Chapter 208: Sword Sheath
Yuan Qi and Li Huan'er entangled Yintian, but their attacks posed no threat to a Demon Cultivator at the Supreme Mid-Stage; they could only hold Yintian back, waiting for Nieba and Yan Chixia to resolve the situation with the other two Supremes before turning the tide.
Yuan Qi displayed great power, using Step by Step Lotus as his momentum climbed steadily; whenever Yintian gathered Demon Power to unleash a Supernatural Ability, a strange Demon Power would emerge from Yuan Qi to disintegrate Yintian's power. Furthermore, his movement technique was eerie, with a faint power of annihilation manifesting beneath his feet, causing his figure to flicker in and out of the void.
After being repelled by a palm strike, Yuan Qi vomited blood and was caught by Shi Xiaoxiao, who fed him a Life-Saving Pill. Yuan Qi stood up and let out a long roar toward the sky.
This sound reached the heavens, blowing away a corner of the dark clouds in the sky, allowing a ray of sunlight to project through that corner and shine upon the Black Demon Sea.
Yuan Qi formed seals with his hands, a faint trace of Chaos Qi appearing in his eyes, and a demon head manifested above his head; Yuan Qi pointed at the sky and shouted: "Abandon Demon!"
A black vortex appeared around Yuan Qi, and any Supernatural Ability, weapon, or anything else that fell into this vortex was reduced to nothingness.
This was Yuan Qi's innate Supernatural Ability: Abandon Demon Great Art.
Yuan Qi possessed three great innate Supernatural Abilities: Regretless Spear, Abandon Demon Great Art, and Step by Step Lotus.
Among them, Step by Step Lotus was a movement technique that could shrink the earth into an inch, which was extremely formidable.
Under the two's suicidal tactics, Yintian was thrown into disarray; Yuan Qi and Li Huan'er were like unkillable cockroaches—every time they were beaten back, they would entangle him again in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Yintian unleashed his Supreme Field; within a ten-zhang radius around him, the attacks of Li Huan'er and Yuan Qi became sluggish, while his own attacks became swifter—this was his field, and he held absolute control.
Eerily, after a dozen rounds, Yuan Qi's Abandon Demon Great Art had actually worn away more than half of Yintian's Supreme Field.
Seeing that Li Huan'er and Yuan Qi were being battered but were in no immediate danger of losing their lives, Meng Su turned his gaze toward Yanzhi.
Yanzhi was the first relative Meng Su had seen upon arriving in this world; although she had hidden her identity as the Princess of Xuanwu Island, it was to protect Meng Su in secret, so Yanzhi held a pivotal position in Meng Su's heart.
There were still two Supremes on the scene without opponents, and they set their sights on Jin Wuyin.
The two surrounded Jin Wuyin, while in the distance, the Undead Army and the Ye Family Army were slaughtering the Asura Army; it would not be long before the million-strong Asura Army was wiped out, and once the million-strong Undead Army joined the Supreme battle, even Supremes might not be able to withstand the impact of the immortal and indestructible Undead Army.
Therefore, Ye Hong and Yang Ping were anxious, as the key to all this lay with Jin Wuyin; in the absence of other Supremes, Jin Wuyin was the number one expert in the Demon Realm, and with the help of the Demon World Sword and the Black Turtle Defense, she could slay Supremes, making her the person the Asura Realm feared most.
However, they had miscalculated; they had not expected the emergence of the Demon Lord Treasure, which added an extra top-tier Supreme and a million-strong Undead Army, and even incidentally awakened the Talisman King among the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Capital, turning the Asura Realm's certain victory into an unpredictable situation.
The key to victory lay with Jin Wuyin; if they killed Jin Wuyin, they would have two more Supremes available to join the battle against Nieba and the Talisman Palace, and with two against one, their chances of winning would be great.
If they won, they would still have a chance to deal with the million-strong Undead Army by pooling the power of five Supremes.
The two surrounded Jin Wuyin and launched a frenzied attack.
