Chapter 38: The Four Phases Spirit Calming Formation

As the silver light and green light from the Five Jins and Hundred Claws intertwined, they managed to turn the five rapidly flying flaming spears into a shower of sparks. However, both Lei Hai and Lei Yue felt a sudden heaviness in their hands! The spiritual power controlling the magical treasures experienced a slight obstruction!

These two tiger-headed demons, who had transformed the flames on their bodies into flaming spears, finally reminded Lei Yue of a description he had read in a book: Hellfire Gun Demons, which can take various animal and human forms, are engulfed in the hellfire of karma. When they face an enemy, they need only shake their bodies, and the hellfire on their bodies immediately transforms into flaming spears.

High-level Hellfire Gun Demons can transform countless hellfire spears, continuously and without end. Even in their juvenile stage, the hellfire on their bodies is sufficient to transform into thousands of flaming spears. Opponents with slightly lower cultivation, after blocking the initial barrage, would not last until the Hellfire Gun Demons' hellfire was completely depleted!

However, this scene was a beginner's arena, so it was impossible for high-level demons to enter. These two tiger-headed demons were undoubtedly the juvenile forms of high-level Hellfire Gun Demons!

Therefore, Lei Yue, Lei Hai, and Lei Feng, who had traveled to many planets to gather spiritual herbs and rare items, had considerable experience in combat. As soon as they engaged, they immediately gauged the depth and origin of the two tiger-headed demons and made a firm decision. They quickly notified the other three to take up the four positions of the Four Phases Spirit Calming Formation, raise the formation, and set it up according to the ritual. If these two demons were to launch their thousands of flaming spears, this Black Star Sand Beast graveyard would also become the graveyard of the treasure-hunting quartet.

Qian Xing had already pushed the Cold Ice Technique to its limits, and a visible pale blue light enveloped his body like a faint ribbon.

He not only had to guard against the sudden attacks of the flaming spears but also resist the innate fear and submission to higher demons that penetrated his body. What originally required one unit of power now required two units to accomplish!

Qian Xing now understood that this Chacha Demon transformation, which came with an innate knowledge of simple hellish language and the ability to sense and use demonic energy, was ranked among the lowest in various bloodlines, and the required points were astonishingly cheap.

"Cheaper things are never good!"

Qian Xing, while flying close to the ground, lamented the deceit of unscrupulous merchants.

What he feared came to pass. The two tiger-headed Hellfire Gun Demons, seeing the four people scatter in four directions, were initially stunned. Then, they assumed the four were trying to escape and did not hesitate. The two tiger-headed Hellfire Gun Demons, one tall and one short, immediately began their bizarre and clumsy dance, shooting out seventeen flaming spears. Each of the three Lei people had four spears aimed at them, while the unfortunate Qian Xing, the weakest among the four, had five spears aimed at him, determined to kill him.

"Damn your ancestors!"

Qian Xing, filled with fear and rage, wondered why they always targeted him. What had he done to them?

Unbeknownst to him, hellish creatures like demons are extremely hierarchical. When Qian Xing, a low-level Chacha Demon, saw the high-level Hellfire Gun Demons, he showed no sign of humility and even attempted to fight them alongside humans. Moreover, Qian Xing was the weakest among the four, making him the primary target for the high-level Hellfire Gun Demons, even in their larval form, who knew that the weakest enemy should be attacked first!

Qian Xing shifted his body, roared, and channeled his true qi to the tenth level. His hands, now transformed into ten translucent pale blue claws, shot out dozens of blue lines. This was an external qi emission technique from the Nine Yin Manual, which Qian Xing used to project the cold ice true qi he had cultivated through the Cold Ice Technique.

Although each blue line could only dim the flaming spears in mid-air, under the combined resistance of dozens of blue cold ice true qi lines, the five flaming spears were shattered in the air.

However, external qi emission is extremely draining.

This desperate attack had already cost Qian Xing two levels of his true qi.

If the two tiger-headed demons concentrated their full attack on one of the four, and that person died, the other three might also meet their end today.

However, their misjudgment of the situation led the two tiger-headed Hellfire Gun Demons to believe the four humans were trying to escape, so they did not launch a decisive attack.

By the time the seventeen flaming spears had been dispersed, it was too late for the demons to attempt to pick them off one by one.

The three Lei people and Qian Xing had already reached their designated positions.

The four of them took out red, green, black, and yellow triangular flags from their robes, chanted incantations, and waved the flags.

The two tiger-headed demons saw the surroundings change dramatically!

Originally in the dark underground, the ground suddenly became bright, and from the four directions, a great fire, a towering wave, a massive yellow mountain, and a forest of towering trees appeared, as if they had suddenly entered a new world!

"What kind of illusion is this! Badawi, be careful!"

The shorter tiger-headed demon warned the taller one. Before he could finish speaking, the yellow mountain tilted and seemed to press down on them.

In an instant, the two demons hesitated but decided to resist.

In countless battles in hell, as high-level demon larvae, they had experienced many illusions, only a few of which had any real killing power.

The two demons extended their hands, and a flaming spear, about ten feet long and as thick as a goose egg, appeared. The spear was transparent and crystalline, like red crystal, with the hellfire of karma condensed into a solid form by the two tiger-headed Hellfire Gun Demons!

The two crystal-like flaming spears collided fiercely with the collapsing yellow mountain.

An incomparable pressure instantly transmitted through the crystal spears!

Before they could even say "bad," the two tiger-headed demons, relying on their combat instincts, released the spears and retreated like lightning. Two sprays of dark red demonic blood bloomed in the air!

The two crystal-like flaming spears were crushed by the collapsing yellow mountain, not even leaving a trace of sparks.
