This adventure was truly thrilling, but Ming Qi and his companions had largely remained spectators throughout. The numerous monk mercenaries were so busy dealing with whatever was happening that they had no time to bother paying attention to the group impersonating the Fox Tribe. Consequently, virtually no one noticed Ming Qi and his companions.
Ming Qi naturally welcomed this situation. While he was deeply interested in the treasures of Mount Osho, he was ultimately only trying his luck. As for this murky water, he was reluctant to plunge headfirst into it. If he encountered an unforeseen crisis, he would immediately flee. With the Supreme Diagram's divine space, while he couldn't directly break through the Magic Forest's restrictions and escape by soaring into the air, he could at least return in the same direction and eventually exit the Magic Forest without being hindered by the Origin Formation or the ghostly and mutant creatures within.
Bang Bang!
The Hell Hydra charged forward with unbridled force. Moments later, Ming Qi saw several figures sent flying by the massive Hydra.
"Damn it!"
Among those sent flying, Chi Hongyi cursed furiously. Though severely struck by the Hell Hydra, he hadn't sustained fatal damage and remained capable of fighting.
From a distance, Chi Hongyi could be seen spinning mid-air before landing on the ground in a fleeting moment, charging forward again.
The Red Cauldron Divine Art that Chi Hongyi practiced was a physical cultivation technique. His body had become as strong as steel, and ordinary forces could do no harm to his flesh.
However, the other person, Long Zhe, who had been knocked flying, was in a much worse situation. Although he was proficient in Western Immortal Swordsmanship, his physical cultivation was far inferior to Chi Hongyi's. The impact of one of the Hell Hydra's heads sent a surge of energy and blood through his body. While his strength hadn't yet reached the Martial King realm, it wasn't far behind. This gave an idea of the Hell Hydra's formidable power.
However, the impact only caused Long Zhe a slight shock, which didn't affect his combat effectiveness. Surrounded by flying swords, his body was seen swiftly floating through the air, muttering something, and his magical longsword suddenly erupted with a fiery, dazzling sword light.
Then, Long Zhe's entire person was seen undergoing a dramatic transformation. The aura around him rapidly expanded, and rays of sword light formed into strange curves, rapidly converging into a humanoid phantom.
"This fellow, finally willing to unleash his ultimate skills."
Seeing this, Su Yuan, who was more familiar with Western Immortal Swordsmanship, immediately recognized Long Zhe's style.
"Is it some powerful magical power?"
It seemed Long Zhe was still holding back.
"Yes, the White Cloud Sword Sect's unique skill, Sky-Flying Fairy."
As he spoke, the phantom formed by Long Zhe's vast sword energy didn't directly attack the frenzied Hell Hydra. Instead, it swiftly soared into the air like a flame, suddenly soaring into the distant sky.
"Victory or defeat depends on this single blow!"
Watching Long Zhe unleash his ultimate magical power, Yu Quanzhen, standing nearby, immediately understood that only a combined all-out attack could inflict severe damage on the Hell Hydra. Otherwise, the monster would be virtually undefeated.
Yu Quanzhen was fully aware of the situation, so without further ado, he unleashed his most powerful magical power.
The cultivators present were all masters, and naturally understood Yu Quanzhen's intentions. Without holding back, they all deployed their most powerful strategies. As long as the Hell Hydra was defeated, they would essentially have escaped the Magic Forest.
Yu Quanzhen raised his hand, and the space behind him suddenly shifted. Countless dazzling stars suddenly appeared in the previously empty space. Even more bizarre, these stars each shone with a different light, some fire, some water, some light, some dark. They seemed to condense the power of various natural elements, vast and profound, beyond imagination.
"To be able to fuse so many elements together is truly remarkable!"
Seeing Yu Quanzhen's actions, Ming Qi was also deeply shocked. As expected of a Martial King-level powerhouse, his single attack instantly overwhelmed the other Xiantian cultivators.
Chi Hongyi's attack remained simple and direct. A dazzling red light emanated from his body, and a large red cauldron appeared around him. The cauldron then transformed, completely transforming into a suit of armor that fully armored Chi Hongyi. With full concentration, Chi Hongyi charged towards the Hell Hydra.
Compared to their tactics, others, such as Madam Rose and the leader of the Biyou Sect, Chu Huaiyuan, and other masters from various factions, also rushed forward. For a moment, the entire Demonic Corridor was ablaze with light, an indescribable splendor.
The Hell Hydra in front seemed to sense a great threat. Its nine heads danced wildly, its dark fangs brimming with venom flashing with sharpness, and its eyes began to rapidly glow red.
Powerful demonic beasts seemed to possess no natural sense of fear. Seeing so many enemies attacking, the Hell Hydra, though sensing danger, showed no sign of retreat. Its massive body flared with scales, and in a moment, countless razor-sharp spikes over a meter long emerged, resembling swords.
