Chapter 3: Crisis of Death

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei's faces turned very unsightly.

  At this moment, the sixteen blue octopuses surrounding Qin Yu and Xiao Hei had formed an array, with twelve of them forming a formation that seemed like a heavenly net, completely encircling Qin Yu and Xiao Hei in the center.

  "The Twelve Heaven and Earth Web Formation." Qin Yu's heart had turned cold.

  The Twelve Heaven and Earth Web Array is not a particularly profound array method, but the ones setting up the array are twelve Golden Core period Octopuses. The octopuses have extremely large bodies and generally possess a lot of demonic energy. Compared to other Golden Core period demons, they are much more formidable.

  Twelve linked hands, even without mentioning the incremental power of the formation, is still the strength of twelve Golden Core cultivators. How could Qin Yu and Xiao Hei possibly break through? Not to mention that the formation also has a resonance effect.

  "I won't collapse here as soon as I leave home." Qin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

  These days, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei have been drifting and playing on the sea, feeling very relaxed. However, when Qin Yu was initially only on the surface of the sea, at this moment he came into contact with the real sea bottom demon beast, Qin Yu knew that the path of cultivation was not so easy to walk.

  No wonder Feng Yu Zi never dared to enter the deep sea, no wonder he said that the most terrifying force in the ocean domain was the Sea Bottom Demon Beast.

  "Big brother, what to do?" Little Hei asked urgently.

  Qin Yu's mind was racing, but when he saw this grand formation, he had nothing to say.

  The large formation set up by the twelve Golden Core cultivators and the eight-armed octopus was not something that one or two people could break through.

  Qin Yu gritted his teeth in his heart: "No matter who it is, if they want to deal with me, I won't let them off easy." Although Qin Yu was kind to his good friends, don't forget that he used to be a beast, and his heart wouldn't soften easily.

  "Big brother, sixteen gold dan period demon beasts. The four without array are in the late gold dan period, and that terrifying red eight-clawed octopus should be in the yuan ying period." Xiao Hei's voice also turned cold, losing its usual playfulness.

  "Can't escape, prepare for battle."

  The deep muscle strength of Qin Yu seemed to be slowly awakening, no matter what, he had to fight with all his might, he was not a weak person who would let others bully him, the Yan Hui sword and Yan Hui fist set were also Qin Yu's most powerful weapons.

  Everyone's eyes are fixed on the surrounding people, not daring to relax in the slightest. Always ready to launch an attack at any moment.

  These two brothers felt the crisis completely.

  Crisis of death!

  Twelve Golden Core Octopuses formed the 'Twelve Heaven and Earth Web Array', with four late-stage Golden Core demonic beasts on the periphery, as well as a single Red Octopus in its Yuan Infant stage. The fierce aura emanated from them continuously.

  The red octopus suddenly turned its body and transformed into a human figure.

  The entire person was over two meters tall, but his body was wrapped in a red cloak, which was very large and seemed to envelop him entirely. This octopus-like creature with eight arms had a hint of a smile at the corner of its mouth.

  The greedy gaze swept over Xiao Hei, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha... a Golden Dan period flying bird actually ran to the bottom of the sea, it's really looking for death. The strength of flying birds will be greatly weakened at the bottom of the sea, just wait for me, Sang Mo, to slaughter you."

  The little black eagle's eyes were sharp and piercing, staring straight at Sang Mo, with an aura that was in no way weaker than his opponent.

  He looked at Qin Yu again, and as soon as he saw Qin Yu, his eyes lit up: "Ah, this guy is actually... a cultivator. I, Sang Mo, am really lucky, the golden elixir and flesh of a cultivator are extremely pure. The feeling of absorbing it... is great."

  It was as if a color wolf had seen a beauty, this is the octopus with eight claws in the sand and ink land seeing Qin Yu and getting very excited, as if even saliva was about to flow out.

  "Oh? You say I'm a cultivator." Qin Yu smiled and asked back.

  At this moment, Qin Yu seems not tense at all, nor is he in a hurry to escape, and instead asks about San Mo's words.

  Sang Mo looked at him as if he were a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and said affectionately: "Oh, my delicious, I can feel your breath, there is no beastly aura, you must be human. And the aura of your power...

  Wrapped in a red cloak, Sang Mo's throat emitted a high-pitched voice: "Blazing aura, how pure that blazing aura is! Most cultivators of demonic arts possess corrupt, evil, and mixed natures. Perhaps only the most top-notch sects' energies would be extremely pure, but could even the most top-notch sect have such an ignorant disciple as you? You actually ran to the bottom of the sea." Sang Mo was not worried in the slightest at this moment.

