Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 1446

Chapter 1446: 1446






- Clang! -

His Stars Sword was drawn out of the scabbard.

A sword light was rushing up, shining in the sky.

Ye Xiao and the Stars Sword became one. He and the sword rushed out together as a long broad rainbow, howling over toward Zong Yuankai!

"Zong Yuankai! Why don't you show me what you've got now that used to make you the most powerful cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm in the old days!"

Zong Yuankai moved up in the air, and the demonic qi was rising around him, turning into a huge face of a demon. He stared at Ye Xiao with a pair of huge eyes, looking vicious. He laughed weirdly and said, "Look how far you have made it now. Of course, I should greet you personally with a good fight. A fight against the new world's most powerful cultivator!"

Before he finished talking, he had already flown up like a shapeless ghost, rushing fast toward Ye Xiao with attacks.

The demon was approaching, so Ye Xiao burst the sword light up. The light of the Stars Sword was gorgeous, and Erhuo quietly showed up when the light began to shine. It moved so fast to a covert corner and stayed low.

Erhuo's whisker was shaking, and its ears were flickering. It stared at the nine altars that were far away in full concentration, looking like there was saliva dripping down its mouth.

"Meow… So much soul energy… Well, it is not a match to the Sky Soul Mountain, but this is big, too…"

Erhuo wanted the energy so badly and it said, "I really want to have it… Meow… Can I have enough today? Let me take it this time…"

…

In the sky, Ye Xiao was holding his Stars Sword, facing the Honor Demon all by himself!

The two most powerful men, each of them representing one of the two sides, started to fight for the first time, righteousness versus evil!

As the fight started and Ye Xiao touched the palm hit power of the Honor Demon, he instantly felt a huge pressure that he had never felt before.

If Ye Xiao was a small but strong tree, the Honor Demon should be at least like a horrible wind storm that could break down a mountain.

The small tree might be strong enough to survive the wind, but a storm? Was it really going to survive?

Only one touch, the small tree was almost bent in halves by the hurricane force wind.

Ye Xiao had tried the best of his life to defend himself against that enormous palm hit power, and his face turned all red, sweat dripping down from his face.

He had tried to think as highly as he could of Zong Yuankai, yet he still failed to truly estimate the Honor Demon's power right. At this moment, he only had one feeling. The fight had just begun, and he already felt that he was drained to the last bit of power!

More horribly, the Honor Demon obviously did not make any serious moves yet. Although Ye Xiao was still hanging there, he knew that the truth would prove it a fake vision.

The Stars Sword used to be like a part of his hand which he could control perfectly. At this moment, the Stars Sword suddenly seemed to be heavier than half a ton. The air around the sword became sticky, and he had to put in so much effort to wield the sword. He had to break a lot of hidden restraints to take a move to resist the Honor Demon's attack.


Under such an unimaginable depressure, Ye Xiao's heart was beating fast. His blood was running the fastest it could ever run in the veins. He could feel that his heart was going to explode at any second!

The Honor Demon was flying around like a ghost. He wasn't in the shape of a human being. Instead, he was like a piece of paper. He stared at Ye Xiao coldly with two deep, creepy eyes and said, "Ye Xiao, now, do you know how much I deserve the fame I got?"

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and stared with both eyes wide open. Suddenly, he made a savage roar and the purple qi kept bursting out from every pore on his skin.

Ye Xiao was operating the East-rising Purple Qi in full power, almost breaking the limit!

When the purple qi was bursting out the pores of his body, he clearly felt the pressure on him was reduced quite a lot immediately.

He didn't feel his body was heavy anymore. It became light and flexible again. The Stars Sword wasn't unbearably heavy anymore. It was so light that Ye Xiao couldn't even feel its weight. The blade of the sword was wrapped with some blurry purple qi, and it slashed down right on the head of the Honor Demon!

"Oh? Wait!" The Honor Demon was surprised. He said, "What is this martial art? How is this possible? It actually broke out the cage restraint I made!"

