Chapter 92 Slaying the Wood-type Great Demon of the Demon Clan at the Grandmaster Realm!
With Zhang Jiumei's help, Zhang Yuan struggled to his feet, staggered to Wang Ziteng's side, and anxiously checked his breath and pulse.
After confirming that Wang Ziteng was only unconscious and out of danger, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the last place where Yun Zheng had been.
There, only a few wisps of blue light, like fireflies, remained, slowly fading away.
Yun Zheng's remaining face was faintly visible in the light spots. It was no longer the paleness and hatred of a prisoner, nor the despair and mockery he had shown when facing the Demon King of the Overturning Sea. Instead, it carried a strange calmness, and even—a sense of relief.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the dissipating light, landing on Zhang Yuan and the unconscious Wang Ziteng. His lips moved silently, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he could not utter a sound.
In those eyes, there was a deep-seated longing, an unfulfilled resentment, and an earnest entrustment, all of which ultimately transformed into a clear and complex expression.
Then, all the lights completely disappeared, merging into the cold night wind.
The ruins of the Mahavira Hall are now just a scene of devastation, a heavy stench of blood, and a deathly silence.
Only Xing Daorong's figure, standing tall with a gun, cast a heavy and chilling shadow, like an inextinguishable lighthouse.
Although the magnificent aura that had once stirred up the fortunes of humanity for thousands of miles around him had subsided, it still seemed to linger silently above the ruins, intimidating all demons and monsters.
Mu Kui's emerald green eyes were fixed on the unconscious Prince Teng, his greed and eagerness almost tangible.
It roared, its voice echoing through the ruins: "Take him back to Fallen Star Marsh!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a strange green stream of light, carrying with it a shower of broken wood and churning demonic energy, rushing towards the fallen Prince Teng without regard for anything else!
Almost the instant Mu Kui set off, the four demon masters, Jin Yan, Xuan Yin, Qing Ling, and Yin Gu, also unleashed their final ferocity!
If they don't take Wang Ziteng with them, they'll only be facing certain death if they go back!
Knowing how terrifying Xing Daorong was, they held nothing back, burning their demonic energy and pushing their signature demonic techniques to their limits!
Jin Yan transformed himself into a mountain and crashed headlong into Xing Daorong.
Xuan Yin merged into the mud, and countless poisonous water arrows burst forth from beneath Xing Daorong's feet.
Azure Feather's four wings tore through space, and the wind blades were like a prison.
With a flick of the Bone Staff, several enormous bone demons burning with ghastly green soul flames burst forth from the earth!
Four destructive forces intertwined to form a web of death, all in an effort to entangle Xing Daorong, this Vajra Realm killing god, even if only for a moment!
A murderous aura surged in Xing Daorong's eyes. Facing the desperate combined attack of the four grandmasters, the black spear in his hand erupted with dazzling golden light, and the Vajra Dharma Image behind him solidified again. He roared, "You're courting death!"
Gunshots flashed like dragons, striking all directions with tremendous force. The terrifying collisions and explosions resounded through the sky, and the shockwaves completely shattered the already crumbling palace pillars!
In that split second, Mu Kui's demonic claws had barely touched Wang Ziteng's clothes!
"Get out of here!"
A cold shout rang out beside Mu Kui!
Out of the corner of Mu Kui's eye, he caught a glimpse of a verdant figure suddenly appearing, carrying the aura of the Innate Realm, and fiercely striking his waist and ribs with a palm!
It was Zhang Yuan who activated the [Innate Green Wood Incarnation]!
"Huh? The power of Aoki?" A look of extreme astonishment and absurdity flashed in Mu Kui's eyes.
As a master of the Green Wood Demon category, it is most sensitive to the aura of its own kind. This sudden appearance of an incarnation containing pure innate Wood Demon essence stunned it instantly.
This is clearly the sorcery of its lineage!
How could a human boy be like that?
Could it be—a wood-type demon race?
However, this astonishment lasted only a fraction of a second.
When it sensed the weak strength of the avatar, which was merely at the early stage of the Innate Realm, a cruel sneer curled at the corner of its mouth: "An ant dares to block the way? Shatter!"
It didn't even bother to change its moves; following the momentum of its forward charge, it casually swung its right arm, covered with bark-like textures, backward!
The arm swelled in the wind, transforming into a thick, gnarled, and metallic giant tree!
"Boom—!"
Zhang Yuan's incarnation of the Azure Wood, which had been condensed with a hundred years of lifespan and was incredibly resilient, was like a fragile glass bottle under the crushing force of a Grandmaster. It couldn't even withstand a single breath and was instantly blasted to pieces!
Countless fragments of vibrant blue demonic energy scattered and flew everywhere, only to be annihilated in the raging energy turbulence.
Mu Kui didn't even glance back at the vanished avatar, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.
Its only target is Prince Teng, who possesses the bloodline of the Azure Dragon and the essence of the Overturning Sea!
The demonic claws didn't stop, and were about to grab firmly!
Just as its fingertips were about to grip Wang Ziteng's shoulder, a sudden change occurred!
Mu Kui's demonic body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been nailed to the spot by an invisible giant nail!
The defiant glint of victory on its face froze, and slowly, with an incredulous look of horror, it lowered its head to look at its waist—
A cold, gleaming sword tip was emerging from its waist and abdomen!
The sword was still stained with thick, dark green demon blood!
Behind it, Zhang Yuan's figure appeared like a ghost!
His face was as cold and stern as ice, his left hand gripping the short sword called "Hidden Killer" tightly. All his strength, his unyielding sword intent, and even the wisp of noble literary energy in his chest were poured into this one thrust!
The short sword sank deep into the wooden demon's body, all the way down to the hilt!
"you----!"
A strange hissing sound came from Mu Kui's throat, and his emerald green pupils contracted wildly due to excruciating pain and extreme anger.
It finally understood!
That Aoki avatar was nothing but bait!
A dead bait that distracts it, lures it into underestimating it, and briefly obscures its senses!
The young man's scheme was so ruthless and decisive, exchanging a precious avatar for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!
There was no fluctuation in Zhang Yuan's eyes, only the cold killing intent of a successful strike.
He suddenly spun the sword hilt, and a violent burst of energy exploded within Mu Kui's body!
"puff--!"
The massive demon body of the Wood Demon convulsed violently, and a large plume of dark green fluid burst from its wounds.
It wanted to roar and fight back, but its life force was rapidly draining away like a flood breaking through a dam, and its demonic power was being frantically shattered by the short sword that contained strange power to ward off evil.
The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, filled with resentment and bitterness. It stared intently at Zhang Yuan, as if trying to imprint this mortal boy who had schemed against a grandmaster into the depths of his soul.
In the end, the demonic body that had once made the Black Scale Army take a stand and was able to briefly contend with Xing Daorong was as if all its life force had been drained, withering and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The solid wood became withered, gray, and cracked, and in an instant it turned into a huge, charred, twisted, lifeless piece of rotten wood, which crashed to the ground with a "thud," raising a cloud of dust.
【Ding! 】
[Slay the Wood-type Grandmaster Demon of the Demon Race, Mu Kui!]
[Returning lifespan: 1,630 years!]
[Current lifespan: 2110 years!]
A series of dazzling golden characters exploded in Zhang Yuan's mind!
A surge of vitality, like a warm torrent, flowed into his limbs and bones, instantly soothing his fatigue and hidden injuries after the fierce battle, and even making his martial arts foundation more solid!
The reward for slaying a grandmaster is incredibly generous!
Meanwhile, the battle situation at the front also came to a close.
"Those who stand in my way—die!"
Xing Daorong's roar was like a thunderclap from the heavens!
