The power of the Monster Emperor?
I was a bit confused. The power that had just been released from the Yang God was extremely strong, but I had never sensed it before. Was this the power of the Monster Emperor?
I didn't say anything, but the black-robed Demonic Race expert seemed to have gone berserk. He glared at me and asked, "You have the power of a God Puppet and the power of a Monster Emperor... Who are you?"
How could I tell him this?
If I told him the truth, that I was the Monster Emperor, he probably wouldn't believe me.
However, looking at him now, I was sure that the Demonic Race of the Mountain and Sea Realm also revered the Monster Emperor. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called the "Monster Emperor".
The black-robed Demonic Race expert questioned me for a long time. Seeing that I didn't respond, he seemed to have lost his last bit of patience. An ominous glint appeared in his eyes, and black smoke rose from his hands. "Brat, tell me your name. Otherwise, I'll skin you, tear apart your tendons, and search your soul. Then I'll ask you."
As he spoke, he seemed to be preparing to attack.
Facing such a powerful black-robed Demonic Race expert, the only thing I could do was buy some time. Just as I was about to speak, a black shadow appeared in the distance. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of me. Ignoring me, it coldly said to the black-robed Demonic Race expert, "Impudent! You don't deserve to know his name!"
My eyes went wide. Why would the evil sacrificial spirit suddenly appear? Could it be that he had been following me all this time?
Before I could figure it out, the evil sacrificial spirit flicked his robe, creating a whirlwind that dispersed the black smoke in the black-robed Demonic Race expert's hands.
From the aura he gave off, it seemed that the evil sacrificial spirit's cultivation base was even more powerful than before. I guessed that the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm had brought him great benefits.
The sudden appearance of the evil sacrificial spirit shocked the black-robed Demonic Race expert. Clearly, he hadn't noticed that someone was watching him. Feeling a bit apprehensive, he stared at the evil sacrificial spirit for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Hearing the question, the evil sacrificial spirit didn't give him any face. He laughed coldly and said, "You don't deserve to know either."
After being humiliated twice in a row, the black-robed demon revealed his ferocity. He simply didn't pursue the matter of Chen Xi's identity and said coldly, "Aren't you a little too arrogant? Our cultivations are equally matched. I'd like to see where your confidence comes from!"
With that, the Demonic Race expert disappeared and reappeared in front of the evil sacrificial spirit in the blink of an eye. Black smoke appeared in his hands again as he attacked.
He suddenly launched an attack, but the evil spirit of the priest did not hesitate. He crossed his hands that were overflowing with witchcraft aura and slapped towards the demon.
In the blink of an eye, their palms met. At the point where their palms met, two balls of energy tore at each other, emitting squeaking sounds.
"Two" Demon "Demonic Emperor", the two, "Demonic Demonic Demed, Emperor, God," strong, "the two," Demon, "Two" God, Mu, and Mu, the the the power, they, the God, they, Emperor, they, and I, I, they.
They didn't dare to relax in such a stalemate. The power in their bodies surged unceasingly to their palms. While they counteracted each other, they constantly replenished each other.
After a few seconds, a sphere containing two different powers appeared in the center of their palms.
The two powers were constantly tearing at each other in the sphere. As the two of them were in a stalemate, their sizes kept increasing. Not long after, they became a few meters in size.
While I was shocked, the two powers in the sphere seemed to have reached a saturation point, and they constantly made squeaking sounds.
Before I could react, the two of them stopped attacking. The Demonic Race expert retreated while the evil sacrificial spirit dashed towards me. He picked me up and ran far away.
As soon as I left the place, I heard a rumbling sound behind me. Immediately after, a strong gust of wind blew in all directions.
The gust of wind was extremely fast, but the evil sacrificial spirit's speed wasn't slow either. Even though I could feel the gust of wind around me as I flew away, its power was similar to that of a normal wind.
After we landed steadily on the ground, I hastily looked behind me. The place where we had been standing was now a complete mess. There wasn't a single intact thing in the surroundings. Even the ground had been forcefully opened up to a depth of ten meters. It could be seen that the power that had been used during the battle between the two was terrifying.
Fortunately, even though the air wave was strong, it didn't affect a large area. Only a hundred meters around us were affected. Moreover, we were standing at a corner of the Xu family's manor. Only the garden was damaged, and the other important buildings weren't damaged.
As for the Xu family members, they had already hidden far away, so they weren't affected.
Not long after we stopped, the black-robed Demonic Race expert chased after us. He was rather valiant. Seeing that the evil sacrificial spirit wasn't any weaker than him, he didn't have any intention of retreating. Instead, his eyes lit up, as though he was eager to fight. He shouted, "I didn't think that there would be an expert like you in the human world. I have underestimated a hero of the human race. Today, you and I will fight to the death!"
As he said that, the black-robed figure remained at his original position, but the Demonic Race expert had already closed in on me.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the evil sacrificial spirit extended his hand and threw me a hundred meters away before he started fighting with the Demonic Race expert.
I naturally couldn't interfere in the battle between two experts that were half a step into the Xiaju realm, so I could only observe from the side.
This time, the two of them didn't clash head-on like before. Instead, they seemed to be probing each other. In that moment, they were in a deadlock.
Seeing this situation, I didn't stay here for long. When Xu Kun was communicating with me, he wasn't in a good state. Since this was a good opportunity, I might as well save him first.
With that thought, I looked around and quickly found the Xu family members hiding in the distance.
I quickly went in front of them and asked them where Xu Kun was hiding.
After the previous incident, they weren't on guard against me and quickly brought me to the secret room that Xu Kun was hiding in.
Very quickly, we arrived at the hidden room of the Xu family and saw Xu Kun, who was already unconscious.
