Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful again, the Town Sea King also paused his offensive. The black and blue light around his body flickered constantly. The bloodstains that had been clawed out by the giant claws earlier were visibly recovering.
At the same time, there was a constant rumbling sound above his head, and black rain began to fall.
Zhang Ling's expression became extremely solemn. The falling black water was precisely the power of the conch magic weapon released by the Town Sea King.
The conch magic weapon had already moved above the sandstorm formed by the Heavenly Star Sand, spinning around and around, like a dark cloud, constantly dripping black water droplets.
When these black water droplets fell into the sand layer, the surrounding floating Heavenly Star Sand became viscous, like a muddy water, making it difficult to manipulate.
At the same time, a layer of black mist rose up, spreading across the entire sky in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Ling could feel that the black water exuded a special water spiritual power, which was obviously not transformed from ordinary water spiritual power. The rising black mist was also quite strange and also had the power to hinder divine consciousness.
With a thought, he summoned the Earth Origin Calabash, quickly gathering the surrounding Heavenly Star Sand around him. At the same time, the seven flying swords and the black bone giant claws were also brought back under his control.
Originally, Zhang Ling wanted to set up the Wrath Earth Formation, but now it seemed that these black waters were quite restrained against his Heavenly Star Sand. He could only give up on that idea.
At the same time, a ball of yellow sand protecting the Xuan Turtle also floated to his side, and the Nascent Soul puppet also hid within it.
Under the induction of his mind, the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram sealed in the Xuan Turtle's hand had turned into a black ice block. Although it was still vibrating slightly, it had already quieted down.
It seemed that the seal was almost complete. As long as he delayed for a moment, he would be able to escape safely.
At this time, all the black water released by the huge conch had converged around the Town Sea King, forming a black water stream.
"With your strength, it seems that I have to expend some essence to take you down," the Town Sea King groaned, and his figure disappeared into the black water.
The water flowed rapidly with a rumbling sound, and the drifting black mist became even thicker. A faint shadow of a huge Flood Dragon could be seen appearing within it.
The entire sky became dark and gloomy.
Zhang Ling's expression was solemn. The Town Sea King had become truly enraged and seemed to be about to use some great divine power.
The dark and hazy water mist rippled over, and Zhang Ling once again summoned the palm fan, conjuring a gust of wind to blow away a large amount of black mist.
However, the black mist continuously surged over. No matter how the wind swept through, only a third of it was blown away. The black mist already had a tendency to surround him.
Zhang Ling changed the magic seals in his hand, intending to use other methods to dispel the black mist.
At this moment, a dragon roar came from the front. In the black mist, a pair of ghostly blue giant eyes appeared, staring fixedly at him. The eyes were full of violent and icy coldness.
This was naturally the gaze of the Town Sea King.
At this moment, this demon's body had grown wildly, reaching at least five or six hundred feet in length. It was like a real dragon, overturning rivers and seas.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a ferocious Flood Dragon head opened its bloody mouth, with a dazzling blue light flashing within it. Upon closer inspection, it was actually this demon's demon core.
The transformed demon beasts that have opened their spiritual intelligence rarely offer their demon cores directly against the enemy in battle. Because the demon core itself is not a battle treasure like a magic weapon.
Instead, it is a life-related natal spiritual object. Once damaged, it will cause the demon cultivator's strength to decline instantly.
However, offering the demon core can often unleash some powerful natal divine powers.
Feeling that the Town Sea King's aura had climbed more than half again, Zhang Ling's face paled slightly. He quickly changed the magic seals, and layers of Heavenly Star Sand continuously stacked up, forming circles of thick stone walls, protecting himself and the Xuan Turtle.
The seven flying swords also transformed into pieces of sword light, surrounding his body, forming another layer of defense.
At the same time, he lit up a flame in his hand and continued to release the Wind and Fire Ball. A red light and a green light hit it.
Dense, two-colored cyan and red runes lit up on the Wind and Fire Ball. Two miniature piglets also flew out from it, circling around the treasure happily.
It looked a little funny, like a secular toy for children to play with. But as the piglets flew, the runes on the Wind and Fire Ball intertwined, gathering into a flame group a zhang wide.
"Humph, a fire attribute treasure, you're really courting death. You dare to display fire magic in front of me..." The Town Sea King naturally noticed Zhang Ling's actions, but just sneered.
