Chapter 703: Chapter 676: Real Combat Training
 

In the Holy City of the Purple Flame Snake Clan, Sky Flame Demon Venerable was inspecting his territory.

Looking at the Holy City he had built with his own hands, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

His massive snake body leapt up and flew directly into the cloud layer, wanting to observe his Holy City in a different way.

“We must follow closely the Purple Jade Demon Emperor’s footsteps, without him, our Purple Flame Snake Clan wouldn’t be where it is today.”

6000 years ago, their Purple Flame Snake Clan was just an obscure little clan. There was not even an Invincible Demon Venerable within the clan, and they were squeezed out by other major snake clans, calling them an anomaly.

At that time, he was just a little Foundation Establishment Stage snake demon, not even fully possessing spiritual intelligence.

One day, while going out to hunt, he accidentally broke into the Cultivation Place of the Purple Jade Jiaolong.

At that time, the Purple Jade Jiaolong had just entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

For some unknown reason, when the little Foundation Establishment snake saw the Purple Jade Jiaolong, it was as if he had encountered his own faith.

He became the follower of the then Nascent Soul Stage Purple Jade Jiaolong.

With the disappearance of a Foundation Establishment Stage little snake from the Purple Flame Snake Clan, the not-yet-risen Purple Jade Jiaolong gained a follower.

He followed the Purple Jade Flood Dragon for thousands of years. The original errand-running follower had turned into an invincible Demon Venerable, becoming the left and right arm of the Purple Jade Jiaolong, and the savior of the Purple Flame Snake Clan.

The more Sky Flame Demon Venerable looked at the newly built Holy City, the more satisfied he became.

“After His Majesty the Demon Emperor officially becomes the Demon Emperor, I will build a Traveling Palace for him here.” Sky Flame Demon Venerable was daydreaming about it.

Suddenly, the entire sky darkened, and the newly established Holy City’s area was instantly shrouded in darkness.

The originally planning-for-a-better-future Sky Flame Demon Venerable’s eyes turned sharp as he looked up at the sky.

“Who is it! Disturbing my mood!”

Only to see Hidden Spirit Island, like sesame covering a pancake, directly covering the beautiful Holy City in the eyes of Sky Flame Demon Venerable.

“Disturb your grandma’s leg!”

A roar of anger resounded in the sky, and a Sword Formation Puppet appeared in the sky with an expression of picking a fight.

With the emergence of the nine Immortal Swords and a thousand Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords, a giant whale was formed in the air, swallowing down at the Sky Flame Demon Venerable.

At this time, countless Escaping Lights flew out from the Hidden Spirit Island in the sky!

Like a meteor shower in the already darkened Holy City.

“Quick, quick, quick! This is the first action, we must act according to the plan, do not linger, do not be greedy!”

“Each level should target the Purple Flame Snake Clan of their respective level. If you can’t beat them, form a three-three Battle Formation. If you still can’t beat them, remember to run quickly and leave the problem to the other senior brothers who can solve it.”

This time, almost all the disciples of Hidden Spirit Island participated in the battle.

“Brothers, our target is the outer city, we must kill these little snake demons without leaving a single one.”

In the outer city’s sky, a hundred thousand meteor-like lights streaked by, forming a circle, covering the entire Holy City’s periphery.

As for the inner city, naturally, the first and second generation disciples would handle it.

With the Giant Hammer in hand, Xiong Li led the charge in the front row, his expression extremely excited.

“Do not try to fight against the Demon Venerable Level strong ones, there will be sect seniors and puppets to deal with them.”

“You can freely move around, as long as you don’t go to the outer city and fight over food with junior fellow apprentices.”

Xiong Li finished speaking, and like a ten-thousand-ton meteor, he crashed into a palace in the Holy City, instantly causing dozens of buildings within a radius of several miles to collapse with a loud sound.

A hundred-feet-tall Five-element Gold Body Dharma Image appeared in the ruins’ center, bursting an aggressive aura.

As soon as Xiong Li appeared, he attracted the attacks of the already prepared Purple Flame Snake Clan.

