Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 184 Demon-Subduing Formation

Under the immense force of the whirlwind, the demon rabbit rolled a great distance until its body smashed into a huge boulder behind it, shattering it into pieces. Only then did it open its mouth, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and stop.

In the blink of an eye, the beast leaped up from the rubble, its eyes flashing with ferocity. After a roar, it transformed into a blur of fury and charged straight at Qian Yu.

His aura was not diminished by the attack just now; on the contrary, it was even stronger.

Upon seeing this, Qian Yu raised an eyebrow, raised one hand, and quickly unleashed a cyan whirlwind before his figure shot backward.

At the same time, Liu Xianglian continuously activated her magic, and the ghost flashed and once again blocked the demon rabbit. After a low roar, its five arms suddenly rose and fiercely struck out five black gusts of wind.

After the demon rabbit was forced back by the five powerful forces unleashed by the ghost, the terrifying sound wave followed.

At the same time, Qian Yu moved, and three cyan whirlwinds roared out in an instant.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

After the roar, the magic rabbit was sent flying for the second time.

"Fellow Daoist Du, you may make your move now." As the demonic rabbit returned once more, Qian Yu smiled slightly, feeling reassured, and spoke loudly.

"No problem," Du Fan replied without hesitation.

When the Demon Rabbit was knocked away by Qian Yu for the second time, he instantly understood the two's fighting style and felt that the battle was on track and there shouldn't be any major changes. His role was simply to shorten the time of the battle.

Du Fan's eyes flashed, and with a flick of his arm, the ring in his hand was instantly summoned. He quickly cast three spells into it. As the spells were cast, the ring shone brightly with golden light, dazzling and radiant, while emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

Just then, Du Fan suddenly felt his divine sense surge out like a tidal wave, heading straight for the ring.

Startled, Du Fan quickly activated the Soul Devouring Technique to forcibly suppress the flow of his divine sense. He only stopped when nearly a third of the divine sense power in his primordial spirit had been lost.

Du Fan's face was somewhat pale. He gasped and looked at the ring with horror in his eyes.

A few breaths later, his expression gradually calmed down. If his spiritual power had been drained even a little more, he probably would have given up without hesitation and turned to leave.

Immediately afterward, under Du Fan's divine sense and object manipulation, the golden ring flashed forward and, in the blink of an eye, hovered above the demon rabbit's head.

A loud buzzing sound arose, and immediately a golden glow emanated from the ring, forming a cylindrical light screen that enveloped the Demon Rabbit in an instant, completely covering its body.

Another sharp screech came from the demon rabbit's mouth, and two towering beams of blood-red light suddenly burst forth from its eyes.

However, the beast's spirit quickly waned, the terrifying blood-red light that filled its pupils disappeared completely, and its movements became somewhat sluggish.

Qian Yu was overjoyed. He flashed past in an instant and appeared right next to the Demon Rabbit. With a wave of his palm-leaf fan, gusts of azure wind swept out and slammed into the Demon Rabbit's body.

The demon rabbit was extremely shocked and furious, but there was nothing it could do. Enveloped in golden light, it felt dizzy and couldn't muster any energy. It could only endure being bombarded by a series of blue whirlwinds.

The beast's roar and its mournful scream rose together, merging into a deafening shriek.

"Junior Sister Liu, quickly set up a demon-slaying array!"

As Qian Yu flicked his palm-leaf fan, he launched another attack before suddenly turning around and shouting loudly at Liu Xianglian in the distance.

Liu Xianglian nodded, her beautiful eyes flashing suddenly. She quickly activated her magic, and the ghost's five arms swung out in unison, transforming into five powerful energies that rolled straight toward the demon rabbit.

Next, Liu Xianglian ignored the monster battle group. With a flick of her jade hand, various colored magical lights appeared and floated in mid-air, transforming into eight or nine array tools.

With a flick of her sleeve, the woman instantly activated her object manipulation technique. Moments later, the array tools fell onto the ground in a specific order, forming a rather elaborate pattern.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten beams of dark light suddenly appeared, shooting out from the woman's hand and inserting themselves around the array-setting objects. These were actually more than a dozen array flags, forming a circle of arrays with a diameter of two zhang.

The woman took a deep breath, suddenly raised her hands, and her ten fingers moved rapidly, forming a dazzling array of hand seals. With a delicate shout, these seals landed on all the array flags.

The next moment, more than ten array flags hummed in unison, and a strange energy fluctuation brewed from each flag, transforming into a tangible black light that emanated outwards, connecting the flags and all the magical artifacts within them.

