The Reversed Demon stood still like a statue, looking down with a cold smirk at Fang Yu’s feeble punch.
The next instant, behind the Reversed Demon, a wave of Qi burst forth.
The ground crazily cracked with thundering sounds, emanating in a semicircle from the Reversed Demon as the epicenter, as invisible forces shattered everything, scattering broken wooden tables and chairs all around.
In Fang Yu’s moment of shock, the [Reversed Demon] grasped his neck, lifting him high with his feet dangling off the ground.
Fang Yu struggled fiercely, but was wrapped around several times by the [Reversed Demon]’s tail, binding him like a python constricting its prey, applying pressure layer by layer until the Bone Armor shattered. Bone Powder scattered, leaving him completely immobilized.
Powerful as the Bone Armor was, it couldn’t match Hei Ao’s black scales in terms of strength. Against such monstrous might, it was as if it would shatter upon contact.
Just having caught Lü Zuo who flew over like a kite with its string cut, Hei Ao’s expression darkened at the sight.
Lü Zuo also yelled, snapping his finger back into place.
Though still in pain, he was ready to continue the fight.
"First of all, my name isn’t Hey!"
"Secondly, come save me!!!"
As Fang Yu roared, he was still desperately gathering Bone Powder, but before it could take shape, it was endlessly crushed to pieces by the Reversed Demon.
At this moment, he fully grasped Hei Ao’s feelings.
In a one-on-one scenario, the pressure was indeed overwhelming.
He had no idea how Hei Ao managed to hold out for so long.
Fang Yu continued to fight for his life, while at that moment, the Reversed Demon glanced skeptically at Lü Zuo and the others rapidly approaching...
A hoof pierced straight through Fang Yu’s chest!
As the hoof retracted from his chest, a bloody hollow gaped where it had passed through.
With the Reversed Demon’s hoof loosened, Fang Yu’s lifeless body, eyes wide open, fell to the ground.
Fang Yu lay on the ground, facing Lü Zuo and the others as they rushed forward, weakly trying to speak while blood poured from his mouth. His motions slowly ceased, his eyes becoming vacant.
The Reversed Demon sneered coldly at Fang Yu’s corpse.
Come on, reveal your true demonic form, let’s have a good time playing.
It was indeed rare craftsmanship to maintain a human skin even with a twisted neck.
Even he had only heard of such special demons possessing this craft, never having truly seen one.
But against a direct deadly wound such as a pierced heart, even the finest human skin couldn’t defend.
When the human skin dies, the demon reveals itself!
The Reversed Demon waited.
To its surprise, the corpse on the ground truly seemed to be just a corpse, motionless and thoroughly dead.
No Blood Mist, no demonic true form, merely... a human corpse.
The Reversed Demon was stunned.
Once the human skin dies, the demon cannot hide its true form.
Now that no demon has appeared, it means it was just a human.
The Reversed Demon suddenly came to its senses.
The guy before had called them demons, and with Diao Deyi’s skill of twisting his neck back to life, he thought Diao Deyi present at the scene was also a demon.
Now it seems that only the guy who fled was the real demon, or maybe there were no demons at all, just humans desperate to survive, coming up with excuses, nothing more than cunning human rhetoric!
The Reversed Demon’s mind cleared.
But this scene, as seen by the other two, wasn’t that complicated.
This was the common understanding between Lü Zuo and Hei Ao.
Hei Ao’s eyes widened in rage, and his partial human skin, which had been exposed due to the damage, was immediately covered by shadows.
Black scales emerged, and faintly short horns began to grow on his forehead.
At a glance, they looked like deer antlers, yet also like bull horns.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
His whole body was wrapped in black thread-like lightning, looking explosive and exaggerated.
Lü Zuo’s fingertips flashed with green light, suddenly intensifying in color, shifting from the normal cyan-green to a dark green.
With a step, the ground noticeably altered, decomposing into many pieces the size of fingernails, rapidly changing shape to propel her. It restored to its original form only after Lü Zuo’s toes left it.
This kind of geological change made it seem not like Lü Zuo was stepping forward on the earth but rather the earth was propelling her forward!
The previously parallel companions now varied in their speeds.
Lü Zuo’s geological change, as if amplified, layered speed upon speed, unexpectedly surpassing Hei Ao, who was wrapped in black thread-like lightning.
Propelled as if by an accelerator, she turned into a streak of green light and shot out with a buzz!
She made her finger a sword with a concentrated force of thousands, all on one point!
Left Path·Sword Finger!
Lü Zuo struck, and though her incredible speed caught the Reversed Demon by surprise, it was prepared.
Its right hoof struck forward.
The green light met with a terrifyingly painful shock, as deathly power burst across the body from the right hoof, withering and splitting.
This was the terrifying Left Path.
Known for its internal devastation with an outwardly simple touch.
[Reversed Demon: 2154/6000.]
The right hoof seemed pierced through by that Left Path Finger, leaving a gaping hole.
At this moment, while the Reversed Demon howled in agony, its injury-laden hoof suddenly grabbed Lü Zuo’s finger!
Lü Zuo’s expression changed as she used her other green-glowing finger to press on the wrist of the right hoof.
