“Shadow Demon, Bone Demon…” Sheng Yuzhu’s beautiful eyes glanced over and immediately recognized the identities of these two demons. Although she had always been in seclusion to restore her fallen strength and had never participated in the war between the two worlds, this didn’t stop her from having the disciples of Rakshasa Sect collect information about the Demon Race. The Demon Race was known as one of the Hundred Races, but the only ones who truly had a reputation were those few races, each of which had their own distinctive characteristics and were extremely easy to identify.
“It’s a bit troublesome…” Being attacked from both sides by two Demon Race Half-Saints, Sheng Yuzhu frowned slightly, but unexpectedly, she didn’t panic.
A strange cackling sound rang out as the Bone Demon opened its mouth and let out a metallic sound, “Your luck is quite bad, we actually ran into you. Can you please die here?”
His tone was polite but his voice was bone-chilling.
Sheng Yuzhu grinned, “You’re so confident?”
Bone Demon said, “Two against one, why aren’t we confident?”
“Enough nonsense, let’s attack!” Shadow Demon Race had always been stingy with their words, just like how they were stingy with revealing themselves, after speaking, he transformed into a black light and rushed towards Sheng Yuzhu.
At the same time that Shadow Demon made his move, Sheng Yuzhu also moved, her delicate body displaying an unimaginable speed as she rushed towards the Shadow Demon. At the same time, she grasped her hands in the air and summoned two curved blades, which flashed with a cold light and exuded an ancient aura.
“En?” Shadow Demon exclaimed in surprise, seemingly not having expected this human woman to be so bold as to take the initiative to attack instead of fleeing.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. The other party was alone and always had many disadvantages.
A dagger appeared silently, and the Shadow Demon’s figure flashed a few times, the dagger flashing a cold light as it slashed towards the abdomen of Sheng Yuzhu.
It didn’t feel like it had hit anything at all, instead, the figure of Sheng Yuzhu was sliced apart. Shadow Demon’s expression froze for a moment before he quickly turned to Bone Demon and shouted, “Be careful!”
In the blink of an eye, Sheng Yuzhu suddenly appeared in front of Bone Demon and with a flash, she appeared behind him, the two blades in her hands forming a beautiful arc as she said in a cold voice, “When dealing with Senior, you should at least show some respect.” Although the Demon Race’s Half-Saint had lived for many years, she had lived longer and was qualified to call herself Senior.
Kacha…
A crisp sound rang out from the Bone Demon’s neck as its head fell to the ground. In its eye sockets, two balls of ghost flames violently pulsed as it opened its mouth, “What is this…”
He didn’t even see how Sheng Yuzhu had attacked before his head was chopped off.
Fortunately, he was a Bone Demon. If it were any other Demon Race here, they would have suffered a great loss.
With a fierce roar, Bone Demon’s headless body raised one hand to catch its falling head, and with a wave of its other hand, five white bone fingers shot out, transforming into five Bone Demons clad in armor and holding different Demon Artifacts. The Demonic Qi emanating from each of these Bone Demons far exceeded that of a High-Rank Demon King, and although they had not reached the Half-Saint Realm, the combined strength of the five Demon Kings was not to be underestimated.
“It really is difficult to kill.” Sheng Yuzhu turned around, allowing the five Bone Demon to surround her as she stared at the Bone Demon Half-Saint.
Bone Demon Half-Saint placed his head on his neck and turned it slightly to make sure there were no hidden dangers before shouting angrily, “I’ll make you pay!”
Although Sheng Yuzhu's attack didn’t cause any damage to him, it was still a shock to him. He had thought that he would be able to defeat her in a one-on-one fight, but who knew that this woman wasn’t someone to be trifled with, causing him to fly into a rage.
The five Bone Demons gathered around Sheng Yuzhu immediately moved, five powerful Demon Artifacts flashing with light as they shot towards Sheng Yuzhu.
With a loud bang, Sheng Yuzhu's figure shattered.
At the same time, a chill enveloped his body as a blade light slashed towards his eye.
Even though they no longer had flesh and blood bodies, Bone Demon’s body still felt cold, and his limbs went cold. Bone Demon’s greatest weakness was the Divine Soul Fire in its eye sockets. This race had no Demon Heart, but the Divine Soul Fire was their foundation. If their Divine Soul Fire was extinguished, they would immediately become a pile of broken bones. On the other hand, if their Divine Soul Fire was safe, they would become immortal.
Ding ding… A crisp sound rang out as a black shadow flashed across the sky, sending sparks flying. The Shadow Demon blocked Sheng Yuzhu's attack and coldly shouted, “Focus!”
“I know!” Bone Demon grit his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred, “I’ll skin her alive!”
“Then we’ll have to see if you have the ability to do so,” Sheng Yuzhu said indifferently, the two curved blades in her hands transforming into a storm of blade light that enveloped the Shadow Demon and Bone Demon.
…
On the other side of the marsh land, three figures are chasing one after another relentlessly. In front was a Demon Race Half-Saint, whose body was filled with a rotten smell, like a corpse that had been hibernating in the mud for countless years. It was the Corpse Demon Race Half-Saint.
