Chapter 115 Roller Coaster
The moment the sword light was unleashed, the Hell Demon Dragon halted its escape, its body convulsing violently, trapped in the power of the rules that made it "impossible to evade."
Unable to dodge, it could only face it head-on. The two overseers in the distance, seeing this, immediately offered assistance, erecting two walls of wind between the sword light and the dragon.
The wind walls rose and shattered instantly.
A cross shield materialized, solidifying into a wall of protection, only to collapse with a thunderous crash.
The Hell Demon Dragon transformed into a golden lion, roaring as it constructed a golden barrier, but it disintegrated inch by inch upon contact with the sword energy.
Within the second the sword light was unleashed, the wind walls, cross shield, and golden barrier shattered almost simultaneously.
This strike condensed all of Fu Qingyang's sword energy and will, while also being empowered by the Swordsman's Cloak, gaining a 40% boost. A seemingly ordinary strike, in reality, was stacked with buffs.
Finally, illusory, light-white fish scales appeared on the surface of the golden lion. It had made the greatest effort in the limited time it had.
The sword light shattered the fish scales, grazed the golden lion's neck, and crashed roaring into the arena below.
Earth and stone exploded in all directions, the lion's head slowly slid off, and a grotesque canine head grew out of the writhing flesh at the neck's severed end. Its body also transformed into a lean, pitch-black demon dog.
The Purgatory Demon Dog was left with only a head.
Fu Qingyang's face was pale, revealing a sign of decline. The light in his eyes shifted from clear to murky, betraying the precursor to death from exhaustion.
Swordsmen killed with one step, one sword, in the most unadorned way. Despite his two seemingly ordinary strikes, the power to consecutively slay two Sovereigns of the same level was unimaginable.
Power and consumption were proportional. This was already his limit. If "skill approaching the Dao" could allow unlimited hacking and slashing, then all the Level 8 Sovereigns in the world would kneel down and beg, "Daddy, spare me!"
"President, counterattack!" the Purgatory Demon Dog roared, then quickly fled, creating distance from Fu Qingyang. Having been famous for many years, he felt fear for the first time from a newly advanced Sovereign.
This Fu Qingyang looked like he was running on fumes. Who knew if he would risk his life for one last burst, taking him back to The Way of the Extraordinary with him?
Among the Lawful professions in the Second District, Fire Masters were the most unyielding, followed by Swordsmen.
In the distance, Stephen Simpson's body rapidly changed. Mountain goat horns grew from his head, his legs turned into goat hooves, and the membrane wings on his back blazed with blue flames, exuding a strong scent of sulfur.
His muscles were clearly defined, and eerie demonic纹纹 sketched out his dark-red skin.
He had transformed into a demon with goat hooves, goat horns, and membrane wings—Kromie.
One of the Ten Sons of Gods, the demon Themis had transformed into before.
Kromie was the most balanced in combat among the Ten Sons of Gods, possessing a powerful physique, considerable combat power, and both petrification beams and poisonous smoke. He was also skilled in dark 変咒.
He was a powerful demon capable of both melee combat and spellcasting. Kromie's membrane wings flapped, and he soared into the sky, crashing towards Fu Qingyang in an eagle-like dive.
Less than ten meters from him, he suddenly opened his membrane wings, hovering in mid-air, and spat out eerie blue flames.
Fu Qingyang grabbed a rusty black iron shield and raised it towards the sky. The eerie blue flames slammed against the shield's surface, burning towards Fu Qingyang behind it. His flesh carbonized rapidly, revealing shoulder bones and skull.
In the arena, Zhang Yuanqing was about to switch the Golden Crow Seal's purification to scorching, releasing scorching rays towards the attacking Kromie demon, when the corner of his eye caught sight of three Chaotic Sovereigns, led by Cowboy Locke, staring intently at Fu Qingyang.
He could only suppress his anxious emotions and maintain purification.
At this moment, the Sovereigns on the battlefield were fighting their own battles, restraining each other.
Palace Master Zhisha, Zhang Yuanqing, and Catherine were locked in a standoff, the latter seeking an opportunity to seize the Golden Crow Seal, while the former had to protect her little lover.
Chris was entangled in a fierce battle with another "Giant Demon," being beaten back steadily, relying solely on a body of illusory fish scale armor for support.
Demon Eye was fighting two Wind Mages alone, suppressing both of them with his own strength.
Vinnie was also fighting two enemies at once, but barely. The Federal Investigator was even able to spare a hand to summon lightning to attack Demon Eye, easing the burden on the two Wind Mages.
Pansy Edison was engaged in close combat with Cowboy Locke. The Merchant profession's fighting skills were extremely strong, and they possessed life-saving abilities such as "Teleportation" and "Voidification." The two peak Sovereigns were evenly matched.
