Chapter 189
“Human girl, you have successfully angered me! I will make you wish you were neither alive nor dead!”
The True Demon roared to the heavens, his voice shaking the nine skies!
In the next moment.
The heavens and earth rumbled.
A sea of blood surged, covering the sky and the sun, blood qi churned, an endless bloody scent filled the air, enveloping the heavens and earth, as if the entire world was filled with blood!
“Blood Demon Devours the Heavens!”
The True Demon slapped the sky, and a towering blood wave surged, transforming into a ferocious blood-colored monster, rushing to devour Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan.
“Boom!”
Blood light spread, blood qi soared, a deafening explosion erupted in the sky, and the combined attack of Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan was actually shattered by the True Demon’s Blood Demon Devours the Heavens!
The Blood Demon Devours the Heavens was immensely powerful, and Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan were blasted away.
And the monster in the sea of blood took advantage of the victory, pouncing towards the two!
“Damn it!”
The True Demon seemed to have activated some secret technique that burned his potential, greatly enhancing his combat power in a short time, and the combined attack of the two could not prevail!
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan exchanged a glance, their faces slightly pale, but still unafraid, once again channeling all their spiritual power, each condensing a pure white longsword.
With a gentle twist of their wrists.
The two swords merged into one.
The pure white sword edge was extremely sharp, containing a sword intent capable of destroying heaven and earth!
The sword body flowed with a flawless luster, like a celestial maiden from beyond the heavens, exuding a noble temperament, like a peerless beauty emerging from the depths of the abyss, intoxicating to the heart.
The sword tip pointed directly at the true demon, emanating a cold, radiant light, as if it could annihilate all evil thoughts.
This was their final and strongest strike!
Both of them had already exhausted all their strength.
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan each spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces growing even paler.
Boom!
The pure white sword radiance collided with the true demon’s white jade bone spear, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy.
Xiao Minghuang and Sheng Bailan were sent flying, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their faces deathly pale.
But at this moment, they had no time to tend to their injuries. They immediately mobilized all their spiritual energy, crushed every talisman they could use, and transformed into streaks of light, fleeing the area at top speed.
Watching the two points of white light disappear into the horizon, the true demon was filled with rage. He hadn’t expected that, as a true demon of the Nascent Soul Realm, and having used a heavenly artifact, he would repeatedly be thwarted by two human ants!
This wasn’t just a matter of face. If he couldn’t quickly eliminate these two human ants, and if the human race’s supreme experts were to notice, he would no longer be able to set up a larger teleportation array to summon even more powerful true demons from across the realms.
“Human brats! I don’t have time to deal with you. When the saintly true demon descends, the entire southern region will be turned into demonic land!”
The true demon sneered coldly. When that time came, where could these two ants possibly run to?
…
In the capital of Xia.
Countless cultivators stood ready for battle.
Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, as well as the Medicine King, Xiao Hanbing, and others stood on the city wall, watching from afar as two streaks of light cut through the sky and quickly landed on the wall.
“Your Highness!”
Seeing Xiao Minghuang appear, Ye Ruoshui immediately rushed forward.
Her eyes welled up with tears, her eye sockets red, unable to hold back her sobs.
Because, at this moment, Xiao Minghuang was covered in bloodstains, her clothes tattered, even her hair was a mess, and her face was as pale as paper.
And Sheng Bailan, whom she held in her arms, was no better off. Her clothes were in tatters, her hair disheveled, her body covered in wounds and bloodstains, her eyes tightly shut, barely clinging to life.
But in Ye Ruoshui’s eyes, there was only Xiao Minghuang.
“Your Highness… you’re injured…”
Ye Ruoshui’s heart ached terribly, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with worry.
“Your Highness…”
Lin Wanqiu’s expression also turned grim.
They all knew Xiao Minghuang’s strength well. With the support of the nation’s fortune, an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator shouldn’t have been able to harm her.
But at this moment, Xiao Minghuang was indeed covered in wounds, her robes in tatters, her exposed skin covered in dense bloodstains.
“I’m fine… Medicine King, please help Bailan with her injuries.”
Xiao Minghuang, bolstered by the nation’s fortune and having undergone the tempering of a perfected body, though her injuries looked severe, hadn’t actually harmed her foundation.
But Sheng Bailan was different.
With her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, she had forcibly joined forces with Xiao Minghuang, who had the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm, to fight the true demon to the death. This had far exceeded her limits, and she was now completely unconscious.
“Princess, rest assured, I will spare no effort in treating Sect Master Sheng!”
After temporarily settling Sheng Bailan, Xiao Minghuang looked at the people present.
At this moment, not only were people from Xia standing on the city wall, but also the rulers of several nearby countries, as well as elders from the Beast Taming Sect and the Spirit Sword Sect.
Xiao Minghuang glanced at them and slowly spoke:
“The true demon’s strength exceeded my expectations. Sect Master Sheng and I gave it our all, but we were still no match for him. I apologize…”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Sheng Bailan was the strongest in the Southern Territory, and Xiao Minghuang, bolstered by the fortune of the Great Xia Kingdom, was powerful enough to rival a Divine Transformation realm cultivator. Yet, even with their combined strength, they had still been defeated by the True Demon.
Did this mean the Southern Territory was doomed?
The monarchs and elders present all changed their expressions.
“Princess… what should we do now?” the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect asked nervously.
“Perhaps… we should evacuate to neighboring regions while there’s still time,” someone suggested.
“You can leave if you want, but the Southern Territory is my home. Even if I die, I will stay here!” an elder from the Spirit Sword Sect declared with passionate resolve.
Xiao Minghuang also frowned. She had done her best, but it still wasn’t enough to defeat the True Demon.
The other members of the Xia Kingdom wore expressions of sorrow. The True Demon was too powerful, beyond human strength to overcome. Perhaps fleeing was their only option.
The Medicine King, having tended to Sheng Bailan, hurried back and approached Xiao Minghuang, transmitting a message:
“Princess, do not worry. This old man has a method that might give you a chance to defeat the True Demon!”
Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang immediately asked, “What method?”
The Medicine King smiled slightly, his gaze shifting to Ye Ruoshui and Lin Wanqiu, and said:
“In the past, I was trapped at the threshold of life and death, attempting to enter the Pure Yang realm through the path of fire, and then balance it with the Yin-Yang Dao to build a Yin-Yang foundation. However, I was stuck at the stage of solitary Yang without Yin, and after an unexpected event, this idea became nothing more than a pipe dream.”
“Your two companions, one is a natural Fire Spirit Body, and the other is a natural Yin Spirit Body. Combined with your natural Pure Yang Fire Spirit Body, and the fact that your spiritual energies are interconnected and your auras aligned, you can achieve a balance of Yin and Yang, complementing each other!”
“If the three of you join forces, you will undoubtedly unleash even greater combat power. Defeating a Transformation Spirit realm True Demon should not be a problem.”
Hearing the Medicine King’s words, Xiao Minghuang’s eyes lit up.
This method seemed feasible.
