How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 0712: Shadow of Death



The fear in the heart of the woman in red exceeded her hatred, making her unexpectedly calm.

She was skilled in the Illusion Path. If she were to put forth her real abilities, she could temporarily trap Chen Yu, but killing him was almost impossible.

From the recent clash, she had already gauged the impressive defensive power of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu suddenly made a move, reached out with his hand, and beside the woman in red, the Primordial Qi churned, forming a Sky-reaching Demon Hand that struck down with a smack.

Swoosh!

The woman in red leaped up, surrounded by drifting pink mist. Like a butterfly among flowers, she soared into the air, evading the attack.

Though Chen Yu had struck, he had not dealt a killing blow.

His intention was to draw out all those hidden observers. Thus, he needed to maintain the sounds of battle, continuously attracting others while also practicing his skills.

Chen Yu's spiritual communication with the nearby Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi helped him comprehend the natural environment. Each punch and kick he executed chased the woman in red and prevented her from using her powerful spiritual Illusion Techniques.

The woman in red did not flee. Filled with hatred, the commotion would soon draw others to this place.

Sure enough.

From afar, a layer of purple shadow forcefully pressed down amidst the storm, with a dark purple figure visible at the center.

Though the figure could not be seen clearly, the woman in red instantly recognized the identity of the newcomer.

"Purple-clothed Demon He Yunwang!"

Among those who had arrived second in the mountain hinterlands, there were only so many people.

Moreover, He Yunwang was well-known from the "List of Heaven's Pride" and easily recognized by the woman in red.

"Chen Yu, your troubles are far from over!"

Her expression changed abruptly, turning somewhat fierce; her inner fear also dissipated considerably.

"Is that so?"

Chen Yu's mouth curled into a cold smile.

Now that another had arrived, there was no need to hold back.

Chen Yu mobilized his bodily strength, resonating with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. The demonic intent spread out, and he executed the Swallowing Cloud Demon Fist.

Boom!

A massive black-fisted shadow swallowed up the Primordial Qi, transforming into a colossal mountain that smashed forward.

Faced with Chen Yu's full-force hit, the woman in red's body tensed up in fear, only then realizing that Chen Yu had been concealing his true strength until now.

In a critical moment, she bit her finger, blood scattered, and she rapidly manipulated her spells.

Hum hum!

Around her body, the pink mist condensed into a series of ribbons, enveloping her within.

Bang!

The Demon Fist landed, and the layers of pink ribbons wrapped the woman in red, flinging her backward toward the Purple-clothed Demon He Yunwang.

He Yunwang disregarded the woman in red, focusing his fierce gaze on Chen Yu. "Chen Yu, you thought that by advancing to the Sky Sea Realm, you would not face danger, so you dared to come here?"

To him, Chen Yu's action was equivalent to not taking him seriously.

"That's right."

Chen Yu intentionally infuriated He Yunwang.

Of course, that was more or less what he was thinking.

At this moment, from two other directions, the Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth surged, pressing down with its mighty force.

"Chen Yu, you actually killed my cousin. Today, I must take your head!" A roaring voice thundered over, reverberating like rolling thunder.

The speaker had a tall and burly figure, also wearing a hat.

From the situation, it seemed that the hatted man Chen Yu had accidentally killed at the beginning was his cousin.

"Chen Yu, you won't escape your doom today!"

From another direction, two Sky Sea Realm practitioners flew over.

Both were from the Heavenly Jade Sect, and Chen Yu recognized only Senior Fan among them.

The tall man beside Senior Fan slightly relaxed upon assessing the situation.

Suddenly, four Sky Sea Realm practitioners converged on the scene!

Not far from the nearby woods, the woman in red rose, her clothes tattered, revealing almost her entire rosy and lustrous bosom.

"Haha, Chen Yu, this is all your own doing!"

The woman in red laughed somewhat maniacally.

Including her, there were five Sky Sea Realm practitioners present on the scene. How could Chen Yu possibly have any chance of survival?

"Attack!"

Senior Fan shouted coldly, and together with the tall young man, they were the first to strike.

With only five people on the scene, where his and his junior's team were the strongest, if they killed Chen Yu, they would certainly reap the most benefits.

"Hahahaha, if I want to leave, none of you can catch me."

Chen Yu laughed loudly and turned to run…

Hearing this, He Yunwang, Senior Fan, and the others had cold expressions and immediately chased after him.

Both He Yunwang and Senior Fan looked down on Chen Yu's bold words.

Senior Fan, at the peak of the Early-Stage Sky Sea Realm and practicing Sword Dao, had speed as his advantage.

And He Yunwang's forte was indeed speed, especially since he possessed a High Grade King-level Treasure, the "Purple Cloud Cloak," which maximized his speed advantage.

After a while, everyone fell silent.

All could see Chen Yu sprouting a pair of golden wings on his back, flying swiftly like a golden phoenix in the night, leaving behind a trail of flame.

The Golden Phoenix Wings, also a High Grade King-level artifact, coupled with Chen Yu's speed, were slightly faster than He Yunwang.

"Chen Yu, you coward, stop running and face me one-on-one!"

The burly man with the hat, not adept at speed, lagged behind and thus bellowed loudly, startling the birds and beasts in a radius of several hundred miles.

Chen Yu maintained a commanding lead, circling around the desolate woods.

