What was a demon?
Before Li Chengfeng met Xi Mengcai, this was a concept that only existed in his mind and imagination.
It was only after he met Xi Mengcai that Li Chengfeng understood why even though the sect leaders of the world's famous orthodox sects took it upon themselves to exterminate demons and protect the Dao, there were only a handful of great cultivators who actually hunted down these vicious demons.
The reason was simple …
Because these demons were simply too powerful!
The combat power displayed by the Golden Blood Guards made Li Chengfeng not dare to underestimate them. At least, he knew that if he didn't have more powerful magic treasures and Immortal Power, and if he didn't achieve a breakthrough in his realm, it was very likely that he wouldn't be their match. He might not even be able to defeat one of them.
However, even though the five of them had joined forces, they were easily killed by Xi Mengcai. Moreover, the way they were killed made Li Chengfeng tremble with fear.
Who could defend themselves against the fine bone ashes that filled the air?
Who would pay attention to these things?
Even these Golden Blood Guards, who had rich training and combat experience, did not notice them, let alone Li Chengfeng and the others.
Although Li Chengfeng and the others were cultivators, the Six David Guards were the core defense force that the Emperor had spent countless resources to create to protect the Divine Capital.
Be it in terms of talent or equipment, they were the best of the best. If they were to really fight to the death, Li Chengfeng and the other cultivators might not be able to win against these Blood Guards who were equipped with all sorts of broken equipment.
However, these powerful Blood Guards were easily torn apart by Xi Mengcai like skinned lambs. What appeared before Li Chengfeng's eyes were actually five Xi Mengcai, and they looked exactly the same!
At this moment, even Li Chengfeng lost his will to fight and survive.
Facing an opponent who could not be killed and could even retaliate in all sorts of strange ways, this was the most despairing thing.
Li Chengfeng let out a long sigh and hugged Yuehan tightly in front of him. He laughed bitterly in a low voice. "Perhaps the only fortunate thing is that we can die together?"
Yuehan's heart was filled with bitterness and hatred. If she still had her abilities, how could Xi Mengcai be so arrogant?
Now, she could only die with her lover outside the Divine Capital!
Yuehan raised her head and looked at Li Chengfeng in a daze. She laughed bitterly. "I can't believe we're going to die here."
In the face of death, Li Chengfeng's heart was at peace. He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He smiled and patted Yuehan's hair. Just as he was about to speak, Yuehan's eyes suddenly widened as she turned to look in the Divine Capital's direction.
Yuehan cried out involuntarily, "Look!"
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads in despair, only to see a streak of golden light streaking across the dark sky like a meteor in the distance, heading in their direction.
"That's …" Li Chengfeng was shocked but he quickly realised that something had changed. Perhaps, their chance of survival was within this!
Li Chengfeng perked up and yelled, "Don't give up!"
Right now, everyone also saw this beam of golden light flying over from the horizon and closing in on them at an astonishing speed. They all knew that this must be a top-notch expert from the Divine Capital!
Li Mengcai Cultivator Feng Chengfeng ".
Everyone was overjoyed. They perked up and moved closer to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng wanted to use his immortal energy to help them escape, but the flowers and trees around him had all decayed. Li Chengfeng did not have any energy to use at all, and it was the same for the insect puppets.
The muddy ground under their feet was like a kingdom of the dead, devoid of any signs of life. Only five skeletons of Xi Mengcai emerged from the skins of five dead Gold Blood Guards. They raised their bloody heads and looked at the sky, letting out terrifying roars.
Xi Mengcai seemed to have also sensed a powerful force approaching him at a rapid speed. He acted as if he was facing a great enemy. The five skeletons quickly gathered together, then their bones quickly intertwined with each other and grew into an incomparably huge Xi Mengcai.
What terrified Li Chengfeng and the rest the most was that there was an endless stream of skeletons crawling out from the ground under their feet. Skeletal spirits rose from all directions and crawled towards Xi Mengcai's feet. Gullies formed, as if Xi Mengcai's feet had taken root in the ground, feeding on vengeful spirits and spirits, desperately absorbing their energy to strengthen himself.
