Chapter 141: Ying Family Talent—Life Burning!
Outside the Imperial Capital.
Ying Xinghe stood back-to-back with a few other Human warriors, covered in blood, breath chaotic, yet still resolutely guarding the final defense.
But for now, the Demon Race wasn't in a hurry to kill them; it was more about playing around.
These demons had been confined in the Demon Realm for so many years, and it had driven them to madness.
Now they've finally made it to this Human World.
And they encountered a few foolish Humans who swore never to surrender and fought to the end.
They couldn't kill these Humans so easily!
The group of demons laughed shrilly like cats playing with mice.
"Why struggle on the verge of death? Do you think the few of you can withstand our dozens of elite demons?"
"Not killing you now is just because we find it interesting!"
"Once our Demon King kills that old man... do you think the lot of you can stand for much longer?!"
Ying Xinghe's expression remained calm as water, ignoring the demons' taunts.
But his gaze involuntarily turned to the battle in the sky, a trace of concern flickering in his eyes.
Clan Leader...
At this moment, the outcome of the entire battle depended on Ying Tian and that Monarch Peak demon.
If Ying Tian could defeat the demon Monarch, Humans still had a sliver of hope.
If defeated...
A Monarch Peak demon, plus dozens of Commander Level...
Such a force could crush them into dust in an instant!
Ying Xinghe clenched his fist, the crisis at the scene weighing heavily on him, nearly suffocating him.
At the peak of the clouds, the battle raged fiercely.
Ying Tian was covered in blood, his robe long soaked through.
Yet the Demon King across from him remained composed, surrounded by Demonic Qi, showing little sign of injury.
"Human, to fight me to this extent, you may have your pride."
The Demon King's crimson eyes were full of contempt, "But the game should end now—"
"Boom!"
Heaven-consuming Demonic Qi suddenly exploded!
The Demon King's aura surged instantly to a peak, the terrifying pressure causing the surrounding clouds to scatter.
Though this old man was also at Monarch Peak, the same level...
there was a chasm-like difference!
Witnessing this, Ying Tian took a deep breath, his gaze peculiarly calm.
He had just commanded his Guardian Beast to unleash its strongest attack.
Yet it still failed to inflict any harm on this demon.
He was not a match for this demon!
Thus, to kill this demon by conventional means...
With his current strength, it was mere dreaming!
Thinking this, he slowly turned his head to look at the old friend alongside him.
Dragon Flame Battle Tiger!
This Guardian Beast had followed him since his childhood.
And he had cultivated it step by step to its current height using the Ying Family's bloodline.
But as time passed, the side effects of the Ying Family's bloodline began to show.
The stronger the Guardian Beast's power, the faster his life force drained.
And combat would only accelerate this draining of life force.
Finally, under Long Zhenguo's orders, he left the battlefield.
To guard the Ying Family.
And to guard the whole Blue Star Longxia Country.
"It's been so long since I've fought, I'm really a bit rusty!"
Ying Tian extended his hand, his wrinkled palm gently stroking the Dragon Flame Battle Tiger's fur.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, he slowly closed his eyes, making a firm decision.
Since conventional means couldn't kill this demon...
Then use unconventional means!
The next moment, astonishing changes occurred on his body.
His silver hair visibly turned black, wrinkles receded like the tide, and his hunched figure straightened.
But this was not reverting to youth, it was...
burning the final portion of his life!
"Roar—!"
The Dragon Flame Battle Tiger let out a mournful howl, understanding what this meant.
While Ying Tian had already returned to peak status.
Staring at the demon not far away with a contemptuous face, Ying Tian slowly spoke:
"The Ying Family's talent has only one..."
Opposite, the demon Monarch raised an eyebrow with interest, crimson eyes flickering with curious light.
He was very curious, in the face of such a vast gap in strength, what trick this Human would use.
"Life Burning!"
Blood-red flames suddenly ignited around Ying Tian, each flame flickering with the rhythm of life.
"This is the talent every member of our Ying Family awakens to..."
