Slaying the Demon with One Sword
A dazzling sword light flashed, and Yang Feng's body slowly turned into specks of light and dissipated. His Law Treasure also trembled and shattered.
The Evil Demon, however, seemed completely unharmed, showing no signs of attack whatsoever.
Shangguan Ouyang looked at Yang Feng, who was slowly disappearing, with complicated emotions. They knew Yang Feng's plan, and the reason they did not stop him was simply to respect his wishes.
Not far away, Shen Ge groaned and crashed heavily into the ruins. A huge wound on his chest, radiating golden light, was a terrifying sight.
Yang Feng's Sword Qi wasn't just aimed at the Evil Demon; a weaker strike also aimed at Shen Ge. If Shen Ge hadn't reacted quickly enough, that sword would have decapitated him as well.
Yang Feng glanced in Shen Ge's direction and sighed softly, "What a pity."
Having said that, his last remaining part of his body turned into specks of light and vanished.
"Shen Ge!"
Li Xue appeared beside Shen Ge in a flash, her face full of worry as she looked at the horrific wound on his chest. She quickly took out a bottle of healing pills and fed them to Shen Ge.
After Shen Ge's complexion improved a bit, Li Xue glared fiercely at Shangguan Ouyang and the others, then led Shen Ge to hide on the other side.
The Evil Demon's eyes held a look of bewilderment, followed by surprise, and finally, a slow calm. He turned his head slightly, but the next moment his neck snapped, and his head slowly tilted to the side and fell.
"You ant, I will come back for you."
Shen Ge didn't know who these words were addressed to, but he felt they were directed at him.
As soon as the Evil Demon finished speaking, its head slammed into the ground, creating a cloud of dust and a huge crater.
"That bastard is finally dead, hahaha." Qianyuan Yuan laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
The other survivors breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingshuang stepped forward with a touch of sorrow and put away Yang Feng's Storage Bag. After standing there for a long time, she sighed and said, "Alas, Senior Brother Yang, may you have a safe journey."
Qianyuan turned to Shangguan Ouyang and the others, bowed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, you slew the Evil Demon with a single sword strike. Such heroic spirit is truly unparalleled. May Fellow Daoist Yang have no worries on his next life. We respectfully bid you farewell."
"Respectfully seeing off Fellow Daoist Yang."
Everyone bowed slightly in the direction where Yang Feng had disappeared, because no matter what, he had killed the Evil Demon, and they all owed him a debt of gratitude for saving their lives.
In the distance, Shen Ge watched them see the man off. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but he neither bowed nor scoffed or cursed. He simply watched quietly.
Although he was almost killed by a sword, he was the one who started the feud between the two, so he had to bear the consequences himself.
"Shen Ge, we should go. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave once they have some free time."
"Yes, it's time to go. It's a pity we couldn't stop them until the very end. I wonder what they'll get in the end."
Shen Ge shook his head, forcing himself not to think about these things, and followed Li Xue, the two of them quietly making their way towards the exit.
In the air, Qianyuan glanced at the two sneaky figures, and after a moment's thought, decided not to remind Shangguan Ouyang and the others.
Although Yang Feng had just saved their lives, Shen Ge had also given them medicine before. Since both sides had shown kindness, they decided to pretend they hadn't seen anything. As long as they kept quiet, neither side would be let down.
"Thump~"
At this moment, another loud noise rang out in the secret realm, startling everyone so much that their hearts stopped. They all looked at the place where the sound came from, which was also an area covered by an array.
"You bastard, this is never going to end!" Qianyuan cursed, but his body betrayed him, and he ran recklessly toward the exit formation.
After all, they had all witnessed the strength of this Evil Demon. It took the deaths of seven or eight fellow cultivators to barely kill it. If another one came, they would all be wiped out.
The moment the loud noise rang out, Shen Ge and Li Xue stopped hiding and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the exit formation. They arrived there in less than ten breaths.
Qianyuan was the second to arrive. He glanced at Shen Ge and the other person, and without saying a word, he directly put his token into the formation.
Then, the others arrived one after another, without lingering at all, and immediately put in their tokens to start counting down.
Shangguan Ouyang looked back and saw that a crack had appeared in the formation. Suddenly, with a crack, a black tentacle broke through the formation and flew out.
However, just as Shen Ge were about to be teleported out, Shen Ge took out dozens of talismans and pasted them on various parts of the formation. As soon as he finished, he and Li Xue disappeared.
"Good lad, good idea." Qianyuan chuckled, and his figure disappeared as well.
A whirlpool appeared in the sky above the sea, and Shen Ge and Li Xue fell out.
Before they could catch their breath, a gaping maw leaped out of the water and lunged at them.
Li Xue swept her divine sense across the area, and the next moment she casually unleashed a water jet that instantly shredded the fish demon into minced meat.
"A mere second-tier fish demon dares to speak? It's courting death."
After coughing a few times and spitting out a mouthful of foul blood, Shen Ge's complexion finally regained some color. He looked at Li Xue and said, "Sister Xue, don't worry about this. Let's go, let's hurry back to shore. The deep sea is still too dangerous."
After determining their direction, the two transformed into two streaks of light and headed straight for the mainland.
Inside the secret realm, everyone had already fled. The dense array of talismans on the ground exploded, shattering the foundation of the teleportation array into dust, rendering the entire array completely useless.
"Roar!"
A giant black octopus, its body wreathed in demonic energy and oozing pus, crawled out. The moment it appeared, terrifying demonic energy swept through the entire secret realm, even causing the outermost array to tremble.
Unfortunately, this was once the Sea Demon Sect Sect's protective formation, and although so many years have passed, its defensive capabilities are still intact.
After a chaotic and desperate escape, Qianyuan finally managed to shake off the third-tier Demon Beast that were chasing him.
"Damn it, I almost died here as soon as I got out. The deep sea is really dangerous. I'd better stay away from here in the future."
On the other hand, Hua Ji was quite lucky; she didn't encounter any Demon Beast and returned to the near sea smoothly.
"This is a huge loss. All I got was a fragment of a pill and a pair of wings. What a waste of my old formation!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! I'll never recklessly venture into secret realms and ruins again."
However, her losses weren't that great. Although the formation was very defensive, she managed to recover some of the damage, though she felt a little uneasy.
The ones who really suffered the biggest losses were those who died in the secret realm. Not only did they lose their lives, but their Storage Bag were also taken by others. They truly lost both their lives and their wealth.
Anyway, everyone who survived this time gained something; no one suffered a complete loss.
Shangguan Ouyang and his companions went to the previous entrance and took a look. They found that the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared, which relieved them. The thing inside was now completely isolated.
