Chapter 874 – Beheading
Chapter 874 – Beheading
In order to suppress the Dark Night Demon King, Yan Yu had never relaxed his control over the Heavenly Law Clock from start to finish.
As a result, the backlash she received from the Heavenly Law Clock was also extremely severe.
With a pale little face, Yan Yu constantly urged Xu Chuniang to do something.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, delayed is better than never, make your move quickly and kill the Dark Night Demon King!”
Xu Chunniang caused the Underworld Flame to grow a little stronger, and her body swayed weakly in response.
“Fellow Daoist Yan has lifted me up, it’s already not easy for me to barely control this fire.
This bell of yours is shining unbearably brightly, I really don’t have any more strength left.”
Yan Yu frowned tightly, knowing that now was not the time to speak, forcing down the dissatisfaction and dislike in his heart.
Taking out the four late stage Void Refining puppets, he caused them to walk towards the Dark Night Demon King.
Seeing this, Xu Chuniang didn’t even raise her eyes.
She did not know just how many puppets Yan Yu had on him.
But as she could casually take out dozens of them for use in formations, and even said such things as building a puppet army, she thought that the number of puppets she had on her person was by no means a small number.
The two were allies, and the distribution of the loot after killing the Dark Night Demon King had also been agreed upon a long time ago, so why should they rush up to contribute.
What’s more, the beast is still fighting, the Dark Night Demon King’s counterattack before dying will only be fierce.
Xu Chuniang’s prediction was good, the four puppets stepped forward, and before they had the chance to strike, they were grabbed by the Dark Night Demon King, who had managed to break free from the Heavenly Law Clock’s suppression.
He tore the puppets apart with his bare hands, the pupils of his eyes filled with madness and viciousness as he looked towards Yan Yu.
“Wanting this king’s life, with you, you’re not qualified! Hahahahaha ……”
“Not good!”
Yan Yu’s face turned white and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Just now, she had completely lost control of the Heavenly Rhythm Clock, which was why the Dark Night Demon King had found an opportunity to get away.
Thinking of the consequences of her failure, her eyes turned cold.
No, years of planning could never fail!
Yan Yu shed the Heavenly Law Clock, but did not put it away.
As long as this bell was present, the Dark Night Demon King’s would be suppressed, only able to utilize less than fifty percent of his strength.
She took a deep breath and offered more puppets to surround the Dark Night Demon King heavily.
Afterwards, she swallowed the elixir hidden under her tongue and struck the nail hammer in her hand, inspiring channels of thunder.
After these thunderbolts appeared, a red aura flashed across them, causing the thunderbolts to rise high.
If Xu Chuniang felt something, she looked towards the red awns in the thunder light.
Not far away from the intensity, she still felt it, the blazing temperature in the red awns.
This red awn was, surprisingly, a fire of the heavens and earth that was no weaker than the Underworld Fire.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze, not feeling surprised in her heart.
As a puppeteer, it was not surprising that Yan Yu was able to refine so many puppets and control some sort of powerful flame.
She continued to control the Underworld Flame, constantly pestering the Dark Night Demon King and creating trouble for him.
Thunder borrowed the power of fire, and with the Red Lotus Karmic Flame’s boost, the lightning shattered the demonic aura that the Dark Night Demon King had condensed and headed straight towards his brow.
Yan Yu knew in her heart that although the puppet she had refined was not weak, but in front of the Demon King level powerhouse, it was nothing more than a papier-mâché doll, and could at best entangle him for a moment.
The Dark Night Demon King must be killed as soon as possible, or else all of these puppets would be lost here!
Sensing the danger, the Dark Night Demon King hastily sidestepped it, and the lightning light followed his brow and entered his right eye.
“Ah!”
His right eye suffered from this lightning light, and blood flowed out in an instant. Yan Yu’s heart was relieved, but he still didn’t dare to be careless, continuing to control the thunder light towards the Dark Night Demon King’s brow.
Soon, both of the Dark Night Demon King’s eyes were injured, and his face and forehead, too, were covered with large and small wounds and the power of thunder and fire.
