Chapter 734: Chapter 474: Sound Spider’s Soul-Daunting Power, Even Spirits Flee! (Double-Length)

Under his gaze, a line appeared on his palm.

Then, his entire palm split open due to this line, tearing apart both flesh and bone.

Next, his thick arm split into two and fell off without any warning.

The searing pain, delayed in its arrival, conveyed to him that the situation before his eyes was not an illusion; he truly had half of his arm severed under his nose.

At this moment, the gray and deathly silent atmosphere returned to normal.

However, there was a faint pain in his forehead, preventing him from moving.

Before him, Song Changming stood in mid-air, expression calm, holding a saber with its blade pointed at the man’s forehead.

His icy gaze locked with the two enormous pupils before him.

Before he could react further, Song Changming’s Sword Qi pulsed, piercing a large hole, with a diameter of two to three meters, in the great ape’s head.

Blood gushed forth like a fountain, spraying from the back of the great ape’s head.

It must be admitted, the strength of this great ape was exceedingly strong, far surpassing Master Baitian of old, and even stronger than many Middle Realm Grandmasters!

Yet, under Song Changming’s full-on assault, with two blasts of the Silent Saber, the ape’s once Mountain God and Great Buddha-like body could not withstand.

The great ape fell crashing down again, flames around it flickering out rapidly, much like its quickly dissipating life force.

This time, the great ape also understood that it wouldn’t survive.

"Damn it, you... what kind of monster are you..." the great ape’s beast-like pupils lost all their luster.

In its final moments, it felt as if everything about it was being torn apart and devoured by the terrifying beast shadows emanating from Song Changming.

Standing on the great ape, Song Changming extracted the Great Demon Heart Core from its body, then swiftly began to extract its high-quality blood essence.

"The Silent Saber’s Mastery Realm now allows me to control the proportion of Sword Might to my own consumption freely..."

Song Changming reflected on the recent blasts of the Silent Saber, gaining some insight.

Now, as long as he wanted, he could reasonably manage his physical exertion, unlike before when one blast would drain him completely.

Moreover, martial arts at the Mastery level can wield greater power with less consumption.

This is one of the advantages brought about by an improvement in the martial arts realm.

Without this martial art, a clean, decisive two-slash kill of the ape demon would have been improbable.

This particular martial art is currently the strongest combat card in his hand!

Even enemies with overall greater strength can’t withstand the ’Silent Saber’s might!

Noticing the ape demon’s aura dissipating, now deceased, the deer and sheep demons on the mountain let out mournful cries, shaking the Spirit Mountain once more.

The Deer Demon’s cry, however, stopped midway.

By the time Song Changming returned to the mountaintop, the Deer Demon was already trapped with jet-black Demon Blood, its movements constrained by a gigantic hand formed by the Master’s Power of Prince Cui.

On the other side, the Sheep Demon had been beaten down, unable to raise its head by Li Xuan.

Then, bursts of Demon Qi exploded into the sky, and Song Changming watched as one Great Demon after another appeared.

Totaling thirteen, corresponding exactly to the number of Demon Kings gathered by the coalition army!

These Great Demons, seeing the miserable state of the deer and sheep brothers, immediately wanted to lend aid.

Seeing this, Song Changming moved to the mountaintop, his gaze turning exceptionally deep. Observing the oncoming Great Demons, the ferocious beast-like spider emblem at their throats was revealed.

The numerous spider eyes on the emblem were clear and eerie, as deep and mysterious as Song Changming’s own eyes.

Anyone gazing at this spider emblem for long would feel an overwhelming weakness, as if their heart and spirit were plunging into an endless abyss, unable to escape.

Prince Cui’s face turned harsh, holding the grievously wounded Deer Demon in one hand and wielding a sword in the other, with increasingly terrifying Sword Qi gathering on it.

His Spiritual Perception locked onto the oncoming thirteen Great Demons.

"Courting death!" Prince Cui spoke, his words laden with murderous intent.

Just as Prince Cui was about to strike again, a calm voice was heard first.

"Stop."

The voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached the ears of those thirteen Great Demons.

Within an instant, all thirteen Great Demons froze, as if bound by an immobilization spell, halting their charge, unable to move.

