Demonic Nature (Part Two)

"Big Brother!?" Severely injured, his physical body and even his Bull Demon God Armor were pierced through. Zhuge Xiang turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief. The person who attacked Zhuge Xiang was actually Liao Wufa!

"Zhuge Xiang, rest in peace. Without you, the Great Qin Empire will soon be able to wipe out the Asura Sect Rebel Army," Liao Wufa, his eyes bloodshot, as if burning with crimson Flame, staring at Zhuge Xiang with an icy aura that seemed to freeze even the soul, an endless indifference. (Fastest chapter updates)

"Why...?" Zhuge Xiang's voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief. They had sworn brotherhood, bound by life and death, but now, for no reason, they were trying to kill him. Zhuge Xiang simply couldn't understand it.

"There's no reason why. We walk different paths and cannot work together," Liao Wufa, his eyes still cold. "Although we are sworn brothers, you want to destroy the Great Qin Empire, while I want to preserve Great Qin Empire. Morality is more important than loyalty, so I must kill you."

"You want to preserve the Great Qin Empire? Why?" Zhuge Xiang found it hard to understand. Liao Wufa was also a pioneer in resisting the rule of the Great Qin Imperial Family, but now he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to preserve the Great Qin Empire, even at the cost of killing himself. This was completely unexpected by Zhuge Xiang.

Having reached Liao Wufa's level of cultivation, his beliefs were incredibly firm; how could he easily change them? Not to mention that his current beliefs were completely different from before.

"Ying Qianshan!? What exactly happened?" Zhuge Xiang turned around and questioned Ying Qianshan sternly.

Liao Wufa himself would never have such an absurd idea, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to protect the members of the Asura Sect. Therefore, the reason for Liao Wufa's drastic change in his views must lie with Ying Qianshan.

"Hehe, Liao Wufa think for himself, how would I know?" Faced with Zhuge Xiang's questioning, Ying Qianshan chuckled. Although he said it had nothing to do with him, his tone clearly revealed his smugness.

"How did he do that?" Not only was Zhuge Xiang incredulous, but even Qin Emperor and the others stared at Ying Qianshan in astonishment, finding it hard to believe.

Liao Wufa, who had slaughtered countless Imperial Clan powerhouses in the previous great battle, had actually changed his mind. Could even such a powerful figure have his beliefs altered? What methods did he use?

"Today is your death day!" Ying Qianshan, controlling the Great Demon God, approached Zhuge Xiang. Together with Liao Wufa, they blocked Zhuge Xiang's path from the left and right. Although Ying Qianshan and the others had not yet completely eliminated the Spirit Devouring Poison, Zhuge Xiang was already seriously injured. Moreover, with the Great Demon God and Liao Wufa joining forces, no matter how strong Zhuge Xiang was, he would have no chance of escape today.

"What's going on? My Mysterious Dragon Body can't Healing me?" His body, including the Bull Demon God Armor, had been pierced by Liao Wufa. Zhuge Xiang was waiting for the Mysterious Dragon Body's HP to heal his injuries, but after almost ten breaths, his injuries still hadn't healed, which made Zhuge Xiang's heart sink.

Upon carefully reviewing his information, Zhuge Xiang indeed saw a new negative status on his profile Status Panel, named "Corroding Bone Sorrow," Special Ability of the Demon Emperor Spear. This ability is triggered when the target's HP is reduced by more than 50%, preventing the target from Healing for 10 minutes. It is this special status that makes it difficult for Zhuge Xiang to recover from his injuries.

"The Demon Emperor Spear? So it was the Demon Emperor Spear that injured me just now, no wonder," Zhuge Xiang realized upon seeing the new status effect on himself.

The Great Qin Empire is famous for its Three Great Half-Immortal Artifact: the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Demon Emperor Spear, and the Heaven-Turning Seal. The Eastern Emperor Bell and the Heaven-Turning Seal are both in the hands of the Qin Emperor, but unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor Spear is now in the hands of Liao Wufa.

Under the sneak attack, with Liao Wufa's strength and the sharpness of the Demon Emperor Spear, it's no wonder that he was able to pierce through Zhuge Xiang's body and Bull Demon God Armor, his chest being pierced directly. If it weren't for Zhuge Xiang's Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fifth Layer and his strong enough vitality, this single blow would have been enough to kill an ordinary person.

"Escape, no matter what, we can only escape now." Seeing Liao Wufa and the Great Demon God closing in, and with himself severely injured and his HP reduced by more than half, Zhuge Xiang secretly pondered a way to escape. Given his current injuries, the hope of escaping from the Great Demon God and Liao Wufa was extremely slim.

Originally, at his peak, Zhuge Xiang could have used Xianyang City and hundreds of thousands of civilians to threaten his opponent. However, now, Zhuge Xiang himself is seriously injured, and Ying Qianshan not only has the Great Demon God, but also Liao Wufa as an ally. At this moment, even if Zhuge Xiang used Xianyang City, it would be difficult for him to pose a threat to the Great Qin Imperial Family. Naturally, at this time, Zhuge Xiang can only try to escape.

If he tries to escape now, he might still have a chance. Otherwise, once Qin Emperor and Ying Qianshan have suppressed the Spirit Devouring Poison in their bodies, Zhuge Xiang will have no hope of escaping.

