“You, nonsense... This Awakening Demon Formation was clearly set up by us!”
Shang Wuji and the other four said in panic, their faces pale, desperately explaining.
“Since that's the case, why don't you all refine this Awakening Demon Formation again?” The skeleton captain sneered as he looked at the group. Shang Wuji and the others were dumbfounded. How could they refine it again? This restriction formation could be set up only by their leader; none of them had the capability to do so. While they could use the Demon Qi in their bodies to activate it, that was not a problem. But to have them refine it again was simply impossible.
“Die!” Mokala stared intensely at Shang Wuji and the others, completely losing patience. A terrifying soul impact burst out from his eyes, instantly entering the bodies of Shang Wuji and the other four. They trembled violently, their eyes turning dazed, but they did not perish instantly.
The skeleton captain and Qin Chen exchanged glances, their eyes flashing. Based on Mokala's aura, under normal circumstances, it should have been effortless for him to extinguish the souls of Shang Wuji and the others. Yet, in fact, even after Mokala's strike, Shang Wuji and the others, though dazed, did not fall.
Though this was partly due to the strength of their souls, it also indicated that Mokala had just awakened, and his strength was not as terrifying as Qin Chen and the others had imagined.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen and the skeleton captain silently exchanged a glance, a sharp glint flickering in their eyes. As Mokala threw Shang Wuji and the others' souls into chaos, he quickly extended his right hand, with pitch-black claws erupting forth like sharp blades, instantly capturing Shang Wuji and the two black-clad men in his grasp. With a fierce squeeze, the three of them exploded into a shower of blood, falling into soul oblivion without even realizing how they had perished.
After killing Shang Wuji and the other three, Mokala took a deep breath, and a large amount of essence blood was instantly absorbed into his body. His decayed form was enveloped in strands of blood energy, and his life force gradually strengthened, receiving some nourishment.
“The remaining two will be taken care of by me.”
The skeleton captain cackled and, without waiting for Mokala to speak, transformed into a cloud of black mist, enveloping Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui. With two muffled cries, both exploded, being absorbed into the skeleton captain's body.
Gurgle!
The demonic energy swirling around the skeleton captain became denser and more refined, and his strength visibly increased. His eerie eyes glowed with a bloody light, appearing even more sinister and evil compared to Mokala.
Ji Ruyue and Chen Sisi gasped in shock; it was their first time seeing the true form of the skeleton captain, and their hearts filled with dread.
If it weren’t for their trust in Qin Chen and their understanding of the situation, they might have genuinely believed Qin Chen had colluded with the Demon Tribe. Even so, they remained extremely wary of the skeleton captain's origins.
Qin Chen sighed slightly. The reason he hadn’t killed Shang Wuji and the others immediately was to gather information about Piao Miao Palace and the black-clad enforcers from them. He even had thoughts of enslaving Shang Wuji, but unexpectedly, the situation had turned out like this.
In the current circumstances, Shang Wuji and the others were no longer a concern; instead, Mokala had become a significant problem.
At the very least, Qin Chen had a premonition that with his current strength, it would be nearly impossible to kill Mokala unless he activated the mysterious rusted sword again and fought desperately with the Demon Suppressing Cauldron. But under those circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to control his own life or death, let alone protect Ji Ruyue and the others. At that point, given Ji Ruyue and the others' strength, they would likely fall here.
This was something Qin Chen was unwilling to see.
