"I hope you two venerable ancestors have been well."
Chu Hongluan even had the leisure to greet them.
"How have you been?"
The old patriarch of the Sword Sect smiled so hard his eyes narrowed into slits. "Elder Chu has really played a grand game, fooling us old folks."
"Alas, it's all due to the circumstances."
Seeing that these people were still chatting and didn't take him seriously at all, Mo Yu's face darkened even more.
"Chu Hongluan! What is your purpose in going to such lengths to gain my trust?!"
"What could their purpose be? They just want to wipe you all out in one fell swoop."
Chu Hongluan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, at this hour, don't you feel anything wrong with your body? Look at your demon soldiers, they don't seem to be in good shape."
While telling him to pay attention to the situation below, Chu Hongluan's knife left him no room to be distracted.
Mo Yu instinctively raised his sword to block, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his spiritual palace. The spiritual power being used in his meridians suddenly stagnated for a moment.
In that instant, with a clang, the blade clashed with the sword!
The sword snapped! Meanwhile, the longsword, whipping up a powerful gust of wind, hurtled straight at Mo Yu's face!
Mo Yu quickly gathered his energy and retreated, but only halfway back did the excruciating pain in his spiritual palace intensify once again!
"What did you do!"
"It was just something I added to the drinks at your victory celebration."
"A hundred million" is just a tiny bit, just some sun crystal powder.
"Impossible! A body possessed and assimilated by a demon is immune to all poisons! Besides, you clearly drank that wine too!"
"Ah, I did drink alcohol." Chu Hongluan readily admitted, startling both elders who stared at her with wide eyes, their faces full of unease.
Chu Hongluan waved her hand dismissively and laughed:
"Don't worry, that thing only reacts to demons."
Mo Yu finally had a chance to check on the demon army's situation, only to discover that in just half a cup of tea's time, the army had already lost nearly a third of its strength! But the demons all possessed the ability to transform into mist, so it was impossible for them to suffer such casualties!
Looking at the remaining demonic soldiers, they were clearly starting to struggle.
There is no doubt that there is a problem with the spiritual energy.
Chu Hongluan really didn't lie to him.
Mo Yu suddenly turned his head, his gaze towards Chu Hongluan filled with resentment and venom. He staggered two steps and drew his sword again: "Why do you have to pick a fight with me!"
Sword light clashed, eighteen sword strikes in a row!
"In what way am I inferior to Liu Jinghong?!"
That overwhelming sword intent, like a roaring dragon, lunged at Chu Hongluan with bared fangs and claws!
"When you were by my side! In terms of power and status! Did I ever mistreat you in the slightest!"
The ultimate killing move of a Mahayana master at the peak.
Even Chu Hongluan could not escape unscathed.
Its immense power caused the earth to shake.
"Junior Sister!"
Startled, Liu Jinghong glanced over and his heart nearly stopped. Without hesitation, he activated the Qian hexagram, wanting to teleport there instantly! He wanted to pull her into his arms!
However, the full-force attack of a peak Mahayana cultivator had already distorted the magnetic field of the entire space!
The hexagram Qian (乾) is no longer valid.
He watched helplessly as the roaring dragon hurtled straight toward Chu Hongluan's face!
In the instant she was about to be engulfed by the sword light—
The knife in her hand disappeared.
The fiery red armor clasped open from her chest, fitting snugly against her slender waist, its exquisite and perfect lines quickly enveloping her.
They withstood the blow!
At the same time, Chu Hongluan's cultivation also climbed to the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm!
She merged with Eri.
The scabbard that the Taoist priest in green made for her transformed into armor.
For the first time, that bloodthirsty aura spread out so unchecked! It surged and churned, almost staining half the sky red!
Everyone stared blankly at the scene, unable to distinguish between the Demon Lord and Chu Hongluan, and who was the real demon.
"Hahahaha! Chu Hongluan! Is this your true face! You've revealed Eri's true form. Even if you save them, will they thank you? Those who swore an oath for you at the top of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave are probably regretting it to the core!"
Mo Yu laughed wildly, seemingly quite pleased that Chu Hongluan had fallen to the same state as him.
"They'll only see you as a terrible threat! They'd love to get rid of you as soon as possible! Don't you understand? The righteous path won't tolerate you! Only by my side is your final refuge!"
"Stop being so arrogant!"
An angry voice shouted from below!
"From beginning to end! Only you are like this! A person with a dirty heart! You see everyone as filthy! You are Mo Yu, aren't you? I recognize your sword intent!"
"Narrow-minded! Unscrupulous! Shameless!"
"Look at the state you've become! If we had believed you back then, we would be truly filled with regret!"
They spoke one after another, each word filled with righteous indignation.
"If everyone were like you, how would they be any different from demons! If the righteous path were truly as you claim, incapable of distinguishing right from wrong and ungrateful, it would be better to annihilate them all today! Such a righteous path has no reason to exist!"
"If the righteous path is without its principles, I, Xu Zhiyang, would rather die fighting against the demons to protect the purity of my Dao heart!"
"I would rather die fighting against demons! To safeguard the purity and righteousness of my Daoist heart!"
"I would rather die fighting against demons! To safeguard the purity and righteousness of my Daoist heart!"
Chu Hongluan smiled and looked at Mo Yu: "Look, this is why I want to save this world."
Chu Hongluan no longer wanted to waste words with him. With a flick of her wrist, the two bottles of spiritual dew given to her by Phoenix appeared in her palm.
He raised his hand and poured it all down his throat.
As a result, her cultivation level rose again.
Later Mahayana period.
The pinnacle of Mahayana Buddhism.
Mahayana perfection.
