Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 15004 Preparing the Annihilation Array

The old priest breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yelü Tian had listened to his words, and stopped talking.

He was genuinely worried that Yelü Tian, ​​because of his hatred for Ling Xiao, might fall for Ling Xiao's strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," which would be troublesome.

Yelü Tian now focused all his attention on the Silent Court. He wanted to kill Xiang Ying as soon as possible. Once Xiang Ying was dead, their Demon Soul Clan would no longer have to directly confront two top-tier experts.

Xiao Lianzhu was already a headache for them, and if Xiang Ying came along, it would be a real nightmare.

He increased the energy input to the bone staff, and the Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire swept wildly, leaving a scene of utter devastation, as if it were an apocalyptic disaster. Everything was devoured and destroyed by the flames, leaving nothing behind.

"Burn it all! Destroy everything! Destroy all beings that dare to oppose our Demon Soul Clan!"

Yelü Tian roared. Although he had the upper hand, he was also very anxious. He had to resolve things here as soon as possible and then go back to kill that annoying Ling Xiao.

The Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame seemed to sense his emotions, and its speed increased continuously as it rushed towards the Silent Court, dragging a long black tail in the void, looking extremely ferocious.

"It's no use, this is really the end, I've exhausted all my methods!"

Yao Tianji smiled bitterly. He was unwilling to give up even if there was only a sliver of hope, but now it seemed there was no hope at all.

"Use my Sacred Rune Stone. My junior master also gave me a high-grade seven-star Sacred Rune Stone before!"

Trembling, he took out the seven-star high-grade holy rune stone from his storage ring. It was his most treasured possession, a life-saving measure given to him by Ling Xiao.

But now, he had to use it too, just like Yao Tianji. Anyway, he was going to die, and if he didn't use it now, he would never have another chance.

He handed the Sacred Stone to Yao Tianji.

Yao Tianji nodded and suddenly threw the Seven-Star High-Grade Sacred Rune Stone into the air. The Sacred Rune Brush in his hand moved rapidly through the void like a storm, and one golden Sacred Rune after another flew out from the tip of the brush, as if they had come alive, densely wrapping around the Sacred Rune Stone.

The Sacred Stone instantly erupted with dazzling golden light, its radiance spreading far and wide, dyeing the entire sky gold. Then, the golden light condensed, transforming into an enormous golden shield, thick and solid, firmly blocking the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame, exuding an aura of indestructibility.

The next second, the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame slammed into the golden shield.

"boom……!"

The golden light flashed intensely, blinding people, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the golden shield.

It spread rapidly like a spider web, creaking under the strain.

Yao Tianji gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and used all his remaining divine power to maintain the shape of the shield. However, the power of the Soul-Devouring Demon Fire was too domineering and too strange. The golden shield, which was formed from a seven-star high-grade holy rune stone, shattered with a "crack" after only three breaths.

The seven-star high-grade holy rune stone instantly turned into dust that scattered with the wind, leaving not a trace.

"Pfft..." Yao Tianji spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red. He staggered back several steps, his body swaying precariously. If Jiang Chuan hadn't rushed forward in time and caught him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

"Dean Yao... how are you? Don't push yourself!" Jiang Chuan's voice was full of anxiety and heartache, his eyes were red, but he was powerless to help.

"Leave me alone!" Yao Tianji's voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible, yet it carried an indomitable tenacity.

He trembled as he reached into his storage ring again, tossing the remaining high-grade holy rune stones and several life-saving treasures into the air one by one...

He took out everything he could use for defense—defensive holy runes, protective jade talismans, Vajra shields, Xuanbing shields…—and threw them at the Soul-Devouring Demonic Flame as if they were free.

Although Yao Tianji had used all the treasures he had, it was to no avail.

The Soul-Devouring Demonic Fire was so terrifying that those treasures were almost instantly devoured and destroyed.

Yao Tianji's life-saving treasures could only hold out for a short while before becoming useless.

"Alright, stop bothering. I think we've reached the end of our lives, so let's just wait to die. It's all in vain!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head. He had already thrown away all the treasures he had on him, so they wouldn't be of much use. They could only delay their deaths by a little bit.

"I hope our junior master can wipe out those Demon Soul Clan guys and avenge us."

Yao Tianji also gave up struggling, realizing it was pointless. His only thought now was for Ling Xiao to kill more Demon Soul Clan scum.

In the air, Xiao Lianzhu was still being dragged along and unable to break free.

The more she tried to save people, the harder it became for her to escape. Unable to turn around and fight, she was more likely to get injured.

The problem is that there's more than one person dealing with Hu Xie now. Although the other person rarely makes a move, he will launch a sneak attack at crucial moments, which is extremely annoying.

"This is really troublesome. It seems I have no choice but to be more serious!"

Xiao Lianzhu stopped thinking about saving people and focused on dealing with Hu Xie.

As she became serious, Hu Xie found himself struggling to keep up. Xiao Lianzhu's Black Moon was simply too terrifying, and given that she was one of the eight strongest warriors in the Chaotic Martial World, Hu Xie couldn't withstand it.

"Let me help you!"

The experts from the Demon Soul Clan saw that this wouldn't do; Xiao Lianzhu was going a bit crazy and Hu Xie might get killed. So they took action immediately.

Hu Xie didn't stop him. Xiao Lianzhu was indeed terrifying. He was almost unable to hold on by himself, and his body was covered in injuries.

The two working together significantly increased the pressure on Xiao Lianzhu.

Xiao Lianzhu could only focus on the battle at hand; trying to save people was simply impossible.

Seeing this situation in front of the main hall of the Silent Court, the old man in black robes knew that relying on others would not work, and he could only resort to the Silent Court's last resort.

Unfortunately, Xiang Ying needs more time to break through and cannot come out to help, and they no longer have the time.

Yao Tianji and Jiang Chuan had already given their all; he couldn't let these people die in vain. Before they died, he had to do something.

I wish Jiang Yijian would appear.

Unfortunately, they had no idea whether Jiang Yijian would come or not, so relying on a slim hope was worse than a fight to the death.

He suddenly turned to look at Wu Guang: "Prepare for the Annihilation Death Formation. We can't put all our hopes on Jiang Yijian. If Jiang Yijian doesn't come back, we'll all die in vain, and we won't even be able to protect Xiang Ying. So, we have to make the worst-case scenario plan!"

Wu Guang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the black-robed elder in disbelief: "What did you say? The Annihilation Death Array? That's a formation that guarantees mutual destruction! Once activated, all living beings within the array will be completely annihilated! Including you, including all of us!" (End of Chapter)
