Chapter 662 Yu the Great Suppresses the Sea
"No wonder the sect leader said that Qingyang Marquis's combat strength is rare in this world."

Pei Lie, as a Grandmaster, also possesses the power to fight and kill a nine-headed dragon.

But he could never be as composed or as ruthless as Zhang Yuan.

Based on these three strikes alone, Qingyang Hou's combat strength far surpasses that of this Grandmaster of the Nine Yang Sword Sect.

"boom--"

The knife marks stretched across Zhenhai Island, then collapsed three zhang (approximately 10 meters) to reveal eighteen giant bronze pillars with coiled dragons.

These giant pillars plunge into the seabed, and each pillar is engraved with the ancient seal script phrase "dividing the sea and calming the waves".

The chain is made entirely of Shoushan red copper and Beihai black ice iron. The chain links, which are more than ten feet thick, are densely covered with Kui dragon and thunder patterns carved since ancient times.

At this moment, the chain was soaked in the demonic blood of the Xuanjia Turtle swarm, and tens of thousands of gold-devouring sea ants were gnawing at the lock head etched with the inscription "Yu Zhen Jiu Chuan".

The bronze surface was covered with honeycomb-like holes, and the flowing crimson iron molten metal actually solidified into dozens of nine-headed black dragon phantoms on the seabed!
"This is the Sea-Suppressing Pillar used by King Yu to subdue the dragon and suppress the sea..." Yu Wanjun's eyes widened, his astonishment impossible to conceal.

Are those ancient legends true?

"The Dragon-Locking Chains have had thirty percent of their spiritual essence tainted by demon blood," Yin Jiuyou said in a low voice beside Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan tightened his grip on the hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Blade, and a dragon's roar resonated from within the scabbard, echoing with the bronze pillar: "Lu Tianshu, suppress the demon."

"promise--"

Lu Tianshu, the head of the Demon Suppression Division, bowed and clasped his hands in greeting before leaping into the air.

The golden scale phantom formed from the essence of the dragon suddenly swung its tail and collided violently with the dragon relief that rose from the surface of the bronze pillar!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the eight hundred Blood Spider Guards shot poisoned steel nails into the cracks in the iron chains, and the Corrosive Poisonous Mist that spread like spider silk instantly perished together with the Gold-Eating Sea Ants.

Without Zhang Yuan's instruction, the Spirit Array Division Chief Zhen Xuan seized the opportunity to throw out forty-nine star-fixing discs. The Big Dipper's starlight flowed into the chain rings along the thunder patterns of the Sea-Suppressing Pillar, and brand-new bronze branches sprouted from the rusted areas!
Where Yin Jiuyou's command flag pointed, the Ministry of Works' Hundred Refinement Demon Bone Furnace spewed out the natal demonic fire of the Burning Sea Fire Phoenix.

The flames churning within were none other than the Xuanjiao leader whose soul had been extracted and refined by Lu Tianshu the day before!

Three thousand crimson arrows reformed into the form of a Fiery Phoenix in the fire. The sparks scattered when its wings flapped turned into fire crows, which accurately pierced the twelve Xuanjia Turtle Kings that were tearing at the Zhenhai Pillar.

"The sword formation seals off the seabed," Yu Wanjun's voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Yang Sword Sect sent out 100,000 flying swords, which formed an array and sank into the seabed.

Pei Lie channeled starlight into the Sword Prison, pinning the nine-headed black dragon, which was attempting to escape, to the bronze pillar's relief of "Yu Locks the Nine Infants."

The copper rust that broke off the chains and the demon blood congealed into crimson stalactites, and Xue Dingyue took the opportunity to throw out the Xuan Turtle Shield, which suddenly grew larger.

The eerie light emanating from the demonic eyes on the shield caused the Nine-Headed Black Dragon's scales to fall off three times faster!
"Refining!"

With a long shout, Yuwen Guyang commanded the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to activate the Hundred Refinement Demon Bone Furnace. The flames spread for thousands of feet, gathering the scattered sea demons into the cauldron.

Crimson flames rose, and all the sea monsters in the cauldron were transformed into their essence and blood.

"Om-"

Zhang Yuanlong drew his Sparrow Blade completely, its blade energy slicing through the necks of the two nine-headed Xuanjiao dragons charging towards him.

In an instant, the seven-story Demon-Locking Tower of the Demon-Suppressing Division, which Mo Xuan was carrying on his shoulder, burst forth with beams of bluish-gray light.

That was the scene where the demon's soul was collected.

At this moment, everyone realized that Qingyang Hou's true fighting power was the ability to slay two dragons with a single strike!
"Zheng——"

Zhang Yuan's sword energy swept across Zhenhai Island.

The dragon bone chain pierced into the demon's body along the knife mark, forcibly pulling the thirty-zhang-long dragon's spine into a chain-like shape.

The broken part of the Sea-Locking Chain was filled with newly refined demon bones, and the dragon relief on the surface of the bronze pillar suddenly raised its head and roared.

