standing atop a giant rock.

At such a distance, even for an Ice Technique Golden Core, it would take some time to attack Wugu Demon Venerable and the others.

Shen Xuan’s actions indicated that he would watch for the time being, allowing Wugu Demon Venerable and the other two to act freely.

The three activated the Blood Fiend Demon Lure Array, and the piled Golden-winged Demon Swallows all died, blood spurting out like a fountain.

A peculiar sweet and fishy odor quickly spread throughout.

Some of it seeped into the water as dark as ink.

The Polar Yin Cold Pond began boiling violently, erupting with gigantic bubbles.

When the bubbles burst, they released an icy cold fiendish chill, instantly dropping the temperature of the entire stone cave and making the air seem to solidify.

"It’s coming! Be careful!"

Wugu Demon Venerable rasped a warning.

His emaciated body slightly hunched, surrounded by countless phantom skeletons.

Jue Sha Demon Venerable, enshrouded in a gray robe, held a Yin Soul Banner in her hands, the banner’s surface filled with thousands of twisted faces, summoning the subterranean Yin Fiend Qi to form a thick barrier in front of her.

Ming Yu Demon Venerable merged into a shadow, leaving only two ghostly blue flames flickering, emanating strange waves that locked onto the Divine Soul.

The three Demon Venerables were as if facing a formidable enemy, fully unleashing their magic power, intently watching the surface of the surging pond.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted suddenly.

The water surface of the cold pond surged with towering waves.

Then, an immense black shadow broke through the water, exuding an ultimate chill.

It was precisely the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Twenty yards long, its entire body was ink-black, its surface covered in thick scales. Its fierce head bore a single horn, coated with a verdant Ice Fiend’s chill, pointing upward.

The flood dragon’s eyes were ice-blue, devoid of any emotion, only pure cold and violence.

It was attracted by the flesh of the Golden-winged Demon Swallows.

As soon as it appeared, it opened its maw and spewed a torrent of pitch-black icy fiendish chill, directly breaking through the Blood Fiend Demon Lure Array, freezing all Golden-winged Demon Swallows within.

"Attack!"

Wugu Demon Venerable shouted, summoning two Skeleton Demons to charge forward.

Their aura had surprisingly reached the lower grade of the Demon Pill stage. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Jue Sha Demon Venerable waved her Yin Soul Banner, sending thousands of Yin Souls to confront the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Ming Yu Demon Venerable’s figure flickered, splitting into four ghostly shadows, attacking the demon flood dragon’s eyes and reverse scales from the flanks.

However, the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon roared, simultaneously spewing multiple streams of icy fiendish chill.

Wugu Demon Venerable’s two Skeleton Demons were hit by the icy chill, instantly frozen solid.

Jue Sha Demon Venerable’s thousands of Yin Souls wailed as they shattered into icy fragments, falling like rain.

Ming Yu Demon Venerable’s four shadow clones were smashed to pieces by the icy fiendish chill just as they approached the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

"Vile creature!"

Wugu Demon Venerable shrieked, forming hand seals, driving the Skeleton Demons to break through the thick ice, lunging again at the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Jue Sha Demon Venerable spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Yin Soul Banner.

The banner shook violently again, releasing a giant ferocious soul, wielding a Yin Blade, striking towards the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon’s neck.

Ming Yu Demon Venerable revealed his true form, summoning a Netherworld Chain swirling with demonic qi, wrapping it around the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon’s body.

The three Demon Venerables displayed their respective divine powers, exhausting their abilities, demonic qi surging skyward, attacking the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Meanwhile, a thousand feet away on the giant rock.

Wan Meng Demon Venerable nervously asked, "Shen Xuan, can they make it?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"They can’t."

Sure enough, the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon did not evade, swept away the frozen Golden-winged Demon Swallows, and directly dove back into the Polar Yin Cold Pond.

The divine power attacks of the three Demon Venerables, when struck against its robust scales, only splattered tiny ice crumbs.

The Skeleton Demon was shaken off flying backward, the Yin Blade of the ferocious soul shattered, and the Netherworld Chain was eroded by the icy fiendish chill, its demonic light dimming, breaking inch by inch.

The Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon’s entire body submerged in the Polar Yin Cold Pond, its cold dragon eyes scanned over the three Demon Venerables, with a flicker of disdain akin to human expression.

It no longer entangled itself, its massive dragon body sinking into the Polar Yin Cold Pond, splashing water skyward.

The pond’s edge was a mess, and the three Demon Venerables’ faces were ashen, gasping heavily.

Especially Ming Yu Demon Venerable, whose Lifebound Demon Soldier was damaged, suffering significant injuries.

Despite their full assault and every means exhausted, they had no way to deal with the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon.

Now, the Ice Fiend Demon Flood Dragon was submerged in the Polar Yin Cold Pond, and they dared not pursue it underwater.

"Damn it! This beast is even more difficult than the rumors suggest!"

Wugu Demon Venerable gnashed his teeth.

"On the shore, we can’t do anything to it. Once it’s in the cold pond, it’s home ground, and we’re even more helpless."

Jue Sha Demon Venerable said in a deep voice.

Ming Yu Demon Venerable said nothing, his breath chaotic, clearly in a foul mood.

The three exchanged helpless glances.

At this moment, their hearts were full of bitterness.

Then, Shen Xuan and Wan Meng Demon Venerable walked over.

"Fellow Daoists, may I take action now?"
