Chapter 246 The Demon Lord Must Die
High-level cultivators can ignore the barrier's obstruction and quietly enter it, but Xie Wan Ning's cultivation level is not high enough to enter the barrier.
To enter the Demon Palace, one must break the barrier. However, this will alert the demons inside.
"It's alright, you guys go in first." Xie Wanning waved her hand helplessly and said worriedly, "Be careful."
"it is good."
All the other shadowy figures entered the Demon Palace, while Xie Wanning wandered around outside alone.
Neither teleportation artifacts nor talismans would alert the demons within the Demon Palace, and Xie Wanning dared not take that risk.
How do we enter the Demon Palace?
Before Xie Wanning could think of a solution, she suddenly felt a chilling killing intent behind her. She dodged to the side, and a golden sword blade struck the barrier in an instant.
"Song Huai'an!"
Xie Wanning exclaimed in surprise, realizing in a panic that the demons must have sensed the barrier being broken.
"what are you doing?"
Song Huai'an simply looked coldly at Xie Wanning and asked, "Have they all gone inside?"
"How did you know?" Xie Wanning asked in shock, her body trembling.
Song Huai'an didn't speak. He swung his sword, and a huge sword appeared in the air, heading straight for the barrier.
Xie Wanning quickly retreated to a safe place, looking helplessly at everything in front of her.
Countless demon soldiers flew out of the demon palace.
Song Huai'an swung his sword, slaying the demons who approached him, and focused on controlling the giant sword, preparing to break through the barrier.
"Ice crack!"
Xie Wanning swung her sword, helping Song Huai'an break the barrier.
Since Song Huai'an returned to Qingyun Sect from Haolan Kingdom, he has become taciturn. When he sees anyone, his eyes are as empty as a deep pool, bottomless in the darkness, without a trace of light. He seems to be nothing but a body, only knowing how to cultivate day and night.
Occasionally, a flash of crimson light would flicker in his eyes, but it would vanish in an instant. Song Huai'an stopped initiating conversations, becoming extremely dull and even somewhat timid. He had shut himself off, and his inner self was already shattered; this was the only impression he gave others.
However, this time, his eyes were filled with hatred, and his sword-wielding movements became even more ferocious.
As soon as the barrier shattered, Song Huai'an rushed into the Demon Palace like an arrow released from a bow.
Xie Wanning followed them inside and arrived at the core of the Demon Palace with Song Huai'an.
In the Demon Palace.
Ji Yun and the others are locked in a stalemate with Helian Yu. They are all seriously injured, but they remain unyielding.
The moment Xie Wanning saw Helian Yu, she trembled involuntarily. It was a fear that came from the depths of her soul. She would never forget how much suffering she had endured at Helian Yu's hands in her past life, the pain that drove her to the brink of madness. It was a nightmare she would never forget.
Helian Yu was her nightmare.
Suddenly, a golden sword blade slashed towards Helian Yu.
Helian Yu raised his hand and caught the sword blade, but took a few steps back.
"Interesting, Azure Cloud Sword Technique? You're that old fellow Yan Ze's disciple." Helian Yu chuckled, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light.
Song Huai'an remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the phantom sword circled around him, quickly transforming into hundreds of sword blades that flew towards Helian Yu.
"too slow!"
Helian Yu transformed into a cloud of black mist, and the sword blade pierced through it, yet Helian Yu remained unharmed.
With a light tap of his toes, Song Huai'an rushed towards Helian Yu like a white lightning bolt. The Golden Sky Sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc, its sharp momentum and overwhelming force aimed directly at Helian Yu's throat.
Helian Yu snorted coldly, calmly swinging his demonic sword, the blade held horizontally, steadily blocking the fierce attack. A loud clang rang out, like the tolling of a great bell, the shockwave from the powerful collision shattering the walls of the demonic palace.
The two separated instantly. Song Huai'an flipped in mid-air, quickly adjusting his posture, and then unleashed a set of exquisite swordsmanship. His sword flashed, each strike imbued with powerful immortal energy; thrusts, parries, and slashes flowed like water, dazzling the eye. Helian Yu, however, remained fearless, wielding his demonic sword with ferocious force, deflecting Song Huai'an's attacks one by one.
