Chapter 277 -275: Both Sides Suffer
The Illusion Sea Storm Array suddenly turned, Ancestor Xu let out a piercing scream, opening his mouth to spew out more than ten dusky flying swords. As the sky and earth changed colors, each flying sword transformed into thunderbolts that plunged into the array.
At the same time, two cultivators appeared, both at the Golden Core Mid-Stage.
One of them was an old man in a gray robe, holding a blood-colored bell in his hand. As he shook it, notes imbued with mana spiraled into the array, disrupting the mind of the Seven-Colored Peacock.
The other was a female cultivator holding a bamboo flute. Plain in appearance, she possessed a certain heroic air in her brows. The moment she played the flute, streams of bamboo leaves whirled around her body, transforming into a Bamboo Leaf Dragon Python that attacked the array.
These two were helpers invited by Ancestor Xu.
Clearly, to hunt this Fourth-tier Early Stage Seven-Colored Peacock, Ancestor Xu had spared no effort, plotting everything meticulously, even using people like Shen Luoyan and Long Xingtian as pawns!
“Xu Changyang, you are truly laughable!”
Inside the array, the Seven-Colored Peacock revealed a mocking expression, saying, “With all your scheming, do you really think you can kill this king?”
Ancestor Xu’s face was grim; he remained silent, only continuing to control the flying swords in fierce attacks.
“Pong, pong, pong~~~”
The sounds of heavy impacts were incessant within the array. The Seven-Colored Peacock lifted its wings to envelop its body, those feathers slowly rotating like densely packed scales on a suit of Fish Scale Armor. Surrounded by Evil Qi, its defensive effectiveness was astonishing, actually deflecting every flying sword unleashed by Ancestor Xu!
Moreover, as a Fourth-tier Early Stage Demon Beast, the Seven-Colored Peacock’s divine soul was far stronger than imagined. In a moment when it squinted its eyes, streaks of golden symbols spun within its pupils, completely ignoring the distraction from the two Golden Core cultivators outside.
“Persisting in your defense, are you trying to drain our mana?”
Ancestor Xu narrowed his eyes, scoffing, “Evil beast, no matter what you try, you won’t escape Plum Blossom Valley alive today.”
Saying so, Ancestor Xu directly summoned his Nascent Soul.
That Nascent Soul cradled a milky white Chi Dragon Bi. As soon as the Nascent Soul opened its mouth chanting incantations, the Chi Dragon pattern on the Bi came to life, quickly transforming into a giant dragon of several dozen lengths, twisting its body as it surged into the array, initiating a frenzied assault.
Instantly, the treasure feathers around the Seven-Colored Peacock started making snapping sounds, quickly showing signs of faltering.
“Fellow Daoists, do not hold back, join me in slaying this fiend!”
Ancestor Xu stood in the air, the flying swords behind him humming, their Sword points directly targeting the Seven-Colored Peacock, instantly turning into a shower of sword rain, pounding into the array. Although continuously repelled by the treasure feathers, it nevertheless continued to deplete the Seven-Colored Peacock’s demonic power.
The gray-robed Golden Core old man bit the tip of his tongue, sacrificing a mouthful of lifebound essence blood, “Spurt,” he sprayed it onto the bell. The bell immediately soared into the sky, transforming into a massive bell with a radius of several dozen lengths, enveloping the space above the array. It continually resonated like muffled thunder, relentlessly striking towards the Fourth-tier Demon Beast within.
The female cultivator with the bamboo flute played her flute while taking out several top-grade spiritual artifacts from her Storage Bag, lightly flicking her fingertips which secreted a drop of essence blood, immediately turning the spiritual energy into penetrating cold lights that roared into the array, the clangs unceasing.
…
Dozens of miles away, Ning Daoran only watched from a distance, his body Concealing Breath, not revealing even a hint of his presence.
The Seven-Colored Peacock, trapped in a Third-tier Array, would normally bulldoze its way through with its mana, but with Ancestor Xu, a mighty Nascent Soul Old Monster, relentlessly attacking from the front, and already heavily injured, the Seven-Colored Peacock couldn’t spare its efforts.
A prolonged defense was bound to fail, and by now the Seven-Colored Peacock must be in quite a dire state.
“Fellow Daoists, continue the fierce assault!”
A quarter-hour later, Ancestor Xu’s eyes burned with fervor, sensing that the Seven-Colored Peacock was driven to desperation.
Yet, just as the two Golden Core cultivators nodded in agreement, the continuously defensive Seven-Colored Peacock, its treasure feathers nearly half depleted, suddenly stirred.
“Shua~~”
Suddenly, a filament of blood-red brilliance rose above the giant peacock’s head, then transformed into a charming middle-aged woman. After a fierce battle, she finally unleashed her own Nascent Soul!
“Be careful!”
The female cultivator with the bamboo flute shouted in alarm.

However, it was already too late. The Seven-Colored Peacock screamed sharply, and two of its True Feathers ignited, each grasped by the tiny Nascent Soul. Instantly, the body spun and hurtled them out!
“Bang, bang!”
Two crisp explosive noises later, two gaps appeared in the Illusion Sea Storm Array, and the two infused, burning True Feathers transformed into two piercing arrows shooting through the air.
Immediately, both the gray-robed old man and the female cultivator with the bamboo flute groaned in unison, their bodies directly penetrated by the True Feathers. More fatally, each True Feather carried a portion of the Seven-Colored Peacock’s Divine Skills, setting the exit wounds ablaze like ignited thin paper, rapidly burning the bodies of both Golden Core cultivators.
“Senior Xu, save me!”
The female cultivator cried out.
But there was no time for rescue; her Golden Core was ignited by the True Feather, swiftly burning her entire body, while the gray-robed old man similarly groaned, his body alight, slowly kneeling to the ground.
