Unable to tolerate the Old Demon's rise, the Old Demon's cultivation base continued to soar endlessly.
At the moment, even Huangpu Huichun couldn't help but feel nervous, his palms sweating.
He could clearly sense that the Old Demon's cultivation base had reached the critical point of the Yuan Venerate. As long as he put in a little more effort, he would be able to match Huangpu Huichun.
Ding!
Suddenly, the Old Demon's rising aura stopped.
The wailing of thousands of ghosts above the Broken Dragon Cliff immediately dissipated.
The Old Demon's cultivation base was stuck at the peak Yuan Monarch level. It was extremely awkward for him to be below the Yuan Venerate level.
Huangpu Huichun's body shuddered when he heard this sound, as if he had just peed in his pants.
"He is a sissy …"
The Old Demon cursed anxiously. He had only gained a tiny bit of strength after absorbing the soul power of more than three million ghosts.
It was far from one-thousandth of his peak strength.
"Kill …"
"Destroy him quickly!"
"Kill this old fart!"
Nine Solitary Swords and the other two were scared out of their wits. Fortunately, the other party's cultivation base hadn't soared to the Yuan Venerate level.
Immediately, the three of them attacked the Old Demon with all their might, just like when they had attacked Qin Yun.
"Senior Red, be careful …"
Qin Yun struggled to get up, but his body did not have the slightest bit of strength.
"Although I can't kill you all, I can drag you all into my coffin. This Second Master didn't waste my time in the human world. Let's perish together … Red Crown Blood Contract!"
Weng!
Weng!
Weng …
Accompanied by the old monster's shout, three thunderous roars suddenly sounded.
All of a sudden, three dragon heads made of blood-red mist appeared around the old demon.
The three Blood Qi dragon heads circled around him once, then shot towards Nine Solitary Swords and the other two in a single file.
Before the three of them could launch an attack, a blood-red dragon head coiled around each of them.
Upon contact, Nine Solitary Swords, Ximen Gang, and Huangpu Huichun immediately howled in pain. They threw their weapons to the ground and hugged their heads frantically.
They felt a strong suction force pulling their souls out of their bodies.
The pain of having one's soul torn apart was something no ordinary person could understand.
In one move, the three of them were subdued by the Old Demon.
"Kaka, you've been hit by Second Master's Soul Devouring Great Technique. Accept your fate!"
The Old Demon laughed strangely. At the same time, his aura began to weaken.
The Red Crown Blood Contract was a technique that tore apart one's soul. No technique could resist it, unless one was like Qin Hao, whose spiritual power was on par with the Old Demon's or surpassed the Old Demon's.
No, there was no solution!
Of course, the tearing power produced by the Red Crown Blood Contract relied on the Old Demon's soul as a foundation.
If he couldn't tear the enemy's soul apart, then his own soul would slowly dissipate.
In other words, either he killed Nine Solitary Swords and the other two, or the Old Demon died from exhaustion.
Now that they had fallen into a tug-of-war, it would depend on who would be the first to give up!
"Amazing!"
Qin Yun's face was filled with shock.
The Old Demon was just a spiritual body, yet he was able to withstand the attacks of three Yuan Monarchs of the same level.
Qin Yun knew that he didn't have this ability.
If a spiritual body was so powerful, the Old Demon would be invincible among his peers if he had a physical body.
"Brother Hao, you are so lucky!"
Qin Yun exclaimed.
Creak!
Huangpu Huichun, who was watching the battle coldly from the side, clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "What a dangerous thing!"
A spiritual body was able to contend with three Yuan Monarchs.
If the Old Demon's spiritual body had reached the Yuan Venerate level, Huangpu Huichun would be the one holding his head and shaking his head.
He definitely couldn't let this thing live. It was too dangerous!
Huangpu Huichun nodded and turned to the group of Huangpu Family elders behind him. "The few of you, go up and use your Yuan Fire to roast that ball of bloody energy!"
He could sense that the Old Demon's power was declining.
If they took advantage of the fact that the Old Demon and Nine Dugu Swords were exhausted and released their Yuan Fire to roast the spiritual body …
It would definitely be a blow to the Old Demon.
They might even be able to kill the Old Demon in an instant.
However, Huangpu Huichun was very careful. He didn't want to take the risk because he wasn't sure if the Old Demon was still hiding any trump cards.
"This …"
The elders of the Huangpu Family looked at each other. They were also very unwilling to take the risk.
"Huh?"
Huangpu Huichun's eyes widened.
"Let's go!"
A few powerful elders of the Huangpu Family immediately approached the Old Demon timidly. Balls of flames rose from their palms one after another.
"A bunch of despicable and shameless things!"
Qin Yun was extremely anxious.
He could clearly see that the Old Demon was already at his limit by holding off Nine Dugu Swords and the other two.
If the Old Demon was suddenly roasted by the enemy's Yuan Fire at this critical juncture, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow.
In fact, Qin Yun wasn't the only one who was anxious.
The Old Demon was also extremely anxious.
"The two of you, hold on!"
"Guard your Yuan Qi!"
"Roar!"
Nine Dugu Swords and the other two's souls could be seen flickering on their bodies. It was as if they would be pulled out at any moment and devoured by the Old Demon.
With the intervention of the Huangpu Family's elders, the three immediately became extremely alert and firmly guarded their minds. As long as they could hold on a little longer, the ghost that was imprisoning them would die. The Old Demon's plot to pull them into a coffin would not succeed.
"Everyone, charge!"
"Victory or defeat will be decided here!"
"Destroy this evil ghost energy!"
The elders of the Huangpu Family cheered each other on. They stood shoulder to shoulder and held hands. Their faces were full of enthusiasm. They were getting closer and closer to the Old Demon. The Yuan Fire in their palms was ready to be unleashed.
But the Old Demon was unable to move at this moment.
Boom!
At this critical juncture, a dark red fire shadow flew up from the bottom of the cliff and landed at the edge of the Broken Dragon Cliff.
This fire shadow was burning with a strong flame energy, and its face could not be seen clearly.
Only through the flame could one vaguely see that there was a figure inside the sword.
The elders of the Huangpu Family, who were about to attack, immediately stopped in their tracks.
Everyone, including Huangpu Huichun, focused their attention on this fire shadow.
Although its aura was relatively weak compared to the others.
But at this moment, no one dared to underestimate this fire shadow.
Because Qin Hao's left hand was holding a twisted head.
His right hand was tearing a person's hair.
The head on the left was impressively the sixth elder of the Dugu Family, Dugu Jin.
And the guy whose hair was being pulled by Qin Hao was the eldest young master of the Dugu Family, Dugu Yu.
Then, Qin Hao walked towards the center of the field step by step. Dugu Yu also let out a heart-wrenching scream. His palms continuously struck Qin Hao's arms, each of them wrapped in Profound Sage-level Yuan Qi.
But after countless strikes, Qin Hao was not injured at all.
On the contrary, Dugu Yu's scalp was almost torn off by Qin Hao due to his violent struggle. He was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. Scratches were left on the ground. Finally, Qin Hao successfully tore his scalp into the heavy sword on the battlefield.
Gulp!
