"That Corpse Demon Celestial Saber is terrifying!"
"Look! Not even Cyan Radiance Stone can withstand the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber's corrosion for a mont! Wherever that Demon Saber passes, nothing survives!"
"Can Hong Yu actually block it?"
"I'd say it's doubtful!"
"He probably can't. He's a dead man."
In the crowd, Liu Liyun and Gao Zijie exchanged a glance, both unconsciously clenching their fists. Their gazes were fixed on Hong Yu, wishing they could rush up and fight by his side.
However, they knew all too well that the gap in strength between them and Hong Yu was as wide as heaven and earth. If they went up, not only would they be useless, they would only get in the way and drag Hong Yu down.
Helplessness and bitterness filled their hearts.
Clenching their fists, they prayed silently, 'Brother Hong, you have to make it through this!'
A crazed, cold light flickered in Hong Lingtong's eyes. With his current strength, he could only unleash the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber once.
This strike, it could be said, was one Hong Lingtong intended to be fatal.
RUMBLE!
Boundless Demonic Qi surged and billowed. Hong Yu could clearly feel the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber. Especially when viewed through his left Cyan Eye, he could see millions of Corpse Rotting Insects on the Demon Saber, their tiny eyes all fixed on him.
The sight made Hong Yu's scalp tingle.
HUUUU...
Releasing a long, slow breath, Hong Yu's gaze suddenly turned sharp and cold. "The Power of Spirit Communication? To have such a talent, yet use it to commune with a bunch of disgusting Corpse Rotting Insects... I truly pity you! Hong Lingtong, today I'll show you that your so-called Four Kings are nothing but four paper tigers in my eyes!"
The mont his voice fell, a magnificent golden radiance erupted from Hong Yu's body.
The energy was turbulent and imnse, surging boundlessly.
He suddenly spread his legs into a horse stance, his center of gravity sinking slightly as he took a deep breath. As his chest rose and fell, streams of golden Flowing Light swirled over his Flowing Light Golden Armor, making his entire fra seem to swell in size.
His left and right hands moved before his chest, forming a series of Profound Mysteries Seal Techniques. Wisps of fiery red energy danced in his palms.
Like lively elves!
CHHSS! CHHSS!
The fiery red energy condensed, abruptly forming nine roaring Fire Dragons that writhed and coiled around each other.
"Void Fire Dragon!"
His shout was like a crack of thunder.
Hong Yu suddenly thrust his hands forward. Nine Flaming Long Dragons soared out from between his palms, their bodies growing larger until, in an instant, they beca nine twenty-ter-long dragons of Fla Elental Power. Their scales were fearso and their maws gaped wide as they intertwined, charging toward the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber.
BOOM!
The Corpse Demon Celestial Saber collided with the Fire Dragons.
A powerful ring of energy shockwaves spread out in all directions.
The circular shockwave radiated outwards, kicking up dust and sending stones flying. Even from a hundred ters away, so of the weaker Sword Sect disciples found it difficult to even breathe normally.
BANG! BANG!
The downward montum of the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber abruptly halted.
But its imnse power still put Hong Yu under trendous pressure.
His legs trembled, and he sank into the ground up to his knees.
'This Corpse Demon Celestial Saber is really sothing.'
A grave look flickered in Hong Yu's eyes.
The Corpse Demon Celestial Saber was ford from hundreds of thousands of Corpse Rotting Insects and possessed a terrifying corrosive power. Even a High Level Primordial Weapon could be reduced to a puddle of molten iron if eroded by it.
The nine Fire Dragons were already growing dimr.
But the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber seed completely undiminished. Its downward charge, which had stopped, now resud with renewed vigor. The Demon Saber drew closer and closer, putting imnse pressure on Hong Yu. His eyes flickered. 'Looks like this is the only way!'
At this thought, Hong Yu took a deep breath.
He suddenly released his hands. The nine Fire Dragons coiling around the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber, cut off from Hong Yu's Elental Power supply, were instantly severed by the Demon Saber.
"Look, Hong Yu can't hold on!"
"Brother Hong, run!"
"Hahaha! I told you he was courting death by provoking Elder Zhu! Now, Elder Zhu hasn't even shown herself, and her disciple alone is enough to kill him!"
"Show-offs really do get struck by lightning!"
Hong Yu, however, paid no heed to the jeers and taunts of the onlookers.
As he withdrew the Void Fire Dragon that had been blocking the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber, he had already pulled his legs out of the ground. His body suddenly dropped lower as he took a deep breath. His muscles contracted violently in an instant, and his nerves were stretched tighter than ever before.
His left Cyan Eye was fixed on the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber as it slashed down with unstoppable montum.
The vast Demonic Qi was already close enough to corrode him. If not for the powerful defense of the Flowing Light Golden Armor from his Eight Desolates Saint Slaying Technique, he would have already been severely injured by the Demonic Qi's erosion. Even so, the Demonic Qi emanating from the countless Corpse Rotting Insects was still eating away at the Flowing Light Golden Armor, making a "CHHSS! CHHSS!" sound.
Ten ters...
Five ters...
Three ters...
By the ti the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber was only half a ter from his head, the Flowing Light Golden Armor on Hong Yu's body had dimd, leaving only a thin layer. The mont the Demon Saber fell, it would slice him in two. He might even dissolve into a puddle of corpse fluid, leaving nothing behind.
And it was at this very mont that Hong Yu finally moved!
He suddenly raised both hands and shot them out to grab the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber.
"Hahaha, Hong Yu, have you run out of tricks? Are you ready to die? To think you'd try to fight my Corpse Demon Celestial Saber, my Corpse Rotting Insects, with your bare hands? You're delusional..." Seeing this, Hong Lingtong let out a burst of unrestrained mockery.
