Chapter 2176: Holy Martial Meridians, Thunderstorm Roar

As Sikong Jing spoke, Changqing Venerable immediately took action. She swiftly moved to the position described in the Black Jade Paper, where the Array Eye was located.

Qu Hanming hesitated slightly and didn’t act immediately. Instead, he quietly asked, "Young Master Sikong, if it’s just me and Changqing as the Array Eyes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to kill the Thunderstorm Roar Beast."

At this moment, Qu Hanming deeply felt the terrifying pressure of the Holy Martial Demon Beast.

He believed that if the Absolute Night Frost Array couldn’t kill the Thunderstorm Roar Beast, then it was meaningless and could easily backfire on them.

If they couldn’t kill their opponent, the opponent might easily kill them.

Thus, Qu Hanming wanted to remind Sikong Jing to consider other strategies.

In response, Sikong Jing smiled calmly and said, "Who said I want to kill the Thunderstorm Roar Beast? I mentioned it as my target, but I know I can’t kill it right now. All I want is its power."

Qu Hanming was dumbfounded and couldn’t understand. What did this mean?

Sikong Jing naturally wouldn’t explain too much...

"Just rest assured. After I achieve my goal, I’ll find a way for you to safely leave. No one will discover you, and no one will be able to kill you."

At this point, Sikong Jing whispered urgently, "Alright, quickly get to your Array Eye position!"

The Thunderstorm Roar Beast was already approaching, and there was no time to delay explanations.

Qu Hanming, hearing this, dared not ask further and could only do as Sikong Jing said. He flashed to his designated Array Eye position as the Thunderstorm Roar Beast crashed in fiercely.

It seemed as if it would obliterate Sikong Jing’s Absolute Night Frost Array in an instant.

Outside, in the eyes of those either besieging or spectating...

It was clear that the Thunderstorm Roar Beast came with terrifying might, crashing into the Forest Hunting Ground amidst thunder and lightning, leaving in its wake the ice sword and ice shield of the Frost Sword Demon reduced to icy fragments.

Its terrifying might caused fear and trepidation.

A strong cultivator commented softly, "The Frost Sword Demon won’t escape this disaster."

Another strong cultivator nodded, adding, "What a pity, I won’t be the one to take him down. However, it may not be that simple. The Frost Sword Demon shouldn’t have been unaware of the Thunderstorm Roar Beast’s appearance."

"Maybe there’s an exciting show ahead; let’s be prepared to seize the opportunity."

Another strong cultivator coldly spoke, ready to charge into the Forest Hunting Ground at any moment.

As all the strong cultivators harbored different thoughts, Wunian Shaqing coldly commanded, "Thunderstorm Roar Beast, you may kill the Frost Sword Demon, but Changqing must not die as per Lord Pei’s orders."

She must not let the Thunderstorm Roar Beast eliminate Changqing Venerable, as she still needed to curry favor with her using the Undying Divine Medicine.

However, the Thunderstorm Roar Beast ignored her and continued its violent assault, invoking thunder and lightning.

As a demon beast, it wouldn’t waste words—its sole purpose was to eliminate intruders or enemies.

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from within the Forest Hunting Ground...

"Thunderstorm Roar Beast, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Activate the Array Eye, Domineering Frost Ice Eternal Shadow."

As Sikong Jing spoke, both Qu Hanming and Changqing Venerable simultaneously stimulated their True Qi, swiftly channeling it into the whole Absolute Night Frost Array. Then, Sikong Jing gathered power into his hand...

And what gathered wasn’t just the power of the two Emperor Realm Array Eyes but also the demon beasts from the forest.

In an instant, the Absolute Night Frost Array, which seemed about to shatter in the eyes of the onlookers, was reignited. Massive ice swords formed rapidly and enveloped the Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

Just like earlier when Shaqing was trapped, all the ice swords quickly formed a Turtle Shell Cage.

The difference being, this cage was far stronger and larger than the one that trapped Shaqing.

In a flash, it trapped the brutish Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

For the onlookers outside, it was a shocking sight: the frightening wind and thunder around the Thunderstorm Roar Beast were smashed into pieces by the Turtle Shell Cage and transformed into scattered thunder shadows, trapping it in the forest sky.

This scene stunned the surrounding strong cultivators—how could the mighty Holy Martial Demon Beast be trapped?

"Don’t worry, the Thunderstorm Roar Beast will definitely break out immediately."

This sentence was spoken by one of Fenglei City’s Ten Generals of the Qianwang Holy Tower, who expressed utter confidence in the Nu Ming Beast.

Unfortunately, the next scene overturned his expectations. The Thunderstorm Roar Beast roared furiously within the Turtle Shell Cage, with countless lightning bolts crashing against it, yet it couldn’t break free!

Thunder pounded against the Turtle Shell Cage, causing continuous vibrations that shocked and terrified countless people.

The Frost Sword Demon’s formation was incredibly terrifying—how could such a small formation suppress someone at the Holy Martial Stage?

The Forest Hunting Ground appeared small in the eyes of the strong cultivators, and the formation was naturally small too.

At this moment, the figure of the Frost Sword Demon slowly emerged in the eyes of the onlookers.

It floated before the Thunderstorm Roar Beast’s Turtle Shell Cage.

At this time, Sikong Jing’s face remained shrouded in frosty mist, revealing no expression. He calmly said, "Thunderstorm Roar Beast, now I’ll see if I can cut you down..."

With those words, Sikong Jing thrust his sword forward.

His body instantly penetrated the Turtle Shell Cage, and then the light of the sword exploded within the cage, striking fiercely against the Thunderstorm Roar Beast, only to be easily neutralized by its wind and thunder.

Being trapped had already enraged the Thunderstorm Roar Beast, and now, upon seeing the main attack, it naturally became even angrier and said, "Are you scratching me?"

With that, the Thunderstorm Roar Beast attempted to attack Sikong Jing...

However, after one strike, Sikong Jing had left the Turtle Shell Cage and naturally wouldn’t allow the Thunderstorm Roar Beast to attack him; the terrifying thunder power remained within the cage, blocked by it.

Sikong Jing didn’t reply but raised his sword again and re-entered the cage.

He launched a second attack on the Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

This action prompted the Thunderstorm Roar Beast to grow increasingly angry and disdainful, saying, "I told you, you’re scratching me, die."

Repeating the same action, Sikong Jing entered the cage and struck, retreating swiftly to evade the Nu Ming Beast’s Holy Martial Attack. And what the Nu Ming Beast said was indeed true...

With Sikong Jing’s current attack power, it genuinely couldn’t harm the Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

But, as Sikong Jing had previously told Qu Hanming...

His aim wasn’t to slay the Thunderstorm Roar Beast but to acquire its power, specifically its Holy Martial Meridians, whether he acted today or a few days later. Sikong Jing’s goal wasn’t to kill the Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

He aimed to inscribe its Holy Martial Meridians.

Currently, Sikong Jing possessed three Holy Martial Meridians, with the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle fully comprehended, the Ice Eternal Mystic Turtle one step away yet still challenging, and the Nether Lotus Sea Snake being somewhat distant.

Thus, to advance rapidly or increase his combat power, Sikong Jing needed to inscribe and comprehend more Holy Martial Meridians.

Holy Martial Demon Beasts were rare and difficult to acquire, and the most accessible to him was undoubtedly the Thunderstorm Roar Beast.

Hence, Sikong Jing set his sights on it.
