Chapter 815 - Demonic Python Suppressing Seal

Qi Xue’s expression changed slightly.

She had known that her left guardian would be no match for Chen Fan, but even she hadn’t expected the defeat to be so swift and brutal.

For a moment, she wondered if keeping Chen Fan on her side earlier might have changed her fate. With his support, perhaps she could have reached the third round.

But Qi Xue quickly dismissed the thought.

Offending the third demon general, Dou Yan, for Chen Fan would have been an incredibly reckless move.

After killing the left guardian with one spear thrust, Chen Fan strode toward the other guardian.

Under the overwhelming pressure, the guardian’s face turned pale. Stumbling back two steps, he stammered, “I surrender.”

He was only at the peak of the eighth-level Heavenly Star realm. How could he possibly be a match for Chen Fan?

Seeing her guardian surrender in fear, Qi Xue’s expression became even more chilly, but she said nothing.

The reality was undeniable—stubborn resistance would only lead to death.

“Very well,” Qi Xue said, rising to her feet and stepping forward. A powerful wave of demonic energy radiated from her.

With the guardians defeated, the demon general would have to compete.

Conceding now would leave her ranked fourteenth—a result she could not accept.

“You feel bitter because I abandoned you, right?” Qi Xue’s eyes were frigid. “But in the demon sect, what good is bitterness?”

She stepped forward once more, and her demonic might became even more terrifying. Her oppressive gaze was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Her gaze swept over Chen Fan before settling on Yan Shuiyi. Qi Xue shouted coldly, “Yan Shuiyi, step forward.”

This battle would pit her against three opponents. She had no choice; still, fear was not in her nature.

Qi Xue had clawed her way to the top from the bottom with her strength. Did Chen Fan think he could defeat her by killing her guardians? What a joke!

She intended to show him that indignation was meaningless before absolute power. His so-called pride would only invite mockery.

Yan Shuiyi did not need Qi Xue to call her out. She had already stepped onto the battlefield.

Whoever lost in this battle would be eliminated, becoming the fourteenth demon general.

She was well aware that the possibility of her losing was higher.

Chen Fan was an expert with unparalleled combat strength, but Qi Xue was a top-tier, peak Heavenly Star realm expert. Even with two peak Heavenly Star realm experts on her side, Yan Shuiyi still felt victory wasn’t certain.

Chen Fan was very strong, but could a guardian ever be as strong as a demon general?

Despite these odds, Yan Shuiyi felt a sense of satisfaction.

Under normal circumstances, she would have ranked dead last again. Yet, she had secured a spot in the top fourteen now.

“I’ll be the main attacker. You two support me,” Yan Shuiyi told Chen Fan and the other guardian.

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered. He smiled and answered, “Alright.”

Dong!

Qi Xue took a step forward, and the ground seemed to quake beneath her feet. A crushing wave of terrifying demonic might erupted from her. She said with a cold, proud voice, “Yan Shuiyi, are you even worthy of fighting me!”

As her voice fell, countless streams of demonic light gathered around her. The lights transformed into numerous demonic pythons that coiled menacingly around her, looking incomparably domineering.

Qi Xue’s cold gaze landed on Chen Fan, overflowing with killing intent.

“I spared you in the first round. But now, facing me directly, do you still think you’ll survive?”

Without waiting for a response, the demonic pythons surged forward, radiating demonic qi as they tore through the void, hurtling toward Chen Fan.

“Be careful.” Yan Shuiyi’s expression turned grave.

She was at the peak of the Heavenly Star realm, but the gap between her and Qi Xue was vast. Facing Qi Xue’s attack, she felt great pressure.

Demonic primeval stirred, transforming into a demonic shield. A dark, impenetrable light radiated from it, resembling an indestructible fortress.

Boom, tch!

However, Qi Xue’s attack near-instantly smashed the demonic shield. That demonic python intact, hurtling straight for Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was unfazed. Channeling his cultivation, he unleashed a Northern Star Reaper Hand. Its three fingers, the pillars of the sky, flew toward that demonic python.

Rumble!

That demonic python wailed in anguish. The Northern Star Reaper Hand destroyed it, reducing it to immense demonic qi.

Boom.

Qi Xue’s expression did not change at all, and she continued walking forward.

Her overwhelming demonic might bore down on Yan Shuiyi’s remaining guardian, leaving him gasping for air with a pale face.

“Those who betray me shall die!” Qi Xue was like a female demon goddess, looking down on the world.

The chilling frost radiating from her piercingly cold eyes seemed capable of freezing heaven and earth. Rays of terrifying demonic light shot forth like meteorites.

“Kill me? You’re not worthy!” said Chen Fan, not showing the slightest hint of fear.

With a single palm strike, he conjured a colossal hand that loomed over the battlefield, tearing through the air with a deafening roar.

Rumble!

Yan Shuiyi and Chen Fan’s combined forces resisted Qi Xue’s attack.

“Interesting. Although his cultivation is at the seventh level, he isn’t weak. I’m afraid his combat strength is comparable to someone at the peak of the Heavenly Star realm. Qi Xue had an eye for talent, though it’s unfortunate he crossed the third demon general.”

“That’s right. If Chen Fan had stayed loyal to her, she might have climbed even higher in the rankings.”

Some demon generals exchanged astonished glances as the battle unfolded.

Although Qi Xue’s guardians were defeated, no one thought she would stop there. As the tenth demon general, she was one of the strongest among the twenty-eight.

The onlookers had thought that, against Qi Xue, Yan Shuiyi and her guardians would be defeated quickly. Yet, the reality before them painted a very different picture.

Qi Xue’s expression changed slightly. Her last attack contained overwhelming power. It was not something ordinary peak Heavenly Star realm experts could withstand.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But somehow, Chen Fan and Yan Shuiyi’s combined strength had withstood it. Her expression turned ugly.

“

Hmph

, die!” Cold light shot out of Qi Xue’s eyes. With a wave of her hands, she unleashed her demonic art, sending an overwhelming force surging through the heavens. Several demonic pythons swept out, circling in the air intimidatingly.

Pointing directly at Chen Fan, she commanded, “Demonic Python Suppressing Seal!”

Immediately, the demonic pythons circling in the air roared furiously to the sky, the sound shaking the heavens.

Roar, roar, roar...

In a synchronized motion, the serpents clamped their jaws around one another’s tails, forming an immense, unbroken circle that suppressed heaven and earth.

This large seal pressed down. The air exploded from the crushing force. Rumbling noises rang out continuously, like countless firecrackers igniting in rapid succession.

Rumble.

Rumble.

Yan Shuiyi sensed a terrifying pressure. Her face paled slightly, feeling like she could not channel her demonic art smoothly.
