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

However, Yan Ji remained calm and composed. Her demonic flames were like an endless raging tide, instantly filling the gap again with even greater force, rolling forward.

The demonic storm engulfed all the approaching demons, and with each shrill scream, they were instantly evaporated by the intense heat, leaving only trails of purple, sinister energy.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ge couldn't help but feel a slight sense of amazement.

It seems that Muraki's Dimensional Slash, while capable of cutting open dimensional rifts, can only create a relatively small dimensional space.

It's like a pocket; once it's full, it can't hold anything else.

Spatial power is, after all, one of the most difficult laws of nature to control. It seems that even though Muraki is a Soul Emperor-level transcendent being, he still cannot control very strong spatial power...

At this point, Muraki's situation changed again.

The eerie purple demonic energy surrounding him merged with his body.

His physical appearance gradually changed. His hair grew longer and longer, turning white. His limbs also began to lengthen. The bronze mask on his face transformed into a solid demonic face. Five sharp horns grew from the top of his head, and jagged bone spurs grew from his skin, flowing with a faint purplish-red light. He became a terrifying creature that was half-human and half-demon!

The katana he held was also covered in a layer of filth and evil, and one could faintly hear the mournful cries of ghosts and wolves.

"Poor fellow." Flame Princess looked at Muraki coldly and said, "Being born into the Sun Wheel Clan destined you for tragedy. I'll send you on your way!"

boom!

More demonic flames danced under her control, enveloping the half-demonized Muraki layer upon layer.

Muraki was not about to surrender. He roared and charged forward with his katana.

However, they were blocked from returning by the wall of fire.

The demonic flames entangled the katana in his hand. Muraki struggled to slash through the surging sea of ​​fire, each strike of his katana creating a dimensional rift. But as soon as he made a cut, it was instantly filled by even more layers of gathered flames.

The demonic flames tightened, and his sword-wielding movements became increasingly sluggish. The intense heat relentlessly eroded the skin of his half-demon body, causing blood to seep out and instantly evaporate into a blood mist by the demonic flames. Mutated muscle fibers were now visible beneath his black skin.

"roar......!!"

Muraki struggled hysterically in the sea of ​​fire, even though the fiery tornadoes surrounding him were four or five meters thick.

"Sizzle, sizzle, crackle, snap..."

The skin and muscles on the surface of the body were burned through, even exposing the stark white bones.

The terrifying face of the half-human, half-demon grew increasingly ferocious, yet it still stubbornly moved forward inch by inch, each step accompanied by the sound of muscles tearing and bones breaking.

"Tch..." Yan Ji's expression darkened: "She's really troublesome!"

She raised her hands and clenched them in the air again, her knuckles trembling slightly as she exerted force, making a "click-clack" sound.

"Darkborn - Hell Vortex!"

"Darkborn - Flame Burial!"

Once again, two powerful moves were unleashed simultaneously, increasing the range and intensity of the demonic flames by two levels!

The ground beneath Muraki's feet instantly transformed into molten lava and flames, gradually engulfing his lower body.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Aa ...

Muraki's eyes were bloodshot, but this time, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move anymore. His lower body was quickly melted and vaporized by the intense heat of the demonic flames, then his abdomen, then his chest, his arms... and the demon behind him was also grabbed by giant demonic flame hands and dragged into the abyss...

Ye Ge raised his hand to shield his eyes from the scorching heat, his eyes squinting, leaving only a small gap to see what was in front of him, as waves of heat pounded against his face.

......

It is unknown how much time passed before the demonic flame storm, which had devoured heaven and earth, gradually dissipated.

Ye Ge stood on a 30-meter-tall, bare tree that had been burned to a crisp. He looked around and saw that, apart from the tree he was standing on, the forest within a radius of several kilometers had been completely burned to the ground, with faint smoke still rising from the ground.

Muraki had long since been reduced to ashes in the flames; not only were his remains burned away, but even his ashes were likely completely consumed...

"Tsk..."

Ye Ge couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. After all, the other person was a fellow Earthling who had traveled to this world with him, and this guy's death was far more tragic than Huo Xiao's...

......

Outside the boundary.

In the woods.

Nangong Qiuyue, Bai Qing, and a group of Night Watchers and members of the Night Clan are still searching for the entrance to the barrier.

"Captain, this won't work..."

A young watchman ran back, looking distressed: "We've tried so many methods—leaving marks, using a rope, a compass… but no matter what we do, we always end up back where we started…"

Nangong Qiuyue gripped her hair tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "Damn it... how could this happen? I've already narrowed down the search area, but I still can't find it no matter what I do... I've got it! Here's what we'll do: use the Deep Blue system map to mark the route, and then try again!"

Young night watchman: "Yes, sir!"

Bai Qing followed behind her, sighing deeply, and said helplessly, "Sigh... Captain Nangong, I've already told you, this fog covering the mountain isn't ordinary fog, it's a barrier. If you can't find the entrance to the fog barrier, no amount of directional tools will help..."

"What should we do?" Nangong Qiuyue said anxiously, "Ye Ge and the others have been missing for so long, they must have encountered enemies, maybe...maybe they're already in danger..."

Bai Qing sighed softly again: "I already told you, Lord Ye Ge and the others will be safe."

How can you be so sure there's no danger?

"...I can't tell you that, it's a secret."

"Then how can I trust you?" Nangong Qiuyue glared at her. "Besides, you don't seem worried about Ye Ge at all. What if you're an undercover agent like that Lin Jianxiu from earlier?!"

Bai Qing was speechless.

However, she wasn't angry.

Sigh, love really does make people lose their minds...

Bai Qing shook her head inwardly.

At that moment, she suddenly saw signs of distorted scenery appearing in the mist ahead.

Bai Qing's eyes lit up immediately: "They're out."
