“You’re going to make a fool of yourself, old demon!”

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord shouted, and turned into a bright light, and with the blood puppet, he rushed towards the Extreme Demon Venerable.

“Since you’re asking for a death wish, I shall grant it to you!”

A stern expression flashed across the Extreme Demon Venerable’s face, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand flashed brightly, the Malicious Ghosts and Yin Ghosts in the dark fog suddenly all stormed away.

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord was not afraid as he patted the storage bag on his waist. A rosary was taken out by him. It looked a bit like a Buddhist bead. However, upon careful observation, it emitted a creepy feeling. Every bead was actually a small back skull.

Lin Xuan’s heart shook, and he didn’t expect that the Extreme Demon Venerable and the Sky Fiend Demon Lord were not only using the same techniques, but both of them were also Ghost Cultivators.

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord flicked his fingers, and a Spirit Art shot out from his fingertips. After being absorbed by the black skulls, they grew rapidly. One by one, their sizes rose to three or four feet. They grinned viciously and greeted the Malicious Ghosts.

“Asura Skull, junior brother, you really surprised me, I didn’t think you’d have so many treasures!”

The Extreme Demon Venerable laughed wildly, and shook the Demonic Banner, shooting countless blacks lights like spider silk from it, and after a dazzling cross, they turned into dozens of tiny black spider webs.

“Take this!”

Then he screamed, and the black nets all over the sky suddenly fell down, capturing the skulls.

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s expression changed. He had miscalculated, and still underestimated the old demon a little. A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator’s spiritual powers were so great that even his second Soul surpassed him.

After a little hesitation, a trace of determination flashed across his face.

“Go!”

Pointing at the blood puppet, the clone made of blood and Vital Qi rushed towards the Extreme Demon Venerable, and his body turned into a black beam of light, escaping in another direction.

He promptly came to a decision and acted on it quickly!

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but admire the courage of the Demon Lord. For no other reason, using the Blood Shadow Technique would make him lose two hundred years of life unless it was completely intact. Which meant that once the blood puppet was destroyed, not only would he lose some of his life span, his cultivation base would also drop significantly.

It was even possible to even drop a whole stage.

However, in the face of the old monster such as the Extreme Demon Venerable, escape was indeed the only correct option. It was just that the decision to sacrifice the blood puppet was not something that everyone could do.

However, things were not that simple.

A strange smile flashed across the Extreme Demon Venerable’s face, and a golden Talisman was pulled out from his arms. The Talisman burned, and accompanied by a terrifying roar, a Spirit Beast appeared in midair.

Beast Talisman!

Lin Xuan was naturally no stranger to this thing, the soul of a Spirit Beast was sealed inside it. By looking at it, that shape, the imposing aura, it was a Level-3 Spirit Beast, which can be compared to cultivators of the Core Formation Stage.

The Spirit Beast roared, and the blood puppet was intercepted, the Extreme Demon Lord didn’t stay any longer, turning into a red cloud, he flew at an amazing speed and blocked the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s way.

“Junior brother, struggling is useless, you should just give up!”

The Extreme Demon Venerable revealed a playful expression, just like a cat playing with a mouse. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something.

Although Lin Xuan’s Spiritual Sense was far superior to that of same stage cultivators, it was far less powerful than this old monster. But he also noticed the strange look from the expression of the Extreme Demon Venerable, he raised his head and looked at the southeast.

Could it be…

He guessed correctly. After a while, a few bright beams of lights rushed over here at an alarming rate. They were led by the Taibai Sword Immortal.

Lin Xuan looked around and saw Ouyang Qin’s stunning face. In addition to the Big Three’s Core Formation Stage Experts, the Blood Demon Ancestor and the Hundred Poison Boy were also among them.

The Righteous and Demonic Path had teamed up together. After killing hundreds of Sword Thorn Tigers, they finally escaped the canyon.

Seeing this scene. Lin Xuan’s face showed a trace of excitement.

He was not worried, but happy!

There is no other reason for it. If it was just the Extreme Demon Venerable and the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, the Heavenly Dust Pill would definitely be out of his hands. but now that there were so many Core Formation Stage cultivators, although the Extreme Demon Venerable was strong, after all, his second Soul possessed only a limited amount of strength.

The forces of all parties were complicated, and the water was muddied. Maybe, he still had a chance.

The various lights stopped, Taibai Sword Immortal and the Blood Demon Ancestor glanced at each other, there was a hint of surprise in their faces. It cost them a lot of effort to come here and they scolded the Demon Lord in their hearts, but they also feared him, this person was not only powerful but also cunning. If one didn’t pay enough attention, they’d fall into his trap!

But looking at the situation in front of them, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was in a miserable shape. Is this young man so powerful? They have never heard of this person in the Core Formation Stage. Is he a Rogue Cultivator cultivating alone in the mountain?

“Excuse me, Fellow Daoist, do you have a name?”

The Extreme Demon Venerable did not speak, and just turned his head, his lips moved a few times as if to transmit his voice to someone.  Lin Xuan was a bystander on the sidelines, and noticed that the Blood Demon Ancestor’s eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, then with joy, but this person was an old sly fox, and quickly concealed his mood.

It seemed that the Extreme Demon Venerable didn’t want to reveal his identity!

As Lin Xuan could think of this, so naturally could the Sky Fiend Demon Lord. He couldn’t let the other party have what he wished as he laughed gleefully, “Extreme Demon, when did you learn to be a tortoise, how can you not reveal your identity to these people.”

What, the Extreme Demon Venerable?

Except for the Blood Demon Ancestor who had already known, everyone else’s expressions changed greatly when they heard this, and moved away from the strange young man.

It wasn’t because they were shy.

All the cultivators present were in the Core Formation Stage. All of them have been through hardships in life, it was just that this name was really too shocking.

The Demonic Dao’s first expert!

It was already difficult for a Demonic Cultivator to achieve the Core Formation, but this person had formed a Nascent Soul.
