Welcome to Ability Store-Chapter 121 - 120: Methods of Victory

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded!

They had never seen such a terrifying sight, each one standing there in shock.

The only one unaffected was Chen Xuan, who summoned the Thousand Thoughts Sword almost simultaneously, thrusting it straight at Zhang Zhi!

With the inner vision from the Heart Method, the man’s energy had completely split into three parts, resembling a series of golden starlight.

Moreover, the Qi Sword, which could easily cut through a human body, surprisingly failed to pierce him completely and instead hit him like a blunt object, sending him flying.

There was no mistake... thought Chen Xuan. This twisted body, with its multiple arms and legs, was just like the monsters found in the world corroded by Black Magic discovered by Gildre, where flesh fused together!

"You all must die here! Become sacrifices to the Faithless Lord!" Zhang Zhi was no longer in human form, and the voice came not from his hanging head but from a new body emerging from his back—it didn’t even have a head or eyes, just a large mouth full of sharp teeth opening at the chest.

It’s a pity that this was not the first time Chen Xuan had faced such a monster.

The deformed beast guarding the altar and bookshelves last time was much stronger than this one. Structurally, they belonged to Demon Fiends, and spells aimed at them and disrupting Spiritual Qi were highly effective.

However, as Chen Xuan was about to replicate the shell-detonating thunderbolt, he suddenly froze.

He realized he hadn’t brought the Celestial Thunder Order!

Apart from the usual Lotus Cloud Sect spells, the remaining item he had in that section was the Law Decree True Words!

Damn it.

Chen Xuan took out a scanner and glanced at it. As expected, they were too far from the manor, and there was no signal. The only ability he could activate now was to teleport himself back to the shop.

Leaving was simple; he could also take Marina, who was a guest, but what about the others?

The Historian Hongli and the other Immortal Alliance officials were ordinary people. The only one who could fight was the Celestial Pride Disciple Mo Shuyun, and voice spells had limited effect against enemies with a robust body, while Demon Fiends moved incredibly fast. He was unlikely to win against this fiend.

If he left, everyone here would die!

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Fiend had already pulled out the Qi Sword and tossed it aside, jumping onto the wall and clawing towards them like an animal. At this moment, Zhang Zhi was more like a mount, with the headless body on his back being the true entity.

In the Historian’s eyes, the monster wasn’t climbing the wall; it was flying along it! In less than the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhi had rushed from the blown-open gate to right above Chen Xuan!

"Sect Leader Chen, watch out!" He wanted to shout a warning but found his throat too tight from tension to utter a single word.

Chen Xuan saw it all.

With the upgraded Divine Eye Technique, not only could he maintain a longer bullet time, but his body’s response to slow motion also became more natural.

Relying solely on the Thousand Thoughts Sword was insufficient to break the enemy’s defense, so he had to think of another way. But now, more importantly, he had to ensure survival, not just for himself but also for his teammates.

In the enemy’s slow-motion dive, Chen Xuan’s fingers subtly moved, summoning three more Qi Swords. One shot sideways like a nail, pinning the monster to the wall, while the other two swept towards Marina and Mo Shuyun’s waists—these were bladeless swords, providing pushing force without cutting the two apart.

As for himself, he rolled directly to the right.

The next second, the Demon Fiend crashed into the ground with a booming sound, stirring up dust and leaving a crack in the wall.

However, it had been stopped by the horizontally stabbing sword, sliding against the wall, greatly slowing its speed, allowing the three under threat to either roll away actively or passively, evading its powerful dive.

"Don’t just stand there!" Chen Xuan warned, "Those who can’t fight, run out first!"

The reminder prompted Hongli and the others; staying would only add to the casualties, so they quickly tugged each other and fled outside.

Realizing the Qi Sword had saved him, Mo Shuyun’s face turned a little red. He sprang up and gave Marina a pull. "This bastard is too quick! I won’t fall for it next time!"

"Sorry... I got stunned for a moment," Marina said awkwardly. "Don’t worry about me."

