Chapter 1893: Chapter 1990: Dead End
Although the Old Demon Saint doesn’t have many years left to live, at the moment he is still full of vigor. His formidable strength hasn’t declined in the least, and across the entire Human Clan, few can withstand the Old Demon Saint.
At this moment, the Old Demon Saint launched a fist strike, his boundless Demon Qi transformed into a golden fist imprint, carrying the overwhelming power to crush everything as it descended upon the Pill Saint Palace.
This strike is enough to defeat most of the destiny powerhouses of the current era; even the Old Palace Master at the peak of his state would find it hard to withstand this strike from the Old Demon Saint.
After all, the Old Demon Saint’s strength is ranked among the top three beneath the Martial Arts Supreme. Although the Old Palace Master is also a destiny powerhouse, compared to such a strong figure as the Old Demon Saint, he is still slightly inferior.
With the Old Palace Master unable to act, a dozen other destiny powerhouses charged together, trying to block the Old Demon Saint’s offensive.
Boom!!!
The golden fist imprint exploded, and the horrific aura forced these dozen individuals to retreat repeatedly, each showing a look of horror. Obviously, they didn’t expect that the already aged Old Demon Saint would still possess such power.
"It seems that truly, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse," the Old Palace Master said through gritted teeth. Although his expression wasn’t pleasant, there was no panic in his heart.
The Old Demon Saint’s breathing was slightly rapid. After all, facing more than ten destiny powerhouses of the Human Clan alone, the Old Demon Saint, although powerful, wasn’t invincible like the Martial Arts Supreme, and found it somewhat strenuous.
However, the Old Demon Saint was not alone here; behind him were many strong figures of the Demon Clan.
"Kill!"
At the Old Demon Saint’s command, the many powerful figures of the Demon Clan behind him made their moves, all charging towards the Pill Saint Palace.
The Old Demon Saint flickered and directly landed atop the Pill Saint Palace, standing opposite the Old Palace Master.
"Old lion, you are seeking your own death." The Old Palace Master said coldly, despite being seriously injured, yet facing the Old Demon Saint without any fear.
A jest, the Old Palace Master was not afraid of the black-robed man, who was comparable to the Martial Arts Supreme, why would he be afraid of the Old Demon Saint in front of him?
"Once the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill is in my hand, I can transcend beyond the heavens and earth. No one can kill me." The Old Demon Saint said without expression, as a golden lion’s paw appeared, directly swiping towards the Old Palace Master.
The Old Palace Master barely swung his longsword, but was struck and retreated repeatedly by the golden lion’s paw, spitting a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this situation, the Old Demon Saint’s face showed a trace of a cold smile. Now no one could stop him, and wasn’t the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill practically within reach?
The Old Demon Saint glanced back at the strong figures of the Demon Clan following him, engaging those dozen destiny powerhouses of the Human Clan, already gaining the upper hand.
"Let’s not delay, quickly get the Transcendental Elixir." Ignoring the heavily injured Old Palace Master, the Old Demon Saint rushed directly into the Pill Saint Palace.
The Old Palace Master saw this but did not insist on stopping, a weird look appearing on his face.
"Old lion, old lion, you’ve been shrewd your whole life, yet at this moment you’re muddled." The Old Palace Master shook his head.
Inside the Pill Saint Palace, the Old Demon Saint followed the strong and exceptional aura advancing towards Fang Lin’s alchemy secret chamber, his face showing even greater fanaticism.
"No matter what, I must get it," the old lion thought to himself, his desire to transcend life and death driving him nearly to madness.
Having reached this step, nothing could make the Old Demon Saint abandon the contest for the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. After all, he now had the best chance to obtain it, and there was no other strong figure to contend with him.
If he missed such a good opportunity, the Old Demon Saint thought he might as well die.
Finally, the alchemy secret chamber was right in front of him. The Old Demon Saint sped down the quiet corridor but suddenly came to a halt, stopping abruptly.
The Old Demon Saint’s face changed dramatically, his golden eyes fixed fiercely on the stunning figure at the end of the corridor. The excitement from almost acquiring the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill vanished instantly, and his mind became completely calm.
Unfortunately, the Old Demon Saint calmed down too late; having reached this point, there was no way back.
"Bai Qingxue!" The Old Demon Saint managed to utter the name of that beautiful figure with difficulty, his face reflecting an unsightly expression, his heart filled with deep powerlessness and bitterness.
Bai Qingxue stood leaning on her sword, her beautiful eyes coldly watching the Old Demon Saint. Her stunning face devoid of any sign of life, displaying only an indescribable gloom and killing intent.
"Old lion, you really came to die," Bai Qingxue said, her tone carrying a hint of mockery and contempt.
The Old Demon Saint’s expression kept changing; although Bai Qingxue’s presence was unexpected, having reached this point, there was no longer any retreat for the Old Demon Saint. He could only fight desperately; as long as he obtained the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, everything would be worth it.
Though Bai Qingxue is strong, she is not a Martial Arts Supreme. The Old Demon Saint believed that even if facing Bai Qingxue offered little chance of victory, a desperate battle’s outcome remains uncertain. If Bai Qingxue had her focus divided by concerns over Fang Lin in the secret chamber, perhaps he could prevail.
"Lord Bai, I only wish to take the pill, nothing more," the Old Demon Saint said.
Bai Qingxue sneered, her face covered with sarcasm: "Having killed your way here, do you think this kind of nonsense is of use? No more words, let’s see the truth in action."
The Old Demon Saint snorted, and his fists quickly attacked, attempting to seize the initiative.
Bai Qingxue was expressionless, standing her ground without moving an inch, her golden sword directly cleaved, meeting the Old Demon Saint’s fists.
With a clanging sound, the golden sword met the Old Demon Saint’s fists, producing a metallic clang, yet the Old Demon Saint remained unscathed, continuing to charge towards Bai Qingxue.
Bai Qingxue remained indifferent, standing firm without retreating a step, her eyes as calm as a bottomless pool.
The Old Demon Saint suddenly felt an unprecedented fear, chills running through his body, as if plunged into a millennia-old ice cave.
Everything around came to a standstill, an indescribable force enveloped everything here, and the Old Demon Saint too was subdued by this force, his body unable to move, all of his demon qi completely suppressed and rendered ineffective.
The Old Demon Saint’s pupils constricted, his eyes reflecting deep terror. For such a powerful figure to be suppressed and unable to move, like a lamb awaiting slaughter, what kind of terrifying power was this?
"You are not a Martial Arts Supreme! Why are you so strong?" The Old Demon Saint exclaimed in shock.
Bai Qingxue took one step at a time towards the Old Demon Saint, saying, "Not a Martial Arts Supreme, does that mean I can’t kill you?"
The Old Demon Saint’s heart filled with bitterness and despair, finally understanding why the Palace Master of the Pill Saint Palace did not fight him with all his might outside. Such a terrifying figure was waiting for him here.
