Chapter 121 The Way to Victory

Everyone was stunned immediately!

They had never seen such a horrifying sight before, and they were all frozen in place, terrified.

The only one unaffected was Chen Xuan, who summoned the Thousand Thoughts Sword at almost the same time and thrust it straight at Zhang Zhi!
With the help of the mental cultivation technique, this person's energy had been completely divided into three parts, like connected golden starlight.

Moreover, the sword of energy, which could normally easily sever a human body, failed to pierce him in one fell swoop. Instead, it knocked him away like a blunt weapon.

"No doubt about it..." Chen Xuan thought to himself. This twisted body and multi-armed limbs were just like those monsters whose bodies were fused together in the world corrupted by black magic that Gildre discovered!
“You will all die here! Become sacrifices to the faithless lord!” Zhang Zhi was no longer human. It was not his drooping head that shouted these words, but the new body that arched out from his back—it didn’t even have a head or eyes, only a huge mouth full of sharp teeth opened in the chest area.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time Chen Xuan had faced such a monster.

The deformed beasts that guarded the altar and bookshelves last time were far more powerful than this one. They were demons by design, and spells used to target demons and disrupt spiritual energy were very effective against them.

However, Chen Xuan suddenly froze when he was about to replicate the discarding fin Thunder Bomb.

He discovered that he did not have the Heavenly Thunder Token with him!

Aside from the three classic Lotus Cloud Sect spells, the remaining section contained the Laws and Mantras!

Fuck it.

Chen Xuan took out the barcode scanner and glanced at it. As expected, this place was too far from the manor, and there was no signal for a long time. The only ability he could activate now was to teleport himself back to the shop.

Leaving is easy; Malena is a guest and can be taken away by me. But what about the others?

The Grand Historian Hongli and the other officials of the Immortal Alliance were all ordinary people. The only one who could fight was the prodigy disciple Mo Shuyun. However, sound magic had limited effect against enemies with strong bodies, and the demon moved extremely fast. He probably couldn't win against this demon.

If I leave, everyone here will die!
In the blink of an eye, the demon had already drawn its sword and tossed it aside, leaping onto the wall and charging towards them on all fours. At this moment, Zhang Zhi was like a mount, the headless body on his back being his true form.

In the eyes of the imperial historian, this monster wasn't climbing walls at all; it was practically flying right up to them! In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhi had gone from the entrance where he had been knocked away to the top of Chen Xuan's head!
"Sect Leader Chen, be careful!" He wanted to warn him, but he was too nervous and his throat was tightly shut. He couldn't even utter a single word when he opened his mouth.

Chen Xuan saw it all.

As his Divine Eye Technique level increased, he was not only able to maintain bullet time for longer, but his body also reacted more naturally to slow speeds.

The Thousand Thoughts Sword alone wouldn't be enough to break through the enemy's defenses; he had to find another way. But right now, survival was more important—not just his own, but also the lives of his team members.

As the enemy began its dive in slow motion, Chen Xuan subtly moved his fingers, summoning three more qi swords. One shot horizontally at the monster, pinning it to the wall like a nail. The other two swept towards Malena and Mo Shuyun's waists—they were bladeless swords, only capable of pushing force, and wouldn't actually cut the two of them apart.

As for himself, he simply rolled to his right.

The next second, the demon crashed to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a lot of dust and causing a crack to appear in the wall.

In reality, it was first rubbed against the wall by the horizontal thrust of the sword, which slowed it down considerably. The three people who were originally under its threat rolled away, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and avoided the powerful pounce.

"Don't stand there!" Chen Xuan warned. "Those who can't fight, run out first!"

These words reminded Hongli and the others that staying here would only increase casualties, so they quickly pulled each other and fled.

Realizing that the sword of energy had saved him, Mo Shuyun's face flushed slightly. He scrambled to his feet, pulling Malena along with him, saying, "That bastard was too quick! I definitely won't fall for that again next time!"