She then took out an Invisibility Talisman to hide herself, "I’ll support you from the shadows."

"It’s not Zhang Zhi anymore but a Demon Fiend," Chen Xuan kept a distance from the two, forming a triangular formation. "Ordinary attack spells or swords are ineffective on it. Don’t be fooled by its Cultivator body, as its skin is actually tougher than armor!"

"Sect Leader Chen, please cover your ears; let me try!" Seeing the monster rise again, Mo Shuyun threw away the broken fan and took a deep breath.

"Roar————!"

The sound wave instantly swept across the entire hall.

The powerful sonic boom made the bronze candlesticks tremble, and the dust on the ground was all swept up.

Chen Xuan only felt his feet tingling... didn’t this kid know that sound could travel through solids? Using this move in such a small space, and even intentionally turning his back to himself, wouldn’t stop the echo from reverberating! Fortunately, he had the Celestial Mist Skill to disperse his energy around his body for protection.

In fact, even Mo Shuyun suffered from his own technique, staggering and vomiting a mouthful of blood.

The Demon Fiend also let out a painful roar, retreating two steps. The "mount" Zhang Zhi covered his bleeding ears tightly, angrily shouting, "I will kill you all, cut open your bellies, and use your intestines as offerings!"

It then charged at Mo Shuyun again, ignoring Chen Xuan behind.

The attack wasn’t lethal, but it sure did a good job of drawing aggro.

But Mo Shuyun, who got hurt himself, still needed assistance.

Suddenly, a fireball exploded in front of the Demon Fiend, forcibly stopping its advance. The scorching heat wave roasted everyone present, making Chen Xuan question if he was fighting several enemies.

And the only thing the fire ignited was Zhang Zhi’s clothes. Even as it burned, the monster’s reaction was undiminished; it turned and lunged, grabbing the invisible witch, opening its mouth to bite!

Then, three Flying Swords stabbed towards the Demon Fiend’s big mouth and arm, freeing Marina from captivity.

Clearly, invisibility was useless against this creature!

But upon seeing the mouth blocked by the Thousand Thoughts Sword, Chen Xuan suddenly had a countermeasure in mind.

"Mo Shuyun, shout at the monster with that voice that normal people can’t hear, as forcefully as you can!"

"But... that attack only injures, not kills..." the Celestial Pride Disciple doubted.

"That’s because it’s not low enough. When it gets low enough, you’ll see the monster’s organs trembling with it, and that’s when it becomes lethal!"

Mo Shuyun was surprised, "Have you seen this spell used elsewhere?"

"No, but just do as I say!" Chen Xuan replied while engaging with the enemy.

He hesitated, murmuring after a moment, "Alright... but how am I supposed to see its organs?"

"By going inside to look, of course!" Chen Xuan, after bashing the monster away with a sword again, rushed over to Mo Shuyun, grabbed him by the back of his clothes, and directly lifted him.

"Eh, whoa?" Mo Shuyun was dumbfounded.

The Demon Fiend got up once more, charging at them without hesitation.

Chen Xuan threw the Celestial Pride Disciple straight towards the enemy, activating the Divine Eye Technique at once—

In the air, Mo Shuyun panicked, unable to change direction with his hands and feet lifted. Naturally, the Demon Fiend wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, immediately opening its massive maw.

Just as Mo Shuyun was about to fly into the monster’s mouth, three Qi Swords stabbed in, pinning its bloodthirsty maw wide open!

Thus, he flew straight into the monster’s gaping mouth!

Beyond that mouth wasn’t a tongue and throat, but a tangle of blood vessels, organs, and intestines.

So...this is how I see it...

The only thought left in Mo Shuyun’s mind was: It stinks!

He instinctively unleashed the strongest low-pitched growl he could! The intense low-frequency waves caused all the flesh and organs in front of him to tremble violently, then burst, spraying foul-smelling liquids and blood, filling the Demon Fiend’s entire body cavity!
