Chapter 216: New Power Appears, Demons Panic
"You, get ready..." Ren Xiaoyao's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, carrying a bone-chilling chill. Every word seemed to strike at everyone's heart, shattering the arrogance of the demons and also opening the dawn of hope that the righteous people were looking forward to.
Ren Xiaoyao's golden light grew increasingly dazzling, and the demonic minions that had been pouring in like a tide retreated, staring at him in terror, not daring to approach even a single step. The golden light held a terrifying power, as if it were a behemoth from ancient times, poised to devour them at any moment.
"Master..." The Shadow Protector felt the pressure emanating from Ren Xiaoyao and unconsciously took a step back, calling out in a low voice with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
The Blood Demon Cult Leader, seated high on the black throne, his face, once confident of victory, was now shrouded in a gloom. His crimson eyes fixed on Ren Xiaoyao, his heart churning with turmoil. He could see that the change in Ren Xiaoyao was no accident; this sudden surge of power made him feel an unprecedented threat.
"Waste! It's just a last-ditch effort!" The Blood Demon Cult Leader suddenly stood up and roared, "Shadow, Scorpion, you two go ahead and kill him!"
"Yes!" The Shadow Guardian and the purple-clad Scorpion Witch exchanged glances, each seeing fear in the other's eyes. But the leader's orders could not be disobeyed, so they could only bite the bullet and charge forward.
The Scorpion Witch let out a delicate laugh, and two scimitars appeared out of thin air in her hands. The blades glowed with a faint green light, clearly imbued with a deadly poison. Her figure moved erratically like a ghost as she attacked Ren Xiaoyao, each move ruthless and aimed directly at his vital points.
The Shadow Guardian was even more cautious. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Black energy rolled around him, transforming into countless black sharp blades that attacked Ren Xiaoyao in an overwhelming manner.
Facing the pincer attack of two masters, Ren Xiaoyao remained remarkably calm. He slowly closed his eyes, and a golden light shone brightly from his palms. The ancient characters seemed to come alive, forming a golden shield around him.
"You're overestimating yourself!" Ren Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. He let out a low shout and thrust his right hand forward fiercely...
The golden shield, like a solid wall, blocked the scimitars of the Scorpion Witch and the black blades of the Shadow Guardian. Ren Xiaoyao was surrounded by golden light, and those once fierce attacks were like child's play before him, being easily dispelled.
"How is this possible!" the Scorpion Witch exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had teamed up with the Shadow Guardian, a force not even the Righteous Alliance Leader dared to underestimate, yet now, they were so easily stopped by Ren Xiaoyao. How could she accept this?
The Shadow Protector's face also turned ugly. He quickly changed the seals with his hands, trying to increase the power of his attack, but he found that the golden light shield around Ren Xiaoyao was like a leech, and no matter how he activated his magic power, he could not shake it at all.
"A mere trifle!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly, and clenched his right hand suddenly. The golden light shield suddenly shrank and turned into a golden lightning, counterattacking the Scorpion Witch and the Shadow Protector.
"Ah!" The two men had no time to dodge and were struck by the golden lightning. They screamed and their bodies flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. They fell heavily to the ground with blood spurting out of their mouths.
"Teach the guardian!" Upon seeing this, the demon minions immediately became chaotic. Their original arrogance disappeared in an instant. They looked at Ren Xiaoyao in horror, as if they saw the god of death from hell.
"Good!" The righteous people cheered and their morale was boosted. They knew that the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards them.
Ren Xiaoyao ignored everyone's reactions. He stared intently at the Blood Demon Cult Leader, knowing that the real battle had just begun. He took a deep breath, circulated his Qi to its full potential, and prepared to face the next challenge.
"Interesting, really interesting!" The Blood Demon Cult Leader slowly stood up, his scarlet eyes flashing with a frightening light, and a cruel smile curled his lips. "It seems that I still underestimated you..."
