Chapter 199: The Great Demon King

Black Qi filled the sky.

A cold and powerful pressure permeated the heavens and earth.

As the black-Qi skeleton approached, the pressure weighing down on Mu Lingxi grew increasingly intense.

Mu Lingxi was positioned within her Triple Dao Domain.

Her Three Lives Body stood straight, and in the face of the overwhelming pressure, her form did not waver in the slightest.

Her expression was calm.

The Three Lives Body simultaneously raised their jade hands and pointed forward.

A stream of water rapidly emerged and elongated, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant Water Sword.

If one looked closely, one could discover something.

The water forming the Water Sword was not in a static state, but was flowing at extreme speed.

The terrifying speed of the water combined with the thin blade derived a sharpness sufficient to make one's scalp tingle, causing the space around the blade to become distorted, as if it might be sliced open at any moment.

Even more terrifying was that within this Water Sword, strands of palm-sized, snake-like electrical currents were dancing.

These electric snakes appeared weak, but the aura of Destruction Power they inadvertently leaked revealed that they were not as simple as they looked.

"Slash!"

As the hair and dresses of Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body fluttered backward, they all let out a low shout in unison.

The giant Water Sword before them slashed out instantly.

Hiss~~~

The moment the Water Sword slashed onto the black-Qi skeleton, a harsh, piercing hiss suddenly erupted from the skeleton's mouth.

The next moment, the entire black-Qi skeleton was instantly split in two.

Crackle~

On the black-Qi skeleton that had turned into two halves, strands of electric snakes slithered.

A terrifying Destruction Power erupted.

Boom~

Boom~

Amidst the deafening roars, the two halves of the black-Qi skeleton exploded and were completely shattered.

The black-Qi skeleton was Lin Yichen's all-out strike.

Within it, it not only fused his Dao Domain but also contained a wisp of his Soul Power.

As the black-Qi skeleton shattered, the wisp of Soul Power attached within it was also slashed away along with it.

The instant the black-Qi skeleton shattered, his vision went black, and a heart-wrenching pain suddenly surged through his mind.

"Ah~"

He clutched his head and screamed in agony.

A moment later.

When he raised his head again, everyone realized that he was already bleeding from his seven orifices, his face covered in blood, looking like a ferocious evil ghost.

Lin Yichen...

Was defeated!

The invincible Lin Yichen of Shenmu City had been defeated by an unknown female Cultivator from an outer city!

Seeing this scene, everyone's gaze could not help but turn blank.

Immediately after, as everyone looked at the man on the Battle Stele, they all revealed expressions of envy.

Such a stunning woman was actually willing to guard the Dao for him.

He was merely a Golden Core Mid Stage Cultivator.

This level of cultivation might be considered extremely high in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the Assessment Secret Realm where geniuses gathered, it was nothing.

By what right could he have such a stunning woman follow him so devotedly?

At this moment,

Wang Jianqiang could clearly feel pairs of eyes filled with jealousy and envy landing on him.

To this, he only smiled faintly.

With a flicker of his figure, he appeared before the three Mu Lingxis.

He looked at Lin Yichen indifferently.

"The number one of Shenmu City, is this it?"

"You keep saying you want Lingxi to be your Dao Companion, but you..."

"Don't seem to be very capable."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's mocking tone, Lin Yichen suddenly raised his head, "A piece of trash who only knows how to hide behind a woman and bully others by relying on her power, you are worthy of saying this to me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Lingxi, then turned his head to look at Wang Jianqiang, "My skills were inferior, and I was defeated by her hands; I admit it."

"But you, what qualification do you have to mock me?"

"Like trash such as you, even the current me could easily crush you to death with one hand."

"Is that so?"

"I..."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Just at this moment, a fierce look suddenly flashed across Lin Yichen's face; without waiting for Wang Jianqiang to finish speaking, he reached out and pressed forward without warning.

A tentacle formed from black Qi spread instantly like a chain onto Wang Jianqiang, binding him tightly.

Then it retracted instantly, returning to the space above his head.

"Hahaha, you idiot!"

"To dare to get this close to me, you are truly courting death!"

"Trash is just trash."

Lin Yichen glanced at Wang Jianqiang above his head, then looked at Mu Lingxi, and said smugly, "Open your Soul Origin defenses and let me plant a Soul Seal, otherwise I will slaughter this piece of trash."

Hearing Lin Yichen's words, Mu Lingxi was stunned, and a strange look flashed across her face.

Not just her; on the Battle Stele, the expressions of Su Yutong and Xing Li were also quite strange, and they could not help but let pity well up in their eyes.

Seeing Mu Lingxi unmoved, Lin Yichen's expression turned cold, "Do as I say quickly, or I will kill him immediately!"

"You can try." Mu Lingxi shrugged, her face full of indifference.

Lin Yichen was stunned.

This reaction is not right!

He frowned and looked at Mu Lingxi, "With your cultivation and strength, since you are willing to stoop to being this trash's protector, you must have some leverage held by the forces behind him."

"Once he dies, you will certainly be implicated."

"Don't think you can deceive me by pretending to be calm."

"Release your Soul defenses immediately, or I will cripple his cultivation first."

Hearing Lin Yichen's words, Mu Lingxi's expression became even stranger.

"Protector?"

"He has no need for me to protect him."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Lin Yichen was stunned again.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi could not help but laugh, "If you had managed to capture Senior Sister Su as a hostage, I fear we truly wouldn't dare to move against you easily today."

"Even if you had captured Daoist Friend Xing Li, you would still have a glimmer of hope for survival."

"Unfortunately, the one you captured..."

"Is the one person you should least have captured."

Lin Yichen's expression tightened, "I don't understand what nonsense you are spouting."

Mu Lingxi shook her head, "Have you ever considered a possibility, perhaps he is the one among the four of us..."

"Who is the strongest?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yichen's heart gave a violent jolt.

At the same time, a powerful aura that made his scalp tingle suddenly came from above his head.

He looked up abruptly, only to discover that the person above his head, whom he had regarded as trash, had somehow expanded several times in size.

A pure and domineering physical strength erupted.

His black Qi restraints were like paper, snapping instantly.

The terrifying power, after tearing through the black Qi restraints, continued to spread in all directions.

Before he could even recover his senses.

His chest suddenly felt stifled.

Puchi~

As if struck by a giant beast, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"Impossible!"

His body flew backward uncontrollably, and a cry of shock escaped his lips.

At the same time.

This sudden scene also left everyone in the Square in a daze.

Such powerful strength!

Their previous guesses seemed to have been wildly off the mark!

This person was definitely not the trashy second-generation heir they had previously guessed.

But rather...

A complete and utter Great Demon King!
