Chapter 65 - Insidious Demon (1/2)

“Ha-ha-ha, kid, you’re just like me. Selfish, cruel, heartless, and won’t even hesitate to use your own men. Even I’m feeling a bit afraid of you!”

Boom!

The thunderflame gale prison blew away with a loud noise to reveal the sinister smiling seventh elder. Yet now he held another centipede chain in his hand, this one black.

The two chains formed a helix around him, sparing his life from the dreadful attack. But even so, his body was littered with burn marks, and one could even see the bone in some places as blood seeped out.

It was obvious that he survived because of these chains.

And that too against the true power of the Thunderflame Gale Array.

After spitting some burning blood, the seventh elder gasped, but his wicked eyes never left Zhuo Fan for a moment.

“Kid, I have always been quick to pick up on things related to my enemies everywhere I went, but today you almost had me killed! I have to admit, I never met such dreadful brat in my life.”

Zhuo Fan looked over to see Xue Ningxiang unconscious at his feet. But she wasn’t dead. Perhaps the chain helix protected her the same way it protected the elder.

But it wasn’t like Zhuo Fan cared if she lived or died. He just kept staring at the black centipede chain, “You have another 4th-grade demonic treasure?”

“He-he-he, I used to have only one!”

The seventh elder joined the two centipede chains together to form a black and white chain, “This 4th-grade demonic treasure, Yin Yang Chains are of one body. I usually attack with the yang chain and use the yin chain to kill my enemy at the right time. But to save myself today, you forced me to reveal my yin chain. You should be proud of that. Even Profound Heaven experts only figure out the truth at the moment of their deaths!”

Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth, “The Insidious Demon title fits you like a glove! You were willing to suffer a heavy wound just to keep this move hidden!”

“But of course!”

The seventh elder coughed blood twice but his face still retained the sinister smile, “With how the world is filled with lies and schemes, I prefer to keep my strongest move hidden. That is why my ploys always succeed while the ones against me fail!”

“But today is the exception!”

The seventh elder’s eyes flashed and threw the yang chain at Zhuo Fan and the yin chain at Xie Tianyang as he roared, “Too bad you’re out of tricks and can’t beat me!”

“I beg to differ.” Zhuo Fan smirked and made a hand sign, making a bloody light fly out of Xue Ningxiang towards the seventh elder.

The elder was seriously hurt and the chains were far away. Zhuo Fan watched him like a hawk just to find if he also had a defensive demonic treasure.

This way he could put Blood Infant to good use.

In his sorry state, if Blood Infant was to get inside the seventh elder, he’d be refined without even a means to resist.

This was Zhuo Fan’s true killing move. Even the thunderflame gale prison was only used as bait to reveal all the elder’s cards.

Zhuo Fan refused to believe a man with the Insidious Demon fame had no hidden means to save himself.

“Demonic creature!”

On the other hand, the seventh elder was startled by the bloody light. He now figured out what Zhuo Fan really intended when he said Xue Ningxiang was the bait.

It wasn’t just to trap him in the thunderflame gale prison but to also hide a killing move. With how close he was to her, he had no way of dodging.

Insidious Demon had to admire Zhuo Fan’s cunning mind for beating him at every turn.

Zhuo Fan was expectant of victory as he smiled, “It’s over, seventh elder. This fight is my win…”

Suddenly, the seventh elder’s yang chain pierced through Zhuo Fan’s chest. He felt his heart being crushed. A large hole was left behind on his body, with pieces of his heart here and there.

“This is impossible…”

Zhuo Fan was confident that the Blood Infant would gain control of the seventh elder once it entered him, also stopping the yang chain’s attack.

But the truth was, the chain never stopped. Zhuo Fan even felt his organs withering and seeping life force.

This wasn’t caused by the chain, but by Blood Infant’s injury!
