gǔ mó yǒu rú cǐ shí lì bù suàn xī qí ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo kě jiù zhe shí ràng rén jīng è ， zhè nǎ xiàng lí hé chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì yī míng zhōng qī de yāo zú ， yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， yě miǎn bù liǎo jīn duàn gǔ zhé ， bù ………… jiù suàn shì wàn jiāo wáng ， kǒng pà yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
古魔有如此实力不算稀奇，这小家伙可就着实让人惊愕，这哪像离合初期的修仙者，就算是一名中期的妖族，与他易地而处，也免不了筋断骨折，不…………就算是万蛟王，恐怕也抵挡不住。
The ancient demon's strength wasn't particularly remarkable, but this young fellow truly left everyone in awe. This didn’t seem like a cultivator at the early stage of Separation and Union; even if he were an intermediate-grade monster, exchanging places with him would surely result in broken bones and torn muscles. And even the Ten Thousand Serpent King might not be able to withstand it.
tíng lóu zhēng dòu de jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， qǐ huì kàn bù chū gǔ mó zhè yī quán de kě pà zhī chù 。
亭楼争斗的经验何等丰富，岂会看不出古魔这一拳的可怕之处。
The experience of fighting in a pavilion was incredibly rich; how could one fail to notice the terrifying power contained within that punch?
lǐ miàn bāo hán le mǒu zhǒng guī zé 。
里面包含了某种规则。
There lay some form of rule within it.
rán ér lín xuān què zhēn de jiāng tā gěi jiē xià lái le 。
然而林轩却真的将他给接下来了。
However, Lin Xuan truly managed to block it.
yāo huà hòu de fèng huáng shén zhǎo ， gù rán fā huī le yí dìng xiào guǒ ， rán ér zuì dà de gōng chén ， hái shì huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
妖化后的凤凰神爪，固然发挥了一定效果，然而最大的功臣，还是幻灵天火。
The phoenix’s divine claws after transforming into a monster had indeed played a certain role. But the greatest contributor was still the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Flame.
lín xuān de céng cì ， shàng wú fǎ jiē chù guī zé ， bù guò huàn líng tiān huǒ běn shēn ， jiù yùn hán yǒu yī xiē tiān dì de dào lǐ zài qí zhōng 。
林轩的层次，尚无法接触规则，不过幻灵天火本身，就蕴含有一些天地的道理在其中。
At Lin Xuan's level, he couldn't touch those rules directly. However, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Flame itself contained some of the principles of heaven and earth within it. Otherwise, Xi Su wouldn’t have been able to stand up to the heavenly lightning on that day.
fǒu zé dāng rì ， xī yě bù néng yǔ jié léi fēn tíng kàng lǐ 。
否则当日，牺也不能与劫雷分庭抗礼。
Three colors of light flowed by.
sān sè guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ér guò 。
三色光韵流转而过。
Cold!
hái yǒu fǔ shí ！
还有腐蚀！
Different forces worked together, actually managing to block the ancient demon's punch. Two different forces entangled in mid-air; for a moment, it was hard to determine which was stronger.
bù tóng de lì liàng ， yì qǐ fā huī xiào guǒ ， jū rán zhēn de jiāng gǔ mó de quán tou dǎng zhù ， liǎng zhǒng bù tóng de lì liàng ， zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng chán dòu ， yī shí piàn kè ， hěn nán fēn chū qiáng ruò xuán shū 。
不同的力量，一起发挥效果，居然真的将古魔的拳头挡住，两种不同的力量，在半空中互相缠斗，一时片刻，很难分出强弱悬殊。
"Impossible!"