He was a tenth-order great demon proficient in water control magic. No cultivator who dared to display fire attribute supernatural powers in front of him would have a good end.
With a wild laugh, the blue light in the Town Sea King's mouth shone brightly. He had finished casting the spell and spat out groups of blue mist.
These mists turned into a gust of icy cold wind and blew over quickly. The powerful wind pressure collided with Zhang Ling's outer layer of sword light defense.
With a burst of popping sounds, the movement was not loud, but Zhang Ling immediately sensed that the sword light transformed by the flying swords was all covered with a layer of frost under this cold wind. Its power was greatly reduced.
After a wave of cold wind passed, the outermost layer of sword light defense was blown full of holes. More icy cold air seeped into the sand ball.
The flowing Heavenly Star Sand layer also changed a lot. In the sand layer, crystal clear ice flowers actually grew.
Zhang Ling was secretly shocked. This demon's supernatural power almost broke his two layers of defense in an instant. This cold wind carried extremely cold air and had extremely strong penetrating power.
What made him even more anxious was that he no longer had any extra spiritual power to strengthen his defense at this moment.
He had mastered the first layer of the Tongbao Art of the Wind and Fire Ball, a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and Zhang Ling was confident that he could cope with the Town Sea King if he used it.
But using the Tongbao Art to activate this treasure consumed a lot of spiritual power. At this moment, under full display, the Wind and Fire Ball was devouring his spiritual power with all its strength.
Three to forty percent of the spiritual power in his body was instantly devoured, and the treasure had not yet been activated.
Seeing that the sword light and the Heavenly Star Sand layer had been broken for the most part, the icy cold wind blew on his body, making people shudder.
In desperation, Zhang Ling hurriedly spat out a ball of blood essence, turning it into a cloud of blood mist, and integrated it into the Heavenly Star Sand.
The golden Heavenly Star Sand turned into a blood sand when illuminated by a blood light. The flow rate also returned to its original fast-flowing state, crushing all the frozen ice flowers inside. It re-formed a thick defense layer.
At the same time, the Nascent Soul puppet, which had always been standing behind to support, was also quickly offering the Xuan Wood Shield made of ten thousand years of Xuan Wood under the control of Zhang Ling's divine sense, turning it into a wooden shield three or four zhang in size and blocking it at the outermost layer.
Offsetting the cold wind that was rushing towards the front.
Correspondingly, a thick layer of frost immediately covered the Xuan Wood Shield.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the Nascent Soul puppet's spiritual power, the wooden shield vibrated bang bang, shaking off the frost on it. It was still no problem to resist for a moment.
Humph!
A cold snort came into his ears, followed by a loud bang, and a dazzling golden light, like a meteor, hit the Xuan Wood Shield.
With a crackling sound, wood chips flew around, a large pit was blasted out of the wooden shield, and several fine cracks appeared.
It turned out that the golden horn on the Town Sea King's head once again emitted waves of golden light attacks. These attacks fell on the Xuan Wood Shield, instantly making this magic weapon riddled with holes.
The Town Sea King showed surprise in his eyes when he saw this scene. He knew how powerful his horn attack was. Ordinary defensive magic weapons would be broken after at most one or two attacks.
But now, an inconspicuous wooden shield had resisted several waves of attacks. He couldn't help but be surprised. The Town Sea King's eyes instantly turned blood red, and a violent heart rose up. He controlled his huge demon body and charged over with a powerful ice wind.
With a loud bang, the Xuan Wood Shield, which was blocking the front, finally couldn't bear the load and was instantly shattered into seventeen or eight pieces of wood under the sweep of the Town Sea King's huge tail.
The power of this attack did not diminish, and the sand layer defense was also broken up by a small half. The Nascent Soul puppet was also thrown out along with a large piece of gravel.
The Town Sea King's huge Flood Dragon body wrapped around. The golden light of the horn flickered, releasing dazzling golden light. There were also two dark black claws grabbing and attacking.
If he was caught by the attack, Zhang Ling would definitely die.
At the critical moment, the Wind and Fire Ball in Zhang Ling's hand shook, and the flames wrapped around it turned into a layer of cyan-red flames. In an instant, it surrounded again into a cyan-red fire ring several zhang in size.
One of the Town Sea King's claws just happened to grab on it, as if it had suffered some serious injury, and it quickly retracted the claw. The huge body twisted even more, and no longer cared about attacking, and retreated backwards.
