Chapter 206 Using Oneself as a Shield
The monster emerged from the flames, its enormous claws gripping Lü Qianqian's longsword, while its other claw, accompanied by a whooshing sound, swept towards Lü Qianqian's waist.
"Get out of the way!"
Cui Yi screamed in shock and rushed forward to try and block the attack for Lü Qianqian, but he was too slow and could only watch helplessly as the giant claw swept towards Lü Qianqian's waist.
In the critical moment, Lü Qianqian lightly touched the ground with her toes, keeping her upper body still while her lower body leaped into the air, parallel to the ground, barely dodging the monster's ferocious attack.
The next moment, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her left hand reached to her waist, grasping a pitch-black iron ball in her palm.
The iron ball spun rapidly and was quickly thrown out by Lü Qianqian. She then released the Narrow Ruler and leaped to the side.
The iron ball stuck to the monster's body, spun for a few seconds, and then exploded with a bang.
Despite its formidable defenses, the monster was still blasted into the air and crashed off the altar.
"Chen Guo, keep an eye on Zhuo Yang! Old Cui, come down with me and hold off the monster!" Lü Qianqian shouted, leaping off the platform and rushing towards the rolling monster.
Cui Yi nodded to Chen Guo and rushed down as well.
Chen Guo fixed her gaze on Xie Chuan, who was flying towards the top of the platform, and asked through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Zhuo Yang, can you still move?"
"No, the Soul-Separating Demon Iron is too difficult to deal with. I need to devote myself entirely to it!" Zhuo Yang roared, and the blue flames on the altar rose even higher, almost engulfing him completely.
Chen Guo glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Understood, now it's my turn!"
Facing a Golden Core stage expert alone for the first time, she was a little nervous, but a cool smile, typical of a mature woman, appeared on her lips.
"Xie Chuan, my name is Chen Guo. Remember it well. When you get to King Yama's court, don't forget to tell him my name!"
With a sharp shout, Chen Guo leaped into the air, holding the ox-tail dagger upside down with both hands, and charged straight at Xie Chuan.
"You bitch, if you block my way, you're dead!" Xie Chuan sneered twice, brandishing his knife in front of him, instantly creating a misty haze.
Amidst the mist, a massive longsword gradually took shape...
In this fiery underground space, his water-based cultivation technique remained completely unaffected, demonstrating his high level of cultivation. As a veteran Golden Core expert, he was indeed extraordinary.
Undeterred, Chen Guo crossed his twin swords in mid-air in front of his chest and charged down at high speed.
The giant water-mist sword rushed straight at her. Upon contact, Chen Guo's left-hand sword flashed out a cold light, accurately striking the back of the giant sword, while her right-hand sword countered with a slash, striking the blade of the giant sword.
The standard double-sword crossed sword technique demonstrates a very solid foundation, coupled with the true essence cultivation of the Golden Core stage, making the sword technique extremely destructive.
With a deafening roar, the giant sword was shattered by Chen Guo's powerful strike, turning into a cloud of water mist.
"Huh?" Xie Chuan was secretly shocked. "That bitch actually specializes in swordsmanship?"
"You're not convinced?" Chen Guo sneered. Her body, wrapped in leather, was curvaceous and beautiful. Flying in mid-air, she looked like a battle angel.
Xie Chuan felt a surge of excitement as he watched, and sneered, "You bitch, once I kill Yang Lingfeng, I'll capture you and take you home to be my concubine!"
"Pah!" Chen Guo puffed out her chest proudly, but lowered her voice. "Even if I were to become a concubine, I wouldn't be your concubine!"
Guo'er, a concubine, belongs to Zhuo Yang.
"Is that so? Look back!" Xie Chuan sneered and pointed to the high platform behind Chen Guo.
Zhuoyang!
Chen Guo was startled and turned her head to look. Zhuo Yang was still using the demonic fire and there was nothing unusual about him.
"You lied to me!" she cursed through gritted teeth as she turned back, "Shameless old thief!"
