Chapter 92: Self-Detonation

"Pfft!"

This demon revealed an expression of incomparable terror, and immediately smashed his right hand down hard against his chest.

A mouthful of vital blood gushed out like an arrow; after the vital blood was sprayed out, it directly transformed into a blood-colored protective barrier that appeared before him, wrapping him within it.

It looked incomparably thick and solid, enough to withstand the attacks of a great cultivator at the late stage of Golden Core, yet after coming into contact with this rain of swords, it was torn into shreds as easily as if it were made of paper; the speed of the sword rain did not diminish in the slightest, and it instantly enveloped this demon within it.

"Young Master, save me."

Helpless, the demon's face was filled with an expression of despair, but his struggles were of no use at all; over a hundred sword beams flickered in succession, and one could only see a rain of blood drifting down, turning into mangled corpses scattered all around.

The whole process sounds incomparably complex, but in reality, it was all over in an instant.

While Su Zhangqing was unleashing the Azure Edge Sword, he himself was not idle; with a flash of his figure, he shot toward another demon race member.

That was a fellow with a peculiar appearance, looking like a bamboo pole and resembling a zombie.

Of course, what he looked like was not Su Zhangqing's concern, because in Su Zhangqing's eyes, he was already a dead man; after a flash, Su Zhangqing's flowing light appeared before this demon.

It is unknown if this demon practiced a special cultivation technique, but his face was devoid of expression; he merely waved his hands like phantoms, and countless pitch-black demonic beams struck toward Su Zhangqing.

In an instant, these claw beams were dense and thick, forming a pitch-black net in a moment, wrapping Su Zhangqing up all at once.

"Hmph, overestimating your own strength!"

Su Zhangqing gave a light snort, and then the sound of bones cracking reached his ears; Su Zhangqing's fist flashed with black radiance, and around his body, strange demonic mist likewise surged.

Facing the claw beams, he did not dodge or evade, even withdrawing the Six Harmonies Mirror, and simply smashed toward the opponent with his bare fists.

"Is this brat crazy?"

The demon race member's face revealed an expression of disbelief; one must know that the demon race's bodies are naturally stronger than the human race's—how could the toughness of a human cultivator compare to the demon race?

Is this brat courting death?

For a moment, this demon felt suspicious and uncertain in his heart, and the demonic beams in his hands grew increasingly intense, slashing fiercely toward Su Zhangqing.

"Boom!"

A loud, resounding crash came over, and then the flowing light and black mist merged into one; very quickly, that black energy dissipated rapidly as if it had encountered a natural predator.

This black beam was unable to withstand a single blow before Su Zhangqing, and that protective light screen had no effect at all; Su Zhangqing's fist smashed directly onto the demon race member's body.

Pfft...

The next instant, blood sprayed wildly, and this demon was blasted away into the distance like a bird with broken wings.

Su Zhangqing did not even look; this punch not only shattered the demon's physical body, but even scattered his spirit soul.

In the span of a mere breath, Su Zhangqing had consecutively wiped out two Golden Core stage demons.

In an instant, Shi Yu's face turned incomparably pale, and the expressions of the remaining few demon cultivators were also ugly to the extreme.

"Go!"

After doing this, Su Zhangqing pointed a finger, and the Azure Edge Sword flashed with light, transforming into two water-blue flood dragons that slashed toward the two demons ahead.

"I am the Thunder Emperor, I shall command the Thunder Technique of the world!"

Then Su Zhangqing's hands waved rapidly, and the Thunder Emperor Supreme Precious Art was unleashed in this instant; in the void, one could see bolts of thunder flashing.

"Swift!"

Su Zhangqing's expression tightened slightly, and these thunderbolts condensed into thunder dragons in the void.

"Go!" Each thunder dragon was over ten zhang long, accompanied by a cold shout. After these thunderbolts, transformed into thunder dragons, flashed, they pounced and bit toward the other three Golden Core stage demons.

Seeing such a scene, the three demons were shocked and terrified, hurriedly displaying their respective divine abilities; some unleashed Dharma Treasures, others used demon-transformation abilities.

However, Su Zhangqing seemed not to see it; with the improvement of his realm, the power of this Thunder Technique had increased by more than just a little.

Even a late-stage Golden Core old monster would not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, let alone three mere mid-stage Golden Core demons.

"Ah..."

A series of miserable screams reached his ears; the Dharma Treasures unleashed by the three demons were quickly swallowed up by the thunder. For a time, the three demons were incomparably terrified and used secret techniques one after another, yet it had no effect at all; soon, their entire bodies were swept up by the terrifying thunder, and the fate of the other two companions was much the same.

The next moment, he appeared over twenty zhang away, and after a flash, he was only a few zhang away from Shi Yu.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Shi Yu could be said to be shocked and angry to the extreme; at this point, it was already too late to dodge.

Seeing Su Zhangqing wipe out several Golden Core stage demons with mere gestures, he knew it was impossible for him to retreat unscathed.

"Since you won't let me live, then let's die together!"

Then a look of incomparable resentment flashed in his eyes; his body swelled up violently, accompanied by a wild surge of demonic energy.

"Self-detonation?"

Seeing this, Su Zhangqing could not help but be slightly stunned; he did not expect this brat Shi Yu to be so ruthless. After all, he was a Golden Core demon, and Su Zhangqing did not dare to underestimate the power of a self-detonation; it was not that Su Zhangqing was afraid, but it would clearly be very unwise to take it head-on.

Su Zhangqing raised his right hand, and the Six Harmonies Mirror flew out once again; then Su Zhangqing performed the Fanu Escape Technique, and after a flash of flowing light, he retreated over a hundred zhang away.

Boom! Accompanied by a loud noise reaching his ears, the entire sky was illuminated in a brilliant red; the violent demonic wind was incomparably shocking, and giant waves hundreds of zhang high on the sea surface followed one after another.

After a moment, at the spot where Shi Yu had just been standing, a strange light flashed, and a mushroom-shaped cloud appeared; one could see black flowing light permeating the surroundings, and soon the entire sky was obscured.

Rumble! In the void, a loud sound like ten thousand horses galloping came continuously; such momentum caused even Kuangshi and Ruyue Xianzi, who were fighting in the distance, to stop their divine abilities.

After all, both sides of the battle had a significant relationship with them; Kuangshi Laoguai's face was full of resentment—his own son had actually been forced to self-detonate.

Ruyue Xianzi could not help but reveal a look of anxiety on her face.

After all, the opponent was a Golden Core demon, and the power of a self-detonation was extremely dangerous even for her if she were to be caught in it.

However, at this very moment, neither of them could help, and they could only wait anxiously on the sidelines for the result.

Although the momentum of the explosion was incomparably shocking, it dissipated in an instant, and a figure entered their sight.

"Damn brat! Give me your life!"

Kuangshi Laoguai's eyes were full of blood-red color; he hated Su Zhangqing to the extreme.

The hatred of killing his son is irreconcilable!

"Fellow Daoist Su!"

At the critical moment, Su Changqing did not even think, sacrificing the Six Harmonies Mirror and shielding it in front of him.

As the saying goes, a dog will leap over a wall when desperate; Su Changqing also did not expect that Shi Yu would actually self-destruct in a desperate situation, and it was already too late to use the Fanu Escape Technique to dodge.

However, Su Changqing had extremely rich experience in magical combat, so naturally he was not truly afraid of anything, and thus with a movement of his divine sense, he sacrificed the Six Harmonies Mirror.

Relying on the miraculousness of the Heaven-Covering Scripture and the powerful defensive strength of the Six Harmonies Mirror, he blocked the opponent's self-destruction.