The Blood Demon Cult Leader slowly raised his right hand. A simple black ring on his slender finger emitted a faint glow. "You have enough to be proud of yourself for forcing me to use my full strength." His voice was low, but it exploded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Before he could finish his words, the Blood Demon Cult Leader flashed and appeared before Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost. His five fingers formed into claws, aiming for Ren Xiaoyao's vital chest. Ren Xiaoyao was prepared, and with a flash of golden light, he barely dodged the fatal blow. However, the Blood Demon Cult Leader's moves were unpredictable, changing with incredible speed. His fingertips left a blood-red afterimage, which wrapped around Ren Xiaoyao's arm like a venomous snake.
"Hiss!" Ren Xiaoyao felt a chilling aura instantly invade his body, his meridians frozen. He groaned, enduring the intense pain as golden light erupted once more, forcing the Blood Demon Cult Leader back several steps.
"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin was distraught upon seeing Ren Xiaoyao injured. She wanted to rush over, but was held back by the Righteous Alliance Leader. "Don't worry, Miss Xia Lin. Let's see how Young Master Ren defeats the enemy!" Although the Righteous Alliance Leader was also worried about Ren Xiaoyao, he knew that he couldn't lose his composure at this moment. He shouted to the righteous people around him, "Everyone, Young Master Ren has a method to defeat the enemy. We just need to work together and we will definitely defeat the devil!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered up and looked at the two people in the field with determined eyes.
The Blood Demon Cult Leader looked at the wound on Ren Xiaoyao's arm, his scarlet eyes flashing with contempt. "How does my Blood Demon Bone-Eroding Claw taste? How much longer can you hold out?"
Ren Xiaoyao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with fear. "Nothing more!" he said, his Qi circulating frantically, the golden light growing ever brighter as he tried to force out the cold and gloomy energy that had invaded his body.
Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao didn't fall down after being struck by his claw, but instead had a fiercer aura, the Blood Demon Cult Leader couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. He narrowed his eyes and studied Ren Xiaoyao carefully, as if considering a more vicious move...
Ren Xiaoyao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes as sharp as a sword tempered by ice, unwavering. He took a deep breath and channeled his inner Qi to its full potential. A golden light formed a barrier around him, shielding him from the biting chill of the Blood Demon's bone-eating claws. He knew this was only the beginning; a tougher battle lay ahead.
Seeing Ren Xiaoyao's resilience despite his renowned skills, the Blood Demon Cult leader was filled with doubt and astonishment. He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering in his blood-red pupils. "Interesting," he said in a cold voice that seemed to emanate from the depths of hell. "It seems I underestimated you, but don't get too excited!"
With that, the Blood Demon Cult Leader formed hand seals and chanted an obscure incantation. The air around them grew cold and thick, as if an invisible pressure enveloped them. Seeing this, Xia Lin's heart tightened. She quickly pulled out a bottle of elixir from her bosom and handed it to the Qingfeng Swordsman beside her, saying anxiously, "Brother Qingfeng, quickly, share this 'Exorcism Powder' with everyone! This demon is about to unleash his ultimate move!"
The Swordsman Qingfeng took the medicine bottle and, not wanting to delay, quickly distributed the pills to the righteous people around him. He himself gripped his sword tightly, watching the Blood Demon Leader's every move with vigilance.
The Blood Demon Cult Leader's incantations grew faster and faster, and the black energy surrounding him grew thicker and thicker, eventually forming a massive black vortex that enveloped him completely. A terrifying, heart-pounding aura emanated from the vortex, as if it was about to devour everything in the world.
"The Blood Demon is coming from the sky!" The Blood Demon Leader roared, and the black vortex suddenly exploded. Countless blood-colored light blades shot towards Ren Xiaoyao like a rainstorm.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to be careless. With golden light shielding his body, he transformed into a flash of lightning, dodging through the dense stream of blades. However, the Blood Demon Cult Leader's attack range was much wider and more powerful than before. Even with Ren Xiaoyao's speed, he couldn't completely avoid it.
"puff!"
A blood-red blade grazed Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone. Ren Xiaoyao groaned, but gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew that he must not fall down, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
At this moment, a clear voice sounded in Ren Xiaoyao's ears: "Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!"
Ren Xiaoyao was startled, and before he could turn around, he felt a sharp gust of wind coming from behind...
