Chapter 94: In Hand

Although blocked by twelve layers of golden shield barriers and protected by the Great Python Heavenly Scale Armor, Chu Jianqiu was still severely injured by this Sea Transformation Realm great demon's attack. If it weren't for his Supreme Martial Body, which made his physical body incredibly strong, this attack would have been enough to take his life.

Of course, his ability to withstand this attack was also due to the twelve layers of golden shield barriers and the Great Python Heavenly Scale Armor, which reduced the force of the Sea Transformation Realm great demon's attack by at least half, allowing him to barely hold on with his formidable physical strength.

After Chu Jianqiu was sent flying, the Sea Transformation Realm great demon still refused to give up, following him closely. This Tianji Black Dragon Grass was its hope for breaking through to the second level of the Sea Transformation Realm, and it could not allow anyone else to take it.

At this moment, it was filled with regret. If it had known this would happen, it would have swallowed the Tianji Black Dragon Grass long ago, even if the timing wasn't right, rather than letting it fall into the hands of these humans.

Originally, it didn't take these human martial artists seriously. A group of Ninth True Qi Realm ants could cause some trouble, but to pick the Tianji Black Dragon Grass right under its nose was almost impossible.

Even at this moment, although the Sea Transformation Realm great demon was angry, it wasn't very worried. Even if Chu Jianqiu picked the Tianji Black Dragon Grass, could he possibly escape right under its nose?

Although this Sea Transformation Realm great demon was incredibly fast, Chu Jianqiu still managed to catch his breath when he was slapped away. Before the great demon arrived, he instantly disappeared and reappeared at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, the Sea Transformation Realm great demon let out another earth-shattering roar and flashed after him. It was so fast that it almost reached Chu Jianqiu the moment he appeared.

But when it caught up to Chu Jianqiu again, its vision blurred, and the scenery suddenly changed. Before it was a vast, endless wasteland, with endless wild grass stretching to the horizon, no longer the familiar Black Dragon Mountain.

The Sea Transformation Realm great demon was panic-stricken. In the hundreds of years since its birth, it had never encountered such a situation. It was extremely agitated, roaring and flying swiftly across the vast wasteland. But no matter how it flew, it couldn't see the end of the wasteland.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu and the others saw the Sea Transformation Realm great demon flying in circles within a few hundred feet, feeling both amused and surprised.

The means of the array master were indeed mysterious. Even a Sea Transformation Realm great demon was trapped in the array, and if it were them, the outcome would be even worse.

Kuang Guanghui, seeing this, also showed a rare look of seriousness. An array that could trap a Sea Transformation Realm great demon must be of a high rank, and Chu Jianqiu's array skills were likely extraordinary.

Seeing Chu Jianqiu use the array to trap the Sea Transformation Realm great demon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even with so many powerful people working together, facing this unusual Sea Transformation Realm great demon was no easy task.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu was overjoyed. After so much hard work, they had finally completed the mission, and the heavy burden in her heart was lifted.

With this Tianji Black Dragon Grass, her master's poison injury would finally have a cure.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu walked towards the array, wanting to assist Chu Jianqiu.

She had seen Chu Jianqiu being hit by the Sea Transformation Realm great demon's full-strength claw. The power of that claw was not something a Fourth True Qi Realm martial artist like Chu Jianqiu could withstand, and even she would find it hard to bear.

So although Zuoqiu Lianzhu was happy to have finally picked the Tianji Black Dragon Grass, she was also worried. If Chu Jianqiu paid with his life, even picking the Tianji Black Dragon Grass would not be a cause for celebration.

But as she approached the array, Chu Jianqiu had already retreated from it and urgently said to everyone, "Everyone, hurry and leave! This array won't hold the great demon for long!" Saying this, he ran in the direction of their return.

Everyone, taken aback, quickly followed.

After a short while, devastating explosions erupted at the foot of Black Dragon Mountain, creating deep pits dozens of feet wide, and the area within a mile was in ruins.

The Sea Transformation Realm great demon, after rampaging for a while and finding it couldn't fly out of the unfamiliar wasteland, attacked the area with all its might in anger.

Under the impact of those terrifying forces, the array set up by Chu Jianqiu was finally broken, and the endless wasteland disappeared from its sight, replaced by the familiar Black Dragon Mountain.

However, this attack also cost the Sea Transformation Realm great demon greatly, with nearly half of its true qi consumed.

Looking at the empty Black Dragon Mountain, where the detestable human martial artists had already disappeared with the Tianji Black Dragon Grass, the Sea Transformation Realm great demon let out a roar of extreme frustration.

Although the Tianji Black Dragon Grass was taken by the human martial artists, the Sea Transformation Realm great demon did not leave Black Dragon Mountain.

Black Dragon Mountain, which could nurture a Fourth Rank spirit medicine like the Tianji Black Dragon Grass, was a place of extremely rich spiritual energy. At the roots of Black Dragon Mountain, there was a spirit vein of extraordinary rank.

Although losing the Tianji Black Dragon Grass greatly slowed its advancement to the second level of the Sea Transformation Realm, it could still reach the second level with the spirit vein in Black Dragon Mountain, albeit at a much slower pace.

Even though they were far from Black Dragon Mountain, everyone could still feel the terrifying vibrations, their faces changing. It was fortunate that Chu Jianqiu had used the array to trap the Sea Transformation Realm great demon; otherwise, facing this frenzied great demon, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu was still worried about Chu Jianqiu's injuries. She looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Little brother, are you really okay?" If Chu Jianqiu were to suffer serious hidden injuries because of this, she would have a lifelong regret.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu's genuine concern was evident, and Chu Jianqiu felt warmth in his heart but also a bit of helplessness. He looked at her and smiled, "Do you want me to strip and let you take a look, Senior Sister?"

Zuoqiu Lianzhu's face turned red, and she scolded in embarrassment, "Shameless, where did you learn such slick talk!"

The little girl in red crossed her arms and looked at the two of them, sneering, "Pretend all you want!"

Zuoqiu Lianzhu was even more embarrassed and shouted, "Tang Ningxin, what are you laughing at?"

The little girl in red turned her head and sneered, "I'm laughing at myself, what does it have to do with you, Zuoqiu Lianzhu? Mind your own business!"
