Chapter 168: Demon Servant’s Surprise Attack, Blade Demon Appears!
Purple Spirit Jade Pendant!
Lightning Body Protection!
The newly risen purple light was instantly shattered.
However, when the blood-red light touched his body, it was mostly shredded by the five-centimeter-thick lightning protective layer.
But the impact of the spiritual art directly struck Bai Yu’s back, like a small knife cutting a thin line, causing a little blood to flow.
This minor injury could be instantly healed with a healing spell.
But Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain formed a protective ring.
He turned to look at the attacker.
It wasn’t the Red Moon Blade Demon, but a Demon Servant with deep red eyes!
His body was surging with blood qi, very much like a demonic cultivator.
Bai Yu twisted his neck, his expression showing extreme combat desire.
His mind raced, and he said, “Red Moon Blade Demon?”
His statement served two purposes: first, to show he knew about the assassination, a piece of information that could only be obtained from official channels, and the other side would surely guess this.
Treating others as fools would only make oneself appear foolish.
Second, to feign ignorance. The opponent might think Bai Yu had mistaken them and lower their guard, increasing the chance they would attack.
If a single sentence could make the opponent decide to kill him and reveal themselves, then the sword hanging over Bai Yu’s head would finally fall.
To deal with this assassin.
Bai Yu would naturally use the power of the Third Page to obliterate him!
Somewhere in the shadows.
The Demon Sorcerer watched with excitement as Bai Yu was about to defeat the Moon Demon.
Eliminating Kang Yi’s pawns was his goal!
After all, the Demon Race had not yet established itself in the Ninth Administrative District. If Kang Yi died, he would become the Demon spokesperson.
Moreover, seeing how strong Bai Yu was, he couldn’t help but clench his fist.
“That dog Kang Yi clearly sent me to my death!”
However, the sudden appearance of the Demon Servant made the Demon Sorcerer frown. He asked, “Who is this?”
As soon as he asked, Bai Yu said, “Red Moon Blade Demon.”
“Red Moon Blade Demon? That guy must have more strength than this! This should be his Demon Servant.”
The fair-skinned man beside him smiled and said, “He might have mistaken them, or he might be pretending.”
“Oh? Is there a story behind this?”
“Yes, Brother Red Moon accepted a mission from the Shadow Alliance to kill his team. However, he is always cautious, so it’s hard to say if he will make a move this time.”
“If he makes a move, these people should be dead for sure, right?”
“I think so too, but he doesn’t. He might be worried about powerful Spirit Sea Realm experts nearby intercepting him.”
“It is said that ordinary Spirit Sea Realm experts cannot deal with him.”
“I don’t know. We just need to observe, don’t we?”
“Indeed!”
With that, the two continued to watch the battle.
The Demon Sorcerer now hoped that the Red Moon Blade Demon would make a move and kill these people.
That way, he would have completed Kang Yu’s task. At that time, the old man wouldn’t be able to make a fuss about it!
If he is pushed further, I will report him to Hell!
Above the dense forest.
Bai Yu, covered in lightning, stared at the Demon Servant in front of him, who was filled with deep red demonic qi.
Bai Ling hadn’t reacted to the previous move. Now, in his Soul Sea, she said, “Brother Bai Yu, let Ling’er go out and fight him!”
“Don’t rush. The trump cards must be revealed one by one. The one I’m hiding now is the Black Tortoise True Spirit. It’s best to be able to defend against the sneak attack of the Red Moon Blade Demon’s main body.”
“Alright.”
During the brief twenty-second standoff, Li Yunbin and the others also flew over.
Bai Yu quickly said, “A demon that absorbs moon power, and someone who suddenly appeared, possibly the Red Moon Blade Demon or his Demon Servant.”
You can’t pretend to be foolish if you’re going to play dumb. It’s enough to point it out now.
Li Yunbin quickly scanned the surroundings, his eight flying swords in a state of alert.
He didn’t know why Bai Yu said it was possibly the Red Moon Blade Demon, but he cooperated by saying, “It’s just a Demon Servant. The Red Moon Blade Demon must be hiding nearby. Everyone be careful!”
As he spoke, his gaze also fell on Qin Wanqing and the others who were following behind.
He briefly said to the other two group leaders, “The Red Moon Blade Demon, possibly a half-step Spirit Sea Realm existence, a B+ class assassin from the Shadow Alliance.”
B+ class was already considered infinitely close to the Spirit Sea Realm, and a top-tier among those of the same realm. Some weaker Spirit Sea Realm experts were only rated this high.
Everyone instantly closed ranks.
Bai Yu glanced at the members of the third group. He had the means to unleash Spirit Sea Realm strength, and he was even confident he could crush the Red Moon Blade Demon!
However, his main focus was on offense, and he couldn’t guarantee the safety of those around him.
At this moment, the Demon Servant suddenly raised the saber in his hand and slashed horizontally, retreating backward at the same time.
Bai Yu raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and punched forward.
With a “boom,” violent fluctuations stirred up a strong wind.
Bai Yu hesitated. If he charged out alone, Li Yunbin and the others might not be able to resist the Red Moon Blade Demon.
