Lu Yang realized it then as well. If the Blazing Demon God had not been there today, they would all have died. Fortunately, this Five-Eyed Demon King specialized in attacking souls. If it had dealt ordinary elemental damage, like a fire demon, they would all have been dead.
But things were different now. He had killed the Five-Eyed Demon King and obtained its magic core. Looking at the mist that was about to disperse, he carried the core over to Fu Nian.
Fu Nian had only collapsed because his Soul Sea had suddenly run dry, and the abrupt pressure of the inward collapse had overwhelmed his body. He had not suffered any actual injuries.
He had originally thought he was doomed this time. Just as he prepared himself for death, he saw Lu Yang running over as the mist dispersed, carrying a massive magic core in his hands. Fu Nian's eyes widened in excitement as he asked, "Where is the Five-Eyed Demon King?"
Lu Yang smiled and tossed the magic core in his hands. "Dead. I stabbed it to death with one strike."
"How did you do that?" Fu Nian knew what had happened the moment he saw the core. He had only seen such a magic core on border battlefields before. Its flowing radiance was so beautiful that he could not look away, yet rationally, he still could not believe it.
Lu Yang helped him to his feet and supported him toward the roadside as he explained how he had killed it. He left out the Blazing Demon God's part and merely said that he had hidden two longswords from the Redskins' other world in his sleeves, then used the mist to launch a sneak attack and kill the Five-Eyed Demon King.
"Impressive." Fu Nian did not doubt him.
