Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The energy surging from the man in black completely enveloped him.

He crossed his arms, and the swirling black demonic energy merged with the red soul power, eventually transforming into white flames that slowly burned on his body.

Ye Ge felt the air around her begin to get cold.

It was an unnatural cold, a chilling cold that could easily penetrate the skin of a superhuman protected by their soul energy, yet it could also burn with a cold stench once it entered the body.

'Apocalypse Realm, Fifth Stage...'

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and read the extraordinary level of the man in black in front of him.

"Fifth-tier demonic martial skill - Death Claw!"

The cold, burning white flames finally converged in the hands of the man in black.

Ye Ge's pupils dilated, and the figure of the man in black attacking was reflected in his eyes.

The attack by the man in black was ruthless and swift. The hand, enveloped in cold white flames, appeared in front of Ye Ge almost instantly, aiming to grab his face!

This attack was incredibly fast, unlike the speed a normal fifth-level Heavenly Enlightenment Realm cultivator should have.

The approaching hands exuded an eerie, chilling aura, making one feel paralyzed.

"boom!"

Ye Ge suddenly unleashed the Azure Dragon Sacred Qi.

The Royal Dragon Room!

The azure dragon scales pieced together to form an armored wall, completely protecting Night Song and blocking the attack of those claws.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ge suddenly raised her leg, seized the opening in the man in black's attack, and struck the man in black's shoulder with a whip kick.

With a muffled thud, the man in black raised his left arm to block the heavy kick, but in doing so, he was swayed several meters to the right.

The man in black chuckled and smiled slightly, "Interesting."

He wanted to form hand seals and make another move, but his expression quickly changed.

Because Ye Ge had switched from defense to offense, he raised his hand and grabbed, and all the surrounding black mist surged towards him.

A series of sharp bird cries came from within the black mist, and hundreds of black crows flew out, their black feathers forming a storm with the black mist, surrounding the man in black.

The man in black reacted swiftly, instantly changing his hand seals and chanting the incantation: "Fourth-tier demonic ability—Dark Flame Sandstorm!"

The sand burning with white flames rose up with his demonic energy.

The black mist, swirling with crows, collided with the sandstorm, which was accompanied by white flames, in the air, creating a continuous, dense series of small explosions like firecrackers.

This is the result of the collision of their magical powers!

The man in black staggered back several steps, and just as he regained his senses, he discovered that Ye Ge was gone again.

A cold sweat broke out, and I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.

A series of whooshing sounds reached my ears, and I suddenly turned my head to look behind me.

Night Song emerged from the black mist, his eyes as calm as a fearsome hunter's, his right hand holding a ball of golden lightning crackling with electricity.

Golden lightning condensed into the shape of a lightning sword in his palm, and then he swung his hand to strike!

"Well--!"

The man in black was a beat too slow to dodge this time. The lightning sword, shining with golden light, flashed across his chest, tearing open his clothes and flesh.

Blood immediately flowed down the black clothes. Lightning had torn open a huge wound, and blood flowed down like a stream, soaking the black clothes, including the black pants, into bright red.

'Wow! This kid has actually become so powerful?'

The man in black broke out in a cold sweat.

Ignoring the reopening of his wounds, he dodged several times, creating a considerable distance between himself and the enemy.

Night Song continued her relentless attack, applying immense pressure.

Raise two fingers and quickly recite the incantation silently.

"Celestial Technique - Eclipse Holy Thunder!"

Dark thunderclouds rapidly gathered overhead, flashing with light, and golden lightning leaped within the black clouds, followed by streaks of golden lightning striking the ground!

"boom!"

A thunderclap struck!

"Holy crap..." The man in black was startled and dodged a bolt of lightning with his agile movements.

"boom!!"

The second lightning strike created a huge crater in the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust!

The figure of the man in black had completely disappeared from sight.

"boom--!!!"

"boom--!!!"

"boom--!!!"

"..."

Five consecutive, terrifying lightning bolts of immense power have altered the terrain.

The ground was blasted into pieces, revealing more than a dozen crisscrossing trenches and cracks...

Amidst the swirling dust, Ye Ge stood calmly in place as a crow flew back to his shoulder.

The spirit of calamity was also covered in dust and sand. It slightly opened its dark feathers and shook them vigorously.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

The man in black sat on the ground, amidst a series of cracks, his black clothes torn to shreds by the explosion.

Night Song: "So, are you still going to fight?"

"That's it!" the man in black cursed, clutching his chest wound. "You're still the same, you're not cute at all! Ouch... that hurts like hell, you hit me so hard..."

As he spoke, he took off his mask and took two deep breaths of fresh air.

It was an owl!

Ye Ge said softly, "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? Didn't you attack me first? You're so childish for your age."

“It’s been so long since we last met. Can’t I even test my son’s studies? Who knew you’d be so filial…” Night Owl’s face grew paler and paler as he spoke, and his voice became weaker and weaker. His hand, which was covering his chest wound, was covered in blood.

Night Song was puzzled.

The demonized human has a strong natural regenerative ability. His modified lightning sword attack with the Eclipse Holy Lightning did not damage Night Owl's heart meridian and soul power nodes; it only appeared that he had lost a lot of blood.

Such injuries shouldn't be anything to Night Owl, right?

Night Owl: "Aren't you going to come and help me up?"

Ye Ge hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took Ye Xiao's hand.

Night Owl's eyes flashed, and he grabbed Night Song's wrist.

"Sneak attack!"

"Third-tier demonic ability - Sandbound Spirit!"

White quicksand slid rapidly down Ye Ge's wrist and into his clothes.

Ye Ge suddenly felt that his body was unable to move.
