The demon man clenched his teeth tightly, black blood seeping from his gums and sliding down the corner of his mouth.
He had long coveted Bai Ying's killing formation and had even secretly devised dozens of ways to seize it.
After witnessing the power of the killing formation that day, he couldn't sleep at night, his mind filled with the thought of possessing such a treasure.
"Heh..." A hoarse, cold laugh escaped his throat. "So, that earth-shattering killing formation really has failed..."
It made him so afraid that Bai Ying would use the killing formation to kill him when he first realized he was trapped!
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly erupted! His demonic energy exploded like a volcanic eruption, instantly filling the entire shrine with thick, inky black mist. The ground cracked under the terrifying demonic power, and foul-smelling blood seeped from the fissures.
"Without a killing formation, what are you?"
A beam of demonic energy, as thick as a bucket, crashed down. Bai Ying hastily dodged, but the aftershock still struck her sleeve, corroding it and creating several large holes. Her already pale face turned even more ashen, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
"Extreme Yin Fire, manifest!"
A deep blue flame erupted from her palm, transforming into nine ferocious fire snakes that lunged at the demon man.
Wherever the flames passed, even the air was frozen into ice crystals, which then instantly vaporized.
The ground was scorched with spiderweb-like char marks, and the rocks at the deepest depths had become vitrified.
"A trivial skill!"
The demon man neither dodged nor flinched, letting the flames pierce his chest.
His body dispersed like smoke and mist, then reformed three zhang away.
The extremely yin fire that should have burned everything failed to even ignite a single hem of his clothing.
"Hahaha!" He laughed wildly, sticking out his scarlet tongue to lick his fangs. "This extraordinary fire of heaven and earth should rightfully belong to me!"
Bai Ying's pupils constricted sharply, and she retreated hastily. However, the demon man was even faster, appearing behind her in the blink of an eye.
Claws swept in with a stench, and twisted vengeful spirits could be vaguely seen in the black mist swirling around their fingertips.
"Phantom Flower Void-Piercing Slash!"
At the critical moment, Bai Ying swung her sword in a backhand motion.
The seven-colored sword light descended like a rainbow, cleaving the demon man in two from head to toe. But before the splattered black blood could even hit the ground, it turned into wisps of mist and gathered again.
"It's no use, it's no use!"
The demonic man, his body reconstructed, grinned as he approached. "I have mastered the 'Mysterious Yin Undying Body,' my life essence is dispersed in every drop of demonic blood. You can never kill me; I am immortal..."
Bai Ying's breathing grew heavier and heavier, each breath carrying the stench of blood.
The stray hairs on his forehead were already soaked with sweat and stuck to his pale cheeks.
She stared intently at the unharmed demon man opposite her, her heart filled with turmoil.
The regenerative ability of this "Mysterious Yin Undying Body" is simply beyond the common sense of the cultivation world!
wrong...
She suddenly remembered the devil's previous behavior.
When he thought the killing formation was still there, he was clearly panicked and even risked his life essence to use Blood Escape.
What does this mean? It means that the killing formation can indeed threaten him!
This also shows that he is not without weaknesses!
A glint flashed in Bai Ying's eyes, but she deliberately slowed down her movements.
She pretended to be exhausted, staggering back two steps, while secretly observing every subtle change in the demon man's expression.
"Dragon Scales, go!"
She suddenly launched an attack, her dragon scales transforming into seven golden rays that pierced the demon man's eyes, throat, heart, and other vital points.
At the same time, she bit her tongue and spat a mouthful of blood onto the Kongtong Seal.
"boom!"
The Kongtong Seal swelled in the wind, transforming into a mountain the size of a peak that pressed down upon them.
The demon man scoffed, letting the attacks rain down on him. The vital points pierced by the golden light healed in the blink of an eye, and even his body, crushed into a pulp by the Kongtong Seal, rapidly reformed within the black mist.
"Lightning Seal!"
Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Ying made a hand seal, and dark clouds filled the sky. A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, crashed down. The lightning pierced through the demon man's crown, making him appear almost transparent.
However, no matter how severe the injury, the other party can recover in an instant.
Even more terrifyingly, Bai Ying was also severely injured by the demon's attack while attacking him.
She can't hold out much longer...
"Give up." The demon man casually straightened his sleeves. "Take away the dragon scales, the extreme yin fire, and..."
A greedy glint flashed in his eyes. "I saw your strength when we were in that fake killing formation. Your current strength is much weaker than when you killed those Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the Spirit Hidden Sect. You must have a more powerful treasure that can instantly boost your strength!"
"Hand over that secret treasure now, and I might grant you a quick death."
Bai Ying suddenly narrowed her eyes. As the other person spoke, she keenly noticed a detail—every time regeneration was completed, a faint, almost imperceptible flash of blood would appear between the demon man's brows.
So that's where the Achilles' heel is!
She calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, the dragon scales subtly spinning in her palm: "Want my treasure? Then... come and take it yourself!"
Before he could finish speaking, dozens of golden rays rained down on the demon man.
This time, she deliberately controlled her strength, allowing the golden light to penetrate only the non-lethal parts of her limbs.
"Foolish!" The demon man let the golden light enter his body, and his wounds healed in the blink of an eye.
Even so, Bai Ying did not give up. She actually shot dragon scales at the demon again, and the dragon scales quickly traversed his body, causing dozens more golden rays to shine.
"It's useless." He grinned maliciously as he approached. "I have already refined my life essence into every inch of my flesh and blood. Even if you chop me into mincemeat..."
He suddenly froze.
The golden light that remained within the body suddenly flared up, transforming into countless golden threads that traveled along the meridians. Even more terrifying, these golden threads actually formed a large net within the body!
The demon man was horrified to discover that his regeneration rate was slowing down dramatically!
"When...when did you..." He frantically channeled his demonic energy, only to be horrified to discover that the golden threads were traveling along his meridians straight towards his brow.
Bai Ying gently hooked her fingertip: "Now."
"Sizzle—"
The golden netting suddenly tightened, binding the demon man into a twisted position.
Even more terrifying, those golden threads, like living things, were slowly eroding the blood-red light between his brows.
"No! This is impossible!" The demon man finally panicked. The fatal flaw of the "Mysterious Yin Undying Body" was an absolute secret, unknown even to his closest disciples.
Bai Ying stepped forward slowly, dragon scales swirling in her palm to form a dazzling golden wheel: "You thought my previous attacks were all in vain?" She sneered, "Every scar is a mark tailor-made for you!"
