Seal Failed

After Elder Shen finished drawing his own formation, he stood anxiously in the center of the array, resisting the increasingly violent evil qi around him. His eyes locked on at the slowly converging spiritual line consisting of spiritual power under his feet.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, we’re almost there!

“Be careful!” Chen Yu suddenly shouted, running desperately toward Elder Shen.

“Poof!” A pitch-black long saber made of unknown material suddenly penetrated the ground, and along with the tip of the saber came a violent evil qi. Like lava spewing from a volcanic eruption, it devoured every piece of space it passed through with a destructive force.

“Shen Qingzhu!” Elder Wu and Chen Yu watched as Elder Shen bore the brunt of it, and was hurled out by the evil qi. 

Just as Elder Wu was about to run over to check Shen Qingzhu’s condition, he saw another tremor under his feet. A dark palm suddenly stretched out from the place where the long knife had just pierced. The majestic evil qi around began to spin rapidly, forming a huge vortex. The vortex blocked Elder Wu and prevented him from moving.

“I’ll go.” The evil qi didn’t affect Chen Yu, so she speedily bypassed Elder Wu and dashed toward the place where Elder Shen crashed .

Seeing that Chen Yu had gone to save Shen Qingzhu, Elder Wu immediately dodged and shouted to the other Celestial Master Chen around him, “Get out everyone. The drought demon is coming out.”

All the Celestial Masters had already sensed that something was wrong, and when they heard Elder Wu’s shout, they immediately turned around and ran outside the Coiled Dragon Array.

Chen Yu passed through the vortex, crossed the zombie palm sticking out from the ground, and ran forward in a few steps. Soon, she saw Elder Shen who was ejected by the evil qi, with blood dripping from the left corner of his mouth.

“Master Shen, let me take you out.” Chen Yu helped Elder Shen and turned to walk outside the array.

“N-No…” Elder Shen struggled and refused to move. He pointed to the center of the array and said, “The Coiled Dragon Array…has not started yet.”

Chen Yu looked behind her and found that on the ground covered by red evil qi, a complex line of spiritual power was faintly shining with spiritual light… against all odds, they finished drawing the Coiled Dragon Array.

“I… I’m going to…” Elder Shen struggled to move forward to activate the array.

“Boom!”

The drought demon underground got a little impatient, and withdrew the long saber, followed by another punch, which directly blasted away the soil covering the top of his head. Then two palms stretched out from the hole, grabbed the ground, and then he stuck his head out.

“I’ll go!” Chen Yu gritted her teeth. She released Elder Shen, turned and ran quickly to the center of the array.

Because it took Chen Yu a lot of spiritual power to set up the array earlier, she was afraid that her spiritual power was not enough to activate the array. To be on the safe side, she took out the Green Spirit Hairpin that Lou Ming left for her when he left. Seeing that drought demon was about to crawl out of the ground, Chen Yu lunged forward. She scampered toward the demon, stuck behind his head and inserted the Green Spirit Hairpin into the center of the array.

“Bzzz!”

With a soft click, the Coiled Dragon Array was activated. The spiritual power strung the crisscrossing array diagrams together, and the surrounding spirit qi also began to converge through the evil qi toward the center of the array.

It’s done. Chen Yu raised her head. Who would have thought that she’d be caught off guard by a pair of bloodshot eyes?

“It’s you!” The drought demon opened its mouth, and a foul odor blew by, which was a thousand times stronger than the evil qi. Chen Yu almost fainted.

Chen Yu held her breath and used a lot of willpower to prevent herself from passing out. She then tapped the Green Spirit Hairpin with her right hand, and sent it into the ground. She followed it with her left hand as she propped up the ground and rolled over.

“Boom!”

Chen Yu narrowly avoided the fist that the drought demon swung. She stood up and ran out non-stop.

“Go!” Chen Yu caught up with Elder Shen who hadn’t gone far, and pulled him to continue running outside.

“Whoosh!”

When they were almost outside the array range, Chen Yu heard a strange sound behind her. She reflexively pushed Elder Shen to the right and dodged to the other side. The split second the two separated, a long saber with a length of more than one meter swished between them, and then sank into the earth’s surface. 

Dang!

Even though Chen Yu was far from it, the malevolent murderous aura still gave her the goosebumps. However, it also gave Chen Yu the perfect opportunity to get rid of the weapon. She rose to her feet and went to pull the drought demon’s long saber, trying to bring it away from the barrier.