His gaze deep, he unleashed his Spiritual Sense and whispered softly, "Is this all the people?"

Besides the five currently pursuing him, Chen Yu sensed the traces of two Half-step Sky Sea Realm individuals.

Moments later, Chen Yu made no other discoveries. He retracted his Golden Phoenix Wings and plunged into the forest.

"Next, it's hunting time!"

Within the woods, Chen Yu's teeth gleamed brilliantly.

Suddenly.

His skin began to turn black, the surface shimmering with a dark glow; his bright teeth no longer stood out.

In a breath's time, Chen Yu became pitch black, darkening the surroundings considerably. If he remained motionless, he seemed to completely blend into the darkness.

"Is this the Bloodline Power of the Night Winged Wolf?"

Chen Yu felt the entirely new Bloodline Power coursing through him.

The Bloodline Power of the Night Winged Wolf was slightly stronger than that of the Golden Phoenix Wing.

Between the two, there was also a distinct difference: one was suited for frontal combat, and the other for stealth and ambush.

Chen Yu activated the Night Winged Wolf Bloodline. Without exuding much aura or force, he seamlessly transformed and then concealed himself within the darkness, his heartbeat and breathing seemingly stopped, quiet as a rock.

In his sensory world, night was no different from day—he could even see clearer than during the day.

"Where did that kid run off to?"

The sound of the straw-hatted man's voice echoed like a bell.

"He must be nearby!" said the red-clothed woman.

Senior Fan's Spiritual Sense covered hundreds of feet around, sweeping over Chen Yu without finding anything. "Could he know Earth Escape?"

"Search carefully!" whispered the tall man by Senior Fan's side.

The red-clothed woman released her spiritual power, casting an Illusion Technique.

If Chen Yu was hiding nearby, he would be affected!

Suddenly!

The red-clothed woman felt as if her mind was sharply pricked, an unprecedented sense of crisis overwhelmed her.

She immediately opened her eyes, only to see a dark shadow swiftly attacking from the side, as fast as lightning!

"Chen..."

The red-clothed woman stared intently, barely making out his features.

Just as she was about to scream, a dark claw pierced her body, seizing her heart!

Boom!

Chen Yu violently squeezed, and her heart exploded!

The red-clothed woman's life force vanished, and her body fell.

"Who?"

The straw-hatted man immediately turned around, only to see the red-clothed woman's figure falling and a dark shadow darting into the distant shadows.

He rushed over, trying to capture that shadow.

But in the darkness, the shadow moved too swiftly and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Hidden anew in the darkness, Chen Yu's entire body returned to calm, but his mood was buzzing with activity.

The Bloodline Power of the Night Winged Wolf was formidable!

It greatly amplified Chen Yu's explosiveness, as well as his agility and speed.

Most importantly, his ability to hide; in the dark, he was practically invincible, a nightmare for all his enemies.

The rest of the group reacted with faces filled with horror.

They hadn't even noticed anything when the red-clothed woman was killed so mysteriously.

"Senior Fan, who killed her? How was she killed?"

The tall man, his voice trembling, sent a message.

Everyone immediately heightened their alertness, their spiritual power covering the surroundings!

Chen Yu remained hidden in the dark, as if time had stopped, motionless, silent, not even blinking.

His enemies grew more and more panicked, gradually revealing their flaws!

Swoosh!

Chen Yu moved, his speed shadow-like and silent, quietly arriving behind the straw-hatted man.

When he got close, the straw-hatted man suddenly sensed him and immediately turned around, throwing a punch with heavy force descending.

But the Bloodline Power of the Night Winged Wolf was special; as Chen Yu's skin turned dark like shifting water, buffering five to six percent of the gravitational force!

His body agile, he deftly somersaulted to dodge the straw-hatted man's fist and struck his head with a claw!

Spurt!

Blood splattered, and a head flew off.

The straw-hatted man hadn't had time to activate his defenses and was decapitated!

Chen Yu then slipped back into the darkness, vanishing!

Hiss!

The surroundings suddenly turned silently eerie, the remaining three shivered, sucking in a breath of cold air.

Another Venerable at the Peak of Early Stage Sea Sky Realm was assassinated, killed in one strike!

They only saw a blurry snapshot of the combat; they had no idea how exactly Chen Yu had slain the straw-hatted man!

"This level of assassination skill, even the assassins trained by 'Nightfall Manor,' can't match up to him, right?"

Senior Fan was incredibly shaken inside.

A few miles away, two Half-step Sky Sea figures were quietly approaching.

They knew this was a Sky Sea Realm level confrontation, but they also wanted a piece of the action, possibly gaining some advantage.

Whew!

A cold wind blew by, and they suddenly noticed another figure beside them!

His body was pitch black, his features unclear; the surroundings seemed to grow eerier because of him, an inexplicable chill invading their entire bodies.

Just as they were about to shout, they couldn't make any sound.

They suddenly saw two headless bodies—they were their own!

Thud!

Their bodies and heads separated, falling together.

"The Bloodline Power of the Night Winged Wolf is indeed formidable, but it shouldn't be wasted too much, let's conclude swiftly!"

Chen Yu murmured softly, his figure leaping and disappearing tracelessly.

The next moment, three figures arrived at the spot, namely Senior Fan, the tall man, and He Yunwang.

Seeing the scene before them, all three turned cheerlessly pale.

"Two more are dead!"

The tall man's face turned deathly white.
