Chapter 337 Defeating the Demon
Chapter 337 Defeating the Demon
Mo Ming's eyes were gradually covered by a dark light, his pupils turning into scarlet vertical lines, and the dark red mark on his forehead became clearer, as if a ferocious eye had opened. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but it was no longer his original expression; instead, it was a cold and mocking smile.
"This body... it really makes me envious!" Li Yuan's deep voice came from Mo Ming's mouth, carrying an eerie aura that did not belong to humans.
“Mo Ming! You…” Song Yufei clutched her chest, struggling to stand up from the ground. Seeing Mo Ming’s change, her eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
She could sense that the Mo Ming before her was no longer the original Mo Ming, but was being controlled by some powerful and sinister being.
"Don't look at me like that, little girl." Li Yuan's gaze swept over Song Yufei, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery. "With your level of cultivation, you're not even qualified to see through me."
“Li Yuan…” Song Yufei whispered through gritted teeth. Although she did not know much about Li Yuan, she had already guessed the terror of this existence from Mo Ming’s previous words.
"Heh, it seems Mo Ming hasn't told you about me yet." Li Yuan sneered, then turned around and looked at the demon in the crack.
"How dare a mere piece of trash, sealed away for countless years, be arrogant in front of me?" Li Yuan's voice was deep and cold, carrying an air of domineering authority.
He slowly raised his hand, and Mo Ming's body moved accordingly. A jet-black sword aura condensed in his palm, radiating an aura of world-destroying power, as if it could tear apart the entire space.
The demon within the crack clearly sensed the threat. Its crimson eyes were fixed on Li Yuan as it growled, "What kind of evil being are you? How can you control the body of this ant?"
"An evil creature?" Li Yuan sneered, the sword energy in his hand becoming more solid, transforming into a jet-black longsword. "You are not even worthy to know my name. However, since you dared to struggle out of the seal, then I will send you back."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan suddenly swung his jet-black longsword, and a towering sword light, like a raging tide from the abyss, rushed straight into the crack!
"boom--!!!"
The sword light collided fiercely with the demon's power, unleashing a deafening roar. The entire space trembled violently from the impact, and the demon within the crack let out an angry roar as the black mist around its body was torn apart by the sword light, revealing a body as black as iron.
"Damn it! A mere sword dares to challenge me!" The demon roared, his hands suddenly waving, and endless black mist condensed again, transforming into two huge, pitch-black demonic claws, which fiercely grabbed at Li Yuan.
"Trash." Li Yuan sneered, and swung his black longsword again, severing the demon claws with two beams of sword light, which then went straight for the demon's body.
"Ah—!" The demon let out a shrill scream as its body was cleaved open by the sword light, its crimson eyes filled with rage and fear.
"Is that all you've got?" Li Yuan's voice was full of contempt. His figure flashed like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of the demon, his long sword pointing directly at the demon's head.
"Return to your seal," Li Yuan whispered, and his longsword suddenly slashed down!
"boom--!"
The pitch-black sword light pierced through the demon's head, and its massive body collapsed, turning into countless black mists that were sucked back into the crack.
However, just as the demon was about to be completely suppressed, its eyes suddenly erupted with a final frenzy.
"Though I have been defeated, my mark remains here! You ants will pay the price for my return!" The demon's voice echoed in the space like a curse before disappearing completely.
The crack slowly closed, and the surrounding black mist dissipated, restoring peace to the entire space.
Li Yuan stood rooted to the spot, the dark sword light gradually dissipating. He coldly watched the crack completely close, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Mo Ming's body trembled slightly, as if trying to break free of control, but Li Yuan quickly suppressed it.
"How boring." Li Yuan muttered to himself, then turned around and looked at Song Yufei, who was not far away.
Song Yufei struggled to stay upright, her long sword was cracked, and her breathing was disordered, clearly indicating that the previous battle had left her seriously injured.
She gritted her teeth, staring intently at Li Yuan, her eyes filled with both anger and a hint of helplessness.
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Song Yufei's voice was hoarse, but it carried an indomitable will.
Li Yuan sneered and slowly walked towards her, each step feeling like a blow to her heart, putting immense pressure on her. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he could see right through her.
"What am I doing?" Li Yuan repeated softly, his tone full of mockery. "Little girl, do you think I would explain my intentions to an ant?"
"Mo Ming is still inside, isn't he?" Song Yufei asked through gritted teeth, forcing herself to look directly into Li Yuan's eyes. "He won't let you do whatever you want!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's cold smile deepened. He stopped and looked down at his palm, as if sensing every inch of Mo Ming's power.
“He is indeed here,” Li Yuan said calmly, with a hint of mockery in his tone. “However, he has no power to stop me now. What can a mortal do, no matter how strong his will is? This body… from now on, belongs only to me.”
"Don't even think about it!" Song Yufei roared, forcibly summoning her spiritual power, and the broken longsword in her hand emitted a faint light once more. She knew she was no match for Li Yuan, but she absolutely could not stand by and watch Mo Ming be completely devoured.
"They're really tenacious." Li Yuan shook his head, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand, a wisp of dark energy gathering at his fingertips, and with a casual wave, the energy slashed towards Song Yufei like a sharp blade.
"boom--!"
Song Yufei's longsword shattered instantly, and her body was thrown back by the force, crashing heavily into a rock, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth.
She struggled to stand up, only to find that her spiritual power had been completely sealed, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult.
"Stop wasting your energy," Li Yuan said coldly, his voice carrying an undeniable pressure. "You're not even worth an ant now."
Song Yufei's eyes were filled with anger and resentment, but her body could no longer support her, and she could only watch helplessly as Li Yuan walked towards her step by step.
However, at that moment, Li Yuan suddenly stopped. His brows furrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
“Interesting…” Li Yuan murmured, then closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
A moment later, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"What a troublesome fellow," Li Yuan muttered to himself, a hint of coldness in his voice.
