Chapter 616 - 269: Defeating the Celestial Demon
"Are you done talking? If you are, hand over all your Golden Cores to me!"
The demon couldn’t figure out whether Chu Ning’s magical treasures, which included Black Profound Gold, were hard to deal with or if capturing the leader first was a better strategy.
It chose Tie Shi as the first target of attack.
However, Chu Ning wasn’t idly standing by.
From the murals of the Thunder Fire Sect, Chu Ning already understood that between the Outer Celestial Demon and human cultivators, the relationship was one of irreconcilable differences.
So he was well aware that dealing with this demon wasn’t solely Tie Shi’s responsibility.
If this demon couldn’t even deal with Tie Shi, then the next moment, everyone present would be in trouble.
With the Fire Spirit Sword in hand, Chu Ning sent it flying as Tie Shi’s Iron Fists hammered towards the Outer Celestial Demon.
He controlled the Flying Sword to slash directly at the neck of the three-armed monster demon.
The demon seemed to have some trepidation towards Chu Ning’s flying sword mixed with Black Profound Gold.
At this moment, the strange hand originally attacking Tie Shi twisted back at an extremely peculiar angle, reaching for the hilt of Chu Ning’s Fire Spirit Sword.
It replaced the target with normal arms facing Tie Shi’s dual fists.
Although Chu Ning didn’t know what powerful strength the strange hand had, he dared not let the opponent seize his flying sword.
With a pinch of his right hand’s sword technique, the flying sword spun adroitly in the air.
It directly avoided the strange hand.
Then it slashed again towards the opponent’s neck.
At this moment, the three-armed monster demon that had just clashed fists with Tie Shi swiftly moved aside.
The next moment, a black shadow flickered and disappeared.
Seeing this, Chu Ning suddenly felt alarmed.
He activated the Divine Wind Escape, quickly dodging away.
However, even though Chu Ning’s Divine Wind Escape, with the magic robe’s boost, was so fast,
he still couldn’t completely avoid the demon.
Its figure flashed past where Chu Ning had just been standing and appeared right beside him the next moment.
That peculiar arm reached directly for Chu Ning’s Dantian.
The speed was such that even though Chu Ning had two flying swords by his side, he couldn’t stop it in time.
Chu Ning could only fully activate his Earth Spirit Rock Technique and Undying Golden Body.
Meanwhile, the Earth Spirit Sword and Wood Spirit Sword combined into a wider flying sword, slashing towards the strange hand.
"Squeak!!"
As the strange hand, covered in black scales and emitting black light, touched Chu Ning’s Earth Spirit Rock Armor Technique,
the armor formed by this top-level technique dispersed instantly.
Revealing Chu Ning’s Undying Golden Body Shield.
Black light and golden light intertwined, and in the next moment, the strange hand of the celestial demon was directly blocked by the faint golden light of the Undying Golden Body.
Not only that, the golden light entwined upwards, causing the black light on the strange hand to fade significantly.
Meanwhile, the flying sword formed by the fusion of Chu Ning’s Wood Spirit Sword and Earth Spirit Sword had already slashed this strange arm.
"Gah!!"
The three-armed monster demon let out a furious roar.
Under Chu Ning’s slash, the strange arm had already been severed more than halfway.
It seemed it would be completely cut off.
But at that moment, the strange arm’s black light flashed, and it suddenly transformed into spots of black light.
When the three-armed monster demon flew off and returned to You Jing’s side,
the black spots followed, reconverging in its chest, and again transformed into an arm-like shape.
"So close!" Chu Ning thought, regretting the missed chance.
If only the Fire Spirit Sword had been summoned back in time to combine, the three swords might have cut off the demon’s third strange arm.
Yet, even so, this scene shocked the other four cultivators greatly.
Even the distorted face of the three-armed monster demon showed a clear astonishment.
"Who exactly are you, and why do you possess something that can counter our demon techniques?"
The already unpleasant voice of the three-armed monster demon, paired with its current strident tone, became even more jarring.
At this moment, You Jing, seeing that even the three-armed monster demon almost got injured by Chu Ning, shouted loudly.
"Didn’t you say that among the Golden Core cultivators, none were your match?
Now, you can’t even handle a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator..."
As soon as You Jing said this, his words were abruptly cut off.
In his anger, the three-armed monster demon, without moving its body, turned its head strangely.
A pair of demonic eyes emitted a ghastly black light, staring directly at You Jing, causing him to shiver in fear.
"You’re nothing but trash yourself, yet actually think you’re some genius? If so, there’s no need to keep you around."
The three-armed monster demon sneered coldly.
Hearing this, You Jing’s face revealed a trace of horror.
"What did you say?"
But just as he uttered these words, the strange hand of the three-armed monster demon had already swiftly reached out, grabbing at his Dantian.
Seeing this, You Jing immediately flew backward in escape.
Only narrowly avoiding the demon palm.
However, what shocked everyone present was that the demon’s strange arm suddenly extended by a foot.
Although You Jing had seemingly dodged the demon palm, it still caught up to him.
The demon palm fell on You Jing’s Dantian, and who knows if it’s because the demon indeed knew the flaws in You Jing’s cultivation technique,
or because You Jing’s strength had greatly decreased after his arms were severed.