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
The ancient demon was taken aback, but his alarmed cry came from the mouth of the white-faced scholar standing before him.
gǔ mó sǒng rán dòng róng ， rán ér jīng hū shēng ， què shì yóu tā xiōng kǒu nà bái miàn shū shēng de zuǐ zhōng fā chū 。
古魔耸然动容，然而惊呼声，却是由他胸口那白面书生的嘴中发出。
Others might not know, but he was well aware of how astonishing the Heavenly Flame of Annihilation truly was. Although driven by a fragment of his soul, it could only unleash a tiny fraction of its power, yet sweeping through the mortal world should be without any doubt.
bié rén bù xiǎo de ， dàn tā kě qīng chǔ nà fén tiān mó huǒ yǒu zhe zěn yàng de jīng rén zhī chù 。
别人不晓得，但他可清楚那焚天魔火有着怎样的惊人之处。
Absolutely invincible!
suī rán shì yóu fēn hún qū shǐ ， zhǐ néng fā huī chū jí xiǎo yī bù fèn wēi lì ， dàn bù guǎn zěn me shuō ， héng sǎo rén jiè yīng gāi shì méi yǒu sī háo xuán niàn de 。
虽然是由分魂驱使，只能发挥出极小一部分威力，但不管怎么说，横扫人界应该是没有丝毫悬念的。
But in the struggle against the three-colored flames, he ended up on the losing side. The reason for not winning outright was that he received support from the ancient demon's punch.
jué duì wú dí ！
绝对无敌！
Despite his shock and anger, he wouldn't just stand there dumbfounded. With a fierce expression in his eyes, he opened his mouth to use another divine technique.
kě yǔ duì fāng nà sān sè huǒ yàn de pīn dòu zhōng ， jū rán luò yú xià fēng ， zhī suǒ yǐ bù fēn shèng fù ， shì yīn wèi dé dào le gǔ mó quán tou lì liàng de zhī yuán bǔ chōng 。
可与对方那三色火焰的拼斗中，居然落于下风，之所以不分胜负，是因为得到了古魔拳头力量的支援补充。
An early-stage Separation and Union cultivator—could such a person really fight evenly with him? If this became known in the Demon Realm, it would surely be a laughingstock.
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng jīng nù ， rán ér tā zì rán bú huì fā dāi shén me ， yǎn zhōng lì sè yī xiǎn hòu ， zhāng kāi kǒu ， yòu yù shǐ yòng bié de shén tōng 。
尽管心中惊怒，然而他自然不会发呆什么，眼中厉色一显后，张开口，又欲使用别的神通。
The thought of Heavenly Essence Demon Ancestor was similar. His ugly face was filled with cruel expressions.
yī lí hé chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào hái zhēn néng yǔ zì jǐ dòu dé bù fēn shèng fù ” zhè shì qíng rú guǒ chuán dào mó jiè zhī zhōng ， kǒng pà yào chéng wéi tiān dà de xiào bǐng le 。
一离合初期的修仙者，难道还真能与自己斗得不分胜负”这事情如果传到魔界之中，恐怕要成为天大的笑柄了。
His right arm had been blocked by Lin Xuan, but he raised his left hand, focusing his divine sense and lifting it high. His fingers closed together—a black aura flashed over his arm, transforming it into a sharp weapon akin to an armor-piercing spike.
tiān yuán mó zǔ de xiǎng fǎ yě chà bu duō ， chǒu lòu de róng yán shàng mǎn shì bào nüè zhī sè 。
天元魔祖的想法也差不多，丑陋的容颜上满是暴虐之色。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. At their level, the ability to shape spirit energy into various forms was no longer surprising—like the sword beams and sword qi he casually produced.
tā de yī gè shǒu bì bèi lín xuān dǎng zhù ， dàn hái yǒu zuǒ shǒu ， shén niàn yī dòng ， yǐ jiāng qí gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， wǔ zhǐ hé lǒng ” yǒu hēi de mó qì shǎn guò ， tā de shǒu bì ， jū rán biàn huà chéng le yī pò jiǎ zhuī xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo le 。
他的一各手臂被林轩挡住，但还有左手，神念一动，已将其高高举起，五指合拢”黝黑的魔气闪过，他的手臂，居然变化成了一破甲锥形状的法宝了。
This was a way of flexibly utilizing energy.
lín xuān yě gǎn tàn bù yǐ ， shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge céng cì ， jiāng líng lì suí yì huàn huà chéng gè zhǒng xíng zhuàng méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí ， bǐ rú shuō tā suí yì fú yòu chū lái de jiàn máng jiàn qì 。
林轩也感叹不已，实力到了他们这个层次，将灵力随意幻化成各种形状没有分毫出奇，比如说他随意拂柚出来的剑芒剑气。
But what was different here was that his opponent had transformed his body into a weapon.