  Within tens of thousands of miles, it's all his territory. Even if other masters come, they can't compete with him for it. Otherwise, they would be violating the rules. Once they violate the rules...

  So Sang Mo was in no hurry at all.

  Qin Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  He clearly remembered that when he and Xiao Hei dived into the sea, those weak and small demon beasts saw them and escaped early, while the powerful demon beasts were betting on when they would die, as if these demon beasts had all seen at a glance that Qin Yu and Xiao Hei were outsiders.

  "Is it really stupid to run to the bottom of the sea? Why?" Qin Yu also pretended to be silly, and he really didn't know about this either.

  "You seem to be quite naive, but... when a person dies with regret, their flesh is very tender. I love devouring that kind of flesh the most. So I won't tell you the answer. Haha... just prepare to die with regret."

  A sharp laugh came from within the red robes, followed by a wave of his hand.

  "Father, cultivator, I've never had a taste of it before. Hmm, I really want to try some. Can I have one leg?" A golden elixir late-stage blue octopus with eight legs transformed into a strange young man and said this to Sang Mo.

  San Mo sucked his teeth and said helplessly, "You little devil, forget it, I'll just give you one leg." San Mo was also more indulgent towards his own son.

  That evil and strange young man suddenly became excited: "It's really too good, Father, give me that eagle too."

  "Enough!" Santu's face sank, a red glow shot out of his eyes, "I hate it the most when others... take an inch and want a foot. Even if you're my son, I've already given you one leg of a cultivator. If you keep making excuses, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  Sang Tuo suddenly didn't dare speak, if Sang Mo was ruthless, killing him might not be possible, but imprisoning him for a hundred or more years was still possible.

  Sang Mo looked at the twelve octopuses with eight legs on the cloth array and waved his hand lightly.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei, who were surrounded by the large formation, raised all their strength and prepared for a final blow at any moment.

  "Big brother," Xiao Hei's voice echoed in Qin Yu's mind.

  Qin Yu's entire body crackled with energy, and he transmitted a message: "Xiao Hei, this battle can't afford to be careless at all. Prepare to fight for your life, and once we break out of the formation, rely on speed to run. Every single one that can escape is a bonus." Qin Yu didn't even have confidence in his own brother.

  "Mother, I'll take one down with me even if it kills me, and I'll drag a few more down as well." Xiao Hei also became violent.

  Idly

  "Cast the net." San Mo's face was radiant with a smile as he gave the order.

  In an instant, the twelve blue octopuses with eight claws poured their demonic yuan force into the formation, and the formation actually formed an energy net that directly bound Qin Yu and Xiao Hei. At the same time, the twelve blue octopuses also launched a fierce attack.

  These eight-armed octopuses are also very clear that the twelve gates of Tianluo's big array are deadly, but their attacking power is just average.

  "Twelve little ones join forces, and it's estimated that they can fill up the immortal cultivator and the eagle with a pot of food." Sang Mo was confident at this moment, what was he worried about? He was a Yuan Ying period demon beast, and an extremely powerful eight-clawed octopus.

  At this early stage of Yuan's infancy, Sang Mo was much more formidable than Xiang Zhong had been initially.

  A beast of the same level can easily kill ten cultivators of the same level. This Sang Mo, although not a divine beast, is also equivalent to two or three cultivators of the same level.

  "Xiao Hei!"

  Qin Yu suddenly let out a loud shout. At the same time, the Yan Hui sword appeared in his hand and directly slashed at the energy net, but to no avail, as the energy net was not cut open. However, the small black creature that had been startled by Qin Yu's earlier roar was now struck by an eagle claw.

  "Pffft!"

  The energy web shattered and dispersed.

  A sharp and shrill eagle's cry burst forth from Xiao Hei's small beak. At the same time, Xiao Hei's wings fluttered and shot straight up into the sky. The eight massive long tentacles of an octopus shook downwards with a lightning-fast motion, and at the same time——

  A massive whip as thick as eight water buckets swept past fiercely, and the octopus's eight meat guns were very powerful. Xiao Hei's eyes lit up---

  "Bang!"

  Two flashes of lightning shot out from Xiao Hei's eyes and landed on the green octopus. The octopus' body trembled, but when Xiao Hei wanted to escape, another five or six octopuses had already completely filled up the surrounding space.

  Each of the eight-armed octopuses has eight thick, fleshy pillars as big as a bucket, with dozens of pillars extremely flexible, completely sealing off any path for Xiao Hei.

  "When heroes meet on a narrow road, the brave win; let's fight it out!"

  Qin Yu gritted his teeth and transformed into a whirlwind.

  "Cheers!"

  A loud shout, a mournful cry suddenly rang out, and the three flesh pillars were cut off. Qin Yu held the Xuanhui Sword in one hand, and the starlight on the sword was shining brightly. Even if the flesh pillar was powerful, it couldn't withstand the attack of the top-grade spiritual instrument.