The other two Chaotic Sovereigns were in a state of "half-crippled cultivation." Not being peak Sovereigns, it was difficult for them to use strong control to影向the Lawful Sovereigns in a scene of pervasive purification.
As for the Sovereign of the Eternal Night profession, he lay nonchalantly in the distance, drifting in a state of half-sleep, half-awake.
This Sovereign's task was to seal off the space, preventing Pansy Edison from opening a teleportation channel. He would not participate in the battle because the sleeping domain did not distinguish between friend and foe.
If he were to participate, it was likely that both sides would be lying on the ground together.
Seeing that President's transformed Kromie demon suppressed Fu Qingyang, the Hell Demon Dragon immediately transformed into Scylla, about to shout to kill Fu Qingyang.
Demon Eye Heavenly King suddenly turned his head, and the bewitchment eye on his forehead shot out a scarlet-gold beam, hitting Scylla.
The demon, wearing a horn mask, tall and slender like a woman, screamed. The spiritual energy within her body went out of control, wings sprouted from her back, her legs turned into goat hooves, and her head became a lion's head.
Demon Eye Heavenly King's gaze shifted, looking towards the Kromie demon spitting out eerie blue flames.
Lieutenant Stephen's transformed Kromie demon shot out two pale beams from his eyes, colliding with the incoming scarlet-gold beam.
The scarlet-gold and pale beams collided and annihilated each other.
Demon Eye's rescue failed.
In the arena, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly took out the "Armor of Lightning" and "Bracers of Lightning," quickly completing the donning, then took out the Zijin Suit to wear. Then, he opened his palm and aimed it at the ground.
He was surrounded by arcs of lightning, like a ball of bright blue light. Then, the electric light around him surged towards his right arm, constantly compressing, constantly compressing...
His strange actions were first noticed by Catherine, but she did not understand Jumang's actions, only that he might have the next step in mind.
As the lightning spiritual energy compressed, his power broke through to the Sovereign Realm. The Sovereigns present sensed the abnormality on his side and cast their gazes over.
But it was too late!
As the lightning compressed to its limit, Zhang Yuanqing transformed into a brilliant starlight and disappeared. Immediately, a ray of starlight rose from beside the Hell Demon Dragon.
At this time, the Hell Demon Dragon was affected by the "Bewitchment Eye," its spiritual energy in turmoil, and multiple demonic bodies were protruding, gathered in one body, unable to use skills. Seeing the starlight rising beside him, he felt a chill in his heart. Unable to calm his spiritual energy, he quickly grabbed a fish fresh clothes and draped it over himself.
The next second, a bright blue beam of light, as thick as a water tank, shot out from Zhang Yuanqing's palm, swallowing the Hell Demon Dragon. The air was filled with "crackling" arcs of electricity.
In an instant, the electromagnetic cannon went out, and a charred, colossal body stood staggeringly, emitting scalding heat and a scorched smell.
"Ant...!" the Hell Demon Dragon roared weakly, "I will crush you!"
It spat out poisonous smoke and shot petrification beams from its eyes. These were the only two means of attack it currently had.
Its spiritual energy was still in a state of turmoil, and it had suffered a powerful blow from the electromagnetic cannon, making it extremely weak.
The Golden Crow Seal above Zhang Yuanqing's head continued to emit clear golden light, killing the poisonous smoke and weakening the petrification. Coupled with his own 50% resistance, the Hell Demon Dragon's attacks were almost ineffective.
Wearing the Zijin mask, he calmly took out the "Soul-Destroying Knife" and activated the "Shape-Severing" skill.
The short knife was covered in milky-white light. He held a shield in one hand, raising an electromagnetic shield in front of him, and rushed towards the severely injured Hell Demon Dragon.
In that instant, the strong control of the two Chaotic Sovereigns fell on him like a torrential rain: limb disorientation, distance disorientation, sensory disorientation, revelry... But they were all weakened and resolved by the Golden Crow Seal.
In terms of negative buff immunity, wielding the Golden Crow Seal and practicing the Pure Yang Body Cleansing Record made him stronger than Fu Qingyang and others.
Stephen Simpson's transformed Kromie demon suddenly turned his head, and two pale beams shot out from his eyes.
The electromagnetic protection shattered first, and the Zijin Shield met the pale beams, petrifying and shattering quickly. Then the Zijin Suit was dyed with a pale white color, freezing his entire body.
Three defensive items, unable to last even a second.
A mere gaze from a peak Sovereign broke through his strongest defense system, but Zhang Yuanqing's purpose had been achieved. He quickly deactivated the Zijin Suit and removed himself from it a second before his body was affected.
At this time, he had already killed his way to the charred demon dragon. The short knife spat out a vast expanse of white sword light, and he slashed down.
