Chapter 228 Demon Lord Aston_2

One after another, terrifying electrical arcs resembling massive pythons chaotically surged, inflicting devastating blows to the area within 500 meters of the Greater Demon's crash site.

The demons with cultivation levels below that of Soul Saints turned to ash in an instant.

The Soul Saints fared slightly better, but they too were reduced to charred figures.

It was only the demons comparable to or above the level of Soul Douluo who could luckily escape.

However,

even the aftermath of the battle was enough to cause the fall of thousands of demons.

"Gurgle..."

"Even the residual effects of this battle are stronger than my full-force strike..."

Snakelance Douluo swallowed hard and quickly sprang into action.

He hadn't forgotten the instructions Qin Xiao gave him earlier, to help everyone resist the attack of the demons.

Now that Qin Xiao had ended the battle, was it not a bit excessive to still be standing idly by?

"Eh, this is quite interesting. The power of the demons I've killed doesn't dissipate but is instead drawn in by an invisible force, merging into my body?"

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes.

He could distinctly feel that, after annihilating two Greater Demons, his cultivation level had greatly increased.

At this rate, Qin Xiao felt that he didn't need much more; killing two or three more powerful Greater Demons would see his cultivation progress even further.

"Let me try again."

Qin Xiao could no longer contain his eager heart. He scanned his surroundings and finally fixed his gaze on the Greater Demon who was fighting with Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Golden Crocodile Douluo is struggling to cope with it. It's a good opportunity for me to lend him a hand and end the battle sooner."

With one step, he vanished on the spot.

...

"Ah, if it weren't for my severe injuries right now, how could I allow a level 97 demon to show off in front of me."

Golden Crocodile Douluo thought resentfully, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In the current state, his battle with the Greater Demon was evenly matched.

Even to say, if the fight continued, the outcome was still uncertain...

"Awoo."

The Greater Demon grew increasingly fierce in battle, and with an excited howl, the giant sword in its hand suddenly blazed with purple flames, its power surging, and then it swung down toward Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Damn it, this demon still had a trick up its sleeve!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils shrank sharply, unable to withstand the power of the strike, instinctively wanting to dodge and avoid the brunt of it.

Qin Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Don't be afraid."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the demon in front of him had used an illusion skill on him?

Yet, all he saw was a blur before his eyes as Qin Xiao used his teleporting skill, instantly standing in front of Golden Crocodile Douluo, reaching out a hand to catch the giant sword's strike.

"Ao ao ao..." The Greater Demon, seeing its attack blocked, howled angrily, continuously increasing its strength.

Strangely enough, Qin Xiao stood immovable like a towering mountain. No matter how hard the Abyssal Demon tried, it couldn't shake Qin Xiao in the slightest.

"You go help the other Soul Masters. Leave this guy to me."

Qin Xiao said to Golden Crocodile Douluo, his back still to him, then threw a punch, unleashing a colossal force that traveled up the giant sword and into the Greater Demon's body. Immediately, the sword flew out of the Greater Demon's control and shot away at an angle.

"Swoosh!"

Before the Greater Demon could react, Qin Xiao teleported in front of it, his fist wrapped in lightning bolts as he struck heavily upon the Greater Demon's head.

"Ao ao ao..."

The Greater Demon was instantly howling in pain.

No matter the circumstance, using one's head to intercept Qin Xiao's fists had never been a wise choice.

"Damn, is it really that simple and brutal?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes bulged.

Qin Xiao's attacks, devoid of any finesse, were nothing but raw, punch-to-flesh power.

Seeing a Greater Demon hammered into howling, its aura growing weaker and weaker, he couldn't fathom just how strong Qin Xiao's physical body was.

"Damn humans, stop right now!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with shock and fury shook the heavens.

Then, a powerful demon, its body engulfed in purple flames, approached at a startling speed.

Qin Xiao, on the other hand, seemed as if he hadn't heard the voice at all, continuing to attack the Greater Demon.

His hands clamped onto the Greater Demon's head, and with a powerful twist, he directly wrenched the head off.

