Chapter 256: Ten Thousand Swords Fire Together

Feeling his own vitality fading, Quan Wu's resentment grew increasingly intense.

"I must kill… that fox demon! Let her… accompany this palace in death!"

Quan Wu trembled as he reached out and tightly grabbed the arms of the two demon tribe elders beside him, using his last bit of strength, he intermittently gave his final instruction: "Go search… the human woman's soul, turn her… her memories…. into…. a lingering image, to supply… the two tribes…"

As soon as his words finished, Quan Wu's body went limp and collapsed.

"Your Highness!" The demon tribe's faces changed, and they shouted loudly.

The two demon tribe elders checked Quan Wu's breath, confirmed he had died, and their feelings were a mix of shock, grief, and uncontrollable anger.

"Seal Binding Peace City, fully pursue and kill that fox demon! This elder will make that fox demon pay blood debt with blood!"

His voice was loud enough to cover the entire Binding Peace City.

The demon tribe quickly took action.

In just a moment, the city's sealing formation was already activated.

After the two demon tribe elders exchanged a glance, they handed Quan Wu's corpse to the dark guards to watch over, then immediately sent the news to Green City and… to the Demon Emperor residing in the Demon Realm!

The matter of the crown prince being assassinated by a fox demon will surely cause a huge uproar like a stone thrown into water!

In the Demon Realm, the crown prince was like the moon surrounded by stars, controlling multiple forces, with his subordinates being strong like clouds, his power second only to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Venerable Kui Shi!

Now the crown prince was actually killed by a insignificant little fox demon; if the monster tribe does not give a reasonable explanation, how could our demon tribe let it rest!

After the two demon tribe elders finished delivering the news, they split up: one went to pursue and kill the fox demon, the other went to find the human woman the Your Highness had mentioned before his death—Lu Xiangxiang.

At the same time, Lu Xiangxiang, who was under house arrest in the side room, suddenly heard the demon tribe elder's voice, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

She paced back and forth in the room.

She felt restless and uneasy.

Lu Xiangxiang then heard from outside the sounds of "pursuing or hunting the fox demon," and faintly heard the words "Your Highness has met with misfortune."

Lu Xiangxiang's steps paused slightly, her face changed drastically, and she calmly thought it over.

Who is secretly dealing with Quan Wu?

How could someone as cunning as Quan Wu possibly meet with misfortune?

But as soon as she thought of the fate of the Demon King Qu Ya, her mood plummeted to the bottom.

This life's course is completely different from the previous life.

Just then——

Bang!

The door was violently kicked open, shards scattering everywhere, and that tall demon tribe elder appeared before Lu Xiangxiang.

The demon tribe elder's eagle-like, sharp and deep gaze locked onto Lu Xiangxiang, and he instantly released a powerful pressure, rendering her unable to move.

He reached his hand toward Lu Xiangxiang's head.

Lu Xiangxiang instantly realized he intended to forcibly use the Soul Search Technique on her!

Moreover, he wanted to preserve the memories he searched for as a lingering image!

If he truly succeeded, then everything from her past and present lives would be exposed.

By then, her situation would become perilous.

No!

She must escape!

She bit her tongue tip, burning her essence blood, briefly breaking free from the demon tribe elder's pressure, then quickly summoned something and opened a teleportation scroll.

"Don't even think of escaping!" The demon tribe elder obviously hadn't expected her to have a trick up her sleeve; as he spoke, he raised his palm and slammed it hard toward her direction.

Boom!

The palm strike landed solidly on Lu Xiangxiang's body, and just as she was about to tumble to the ground, she was teleported away.

"Damn it!" The demon tribe elder roared, and immediately tracked her by her lingering aura.

The matters the Your Highness had arranged before his death must be completed!

A moment earlier——

Yuan Yao left the main house via the teleportation formation, arrived near the city lord's mansion gate, and without hesitation drew her sword and charged out of the city lord's mansion.

Numerous demon tribesmen surrounded her.

Boom—

Yuan Yao's sword cut down dozens of demon tribesmen; after a brief struggle, she noticed the formidable demon tribe dark guards from the city lord's mansion had arrived, she cut down the last few guarding the gate, and then stood at the city lord's mansion gate.

She turned back, smiling warmly at the approaching demon tribe dark guards.

She held the sword horizontally before her chest, raised her left hand, without hesitation gripped the blade, slid slightly, and in an instant fresh blood dyed the Phantom Spirit Sword red.

Immediately, she controlled the Phantom Spirit Sword and plunged it into the exact center ahead!

"Blood Sacrifice Formation, Ten Thousand Swords Fire Together!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, already carrying a hint of aura.

Boom—

In an instant, the entire city lord's mansion fell into violent turmoil; when one demon tribe elder arrived, they saw the mansion's ground actually crack open a fissure, a massive formation totem tens of zhang in size faintly appearing within the crack, continuously spewing out dazzling white light.

Following a sword's ringing sound.

Immediately followed by a series of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds of tearing air, countless blades of icy light shot forth like a locust swarm from the formation totem, covering the sky and shooting straight toward the heavens' peak.

Its momentum was magnificent and grand!

This is a False Saint Tier Sword Formation!

"Ahhh……" Many demon tribe guards' miserable cries rang out.

Accompanied by the clashing of weapons.

That demon tribe elder's face darkened; he immediately used pressure to shatter the surrounding blades, then condensed surging magical power and blasted toward the formation barrier!

Bang!

A loud blast!

The formation barrier trembled slightly, but it was not broken.

Yuan Yao watched the scene with satisfaction, a proud smile curling at the corners of her lips.

While hiding in the city lord's residence for those few hours, she set up formations throughout the place. It didn't cost her so much effort and a large amount of spirit stones to lay this sword formation!

Phantom Spirit!

At the call, the multicolored long sword returned to Yuan Yao's hand.

Yuan Yao flashed a sly smile at the demon clan Elder, then immediately fled the city lord's residence.

The demon clan Elder's face turned extremely grim in an instant; he immediately employed all his skill, thrusting both palms together toward the sword formation!

Bang!

The formation roiled violently.

Another palm!

Cracks began to appear in the formation!

One more palm!

Crack—

The formation instantly shattered like broken glass, exploding, and the fierce sword qi within the sword formation dissipated at once.

When the demon clan Elder turned around, he saw that more than half of the demons in the city lord's residence were dead or wounded!

He was so angry his chest kept heaving, without time to say anything, he immediately chased after Yuan Yao in the direction she fled.

And the fleeing Yuan Yao also sensed that the formation had already shattered; she thought to herself: the pseudo‑saint‑tier formation is still too weak, it couldn't even trap that demon clan Elder for a moment!

Yuan Yao could only sprint.

They kept running, and the demon soldiers patrolling the city also received orders, quickly converging on Yuan Yao's direction.

Yuan Yao immediately focused her thoughts, launching a wide-range psychic attack on those demon soldiers.

the demon soldiers also received the order, quickly converging toward Yuan Yao's direction.

Yuan Yao immediately focused her mind, launching a large‑scale mental attack on those demon soldiers.

"Ahhh…"

【86】 Most of the demon soldiers, uncontrolled, dropped their weapons and began clutching their heads in wails.

【87】 Their mental power was far too weak for Yuan Yao, so she simultaneously invaded their consciousness sea and ravenously devoured their mental power.
