Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 548 - 525: Battle in the Spotlight (Part 1)

Chapter 548: Chapter 525: Battle in the Spotlight (Part 1)

The demon territories were as silent as death at this moment.

The Sword Serpent Demon is a high-tier Demon General, highly skilled in battle, and few at the same cultivation level can claim they can surely win.

Though the Mouse Demon is slightly inferior in cultivation, it has mid-tier peak Demon General cultivation and formidable defense, yet even it couldn’t withstand a single move from the Li Family’s prodigy!

The limits of Li Family’s prodigy remain evidently untested; no one truly knows the depth of his power.

Among the gathered Demon Generals on the field.

There is the Cold Cicada Demon, small in stature but surrounded by dense white mist; a colossal Rhino Demon covered in black Bone Spikes, towering seventy to eighty feet tall;

And the Iron Camel Demon, its body appears forged from black Profound Iron, emitting a metallic sheen… But as they exchange glances, none are willing to face Zhang Xinye.

The demon clan’s cultivation is incredibly difficult, with many transforming from wild beasts in the mountains, and reaching the Demon General level can take hundreds of years, making them particularly cherish their lives.

Among the crowd of Demon Generals, the hundred-foot-tall Green Sheep Demon stood like a mountain.

Covered in white fur like snowflakes, with a pair of translucent, spiraling cyan horns pointing towards the heavens.

Its scarlet eyes glinted like two dazzling suns.

Its icy gaze forced the other demon generals to confront Zhang Xinye.

Inimical to the Green Sheep Demon’s oppression, the high-tier Demon General Rhino Demon charged onto the battlefield.

Its formidable black Bone Spikes shot out chaotically, almost tearing through the void.

Yet Zhang Xinye traversed the field like an apparition, the Bone Spikes unable to even brush his garment.

He continued to wield the Sword Pill, transforming it into a massive silver sword, slashing straight at the Rhino Demon.

The Rhino Demon controlled the Bone Spikes to collide with the giant sword, sparking large volumes of fire and electricity in the void, but all were crushed by the giant sword.

The giant sword then continued unabated across its body, ultimately taking down the Rhino Demon effortlessly.

The Rhino Demon, equally a high-tier Demon General, only managed to withstand a few more moves from Zhang Xinye but couldn’t change its fate of demise.

“Magnificent!”

“Indeed, worthy of ’One Sword Immortal,’ slaying demons like slicing melons and cutting vegetables!”

“Why not take down the Green Sheep Demon in one go!”

The human race erupted in cheers, while the momentum of the demon clan grew increasingly subdued.

The momentum between the two sides shifted swiftly in attack and defense.

“Zhang Xinye, I am your opponent!”

At this moment, a fiery red figure rapidly approached from afar, like a massive flame engulfing the sky in red.

The newcomer was a colossal Two-Headed Lion Demon, a hundred feet long, entirely fire-red as if burning.

As it surged forward, white steam swirled around it, causing the ground to tremble, mountains to sway, its majesty overwhelming, as if all creatures in the world should bow at its feet.

The most striking feature was its two heads, one large, one small, looking extremely ferocious.

Its mouth opened and closed, revealing a row of sharp teeth comparable to stone pillars, with copious amounts of yellow saliva dripping and corroding the ground into numerous pits.

This was none other than the formidable Two-Headed Lion Demon among the demon clan.

In the demon clan’s ranks, it holds power only second to the Green Sheep Demon, responsible for countless human Foundation Establishment fatalities under its claws.

Confronted by the aggressive Two-Headed Lion Demon, Zhang Xinye’s expression remained unchanged.

“You weren’t my opponent before…”

“You humans have a saying, ’A scholar who has been away for three days must be viewed with new eyes.’ ” The Two-Headed Lion Demon coldly replied, “Today I will use your head to wash away the disgrace of the royal bloodline.”

It turned out, the two had clashed over a year ago.

During that encounter, the Two-Headed Lion Demon was no match for Zhang Xinye, nearly losing one of its heads.

Having spoken, the Two-Headed Lion Demon’s fiery red fur began to dance wildly, the sound of rushing water like rivers emanated from its body.

Its aura started to elevate step by step, instantly reaching an extremely terrifying level.

“Roar!”

It seemed like a magnificent, vast, imposing roar emanated from within.

Changing the faces of everyone present, they felt suppressed deep within their souls.

