Chapter 380 - 234: Meat Grinder
The other Starfall True Demon saw its companion beginning to feast on its prey and grew restless. It set its sights on the Demon Suppression Army soldiers who were covering Array Master Zhou’s retreat.
Especially the Yu Hou in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Yu Hou’s body had been tempered by Magical Power, and his pure Blood Qi made the demon drool with anticipation.
The Yu Hou, You Jiao, felt a malevolent chill wash over him. His eyes met the blurred ones on the Starfall True Demon’s face for a brief moment, and he knew: the Golden Core Realm True Demon had locked onto him.
A resolute thought flashed through his mind. He circulated his Magical Power and shot into the sky.
"The rest of you, escort Array Master Zhou back to the Grand Array! I’ll draw this demon away."
As You Jiao flew, he unleashed his Spiritual Artifact, attacking the two Starfall True Demons.
His Spiritual Artifact was a small banner emblazoned with the image of an exotic bird. Once activated, it released a howling, cold wind that swept over the Starfall True Demons.
A layer of frost immediately coated the bodies of the two Starfall True Demons. Had it been an ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon, this frigid wind would have at least caused its Demon Qi to congeal, slowing its movements.
But without the Starfall True Demons even moving, the frost on their bodies melted and shattered, revealing their unharmed forms. The potent Demonic Qi roiling around them was like thunder and fire.
’How could the magic of a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator possibly freeze them?’
One of the Starfall True Demons coiled its power and sprang forward, appearing before You Jiao in an instant. A terrifying pressure radiated from it, immediately engulfing him.
Before the demon, You Jiao felt as insignificant as a drop in the ocean. The courage that had filled his chest just moments ago vanished without a trace. In desperation, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of Essence Blood onto his Profound Frost Banner, preparing to self-destruct the Spiritual Artifact to buy a little more time.
The Starfall True Demon raised its hand, and a gray demonic light enveloped You Jiao.
The Profound Frost Banner, whose aura had begun to surge violently, immediately fell silent. You Jiao discovered in horror that he was losing control of his Magical Power. His eyes widened as he desperately tried to summon it, but the power that was normally so effortless to command felt as if it were filled with lead, refusing to budge.
He could only watch helplessly as the Starfall True Demon’s massive hand reached for his head.
The cries of alarm from his subordinates sounded distant, as if they were in another world.
A ferocious Fire Dragon, radiating a piercing Sword Intent, descended and sliced through the demonic light. You Jiao suddenly regained control of his Magical Power and gasped for breath.
The Fire Dragon roared, washing over the Starfall True Demon like a downpour of lava. The piercing Sword Qi slashed against its hardened body, producing a shrill screech.
The Starfall True Demon’s body was burned red-hot as a Treasure Sword pierced straight through its skull, sinking almost to the hilt.
The Demon-Vanquishing Power imbued in the sword caused the Starfall True Demon to let out a sharp, agonized scream.
Suppressed by the Demon-Vanquishing Power, it could barely muster its Demonic Qi to resist the Fire Dragon. The raging Five Elements True Fire burned ever more fiercely across its body, threatening to spread like a wildfire.
As the Five Elements True Fire blazed, the demon’s aura weakened significantly. Even a portion of its meteorite body had been melted away.
"Get back to the array, now!"
The shout snapped You Jiao out of his daze.
He saw Minister Yang Jing standing guard in front of him.
"Yes!"
He shouted a reply by instinct and, controlling his Spiritual Artifact, the Profound Frost Banner, flew toward the Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Array.
The other Starfall True Demon, which had been gorging itself on the Demon Suppression Army, was now entangled in several Demon-Catching Chains, locked in a struggle with the Demon-Catching Tripod.
The Starfall True Demon roared, firing off blasts of Primordial Magnetic Demon Light. The Wanhua Child controlled the Demon-Catching Tripod to release the Great Sun Demon Light, blocking the attack. Gray light and demonic fire clashed in midair.
One man, one sword, and one tripod were locked in a chaotic battle with the two Starfall True Demons.
’Of course,’ Yang Jing thought, ’I can’t possibly defeat these two Starfall True Demons alone. They are countless times more troublesome than the Red Yin Death Demon. It would take all my strength and a great deal of effort just to handle one of them.’
With a crack of thunder, he suddenly vanished.
A dark beam of demonic light blasted through the spot where Yang Jing had just been hovering. The Demon Sect Flying Boat had been observing the battle, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The Starfall True Demon seized the opportunity to wrench the Celestial Waterfall Sword from its head. More than the True Fire roaring across its body, it hated this flying sword.
If the Starfall True Demon’s skull weren’t the hardest part of its body, that last strike would have nearly obliterated its Demon Soul.
Its blurry face twisted with deep hatred. It gripped the Celestial Waterfall Sword with one hand, ignoring the piercing Sword Gang that sliced deep gashes into its palm, and exerted its Giant Power, intending to snap the blade in two.
A beam of Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Divine Light suddenly descended, piercing through the Starfall True Demon that was grappling with the Wanhua Child. Without its Demon Soul to hold it together, the Starfall True Demon’s body crumbled into a pile of rubble that rained down to the ground with a CRASH.
The Starfall True Demon gripping the Celestial Waterfall Sword recoiled in shock, suddenly realizing that of the four summoned Great Celestial Demons, it was the only one left.
BOOM!
With a thunderclap, Yang Jing used Thunder Escape to appear directly in front of it, one hand grabbing the exposed hilt of the Celestial Waterfall Sword.
The next instant, the Celestial Waterfall Sword blazed with an incredibly dazzling white light.
The phantom of a white dragon flashed into existence for a heartbeat, then vanished.
The Starfall True Demon cried out in pain as the piercing Sword Qi sliced its thumb clean off.
The sharpness of the White Dragon Magical Sword far surpassed that of the Fire Dragon and Water Dragon Magical Swords.
As a Celestial Demon formed from a meteorite, the Starfall True Demon would normally feel no pain, even from a severed limb. But the piercing Sword Intent contained within this strike had not only slashed its thumb—it had also struck its very Demon Soul.
