1448 Barrier in the Heart Gone (1/2)
The ninth altar was the head of the nine Demonic Flame Altars, so it required much more energy than the other eight altars. Specifically, it needed twice as much as the energy as any single altar of the other eight needed. It was basically an extremely difficult job to complete it. However, because the Honor Demon kept slaughtering like a mad man, the ninth altar was closer and closer to completion!
The gate in the sky was clearer and clearer. It was going to be finished soon!
It was the Honor Demon's first time to see the Gate to the Great Demon, so he was glad, laughing out loud. He said, ”Ye Xiao, you are just some powerless ants. How dare you ever try to stop the Gate to the Great Demon? You can't! Hah, hah, hah…”
The Honor Demon was gasping hard at the moment after staying in the tough fight for a long time. Even though he was such a powerful cultivator, the long term strain on himself had almost exhausted him to the last bit of energy. However, he was excited, which made him look much better than Ye Xiao and the others.
Ye Xiao was looking forward to the movement of Erhuo, but nothing happened yet. Ye Xiao thought for a while, having all information in mind, and he was finally enlightened. The third altar was obviously destroyed, and the nine altars formation was broken. Why was the Gate to the Great Demon still activated?
There was only one explanation. The Gate to the Great Demon needed the energy from the nine Demonic Flame Altars, but as soon as each altar of the nine got the flame lit up, the formation of nine altars had taken the energy from it. That was why destroying one of the altars wouldn't make any big difference.
In other words, there was no way to stop the Gate to the Great Demon from showing up, except destroying all the nine altars!
People heard the Honor Demon's crazy laugh, and they were all frightened. All of a sudden, a huge sound cracked in the sky. Behind the ink jade door, the sound of somebody talking came out, ”Where is this Gate to the Great Demon from? Is there a new realm going to become a part of the Demon's Realm?”
”Hurry up!”
”I want to get through this gate!”
”Ah! I can smell the delicious flesh from the other side… I miss that taste… It is fabulous… Hah, hah, hah, hah…”
Ye Xiao and the others were all terrified!
[The demons are real!]
[There are demons for real!]
It seemed the Honor Demon didn't waste the great efforts he had put into the great plan. He was going to connect the Demon's Realm any minute soon.
The dark fog kept rolling around the gate like a boiling dark water in the pot. Shadows of some strange beasts in weird shapes appeared in the sky…
The cultivators all felt the destructive power from the demons, and they were all shaking because of fright.
They could tell by sensing the demons on the other side of the gate that if these demons got through, nobody would be able to defeat them!
Any one of those demons was much more powerful than the Honor Demon!
If they didn't saw the demons with their own eyes, they would never believe that there were actually such incredibly powerful demonic creatures! This was a nightmare that they couldn't even stand seeing in imagination!
It was bloodcurdling!
Those monsters were too strong!
As the battle went to the current situation, it seemed they were not going to stop the Gate to the Great Demon from opening…
The smoke on the ninth altar was getting denser and denser, and the Gate to the Great Demon was becoming more and more realistic…
At this particular moment, a cracking sound rang up from nowhere!
People thought that it was the sound of the Gate to the Great Demon opening up after breaking through the boundary, so they started to tremble in fear. While they looked to the gate in desperation…
It was a such a surprise… They saw the door frame of the Gate to the Great Demon broken.
The dark qi around the gate started to become disordered. It seemed the Gate to the Great Demon was not going to be completed…
The monsters on the other side of the gate started to shout in chaos.
”What the hell is going on? Why is the tunnel unstable?”
”Open the damn door now! Open it now…”
”Damn it! Let me get over it…”
However, the monsters' voice was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed they were getting further and further away…
The Honor Demon turned around and looked over with a pair of fierce eyes, and he was shocked… The fourth altar, which had been completed, had its flame put off.
The seven great cultivators who were guarding the altar all became ashes in destruction!
The entire altar was collapsing… The bones that the altar was built with started to become ashes bit by bit… The altar broke down completely…
Another altar got destroyed!
Ye Xiao was so glad to see it happening. It was just like he was expecting. When one of the nine Demonic Flame Altars was destroyed, the Gate to the Great Demon would be affected, but not so much. As long as the altars kept going down one by one, the Gate to the Great Demon would definitely fail to open. The fourth altar was down, and the Gate to the Great Demon started to shake—the demons on the other side of the gate were leaving! It proved Ye Xiao's theory right!
”Who is it? Who did this? Who?” The Honor Demon was shouting. His eyes almost popped out of the eye frames. It was so close. He almost got to finish the Gate to the Great Demon, yet two of the nine Demonic Flame Altars were destroyed!
They just collapsed, without any signs beforehand. It was unbelievable!
The Honor Demon felt like the flame of anger was burning inside his body!
He rushed to the place where the two destructed altars were located. Ye Xiao and the others kept everything they could to stop the Honor Demon; they even started to burn their life energy. However, the Honor Demon was totally mad. He didn't care about anything anymore. He didn't mind if he was going to get hurt or killed… He didn't care… All he wanted to do was to rush over to the altars and check on them.
He wanted to know what was happening. He wanted to know what destroyed the two altars! He wanted to know who did it!
He had to find out who took away his great opportunity to fulfill his life goal!
This was the moment he showed his true incredible power. Xuan Bing, Jun Yinglian, Xue Danru, and the others… Whoever was touched by the crazy Honor Demon would be blown away with a mouthful of blood leaving their mouth… Whoever got hit by such unbelievable attack would immediately lose all the power to fight…
If the Honor Demon hadn't gone mad, he might make a casual palm hit on these people, and these people would definitely die right away!
However, the Honor Demon didn't have time to even think of killing the enemies. He just kept shouting, yelling, murmuring… Some black demonic blood came out of his mouth. The dark silk on his face was gone for quite some time now. His ugly and evil face was revealed. The only thought he had in the head was to find out who destroyed his beloved altars.
Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang both made a long sigh. The two brothers stood in the front, holding their weapons up, a sword and a saber at the same time. They burned out the last bit of their power to get ready to attack the Honor Demon when he approached them.
The last crash!
The Honor Demon was completely mad. Perhaps, after this crash, Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang would die…
However, they had to do it!
The battle against demons was a battle they were willing to die for! There wouldn't be regret in their heart no matter how it ended!
The two of them shouted at the same time and rushed fast forward.
The Honor Demon's eyes were full of craziness as he said, ”Die!”
His two hands were wrapped by some raging demonic qi while he was making a slash with the two hands. It seemed his attack was going to destroy the world.
At this moment…
Two broad stream of glaring sword light approached at lightning speed like two big rainbows. The sword light took a move later but arrived earlier. When the Honor Demon was about to hit the two brothers, the sword light appeared right between the two sides and blocked the Honor Demon's attack!
The Honor Demon seemed to be much more powerful than ever before, but in fact, he was now less than ten percent as powerful as he had been. That aside, even though he was only ten percent powerful now, ordinary cultivators did not have the power to block his attack.
The two glaring lights in white color were not from some ordinary cultivators, but from two of the most powerful cultivators in the world!
Ye Xiao realized that somebody had come to help, and he felt relieved. As he felt relieved, he started to feel so exhausted that he almost closed the eyes. He tried so hard not to let his eyelids fall, and he looked to the place where the sword lights came from.
There were two cultivators, who were both in white clothes, standing straight up like two giant mountains after stopping the Honor Demon's fierce attack.
Well, they not only stopped the Honor Demon, but also forced the Honor Demon backward again and again with the two swords in their hands.