Li Yunbin seemed to know his thoughts and said, “Go. We have our own means.”
“Alright!”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Yu transformed into lightning and pursued forward.
The Demon Servant’s speed was not fast, or rather, he had a plan.
With a flash, Bai Yu appeared two meters in front of him.
He punched out again, and a lightning pillar shot out.
The saber in the Demon Servant’s hand also danced wildly, unleashing streaks of red light.
“Boom!”
The overbearing power destroyed trees within a radius of tens of meters.
The next moment, in the dissipating energy mist, the Demon Servant passed through the lightning and charged directly at Bai Yu, enveloped in a layer of demonic qi.
The lightning in the air instantly transformed into the Heavenly Thunder Summon and struck him.
The lightning spear in Bai Yu’s hand shot out directly.
With a “boom,” they clashed once, and then Bai Yu used the force to retreat.
The weapon in Bai Yu’s hand vibrated intensely, making his arm go numb.
He couldn’t help but shake his right hand.
“You have some strength.”
Unexpectedly, the Demon Servant also spoke, “You are only at the Qi Gathering Realm, yet you possess this combat power. It far exceeds my expectations, no wonder you are wanted by the Shadow Realm.”
“And you dare to leave your teammates now. Do you have any other tricks?”
Bai Yu laughed heartily, “Of course! Let’s see what tricks you, a mere Demon Servant, have to force out my ultimate move!”
While Bai Yu was speaking, three more black shadows suddenly emerged from the surroundings and attacked.
Three blood sabers, combined, slashed down at his head from above.
Bai Yu raised his lightning spear to block.
However, the immense impact force caused him to start falling.
The first Demon Servant to appear saw this and instantly transformed into a blood-red light, like a drill, charging directly at Bai Yu’s abdomen.
Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed.
The next moment, a long, white shadow shot out from within him.
Dragon River Woman!
After absorbing a large number of souls from the Underworld, she had also evolved.
Before, she was only at the mid-Spirit Yuan Realm, with a combat power of around level 15-18, and would shatter when facing a strong opponent.
Now, she could reach level 20 combat power!
An extremely sharp cry rang out.
“Ah~”
As puppet servants, their soul resistance was the weakest, and they were instantly stunned.
Dragon River Woman directly activated her soul-devouring ability.
The first Demon Servant’s attack shattered, and the dissipating blood qi wrapped around Dragon River Woman, instead being absorbed into her body.
Dragon River Woman then pounced.
Bai Yu also pushed away the attacks of the three Demon Servants with all his might, then turned and swept his spear horizontally, sending eight lightning balls out in a fan shape.
The Fourth Page appeared, and the Blood Pi Xiu rushed out.
This time, it was well-behaved, with blood lightning appearing on its body, and it directly attacked the three Demon Servants.
Originally, it was only at the early Spirit Yuan Realm, but as a Divine Beast, it had a combat power of around level 18-20!
After this page’s reinforcement, it also benefited, with its combat power increasing by two or three levels!
After a roar, more than ten blood threads extended from its body, directly attacking those Demon Servants, wrapping around their bodies, and madly devouring their life essence.
Bai Yu scanned the surroundings.
Seeing the first Demon Servant locked down by Dragon River Woman, he gripped his spear with both hands, channeling all his strength.
Thunder Movement: Spear Like a Dragon!
With a “boom!”
All his power converged at one point, the spear tip gleaming coldly, striking the Demon Servant’s forehead.
A seemingly simple and unadorned strike.
The next moment, a terrifying beam of lightning shot out from the spear tip.
With a “boom!”
The first Demon Servant was directly sent flying by this terrifying power, landing on the ground and sliding over forty meters, creating a gully.
Terrifying lightning light dissipated along the entire path.
Without any pause, energy surged from the Scepter of Thunder within Bai Yu again.
The Nine Heavens Thunder Domain around him formed a protective ring, and eight golden spheres flashed continuously.
“Die!”
With a “boom!”
The first Demon Servant raised his saber to block horizontally, but Bai Yu’s lightning spear released golden light again, and the surrounding Thunder Domain, like the halo of a Star Dragon King, continuously dealt high damage.
Then,
With a loud “rumble,”
Terrifying lightning power exploded, causing the entire area to shake violently, creating a twenty-meter diameter scorched earth.
When his figure reappeared, Bai Yu was floating in the air, his lightning spear gone.
The Demon Servant behind him, a modified corpse, had its sturdy body turned black and charred.
“It seems to be not just blood-type spiritual arts, but also corpse path!”
Bai Yu looked back at the three Demon Servants. These three were not strong.
Dragon River Woman and the Blood Pi Xiu were currently suppressing them tightly.
Bai Yu’s voice boomed like thunder, “Hmph! Is this all you’ve got!?”
Thus, there was ten seconds of silence.
Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from a nearby stream with astonishing speed.
In a flash, Bai Yu glanced at it.
Sea Serpent Clan!
Combat power reached level 25!
With a “swish,”
Bai Yu condensed a lightning shield with the scepter in his hand, but he was still knocked back a distance by the Sea Serpent Clan’s attack.
Soon, two more figures charged out. These two Demon Servants seemed to be very coordinated, attacking with dual blades from left and right!