He then turned over his right hand to spread out more dark qi. He actually was going to resist the strong attack of the Stars Sword with his bare hand.

Ye Xiao saw what the Honor Demon did, so he made up his mind to push it even harder, adding more power onto the Stars Sword.

The purple qi came out from the blade of the sword, while the dark qi was from the hand of the demonic creature. As the two blows crashed, some weird sound started to ring up. - Boo, boo, boo. - It was clearly seen that the purple qi was winning. The dark qi was retreating, while the purple qi was marching forward. Behind the purple qi, the sharp blade of the Stars Sword was shining with killing intent.

The Honor Demon made a long shout, and the dark qi suddenly rose again. More dark qi appeared and joined the dark qi which was retreating!

Endless dark qi kept running out from inside his body, flowing along his arms and hands. The dark qi around his hands was rising up fast, and it became as dense as the fight began! In fact, the dark qi was getting even stronger!

The denser dark qi kept coming out to join the battle. It stopped backing off, but started to turn over the situation. It stopped retreating to make a counterattack.

- Bang! -

Ye Xiao's forwarding sword was hit by the Honor Demon's counterattack, like a huge dam being cracked by the flood. As the dark qi hit the Stars Sword, it nearly flew off Ye Xiao's hand.

For the first time, Ye Xiao's Stars Sword lost in combat while the purple qi was supporting it. Before this, whenever the Stars Sword attacked with the purple qi's support, it was all-conquering. However, now he got to experience being defeated for the first time!

The East-rising Purple Qi was known as the first martial art in history! It actually failed!

Erhuo was carefully watching the fight between Ye Xiao and the Honor Demon. It half closed its eyes and made a long sigh. [Meow… The East-rising Purple Qi is definitely an incredible martial art. However, my master… He could do a lot much better than this. No matter how powerful the East-rising Purple Qi is, no matter how powerful the purple qi could be, it couldn't defeat something that was used by someone who has much more powerful hands.]

[For example, a piece of gold and a piece of bronze on the same scale, the gold is definitely much more valuable than that bronze piece. However, a one hundred gram gold is definitely not as valuable as a ton of bronze!]

- Puff! -

Ye Xiao got hit by the powerful collision, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggeringly took a few dozens of steps back. Suddenly, a sword which was vicious and sneaky like a poisonous snake was sticking over to stab him from the side. Ye Xiao didn't stop the step, and he wielded up the Stars Sword to block the sword attack. As he was shocked, he subconsciously made a palm hit out with his left hand.

- Pang! -

A superior cultivator of the Demon Soul Dao wanted to make a sneak attack, but Ye Xiao realized it and blocked the sneaky sword attack with the incredible Stars Sword. The man was shaken, and his face turned pale. Ye Xiao's palm hit followed the sword move with the cracking sound of thunder and wind. The man staggered backward, and he had nowhere to move to anymore. Ye Xiao's palm attack crashed his head and broke it into pieces.

After that, the man's demonic soul became like a cloud of blurry fog, flying fast toward the sixth altar.

Ye Xiao didn't do a great job fighting the Honor Demon, but his Golden Core Phase was real. That man who tried to attack him sneakily was only at level nine of the Dao Origin Stage, which meant he was far below Ye Xiao's league.

It was like the difference between five hundred grams of gold and a hundred grams of bronze. They didn't match at all!

As Ye Xiao made the small palm hit; he easily killed an enemy in the counterattack. That wasn't so surprising, though!

From somewhere else, a long shrilling shout rang up in the sky like the sound of a phoenix. Ye Xiao took a moment during the fight to watch the sky, and he saw a slim figure of a lady rushing over with the indescribable cold qi around her body.

It was exactly Bing'er.

On the route where she flew over, dozens of superior cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao were instantly frozen. No exceptions.

After that, the frozen men all began to break into pieces. No exceptions, either.

