Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Dark Demon Lord

All three of them entered the main hall of the Devil Cult, and immediately sensed something was amiss; all other doors and windows had been sealed shut, blocking out the light, and casting the room into deep darkness, befitting the name of the Devil Cult.

Because the main door was open, there was still some light filtering in, and they could see a figure sitting on the dais with legs crossed, looking quite pleased, as if eagerly awaiting Jian Shen and his companions’ arrival.

Lin Xi didn’t mince her words and immediately demanded, "You must be the Devil Incarnate of the Devil Cult, right? Speak up, where have you imprisoned Jian Shen’s master?"

Mo Yun stood right beside the Devil Incarnate, looking smug, and pointed to the side.

Jian Shen, Lin Xi, and Lu Bei looked over and saw a person bound in a corner of the great hall. Due to the darkness, they could not make out the face, but could feel that his head was drooping, hanging on to life by a thread.

Jian Shen, anxious, rushed over to rescue his mentor, only to be met with a lash that forced him back, his eyes flashing with a hint of hatred.

The one who had struck was naturally Mo Yun, who casually remarked, "Don’t be in such a hurry. We haven’t yet agreed on the terms and you’re already thinking about taking him away. Aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?"

Lin Xi snorted, "What terms, expecting Jian Shen to join the Devil Cult? Dream on."

"You must be Qian Ye," the Devil Incarnate spoke up, his voice deep as he slowly rose to his feet and descended the steps, "Qian Feng said she despises traitors. I want to marry Qian Feng, and I’ve been worrying about what to offer as a betrothal gift. You’ve conveniently presented yourself."

"What, you want to marry Qian Feng?" Lin Xi was taken aback, but then burst into laughter, "You must be dreaming. I know Qian Feng’s temperament best; she has nothing but contempt for men like you."

Hearing this, the Devil Incarnate’s face darkened, "You trespass into my Devil Cult, injure my people, and speak insolently. It seems today’s matters won’t end amicably."

"It’s clearly your fault for not being willing to negotiate properly and making unreasonable demands," Lin Xi said, laying the blame entirely at the feet of the Devil Cult.

"Qian Feng mentioned you were formidable and to be wary of you. Fine, I will see for myself just how capable you are." As he spoke, the Devil Incarnate gathered a strong surge of Demonic Qi in his hand, and instantly, the atmosphere around him grew oppressive, making even Jian Shen’s Jian Qi seem inferior.

"No way, he’s that powerful?" Lin Xi began to regret provoking such a formidable opponent.

Jian Shen was astonished, "I had thought the Ultimate Demon Power was lost to time; I didn’t expect to see it revealed in your hands."

"Worthy of being Jian Shen, I see you know your stuff," the Devil Incarnate said proudly, and then hurled a palm strike.

Lin Xi was no pushover. She immediately cast a spell, deploying a Protective Barrier that astonishingly blocked the attack, shocking everyone present.

The Devil Incarnate paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Not bad, not bad, you blocked one strike, but can you block the second?" With that, he unleashed another palm strike.

Lin Xi’s Protective Barrier shattered instantly, but she was well-prepared. Once again, she cast a spell, sending out a terrifying storm with her palms that blew both the Devil Incarnate and Mo Yun away.

Lu Bei, watching from the side, was stunned, "No way. You’re even more formidable than the rumors suggested."

Hearing this, Lin Xi was displeased, "Call me a witch again, and I’ll throw you out there to feed the enemy."

Lu Bei realized he had misspoken and immediately shut his mouth.

Soon, the Devil Incarnate was standing before everyone again. The previous attack had not harmed him at all; instead, it had made him even more excited. And as he approached, everyone got a clear look at his features.

His resolute face, paired with a pair of tiger-like eyes exuding a tyrannical aura, his stride was firm and masculine, demonstrating a strong fighting spirit that was not inferior to Jian Shen.

Jian Shen furrowed his brows, knowing he was facing a very, very tough opponent, and said, "You go rescue my master, I’ll handle things here."

"Okay, be careful." Having said that, Lin Xi cast a spell and rose into the air, speeding towards a corner.

Mo Yun wouldn’t have it. "Thinking of rescuing someone? You didn’t even ask me."

A whip flew at Lin Xi, who was alert enough to dodge it effortlessly, and with a wave of her hand, a gust of wind deflected the second strike.

"Let’s see how many of my lashes you can block." Mo Yun’s jade hand whipped the air, the whip in her grasp coming to life, constantly lashing out, twisting like a mass of snakes, giving Lin Xi quite a bit of trouble.

Lin Xi darted about, shifting left and right, ducking up and down, nearly getting struck by several lashes, which left her in a cold sweat. At the same time, she glanced over to see how Jian Shen was doing and saw that he was now face to face with the Devil Incarnate.

"How about it? You can’t leave this place unless you defeat me," the Devil Incarnate declared with invincible bravado.

"Fine, today I will tear this place apart." Jian Shen refused to back down, his aura soared, his Jian Qi grew stronger by threefold, managing to suppress the Devil Incarnate’s Demonic Qi.

This clash of morale revealed that Jian Shen’s power was still superior to that of the Devil Incarnate. Without saying much more, they clashed palms, fighting with all their might, unleashing a tumultuous surge that swept through the entire hall.

Just as the Devil Cult’s followers entered from outside the hall, the explosive energy sent them all flying outwards, and those with lower power even vomited blood from the shock, wailing in pain.

"No way, that strong!" Mo Yun couldn’t escape either; she too was sent flying.

Lin Xi deployed a Protective Barrier, barely managing to hold on. At that moment, the scene was chaotic; she couldn’t afford to worry about Lu Bei’s situation and could only hope for the best.

After a single palm strike, Jian Shen took three steps back, while the Devil Incarnate retreated four. However, far from being angry, the Devil Incarnate was even more exhilarated. "Good, you truly deserve the title Jian Shen. You’re the opponent I’ve dreamt of. Let us fight our hearts out today."

As the Devil Incarnate charged fiercely, Jian Shen’s brows furrowed, then he brandished his sword to meet the challenge. The two started exchanging moves, their palm and sword skills relentless and unyielding.

The duel between masters was truly breathtaking. Lin Xi was spellbound. She knew Jian Shen was powerful, but she had never seen him fight with his full strength. Today, she did, and only because his opponent was exceptionally strong as well.

Mo Yun, equally astonished, observed the two fighters. On the surface, it seemed they were evenly matched, but in reality, Jian Shen’s swordplay was even more exquisite, gradually gaining the upper hand over the Devil Incarnate. Yet, Mo Yun wasn’t worried and instead, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Sorry, but today, no matter what, Jian Shen can’t win. You’ve come to the wrong place."

Seeing Mo Yun’s confident demeanor, Lin Xi frowned, then she saw Jian Shen, with the force of a thunderous barrage, thrust his sword through the Devil Incarnate, and the outcome was revealed so quickly.