In just a short while, Xi Mengcai had turned into a ten-meter-tall skeleton giant. His body was still growing at a crazy speed. Just the thickness of his toes was already comparable to Li Chengfeng's waist.
Meanwhile, Xi Mengcai's body was still growing at a crazy speed. Li Chengfeng and the rest were terrified. They felt that if Xi Mengcai had turned into a skeleton giant and chased after them, they would have been turned into minced meat with just one stomp!
Li Chengfeng and the rest were terrified, afraid that Xi Mengcai would notice them. On a spur of the moment, he stomped down!
The skeleton giant before them was just too terrifying. It was different from the loose skeletons that Li Chengfeng had imagined. Not only did Xi Mengcai look sturdy, it was also filled with strength.
Every single one of his bones was formed from countless bones. It was as if countless bone vines were intertwined together, forming even thicker and stronger bones. Then, these bones were tightly intertwined with each other, forming an incomparably huge and sturdy skeleton.
The scariest thing was, when the giant grew to fifteen meters tall, Xi Mengcai's feet seemed to be sucking blood from the ground. Dark red blood began to gush out from his feet. The stench was pungent, and when a drop landed on the ground, there was a sizzling sound of corrosion.
Xi Mengcai, who had turned into a gigantic monster, roared at the golden light that was flying towards him. He let out an earth-shattering roar and spat out a thick, black, foul blood from his mouth towards the incoming golden light.
Yuehan knew that this foul blood originated from the Nine Hells. It was the coldest and most terrifying of all, and had a terrifying corrosive property. Even a top-grade magical weapon that came into contact with it would quickly be corroded and destroyed, unable to unleash its original power.
When everyone saw Xi Mengcai's terrifying appearance and smelled the foul blood, they instinctively wanted to escape.
However, when they looked up and saw the golden light that was already slashing down from the sky, they all stopped in unison. It was as if their feet were rooted to the ground, as they stared at the golden light without moving an inch.
This was because the golden light's power was so shocking that everyone was shocked at the sight of it!
When the golden light pounced towards them from afar, it let out a faint, thunderous sound as it tore through the night sky. Then, it continued to accelerate, and a golden halo expanded around the golden light like sparks. Due to its extreme speed, the halo was elongated into an irregular oval shape, as if it was dragging a golden, flaming tail behind it.
When it came closer, it was still a few hundred meters away. However, the crowd could feel that the earth-shattering golden light had already turned into a dense, golden thundercloud. This was because it was surrounded by dense lightning, and the roar of thunder was deafening!
The golden thundercloud pounced towards Xi Mengcai. At the same time, Xi Mengcai let out a wild roar and the foul blood from his mouth shot up into the sky as he pounced towards the golden thundercloud.
However, the crowd only saw that the moment the golden thundercloud came into contact with the foul blood, it immediately evaporated without a trace. It was like a hot knife cutting through cheese, slicing through it with an irresistible force!
There was a loud rumble!
The golden thundercloud came crashing down like a cannonball, instantly smashing into Xi Mengcai's body and piercing right through his head!
Xi Mengcai's huge body stopped moving for a moment. After a while, countless cracks appeared on his body, each crack pulsing with golden electric waves. Blinding golden light shone from these cracks, and countless dark souls desperately tried to escape from the cracks. However, the moment they came into contact with the golden light, they did not manage to escape far before they howled and turned into a puff of green smoke, dissipating into the heavy night.
Then, Xi Mengcai's body disintegrated and disappeared, leaving behind countless ashes that fell like snow.
The crowd immediately covered their mouths and noses in shock. Yuehan said, "He's dead, Xi Mengcai is dead!"
Li Chengfeng was pleasantly surprised. "Is he really dead this time?"
Yuehan nodded, then shook her head, "I can't feel his aura anymore, but … he will be reborn in the blood pool in the deepest part of the Nine Hells, but that won't happen anytime soon."
Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when he saw the golden thundercloud's golden light gradually dissipate, revealing a long sword floating in mid-air, he was even more terrified and nervous than when he saw Xi Mengcai.
