Chapter 1026 You Can't Escape

The black-robed man slowly approached, the demon's heart on top of the staff beating more violently. "Give up, humble human. The power of the demon god is not something you can contend with."

His voice was filled with evil. "You humans have a sweet scent. I think you would make excellent sacrifices."

Luo Li frowned and said fiercely, "Demon God? Are you from the Ninth Heaven?"

The black-robed man let out a strange, shrill laugh upon hearing this, and the laughter echoed in the woods.

"Nine Heavens? They're just a bunch of self-righteous fools."

He raised his hand and gently stroked the beating heart on the staff. Dark red blood dripped down the staff, corroding the ground and emitting wisps of green smoke. "When the devil descends, the Nine Heavens are nothing but fish on the chopping block, let alone you ants."

Bei Mingyu struggled to stand up, his sword slashing the ground with sparks. "If you're not from the Ninth Heaven, why did you create a monster with the aura of a demon?"

His eyes were sharp as he watched the black-robed man's every move.

Hearing this, the man in black robe suddenly jumped up, swept his staff across, and a black air wave rushed towards everyone.

"Demon seed? That's just a little gadget given by the Demon God."

His voice became increasingly frantic. "You think finding the crack will reveal the truth? How naive!"

Luo Li frowned tightly, "You are not Yan Ye's man?"

"Yan Ye?" The black-robed man laughed. "He's just a bastard who once betrayed the Demon God. How can he be compared to the Demon God?"

He raised his staff, "Foolish human, your lives will end here today!"

Before the black-robed man finished speaking, the heart on top of the staff suddenly burst into a dazzling blood light.

Luo Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and she shouted sternly: "Back off!"

The blood spread like a tide, and the grass and trees withered instantly wherever it passed.

Yue Hanchuan formed seals with his hands, and an ice wall rose from the ground, but it was corroded with countless holes the moment it came into contact with the blood.

"It's useless." The man in black robe grinned and waved his staff, and the light net shattered.

Just when the blood was about to engulf everyone, a golden sword beam fell from the sky.

The sword light was like the rising sun, splitting the blood curtain into two.

The man in black robe staggered back, and a tiny crack appeared on the heart on the staff.

Luo Li raised her eyes to the sky and saw a strange young man coming down on a sword. His moon-white robe rustled and the bronze compass hanging around his waist was spinning madly.

The young man pointed his sword directly at the black-robed man: "You remnants of the Demon God Temple, who were sealed tens of thousands of years ago, actually dared to kill my disciples of Wanjian Mountain. You truly deserve to die!"

He turned to Luo Li and the others and said, "My friends, please leave first. I will be there soon. Leave this to me."

“Puff!”

The black-robed man's arm suddenly turned into a bone spur and pierced through the young man's chest.

The strange thing was that no blood gushed out, but instead black mist overflowed from the wound.

The young man made a hand gesture with his backhand, and seven golden lights pierced into the black-robed man's crown. He himself turned into a point of light and dissipated, and the compass fell to the ground with a clang.

"Duplicate?" The black-robed man was furious, half of his rotten face exposed under the broken mask, "Damn Wanjian Mountain!"

He ripped off the tattered mask, revealing a face covered in black blood vessels—it was not a human face at all, but the face of a monster that was constantly decaying and regenerating.

"Since you have seen my true face..." His mouth was torn from ear to ear, revealing his sharp white fangs, "Then you will all become food for the Demon Lord!"

Luo Li suddenly pressed the vibrating sound transmission stone at her waist, and Shen Fuzhou's message exploded in her consciousness: "Luo Li, don't touch the black mist! That's the soul-devouring demonic energy! My uncle and I will be there soon, just hold on a little longer!"

Almost at the same time, the black-robed man slammed his staff heavily to the ground.

With him as the center, countless black mists spread out like poisonous snakes, and the ground of the entire forest began to collapse.

"Retreat!" Bei Mingyu grabbed Lan Xiaoxiao and quickly rushed backwards.

Dozens of giant bony claws suddenly stretched out from where everyone was originally standing, with chains wrapped around each finger bone.

Yue Hanchuan suddenly groaned. He looked down and found that his shadow was being pulled by some force and was slowly separating from his body.

What’s even more terrifying is that the chains are climbing up along the shadows!

"It's the Shadow Binding Technique!" Song Wanbai threw out twelve talismans to form a large formation, "Don't let the shadow touch the ground!"

An Shuxue quickly threw out a silver thread and wrapped it around his companions' waists, and they used the force to leap onto the treetops.

The land below has completely turned into a black swamp, and countless twisted human figures are floating up from the bottom of the swamp.

The black-robed man stood on the largest bone claw, a strange smile on his rotten face: "Can you escape?"

At this moment, a sword light fell from a distance and directly knocked the black-robed man to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

A moment later, two figures appeared in an instant.

Shen Fuzhou looked at Luo Li and the others and shouted worriedly: "Luo Li, are you guys okay?"

Before Luo Li could answer, the black-robed man suddenly jumped up from the ground, and the heart on the staff was completely shattered, turning into a bloody rain.

"Be careful!" The young man in white robe shouted coldly, and with a wave of his sleeves, a moon-white barrier instantly unfolded, blocking all the blood rain.

Shen Fuzhou's eyes darkened, the long sword in his hand hummed, and the sword body flashed with blazing white lightning, pointing directly at the black-robed man: "You lackey of the Demon God Temple, today I will destroy you both physically and spiritually!"

The man in black robe kept grinning, his rotten skin peeling off, revealing his white bones, but they healed quickly in the demonic energy.

He clasped his hands together suddenly, the ground shook violently, and countless bone chains broke out of the ground, strangling towards everyone like giant pythons.

"Back off!" The young man in white robe formed a seal with one hand, and a sword light exploded in the air, turning into a rain of fire all over the sky, burning the chains to ashes.

Luo Li took the opportunity to draw the short blade from her waist, and with a flash of her body, she went straight for the black-robed man's throat.

However, just as the blade was about to penetrate, the man in black robe strangely turned into black mist and dissipated, then condensed again several feet away.

"It's useless, little girl." The black-robed man laughed coldly, "In front of the power of the Demon Lord, you are nothing but ants."

The young man in white robe had a cold look in his eyes, and frost gathered on his fingertips. He whispered, "His weakness is in his head."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xiaoxiao quickly swung her whip, which was shaped like a blade and attacked the black-robed man's chest.

The man in black robe waved his sleeves to resist, but unexpectedly Luo Li had already circled behind him, and the long sword came out in an instant, piercing his head in an instant!

“Ah——!” The man in black robe let out a shrill roar. Black mist surged from the wound, but it could not heal instantly.

"Sure enough!" Song Wanbai's eyes flashed, "His demonic energy core is damaged!"

The young man in white robe seized the opportunity, the sword tip suddenly flashed with lightning, and he slashed it down with one sword!

"boom--!"

The black-robed man's body shattered into pieces in the lightning, and finally turned into a pool of smelly black blood.

However, just when everyone thought it was over, the pool of black blood began to wriggle strangely, quickly condensing into a hideous ghost face, roaring: "The Lord Demon... will eventually come... You... can't escape..."