Soon, the Black Turtle Defense and the Five Elements Gold Armor on Jin Wuyin were shattered, and Jin Wuyin spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Black Turtle Defense was connected to Li Xuan, who also spat out a mouthful of blood, creating a vulnerability in the protection of Yanzhi.
The powerful pressure from the two Supremes caused Yanzhi's bones to rattle, and Yanzhi also spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Yanzhi injured in the distance, Meng Su was burning with anxiety, but he could not intervene in a battle of this level.
Sensing the crisis, Jin Wuyin let out a long roar, her half-hidden body appearing in the void, and then she gripped her sword with her right hand, unleashing a storm-like barrage of attacks.
The two Supremes were forced back step by step by Jin Wuyin, and after this round of attacks, the two Supremes launched a counterattack.
The Supreme Power tore the surrounding space to shreds, and the clouds above Xuanwu Island grew even thicker.
This round of attacks flowed through the Bronze Sword in Jin Wuyin's hand, using her body as a medium, and into the Sword Sheath in her left hand.
This Sword Sheath was the Demon Body of Li Bai, so the powerful attack force of the two Supremes flowed entirely into Li Bai's Demon Body.
Jin Wuyin possessed a Five Elements Gold Body, and her physical body was unparalleled in toughness, but facing two Supremes, the Supreme Power still severely wounded her, and cracks appeared on her body.
After several rounds of confrontation, the Supreme Power collected in the Sword Sheath in Jin Wuyin's left hand grew, and the sheath emitted an intense light, like a sun, illuminating the entire Black Demon Sea.
Meng Su and Li Wuguo could not help but squint their eyes under the glare of this strong light.
Suddenly, Jin Wuyin withdrew her sword and stood as straight as a javelin, while the attacks of the two Supremes were blocked by the Black Turtle Defense in front of her.
Jin Wuyin inserted the Bronze Sword into the Sword Sheath, and the intense light in the sheath vanished; the sky grew dark again.
Jin Wuyin slowly drew the Bronze Sword from the Sword Sheath, as if drawing a scorching sun from the sheath.
The Supreme Power collected in the Sword Sheath had all been transferred to the Bronze Sword, and this powerful Supreme Power already exceeded the combined Supreme Power of Ye Hong and Yang Ping.
The two felt the crisis and began to retreat.
Ye Hong retreated the fastest because he had been injured by Jin Wuyin before, and his chest still ached faintly, so he was more wary of her.
Ye Hong transformed into a bolt of lightning and retreated a hundred zhang away.
Yang Ping retreated slightly slower and was locked onto by Jin Wuyin, who used her sword like a blade and slashed at Yang Ping's head.
Yang Ping was shocked and unleashed his Supreme Power to the fullest, his entire body flashing with lightning until he became a ball of lightning.
The lightning ball blocked in front of Yang Ping but was split in two by Jin Wuyin.
The sharp Sword Intent left a bloody line across Yang Ping's brow, and his face was covered in blood; this strike terrified him to the core.
Hiding in the distance, Ye Hong realized he could not kill Jin Wuyin in a short time, while the Asura Army he had brought had already been one-third slaughtered, and he grew restless and anxious.
Suddenly, Ye Hong's gaze swept over and saw Yanzhi playing the zither, and a plan formed in his mind.
"I'm sorry, Shi Niannian; I could have spared your life, but now it is either you die or we perish, so I can only kill you first."
Ye Hong transformed into a bolt of lightning and lunged toward Yanzhi; Li Xuan sensed the danger and hurriedly used the Shift Method to teleport himself and Yanzhi a thousand zhang away.
This distance was now about a hundred zhang in front of Meng Su, who could already see Yanzhi's gentle face and her soft, beautiful smile.
A warmth filled Meng Su's heart; after a long journey and countless hardships, he had finally seen the person he wanted to see, and his heart was filled with happiness.
Jin Wuyin discovered Ye Hong's intent and cursed, "Shameless!" She fought her way toward Ye Hong, trying to block him.
Yang Ping also saw through Ye Hong's plan—to attack the enemy where they must save—and fought hard to block Jin Wuyin so that Ye Hong could go to kidnap or kill Yanzhi.
