The Xiong, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly saw a dark figure charging towards him. He grinned, swung his giant hammer, and smashed it towards Huang Hun!
"You little brat, I'll crush you into a meat patty!"
The Xiong roared with laughter, his giant hammer smashing down towards Huang Hun's head.
The very space twisted from the force of his swing!
With a single blow like this, it was estimated that even a Red Dust Immortal could be reduced to a meat patty!
However, the moment the giant hammer was about to strike Huang Hun, he dissolved into black mist. The Xiong's hammer slammed into the ground, sending fragments of rock flying and shaking the earth.
Huang Hun reformed in front of The Xiong, his five fingers contorting into a claw, and he fiercely raked towards The Xiong's head!
*Chii!*
Huang Hun's sharp claws tore five bloody holes in The Xiong's face, eliciting a piercing scream.
"I'll kill you!!!"
The Xiong roared, releasing his giant hammer with both hands. He lunged forward, attempting to embrace Huang Hun and crush him!
Unfortunately, the instant The Xiong grabbed him, Huang Hun once again dissipated into black mist, reforming behind The Xiong.
"Big guy, you're no good!" Huang Hun taunted The Xiong, then opened his gaping maw, revealing terrifying fangs, and bit down hard on The Xiong's neck!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The Xiong screamed again, his aura rapidly declining!
Huang Hun was siphoning The Xiong's power!
"The Xiong!"
The other members of Takamagahara in the sky, seeing The Xiong being drained of his power by Huang Hun, could no longer stand by. Two more Red Dust Immortals flew out from the crowd, charging towards Huang Hun to rescue him!
However, before the two Red Dust Immortals could get close to Huang Hun, chains erupted from the ground and ensnared their feet.
"What is this?"
The two Red Dust Immortals, caught by the chains, were greatly alarmed and struggled to break free!
"You bastards from Takamagahara, you will pay with your lives for the Bushi!"
Sakura Moon, pulling on the other end of the chains, yanked hard, dragging the two Red Dust Immortals towards her.
"Shun Satsu Jutsu!"
A long sword rapidly materialized in Sakura Moon's hand. A crescent moon appeared in the air. The two Red Dust Immortals, dragged by the chains, had no time to resist before Sakura Moon severed their heads!
Meanwhile, The Xiong, who had received no support, was completely drained of his spiritual energy by Huang Hun, turning into a desiccated corpse.
In the blink of an eye, Takamagahara had lost three Red Dust Immortals!
"This..."
Master Randeng stared blankly at the three corpses on the plaza, his mind a complete blank, unable to process what had happened.
The three lying on the ground were no ordinary individuals; they were Red Dust Immortals!
One of them was even Takamagahara's foremost general, The Xiong, at the peak of the Red Dust Immortal realm!
Three formidable Red Dust Immortals, engaged in combat, were slain in less than ten seconds...
Master Randeng felt breathless just witnessing the scene.
It was utterly shocking!
At this moment, Ye Ling's brow furrowed slightly. He muttered, "I accidentally over-enhanced them. They killed too quickly..."
While spreading the news of Arabe destroying the Bushi, Ye Ling had healed Sakura Moon's injuries and also helped her break through to the Heavenly Palace realm.
Huang Hun himself had absorbed the power of many异士 (Yishi - extraordinary individuals), and with the demonic energy stored within him, his own strength was even greater than Sakura Moon's.
Having these two face members of Takamagahara was a complete mismatch, a one-sided slaughter.
If they continued at this pace, all the members of Takamagahara would likely be wiped out before spies from various countries could even arrive...
In that case, Ye Ling's efforts would have been in vain.
"Fine, I'll handle it myself."
Ye Ling sighed, walked to the center of the plaza, and said to Huang Hun and Sakura Moon, "You two, stand down."
"Yes..."
Huang Hun and Sakura Moon bowed deeply to Ye Ling and retreated.
Ye Ling dismissed Huang Hun and Sakura Moon, then looked up at the nearly hundred members of Takamagahara in the sky and smiled, "Show me all your remaining abilities. I'll take them all."
The faces of the nearly hundred Takamagahara members in the sky were now extremely grim, and the atmosphere was incredibly tense.
Huang Hun and Sakura Moon's instantaneous elimination of three Red Dust Immortals had already showcased their formidable power, filling them with dread.
And now, Ye Ling emerged, and the incredibly powerful Huang Hun and Sakura Moon bowed to him in submission...
The Takamagahara members could no longer imagine how powerful Ye Ling truly was.
Now that Ye Ling had emerged to provoke them, boundless fear spread among the Takamagahara members, and many immediately felt a desire to retreat.
A Red Dust Immortal, seeing the morale of the group faltering, quickly said, "Everyone, don't panic. No matter how strong they are, there are only three of them. We have over a dozen Red Dust Immortals here. What is there to fear?"
With a Red Dust Immortal taking the lead, other Red Dust Immortals echoed, "That's right! We can still be possessed by the gods. The Xiong and the others were just careless. In a direct confrontation, we might not lose!"
With a Red Dust Immortal leading the way, the remaining eighth-rank 异士 felt more at ease. Their lost fighting spirit gradually rekindled.
The Red Dust Immortal who had taken over The Xiong's leadership position took a deep breath as he saw the fighting spirit of the crowd reignite, and loudly declared, "Since they look down on us, we don't need to be polite."
