Chapter 686 - 318: One Against Five, Part 3
Under the shared burden of the five, they took the sword head-on, yet only suffered some superficial wounds.
Even such a decisive strike couldn’t harm them, so the outcome of this battle was naturally determined. The only suspense was when Chu Xiu would flee and whether everyone could slay the fleeing Chu Xiu.
Thinking of this, the five Horned Demons exchanged glances and prepared to give Chu Xiu no chance to retreat, continuing their attack to entangle him.
When Chu Xiu goes all out, they resist together; if he doesn’t, they block his retreat. Sooner or later, they’ll wear Chu Xiu out!
With the plan set, the two Eighth Ring Horned Demons took the lead and charged again at Chu Xiu. But just as the remaining three Horned Demons prepared to follow, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines, a sense of extreme danger rising in their hearts!
The three turned sharply, only to see a tall figure suddenly and silently appear behind them!
When the three saw the long horn with Nine Rings engraved on its head, they were stunned on the spot!
Is this... a Demigod of the clan?
But its aura... doesn’t seem right!
While the three were bewildered, the figure gave them no time to react, closing the distance with lightning speed, seizing the moment of their shock!
The figure moved with unbelievable speed, and the three Horned Demons only saw a blur before the central Horned Demon found its throat seized!
The next instant, with a "crack," the Horned Demon was effortlessly choked to death!
Afterward, an even more horrifying event occurred. That eerie figure, after snapping its neck, directly ripped off the Heroic Spirit Horned Demon’s head and began devouring it!
Faced with this terrifying scene, the remaining two Horned Demons finally reacted! Fear shone in their eyes, and instinctively they wanted to flee, but the control from the Outer Realm Demon forcibly turned this fear into killing intent.
They realized one thing: whatever this ghostly entity was, it couldn’t be a Demigod of their clan!
And as long as it’s not of their kind, only one thing remains.
Kill!
With a fierce shout, the two swung their weapons at the ominous figure!
They felt that their companion was killed so quickly only because of the shock that caught them off guard; the two of them together still had a fighting chance!
But the next moment, the scene that unfolded made their scalps tingle!
Their Heroic Spirit weapons struck the eerie figure, producing the sound of metal clashing against metal. They felt as if they were cutting not flesh but an indestructible meteorite!
Though the blades were embedded, they were stuck on the bone; these were Heroic Spirit weapons, yet they were blocked by mere flesh?!
Even more terrifying was that despite being attacked, the figure remained unconcerned, continuing to open its mouth and devour the Horned Demon corpse. With chilling "crack" sounds, it bit and swallowed it alive in less than half a second!
Under the terrified eyes of the two remaining Horned Demons, an intense energy erupted from the eerie figure that had devoured its comrade!
The next instant, a massive ring of fire swept outward from its body in all directions!
The two Horned Demons were stunned, hastily defending, but quickly realized that although the fire ring looked terrifying, its temperature seemed not that high, merely a facade.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly froze, their eyes filled with a fear far more intense than before!
From the eerie figure as the center, within a kilometer radius, everything was dyed a bizarre scarlet red, and the air temperature soared, as if...
As if a purgatory-like bloody and scorching domain had formed in the air!
