Boom!
Wu Jie cleaved the Gui Chen Demon Lord flying with a saber strike. The void in the distance vibrated, and layers of blood mist spread, making the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s eyes split with rage.
“Xing Gui~~~”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord was filled with regret as he watched the blood mist rain down on the void. Another top venerate, a Demon Lord, of the demon race had perished.
“Human, state your name!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord glared at Wu Jie with bloodshot eyes, roaring with all his might. Veins bulged on his body, and his long saber pulsed with rolling demonic energy.
“Wu Jie, Commander of the Third Legion of the White Tiger Legion, Great Han Imperial Dynasty!”
Wu Jie gripped his long saber, his eyes as cold as ice as he gazed at Gui Chen. His voice boomed, imbued with the might of the White Tiger Divine Beast, sending ripples outward.
“Great Han Imperial Dynasty’s Wu Jie?”
Cold sweat beaded on the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s forehead. The Great Han Imperial Dynasty truly had an endless stream of powerhouses. Xu Chu, Yang Ye… and He Yuan Qing, who had pounded Xing Gui, and now before him stood another top venerate, Wu Jie!
“Good, good, good!”
“The current human race is truly remarkable!”
“Wu Jie of the Great Han Emperor, I, Gui Chen, the Fifth Demon Lord of the Demon Race, will have your life in exchange for Xing Gui’s blood, and him too!”
Gui Chen’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared ferociously at Wu Jie, pointing his long saber at He Yuan Qing in the distance.
“Hmph!”
He Yuan Qing sheathed his two hammers at his waist, crossing his arms and tilting his head slightly, looking down on the Gui Chen Demon Lord with disdain.
He extended his right hand, making a slicing motion across his own throat. His eyes turned cold, and an overwhelming killing intent surged.
“You… How dare you!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord, seeing He Yuan Qing’s contempt, instantly flew into a rage, roaring to the heavens and conjuring demonic energy in his hands around his black demonic saber.
“Your opponent is me!”
Wu Jie’s voice thundered. He swung his long saber, unleashing a silver-white beam of light. The silver light shimmered, a narrow, elongated silver-white streak that seemed to cleave open the void. Su Dan Novel Network.
The silver-white light surged, and the world was filled with blinding white light!
With a raise and a drop of his saber, less than a breath later, a silver-white lightning bolt descended upon the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s head.
“Don’t be so arrogant!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord twisted his long saber. The saber’s energy converged into a single point, bringing forth the abyss. Black light enveloped everything.
The divine sun in the heavens extinguished. One white and one black shone in the sky, colliding with a deafening roar that echoed through the heavens.
“Bang!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord’s arms, gripping the saber, trembled. The silver-white saber light pressed down. The saber’s back became lodged in the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s shoulder blade. The immense impact force ripped through flesh and blood, the saber’s back sinking in, causing blood to flow incessantly!
“A terrifying saber intent!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord’s eyes were filled with dread. If this had been the blade facing him, he would have long since been sent to the netherworld.
The silver-white saber light vanished. The Gui Chen Demon Lord forcefully pulled out his long saber, and a gush of blood spurted out. The deep crimson blood stained the black demonic saber, turning it a dark red.
“You won’t be so lucky next time.”
Wu Jie channeled energy into his long saber, silver-white light flickering along its blade. This Gui Chen Demon Lord reacted quickly, and he had almost finished him with one strike, but was just short.
“Hum!~~”
Wu Jie’s figure blurred. The entire sky seemed filled with Wu Jie’s saber-wielding form. White light flashed, illuminating the heavens.
“Whoosh…”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord’s eyes widened in terror as he watched countless saber shadows swiftly flash around him. With a tearing sound, his armor cracked, and the sharp saber light penetrated his flesh.
“Hum~~”
A saber’s hum echoed. The myriad of Wu Jie’s figures suddenly focused on the Gui Chen Demon Lord. The long saber descended, and silver light flashed across the sky!
“Not good!”
The Gui Chen Demon Lord couldn’t discern which of the myriad figures was real and which was fake. Saber shadows densely surrounded him from all directions. Demonic energy surged around his body, and the sound of countless saber impacts rang out around him, tinkling and clanging. With each collision, the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s face grew paler.
“Crack, crack, crack~~”
The void around Gui Chen tore apart, and wisps of void energy leaked out. Dense golden streams of light healed the cracks in the void. Saber shadows flashed, tearing the void apart again. The golden streams of light intensified, yet they could barely repair the torn void.
The void enveloped Gui Chen!
“Rrrriiipp!”
Wisps of white smoke rose from the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s body. His formidable flesh and skin began to melt away. With a clang, his saber dropped. The Gui Chen Demon Lord fell into the void, desperately wailing!
“Hum~~”
Wu Jie’s face paled. He hastily sheathed his saber. The myriad figures and saber shadows dispersed. The torn space took dozens of breaths to gradually repair.
Wisps of white smoke still rose from the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s body. His melting skin bubbled like boiling hot water.
“General Wu, what is happening?”
He Yuan Qing, his face filled with horror, watched as the void energy dissipated, revealing the Gui Chen Demon Lord, his body unrecognizable and melting, like a candle whose flame was about to be extinguished!
In the past, when the void shattered, He Yuan Qing and the others had seen golden streams of light repairing the void cracks. They had also seen an unusual amount of void energy.
This was the first time they had encountered void energy falling upon a martial artist, melting and evaporating everything like scorching hot water.
“I don’t know!”
Wu Jie gripped his long saber, watching the Gui Chen Demon Lord desperately try to move his melting body. A liquefying arm stretched towards Wu Jie and He Yuan Qing.
“Save… save…”
“Gurgle~~~”
His entire body dissolved into blood, pouring down. Wisps of white smoke rose into the sky. A top venerate had inexplicably perished.
“Hiss!!”
Wu Jie gasped, cold sweat covering his forehead. He Yuan Qing, standing beside him, was pale-faced, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the dissipating body of the Gui Chen Demon Lord.
“This matter is likely not as simple as it seems. General Wu, it would be best to report this matter thoroughly to the Commander. Be cautious!”
He Yuan Qing was quite uneasy. He gripped the giant hammers at his waist, their cold, killing aura gradually calming his agitated state.
“Alright!”
Wu Jie nodded solemnly, his gaze sweeping towards the horizon. He saw Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu leading the rear army in the distance, gradually approaching the battlefield.
“White Tiger Legion!”
Wu Jie steadied himself for a moment. He shook the White Tiger Legion banner in his hand, pointing its sharpened edge towards the shattered city.
“Kill!”
“Rumble!!”
He Yuan Qing strode through the void, channeling his unease into his twin hammers as he smashed them into the ground of the city. Dust billowed into the sky, and blood mist splashed. The thought of the Gui Chen Demon Lord’s strange death sent shivers down He Yuan Qing’s spine.
“It’s almost there!”
In the rear, Han Shizhong held the sword at his waist and looked at the city shrouded in thick smoke in the distance. With this city conquered, the demon race’s second defensive line at the northern gate of the Demon Cloud Palace would inevitably collapse completely.
The White Tiger Legion could then converge, their blades aimed directly at the northern gate of the Demon Cloud Palace, pushing further into the demon race’s core territory.
Blood mist enveloped the city, and rolling blood qi clashed ferociously within. The White Tiger’s void thundered, and silver-white saber light flashed menacingly amidst the thick smoke.
