Chapter 49 Slaying Demons

Chapter 49 Slaying Demons

Seeing the Horned Demon pounce,

Li Tian and Zhang Yuhe both knew that the most critical moment had arrived.

However, neither of them had any thought of retreating.

Zhang Yuhe still incessantly drew upon thunder and lightning to attack.

At the same time, he controlled the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation to shrink its range, so that the formless Sword Qi would become denser and its lethality even more fierce.

The Horned Demon charged forward rapidly all the way, dense formless Sword Qi incessantly cutting into his body.

But he still ignored it completely, looking as though he would not stop until he beat Zhang Yuhe and the other to death.

Suddenly, Li Tian rose to his full height, waving his fists and fiercely pouncing toward the rushing Horned Demon.

Facing the Refining Void Realm Horned Demon, even though he himself was heavily injured, Li Tian showed no fear at all.

Because he knew that although the Horned Demon looked fierce, he was actually at the end of his tether.

Not only was the Horned Demon missing a right arm, but his body had also been carved with countless bloody scars by the formless Sword Qi.

Some of these bloody scars were deep enough to see the bones.

Thunder and lightning struck the Horned Demon's body, and there were even faint wisps of roasted meat fragrance floating out.

No matter how powerful the Horned Demon's Physical Body was, facing such heavy injuries, he certainly couldn't hold on for long.

As long as he could hold back the Horned Demon for even just a little while longer,

then the two Formations controlled by Zhang Yuhe would completely have the chance to beat the Horned Demon into ashes.

Rumble…

Two huge fist shadows quickly collided together, instantly emitting a scorching light.

The aftermath of their collision even spread outside of Mirror Void City.

The Demon Race members near the altar who had just come through the passageway were instantly ground into ashes by the aftermath.

Li Tian spat out blood again and flew backwards, while the Horned Demon stood in place without moving.

That fierce collision just now clearly showed the Horned Demon had the upper hand.

No matter how heavy his injuries were, after all, he was in the Refining Void Realm; Li Tian couldn't gain any advantage in his hands whatsoever.

However, Li Tian's action still had a very obvious effect.

Because the Horned Demon's fierce charging momentum had been interrupted by him.

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Yuhe pulled out a talisman paper, pinching it between two fingers and waving it toward the Horned Demon.

"Go."

The talisman paper instantly burned up and disappeared.

Around the Horned Demon, countless vines rose out of thin air, firmly trapping the Horned Demon.

Tier 6 talisman paper, Yi Wood Prison Trapping Talisman.

This kind of talisman paper had only one function, which was to temporarily restrict the target.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Horned Demon was trapped, Zhang Yuhe pinched hand incantations, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation quickly shrank its range.

The entire sword Formation was compressed within a ten-zhang radius around the Horned Demon.

The dense formless Sword Qi, like a violent ocean, fiercely swept horizontally toward the Horned Demon.

"Ah…"

The Horned Demon swung his fists, shattering the vines that trapped him with a single punch.

However, he swung his fist again, striking the outer sword Formation with a punch.

Rumble…

The black fist shadow instantly landed on the sword Formation's light barrier, stirring up a violent vibration in the light barrier.

After a short while, it recovered as before.

The Horned Demon's full-strength punch did not pierce through the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuhe's tensed nerves finally relaxed.

He stared at the Horned Demon in the sword Formation and said fiercely,

"You're dead."

The Horned Demon was completely encircled by the sword Formation, and heavily injured; his strength was long incomparable to before.

Now that the Horned Demon couldn't even break open the sword Formation with a full-strength strike, he could only await death.

Zhang Yuhe continually pinched hand incantations, the sword shadows becoming denser and denser, and massive amounts of formless Sword Qi rapidly sliced into the Horned Demon's body.

Even so, the Horned Demon was still struggling on the verge of death; he was unwilling to die just like that.

No one was willing to die, and the Horned Demon was the same.