Where she was heading was one of the completed Demonic Flame Altars, the third altar!

He should be fighting against the short fatty, but Han Bingxue took her place!

Xuan Bing was such an experienced cultivator in the battle. The short fatty could stay fine in the fight against her by all defense, but he could not hold her for a long time. Xuan Bing spent quite some time fighting against this fatty only because she wanted to accumulate energy.

She had almost the most profound and sharpest view among the people of the union's army. In fact, she had seen how incredibly powerful those men around the altars were, even earlier than Ye Xiao did. She knew that it was difficult to approach the altars. She figured if she wanted to destroy the altars, she should do it as fast as she could. To break it with one shot was the most possible way to get it done. That was why she chose to fight against the short fatty, who was good at defending, but definitely wouldn't win the fight. She also kept communicating with Jun Yinglian, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han during the fight, telling them what she was about to do!

When she was done accumulating enough energy, she moved, as well as Jun Yinglian, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. The ladies started to make the attack, which they had been secretly planning for a long time in the fight!

The opponents of the ladies were all taken care of by Han Bingxue. He took over several fights at the same time. Han Bingxue's Tittle Phase movement technique was much more excellent than it used to be now. Besides, he got it enhanced with some martial art methods of the Cage Phase. He moved extremely fast, and he could also do shadow clone now! When he became a few shadows, every shadow of him looked just like the real person. Therefore, it would not be a problem for him to hold the enemies off at the same time!

Xuan Bing was rushing fast all the way along. She seemed to be invincible and unstoppable at this moment!

Ye Xiao just saw her with a glance, and he was shocked.

[Holy sh*t! Since when did she get such power? Where does the incredible vibe of 'I am invincible' come from?]

[This is unbelievable…]

[Unbelievably awesome!]

The Honor Demon was alerted, so he turned around his head to look at the sky, but when he realized it, he was already behind Xuan Bing. Apparently, he knew how powerful Xuan Bing's attack could be. Xuan Bing was a powerful cultivator, and now after accumulating energy for such a long time, she seemed to be unstoppable.

Even though there were seven great cultivators guarding the altar, the Honor Demon wasn't sure the altar would be safe. Things were going worse on the demon's side!

For the Honor Demon, the safety of the altars was the first thing he could do. Nothing else mattered more than the altars. Xuan Bing's powerful attack was rushing over to the altars, so he had to try to stop her before she went too far.

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and made a long shout. He wielded the Stars Sword in the sky fast, and then a splendid glaring stars light river appeared. He said, "Zong Yuankai! Here I come with my sword!"

Ye Xiao and the Stars Sword became one again. He rushed forward, flying over the sky, pointing at the Honor Demon, Zong Yuankai, with the sharp point of the sword.

Before the sword light arrived, the qi of the blade had encircled the Honor Demon!

Ye Xiao knew that he was far below Zong Yuankai in cultivation power, so he didn't really think that he could kill the Honor Demon with this sword attack. All he wanted was to hold the Honor Demon off, and to keep him from supporting the altars.

The Honor Demon was just about to rush out for the altars when he heard the sound of the sword howling along with the wind flow. The drastic sound of an attacking sword made the Honor Demon think that he should move aside. If that sword attack hit him, it would hurt him quite badly!

After a short consideration, the Honor Demon stopped to dodge. He moved aside fast like a whirlwind, and realized it was Ye Xiao who was making the sword attack. It provoked the Honor Demon, so he fiercely said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao! I didn't want to kill you so soon, but you are asking for death! Don't blame me!"

Then he made an angry roar, and the demonic qi was rising up around his body again. He waved a hand, then a lot of dark fog gathered up and formed a huge arm. The arm moved toward Ye Xiao and his splendid sword attack.

Ye Xiao didn't get away. Instead, he added more energy into the attack, preparing to crash the Honor Demon's demonic hand in the craziest and most extreme way!