"Everyone, listen to my command and form the Heaven and Earth Calamity Killing Array!!!"
"Understood!!!"
With that, the leading Red Dust Immortal tossed out an array disk and injected his spiritual energy into it.
The array disk activated, and the grand array materialized!
Led by the leading Red Dust Immortal, the Takamagahara members continuously released their spiritual energy into the array disk, condensing a crimson magic array above Arabe, which continuously expanded!
The remaining seventeen Red Dust Immortals each stood at a position, leading several eighth-rank 异士, together forming an extremely terrifying ancient great array.
This was an immortal realm killing array bestowed upon them by Izanagi!
*Rumble!*
The sky instantly darkened, thunder roared, and the air pressure dropped drastically. The vast Arabe base was enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Calamity Killing Array!
Gales swept through the plaza, and countless Arabe members were pinned down by the great array above, unable to move!
"What is that?"
In East Capital, numerous spies who had heard the news and were rushing towards Arabe headquarters saw the ancient great array rising into the sky and exclaimed in unison. They quickly took out their cameras to record the events and sped towards Arabe headquarters!
Not only the 异士 of various countries, but also ordinary citizens in East Capital saw the massive magic array in the sky, all marveling at it. The entire city was abuzz.
At this moment, the Takamagahara members could no longer care about ordinary citizens. They continuously poured spiritual energy into the great array, causing the Heaven and Earth Calamity Killing Array to expand.
Ye Ling, Huang Hun, and Sakura Moon could instantly kill Red Dust Immortals, meaning their cultivation must be above the Red Dust Immortal realm. The Takamagahara members were not fools and knew that if they didn't go all out now, they would surely not survive.
The great array bestowed upon them by Izanagi could kill gods and demons, and the more people who formed the array, the stronger its power.
Now, with all the Takamagahara members joining forces to form the array, even true gods would perish within it!
Soon, the great array enveloped East Capital and was even continuously spreading to other cities.
The ancient killing array condensed by the combined strength of the Takamagahara members had the power to directly pierce through the Sun Country!
Soon, East Capital became the focal point of the entire world, with countless eyes fixed on it. The 异士 circle... was slowly revealing its true face to ordinary people!
East Capital was in an uproar, and public opinion was fermenting online!!
"Things seem to have gotten a bit out of hand..."
Ye Ling felt the commotion in East Capital and pondered how to resolve this matter.
The scale of the disturbance was large enough for 异士 worldwide to know how powerful Takamagahara was. Now, if Ye Ling were to eliminate Takamagahara, he could completely establish the prestige of the Demon Palace.
However, the massive disturbance created by Takamagahara now was not just shaking the 异士 of the world.
Such a commotion would definitely not be hidden from the ordinary citizens of East Capital!
The key was that the audience had not yet fully gathered, and Ye Ling could not disperse the magic array formed by the combined efforts of the Takamagahara members. Otherwise, everything he had done so far would be in vain.
Unable to destroy the great array, the only thing Ye Ling could do now was to erect a barrier around East Capital, completely isolating it.
However, while Ye Ling could isolate the real-world East Capital, he couldn't do anything about the internet.
It was estimated that news of the Heaven and Earth Calamity Killing Array would be all over the internet, and it was only a matter of time before the whole world knew about it.
With 异士 breaking out into the mainstream and ordinary people becoming aware of supernatural powers, Ye Ling did not know if this world would descend into chaos.
If chaos ensued, Ye Ling would be the one to clean it up...
Not wanting to leave this trouble behind, Ye Ling, right in front of the nearly hundred Takamagahara members in the sky, called Arasaka Shoichi and said, "Arasaka Shoichi, things have gotten a bit out of hand. Do you have a way to resolve this?"
Arasaka Shoichi said quickly, "Your Majesty, I have already cut off the internet for the entire East Capital, which can buy us some time. But the great array cannot expand any further, otherwise, if the surrounding cities see it, it will be completely unmanageable!"
Once ordinary citizens knew about the existence of 异士, they would feel a great sense of crisis and imbalance. This would lead to widespread public unrest and riots across the globe. As the source of this incident, Sun Country would become the epicenter of the riots.
At that time, the nation would cease to be a nation, and living beings would suffer!
Arasaka Shoichi did not want to inherit Sun Country only to find it in a mess.
Therefore, for Arasaka Shoichi, the most important thing now was to curb the spread of public opinion!
Blocking East Capital was easier than blocking the entire country.
Seeing that Arasaka Shoichi had a way to control the internet, Ye Ling's eyes lit up slightly. He smiled and said, "You've done well. Cut off the internet and communication for East Capital. I'll handle the rest."
"Your Majesty has a solution, so I am relieved! I'll get back to work then! There are still many matters to attend to!" Arasaka Shoichi finished quickly, then hung up the phone and continued to deal with the emergency situation created by Takamagahara.
Ye Ling put away his phone, looked up at the gradually forming great array in the sky, and a slight smile curved his lips. "The audience is almost all in place... It's time for my performance."
*Boom!*
Ye Ling suddenly unleashed an exceptionally powerful aura, and demonic energy erupted from his body.
The Arabe members in the plaza, who had been pinned down by the Heaven and Earth Calamity Killing Array, were instantly freed and looked at Ye Ling in the center of the plaza with shock!
At this moment, Ye Ling was shrouded in demonic energy, with the Great Dao manifesting around him...
He was like a demon god of destruction!
