1447 The Gate to the Great Demon (1/2)

The next moment, Ye Xiao flashed over at his fastest speed. The Stars Sword was back and firmly held in his hand. As he looked into the short fatty's eyes, he blandly said, ”Go now. Go in peace. Be the demonic soul that you are meant to be! Go to the end where all the demonic creatures end!”

The short fatty showed a hint of despair in the eyes, and then surprisingly, he started to smile, laughing at himself while staring at Ye Xiao. In a low voice, he said, ”Monarch Ye, can I ask you a favor?”

Ye Xiao said, ”What is it?”

The short fatty bitterly smiled and said, ”I heard it from the Red in the Sky. Monarch Ye, you know Master Bai. If someday you meet Master Bai, please bring him a word for me.”

Ye Xiao stared at him and said, ”Master Bai? Who are you?”

The short fatty laughed and said, ”Just tell him… the Fatty Saint is sorry.”

After the last word, he started to laugh like a mad man, and then fell back to the floor.

The short fatty hit the floor with a deep sound, and suddenly, his fat body was broken into pieces. Some dark demonic qi came out from the dead body and gathered to the shape of the short fatty. It was exactly the appearance of the man, with ears and eyes, staring at Ye Xiao, like he was going to say something. However, before anything happened, the Honor Demon shouted.

”Demonic soul comes!”

A strong power appeared from nowhere, fiercely dragging the short fatty's soul to the altars.

Ye Xiao saw it and he shouted. The purple qi shined around the Stars Sword again, and he made a slash on the short fatty's soul. However, unexpectedly, the wonderful purple qi which had always done a great job in the battle did not do anything on the soul. It couldn't stop the demonic soul of the Fatty Saint from going into the altar!

With a slight flicking sound, the demonic flame on the sixth altar rose up, and it became yellow in color! It was the yellow demonic flame!

The sixth altar was completed in the battle!

After the sixth altar was finished, the seventh altar started to be surrounded by some dark smoke.

The Honor Demon saw one more altar completed, so he was glad. He laughed loudly and said, ”Ye Xiao, did you see this? All the hard work you did are meaningless. Your effort won't make any difference. You are only going to offer your soul energy to my great altars! That is all!”

Ye Xiao coldly smiled and said, ”Oh, really? Do you really think so? Just be patient. You will see your altars fall into pieces in my hands!”

The Honor Demon laughed wildly. Suddenly, he moved with a flash. Eight hands of him appeared to block the attacks from Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. A cloud of dark qi suddenly came out from inside his body, and then formed into a person, who then rushed into the crowd in lightning speed.

After that, people's screeching sounded up everywhere. Within a second, four superior cultivators of the Qiong-Hua Palace and three superior cultivators of the Misty Cloud Palace died one by one under the attack from the Honor Demon's shadow!

The dark shadow took seven lives with one strike, and then moved back to the Honor Demon in no time, back to the fight against Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. The Honor Demon arrogantly started to laugh, as if he had already conquered the entire world.

The seven people who were killed by his shadow attack immediately became dried corpses. All the energy of the seven people was dragged into the seventh altar!

Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang was furious as they saw how the man slaughtered seven good cultivators. They raised their sword and saber together, and rushed toward the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was laughing wildly and said, ”You are overrating yourselves! Do you really think you can stop me from killing whoever I want dead?”

Then he moved with a flash again, and another shadow appeared, in the shape of himself, rushing into the crowd and started killing. The crowd burst into a wave of screech, and over a dozen good men died in the Honor Demon's attack.

The dark shadow finished the slaughter again, and then it returned to the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon laughed even harder, and he said, ”Look at me. I am invincible here! Ye Xiao, Li Wuliang, listen! You better just kill yourselves now! If you want me to do it, it is not going to be easy! Do you really want to suffer? The longer you hold on in this battle, the more powerless you will feel about yourselves!”

Ye Xiao's eyes were full of coldness. He didn't say a word and just kept attacking.

In the middle of the fight, when things got dangerous, Ye Xiao actually did the same thing as the Honor Demon. He moved with a flash and created a shadow of his own, which then rushed into the crowd with the splendid sword light. Over thirty Demon Soul Dao superior cultivators screeched after getting hit and then became a cloud of dark smoke.

The Red in the Sky knew how deadly powerful it was, so he did everything he could to avoid being hit by Ye Xiao's shadow attacks. However, unexpectedly, Ye Xiao gave up the fight up in the sky and started to chase after the Red in the Sky. His sword kept creating energy flows that flew over to the Red in the Sky. The Red in the Sky's body got hit again and again, and kept bleeding all over the body. As he kept screeching, he flew up to the sky toward the battle in the air.