The blades clashed repeatedly, sparks flying everywhere. Each collision was accompanied by a tremor in space, as if the entire world could not withstand this powerful force.
Helian Yu seized an opening and suddenly unleashed his power, the demonic sword stabbing towards Song Huai'an with the speed of a black dragon. Song Huai'an couldn't dodge in time and could only barely defend with the Golden Sky Sword. The power of the demonic sword was too great, and Song Huai'an was forced back by the force, leaving deep footprints in the ground beneath his feet.
"Hmph, is that all you've got? You dare challenge me?" Helian Yu sneered, launching an even fiercer attack. His figure flickered like a ghost, his demonic sword billowing with demonic energy, attacking Song Huai'an from every angle.
Knowing Helian Yu's formidable strength, Song Huai'an dared not be careless in the slightest. He concentrated his mind, mobilizing all his spiritual power to form a transparent spiritual energy shield around himself. The demonic sword struck the shield repeatedly, producing dull thuds, and the shield trembled under the powerful impact, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Just as the two were at an impasse.
"puff!"
Blood suddenly gushed out, and a glint of gold flashed in Song Huai'an's eyes.
"Crack! Click!"
Song Huai'an knelt on the ground, struggling to support himself with the Golden Cloud Sword, but the bones in his body were shattering. It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his internal organs. Intense burning pain spread rapidly from his abdomen throughout his body, as if countless scalding steel needles were piercing his internal organs.
"Song Huai'an, do not disobey me." A majestic voice echoed in Song Huai'an's mind, making him feel as if his soul was being torn apart.
"No!" Song Huai'an gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words, the gold in his eyes dimming.
In these three years, he witnessed Qingyun Sect disciples rushing into the demon army one after another, leaving no trace of their bodies; he watched Haolan Kingdom go from prosperity to war, with its people displaced and living in misery.
He is a direct disciple of the Qingyun Sect and the monarch of the Haolan Kingdom. He has an obligation to protect his junior brothers and sisters and his thousands of people.
Therefore, the Demon Lord must die!
The shield shattered, and the demonic sword slashed towards Song Huai'an.
Suddenly, the talismans and magical artifacts flew towards Helian Yu, while the Luo Ze sword blocked the demonic sword.
Xie Wanning stood in front of Song Huai'an, struggling to block Helian Yu's attack. Ji Yun and the other members of the Black Shadow Pavilion stood up and, despite their serious injuries, rushed towards Helian Yu.
At this moment, for the sake of the cultivation world, they are on the same side.
The Demon Lord must die.
"Those petty scoundrels are nothing more than struggling before their death."
Helian Yu revealed a cruel smile. He swung the demonic sword with all his might and threw Xie Wanning away with one strike. Ji Yun and the others were affected by the demonic energy and crashed into the wall, falling to the ground in pain.
Xie Wanning struggled to get up, but Helian Yu walked towards her.
"You must be the chosen one, Xie something. Never mind, you stay here for now, I'll come back and deal with you later." With that, Helian Yu plunged the demonic sword into Xie Wanning's body, pinning her to the spot.
Xie Wanning struggled to get up. She looked at the communication bracelet in her hand, then threw it to the ground, shattering it.
You absolutely have to get here!
Helian Yu walked up to Song Huai'an, stepped on him, and mocked, "Is this all the strength Yan Ze's disciple has? I'm truly disappointed. But since you have the guts to disobey His orders, I'll personally send you on your way!"
Song Huai'an looked up, a flash of hatred in his eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Demon Lord, let's die together!"
Helian Yu's expression changed, and he took a step back in fear.
"Crack!"
However, it was too late. With a cracking sound, a huge amount of spiritual power erupted from Song Huai'an's body.
He's self-destructing his golden core!
Xie Wanning saw that Song Huai'an glanced at her and said something.
The lip movements were saying, "Sorry."
However, amidst a tremendous roar, the entire Demon Palace was destroyed.
Protected by her protective magic artifact, Xie Wanning opened her eyes again to find herself in ruins, with flames raging within them.
Amidst the ruins, one person stood up.
