Before him was a mountaintop nearly flattened, all of the Mad Taoist, Foolish Taoist, those Corpse Soldiers and Corpse Generals, and the few Summoned Creatures left, were blasted clean away.
Even the ground had turned blackened, the entire mountaintop an apocalyptic landscape, it wasn’t hard to imagine the power of that strike just now.
If stayed in place, fear not having been annihilated already.
The only one still alive was the floating Demon·Wang Xie.
He didn’t look too well either, the dark demonic qi around him had dissipated quite a bit, yet carrying the power of that strike, it still imposed immense pressure on everyone.
Xiao Jie looked at the Demon King Evil in front of him, thinking to himself, isn’t it just about drawing attention, this I can do.
"Wang Xie, your Spell doesn’t seem very useful either, now your show is over, surrender and we might spare your life."
"You should be the ones begging for mercy, but—I won’t spare you, you think escaping that strike means you’re safe, hmpf, truly laughable.
My mana reaches the heavens, to do it another ten or hundred times is effortless, let me see how many more times you can evade it."
After saying that, lightning surged once again in his hand, and demonic qi welled up on his body, obviously intending to amplify again.
Xiao Jie’s heart tightened once more, his gaze fell behind the Demon·Wang Xie, where a silent figure appeared.
Ye Luo, clad in black, emitted an eerie green glow, like a vengeful spirit from the Netherworld, her face as pale as paper, yet a trace of crimson murderous aura emerged on the Xuanming Sword.
Xiao Jie tapped her avatar, and a row of BUFFs gave him a start.
Unpredictable Life-taking: You have entered the Unpredictable Life-taking mode, in this state, you can lock onto the main body of the target directly, ignoring Illusion Technique, Invisibility, Stealth, and any disguise effects. If the target is too far away, the target will be marked on the big map.
Yellow Springs Drink Life: The lower your Life Value, the higher the damage. For every 1% Life Value lost, damage increases by 1%, up to 99%.
Blood Sacrifice Talisman: Reduces maximum Life Value by 30%, increases weapon damage by 30%.
Nine Netherworld Clarity Technique: Your Attack triggers a Netherworld Strike against enemies with less than 20% Blood Volume. This effect can only be triggered once a day.
Netherworld Blade: Your Attack can harm ghosts, and causes Yin attribute damage to life units attacked.
Tiger Soul Pill: Critical hit rate increased by 30%.
Tongxuan Sword Intent: When you perform a secret technique, there is a 10% probability of entering the Tongxuan state, releasing the ultimate form of the secret technique—Super Secret Technique. The lower your Life Value, the higher the probability of triggering the Tongxuan state...
And at this moment, Ye Luo’s Blood Volume was only 1%.
Xiao Jie suddenly understood; Ye Luo’s skill system was clearly built around self-damage to increase damage, capable of dealing extremely exaggerated damage in critical states.
Of course, doing so was also extremely dangerous for herself, with only 1% Life Value, a slight touch could be fatal.
However, it was an excellent plan to kill a near-death Boss.
The Demon·Wang Xie, however, was unaware that his life was at a critical juncture, overlooking everyone, he said coldly, "You all—are—all going—to—die!"
"The one to die is you." Ye Luo’s voice came coldly from behind him.
All the Demon·Wang Xie instinctively turned their heads.
The next moment, Ye Luo struck.
Super Secret Technique—Yellow Springs Crossing·One Sword Returns to the Netherworld.
In an instant, the world became black and white, Ye Luo’s figure was but a dark silhouette in the distance, only the crimson blood light on the treasure sword stood out in the black and white world.
Beneath her feet, images from the Netherworld scene Xiao Jie once saw appeared repeatedly: Yellow Springs Water, Netherworld River Vengeful Spirits, Other Shore Flower blooms... At that moment, the human world and Netherworld seemed to overlap.
This vision lasted less than a second.
As Ye Luo slashed out, where the sword radiance reached, it seemed anotherworldly forces tore the space apart, space twisted, light dimmed, and the colors of all things seemed to fade away, leaving only the boundary of life and death violently clashing upon the blade.
(So this is the feeling of death?) A thread of fear flashed through Wang Xie’s heart as he was locked on.
He didn’t dodge, for he felt that no matter where he evaded, it was meaningless. It was a summoning from the Yellow Springs, the inevitable fate of all things’ destruction, the end point of all things.
Now it presented itself ahead of time.
He awakened his consciousness, accomplished various great feats, all to defy destiny, to transcend the life and death fate marked by his original self.
How could he fall here—Heavenly Demon Body Protection Technique!
Wang Xie’s body was enveloped in swirling black qi, he transformed all his demonic qi into a gigantic black cocoon encasing himself tightly.
As he completed this, the sword radiance sliced through the black cocoon with one sword strike.
A red number flashed dramatically.
-2769 (2000 absorbed)!
When the sword radiance and black qi dissipated together, left at the original place was the reverted form of a severely injured Wang Xie.
At that moment, the black qi on Wang Xie dispersed entirely, his whole body fell to the ground, his azure Daoist robe was tattered, hair disheveled, no longer had the prestige and might from before.
His Blood Volume had dropped to below 200.
Before the crowd could rush forward to finish him, Wang Xie suddenly shouted.
"Stop! Don’t kill me, I can give you anything you want! You meticulously schemed and ambushed me here, isn’t it just for that thing? If you kill me, you’ll have no chance to get it."
These words made Xiao Jie, who was about to deliver the killing blow, freeze.
"Stop," Xiao Jie and Chen Tianwen shouted in unison.