The Horned Demon continuously swung his fists, incessantly bombarding the light barrier of the sword Formation.

However, no matter how the Horned Demon struggled, the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation remained unshaken.

As his injuries became heavier and heavier, the Horned Demon's fists also grew increasingly weak.

"Ah…"

Suddenly, the dense formless Sword Qi sliced open the Horned Demon's tough physique.

The Horned Demon only had time to let out a miserable scream, followed closely by being sliced into ashes by the dense Sword Qi.

Only a pair of peculiar black horns were left at the scene.

Seeing the Horned Demon die, Zhang Yuhe let out a long sigh of relief.

Today was really a bit frightening.

How could he have known that in this Mirror Void City, there would actually be a Refining Void Realm Horned Demon.

Originally, he still thought that the one with the highest cultivation among the opponents was Consort Mingyue of the Wind Whisper Pavilion.

He completely didn't expect that the Demon Race member on the altar was actually a super big BOSS.

It almost went sideways.

Come to think of it, it was strange that Lu Mingfang was unreliable.

Clearly he had already reported the situation of Mirror Void accurately, yet Lu Mingfang didn't arrange any stronger reinforcements to come over.

Although Li Tian's strength was not bad either, facing the Refining Void Realm Horned Demon, he was completely not enough to look at.

Zhang Yuhe didn't have experience in this aspect and didn't know what kind of hidden power the opponent would have.

But the Dao Saint Sect certainly wasn't experiencing a similar situation for the first time.

Presumably they should have experience.

Too unreliable, it almost got him killed.

Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was indeed powerful; otherwise, he and Li Tian would really have kicked the bucket.

Zhang Yuhe waved his hand, putting away the two long horns on the ground.

Although he didn't know what use these two long horns actually had.

But clearly, these were good things.

The Horned Demon's entire person had turned into ashes, yet these two long horns were actually safe and sound.

Not to mention anything else, the hardness of these two long horns alone was not something ordinary Materials could compare to.

Saving them for Artifact Refining in the future should yield good results.

Putting away the long horns, Zhang Yuhe pinched hand incantations, and the nine Flying Swords quickly fell toward the outer perimeter of Mirror Void City.

Although the Horned Demon was dead, the passageway had not closed.

At this time, a large number of Demon Race members were still pouring over toward this side from the passageway.

The Flying Swords fell, the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation rose once again, and boundless Sword Qi rapidly swept across Mirror Void City.

The Sword Qi was like cutting wheat, rapidly chopping up those Demon Race members who had just come through the passageway.

The highest cultivation among these Demon Race members was merely the Nascent Soul Realm, not nearly as mighty as the Horned Demon.

Any casual sweep of formless Sword Qi could slice down a large area.

However, these Demon Race members were also strange.

Even though coming over was just courting death, they still incessantly poured in toward this side from the passageway.

As if there were dogs chasing them over in the Demon Realm, and money to be picked up here in Yu Fantian.

Even if they came over to court death, these Demon Race members still showed no fear at all.

"The Demon Race is truly terrifying."

Seeing the reckless and fearless appearance of these Demon Race members, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing someone who didn't want their life, who wouldn't be afraid?

Let alone that this was an entire race.

An entire race not afraid of death—what a terrifying thing this was!

After a short while, Li Tian dragged his weak Physical Body back.

Zhang Yuhe asked with concern,

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm okay."

Li Tian replied in a weak voice, no longer displaying his previous arrogant and proud appearance.

Truly, he couldn't afford to be proud anymore.

Li Tian glanced around, not seeing any trace of the Horned Demon, and asked excitedly,

"Junior Brother Zhang, is that Horned Demon dead?"

"Yeah, dead as can be."

Zhang Yuhe replied with a smile, his expression showing a hint of excitement.

How could he not be happy?

This was his first true battle in the literal sense, and he had beaten a Refining Void Realm Demon Race member to death.

Making a move for the first time and killing an enemy across a major Realm was definitely something worth being proud of.
