Chapter 11 - I Am the One (2/2)

Although not everyone had totem pillars, there were still almost fifty of them planted around the demon.

As someone who had been pressured to the extent of almost being incapable of moving, Zhong Yue knew how strong these totem pillars were, and now, around fifty of them were thrown out!

The pressure now should be over twenty times stronger than what he experienced!

As the totem pillars were activated, a wave of pressure surged throughout the battlefield that forced the Mantis Demons onto the ground.

After the lightning ball dispersed, the mutated demon remained standing in the middle of the pillars as if he was oblivious to the pressure!

The mutated demon turned its head sternly with its eyes showing an intense desire for blood as it stared at Ting Lanyue. He licked his lips and said, "Little heifer… I like to conquer pretty heifers like you…"

Ting Lanyue's forehead started to drip cold sweat, and when she saw some disciples trying to kill the mutated demon with their soul weapons, she shouted, "Stop! Mutated demons are very resistant to conventional soul weapons, and we have yet to master the [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill] completely. It would be useless against it right now! Now, split up into groups of ten and escape in different paths, save yourselves!"

Before she could even finish, strange marks emerged from the skin of the trapped mutated demon—they were the natural markings of mutated mantis demons! Ting Lanyue's face changed when she saw the markings and shouted again, "Hurry up! We will die here if we do not act now!"

She knew deeply of the horrifying strength of these mutated Mantis Demons. They were not only strong, fast, and resilient. They also had these natural markings of totems that could imbue them with immense power. The emergence of these markings on the trapped mutated demon now could only mean that it was trying to unleash his full power to extricate itself from the disciples' totem pillars!

With the power of this mutated demon, it would be as easy as pie to slaughter all the upper house disciples. Its speed exceeded what anyone of them could ever fathom, therefore, if the upper house disciples did not act fast, perhaps none of them would be able to survive!

He Chengchuan and the others also realized the situation was beginning to develop toward a dreadful outcome as they quickly escaped in all directions in groups of ten.

Zhong Yue followed behind Ting Lanyue, and he inadvertently looked behind him. He came to realize that the totem markings on the mutated demon's body grew more lustrous than before. The pillars then started to vibrate incessantly and eventually loosened. The mutated demon would shatter the shackles of the pillars anytime soon!

While everyone was running as fast as they could and the moment that Zhong Yue looked behind, a totem pillar was launched into the air and pulverized to pieces.

Pak Pak Pak!!

Within a few seconds, the totem pillars were launched and shattered one by one in the air.

Swoosh——

With his ghostly movement speed, the mutated demon dashed toward Ting Lanyue and Zhong Yue's group!

Suddenly, Zhong Yue asked in his psyche ocean, "Xin Huo, with my power now, will I be able to defeat this mutated demon?"

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo was stunned for awhile and then said insouciantly, "Defeating it? He has the protection of the natural totem marks, and they are unlike that of an ordinary totem pillar. The chances are that you will die before you could kill him! But…"

Xin Huo stopped talking, and Zhong Yue immediately asked, "But what?"

"But if you transformed into the Sui Sovereigns' Form, you might have the chance to win. With the Sui Sovereigns' Form to amplify the power of the low-class [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill], you might be able to win."

Xing Huo continued, "However, I cannot guarantee your odds of winning. After all, you are not a pure-blood Fuxi—a pure-blood Fuxi would be able to slay this mutated demon quickly.

Zhong Yue stopped as Ting Lanyue, and the others continued running forward without realizing that Zhong Yue did not follow behind them.

"If a pure-blood celestial race could do it, I believe I can as well!"

Zhong Yue turned and rushed toward the mutated demon.

The mutated demon roared, and the markings on his body started to glow one by one. As the markings glowed, his speed increased, and his scythe arms continued to sharpen.

Whereas for Zhong Yue, as he strode forward, his psyche in his psyche ocean gushed out and formed into the Sui Sovereign as the head of a dragon, body of a human and tail of a snake came into being. The Sui Sovereign's height reached a hundred feet and stood staunchly behind Zhong Yue!

As the Sui Sovereign coalesced, Zhong Yue felt endless strength surging into his body!

"[Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill], the spring thunderbolt that struck away winter, the radiance of the lightning that shined upon the nine provinces!"

Zhong Yue shouted, and a thunderbolt exploded from under his legs, lifting him up to fly in the air. The next moment, the roar of lightning reverberated throughout!

At the same moment, Ting Lanyue turned and realized Zhong Yue's absence. Shocked, she said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong has not practiced any advanced techniques, making him slower than the others…"

She immediately returned to the location they were at before they started fleeing. Shen then look up all of a sudden to see a young man dancing in the skies on a stage of thunderlight. His hands were grasping onto something invisible as if it were wielding a massive sword, slashing toward the mutated demon!

The strike then erupted into a huge lake of lightning that spread across the skies!

At the same time as the strike exploded, Ting Lanyue exclaimed in astonishment, "The true quintessence of the [Spring Thunderbolt Sword Skill]."
