Chapter 485 - Chapter 485 Chapter 485 Reduced to Ashes
Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Reduced to Ashes Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Reduced to Ashes “Boom–” With a loud bang,
both the Enchanting Demon and Zhong Niangyao were forced back several steps.
Blood seeped from the corner of the Enchanting Demon’s mouth, while Zhong Niangyao had directly vomited blood. It was obvious at a glance whose injuries were more severe.
“You do have some skills.”
At that moment, there was no trace of a smile on the Enchanting Demon’s face, replaced instead by a darkness. When she looked at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, “Over these many years, the only one who could hurt me has been you. So–”
“I will make your death particularly agonizing.”
Without any hesitation, she swung her hand and launched a bolt of demonic power at Zhong Niangyao.
That demonic power was ferocious and carried the Enchanting Demon’s fury, sharply attacking Zhong Niangyao’s face.
Zhong Niangyao was already internally injured and was powerless to dodge it at this point.
“Be careful!” Jiang Ruoyao couldn’t help but scream out.
Lu Yichen did not hesitate at all, decisively moving to intercept the strike.
Just as the attack was about to hit, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Zhong Niangyao suddenly lifted her head, and her entire aura underwent a drastic change. A faint glimmer of gold twinkled deep in her eyes, and her expression grew colder. She looked down on the Enchanting Demon as if from a towering height, contempt in her gaze, “Courting death!”
Then, before the Enchanting Demon’s attack even arrived, Zhong Niangyao quickly stepped forward and, with a casual flick of her wrist, the attack vanished without a trace.
As for Lu Yichen’s interception, it had dissipated into thin air the moment Zhong Niangyao lifted her hand.
In an instant, the situation had become crystal clear. For Zhong Niangyao had already swiftly approached the Enchanting Demon, reached out, and grabbed her by the neck, lifting the Enchanting Demon off the ground with one strong motion.
The abruptness of this change left the Enchanting Demon unable to react in time and she was now under control. However, being a demon who had seen the world, she quickly recovered and concentrated demonic power in her hands to strike at Zhong Niangyao.
To her great surprise, her attack was dispersed before it could even reach Zhong Niangyao.
At the same moment, Zhong Niangyao merely glanced at the Enchanting Demon indifferently and then, with a flick of her wrist, sent the Enchanting Demon flying several meters away, crashing hard against a wall before falling to the ground.
Lu Yichen stood quietly in the distance, observing the significant changes in Zhong Niangyao with an unknown light flickering in his eyes, yet he said nothing, simply waiting silently for things to come to an end.
Jiang Ruoyao, who had been hiding in a safe area, was utterly stunned at this point. Just moments ago, she had been worried about Zhong Niangyao’s safety. But now, the situation had taken a complete one-eighty. The creature rumored to be a demon was now easily tossed aside by Zhong Niangyao.
She had never imagined that this delicate-looking sister would be so powerful. Should she say her judgment was exceptionally good? Getting to know such a sister today was a stroke of luck; otherwise, she truly might have met her end here.
On the other side, the Enchanting Demon lay on the ground, feeling that she had sustained very serious internal injuries. Her internal organs had likely been severely damaged by that very strike.
She couldn’t understand how things had happened, for just moments ago, the adversary’s power had been far inferior to hers, but now, she could feel that their strength was many times greater than her own. Even in their presence, she felt completely suppressed.
“Evil beast,” Zhong Niangyao said impassively, her words as cold as frost, “You must have played this sort of trick often to increase your cultivation!”
“You–,” the Enchanting Demon’s voice trembled, “Who exactly are you? No, you’re not human at all; you’re also a demon–”
By the end of her accusation, her voice had risen several octaves, panic spreading within her. Because on the other, she also sensed demon energy.
However, unlike hers, the demon energy from the other was pure, untainted by any filth. This indicated that the other was increasing their cultivation through practice, completely different from her, whose hands were stained with human blood.
But what terrified her the most was that in the face of Zhong Niangyao, she felt an innate terror seeping through her bones. Such fear was bone-deep, the suppression that ran in the bloodlines of great demons over lesser ones.
The other was not just a demon but a demon who was many times her superior.
Now, before this entity, she couldn’t muster even a shred of the will to resist.
Yet, just a moment ago it hadn’t been this way, this had clearly been a human! How could they suddenly have turned into a great demon?
“What I am is not important. What matters is, today you’re going to die here.”
Zhong Niangyao’s voice resonated with indifference; she merely looked coldly at the Enchanting Demon without moving a step forward, simply lifting her right hand toward the demon, then suddenly clenching it into a fist and squeezing hard!
“Ah–”
As a blood-curdling scream echoed, the grievously injured Enchanting Demon, before grasping what had happened, had already turned to ash and vanished from this world.
After dispatching the Enchanting Demon, Zhong Niangyao turned her head to look at Lu Yichen and then slowly walked over to him.
In her eyes, there remained not a hint of warmth, as if she were looking at a stranger.
On the contrary, even facing a Zhong Niangyao who was completely different from before, the affection in Lu Yichen’s eyes remained.
In just a few steps, Zhong Niangyao had stopped in front of Lu Yichen, but before she could speak, she suddenly fainted.
Lu Yichen extended his arms, catching the falling Zhong Niangyao, his voice gentle, “It’s alright, go to sleep now.”
