This sword strike severely injured the Demon King, shattering his armor. Large mouthfuls of blood mixed with wisps of black aura stained his clothes red. Qianye was stuck to the side, looking extremely disheveled.
"How is this possible... How could your strength be so great?!" The Demon King stared at Bai Hao in disbelief. He had been forced to this point with just one sword strike. Was the difference in strength really that great?
Bai Hao landed in front of it, and Qian Jing flicked Qian Ye up and held it in his hand. He looked at the Demon King indifferently and said, "Demon King... you were able to see the light of day again because of Venerable White Dragon, but now Venerable White Dragon has already fallen. Do you really think you can turn the world upside down?"
The Demon King seemed to have given up on resisting. Lying on the ground, he sneered and said, "Although the White Dragon Venerable is dead, his spirit will live on in our hearts. We will carry on the Venerable's path!"
"If you still have a chance, then carry it out." With a calm gesture, Bai Hao raised the Thousand Scenery sword in his hand and plunged it into the Demon King's heart without hesitation!
Just as he was about to pierce the Demon King's heart, suddenly, the Demon King's body swelled rapidly, expanding to a terrifying degree before exploding with a deafening roar.
Self-destruct!
Bai Hao's pupils contracted, and then he suddenly tapped his toes, his figure flashing through the air as ripples spread across the space, appearing dozens of meters away.
"boom--!"
The demon king's body rapidly expanded into a giant sphere, and when it exploded, it did not possess the overwhelming power expected. Instead, it transformed into a cloud of black mist that spread rapidly in all directions.
The black mist was extremely dense, as thick as ink, and nothing could be seen where it spread. At the same time, even space itself was violently distorted by the black mist's erosion.
"Everyone, retreat quickly!" Bai Hao had a very bad feeling about the black mist and shouted loudly as he retreated.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and saw the rapidly spreading black mist around them, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.
"retreat!"
Seeing this, everyone decisively shook off the monsters in front of them and quickly retreated.
Although the black mist was fast, it couldn't catch up with them. The resurrected monsters didn't dodge; after being swallowed by the black mist, they made no sound and seemed to have vanished.
As he retreated, Bai Hao swung his longsword, unleashing a sharp sword aura that struck the black mist. However, the aura vanished as if a stone had sunk into the sea, creating only a ripple for a brief moment before disappearing completely.
Bai Hao frowned.
"There are more behind!"
Suddenly a voice rang out, and everyone turned around to see that black mist had appeared behind them at some point, flanking them from both sides. Even the sky was filled with black mist, completely blocking their escape route.
The situation suddenly became urgent. Xuan Tong made a quick decision and said, "Let's all join forces and try to disperse this black mist!"
The crowd nodded, no longer retreating, and unleashed their powerful forces, combining their strengths. Each sect joined forces, unleashing their strongest combined attack. Several pure energy beams, carrying a terrifying aura, instantly slammed into the spreading black mist.
With the combined strength of dozens of people, and Bai Hao unleashing his full power without reservation, the energy beam emitted by the Falling Sea Sect was the most powerful, surpassing that of the other sects combined.
Even Bai Hao's power couldn't create much of a ripple when it struck the black mist. The sounds of space shattering were drowned out by the black mist, as if there was an abyss inside that could absorb any power, no matter how strong.
"Why isn't it working?"
"What the hell is this?!"
Even with everyone's combined strength, they couldn't shake the strange black mist, which was closing in on them, and many people began to panic.
The unknown forces are the most terrifying.
They had never seen such power before. When they struck, there was no reaction at all. No matter how strong you were, it was useless if you couldn't hit the opponent.
Bai Hao felt the same way. This black mist was extremely strange. They couldn't hit it, but it put immense pressure on them. They could only watch helplessly as the black mist spread over.
“This black mist feels somewhat similar to the Qingyang from before. Perhaps these two weapons will be useful…” Staring intently at the black mist, Bai Hao could still sense a familiar aura within it, despite its strangeness. It was very similar to the Qingyang who was the master of Qianjing back then, and both of them were black mist.
Since Chikage and Chiba were obtained from them, they might also be able to help with the black mist.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao did not hesitate to take Qianjing in his left hand and Qianye in his right. He flashed in front of the black mist, and the two weapons in his hands gleamed with a sharp cold light as he slashed down.
This time, the black mist was as brittle as paper and was cut open by Bai Hao's weapon!
Seeing that there was a chance, Bai Hao immediately and quickly swung Qianjing and Qianye, cutting through the surrounding black mist and clearing out a safe area.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Tong and the others quickly moved forward to a safer area.
The black mist seemed to sense the power of Bai Hao's weapon. After a large section of the black mist was cut open, it slowly stopped advancing and began to retreat.
They were afraid.
"Looks like these things are still afraid." After the black mist completely dissipated, Bai Hao snorted and quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure it was safe.
Even the demonic beasts disappeared after the black mist dissipated, and the demon king's corpse was also gone, leaving only a few scattered trees around.
The threat seems to have disappeared.
"Elder Xuan, shall we continue?" Bai Hao asked Xuan Tong, who pondered for a moment before finally speaking.
"Now that the strongest of the three demon kings is dead, the remaining two should have gone to resist Emperor Chu's forces. If we go back now and attack from both sides, we can kill the remaining two demon kings, and this battle will end with our great victory."
Their goal was to end the battle, and after what had just happened, continuing deeper into the monster forest was clearly not a wise choice.
"good."
Bai Hao had no objections, and the group turned around to go back.
Just then, a huge halo suddenly appeared in the sky, and a black beam of light shone down, enveloping everyone. Even Bai Hao didn't have time to react.
"This is……"
The moment he realized what was happening, Bai Hao drew Qian Jing's sword from behind him without hesitation and slashed at the barrier beside him. But before his sword could strike, a great light shone, and everyone disappeared into the pillar of light.
Then the halo in the sky disappeared, as if it had never existed at all...
