Chapter 769: Celestial Snake Frenzy Dance, Demon Power

Shen Lang was determined to claim the Demon Power within Mu Feng!

But Mu Feng’s current strength was beyond imagination, far surpassing even the Rock Demon Lord from the battle in the Stone Forest.

Moreover, the toughness of his physical body was simply inconceivable.

This was evident from the fact that two powerful experts from the Imperial Dragon Sect had previously launched their strongest attacks, yet failed to inflict any damage whatsoever.

Shen Lang’s Cultivation had also improved significantly since the Stone Forest, but whether he could handle the demonized Mu Feng remained an open question.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Shen Lang had to go all out and unleash his full potential!

Otherwise, he might not only lose, but die!

There was absolutely no room for error in this battle!

Mu Feng’s blood-red eyes darted around, and he tilted his head slightly.

Shen Lang snorted coldly. “Duanmu Xie will not interfere, you can rest assured. This is a battle between you and me. No one else will get involved.”

Mu Feng said nothing, but the terrifyingly tyrannical aura around him continued to surge.

Within the somewhat dim passageway, he seemed to stand like a world-spanning Demon, causing the distant onlookers to tremble in fear.

One by one, they subconsciously wanted to get as far away as possible…

A look of grim, do-or-die determination appeared in Shen Lang’s eyes as he too began to channel his power. A great battle was imminent!

At that moment, in the distance, Duanmu Xie was hunting down eight experts at the Seventh or Eighth of Heaven of the King Martial Realm. The airflow in the passage roiled, and the sounds of explosions echoed incessantly!

Hiding at the entrance of the passage, the faces of Nangong Wan and her three companions were pale. They had Monk Bu Se in front, holding a Golden Round Alms Bowl that projected a Golden Light Barrier.

The other three pressed their hands against Monk Bu Se’s back, desperately resisting the storm of Energy.

Surging waves of Corpse Qi and various Energy impacts constantly bombarded the Golden Light Barrier, causing the golden light to ripple continuously.

“Amitabha. My three old friends, may this humble monk ask if he is permitted to curse?”

Monk Bu Se asked with a miserable expression.

Nangong Wan shot him a glare. “The hell you can! If you want to curse, wait until you’re away from us! That way, Duanmu Xie will only kill you and won’t drag us down with him!”

“Focus! I don’t care about the others, but that Duanmu Xie is no small matter. Don’t let his Corpse Qi touch us, or we’ll be screwed if we get wiped out too!”

“Dammit, you all kept me in the dark for so long! None of you told me he was *that* kid!”

Upon seeing Duanmu Xie, Nangong Wan finally understood that the man with the Ghost Mask was Shen Lang.

That fiend Duanmu Xie’s name now shook the Imperial Capital; everyone knew he followed Shen Lang.

When Nangong Wan saw Duanmu Xie appear, she was stunned speechless for a good while.

If there was only one name from recent times that every expert from the major Sects would remember, it would undoubtedly be “Shen Lang.”

The boy who had caused a great disturbance in the Imperial Capital, turning the entire city upside down…

The guy who forced the Celestial Swordsman, an Emperor Martial Realm expert from Celestial Sword Mountain, to go into hiding… had he actually come to the Dragon Scale Divine Hall wearing an Evil Ghost Mask?

Thinking about the things she had done to him and the words she had said… Nangong Wan’s heart was a-swirl with a myriad of emotions.

Even though the man with the Ghost Mask had saved her life, Nangong Wan still wasn’t entirely convinced by him.

As for Shen Lang, whom she had never met but whose name was incredibly familiar… Nangong Wan had not only long wanted to meet him, but also to thank him in person.

Because of Shen Lang’s relationship with Nanfeng Yao, Nangong Wan’s status in the Imperial Dragon Sect—as Nanfeng Yao’s aunt—had also risen accordingly.

On the eve of entering the Yumu Cave Blessed Land, an Elder Ancestor from the Imperial Dragon Sect had even given her a treasured and powerful Magical Treasure for self-defense and had spent a great deal of time personally instructing her… This was something that had almost never happened before!

Nangong Wan never would have imagined that the man with the Ghost Mask was actually Shen Lang!

And before, she had tried to ambush Shen Lang, only to get fiercely kicked in return…

Nangong Wan looked at Monk Bu Se’s shiny, bald head, and murderous intent flared in her eyes!

‘It’s all this Lustful Monk’s fault. He’s the reason I clashed with Shen Lang!’

Monk Bu Se, who was using all his might to maintain the barrier, felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, “Hey, hey, what do you think you’re doing, you crazy woman? You’re not trying to blame me for what happened between you and my martial grand-uncle, are you? This humble monk didn’t do anything so universally despised! This is all your own doing!”

“Junior Sister!” one of the men beside her said, shooting Nangong Wan a cold glare and a sharp rebuke.

Nangong Wan pouted, feeling utterly wronged, but suppressed her urge to deal with Monk Bu Se.

In just that short time, Duanmu Xie had already crushed the eight experts from the Demon God Hall to death, even capturing their Nascent Souls.

The title of Zombie Emperor was clearly not just for show.

Fortunately, although this fiend was a titan of the Demon Dao, he had long been subdued by Shen Lang. Otherwise, the four of them here would have certainly met the same fate as the eight corpses over there.

At this thought, Nangong Wan and the others couldn’t help but gasp.

Corpse Qi billowed through the passageway as Duanmu Xie effortlessly collected the eight Nascent Souls, standing like a Giant in the middle of the corridor.