"Too late."
Zhang Ling snorted expressionlessly, and pointed at the wind ball with one hand, and the cyan-red fire ring disappeared with a flash.
The next moment, the entire sky shook, and the surrounding air became hot. A cyan-red fire roll with a diameter of thousands of zhang appeared in the sky.
The fire ring was a thin layer, but the runes flowed on it, appearing very illusory. In the blink of an eye, the fire ring instantly shrank, and it had actually caught the Town Sea King.
It was like a huge pair of scissors suddenly closing.
The Town Sea King let out a painful tearing sound, and a layer of thick black and blue water light flashed on his body, but it didn't work at all. The fire ring was still shrinking rapidly, strangling his flesh.
The flesh and skin of the part where he was caught were rolled up, and the scales were broken.
The Town Sea King's whole body was flashing with water light, and his body was shrinking rapidly, trying to drill out of the fire ring. However, his body shrank by one point, and the fire ring shrank faster, always firmly attached to his body.
The Town Sea King's eyes were blood red, and he spewed out a black water column, hitting the fire ring, seemingly trying to extinguish the fire ring. But it didn't work either. Instead, the water column was vaporized into a cloud of white smoke.
The golden light of the horn flickered, splitting out golden light and hitting it, but it still couldn't break the fire ring.
At the same time, he sensed a violent wind and fire power coming from the fire ring, rushing into his body and raging. Making his body somewhat out of control.
The Town Sea King, who had lived for thousands of years, sensed a crisis of life and death at this moment.
He knew that he could no longer be trapped by this fire ring, otherwise, after a while, his body would be destroyed by the wind and fire power on it.
What kind of treasure is this that instantly trapped him and couldn't break free? Could it be... a spiritual treasure.
Realizing this, the Town Sea King roared and burst out with dazzling blue light. With a crisp sound, he actually made the move of breaking his tail to survive. He directly abandoned the half of his body trapped by the fire ring and escaped.
The severed tail of this demon spewed out a burst of blood and fell from the air.
Instantly gaining the upper hand, Zhang Ling controlled the fire ring and threw it towards the Town Sea King again. This time it missed, and the Town Sea King rushed into the huge conch floating in the sky faster.
The fire ring also grew in the wind, wanting to trap the conch as well.
Once trapped by the fire ring emitted by the Wind and Fire Ball, nothing could escape.
However, in an instant, the conch made a huge sound of water flow. Under the rapid vibration, it led out layers of water waves.
The fire ring rushed into it, as if it was in a countercurrent, constantly being forced back, making it difficult to land on the conch. It can be seen that this huge conch is not an ordinary treasure either.
Of course, there is another reason. After the blow just now, the power of the fire ring has weakened a lot.
At this time, Zhang Ling's face was also blue and white. He took out a small jade bottle, quickly poured out a drop of ten thousand years of spiritual liquid, and swallowed it. The spiritual power in his body is now less than 10%. Just urging the Wind and Fire Ball has consumed most of his spiritual power.
In fact, he had already activated the Wind and Fire Ball when the wooden shield was about to be broken. It's just that the Town Sea King was powerful, and even if he released an attack, it would be difficult to cause serious damage to him.
After all, they were fighting in the sky, and the field was too empty.
So he did not hesitate to take risks and lure the Town Sea King to attack him at close range. This was the only way to hit him with one blow.
With the promotion to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, even if he used the Black Bone Giant Claws with all his strength, it would only waste more than 20% of his spiritual power. But the consumption of the Wind and Fire Ball was three or four times the consumption.
Zhang Ling also felt overwhelmed. The ten thousand years of spiritual liquid melted in his mouth, turning into pure spiritual power and filling his body. He urged the magic formula again and again, and kept pointing at the Wind and Fire Ball. The two piglets on this treasure released flames and cyan silk threads. Turning into runes, they quickly flowed into the fire ring.
The power of the cyan-red fire ring recovered again.
At this time, a black light rushed out from his side, it was Xuan Turtle. He had just temporarily sealed the Dragon and Phoenix Diagram. Now Zhang Ling could ignore the Town Sea King and leave this place.
It's just that he has fought to this point, and the Town Sea King has suffered a lot of injuries. If there is a chance to kill this demon, Zhang Ling will not take this opportunity to avoid leaving a big problem.
