While Wang Xuanyi was suppressing Lin Ang and the other seven demonic cultivators, Mo Yan and the Patriarch of the Li family were also locked in a life-and-death struggle with two other demonic cultivators, and everyone was wounded.
None of the four could gain the upper hand in the short term.
The two Void Return Realm demonic cultivators were covered in blood. Unlike the blood of ordinary people, theirs had been dyed pitch-black from years of absorbing demonic qi and the flesh, blood, and essence of the human race.
“Malevolent Demon Halberd!”
The demonic cultivator wielding the black halberd struck again. Holding the halberd over his shoulders with both hands, his hair whipped wildly in the wind. Lightning crackled around the shaft, demonic qi surged, and the power of laws poured down as he slashed hard toward the Patriarch of the Li family.
Boom!
The Patriarch of the Li family held his sword with both hands, struggling to resist the strike. His face flushed slightly. As the blade of the halberd neared his shoulder, the law of lightning, mixed with demonic qi, surged forward to corrode him.
“Ah!”
The Patriarch of the Li family swung his sword with all his might, pushing the strike back, and panted heavily.
The demonic cultivator with the black halberd was in no better shape, looking just as exhausted as the Patriarch of the Li family.
It was the same for Mo Yan and the zither-playing demonic cultivator.
Having fought to this point, the magic power of all four was nearly depleted. The flesh and blood of mortals and low-realm cultivators could no longer satisfy the two demonic cultivators.
Meanwhile, on Wang Xuanyi's side...
As he blasted Han Xinyan to pieces and ripped Lin Lulu apart on the spot, Lin Ang and the seven Soul Formation Realm demonic cultivators attacked Wang Xuanyi simultaneously.
“Heavenly Martial Sword Art!”
Lin Ang swung his sword, stabbing straight at Wang Xuanyi's neck. Spiritual qi and demonic qi intertwined around the blade. Blood vessels stood out in his eyes, his face completely twisted in rage.
But he couldn't be blamed. The flesh and blood on the battlefield were growing scarce. His wife and daughter needed a massive amount of essence, energy, and spirit to reconstruct their bodies, and the available flesh and blood were no longer enough. Furthermore, Wang Xuanyi had blasted Han Xinyan to pieces time and time again. How could he, as her husband, endure this?
“Dao Destruction Fist!”
Wang Xuanyi's entire body shone like brilliant jade as he charged right into Lin Ang's sword qi. With a loud bang, the two met eye-to-eye, both of their faces twisted in ferocity.
Neither of them backed down.
“Go!”
Seeing an opening, the other six Soul Formation Realm demonic cultivators lunged from different directions.
“Netherworld Ghost Claw!”
A pitch-black skeletal hand clawed forward, shrouded in demonic qi, carrying an extremely ominous aura.
“Black Heaven Handprint!”
A handprint made of demonic qi crashed down from above Wang Xuanyi's head. Interwoven with the laws of the Great Dao and crackling with dark purple lightning, its power was not to be underestimated.
From other directions came the demonic sounds of bone chimes, ferocious ancient beasts manifested from demonic qi, and a massive Law Manifestation holding a black sword with a mouth full of fangs... For a moment, forbidden secret techniques rained down from all sides.
“Junior Brother, stop being so stubborn. Even the demonic path has loyalty and affection.”
Even at a time like this, Lin Ang was still trying to persuade him, but his ferocious expression made his words sound like a dark joke.
“Dumbass, I'm going to send you all to hell today to be a close-knit family!”
Wang Xuanyi's face was ferocious; he looked more like a demonic cultivator than they did.
“Netherworld Communion!”
Wang Xuanyi bellowed. A bloody tear rolled down from the corner of his eye as his heterochromatic eyes emerged. Within his pupils, a crimson flower pattern was engraved, and chaos qi swirled inside.
Seeing those eyes, Lin Ang knew things were bad. Han Xinyan had just suffered a setback from that pupil technique, and he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
Lin Ang pushed Wang Xuanyi away with all his might, retreating dozens of steps himself before charging forward again with his sword to fill the gap in the siege.
Wang Xuanyi's entire body gleamed, enveloped in a continuous glow. The Dao palace inside his body rumbled, providing him with a constant stream of power. Dozens of tiny golden figures sat cross-legged around him, chanting the sounds of the Great Dao.
