Wu Jiu's premonition was not wrong.
The clouds atop Jinli Mountain indeed changed color, endless blood gushed out, dyeing the sky clouds red.
This blood was all demon blood.
Under the siege of Flying Sword, Golden Line, and Taoist arts—
Chi Huang, the Great Venerable, forcefully manifested his Lifebound Demon Body, carrying a shout of endless humiliation, echoing above the heavenly peak within a ten-mile radius.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
A colossal figure appeared out of thin air, causing the Golden Thread Cage to explode.
It was a giant fish, its whole body covered in iron scales like red jade.
The fish's spine resembled a mountain, with thousands of sharp bone spikes growing horizontally, and its tail split like a dragon!
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord unfolded his demon body, trying to forcefully break open the "Golden Thread Cage," while the scholar in azure standing in the deepest fog groaned, Chen Jingxuan clasped his hands together, and the Golden Line in his sleeves emitted incredulous sounds; this demon body was indeed too magnificent, the Golden Thread Cage instantly expanded to twice its size... The Heavenly Destiny Gold Line was extremely tough, initially not breaking, dead fast tied and bound on the giant fish, leaving white marks on the iron scales.
But Chi Fu's demon body was a full two hundred zhang!
Unleashing the demon body.
He was already prepared to fight desperately.
Xie Xuanyi's expression was grave, secretly shocked in his heart... After Chi Fu unleashed his demon body, his control over the "Dao Domain" decreased, allowing Chen Ke to smoothly cross the sea of fire, slashing fiercely on the big fish.
But that sword just scraped out a bright circle of sparks!
This [Chi Fu] true body's scale armor was too hard, his Chen Ke could not cut through!
On the other side.
The Great Dao Treasure Technique encountered the same situation.
Tang Fengshu's face was unsightly, the various treasure techniques she invoked, striking the big fish, only produced balls of fiery light.
[Chi Fu] twisted its demon body, snapping the Golden Line—
Following a tail swipe, heavily struck towards Chen Jingxuan who was positioned furthest back among the three!
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord had already figured it out.
Among the "trio" besieging him, the easiest to pinch was not the Yin God Realm's Xie Xuanyi.
But the frail-bodied scholar in azure.
Though the Taoist Treasure Techniques and Flying Swords were indeed troublesome... It was precisely this "Golden Thread Cage" that trapped him, rendering him unable to move, wanting to escape, it was best to solve this scholar in azure first!
"Retreat!"
Xie Xuanyi shouted in a low voice, rushing out with the Sword Control.
No matter what, Chen Jingxuan must not be harmed.
He sent out Divine Thought, signaling Chen Jingxuan to abandon the Golden Thread Cage.
"...What a shame."
The Little State Preceptor was not greedy for victory; after Chi Fu unleashed his demon body, he already knew this battle could only end here, and without any hesitation, retreated towards the depths of the Cloud Sea.
Boom!!!
Chi Fu's tail swipe exerted immense power—
The sky cloud hundreds of zhang shattered instantly, and the iron tail finally grazed Chen Jingxuan's cheek, the retreat speed of the scholar in azure was quick, but still narrowly missed catching him.
Just as Chen Jingxuan let out a long breath, an unease arose again in his Heart Lake.
Countless fireballs suddenly shot out in the void.
The Dao Domain of [Abyss Sea] suddenly condensed before him.
Usually, after a Great Demon manifests the Lifebound Demon Body, the physical body's strength increases significantly, yet inevitably, control over the Dao Domain decreases... It's a racial trait, only a very few demon cultivators can overcome this natural defect through rigorous cultivation.
In the battle at the Lotus Forbidden Land, Yuan Huang was still perfectly harnessing the [All Living Beings Path] even in the demon body state.
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord unleashed the demon body, not immediately utilizing the Dao Domain to break the cage... Intentional to allow Chen Jingxuan to drop his guard, after the tail swipe, he invoked the [Abyss Sea] Dao Domain, to deliver a deadly blow.
