Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

It wasn’t just Ye Rou. A sense of mortal peril gripped Qianling, Yang Qing’er, and Qiu Mo as well.

"Damn it! This is the Shadow Demonic Fox’s concealment ability. It can hide in the void and kill without a trace." Jian Bufan’s expression changed the moment he saw the Shadow Demonic Fox vanish, and he shouted a warning.

’A concealment ability?’

’Isn’t that just like Shadow Kill?’

A thought sparked in Ye Wushuang’s mind. He hurriedly activated his Tai Chi Pattern, and a strange power flowed into his eyes. His pupils flickered with twin beams of black and red light.

This was an ability granted by the Tai Chi Pattern, allowing him to detect any invisible object within a five-hundred-meter radius!

As he deployed this miraculous power and scanned the area, Ye Wushuang spotted a massive, shadowy beast hurtling through the air straight toward Ye Rou and the others.

Its three giant tails danced like coiling serpents, sinuous and unpredictable. They plunged down from the left, right, and directly above Ye Rou’s group, aiming to crush all four of them at once.

"Get back!"

Ye Wushuang’s expression changed drastically. He activated Floating Light and Shadow and charged toward the Shadow Demonic Fox, his Dragon Blood Battle Saber slashing forward.

Jian Bufan was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on him: Ye Wushuang could see invisible things. He didn’t hesitate. His Flying Snow Sword shot forward, instantly multiplying into dozens of sword phantoms in the void before rapidly merging back into the blade in his hand as he slashed at the Shadow Demonic Fox.

With each phantom that merged, the Flying Snow Sword’s power grew more terrifying, its Sword Dao Killing Power multiplying with every fusion.

This was Jian Bufan’s ultimate Sword Dao technique: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!

The sword split into a myriad of blades, absorbed Void Power, condensed Sword Intent, and then rapidly merged back into the original weapon, granting it the power of ten thousand swords. It was a terrifying sight to behold!

Although he was still far from achieving a true Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, the fusion of his Sword Intent had already made the Flying Snow Sword unbelievably formidable. The space in its path shattered like a mirror.

Heeding Ye Wushuang’s warning, Ye Rou and the other three retreated while simultaneously attacking the empty space around them.

The Shadow Demonic Fox was stunned by this turn of events. It never expected its most prideful ability to be so easily countered by Ye Wushuang.

It watched the two men attack from behind. With a flick of its tails to the left and right, it blocked both of their attacks. At the same time, its third tail, like a celestial pillar carrying a terrifying storm of energy, smashed down from the sky toward Ye Rou and her companions.

BOOM!

Three massive explosions rang out. Two of the tails had blocked the attacks from Ye Wushuang and Jian Bufan.

The third tail crashed down beside Ye Rou and the others, sending Ye Rou, Yang Qing’er, Qiu Mo, and Qianling flying. The terrifying energy slammed into them.

Even with their defenses raised, the impact was so great that they coughed up blood and were thrown to the ground.

"Ignorant fools! My main body has recovered to a True Essence Sixth Layer Cultivation! You’re nothing but a few Qi Vortex Realm whelps. Killing you is as easy as crushing ants. Die!"

The Shadow Demonic Fox’s three tails danced across the Firmament, creating overlapping phantoms that filled the sky. They then rained down on the four in the canyon, a world-ending barrage that seemed intent on annihilating them in a single strike.

"Look out above!"

Ye Wushuang roared, his eyes turning crimson. He went berserk, erupting with terrifying torrents of Dragon-Shaped Qi as he charged the Shadow Demonic Fox. He unleashed a sky-rending strike, his massive, blood-red blade descending like the heavens itself upon the demon.

"Get over here, now!" Ye Rou shouted anxiously, wiping the blood from her lips. She activated the Grand Emperor’s Bow of Destruction, aiming it in the direction Ye Wushuang had pointed out.

Hearing her, the others immediately scrambled to her side and poured their power into her. A jet-black arrow began to form, madly devouring the Essence Qi from the surroundings.

BOOM!

In the next instant, the arrow shot from the bowstring, transforming into a pillar of light. It obliterated all the phantoms before crashing into the real tail, knocking it back in a flash.