zhè suàn shì néng liàng líng huó yùn yòng de yī zhǒng fāng shì 。
这算是能量灵活运用的一种方式。
It looked somewhat similar to the拟妖术 (Imitative Beast Technique), but the actual principles were entirely different.
kě yǎn qián bù tóng ， duì fāng shì jiāng shēn tǐ fǎ bǎo huà le 。
可眼前不同，对方是将身体法宝化了。
However, there wasn't time for such reflections now.
kàn shàng qù yǔ nǐ yāo shù yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， shí jì de yuán lǐ què shì jié rán jiǒng yì de 。
看上去与拟妖术有几分相似之处，实际的原理却是截然迥异的。
That armor-piercing spike’s mere appearance was terrifying enough. Moreover, it was wrapped in black lightning arcs, and one could only imagine what kind of bizarre divine technique might be hidden within.
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ” kě méi yǒu shí jiān gǎn tàn shén me 。
不过此时此刻”可没有时间感叹什么。
Despite his curiosity, Lin Xuan had no intention of personally testing this out.
nà pò jiǎ zhuī guāng shì xíng mào ， jiù jí wéi kě bù ， hé kuàng biǎo miàn hái chán rào zhe yī dào dào yǒu hēi de diàn hú ， tiān zhī dào bāo shě zhe shén me yàng de guǐ yì shén tōng 。
那破甲锥光是形貌，就极为可怖，何况表面还缠绕着一道道黝黑的电弧，天知道包舍着什么样的诡异神通。
But at the moment, he seemed to have no time left for other divine techniques.
lín xuān hào qí xīn suī zhòng ， dàn yě jué bù yuàn yì qù qīn shēn cháng shì yī èr de 。
林轩好奇心虽重，但也绝不愿意去亲身尝试一二的。
A miss is as good as a mile.
bù guò cǐ kè ， tā sì hū yǐ jīng méi yǒu shí jiān shī zhǎn bié de shén tōng dǐ dǎng le 。
不过此刻，他似乎已经没有时间施展别的神通抵挡了。
Compared to his peers in terms of spirit energy, Lin Xuan appeared exceptionally deep and solid. But compared to the ancient demon before him, it was much thinner.
chā zhī háo lí ， miù yǐ qiān lǐ 。
差之毫厘，谬以千里。
Comparison is the thief of joy.
lín xuān fǎ lì yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， xiǎn de shēn hòu yǐ jí ” dàn xiāng duì yú yǎn qián de gǔ mó ， què bó ruò le xǔ duō 。
林轩法力与同阶修士相比，显得深厚以极”但相对于眼前的古魔，却薄弱了许多。
This proverb flashed through his mind, and he couldn’t help but think that the ancients weren't lying!
rén bǐ rén ， qì sǐ rén 。
人比人，气死人。
Facing this earth-shattering strike, Lin Xuan seemed powerless to retaliate. His face showed signs of panic, but his heart laughed inwardly.
zhè jù sú yǔ fú xiàn yú nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng ， gǔ rén chéng bù qī wǒ ！
这句俗语浮现于脑海之中，古人诚不欺我！
He silently stepped left again. The ancient demon indeed followed without hesitation.
miàn duì duì fāng shí pò tiān jīng de yī jī ， lín xuān sì hū méi yǒu huán shǒu zhī lì ， tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì huāng luàn zhī yì ， rán ér nèi xīn què lěng xiào bù yǐ
面对对方石破天惊的一击，林轩似乎没有还手之力，他的脸上满是慌乱之意，然而内心却冷笑不已
Now… this was the best angle.
bù dòng shēng sè de yòu xiàng zuǒ kuà chū yī bù ” gǔ mó guǒ rán háo bù yóu yù de gēn shàng lái le 。
不动声色的又向左跨出一步”古魔果然毫不犹豫的跟上来了。
"Little Moon, attack!"
qǐ …………… yǐ shì zuì jiā de jiǎo dù 。
起……………已是最佳的角度。
Lin Xuan shouted loudly in his mind, though no sound escaped his lips. He used divine sense to communicate with the young girl. Even if the enemy had fallen into a trap, he couldn't reveal himself too early; it would be foolish to act alone and risk being outsmarted.