Poof!
The demon dragon's body was instantly cut in half, and blood and warm entrails scattered all over the ground.
Shape-Severing, ignoring physical defense.
Then, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes appeared with a viscous black energy, and he saw the Level 8 Sovereign's Yuan Shen, floating towards the sky, trying to escape.
Having reached the Level 8 position, his mental strength was already extremely powerful, condensing a Yuan Shen. Even if the physical body died, the soul would not dissipate on the spot, and could even continue fighting.
Zhang Yuanqing switched to the "Soul-Seizing" skill, covering the blade with black light.
He opened his palm, aimed it at the Yuan Shen in the sky from afar, and pulled it back to his side. Then, he activated the War Soul skill and slashed down.
Soul-Severing was the same as Shape-Severing. The former had a fatal effect on spiritual bodies, while the latter targeted the physical body, ignoring defense.
During this process, Kromie abandoned Fu Qingyang, flapped his wings and came, shooting out pale beams from his eyes.
Zhang Yuanqing's chest was dyed with a pale color. However, the petrification beam of the peak Sovereign had little effect on a Saint.
The pale color晕染spread, but did not immediately petrify him.
The Golden Crow Seal's purification and the 50% resistance of the Unyielding Will were Zhang Yuanqing's greatest confidence, and the reason why he suggested killing the Giant Demon first.
The black blade slashed through the Hell Demon Dragon's spiritual body.
In a shrill scream that only Night Wanderers could hear, the Yuan Shen turned into black smoke and dissipated.
Zhang Yuanqing curled the corners of his mouth and, in the instant that the Kromie demon descended, transformed into starlight and disappeared, returning to the side of Palace Master Zhisha. The Zijin Suit was left behind by him.
Almost simultaneously, Fu Qingyang, in a semi-viscous state, drove the sword light, escaping back to the arena.
Chris, covered in blood, drove her horse, carrying Vinnie, and escaped with nimble footwork amid the barrage of lightning bolts and wind blades.
Demon Eye Heavenly King stayed behind to cover the rear, opening pairs of scarlet-gold demonic eyes all over his body, contaminating the spirit and spiritual power of the enemy Sovereigns. He withdrew to the arena after his teammates regrouped.
With Pansy Edison's teleportation return, the battle came to an end.
The Sovereigns of the evil camp stared coldly at the Sovereigns of the law camp, without saying a word.
Those Saints who were lucky enough not to be affected were dumbfounded and completely unable to accept this result.
Twelve Sovereigns on their side, two peak Sovereigns. Such a lineup had suffered a crushing defeat, losing a Level 8 Sovereign. That was a Level 8 Sovereign!
In a relatively peaceful era, the death of a Level 8 Sovereign was big news.
And with the loss of a Level 8 Sovereign, they had failed to kill a Sovereign of the law camp.
Stephen Simpson walked to the side of the Zijin Suit, bent down to pick it up, intending to take the spoils, but suddenly, he was stunned?!
The three Zijin equipment seemed to weigh millions of pounds, firmly fixed to the ground, unable to be lifted at all.
A binding-type item?
The knowledgeable Lieutenant Stephen realized and felt a little regretful. Through the previous battle, he could see that these three pieces of equipment were both a set and a rule-type.
Palace Master Zhisha gently rubbed the side of the bronze pot, causing the spout to spray out streams of golden Life Origin Fluid, pouring it on her teammates.
Chris, Vinnie, and Demon Eye Heavenly King all showed expressions of enjoyment, and Fu Qingyang's face and hands regenerated flesh, with delicate and fair skin.
Zhang Yuanqing's body, burned by the Golden Crow Seal and carbonized by the Thunder God Suit, also regained its vitality.
Vinnie. Bernt looked at Jumang with a complex and surprised look.
A few days ago, the Jumang in her eyes was only a talent worthy of care and cultivation, but today, this subordinate had shown a combat strength and item reserves that left her shocked and trembling.
She realized one thing: Jumang's items did not originate from Fu Qingyang, because Fu Qingyang did not have so many high-level items.
Who exactly is he?
Chris held up the fish tank, nodded with satisfaction, and affirmed the musician who did not participate much in the battle.
The small fish Ruth in the fish tank spoke for its master: "The quality of the Life Origin Fluid is higher than any I have ever used."
The Life Origin Fluid could not replenish physical strength, but the golden liquid in the musician's pot allowed her to recover most of her physical strength, which was very magical.
Chris looked at Jumang again, and the small fish Ruth exclaimed: "There really was a reduction in personnel! I feel like we can counter-kill them."
The successful elimination of an enemy Sovereign greatly boosted the morale of the law camp.
At this time, Cowboy Locke in the distance sneered, "We haven't used our items yet!"
