Bang!
A deep, resounding thud, like the beating of a drum.
Li Tie's body was blasted away like a tattered sack, crashing heavily to the ground and carving a long furrow.
His fine black iron armor was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a fist-shaped indentation had sunk into his chest.
"Puff..."
A mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out.
Li Tie struggled to use his twin swords to support himself, but his arms trembled violently, and his internal True Qi was already completely depleted.
It's over.
Only those two words remained in his mind.
The fox demon, who looked like a scholar, didn't even use his full strength, yet he toyed with this captain at the Mystic Realm Second Stage.
Despair gripped his heart.
A surge of resentment rose in his throat.
Su Yu!
That bastard who chased after that vixen!
If he were still alive, the two of them working together would not have ended up like this!
He deserved to Dead Land for a moment of lust!
On the other hand, Lin Quan are in an equally precarious situation.
His hair and beard stood on end, and his thick-backed, heavy blade was enveloped in a thick layer of earthy-yellow True Qi; every strike carried the power to split mountains.
But the old woman opposite him simply hovered in mid-air, leaning on a Kumu cane, without moving an inch.
When those pure black fox eyes swept over, Lin Quan's soul felt as if it were being pierced by steel needles, causing excruciating pain and even halting the flow of his True Qi.
That old hag's mental attacks are too bizarre!
Li Tie!
Lin Quan caught a glimpse of Li Tie being knocked away again, clearly exhausted, and felt extremely anxious.
He roared, unleashing his inner True Qi without regard for the cost, preparing to forcefully rush over to the rescue.
"You think you can distract yourself in front of me?"
The old woman's withered lips opened and closed, the words she uttered forming a gray ripple.
Bang!
The force of Lin Quan's powerful slashes crumbled upon contact.
He felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his body was forced back several steps, forcibly swallowing back the surging, metallic taste.
The old woman stopped looking at him, her pure black fox eyes turning to the scholar, her voice dry and impatient.
"What are we waiting for? Let's take him out."
"Yes, Elder."
The fox demon, who resembled a scholar, closed his folding fan, and the leisurely smile on his face turned into a cold killing intent.
He raised his right hand, and a gray Yao Qi several times larger than his own gathered in his palm, condensing into a constantly twisting and wailing skull.
"To die under my ' Vengeful Soul Devouring ' is a fitting end for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gray skull shot towards Li Tie, who was lying on the ground, with a piercing shriek.
That venomous aura, capable of tearing at the soul, assaulted our senses.
Li Tie gave up resistance.
He had exhausted his last bit of strength and couldn't even move a finger.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Just as the gray skull was less than three feet from his face...
A black afterimage flashed by!
boom--!!!
The gray skull, which contained the full force of Demon Cultivator at the Mystic Realm Third Level, exploded in mid-air!
The violent Yao Qi swept outwards, but was forcefully pushed back by the invisible baleful Sha Qi emanating from that figure, making it impossible for him to advance an inch.
An eerie silence descended upon the fierce battlefield.
Li Tie slowly opened his eyes.
A tall and straight figure.
That familiar dark armor, covered with hideous bone spikes, stood silently in front of him.
Dark red light flowed slowly across the armor, without the slightest damage.
He... is back?
He... just like that, blocked that attack?
Li Tie's mind went blank. The resentment and bitterness he had felt just moments before now seemed utterly absurd and laughable.
Click.
A crisp sound.
The folding fan in the scholar-fox demon's hand was snapped in two by his own hand.
He stared intently at the suddenly appearing figure in black armor, his composed facade shattering completely.
What kind of Sha Qi is this?
Where did he come from?
Behind them, the Demon Suppression Guard, who had been struggling to hold on, fell silent.
Clang!
One of the guards was so shocked that his arm slipped, and the heavy iron shield crashed to the ground.
"Is it... Lord Su?"
"Didn't he go after that vixen? How come...?"
"He just... broke through that Mystic Realm demon's attack with a single move?"
"My God... even Lieutenant Li couldn't hold out against him, and Lord Su...!"
The discussion abruptly ceased.
All eyes were fixed on the figure in black armor.
The monster they saw seemed nothing compared to this even more monstrous man!
Lin Quan forced back a wisp of gray Yao Qi, panting heavily. He looked at Su Yu's back with an extremely complicated expression.
This kid... has gotten stronger again!
How long has it been?
The aura emanating from him was even more profound and weighty than when he left!
Su Yu did not turn around.
The Purple Mansion Spirit-Nurturing Art had already given him a complete picture of the entire battlefield.
One is at the Mystic Realm Third Level, and the other Mystic Realm Fifth Level Peak.
The 12,000 Slaughter Points I just earned aren't enough.
He slowly raised his head, his face, covered by a dark mask, facing the Confucian scholar-fox demon with a bewildered expression.
He moved.
I gently stepped on the cracked ground with my foot.
There was no gas explosion.
There was only one dull, thud that struck right to the heart.
The next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
The composure of the scholar-fox demon shattered completely.
The moment the black-armored figure vanished, a tremor originating from the deepest part of his soul caused all the Yao Qi in his body to freeze.
It's not fast.
It disappeared.
It was as if it had been erased from this world without a trace.
He subconsciously unleashed his vast divine sense, attempting to capture the other party's trace, but wherever his divine sense reached, there was nothing.
Where are they?
The moment this thought arose...
A chilling, bone-chilling Sha Qi exploded behind him.
The scholar-fox demon felt his hair stand on end, and without thinking, he was about to unleash his protective Yao Qi to its fullest extent.
It's too late.
A fist covered in dark armor, gleaming with a heavy metallic sheen, Soundless imprinted itself on his back.
There was no earth-shattering noise.
Not a single trace of energy leaked out.
The scholar-fox demon's body suddenly stiffened.
He looked down, staring incredulously at his chest.
There, a hole the size of a fist was rapidly expanding from the inside out.
First came a layer of gray Yao Qi shield, like ripples spreading across water after a pebble has been thrown in, before Soundless vanishing.
Next came his proud demonic body, comparable to a Xuanbing weapon.
Tough skin and thick bones, under that punch, became as fragile as ice and snow under the scorching sun, directly decomposed and obliterated from the inside out by an overwhelming and powerful combined force.
First collapse, then drill.
The overwhelming force, heavy as a mountain, first shattered his heart meridian.
Immediately afterwards, an invincible and sharp force pierced through his body, pulverizing his internal organs and all his life force into dust.
"Well..."
The scholar-fox demon opened his mouth as if to say something, but only scattered bits of internal organs came out.
His fox-like eyes, which were once full of mockery and cruelty, were now filled with nothing but pure bewilderment and emptiness.
How could this be...?
He didn't even see the other person's movements clearly.
Su Yu's figure slowly appeared behind him, his right fist, which he had just withdrawn, was not stained with a single drop of blood.
He simply watched silently as the life force of this Mystic Realm Third Level demon rapidly slipped away before his eyes.
This punch was a fusion of the power of the Mystic Iron Pagoda Baleful Intent after its mastery, delivered using the Vajra Star-Shattering Seal technique.
The results were even better than expected.
The scholar-fox demon's body slumped forward.
Bang.
The body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
