Chapter 367 Crisis Resolved
"clang!"
The longsword struck the Crimson-Eyed Demon King's arm, sparking countless bursts of fire!
This sword, being a top-grade magic weapon for Golden Core cultivators, was infused with Zhang Lingyu's full magical power. Although it failed to sever the arm in one strike, it was enough to tear the skin and flesh apart.
However, being the master wasn't having an easy time either. The violent recoil forced him to take several steps back, and the tingling pain from his tiger's mouth almost caused the longsword to fall off.
"Such a tough exterior!"
Zhang Lingyu broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to endure the pain and strike a second time, but the demon king in front of him had already regained consciousness.
With the Crimson-Eyed Demon King's soul intact, he could have been controlled by the Blood Soul-Seizing Bell for a few more breaths, but a sharp pain deep in his mind forcibly pulled him back to reality...
The moment I woke up, the excruciating pain surged towards me like a tidal wave.
It lowered its head and discovered a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on its right arm, running all the way down to its lower abdomen, which was the source of the pain.
As a demon king, its powerful regenerative ability causes its body to continuously grow new flesh to heal its wounds. However, as soon as the flesh grows, it is pulverized by the residual sword energy in the wounds and continues to ravage its body.
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King had no time to heal his wounds. Seeing that the second sword light was about to hit him, he didn't even have time to force out his sword energy, so he hurriedly retreated to dodge.
Fortunately, Zhang Lingyu was not in good condition due to the recoil from the previous impact, and his movements were a full half beat slower, which allowed the Crimson-Eyed Demon King to easily dodge.
Having narrowly escaped death, it looked at the man in blue robes holding a sword in front of it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now I finally understand why that stupid tiger was so quickly outmaneuvered.
"What a powerful sword! Luckily, I'm tough as nails!"
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King possesses a unique bloodline. In addition to being born with the ability to control fire, its physical strength is also top-notch. Although it cannot be compared with demon kings like the Black Tortoise Demon King, who are born with abnormal defense, it is no less than the Blood Fiend Demon Emperor when he was still a demon king.
"What's the point of fighting like this?!"
"Let's go!"
There was no other reason than that it was genuinely afraid.
Even though the sword energy within its body was gradually forced out under the pressure of demonic power, and its flesh and blood were slowly growing, this could not change the fact that it had been severely injured by a single sword strike.
Don't be fooled by Zhang Lingyu's current less-than-ideal condition; at most, his magical power is somewhat unstable. If he were to be controlled by that strange bell for a few more seconds and then struck by a sword, even with his thick skin and flesh, he would be in danger of dying.
Even if it can't use a second sword, the opponent must have other magic weapons or talismans that are enough to take its life.
After a moment's hesitation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the demon king transformed into a streak of crimson light and fled into the distance without looking back...
Zhang Lingyu did not give chase. Their goal was to relieve the siege. After days of travel and two major battles, it was not impossible to kill the Crimson-Eyed Demon King, but it would come at a price.
Although one can use the talismans given by True Lord Yunhe, they can only be used when one's life is in danger. Revealing them too early will easily attract attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
First, he stuffed in a few pills to restore his mana, then turned to look at the two demon kings who were fighting against the Tang family's Golden Core cultivator.
At this moment, the two demon kings were still immersed in their anger at the Crimson-Eyed Demon King for abandoning them and running away on his own.
With such a favorable situation, I could have immediately killed the Golden Core cultivator in front of me and gone to provide support. You, a demon king whose physical strength is higher than ours, just ran away because you suffered a non-fatal sword wound.
The White Prison Demon King was furious, as he was the leader of the demon race's attack on Fire Locust Mountain.
Its subordinates left without even informing it. Where is its authority? If word gets out, who will respect it?
"Akame, get back here right now!"
The demon king roared at the crimson light that was almost invisible on the horizon. The latter paused for a moment, then accelerated its escape.
"Red Eyes, I will definitely report your crime of desertion before Lord Golden Armor!"
The White Prison Demon King was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. His massive wolf head snapped around, his eerie eyes fixed on the blue-robed man charging towards him, and he said in a deep voice:
"Shuangyou, you hold off this guy surnamed Tang, I'm going to deal with this brat!"
