Cultivation Online

”Oh? What a pleasant surprise. Looks like I no longer have to waste time looking for you. I will make you pay for that embarrassment before.” The demon licked its hand that was covered in Azure’s blood when it noticed Yuan standing a few meters away from it.

”Hm? This blood is fucking delicious!” The demon was surprised when it tasted Azure’s blood.

”She will make for a good dessert after I finish eating you, human!”

The demon laughed loudly.

However, there was no response from Yuan, who silently stood there in a daze, almost like he’d turned into a stone statue.

Two streams of tears began flowing down his face a moment later when he realized the situation.

”Azure…”

Yuan eventually snapped out of his shock, and when he did, he gritted his teeth so hard that his mouth began bleeding.

”AAAAAAAAAAHHH!”

Yuan released a beastly roar that shook the trees around them before rushing at the demon without any movement techniques.

He was simply rushing at the demon in a reckless manner.

In fact, he wasn’t even thinking at all, as his mind was filled with anger and desperation.

Sha!

The demon slashed its claw-like hands at Yuan, and because of its recent feast, its power had grown much more than previously, sending Yuan flying many meters into the distance.

Cough!

Yuan coughed out a mouthful of blood afterward, but he immediately stood up before rushing at the demon once again.

The demon quickly noticed Yuan’s sudden change in behavior, and it turned to look at Azure’s body on the ground.

”Oh? Did you know her? Perhaps she was your lover? What a pity. If I had known that earlier, I would’ve kept her alive so that I could torture her before you.” The demon sighed in a regretful manner.

When Yuan heard the demon’s words, he felt something snap somewhere inside his body, and intense killing intent would gush from his body.

At this moment, Yuan could no longer think properly, but his body continued to function purely on instinct.

Yuan dropped the sword in his hand the next second.

When the demon saw this, it laughed, ”Are you giving up already? Aren’t you going to avenge your girlfriend? What a pathetic existence you are even for a lowly human.”

However, the next moment, a beautiful sword would appear out of thin air before falling into Yuan’s grasp, and this sword greatly resembled his Empyrean Overlord from Cultivation Online.

The second this sword appeared in this world, it released a divine aura that sucked all of the spiritual energy from the immortal caves almost instantly, turning the place into an ordinary location.

”Where the hell did you pull that thing from?” The demon could sense an unfathomable power hidden within the sword, but it wasn’t scared.

After all, no matter how powerful the sword was, its wielder was powerless.

Once the sword was in Yuan’s grasp, he immediately rushed at the demon again.

Bang!

The demon used its claws to block the sword, but the massive sword was countless times heavier than it appeared, and it tore right through its claws before slashing the demon’s body in half.

And before the demon could even have a chance to regenerate, it felt something pierce its face, creating a gaping hole in its head.

’Where did that attack come from? I didn’t see anything…’ The demon wondered to itself as its body quickly regenerated until all of its injuries were healed.

Yuan would continue his mindless assault on the demon, but no matter how many times he slashed the demon’s body in half or tore a hole in its head, the demon would regenerate until there’s not even a single scratch on its body.

”Are you done yet?” The demon casually patted its shoulders, clearly unaffected by Yuan’s attacks.

”Then it’s my turn.”

The demon released its cultivation and started attacking Yuan aggressively, quickly overpowering Yuan.

”Even though you’d gained more strength, you’re actually weaker than before. What a disappointment. Allow me to end your worthless life right now!”

The demon suddenly grew a tail made out of blood before using it as a weapon, and because of Yuan’s mindless state, he was unable to defend against this sneak attack.

The demon’s tail pierced the center of Yuan’s chest the next second.

Cough!

Yuan coughed out another mouthful of blood, and because of the intense pain in his chest, he snapped out of his daze, but it was too late, as there was already a hole in his chest.

The demon swung its tail, sending Yuan flying across the place once again.

However, Yuan didn’t stand back up this time and remained lying on the cold ground, as he’d completely lost his consciousness, falling deep asleep.

Inside his dream that started the moment he lost consciousness, Yuan stood before Azure’s figure, who was sitting on the boulder with her back facing him.

”You broke your promise to protect me, Yuan,” Azure spoke to him in a gentle voice.

”I’m sorry… I’m really sorry...” Yuan could only mutter these few words as tears flowed from his eyes.

”Haaa…” Azure merely sighed in response.

”If only I was stronger… If only I gave you a proper answer… If only—!” Yuan kneeled on the ground as he contemplated what he could’ve done to prevent this situation.

After a moment of silence, a voice resounded, but it didn’t belong to Azure.

”Losing to such a weak demon… Truly pathetic...”

Yuan lifted his head to look at the handsome man standing behind him, but there was something different about this handsome man and his aura, and he was wearing a black and golden robe that had the words ’Bane of Demons’ on it.

”Go ahead. Laugh at me for being weak like you always do. I deserve it.” Yuan said.

However, the handsome man didn’t laugh, nor did he say anything, merely staring at Yuan with a solemn face.

After a long moment of silence, the handsome man lifted his hand and pointed it in front of Yuan.

”Stand up and fight it,” he spoke in a calm voice.

Yuan turned his head to see the demon standing not far away from him, and it was approaching Azure, who was still sitting on the boulder.

Seeing this, Yuan shook his head, ”What’s the point? I won’t defeat it no matter what.”

”I said stand up!”

The handsome man suddenly roared, and Yuan could feel an invisible force pulling him to his feet.

Once Yuan was standing, the handsome man suddenly took a step forward, walking straight into Yuan.

Yuan expected the handsome man to bump into him, but to his surprise, almost as though his body was made out of air, the handsome man walked through his body before disappearing from his sight.

The next moment, Yuan could feel his body moving, but he was not the one controlling it, and he began approaching the demon in the distance.

Meanwhile, in the real world, as the demon approached Yuan’s unconscious body, it suddenly stopped moving when it noticed Yuan’s body twitching.

”Not dead yet?” The demon sneered before aiming its tail at Yuan’s head.

However, right before the tail reached his head, Yuan’s hand suddenly moved to grab the demon’s tail, stopping it an inch away from his head.

The demon didn’t think anything of his movements at first, but then its body began trembling for some reason.

The next moment, it noticed that its tail was beginning to feel stiff, almost as though it was turning solid.

The demon’s eyes widened with terror when it felt this familiar feeling, and it subconsciously cut off its tail before jumping backward.

”You fucking bastard…” The demon muttered in a low voice as it watched the tail that it’d severed turn into stone a second later.

”You can use demon sealing techniques?! Who are you?!” The demon roared at Yuan, who was slowly getting back to his feet.

Once he was standing, Yuan casually patted his clothes before speaking in a calm voice, ”You don’t recognize me? And you call yourself a demon?”

Yuan lifted his head to face the demon with a slight grin on his face.

”I cannot remember the last time I snacked on a demon core, nor do I recall their taste. Perhaps you can help me remember, lowly demon..” Yuan then licked his lips like a starved man craving food.