The ones chasing him were two Human Race Pseudo Emperors, one of whom had some friendship with Yang Kai, the Commander of the Wu Yin Army, Fu Renjie.
Fu Renjie’s luck was quite good. Not long after entering this World Secret Realm, he met a companion. Both of them were Star Boundary’s Army Commanders and had some friendship with each other. After some discussion, they decided to work together to find the legendary Void Heavenly Cauldron.
Yang Kai didn’t hide the information he had obtained from Sheng Yuzhu, so all the Pseudo Emperors in the Star Boundary also knew that after entering the Profound Heaven Temple, finding the Void Heavenly Cauldron was the key to becoming a Great Emperor.
However, now that even Yang Kai and Sheng Yuzhu were confused about the Void Heavenly Cauldron, how could they possibly know anything?
Their harvests were quite good. There were many rare treasures in this marsh land, and the two of them had made a lot of profit. However, after entering the Profound Heaven Temple, if they didn’t become Great Emperors, everything would be for naught.
Just as he was searching, he suddenly sensed a Demon Race aura and immediately chased after it.
Facing the two Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperors alone, this Corpse Demon didn’t even hesitate and immediately turned around to flee. This pursuit lasted for an entire day, and during this time, they had attacked several times, but the Corpse Demon was always able to dodge.
“Long delays may lead to trouble, don’t hold back!” Fu Renjie suddenly shouted. After chasing for so long without being able to stop the other party, he was truly annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. The other party was determined to escape, so it wouldn’t be easy for them to stop him even if they wanted to. Seeing that no one could escape or capture, Fu Renjie prepared to use some kind of powerful Divine Ability.
A middle-aged man next to him nodded, “I’ll stop him!”
Amidst the crackling sounds, the middle-aged man’s body suddenly flashed with lightning as he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the fleeing Demon Race.
The Demon Race cultivator also noticed the danger behind him and turned around, spitting out a thick cloud of Corpse Qi.
Lightning pierced through the Corpse Qi and a muffled groan rang out.
The middle-aged man’s figure appeared a thousand meters behind Corpse Demon, an unnatural flush appearing on his face. Obviously, using that move just now had put quite a strain on him. If not for that, he would have taken action from the start and would not drag it until now.
However, there was always a price to pay. At this moment, a burnt mark appeared on the Corpse Demon’s shoulder, as if it had been struck by lightning.
The World Energy between the world churned violently as it surged towards Fu Renjie’s body. With a solemn expression, he quickly formed a series of hand seals as the power of Laws surrounded his body.
Thanks to Profound Heaven Temple’s World Secret Realm, the World Energy here was rich, allowing all the Human Race and Demon Race who entered this place to display their Divine Abilities to increase their strength significantly.
Following Fu Renjie’s actions, a fireball appeared in front of him. Although this fireball was only the size of a fist, it was as dazzling as the sun and exuded a terrifying heat that quickly evaporated the dirty water in the swamp.
It was easy to imagine that if one was hit by this fireball, even a Half-Saint Corpse Demon would not be able to escape unscathed.
However, in this place, Corpse Demon, who was being blocked from both sides, was clearly in a bad situation.
The middle-aged man in front of him frowned and instinctively felt something was wrong, “What are you laughing about?”
Corpse Demon’s laughter gradually grew louder, causing everyone’s eardrums to hurt, “Foolish humans, do you think this king is running away? No, this king is refining!”
“Refining?” The middle-aged man frowned, not understanding what he meant.
Corpse Demon took a deep breath, a look of joy appearing on his face, “The Profound Heaven Temple, the Star Boundary's World Secret Realm, it really is a good place. You only see the many treasures here, but in my eyes, there are other treasures here…”
“Not good, hurry up and attack!” The middle-aged man saw Corpse Demon’s crazed expression and although he didn’t know what kind of trick he was playing, he knew that he couldn’t delay any longer. While urging Fu Renjie, the middle-aged man once again transformed into a bolt of lightning and slashed towards Corpse Demon.
“Come out, my little cubs!”
Complicated patterns flashed across Corpse Demon’s palms as a dazzling pattern appeared and he pressed down.
Whoosh.. whoosh.. whoosh.. whoosh.. From the marsh land, a number of figures emerged one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred of them appeared. Among these figures, one rushed towards the lightning bolt while the other rushed towards Fu Renjie, who was in the midst of casting a spell.
Boom... a series of colliding sounds rang out as the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor’s figure appeared once more, his face ashen.
Fu Renjie’s killing move had also been launched, but before it could reach the Corpse Demon, it was blocked by the approaching figure. Flames burst out and half of the figure was directly shattered.
The Divine Ability that he had expended a great deal of effort and energy to execute was indeed extraordinary.
However, if he didn’t hit the Corpse Demon, everything would be useless.
On the other hand, Fu Renjie’s breathing became somewhat uneven after using this Secret Technique.
“Refining Corpse!” The middle-aged man grit his teeth and shouted, his expression changing slightly.
