Chapter 274 Losing
"Bang!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and the two quickly separated.
The blood moon shone brightly, and thick, inky clouds churned across the sky, shrouding the entire world in an eerie, dark red light.
In the demonic palace filled with demonic energy, Xie Wanxun, dressed in a black and red robe, was like a ghost in the dark night. Black vines were wrapped around her, twisting and turning nimbly and making rustling sounds, as if whispering a prophecy of death.
Mu Jinchen held a Crimson Sky Sword that exuded demonic energy. The sword was engraved with mysterious runes, each of which shimmered with an eerie light. His figure was tall and cold, and he exuded a chilling killing intent.
"Xie Wanxun, prepare to die!" Mu Jinchen was the first to attack, his voice low and cold, as if it came from the deepest hell.
With a light touch of his toes, he shot towards Xie Wanxun like a black lightning bolt. His longsword flashed with a series of sword flourishes, the sword shadows flickering like countless stars, carrying an overwhelming force as it aimed for Xie Wanxun's throat.
Xie Wanxun remained calm. With a gentle wave, the vines beside her surged like a raging black tide, intertwining and entwining to form an indestructible defensive barrier.
The sword struck the vines, producing a clanging metallic sound and sending sparks flying.
However, Mu Jinchen smiled and his eyes flashed with excitement: "That's interesting."
His attacks did not stop there; his swordplay became increasingly fierce, each strike carrying immense power.
"boom!"
Scattered vines lay on the ground as the sword stabbed towards Xie Wanxun.
Xie Wanxun quickly used her lacquered wooden sword to defend herself. Unfortunately, even the hardest lacquered wood in the world could not withstand the power of the demonic weapon.
"puff!"
A sword pierced Xie Wanxun's chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
Xie Wanning's eyes narrowed, and despite the excruciating pain, she quickly leaped up, escaping the attack range of the Crimson Sky Sword.
In an instant, countless vines burst forth from the ground, lunging at Mu Jinchen like hungry pythons. Seeing this, Mu Jinchen quickly brandished his longsword, severing the approaching vines one by one. However, the vines continued to multiply, growing ever larger with each cut, and soon completely surrounded Mu Jinchen.
Mu Jinchen's heart tightened; he realized that continuing like this would only put him at a disadvantage. So, he took a deep breath, his demonic energy surging wildly and concentrating on his longsword. Then, he roared and swung his sword, a black sword aura shooting from the tip, instantly severing the surrounding vines.
Xie Wanxun clutched her wound, struggled to raise the lacquered wooden sword, and flew towards Mu Jinchen.
In an instant, sword shadows clashed across the battlefield, vines danced in the air, and demonic energy collided with sword energy, producing deafening roars. Powerful energy fluctuations spread in all directions, sending sand and stones flying, shattering nearby boulders into dust. The two figures moved back and forth across the battlefield at a speed that was dazzling to behold.
"Boom!"
Xie Wanxun was struck by the sword energy and fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping, raising a cloud of dust.
Blood gushed from her mouth, the froth dripping from the corners of her lips and staining the ground beneath her. Her body convulsed uncontrollably, each spasm feeling like an immense weight was being borne.
Meanwhile, Mu Jinchen, high in the sky, revealed a calm smile. He raised his hand and gently patted the dust off his shoulder, his movements fluid and graceful, his expression serene.
"Cough cough!"
Xie Wanxun looked at Mu Jinchen and became certain of one thing: Mu Jinchen's cultivation had reached the Heavenly Demon level.
Xie Wanxun and Mu Jinchen are not at the same level of cultivation, so it is difficult for Xie Wanxun to hurt him.
Xie Wanxun staggered, and just as she stood up, she saw Mu Jinchen walking towards her with a sword in his hand.
"What? You can't hold on much longer? I thought you could last longer." Mu Jinchen grabbed Xie Wanxun by the neck and laughed, "What's your relationship with Xie Wanning? If I kill you, she'll definitely hate me. Back then, in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, I was threatened by a mere cultivator like her, and I'll never forget it!"
Mu Jinchen swiftly thrust his sword toward Xie Wanxun.
"Bang!"
Luo Ze Sword blocked the blade, while Gui Chen Sword thrust towards Mu Jin Chen with lightning speed.
Mu Jinchen frowned, dodging the attack of the Guichen Sword and releasing Xie Wanxun.
"I've finally waited for you, Xie Wanning," Mu Jinchen said with a light laugh.
Xie Wanning had no time to pay attention to Mu Jinchen. She helped Xie Wanxun up and asked with concern, "Sister, how are you?"
Xie Wanxun got up, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Jinchen.
A flash of cold light, and the sharp blade, accompanied by a whistling wind, shot towards them like a deadly meteor.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Xie Wanxun had no time to think. Her legs instinctively exerted force, and her body shot out like an arrow. Her arms shot out, and she used all her strength to push Xie Wanning away.
"boom!"
The powerful sword strike sent Xie Wanxun flying, slamming her heavily against the wall.
"elder sister!"
Xie Wanning was about to run over when she saw sharp blades coming at her without mercy.
She raised her hand and used the Luo Ze sword to defend herself, glaring angrily at Mu Jinchen: "Mu Jinchen, I will definitely kill you!"
After speaking, Xie Wanning rushed over quickly, and the firelight and demonic energy mixed together, creating a sea of fire that burned fiercely.
"Demon Lord!" Xia Mengchu struggled to her feet and helped Xie Wanxun to her feet.
She fed Xie Wanxun a pill and infused her with demonic energy, which finally woke Xie Wanxun from her coma.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Xie Wanning fighting with Mu Jinchen, and the entire Demon Palace trembled with their battle.
"Why...don't you run!" Xie Wanxun spat out the blood in her mouth and tried to stand up.
"Demon Lord, your injuries are too severe; I'm afraid you cannot fight," Xia Mengchu reminded him worriedly.
Xie Wanxun circulated the demonic energy within her body, and the lacquer wood reshaped her entire body, finally allowing Xie Wanxun to stand up.
"Xiao Chu, you shouldn't stay here any longer, hurry up and leave."
"No, I want to take my aunt with me." Xia Mengchu's eyes were glistening with tears.
"Okay." Xie Wanxun gently stroked Xia Mengchu's head, crushed a small paper doll, and a magical beast appeared in front of them.
Xia Mengchu looked at Xie Wanxun: "And what about you?"
"I have to go save my sister. She's too reckless, and I'm worried about her."
“Sister…” Xia Mengchu murmured to herself as she watched Xie Wanxun’s departing figure.
Xie Wanxun wanted to take out the lacquered wooden sword, but gently shook her head.
It seems we'll have to use other methods to deal with Mu Jinchen.
"The raging fire burns away evil and delusion. The array rises with spiritual power, annihilating demons and leaving them without light."
Purple light flickered on the ground, and black flames flew towards Mu Jinchen. At the same time, dozens of small paper figures were thrown out, and they exploded as soon as they got close to Mu Jinchen.
Xie Wan seized the opportunity and quickly grabbed Xie Wanning.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After a series of booming sounds, Mu Jinchen did not chase after them for the time being.
"Let's go! We can't beat him right now," Xie Wanxun said immediately, taking out two teleportation talismans.
Xie Wanning was injured and nodded quickly.
However, a cold hand grabbed the two teleportation talismans.
"I asked you, are you able to leave?"