"..."
Chen Jingxuan's pupils slightly contracted, just as he was about to summon back the Golden Line in his sleeve, a figure in black appeared in time, resolutely blocking in front of him.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
All Taoist Intents above the Cloud Sea were completely blocked by Sword Qi.
The retreat speed of Chen Ke was even faster than the Golden Line...
Xie Xuanyi lifted both hands, invoked Life and Death Dual Dao, the Martial Arts Divine Embryo posed the same gesture, leaning shoulders and turning body, perfectly defending, forcefully taking all of Chi Fu's Taoist Intents.
After this bout of resistance.
A familiar scene appeared, Xie Xuanyi's hands turned into ghastly white bones, yet he felt no pain, only turning back to glance at the frail scholar behind him.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Jingxuan's lips pulled slightly.
"What could happen to me..."
He lowered his eyelids, sighed, saying somewhat worried: "Are you okay?"
"Undying Spring, not afraid of death."
Xie Xuanyi smiled lightly, casually flicked his sleeve, and before the dust had even settled, his bone hands already restored to a translucent jade color...
This confrontation only transpired in the blink of an eye.
"He's trying to escape!"
On the other side of the Cloud Sea, Tang Fengshu shouted sharply.
After unleashing the demon body and breaking through the Golden Thread Cage, Chi Fu the Dragon Lord showed not the slightest intent to remain—
On the surface he was in the advantageous position.
But in reality...
Previously being besieged by the three, Chi Fu was already injured.
He knew very well, if it continued fighting, the one to die would surely be himself.
Not to mention the impending arrival of "Zhao Chunyang".
The joint strike by this trio alone made Chi Fu's scalp tingle.
Despite clearly possessing a higher realm, unable to kill any one of the three.
If the "Golden Thread Cage" were to form again...
He might be besieged to death by these three human prodigies!
...
...
Stunned for a moment.
At the mouth of Jinli Mountain, the whistling sounds cascaded down layer upon layer.
Wu Jiu's pupils contracted, now he saw clearly the swiftly descending shadow, it was indeed the Lifebound True Body of Chi Fu the Dragon Lord!
Yang God Fifth Heaven's Great Demon was beaten into the Lifebound True Body—
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord broke free from the Golden Thread Cage, launched a strike, promptly darting down the mountain, swiftly retracting the demon body, from two hundred zhang to hundred zhang, then to several tens of zhang... By the time he plunged into the volcano, this big fish had shrunk tenfold, yet even shrunken this much, still could not escape the locks of Flying Sword.
A streak of golden light pursued from the mountain mouth, continuously slashing.
Clang clang clang!
In the brief breaths while falling, Chi Fu the Dragon Lord was slashed hundreds of times by sword light—
Finally he plummeted like a massive rock, heavily crashing into the molten lava sea, splashing out monstrous waves!
The Flying Sword ceased pursuit; after Chi Fu the Dragon Lord fell into the fire sea, this thread of Golden Line swept away, vanishing from the mountain mouth scope.
"Splash."
The Chi Fu the Dragon Lord, floating up from the fire sea, returned to human form, his previously red battle armor entirely shattered, covered with thin, fragmented wounds.
"These sword wounds... how could they be like this!"
Wu Jiu couldn't believe it.
He witnessed the scene of the Flying Sword chase and cut.
Was this Xie Xuanyi truly human?
A Yin God, managing to wound Chi Fu the Dragon Lord like this?!
"..."
Jiang Huang, seated on the throne, remained silent, but at this moment, as she looked towards Chi Huang the Great Venerable, a trace of scarcely perceptible schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.
"Now is not the time to explain..."
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord's complexion was pale, he clenched his teeth, disregarding all semblance of dignity, directly pressing heavily on the wall full of demon text.
Buzz.
Inside the wall of Jinli Mountain, countless radiant gold lights emerged.
Chi Fu the Dragon Lord roared in a low voice: "Activate the Great Array! Quickly return to Heavenly Phoenix Palace!"
