Chapter 225 The Moment of Slaying Demons
"Sssah!"
A creature emerging from the ground in the distance let out a piercing howl, sounding almost like a human with a deep, resonant voice!
Its remaining crimson tongue swiftly retracted, and Zhe Liang also broke free in response.
Ignoring his wounds, he glanced back, seemingly afraid that the cunning foe might still be feigning injury, risking danger for his comrades.
However,
Zhongren and Gu Xiaoqi rushed up simultaneously, each grabbing one of his arms and pulling him back to their hiding spot.
The trio gazed out at the open space ahead.@@@@
"Roar!"
A thunderous roar resounded.
A monstrous figure standing in the distance, towering thousands of feet tall, shook its ferocious head incessantly!
The severed tongue, just severed by Zhongren, had hit its weak spot.
Witnessing this situation, the young cultivators nearby who had been hiding showed expressions of extreme shock.
Never had they thought someone could wound this underground monster!
After the initial shock, everyone was filled with excitement beyond measure.
This scene enlightened the cultivators present that monsters were not invincible!
The fear that had gripped their hearts was completely dispelled.
"Charge with me, everyone, slay the demon, extract its demon core, and use it to refine elixirs!"
A young cultivator, towering over two meters tall, brandished a gleaming steel spear, leading the charge.
He was the leader of the group.
Following closely behind him were seven or eight figures enveloped in true qi.
Each wielding their weapons high, they transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the agonizing and roaring old monster.
This old monster was Chilian!
It had been lying in wait here, planning to ambush the young cultivators entering the ancient cave, devouring their flesh and blood to prolong its life!
Everything had been going smoothly until Zhongren, Gu Xiaoqi, and Zhe Liang's intervention!
Originally a mere earth-boring centipede, Chilian had cultivated for millennia to attain its current colossal form.
But separating its soul and assuming human form, having witnessed countless battles, it had never suffered such a huge setback!
After evolving into a demon, its mouth transformed into dozens of suction cups, coated with extremely sticky mucus that could directly swallow prey!

Because of this, its tongues were exceptionally fragile and sensitive, and the pain of being severed was dozens of times more intense than usual.
"Sizzle!"
A piercing burst rang out.
The venom that had just come into contact with the flames was instantly vaporized, emitting a strong, pungent odor!
The flames continued forward but were obstructed by the subsequent venom, and after a momentary stalemate, they canceled each other out.
Gu Xiaoqi, being of the Phoenix bloodline, wielded the power of flames!
But her growth time had been too short, and her abilities still lagged far behind Chilian's.
If not for her exceptional talent, she would have likely been injured during their initial clash!
As the venom evaporated and dissipated into the surrounding air, turning into poisonous mist, the grass along its path withered instantly, transitioning from green to yellow, and then black!
With a gust of wind, it vanished into thin air.
The overbearing toxicity made everyone present's pupils contract!
Chilian aimed its massive, ferocious head at Gu Xiaoqi, raising its sharp limbs from its abdomen once more, ready to strike beside Gu Xiaoqi!
Just as Gu Xiaoqi had launched an attack against Chilian, her new strength not yet fully exerted, she was completely unprepared to defend against the incoming assault!
"Atrocious creature, cease your recklessness!"
A loud shout rang out from the side at this critical moment.
Zhongren, wielding the Primordial Sword, his entire body enveloped in surging true qi, his handsome face adorned with a pair of resolute eyes, brandished the supremely sharp sword light, instantly standing before Chilian!
Seeing Zhongren's arrival and the sword light in his hand, Chilian's eyes flickered with a glint of hatred!
It was this sword that had severed nearly a third of its tongue!
With Zhongren now standing in front of Gu Xiaoqi, blocking its attack, Chilian grew even more furious!
With old grievances weighing heavily on its heart, it let out a roar and lunged towards Zhongren with its mouth wide open!
"Be careful!"
Gu Xiaoqi exclaimed, while Zhe Liang quietly emerged from the shadows and swiftly pulled her, who was already exhausted and still wanting to resist, away.
Facing Zhongren, who stood suspended in mid-air without any evasive movements, all his true qi transformed into streams of light, pouring entirely into the Primordial Sword he held!
Previously, he had been standing nearby, observing the duel between Gu Xiaoqi and Chilian without making a move, actually accumulating power!
Sealed within the Primordial Sword was a strike equivalent to the ninth-stage cultivation of an emperor!
To unlock the seal, Zhongren needed to infuse all his true qi into it, a process of gathering strength.
At this moment, he had arrived just in time, catching the moment when the seal was about to be broken.
Zhongren had instructed Zhe Liang in advance to pull Gu Xiaoqi away when he appeared, avoiding any harm to her.
Everything proceeded according to plan.
At this moment... the demon would be slain!
