Chapter 444 - An Equal Opponent (1/2)

Behind him, a plume of black smoke billowed up to the sky. And from the dark smoke came the sounds of heavy breathing. Two bright eyes were also visible within it like fireballs!

A huge demonic creature walked out from the dark smoke, it stood and was was like a giant man. It had a wild and ruthless air, and its eyes were calloused and emotionless!

Its presence was virtually undetectable, to the point that even Zhong Yue was unable to see where it had come from.

"Similar to those of the Gui Shen Celestial Race…"

Zhong Yue exclaimed as he thought. The Gui Shen Celestial Race was a race of natural assassins. They could hide inside the dimensions and completely disappear from the senses of others. Clearly, the demon slave had the same talent as well!

Yan Zhen stared coldly at Zhong Yue and said solemnly, "Demon slave, he is mine. You will take care of the girl!"

The demon slave then let out a deep roar, and it disappeared into thin air.

Krong——

Immediately as the beast disappeared, Qiu Jin'er's heart stiffened up. Just right when she leaped backward, the place where she stood before sunk into the ground as an invisible fist punched it!

The young lady was moving backward quickly and left a trail of craters on the ground due to the beast's punches.

In stark contrast to the Gui Shen Celestial Race that Zhong Yue had encountered before, the Gui Shen experts would have to come out from the void in order to strike. This demon slave able to strikes from within the void itself. It was evident that this demon slave was stronger than the Gui Shen Celestial Race at their own strength!

Suddenly, Qiu Jin'er's face changed slightly. She pushed her hands out and clashed with the invisible fist. Immediately as the strikes crashed together, the young lady was pushed out and sent flying away!

Qiu Jin'er then muffled a groan, the tip of her feet dipped on the ground, and she forcibly changed directions.

Chi!

A long and narrow line of blood appeared on her light-complexioned neck. It was a wound created from the demonic beast's claws!

Hu——

A wave of breeze blew at her face, and Qiu Jin'er hastily moved backward. A long trail of marks was left on the ground by the demon slave's tail as it chased after her.

Qiu Jin'er was constantly moving and evading the demons slaves attacks.

Even she had the thought of attacking, and she wouldn't be able to do so either as she couldn't see where the demon slave was.

But no matter how quickly and swiftly she moved, it was still impossible to evade all the attacks. Thus, the demon slave was able to inflict wounds on her body time after time.

Its attacks contained the demonic element that corroded her mortal body and inflicted damage even to her Yuan Shen. After all, she wasn't Zhong Yue, and she didn't have the same resistance he did against the demonic element. The demonic element was now suppressing her Immortal Body and impeding it from working. It could be said as the natural counter to the Immortal Body!

Suddenly, the demon slave stopped chasing after her. Qiu Jin'er's heart immediately tensed up even more than before. It was even more dangerous for the demon slave to stop chasing, after all, as if the demon beast stopped moving, she wouldn't be able to detect its movements!

And if the demon slave were to sneak to her side, she would not be able to react its killing blow!

Qiu Jin'er flashed around like a waltzing butterfly, flitting about the nearly five to six-mile-wide battlefield.

Suddenly, she stopped. She heaved a breath of relief and a bright smile radiated across her face.

" [Burying Sword Art] !" Qiu Jin'er mumbled, and suddenly, sword-shaped stone tablets extruded out from the ground. The nearly six-mile-wide battlefield turned into a forest of sword tablets, leaving only little gaps between each other.

" [Planting Sword Art] !"

Between the sword tablets, lively plants were growing vigorously, they filled the gaps and extended out for another five miles out from the sword tablets. These plants were also shaped like the swords, leaves and grasses, stems and roots, swaying along with the breeze.

She then continued chanting.

" [Streaming Sword Art] !"

Water then flowed out from the ground, soaking the grass and connecting the sword tablets together.

" [Burning Sword Art] !"

A fire then burst out from the top of the sword tablets and turned into many little soaring dragons, hovering above the water.

" [Volt Sword Art] !"

Qiu Jin'er opened her mouth, and a golden core exited out of her mouth. She raised her hand, grabbed at the golden core, and swung her hand down with great force.

Vrummmm——

A tens of feet-long dazzling Sword Qi shot out from the golden core!

This was the Great Boundless Sword Array! The five elements of nature engendered one another, and they turned a six-mile-wide space into its sword array formation!

While a loud bellowing sound was resounding in the sword array and blood sprinkled in the air. The demon slave was caught in the sword array and roared in pain. The greatly wounded beast then held itself together and forcibly pressed through the attacks toward as it traipsed toward Qiu Jin'er.

While on the other end of the battlefield, Zhong Yue said placidly, "Brother, your demon slave is dead for sure. My junior martial sister's sword array is something even I don't want to tamper with and could only strike from the outside out of the sword array."

"That's fairly to say the same for my demon slave. I have fed it with many treasures, and thus, its mortal body has become so strong that even I can't compete with it!"

Yan Zhen sucked in a long breath of air, and his body bulged out, and the raging arcane energy surged out to the surroundings, turning into an Avatar of a hundred-armed demon god!

"But my strength is still beyond its level!" Yan Zhen then shouted.

Zhong Yue's face turned solemn. The Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners flew up into the hands of the demon god Avatar. The demon god clenched on the banners and formed an array formation, powering the godly demonic array formation to its limit!

A strong opponent!