"Looks like a head-on fight."
Ming Qi, standing nearby, could see the situation clearly. The Hell Hydra possessed considerable intelligence and could discern that the enemy before it was gathering a powerful attack.
"Everyone, head inside the Divine Map Space for now. Di Kui will stay and help."
The most powerful attack from both sides was clearly a prime opportunity, and Ming Qi naturally wouldn't miss it. If he could devour the Hell Hydra, Ming Qi was confident his own strength would instantly soar.
Since his side was also slightly stronger than Di Kui's demon fox, to be on the safe side, Ming Qi immediately opened the Divine Map Space and had the others enter first, to avoid being caught in any unforeseen crisis.
"Then be careful."
The others knew their current strength wouldn't be enough to make a move, so they followed Ming Qi's instructions and entered the Divine Map Space, monitoring the situation outside.
"Demon, prepare to die!"
Within a few words, the situation on the field had changed dramatically. High in the sky, Long Zhe roared, pointing his sword at the roaring Hell Hydra. A flash of starlight appeared in the sky, and then a massive shadow burst forth. By this time, the phantom formed by Long Zhe's sword energy had grown immense, nearly a hundred meters tall. In its hand, it clutched a massive sword, thrusting forward, it thrust directly at the Hell Hydra.
Yu Quanzhen remained motionless, his face sullen as water. His hands danced and formed seals. The vast constellation of stars that had previously condensed behind him suddenly began to move. Countless brilliant stars pierced through space, condensing into a torrent that attacked almost simultaneously with Long Zhe.
At this moment, a variety of powerful attacking abilities were hurled recklessly at the Hell Hydra. Vast swathes of energy light instantly filled the vast corridor of demonic movement.
The Hell Hydra's nine heads continuously howled. After sprouting spikes, its body suddenly curled up, and like a rolling ball, it rushed towards the crowd of cultivators.
"Here they come!"
Seeing the two sides finally about to collide, Ming Qi quietly soared into the air and, along with the Di Kui Demon Fox, blended into the crowd of cultivators, approaching.
Ming Qi knew this was a one-time opportunity; if lost, it would be gone forever. Therefore, he had to seize it and absolutely could not afford to fail.
In just a few breaths, the entire Demonic Corridor erupted in an earth-shaking roar.
The extreme shock caused the entire space to shake.
The Hell Hydra, like a falling rock from a mountain, surged forward, bearing the immense force of the attack. Several cultivators were pierced or sent flying.
The red-robed cultivator, charging at the forefront, was naturally unable to dodge and was sent flying by the Hell Hydra. He spat out a stream of blood, clearly having sustained significant damage.
Then Ming Qi watched as the figures of the cultivators flew and landed in the air, their cries of surprise and pain mingling in an unspeakable chaos.
Yu Quanzhen's expression grew solemn, and he quickly retreated while emitting a burst of starlight.
Although this attack inflicted heavy damage on the Hell Hydra, their side also suffered heavy losses. Many cultivators were crushed to death, leaving them no chance to escape. Even the Red-robed cultivator was nearly unable to rise.
However, despite this, Yu Quanzhen had underestimated the Hell Hydra's power. Just when he thought it had reached its end, the previously tumbling Hell Hydra, now in a spherical shape, suddenly shuddered, sending the spikes emanating from its body flying!
Swish, swish, swish!
Instantly, countless sword-like spikes flew out, unleashing a new wave of devastating attacks on the cultivators who had previously escaped.
Puff!
Yu Quanzhen gazed at the incoming spikes and, with a startling swift movement, condensed his Martial King True Essence and unexpectedly caught them.
"Hmm?"
Having grasped the spikes, Yu Quanzhen's expression suddenly changed, and his right hand quickly loosened its grip.
It's actually poisonous!
In just a moment, a dark gray hue appeared on Yu Quanzhen's right hand.
Without time to think, he quickly mobilized his True Qi to suppress the venom and retreated.
The Hell Hydra, having unleashed its spikes, seemed truly at the end of its strength. Not a single part of its body remained intact. Pitch-black demonic blood gushed from its body like a fountain, leaving a clear trail across the Demonic Corridor.
"This is the moment!"
Ming Qi knew his opportunity had arrived. Yu Quanzhen's side would soon run out of options for a full-scale attack. Although the Hell Hydra's immortal body was constantly functioning, it would take time to recover.
Whoosh!
Ming Qi suddenly broke free from the crowd. Power surged through him, and like a stream of light, he rushed towards the Hell Hydra on the Demonic Corridor. Simultaneously, the Di Kui Demon Fox flew out in pursuit.
"Who are these two?"
The remaining cultivators cried out in surprise, all eyes fixed on Ming Qi and the Di Kui demon fox.
