Almost all the disciples of the Demon Extermination Sect were fleeing backwards, but Bu Yu hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth, turning around, and standing beside Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke glared sharply at Bu Yu and said sternly, "Why don't you run away!"
Bu Yu said with a wry smile, "It's not right to leave Miss here alone. I'm a man, after all, and I'm not willing to let a woman stay behind."
Zhou didn't want to say more.
The demons before him were countless times more powerful than he had imagined. His choice to stay was essentially a path to certain death. But for the greater good, as long as the elite disciples of the Demon-Slaying Sect returned safely, the sect would still have a future. If everyone perished here, the Demon-Slaying Sect would likely be wiped out of Cangzhou!
Therefore, she had to stall for time, even if it was ten moves, or even five.
All the disciples must leave!
"Demon, let me do it..."
Before Zhou Ke could finish speaking, ten black streaks of light flashed past her like lightning. Each streak of light coiled behind her like a venomous snake. In less than a second, countless wails suddenly echoed throughout the entire Forest of No Return!
Even if someone tried to enter the Forest of No Return and use the trees to their advantage to escape, the black demonic energy seemed to be able to smell their scent. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the dense forest and tore at their thighs. Then their bodies gradually stiffened and finally turned into charred remains.
One second later.
There were no more cries of agony behind Zhou Ke, nor any sound of anyone running away. Apart from the sound of the wind rustling the leaves, there was only desolation all around.
Zhou Ke's pupils trembled.
She had never been afraid of anything, but when she realized that all the elite disciples of the Demon Extermination Sect she had brought with her had been killed, her heart wavered for the first time.
Spiritual practice emphasizes calming the mind.
But this time, she just couldn't calm down!
"Aaaaaa!!!!"
Zhou Ke roared hysterically, her true energy surging wildly around her, and a hurricane-like pressure emanating from her body! Bu Yu, who was beside her, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"This is……"
Bu Yu was secretly alarmed.
He was also at the peak of the Opening Realm, but when it came to his ultimate strength, he probably couldn't unleash such a powerful aura.
As expected of the successor to the next sect leader of the Demon Extermination Sect, but... do they really have a chance to fight back against this demon? After all, even the two deputy sect leaders were instantly killed!
now.
Li Zhong looked down at Zhou Ke and the other person, his face still expressionless: "Hmph, the Demon-Slaying Sword, it seems the Demon-Slaying Sect has put a lot of effort into you. I originally didn't want to get entangled with you, but since you've made your choice, you'd better be prepared."
"With your courage, you are qualified to fight me."
Zhou Ke's face was contorted with rage as he gripped the sword tightly with both hands and roared, "Come on!! Even if I die today, I'll peel off a layer of your skin!!"
After saying that, Zhou Ke squatted down slightly, and then suddenly soared into the air. The sword in her hand was filled with endless true energy, and it bloomed with a white color like snowflakes. In the dark night, an ice flower bloomed in the sky!
However, this scene was like a child's trick to Li Zhong.
Li Zhong slowly raised his hand, his gaze coldly fixed on Zhou Ke who was approaching. The moment he held his hand flat, countless demonic energies surged from all around him, forming a ghostly shape behind him and devouring Zhou Ke's ice flower!
Zhou Ke's fighting spirit remained undiminished, and his hands, gripping the sword, quietly formed a hand seal.
Suddenly!
Four stone pillars suddenly erupted from beneath Li Zhong's feet, their force creating a deafening roar! These four pillars, like four dragons, crashed into Li Zhong, who was suspended in mid-air, with a violent explosion!
On the other hand, Li Zhong seemed somewhat surprised, but he only glanced at the four stone pillars that appeared below in an instant.
Soon, the stone pillar crashed into Li Zhong, and even the ghostly phantom behind Li Zhong, conjured by demonic energy, vanished into nothingness at that moment.
Great opportunity!
Zhou Ke pressed forward, the ice flowers on his sword growing larger and larger until they finally adorned the stone pillar, instantly triggering a massive explosion! Countless fragments of rocks and ice shards scattered everywhere!
At the same time, even Zhou Ke was thrown away by the violent explosion, and it took all her strength to land in mid-air.
Even so, Zhou Ke felt that the true energy in her body had been completely drained away.
She looked up at the broken stone pillars, and the scene was once spectacular.
"Is he dead?" Zhou Ke wondered to himself.
But just as this thought arose in her mind, a black ribbon instantly appeared from the still-present phantom on the stone pillar!
It’s over!
Zhou Ke's heart sank. At that speed, she had no chance of dodging!
Is that demon a monster?
Even if she tried her best, it would all be in vain.
"Young Miss!"
Suddenly, a voice came from her side. In an instant, she could only feel a force pushing her away. The black ribbon brushed past her and finally landed on the person who had pushed her away.
Bu Yu!
Besides her, the only other person who is still alive here is Bu Yu!
Zhou Ke fell to the ground. She hurriedly propped herself up and turned her head to look. All she could see was Bu Yu's terrified expression frozen there. Then, the arm where he had been hit began to turn grayish-black, eventually becoming like the previous person.
It turned into a pile of charred remains.
"No!!"
Zhou Ke sat on the ground, and perhaps only at this moment did she cry like a little girl.