On the other side, Xuan Bing was rushing toward the altar at an unstoppable speed. She kept waving her pretty hands while flying over to the altars. She was making over seventy hundred palm attacks down to the enemies on the ground!

The seven superior cultivators who were like mud sculptures protecting the third altar suddenly moved at the same time. They flew up to the sky, and the seven of them together let out enormous energy flows to lock up the area beyond the altar!

After setting up the protective shield on the altar, the seven great cultivators started to attack Xuan Bing at the same time!

Xuan Bing was rushing toward the seven men at the moment, and the two sides collided each other in the air fiercely!

- Boom! Boom! Boom… -

A series of explosions reverberated…

At the same time, the collision of Ye Xiao and the Honor Demon sounded as well!

All of a sudden, the entire area, which had been firmly reinforced by the Demon Soul Dao, actually started shaking drastically!

With a deep exclamation, Ye Xiao rolled on the ground like a ball, spitting out blood all over the floor. He and the sword became a whole when he made that splendid sword attack after accumulating all the energy he had inside him. However, the Honor Demon broke him thoroughly! He was defeated!

At this moment, Ye Xiao could clearly feel the golden core in his dantian. As he got beaten in the collision, he felt like that golden core was going to break apart. The purple golden core already had a few cracks on it.

At the moment when he lost the fight, he even felt a bit dizzy in the head.

Luckily, endless purple spiritual energy started to strongly run into his dantian and Jing and Mai from the Boundless Space to fix the damaged parts of his body.

The Honor Demon won the fight, and he definitely got impacted, but he acted like nothing happened at all. He hastily rushed over to catch up with Xuan Bing at once.

The seven men had used over half of their energies to keep the protection on the altar, so they couldn't do their best on the joint attack on Xuan Bing. If they were fighting against some regular cultivator, it would be an easy victory. However, Xuan Bing had planned for this, and she had accumulated an enormous amount of energy for the attack. The seven great cultivators didn't seem to be handling it well enough. As the two sides crashed, the seven men were all defeated. The seven of them all spat out blood, started to step back, falling down to seven different directions. When they awkwardly fell to the ground, they started to spit out blood again. They looked much weaker at the moment!

Xuan Bing's world-shocking attack was so incredible that even though the seven cultivators had burned their souls to fight, they couldn't stop her.

One of them was particularly severely injured. As he spat out blood, there were pieces of broken inner organs in the blood. After getting hit by Xuan Bing's incredible attack, this man's inner organs were broken into pieces. Apparently, this one was not going to make it!

Xuan Bing was not in a good condition, either. She got blasted so hard that her slim pretty body flew up in the air for dozens of meters. She made an exclamation, and her face that was fine like white jade turned red. Blood came out between her lips.

The joint attack of the seven great cultivators was such a crazy and powerful blast. Even though the seven men were in their best condition while making the attack, even though Xuan Bing was already at the Golden Core Phase, she still couldn't stay unharmed under that attack.

However, Xuan Bing won the fight after all. A small part of the power of her significant palm attack had made it to the altar!

It was only a small part of the power of the attack, which was only about thirty percent of her full power attack, but it did break into the altar!

All of a sudden, the altar started to rotate. The small skeletons that the altar was built with started to make some really creepy sounds. A wave of some weird energy started to wear down the power from Xuan Bing's palm attack. The demonic flame on the altar kept flickering for a while, like a lighted candle trying not to be put off by the wild wind, but it was going to be put off at any second!

The flame had become like a fine needle…

If the last bit of the flame was off, this altar was gone!

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed over. The Honor Demon abruptly showed up beyond the altar. A rising wave of demonic qi was crazily moving down to the altar, and the shaking altar became stable again.

The flame was stabilized, too, and it started to shine again!

As the Honor Demon showed up, even the air stopped flowing!

Xuan Bing looked around and clearly saw the current situation. She then started to rush down like a shooting star falling down to the ground. While she was falling, she was rotating fast at the same time. As she fell from the sky, the demonic qi up in the sky became like a huge solid object with her rotation!