"Zhuge Xiang, I know your strength very well. It's impossible for you to escape from me." Just as Zhuge Xiang was about to flee, Liao Wufa suddenly spoke. As he spoke, Liao Wufa's power surged, and he forcibly sealed off the space within a radius of dozens of miles with his own strength.

The sealed space, though not particularly sturdy, was too much for Zhuge Xiang to handle when facing both Liao Wufa and the Great Demon God. With Liao Wufa restricting Zhuge Xiang's movements, the Great Demon God could unleash his full power. The mere tens of miles of space were practically a handful for the Thousand Zhang -tall Great Demon God, leaving Zhuge Xiang with very little room to dodge.

The Great Demon God's attacks are powerful, but Zhuge Xiang should be able to dodge them with all his might. Unfortunately, Liao Wufa provide support from the side, which makes things even worse for Zhuge Xiang. Dodging is not so easy at all.

Dragging his heavily injured body, Zhuge Xiang barely managed to dodge the massive, mountain-like fist of the Great Demon God. However, in a blind spot, a Spear appeared like Venomous Snake's tongue, moving with incredible speed, right in the blind spot where Zhuge Xiang was dodging the Great Demon God's fist.

Pfft.

Blood splattered everywhere. Liao Wufa truly showed no regard for brotherhood. The Demon Emperor Spear in his hand viciously left a bloody hole in Zhuge Xiang's shoulder. If Zhuge Xiang hadn't dodged at the crucial moment, this spear would have pierced not only Zhuge Xiang's shoulder, but also his heart.

"He really wants to kill me!" This shot made Zhuge Xiang truly feel the killing intent from Liao Wufa. He really couldn't understand what kind of methods Ying Qianshan had used to make his sworn brother Liao Wufa's temperament change so drastically, and even use the Demon Emperor Spear to hunt him down.

"Don't hurt my disciple!" Just as Zhuge Xiang, dragging his heavily injured body, was struggling and in a sorry state under the combined attack of the Great Demon God and Liao Wufa, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the horizon.

The sound had barely reached everyone's ears when a figure appeared before them, forcefully piercing through the space Liao Wufa had sealed off.

His slender body was not particularly rugged, even somewhat thin, but within this small frame lay a magnificent aura; his strength was no less than Liao Wufa's.

"Master," Zhuge Xiang was slightly surprised when he saw the figure that appeared. It was Luo Ba. Zhuge Xiang did not expect that Luo Ba would follow him to Xianyang City.

"Luo Ba, I never expected you to come out to your death," the Qin Emperor said, staring at Luo Ba. As the ruler of a country and the Sect Master of the Asura Sect, the two knew each other very well. The Qin Emperor was even more aware of Luo Ba's strength; he was a peerless expert, second to none in the entire Great Qin Empire.

"Hmph, you think you can rescue them all by yourself? How did you manage to cower within the Asura Sect's Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation when I attacked you all?" Ying Qianshan wasn't so easy to talk to Luo Ba. He snorted coldly and, with a thought, the Great Demon God raised his enormous fist and smashed it directly down on Luo Ba.

"The Demon Luo Scripture!" Facing the attack of the Great Demon God, even though Luo Ba was already a top -Limit Expert in the Cultivation World, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He had personally witnessed the power of the Great Demon God during the battle that day.

The thirteen-layered Demon Luo Scripture unfolded, and an enormous demonic shadow appeared behind Luo Ba. The thirteen Phantom Image had been constantly rotating around Luo Ba also entered Luo Ba's body one after another, and manifested on his body.

Various treasures were bestowed upon Luo Ba. These treasures were conjured by the Demon Luo Scripture Cultivation Technique. Although they were between reality and illusion, the aura emanating from Luo Ba was extremely powerful, making him appear as if he were equipped with more than a dozen Half-Immortal Artifact Grade artifacts.

With a flash of his Demon Luo Boots, Luo Ba showed no intention of confronting the Great Demon God head-on. He dodged the mountain-sized fist and arrived beside Zhuge Xiang. Without a word, he grabbed Zhuge Xiang and fled at lightning speed. Knowing that Ying Qianshan and the others were unable to free up their hands, Luo Ba naturally knew that he needed to take this opportunity to escape.

"Trying to leave? Did you ask me first?" Liao Wufa said coldly as he watched Luo Ba and Zhuge Xiang flee at top speed. As he spoke, he threw the Demon Emperor Spear in his hand. The spinning Demon Emperor Spear carried a power that could pierce through Heaven and Earth.

Demon Luo Scripture circulated, Luo Ba grabbed Zhuge Xiang with one hand and the Demon Luo Sword with the other, slashing down at the incoming Demon Emperor Spear with unparalleled Sword Qi, its power seemingly no less than that of the Demon Emperor Spear.

Sword and spear clashed, Luo Ba's Demon Luo Sword shattered completely. At the same time, the rapidly spinning Demon Emperor Spear, with undiminished momentum, thrust down towards Luo Ba. If this thrust landed, Luo Ba and Zhuge Xiang would probably be skewered like candied hawthorns.

Luo Ba didn't think about how to dodge the attack; he knew it was unavoidable. In the nick of time, he grabbed Zhuge Xiang's hand and shoved Zhuge Xiang away.

Almost simultaneously, the blood-stained Demon Emperor Spear pierced Luo Ba's heart and grazed Zhuge Xiang's nose... (To be continued...)
