Not only that, within such a short time, the human mage's blood volume had already recovered.
And Liu Muxue once again cast an [Aurora Holy Shield] on Cao Xing.
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief; with this, the demon could not instantly kill him now.
At this moment, whispers appeared in everyone's ears again!
The demon seemed to want to use the same trick, trying to control everyone.
Realizing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Cover your ears!"
"Muxue, cast a Purification Skill on Renice!"
They were prepared in advance.
So this time, only Blom was controlled.
But the Soul-Devouring Demon's blood volume had already been reduced to less than twenty thousand by them.
Victory was in sight!
Meanwhile, Sarah directly detonated [Shadow Blossom]!
The highest damage ever recorded appeared!
This attack critically injured the Soul-Devouring Demon, blasting its blood volume down to less than ten thousand.
Seeing this, Cao Xing laughed heartily.
"Attack! Quickly attack it! Finish it off!"
In the heart of the Soul-Devouring Demon, there suddenly appeared the greatest sense of crisis it had ever felt!
It knew that with its remaining Life Value, it might really be taken down by this group.
The Soul-Devouring Demon seemed to be making a tough decision.
"Damn it! I didn't want to use this method, but now it seems there's no choice!"
As it finished speaking, it quickly abandoned everyone and turned towards the center of the chapel, charging forward.
"Huh? What's this guy trying to do?"
Cao Xing watched as the demon suddenly appeared next to Duke Baladin's coffin, extending a pitch-black claw, seemingly trying to forcibly open it.
"Huh? Didn't they say it couldn't break the seal on the coffin?"
Cao Xing was suddenly full of doubts.
However, although he didn't know what the demon was attempting, Cao Xing wouldn't give it the chance to turn the tables.
"Everyone, attack with all your might!"
Everyone quickly rushed toward the position of Duke Baladin's coffin.
Just then, the demon resentfully glanced at Cao Xing.
From its body, a surge of Demon Power emerged, forcibly striking the seal on the coffin.
However, the coffin was also continuously emitting various powers, causing damage to the Soul-Devouring Demon.
As it attacked the coffin, the Soul-Devouring Demon venomously said,
"I didn't want to use such means to open the coffin; this will seriously damage my power."
"If you'd cooperate peacefully and open the coffin, I could consume this guy's soul in my most complete form."
"Then, I could not only advance to the Fourth Rank but possibly even break into the Commander realm."
"But now, with my main body about to be destroyed by you, I'll have to pay some price to swallow this guy's soul first and break through to the Fourth Rank."
"By then, I'll tear all your souls into pieces and swallow them whole! Mwahaha!"
Cao Xing then understood something.
This demon could forcibly open the coffin, but at a price, preventing it from advancing from Leader to Commander.
Nonetheless, Duke Baladin's Undead could still allow it to break through to the Fourth Rank!
Once the coffin was opened, an utter catastrophe awaited Cao Xing and his companions!
"Hurry! Quickly interrupt it!"
Dense cracks had already appeared on the coffin.
Meanwhile, Sarah had already appeared next to the Soul-Devouring Demon, slashing fiercely with a blade!
The Soul-Devouring Demon had just over seven thousand blood volume left.
The others' attacks were like a ferocious storm striking it.
A dense series of damage appeared, reducing the Soul-Devouring Demon's blood volume below five thousand in an instant.
By this time, the coffin was already covered with cracks.
With a crackling sound,
the stone slab with gold thread fractures shattered.
The Soul-Devouring Demon's black claw instantly reached into the coffin.
The next moment, an Undead clad in armor was grabbed out by the demon's two big hands.
And before that Undead could react, it was bitten down upon.
With just one bite, the Soul-Devouring Demon's blood volume instantly recovered by more than twenty thousand!
At this time, the expression of the Undead showed pain!
Cao Xing became anxious.
Now, the blood volume they worked hard to reduce was about to be swallowed back by the demon in a few bites.
Not only that, it could also break through to the Fourth Rank and have a significant surge in power!
By then, Cao Xing and his team would be in big trouble!
But just then, the Ascalon Undead did not hesitate; he spoke in a chilling voice, "Evil creature, I have awaited this day for a long time!"
He seemed to have been waiting for this moment.
With just half of a Broken Sword, he suddenly summoned it from within the coffin.
Then, gripping it in his hand, he fiercely stabbed it into the demon's body!
The Soul-Devouring Demon's eyes showed terror at the sight of the Broken Sword piercing its body!
"This is... the Ancient Treasure Sword - Magdala!"
The demon let out a miserable scream.
A massive damage number appeared.
However, the damage was not the main thing; it was that the evolution of the Soul-Devouring Demon got interrupted by this sword. It was even pinned in place by it.
And this Undead, after delivering that stab, used up all his strength.
This Ascalon Undead said with difficulty.
Seeing this, a new hope lit up for Cao Xing.