He was completely enraged, and his demonic aura stirred, causing the Heavenly Law Clock above him to tremble.
Even the formation that was holding down this space became unstable and vaguely cracked.
Yan Yu’s face changed slightly, not expecting that under the dual suppression of the formation and the Heavenly Law Clock, the Dark Night Demon King would actually be able to make such a big commotion.
It was fortunate that she had chosen to strike today, taking advantage of the fact that the Yellow Sand Demon King’s hand had weakened his strength in one fell swoop.
If a few more days passed, when the demonic qi and injuries in his body recovered, even with the Heavenly Law Clock, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be able to suppress it.
Seeing that the formation was about to falter, Yan Yu did not dare to hesitate, and categorically slapped his chest, spitting out a large mouthful of black blood.
Immediately, she pointed towards the Heavenly Law Clock, her fingertip pouring out a pure spiritual qi, sending it into the body of the clock.
With this spiritual qi, the Heavenly Law Clock’s voice increased greatly, violently doubled in size, and crushed towards the Dark Night Demon King.
There was even a legal pattern that vaguely appeared from the body of the clock and slapped on the body of the Dark Night Demon King.
After receiving this pattern, the Dark Night Demon King screamed miserably, and his body’s demonic aura rapidly melted like ice meeting fire.
Intense fear appeared in his eyes as he stared at the spell pattern on his body, “What the hell is this thing, why can it restrain my demonic aura?”
However, what answered him was the endless red flames that wrapped him up so that he couldn’t breathe ……
After burning for a whole day and night, feeling the body in the Red Lotus Karma Flame, which had completely obliterated its vitality, Yan Yu reluctantly withdrew the firelight.
“Snap, snap, snap.”
The crisp sound of applause was particularly striking in the quiet environment.
Xu Chuniang smiled and exclaimed, “Daoist Yan is skillful, actually able to hide his aura in his body, hidden underneath his demonic aura, this is the first time I’ve seen such a tactic.”
Yan Yu, however, was not in much of a good mood, and even had a stifled feeling when she thought of the two’s previous agreement that she had to share the corpse of the Dark Night Demon King.
It was very difficult to kill the enemy across the ranks, even if she was once a Harmonized Cultivator, she was not now.
Thinking back to this day or so of fighting, it was perilous, and a few times, it nearly went out of control.
She even suspected that Xu Chuniang was deliberately depleting her strength by not exerting herself.
Moreover, in order to forcefully kill the Dark Night Demon King, the undercurrent of aura hidden within her body was also exposed to this person’s eyes.
Yan Yu coldly swept over Xu Chunniang, his tone unkind.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, I ordered you to do your best to hold back the Dark Night Demon King, but you’ve been too perfunctory, haven’t you?”
“I’ve done my best to cast the Underworld Flame to help you, so why would I say it’s perfunctory?”
Xu Chuniang disagreed, “That small bell you sacrificed made me very uncomfortable and affected my movements.
If I approach the Dark Night Demon King hastily, if I am under his jurisdiction, won’t that give him an opportunity to take advantage of it?”
Yan Yu was too lazy to distinguish between what was true and what was false in her words.
“Let’s just say that you’ve done your best, but it’s a fact that you didn’t contribute much, and the distribution of the spoils of war can’t be calculated according to the previous agreement.”
Xu Chuniang glanced at Yan Yu with a wry smile, “Fellow Daoist Yan, does this mean that you intend to break the agreement?”
Yan Yu shook his head, “Naturally not, just discussing with Fellow Daoist Xu, after all, it is plain to see that I have contributed more.”
“If I remember correctly, what I promised fellow Daoist Yan in the first place was originally to assist from the sidelines and help you kill the Dark Night Demon King.
As for the spoils of war, it was also something that was discussed early on.”
Xu Chuniang smiled and said good-naturedly, “If Fellow Daoist Yan wishes to break the contract, but I can’t afford to give up, this demonic aura of the Dark Night Demon King.”
