The sharp sound of the Demon-Slaying Sword tearing through the air exploded like a thunderclap. Black fog surged violently around Demon Lord Yōumíng, and the faint black mark on his chest suddenly burst with eerie light. Su Yao's pupils contracted sharply—on the surface of the mark, runes identical to Zhao Ya's Jade Pendant had unexpectedly appeared, except that the lines were twisted like coiled vipers, exuding a suffocating, evil aura.
"Watch out!" Master's startled cry and Demon Lord Yōumíng's ferocious grin rang out simultaneously. The Black-robed Man's withered palm instantly transformed into a pitch-black claw, grabbing the blade of the Demon-Slaying Sword with incredible speed. Su Yao felt a violent shock in the web of her hand, and her entire body flew backward like a severed kite, crashing against the rune-covered wall as blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.
Lin Yu's ice-blue sword Qi arrived in time, but the moment it touched Demon Lord Yōumíng, it froze into dust. Zhao Ya's Jade Pendant flared with blinding light, and golden chains coiled like agile serpents toward the Demon Lord's ankles, only to be shattered into specks of starlight by a casual wave of his hand. Demon Lord Yōumíng's demonic energy condensed into a physical entity, transforming into the phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god. Each palm wielded a magic weapon burning with netherworld ghost fire, pinning the four of them firmly to the corner of the altar.