“ yuè ér ， dòng shǒu ！”
“月儿，动手！”
For this cooperation, Lin Xuan had spent countless efforts. The outcome was now in his hands, so there could be no room for error.
lín xuān yī shēng bào hē ， dāng rán biǎo miàn shàng ， què méi yǒu fēn háo shēng yīn fā chū ， tā shì yòng shén niàn yǔ xiǎo yā tou lián xì ” dí rén suī yǐ shàng gōu ， dàn bú dào zuì hòu yí kè ， zěn me néng shǎ shǎ de dǎ dān jīng shé ？
林轩一声爆喝，当然表面上，却没有分毫声音发出，他是用神念与小丫头联系”敌人虽已上钩，但不到最后一刻，怎么能傻傻的打单惊蛇？
He finally managed to lure the opponent into the trap.
wèi le zhè cì pèi hé ， lín xuān huā fèi de xīn xuè bù jì qí shù ， shèng bài zài cǐ yī jǔ ” dāng rán bù néng yǒu sī háo de shū wū jiā yì 。
为了这次配合，林轩花费的心血不计其数，胜败在此一举”当然不能有丝毫的疏乌夹意。
About two meters away from him, Little Moon was already ready.
hǎo bù róng yì cái ràng duì fāng zhēn zhèng de tà rù xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
好不容易才让对方真正的踏入陷阱里。
Seeing Master少爷 (Young Master) repeatedly facing danger, Little Moon's heart was filled with cold sweat, but she hesitated due to lack of permission.
jiù zài zuǒ cè yuē liǎng zhàng yuǎn chù ， xiǎo yā tou zǎo yǐ xù shì dài fā le 。
就在左侧约两丈远处，小丫头早已蓄势待发了。
After enduring so much, she feared that acting too soon might alert the ancient demon and render all his plans in vain.
jiàn shào yé jiē lián yù xiǎn ， yuè ér xīn zhōng ， zǎo yǐ shì niē le yī bǎ lěng hàn ， zhǐ shì méi yǒu dé dào tóu yì ， bù gǎn hú luàn chū shǒu ér yǐ 。
见少爷接连遇险，月儿心中，早已是捏了一把冷汗，只是没有得到投意，不敢胡乱出手而已。
Fortunately, although Master seemed to be dancing on a knife edge, he managed to dodge each time. The隐身符 (Invisibility Talisman) truly was an upper realm treasure, its mystery reaching extreme levels.
bì jìng rěn le zhè me jiǔ ， tā yě pà dǎ cǎo jīng shé ， ràng lín xuān de jì xíng fù zhū liú shuǐ le 。
毕竟忍了这么久，她也怕打草惊蛇，让林轩的计刑付诸流水了。
The ancient demon beside him showed no reaction at all.
hǎo zài shào yé suī rú tóng zài dāo jiān shàng tiào wǔ ， měi měi què néng cóng wēi xiǎn zhōng duǒ guò ， yào shuō zhè yǐn shēn fú ， guǒ rán shì shàng jiè zhī wù ， xuán miào dào jí chù 。
好在少爷虽如同在刀尖上跳舞，每每却能从危险中躲过，要说这隐身符，果然是上界之物，玄妙到极处。
Following Master's command, Little Moon finally unleashed the energy she had been holding back for so long.
jiù zài duì fāng shēn cè ， nà gǔ mó jū rán yī sī fǎn yìng yě wú 。
就在对方身侧，那古魔居然一丝反应也无。
Her slender and delicate hands, as soft as spring onions, moved gracefully. The Illusory Moon Mystic Light Sword was equally beautiful, their reflections intermingling like gemstones.
dé dào shào yé de mìng lìng yǐ hòu ， yuè ér jī xiāo yǐ jiǔ de néng liàng zhōng yú hōng rán bó * fā le 。
得到少爷的命令以后，月儿积萧已久的能量终于轰然勃*发了。
A pale green light appeared in mid-air, with a hidden beauty that seemed to appear and disappear. It quickly transformed into a gruesome skull.
