Dark Blood Demon: The boomerang from years ago finally...

"Whoosh~"

The world seemed to freeze for a moment, all was silent except for Ye Xinglan's slightly rapid breathing, and the starlight remaining on the Stargod Sword slowly dissipated like a dying candle, leaving a faint glow.

Although it was just a simple sword strike, it exhausted all her energy and spirit. Her understanding of the way of the sword, her letting go of the past, and her emotional outpouring were all concentrated on the sword's edge, pouring out as the dazzling Star Radiance slashed down.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan's face was as pale as paper, as if she would collapse at any moment, but her eyes burned with an unprecedentedly bright light.

That was the clarity and determination that emerged after breaking through the illusions and thoroughly understanding one's own swordsmanship.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify, and Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Fuzi, Wu Siduo, and the others all focused their gazes on the dissipating blood mist and broken corpses, and for a moment no one spoke.

Clearly, Ye Xinglan's earth-shattering sword strike had greatly shocked them, leaving them momentarily stunned.

Xu Xiaoyan, however, looked at Ye Xinglan with a hint of inquiry. Due to the Starlight Amplification, coupled with the resonance between her and Ye Xinglan's already high level of Martial Soul, she could somewhat sense the intense emotions that Ye Xinglan conveyed when he swung his sword.

As Xing Lan swung her sword, images related to Fusheng seemed to flash through her mind!

A Xu Xiaoyan's heart, but when her gaze swept over Fors, who was quietly watching the battle from behind, she forcibly suppressed this thought. Otherwise, Fusheng's inherited artifact might face another crisis.

"Xiaoyan, be careful, the battle isn't over yet!" Just then, Nan Fusheng suddenly spoke up to warn him.

"!!!"

Without the Xu Xiaoyan hesitation, out of absolute trust in her lover, Xu Xiaoyan's Sixth Spirit Ring instantly lit up.

The dazzling Star Radiance converged into a solid "Absolute Star Curtain," enveloping himself, Ye Xinglan, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Fuzi simultaneously, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier.

The instant the star curtain took shape, the Dark Blood Demon's chilling voice, as if emanating from the deepest hell, rang out. "Blood Demon, curse and kill!"

A strange, crisp sound filled the air, as if something invisible was shattering.

The invisible and intangible curse, capable of Erosion Element the soul, lunged at the four women like a maggot clinging to their bones. However, before it could even approach the star curtain, it was blocked by the dazzling light, unable to move an inch. In the end, it turned into specks of black light on the surface of the star curtain and vanished without a trace.

"How is that possible? Wasn't he cleaved in two? How come he's still alive?"

Lan Fuzi was filled with shock and anger. He subconsciously looked at the Dark Blood Demon's body, which had been split in two, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The body, split in two, still lay in the same spot, but had become withered and emaciated, like two dried corpses that had lost all moisture, devoid of any life, a stark contrast to its previous mangled state.

"Hehehe~" A sharp, piercing laugh rang out, and the figure of the Dark Blood Demon reappeared before everyone's eyes without warning.

His body was unmarked, and although his aura had weakened somewhat, he still maintained the formidable strength of Limit Douluo. The resentment and mockery in his eyes were even greater than before.

"Back then, even someone like Yun Ming couldn't completely kill me. You think you can take my life with these petty tricks? Naive, so incredibly naive!"

Lan Fuzi's expression was tense as he stared intently at the Dark Blood Demon, his voice trembling slightly with shock. "This is impossible! You were clearly cleaved in two by that sword strike, how could you still be alive?"

"Hehehe~ That was nothing more than one of my Blood Servant." The Dark Blood Demon's eerie laughter grew increasingly grating, as if deliberately intended to instill despair in everyone. He explained slowly and deliberately:

"As long as my Blood Servant don't die, I can never be killed. By the way, I have some 'good news'—I still have dozens of Blood Servant like these that can take my place."

As a renowned Evil Soul Master, the Dark Blood Demon has survived the bloodshed to this day thanks to his insidious methods.

By refining Blood Servant with the Blood Demon Martial Soul, one can not only transform it into Clone -like entity to share the risks, but also act as a substitute in critical moments to withstand fatal attacks, thereby protecting oneself.

Back then, it was precisely by relying on this tactic that he managed to deceive Yun Ming's Thunder methods and escape by sheer luck.

Although Ye Xinglan's sword strike was unexpected and incredibly powerful, it wasn't enough to kill him.

Upon hearing his words, Lan Fuzi's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. He couldn't even eliminate the traces of the enemy; such an opponent was undoubtedly extremely troublesome.

Even Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but when she noticed that Fors and Gu Yuena behind her still looked calm and composed, as if they had everything under control, her unease instantly dissipated, and she regained some confidence.

"Fancy and frivolous." Gu Yuena glanced at the Dark Blood Demon indifferently, her tone filled with undisguised contempt, offering a concise evaluation.

