Chapter 916: 法体双修

The old man and his companions were scared out of their wits, their will to fight completely gone. Even though they were wielding forbidden artifacts like the tokens, they couldn't unleash much power. They were easily defeated by the external avatar and the two-headed Ghou. The external avatar captured these individuals for interrogation, while the two-headed Ghou leaped out of the poisonous island to support Qin Sang.

Qin Sang was already locked in battle with the Cave Master of Demonic Worship, and the battlefield was utterly chaotic.

"Bang!"

A figure was repelled, staggering backward.

The Cave Master of Demonic Worship's surprised voice rang out, "You are a body cultivator? This is the first time I've fought a body cultivator of such a high realm. However, with just this much strength, you think you can stop me? That's wishful thinking."

Qin Sang sighed softly, "Indeed, with just my physical body, I cannot be your match."

Before his words faded, Qin Sang's aura changed. A green light surged from his back, and a magnificent pair of phoenix wings unfolded. With a slight flap, Qin Sang transformed into a streak of rainbow light, blocking the Cave Master's path. He fought the old demon alone, wanting to test the fruits of his years of arduous cultivation. His *Heavenly Demon Refinement Technique* had not yet broken through to the middle stage of the third layer. When he had just fought the old demon with only his physical body, he felt tremendous strain, showing signs of defeat after a single encounter. After activating the Heavenly Demon Transformation, Qin Sang's aura surged, but to defeat the old demon, this alone wasn't enough; he needed to unleash the true power of his dual cultivation of body and magic.

"Demonic aura?" The Cave Master of Demonic Worship was startled. It was quite normal for Core Formation cultivators in the Canglang Sea to possess demonic aura. But he had never before seen one with such an intensely concentrated demonic aura. He was certain this person was a human cultivator, not a demon beast. What shocked him even more was Qin Sang's movement speed. After the wings appeared, it surged significantly, already surpassing that of any peak Core Formation cultivator he had ever seen. The Cave Master realized that unless he killed this person, he wouldn't be able to shake him off. Qin Sang's calm and composed demeanor, allowing his spirit beast to guard the flank, also caused the Cave Master to frown deeply. His cultivation was clearly a realm higher, yet for some reason, he had an ominous premonition.

The Cave Master couldn't help but turn his head to look into the distance, as his companions were still nowhere in sight.

"Are you looking for these?" Qin Sang gestured to his side, and a beautiful butterfly appeared out of thin air, fluttering its wings and landing on the back of his hand. In front of it, a lightning orb hovered, containing several mosquito-like spirit insects flying erratically like headless flies. The Cave Master of Demonic Worship was cunning by nature, and he had secretly released more than one communication spirit insect, all of which had been captured by the Heaven's Eye Butterfly.

"Heaven's Eye Butterfly!" The Cave Master of Demonic Worship exclaimed in shock, "A natal insect-parasite? No, you're not a person of the Witch clan, how dare you..."

A strange glint flashed in Qin Sang's eyes. "It seems you are also very proficient in the art of insect control, to recognize the Heaven's Eye Butterfly as my natal insect-parasite at a glance. In that case, I can even less afford to let you live." The lightning orb easily annihilated the spirit insects, and the Heaven's Eye Butterfly flew into Qin Sang's embrace. Qin Sang tapped his foot, and his figure vanished into thin air, appearing above the Cave Master's head in the next moment. Thousands of fist shadows converged, striking down upon the old demon.

"Boom!"

An astonishing aura descended from above.

"If you want to keep me here, let's see if you have the ability!" A fierce expression appeared on the Cave Master of Demonic Worship's face. Since he couldn't shake off this person, he immediately cast aside all distracting thoughts, opened his demonic mouth wide, and spat out a mass of dark demonic light. The demonic light shot skyward, exploding the moment it touched the fist shadows. The demonic light swept across all directions like a raging tide. Countless fist shadows were annihilated by the demonic light, and the demonic light also quickly faded. The two canceled each other out, resulting in an even match.