xiān měi de yù shǒu ， shí zhǐ nèn ruò chūn cōng ， huàn yuè xuán guāng jiàn tóng yàng měi lì dào jí chù ， jiāo xiāng huī yìng ， rú tóng bǎo shí bān xuàn mù 。
纤美的玉手，十指嫩若春葱，幻月玄光剑同样美丽到极处，交相辉映，如同宝石般炫目。
The terrifying attack swept towards the opponent.
yù shǒu yī fú ， xié xié de zài bàn kōng zhōng huá guò ， dòng zuò qīng róu ， bù dài yī sī rén jiān yān huǒ ， fǎng fú tiān gōng zhōng de shào nǚ zài tiào wǔ 。
玉手一拂，斜斜的在半空中划过，动作轻柔，不带一丝人间烟火，仿佛天宫中的少女在跳舞。
Suddenly appearing from the shadows, the ancient demon's teeth clattered on the ground.
yī dào qīng méng méng de guāng xiá chū xiàn le 。
一道青蒙蒙的光霞出现了。
Impossible! Even if one couldn't leave their divine sense here, he was only two meters away. How could she not have detected her presence?
nà guāng xiá zhī zhōng ， fǎng fú yǒu měi nǚ ruò yǐn ruò xiàn zhe ， dàn zhuǎn yǎn jiān ， yòu huàn huà chéng zhēng níng de kū lóu 。
那光霞之中，仿佛有美女若隐若现着，但转眼间，又幻化成狰狞的骷髅。
This ambush was timed perfectly.
kě pà de gōng jī ， cháo zhe duì fāng xí juǎn ér qù 。
可怕的攻击，朝着对方席卷而去。
The ancient demon had no way to avoid it and didn’t even have time to change his tactics. A look of fear flashed in his eyes as he reluctantly moved his body slightly left.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， miàn duì tū rán chū xiàn de shào nǚ ， gǔ mó yá chǐ diào le yī dì 。
变起仓储，面对突然出现的少女，古魔牙齿掉了一地。
It was a last-ditch effort.
bù kě néng ， jiù suàn zhè dì gōng zhī zhōng shén shí wú fǎ lí tǐ ， kě duì fāng jù lí zì jǐ bù guò liǎng zhàng yú ， zěn me kě néng fā xiàn bù liǎo tā de zōng jì
不可能，就算这地宫之中神识无法离体，可对方距离自己不过两丈余，怎么可能发现不了她的踪迹
Between two evils, the lesser one must be chosen. He managed to dodge the vital areas but that pale green light struck him hard on his back.
zhè yī cì tū xí ， shí jī ná niē dé shí zài tài hǎo le 。
这一次突袭，时机拿捏得实在太好了。
The Illusory Moon Mystic Light Sword was indeed a treasure from an immortal’s abode, though most of its power had been sealed. This strike's strength still far exceeded expectations.
gǔ mó duǒ wú kě duǒ ， yě gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān biàn zhāo dǐ dǎng shén me ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī kǒng jù zhī sè ， bǎi bān wú nài xià ， zhǐ hǎo jiāng shēn tǐ xiàng zuǒ biān shāo wēi yī cè 。
古魔躲无可躲，也根本没有时间变招抵挡什么，眼中闪过一丝恐惧之色，百般无奈下，只好将身体像左边稍微一侧。
At least it wouldn’t fall short of ordinary Heaven-piercing divine treasures.
zhè yě suàn shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ de bàn fǎ 。
这也算是没有办法的办法。
Aaah!
liǎng hài xiāng qīn qǔ qí qīng ， miǎn qiǎng bì guò le tóu jǐng de yào hài zhī chù ， dàn nà lǚ guāng xiá ， què hěn hěn de jī zhòng le xī de bèi bù 。
两害相侵取其轻，勉强避过了头颈的要害之处，但那缕光霞，却狠狠的击中了牺的背部。
An ear-splitting cry echoed as the ancient demon’s black aura on his surface was quickly shattered. Despite being heavily armored, that sword’s sharpness couldn't be stopped. A long wound nearly two meters deep ran from his shoulder to his ribs.
