Chapter 136: The Might of the Five Elements

Yang Mei did not see through Yu Chiyan's intentions, but Yang Xiaoxiao did. Yang Xiaoxiao was a Demon Son of the Demon Capital; he had heard that the Five Elements Demon Sect possessed such an array that could destroy a Demon Venerable, but currently, it only had two elements and was merely a remnant array. He did not know how powerful it was, but he had to eliminate the risk in its infancy.

A whirlwind whipped up around Yang Xiaoxiao, and a Momentum formed between Yang Xiaoxiao, Yu Chiyan, and the others. Fearing that a long delay would lead to trouble, Yang Xiaoxiao struck a palm toward Yu Chiyan before his momentum had even finished building.

Although Yu Chiyan was not a Demon Son of the Demon Capital—as the selection for Demon Son had requirements regarding cultivation realm and one had to be below the Demon Saint level, causing Yu Chiyan to lose the opportunity—not being a Demon Son did not mean he was inferior to one.

Yu Chiyan did not even look, meeting Yang Xiaoxiao's palm with one of his own.

Yang Xiaoxiao had comprehended the Wind Origin and could build up momentum, so his power was exceptionally great; this palm strike sent Yu Chiyan stumbling back two steps.

Yu Chiyan gave a cold laugh: "A Demon Son of the Demon Capital, nothing more than this."

Having suffered successive blows from Meng Su and Li Huan'er, Yang Xiaoxiao was already sensitive about his qualifications as a Demon Son. Hearing Yu Chiyan's mockery, he was furious.

"Killing you is enough."

"That is not necessarily true."

Yu Chiyan's whole body shook, a faint green light appeared around his body, and a powerful heat baked the stones beneath his feet until they were almost melting. Then he took a step forward and also struck a palm toward Yang Xiaoxiao.

Yang Xiaoxiao was not afraid. Although Yu Chiyan was a Demon Saint, the condition to become a Demon Son was that one must be able to kill a Demon Saint. He had already killed no fewer than a hundred Demon Saints. Now that he had encountered Yu Chiyan's challenge, his heroic spirit surged. He met Yu Chiyan's palm with his own.

The two palms collided, stirring up a wild wind. This wind suddenly spread in all directions, carrying scorching energy.

Under the palm strike, Yu Chiyan retreated another two steps. In a pure contest of strength, Yu Chiyan was no match, but how could fighting be just about strength? If it were only about strength, why bother cultivating as a Demon? Why cultivate Supernatural Abilities?

Yang Xiaoxiao laughed loudly: "The Sect Master of the Fire Demon Sect is nothing more than this."

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoxiao paused. He saw that his own palm wind had been infused with Yu Chiyan's Five Elements Fire. What had already scattered in all directions now suddenly collapsed inward, rapidly condensing into a jade-green palm; this was a verdant flame.

It struck toward Yang Xiaoxiao. Yang Xiaoxiao was helpless. He did not want to dodge; he was a Demon Son, and a Demon Son had a Demon Son's pride. A Demon Son was a candidate for the Supreme Demon; how could he lose the courage to face an enemy?

So, Yang Xiaoxiao met the jade-green palm with a palm carrying a wild wind. Under the powerful wind force, the palm's fire suddenly surged, and with a boom, it surrounded Yang Xiaoxiao. Yang Xiaoxiao became a human torch.

Five Elements Fire overcomes Five Elements Metal, but it also indirectly overcomes wind.

Thus, Yang Xiaoxiao was caught off guard.

Yang Mei, on the side, was greatly shocked. Yang Xiaoxiao, who had been holding the upper hand, had suddenly been hit. She had not yet come to her senses.

In his haste, Yang Xiaoxiao activated his Demon Body, his Gang Body.

The Gang Body was the ultimate of strength; if cultivated to perfection, one would be Ten Thousand Laws Untouched. However, Yang Xiaoxiao's Gang Body was still a long way from perfection. But in theory, it could also resist Yu Chiyan's Five Elements Fire.

Theory is always just theory.

Yang Xiaoxiao pushed his Gang Body to the limit, and a transparent, barrier-like film lit up around his body. It indeed blocked the Five Elements Fire on the outside.

Just as Yang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, he miserably discovered that his Gang Body had been broken.