Between the array flags and magical implements, black light intertwined and overlapped, soon forming clusters of incomparably dazzling black halos.

Not only were there surging energy fluctuations within, but also countless strange runes that appeared and disappeared, clearly indicating that it was a demon-slaying formation that was famous in the cultivation world!

As soon as the formation was completed, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, followed by bursts of dazzling black light that shot wildly in all directions, as dazzling as black flames and blazing suns.

Du Fan was shocked by what he saw. He had heard of the Demon Subduing Formation before; it was a special formation designed to subdue demonic beasts.

Many cultivators, with the aid of this formation, first weaken the combat power and demonic nature of magical beasts, then forcibly sign beast soul contracts with them, and finally take them as magical pets.

Back when he was at Qixia Sect, Du Fan had asked Chen Ru why she didn't use the Demon-Subduing Formation on Xue Ying to subdue her and prevent any unforeseen events from happening in the future.

At that moment, Chen Ru gently stroked Xueying, shook her head softly, and smiled as she said:

"I have a connection with Xueying and I like it very much. If one day Xueying can develop intelligence, then let it choose its own path. I will not force it to be enslaved."

So this was the first time Du Fan had witnessed this formation in person, and while he was shocked, he was also quite interested.

"Junior Sister Liu, the ghost has transformed into clouds! Fellow Daoist Du, quickly merge your spiritual artifact into the ghost!" Qian Yu shouted as he unleashed several more whirlwinds and retreated in an instant.

At this moment, the Demon Rabbit had been completely crushed by the ghosts controlled by Qianyu and Junior Sister Liu.

However, everyone present knew that this crushing was only temporary. As soon as the beast came out of the cave, it was suppressed by the three people's methods, and its current state was at its lowest point.

However, if things continue like this without taking further measures, this beast may rise to power in the future, and once that happens, the situation will truly be hopeless.

Liu Xianglian's expression was solemn. She raised her eyebrows, bit her tongue, and flicked out a drop of blood, which landed on the head of a ghost in the distance in a flash.

Then the woman raised one hand and made an unusually complex finger seal, pointing solemnly at the ghost from afar.

Without any light being emitted, the ghost suddenly stopped its attack, its body trembled, and its two heads suddenly rose up, letting out a deafening roar.

Then, a large amount of black mist emanated from the ghostly object, soon enveloping its entire body. Its human form vanished instantly, transforming into a swirling cloud of ghostly energy that rose into the air and rolled towards the demon rabbit.

Du Fan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly waved his arm. The golden ring that was originally suspended in mid-air trembled and flashed with golden light. It turned into a blur and fell into the ghost cloud in an instant, causing golden currents to flow within it.

With a flick of his wrist, Qian Yu swiftly closed the palm-leaf fan. As his ten fingers moved, a series of incantations suddenly appeared and were cast into the ghost cloud, causing it to expand rapidly.

At this moment, an energy fluctuation that seemed to surpass the Qi Refining Realm emanated from the ghost clouds, extremely powerful.

Finally, under Liu Xianglian's spell, Ghost Cloud enveloped the extremely weak Demon Rabbit and, with a swirling motion, completely enveloped the beast.

Black and golden light intertwined and flashed wildly within the ghostly cloud. With a whooshing sound, the entire black cloud, along with the demonic rabbit within it, was propelled into the sky by an invisible force and rolled rumble toward the demon-subduing formation.

Witnessing this scene, Qian Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but various colored spell lights continued to shoot out from his hands, like dense raindrops, into the ghost cloud, allowing the cloud to maintain a certain amount of energy.

When the golden ring merged with the ghost and the power of his divine sense was withdrawn, Du Fan immediately felt relieved. Then, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze turned to the demon-subduing formation.

Just as the ghost cloud was less than half a zhang away from the demon-subduing formation, a furious roar suddenly pierced through the black cloud, causing it to stop moving in mid-air and tremble violently.

"Um?"

Qian Yu was clearly taken aback when he saw this, but before he could understand what was happening, a deafening roar came from the ghost cloud. Then, the cloud burst open in a burst of expansion and contraction, shooting out thousands of feet of black light that was dazzling and blinding.

Du Fan and the other two almost instinctively closed their eyes and shot backward. When they opened their eyes again and looked at Gui Yun, their expressions changed drastically, and they gasped.

In mid-air, the demonic rabbit, which was originally half a foot in size, had now grown to be over ten feet in size.

The beast now has blood-red eyes that flash with a cold light, and all the black fur on its body stands up like sharp arrows, making people feel cold at first glance.