The ancient seal script of King Yu, which had been tainted by the blood of the Xuanjia tortoise, has once again shone with golden light!

Nine coral altars rose from beneath the sea, forming the blood sacrifice array set up by the demon race to defile the Sea-Suppressing Pillar.

The twelve poison masters of the Secret Medicine Division unleashed the Corrupting Heaven Poison Banner, instantly turning the 100,000 low-level sea monsters struggling within the array into foul-smelling blood. The wisps of smoke rising from the altar condensed in the air to form the character "镇" (zhen, meaning "suppress"). The demon array was cleansed with demon blood!
"Hey!"

The last Xuanhuo Jiao was torn apart by the Golden-Winged Roc, and its demon core was embedded in the reverse scale of the Chilong at the top of the Zhenhai Pillar.

The golden light erupting from the bronze pillars swept across the vast sea, and the fleeing Xuanjia turtles evaporated into scattered demonic energy beads within the light curtain.

The mighty power that King Yu used to divide the sea and suppress the demons has descended upon the East Sea once again after ten thousand years!

"Take Zhenhai Island and wipe out all the demons."

Zhang Yuan, standing with his knife in hand, spoke with a voice that resonated throughout the heavens and earth, exuding supreme majesty.

"promise--"

Before the words were even finished, the poisonous miasma of the Northwest had already torn through the clouds.

Bodhi, the chief physician of the Secret Medicine Department, rode a three-legged green toad, breaking through the waves, while the eight hundred Blood Spider Guards wore demon-binding ropes that gleamed with purple light.

"The Corrosive Poisonous Mist has taken hold; within half a quarter of an hour, it will surely turn a million low-level demonic beasts in the Lava Cave into bloody mud!"

As the eastern sky suddenly brightened, the leader of the Spirit Array Division, Xuan Cheng Golden-Winged Roc, swooped out, and three thousand Thunderwing Tiger Riders rode on starlight to seal off the airspace.

The moment the Zhou Tian Star Array was deployed, the swords of 100,000 sword cultivators rang out in unison.

With the power of the spirit array, the Nine Yang Sword Sect's sword array power has increased by at least 70%!
"Suppress the demon—"

With Lu Tianchu's furious roar, the seven-story Demon-Locking Tower that Mo Xuan was carrying on his shoulder shattered the void.

The hundred-foot-long golden phantom formed from the essence of the dragon raised its head and roared, while the lightning unleashed by its dragon horns cleaved the three-headed Bone-Eating Fish King into charred remains.

Yu Wanjun looked ahead and saw that the trajectory of the dragon spirit's tail was exactly the same as the Yu the Great's flood control picture on the bronze pillar!
"It seems that the legacy of the Demon Suppression Bureau and the legacy of the Sea Suppression Bureau are originally from the same lineage."

A hint of curiosity flickered in Yu Wanjun's eyes.

"boom!"

A crimson waterfall, formed by the fusion of lava and poisonous miasma, swept across the sky, refining the seven-headed Xuanhuo dragon into boiling molten iron.

The Hundred Refinement Demon Bone Furnace, operated by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, roared into action. The essence blood of the Burning Sea Fire Phoenix within the furnace transformed into 36,000 crimson feather arrows, which rained down on the fleeing Xuanjia Turtle horde.

The 100,000 sword cultivators remained completely silent.

Rumor has it that the weapon refiners in the Ministry of Works, who are only responsible for logistics and weapon refining, actually possess such ruthless methods!
Pei Lie ran his fingertips over the cracked jade ornament on the sword sheath.

The material of these arrows is clearly mixed with the reverse scales of the Thunder Dragon that was killed the day before yesterday!

This is the Qin Dynasty.

"Form ranks—"

Marquis Zhang Yuan of Qingyang stood in mid-air, while below, Yu Wanjun and other personal guards shouted, ordering the 50,000 black-armored guards to form the "Eight Desolations Mountain-Suppressing Formation".

Although the formation was unfamiliar, the army's formation already possessed considerable imposing presence.

Qi and blood condensed into nine illusory images of black turtles, each a hundred feet tall, with faint demonic patterns flowing on their shells.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, a muffled sound of a heavy object piercing the void came from the northwest horizon, and purplish-black poisonous miasma tore through the sky.

The commander of the Secret Medicine Bureau, Yao Puti, slammed his bronze spider puppet to the ground. The venom splashed out as the spider's legs pierced the reef melted the three lurking demons into blood.

The battle formation is complete.

Eight hundred half-demon assassins emerged from the poisonous fog. These modified soldiers had blood spider venom sacs embedded in their left arms, and their spines were implanted with thunder dragon spines. Their eyes were red and demonic.

"Reporting to the Marquis, we have brought eighteen canisters of Netherworld Poison Fire and laid out the Corrosive Poisonous Mist. Within half a quarter of an hour, the low-level demonic beasts on Zhenhai Island will surely turn into pus and blood!"

Before the words were even finished, the earth's veins on the eastern sea surged like a dragon.