"Let's see just how strong he is, he can actually overpower Tiger Cloud and Red Eyes!"
This demon king was extremely fast and incredibly strong. Before its demonic body even reached her, the gale-force winds from its wolf claws made Zhang Lingyu's cheeks sting.
If one were to be struck, even with the Spirit Puppet Transformation Box to absorb most of the impact, damage to the internal organs would be inevitable.
So he decisively gave up on a head-on confrontation, used the Shadow Chasing Shuttle under his feet to dodge the fatal blow, and casually flicked back a few sword energies.
It's impossible to lure him away now. Once he escapes, the White Prison Demon King will immediately abandon him and continue to besiege the Tang family's Golden Core cultivator.
The only option now is to keep entangled in the situation and wait for the changes to occur.
"It should be soon..."
Zhang Lingyu glanced in Ye Xunwei's direction and realized that the opponent's battle was also nearing its end.
Ye Xunwei is no ordinary Golden Core cultivator; he is the personal disciple of Chi Li Zhenren, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator from Chi Yang Prefecture. Although he has only recently advanced to the Golden Core stage like Ye Xunwei, he is full of treasures.
If he didn't have powerful methods to rely on, True Lord Bai Yan wouldn't have sent him to support Fire Locust Mountain.
Sure enough, after nearly a quarter of an hour, the Blood Flame Sect woman, who was already at a disadvantage, was completely suppressed by Ye Xunwei. Not only was her hair disheveled, but her fair arms were also charred black from the flames.
Despite being only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, the flames generated by the Blazing Sun Palace technique carry the flavor of supreme yang fire, making them, like thunder, the most effective counter to demonic arts.
The woman's loss was not unjust.
Seeing that he was in imminent danger of death after a few more rounds, he had no choice but to ask Master Yin Fu for help: "Senior brother, please help me quickly!"
"Junior Sister!"
Seeing his old flame seriously injured and on the verge of death, Yin Fu Shangren was anxious and heartbroken. He poured all his magic power into Yin Fu Blade in an attempt to go to his rescue. But how could Shuo Yue Zhenren let go of this good opportunity?
This old man isn't good at fighting, but he's good at getting entangled with people; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep this person from moving an inch.
The flood of spiritual water completely overwhelmed Yin Fu Shangren's techniques. Ye Xunwei seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the woman's momentary lapse in concentration, sent a small golden blade flying from his sleeve.
The blade was extremely fast; before the woman could react, it had already circled her neck.
A fine head was thus severed!
The headless body swayed precariously, and a golden core burst forth from its belly. It intended to escape into Yin Fu Shangren's sleeve, but was instead caught in the hand of Ye Xunwei who had arrived at the scene.
With a sudden clench of his five fingers, a mournful and chilling roar emanated from within his golden core before returning to stillness.
"Junior Sister!!!"
Yin Fu Shangren's eyes were bloodshot, and his burly body suddenly shrank, but his aura continued to rise, clearly indicating that he had used some kind of secret technique.
To put it bluntly, he has now reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm!
Master Shuoyue was thrown away by the sudden turn of events. Without his obstruction, Master Yinfu was able to successfully collect his junior sister's head and remains.
Unfortunately, both the golden core and the storage bag ended up in Ye Xunwei's hands.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you!"
Yin Fu Shangren instantly locked onto Ye Xunwei, his Yin Fu Blade poised to strike, but Ye Xunwei simply took out a golden talisman, and Yin Fu Shangren immediately stopped in his tracks.
There was no other reason than that he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Once this talisman was cast, none of his methods would be effective, and his demise was inevitable.
"It must be a sixth-tier talisman!"
Yin Fu Shangren cursed inwardly, but in a split second, driven by the instinct for survival, he made a choice.
escape!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
As the other party vanished in a cloud of blood mist, Ye Xunwei did not stop him. He simply watched him leave quietly, listening to the final harsh words he uttered.
"Boy, don't let me catch you again, or I'll skin you alive, tear you apart, and eat your flesh!"