It was like a huge jade stone in the sky!

Xuan Bing's pretty hands, which were like two white jades, had a hard friction to the air and there was smoke coming up on her hands. She was attacking the altar for the second time!

At the same time, Ye Xiao was already a little better after being fixed by the purple qi from the Boundless Space. He started to wield his sword like a mad man, and a splendid star light river appeared again in the purple light. He and his Stars Sword became a whole again, and he was rushing to the Honor Demon for the second time!

Wherever he flew over, the superior cultivators of the Demon Soul Dao left the fights they were in to stop Ye Xiao in full-effort attempts!

Ye Xiao didn't even try to get away from those people. He just kept pushing forward, heading to the target! His sword was out, and it would not be withdrawn!

Somewhere else, Li Wuliang suddenly made a cracking roar. Three swords and one saber of the enemies had laid upon his shoulder. He didn't escape. Instead, he let the enemies hit him, so he could make use of the power from the attacks to pour all power into his Fierce Saber. Within a second, he and the saber became a broad stream of light in the shape of a flying saber, rushing toward the third altar, which had been once attacked by Xuan Bing!

The three Golden Core Phase cultivators had the same determination, heading toward the same fight, from three different places. They were like three unstoppable thunderstorms howling over to the altars.

The Honor Demon was protecting the altar, so he was definitely going to take the three crashes. If he stepped away, the flame would be put off and the altar would be destroyed for sure. If he didn't get away, he would have to take the three ultimate attacks at the same time!

The Honor Demon seemed to be surprised, but then he was pleased. He said, "It turns out… there are more than one Golden Core Phase cultivators… This is great. Today is the day! The altars will be completed!"

Then he moved aside and became three Honor Demon! There were three of him!

The Honor Demon's shadow clone technique wasn't quite the same as Han Bingxue's Tittle Phase technique. Han Bingxue moved extremely fast, so that he could create some visions of himself as if he showed up in different places at the same time. It seemed they were all real, but only one person was. The Honor Demon did it differently. The three Honor Demon were all real!

In fact, this mysterious technique of the Honor Demon was similar to what Wu Fa and Wu Tian did when they fought against Ye Xiao. Now, the Honor Demon was using it, so it became much more powerful!

The first Honor Demon jumped up to the sky to fight Xuan Bing. The other two moved to two directions, one on the left against Ye Xiao, while the other on the right against Li Wuliang!

At the moment, the three Honor Demon's bodies suddenly shined with golden lights at the same time!

Those who saw the glaring golden light felt extreme pain in the eyes. Suddenly, they lost sight, and started to screech…

After that, three explosive sound rang up almost at the same time. Ye Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and started to back off. Li Wuliang exclaimed and tried to hold himself down, but the blood rushed out his mouth like a water fountain. He couldn't stop it at all!

Xuan Bing in the sky got hit and she felt like getting stricken by a hammer that weighed tons. She couldn't hold it anymore, and her body became soft and weak. A few seconds later, she started to fall while in a coma…

Jun Yinglian saw Xuan Bing falling, so she made a shout and started to burn her life energy by operating the secret martial art of the Sky Ice Palace. She forcibly killed a bloody way through the crowd, rushing toward Xuan BIng, trying to catch her before Xuan Bing hit the floor.

Because she was distracted, she couldn't help making mistakes. Although she seemed to be pretty powerful after burning her life energy, while she was rushing forward to kill a way toward Xuan Bing, lots of swords and sabers hit her. Her white clothes suddenly became red with blood stains. However, she couldn't care less now. She kept moving like a whirlwind and finally caught Xuan Bing in her arms before Xuan Bing hit the floor.

When Jun Yinglian held Xuan Bing in the arms, she spat out another mouthful of blood. The reverse impact from burning her own life energy along with the injuries she got from the enemies hit him at the same time. She might not be able to fight well as she did earlier anymore.

