Three Great Demon Gods (Part 1)

Gu Sheng: "What comes next is for you to face the Three Great Demon Gods."

Cai'er: "The Three Great Demon Gods?"

Mm, yes. Are you prepared?

Don't worry, bro. I've been ready for a long time.

Once we finish this, it'll probably be around the time you were supposed to lose your memories.

Ah, bro, you mean that period when I lose my memories?

Mm, yes. But don't worry, you won't lose your memories.

Hehe, I know.

Gu Sheng: "You little brat."

Facing the formidable Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon, Long Haochen unleashed one of his strongest offensive skills, Fighting Kill Revolving Sword.

After advancing to the Fifth Rank, Long Haochen's understanding of Fighting Kill Revolving Sword had undergone a qualitative transformation. Especially after learning Continuous Block, his comprehension of using force against force had deepened considerably.

As he used it now, his entire body became like a dazzling golden vortex. Borrowing the force of the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's attacks, he spun so quickly that he was almost impossible to follow with the naked eye.

The vast golden mist was released because Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light was being wielded at an incredibly fast speed. Piercing grinding sounds rang out without end. Although the Golden Pattern Twin Blade Demon Lord was immensely powerful, its body could not compare to the twin swords in Long Haochen's hands. As its two thick forelimbs continuously swung to block, they had already been left with numerous marks by Long Haochen's swords.

Sheng Lingxin was somewhat stunned as he watched the scene before him.

Fighting Kill Revolving Sword—it was actually Fighting Kill Revolving Sword. Perhaps most people did not recognize this skill, but how could he possibly not know it?

His memories seemed to return to twenty years ago at that moment.

"Big Brother Long, you're incredible! What was that move you just used called? How come I've never seen it before?"

"You little tagalong, hurry back and cultivate. Otherwise, your grandfather will spank you."

"Big Brother Long, you still haven't told me what that move is called. Can you teach it to me?"

"Enough. Go back and cultivate properly. When you break through to the Fifth Rank, I'll teach you this move. It's a Punishment Knight skill I created myself, called Fighting Kill Revolving Sword. A Secret Skill that uses force against force and allows the weak to defeat the strong. You're an assassin, but you use dual weapons too, so you can barely learn it."

"Wow, that's great! I'll definitely break through to the Fifth Rank this year."

"As long as you're willing to work hard, your grandfather won't have to keep being disappointed in you. But remember, Fighting Kill Revolving Sword is best used by assassins as a finishing blow. It needs good follow-up moves beforehand. If you use it directly, assassins have relatively weak defenses, and your weapons aren't as long as ours knights'. It'll be easy to expose an opening."

Those words still rang in his ears, as though they had been spoken yesterday. Yet that tall, robust figure had not been seen for many years.

Sheng Lingxin suddenly felt his eyes sting, and the golden light before him seemed to grow even more dazzling.

Big Brother Long... are you well? After all these years, where did you go?

Fighting Kill Revolving Sword. This Long Haochen could actually use Fighting Kill Revolving Sword. Wait, he... his surname is Long. Could he be...

At that thought, Sheng Lingxin felt every hair on his body stand on end. His entire body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

If... if he really is Big Brother Long's child, how can I let him fall into such a dangerous situation?

Yes, while Sheng Lingxin was distracted, Long Haochen had already fallen into extreme danger.

The Golden Pattern Twin Blade Demon Lord was even more powerful than he had imagined. The incredible attack speed of Fighting Kill Revolving Sword, combined with its method of borrowing force, had allowed Long Haochen to surpass his usual limits. However, the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon he faced was not an ordinary Sixth Rank demon, but a powerful existence at the peak of the Sixth Rank, only one step away from entering the Seventh Rank.

The Golden Pattern Twin Blade Demon Lord had been abruptly stalled by Long Haochen, and Fighting Kill Revolving Sword had indeed caused it considerable trouble. However, once it stabilized itself slightly, incomparable, terrifying power erupted from its pair of forelimbs.

That was right. Long Haochen's Fighting Kill Revolving Sword excelled at borrowing force, but when the force he sought to borrow became too overwhelming, how much of it could he truly use?

The Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's pair of forelimbs simultaneously swept upward. Amid a violent clash, the golden sphere of light Long Haochen had become was hurled into the air. In midair, sweetness rose in Long Haochen's throat, and he could not stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

That terrifying force seemed as if it would shatter his body completely!

The Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's powerful hind legs stomped fiercely against the ground, propelling its massive body after Long Haochen. Its blade-like forelimbs had already risen. If they struck Long Haochen at full force, then even if he managed to block them, he would likely suffer grave injuries.

"Roar!" An enraged roar sounded at that very moment. It was Haoyue.

Red, gold, and cyan light shot out simultaneously. They were three arrow-like beams of intense light, converging in midair into one and slamming fiercely into the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's solid body.

The Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's body was enormous. Suspended in midair, it had no way to evade. The three merged beams faintly carried a layer of purple radiance. Amid a thunderous boom, the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon at the peak of the Sixth Rank was blasted straight out of the air, and large cracks spread across the carapace on its chest.

