“Chen Ping…”
Zi Yuan was unwilling to leave, she wanted to go help Chen Ping.
However, she was pulled back by Hu Mazi. “Now he’s not Chen Ping anymore, don’t go causing trouble, once we escape, he’ll have a way to get away.”
Wu Hao, Wu Ji Daoist, Ling Yue, and the others also knew that Chen Ping was possessed, although they didn’t know who was possessing him, it was definitely helping them.
So these people desperately began rushing towards the outside of the imperial palace.
“None of you are getting away…”
Seeing this, the Soul Devouring Venerable was about to give chase, but he was blocked by Chen Ping!
Chen Ping, possessed by the Red Cloud Demon Lord, held the Dragon Slaying Sword, black mist swirling around him, his eyes scarlet like blood, his entire being emanating a terrifying aura completely different from before.
It was a demonic might forged from countless killings, deeper and more heart-palpitating than the demonic energy on the Soul Devouring Venerable.
“Red Cloud, you’re courting death!”
The Soul Devouring Venerable looked at Chen Ping blocking his way, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Although the Red Cloud Demon Lord was left with only a wisp of soul, he was after all a great demon cultivator who once dominated the Ninth Heaven, even if his strength was greatly diminished, he was by no means easy to deal with.
“Courting death?”
The corner of Chen Ping’s mouth curled into a cold smile, his voice becoming low and hoarse, completely in the tone of the Red Cloud Demon Lord. “Soul Devouring Venerable, it’s time to settle the score between us from back then!”
Before the words finished, Chen Ping’s figure flashed, instantly disappearing from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind the Soul Devouring Venerable, the Dragon Slaying Sword carrying the sound of breaking through the air, stabbing towards the Soul Devouring Venerable’s back.
On the sword body, black demonic energy intertwined with golden spiritual power, forming a strange and powerful force.
The Soul Devouring Venerable’s expression changed, he hadn’t expected the Red Cloud Demon Lord’s speed to be so fast. He quickly turned around, releasing powerful demonic energy around him, forming a black shield to block Chen Ping’s attack.
“Clang!”
A loud bang, the Dragon Slaying Sword stabbed into the black shield, emitting a piercing metal collision sound.
The black shield trembled violently, cracks appearing one after another, but in the end, it still blocked this strike.
The Soul Devouring Venerable was shaken back several steps, his expression becoming even more solemn. “I didn’t expect that although you’re left with only a wisp of soul, old fellow, you’ve retained so much strength!”
“Hmph, did you think I was staying in this lad’s body for nothing?”
Chen Ping snorted coldly, charging towards the Soul Devouring Venerable again. “Not only have I recovered part of my strength, but I’ve also learned quite a bit from this lad!”
The battle between the two erupted instantly, black demonic energy and golden spiritual power intertwining in the palace, forming bands of brilliant and dangerous light.
Each collision produced deafening booms, the entire palace trembling violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
On the other side, Wu Hao and the others began constantly rushing towards the outside of the Divine Capital.
Since Chen Ping was risking his life to create an opportunity for them to escape, they had to seize it.
“Hurry up!”
Ling Xi shouted loudly, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, cyan spiritual power erupting once more. “Golden Armoured Guards lead the way in front, Four Directions Divine Guards bring up the rear!”
“Yes!”
The three hundred Golden Armoured Guards responded in unison, raising their long spears together, golden spiritual light surging like a tide, forcibly tearing open a gap in the demon soul horde.
“Want to escape? It’s not that easy!”
A demon general roared angrily as he charged forward, the black long blade in his hand carrying eerie demonic energy, slashing straight at Ling Xi.
“Courting death!”
A divine guard on the left flashed, his long spear like a venomous snake striking, instantly piercing through the demon general’s chest.
“Hurry up!” Ling Xi shouted. “Don’t get entangled in battle!”
Wu Hao supported the injured Ling Yue, Zi Yuan followed closely behind, Hu Mazi brought up the rear, everyone rushing towards the outside of the Divine Capital City under the cover of the Golden Armoured Guards.
“Stop them!”
The demon cultivators roared as they pounced forward, black demonic energy enveloping like dark clouds.
