0109 The Unification of the Demon Clan

With a sharp "swish," an ice arrow pierced the air and tore through Jiang Huaiming's thigh.

He let out a long, agonizing scream and crashed to the ground; his thigh had been severed by the silver-haired woman's arrow.

The silver-haired woman said coldly, "Regardless of the reason, delaying the battle and causing disastrous consequences warrants execution!"

The ice seal stanched the blood flow, while the internal Ming power instantly shattered Jiang Huaiming's Ming power system. He would not die immediately, but he would be a cripple from this day forward.

Even if he were to take first place in the grand examination now, it would be utterly meaningless!

The man in black nodded, withdrew his gaze, looked forward with a solemn expression, and said gravely, "This Guiyi Demon entity possesses School-level capabilities, equivalent to a martial cultivator at the Body-Ming stage. Judging by the concentration of demonic energy, it must be at the peak of the School level, with the potential to break through at any moment."

He stepped forward, took a deep breath, and continued, "We shall make up for our mistakes! Your level is too low; find a safe place to hide first."

While the man in black spoke to Jiang Feng, the silver-haired woman remained silent, drawing her bow and letting fly several ice arrows in succession toward the mass of black clouds.

There seemed to be a film surrounding the black clouds; the moment the arrowheads touched it, they lost their momentum and fell.

The silver-haired woman snorted. She stepped forward, and a layer of silver light suddenly emerged around her body!

The silver light flowed along her form—from her legs to her waist, up to her shoulders, and through her arms—merging into the bow in her palm. The silver light grew brighter and brighter, concentrating in the center of the bow to form an arrow that looked like silver lightning.

In an instant, the silver arrow was released, striking the black clouds with a shrill, piercing whistle!

This time, the barrier could no longer stop it; the arrow split the clouds and shot inside!

The shrill whistling stopped abruptly.

A hand reached out from the fragmented black clouds—slender, long, and incredibly graceful.

The nails on each finger were painted black, contrasting sharply with the pale skin—eerie yet beautiful.

Between the index and middle fingers of this hand, the silver arrow was caught—the very same one the silver-haired woman had just forged with all her Ming power. The silver arrow seemed to have a life of its own, struggling between the fingers, but it could not escape the hand's control.

The hand shook slightly, and the silver arrow suddenly shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

Then, a current of air generated from deep within the black clouds, and the black mist instantly turned into a long thread, being sucked back inside.

The silver-haired woman suddenly looked to the side and whispered, "Oh no!"

As the black clouds dissipated, the soldiers lying on the ground around them were rapidly shriveling. The Ming power within them was draining away, and along with it, their life force!

The man in black crouched down, but the moment his hand touched a soldier's chest, he shook his head and said, "...It's too late."

In the blink of an eye, the black clouds vanished, and all the soldiers in this sector had become mummified corpses!

This Guiyi Demon had not even officially appeared, yet it had already brought the signal of death!

A long, lingering sigh echoed in the air. This sigh carried a heavy sense of satisfaction, yet it contained even more insatiable desire. It pulled at people's hearts like a thread, leaving their emotions hanging in the balance.

A woman appeared in mid-air. She was tall and slender, yet her hips and bust swayed with a captivating rhythm. She wore a black garment, its texture so light and soft it seemed as if it were woven from demonic energy.

She was barefoot, walking down from the sky step by step. Halfway down, she suddenly vanished. When she reappeared, she was already beside the silver-haired woman, laughing softly, "How cruel. You don't know how to cherish such a beauty as me..."

The silver-haired woman coldly drew her bow and shot an arrow at the woman's brow without hesitation: "You are a woman, and so am I. If I cherish you, what becomes of me?"

The woman in black giggled and vanished instantly again; the ice arrow passed through her afterimage and missed. She circled to the other side of the silver-haired woman and pinched her ample chest: "I'll cherish you instead!"

The man in black stepped forward and said coldly, "Your Guiyi Demon avatar has taken on ten different male forms; whether you are male or female now is hard to say!"

He extended his hand, and an ice spear materialized in his grasp. He lunged forward, closing the hundred-meter distance in an instant, the tip of his spear aiming for the demoness's chest!

The two, one with a spear and one with a bow, fought side by side without hesitation, launching a coordinated assault on the demoness.

The demoness’s figure remained elusive, appearing everywhere around them.

The demoness was at the peak of the School level, while both human powerhouses were at the early Body-Ming stage. Both sides held the same rank, but the demoness possessed greater power.

The most troublesome aspect was that she possessed some unknown special ability; her speed was astonishing—no, "fast" was not enough to describe it. It was as if the entire space could not restrain her; she could teleport at will, appearing anywhere in the area!

This ability made it impossible for the man and woman to catch her. Every strike, whether from the spear or the bow, missed entirely, not even grazing a single hair on the demoness.

Both sides were formidable, and their battle quickly affected the surrounding environment. The few remaining houses collapsed completely, and the air surged violently, sending powerful shockwaves in all directions.

Originally, aside from the two human powerhouses, only Jiang Feng and the sector captain remained as survivors. Now, the captain could no longer stand his ground and was forced out of the sector step by step.

He gritted his teeth, glancing over at the other side with a mix of shock and suspicion.

He could certainly discern Jiang Feng's level. The boy was a full tier lower than him; why was he forced out while the other could still stand so close?

Jiang Feng had no time to worry about other matters. Gold light flickered over his pupils as he activated his Ming-sight, focusing intently on the battle ahead.

The demoness’s nails were extremely sharp, occasionally leaving wounds on the two human powerhouses. She was not using her full strength; she was fighting with a playful, teasing attitude.

No, it wasn't just teasing. Jiang Feng could see faint Ming power flowing from the wounds of the man and woman, turning into golden gas and vanishing into the air.

Their Ming power was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye! If this continued, the longer the fight lasted, the weaker their combat strength would become. With the gap widening, they wouldn't even need the demoness to finish them off before they collapsed.

Both were soon covered in blood. They were aware of their own condition, but neither showed any intention of retreating; they gritted their teeth and continued to fight.

To defeat this demoness, they had to catch her first!

How exactly was she moving?

No, don't rush, stay calm!

Jiang Feng closed his eyes and opened them again. The Heaven-Heart Seed rotated slowly, and the Heaven-Mystery Rubik's Cube emerged. The surrounding environment turned into a vast stream of data.

The combatants were so powerful that the influx of data was overwhelming, leaving Jiang Feng dizzy. He forcibly suppressed his nausea and kept his eyes wide open, observing the surroundings and analyzing the data.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath—he saw it!

The demoness appeared to have only one human form, but she was far more than that. Countless tentacles extended from her body, firmly controlling the surrounding space.

She was like a spider, having spun a transparent web. She lurked on the web, moving freely and launching attacks from it. Therefore, attacking her directly was useless; to finish her, one had to destroy the web first!

But how?

Jiang Feng squinted. Suddenly, he leaped into the air, lightning rapidly gathering on his iron ring, instantly forming a ball of scorching electric light. He threw a heavy punch into empty space!

The surrounding air seemed to tremble, and the demoness let out a hiss. Just then, the silver-haired woman bent her bow into a whip and lashed out—previously, such attacks had missed, but this time, the flexible bow body struck the demoness squarely in the chest and abdomen, sending her flying.

A hit!

The first successful attack!

Anyone could see that this success was entirely due to Jiang Feng's strike.

The demoness whipped her head around, glaring viciously at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng shouted without hesitation, "Ten point five inches!"

This was common battlefield terminology. The man in black reflexively swung his spear horizontally toward the position Jiang Feng indicated.

With a bang, the demoness happened to appear exactly there and was sent flying once more by his spear!

The man in black was overjoyed. Two successful attacks in a row meant this demoness was indeed beatable!

Their confidence surged. From then on, Jiang Feng’s shouts rang out again and again, and they attacked the positions he directed.

The demoness seemed completely controlled. Many times, they were attacking empty air, yet the demoness, standing two steps away, would still bleed and suffer injuries. Just like the man and woman earlier, demonic energy leaked from her wounds and filled the air.

The demoness could no longer maintain her previous composure. Blood-red colors surfaced deep within her eyes, widening until it seemed they would pop from their sockets.

Her movements became slower and slower. Jiang Feng knew this was because her "web" had been half-destroyed, and her range of control was shrinking.

Suddenly, the demoness turned to Jiang Feng and asked, "How did you know? How could you see it?"

Her crimson eyes locked with Jiang Feng's, and he thought to himself, *Oh no!*

In the blink of an eye, the demoness retracted her "web," condensing it into an invisible line that shot straight toward Jiang Feng!

She abandoned the fight with the man and woman, fixing her target entirely on Jiang Feng.

In less than a breath, she was in front of him. At this moment, she had regained her seductive allure, gently caressing his cheek: "What a formidable little brother. Don't be afraid, come into sister's arms..."

She threw her entire body into Jiang Feng's arms, parted her red lips, and breathed a wisp of faint black mist toward his face.

The gap in their levels was too great; Jiang Feng had no time to dodge. He steeled himself, reached out, and wrapped his arms around the demoness's waist.

The demoness giggled, "Is sister beautiful? Little brother, are you tempted?"

The smile had barely formed before it froze on her face. In an instant, her expression changed drastically. She slapped Jiang Feng’s chest and retreated with the same speed she had arrived with!