After doing all this, Qin Xiao, holding the head of the Greater Demon, looked toward the approaching figure and said with a smile, "Sorry, you're too late. The living one you can't take back anymore, but I wonder if you don't mind taking the dead one?"

It must be said that the approaching figure was more than a notch stronger than the Greater Demon.

Even more powerful than Alba, who died by his hand.

According to Qin Xiao's estimation, this should be a Demon Lord.

And in the Demonic Plane, they are not subjected to any suppression and can exert their combat power at 100%.

"You, you insignificant worm, is this your attitude in the presence of the great Demon Lord Aston?"

The powerful voice of the Demon Lord was extremely cold, as he stood not too far from Qin Xiao.

"Then how should my attitude be?"

"Should I offer you a toast?"

Qin Xiao said disdainfully, curling his lip and then unhesitatingly tossed the head of a Greater Demon from his hand.

"Anyway, I do not want it, whether you want it or not."

His tone was filled with contempt.

Aston's eyes blazed with towering rage, "You truly deserve to die!"

He reached out his hand and a Purple-Golden Greatsword, burning with flames, appeared, and without hesitation, he charged toward Qin Xiao.

"Do all you Abyssal Demons have some sort of obsession with these trinkets?"

Qin Xiao muttered, also retrieving an item from the System Space.

It was the same weapon as the Purple-Golden Greatsword in the hands of Demon Lord Aston.

This was Qin Xiao's battle power after defeating Alba.

Of course, this weapon belonged to a demon, and it was far from reaching the level of a Divine Artifact, so even when wielded by a human, it couldn't unleash much power.

But still.

Its ability to intimidate wasn't strong, yet its insult was immense.

"Wait!"

"That in your hand, is it Alba's sword? What happened to him?"

Aston's actions abruptly halted.

It had to be said that the weapon in Qin Xiao's hand imposed a great intimidation on him.

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes," Aston replied, strangely silent for a moment.

"Well then, I will send you to meet him now."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he swung his Purple-Golden Greatsword towards Aston.

A feeling in his heart told him that if he could slay the Demon Lord before him, his cultivation level would receive a massive boost.

...

Elsewhere,

The Spirit Emperor returned to the abyssal plane and headed directly to the first layer without any obstacles.

Not only was the Abyssal Sage King waiting, but the lords of the first ten layers of the abyss were also present.

"Spirit Emperor, you've returned so quickly?"

"Has there been some kind of emergency?"

"I've always said that there is nothing good about humans, they must have used some schemes to deceive us again!"

"..."

"All of you shut up, let's hear what the Spirit Emperor has to say."

The figure holding a Square Sky Halberd, his whole body ablaze as if with fire, shouted, and immediately the room fell silent.

"Sage King, my journey has been quite fruitful. I have truly learned that Soul Land is just as fragile as that deity named Tang San has said."

"In that world, there are only ordinary people without much combat power everywhere. This cannot be compared to our abyssal plane, where around us, 108 layers... no, now it should be said 107 layers, which can't fight?"

The Spirit Emperor began recounting the overall situation of Soul Land.

"Oh, if that's the case, then even better."

The Abyssal Sage King replied softly, asking, "What about the power of their strong ones?"

"There are only a few hundred thousand Soul Masters who can cultivate, and they are scattered all over Soul Land. If there is any surprise, they cannot gather in time."

"The three most powerful forces on Soul Land are Tiandou, Xingluo, and Spirit City. If we destroy these three powers in an instant, Soul Land will immediately turn into scattered sand..."

The Spirit Emperor had already thought of a strategy.

"I remember Tang San also mentioned that there is another deity on Soul Land who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Did you manage to find any trace of him?"

After listening to the Abyssal Sage King, the Spirit Emperor's gaze flickered, shaking his head somewhat helplessly, "Sage King, your subordinate is incompetent. I did not discover that deity Tang San spoke of."

The Abyssal Sage King waved his hand, "This is not your fault. If a god wishes to hide, it's extremely easy. So, do you want us to send our troops now?"