When the demonic light dispersed, a green light was revealed. The green light trembled slightly, then slowly parted to either side, revealing Qin Sang, who had wrapped himself in his phoenix wings and remained unharmed by the demonic light's impact.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Qin Sang's figure reappeared before the Cave Master of Demonic Worship, twisting slightly, and fiercely striking at the Cave Master's chest.

While the demonic light was obstructing Qin Sang, the Cave Master of Demonic Worship had already summoned his magic treasure: a small, antique bronze bell. It spun upwards, emitting a brilliant yellow light, transforming into a yellow bell phantom that enveloped the Cave Master's figure. At the same time, a blood blade flashed from the Cave Master's dantian, exuding a strong, nauseating smell of blood.

"Dong!"

The bell phantom was struck by a heavy punch, a clang of metal reverberated, and the small bell's main body vibrated wildly. The Cave Master of Demonic Worship flew backward to dissipate the force. Secretly, he chanted an incantation, and the blood blade shot through the air with unyielding speed, heading straight for Qin Sang's glabella. This person's timing was extremely precise; it was exactly when Qin Sang's strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet emerged.

Watching the blood blade fly towards him, Qin Sang showed no fear on his face. A flash of light appeared between his eyebrows, and the Ebony Sword shot out, instantly colliding with the blood blade.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the Ebony Sword and the blood blade each flew back. The Ebony Sword was weaker; after all, it was only a low-grade magic treasure, while the blood blade had already been refined by the Cave Master of Demonic Worship to possess the power of a mid-grade magic treasure.

What followed was the Cave Master of Demonic Worship's roar of rage. He grabbed the blood blade, an expression of extreme shock and fury on his face. This natal magic treasure actually had its divine light scattered, appearing to have suffered a great loss of spirituality.

"What did you do!" The Cave Master of Demonic Worship was furious.

Qin Sang sneered. Since the opponent dared to release his natal magic treasure to clash with the Ebony Sword, he naturally wouldn't hold back, activating the Blood Defilement Divine Light to strike the blood blade. Without a word, he flapped his wings again, simultaneously forming a hand seal. In an instant, fist shadows and the Ebony Sword arrived together, almost overwhelming the Cave Master of Demonic Worship. Before the Cave Master could react, the Ebony Sword flickered, and countless dazzling sword lights dispersed among the fist shadows, making it difficult to distinguish real from fake.

"Sword Light Division." The Cave Master of Demonic Worship was almost numb; his premonition had come true. This person not only cultivated both body and magic and possessed a natal insect-parasite, but he had also mastered a great divine ability coveted by countless sword cultivators. With such strength, he would be regarded as an honored guest in any major force he joined, yet he was hiding in this godforsaken place, and the Cave Master had stumbled upon him.

"Dong, dong..."

The incessant tremors continued. The bell phantom around the Cave Master of Demonic Worship trembled violently, and under his horrified gaze, it shattered into countless fragments, exploding outwards. Qin Sang had not given up on comprehending the Sword Light Division, merely not putting his primary focus on it. But compared to ten years ago, his swordsmanship had certainly deepened another layer. The Cave Master of Demonic Worship's strength was only slightly greater than that of the black-robed man on Dongming Island. With just his powerful swordsmanship and the Sword Light Division divine ability, Qin Sang was capable of fighting this person. After activating the Heavenly Demon Transformation, without using items like the Star Conch, he might still be slightly outmatched against Patriarch Lu or the young man surnamed Fang, but defeating this person was certainly achievable. Now that Qin Sang had even used the Blood Defilement Divine Light, the outcome would be without any suspense.

After the bell phantom was broken, the Cave Master of Demonic Worship successively unleashed magic treasures and talismans and tried to use divine abilities to escape, but all were suppressed by Qin Sang. He couldn't win the fight, and he couldn't escape. The Cave Master of Demonic Worship was utterly despairing.

Chaotic true essence formed a storm, radiating strange lights, making figures indistinguishable. At this moment, a tragic scream was heard.

The storm slowly dispersed. Qin Sang's right arm was seen piercing through the Cave Master of Demonic Worship's left chest, his blood-stained hand grasping a shattered heart.