“What is this thing?”

“Could it be that the demon’s ancestral bloodline has awakened?

It’s said that reaching this point, and spending significant time refining it, there would be a not insignificant chance to rise to the Realm of Bloodline Perfection!”

“Hiss… Bloodline Perfection, that’s the seed of a Great Demon!”

“Ancient demon clans were born for war, these Two-Headed Lion Demons had a head severed by Red Hero, and nearly another by Zhang Xinye.

Surviving trials and hardships, now is the time for transformation and reaping the rewards!”

The numerous cultivators exclaimed in shock, sensing the unfathomable power of the two Lion Demons.

Zhang Xinye’s expression turned serious for the first time.

’Whoosh!’

With a wave of his hand, the sword pill hovering in the air swiftly flew towards the two Lion Demons.

And midway, it transformed into a dazzling silver giant sword!

However, faced with this attack that had previously felled several demons of the same rank, the two Lion Demons showed no fear on their faces.

One of them extended a colossal red-black steel claw, as high as a ten-story building, and slammed it fiercely at the giant sword.

The claw was enveloped by a dense sphere of demonic power red light, looking as if it was holding up a red sun.

The red sun and the silver giant sword clashed fiercely, erupting in an extreme brilliance of interwoven red and silver light, filling the void as far as the eye could see, rendering the entire world silent.

Almost all humans and demons found their vision filled with the red and silver glow, and their ears buzzed, unable to hear anything.

After the light dissipated.

The demon clan’s camp erupted in earth-shaking roars, while the hearts of all the humans sank abruptly to the bottom.

It turned out that the massive claws of the two Lion Demons remained unharmed, with no visible scars.

Yet the silver giant sword had been smashed into two segments by the massive claw.

With a ’bang’ sound, it reverted to the form of a sword pill, but it was visibly covered with numerous cracks.

’Pfft!’

Zhang Xinye’s complexion turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His previously wooden gaze was now filled with disbelief.

“Die!”

The two Lion Demons pounced at Zhang Xinye with full force.

Meanwhile, the silver sword pill flew back into Zhang Xinye’s body, enshrouding him in a silver light.

With a sudden ’whoosh’, he flew back, riding the sword light at high speed, evading the all-out strike of the two Lion Demons.

Although he was not a match for the two Lion Demons, Zhang Xinye’s attempt to flee could not be stopped by them.

But Zhang Xinye, as one of the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivators present among the Seven Demon Exterminators, his defeat shook the human race.

Summer Hong and Lu Chen of the Red Sun Sect, Li Jiawei of the Li Family, and Xin Zhiqi of the Qingluan Palace looked at each other, seemingly discussing who should take over the fight.

But Jin Tingfeng was already impatient.

“Enough playing, it’s over now.”

Jin Tingfeng coldly stepped forward, instantly teleporting in front of the two Lion Demons.

Raising his fist, a brilliant white light emanated from it, then he punched them with incredible force!

“Seeking death?”

The two Lion Demons were enraged, directing their massive claws at Jin Tingfeng, attempting to crush this human ant to death.

“Roar!”

But immediately, they let out a miserable scream.

A white beam of light pierced through the center of its incredibly hard claws.

Their sharp claws were directly penetrated by Jin Tingfeng!

Jin Tingfeng roared fiercely, the spiritual power within his body circulated rapidly, and his hands suddenly enlarged under a secret technique, his arms extending continuously.

The surface of his arms was inscribed with dense ancient runes, which rapidly extended to over ten zhang.

The two gigantic hands, summoned by the secret technique, grabbed the attacking forelimbs of the two Lion Demons.

Then, with a fierce twist and pull, he savagely ripped the entire forelimb from their bodies!

Rivers of blood poured down from the sky like a waterfall.

Witnessing the plight of the two Lion Demons, the Cold Cicada Demon, the Great Eagle Demon, and several other high-tier Demon Generals rushed to aid, only to be blasted into bloody mist by a single punch from Jin Tingfeng!

“Get out here, Blue Sheep Demon!”

Bathed in the scalding demonic blood, Jin Tingfeng went berserk.

At this moment, the Blue Sheep Demon could no longer sit still.

Stepping out from the demon clan’s camp, the ground shook violently, and fierce winds rose.

Two semi-transparent azure horns emitted a brilliant radiance, resembling two azure beams piercing the sky.
