Ye Qingchen was her junior brother. How could she just stand by and watch him march to his death?
In the previous battle, he had already sustained hidden injuries. If he doesn’t find an opportunity to heal them, his life will only beco more difficult. The Attribute Energy of this great demon matches his own, so fighting it is ultimately beneficial. If he can seize this chance, perhaps he can comprehend a way to heal himself!
Within the Formation, the great demon seed to have found an outlet for its rage, unleashing all its fury upon Ye Qingchen.
Before Ye Qingchen could even catch his breath, the demon leaped into the air and instantly appeared before him, its sharp claws shooting straight for his throat.
Like a lamb to the slaughter, Ye Qingchen was gripped tightly, unable to struggle as his eyes gradually beca stained with a bloody hue. Seeing the human in its grasp like a helpless doll, the demon squeezed out an ugly smile and brazenly taunted Li Nian’er, who watched from the periphery.
It’s all her fault! If not for this woman and her companions, I wouldn’t have ended up in this wretched state, let alone be gravely wounded! Humans truly are treacherous!
Pain spread throughout Ye Qingchen’s body, but his muddled mind gradually cleared. He lifted his arm, the Double Pupil Sword already in his hand.
The cyan Energy in his palm silently infused the blade. While the demon was distracted, he swung forward with all his might, striking the very claw that gripped his neck!
The demon, not anticipating that Ye Qingchen was still capable of fighting back, released its grip from the searing pain. Its massive body stumbled backward several steps. Crimson fire flashed in its eyes. The furious demon raised its other claw, wreathed in flas, and viciously swiped at Ye Qingchen, looking utterly exasperated.
Ye Qingchen had anticipated this. Ignoring the pain racking his body, he swiftly used Fire Spirit Charm Shadow to widen the gap between them, buying himself ti to gather power for his next attack.
The great demon hadn’t expected such speed from the young man. A flicker of surprise crossed its eyes, but it reacted quickly, placing both claws before it. Thick flas took shape upon them, gradually turning a deep orange-red.
This action caused the space within the Formation to beco searingly hot, so much so that even the spectators on the periter sensed sothing was wrong.
Cheng Lu narrowed his eyes at the move. He and his junior sister had suffered a bitter loss against this very technique. Although the demon’s current strength was only forty to fifty percent of its peak, if it went all out, his junior brother would likely struggle to defend himself.
This is its signature skill, after all. The attributes and Attribute Energy of the Demon Clan are innate. Combined with their natural physical advantages, the effects of their techniques are a hundred tis more potent than those of humans!
"This..." Cheng Lu felt a hint of worry.
Standing to one side, Xiao Xiao looked anxious. She inched forward several tis, only to be firmly pulled back by Li Nian’er on each occasion.
No one can help him in this process. It’s risky, but if Ye Qingchen can seize this opportunity, it will only benefit him!
Zhu Liang, who had a clear grasp of the situation, noticed the restlessness of those beside him and remarked casually, "Don’t worry. Our junior sister placed a Water Mark on our junior brother to protect his life. Whether he can achieve a breakthrough from this experience is up to his own comprehension now!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone present turned to stare at him, their eyes filled with silent reproach.
Zhu Liang sheepishly rubbed his nose, a look of helplessness on his face.
It’s not my fault. I dropped everything and rushed over as soon as I received the ssage. How could I have known our junior brother would act so quickly? I only managed to help a little when I arrived. No! I have to be faster next ti!
While Zhu Liang muttered to himself, his gaze fell back on Ye Qingchen, who had already made his decision.
The Demonic Qi shrouding the great demon’s body began to mix with the flas on its claws, turning the orange-red fire an inky black. The very air seed to grow suffocating.
Sothing is wrong. I sense the change and gaze intently at the great demon’s hands. The flas it’s using are entirely different from the ones I’ve used before. It seems to be a completely new thod—integrating Demonic Qi into the fire to amplify its attack power a hundredfold. This thod is quite similar to how I infuse my Wood and Fire Attribute Energy into my Double Pupil Sword. The resulting power seems to be many tis stronger!
In just a few monts, the great demon finished gathering power and rose into the air. It held the mass of inky black flas tightly in its palm as if it were a re toy.
Sensing imminent danger, Ye Qingchen channeled his Fire Attribute Energy into his legs and swiftly rushed to attack the great demon.
The great demon smirked with disdain, confidently unleashing the flas in its hand. The mont they were flung out, the flas scattered. They numbered in the tens of thousands, resembling streams of molten iron within the confined space.
The seemingly calm undulation surprised Ye Qingchen. I thought this move would severely injure . How could it be just a few sparks? There’s no way they can harm .
With this in mind, Ye Qingchen casually swung his Double Pupil Sword, pouring Wood Attribute Energy into it as he prepared to deliver a fatal blow.
However, the mont he leaped into the air, the atmosphere changed. The sparks, which had resembled flowing light, instantly and violently blossod into countless inky black flowers. Dense and oppressive, they rapidly filled all the space around him.
Ye Qingchen hastily retracted his sword, dodging while carefully observing the changes, his senses taut, not daring to relax for an instant.
My sixth sense is telling that these unassuming sparks are far more intense than any flas I’ve ever encountered! If I so much as touch one, I’ll be severely injured!
He wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. Seeing the great demon’s triumphant smile, he could barely contain his fury.
"What the hell are you playing at?" he demanded.
"You... are as good as dead..." The great demon smirked, its provocative gaze shifting towards the group of people outside the Formation.
Since they chose to confront , they can’t bla for being ruthless!
As the great demon’s voice faded, the countless fla blossoms that had blood in the air detonated in the blink of an eye.
A series of deafening CRACKS and POPS resounded as the very earth was blasted upward. Everything was engulfed in orange-red flas. The Formation itself was struck by the impact and began to tremble faintly.
Xiao Xiao gasped, her heart leaping into her throat. She fixed her gaze on the interior of the Formation, terrified of missing a single detail.
The Young Master’s senior sister surely wouldn’t harm him, but that great demon’s power... it’s just too terrifying...
Her hands clenched tightly, her eyes growing darker as she lost herself in thought.
Inside the Formation, smoke and dust billowed, completely obscuring everyone’s vision. However, those present were all powerful cultivators and could distinctly sense the two auras within—one strong, one weak.
