In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 653 Fighting Two Demons (Part 1)

The giant's rise appeared slow, but in reality, it was only a matter of a breath.

Once he stood up straight, a mountain giant nearly a thousand feet tall stood between heaven and earth, holding a seal in one hand and carrying the other behind his back.

Compared to him, the Dark Lord and the Three Demons were as insignificant as ants.

Hundreds of miles away from Demon Wind Valley, many demonic cultivators who had already escaped were now terrified and pale as they looked at the giant mountain range that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth.

"Stone... Stone Demon?" The two-headed demon's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.

The ram-headed demon and the gray-faced old demon had their mouths wide open, as if they were being overwhelmed by the giant's aura and couldn't breathe.

Dark Lord's face was also deathly pale, but he knew there was no way out at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and point at the Heaven-Covering Seal that the mountain giant had raised.

The sun-obscuring demonic light at the bottom of the Heaven-Covering Seal blazed forth, slashing down towards the mountain giant.

Seeing this, the other three demons, also intending to restrain the enemy, quickly urged their magical weapons to attack from other directions.

"Humph!"

With a chilling snort that shook the heavens and earth, the mountain giant released a burst of gray-white stone energy. The moment the sun-obscuring demonic light touched the stone energy, it instantly turned into stones of varying lengths that rolled down.

As for the three demons' magical artifacts, they lost their mental connection with the demons after entering the stone energy, and no matter how much they urged them, they did not react in the slightest.

"This seal is nice, but it would be a waste for you to have it. I'll take it for now!"

The giant's mouth buzzed, and the stone energy on its body pushed upwards, instantly engulfing the Sky-Covering Seal.

"My Heaven-Covering Seal!"

Dark Lord immediately realized that his mind had been disconnected from the Heaven-Covering Seal, and was greatly alarmed.

But he realized that he was no match for the mountain giant. A resolute look flashed across his face, and he ignored the Heaven-Covering Seal and shot away as a beam of light.

The three demons were also terrified and fled in a flash, closely following the Dark Lord.

Upon seeing this, the mountain giant that Lu Yuan had transformed into simply stomped his foot, and the heavens and earth trembled.

The three demons, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of the Demonic Sect, immediately dispersed their escape light and fell to the ground one after another.

Before they could get up, a giant foot slammed down, and the three demons were trampled into a bloody pulp before they could even scream.

Relying on his profound cultivation, Dark Lord's escape light only paused slightly before shooting off again.

Just as it was about to disappear into the horizon, its escape light suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Within the blood mist, a Nascent Soul cultivator was momentarily stunned, just about to use teleportation to escape, when a flash of blood light appeared.

"That blood sword can lock onto a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

Dark Lord's nascent soul only had time to recall the words spoken by the ram-headed demon clan before it was annihilated into nothingness by the blood-red light.

At this moment, inside the Demon Wind Valley, the mountain giant slowly raised his hand and made a gesture.

Where Dark Lord died, the Blood Sword and Demon Spear flew over on their own and disappeared into the giant's hand.

"I dare to leave my things on my person!"

......

Several months later, when Lu Yuan had stabilized his cultivation and was passing through a mountain range after leaving the seclusion, his expression suddenly changed. With a flick of his sleeve, a blood-red sword flashed and appeared. He then swung it several times, slashing out several blood-red sword beams more than ten feet long behind him.

With a "poof," several balls of black demonic flame of the same size suddenly surged out from the void and collided solidly together.

An earth-shattering bang!

A blinding halo suddenly appeared, and Lu Yuan took the opportunity to scan it with his divine sense, his expression slightly hardening. But he quickly narrowed his eyes and regained his calm demeanor.

A short while later, the blinding halo subsided, and all fluctuations vanished, revealing two figures in the void.

One of them had a single, prominent horn growing from his forehead and held a bowl in one hand.

The other was about five or six zhang tall, with a bare upper body, a piece of unknown animal skin tied around its waist, and its body covered with yellowish-brown fur, like flames.

The Demon Lords were all beings in their initial stages.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Lu Yuan understood the cultivation levels of the two demons.

"This fellow Daoist is quite vicious. If the two of us are not careful, we will be cleaved into countless pieces by you!" The One-Horned Demon Lord sneered.

“But if I’m not careful, I don’t know how long you two will keep following me!” Lu Yuan replied calmly, his eyes revealing a sharp glint.

Upon hearing this, the One-Horned Demon Lord's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Hmph, it seems you had already sensed something. However, now that you have shown yourself, don't think you can leave so easily."

"Could you please tell me the reason, and your identities? I do not recall having any dealings with either of you, let alone offending you."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the two demons opposite him exchanged a glance, and it was the One-Horned Demon Lord who spoke: "We two are under the command of the Earthly Ancestor. You should understand now."

Under the command of the Holy Ancestor of the Underworld?

Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but his face remained impassive.

"Several months ago, Dark Lord, the city lord of Netherworld City, was killed in Demon Wind Valley by a newly advanced Venerable. We have searched for you several times within a radius of tens of millions of miles during this period, and only encountered you, a person with an unfamiliar face who is obviously a newly advanced Venerable. Do you have anything to say in your defense?" This time, it was the Demon Lord, whose body was covered with scorched yellow hair, who pressed him for an answer.

"So that's how it is, it was me!" Lu Yuan replied succinctly.

"Very well, since you've admitted it, then come with us." The One-Horned Demon Lord nodded, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

"Where are you going? What are you going to do?" Lu Yuan remained unmoved.

"Go and pay your respects to the Holy Ancestor of the Underworld. As for what happens, the Holy Ancestor will make his own judgment!" the scorched-yellow-haired Demon Lord sneered.

"A fair judgment? If Di Ming truly had a fair judgment, he should understand that his subordinates had only themselves to blame, not that they were causing trouble for me!" Lu Yuan retorted with a cold laugh.

"How dare you, you brat!"

"How dare you, who has only just advanced to the Venerable Realm, address the Holy Ancestor by his name and criticize him? You are truly ignorant of your own limitations!" The One-Horned Demon Lord roared, and with a sudden swing of his alms bowl, a surge of black demonic energy swept towards Lu Yuan like a raging wave.

The demon lord with the scorched yellow hair was not to be outdone; his figure flickered and vanished in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but he couldn't find the figure around him.

This demon's invisibility technique is extraordinary!

Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong and without hesitation, he made a hand seal with one hand. A burst of demonic light flowed across his body, from which a giant shield emerged to block in front of him. Then, he slashed out a large number of blood-red sword shadows in the surrounding void with his blood sword.

boom!

The black demonic energy of the unicorn demons clashed with the giant shield first, producing a deafening sound. The surface of the giant shield shimmered with light, blocking most of the demonic energy.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan focused his attention elsewhere to prevent another missing Demon Lord from launching a sneak attack.

Just then, the scorched-yellow-haired demon lord suddenly appeared directly in front of Lu Yuan. Although there was a giant shield blocking the way, he directly stretched out his hairy giant hand and slammed it down on the shield.
