Chu Yang dashed out like a whirlwind, his entire body's strength finally dissipating, leaving him with no power even to look back. His body fell to the ground with a loud thud, unmoving. It wasn’t that Chu Yang didn’t want to move; he truly had no strength left, unable to budge an inch.
Tan Tan finally flew over and stood in front of Chu Yang, still spitting blood. If the heavenly demons dared to come forward at this moment, Tan Tan would certainly not hesitate to risk everything, dragging the heavenly demons down with him to die.
The injuries of the heavenly demons were severe, exceptionally severe.
Even a peak supreme of the ninth rank would have no chance of survival after sustaining such heavy injuries—half of their body completely shattered, while the remaining half was almost turned into a sieve by Chu Yang’s sword aura.
One hand was completely gone, and the other was still enduring the relentless burning of the nirvana fire.
Such injuries to the heavenly demons could hardly be described as severe; with such wounds, out of ten thousand, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine would die.
Yet the heavenly demons remained just that: heavenly demons. They were the one in a million or perhaps because they were not human, but demons.
First, they fought against the seven supremes, defeating each one, then battled the Three Star Holy King, completely gaining the upper hand; they then exchanged blows with the nine calamity sword master. Although they suffered a great loss after a single exchange, they still rendered the nine calamity sword master unable to move, and a single blow nearly scattered the Sword Spirit!
Such cultivation was absolutely unmatched in the Nine Heavens!
With such injuries, perhaps anyone else would have died many times over, but the heavenly demons were still alive and kicking. Well, the ‘alive and kicking’ now involved a considerable amount of pain, as it hurt immensely, and the pain was constant and unyielding.
The nirvana fire blazed fiercely on their hand, and the heavenly demons' agony pierced through to their very soul!
They roared in madness, utilizing their Demonic Energy, expending all their cultivation level, sparing no effort, yet they could not extinguish the Phoenix clan’s innate flame.
The heavenly demons were utterly grief-stricken.
However, demons remained demons; they barely withstood the pain and conjured a knife using their Demonic Energy. With a swift motion, they severed their own right hand, cleanly cutting it off at the forearm, which then thumped onto the ground and bounced a couple of times.
A snake biting its own hand, a warrior breaking his wrist; it's essentially the same principle, but this time the heavenly demons' situation was even more helpless and tragic…
Because they didn’t even have a hand to hold the knife anymore.
The nirvana fire continued to burn slowly, indicating that it wouldn’t stop until that section of the arm was completely incinerated.
The heavenly demons howled, their voice nearing hoarse from fury. Despite being a heavenly demon, such injuries were indeed too severe.
Now both hands were gone, one shoulder was also missing; half of the body was shattered, and the remaining half was riddled with holes… The heavenly demons’ injuries now were far more serious than when they had been captured and had ninety-nine percent of their cultivation forcibly stripped away!
The worst part was that the power they had forcibly summoned was now completely exhausted, leaving them unable to continue. They were essentially running on fumes.
At this moment, the only thought in the heavenly demons' mind was to escape and save their life because, after all, surviving meant a future.
They strained to channel the remaining bits of Demonic Energy, enveloping the remains of their shattered body, trying to recover their injuries as much as possible. Although the effect was minimal, it was still better than nothing.
With loathing, they glanced at Tan Tan, and through gritted teeth, the heavenly demons howled, “Kid, I will claim your demon body sooner or later! Ahhhh~~~ It hurts so much… Damn it, damn it…”
