Chapter 233: Not Born to Be Demons
In the midst of the swirling yellow sand, everyone watched as Chen Mu's Thunder Spear struck down Wu Li, forced Jin Ye to retreat, and then sequentially erupted in power, killing Bo Kai, suppressing Kun Jie, and others. At this moment, almost everyone gasped in shock.
Four Sixth Rank Demon Men had fallen, one after another, within the blink of an eye!
Although they looked down upon Demon Men like Kun Jie, thinking that their integration with the demons made their minds dull, they did not deny the strength of these Demon Men; each was strong enough to contend against two or three Mysterious Corpses alone.
With Chen Mu fending off three Mysterious Corpses imbued with Secret Techniques, and consecutively defeating Kun Jie, Wu Li, and others, such strength was utterly terrifying. He was no ordinary newcomer of the Five Viscera Realm. Even in the Six Viscera Realm, he would certainly rank on the Wind Cloud List!
Experts of the Wind Cloud List!
To them, of average Sixth Rank caliber, such experts were nearly invincible and unshakeable!
"This is futile, retreat!"
Shocked beyond measure, Liao Chou finally understood the futility, and almost simultaneously, the three of them retreated, dispatching their respective three Mysterious Corpses to forcefully converge on Chen Mu, attempting to halt his advance.
However, Chen Mu looked on with cold eyes.
"Thinking of fleeing now? Don't you think it's a bit late?"
If the Heavenly Corpse Sect had acted decisively from the start, abandoning Kun Jie and others and fled, if they could have escaped far enough and burrowed into the depths of the yellow sand, indeed, he would not have been able to pursue them easily. But now, with the Sky Demon Sect either dead or crippled, to think of escaping from under his watch was undoubtedly too disdainful of him.
Chen Mu did not concern himself with Kun Jie, who was half-buried in the sand, weak and gasping. He simply drew out the Flowing Fire Blade. With a swing of his blade, he unraveled an instant of stunning brilliance as if he stirred the radiance of the sun and the moon, the confluence of heaven and earth.
Just one strike.
The three Mysterious Corpses were sent flying consecutively, their aura of Mysterious Evil Qi shattering into pieces!
Then, Chen Mu tossed the Flowing Fire Blade in his hand. It shot out, transforming into a streak of light, spanning dozens of feet across the sand dunes, and targeted one of the escaping remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
"No!"
That individual let out a hoarse roar, pulling out something from his body and crushing it, instantly releasing a dense cloud of ash, which eroded away a large part of the heavenly and earthly Cycle Mark on the Flowing Fire Blade. But ultimately, he could not evade the strike of the Flowing Fire Blade, which penetrated him from back to front, sending him flying tens of feet forward, lifeless.
Without pausing, Chen Mu, having tossed his Flowing Fire Blade, raised his hand to the sky just in time to catch the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear that he had thrown earlier and pierced Wu Li with. It fell from the sky like a black line and into his grasp.
Crackle and pop!!
As Chen Mu's hand clasped shut, the purple thunder on the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear burst forth again, turning into a dazzling streak of light, overshadowing the heavens and the earth. It flew out faster than the Flowing Fire Blade, and before one of the fleeing remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect could react, it penetrated their entire body!
The Crackling Evil-Breaking True Thunder exploded on their body, emitting sizzling noises like water dousing fire, grinding their Evil Qi into a fog of ash until their bodies burst into fragments!
"Damn it."
Seeing two of his fellow disciples killed in an instant, Liao Chou was terrified. Even though he was weak, he forced a spot at his heart, expectorating a mouthful of black heart's blood that turned into a dense black fog, engulfing him before he dived into the sand dunes, desperately burrowing down, attempting to escape into Earth's Veins.
However, Chen Mu, after throwing the Flowing Fire Blade and the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear and killing two people, continued his pursuit relentlessly, reaching the spot above Liao Chou's underground escape in just two steps, then with a cold expression, he stomped down hard.
Boom!!!
The entire sand dune, with the point of his stomp as the center, rolled outwards like ocean waves, the Earth's Veins beneath the ground were stirred violently and became turbulent and chaotic.
Liao Chou had burrowed more than ten feet underground, but feeling the intense fluctuations chasing him from behind, he panicked and continued to burrow deeper. However, he was soon overtaken by the rolling force of Earth Pulse's Power and caught within it.
The once soft sand turned as tough as steel under the impact of Earth Pulse's Power. With each roll and squeeze, his already weak and hunched body was brutally compressed into a mass, bursting out with copious amounts of black blood with a thud.
Above ground.
After slaying the three from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, Chen Mu turned to see Jin Ye holding the corpse of Wu Li, pierced by the Evil-Breaking Thunder Spear, howling in pain towards the sky. Then, suddenly opening his wide jaws, he bit into Wu Li's chest, tearing the torso apart and swallowing the dark red heart whole.
A violent rush of demonic power and blood qi erupted from him. He then threw aside Wu Li's corpse, his pupils filling with blood until his eyes turned completely red.
"Heavenly Demon Transformation!"
With a near-mad roar, his demonic power swelled, the scale armor on his body stretched to the point of cracking, and his flesh almost tearing, his demonic power momentarily overbearing even Kun Jie's.
The overwhelming force and pressure almost caught up with Chen Mu who harnessed the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal.
"You... die..."
Jin Ye's throat produced an unclear voice. His body seemed on the verge of bursting, filled with terrifying power that filled his gaze with ferocity and intent to kill. Suddenly, he leaped up, swinging his fist fiercely towards Chen Mu.
