BXBX NOVEL Chapter 718: 371: Saint Sword Qi
Beyond that, everyone was shocked to discover that their own blood had been drawn, boiling uncontrollably within their veins.
The sights and sensations filled everyone with extreme fear and unease.
“What demon! Stop hiding and playing tricks, come out and fight if you dare!” Ren Chaoli said coldly, with a flicker of veiled apprehension in his eyes.
However, when his gaze fell upon his Demon Clan incarnation, the hint of apprehension quickly disappeared.
“Hehehehe… am I not right in front of you? Foolish,” that evil voice rang out again, but this time it came from Ren Chaoli’s Demon Clan incarnation, adding an eerie quality to it.
“This is bad, it’s an Outer Domain Demon, it has descended!” Lin Jingtian said with gravity.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible, this Demon Body has been refined by me, becoming my Incarnation; even if the Outer Domain Demons really descended, they can’t take it away!” Ren Chaoli declared coldly.
No sooner had his voice faded than an overwhelmingly powerful fluctuation suddenly descended upon the Demon Clan incarnation, and a black Nascent Soul fled from it.
“Hehehe, this Demon Body painstakingly crafted by me is not so easily occupied. As a reward, I’ll keep it!”
The Demon Clan Incarnation, no, it should be the Heavenly Demon Hagen, suddenly reached out a large hand and seized the fleeing black Nascent Soul, bringing it towards his mouth.
“Stop!”
Ren Chaoli bellowed, then burst forth at ultimate speed, charging towards Heavenly Demon Hagen.
“Babble!” Hagen, the Heavenly Demon, raised his other palm and effortlessly blocked Ren Chaoli with a light parry.
Previously, Ren Chaoli’s Realm had surged to the peak of the Third level of the Unity Realm, and even with the suppression of this world’s Heaven and Earth Original Will, in a full-force blow he managed to break the limit and barely reach the power of the Fourth level of the Unity Realm.
With such terrifying strength, he could have been called the first person in the history of Longwu Continent, yet he caused no harm to Heavenly Demon Hagen.
Boom!
At that moment, pure Magic Power erupted from Heavenly Demon Hagen, and the furious Ren Chaoli was sent flying backward, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of Demon qi.
Seeing this, Ren Chaoli’s complexion drastically changed, and the idea of retreat began to form in his mind.
However, he quickly noticed that the movements of the Demon Body appeared disjointed, akin to a puppet.
“It seems that the Heavenly Demon paid a significant price when it suddenly expelled my Nascent Soul earlier,” he thought.
His thoughts raced, and Ren Chaoli quickly concluded.
For him, the Yin Primordial Spirit was akin to a second life, extremely crucial, and he also noticed that there was a close connection between the Yin Primordial Spirit and the Demon Body; if handled correctly, he might be able to regain control of the Demon Body.
“He has just descended and hasn’t fully controlled the Demon Body yet. Attack him with me now, or we will all die!”
Ren Chaoli roared, and without even glancing at the others, he once again activated his Divine Ability and charged towards Heavenly Demon Hagen.
Upon Ren Chaoli’s words, Lin Jingtian also noticed the anomaly with Heavenly Demon Hagen. Since his arrival, he remained motionless, not actively attacking anyone. There was clearly a problem.
“Everyone, set aside your grievances for now, let’s slay the Heavenly Demon first, and then we’ll deal with the traitor!”
Upon hearing Lin Jingtian’s words, the others were stunned at first but then displayed resolute expressions. They immediately activated their spirit weapons, released their Divine Abilities, and all charged towards Heavenly Demon Hagen.
“Overestimating yourselves, hehehehe…” The grating voice of Heavenly Demon Hagen rang out once more, not as deep as before, but as loud as thunder. The Demon qi in the pit around them continued to converge without end, instantly transforming into countless demons and Rakshasas.
The many disciples of Green Flame Palace were entangled by the suddenly appearing demons and Rakshasas. Only Ren Chaoli, who had moved first, and Lin Jingtian got close to Heavenly Demon Hagen.
Given the strength of the Demon Body, even if Hagen’s strand of divine consciousness had not fully merged and could only harness a portion of its power, it could easily contend with Lin Jingtian and Ren Chaoli.
After dozens of breaths of fierce battle, the two finally understood Heavenly Demon Hagen’s situation. Indeed, he could not perfectly control the Demon Body and could only fight relying on his powerful life force and strength.
“As long as we hold out and prevent him from completely merging and controlling the Demon Body, and wait for Jin Jikang and Pu Jiao’s support, we have a chance,” thought Lin Jingtian.
And Ren Chaoli, still unable to retrieve his Yin Primordial Spirit, grew increasingly anxious.
If he continued to delay, no matter whether he could defeat the Heavenly Demon or not, his end would not be good.
“Hold on for another half an hour. If I still can’t retrieve the Yin Primordial Spirit by then, I’ll quickly leave this place.”
Thinking this, Ren Chaoli became even more frenzied, fighting Hagen with a reckless abandon, even exchanging injury for injury.
If the Heavenly Demon could be resolved before Jin Jikang and the others arrived, then he could still take command of the Demon Clan Incarnation, vanquish all those who knew the truth, and then blame everything on the Heavenly Demon, continuing as an Elite Disciple of Green Fire Palace.
If he still couldn’t suppress the Heavenly Demon within half an hour, then he would quickly flee, leaving Longwu Continent.
Ren Chaoli’s desperate fighting undoubtedly affected Heavenly Demon Hagen, not only obstructing the refinement of the previously devoured Yin Primordial Spirit but also impacting his fusion and control of the Demon Body.
“You’re courting death!” thundered Hagen in rage. He was a dominant Heavenly Demon, ruling over much of the Bloody Demon Domain, and now, to have two mere ants entangling him was undoubtedly a challenge to his dignity.
