Chapter 186: The Demon Race Retreats

As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, the original wild wind turned into a storm that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

Ye Lin knew that after this sword strike, it would consume a vast amount of his stamina, so he had not used it until now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold off this Void Refinement Stage expert of the Demon Race for long.

But the Void Refinement Stage Cultivator from their side had already arrived.

That meant there was no problem; in any case, he still had a backup plan, so even if something unexpected happened, he could still escape.

He had never used this move before; previously, at most, he only needed to use Sword Convergence to resolve his enemies.

No one had been able to last long enough for him to use this final move.

Now this opportunity had appeared. Although he could not defeat this Void Refinement Stage Demon Ancestor, simply disgusting him was enough. "This time, no matter what, you will be stripped of a layer of skin by me."

In an instant, a boundless storm accompanied by sky-burning flames erupted; fanned by the storm, the flames dyed the entire area.

When it came down to it, he still had some trump cards he hadn't used.

That was his other type of Sword Intent, as well as another move that Qingling had taught him—the same one he used when helping Han Ting—and now that move had even greater power.

He could not reveal all his trump cards in the first battle; he still needed to keep something in reserve.

For now, he only needed to display this one type of Sword Intent.

Gu Tianmo looked at this strike, and suddenly a massive pressure appeared.

He knew that this strike from Ye Lin was no small matter, being several times more powerful than the previous ones.

On the other side, where they were still fighting the Demon Race, even though they were already accustomed to the frequent strange phenomena from that direction, they still felt shocked when they glanced over.

At this moment, the storm was continuously gathering, spreading outwards with Ye Lin at its center.

Although this aura was not aimed at Zheng Wen, he could still feel the immense pressure.

Ye Lin's attack had long since exceeded the limits of the Soul Transformation Stage.

It was simply not power that could be unleashed by someone at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Ye Lin gripped the Azure Cloud Sword and looked at Gu Tianmo.

Without any excessive movements, he waited for the Azure Cloud Sword to absorb all the strange phenomena.

At this moment, it became calm again, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Ye Lin looked ahead.

"It's coming!"

A supreme sword move formed by the convergence of boundless Sword Intent.

It slashed towards Gu Tianmo like thunder capable of destroying the world; at this moment, the sword move had already locked onto him.

At this moment, he actually felt threatened.

This was the thing he could least tolerate; he had actually felt threatened by a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.

This was simply the greatest humiliation of his life.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Annihilation Palm!"

Gu Tianmo erupted with an incomparable palm intent. Although he had not stepped into the realm of Concept, his many years of accumulation and understanding of Cultivation Techniques were nothing to scoff at.

The two attacks, just like the last time, remained deadlocked in the air.

But this time, the result was different.

It didn't take long for Gu Tianmo's Annihilation Palm to be slashed apart by Ye Lin's Sword Qi.

And Ye Lin's Sword Qi showed no signs of weakening as it attacked towards Gu Tianmo.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Wen wanted to stand up and cheer; it was simply too inspiring and too exciting to watch.

Gu Tianmo looked at the incoming Sword Qi. "Not good, the power actually exceeds my imagination!"

This Ye Lin was too big of a threat. If he were allowed to reach the Void Refinement Stage, then their hopes of conquering the Southern Region would basically be slim to none.

But he had no way to deal with this Ye Lin right now; he could feel that a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator of the Human Race was about to arrive.

If he waited for that Void Refinement Stage expert to arrive, then they would be in trouble.

He no longer had much energy left to deal with that Void Refinement Stage Human Race expert.

Fighting the Incarnation and then Ye Lin had already consumed a lot of his energy.

If he were to fight another Void Refinement Stage entity of unknown strength, he might be left behind here.

At this moment, the thought of retreating arose in him.

But he had to block this attack before him first.

Looking at the incoming Sword Qi, he could no longer hold anything back.

The aura of the Void Refinement Stage poured out completely.

At this moment, his eyes had clearly turned a blood-red color.

That long hair floated in the air with his aura, and his entire body was wrapped in black aura.

"Since one palm isn't enough, then I'll use another!"

The two collided on the scene, producing a violent vibration, and a blinding light flashed.

After the light faded, a huge gash had been cut into Gu Tianmo's body by Ye Lin.

Behind him, the sky seemed to have been slashed in two, and a sword mark that stretched for an unknown distance had appeared on the ground, boundless and endless.

Gu Tianmo was standing right in the middle where the two met.

His clothes were tattered and torn.

But this attack could not deal a fatal blow to Gu Tianmo.

But for him to be able to do this much now was already enough.

Ye Lin had also expended a massive amount of stamina, and his spiritual power was nearly exhausted.

But he could still move for a while.

Looking at the wound on Gu Tianmo, his goal had been achieved.

Gu Tianmo's expression was extremely ugly; he had actually sustained a not-insignificant injury, and it was inflicted by a Human Race Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage.

But he was not blinded by rage at this moment; he had already felt that the Human Race's Void Refinement Stage expert was about to arrive.

If he didn't retreat now, it would be too late.

In his current state, it was basically impossible for him to go and fight that Void Refinement Stage expert.

He could only retreat for now.

Gu Tianmo did not hesitate at all and flew off into the distance.

Ye Lin saw this scene but did not have the energy to pursue.

He also considered that even a dog would jump over a wall if cornered.

If he forcibly went up to hold him back, given his current condition, something might go wrong.

Therefore, watching Gu Tianmo leave was the best choice right now.

Zheng Wen saw that Gu Tianmo had left; the battle had finally come to an end.

Gu Tianmo arrived beside Jiang Cheng and the other person, looked at the two-on-one battle below, and said nothing.

Although the two of them had the upper hand, it was of no use.

"You two retreat first; the Void Refinement Stage expert from the Human Race is about to arrive. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

At this moment, the three people below were not in good condition.

Both had consumed a massive amount of stamina and spiritual power, and they had not been able to take down this Innate Sword Body in a short time.

Jiang Cheng saw the wound on the Old Ancestor's body and felt that Ye Lin's aura had not disappeared.

He no longer hesitated, turned his head to Jing Huan, and said, "Let's retreat first."

But Jing Huan was still somewhat unwilling to leave; however, under the current circumstances, he could only leave first.

The three immediately retreated from this place.

They headed towards their Demon Race army.
