Endless sword energy surged, and Shangguan Xi'er was completely enveloped by it. The astonishing explosion and the terrifying pressure released made everyone imagine that if they were under such an attack, they would either be dead or severely injured.
How could this boy be so strong? The crowd looked at Qin Chen with disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
“Is it successful?” Qin Chen stared at the roaring sword energy, his heart sinking with a sense of inexplicable unease because the Qing Ling Realm that Shangguan Xi'er unleashed had not dissipated at this moment.
“Qin Chen, be careful!”
At this moment, Lao Yuan's anxious voice suddenly rose, and at the same time, all the hair on Qin Chen's body stood on end, as if he were being stared at by an ancient giant beast.
“Not good!”
As the thought fell in his heart, the sword energy ahead exploded with a loud bang, endless sword energy surged and blasted into the sky, and from that explosion, a cold and fierce voice shot out, slapping towards Qin Chen.
“Retreat!” Qin Chen's figure violently retreated, and he swung his sword in response. Boom! Amidst the deafening sound, Qin Chen was thrown backward, a terrifying force surged into his body, causing his internal organs to suddenly tear apart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Additionally, a cold and sinister force of Law crashed into his body, wreaking havoc.
“Is it the power of the Demon Tribe's rules?”
Qin Chen was shocked. This was actually the power of the Demon Tribe, and it was far more terrifying than any Demon Tribe expert Qin Chen had seen before, even more so than the soul masters of Piao Miao Palace. Could it be that Shangguan Xi'er had been possessed by the Demon Tribe?
Qin Chen was furious and anxious. This power was rampaging in his body, trying to tear apart his flesh. Qin Chen hurriedly mobilized his true essence to resist it. Fortunately, he understood the power of the Demon Tribe’s rules very well, and combined with Lao Yuan's source power, he managed to extinguish that Demon Tribe power. However, his physical body was still severely damaged, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his breath waning.
Qin Chen quickly looked up and saw Shangguan Xi'er surrounded by strands of demonic energy. Her pale face, highlighted by the demonic energy, made her look more sinister and terrifying than ever before.
“Kid, you’ve hurt me.” Shangguan Xi'er coldly stared at Qin Chen, a trace of blood hanging at the corner of her mouth. She was injured; it was the first time she had spat blood under Qin Chen's earlier attack, and the killing intent emanating from her was unprecedentedly strong, almost tangible.
The crowd inhaled sharply, looking at Shangguan Xi'er with fear in their eyes.
Such a terrifying attack had not killed Shangguan Xi'er; it had merely made her spit blood. This sense of helplessness deeply filled everyone's minds, giving rise to despair. Especially at this moment, Shangguan Xi'er, surrounded by demonic energy, appeared even more terrifying than before, her blood-black demonic energy giving everyone a strong sense of intimidation.
“Xi'er, she…” No one saw it, but the head of the Illusory Demon Sect clenched his hands tightly, an incredibly complex expression in his eyes.
“She hasn’t been possessed, but has cultivated the Demon Tribe’s Law and demonic power!” Lao Yuan's voice rang in Qin Chen's mind, filled with gravity.
“Cultivated the power of Law and demonic power? How is that possible?” Qin Chen was taken aback. He had devoured Lao Yuan's blood soul crystal, obtained the inheritance of Gu Nandu and the golden parasitic seed, yet had not fully cultivated the demonic power of the Demon Tribe. How could Shangguan Xi'er achieve this?
Moreover, in the Tianwu Continent, the rules of the Demon Tribe would be restricted, making it almost impossible to comprehend. It would have been fine if Shangguan Xi'er simply hunted it, but the aura of demonic power on her now had reached a completely new height, leaving Qin Chen unable to comprehend it.