In fact, she was indeed qualified to make such a assessment. Even without using God Level power, with her current strength, defeating the Dark Blood Demon would not be difficult.

As for completely killing the other party?

While the method of using Blood Servant to take someone's place was somewhat troublesome, it was merely troublesome. If she so desired, there were at least nine ways to completely eliminate this threat. However...

Gu Yuena glanced at Fors impassively, thinking to herself: Is this woman planning to stand by and do nothing forever?

A mere Dark Blood Demon is nothing to fear, but if we can use this opportunity to test Fors ' true strength, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Nan Fusheng, who was instinctively shielded "behind" by everyone, looked at the arrogant Dark Blood Demon in front of him, a subtle, strange glint flashing in his eyes.

His Spiritual Power quietly probed into the Storage Soul Tool and accurately located the Blood Servant corpse that he had accidentally collected in the Underground Research Institute back in the Dou Ling Continent.

(PS: The Blood Servant's corpse comes from Chapter 621: The Underground Research Institute.)

"Since we've bumped into each other so coincidentally, we have to give the Dark Blood Demon a 'big surprise' today."

A barely perceptible smile curved Nan Fusheng's lips as his Spiritual Power, like fine threads, silently imprinted itself onto the Blood Servant's corpse.

Subsequently, he activated the "Error" ability, forcibly reconnecting this Blood Servant, which had long been severed from the Dark Blood Demon, to the other party's Blood Servant connection network.

However, due to the Distortion and Tampering caused by the "bug" ability, it's hard to say who is the master and who is the servant in this connection.

"Little girl," Absolute Establishment. "Although it's a bit troublesome, how long can you hold out given your current situation?"

A glint of insight flashed in the Dark Blood Demon's crimson pupils, and his tone became even more certain. "I was not mistaken. Your ' Absolute Establishment ' is effective entirely because of the one hundred and eight stars surrounding you."

"In just a brief exchange, more than a dozen of them have already dimmed. At this rate, they will be completely depleted soon. At that time, you lot will be nothing more than objects in my grasp."

Before the words were even finished, the Black Fog surrounding the Dark Blood Demon surged even more violently, as if countless wronged souls were howling within it.

He deliberately slowed his speech, each word carrying a seductive magic. "Why bother with futile resistance? If you surrender now, you can suffer less."

These words, seemingly meant to persuade him to surrender, were actually intended to shake Xu Xiaoyan's resolve. This star curtain was far too troublesome for him; the purity and vastness of Star Radiance power perfectly countered his dark curse.

In a war of attrition, he was confident he could wear down his opponent, but this was Ming Capital, a city teeming with powerful figures. He dared not linger; a swift victory was the only option.

However, upon hearing his words, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly burst out laughing, "You don't need to worry about that. If it's just about maintaining this starry sky for the whole night, I can manage that."

The claim of "Absolute Establishment" is far more complex than that; the 108 stars are merely a means to amplify her power.

Even without these stars, her control abilities can still be used, and "Absolute Establishment" will not fail.

"And if you're referring to these stars? Then you see, haven't they been replenished now?"

As if to verify her words, 108 stars lit up again around Xu Xiaoyan, surrounding her.

Previously, controlling the Dark Blood Demon had consumed two beams of Star Radiance, and then, in order to amplify Ye Xinglan, ten more Star Radiance were consumed. But at this moment, all the consumed Star Radiance was actually replenished.

This is the true terror of the Starry Sky Douluo. As long as there is still Starry Sky above her, she can communicate with the stars with her Spiritual Power and continuously draw on the power of the stars to replenish her energy.

Even during the day, as long as the stars are not hidden, she can do it, only it requires slightly more Spiritual Power than at night.

"You bastard!"

Seeing this, the Dark Blood Demon's face darkened abruptly, and his clenched fists cracked as if his bones were grinding together. He had thought he could bewitch and shake his opponent's resolve, but he hadn't expected the opponent to have such methods. Now, it was uncertain how long the battle would be prolonged.

No, even if it's just for his own sake, he has to take this group of people down with him today!

"Na Nali!" The Dark Blood Demon's voice carried a hint of impatience as he secretly transmitted his voice through his Soul Power, "What are you still hesitating for? Act quickly! Deal with that little girl who controls the Star Curtain first, then you and I can join forces and wipe them all out!"

He couldn't understand why Dark Bell, who had been lurking among the group, hadn't made a move yet. With Na Nali's stealth abilities, a sneak attack at this moment should have had a very high success rate.

Meanwhile, Na Nali, who was mingling with the crowd watching from a distance, was already looking like a frightened bird.

Hearing the Dark Blood Demon's urging, she instinctively shrank back, inwardly groaning, "Make a move? I'd have to be alive to do it!"

She furtively glanced up at Fors, who stood not far ahead. From her current position, a reckless sneak attack might succeed, but what would happen afterward?