  In the distance, Sang Mo "chattered" coldly a few times: "Old Three, go and play with him."

  "Yes, big brother."

  Beside Sang Mo were four blue octopuses in the late Golden Core stage. Among these four Golden Core-stage demonic beasts, one was Sang Mo's son and the other three were his younger brothers. Sang Mo had long since seen that none of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

  "Cut off my claws and I'll die."

  A sharp spiritual transmission sound echoed in Qin Yu's mind, the octopus that had just been cut off three of its eight arms by Qin Yu was now frantically waving its remaining five arms, and at the same time a black airflow also burst out, instantly covering an area of several hundred meters.

  "Poison!"

  Qin Yu held his breath, but the black toxic gas actually penetrated into his body through his pores. In just an instant, Qin Yu felt a numbing sensation in the areas where the toxic gas had seeped in. He immediately circulated the Starlight Force to completely block out the toxic gas.

  Pong!

  Qin Yu was busy blocking the toxic gas, but at the same time a powerful and terrifying force directly slammed into Qin Yu's waist, causing him to involuntarily fly out. Several thick pillars of flesh continuously smashed against Qin Yu's body with loud "thuds", not giving him any chance to adjust, making him feel like a sandbag being battered back and forth.

  Qin Yu's fist suite fiercely grasped the meat pillar, directly tearing it open. Qin Yu borrowed the force to flash his body to one side, exchanging it for a moment of quiet. With fresh blood and old vinegar in his mouth, Qin Yu spat out the fresh blood, his eyes flashing with cold light.

  "Damn it, a bunch of eight-armed bastards."

  Qin Yu's body was extremely strong, and his refined physique was comparable to a spiritual artifact. Additionally, the armor on his body had also dissipated more than half of the attack power, so Qin Yu did not suffer any major injuries. At this moment, Xiao Hei was also surrounded by six or seven octopuses with eight claws.

  The eight-clawed octopus around Qin Yu also increased in number, those strips of flesh pillars constantly whipping, and sometimes there was even a flow of demonic yuan force on the flesh pillars.

  "This is too many claws!" Qin Yu's body dodged once, avoiding an attack, and then six or seven flesh pillars came crashing down, the terrifying demonic energy also constantly surging and striking, Qin Yu was like a small fish in a net.

  Qin Yu's spiritual consciousness was fully dispersed, and he had a complete grasp of the overall situation.

  At this time, Xiao Hei was also in a sorry state. His lightning could at most paralyze these demon beasts for a while, and his Thunderfire could kill one of them, but how many Thunderfires could he release? Even other ultimate moves were all desperate ultimate moves.

  "That primordial demon beast hasn't made a move yet, if we don't put up a fight, there won't even be any hope of escape." Qin Yu's eyes trembled slightly at the corners, and his eyes also began to redden, in just an instant, the power within him reached its peak.

  "Xiao Hei, prepare for Thunderbolt Nine Flash!"

  Qin Yu's voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Hei's mind, and Xiao Hei heard the transmission: "Big brother, I'm surrounded by dozens of flesh pillars, how can I use the Nine Flashes of Lightning?" Xiao Hei was also very worried, and just as he finished speaking, a shocking scene unfolded before him.

  "Boom!"

  Little Hei saw that scene and

  Completely understood, Qin Yu was using the Starry Sky Domain, and only saw the extremely fast revolving power of the stars forming a huge nebula around Qin Yu's body. Qin Yu's speed suddenly increased nearly tenfold.

  "Cut, cut, cut!!!"

  Qin Yu was like a bolt of lightning, he didn't attack Cao Sangmo at all, but instead charged towards Xiao Hei, cutting through the waves of flesh pillars that blocked his way. Qin Yu's Flame Sword slashed wildly, completely disregarding the fact that those flesh pillars were crushing him.

  Even if the flesh pillar is broken and fresh blood spurts out, it still can't block Qin Yu's line of sight. Qin Yu stares at Xiao Hei and roars:

  "Little Black, run!"

  After Qin Yu's move, the original dozen octopuses were completely messed up. Xiao Hei suddenly came to his senses and immediately launched the Flash Nine Flashes, about to rush into the high sky at extreme speed. Qin Yu also wanted to follow suit and escape with his sword at extreme speed.

  Suddenly——

  "Boom!" A thick and large column of flesh directly slapped onto Qin Yu's body, the terrifying force was much stronger than before, Qin Yu seemed to be clicked, his whole body shook, and blood suddenly sprayed out of his mouth like water.

  "Big brother!!!" Little Hei's wings shook and he actually flew back again.
