Chapter 95: Battle Against the Demon Emperor

To think it was only the mid stage of the Dao Extreme Realm. But if you believe that alone is enough to defeat this Emperor, you are far too naive. Still, the weaker you are, the more certain this Emperor is that he can wipe you out. Hahaha.

Feeling the aura rising from Lan Lianshuang, the Demon Emperor was not alarmed. Instead, he threw back his head and laughed.

The words struck down like a thunderclap, leaving Ouyang Xiaofeng and the others utterly stunned. In their minds, Lan Lianshuang had always been a Xuan-rank mage. How could she possibly be at the Dao Extreme Realm? Had she broken through?

But how could that be?

The thought was too unbelievable to accept. After all, Lan Lianshuang was only nineteen. No matter how monstrously gifted she might be, it was impossible for her to have reached the Dao Extreme Realm at such an age. Yet the aura before them was unmistakably that of a Dao Extreme Realm expert.

Even if you stand at the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm, so what? Today, I will defeat you.

Lan Lianshuang let out a cold cry. The Ice Shuttle in her hand shifted, and in an instant, boundless crystalline ice runes surged forth from it, howling through the air as they slammed into the giant hand.

Boom!

Under the impact of the countless ice runes, the giant hand trembled. Terrifying demonic power burst outward, but it was quickly washed away by the icy force. Then the frost rose like a rainbow, shooting straight toward the Demon Emperor.

Hahaha! Even with the Ice Shuttle empowering you, it is still far from enough before this Emperor. Today, I shall show you what the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm truly means.

Faced with the charging frost, the Demon Emperor did not evade. With another roar of laughter, he stepped forward and struck out with his palm into empty space. At once, a colossal blood-colored seal appeared before him, directly blocking the incoming frost.

And that was not all. The blood seal seemed to be part of a great formation in motion, releasing a surge of terrifying demonic power that shattered the frost outright, then hurtled on toward Lan Lianshuang.

That demonic force shot like a rainbow, like a meteor crashing into the earth.

Its might made everyone’s hearts pound with dread. Even Jiang Xiaofei, seeing this, felt a chill run through him. Such power was nothing short of destructive. He had no idea whether Lan Lianshuang could withstand it.

At that moment, Lan Lianshuang’s expression tightened. She looked grave. Under the impact of the demonic force, she seemed like a small boat caught in a gale, her hair whipping wildly and her clothes snapping in the wind.

That pressure was like a fierce storm, so overwhelming that for a moment she could barely open her eyes. Yet she did not retreat. In her eyes there was only endless battle intent. With a movement of her hand, the Ice Shuttle burst forth with a terrifying power of frost, surging upward like a rainbow to resist the demonic force.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out as the two terrifying powers collided, forming a shockwave that spread in all directions and shook even the void itself.

Even standing below, Jiang Xiaofei could clearly feel the violent tremors coming from above. It was truly hard to imagine that a battle between Dao Extreme Realm experts could be this horrifying. When gods fight, mortals suffer. There was no better way to describe it.

Your combat strength is indeed astonishing. If it were an ordinary Dao Extreme Realm expert, they would truly be no match for you. However, this Emperor is no ordinary Dao Extreme Realm expert. This Emperor is at the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm. Competing with me in spiritual power, you are still far from enough.

With that, the Demon Emperor laughed once more and slammed down with his palm. The demonic power burst forth, directly suppressing the frost and gradually gaining the upper hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofei’s expression turned grim. His heart filled with worry. Though Lan Lianshuang had now broken the seal within her body and gained the strength to contend with Dao Extreme Realm experts, the Demon Emperor was a peak Dao Extreme Realm powerhouse with a terrifying foundation to match. Lan Lianshuang was clearly at a disadvantage. If this continued, the one who would lose would surely be Lan Lianshuang.

This filled him with panic, and even the thought of seeking the Ghost Emperor vanished from his mind. After all, if Lan Lianshuang could not withstand the Demon Emperor, then even if he found the Ghost Emperor, he still would not be able to kill him as long as the Demon Emperor remained. Worse still, he might be killed by the Demon Emperor instead.

Regret could not help but rise in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he should have come to the Demon Realm fully prepared. Then at least he would not be so helpless now.

At that moment, a voice of laughter rang out.

Demon Emperor, don’t forget, I’m still here!

The voice was all too familiar. Jiang Xiaofei immediately looked over and saw Lin Ying appear beside Lan Lianshuang. With a single motion of his hand, boundless power surged out like a raging tide, directly resisting the demonic force.

With Lin Ying’s support, the demonic power was gradually pressed back, and the situation began to reverse.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofei finally let out a breath of relief. Now that the two of them were working together, they might not be able to defeat the Demon Emperor, but at the very least they had enough power to hold him in check. It seemed their side was not without hope after all.

Thinking this, Jiang Xiaofei no longer hesitated and flew straight toward the Blood River.

Trying to find the Ghost Emperor? Don’t even dream of it.

Noticing Jiang Xiaofei’s move, the Demon Emperor let out a sharp cry and slapped out with his palm. A blood seal immediately formed and shot toward Jiang Xiaofei.

As the blood seal came crashing down, Jiang Xiaofei frowned and was just about to defend himself when Lin Ying appeared beside him.

Lin Ying slammed out with his palm, instantly blasting the blood seal apart.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor roared in fury, “It’s you again, old fossil. You were grievously wounded and fled back then, and yet you still dare come here to court death?”

Hahaha. Lin Ying laughed instead of angering. “That battle from back then was indeed one in which I was outmatched. But this time, I came fully prepared. What can you do to me?”

Taking advantage of their exchange, Jiang Xiaofei directly darted into the Blood River.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofei disappear from sight, the Demon Emperor’s rage flared even higher. “You defeated opponent of mine! I let you escape by luck once before, but this time this Emperor will kill you for sure!”

“Heh.” Lin Ying gave a cold laugh. “Then let us see whether you have the ability.”

Then his tone shifted. “By the way, I nearly forgot to tell you: I am not at the late stage of the Dao Extreme Realm. I am at the peak.”

“You concealed your cultivation?” The Demon Emperor’s expression changed drastically.

Lan Lianshuang was equally shocked.

At the same time, Lin Ying’s aura surged violently, and he actually broke through to the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm.

Feeling Lin Ying’s aura, the Demon Emperor was first astonished, then he said darkly, “So what if you’ve broken through to the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm? I defeated you once, and I can defeat you a second time.”

“Heh.” Lin Ying smiled. “I think you may have forgotten that there are two of us.”

As he spoke, he turned to Lan Lianshuang. “Right, Miss Lan?”

Lan Lianshuang met his gaze and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor said through clenched teeth, “Good. Very good. Since you want to join forces against this Emperor, then this Emperor will play along and see who has the last laugh. Hahaha.”

Demon Dragon Spear!

As his voice fell, a long spear condensed instantly in his palm. Then, spear in hand, he charged toward Lan Lianshuang.

The spear thrust down.

In an instant, a thousand spear shadows appeared, raining down like arrows from the sky.

Facing such an assault, Lan Lianshuang moved the Ice Shuttle in her hand, and a vast force of frost surged forth to block it.

At the same time, Lin Ying also struck. With a sweep of his hand, a colossal palm formed and slammed toward the Demon Emperor.

The giant hand descended with terrifying pressure, seeming to overturn the void itself.

Yet in the face of Lin Ying’s attack, the Demon Emperor showed no fear at all. With a wave of his hand, a rainbow-bright surge of demonic power swept out and directly sent the giant hand flying.
