Even Lan Yuexin had to start to doubt: was it really that exaggerated?

At this moment, both Lin Jinglong and Wan Lingzi had injuries and were bleeding profusely.

Wanlingzi's consciousness grew increasingly frenzied.

He had gone mad with demonic energy years ago, but he was unwilling to turn back. As a result, the demonic energy in his body accumulated more and more. Now, after choosing the most dangerous path, he knew that there was no turning back.

His charisma continued to erupt.

A fierce battle with Lin Jinglong!

Blood splattered from their bodies.

There were even shattered scales and pieces of flesh and blood.

Wan Lingzi, as the abbot of the hidden force Yangxin Temple and also a top-tier expert in the world, couldn't help but burst into wild laughter when he saw Lin Jinglong's current state.

"Hahaha! Your injuries have become increasingly severe. Although you have mastered the vast Heavenly Demon Origin and even the power of the Heavenly Dao, none of that matters in front of my Dao Integration Supreme Realm!"

Lin Jinglong slashed at his opponent with his demonic sword.

In the midst of the clash, Wan Lingzi was sent flying.

"Hmm? How come this guy's strength is getting stronger as the battle goes on? Could it be that he was hiding his true power before?"

Wan Lingzi suddenly felt a little confused.

Lin Jinglong, wielding the demonic sword, unleashed a series of dark sword shadows that slashed towards his body.

It was so fast that even he couldn't react.

Wanlingzi felt fear again.

This time, there wasn't even time to dodge before one of his arms was severed, and he continued to fly sideways.

As his body hit the ground, even more sword shadows appeared, each strike aimed at his vital points.

This left him with almost no room to hide.

Even the surging demonic energy from all directions, and the mirage energy hidden within it, seemed to be affecting his mind.

This caused his consciousness to gradually become blurred.

His injuries became increasingly severe.

Almost in the last moments of his life, he heard Lin Jinglong's voice.

"I must admit, a Dao-Merging Supreme like you is quite capable, having withstood so many of my attacks. It is an honor for you to exchange your life for my injury once."

Lin Jinglong originally thought that he wouldn't encounter any trouble this time when he came out to deal with the other six demon caves. After all, even a Dao Integration Supreme wouldn't be able to withstand him for long.

Unexpectedly, this guy directly chose to enter the Demonic Yin Body state, which gave him a physique that could fight him, raising his strength to a new limit.

However, it took him a lot of effort.

In the end, it's just a matter of holding on for a little longer.

But in the end, Wanlingzi was still no match for him.

Wan Lingzi seemed to realize that he was about to lose consciousness, his injuries were getting worse, and Lin Jinglong's attacks were relentless.

If he is unable to retaliate.

Then he would very likely die at Lin Jinglong's hands!

At that moment, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

He roared and sprang to his feet.

After enduring several flashes of sword light, he lunged towards the demon's lair behind him.

The members of the Yangxin Temple, who had been watching the battle with trembling hands, were astonished to see their grandmaster rushing towards them.

"Grandmaster, what are you going to do?"

"Get out of my way!"

Wan Lingzi struck out with his palm.

The disciples who stood in front of him instantly exploded into a bloody mist, and everyone vanished without a trace.

Before Wan Lingzi escaped into the demon's lair...

He turned back to Lin Jinglong, who was chasing after him, and said, "If you keep chasing me, I will use the demonic energy on my body to detonate this demon cave and release the demonic energy that has accumulated for thousands of years."

Lin Jinglong frowned as he looked at him.

"Even if you detonate the Demon Cave, you will only live a little longer, and it may even put you into a demonic state."

"I don't care about all that. If you dare to come over, I'll shake this place and make demonic energy gush out. Don't forget, you have tens of thousands of Fengbei City residents behind you."

"If the Demon Cave erupts, they will surely die!"

Wan Lingzi looked completely deranged.

Lan Yuexin rushed over with a gloomy face. She cursed, "You bastard, even if you lost, you don't have to be such a sore loser!"

"You actually want to drag tens of thousands of people down with you!"

"Are you crazy?"

After she finished speaking, she pulled Lin Jinglong along, her eyes filled with worry.

"I'm afraid it's not advisable to continue attacking him. Otherwise, if the demonic energy erupts prematurely, the fate of the tens of thousands of people here will be uncertain."

Previously, when the demonic energy erupted in Tianlang City, although it lasted for a period of time, the warriors in the city had already fled in advance. The remaining people were also affected by the Blood Fiend Origin, so the demonic energy could not harm them.

But the situation in Fengbei City is quite different.

The tens of thousands of people here are mostly ordinary people.

If the demonic energy were to erupt, the consequences would be unimaginable!

They don't have the physical strength of martial artists.

Lin Jinglong's eyes flickered. He naturally had to consider the consequences carefully, but he quickly made a decision and said calmly, "Let him detonate the Demon Cave. Anyway, the Demon Cave was bound to explode sooner or later."

"But there are still a large number of ordinary people in the city."

"After it's detonated, you keep an eye on it. Once I've retrieved the Heavenly Demon's essence here with the Demon Sword, I'll naturally rush over to support you."

Lin Jinglong planned to use the Demon Sword to absorb the source of the Heavenly Demons here the moment the demonic energy erupted, thereby stopping the continued spread of the demonic energy.

This was naturally a risky gamble, but he was still unwilling to let Wan Lingzi go. This person was extremely powerful and could become an out-of-control demonic being at any time. If he lost control, he would become a major scourge to the Northern Region.

Who knows how many people will die at his hands?

Moreover, even when he enters the demonic state and loses his reason, this guy will still remember that he is his enemy.

What if he comes looking for trouble again?

Then we have no choice but to nip it in the bud!

Upon hearing Lin Jinglong's words, Lan Yuexin turned pale.

Are we really going to do this?

But Lin Jinglong had already made his decision, and his figure quietly rushed towards Wan Lingzi in front of him.

The other party saw Lin Jinglong rush towards him.

The combined forces of Heavenly Secrets and Heavenly Demons pressed down on him, almost rendering him unable to resist.

Knowing he was no match for them, Wan Lingzi finally roared in anger at the last moment, saying furiously, "Lin Jinglong, if you insist on killing me, then I will fight you to the death!"

He actually managed to create a unique resonance between his own demonic essence and the demonic energy that had accumulated in this demonic cave for thousands of years, just as the demonic sword could draw upon the demonic essence and absorb it into the sword.

He turned himself into a vessel, causing a large amount of demonic essence to pour out of the cave. After the seal was broken a few days ago, these seven interconnected demon caves were already on the verge of getting out of control!

"boom!"

A black aura surged forth from the demon's lair!