But the light in Haoyue's three heads and six eyes dimmed considerably after unleashing that strike.

It was at that moment that Sheng Lingxin moved.

After realizing that Long Haochen seemed to be connected to the Big Brother Long in his heart, he hesitated no longer. A pitch-black shadow became dreamlike and illusory beneath the night sky. Not a trace of metallic gleam appeared; that dark black halo flashed past in an instant.

That instant of resolve froze dripping water into ice within the range reached by the figure.

It was tangible killing intent that affected the temperature of the air. It was speed terrifying beyond measure.

How could the already damaged breastplate block that incomparably sharp impact?

The next instant, a spray of dark green fluid erupted wildly from the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's back, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

An assassin's single-target attacks had always been the strongest among the powerhouses of the Six Great Temples. Moreover, the Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon had been distracted by Long Haochen and Haoyue. Sheng Lingxin was a peak Seventh Rank powerhouse; dealing with a Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon like this naturally took only one strike.

Overlord's Thrust. If Cai'er had been here, she would certainly have sensed what skill Sheng Lingxin had used. Overlord's Thrust possessed not only immense attack power, but also tremendous impact force. The Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's body, having fallen to the ground, was directly flipped over.

At that moment, Long Haochen had just fallen from the sky. Haoyue leaped with all his strength and caught him in midair.

Without hesitation, Long Haochen swallowed a pill that he had been holding between his fingers. It was the Jade Body Protecting Pill Lin Xin had called the Great Strength Pill.

A crystalline jade-green layer appeared over the surface of his skin, and Long Haochen felt his strength greatly increase. At the same time, Little Light released a Holy Light Shield that fell over him, healing the internal injuries he had just sustained.

"How are you?" Sheng Lingxin's concerned voice sounded beside Long Haochen's ear. It sounded slow when described, but it had all happened in an extremely short time. From the moment Long Haochen used Fighting Kill Revolving Sword until he landed back on Haoyue's back, only a few breaths had passed. The Golden Pattern Double Blade Demon's death had not affected the Radiant Angels Knight Order's charge in the slightest.

At that moment, the two armies collided violently.

After charging over a long distance, the enormous metal wings rising from the backs of the Radiant Angels Knight Order slowly unfolded horizontally to either side of their bodies. With the help of those huge wings, the weight of both the knights and their mounts was greatly reduced. The tips of those metal wings were as sharp as blades. Under the force of their charge, their tremendous power erupted instantly, continuously tearing apart demon bodies. The heavy blades in their hands slashed out with overwhelming spiritual energy, smashing the demon army into immediate disarray. Wherever their blades pointed, nothing could stand against them.

The Radiant Angels Knight Order was the elite among the elite of Demon Expelling Pass. These three thousand knights could be said to be the most powerful knight force in all of Demon Expelling Pass and even the Demon Subduing Mountain Range. Three thousand Fifth Rank knights! Even the Knight Temple would have found it difficult to assemble such a force. The other temples would never have been able to receive such assistance from the Knight Temple. After all, the Assassin Temple and Knight Temple had the closest relationship.

Moreover, behind every Radiant Angels Knight hid an assassin from the Assassin Temple's Dark Night Assassins. They were also at the Fifth Rank. The Riding Thorn as One that Gao Yingjie had once mentioned to Long Haochen and Cai'er was displayed to perfection through them.

The Radiant Angels Knights' charge was enough to deal with all demons below the Fifth Rank. Even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, they could not possibly escape the attacks of the Dark Night Assassins. Once they encountered opponents above the Fifth Rank, at least several dozen black shadows would immediately spring into action. On the battlefield, an individual's power was ultimately insignificant. Against the full-force attacks of several dozen Fifth Rank assassins, even a Seventh Rank powerhouse would find it difficult to hold out without powerful equipment.

In that single collision, at least ten thousand demons were forcibly scattered by the Radiant Angels Knight Order. The number slain was beyond count.

"I'm fine." Hearing the concern in Sheng Lingxin's voice, Long Haochen answered instinctively.

He was an Earth Knight, but Haoyue excelled more at magic. Charging into battle like a knight was not Haoyue's specialty. Yet since they had already rushed out, he could only go all out.

Fight to survive!

"You only need to listen to my orders and charge forward. Do not stop. When you encounter enemies, I will strike." Sheng Lingxin's slightly deep voice rang out.

"Yes." With Sheng Lingxin's words, the pressure on Long Haochen immediately lessened greatly. Riding Haoyue, he charged rapidly forward. Demons kept appearing ahead, but whenever they were Fourth Rank or above, icy killing intent would shoot out from beside Long Haochen. Not a single demon could hinder him in the slightest. As for those with lower cultivation, they naturally became part of his Merit Points. Just then, Long Haochen suddenly felt his vision blur. The demon army that had been violently clashing with them seemed to have scattered. An open stretch of land actually appeared ahead.

"Careful. Ground Clan Invisibility User." Sheng Lingxin's voice suddenly turned cold.