The Seven-Colored Peacock’s True Fire, unbearable for ordinary Golden Cores, quickly reduced them to ashes!
Of course, from the beginning, Ancestor Xu had no intention of saving them.
On the contrary, while the Seven-Colored Peacock was sacrificing and launching attacks with two True Feathers on the two Golden Core cultivators, Ancestor Xu seized the opportunity, suddenly raising his Sword point, the sixteen Flying Swords in the array instantly uniting into one, the Sword point erupting with intense light, fiercely striking the Nascent Soul of the Seven-Colored Peacock!
“Chirp, chirp~~~”
The Nascent Soul was damaged, and the Seven-Colored Peacock let out a piercing cry.
At this moment, she also decided to fight with all her might. The Nascent Soul, with a wave of its hand, caused the five True Feathers growing on the neck of the Seven-Colored Peacock to fall off and be swiftly burned in sacrifice.
This was her last chance. As a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast, the Seven-Colored Peacock had grown a total of twelve True Feathers over many years of cultivation, but today, they were almost used up.
“Xu Changyang, I want you dead without a burial place!”
Accompanied by the piercing screech of the Seven-Colored Peacock, two True Feathers exploded. They instantly tore apart the Illusion Sea Storm Array and then, transformed into three blazing feathers, they fiercely shot towards Xu Changyang amidst a sharp breaking sound!
“Dream on!”
Ancestor Xu bellowed and instantly brought out two Third-tier True Rock Talismans!
However, even the Third-tier True Rock Talismans couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the True Feathers from the Fourth-tier Demon Beast. After three continuous “puff” sounds, the three Lifebound True Feathers, like iron spears, pierced through Ancestor Xu’s body, penetrating his heart, neck, and Dantian all at once!
Immediately, Ancestor Xu was in a sorry state, with blood spurting from his neck and his heart likely pierced; even his Dantian was shattered, leaking his breath continuously.
“You vile beast, how dare you!?”
Ancestor Xu stumbled backward several steps, then suddenly sprayed a mouthful of essence blood on his fingertips, and with a raised hand, he instantly refined the sixteen Flying Swords. The metal exterior of the swords melted away, revealing the sword cores inside that resembled tree roots. In an instant, all sixteen cores converged and were fiercely thrown by Ancestor Xu.
This strike contained the highest sword intent of Ancestor Xu at the Early Nascent Soul Stage!
“Spurt!”
Amid the splattering of fresh blood, the Seven-Colored Peacock was severely injured again. The long core of the sword directly pierced through the Nascent Soul and its head, nailing the body of the Seven-Colored Peacock into the rock wall behind.
Both great Nascent Souls finally fought to a point of desperation and mutual destruction!
…
“Hmm?”
The Seven-Colored Peacock and Ancestor Xu both looked up towards the distance. A Golden Core aura was approaching rapidly, unimaginably fast.
“Boom!”
A massive surge of energy exploded in the woods. Ning Daoran, appearing as Independent Practitioner Jianjia, hovered with the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand. His eyes, icy cold, first glanced at the Seven-Colored Peacock nearing its last breath, then turned towards Ancestor Xu.
“You…”
Ancestor Xu, clutching his pierced chest, his face ashen, said, “Jianjia, Fellow Daoist… with a great demon like the Seven-Colored Peacock in front, can we set aside our grievances for now? Once we join forces to kill the Seven-Colored Peacock, afterwards—”
“Bang!”
A fierce thrust of the spear struck Ancestor Xu’s forehead, instantly causing blood to flow and his mind to go blank.
Ning Daoran didn’t utter a word, swiftly delivering a second and third spear thrust, each using the Silver Dragon Water Secret Technique with explosive force, causing Ancestor Xu’s skull to continually crack.
“You…”
Ancestor Xu’s face covered in blood: “Why so cruel…”
Ning Daoran still remained silent. There was nothing to discuss with a dying man.
Besides, someone like Ancestor Xu, an old fox, could lay traps in every sentence, like joining forces to kill the Seven-Colored Peacock, fraught with too many variables—one misstep could cost Ning Daoran his life.
With brain matter splattering, after more than ten consecutive spear thrusts, Ning Daoran finally killed Ancestor Xu!
“Buzz~~~”
A Nascent Soul resembling Ancestor Xu burst from the top of his head, its strong soul power conjuring a wave of blood that instantly engulfed Ning Daoran, spear and all.
At the brink of despair, he actually attempted a Nascent Soul Possession!
How could Ning Daoran be unprepared? The moment Ancestor Xu’s Nascent Soul launched its possession attack, Ning Daoran detonated a Third-tier High-Grade Breaking Prohibition Talisman he held, causing the space to become extremely chaotic, impacting the Nascent Soul and temporarily preventing its teleportation.
The next moment, the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique and the Eternal Green Technique roared into operation, and Ning Daoran’s soul strength surged several times over!
“You…”
Ancestor Xu’s Nascent Soul was shocked, the premise of possession being that the soul power overwhelmingly surpasses the opponent, capable of immediate domination. However, surrounded by a dull-grey light cocoon formed by soul power, it left Ancestor Xu’s Nascent Soul feeling an unprecedented pressure, rendering it unable to invade Ning Daoran’s physical body, let alone possess it.
“Buzz!”
Ning Daoran delivered a powerful thrust to the Nascent Soul’s forehead, sending Ancestor Xu’s Nascent Soul wailing in pain, and then echoing in the air, a massive Pagoda rose up!
It was indeed the Soul Refining Tower!
“Impossible… absolutely impossible…”
Ancestor Xu’s Nascent Soul was instantly locked by the aura of the Soul Refining Tower. Despite its desperate struggles, it was like a fish swept back by a strong current, about to be collected inside the Soul Refining Tower in the blink of an eye!
