Chapter 784: Chapter 778: Beyond Expectations

"Don’t bother struggling."

The ancient Demon Flame Saint sneered with a bizarrely grim smile and then his gaunt claw-like hand suddenly reached out, shrouding in pale blue flames. As he swept through the air, he left a terrifying trail and fiercely struck towards the white-haired elder.

"No good!"

The white-haired elder knew the fearsomeness of the pale blue flames and felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Then, he hastily retreated, conjuring a layer of azure light in front of him that formed a barrier.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Wherever the pale blue flames went, they incinerated everything, quickly dissolving the azure light barrier, which only resisted for a brief moment.

On the other side, Shen Luo also made her move, swinging her hand and launching a spear formed purely of Heavenly Demon Qi. It pierced through the void and attacked the white-haired elder’s back.

The joint attack of two superpower beings immediately pushed the white-haired elder into an extremely perilous situation.

Even a Sixth Grade Martial Saint would not endure such a ferocious assault.

"Damn it!"

Caught in the pincer attack, the white-haired elder flipped his hand and took out a crimson feather from his Qiankun Ring. As soon as the feather appeared, he crushed it into dust, and a red light shield swiftly expanded, enveloping him.

Boom!

An earth-shattering blast echoed, and the next moment, the white-haired elder was engulfed in Demonic Qi. However, that red light shield proved incredibly robust, warding off the intense and bone-chilling Demonic Qi.

Seizing this opportunity, the white-haired elder instantly turned and bolted away, but as soon as his form flickered, he collided with the Five-pointed Star Demon Array and was bounced back.

"Dammit, thinking such a level of array could stop me."

The white-haired elder’s eyes sank, and he raised his hand, ready to tear the array apart and flee.

"Now it’s your turn."

At that moment, the Invincible Demon Saint looked towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan did not reply; instead, his figure shifted, and he dashed straight into the array, soon after appearing not far behind the white-haired elder.

"Space, halt!"

A sharp cry resounded from Ye Xuan’s mouth, and the space around him suddenly froze, trapping everyone, including the white-haired elder, in suspended space.

"Scram!"

The white-haired elder’s eyes became murky. He didn’t believe that a mere Ye Xuan could bind him. Even with space halt, the effectiveness depended on the caster’s cultivation strength. Ye Xuan, a Second Grade Martial Saint, trying to restrain him was simply ludicrous.

"Just stay put."

With a Space Crystal Stone in hand, the power of the space halt Ye Xuan released was thrice as strong. Even the white-haired elder couldn’t hope to break free in an instant.

"How is this possible?"

The white-haired elder was shocked to find himself incapable of escaping Ye Xuan’s spatial bind, showing an incredulous expression.

In the meantime, Shen Luo and the ancient Demon Flame Saint finished gathering their power; overwhelming Demon Flames and dense masses of demonic shadows swept toward the white-haired elder, covering the sky.

Seeing this, the Invincible Demon Saint and the Overlord Demon Saint slightly curled their lips; the white-haired elder was doomed.

However, at this critical juncture, the white-haired elder instead calmed down. He silently recited something, and soon his body began to emit white radiance, as if it was disintegrating.

"Heavenly Life Soul Transformation Spell!"

The white-haired elder’s body broke down inch by inch, his skin that was once as smooth as a baby’s rapidly withered away. Eventually, it crumbled to pieces. Yet, his aura became extremely powerful, and Ye Xuan felt the force of the space halt being instantly shattered.

"Damn it."

Ye Xuan’s expression changed abruptly. In that instant, the two horrifying attacks launched by Shen Luo and the ancient Demon Saint collided fiercely, obscuring the view.

Boom!

The terrifying aftershocks of the Qi Force swept through, generating tumultuous waves, but Ye Xuan’s gaze wasn’t fixed on the center of the explosion. Instead, he looked toward another area where the space twisted inch by inch, vanishing in a flash, evidently the white-haired elder had already escaped into the void.

The moment the white-haired elder used the Heavenly Life Soul Transformation Spell, Ye Xuan had felt something amiss. But he was too late; the power of the spell had shaken him back, and with Shen Luo and the ancient Demon Saint’s attacks colliding, he couldn’t get close enough, even if he wanted to deploy another spatial freeze, it was already too late.

"He actually got away?"

Ye Xuan’s expression turned unsightly, having not anticipated that despite their meticulous preparations, the white-haired elder had still slipped through their grasp.

This left a significant loose end.

"After all, he is a Sixth Grade Martial Saint. It’s quite impossible to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Shen Luo shook his head as well.

"There’s no need to worry too much. The spell that old man used backfired greatly. His painstakingly cultivated Sacred Body is basically destroyed, and it’s highly unlikely he will recover. He won’t pose any threat anymore." The ancient Demon Saint said indifferently.

"If we had known, we should have prepared earlier. We were too careless."

Ye Xuan was disgruntled. The white-haired elder’s escape wasn’t much of a threat to the Demon Clan, but for him, it was a significant one. He was certain that the old man wouldn’t dare to trouble the Demon Clan and would surely transfer his resentment onto him.

This was undoubtedly a major problem.

"Now that these two have been dealt with, Emperor Xi Sect probably poses no more threat. Next, we should search for the treasure vault of Emperor Xi Sect and see if there’s anything worthwhile."

A glint of greed flashed in the ancient Demon Saint’s eyes.

"That makes sense."

Though not particularly fond of the ancient Demon Saint, Ye Xuan felt the other was making a valid point. The Demon Clan had a rule: no matter what place they plundered, the spoils went to whoever got there first, and others were forbidden from laying claim. Even those with greater strength were not allowed to do so.

Of course, what happened after the war was another matter altogether.

The Emperor Xi Sect, being one of the few Seventh Grade Sects in the Central Domain, surely had a rich collection.

"Let’s go! We’ll talk more once we get out!"

Shen Luo waved his hand, and the surrounding space twisted immediately, revealing a passageway. Everyone moved swiftly and slipped into the passageway, disappearing from sight.

...

Outside.

The gates of Emperor Xi Sect were still under the throes of a fierce battle. Although the Demon Clan’s army fought bravely, many disciples and Elders of Emperor Xi Sect put up a fight with combined arrays for defense. It was quite normal that they couldn’t be conquered in a short time.

However, this was only temporary. Now that most of the Emperor Xi Sect had been overrun, with heavy losses and in retreat, they had gradually concentrated within a ten-thousand-zhang radius of the central plaza.

Ye Xuan and his group appeared one after another above this central plaza. Their powerful presences alone were enough to make the defending disciples of Emperor Xi Sect fall into despair.

Bang!

A body was thrown down, crashing hard in front of the many disciples of Emperor Xi Sect. It was Yuxiaozi.

Yuxiaozi had been disassembled by Shen Luo’s technique, but she naturally had a way to restore the body back to its original state.

"Sect Leader!"

The disciples of Emperor Xi Sect’s complexions changed dramatically. Upon seeing Yuxiaozi’s body, their last sliver of fighting spirit crumbled in an instant.