“Good timing!” Xiong Li excitedly said, and raised his hammer to strike towards his surroundings.

After that, the first and second-generation disciples arrived one after another. For a time, sword formations, sword lights, Five Elements Divine Techniques, and various kinds of attack pagodas appeared.

All sorts of attacks made the Purple Flame Snake Clan suffer a lifetime of pain.

At this moment, the sword array puppets in the sky were leisurely watching the sphere that had been transformed from the giant sword array whale into the sealing sword array.

“You still have half an hour. If more than 70% of the Demon Clan in the Holy City hasn’t been killed, you’ll all be penalized with points deductions,” Xu Fan said while controlling the puppets and issuing orders.

Fierce White on Xu Fan’s shoulder was also infected by his momentum, sticking his little head out from the jade-white turtle shell, revealing a fierce expression.

“Yes, Great Master!”

Xu Fan in the Holy City above heard the echoes from countless disciples.

Xu Gang beside Xu Fan was looking for a chance to join the fight, but Xu Fan stopped him in time.

“Don’t bother competing with those youngsters. If you go up, the Demon Clan below the Mahayana stage won’t even be enough for you alone to kill,” Xu Fan said, stroking Fierce White on his palm, which didn’t affect his control over the puppets at all.

“Yes, Master,” Xu Gang said, feeling a bit pity.

“You were born to deal with big scenes. A Holy City of this scale doesn’t require your involvement,” Xu Fan explained.

The Purple Flame Snake Clan had risen not for too long, and there were only two Demon Venerables in addition to one Invincible Demon Venerable in the clan.

Both of them were already slain by the Mahayana puppets.

At this moment, three Mahayana puppets holding immortal tools rushed into the sealing sword array.

“It seems that we should take our Sect Disciples for more actual combat training. Although they look quite slick in battle, like seasoned fighters, actual combat experience still requires real fights,” Xu Fan said, watching the performance of the disciples below.

Just when he was talking, two sword arrays suddenly merged into one in the Holy City, forming a thousand-foot-long giant sword horizontally in the air, followed by an erupting supreme sword intent.

Xu Fan and Wang Xiangchi looked at each other after witnessing this scene.

“Sword arrays merging. It looks like they’ve been practicing a lot in the sect,” Xu Fan said, nodding with satisfaction.

He was pleased with all the disciples’ performances in the battle.

However, the teamwork performance and tacit understanding between the disciples had not yet reached Xu Fan’s expectations.

“Pu Tao, how much more time is left?” Xu Fan asked.

“Master, half a moment left.”

Xu Fan glanced at the sword array that formed the seal and pressed down with his hand.

The Sky Flame Demon Venerable in the sword array immediately let out an agonizing scream.

“Not bad, you’d better cherish your last half a moment in your life,” Xu Fan said.

“Half a moment left, senior and junior fellow apprentices, let’s keep it up! We must complete the task given by the Great Master.”

Li Leihu, with his giant blade, slaughtered like a butcher. Blood and flesh flew everywhere he went.

Lin Mowan frowned as she watched Li Leihu, occasionally using the Purification Technique to remove the bloodstains on Li Leihu’s body.

“Flower Sea Poet~” Lin Mowan’s hands performed hand gestures, turning the area in front of her into a sea of flowers.

Those Snake Clan members who fell into the sea of flowers were all parasitized by flower seeds, eventually drained of nutrients, and transformed into demon flowers, assisting Li Leihu in clearing the surrounding Demon Clan.

At this moment, a mushroom cloud rose from the central position of the Holy City, directly sweeping a third of the inner city.

In the sky, there were six first-generation disciples who primarily cultivated the Five Elements Way.

They joined forces to perform the East Wind Fifteen Divine Technique to end the battle quickly.

“We didn’t dare to exert our full power, or we might steal all your tasks.”

“How about that? Do you need help?”

The disciples of the Five Elements Way Sect laughed and asked the disciples of the Sword Dao Sect in another area of the inner city.