But the corners of Hong Yu's lips curved up slightly. "Ready to die? You really think so?"
"Heh heh heh, my Corpse Rotting Insects were personally cultivated by my master. They can easily corrode even a Mortal-level High-Grade Primordial Weapon, let alone your flesh and blood. I advise you..."
Before Hong Lingtong could finish, his eyes froze. A look of disbelief and shock appeared on his face. "What? Th-this... how is this possible?"
The mighty Corpse Demon Celestial Saber descended, and Hong Yu's hands of flesh and blood grabbed it directly by the blade.
BANG!
The Corpse Demon Celestial Saber shuddered violently, followed by a BZZZZZ sound. The Corpse Rotting Insects were clearly enraged and began to squirm toward Hong Yu.
But before they could even begin to corrode Hong Yu, the Corpse Rotting Insects, which had been seething with fury just a mont ago, suddenly froze as if they had t their natural predator. They were terrified into stillness, unable to move. Even the mighty Corpse Demon Celestial Saber froze completely in that instant, and the Corpse Rotting Insects that ford it grew agitated.
It seed as if they could fall apart at any mont.
"Wh-what's going on?"
"My heavens, did Hong Yu really just catch the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber with his bare hands?"
"Can soone tell if I'm dreaming..."
Countless experts let out low roars of shock and disbelief.
They had witnessed the terrifying destructive power of the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber with their own eyes. In everyone's subconscious, it was absolutely impossible for Hong Yu to survive this attack. But the scene unfolding before them was simply too bizarre!
No one noticed that Hong Yu had also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the palms he used to catch the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber, countless tiny black tendrils had wrapped around his hands, insulating them from contact with the blade. These black tendrils were what Hong Yu had unleashed from the Unjust Death Black Lotus within Xingtian, using the Profound Celestial Tower as a dium.
The Unjust Death Black Lotus was a Supre Treasure for cultivating the Dark Attribute. At the sa ti, it was also the nesis of all things dark and negative!
These Corpse Rotting Insects lived in Darkness, so naturally, they feared the Unjust Death Black Lotus!
In fact...
The Unjust Death Black Lotus even considered these Corpse Rotting Insects to be fertilizer!
GULP! GULP! GULP!
The Unjust Death Black Lotus transford into innurable tendrils that infiltrated the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber, piercing through the bodies of the Corpse Rotting Insects from the inside out and absorbing them completely in an instant.
In that brief mont, a full third of the hundreds of thousands of Corpse Rotting Insects within the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber had been devoured by the Unjust Death Black Lotus.
Inside the Profound Celestial Tower, Xingtian was already letting out excited, low growls.
"What's happening? Wh-why are my Corpse Rotting Insects losing their connection with ? Th-this... how is this possible?" Hong Lingtong muttered to himself, his face filled with terror and disbelief.
He tried to retract the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber and summon the Corpse Rotting Insects back.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, the Corpse Rotting Insects were as if rooted to the spot, completely ignoring his summons.
One hundred thousand Corpse Rotting Insects...
Two hundred thousand Corpse Rotting Insects...
The Unjust Death Black Lotus devoured them faster and faster. Within ten breaths, all seven to eight hundred thousand Corpse Rotting Insects had been completely consud. If Hong Yu hadn't made Xingtian retract it, the thing would have even tried to send out its tendrils to devour Hong Lingtong as well.
"Get down here!"
Hong Yu's palm transford into a massive hand of Elental Power, which he raised high before clenching its five fingers.
The dazed and terrified Hong Lingtong let out a miserable scream as Hong Yu viciously yanked him down. He crashed to the ground with a THUD, face-first.
CLATTER! CLATTER!
The hundreds of thousands of Corpse Rotting Insects that ford the Corpse Demon Celestial Saber had been sucked dry, leaving behind nothing but a pile of husks. After Hong Yu withdrew the Unjust Death Black Lotus, they scattered and fell like a shower of black raindrops.
The hard husks painfully pelted his face. Hong Lingtong shook his head blankly, his eyes filled with utter disbelief. "How is this possible? Didn't Master say she personally cultivated these Corpse Rotting Insects, and that not even a Primordial Core Realm expert could kill them? Why... why did it turn out like this?"
Hong Lingtong felt a profound sense of despair.
To obtain such imnse power, he had paid a heavy price—even the price of hiding in Darkness for a lifeti—to fuse his Corpse Demon physique with these special Corpse Rotting Insects.
But now...
The Corpse Rotting Insects, the source of his pride and strength, had been annihilated by Hong Yu in an instant. How could he accept this?
But Hong Yu couldn't care less about that. He slowly walked over, kicked Hong Lingtong onto his back, and stepped onto his chest. He pressed down with his foot, and with a CRACK, shattered half of Hong Lingtong's ribs. Looking down at the screaming Hong Lingtong, a cold glint appeared in Hong Yu's eyes. "This kick is for the interest owed from the Ten Thousand Borders Demon Realm."
He followed with two more kicks, each one breaking one of Hong Lingtong's arms and a leg. Hong Yu's gaze was as calm as ever. "This is the interest for trying to stop from saving my sister!"
BANG!
Another punch landed, smashing Hong Lingtong's shoulder. "This punch is to teach you how to be a decent human being."
"Y-you... if you have the guts, kill ."
Hong Lingtong roared.
Hong Yu wagged his index finger. "No, no, no. You're not worthy of being killed by !"
After speaking, he kicked the dog-like Hong Lingtong away. Taking a deep breath, he was about to turn and walk toward the third suite. But just as he turned, a familiar and utterly detestable voice ca from the crowd behind him...
"You crippled my little brother. Did you think you could leave here alive?"
