Chapter 405: Heavenly Heart Mirror, the Myriad Poison Demon King Appears

Mu Longhao, go die!

Tianlian Zhenren suddenly appeared before Mu Longhao, hand gripping the sword hilt, whispering softly.

The sword blade turned, rotating once, that sword pierced straight through Mu Longhao's chest.

This wasn't over; within the sword blade, terrifying Technique erupted again, each strand of Technique able to rend the body, to rend all.

Strands of Technique passed through Mu Longhao's body, spilling out across heaven and earth.

Tianlian Zhenren coldly drew the sword blade, mercilessly saying: "Mu Longhao, do not think that because you come from Tianwai you are invincible under heaven."

"Cough cough cough."

Tianlian Zhenren drew back, she sensed that Mu Longhao's condition was wrong; this person before her had been pierced through the whole body, yet showed no sorrow or anger, only a smile.

Yes, he was smiling, that smile was eerie.

A ferocious smile, as if the wounded person was not him, but herself.

Tianlian Zhenren swung her sword again, but this strike could not fall.

Her arm halted in midair; Tianlian Zhenren stared in shock at her hand, on that arm a wound had appeared at some point, quickly turning black, quickly emitting black qi, within which the silhouettes of worms could be seen, countless worms seeking to burrow into her body and destroy her from within.

"Hum."

Within the meridians, Technique blossomed, crushing all the worms.

Tianlian Zhenren glowered, fixing her gaze on Mu Longhao.

The person before her began to heal, the healing swift; the black qi rising from his body, like worms, twisted together and restored.

"What is this?"

Mu Longhao clenched his fist, sneering: "Useless, Tianlian Zhenren, your attack is not bad, but alas, you cannot kill me."

"Your Technique is merely scratching an itch for me."

"Next, it is my turn to act; you had better be careful."

All along, it has been Tianlian Zhenren striking, while Mu Longhao has constantly been on the receiving end.

He was probing, gauging Tianlian Zhenren's strength.

After a preliminary assessment, the Tianlian Zhenren before him was not strong.

"Bind."

He extended his right hand, binding Tianlian Zhenren; a prison cage suddenly appeared, sealing Tianlian Zhenren.

"Kill."

He opened his mouth, exhaling a mouthful of black qi that enveloped the cage.

The rat demon inside Baihu Cheng stared this way.

Its eyes flashed, a look of anger passing, its gaze fell on Mu Longhao, its stare turning cold and vicious.

He swallowed all the fragments on the ground, then burrowed into the earth, leaving Baihu Cheng.

Mu Longhao watched this scene, making no move.

He did not stop it either, merely watching, observing.

The rat demon's direction of advance was toward the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, not Longshe Cheng nor Longshe Shan.

"Truly greedy."

"But this is also fine; the strongest one must surely be saved for last."

Mu Longhao came to his senses, fixing his gaze on Tianlian Zhenren before him, amidst the enveloping black qi, firelight radiated.

Tianlian Zhenren, waving her sword blade, had flames attached to the blade; these flames were the bane of those poisonous insects.

The Technique lotus transformed into a flame lotus, burning everything.

The cage could not be broken.

Tianlian Zhenren snorted coldly: "A mere cage, also thinking…"

She swung her sword, striking; the cage remained unmoved.

Mu Longhao pointed his right hand at Tianlian Zhenren, opening his mouth.

"Protector."

"Hum."

The cage suddenly fell to the ground, Tianlian Zhenren falling with it.

"Boom—"

The earth, sunken.

Buried several meters underground, Tianlian Zhenren was covered by soil.

Mu Longhao swiftly landed on the ground, his feet trampling the earth.

"Bury."

The earth's power crushed Tianlian Zhenren; the Tianlian Zhenren within the soil felt that immense pressure, the pressure of the earth, which is the power of heaven and earth, which ordinary strength cannot resist.

"Break it for me."

She swung her sword, but her true qi was devoured by the cage.

Her exerted strength was less than half; Tianlian Zhenren's expression grim, that pressure, the earth's power, continually pressed upon her body.

"Deserves death."

"We must leave this place soon."

Tianlian Zhenren understood that lingering underground would get her killed.

Mu Longhao commanded the power of earth, and also commanded the power of plague.

This demon excels in earthly divine abilities.

"Earth like a mountain."

"Suppress."

"The sound came again, the heavy mountain power pressed down."

"Pfft."

"Tianlian Zhenren was suppressed; the mountain and earth forces jointly pressed down, leaving her unable to breathe."

"It's hard to breathe underground to begin with, and she isn't skilled at fighting underground."

"Her breathing grew ragged, and her true qi was scattered."

"Unable to maintain."

"Her strength was also rapidly weakening."

"An illusion appeared before her eyes."

"Hehehe, haven't you fallen yet?"

"If that's the case, then I'll add a bit more pressure."

"Mu Longhao lifted his foot and stomped again."

"Another mountain force pressed down."

"Pfft."

"Tianlian Zhenren spat blood again, her body bending."

"Her knees bent as well."

"Tianlian lotus blooms."

"Hum."

"With all her strength, a single sword shattered the cage, the earth, and the mountain."

"Finding a chance to catch her breath, Tianlian Zhenren immediately flew out."

"She fled to midair, gasping heavily, took a deep look at Mu Longhao, then Tianlian Zhenren turned and left."

"Want to run? Too late."

"Tianlian Zhenren, you are destined to die here."

"Mu Longhao gave chase to kill."

"On the other side, a figure emerged."

"Blocked the path for Tianlian Zhenren to return to the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"The Wan Du Demon King stood with arms crossed, waiting here; he has been present throughout this battle."

"Just watching the show."

"Tianlian Zhenren, you cannot escape."

"This time, they have prepared a trap, waiting for the Heavenly Heart Sect's people to arrive."

"First they'll kill a few, then gradually break the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"No matter who comes, they won't let him leave alive."

"It's you, Wan Du Demon King—you actually allied with Tianwai people?"

"The Wan Du Demon King stood with arms crossed, coldly saying: 'Tianlian Zhenren, your Heavenly Heart Sect has brought disaster to the Monster Race for years; it's time to pay the price.'"

"You are destined to die here."

"The Wan Du Demon King struck, poison filling the sky and covering the heavens."

"Purple poison gas rushed toward Tianlian Zhenren."

"Caught off guard, Tianlian Zhenren inhaled poison gas; her wounds could not stop the poison from invading."

"Pfft."

"Tianlian Zhenren spat blood again, her wounds turned purple."

"Her lips also turned purple."

"You've been poisoned by my poison; you cannot escape."

"Eating you will raise this demon king's strength to the next level."

"Licking his lips, the Wan Du Demon King stared at Tianlian Zhenren; such a strong one would surely taste good if eaten."

"Mu Longhao pursued and came, blocking the rear."

"Tianlian Zhenren is my food; you cannot take her."

"How about we split it?"

"Mu Longhao said nothing and made the first move."

"The Wan Du Demon King also did not hesitate, immediately acted."

"Tianlian Zhenren gritted her teeth, took out a mirror, and shattered it."

"Boom."

"The mirror cleared, a strange fluctuation echoed, and Tianlian Zhenren disappeared among the fragments."

"The attacks of the Wan Du Demon King and Mu Longhao missed; they exchanged a glance, their eyes cold."

"Damn, she got away."

"It's the Heavenly Heart Sect's Heaven-Heart Mirror; she can't escape—chase!"