There was a hint of entreaty in his eyes, and he said, ”Master… Please…”

The Honor Demon blinked and frowned. The Red in the Sky was different from the short fatty. The Red in the Sky was still useful for the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was going to save him, but another dark shadow appeared between the Honor Demon and the Red in the Sky, who hastily said, ”Master… Please…”

Two men begged for help at the same time.

The Honor Demon was surprised, but the dark shadow had already arrived.

Yue Shuang stuck out her sword to make an attack on the dark shadow. However, she was surprised that the dark shadow moved so weirdly. The shadow made a turn and then rushed toward the Honor Demon in lightning speed. The hint of entreaty in his eyes was gone, and it became the fever for blood!

While the man was rushing to the Honor Demon, the long sword in his hand flew out and fiercely stabbed into the Red in the Sky's heart!

The Red in the Sky stared at the man who attacked him by surprise, and his eyes turned all red. He then shouted at the man and said, ”Hai Zhonglong! Are you out of your mind!”

The man laughed wildly and said to Ye Xiao, ”Ye Xiao! Look at me now! Today, I want you to know that Master Bai's men do not all win fame by deceiving the public! There are heroes too!”

Before he finished talking, he had already held the Honor Demon in arms. The next moment, he directly exploded himself to hurt the Honor Demon!

When the man rushed toward the Honor Demon, he was so close to the Honor Demon that he didn't even have time to turn to look at the Red in the Sky while flying out with the sword attack. When he got to the Honor Demon, he just held the Honor Demon in arms roughly. Sometimes, the simplest way was the best way.

The Honor Demon was still thinking. [What the hell is going on here? Why did he come and hug my just like this? What does he want?] Before he realized what happened, that man had already exploded himself!

- Boom! - A big explosion appeared.

What Hai Zhonglong did was too surprising. It was unpredictable and unbelievable. Even Han Bingxue and some others were blown away by the energy wave of the explosion. The Honor Demon, who was the target, screeched and shouted when his one arm was broken away!

Half of his body was dark like hard coke.

The Honor Demon was terribly provoked. He shouted and said, ”Hai Zhonglong! What the f*ck have you done…”

However, the man, Hai Zhonglong, had already become some blood and flesh, who definitely could not hear the Honor Demon. No matter what the Honor Demon said, Hai Zhonglong wouldn't be able to listen.

Ye Xiao was shocked as he saw the self-explosion happen. However, there was an indescribable hint of respect in his eyes.

”Three thousand years ago, other than Wan of the Clouds and Xiu of the Heavens, Master Bai had two other great assistants in his House of Chaotic Storms. One was called the Man's King on the Lang, while the other was called the Dragon's King in the Sea! I thought it was impossible to see the legends since it had been three thousand years since their prime days. What a surprise! Today, I saw the legendary Dragon's King in the Sea! The man deserved his fame!

”Rest in peace!

”There are indeed heroes who worked for Master Bai!”

I

Ye Xiao solemnly said, ”I admit it. know it. I will bring your message to where you want your words to be heard!”

The Red in the Sky was bleeding severely in his chest. His eyes looked demoralized, and he said, ”Is it true? There are heroes who worked for Master Bai… I… Am I a hero?”

He bitterly smiled and said, ”Hai Zhonglong, I am not as good as you…”

Then he closed his eyes and passed away.

Within one second, his body became a dried corpse.

In fact, the Red in the Sky should be better than this because of his strong cultivation foundation. Even though he got wounded in the chest, Hai Zhonglong's attack wasn't enhanced by the purple qi, so it didn't create a lasting impact on the wound. The Red in the Sky should be healed pretty fast by the demonic qi inside him. If he stayed alive for a while, the Honor Demon might be able to catch up and save him. However, Hai Zhonglong gave a speech that touched people's heart before he sacrificed himself. What he said influenced the Red in the Sky. All of a sudden, the Red in the Sky didn't want to live such a nasty life anymore. That was why the injury in his chest took his life so soon!

Hai Zhonglong's surprising interruption turned over the battle situation. Han Bingxue and Li Wuliang held the sword and saber to start a new round of attacks against the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon was severely injured, but the dark qi seemed to be curing him fast. Some dark qi was wrapping up his shoulder where his arm got blown off, and a new arm was forming up bit by bit in the dark qi.

The Honor Demon still had one hand to fight against the joint attacks from the eight superior cultivators. He seemed to be casual like it was an easy job, but he was gritting his teeth and looking extremely fierce!

”I am not going to spare any of you!”

