The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1044 Victory
Although the "Invisible Demon Soldier" transformed into the "Inugami" evil sword was truly only at the level of a supernatural artifact, otherwise the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" wouldn't be able to use it, due to its "magical weapon" nature, the numerical values ​​wouldn't lie. Therefore, the "black mist" surrounding the "Shell" monster had almost no effect on "disrupting" its laws and mysteries, and even suffered some backlash.

That's why its incredibly hard spiral shell was easily cut in two!
However, even a "severing in two" technique is not a fatal wound for cultivators with supernatural powers, let alone for monsters with demonic bloodlines. It can only be described as severely injuring the opponent.

—The "Inugami" sword contains a vicious curse, and even with the "Shell" monster's regenerative abilities, it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

Strike while the iron is hot. Su Xuanbing, who was acting as a substitute, naturally knew this principle. She inserted a mechanical arm directly into the cut-open shell and instantly released a large amount of "True Sun Fire".

The golden flames grew rapidly and spread after being stained with the monster's blood, showing an unstoppable momentum that would not stop until the opponent was completely burned.

To be honest, this superior divine power, which is derived from the "holy water of the sun" produced by the "Great Sun Lamp," is quite effective against evil spirits and demons, but under normal circumstances, even if it is unleashed from inside the "snail shell" monster, it is difficult to truly kill it.

But the situation at this moment is somewhat "unusual"... because the "Shell" monster has been successfully anchored to the fate of "death" by the "Northern Dipper Death Curse".

This was originally an extremely low probability event, but with the blessing of the "Destiny Pool," even the smallest chance became inevitable.

So when the "shell" monster was being burned so badly by the "true fire of the sun" that it was preparing to "disrupt" the laws of heaven and earth and regenerate its body in the ocean, it was shocked to find that it could no longer use its abilities!
A wisp of "true solar fire" coincidentally ignited the medium through which it communicated with the "ancestral bloodline," preventing its supernatural ability from functioning properly.

This is somewhat similar to when Zhao Chen used the "Joyful" lineage's methods to block Zheng Qingyan's projection from using the "Undying Body of the Evil Dragon" in the "Tai Xiao Secret Realm," but back then it was based on his in-depth understanding of the dragon girl's physical structure, while this time it was entirely "luck."

"This is impossible!" the spiral-shelled monster roared after regaining its senses, but at that moment, the "True Fire of the Sun" had already burned from the inside to its head, filling its mouth and eyes with golden light.

"To deal with these kinds of monsters, we still need to disable their domain aura first... Without that, these large creatures become easy targets, making them much easier to destroy..." Zhao Chen himself commented with satisfaction, thanks to the substitute's help.

"However, it's only because I have a variety of methods that I can withstand being attacked head-on. If it were other cultivators with supernatural powers, they would probably be too busy running for their lives to have the energy to calmly dismantle the 'halo' once they were in close combat."
"If monsters are like this, then human martial artists must be even more troublesome... No wonder martial artists who have mastered combat techniques are among the top in terms of combat power among their peers."

As Zhao Chen was pondering, the "shell" monster let out a final mournful cry, its body rapidly shrinking until it transformed into a black "conch" with only half remaining, which then fell into the sea.

This half of the conch shell is where its power and status are concentrated, and it is also the embodiment of the profound laws it has mastered, somewhat similar to the "characteristics" created by Western sorcerers using demons.

The reason why only half of it remains is because the part related to the "Dragon King" was accidentally burned by the "True Fire of the Sun".

Zhao Chen stretched out his palm and used the "Myriad Phenomena" technique to simulate the "Star-Picking Hand" of the Thieves' Sect, scooping the "black conch" that had sunk into the seawater into his palm from a distance, and then threw it directly into the "warehouse".

Now is not the time to study this thing. Although the "Shell" monster is dead, there are still more than ten monsters around the Three Immortal Islands, and the battle is still ongoing.

However, the "Pinduoduo" monster, whose head, body, arms, and legs were completely mismatched and each had its own unique features, suddenly erupted after witnessing the tragic state of the "Shell," firing a powerful light bullet from its fist and forcing the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" back.

Then, it completely retracted the "purple electric light" field it had been releasing to its body surface, enveloping its entire body in purple light. It then compressed itself into a ball of light and shot off toward the deep sea... It just ran away without looking back!
Its speed was so fast that neither Zhao Chen nor Su Xuanbing, who was acting as a substitute, had time to stop it.

"Was it frightened by the way we killed its companions?" Zhao Chen shook his head, not expecting that these giant beasts, which were terrifying and evil in the eyes of others, were so cowardly, no different from bandits.

"It seems that although they are intelligent, without a superior to drive them, their behavior logic is closer to that of 'wild beasts,' and they know how to seek advantage and avoid harm. No wonder the military defines them more as sea monsters or monsters."

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen extended his divine sense and exchanged a few words with Ling Wei, who had just noticed the situation. Then, he once again had the mark drive the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" to attack the four monsters that Pavilion Master Ling was blocking.

Compared to the three monsters that were sealed by the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones," burned to death by the "True Fire of the Sun," and those that escaped, the four monsters here are much weaker.

Even among them, only two can use the "domain aura," while the other two rely entirely on their massive bodies to exert their power.

Because Ling Wei intentionally used the island-protecting formation to shield their senses, these four monsters were unaware that their three leading "big brothers" were gone.

So Zhao Chen used the same trick again, once again using the Thieves' Sect's "Cloud Body and Smoke Body" supernatural power to merge into the void, but this time he also brought along the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body".

In any other setting, it would be easy to spot the clues, but at this moment, various supernatural powers were mixed outside the Three Immortal Islands, and the laws of heaven and earth were in disarray, which greatly affected the monsters' perception.

Of course, being thick-skinned and possessing the characteristic of "immortality," they are not good at sensing.

Therefore, it wasn't until the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" entered the "domain aura" of one of the monsters that they suddenly realized the arrival of the enemy and the fact that the three leading "big brothers" were missing.

But it was already too late.

Under the command of Su Xuanbing's imprint, the three-headed, six-armed "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" appeared and blocked one of the monsters with a "halo". It used the "Binding Calamity Suppressing Ring" to erode the halo, making it only able to protect itself and unable to help the two monsters without the "halo" ability.

Immediately afterwards, the "Divine Eagle Vajra Body" extended two arms attached to the "Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones," and taking advantage of the moment when the two monsters were briefly unable to resist, it activated the great supernatural power of "Demon King Binding Body."

—At Zhao Chen's current level, sealing three monsters of the same level is already a heavy burden. Any more would likely give them a chance to escape.

As for the last monster with the strongest aura, it was temporarily trapped by Pavilion Master Lingwei using the island-protecting formation.

Thus, in this great battle of attack and defense of the three immortal islands, the human side finally gained the upper hand.
