Qiong Ku's mouth was so detestable that Wan Lei had long wanted to bring his hammer down on it.
With this strike, Qiong Ku's entire mouth of teeth was immediately smashed, and he spat out blood.
Wan Lei pressed his advantage, his hammer raining down on Qiong Ku like a storm.
Qiong Ku was stunned by the series of blows, unable to fight back as his opponent's speed was too great.
Who knew that this little thief he had hunted relentlessly, with nowhere to turn, had now gained the power to crush him?
Qiong Ku roared to the heavens, but his toothless mouth let out a sound that was particularly bizarre and grating.
Demonic energy surged from his body, transforming into demons, but these demons did not attack Wan Lei. Instead, they protected him, blocking Wan Lei's attacks.
The demons were like armor, shielding Qiong Ku tightly. Wan Lei struck twice, finding he could not break through.
Without hesitation, Wan Lei activated the Earth Thunder Rune, transforming himself into a blade of lightning. Combined with the speed of the Wind Blade Escape Technique, this blade shot towards Qiong Ku's chest at lightning speed.
The protective barrier formed by the demons was like paper before the thunderous cut. Wan Lei easily pierced Qiong Ku's defenses and sliced through his flesh.
When Wan Lei reappeared behind Qiong Ku, a gaping hole the size of a man, transparent from front to back, had appeared in Qiong Ku's chest.
His speed was so immense that Qiong Ku only felt the pain after Wan Lei had stabilized his stance.
"Wan Lei!"
Qiong Ku roared, releasing his aura to suppress the surrounding space. Wan Lei clearly felt his speed slowing under this pressure.
However, Wan Lei did not unleash his own domain or pressure to counter Qiong Ku. He was not in a hurry to kill Qiong Ku; he wanted to torment him and force him to reveal the demons' other plans.
Although the enemy's combat power had increased slightly, this increment was not enough to turn the tide.
Wan Lei slowed down, but his combat power was still far superior to Qiong Ku's. The two engaged in fierce combat, each move capable of causing the heavens to collapse and the sky to change color.
Qiong Ku took countless blows, his demonic figures destroyed and his armor shattered. Not a single part of him remained intact, his bones broken and sinews torn, leaving him in a pitiful state.
Wan Lei had many opportunities to kill Qiong Ku but refrained. Qiong Ku sensed this, believing Wan Lei was humiliating and deliberately torturing him.
Faced with such humiliation, Qiong Ku became enraged. His eyes turned blood-red, and he began to chant a strange incantation.
"Xin Jiang... Wumka!"
As this incantation was uttered, the blood mist in the sky surged towards Qiong Ku.
Wan Lei found the incantation vaguely familiar but could not recall where he had heard it.
The blood mist gradually formed a suit of crimson armor on Qiong Ku's body, slowly spreading to every part of him.
*Pfft!*
Just as the armor had not yet fully covered the large hole in his chest, two swords burning with a faint blue flame pierced Qiong Ku's back.
Then, Fang Xiaoyu grabbed the hilts of the swords with both hands and slashed outward, bisecting Qiong Ku from the chest.
The immense blood mist dissipated, and the bisected Qiong Ku fell to the ground.
Fang Xiaoyu had already killed Qiong Shen. It wasn't that she was significantly stronger than Wan Lei, but the Creation God Disk had been assisting her, and she had not held back, thus naturally finishing much faster than Wan Lei.
Once free, she saw Qiong Ku about to unleash a major attack and, without a second thought, immediately moved to intervene.
Wan Lei had also intended to stop Qiong Ku but did not act when he saw Fang Xiaoyu engage him.
It was important to yield when necessary. He already held supreme power; why compete for more glory? It was better to give Fang Xiaoyu a chance to shine and make her happy, especially since she had not had any significant moments since the Ghost Immortal Secret Realm and subsequent battles.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu flew to Qiong Ku's front. At this point, Qiong Ku's upper body could still barely move, while his lower half had fallen into the blood pool, with the blood energy surging towards the Blood Immortal Realm.
"Tell me, what are your demon race's other plans? I can give you a swift death."
Wan Lei's gaze was indifferent as he looked into Qiong Ku's eyes. This old adversary had ultimately fallen into their hands.
"Heh heh heh... Loyal souls of the demon race, forever unyielding! Even in death, my soul will return to the embrace of our true demon spirit. And you all will eventually become ghosts under our blades.
This universe will become your demon race's fertile ground for propagation and sustenance.
Although I die this time, the demon race has won. Even if your Saints were here, they would have to admit that our demon race has won!"
"I'm asking you about your other plans, you damn it!"
Wan Lei slammed his hammer onto Qiong Ku's mangled body.
"You... it's too late, heh heh heh..."
Qiong Ku laughed heart-wrenchingly, and two blood-red hexagrams suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Upon the appearance of these hexagram patterns, Qiong Ku's vitality vanished.
With Qiong Ku's death, everyone present felt that the enemy was completely annihilated; they had won.
Old Fang smiled and said to Qian Niao, "Alright, stop acting. Qiong Ku is dead, and no one can report you now."
Qian Niao looked to his side and saw that all the demons were indeed dead.
But Qian Niao had no time for grief; he suddenly cried out anxiously to Wan Lei,
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and stop Liu Naiweng!"
Wan Lei was startled and then felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
After the hexagrams appeared in Qiong Ku's eyes, the blood energy from his corpse suddenly surged out, along with the blood energy from the corpses of the other six demon commanders, all of which entered the Blood Immortal Realm in an instant.
They intended to use their own bloody corpses to help Liu Naiweng achieve immortality!
Wan Lei was greatly alarmed. His figure vanished abruptly, and when he reappeared, he was outside the Blood Immortal Realm.
Wan Lei roared and brought his hammer down. The Blood Immortal Realm shattered with a roar, revealing the valley and the pile of corpses within, and above the corpses... Liu Naiweng.
Liu Naiweng was shrouded in blood energy, his body emaciated, resembling a fierce ghost, his eyes closed, and he remained motionless.
Seeing this, Wan Lei immediately charged forward, intending to kill Liu Naiweng.
However, at this moment, Liu Naiweng opened his eyes, and his aura was released.
The aura was immense and heavy, like heavenly might, rendering resistance impossible.
Liu Naiweng merely waved his hand, and the charging Wan Lei was flung away like an insect.
Countless people were horrified by such terrifying power.
In the sky, dark clouds replaced the blood clouds, containing world-destroying thunder, ready to strike.
