The moment Chen Xuan seized the fragment of the Book of Death, the Death Demon let out a piercing, bone-chilling shriek. The cry sounded like the wail of a banshee, sending an invisible wave of sound rippling out in every direction. On the lands of the demon kin, the lesser demons and nocturnal creatures that had not yet fully perished had their souls instantly shattered by the roar.
The Death Demon was consumed with rage over Chen Xuan obtaining the fragment, its voice thick with dread. At that moment, the Heavenly Abyss formed by Chu Yun’s sword intent dissipated, and the Death Demon’s massive, bone-spiked claw lunged directly at her. Having exhausted most of her immortal essence to unleash her ultimate technique, Chu Yun was in a weakened state, with her old strength spent and her new strength yet to recover. In a battle between top-tier experts, such a lapse in defense was fatal.
Desperate, Chu Yun condensed a sword barrier to shield herself, but the Death Demon’s claw shattered it instantly. Chu Yun retreated at top speed, narrowly dodging the blow. However, the creature’s joints suddenly fired off bone blades, one of which struck her abdomen. Chu Yun’s expression shifted; she used her fingers as a sword to sever four of them, but she could not stop the fifth, which left a shallow wound on her abdomen.
