NOVEL NEXT Chapter 407: Crisis! The Sky Demon Appears
Hong Mingyue's face was as still as water, increasingly gloomy as he looked over his own Daxia Delegation.
Luo Song, since being injured that day, saw his condition worsen day by day, far from his former self.
His grandfather and Chou Alchemist were also of no use, it seemed that acquiring Yi God's Void-shattering Bow would depend solely on himself, Hong Mingyue contemplated thoughtfully.
Unlike Hong Mingyue's full mind of schemes, Ye Lingyue, after having given away two Yi God Void-breaking Arrows, felt herself relieved of a burden. She sat cross-legged, gradually recovering her Primordial Power while seizing the chance to cultivate her Third-Transformation Phoenix Body.
Sand slowly trickled down in the hourglass.
On the nineteenth day since everyone had entered the Xingxiu Cave, only three Light Talisman Balls remained overhead.
"Second Young Master, now that only three Light Talisman Balls have been left, we only need to break two more, and the prohibition of the Yi God's Void-shattering Bow will be lifted. Why not join forces and see who can break the Yi God's Void-shattering Bow first? Whoever breaks it first, the other will automatically give up the Yi God's Void-shattering Bow. What do you think?" Cong Lv, favored by Emperor Beiqing, showed his strategic superiority. By proposing this straightforwardly to Chen Minzhi before the contest.
In Cong Lv's eyes, among all present forces, only Luo Song and the unpredictable Chen Minzhi could truly compete with him.
The former, injured by a Yi God Void-breaking Arrow, no longer possessed competitive strength, leaving only Chen Minzhi.
Chen Minzhi was ultimately a man of Kaijiang Prince Manor, and Cong Lv did not wish to fall out with him unless absolutely necessary, hence the proposal.
"Since Guard Cong has spoken so, how could Minzhi refuse to comply? Let's do this together," replied Chen Minzhi straightforwardly.
Both glanced upwards, their gazes sweeping across the remaining three Light Talisman Balls, their eyes igniting with fervor simultaneously.
Suddenly, both moved against the wind.
Cong Lv, dressed in blue, transformed into a pale blue ray of light, whereas Chen Minzhi, clad in gray, his robes rustling.
In the blink of an eye, both had soared into the sky, one to the east and the other to the west, each attacking a Light Talisman Ball on their respective sides.
The Light Talisman Balls, sensing fluctuations in Primordial Power, shook abruptly, revealing vibrant lights and unleashing Prohibition Power, exuding vastness and murderous intent.
Cong Lv and Chen Minzhi were also prepared. Cong Lv took a deep breath of Primordial Power, steadying his form, reaching to his waist and revealing from his hand a broad and two yards long saber. The blade emanated a fierce cold energy.
What a great Earth Rank Spiritual Saber.
Even from the ground, Ye Lingyue could feel the killing intent emanating from the blade.
"Ba Feng Blade, that's the Spiritual Saber bestowed by Emperor Beiqing to Cong Lv, paired with the Cong Family's Dominator Blade Three Styles, Cong Lv's strength could match those in the Third Level of Reincarnation, even up to the Fourth Level. We are sure to win; after all, thanks to some people who desperately broke three Light Talisman Balls, didn't the Yi God's Void-shattering Bow still end up in our hands at the end?" Although not very agreeable with Cong Lv usually, Princess Qing Bi was very confident in Cong Lv's strength. After speaking, she cast a sidelong glance at Ye Lingyue.
"The outcome is still undecided, Princess, you are celebrating too early," said Ye Lingyue nonchalantly.
If it were still the original Chen Minzhi, Cong Lv would undoubtedly win, but being this "Chen Minzhi," the result was unpredictable.
Cong Lv slashed with his saber the moment it struck towards the upper Light Talisman Ball.
Primordial Power collided crazily with Prohibition Power, the two forces clashing unstoppably, creating waves of power around them.
Witnessing this, Chen Minzhi slightly squinted, a sinister gleam flashing across his narrow eyes.
He jolted his sleeve and reached out his hand, as he spread his fingers, the Light Talisman Ball landed in his palm. The Prohibition Power was ferocious beyond measure, slashing his hand with deep bloody cuts, yet Chen Minzhi seemed completely oblivious to the pain.
Crack, crack, crack, the Light Talisman Ball was forcibly crushed in Chen Minzhi's hand.
The moment the Light Talisman Ball exploded, Chen Minzhi's right hand was also blasted into Blood Mist by the fragments released from the Prohibition Power.
Madman!
That person must be a madman.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was aghast, to the point where no one even paid attention to what was inside the Light Talisman Ball after it shattered.
Who could have predicted that Chen Minzhi would sacrifice his own right hand just to seize the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow?
Upon hearing the explosion of the Light Talisman Ball, Cong Lv's blade almost instantaneously slashed through the Light Talisman Ball.
Suddenly, above the dark heavens, a burst of blood light surged.
The Yi God's Void-breaking Bow emitted a sound akin to thunder.
Blood blossomed on Chen Minzhi's grey robe like cherry flowers, as he laughed heartily with his head tilted back, snatching the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow.
The blood-red Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand unleashed a ferocious power, causing the heavens to abruptly change color, revealing that grey figure suspended mid-air.
"You are not Chen Minzhi, who exactly are you?" Cong Lv's expression drastically changed.
The grey-clad "Chen Minzhi" lifted his head, his narrow eyes filled with disdain and iciness.
He twisted his neck, and a swirl of black mist encircled him. Over his already exploded right hand, a sound of flesh wriggling echoed, as a new hand regrew.
Upon seeing that familiar black mist, the people of Daxia suddenly realized.
That black mist was clearly the mastermind behind the plight suffered by the Xixia Plain.
"You! You are from the Demon Clan!" Luo Song's face went as pale as ash, finally recognizing the identity of the man in the grey robe.
"Boy, you still have some decent eye power. I am Sky Demon Bei. To die by my hand would be a worthy death for you all. The Yi God's Void-breaking Bow has just broken its seal and needs fresh human blood to fully revive its Divine Power. Let me see, who has the honor to be the first under the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow?" The grey-clad "Chen Minzhi" extended his crimson tongue, the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow in his hand flashing with a blood light.
"How daring, demon, to brazenly enter Beiqing." Cong Lv stood in the air, and his Ba Feng Blade fiercely struck towards the Sky Demon Bei, that single strike unleashing powerful Primordial Power fluctuations that directly tore through the air.
"Naïve, a mere Reincarnation Martial Artist dares to contend against me." Sky Demon Bei cackled twice, facing Cong Lv's strike, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, lethargically raising his hand instead.
With just two fingers, he used merely two fingers to firmly clasp the Earth Rank blade between them, preventing it from inching closer to his body.
Cong Lv was dumbfounded, his blade in hand stuck as if mired in mud, unable to advance or withdraw.
"This is the difference between the vilified humans and the noble demons. It's been a while since I tasted human flesh." Sky Demon Bei's tongue greedily licked his lips, revealing teeth sharp as steel blades, and in a flash, he bit towards Cong Lv's neck.
