Jiang Yangzi was struck with alarm. Naturally, he understood that the way demons enhanced their cultivation differed from that of ordinary practitioners. Each time a demonic practitioner ascended to a new level, they had to experience a death, and that death had to be at the hands of a practitioner to take effect. This was because demonic cultivators accumulated too much yin energy, and they required the pure yang energy of a practitioner to neutralize the excess negative force within them. However, rebirth required specific timing; it had to occur at the precise moment their cultivation was ready to advance. He never imagined that Mo Tian had schemed so deeply, having plotted for thousands of years. Such a sinister mind!
Mo Tian looked at Jiang Yangzi, Ye Chen, and the others, saying, "Prepare to die." With a wave of his right hand, he stirred the energy of heaven and earth, sending Ye Chen and his companions flying backward. Even though Ye Chen mustered countless streams of celestial energy, he still could not prevent his body from hurtling forward—directly toward a sacrificial altar. Simply put, Mo Tian intended to use their blood for a blood sacrifice.
Fortunately, Jiang Yangzi acted. He leaped forward, placing himself in front of the group, intercepting them and bringing them to a halt. "Leave quickly," Jiang Yangzi said gravely. "I will buy you time." In truth, this was the only thing he could do.
