#3270 - Broken Hand
The cultivators were fighting to snatch the True Spirit Crystal Cores, not just driven by Wang Hao, but because the True Spirit Crystal Cores were rare treasures. They were the most essential part of a True Spirit's being. One True Spirit Crystal Core could definitely nurture a Mahayana Realm expert.
The abundant power of laws and origin within them also significantly benefited Mahayana cultivators, potentially raising them by a minor level. Who wouldn't want that?
However, the Demoness reacted quickly, countless black threads spreading from her body, sweeping fiercely towards the crowd.
Whether they were in the early or late stages of the Mahayana Realm, as soon as they were struck by the black threads, terrifying withered marks would immediately appear on their bodies. The recovery ability of Mahayana cultivators was extremely strong, and the withered marks would disappear quickly after appearing, but the black threads were endless, constantly leaving traces on them!
Fortunately, more than thirty Mahayana experts attacked together. Although the Demoness was strong, she couldn't contend against so many people at once!
So, despite the seemingly extreme danger, everyone only appeared slightly disheveled, eventually escaping the attack range of the black threads with the Crystal Cores.
But just when everyone thought they were safe, the black threads suddenly condensed, transforming into black chains, rapidly extending and binding everyone in place.
Immediately afterward, the Demoness's dozens of black tentacles slammed fiercely towards the Mahayana cultivators!
If this strike were to land squarely, even if it didn't result in immediate death, a serious injury would be unavoidable!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Hao made a bold move, and thousands of blood-colored sword lights shot out from the side, accurately severing the tentacles, stalling the attack and giving everyone time to escape!
Everyone retreated tens of thousands of feet, but before they could rejoice, their expressions changed instantly. They hurriedly threw away the True Spirit Crystal Cores they had finally obtained.
These True Spirit Crystal Cores were stained with a dense True Demon Qi. In that short contact time, the demonic energy had already invaded their bodies, and the palms of their hands had begun to demonize.
The stronger cultivators immediately circulated their power to suppress it, while several Mahayana cultivators in the early stages, lacking sufficient strength, could only grit their teeth and chop off their hands. They knew very well that at this time, they could only save themselves; they couldn't rely on others. Once the demonic energy invaded their nascent souls, they would only face death.
Seeing this, several mid-stage Mahayana cultivators also didn't hesitate to sever their hands. With their strength, they could suppress the invading demonic energy but couldn't expel it completely in a short time!
Losing a hand would affect their strength, but it wasn't fatal. However, if they lost their combat power in order to suppress the demonic energy, their fate wouldn't be much better either.
"These True Spirit Crystal Cores are ruined. I didn't expect this demon to be so tyrannical!"
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions becoming increasingly solemn.
Faced with this setback, the Demoness showed no joy or sorrow. The tentacles beneath her became thicker, and strange demonic patterns appeared.
With a booming sound, the sky became even darker, and the entire Demon City seemed to be wrapped in a cage.
"It's the Demoness's Demonic Domain. She wants to trap us all here to death."
Boom! A strange gray flame ignited beneath the Demoness's feet and spread rapidly, instantly forming a sea of gray fire!
A large number of demonic creatures wailed, turning into ashes in the sea of fire!
Looking at the demonic flames surrounding them from all directions, the cultivators couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and then they fully unleashed their protective measures.
The sea of fire surrounded everyone, frantically refining them!
The Demoness didn't stop, and her tentacles stretched towards the True Spirit Crystal Cores that had been discarded by everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, quickly think of a way!" Qiu Yunkai and the others shouted anxiously.
"Senior Wang, please save us!" Some people begged for help, disregarding their status.
"Master!" Seeing the critical situation, with most of the Mahayana cultivators trapped in the demonic flames, and the situation taking a sharp turn, Wang Yuan immediately shouted towards Wang Hao.
He was waiting for Wang Hao's order. As long as Wang Hao gave the command, he would risk his life to help Wang Hao break through the space and escape!
"This demon must be suppressed, otherwise, even if we escape today, we will suffer in the future, and by then, this demon will be even stronger." Wang Hao wasn't just acting out of responsibility; the True Spirit Crystal Cores and a treasure on the Demoness's body were fatally attractive to him, and he certainly wasn't willing to leave like this!
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you crazy? Although that Demon God doesn't have intelligence, its aura is already comparable to a Loose Immortal. Even if Yun Yi and the others were here, they wouldn't dare to provoke her easily. You staying here is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Fairy Liuying was extremely anxious upon hearing this. She had signed a Soul Contract with Wang Hao. If Wang Hao died here, she would be finished too. She had finally regained her immortal power and had a glimmer of hope, but she didn't want to die like this!
"Although the power is terrifying, the weaknesses are also obvious. Without consciousness, her combat power is greatly reduced!"
Wang Hao hadn't really made a move yet. From the Demon Tree to the Demoness form, he had been carefully observing.
Even in the Demoness form, the strength she displayed was still at the Mahayana level. Otherwise, Qiu Yunguang and the others would have died long ago; how could they have lasted until now?
In other words, now is the best time to deal with this demon. Once she grows up and possesses the final piece of the puzzle, consciousness, Wang Hao won't be able to deal with her!
"Just helping you deal with the demonic flames? I do have some confidence," No matter how much she deceived herself, the Soul Contract couldn't be equal. At the critical moment, Wang Hao would have the final say, and Fairy Liuying was helpless.
"Wang Yuan, later you will break through the space to help Fellow Daoist Qiu and the others escape," Wang Hao instructed.
"Master, I should stay and help you…" Wang Yuan hesitated.
"No need, the commotion later might be a bit big. It would be dangerous for you to stay here. Moreover, the essence power of the Ganyang Realm cannot be lost here, otherwise, it will cause great chaos."
Wang Hao explained, taking the opportunity to kill Qiu Yunkai and the others? It wasn't the time. Wang Hao wasn't that dark. As his strength grew, Qiu Yunkai and the others were no longer a threat. With the growth of the Wang family, these so-called super clans weren't that scary anymore.
"Yes, Master, I understand," Wang Yuan wouldn't disobey Wang Hao's orders and immediately agreed.
"Okay, time is of the essence. I'll make a move right away. Watch for the opportunity and leave! If everything goes smoothly, I'll meet you outside the city!"
After completing the final instructions, Wang Hao immediately left the crowd and flew towards the Demoness.
