Chapter 445 - Live ... or Die! (1/2)

"Brother of the demon race, you are going to use your full strength?"

Zhong Yue's mortal body morphed again as he said with a smile on his face, "Such a coincidence, I was going to use my full power as well."

He turned into the Fuxi True Form, the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] was fully cast and he clenched the golden sword in his hand.

With a swing of his tail, Zhong Yue shot out like a nocked arrow let loose.

Ding——

The Golden Peng Sword struck with the Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners, and the attacks were so quick that the sounds of weapons clashing formed a fast-paced cacophonous symphony that reverberated through the sky.

Yan Zhen's hundred arms danced as the Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners Array changed continuously as a myriad of giant beasts flew out of the array formation and attacked Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue just kept his other hand raised and launched the same old attack at them.

This time, it was a giant beast with bone spikes all over its body that flew out of the banner array. Seeing another giant beast charging at him, Zhong Yue raised his hand again and shouted, " [Celestial Demon Yi] !"

The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] then started revolving, and as the giant beast crashed into it, Zhong Yue stifled a deep groan. The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] was slowed down as the beast pushed forward into it.

Suddenly, the bone spikes on the giant beast pierced into Zhong Yue's palm, causing the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] to show signs of stagnation!

The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] was sluggishly revolving in an effort to disintegrate the giant beast, but as it was a Xuan Yin beast soul formed by the Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners, it wasn't that easy to kill.

Although Yan Zhen was still far from fully wielding all of the banners' power, he was more than capable of unleashing the full force of one of them. Releasing the beast soul sealed in one of the banners was not too hard of a thing for him to do.

The two youths' energies surged as they collided with one another while Zhong Yue's other hand relentlessly slashed the banner array formation.

The beast soul came from the banners, and if he broke banner array formation, the beast souls would dissipate as well. Zhong Yue would then have the upper hand at that point!

Blood streamed out from his palm, and the bone spurs penetrated deeper into his palm. Some of it even reappeared out the back of his hand. The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] continued to slowly turn as it worked to disintegrate the beat soul's power.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue and Yan Zhen were still locked in battle. Their fight brought them into the ruined celestial temple, and the Xuan Yin Qi from the other banners had frozen the whole celestial temple.

Yan Zhen could feel the beast soul's power faltering in the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] . It would not be able to last for long before Zhong Yue got it out of the way. By then, Zhong Yue would have the upper hand, and so Yan Zhen began to exert every ounce of his power into the beast souls!

Suddenly, voices of worship came from the celestial temple. It felt like millions of people were chanting in unison as their voices inundated every corner of the celestial temple.

The earth then quaked, and intricate totem patterns crawled out from the floor, interweaving and locking together into chains.

Chi——

Zhong Yue's Golden Peng Sword accidentally slipped past the side of the totem pattern chains. A powerful force instantly struck his arm, causing him to lose grip on the golden sword as it flew out while the skin on his arm ruptured.

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat while Yan Zhen was overjoyed. Suddenly, Yan Zhen's Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners bumped into the totem pattern chains as well. Immediately, the banners slipped out of his hands and his arms fissured as well.

Right at the moment, the Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banner Array was destroyed, and the beast soul let out a cry in sorrow as Zhong Yue's [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] fully disintegrated it in just seconds!

Zhong Yue was unarmed, but Yan Zhen still had a few banners with him. He waved the banners and pierced them toward Zhong Yue.

"Worshipping of the gods!"

Around the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] , figures of thousands of gods and thousands of demon gods appeared. They bowed at Zhong Yue who was in the middle and worshipped him. Zhong Yue's aura burst out, and he also bowed at Yan Zhen.

The two of them stifled a groan in pain and were sent flying back, bumping into the totem pattern chains.

Immediately, the sound of bones cracking could be heard from the two youths. Their bodies had evidently suffered fairly severe damage before they were sprung out into the air again.

The two youths were then shot out by the totem pattern chains and crossed shoulders with one another. Yan Zhen flitted his hands and pierced the Xuan Yin Banners he had into Zhong Yue's chest. Zhong Yue opened his eyes wide, and the Yin and Yang Qi launched out and pierced Yan Zhen's eyes, depriving the young demon's ability to see.

Chi ——

The divine third eye also opened, and a flash of godly ray sliced the top of his skull away, nearly killing Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen then landed on the ground. The top of Yan Zhen's skull was sliced open, and the gray matter that was faintly beating was visible from his exposed skull. His eyes were also vaporized into ashes. But the young demon expert was ruthless as well, despite his injuries, he continued persevered as he dispersed his hundred-armed demon god form and cast out his Yuan Shen.

His Yuan Shen was also in the hundred-armed demon god form. Although Zhong Yue had destroyed his eyes and turned him into a blind man, his Yuan Shen's eyes were still perfectly fine, allowing him to still be able to see.

Zhong Yue also landed on the ground at the same time. The banners had pierced into his chest, and the Xuan Yin Qi in them was freezing him from the inside, gradually turning him into an ice statue from the inside out.

There were nearly 30 Xuan Yin Hundred Demon Banners pierced into his chest, and so the amount of Xuan Yin Qi that was attacking him was immense. Even though only the entirety of the hundred banners was what was considered the divine demon weapon, every banner was still as strong as one of Swords Gate's Ten Malefic Weapons.

With over 20 Xuan Yin Banners, the consolidated power was certainly not something to scoff at. If properly wielded, these over 20 banners could easily freeze an Imminent Deity magnate to death!

"Strong indeed...," Yan Zhen was coughing blood out. Two streams of blood flowed down his cheek like tears from his empty eye sockets that were 'looking' at Zhong Yue. The smile he had on his face was bitter and somewhat twisted, but he finally said, "I've won, but it was at too high of a price. I admit that you are really good, but this is your end!"
