In the global desert, I have a spring of spiritual water.

As the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation was activated, countless crystal-clear water blades suddenly condensed in mid-air, like an inverted Milky Way. At the same time, the array patterns on the ground spread wildly from the spiritual spring, firmly locking hundreds of sand demons within the formation.

The next moment, a thousand blades were unleashed simultaneously. The hundreds of sand demons at the forefront were shredded into a cloud of blood mist by the water blades before they could even scream. The energy stones of the Ding and Bing grades fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the demon-suppressing team members on the city wall were all stunned. They had already given up hope when they saw such a large-scale sand demon attack on the city.

After all, last night, it was already very difficult to deal with just a second-tier Saliva-Faced Ghost Spider. It took Chen Chuan, Geng Hu, and Hu Changhe working together to barely kill it.

Today, there are three second-tier sand demons in the demon horde. In addition to the Saliva-Faced Ghost Spider, there is also a second-tier Throat-Splitting Tongue Demon that is about five meters tall. That guy is two meters taller than the city wall. The demon-suppressing team members have no idea how to stop it.

However, just as Chen Chuan arrived at the scene, the situation took a dramatic turn. The young manor lord had set up some kind of formation, and with a single attack, more than a hundred sand demons were turned into blood mist.

With such a powerful formation, the demon-suppressing team members' confidence immediately soared.

This was also the first time Chen Chuan had activated the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation, and he hadn't expected the formation to be so powerful.

At this moment, the two second-tier Saliva-Faced Ghost Spiders and the second-tier Throat-Splitting Tongue Demon were already within the attack range of the formation.

The Saliva-Faced Ghost Spider frantically spat out spider silk, quickly weaving a large net in front of it in an attempt to defend against the flying water blades. At first, the huge spider web did have a certain defensive effect, as the water blades instantly turned into water droplets upon impact and hung on the spider web.

But the water blades kept coming, and the spider web quickly reached its defensive limit. Several more water blades struck it, and the spider web shattered with a crash.

Immediately afterwards, countless water blades pierced the twisted human face of the Saliva-Faced Ghost Spider. In just a few breaths, the two second-tier Saliva-Faced Ghost Spiders were blasted into a bloody mist by thousands of water blades.

Upon seeing this, cheers erupted from the city wall.

The scene of Chen Chuan trapping the second-tier Saliva-Faced Ghost Spider with the Golden Bell Formation last night, and Geng Hu and Hu Changhe engaging in close combat with knives, is still vivid in my mind. Tonight, there is no need to take that kind of risk again.

Second-tier sand demons are clearly no longer a threat to Taipingzhuang, while first-tier sand demons are nothing more than cannon fodder.

After the two Tier 2 Saliva-Faced Ghost Spiders died, Chen Chuan's gaze fell on his "new friend," the Tier 2 Throat-Splitting Tongue Demon. It had no ability to weave webs and relied entirely on its physical body to withstand attacks. And its physical body was indeed strong enough that the water blades could only leave a shallow mark when they hit it.

The throat-splitting tongue demon trapped in the formation was extremely agitated. It frantically lashed out with its long tongue, heading step by step toward the spirit spring despite the attacks of the water blades. Clearly, this creature was intelligent and seemed to know that the spirit spring was the core of the formation and wanted to destroy it.

However, as all the first-tier sand demons within the formation were eliminated, the water blades, which were originally like flying swords, suddenly changed their form and became huge ring-shaped water blades.

The next moment, the ring-shaped water blades spun out in layers, like countless silver moons, dazzling in their brilliance.

The power of this ring-shaped water blade was obviously much greater than that of the flying sword-like water blade. A ring-shaped water blade struck the tongue of the throat-splitting tongue demon, and the thick tongue that was dragging on the ground was instantly severed, and blackish-green demon blood gushed out.

The tongue-splitting demon roared in agony, its severed tongue still twitching and writhing on the ground.

Before it could react, a second and a third water blade came one after another, the high-speed spinning water blades slicing into its body, tearing its demon skin layer by layer, tearing its muscles, and shattering its demon bones.

A moment later, the five-meter-tall throat-splitting tongue demon was shredded into hundreds of pieces by the ring-shaped water blades and was beyond dead!

Upon seeing this, excited cheers erupted once again from the city wall.

Chen Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation wouldn't be able to break through the defense of that second-tier Rift-throat Tongue Demon, but it turned out that the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation also had the ability to self-correct its attack method.

In terms of attack effects, the flying sword water blade is a conventional attack method, which is a basic attack, while the ring water blade is a special move!

Hundreds of sand demons died instantly within the formation, and the demon horde following behind immediately stopped, but did not disperse immediately, seemingly observing.

At this moment, Chen Chuan turned to look at Hu Changhe beside him and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Uh, I meant to say that the Master's formations are unparalleled in the world!"

Before the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation was activated, Hu Changhe saw three second-tier sand demons among the demon horde and was saying that he didn't know if Taiping Village could hold out.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all three second-tier sand demons turned into blood mist. This formation was simply terrifying.

Chen Chuan smiled, rested one hand on the crenellation, and looked out of the city. The demon horde still did not move, but the Overturned Water Demon Extermination Array outside the city had changed. The array patterns appeared on the ground and began to absorb the demon blood. Soon the white array patterns turned black. After a while, the array patterns disappeared, and the demon blood and bits of flesh on the ground also disappeared, as if those hundreds of sand demons had never been there.

Chen Chuan's eyes lit up when he saw this. It was recorded in the "Beginner's Guide to Formations" that this was the Demon-Devouring Tempering Formation!

There are usually two ways to upgrade the level of an array. One way is for the person setting up the array to reach a certain level of cultivation and then add more array materials to upgrade the array level.

Another method is the Devouring Demon Tempering Array, which upgrades the array level by absorbing the corpses of sand demons.

The Overturned Water Demon Extermination Formation is upgraded through the method of devouring demons and tempering the formation. According to the "Beginner Formation Guide", a level one Overturned Water Demon Extermination Formation needs to devour 10,000 level one sand demon corpses to be upgraded to level two.

"Master, the demons have retreated."

Just as Chen Chuan was observing the changes in the formation, Hu Changhe's voice rang in his ears.

Chen Chuan looked up into the distance. Due to the limited range of the lighthouse's illumination, he couldn't actually see the end of the demon horde from the city wall. He didn't know how many sand demons were in the darkness. However, the sand demons that had originally intended to attack the city had all changed direction and retreated into the thick, inky night.

Gradually, only a dense array of disappearing black shadows could be seen at the boundary between light and shadow. They were like a black mist driven by a gale, vanishing into the desolate desert in an instant.

They survived another sand monster attack on the city.

The demon-suppressing team members were all beaming with joy at surviving a disaster. Under Hu Changhe's organization, they went out of the city to collect the energy stones dropped by the sand demon.

Tonight, the Overturned Water Demon-Slaying Formation killed hundreds of sand demons, dropping a total of 7 Grade B energy stones, 243 Grade C energy stones, and 3012 Grade D energy stones.

Besides these energy stones, Hu Changhe also found a palm-sized piece of demon armor. This thing was dropped by the Rift-throat Tongue Demon and is a rare and precious material that can be used in medicine and as a material for refining weapons.