Without his movements stirring the air, the pressure on Nangong Wan’s group instantly dissipated, and the four of them let out a long sigh of relief in unison!

“Hmm?”

Duanmu Xie glanced with some disgust at the golden light shield held up by Monk Bu Se. The corners of his mouth split into a grin, revealing sharp fangs, and he reached out to poke the shield!

Just as Monk Bu Se and the others began to relax, they saw a huge, black finger poking toward them and immediately cried out in terror.

“POP!”

As if popping a soap bubble, Duanmu Xie extinguished the shield the four of them were maintaining with a single finger.

Monk Bu Se and the other three grunted as they were sent flying, slamming hard against the back wall and getting knocked completely senseless.

“I hate this stuff!”

Duanmu Xie muttered, his body transforming into a black wind that shot past Shen Lang and Mu Feng to the other end of the passage, blocking the exit.

By now, the auras of both Shen Lang and Mu Feng seemed to have reached their absolute peak!

“My lord, this fiend carries the stench of an Abyss Demon. His body is still being consumed and assimilated by the Demon, and his power is still growing. Please be careful!”

Even Duanmu Xie couldn’t help but frown at the terrifying demonic aura emanating from Mu Feng.

“Hehehehe… As you wish!”

Seeing that Duanmu Xie was indeed standing by idly, Mu Feng sneered, no longer holding anything back!

A whirlwind swept through, and Mu Feng vanished. Only an afterimage, almost impossible to track with the naked eye, could be seen lunging at Shen Lang!

“Let’s fight!”

Shen Lang roared, and instead of retreating, he advanced to meet the attack!

“SKREEE!”

From the tip of Mu Feng’s Long Spear, a massive Celestial Serpent materialized. It swayed from side to side, then lunged toward Shen Lang with cunning viciousness, as if intending to swallow him whole!

This Celestial Serpent was clearly just an Energy construct and didn’t touch the ground, yet the passageway thundered with a RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE, as if a behemoth was trampling through!

The sheer power of its presence was dumbfounding!

The gigantic Celestial Serpent formed from Energy was so solid it seemed real, releasing the pressure of an Ancient Fierce Beast before it even reached Shen Lang.

It made Nangong Wan and the other three watching from behind look at each other, their faces paling!

For most Martial Artists, the head is a relatively fragile part of the body. Thus, Mu Feng’s very first attack aimed straight for Shen Lang’s head.

“This Mu Feng wants a quick victory! He’s using the ultimate technique of the White Bone Hall, ‘Celestial Snake Frenzy Dance,’ right from the start!”

Senior Brother Ouyang said nervously via Divine Thought.

Nangong Wan added, “Couldn’t he just have Duanmu Xie kill Mu Feng? Why does he have to fight himself? Is he a little overconfident? After all, Mu Feng has been demonized and has already reached the Half-Step Emperor Martial Realm!”

“And now he’s using ‘Celestial Snake Frenzy Dance’ right away… Mu Feng’s Martial Soul is a Celestial Serpent! This technique condenses the full power of his Martial Soul, combined with his Cultivation and that bizarre Demon Power…”

Nangong Wan transmitted via Divine Thought, a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Beside her, Monk Bu Se also showed a worried expression.

Previously, when Nangong Wan had been forced to flee for her life, and then Senior Brother Ouyang and the other had intervened, their full-powered attacks couldn’t even budge Mu Feng. Monk Bu Se, hiding in the bushes at the time, had seen it all clearly.

The Mu Feng before them was tainted by the power of an Abyss Demon, constantly undergoing Demonization and growing stronger. He had now reached the Peak of the King Martial Realm. Unless one was at the Emperor Martial Realm, an ordinary expert would stand no chance!

Although Monk Bu Se knew Shen Lang was powerful, his palms were sweating with cold sweat at this moment!

The few of them were all communicating via Divine Thought, but it all took place in the span of a single breath.

In that instant, the massive and violent Celestial Serpent appeared right in front of Shen Lang!

Before this enormous Celestial Serpent with its ferocious and tyrannical aura, Shen Lang seemed utterly insignificant…

“Get out of the way!”

Nangong Wan couldn’t help but shout.

At that very moment, Shen Lang finally moved!

“WHOOSH!”

Shen Lang’s previously motionless figure suddenly split into four, standing side-by-side in the passageway!

Not only Mu Feng, but even the four people behind him were momentarily stunned.

They couldn’t figure out if these were illusions or afterimages left by Shen Lang’s incredible speed!

Because under the sweep of their Divine Thought, all four figures seemed to be solid entities!

Unless they were clones, this was truly difficult to explain…

But if they were clones…

Everyone present knew that Shen Lang had only just advanced to the King Martial Realm not long ago. It was absolutely impossible for him to have cultivated clones in such a short period of time.

Let alone cultivating four such powerful clones!

As the onlookers stared in a brief daze, the seemingly sentient Celestial Serpent also hesitated for a moment, its charging speed faltering slightly.

At that very instant…

A soft shout rang out!

“Celestial Snake Frenzy Dance? Is that all you’ve got?”

Following this shout, the four Shen Langs swung their sabers simultaneously!

The four Shen Langs attacked from completely different positions. One chopped down at the Celestial Serpent’s head, another slashed upward toward its vital point, and another went straight for its gaping, bloody maw…

It was as if four clones were using different Cultivation Techniques and moves!

“CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!”

Four slashes, four crisp sounds. Four streaks of saber light formed a massive grid, trapping the Celestial Serpent’s enormous head in its center!