"You're watching!" Xie Chuan laughed wildly a few times, then leaped towards Chen Guo, raising his Qingtao Blade high above his head in a move that could split Mount Hua.
"You're the one who'll fall for my trick!" Chen Guo's face turned ashen as he brandished his sword, ready to meet the attack.
However, the next second, her expression changed, and she turned around and pounced on Zhuo Yang on the altar.
When a cultivator casts a spell, he must use his own true essence, which will inevitably attract the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Chen Guo sensed the fluctuation of true essence behind him, followed by an even larger surge of primordial energy.
Sure enough, a wisp of water vapor formed a large sword about two meters long, which flew straight towards Zhuo Yang's back.
"Zhuo Yang!" Chen Guo shouted sharply, unleashing her full power to attack the large sword.
"I'm right here, what are you shouting for?" Xie Chuan followed closely behind, a lewd grin on his face, his eyes fixed on Chen Guo's alluring figure.
With a large blade flying towards Zhuo Yang in front of her and a Golden Core stage expert in pursuit behind her, Chen Guo was caught in a dilemma.
If she saves Zhuo Yang, she will definitely be attacked; if she doesn't save Zhuo Yang, she will regret it for the rest of her life!
"Zhuo Yang, will you remember me if I die?"
A thought flashed through Chen Guo's mind. She gritted her teeth, resolutely stepped over the giant sword, and stood behind Zhuo Yang.
They would use their bodies as a shield to protect Zhuoyang!
"ah!"
With a sharp shout, Chen Guo brandished her twin swords, slashing at the long sword.
With a loud bang, the steam exploded, and the long sword flashed.
A figure pierced through the mist, thrusting a knife into Chen Guo's left chest, penetrating her entire body.
"You bitch, die!"
Xie Chuan grinned maliciously, covering the Qingtao Blade with both hands, intending to twist the blade and slit Chen Guo's body open.
In that case, all the experts at the Golden Core stage would be doomed.
At that moment, the entire space suddenly fell silent. The churning lava in the sea of lava ceased to flow, and the sounds of fighting and shouting on the other side of the altar also disappeared.
A terrifying pressure descended upon them.
Xie Chuan lost his grip on the long sword and collapsed to his knees, shattering the dark rock beneath his impact.
"What's going on? What is this oppressive force?" Xie Chuan looked up at the sky in horror, but could only see the top of the cave illuminated by the firelight.
"You deserve to die!"
A soft sound came from the front, and the woman in front of him was being held in a man's arms.
Xie Chuan looked closely and saw that it was actually Yang Lingfeng!
"You're not at the Heartbeat Stage cultivation level, you...you..." Xie Chuan's face turned deathly pale. "What exactly is your cultivation level? What is this pressure...?"
"The primordial spirit of the Supreme Demon Lord!" Zhuo Yang looked at him expressionlessly, and azure flames rose from the arm around Chen Guo, enveloping the wound on Chen Guo's chest, and the bleeding immediately stopped.
The knife in Chen Guo's body pierced her heart, and Zhuo Yang dared not pull it out.
"What...what is a Demon Lord?" Xie Chuan was overwhelmed by fear. As a dignified Golden Core stage expert, he couldn't muster any instinct to resist.
"If you have the chance to transform into a ghost cultivator and ascend to the underworld, you will know that under this sky, a demon lord is a powerful being who can roam freely in one place!" Zhuo Yang said indifferently, waving his hand.
A burst of azure flame shot up above Xie Chuan's head.
"what……"
The screams were deafening. Xie Chuan rolled around in agony as flames engulfed his entire body. His clothes burned away in the blink of an eye, and his skin quickly turned charred black.
At the last moment, Xie Chuan's powerful true energy surged out, extinguishing the flames on his body.
However, that was the Samadhi Demon Fire, comparable to the Samadhi Divine Fire. In a short moment, his true essence was burned away by the demon fire, which then ignited his body.
After a few breaths, Zhuo Yang gently waved his arm, and a cloud of ashes was blown into the air.
"By the way, your soul won't escape if you're burned by the Samadhi Demon Fire. You won't have a chance to become a ghost cultivator."