"I'm sorry... I was just lost in thought," Malena said somewhat embarrassedly. "Please don't mind me, Your Excellency."

After saying that, she took out an invisibility talisman and hid herself, saying, "I will support you from the shadows."

“It is no longer Zhang Zhi, but a demon.” Chen Xuan distanced himself from the two, forming a pincer movement. “Ordinary attacks, spells, or swords are ineffective against it. Don’t be fooled by its cultivator’s physical body; its skin is actually tougher than armor!”

"Sect Leader Chen, please cover your ears and let me try!" Seeing the monster rise again, Mo Shuyun threw away the broken fan and took a deep breath.

"Roar—!" The sound wave instantly swept across the entire hall.

The powerful sound waves made the bronze candlestick vibrate and hum, and all the dust on the ground was stirred up.

Chen Xuan felt his legs go numb... Didn't this kid know that sound can travel through solids? Using this move in such a small space, even if the opponent deliberately turned their back to him, he couldn't withstand the repeated echoes! Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Cloud Skill, which allowed him to disperse his energy throughout his body to protect himself.

In fact, even Mo Shuyun herself was caught off guard, staggering for a moment before suddenly vomiting blood.

The demons also let out painful roars and took two steps back. Zhang Zhi, who was being used as a mount, also covered his bleeding ears tightly and shouted angrily, "I will kill you, cut open your stomachs, and use your intestines as sacrifices!"

It then charged at Mo Shuyun again, completely ignoring Chen Xuan behind it.

Regardless of the damage dealt, this move is quite effective at drawing aggro.

But Mo Shuyun was also injured, and he had to go and rescue her.

Suddenly, a fireball exploded in front of the demon, stopping it in its tracks. The scorching heatwave baked everyone, making Chen Xuan wonder how many enemies he was actually fighting.

The only thing the flames ignited was Zhang Zhi's clothes. Even the burning didn't diminish the monster's reaction; it turned and pounced, grabbing the invisible witch and biting her!

Then, the three flying swords pierced the demon's gaping mouth and arm, freeing Malena from her confinement.

Invisibility is clearly ineffective against this guy!

However, upon seeing the gaping mouth that was being held shut by the Thousand Thoughts Sword, Chen Xuan suddenly had a solution.

"Mo Shuyun, shout at the monster in a voice that no normal person can hear, the louder the better!"

“But… that kind of attack can only hurt people, it’s not fatal…” the disciple questioned.

"That's because it's not low enough. When it's low enough, you can see a person's internal organs trembling, and that's when it becomes fatal!"

Mo Shuyun was greatly surprised, "Have you seen this spell elsewhere?"

"No, but just do as I say!" Chen Xuan replied while dealing with the enemy.

He paused for a moment, then murmured, "Okay... but how am I supposed to see its internal organs?"

"Of course we'll go inside and take a look!" After knocking the monster away with his sword again, Chen Xuan rushed to Mo Shuyun's side, grabbed his clothes from behind, and lifted him up.

"Huh? Huh?" Mo Shuyun was completely dumbfounded.

The demons over there also got up again and charged towards them without hesitation.

Chen Xuan threw the prodigy disciple in his hand directly at the enemy, simultaneously activating his Divine Eye Technique—

Mo Shuyun, suspended in mid-air, panicked, but with his hands and feet dangling, he couldn't change direction. The demon, naturally, wouldn't let such an opportunity pass, and instantly opened its massive maw.

Just as Mo Shuyun was about to fly into the demon's mouth, three swords of energy shot out diagonally from three directions, piercing right into its gaping maw and stretching it to its limit!

He was sent flying right into the monster's mouth!

Behind this mouth are not the tongue and throat, but various intertwined blood vessels, organs and intestines.

So that's how it is...

Mo Shuyun had only one thought in her mind: It stinks!
He almost instinctively emitted the loudest low growl! The intense low-frequency waves caused all the flesh and internal organs in front of him to tremble violently, then burst open one after another, spraying out all kinds of foul-smelling liquids and blood, filling the demon's entire body cavity!
