After the flash of the sword.
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch once again transformed back into the appearance of the middle-aged man from before and looked at the group with a sinister smile:
âHeheâ¦â
âMerely a few childrenâ¦â
Having said that, he then spoke to Dai Mao:
âGoodâ¦â
âOnce I have recovered, I will naturally help you get rid of them.â
Continuing, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch said to Dai Mao:
âNow, let go of your mind. I will take control of your body first and help you kill them.â
âOtherwise, if they end up destroying your body later on, I wonât be able to help you.â
âYou know that the power I can exert right now is limitedâ¦â
âOf courseâ¦â
Having said this, Dai Mao directly relinquished the control of his mind and said to the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch:
âSenior, comeâ¦â
After speaking, Dai Mao immediately closed his eyes, waiting for the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch to enter his body.
Meanwhile, a ghastly glow flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, who laughed eerily at Dai Mao:
âHehehe⦠I am comingâ¦â
After speaking, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch instantly rushed into Dai Maoâs body.
However, as soon as the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch entered Dai Maoâs body, Dai Mao felt excruciating pain.
âAaaahâ¦â
Accompanied by a piercing scream, Dai Mao rolled on the ground clutching his head.
And from his mouth came agonizing cries:
âHeavenly Desire Senior, what are you doing?â
âI trusted you so much, yet you are trying to possess me.â
Then, from within Dai Maoâs body, came the voice of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch:
âHeheheâ¦â
âDid you really think I didnât know what you were thinking?â
âTo devour me, you donât have the strengthâ¦â
Only then did Dai Mao suddenly realize the truth. His eyes bloodshot, he roared:
âHeavenly Desire old thief, you lied to meâ¦â
âYou were never afraid of that talisman.â
However, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch simply said:
âHeheâ¦â
âYou are far too naive.â
âIf I hadnât revealed a weakness, you probably would never have let me out.â
âAs for now, use your body to fulfill my aim.â
Having finished speaking, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch transformed back into a black demonic Qi, completely enveloping Dai Mao.
And within the black demonic Qi, Dai Mao wailed in agony:
âAaaahâ¦â
âHeavenly Desire Demon Monarch, you will not die a good deathâ¦â
Yet, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch showed no annoyance but instead began to console Dai Mao:
âDonât worry, after I have possessed you, I will definitely kill those people to avenge you.â
âAfter all, we have had so many years of pitting our wits against each otherâ¦â
âAaaah⦠I am filled with hatredâ¦â
At this moment, bulging veins appeared on Dai Maoâs forehead; his entire eyes were filled with blood, with tears of blood continuously flowing down from the cornersâ¦
Clearly, he was experiencing extreme pain.
At such a critical moment, the group couldnât just sit and wait for death.
Lu Youjiu immediately took the gourd from his waist, opened it, and took a swig. Instantly, his aura surged dramatically.
And then.
Lu Youjiu spoke up, directly saying to Lin Jing and the others:
âNowâs the time, kill himâ¦â
Having finished speaking, Lu Youjiu hurled a sword energy strike towards Dai Mao.
Hearing the conversation between those two just now, Lu Youjiu understood that the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch seemed to be restricted, unable to fully utilize his true power without a body.
To deal with the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, they must first destroy Dai Maoâs body.
Besides Lu Youjiu, Yan Wanfei and Holaw Three Rivers also took action.
Yan Wanfeiâs aura burst forth, and behind him, a massive ox head phantom emerged.
Immediately following, the silver-white long spear in Yan Wanfeiâs hands was unleashed, striking towards Dai Mao who was shrouded in the middle by the dark mist.
And Holaw Three Rivers also threw a few formation flags towards Dai Mao, intending to trap him.
However, whether it was Yan Wanfeiâs long spear or Holaw Three Riversâ formation flags, none could get close to Dai Mao, as they were frozen in place, unable to move.
Even the sword energy from Lu Youjiu was pinched and obliterated by a hand extended from âDai Mao,â then dissipated into nothingness.
By now, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch had gained control over Dai Maoâs body and was probably close to completing the possession.
âHeheâ¦â
âWith just you few trying to ambush me at this moment, you are really overestimating yourselves. Once the possession is complete, your doom will come.â
âNot one of you will be able to escape.â
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was far too powerful; with their cultivation, they could not affect him at all.
However, just then, Lin Jing took action.
The reason Lin Jing was slower to act than Lu Youjiu and the others was because.
Until just now, he had finally realized what exactly was in that black Demonic Qi transformed by the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
It was a spell, akin to a Five Elements Divine Light.
Moreover, this spell was extremely powerful,
Even more so than the aura of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch itself.
And.
After witnessing the failed attacks of Lu Youjiu and the others, Lin Jing knew that with his attack, he definitely would have no effect just like the others.
And this Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was too powerful.
Therefore, after sensing the spell that shared the same origin as the Five Elements Divine Art, Lin Jing decided to take a risk.