Na Nali's gaze involuntarily swept over Sirin and Nahida beside Fors. Her face was almost green with fright, and she had only one thought in her mind: she dared not move, she really dared not move at all!

Fors's casual "Zen Meditation Seal" in the Dessert Shop had already left her with lingering fear.

Given the current situation, if she dares to act rashly, she might really become "Na Nali- chan".

Just then, Fors, who had been watching the battle, suddenly changed his expression, his eyes lit up, and he slowly stepped forward to Xu Xiaoyan's side. A calm smile appeared on his face as he said, "Xiaoyan, it's my turn now. I'll handle this guy from now on."

Xu Xiaoyan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously took a step back, saying with some worry, "I'm fine, but Fors, are you really okay? Or should we all gang up on him and beat him up?"

Fors puffed out his chest slightly, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance. "Xiaoyan, don't forget who I am. A mere Dark Blood Demon isn't even worthy of posing a threat to me. I've just recently acquired some interesting gadgets and wanted to find someone to test their effects on."

"That's true." Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan Xiaoyan's worries lessened slightly.

She couldn't help but recall Fors's amazing and glorious achievements in the past. Although her own strength was already considerable, Fors's talent far surpassed hers, and now, his cultivation and strength would only become more unfathomable.

"They changed the person?"

The Dark Blood Demon looked at Fors as he approached, his eyes narrowing slightly beneath his Cloak as he let out a sinister laugh, "I didn't even put the Qiangu Dongfeng in my eyes, yet you, a mere Spirit Emissary, dare to court death before me?"

Fors smiled calmly, his tone steady yet carrying an undeniable certainty. "I've long heard that the Dark Blood Demon is quite skilled in the art of curses, and coincidentally, I've also recently done some research on this kind of unorthodox method. Today, I'd like to use you as a test subject."

"Oh? Since when did the Spirit Emissary of the Spirit Pagoda start researching curse techniques?"

The Dark Blood Demon scoffed disdainfully, his mockery undisguised. "Besides, you're just a wet nurse, yet you dare to boast that you want to use me for experiments? Hahaha, aren't you afraid of being laughed at, you ignorant brat!"

"Hehe." Fors ignored his sarcasm and calmly took out a Voodoo Doll from the Storage Soul Tool at her waist.

This Voodoo Doll is extremely well-made, almost indistinguishable from Mahito, with all facial features complete, and even the teeth inside are clearly visible when the mouth is open.

On the back of the Voodoo Doll, the four characters "Dark Blood Demon" were clearly engraved in ink.

"Cursed Doll? Hahaha! I thought you little brat could come up with some sophisticated curse technique, but it's just some childish game!"

Seeing this, the Dark Blood Demon's disdain deepened. Originally, seeing this little girl from the Spirit Pagoda dare to speak so arrogantly, he assumed she must be hiding some powerful trump card, and he was somewhat wary of her.

But when he saw the Voodoo Doll, he had a general idea of Fors's intentions.

Cursed Doll are nothing more than a false form of witchcraft that once circulated among the people.

To perform this spell, the caster must first obtain the target's body tissues, such as hair or nails, and then write the target's real name and birth date on the doll before the curse can be cast.

In fact, even within the Holy Spirit Cult today, there are several Evil Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the Cursed Doll.

While the Cursed Doll they control don't have as many limitations, they still need to be physically present in front of the target to cast a curse. Similarly, if they want to cast a remote curse, they need the target's body tissue as a medium.

As an expert in curses, the Dark Blood Demon was well aware of the limitations of Cursed Doll.

Using it to curse an opponent two or three levels weaker than oneself is naturally fine, but if it is used to curse a strong opponent of the same level, the caster will inevitably pay a bloody price.

Even for Spirit Master whose Martial Soul is itself Cursed Doll, cursing others requires paying a considerable price.

Fors, a complete novice, to think he could curse himself with something of dubious authenticity is utterly absurd.

Regardless of whether the Voodoo Doll truly possessed the power of a curse, even if it did have some supernatural abilities, Fors's strength was far inferior to his, not to mention that he didn't even know Fors's real name, and merely had the four words "Dark Blood Demon" hastily inscribed on it, yet he thought he could curse him to death...

Naive! Utterly naive!

"Haha, little girl, putting everything else aside, at least you managed to make me laugh."

The Dark Blood Demon hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time, but seeing Fors's serious expression, he couldn't help but want to burst into laughter, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Fors remained unmoved, slowly placing her hand into the Voodoo Doll's mouth, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, "Since you just said you were going to be laughed at, I'll give you a hand in return."

Before she finished speaking, with a gentle movement of her delicate hand, she forcefully removed a large tooth from the Voodoo Doll's mouth.

"Haha... Ooh... Pfft!"

Almost at the same moment, the Dark Blood Demon, who was laughing loudly, suddenly let out a cry of pain. Immediately afterward, a blood-stained front tooth flew out and fell to the ground with a "thud," making a crisp sound.

Dark Blood Demon: "???"