At the same time, a vast shockwave rolled down from the sky and slammed into them. Their bodies shuddered violently, and they coughed up another spray of blood.

’Die!’

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang was overcome with fury. He infused ten percent of his Invincible Saber Intent into the Dragon Blood Battle Saber and, wreathed in frenzied Dragon Spirit True Qi, slashed down on one of the giant tails.

BOOM!

The giant tail was instantly severed!

The Shadow Demonic Fox let out a bizarre shriek of pain. It rapidly pulled back its two remaining tails and whipped them at Ye Wushuang from both sides.

"Damned ant! You’ve ruined my life’s work! I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!" the Shadow Demonic Fox roared in a fury, its face contorted with malice.

It had started as a mere one-tailed clone of the Shadow Demon King. Growing to three tails had taken it decades, even a century, of painstaking effort. And now, Ye Wushuang had lopped one off, destroying decades of its work.

"Die, die, die, die!"

Each word spat from its mouth was laced with an overwhelming killing intent.

Its two tails lashed out at incredible speed. The terrifying energy struck Ye Wushuang, and even with the protection of his Dragon-Shaped Qi, he was sent flying several meters.

Slash!

On the other side, Jian Bufan’s Flying Snow Sword, empowered by Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, tore through the void and seized the opportunity to slash down on another tail, instantly severing it.

"Aaargh!"

The Shadow Demonic Fox let out a pained shriek as another tail was severed. "Impossible! I can’t die here! You are all my nourishment! All of you, just die!"

Its last remaining tail whipped around behind Jian Bufan and sent him flying with a thunderous crack.

BOOM!

In that instant, the Shadow Demonic Fox’s massive body charged in front of Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang had just raised his Dragon Blood Battle Saber when he saw the Shadow Demonic Fox’s body rapidly shrink, transforming into a streak of light that shot toward him.

Seeing this, Jian Bufan’s expression changed drastically. "Ye Wushuang, don’t let it get inside you!" he yelled. "It’s trying to possess your body!"

But before the words had even left Jian Bufan’s mouth, the Shadow Demonic Fox had already drilled into Ye Wushuang’s Dantian.

Instantly, Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed.

"Xiaoshuang!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Brother Ye!"

A series of anxious, worried cries came from the others as they scrambled to their feet and rushed toward Ye Wushuang.

"Don’t go near him!"

Jian Bufan immediately stopped them.

BOOM!

The Shadow Demonic Fox’s essence plunged into Ye Wushuang’s Dantian. With two tails severed, its power had been drastically reduced. If it didn’t possess a new body, it would surely be killed by their combined efforts today.

However, as soon as it entered Ye Wushuang’s Dantian, it sensed that something was wrong.

It saw them in an instant: eighty-one golden vortexes lay in the depths of the Dantian, like a brilliant, starry sky!

For a moment, the Shadow Demonic Fox was completely dumbfounded, gulping audibly.

’Eighty-one Qi Vortexes!’

Its entire worldview was shattered in an instant. ’Someone can actually have eighty-one Qi Vortexes? How is that possible? Not even a heaven-defying prodigy could do that! What the hell kind of Demon Fiend is this?!’

"A body of eternal wonder! It’s mine! This body is mine! I have to take it back to my true form! Hahaha!"

The Shadow Demonic Fox was plunged into a state of extreme excitement. It was as if it had discovered a Supreme Divine Object—no, even finding a Supreme Divine Object wouldn’t have made it this ecstatic!

"Have you celebrated enough?"

A figure formed of Divine Sense suddenly appeared behind the Shadow Demonic Fox.

The Shadow Demonic Fox whirled around. Who else could it be but Ye Wushuang?

Ye Wushuang watched it calmly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Don’t you smile, boy. In a moment, I will erase your soul, occupy this body of eternal wonder, and use it to pave the way for my true form’s domination of the world."

The Shadow Demonic Fox was beside itself with excitement. It knew better than anyone what having so many Qi Vortexes represented.

Ye Wushuang’s lip twitched. "We’ll see who’s paving the way for whom. You’re celebrating far too soon."
