Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Demonic Qi Enters the Body

"Woao..."

"Woao..."

The roaring of the Cloud Chasing Beast echoed through the sky.

Zhu Lie, trembling uncontrollably on the ground, was paralyzed with fear and forgot to escape.

The massive Cloud Chasing Beast, five times the size of Zhu Lie, instantly charged at Zhu Lie, grabbing it in its mouth. Blood spurted out, scattering on the ground.

"Howl, howl, howl..."

Zhu Lie let out a pig-like wail, loudly calling: "Holy Venerable, save me..."

"Those who harm my protector, die."

However, amidst the enraged roar of the Heavenly Demon, Zhu Lie’s head was bitten off by the Cloud Chasing Beast.

A blood-soaked pig head rolled onto the ground.

"Buzz..."

The Heavenly Demon was stunned; he hadn’t expected anyone to dare kill his subordinate right in front of him. Though Zhu Lie was a Pig Demon, he was the Right Protector of the Heavenly Demon. Having just arrived in Huaxia, the Heavenly Demon felt as if his heart had been pierced, furious at the loss of an important warrior.

"Hah hah hah..."

The Heavenly Demon howled to the sky in anger: "Dare to kill the Right Protector in front of me; today, I will make you Dragon Abyss Sect pay with blood."

In an instant, demonic qi surged to the sky. Seeing this, Chuyunzi was shocked, "The aura emanating from this person is so familiar... Could it be..."

Lost in thought, Chuyunzi suddenly recalled that Zhang Mingdong once had a similar demonic qi. He urgently shouted: "This person is the Heavenly Demon! Elder Xia, leave quickly. Do not confront him head-on."

But it was too late. The Heavenly Demon had already broken through layer upon layer of barriers, standing before Xiaxia.

The Heavenly Demon no longer concealed his aura, his horns emerging from his head, exuding a faint demonic qi. Against his black attire, he induced fear in anyone who saw him.

"Ho ho ha..."

The Heavenly Demon grinned wickedly, "What is your relation to Yan Rufeng?"

Xiaxia coldly replied: "You are not qualified to know."

"Hehe..."

The Heavenly Demon scoffed: "Dare to kill my person in front of me. You have guts."

Xiaxia smiled faintly, "Since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. Does slaying demons and eliminating devils need courage? I only did what anyone else could do."

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed: "I admire you. Become my servant, and I can spare your life."

"Dream on!"

"Hm..."

Xiaxia snorted coldly, "A mere demon, addressing yourself as ’Venerable’ with every sentence. I wonder what qualifies you to claim such a title."

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon didn’t get angry. Instead, he thought gleefully: "Rather than hiding in Southern Yue to transform ordinary people without cultivation, why not demonize these cultivators in Huaxia directly? It’s even better to demonize Yan Rufeng; that would be truly fulfilling, showcasing my heavenly might to the world..."

The Heavenly Demon smiled devilishly, "Elder Xia, let me show you why I call myself ’Venerable’..."

The Heavenly Demon released a cloud of demonic qi, which instantly enveloped Xiaxia. Chuyunzi, closely watching, exclaimed, "This is bad, Elder Xia is in danger..."

At this moment, the demonic qi surrounding Xiaxia suddenly entered her body. She stiffened, her expression growing vacant. The next moment, her eyes glowed red.

Chuyunzi shouted in alarm, "The demonic qi has entered her body! Elder Xia, quickly use your cultivation technique to expel it!"

Hearing Chuyunzi’s cry, Xiaxia regained a bit of clarity. She hurriedly activated her technique, trying to drive out the demonic qi.

Inside Xiaxia’s body, the demonic qi and spiritual energy battled incessantly. The spiritual energy retreated step by step as the demonic qi rapidly took over several of Xiaxia’s spirit veins.

Once demonic qi invades the dantian, it can spread to the extraordinary meridians. When it finally occupies the Purple Mansion, Xiaxia would be fully demonized by the Heavenly Demon.

The invasion of demonic qi brought immense pain to both body and mind. Sweating profusely, Xiaxia used all her strength but couldn’t expel the qi.

Chuyunzi watched anxiously. Though he had lived for hundreds of years, he had never encountered such a situation. No one in all of Huaxia knew how to expel demonic qi from the body.

"Elder Xia, let me lend you a hand!"

Chuyunzi cast a beam of golden light toward Xiaxia, but it had no effect. Instead, it made Xiaxia suffer even more.

"What should I do?"

Chuyunzi’s cultivation was unmatched in Huaxia, except for Yan Rufeng. Unable to drive out the demonic qi from Xiaxia, who could prevent her from becoming a demon...

"Heavenly Demon, I command you to retrieve the demonic qi from Elder Xia’s body immediately. Otherwise, you won’t leave here alive today." Chuyunzi shouted angrily at the Heavenly Demon.

"Hehe..."

The Heavenly Demon sneered: "Old fool, are you threatening me?"

Chuyunzi retorted fiercely: "It’s not a threat. It’s a fact."

"Haha..."

The Heavenly Demon laughed wickedly: "The fact is, today she must become my servant."

Chuyunzi replied calmly: "Heavenly Demon, since you seek death, I shall grant you your wish."

"Hmph..."

The Heavenly Demon snorted coldly: "Old fool, let me inform you: no one in the world can kill me now. Not even you. Even if everyone here attacks together, it won’t affect me."

The arrogance of the Heavenly Demon incited the crowd’s ire. Someone shouted from amongst them: "Heavenly Demon, stop boasting! Just give Elder Chuyunzi the word, and I’ll be the first to charge at you and chop you up!"

The Heavenly Demon heard clearly, and his expression turned cold: "Those who insult me, die..."

The demonic qi released by the Heavenly Demon shot toward the man like a sharp sword. Faced with this sinister qi, the man’s hair stood on end. He had never felt death so close, and his legs trembled, cold sweat dripping.

Chuyunzi, refusing to let the Heavenly Demon succeed, formed a magic spell and conjured a golden light barrier in front of the man.

"Boom..."

The demonic qi sword clashed with the golden barrier, creating a series of sounds. Thankfully, the Heavenly Demon hadn’t used his full power, or innocent people would have been harmed.

Chuyunzi yelled angrily: "Heavenly Demon, will you or will you not retrieve the demonic qi from Elder Xia’s body?"

Although the Heavenly Demon was a demon, he carried the title of the first warrior of Southern Yue and had come to Huaxia to issue a challenge. If he ignored the rules and killed outright, other countries would criticize him.

Still, the righteous sects valued morality. If the Heavenly Demon demonized Xiaxia in front of everyone, Chuyunzi would have no qualms about attacking him fiercely.

Of course, the Heavenly Demon knew they wouldn’t attack him together, as long as he didn’t go too far. Even with many people present, he would be safe.

The Heavenly Demon smiled: "Old fool, if you want me to release that girl, it’s simple. Have Yan Rufeng come out and fight me..."