His Gang Body was covered in seeds similar to dandelions. Those seeds had taken root on his Gang Body, piercing it until it was tattered.

Yu Chiyan's Five Elements Fire rapidly ignited Yang Xiaoxiao.

Yang Xiaoxiao quickly re-gathered his Gang Body and then rapidly escaped. He stopped at a distance of one zhang away.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoxiao was charred all over, and his hair was smoking. His nostrils and mouth were full of black smoke, and he had no clothes left, with only his shorts barely covering his sensitive parts.

Mu Yi and Mu Mian were young women; seeing Yang Xiaoxiao in this state, they were too embarrassed to look and turned away to giggle.

Having suffered repeated setbacks, Yang Xiaoxiao was furious. He rapidly transformed into a whirlwind, spinning faster and faster. Finally, the whirlwind formed a blade-wind, which flew toward Yu Chiyan and Yan Chixia's group like a shearing blade, wanting to mince these people into pieces.

Seeing that Yang Xiaoxiao was not holding the upper hand, Yang Mei feared he would suffer a loss, and also feared that if the time dragged on, the treasures inside would be snatched by Li Huan'er. She immediately commanded the Yang Family Army to wield their blades.

A powerful Blade Intent surged toward the crowd behind Yang Xiaoxiao's hurricane.

That powerful Blade Intent was already approaching the Demon Venerable Power, locking onto everyone.

Yu Chiyan shouted to Yan Chixia and the dozen or so Demon Cultivators following behind: "You all go behind us and hide."

Those dozen Demon Cultivators each activated their Demon Bodies, broke free from the lock, and hid behind Yu Chiyan and Mu Yi.

Mu Yi also shouted to Mu Li and Mu Mian, "You all step back one step."

Then she struck a palm toward Yu Chiyan. Yu Chiyan received Mu Yi's palm, and the two palms pressed against each other. The powerful Five Elements Fire and Five Elements Wood merged. The Five Elements are the basic substances that make up this world; when these two types of Demon Power met, they quickly merged under the mobilization of their wills. A faint Chaos Power formed between their palms.

Unfortunately, three elements of the Five Elements were missing, so it could only form this weak Chaos Power.

The two sighed, "Hopefully, we can block one wave of attacks."

That Chaos Power was so little that it was only a thin layer. This layer quickly formed a Chaos Shield in front of everyone. This shield was too thin and could only be considered a Barrier.

Just as the Barrier formed, Yang Xiaoxiao's Wind Cone arrived. The sharp Wind Cone made contact with the Chaos Barrier, sparking countless fire stars, and finally managed to hold off Yang Xiaoxiao's Wind Cone.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, but the massive Blade Intent had already reached them. Under the blade strike, the Chaos Shield shook violently. This weak Chaos Power was ultimately unable to resist the powerful Blade Intent. It shattered.

The Blade Intent was worn down by more than half, but it was still powerful, falling directly onto the heads of the two.

The two quickly unleashed their Demon Bodies and retreated, but they were still swept by the powerful Blade Intent. Both spat out a large mouthful of blood. Their steps staggered, and they were already seriously injured.

Seeing that one blade strike had not yet been effective, Yang Mei continued to wield the blade.

More than eight thousand people moved in perfect unison. Everyone's Silver Armor was engraved with a Rune. As they activated their Demon Art, the runes flashed, and the Demon Power gathered on Yang Mei through the runes. Array Patterns flashed on Yang Mei's body, and the Blade Intent of thousands of people condensed on her long blade. Yang Mei raised the blade and slashed toward the already injured Yu Chiyan and Mu Yi.

Yu Chiyan and Mu Yi struggled to press their palms together again, but this time they could not condense much Chaos Power.

The dozen or so people behind them quickly retreated, wanting to dodge this fatal blow.

Yan Chixia watched quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. He did not run away, nor did he resist, as if he had been scared silly.

Yang Mei raised her hand and the blade fell. This blade strike directly shattered the weak Chaos Qi that Yu Chiyan and Mu Yi had condensed.

Yu Chiyan quickly stood in front of Mu Yi. He was a man, and protecting the weak was a man's duty, not to mention that this person was an elite within his own sect.

Just as Yu Chiyan was about to be killed by the blade, Yan Chixia moved.
