Chapter 881 Black Sky Demon (1/2)
“Black Sky Demon.”
Staring intently at the black shadow behind Han Yuan and the heart-pounding murderous spirit it exuded, even Zhou Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
The sword pill floated up in front of Zhou Yuan, filling the area with a mighty sword light before it turned into an incomparably sharp sword shadow.
Chi!
The sword shadow shot out like a bolt of lightning, aiming directly for Han Yuan.
Han Yuan stood motionless in the void until the sword shadow was no more than a foot away from his face. He slashed the black sickle through the air, striking the sword shadow. The beam of sword light shattered, and the sword pill trembled before shooting back.
Swoos.h.!.+
The Black Sky Demon vanished.
Zhou Yuan stepped sideways when he heard a harsh whistle of wind in his ear. He then saw the silhouette of the sickle slash down close to his body and rip the void apart.
Unsuccessful, the blade changed its attack once again. Wrapped in a strong murderous spirit, it moved in a tricky trajectory and swung down at Zhou Yuan’s neck.
Zhou Yuan wrinkled his brows. The speed of the Black Sky Demon was astonis.h.i.+ngly fast. He didn’t know what it was, but watching the sickle blade slash through the air in his direction, he didn’t panic in the slightest. Instead, he clenched his hand, and snowy-white hair spread out, covering his fist like a glove.
Clang!
A punch thrust out and collided with the sickle blade.
The void rippled, and during that moment of collision, Zhou Yuan could feel a powerful killing intent emanating from the blade, wanting to rush into his body and wreak havoc.
Roar!
But before the tyrannical power and killing intent could spread out, the World Subduing Heavenly Serpent Qi within Zhou Yuan’s body whizzed out, quickly eliminating them.
But this exchange made Zhou Yuan understand the Black Sky Demon possessed almost all the powers of Han Yuan as well as an innate tyrannical strength and killing intent. In terms of combat strength, it had even surpa.s.sed Han Yuan himself.
But after Han Yuan summoned the Black Sky Demon, his Genesis Qi was in deficit and was unable to partic.i.p.ate in the battle. Otherwise Zhou Yuan would have been caught in a predicament of having to fight against two.
Chi!
The Black Sky Demon’s figure moved like a ghost. The sickle blade in its hand turned into countless blade shadows and flooded towards Zhou Yuan like the tide.
Clang!
Within a few seconds, Zhou Yuan and the Black Sky Demon fought dozens of rounds. Every time, he would be pushed back half a step. The combat strength of the Black Sky demon was so incredibly fierce and tough that even he was at a disadvantage.
It was no wonder that Han Yuan saw this as his killing move.
But although the situation seemed disadvantageous to Zhou Yuan, his expression was still emotionless. Despite its fierce combat strength, it was impossible for the Black Sky Demon to possess the same battle consciousness and grasp of the changing situation like humans do.
Clang!
Another collision, but this time, Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he didn’t retreat an inch. Instead he took a step forward, and his figure got strangely close to the Black Sky Demon, appearing in the small blind spot of where the sickle blade was swinging down. At the same time, with the clench of his hand, the sword pill transformed into a beam of sword light.
Chi!
Zhou Yuan flashed dozens of steps away, the beam of sword light piercing the chest of the Black Sky Demon.
Uproar broke out in the outside world. The Black Sky Demon that Han Yuan had worked so hard to bring out was just gotten rid of like that?
However, even if his move was successful, there wasn’t a hint of joy on Zhou Yuan’s face. Instead, a glint of suspicion came to his eyes because he found that the Black Sky Demon, which was pierced by his sword, was still as powerful as before. Its strength hadn’t weakened in the slightest.
In midair, Han Yuan faintly smiled, “Pavilion master Zhou Yuan, your sword pill technique is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately it won’t have much effect on my Black Sky Demon.”
Zhou Yuan furrowed his brows and stared closely at the Black Sky Demon. A moment later his heart quivered as he discovered a wisp of Spirit hidden among the tremendous Genesis Qi pulsing around the Black Sky Demon’s body.
“The core of the Black Sky Demon is a Spirit that controls Genesis Qi?”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened in astonishment. It was no wonder that his previous sword strike had little effect—the core of the Black Sky Demon was a certain Spirit or Beast Spirit, and pure Genesis Qi attacks naturally had reduced effects on spirits.
Therefore, as long as the inner Spirit core remained, no matter how Zhou Yuan attacked, it would be able to quickly recover. And if this went on, Zhou Yuan would be exhausted to death.
To destroy the Spirit core, he needed to attack with Spirit power, but it would be difficult to break through the outer Genesis Qi defense with Spirit power alone.
This was the troublesome nature of the Black Sky Demon.
Chi!
But just when there were many thoughts churning in Zhou Yuan’s mind, there was a tyrannical aura rolling in like a storm. The tremendous shadow of the Black Sky Demon’s body shrouded Zhou Yuan. Wrapped in deadly intent, the black sickle blade pierced through the void and slashed down crazily at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan frantically retreated.
Boom!
The Black Sky Demon’s sickle blade tore deep marks into the ground. Its attacks were ferocious.
Roar!
As the offensive became more and more frenzied, the Black Sky Demon lifted its head and roared skywards, swallowing the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth. Its body rose steadily, and its offensive grew even more terrifying. It continuously delivered slas.h.i.+ng attacks at Zhou Yuan.
As a result, Zhou Yuan appeared to be at an absolute disadvantage.
In the outside world, on the Fire Pavilion’s side, Zuo Ya couldn’t help but snicker, “I thought Zhou Yuan was very capable, but Han Yuan forced him to such an embarra.s.sing state.”
