My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 225 The Moment of Slaying Demons

"Sssah!"

A creature emerging from the ground in the distance let out a piercing howl, sounding almost like a human with a deep, resonant voice!

Its remaining crimson tongue swiftly retracted, and Zhe Liang also broke free in response.

Ignoring his wounds, he glanced back, seemingly afraid that the cunning foe might still be feigning injury, risking danger for his comrades.

However,

Zhongren and Gu Xiaoqi rushed up simultaneously, each grabbing one of his arms and pulling him back to their hiding spot.

The trio gazed out at the open space ahead.

"Roar!"

A thunderous roar resounded.

A monstrous figure standing in the distance, towering thousands of feet tall, shook its ferocious head incessantly!

The severed tongue, just severed by Zhongren, had hit its weak spot.

Witnessing this situation, the young cultivators nearby who had been hiding showed expressions of extreme shock.

Never had they thought someone could wound this underground monster!

After the initial shock, everyone was filled with excitement beyond measure.

This scene enlightened the cultivators present that monsters were not invincible!

The fear that had gripped their hearts was completely dispelled.

"Charge with me, everyone, slay the demon, extract its demon core, and use it to refine elixirs!"

A young cultivator, towering over two meters tall, brandished a gleaming steel spear, leading the charge.

He was the leader of the group.

Following closely behind him were seven or eight figures enveloped in true qi.

Each wielding their weapons high, they transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the agonizing and roaring old monster.

This old monster was Chilian!

It had been lying in wait here, planning to ambush the young cultivators entering the ancient cave, devouring their flesh and blood to prolong its life!

Everything had been going smoothly until Zhongren, Gu Xiaoqi, and Zhe Liang's intervention!

Originally a mere earth-boring centipede, Chilian had cultivated for millennia to attain its current colossal form.

But separating its soul and assuming human form, having witnessed countless battles, it had never suffered such a huge setback!

After evolving into a demon, its mouth transformed into dozens of suction cups, coated with extremely sticky mucus that could directly swallow prey!

Because of this, its tongues were exceptionally fragile and sensitive, and the pain of being severed was dozens of times more intense than usual.

Just as its pain began to ease, the group of young cultivators arrived at its side.

Enraged, Chilian immediately widened its eyes and swung a sturdy leg from its abdomen.

Chilian itself was often thousands of feet long, with each leg nearly a hundred feet long, its movements akin to a mountain crashing down!

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a strong airflow, the pointed leg slammed into the space ahead.

"Ah!"

Several young cultivators who had just rushed forward were instantly shattered, their true qi shields broken, screaming as they were sent flying backward.

The brainless young cultivator at the front, wielding the spear, was directly shattered by the tremendous force, his entire body exploding.

Blood sprayed everywhere, horrifying onlookers!

The rest of the followers met similarly grim fates, with the least fortunate among them instantly killed, their bodies and bones shattered.

Despite the centipede's death, Chilian's actions proclaimed its might!

The remaining young cultivators, who had been eager to act, involuntarily suppressed their impulses, slightly retreating, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Chilian!

A single sweep could easily wipe out these powerful cultivators; rushing forward recklessly would likely result in death!

Life was precious, and no one dared to take unnecessary risks!

The other young cultivators refrained from attacking recklessly anymore, and the now composed Chilian turned its gaze towards the hiding place of Zhongren, Gu Xiaoqi, and Zhe Liang, an eerie chill emanating from its eyes.

"Roar!"

A deep, resounding roar echoed, and Chilian dragged its massive body forward like a towering mountain.

The sharp joints on its sides constantly jabbed at the ground.

Creating deep pits in the ground as it moved rapidly towards the hiding spot of the three.

The colossal limbs erupted with immense force, fiercely striking the rocks.

With a deafening rumble, the stones where Zhongren and the others were hiding exploded on the spot!

Amidst the flying debris, the three were unable to continue lurking, but thankfully, their combat talents were extraordinary, and they leaped aside in unison to evade!

"Swoosh!"

A melodious phoenix cry rang out.

Amidst the swirling dust, a surging wave of fiery energy suddenly appeared!

In the next moment, Gu Xiaoqi was enveloped by a scorching energy, transforming into a giant phoenix with outstretched wings, swooping towards the recently revealed Chilian.

Sensing the approaching high temperature, Chilian's eyes widened suddenly, and it directly opened its mouth, spewing forth a stream of green pus!

The moment the pus was expelled, the surrounding air distorted!

It was evident that the green pus contained potent toxins and corrosive effects!

Gu Xiaoqi, shrouded in the fiery power of the phoenix, crashed into the green pus that had been expelled.

"Sizzle!"

A piercing burst rang out.

The venom that had just come into contact with the flames was instantly vaporized, emitting a strong, pungent odor!

The flames continued forward but were obstructed by the subsequent venom, and after a momentary stalemate, they canceled each other out.

Gu Xiaoqi, being of the Phoenix bloodline, wielded the power of flames!

But her growth time had been too short, and her abilities still lagged far behind Chilian's.

If not for her exceptional talent, she would have likely been injured during their initial clash!

As the venom evaporated and dissipated into the surrounding air, turning into poisonous mist, the grass along its path withered instantly, transitioning from green to yellow, and then black!

With a gust of wind, it vanished into thin air.

The overbearing toxicity made everyone present's pupils contract!

Chilian aimed its massive, ferocious head at Gu Xiaoqi, raising its sharp limbs from its abdomen once more, ready to strike beside Gu Xiaoqi!

Just as Gu Xiaoqi had launched an attack against Chilian, her new strength not yet fully exerted, she was completely unprepared to defend against the incoming assault!

"Atrocious creature, cease your recklessness!"

A loud shout rang out from the side at this critical moment.

Zhongren, wielding the Primordial Sword, his entire body enveloped in surging true qi, his handsome face adorned with a pair of resolute eyes, brandished the supremely sharp sword light, instantly standing before Chilian!

Seeing Zhongren's arrival and the sword light in his hand, Chilian's eyes flickered with a glint of hatred!

It was this sword that had severed nearly a third of its tongue!

With Zhongren now standing in front of Gu Xiaoqi, blocking its attack, Chilian grew even more furious!

With old grievances weighing heavily on its heart, it let out a roar and lunged towards Zhongren with its mouth wide open!

"Be careful!"

Gu Xiaoqi exclaimed, while Zhe Liang quietly emerged from the shadows and swiftly pulled her, who was already exhausted and still wanting to resist, away.

Facing Zhongren, who stood suspended in mid-air without any evasive movements, all his true qi transformed into streams of light, pouring entirely into the Primordial Sword he held!

Previously, he had been standing nearby, observing the duel between Gu Xiaoqi and Chilian without making a move, actually accumulating power!

Sealed within the Primordial Sword was a strike equivalent to the ninth-stage cultivation of an emperor!

To unlock the seal, Zhongren needed to infuse all his true qi into it, a process of gathering strength.

At this moment, he had arrived just in time, catching the moment when the seal was about to be broken.

Zhongren had instructed Zhe Liang in advance to pull Gu Xiaoqi away when he appeared, avoiding any harm to her.

Everything proceeded according to plan.

At this moment... the demon would be slain!
