Chapter 1073: Jialun the Battle Demon

A silver-haired woman's expression changed the moment she saw the monstrous entity. A crystal glow from her hand flashed and disappeared, and she sternly shouted at Han Li,

"It has forcibly pushed its demonic attack to its limit! If you don't lend me this cauldron, none of us will be able to withstand this demon!"

No sooner had Linglong finished speaking than a loud roar erupted from within the mist. A thick, dark column of black light shot through the air, striking directly at Daoist Xuanqingzi.

The Daoist priest was greatly alarmed. The ancient sword in his hand turned into a swirling mist, and countless yellow sword energies spewed forth, barely managing to block the attack. But at that very moment, the demonic energy violently churned, and a huge, three-headed demonic shadow suddenly burst out from the demonic energy, flashing and then vanishing.

As Xuanqingzi stood stunned, a silent black light flashed above him, and the three-headed demonic shadow suddenly appeared from the void.

However, Xuanqingzi had fought countless battles, and his experience was naturally extraordinary. He sensed the demonic shadow almost the instant it appeared. Without hesitation, he swiftly struck backward with his ancient sword. At the same time, his body flickered, and he spun into a streak of light, rapidly shooting away to escape.

The heads on the left and right sides of the massive demonic shadow sneered. From their huge mouths, two black light pillars flashed forth. One of the sword energies released by the ancient sword was instantly shattered upon contact with one pillar. The other pillar, after a flash, inexplicably caught up with the streak of light into which Xuanqingzi had transformed, easily engulfing him.

The protective light shields formed by an eight-treasure mirror and a jade pendant that the Daoist priest used for defense dissolved and melted within the light pillar in an instant, unable to resist even for a moment.

Greatly alarmed, the Daoist priest quickly brandished the ancient sword in his hand, and dazzling sword light enveloped his body.

Then, within the black light, an explosion sounded. The yellow light flickered a few times before vanishing without a trace. After the Daoist priest let out a scream, there was an abrupt silence.

After the dark light passed, the spot was empty, as if both his magic treasure and nascent soul had been completely evaporated from this world by that light pillar.

Seeing this, the others were stunned.

The Daoist priest had remained safe during the prolonged battle just moments ago, yet he was so easily annihilated the moment the true fight began. The sudden shift was far too drastic.

However, as the others gasped in cold air, they also clearly saw the appearance of the three-headed demon, and a chill ran through their hearts.

It seemed the demon was indeed the transformed black-armored woman.

At this moment, its body was three to four zhang tall. The central head was identical to her original appearance, still a woman's beautiful face, but on either side were two pitch-black wolf heads, the size of water vats, and terrifyingly grotesque. The demon's body was mostly covered by dark black battle armor, while the exposed parts of its limbs were covered in fine, long, dusky wolf fur. Its six hands bore dark green scales, and its palms were empty, but its ten fingers were exceptionally sharp, glinting with an eerie black light.

This demon's size and its act of instantly slaying Xuanqingzi shocked everyone else. However, the demon had clearly expended considerable vital energy. While the two wolf heads showed no abnormalities, the central woman's head was pale, and even the purple light in her eyes had dimmed considerably.

The two eagle-winged, human-bodied demonic creatures that had been billowing smoke and mist within the demonic energy behind the three-headed demon also vanished without a trace after its appearance. Perhaps the demon could no longer sustain so much demonic energy after its transformation.

Half?
