498 Qianli Bachang

Ancestor Huai's expression changed as he felt the intense threat of life and death. The other six juniors' eyes also changed drastically. Faced with life and death, they seemed to be stunned by fear and forgot to step forward to help.

In the instant death approached, the Huai family patriarch desperately swung his sword, and the surrounding evil spirits rushed forward in terror. The Yin ghosts charged, but the demons were not afraid at all, and the Yin ghosts' claws were like tickling an itch.

The other two claws swept across, and the intense icy aura instantly solidified the demon from its ethereal form. The thick claws, with their sharp, knife-like claws, seemed to possess boundless power, and the energy surged forth like a whirlwind.

The evil spirits, like frozen ice blocks, shattered into pieces under the fierce impact, dissipating like smoke from a chimney.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Huai family patriarch struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the restraints. He mobilized the remaining power in his body and struck the sharp claws fiercely, attempting to hold them off for a moment before escaping.

The claws were incredibly powerful and made of exceptionally hard material. When the sword energy struck, they produced a series of booming sounds, yet they could not withstand the attack in the slightest.

'Hehe, the physical body is what we rely on. You know nothing of power, mortal.' The Red Serpent Demon looked smugly at the mortal bouncing around in front of him. Hmm, the taller of the mortals.

It probably tastes crunchy, and its eyes have a hint of cunning.

The two sharp claws on the upper limbs snapped shut instantly, piercing through the shoulder of the old ancestor Huai. The force from them crushed all the bones in the old ancestor Huai's body.

Ancestor Huai felt an immense force pierce through his body, and he could still sense it. "I really can transform into a human!" he thought, his mind a jumble of emotions. The pain made him gasp. His face turned pale, and a flicker of deathly terror crossed his eyes.

'Demon God, spare my life! I'm willing to serve you hand and foot, please spare my life!' His body was pierced through, like a skewer of meat.

The head of the Huai family quickly begged for mercy. In a life-or-death situation, as long as one is alive, there's always hope.

The demon chuckled and looked around. The blood energy not far away, as hot as a furnace, was truly tempting.

Admiring his own imposing physique, his muscles bulging like mountains, as heavy as a great mountain, he was very satisfied with the host body he had prepared for so long. If there were no disturbances, he would be even more satisfied if he could advance to the Black Iron or Profound Iron level in a while.

A hint of amusement and mockery flickered in his eyes as he thought to himself, 'These people actually think they know nothing. The place where I am is far more dangerous than this.'

Fortunately, I am a relatively weak being, and therefore less restricted by this world; otherwise, I would not have been able to descend in full.

Yes, all my power has descended upon this place, and these mortals have no idea that I risked my life to come here. But with so much blood energy here, this trip has been worthwhile. Once I've absorbed enough, when I return, let's see who dares to bully me then.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes—the anger of being bullied by a more powerful demon. He couldn't compete with others; the best cultivation grounds had all been snatched away by stronger ones. He hadn't been able to obtain many cultivation resources. Moreover, he had unintentionally offended the Black Serpent Clan, whom he couldn't afford to provoke. If he didn't run away, he would surely die.

Fortunately, I had once accidentally gained the faith of believers in this world and received offerings in exchange for some power. This random, mixed power actually yielded so much delicious food and blood-based sustenance. It was truly a worthwhile deal.

This time, we must be extra careful. However, the submissive ants before us, their fear and despair, can be used to our advantage.

Evil eyes scrutinized the Huai family head with a sinister gaze. That look exuded an all-knowing confidence and arrogance, as if mocking the Huai family head's insignificance and powerlessness. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, revealing a row of sharp fangs that sent chills down one's spine.

"Mortals cannot be trusted. Hand over your soul, or die." The words were domineering and oppressive, spreading endless fear and despair.

Black mist appeared intermittently, carrying the smells of gunpowder, sulfur, scorching magma, and a wind that did not belong to this world, its origin unknown. Around the red serpent demon, the soil began to rot and stink.

An evil force, from who knows where, brazenly peers into this world.

In various places, including the royal city, the capital of Qi, the Supreme Palace, and the Red King, those who were hidden from the world suddenly felt a sense of being spied on and felt uncomfortable. They couldn't help but look over.

He Chen's expression changed, and the thought instantly flashed through his mind: 'The Land of Demons.'

A soft voice reached Yun Heiyi, Lin Yidao: 'Kill the entire Huai family, including the City God.'

As soon as the words fell, Yun Heiyi, Lin Yi, and the others, their blades and swords flashing with a chilling killing intent, their bodies radiating intense heat and cold, instantly eliciting screams of agony.

The Huai family patriarch, who had just died, turned and ran. The scorching true energy of the spear on his back entered his body, and he instantly felt his noble body slowly shatter, his energy scattering, as if he had been blown into a sieve.

He Chen arrived in an instant, his muscles suddenly bursting forth, instantly growing to nine feet tall. The expanding power instantly shredded his ordinary clothes into dust.

The dragon scale armor still stretched and contracted freely, protecting the entire body.

In an instant, the Gentleman's Blade appeared in his hand, its blade wreathed in twin dragons of thunder and fire, incredibly fierce, as if composed of lightning from the heavens and flames from the earth's core, carrying the power to destroy everything. Three thousand five hundred bolts of lightning and flames could melt even steel, utterly crushing any enemy.

Like a roc spreading its wings, it soared away, its figure and steps seemingly blending with the wind, elegant and graceful, yet possessing a domineering and majestic aura.

With a single, swift horizontal slash, the blade moved like lightning, drawing a perfect arc in the air as it aimed directly for the opponent's throat.

The red snake demon paid no heed, and the sharp claws of the kebab suddenly struck, heading straight for the blade. The Huai family's City God Ancestor was pierced by the claws and could only watch helplessly as he was used as a shield to block the blade's attack.

I knew in my heart that this was the cunning of the demon, hoping to distract the attacker, but he and I were enemies too.

"Spare me, sir, spare me!" The Huai family patriarch begged for mercy in terror.

The Gentleman's Blade once again demonstrated its unparalleled power, sweeping across a thousand miles.

The Gentleman's Blade, evolved through devouring and further evolution, weighs tens of thousands of pounds yet is as light as a feather, containing boundless power. A bolt of lightning streaks across the sky, the trail left by the blade in the air accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder.

The moment the blade touched the Huai family patriarch, the instantaneous pleasure made Yun Heiyi, Lin Yi, and the others feel as if time stood still, with only the flash of the blade echoing before their eyes, too dazzling to take in.

With a flash of light, the Huai family patriarch was suddenly severed in two, one piece falling vertically, the other like a broken skewer of grilled meat. As the body solidified, the two pieces, one above the other, seemed like burning fuel, suddenly bursting into flames.

"Help! Help! Lord Serpent Demon, please save me! I am willing to offer my soul and submit to you!" the Huai family patriarch pleaded pitifully.