The Honor Demon had become three. After the three fights against three different people, the three Honor Demon started to move toward each other. Gradually, three Honor Demon became one again. The Honor Demon was still wearing the same all-black clothes with a black mask on the face like always. He did not make those incredible attacks without paying any price, though. After becoming one Honor Demon again, he spat out a mouthful of dark blood!

Apparently, even though the Honor Demon was so powerful, he got hurt while facing the attacks from three Golden Core Phase cultivators at the same time!

However, compared to Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang, he was totally fine!

Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang were the three most powerful cultivators in the union of all sects in Qing-Yun Realm. The three of them fought together yet still got defeated. Other than that, Jun Yinglian got damaged badly as well!

Was the Honor Demon really this powerful?

That mouthful of black blood happened to drop into the altar. The demonic qi around the altar actually started to roll and rise for a while.

The Honor Demon's dark blood was the only price he paid, yet it also fed the altar so well!

Ye Xiao and the others didn't have time to care about the Honor Demon's blood at this very moment!

Ye Xiao hurriedly took out some supreme dan beads that helped to cure injuries. He took about eight dan beads immediately. It was a dangerous moment, and it was not wise to save the dan beads. Li Wuliang took out some dan beads and swallowed a lot as well.

Jun Yinglian unclenched Xuan Bing's teeth and fed her a lot of dan beads, too.

The Honor Demon seemed to destroy the enemy in big time, but he didn't go on with the attacks. Instead, he closed his eyes and stood calmly upon the altars, trying to regulate the demonic qi flows inside his body. The Honor Demon might be unimaginably powerful, and he was definitely invincible in the world, but he wasn't absolutely invulnerable. At least, the attacks from Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang had definitely caused quite a severe injury on him.

That aside, the Honor Demon chose not to keep attacking also because he wanted to rest for a while and protect the altar. After all, Xuan Bing's incredible attack had defeated all the seven great cultivators who had been protecting the altar. The Honor Demon stayed around the altar, so he could wait and see what would happen next!

The Honor Demon didn't keep the fight going, and Ye Xiao couldn't keep the fight going. The three most powerful cultivators he had, including himself, had lost their power to attack. Jun Yinglian might have lost her power to attack as well. She had just saved Xuan Bing by catching her from falling from the sky, and she got injured both inside and outside. Although she wasn't as injured as the other three, she was greatly weakened. When she was feeding Xuan Bing the supreme dan beads, she swallowed some for herself. Luckily, Ye Xiao had done a great preparation job in giving everybody enough supreme dan beads. The dan beads, which were only heard as legends, were like some cheap medicines in his people's pockets! They just got so many of them!

All in all, the Honor Demon or Ye Xiao, everybody wanted to cease the fight for a while to recover.

"Ice and snow in three thousand Zhang!"

"Moon in the sky!"

When Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang were attacking the Honor Demon, Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were trying their best to hold the other people of the Demon Soul Dao off. Now, as the three strongest persons failed, these three started to attack the Honor Demon together!

They were rushing toward the Honor Demon who was resting beyond the altar.

Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han chose quite a good time to make this attack, though. The Honor Demon had just gotten injured by the incredible attacks from Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang. This time, it was the same for the Honor Demon. He couldn't move aside, or the altar would be damaged. Once again, the Honor Demon had to fight in a tough way!

Where there was an opportunity, there was always a danger. Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han chose to attack the Honor Demon, so those enemies they were supposed to hold off were set free!

Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han got the chance to attack the Honor Demon, and those who were held off by them got their own opportunity as well…

Opportunity!

A red shadow flashed! The Red in the Sky suddenly showed up in front of Ye Xiao like a ghost. The red silk ribbon in his hand quietly approached Ye Xiao's neck.

"Rat!"

Xue Danru and the Moon Queen had been watching out for Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Li Wuliang, and now they both took a move to stop the Red in the Sky.