If he could trigger the explosion of the Five Elements Divine Art spell that lingered within the Demonic Qi of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, then even if the Demon Lord did not die, he would be severely injured.
So.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Jing charged forward directly.
He wanted to control the spell in the black fog that originated from the Five Elements Divine Art, so he needed to get close to the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
Only by getting closer could Lin Jing better seize control.
However, just as Lin Jing charged forward,
that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch let out a cold sneer:
âHmph!â
âOverestimating your own abilities, a mere Body Refinement Cultivator rushing at me alone, I see youâve grown tired of living. Once I completely take over Dai Maoâs body, you will be the first one I devour.â
Upon witnessing Lin Jingâs action,
Lu Youjiu, Yan Wanfei, and Holaw Three Rivers all changed their expressions drastically.
âBrother Linâ¦â
âLin Daoyouâ¦â
âBrother Lin, you must notâ¦â
All three called out at the same time.
Nevertheless, Lin Jing did not stop.
Soon, as he was about to approach Dai Mao, Lin Jing suddenly stopped.
At this moment, all the black Demonic Qi had entered Dai Maoâs body, and his eyes had returned to normal, even his gaze was gradually becoming calm.
Lin Jing knew that the Heavenly Desire Demon Lord was close to successfully seizing the body.
At that moment, the Demon Lord looked at him with disdain and sneered coldly.
Without any hesitation, Lin Jing immediately circulated the Immortal Five Elements Technique and then stimulated the Five Elements Divine Art, attacking the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
When the Demon Lord saw the appearance of the colorful lights, he was first stunned, and then his eyes filled with terror.
âFive Elements Divine Artâ¦â
âFive Elements⦠how could you possibly know the Five Elementsâ¦â
âImpossible⦠Absolutely impossibleâ¦â
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch seemed to be greatly agitated, repeating these words over and over, his voice becoming increasingly shrill.
After Lin Jing activated the Immortal Five Elements Technique, he clearly felt the familiar spell within Dai Maoâs body.
It was indeed the remnants of the Five Elements Divine Art.
It was very possible that this Heavenly Desire Demon Lord had encountered someone who had cultivated the Five Elements Divine Art and sealed them.
As Lin Jing employed the Five Elements Divine Art and the Five Elements Divine Light appeared, he distinctly felt the leftover Five Elements Divine Art begin to stir inside Dai Maoâs body.
The Heavenly Desire Demon Lord, seeing the Divine Light, was so frightened that he forgot to defend and hurriedly tried to control Dai Maoâs body, which he had not yet fully seized, to flee.
However, Lin Jing had no intention of letting him go.
As the Five Elements Divine Light merged with the aura of the Five Elements Divine Art in the grey fog,
Lin Jing discovered that he could actually temporarily control the group of Five Elements Divine Light.
And, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch realized this as well.
He immediately screamed in panic.
âAhâ¦â
âImpossible, how can you control the spell he left behind?â
When the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch felt the Five Elements Divine Art spell in the grey fog beginning to move,
he instantly understood Lin Jingâs intention and frantically exclaimed:
âWhat are you going to do, noâ¦â
Nevertheless, without any hesitation, Lin Jing simply uttered a single word:
âExplode!â
Immediately, the Five Elements Divine Art spell inside Dai Maoâs body erupted.
Countless rays of colorful light burst forth from Dai Maoâs body.
Although Dai Maoâs body was not completely shattered by the explosion, it was almost there.
And, Dai Maoâs blasted open body also revealed the true form of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch inside, which was the cluster of black Demonic Qi.
At this point, the black Demonic Qi had become incredibly tenuous, almost transparent.
The power of this Five Elements Divine Art spell was truly terrifying.
At that moment, the previously scattered black Demonic Qi began to coalesce once again.
Lin Jingâs brow furrowed, and as he prepared to employ the Five Elements Divine Art once more,
he saw the black fog, along with Dai Maoâs battered body, vanish directly.
âYou all wait, once I have fully recovered, I will exterminate you allâ¦â
Just then, several people turned around and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
They saw the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch had already appeared on the edge of Li Yan Island, far away from them.
Just as they were about to pursue, the Demon Monarch had disappeared.
Only his last words floated in the air:
âAnd that kid who cultivates the Five Elements Divine Art, someday, I will make you wish you were deadâ¦â
After the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch left, those who remained looked at each other.
Soon, they gathered together.
Yan Wanfei then spoke:
âBrother Jiu, what should we do next?â
Lu Youjiu looked in the direction the Demon Monarch had fled, his brow furrowed.
Having the demon escape was the last thing they wanted, yet even with their combined Cultivation, they were no match for the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
âThis is becoming troublesomeâ¦â Holaw Three Rivers also spoke at this time.
Lu Youjiu then said to the others:
âWe need to discuss this properly now.â
âOkayâ¦â everyone nodded.
At that moment, Lin Jing thought of the two little girls he had placed on another island and spoke:
âIâll go get those two young ladies and bring them back.â
Lu Youjiu nodded, then said:
