Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1264: Chapter 277: Ancient Demoness

"Didn’t we request backup? Why is no one here yet?"

Huo Xiaoqi’s face was grim, his True Treasure Robe torn, holding a silver ruler in his hand, stained with blood, its luster dimmed.

He displayed his Extreme Realm, exuding a terrifying aura, with his Dharma Aspect towering behind him like an insurmountable mountain.

Although he was only at the True Immortal Eighth Layer, when he unleashed his full power without reservation, he became the strongest of the four, even surpassing Shi Tianjin.

It was because of this that they could barely hold on until now.

"Put in more effort, take your medicine if you have it, don’t worry about damaging your foundation. If we fall, we’re all doomed, not even a chance for reincarnation!"

Shi Tianjin cleaved through an Ancient Demon in front, shouting angrily.

Surrounded heavily by Ancient Demons, even if he wished to escape alone, it was difficult to break through the encirclement.

Fortunately, amongst the newcomers, Huo Xiaoqi was a hidden expert, revealing combat power not inferior to his at the True Immortal Eighth Layer, capable of single-handedly holding off two True Immortal Perfected Ancient Demons, sharing a great deal of pressure.

"Kill them all!"

Another veteran soldier, eyes red, roared hoarsely, his immortal power exhausted, taking large gulps of medicine to replenish himself.

Bang!

A True Immortal Tenth Layer Ancient Demon swooped down, stirring a foul wind, its crescent-moon-like power shattering immortal techniques, overturning a veteran soldier.

Huo Xiaoqi’s expression changed slightly, swiftly waving his silver ruler to assist.

The two Ancient Demons in front of him, seeing this, simultaneously activated their innate secret techniques, twisting the void before Huo Xiaoqi’s eyes, his Divine Sense trembled, his brain buzzing.

"Help me!"

The veteran’s face turned crimson with blood, screaming tragically.

Others in the encirclement made moves, but their immortal techniques only caused slight injuries upon the True Immortal Tenth Layer Ancient Demon.

This Ancient Demon Clan had powerful Primordial Spirits, their physical bodies on par with the top bloodlines of the Dragon Clan.

"It’s over!"

"Who will save us!"

"I don’t want to die, I haven’t even joined the Sky Wolf Army, I still need to avenge my family, I..."

The newcomers in the encirclement were all pale, their faces filled with fear, unwillingness, and despair.

Even a few lower-cultivation veterans were pale, fiercely attacking in silence, but with little effect.

Suddenly, a chilling killing intent enveloped everyone.

Huo Xiaoqi and Shi Tianjin abruptly looked up.

They saw, at the rear of the Ancient Demon group surrounding them, a pitch-black shadow roiling and transforming, gradually forming a mighty and indistinct black figure, seemingly wearing a tall hat, holding a dust whisk, but that whisk appeared to be made of countless vengeful spirits compressed into strands, emitting piercing wails.

The black figure suddenly waved its hand, the vengeful spirit whisk sweeping across, and instantly, their ears were filled with mournful wailing, the immortal power around their bodies seemed sealed, and their Primordial Spirits were forced out of their Immortal Bodies, exposed to the cold wind and snow, unable to move.

This was the Ancient Demon Clan’s extremely famous innate secret technique, Nine Nether Guishen.

"No..."

Shi Tianjin’s face turned pale, his burly body trembling continuously, wanting to move but could only watch helplessly as the whisk descended.

Everyone else was the same, only Huo Xiaoqi’s eyes showed struggle, clenching his teeth, about to activate the life-saving Immortal Talisman given by his sect.

Suddenly, the descending whisk was abruptly torn open by a dazzling light, splitting in the middle into a radiant rift.

The piercing wails were seemingly cut off instantly, all annihilated in silence.

The Ancient Demon group attacking Shi Tianjin and others suddenly turned around en masse, spotting a figure with flowing golden hair in the starry sky, descending like an Immortal Divine.

Shi Tianjin and others were also stunned, their eyes wide, shifting from despair to wild joy.

They strained to look in that person’s direction, but the sword aura was so dazzling, against the light, they couldn’t discern the person’s face.

All this happened in a flash, and the five True Immortal Perfected Ancient Demons immediately reacted, roaring in anger and fear, recognizing the intense danger the person posed, abandoning Shi Tianjin and the rest, and turning to attack that person.

Stimulated, they let out menacing roars, unleashing trump cards not used before.

Thick black energy spread out, forming a dark domain to engulf the opponent.

Shi Tianjin and others came to their senses, their expressions changing, feeling the intense killing intent from within that dark domain. Had they been trapped in it, they might not have lasted this long.

Meanwhile, Li Hao also noticed the Ancient Demons’ methods, his eyes slightly icy, unleashing the Eternal Dao Domain.

At the same time, he displayed the Yan Luo exterior form, a fierce black shadow faintly appearing behind him, wielding the Purgatory Yan Blade.

Whoosh!

The Eternal Dao Domain clashed with the dark domain, exploding in a terrifying sonic boom, the Original Dao ripped the dark domain apart, and the temporal origin slowed a certain eerie power within the dark domain.

In just a moment, Li Hao’s Eternal Dao Domain gained the upper hand, and his Yan Blade followed, slashing out sword Qi that cleaved the void.

Bang!

A True Immortal Perfected Ancient Demon was cleaved in two at the head, its body and Primordial Spirit simultaneously perishing in an explosion.

The Yan Blade had a restraining effect on Primordial Spirits, the sword Qi imbued with Li Hao’s peerless Sword Intent, unstoppable.

"Explode!"

Li Hao softly whispered.

The Eternal Dao Domain expanded and enveloped, bringing the other Ancient Demons into its fold. Accompanied by the compression and shredding of space, the void erupted in black blood mist, and the dozens of Ancient Demons that previously attacked simultaneously exploded like fiery flowers!

This scene was too impactful, leaving Shi Tianjin and others, who hadn’t yet cried out in astonishment, stunned, their eyes nearly bulging out, horrified beyond measure.