Almost at the same time, that short fatty, who had fought against Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue, started to rush toward Li Wuliang.

Apparently, Han Bingxue and the two ladies' opponents started to attack Ye Xiao and the other injured people! It was such a dangerous time!

Danger could sometimes become an opportunity. They could have been killed when the enemies attacked, but they could also kill the enemies when they approached!

Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shined with cold lights. The next moment, the Stars Sword in his hand had become a long speeding sword light, shooting out toward the enemy.

Before the short fatty got to Li Wuliang, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. The Stars Sword went right through his chest, and the blasting qi around the blade had exploded in his chest.

The short fatty screeched and stopped running. As he looked down at his own chest, he couldn't believe that hole was truly in his chest. The inner organs were all broken into pieces around the bloody empty chest, and he could clearly see them. The blood ran over his body, and he looked pretty desperate.

The Stars Sword got into him from his back, so the sword was now in front of him, standing on the ground, sticking deep into the soil, shining with the light of stars.

The short fatty's empty chest started to be encircled by some crazily rolling dark qi. The dark qi kept wrapping the injured chest, trying to fix the hole, but the purple qi from the East-rising Purple Qi was covering the entire chest. No matter how much dark qi gathered over, it wouldn't help.

The short fatty had fought against Xuan Bing, and then fought against Han Bingxue. He didn't win any fights, but he didn't lose, either, until this moment. He was quite a powerful cultivator, but unluckily, he was hasty for earning the credit. If he didn't hurry up, Ye Xiao might not be able to kill him with one flying sword attack. Unfortunately, carelessness was always the biggest enemy in the battle. The short fatty's failure proved the truth!

"Master…"

The short fatty actually begged for help from the Honor Demon.

His demonic energy couldn't save him this time, so he figured the only chance he had was to beg his master for help!

The Honor Demon was resting in meditation, but the strong instinct of a great cultivator told him the danger approached. Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were close.

"You are such a bunch of useless junks!"

The Honor Demon looked cold and ruthless. He couldn't help shouting at his own people, and obviously was unhappy for the uselessness of them.

[I have defeated the three most powerful enemies in one fight! You… You can't even stop others?]

The Honor Demon only cared about the safety of the Demonic Flame Altars. He didn't realize that the entire Demon Soul Valley was in a mess. Countless cultivators were giving up their lives to fight the battle. The most powerful people under the Honor Demon's command, such as the Red in the Sky, were only at the same level of Yue Shuang and Yue Han.

The best of them only reached the Cage Phase, far away from the Golden Core.

The power of the Cage Phase cultivators was enough to fight the regular cultivators, but they were never able to stop powerful cultivators like Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han. They wanted to, but they just couldn't.

That was why Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han dared to fight multiple enemies at the same time!

The Honor Demon took a deep breath and stood up. He didn't step back, but only rushed forward to the three people. He had to do this. He was not sure if he could keep the altar safe while fighting beyond the altar, so he couldn't take the risk.

He got injured, that was why he might fail to protect the altar.

The seven great cultivators who used to guard the altar were all severely injured. One of them was dying. The Honor Demon hated Xuan Bing so much for it.

[That damn woman!]

[She has been hiding so deep.]

[I thought she was only a maid to Ye Xiao, just a woman he played. I knew she was talented, but I thought she was limited. Unexpectedly… This woman… This woman is similarly powerful as Ye Xiao. Her strategy, her profound view, her experience in the battlefield are even beyond Ye Xiao's league. Since when is there such a powerful cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm?]

The demonic qi rose and rolled again. The Honor Demon was fighting against Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han at the same time.

He heard the shorty fatty's voice, but he chose to ignore him.

"Here it is! Our opportunity! The Honor Demon left the altar." Ye Xiao's eyes lit up. He didn't withdraw the Stars Sword immediately. Instead, he suddenly shouted to somewhere, saying a word that didn't make sense at the current situation. "Eat!"

…