"And it is also the foundation of our Ying Family bloodline!"
Blood flames erupted from Ying Tian's body, instantly enveloping the Dragon Flame Battle Tiger completely.
Under the refinement of this life fire, the battle tiger's aura rose steadily.
"Roar——!"
Amidst the earth-shaking tiger roar, the Demon King finally changed color!
His scarlet pupils contracted violently, and he stared incredulously at the scene before him——
He had to acknowledge that although he was at the Monarch Peak, his strength...
was already infinitely close to the Half-Step Totem Level!
This was the reason he had completely disregarded Ying Tian earlier.
But now...
A trace of grave severity appeared in the Demon King's eyes.
Under this human's talent, he forcibly elevated the power of this Guardian Beast to the same level as him.
At this moment.
Watching the blood-colored flames completely envelop the Dragon Flame Battle Tiger, a relieved smile appeared on Ying Tian's face.
"In the end, I'm too old..."
He sighed softly, the temperature from his palm making his eyes slightly warm.
"Even if I burn everything, I can only help you this far."
"Old friend, I wanted you to live on..."
"It seems now, we shall sleep eternally here together."
"Snort——"
The Dragon Flame Battle Tiger snorted, as if responding to Ying Tian.
Seeing this, Ying Tian smiled.
"Since we're both prepared! Then..."
"Take action!"
Ying Tian suddenly shouted fiercely.
"Roar——!"
The domain of the Dragon Flame Battle Tiger expanded instantly, enveloping the Demon King.
Simultaneously, Ying Tian's domain was also released, and the pressure from the overlapping Double Domain started to distort the space.
Realizing what Ying Tian intended to do, the Demon King finally panicked, his scarlet pupils contracting violently.
"Madman!"
"Is it worth it for those ants? Join us, and you could even break through to the Totem Level!"
Ying Tian merely shook his head gently:
"You don't understand!"
"They are not ants; they are the hope for the survival of our Human Race!"
After saying this, Ying Tian's gaze locked onto the Demon King.
He knew better than anyone that even risking his life, he could not defeat this Demon King.
The only way was to use all his and his Guardian Beast's energy, combined with the Double Domain, to potentially perish together with this Demon Race.
The next moment——
"Boom!!!"
The Double Domain detonated simultaneously, and a terrifying energy storm instantly engulfed everything.
The Demon King, positioned at the center of the explosion, frantically activated his domain to resist...
But this was Ying Tian's all-out strike at the peak! How could it be so easily blocked?!
After the earth-shattering explosion, the clouds were torn into a massive hole, and the entire space shattered into chaotic turbulence, erasing all traces...
Both the Demon King and Ying Tian's figures turned to ashes within the terrifying energy!
Below.
The terrifying shockwave swept across, and the entire battlefield instantly fell into dead silence.
Ying Xinghe and the Demon Race were simultaneously frozen in place——
They all clearly perceived that the two Monarch-level auras had completely vanished.
"The Demon King... has fallen?!"
After a brief silence, the Demon Race erupted in thunderous roars:
"Kill those ants! Sacrifice the entire city with blood to honor the Demon King!"
All the Demon Race went completely mad!
Ying Xinghe's eyes also turned blood-red, his fingernails digging deeply into his palm.
The Clan Leader... had fallen.
Watching the tide-like rush of the Demon Race, he understood that today was destined to be a deadlock.
But——
"Everyone, heed my command!"
He took a step forward, his voice hoarse yet firm:
"Fight to the last moment!"
Ying Xinghe's voice echoed on the battlefield, and blood-colored flames instantly enveloped his entire body.
Just as he prepared for a desperate fight——
Five figures sliced through the sky like lightning, boldly thrusting into the center of the battlefield!
The youth at the forefront had a divine pattern shining on his forehead, surrounded by four Guardian Beasts exuding a terrifying aura.
"Gu Xing..."
Ying Xinghe's pupils contracted sharply, the burning blood flames momentarily paused.
At this critical moment, he actually...
returned!!