huàn yuè xuán guāng jiàn kě shì xiān fǔ qí zhēn ， suī rán jué dà bù fèn wēi néng ， yǐ bèi fēng yìn ， dàn zhè yī jī shèng lì zhī qiáng ， yī jiù yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò yì bān rén de xiǎng xiàng 。
幻月玄光剑可是仙府奇珍，虽然绝大部分威能，已被封印，但这一击盛力之强，依旧远远超过一般人的想象。
Rancid black blood spewed out, but Lin Xuan's face turned pale in shock. The monster's body was far more resilient than he had anticipated.
zhì shǎo bú huì xùn sè yú yì bān de tōng tiān líng bǎo 。
至少不会逊色于一般的通天灵宝。
Such a shocking blow failed to split him into two halves. However, Little Moon’s sword didn’t stop there. The skull within the light approached his wound.
áo ！
嗷！
Crunching sounds filled the air as it bit down on his flesh. It sucked and swallowed the rancid demon blood, its eyes full of black malevolence.
qī lì de cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gǔ mó shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de mó qì ， bèi xùn sù jī pò ， jǐn guǎn tā bèi hòu zhòng de lín jiǎ céng céng bāo guǒ ， dàn nà yī jiàn de fēng lì ， yī jiù dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， zhěng gè bèi bù ， cóng jiān bǎng zhì lèi gǔ ， bèi pī xià le yī gè cháng zú yǒu jìn liǎng zhàng de shāng kǒu 。
凄厉的惨叫声传入耳朵，古魔身体表面的魔气，被迅速击破，尽管他被厚重的鳞甲层层包裹，但那一剑的锋利，依旧抵挡不住，整个背部，从肩膀至肋骨，被劈下了一各长足有近两丈的伤口。
Despite his incredible resilience, the ancient demon let out a deafening cry from the pain. His left hand, transformed into an armor-piercing spike, no longer cared about attacking; even his thick aura seemed to dissipate due to the severe injury.
xīng chòu de hēi xuè pēn yǒng ér chū ， dàn lín xuān yǐ kàn dé hài rán shī shǒu jī sè ， zhè guài wù shēn tǐ de jiān yìng chéng dù ， suàn shì yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò yuán xiān de yù xiǎng le 。
腥臭的黑血喷涌而出，但林轩已看得骇然失手机色，这怪物身体的坚硬程度，算是远远超过原先的预想了。
PS: There's one more chapter tonight. I'll be updating heavily today. Please support with recommendation votes!
The ancient demon's strength wasn't particularly remarkable, but this young fellow truly left everyone in awe. This didn’t seem like a cultivator at the early stage of Separation and Union; even if he were an intermediate-grade monster, exchanging places with him would surely result in broken bones and torn muscles. And even the Ten Thousand Serpent King might not be able to withstand it.
The experience of fighting in a pavilion was incredibly rich; how could one fail to notice the terrifying power contained within that punch?
There lay some form of rule within it.
However, Lin Xuan truly managed to block it.

At Lin Xuan's level, he couldn't touch those rules directly. However, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Flame itself contained some of the principles of heaven and earth within it. Otherwise, Xi Su wouldn’t have been able to stand up to the heavenly lightning on that day.

The Illusory Moon Mystic Light Sword was indeed a treasure from an immortal’s abode, though most of its power had been sealed. This strike's strength still far exceeded expectations.
At least it wouldn’t fall short of ordinary Heaven-piercing divine treasures.
Aaah!
An ear-splitting cry echoed as the ancient demon’s black aura on his surface was quickly shattered. Despite being heavily armored, that sword’s sharpness couldn't be stopped. A long wound nearly two meters deep ran from his shoulder to his ribs.
Rancid black blood spewed out, but Lin Xuan's face turned pale in shock. The monster's body was far more resilient than he had anticipated.
Such a shocking blow failed to split him into two halves. However, Little Moon’s sword didn’t stop there. The skull within the light approached his wound.
Crunching sounds filled the air as it bit down on his flesh. It sucked and swallowed the rancid demon blood, its eyes full of black malevolence.
Despite his incredible resilience, the ancient demon let out a deafening cry from the pain. His left hand, transformed into an armor-piercing spike, no longer cared about attacking; even his thick aura seemed to dissipate due to the severe injury.
