Chapter 617 - 269: Defeating the Celestial Demon
It went straight into the body without any resistance.
"What are you doing? No..."
You Jing seemed to realize something, and at this moment, let out an incomparably terrified voice.
But none of this stopped the movements of the Three-armed Monster Demon.
Its Demon Palm pierced into You Jing’s Dantian and then suddenly extended out.
On its dark hand, there was a Round Pill the size of an egg.
At this moment, You Jing’s face turned deathly pale instantly.
"No, you can’t eat my Golden Core!"
Amidst You Jing’s wailing, the demonic shadow paid no heed whatsoever.
The next moment, what left Chu Ning and the others utterly dumbfounded was.
The Three-armed Monster Demon actually put You Jing’s Golden Core into its mouth and started chewing.
Immediately, a crunching sound resounded.
Everyone present, including Chu Ning, felt a chill run down their spines.
As for You Jing, after having his Golden Core taken, his face, already drained of blood, turned utterly ashen.
With a casual wave, the demon tossed him to the ground like garbage.
His life naturally couldn’t be saved.
After finishing all this, the Three-armed Monster Demon twisted its strange head back.
Once again, it looked towards Chu Ning and the others.
At this moment, even Ao Langtian, who had never acted before, and Elder Zou of the Black Cloud Sect, each picked up their Magical Treasures, preparing to fight.
However, the demon’s gaze swept over the four and let out a strange laugh.
"Jieh Jieh Jieh! Consider yourselves lucky; my power hasn’t fully recovered yet.
Otherwise, all four of you would’ve died here. Today, I’ll spare you for now."
"Stop him!"
Hearing this, Chu Ning immediately shouted.
Simultaneously, he drove his Flying Sword to attack the demonic shadow.
Tie Shi’s reaction wasn’t slow either, quickly launching several punches.
However, at this moment, the demonic shadow suddenly vanished with a flick.
The next instant, it had already flashed several dozen meters away.
Just one glance told everyone that at their speed, they couldn’t catch up to it.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the demon escaped with a few more flashes, flying far away.
Chu Ning’s face turned rather unpleasant at this moment.
The demon’s power was formidable, and it was clear that it hadn’t fully restored its strength.
Once recovered, its strength would at least be at the Nascent Soul Level.
Normally, no matter how powerful this demon was, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, there were many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Western Alliance Continent.
But in the recent encounter, the demon seemed quite apprehensive of his Undying Golden Body and the Magical Treasure fused with Black Profound Gold.
Chu Ning couldn’t help but worry about being targeted by this demon.
However, even if his speed were comparable to the Three-armed Monster Demon, he wouldn’t dare to chase it alone.
Among the other four, except for Tie Shi, who seemed to have some understanding and intent to kill this Outer Celestial Demon,
The other two hadn’t made a move before.
And they were his enemies.
Just as this thought flashed in his mind, the next moment, Chu Ning suddenly sensed something.
His figure blurred, and he disappeared from where he stood.
Simultaneously, as Chu Ning appeared ten meters away, a streak of snowy white saber light swept over where he had just stood.
The next moment, Ao Langtian had already wielded his Lifebound Magical Treasure, attacking towards Chu Ning.
"Ao Langtian!"
Feeling the deadly intent of this Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator from the Daluo Sect towards him.
Chu Ning didn’t entertain any delusions; he pointed his finger, and three Flying Swords shot towards Ao Langtian.
As for Tie Shi and Elder Zou of the Black Cloud Sect, they each used their Magical Treasures, engaging in battle.
While controlling his Flying Sword to fight against Ao Langtian from afar, Chu Ning couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Tie Shi, when fighting one-on-two just now, hadn’t been at a disadvantage.
But now, facing Elder Zou of the Black Cloud Sect alone, he seemed incapable of quickly defeating him.
Evidently, the leader of the Celestial Extreme Alliance had decided not to get involved in the internal conflict of the Cloud Peak Alliance.
He had to rely on himself!
Just after fending off a wave of Ao Langtian’s attacks, Chu Ning quickly made a sword gesture.
Suddenly, the three Spirit Swords merged into one, transforming into a Giant Sword.
It slashed fiercely towards Ao Langtian!
The power of this sword had completely exceeded the attack power of even ordinary Early Stage or Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators.
Ao Langtian’s expression grew more serious, and his killing intent towards Chu Ning increased.
"This guy must be taken out now. Ten years ago, he was just at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but now, at Early Stage Golden Core, he’s able to launch such attacks.
If he continues to grow, once reaching Golden Core Late Stage, he might become the next Yu Changge."
As this thought crossed his mind, Ao Langtian wielded his Lifebound Magical Treasure Long Saber, channeling all his Pill Power, and slashed down.
To meet Chu Ning’s Giant Sword Magical Treasure mid-air!
As various brilliant lights dispersed, both of their Magical Treasures returned to their respective hands.
Their expressions both grew heavier.
"Ao Langtian truly deserves to be an elite among Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators; even combining all three swords, my attack power still falls slightly behind his!"
What Chu Ning didn’t know was that he was surprised, but Ao Langtian was even more astonished.
He had already considered Chu Ning’s sword power significant.
Yet, even with his full-force strike, he barely surpassed it by a hair.
He couldn’t deal any damage to Chu Ning at all.
How could this not be shocking!
Meanwhile, the two Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators dueling while conserving their energy were also greatly amazed.
They naturally understood the gap between Golden Core Late Stage and Early Stage.
When Chu Ning emerged unscathed from the Three-armed Monster Demon’s attack earlier, they thought it was due to Chu Ning having a Magical Treasure that restrained the demon fiend.
But now, fighting Ao Langtian was a direct confrontation.
Amidst the three’s astonished gazes, Chu Ning’s expression was calm as he held the Giant Sword.
Opening his mouth, he spit out a Pill Fire that landed on the Giant Sword.
The Giant Sword rose again, slashing towards Ao Langtian!