“All of you, get the fuck away from me!”
A golden lotus bloomed above his head as his Aspect of the Self opened its eyes. Countless strands of the power of laws gushed out, forming a river of stars that instantly exploded.
Rumble!
A terrifying aura filled the battlefield, shattering the incoming attacks and halting their advance.
Wang Xuanyi did not dare to hesitate. He swung his fist, aiming directly at the weakest one, Lin Lulu.
He had only just stepped into the Dao-Transforming Realm and had not yet condensed his Primordial Spirit. His actual combat power was only comparable to the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm, making him no match for this pack of beasts.
And of everyone present, only Lin Lulu, who had just absorbed flesh and blood, had not yet fully recovered, her black soul still healing the wounds on her body.
Seeing this, Wang Xuanyi lunged in front of her. Wrapping the power of the Great Dao around his fist, he used pure, raw violence to shatter Lin Lulu's newly formed body.
“No!”
Lin Ang roared in grief and rage. A massive Law Manifestation materialized behind him, holding a great sword as it slashed down at Wang Xuanyi with a twisted expression.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
Wang Xuanyi reached out with one hand, laws swirling in his palm as he captured Lin Lulu's soul. Looking coldly at the incoming Lin Ang, he said in a chilling voice, “Take one more step, and I'll crush this little beast's soul!”
Clang!
The blade stopped a mere arm's length away from Wang Xuanyi. Lin Ang withdrew his mana, staring coldly at Wang Xuanyi. “Take my life, but let my daughter go.”
Boom!
Without a word, Wang Xuanyi threw a fist at Lin Ang, shattering his protective demonic qi and blasting a bloody hole through his body.
“Father!”
Lin Lulu's face was filled with anxiety. She spat venomously, “You're not human! My father kindly tried to persuade the three of you, master and disciples, to save your lives, yet you're so ungrateful!”
Wang Xuanyi glanced at her coldly. He then blasted Han Xinyan's reconstructing head to pieces once more, stripping her soul from it and binding it by his side.
“You damned madman! My husband and I kindly tried to persuade—”
Slap!
Slapping Han Xinyan across the face, Wang Xuanyi said coldly, “Shut up.”
“Wang! Xuan! Yi!!!”
Lin Ang's body absorbed the surrounding flesh and blood, healing the bloody cavity in his chest, but the laws of the Great Dao left inside him were still tearing his flesh apart.
Seeing this, the six Soul Formation Realm demonic cultivators did not dare to make another move.
On Demon Island, Lin Ang was notoriously protective of his family. Through his utterly inhumane cultivation, he had consumed millions of living beings in just thirty years to reach the peak of the Soul Formation Realm.
Among the eight of them, Lin Ang had the highest cultivation and the most crazed personality.
“Spare my wife and daughter, and I will let you...”
“Kill them, and I'll release your wife and daughter,” Wang Xuanyi interrupted directly.
What a joke. Did he really think he was stupid?
There were still seven Soul Formation Realm demonic cultivators and two Void Return Realm demonic cultivators present. How could they possibly escape? Even if they did, where could they go?
Once a Dao-Absolute Sovereign Weapon was unleashed, this entire region would be annihilated.
“Husband, do it. We don't care.”
“Father, Mother and I aren't afraid of death.”
The two souls spoke with determination, but this was exactly what Wang Xuanyi wanted.
“No, without you, there is no point in me living. I will definitely save you. Wait for me,” Lin Ang cried, his tone suddenly becoming resolute.
Then, Lin Ang questioned Wang Xuanyi, “Junior Brother, is this what you call a righteous cultivator? Even we of the demonic path wouldn't resort to such underhanded tricks.”
Wang Xuanyi said nothing. A silver-white flame flickered in his palm, and he placed Lin Lulu's soul directly over it to roast, causing her to let out an agonizing shriek as if ten thousand fires were scorching her heart.
“Ah!!!”
“Just kill me!”
“Daughter! I'll do it! I'll do it!”
Seeing that Wang Xuanyi had actually done it, Lin Ang completely panicked.
His junior brother had changed too much from before.
He used to be so lively and adorable, following behind him and calling him “Senior Brother” with every breath.
Now, he was like a madman.
A madman even more sinister than a demonic cultivator!
