Locked onto by Long Chen's fierce killing intent, the man wearing the silver mask showed no sign of panic, as if he didn't take Long Chen and Mo Nian seriously at all.
He sneered, "You're too stupid. Can't you see that I already have control over this demon corpse?" Even if you join forces, you're no match for me. "
Buzz"
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to waste words with him. Stars swirled above the Evil Moon of the Dragonbone as he slashed at the masked man.
"Boom!"
Facing Long Chen's strike, the masked man neither dodged nor evaded, letting Long Chen's strike strike strike his face. However, his mask trembled, and the power of Long Chen's strike rapidly leaked out, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Long Chen was shocked; he had never seen anything like this before. Suddenly, the mask on the masked man's face lit up, and a violent force surged along the Evil Moon of the Dragon Bone toward Long Chen.
"Pfft!" Long Chen's
arms shook violently, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, sending him flying by the force.
"What's going on? He actually controlled this demonic corpse? Long Chen transmitted to Mo Nian. Mo Nian had invested so much effort and experience, yet still couldn't control this demon corpse, yet he managed it so easily?
"I don't know what method he used, but he can indeed harness the power of the demon corpse. This is really bad." Mo Nian was both shocked and furious; he too couldn't believe his eyes.
You have to know, this is an imperial-level demon corpse. As long as the masked man can harness its power, he's invincible—no one can defeat him.
Although Long Chen's strike just now was just a test and he didn't use his full strength, the gap between the two was simply too great.
"Do you know what it means to overestimate yourself?" Do you understand what it means for ants to shake a tree? What you're doing now is exactly this kind of foolishness.
The power of an emperor-level powerhouse—how could you ants possibly withstand it? Not convinced? Then just keep attacking? Seeing Long Chen being forced back, the masked man sneered.
"Is there any way?" Long Chen asked Xiang Mo Nian.
Long Chen was furious at the masked man's provocation. It wasn't that he couldn't beat this guy, but that with the power of the demon corpse protecting him, Long Chen couldn't hurt him at all.
If you force a fierce attack, it will only drain your precious stamina and be completely useless. If things go wrong, this guy might even turn the tables and kill you.
"Only that Imperial Dao Arrow might be effective. With my current strength, I simply can't activate it." Mo Nian was also extremely anxious.
He had pulled the Imperial Arrow from the demon corpse, but after it was pulled out, it entered a dormant state.
It began to enter a state of self-cultivation. Either it would awaken itself when it reached a certain level of strength, or it would need external force to forcibly awaken it. With Mo Nian's current strength, it simply couldn't be awakened.
"Now this is really troublesome." Long Chen looked at the masked man, who was shrouded in demonic energy, and his heart sank.
For a moment, Mo Nian and Long Chen were at a loss. No matter how wise they were, they had no solution at all.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a figure trembled and appeared atop the demon corpse. That person was none other than the demon clan expert who had fled earlier. He had returned.
Earlier, when Huo Qianwu tried to self-destruct, he was so scared he ran away, afraid of taking him with him. When there was no sound for a long time, he ran back again.
"Damn it, give me back my ancestor's remains..."
As soon as the demon appeared, he roared and charged straight at the masked man, stabbing his snake spear fiercely.
Facing a strike from a demon clan expert, the masked man showed no intention of dodging, letting the snake spear pierce his chest.
"Pfft" However,
what Long Chen, Mo Nian, and the masked man did not expect was that the demon warrior's snake spear actually broke through the masked man's protective demonic light and pierced his chest.
"Hahaha, idiot, these are the remains of my ancestors. How could his power possibly protect you?" The demon clan expert grinned viciously as he continued to thrust his snake spear fiercely.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. The demon clan expert let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward. Although the snake spear was stained with blood, judging by the marks, it had only pierced about an inch deep.
Long Chen and Mo Nian were startled. The serpent spear was clearly a terrifying Heavenly Saint divine weapon. It had clearly broken through the masked man's defenses but couldn't pierce his body. Wouldn't his body be as terrifying as Long Chen's?
"No, he's wearing protective soft armor." Mo Nian noticed something was wrong. From his wound, he saw a glimmer of light—probably some kind of metal.
"So it really is your ancestor. That's great! Using your blood to create talismans, you should be able to control this demon corpse faster." The masked man lowered his head to look at his wound, then at the distant demon warrior, his voice turning sinister.
"Buzz"—
behind the masked man, the Destiny Wheel appeared, and within it, a headless corpse appeared.
"So he started coveting this demon corpse even earlier than I did." Mo Nian saw the figure on the Destiny Wheel and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Of course. This demon corpse bears the marks left by three generations of my clan. It was only in my generation that we began to harvest the results. Otherwise, why do you think I could control it so quickly?" The masked man sneered.
"Rumble..."
Just as the masked man opened the Destiny Wheel, the demonic corpse trembled violently, and endless demonic runes surged from its limbs and wings toward its neck—that was exactly where it was.
At that moment, the masked man's aura surged rapidly, and the Destiny Wheel behind him kept expanding. The previously blurry figure of the demon corpse on the wheel began to become clear.
"We have to stop him." Long Chen said solemnly.
"The key is, we have no choice!" Mo Nian also looked anxious, but now he was truly out of technique. That guy controlled the demon corpse, so he had no weaknesses.
Long Chen took a deep breath, took out one eye patch, and covered one eye. When the other eye opened, his entire pupil turned black.
Long Chen didn't know if his Purgatory Eye could stop the masked man, but he had to try. The Qiankun Cauldron was used for killing, and the Dragon Bone Evil Moon hadn't yet controlled his body. The Eight-Star Battle Body couldn't be activated, and any power was useless before the laws of the Imperial Dao. Now, he only had the Purgatory Eye, so perhaps he could contend head-on with such power.
Although Long Chen knew to avoid using the Purgatory Eye because it would bring greater power to the inner demon, he couldn't care about that anymore.
"Die!" Evil Blood Demon Sacrifice."
Just as Long Chen was about to activate the Purgatory Eye, a demon clan expert's sinister laughter suddenly echoed from afar. He formed a strange hand seal with both hands, and a blood bead condensed in front of him.
The blood beads were the blood stained on the snake spear, coming from the masked man. As the demon clan powerhouse activated the seal, the blood clan member landed on the demon corpse. At that moment, the sounds of the entire world ceased.
The blood was absorbed by the demon corpse. At that moment, the masked man cried out in alarm. The energy that had surged into his body was rapidly flowing backward, even his essence bloodHe was being wildly absorbed by the demon corpse.
"Boom!"
Seeing things were going badly, the masked man roared. Suddenly, three divine rings appeared above his head, and at the same time, three rings appeared on the demon corpse's body.
"Don't give up, hold on..." Mo Nian was shocked when he saw the three divine rings. He knew this was his method of binding the demon corpse.
"Boom!"
Just as Mo Nian shouted, the three divine rings above the masked man's head shattered. In that instant, the demon corpse's restraints were completely released, and a surge of evil energy surged into the sky. Long Chen and the others were instantly blasted away by the shockwave.
"It's over, out of control."
Mo Nian screamed in despair.
