From the moment they joined the Sect, these priests had devoted their entire being to its service.
Even in death, they believed that the Demon Lord would hear their wishes and help them realize them.
They were people without any hope for survival, believing only in the Demon Lord’s ability to change the world, which kept them striving to this day.
Even though they knew their lives could be taken at any moment, they never stopped.
The Ghost Shadow Formation that Bai Jin had deployed had now vanished with the descent of the Black Thunder Surge, and nothing could prevent the Curse Sect’s priests.
However, Yang Yu took the initiative. Activating Sudden Killing Intent, his speed swiftly increased, and he reached Kenro before the priests had a chance to react.
An orange light flickered along Yang Yu’s sword blade.
Kenro had already used all Spiritual Bodies to support Tu Jing, and without the Spirit Body Ranch, Kenro was like a toothless tiger.
Kenro and Tu Jing, one could manipulate the bodies of the dead into the Living Dead, the other could directly control the souls of the dead.
Upon a priest’s Death, they would first become a Living Dead and, once defeated, they would turn into Spiritual Bodies for Kenro’s command.
Yang Yu remembered that Kenro had a Skill that could materialize Spiritual Bodies.
Yang Yu had no interest in fighting the same people three times, especially since defeating the Living Dead and Spiritual Bodies yielded pitifully little Experience.
Demons, as a creature, were almost unrecorded in the All Things Library. Aside from various legends, it was difficult to gather information on them, so naturally, the Skill books could not contain Demonic Skills.
But Yang Yu was not surprised that Tu Jing, transformed into a Demon form, could create the Living Dead.
The Skill Atlas of the All Things Library was only a baseline resource for the early to middle phases. Whilst it was uncertain what Skills the Demon Clan might use, since the Hero severed the grudge between this world and the Demon World four or five hundred years ago, it was impossible for the Demon Clan’s Magic to have stagnated.
There must be some Skills that have never been seen before.
It was the same with demonic abilities; to this day, no one knows where the mysterious race of demons are hidden.
Those emerging from the Gate of Demon World were generally termed as the Demon Clan, but the Demon Clan didn’t seem to include the Demon Race...
So where exactly are the Demon Race?
Yang Yu felt that the sphere in Bai Jin’s hands was the essential tool to solve this mystery, and perhaps following the completion of the "Destroy" Task, subsequent tasks might appear.
The Double-sided Slash struck Kenro, instantly severing one of his arms.
Realizing his arm had been flung away, Kenro suddenly had the urge to cry out loud, but he held back as much as he could, trying to redirect his unharmed Spiritual Bodies to defend himself.
But Yang Yu wasn’t going to foolishly wait for Kenro’s Spiritual Bodies to defend; his actions didn’t pause for a moment, delivering several consecutive strikes onto Kenro.
Kenro was already close to a blood-red state, just like Tu Jing. Yang Yu was confident that a few more attacks would bring him down.
Just at this moment, several priests joined together to cast a Shield on Kenro and used Deceleration Magic to restrain Yang Yu’s movements.
The priests split into two groups, one targeting Yang Yu, while the other launched an assault on Bai Jin and Iyas, with that group including many Living Dead with self-awareness.
The sword struck the thick shield, and Yang Yu did not inflict any more damage on Kenro.
Yang Yu turned his head, returning to deal with the weakened priests; first, he let out a roar, using "Demoralizing Roar" to reduce the nearby priests’ attack power, then he executed a "Horizontal Slash," dancing through the crowd.
The group of priests that had attacked Bai Jin and the others were first slowed by Bai Jin’s "Ice Cone Skill" and then pierced through by Iyas’s bows and arrows.
Apart from the Living Dead Priest, basically all the living priests were dealt with one by one by Bai Jin, Iyas, and He Meng.
And just as the Living Dead Priest finally drew near, a strong Holy Light radiated out from Iyas at its center. Her body spread it instantly, repelling all approaching Living Dead.
Tu Jing, whose spirit was being eroded by the Holy Light, took this chance to gradually regain his senses. His whole body felt tingling, and every part of him throbbed with pain.
Such a being with powerful Holy Light strength, as long as they survived, would pose a threat to the existence of the Demon Lord.
Moreover, she was an age-old elf; given enough time, she would certainly master even greater Holy Light powers in the future.
Not only this elf but all other people and elves with Holy Light, or any other race, must be completely purged to remove all obstacles.
"Kenro, don’t hold back, bring out all the spiritual bodies bestowed upon you by Gao Fang! Let’s crush them together! These people who cannot comprehend the Demon Lord’s greatness don’t deserve to live in this world!"
Tu Jing commanded, but noticed Kenro slightly furrowing his brows.
Only now did Tu Jing realize Kenro had used precious spiritual bodies to shield him from an attack, his spiritual bodies had become fragmented under Bai Jin’s magic.
It was with difficulty that the surviving spiritual bodies gathered at his feet, but Kenro’s Spirit Body Ranch under his feet was only as big as a washbasin, greatly reducing his combat effectiveness.
Tu Jing, transformed into a demon, let out a howl. The pain didn’t make him lose his sanity; instead, his thoughts became incredibly clear as he thrust towards Iyas with his huge black claws.
But at that moment, Yang Yu once again used "Support Charge." With a flash, he positioned his shield in front of Bai Jin and the others, and Tu Jing’s sharpened claws collided with Yang Yu’s shield. Yang Yu, with a "Shield Block," completely negated the attack.
Tu Jing spat out another massive soundwave attack, but this time Yang Yu used a combination skill, "Interception" and "Reflective Coating," to send Tu Jing’s soundwave back at him. Tu Jing raised his arm to block Yang Yu’s counterattack.
Watching Tu Jing and Yang Yu fight, Kenro could not join the fray. To block that fatal strike from Bai Jin, he had lost many spiritual bodies.
Yang Yu’s recent assault was still fresh in Kenro’s mind. He reached out to touch his severed arm, blood still spurting out.
"Priest Kenro! We are already dead, our spiritual bodies belong to the Sect always; please command us as you will, even complete annihilation is of no concern,"
A Living Dead Priest ran to Kenro’s side, pointing toward the priests lying on the ground.
There was not a single living priest here; all had become Living Dead.
And the fallen priests, once fought as Living Dead, now wished to battle once more for the Sect.
Kenro nodded heavily, raising his hand. From the charred remains of the priests, several ghost shadows sprang forth, converging into the black ranch beneath Kenro.
Kenro lifted his hand, and the spiritual body of the priest who had just died violently gathered into his hand again, forming a massive black sphere.
Kenro pushed the black sphere forward, and the souls within it once again transformed into a physical form.