At that moment, his entire body was covered in wounds. Blood was scattered all over the ground and his face was as pale as paper.
When the elders of the Xu clan saw this, they became even more flustered. They hurriedly went up to check, and only after confirming that Xu Kun still had a breath left did they relax slightly. Afterwards, they tried to help Xu Kun heal in a flurry.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped them and walked forward to help Xu Kun up. I placed my hands on his shoulders, and the strange spiritual power in my body circulated through Xu Kun's body. Then, I used my Dao Qi to transfer it to him.
Around half an hour later, Xu Kun woke up. After looking at the elders of the Xu family, his eyes finally landed on me. He smiled and said weakly, "I knew that Brother Zhou would be able to save my Xu family... Thank you!"
After he said that, the elders of the Xu family surrounded him. All of them had worried and doting expressions as they continuously checked his body.
It was obvious that everyone in the Xu Clan was especially concerned about Xu Kun, and it was no wonder that everyone accepted death calmly and only sent him into the secret chamber when they encountered danger earlier.
At that moment, Xu Kun's body had already recovered. Due to my trust in the sacrificial evil spirit, I didn't stay in the secret room for long. After all, the secret room wasn't big and it didn't feel good to have so many people squeezing in there.
The people of the Xu family didn't want to go out, but Xu Kun trusted me and followed me out. The other elders of the Xu family naturally followed.
After returning to the surface, the sacrificial evil spirit and the monster were still locked in battle. It could be seen that their cultivations were about the same and they couldn't do anything to each other.
This was within my expectations. After all, they were all at the level of Half-step Xiaju. At this level, they were only half a step away from becoming true Immortals. All of them were exceedingly powerful, and it would be difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time, let alone kill them. It was practically impossible.
After observing for a moment, the two people in the battle suddenly stopped their movements with great tacit understanding, and both retreated dozens of meters back.
I didn't know what was going on, but in a blink of an eye, their bodies changed.
A large amount of shaman energy suddenly appeared around the sacrificial evil spirit. The density of the shaman energy was beyond my imagination. It seemed to have condensed into a physical form and covered his entire body.
On the other side, the black-robed monster's body surged with demonic energy. Black smoke surged and covered his body as well.
After doing all that, the two of them disappeared from where they were at the same time. Soon after, the sounds of fighting could be heard in the surroundings, but the two of them could not be seen at all. Every time the sounds of fighting were heard, there would be a wave of Qi that would create cracks in the ground.
Under this strange and terrifying situation, the Xu family and I hid far away and held our breaths as we silently waited for the result.
Originally, I trusted the sacrificial evil spirit very much. However, after so many battles, there was still no result. Even I felt a little uneasy and was prepared to hide in the secret room again.
Fortunately, after a short while, the sound of fighting stopped and the two figures appeared in the air again.
Under such an intense battle, even the powerful sacrificial evil spirit seemed to be unable to endure. After he reappeared, his chest heaved up and down and his body trembled slightly.
On the other hand, the monster was in an even worse state. Black smoke was emitting from his chest and the black robe that he wore was in a mess. There were many tears on it. It was obvious that he had been injured.
It seemed that my previous worries were unnecessary. The sacrificial evil spirit still had the upper hand.
After a short pause, the sacrificial evil spirit produced a ball of thick shaman energy in his hand. He didn't directly attack the black-robed monster, but instead waved his hand and scattered it in the air.
Following his action, a black cloud suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky. It hovered above the monster's head. The black cloud surged and there seemed to be lightning accumulating in it, gradually pressing downwards.
The pressure from the black cloud was extremely strong. I could feel it even though I was standing far away. Moreover, as the black cloud pressed downwards, the pressure increased. After a few seconds, I was unable to resist and my back bent. The Xu family members behind me had already fallen to the ground, almost unconscious.
I hurriedly urged the magical power in my body to quickly recover the witchcraft energy in my body. Then, I stood up straight and helped the Xu family members to share some of the pressure. Only then did I manage to prevent them from getting hurt.
I lifted my head to look at the battle in the sky. At that moment, the black-robed monster stood still while a silver lightning suddenly struck from the black cloud. However, the strange thing was that the lightning didn't shoot at the black-robed monster but at the sacrificial evil spirit.
I was shocked as I thought that something had happened. However, the silver lightning reached the front of the sacrificial evil spirit. It didn't attack his body but the ball of shaman energy in his hands.
Originally, the ball of shaman energy in his hands was only the size of a fist. However, after the silver lightning shot into it, it instantly expanded to a diameter of ten meters.
Then, the ball of shaman energy that carried the power of lightning exploded and turned into raindrops that filled the sky.
In the next second, as the sacrificial evil spirit waved his hand, tens of thousands of raindrops shot at the black-robed monster in the distance.
Seeing such a divine power, the black-robed monster naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. When the magical raindrops arrived in front of him, he suddenly straightened his body and let out a low roar. Then, countless amounts of monster energy shot up to the sky.
However, it was a pity that the monster energy that shot up to the sky was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when it faced the sacrificial evil spirit's all-out attack. It couldn't form an effective defense and was instantly pierced through by the magical raindrops. Moreover, the raindrops didn't slow down and continued to pierce through his body.
While the raindrops pierced through his body, the black cloud that hovered above his head suddenly descended and directly hit his broken body.
After the two collided, there was an earth-shaking explosion. Smoke and dust filled the air. Even I, who was standing far away, felt the earth shake.
Under such power, I originally thought that the black-robed monster wouldn't be able to escape. However, I didn't expect that a black light would dart out from the smoke and dust at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the horizon.
At the same time, a voice came from afar.
