438 - Senior Sister Is on Top

Tang Muxi gripped the bone sword tightly: “Naturally, if I don’t eliminate you today, the consequences will be endless.” The demon, eager to act, momentarily paused when it saw Jiang Yin and the Demon-Imprisoning Blade she wielded. In a haunting tone, the demon said, “Jiang Yin, letting you go last time was already merciful. If you want revenge for your mother, I advise you to leave. If you persist in protecting her, I will show no mercy.” Jiang Yin sneered, feeling that this demon was delusional: “So what if I protect her? Today is the perfect opportunity to avenge my mother together with my junior!” With that, she raised her blade and attacked. The demon gave her a cold look and, after a brief hesitation, engaged her. Chapter 250 Jiang Yin was not a supreme deity. Although the Demon-Imprisoning Blade in her hand could break chains, the power was intangible, and controlling her to disrupt the array was extremely simple. Yet, perhaps out of old sentiment, the demon deliberately ignored the binding power of the blade, fighting her blade-to-sword, blow-for-blow. One was a former Demon Lord, the first Demon Emperor, and the other was a demon slayer from millennia ago. Both were formidable, their long blades swirling with fierce energy, demonic aura surging, and true energy clashing. Their battle shook the mist and echoed with thunder. Anyone unaware might think another great ascension was occurring. However, despite her past life experience, Jiang Yin’s cultivation was slightly inferior. Against the supremely refined demon, she was at a disadvantage. Tang Muxi, knowing Jiang Yin’s weakness, couldn’t bear to see her injured. He immediately joined in, fighting alongside his senior sister. Their attacks were swift and ruthless, their powerful energies colliding and creating massive shockwaves. The once-calm Yellow Spring Sea surged, whipped into towering waves by their battle. Although not as overwhelming as the waves summoned by the Ghostly Seal earlier, the force was still immense. Many demons with weaker cultivation levels had to release their spiritual treasures to block the shockwaves. The demon realm was heavily impacted by their battle, already on the brink of collapse, now trembling violently. Rocks scattered, earth fires erupted, making the realm look like a flower that could wilt at any moment. Wen Fei, unwilling to let the demon realm be destroyed, knew that fighting between deities was beyond her reach. She temporarily retreated to help stabilize the grounds and territories of the demon realm. Si Jun, being a divine tree, used his body to lock the demon realm's rock layers at a crucial moment, preventing the island from completely collapsing. Xunyi Yin Qing and others focused on dealing with the remaining ghosts and spirits, always keeping an eye on the god emperor's movements, ready to assist if needed. The demon’s lotus throne had insufficient power, limiting her strength. Faced with the combined onslaught of two opponents and numerous divine weapons, she found herself at a stalemate after dozens of exchanges. Moreover, she sensed that the two seemed hesitant, as if deliberately holding back in what should have been a fierce life-and-death struggle. Irritated, the demon suddenly unleashed her demonic aura, forcibly pushing both opponents back. Her beautiful eyes were filled with boundless anger: “If you want to fight, then fight. Holding back—are you looking down on me?!” She was decisive and ruthless. Even in revenge, she sought a thorough and satisfying battle. Clearly, her two opponents had the upper hand, but they refrained from delivering fatal blows, seemingly letting her off deliberately. Every time she launched a deadly strike, they merely dodged without retaliating. Tang Muxi’s face was tense as he sneered, “What, do I need to offer my life for the great ancestor to take this seriously?” Hearing this, Jiang Yin couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Though faint, everyone present, being masters of high cultivation, heard it clearly. The insult was subtle but cutting. The demon’s expression turned livid, knowing they were mocking her, but she couldn’t refute it. After a long pause, she said, “After countless reincarnations, even bound by demonic aura, the god emperor has learned quite a bit of vulgar talk, becoming quite sharp-tongued.” Taking a deep breath, the demon’s gaze fell on Jiang Yin beside Tang Muxi. In the heavens, she had seen the close relationship between the emperor and Jiang Yin several times. If she could kill Jiang Yin, Tang Muxi would surely go berserk. Dark glimmers flashed in the demon’s eyes, but she didn’t strike. Not because she lacked the power, but the memory of a female cultivator who had smashed to pieces millennia ago always brought hesitation. How amusing, who would have thought that a demon seeking to challenge the heavens would still be haunted by someone she had killed. After a moment of self-mockery, the demon glanced at the broken demon realm behind the divine beings. She paused, a smile curving her lips. Who said only Jiang Yin’s death could enrage the divine emperor? Destroying the demon realm he had protected for millennia, even exhausting rare spiritual resources to set up a barrier, should have the same effect... Raising her hand, the demon summoned her unique demonic aura, entwining it around the Ghostly Seal. The divine artifact emitted spiritual waves, suddenly calling forth tens of thousands of underworld flames, a vast sea of fire that seemed capable of burning the sky. Simultaneously, dark clouds loomed, pitch-black lightning crackling, radiating a soul-freezing mighty presence. “Reluctant to fight me?” The demon’s bare feet lightly stepped, corrupted lotus flowers blooming into green lotuses. From a distance, it resembled a mesmerizing illusion, beautiful yet hiding lethal danger. Tang Muxi instantly grew alert, gripping his crimson bone sword, ready to activate divine artifacts to counter the attack. Jiang Yin also ceased joking, instinctively moving closer to her junior brother. The demon noted their reactions, feeling immensely satisfied. “Since that’s the case, let me offer a little excitement for this battle. I’m sure the kind god emperor will appreciate it.” Her tone became ominously intriguing with the last words, sending chills down their spines. Sensing something was wrong, Tang Muxi recalled the demon’s earlier glance at his senior sister. He immediately activated the Eight Trigrams, setting layers of arrays centered around Jiang Yin. As an extra measure, he emulated the demon realm’s barrier, placing four divine weapons at the cardinal points, enveloping his senior sister in an impenetrable defense. Such an arrangement far surpassed the demon realm’s barrier. Unfortunately, his preparation would be in vain, for the demon’s target was not Jiang Yin. Thousands of underworld flames fell from the sky like meteorites, carrying the purest nether energy, crashing towards the demon realm. To prevent Tang Muxi from intervening, the demon even used the Ghostly Seal to tear through space, transporting the underworld flames directly before the demon realm.
