Chapter 1009 - 995: Corruption

"Since there’s a female, then capture that female to force him into submission."

"Yes, this is the only way. We can’t face him directly; we’re no match."

"He’s too strong. We’ve sent so many men and made so many assassination attempts but couldn’t kill him. Instead, everyone we’ve sent has been completely wiped out."

The Dark Beastmen nearby were still discussing these matters.

Su Muyao’s face changed, her gaze sank, and her eyes were filled with a piercing killing intent.

These people actually want to kill Xie Guixue.

It turns out that when Xie Guixue first returned to the Demon Realm, he had gone through so many assassination attempts.

Thinking of this, Su Muyao felt intense heartache for Xie Guixue.

Her heart surged with endless killing intent, wanting to kill these Dark Beastmen.

Su Muyao’s fingers activated her Wood Element Ability, transforming into countless vines, ready to strike at any moment to take the lives of these people.

However, she didn’t leave the cave.

She absolutely couldn’t cause trouble for Xie Guixue.

Just as those Dark Beastmen tracked their way to the outside of the cave, ready to strike.

A mysterious shadow, like a swift wind slicing through the night, suddenly appeared outside the cave.

At this moment, a sinister killing intent enveloped the cave entirely.

Several Dark Beastmen figures fiercely charged towards the cave entrance.

Their aura was insidious and vicious. As they were about to attack the cave, unexpectedly, Xie Guixue returned at that moment.

"As expected, there’s a female in the cave you care about."

"Just like how Dark Beastmen are inherently cold and indifferent, your former wife died not too long ago, and now you care about another female."

These people deliberately said these words to provoke Xie Guixue.

They knew Xie Guixue’s transformation into a Dark Beastman was recent, his physical condition unstable; words of provocation could easily cause his Demonic Qi and Spirit Sea to riot.

Such rioting could lead to him losing control and facing backlash, which would be very dangerous.

This was also their opportunity to deal with him.

"You are not worthy to mention her."

As Xie Guixue spoke, a chilling killing intent surged in his cold eyes, and the black mist around him suddenly exploded, replaced by a bone-chilling wind-snow power.

In an instant, raging winds swept through the area, fragments of ice and frost condensed from thin air, the fierce wind-snow current centered around him spread wildly, the icy oppression instantly enveloped the entire mountain forest, forming an extreme confrontation with the Dark Beastmen’s black mist.

"Haha, he’s angered; anger is good."

"Strike!"

The leading Dark Beastman shouted sternly, his pitch-black eyes filled only with bloodthirsty killing intent.

Previously, no matter how they tried to provoke Xie Guixue, he remained indifferent, too lazy even to speak.

Yet now he could utter such a sentence, evidently caring a lot about the female inside the cave.

"Charge into the cave."

The group of Dark Beastmen collectively activated their superpowers, the dark mist around them suddenly surged like a terrifying black giant serpent, attacking Xie Guixue ferociously.

Wherever the black mist passed, countless trees were shattered, and vegetation uprooted with overwhelming force.

The leading Dark Beastman could even activate corrosive dark fog.

Several Dark Beastmen simultaneously tried to rush into the cave behind Xie Guixue.

Xie Guixue’s icy eyes remained cold and unfazed, raising his hand for a palm strike.

The fierce cold wind swept along with his strike, thousands of wind and snow combined into ice spikes, translucent ice crystals enveloping the storming wind-snow, transforming into an endless rain of ice blades, slashing fiercely into the black waves of mist.

Meanwhile, countless wind and snow transformed into sharp blades, killing those few Dark Beastmen attempting to enter the cave, reducing them to fragments.

The opposing Dark Beastmen witnessing this scene all had their faces tightened.

Simultaneously, a deafening roar erupted, the wind and snow violently collided with the black mist, black and white forces torn and exploded madly, causing surrounding rocks to continuously collapse, dust and debris flying everywhere.

"Crash through, capture that female."

As long as they could distract Xie Guixue, he wouldn’t be able to exert his power.

Xie Guixue had just transformed into a Demon Realm Dark Beastman, his Pure Blood not yet pure enough; he was in a weakened state, his Wind and Snow Ability still couldn’t fully adapt to the Demon Realm’s environment.

They must take advantage of this opportunity to kill him.

The leading Dark Beastman was a Pure Blood Dark Beastman, his strength immense.

After several confrontations, Xie Guixue understood their strength.

He also suffered injuries because the Pure Blood Dark Beastman’s power was indeed formidable.

Su Muyao watched from inside the cave, worried and wanting to help.

Sensing her motion, Xie Guixue spoke, "Don’t come out."

"But you..."

Su Muyao saw that he was injured again, her heart ached as her breath caught.

"I’m fine."

Xie Guixue felt he couldn’t care about his physical condition anymore; he must use that power.

This time, he was truly enraged, rapidly activating the demonic energy within him.

His demonic energy was more sinister and domineering. He manipulated it as if using invisible threads to bind these Dark Beastmen.

After merging Demonic Qi with the Wind and Snow powers, it became even stronger.

The overwhelming power surged out, quickly taking control of the entire field.

The force rapidly killed those Dark Beastmen, even heavily injuring their Pure Blood Dark Beastman leader, causing him to cough up blood incessantly.

"How is this possible? You haven’t completely transformed into a Pure Blood Dark Beastman, how could you have such power?"

"And how could your Demonic Qi merge with your Wind and Snow Ability?"

This was simply inconceivable; it was something unachievable.

Becoming a Dark Beastman meant there was no way to use ordinary Beastman superpowers normally.

Yet he could wield both demonic power and Wind and Snow Ability, even merging the two forces into one.

The person opposing him closely observed Xie Guixue, feeling utterly terrified.

Simultaneously, he seemed to realize something, laughing aloud, "You... you used such power to protect that female, disregarding your body during transformation; you’ll suffer backlash, and it will cost you your life."

"Pure Blood Dark Beastmen wouldn’t hold such deep emotions; it’s just a female, so naive."

"Someone like you, even if transformed into a Pure Blood Dark Beastman, cannot lead the entire Demon Realm. The King of the Demon Realm or the God of the Demon Realm in legend wouldn’t possess such feelings and vulnerabilities."

He laughed loudly, then was killed by Xie Guixue.

After dealing with these Dark Beastmen, Xie Guixue suppressed the surging blood and entered the cave to see Su Muyao, "How are you, are you hurt?"

Before leaving, Xie Guixue had set up a protective barrier at the cave entrance, imbued with his power.

When the barrier was activated, he would sense it, allowing him to return at extreme speed.

At this moment, he couldn’t bother with his disguise, his eyes openly filled with worry.

His heart was filled with lingering fear and panic.

He absolutely couldn’t let her stay here any longer.

Su Muyao shook her head, saying, "I’m fine, but you’re injured."

She saw him bleeding again, it hurt her to the point she could barely breathe, her eyes welled up, tears accumulating.

She fought hard not to let them fall, quickly channeling her Wood Element Ability into his body.

But this situation was somewhat special, the dark aura around Xie Guixue was very dense.

His cold eyebrows also showed signs of blackening, appearing to be on the verge of darkness.

"What... what’s happening?"

Xie Guixue realized something; his head was in intense pain. With his remaining rationality, he pushed Su Muyao away, saying, "Don’t... don’t come near."