”When my Demonic Flame Altars are all completed and the Gate to the Great Demon is open, I will extract your souls one by one!” The Honor Demon was shouting, ”I am going to torture you for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years! Ahhhh…”

A broad stream of glaring sword light appeared again. It was Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing, who had been awake now, attacking in a dash.

The supreme dan beads might seem to be cheap cabbages in Ye Xiao's pocket, but the dan beads were all valuable treasures that only existed in myths. Every single one of the dan beads was priceless, especially those that were used on particular aims.

If not for Erhuo, the incredible cheating dan-making machine, it would be harder than flying up to the heavens to get one of those dan beads. Xuan Bing had been severely injured and got lost in a coma, but her cultivation foundation was unharmed. After eating some supreme dan beads which recovered energy and healed her wounds, with a slight effort to absorb the dan bead, she was sixty percent back to the prime status. Those were such fabulous dan beads! It was unbelievable, but it was reasonable!

Now, there were ten superior cultivators encircling the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon had been injured a lot, so he didn't seem to be so indestructible now, and the union's army seemed to be taking the higher position in the battle. However, the Honor Demon's new arm was growing out bit by bit!

Jun Yinglian, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were all experts in cultivation. They knew how two arms were much better than one arm while a man was in a fight. Once the Honor Demon had his arm back, things would be turned over again. The ladies were anxious and worried, but they just couldn't defeat the Honor Demon any sooner.

As the war went on, more and more people died in the battle. Over half of the Demon Soul Dao's superior cultivators were dead, and seven of the Demonic Flame Altars were completed. After the Red in the Sky died, the seventh altar was completed, too, and the flame was lighted up. The eighth altar started to show dark smoke now…

As it was seen, the nine Demonic Flame Altars were going to be all completed soon.

The Honor Demon was not so strong now but still impossible to kill.

The union's army had all the best cultivators in the world together to fight against the Demon Soul Dao this time. Were they going to lose?

Even though they wouldn't regret as long as they died in the battle, the hatred would stay deep in their hearts even after they died!

On the other side, Jun Yinglian, the former prime master of the Ice Cloud Palace, was leading many people to attack the eighth altar, alongside with Wenren Chuchu.

Wenren Chuchu was such a smart girl. She figured out the only way to win the war was to destroy one of the nine altars before they were all completed. If they couldn't, they would lose the war. Each of the nine altars was all guarded by seven great cultivators. The third altar had lost its guards because of Xuan Bing's incredible attacks. However, the Honor Demon was the closest to the third alter. Wenren Chuchu knew that if they turned to attack the third altar, the Honor Demon would kill them all immediately. That was why she decided to gather some good men to attack the eighth altar, which hadn't been completed yet.

What Wenren Chuchu and Jun Yinglian chose to do was right, but they were not powerful enough to do it. The seven great cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao who guarded the eighth altar were all at the Cage Phase. The ladies couldn't break through their protection, and their plan seemed to be a failure.

The battle kept going. Things were getting worse for the union of all sects in the Qing-Yun Realm.

However, when the Honor Demon nearly got his arm back and took control of the war, he seemed to be shocked all of a sudden. He angrily said with a shout, ”What the hell is going on?”

For the first time, the Honor Demon felt astounded and anxious. He made over ten attacking energy flows to drive away the people who encircled him, and then tried to get back to the altar.

Apparently, something went wrong on his side. Things didn't follow his clever plan. It must be a big problem, so big, that the Honor Demon could not even spend a little longer to wait for the new arm to come out completed!

Ye Xiao saw what he was going to do, so he shouted and said, ”Stop him right now!”

The others didn't know what was happening and why Ye Xiao was so anxious, but they believed in Ye Xiao, so they all did their best trying to stop the Honor Demon. The Honor Demon kept roaring and making attacking flows, but he couldn't get rid of everybody. Without other alternatives, he moved aside with a flash and made seven shadows of himself, rushing toward the altar together.

If the Honor Demon had a choice, he would not do the shadow clone technique again under such a situation. The shadow clone technique was fabulous, and the shadows he created were like real persons with real cultivation power. The only shortage was that they couldn't last long, and except that, it was a perfect technique. To operate such an amazing technique, it took him a lot of energy. If the Honor Demon was in his prime state, it would be just a piece of cake. However, he had been weakened and injured during the fights earlier, and he got severely damaged by the self-explosion of Hai Zhonglong. He was no longer powerful enough to operate that shadow clone technique freely.

Things changed, and he had to check out what had happened, so he used the special technique anyway, and he was running it in an extreme level, making seven shadows at a time. Any one of the seven shadows made it to the altar in time—it might solve the problem for him before it was too late!
