Chapter 0876: Desperate Counterattack

With each step that Li Lingjing took towards Li Luo, his body tensed up a little more. His face continued to show a shocked and frightened expression, and he even retreated a few steps.

His eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing this, Li Lingjing told him gently, "Don't worry. I'll savor you carefully. There won't be any pain at all."

When her foot landed on the ground, she appeared right in front of Li Luo like a phantom. With eyes full of greed and desire, she stared at him like someone dying of hunger looking at a magnificent feast.

She opened her mouth wide, and the white teeth inside it turned pitch-black. It was a truly bizarre sight, as if it was the mouth of a devil.

Pssht.

Sticky, black smog came from her mouth, carrying soft and strange whispers that had the power to corrupt people. Li Luo was stunned by it instantly as he stared blankly into the air.

His mental state fell into confusion all of a sudden.

Even though he had prepared for this, the True Devil Other was more formidable than he had expected.

Fortunately, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf let out a violent cry in the same instant. It resonated in his heart, and the effects of the corruption wore off.

Li Luo regained his consciousness, but he broke out in cold sweat. He had underestimated the True Devil Other. Without the power of Harmony, he was in no position to stand up against her at all.

Luckily, he had the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf.

Li Luo grabbed his blade tightly, and the crimson bracelet lit up. A wild, violent, crimson energy surged up and flowed through his body.

In the next moment, berserk energy soared into the sky.

Li Lingjing was slightly taken aback by this sudden development. However, she relaxed again once she sensed the strength of the energy wave.

"So you still have a hidden ace. Unfortunately, it's only around the power of a first-grade Duke. This won't change anything." She was not afraid at all, and black smoke shrouded her slender, jade arms. She directly grabbed Li Luo's face and lifted him up.

There were countless rustling sounds coming from the worms wriggling within the thick, black smoke.

Li Luo understood this as well. The power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf alone was not enough to deter the Soul Eater True Devil. As such, he sunk his mind deep into the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade at this moment.

In the blade was a kingmark with a mysterious luster and a terrifyingly dominant aura.

This was the true gem of the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade. It was something that a King Stage cultivator had spent a lot of time and effort to refine. However, every use of this kingmark would consume the King's power stored in it. Once it was exhausted, the mark would naturally dissipate too.

As a result, Li Luo would not use this ace casually—he had saved it for life and death scenarios like this one.

When he activated the kingmark, a mysterious, golden light burst out. Strand after strand of golden light appeared on the blade of the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade.

Without any hesitation, Li Luo lifted his weapon and slashed down towards the fake Li Lingjing that had come forward to grab him.

The blade sliced apart the void, and the wild, crimson energy boomed like thunder. Everywhere that the blade light flew past cracked open.

However, the most terrifying thing was not the crimson blade-light. It was the strands of mysterious, golden light that were wrapped around the blade light.

The golden light seemed to contain an indescribable force. Although it seemed weak on first look, even the aggressive energy from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf gave way to it when it flowed past. It was as if the energy from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf did not dare to stand in its way.

Initially, Li Lingjing was not bothered by Li Luo’s slash. It only contained the strength of a first-grade Duke, so it would pose no threat to her. As such, she did not dodge the strike and had planned to deflect it with her bare hands.

However, she immediately sensed something off when she came into contact with it. There was a strong sense of danger that struck an indescribable fear in her heart.

At this moment, she finally noticed the golden light wrapped around it.

There was a terrifyingly dominating presence coming from it, as if space-time had been frozen by its presence. At the same time, the countless black worms in her Shadow Worm Smoke started acting up in a frenzy. It was as if they were rushing in all directions, trying to escape frantically.

"That's... King energy?!" she screamed shrilly in disbelief. Li Lingjing's empty eyes finally appeared shocked for once. This was a force that frightened even her.

Nonetheless, the blade light reached her. The thick, black smoke vanished like evaporated snow, and the countless tiny worms disappeared in the blink of an eye. Her arm disintegrated in an instant.

“AHHH!”

At this moment, Li Lingjing let out an ear-piercing cry. Corruption leaked out of her body like rising smoke as she hurriedly retreated.

Li Luo watched with an icy expression as the blade light swirled around his sword. In the next moment, the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade slipped out of his hand and transformed into a crimson stallion that chased after her.

As the stallion charged through the air, the sticky, cold, black smoke evaporated upon contact.

In the short span of a single breath, the stallion caught up with Li Lingjing. Without any hesitation, it dashed right through her.

“AH! AHHH!”

Numerous screams erupted in the air.

Countless cracks started to appear on her body like broken pottery. In the next moment, streams of thick, black smoke escaped from the cracks.

Even the Soul Eater True Devil could not withstand Li Luo's ultimate ace.

Bang!

Her body exploded.

An immense shockwave swept across the field, and Li Luo was caught up in it as well. Fortunately, he had the protection of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf, so he only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood from the shockwave.

He had no time to be bothered by these injuries at all. Staring intently at the now destroyed body of Li Lingjing, he was certain that his strike had severely injured the Soul Eater True Devil. But was it enough to kill it completely?

Li Luo did not dare to let his guard down as his eyes scanned the surroundings intently.

This ultimately paid off. In the next moment, he noticed countless strands of black light rising from the ground and fusing together rapidly.

A few moments later, a giant, black worm that was hundreds of meters tall stood in front of Li Luo.

The worm looked really strange, with multiple tentacles sticking out of its body. On its head was a human face that kept changing, with thick, black smoke coming from its mouth and nose.

This had to be the real body of the Soul Eater True Devil.

Its body was full of cracks, and black smoke continued to escape. Evidently, it had been gravely injured by the previous strike.

“Roar!”

The Soul Eater True Devil cried out as it stared at Li Luo with eyes full of hatred and anger.

Seeing this, Li Luo felt his scalp turn numb. This True Devil Other was really tenacious. After receiving that all-out counterattack from Li Luo, it was still not dead.

“Surely it must be near its end, right?”

As Li Luo was caught up in his thoughts, the Soul Eater True Devil did not attack him. Instead, it started retreating quickly.

Seeing this, Li Luo finally understood. The Soul Eater True Devil was more gravely injured than he had imagined. With a look of determination, he chased after it.

The Soul Eater True Devil was too dangerous. Now that he had the chance, he had to eliminate it once and for all. Otherwise, it would be a headache in the future if it managed to escape.

Like a flash, Li Luo sliced through the thick, black mist and chased after it relentlessly.

In response to the hot pursuit, the large body of the Soul Eater True Devil suddenly shrank into the size of a thumb. With a tail sweep, it sliced a rift through the void in an instant and appeared right in front of Li Luo.

What a sly thing! It was planning to counterattack.

The worm's mouth opened wide, revealing numerous sharp teeth.

It was planning to eat Li Luo directly.

Li Luo's body felt chilly at this moment. The Soul Eater True Devil was really vicious. This was clearly a last ditch attempt to devour him.

Just as Li Luo was planning to utilize the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf to counterattack, the pocket sphere on his wrist started vibrating. In the next moment, a light flew out of it.

Li Luo was caught off guard by this sudden development. When he squinted, he noticed that the light was a jade ornament.

It was a very familiar jade ornament.

His eyes widened after he thought about it. He recalled it now… Li Lingjing had given him this object back in Western City.

But why had it suddenly come to life?

While Li Luo was full of questions, the jade ornament flew out and clashed directly with the Soul Eater True Devil.

BANG!

The ornament shattered into pieces. In that same moment, Li Luo felt a formless energy emerge from it. It seemed to possess its own consciousness, and the stream of energy dashed straight into the vicious mouth of the Soul Eater True Devil.