"What’s going on?!"

The thirteen Great Demons were shocked, not understanding how Song Changming had immobilized them in place.

Several Great Demons, with over two thousand years of Tao Practice, once caught off guard, were frozen for just a breath, before first breaking free of the invisible immobilization spell, staring at Song Changming with uncertainty.

Though they had escaped, their caution kept them from advancing rashly again.

After all, in the throes of battle, should Song Changming seize the moment to immobilize them again at a critical juncture, it would be fatal!

"My Sound Spider Witch Soldier Seal, painstakingly refined for so many years, turns out its effect on Great Demons is truly reliable, or else it would have seemed rather redundant in a battlefield of this caliber..." Song Changming thought to himself.

The notion was merely an impulsive whim, testing the Sound Spider Witch Soldier Seal when an opportunity arose.

Unexpectedly, it indeed managed to pin down all thirteen of these Great Demons at once!

Not just one Great Demon, but an entire thirteen of them!

Not to mention these Great Demons being startled, even Song Changming was somewhat surprised by how effective this Witch Soldier Seal turned out to be.

When the effects of the Witch Soldier Seal finally wore off, as Song Changming stepped forward, these Great Demons involuntarily took a step back.

Even before Song Changming opened his mouth to speak again, the Great Demons, hairs standing on end, retreated even further!

Seeing this, Song Changming couldn’t help but smile.

Putting the intimidation effect of the Sound Spider Witch Soldier Seal aside, it indeed had excellent deterrence, keeping Song Changming’s true strength shrouded in mystery.

Meanwhile, Prince Cui had already slain the Deer Demon.

The remaining Sheep Demon, attempting to escape from Li Xuan’s grip, found it too late. Blocked by Prince Cui, it was soon dispatched.

Thus, the three brothers—Lu, Yang, and Ape—leading the attack on the Fox Mountain coalition were completely vanquished.

This batch of Demons, including the Great Demons among them, suddenly harbored varied thoughts.

Gathered by the call to arms before even seeing a shadow of Fox Mountain, their ’Alliance Leader’ was already gone.

The already disunited morale now left no trace.

If Prince Cui and the others were easy to deal with, the remaining Great Demons would naturally avenge the Lu Yang Ape brothers, as well as enjoy the feast of Human Race Grandmaster flesh.

However, facing the formidable individuals like Prince Cui, none of the Great Demons could summon the will for revenge or hold on to thoughts of attacking Fox Mountain.

Ultimately, it was because the backbone of the coalition had collapsed.

"Withdraw, lads!" a Wild Boar King grunted twice, the first to sound retreat, leading his piglets to withdraw decisively.

"Retreat."

"Leave!"

The rest of the Great Demons lost interest in a hard fight and swiftly departed.

The ten of thousands of Demons at Spirit Mountain, at once, fled like a dark tide, even the sun-blocking black cloud of Demon Qi dissipated.

"A mere rabble, truly weak and fragile." Li Xuan saw this, snorting dismissively.

Prince Cui was not surprised.

Through years of battling the Demon Race, he had already concluded that if the three Great Demons Lu, Yang, and Ape were dealt with, the so-called Demon Coalition would naturally crumble without the need for further action.

Only, Song Changming’s use of the Sound Spider Witch Soldier Seal hastened this collapse.

Prince Cui welcomed the reprieve and had no intention of pursuing further.

Song Changming was somewhat regretful, viewing the escaped Great Demons as moving sources of Top Grade Demon Blood Essence.

If he could eliminate them one by one and extract their essence, it would be enormously beneficial for his Body Refinement practice.

Seeing Song Changming itching at the prospect, Prince Cui, recognizing his intent, warned against it: "This place is, after all, within the Yuanzhou Demon Realm; caution is the better part of valor."

Hearing this, Song Changming withdrew his intent to pursue further.

In any case, the three pieces of Top Grade Demon Blood Essence from the Lu Yang Ape, were enough for him to cultivate for a considerable time.

Not to mention, there were already three pieces from previous Great Demons sealed within his body.

Merely the blood essence from these Great Demons had already made this venture worthwhile for him.
