Chapter 58: Team Division, The Demon From the Coffin!
“As expected.”
Yue Jianli said cautiously, “This coffin is not housing an Immortal Emperor, but a demon!”
According to the rules of the trial, the three of them were divided into two teams.
Among them, Li Ran and Yue Jianli were tasked to kill the demon in the coffin.
And since Song Qingsong had touched the coffin, he would automatically form a team with the demon, while the mission was… to kill Li Ran’s team.
“No wonder three people advanced this time. It turns out that it was all arranged.” Li Ran said coldly.
Yue Jianli was stunned for a moment, then understood.
After the three of them had advanced, the one who was forced to touch the coffin would definitely be the weakest.
The two remaining experts would automatically form a team.
It meant that from the perspective of the secret realm’s creator, this demon was extremely powerful, powerful enough to close the gap between Song Qingsong and them!
“So… What exactly is this place?” The three focused their gazes on the enormous coffin.
Apart from the black mist that was constantly flowing out from the gap, nothing happened for a long time.
“I must have made a mistake. How could I form a team with the demon?” Song Qingsong turned around and prepared to leave. He didn’t want to become enemies with these two freaks.
It was at this moment that a hand covered with fur suddenly stretched out from the gap and firmly grabbed his wrist.
“What is this…” Before he could finish his sentence, he was pulled into the coffin.
“Ah!” Song Qingsong’s heart-wrenching scream rang out from the coffin.
Only after an entire ten minutes had passed did the screams gradually stop.
Bang!
The coffin lid was overturned, and a monster slowly climbed out.
Its body was like a tiger, and its fur was exuberant. However, it had a human face, and a pair of wild boar-like fangs were visible from its mouth. It looked extremely ferocious.
As for that human face, it was none other than Song Qingsong!
However, his eyes were now green and white, and he did not even have any eyes. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness.
“Tiger Body and a human face… It’s Tao Wu!” Yue Jianli’s pupils contracted.
Tao Wu*, also known as Ao Yan, was a legendary ancient demon.
[TLN: Tao Wu actually translates to the legendary beast, but I figured out leaving it as pinyin would make it sound better.]
A demon known for its arrogance and ruthlessness.
Although the demon in front of them only had a trace of its bloodline, even such a thin bloodline would make it an extremely terrifying existence!
“Eat, eat, eat!”
Boom!
The Tao Wu made a hoarse and unpleasant sound as its saliva flowed down the corner of its mouth.
The Tao Wu, which had been sealed for thousands of years, desperately desired the taste of the flesh.
“This the final trial? Isn’t this too outrageous!” Yue Jianli’s expression was bitter.
“It’s just an animal. Just kill it” Li Ran took out his silver spear and rushed over.
At this moment, his spear intent surged along with the demon’s roar. One man and one demon were beaten into a ball.
Yue Jianli cleared her thoughts and her eyes became calm as she sheathed her sword to join the battle.
Boom boom boom!
For a moment, the hall was filled with rumbling sounds as her Sword Qi surged!
Their faces became darker as they fought
This demon’s strength was simply terrifying!
Not only was it extremely powerful, it was also immune to dao techniques. The black mist that was emitted was able to devour qi.
Every time they fought the demon, they would lose a large amount of Qi.
Furthermore, because of Song Qingsong’s existence, it had obtained a Golden Core Realm cultivation and was able to use the Supreme Dao Palace’s technique!
“I can’t continue like this. If I were to continue fighting, I’d exhaust myself to death!” A resolution flashed in Yue Jianli’s eyes.
She withdrew from the battle and quickly formed an incantation in her hand. She softly muttered.
Ji Ji!
The divine light on her longsword gushed and rapidly expanded in the air. In the end, it turned into a gigantic sword!
The huge sword was aimed at the demon, and the pure sword intent filled the entire space.
Li Ran looked at her in astonishment.
This girl really had some tricks up her sleeve!
Yue Jianli forcefully pressed down, “Cut!”
The huge sword moved in response, carrying an incomparably sharp sword intent as it whistled through the air!
The giant sword was unblemished, and it was capable of killing the demon!
Roar!
The Tao Wu’s eyes were filled with ferocity, and it reached out to grab the sword!
Yue Jianli’s eyes flashed with joy.
“Although this demon is strong, my sword is not…” Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes became wide open, as if she had been strangled.
All she could see was a large hand grabbing the blade. No matter how much the sword resisted, it was unable to break free.
The Sword Qi was instantly devoured by the black mist.
“I-Impossible!!”
A sinister smile appeared on the Tao Wu’s face. It hardened its finger and with a pinch, the giant sword was directly broken!
The giant sword returned to its original form, turning into a longsword that flew back into the ground, gently trembling.
Yue Jianli took a step back, she was clearly flustered.
This demon was too strong. It was not an existence that a Golden Core realm cultivator could deal with.
Roar!
The demon gave another ferocious roar before flying over towards Yue Jianli.
It was too late for her to retreat.
Bang!
At this moment, Li Ran sent the Tao Wu flying with a single strike. It crashed into several pillars before stopping.
He glanced at Yue Jianli. “Are you alright?”
Yue Jianli silently shook her head, her face was pale as a paper. Clearly, she had lost confidence.
On the other side, the Tao Wu unsteadily stood up and stared at Li Ran fiercely.
“Eat, you!”
“You really think you can eat me?”
Li Ran stabbed his silver spear on the ground and rolled up his sleeves. “If I don’t wring your head off today, my surname won’t be Li!”