Assassin-type Demon Servants!
This Red Moon Blade Demon clearly had an elite Demon Servant squad.
Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed, and a giant lightning whip appeared above his head.
With a “crack!”
The lightning whip passed through the bodies of the two Demon Servants, instantly injuring their soul essence.
With another swing, but these two Demon Servants charged forward, risking injury.
Bai Yu transformed into lightning and passed directly between the two.
And at the moment he activated Thunder Movement, three soul thorns shot out from his Soul Sea!
The lightning whip, still suspended in the air, was now imbued with purple-gold lightning. With a crack, it struck deep into their souls.
“Roar~”
The two Demon Servants let out zombie-like growls.
Before Bai Yu could react, the Sea Serpent Clan transformed into a long snake and was about to attack.
Its abyssal maw obscured some of Bai Yu’s vision.
Behind the giant snake’s figure, a blood-red sword light attacked from the side.
Bai Yu felt a sense of danger from this sword light.
He couldn’t hide anymore.
Black Tortoise Shield!
The magical treasure on his right wrist transformed into a giant cyan shield, standing upright in front of Bai Yu.
With a “boom!”
The sharp demonic sword struck the shield.
Bai Ling, who had been impatient, directly activated the Black Tortoise True Spirit within the shield.
A giant Black Tortoise phantom appeared on the battlefield! The two snakes on its back transformed into spirit bodies and attacked the powerful Sea Serpent Clan Demon Servant and the Sword Cultivator Demon Servant.
The Black Tortoise Shield, a supreme treasure obtained from the Treasure Vault, now unleashed power comparable to level thirty.
And Dragon River Woman behind Bai Yu immediately withdrew and directly activated soul-devouring on the two soul-severely injured Demon Servants!
Six small blood-red vortexes formed around the Blood Pi Xiu, and the blood lightning on its body exploded wildly.
In the distance.
Li Yunbin and the others quickly dealt with the Moon Demon problem and remained vigilant of their surroundings.
Bai Yu was not far from them, only about three hundred meters away, so they could see the entire battlefield quite clearly.
When they saw the second wave of Demon Servants appear, they were still able to remain calm.
However, when the Sea Serpent Clan attacked, followed closely by two assassin-type Demon Servants, they started to get restless.
If things went wrong, there would be trouble!
When the Sword Cultivator appeared, they didn’t react at all. Just as they had the urge to rush forward, they saw Bai Yu using the Black Tortoise Shield technique, which he had used in that Hell cave.
Yu Rundong couldn’t help but say, “Although I’ve always known this kid is very, very strong, and I’ve said it a few times, I still can’t help but ask, how did this kid develop? What kind of potent medicine did your seventh group feed him to raise such a monster?”
Liu Feifei was quite proud, snorting haughtily.
“Little Binzi, what do you say?”
Li Yunbin said calmly, “Do you remember Peng Shaojie from our batch five years ago?”
Hearing this, everyone remembered.
That guy was very unremarkable at first.
The first time they saw him was when he displayed an astonishing strength of two thousand kilograms during a test.
However, at that time, Peng Shaojie wasn’t even at the Qi Gathering Realm. And they were all at the Qi Gathering Realm!
They only thought he was a strength-based fighter.
Who would have thought that a month later, Peng Shaojie, having just entered the Qi Gathering Realm and following the path of Ancient Martial Arts, using a small amount of spiritual energy to wrap his body, displayed level 15 combat power! He even killed an early Spirit Yuan Realm Fishman.
Half a year later, it was rumored he was at the half-step Spirit Yuan Realm, and his combat power was terrifyingly strong.
Recalling this, Yu Rundong couldn’t help but say, “Peng Shaojie can’t even compare to this kid, right? Moreover, this kid’s current combat power can only be described as heaven-defying, completely incomprehensible!”
“There are always geniuses appearing in this world. We can’t say that the geniuses around us, no matter how powerful, should be within our understanding.”
“That’s true!”
Just as they finished talking, three more Demon Servants rushed out from the other side.
At this moment, Bai Yu, whose combat desire was extremely strong, looked at the three charging Demon Servants.
“Hmph!”
But after a dismissive snort, Bai Yu felt something was wrong.
These were not three weaklings!
However, Bai Yu’s mind raced. The defense formed by the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain began to dissipate, and just as it was about to erupt again, revealing a weakness in its defense.
With a “swish!”
A blood-red light broke through the air, thirty meters long, as if it were about to cleave half the sky, and struck Bai Yu with astonishing speed.
It landed directly on his body.
A line appeared from his forehead to his abdomen.
“Hmm?”
The Red Moon Blade Demon, hidden among the three Demon Servants on the right, let out a sound of confusion after unleashing the blood-red light.
His ability to conceal his presence was so profound that even Spirit Sea Realm experts couldn’t easily detect him.
What level is this kid!
With a “rumble,”
The body that was killed exploded violently.
As the Red Moon Blade Demon blocked the purple-gold lightning from the Thunder Shadow Body’s explosion with his blood shield, he suddenly felt a terrifying energy behind him.
God of Thunder, activate!
