Chapter 25: The Plot Goes Astray
The infant carp beast took the fork and stuffed the dead human cultivator directly into its gaping maw.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
The cracking sound of bones made the faces of the cultivators in the arena extremely grim.
After finishing the food in a few bites, the baby carp seemed unsatisfied and set its sights on Feng Sanniang and the others once again.
"Wow!"
A shrill cry, like that of a baby crying, instantly echoed throughout the arena.
The sound waves hurt people's eardrums.
"Form ranks! Quickly!"
Feng Sanniang shouted sharply, her face turning deathly pale.
Fifth-order demonic beasts are already far beyond their capabilities, not to mention that this infant carp beast's four arms are holding several natural treasures!
"A fifth-tier demonic beast, whose intelligence has been awakened, should be close to a sixth-tier demonic beast in strength when using those items."
With a solemn expression, Han Li and Qu Hun stood to the side, in a place far away from the Infant Carp Beast.
At this moment, the infant carp beast's two thick lower limbs supported its body.
A terrifying head, with a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth.
On his left, one arm held a crab shell shield in front of him, while the other wielded a frosty stone knife.
On its right arm, one arm holds a coral trident crackling with lightning. The other arm holds a water-attribute pearl.
Before and after the monster gained intelligence, its strength was on a completely different level.
Although this baby carp is still a juvenile, it is very cunning.
With its powerful beastly body, it swiftly dodged the attack from Feng San Niang and the others after they formed a battle formation.
He then quickly changed direction and used sound waves to attack the other cultivators.
Besides Feng Sanniang and her group, Han Li and Qu Hun, there were several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the arena.
Since they lacked defensive formations and were located relatively close to each other, they became the primary targets of the Infant Carp Beast's attacks.
"Ah! No!"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator was struck by the Infant Carp Beast's blade. Although he used a defensive magic weapon to block it, he was still sent flying.
The next second, the baby carp beast swallowed him whole with its huge mouth, chewed him up, and swallowed him.
The few surviving Foundation Establishment cultivators, their faces filled with fear, ran towards the magic array of Feng Sanniang and the others.
"If you guys don't want to die, go to the outer perimeter and harass it, buying my magic array some time!"
Feng Sanniang gave orders to the group without any politeness.
Seeing this, the few cultivators who had escaped did not dare to object, so they could only release spells to interfere with the infant carp beast.
Just as the infant carp beast was being attacked by magic and briefly suppressed, Feng Sanniang and several companions took their positions, and a magic array was formed.
A golden beam of light, centered on Feng Sanniang, shot rapidly toward the infant carp beast.
However, the baby carp beast was very cunning. It directly used the crab claw-shaped shield held in its left arm to block the beam of light.
Seeing that the beam of light was blocked, Feng Sanniang's expression turned solemn, and she began to change formation by forming hand seals.
The array that emitted beams of light transformed into a trapping array, drawing lightning down from above.
The infant carp beast roared angrily after being struck twice by lightning.
It slammed into the walls of the trapping formation, and with a wave of its hands, released a shockwave centered on itself.
Several cultivators maintaining the formation groaned and flew backward, blood spilling from their mouths!
"Be careful!"
An elderly man in the late Foundation Establishment stage exclaimed and leaped into the air.
Then a fan-shaped icy blast swept across, and a cultivator who was a little slower was grazed on the leg by the cold air, screaming as he lost his balance and fell.
"Whoosh!"
The coral trident of the Infant Carp Beast flew out of its hand, turning into a line of blood that precisely pierced the cultivator's chest, pinning him to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, another person died!
Upon seeing the baby carp beast, Feng Sanniang turned her gaze to them again, her face showing fear.
"Fellow Daoists over there! Please lend a hand. Otherwise, we will all perish here today!"
Feng San Niang anxiously transmitted her voice to Han Li and Qu Hun.
Han Li's gaze was serious; he had long since realized how troublesome this infant carp beast was.
His and Qu Hun's pseudo-core realms sound like they're only a hair's breadth away from forming a core.
However, the difference in strength is still significant, not to mention that this monster is exceptionally ferocious and can use natural magical artifacts.
Han Li quickly calculated in his mind that he and Qu Hun were no match for this demonic beast.
"I'll hold them off for now; you'd better go all out!"
Han Li summoned the Green Radiance Sword, a magical artifact that belonged to the Spirit Control Sect cultivator who had possessed Qu Hun.
At the same time, Qu Hun also used the Blood Refining Divine Light technique.
Upon seeing the blood aura emanating from Qu Hun, Wu Chou, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"This is the Profound Yin Technique! The power of blood and evil!"
A stranger appeared in the arena, using the Extreme Yin Island technique, which immediately reminded Wu Chou of a name.
Absolutely stunning!
"We can't wait for the Ancestor to emerge from seclusion; things may have changed. We must act as soon as possible!"
Wu Chou looked at Qing Feng on the main stage.
After learning that Master Sanyang might come here, Wu Chou planned to consult Ji Yin before taking any action.
But now that someone connected to Jixuan has appeared in the arena, we can't wait any longer.
In the arena, the Infant Carp Beast seemed to sense a new threat.
It let out a threatening growl, and then used its demonic power to activate the water-attribute pearl!
"Sizzle—"
Centered on it, a large amount of water mist spread out.
Just as everyone was searching for the infant carp beast's whereabouts after losing sight of it.
Then another unexpected change occurred.
Rumble—!
The entire city of Kui Xing seemed to tremble violently.
The protective light barrier above the arena hummed under the strain, its light flickering rapidly and erratically.
Immediately afterwards, all the cultivators were horrified to discover that the Chaotic Heaven Orbit Formation had malfunctioned.
"What's going on?!"
"The formation! The grand formation on the island is malfunctioning?!"
Gasps and screams erupted from the stands, creating chaos.
As the protective light barrier of the arena went out, the water mist from the baby carp beast spread throughout the entire stands.
The audience who had just been shouting excitedly now became the targets of the monster's attack.
"The Chaotic Heaven Orbit Formation... someone has tampered with its central core!"
On the main platform, Elder Gu and Elder Miao's expressions changed simultaneously, and they abruptly stood up.
"Guards! Go to the central array immediately and check it! Seal off the entire island!"
Elder Miao shouted even more sternly.
Just then, the infant carp beast hidden in the water mist finished charging up and spat out a large amount of water-based divine lightning.
This is its innate divine power; the human cultivators struck by it were instantly reduced to ashes.
"what!"
"Help!"
In an instant, the entire arena descended into chaos.
Wu Chou, who was originally preparing to give orders, was also somewhat bewildered by the situation.
Wait a minute, he hasn't said "start" yet.
"Men, let's do it!"
Wu Chou flew straight into the sky and shouted loudly down.
"That ugly clown from Extreme Yin Island! What's he doing here?!"
Elder Miao had just gotten up to deal with the Infant Carp Beast when he saw Wu Chou flying into the air.
"Old friend, you go deal with the Infant Carp Beast, I'll handle Wu Chou."
Elder Gu's eyes flickered, and his hand was already on the storage bag at his waist.
Meanwhile, Wang Heng looked at Qing Feng, who was still sitting on the golden throne.
"Young Master, what should we do?"
Wang Heng transmitted his voice.
Upon receiving the telepathic message, Qingfeng looked up at Wang Heng.
How to proceed? You're asking me?
Are you the Star Palace envoy, or am I the Star Palace envoy?
The situation on the scene has now completely veered off course. It doesn't match anything he remembered of the events.
