127: Chapter 127 Defeat the Demon Lord

Ji Lingyue covered her small mouth in shock, her silver eyes wide, filled with disbelief.

How could the young master actually fight a 1-Star Demon Venerate without falling into a disadvantage?

A 3-Star Martial Emperor fighting a 1-Star Martial Venerable across ranks, what kind of battle power is this?

The two Silver Moon Foxes and the remaining 8-Star Demon Wolf Emperor wore expressions of utter disbelief.

They were too shocked to speak.

Heishan being killed by a single sword strike was already shocking, but now even Elder Heiming personally taking action couldn't do anything to this human.

Demon Venerate Heiming looked at the deep, bone-revealing sword mark on his chest. The Ice Essence flowing within it made his body stiff, and his circulation of demon power became sluggish.

A flash of deep wariness crossed his dark green wolf eyes.

This human 3-Star Martial Emperor had actually comprehended both Ice Essence and Mysteries of Water, along with three types of True Intent at Perfection.

His combat power was terrifying to such a degree that he could fight him to a draw.

He was simply a Prodigy.

This brat must not be allowed to live; otherwise, once he grew up, he would surely become a great enemy of their Demon Alliance.

Thinking of this, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

He circulated his Profound Truth of Wind, and the Ice Essence remaining in his body instantly dissolved.

"Brat, you are a Prodigy, but you must die today."

As soon as Demon Venerate Heiming finished speaking, the Profound Truth of Wind around his body erupted violently.

The cyan demon wind condensed behind him into a black wolf phantom dozens of zhang high, howling at the sky, its voice shaking the surroundings.

He swiped a claw, and five cyan claw marks that tore through the Void Realm, carrying an aura of destruction, descended upon Han Ming.

He used his full strength for this strike, not giving Han Ming any chance to catch his breath.

"Just by relying on you, you want to kill me?"

Han Ming sneered, waved his hand to put on the defensive jade talisman given by his Great-grandfather, and his body shot into the sky.

He advanced instead of retreating.

He did not use any True Intent; to deal with a Martial Venerable, he could only use Profound Truth.

With a wave of his hand, the Mysteries of Water instantly transformed into a pale blue defensive water curtain around him.

The Ice Essence formed spears of profound ice before him, carrying the chill of the Ice Sealing World as they tore through the Void Realm and attacked Demon Venerate Heiming.

Demon Venerate Heiming felt the power of this attack, his expression changed, and he hurriedly activated his Profound Truth of Wind, forming layers of wind barriers before him.

"Boom!"

The five cyan claw marks tore through the sky and slammed heavily into the pale blue water curtain.

The water curtain trembled violently and shattered with a bang after holding on for a moment, but the power of the five claw shadows was also weakened by nearly eighty percent.

They were instantly blocked by the layer of light curtain radiating from Han Ming's body, and the five claw shadows could not stir up the slightest ripple upon it.

"Boom —"

At the same time, countless Ice Essence spears struck the wind barriers in front of Demon Venerate Heiming, and the collision of the two Profound Truths emitted a roar.

"No —"

The profound ice spears tore through the wind barriers and, in Demon Venerate Heiming's terrified eyes, pierced through his chest.

The Ice Essence instantly exploded within his body, freezing his flesh and blood into solid ice.

Demon Venerate Heiming looked down at the hole in his chest, his dark green wolf eyes filled with disbelief.

He, a dignified Demon Venerate, who had cultivated for over a thousand years and was considered an expert in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, had actually fallen into the hands of a 3-Star Martial Emperor today?

"You... who exactly are you?"

Demon Venerate Heiming struggled to raise his head, looking at Han Ming, asking in disbelief.

He had not expected Han Ming to have a Heaven Rank defensive jade talisman on him.

Otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain.

If he had known earlier that this human brat possessed such a treasure, why would he have fought him to the death?

Regret welled up in his heart.

But now, everything was too late.

"Dead people don't need to know so much."

Han Ming said coldly, no longer giving him a chance. With a wave of his hand, an ice arrow shot out, piercing his skull.

"Boom!"

Demon Venerate Heiming's eyes instantly lost their luster, and his corpse fell from mid-air.

The entire scene fell into silence.

"Elder Heiming is dead? Run..."

It took a long while for that 8-Star Demon Wolf Emperor to regain his senses, shouting as his body turned into a black wind and flew into the distance.

At the same time, turbulent waves rose in his heart.

Elder Heiming just died like this?

Died at the hands of a 3-Star Martial Emperor human?

This was simply absurd; if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

Ji Yinshuang and another woman of the fox clan were no slower; after the shock, their bodies instantly turned into afterimages and darted away.

"Hmph, do you think you can run?"

Han Ming snorted coldly, instantly releasing his Domain, shrouding the few of them within it.

The three figures suddenly froze, as if bound by invisible chains, unable to move.

The power of the Domain, interwoven with Ice Essence and Mysteries of Water, pressed down on them so hard that even breathing became difficult, and their faces were filled with fear.

"Senior, spare us! This Junior was only following orders; it was all forced by the Grand Elder. We didn't want to be enemies with Princess Lingyue either!"

Ji Yinshuang knelt in mid-air with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, her silver eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful.

The other Silver Moon Fox woman also knelt down, trembling all over.

That 8-Star Demon Wolf Emperor gritted his teeth, saying nothing, his eyes filled with despair.

Han Ming looked down at Ji Yinshuang, his eyes devoid of any pity.

Following orders?

Didn't want to be enemies?

When they were hunting down Ji Lingyue, they hadn't hesitated in the slightest.

"These two fox women are your clansmen; you decide how to deal with them. As for this black wolf..."

He raised his hand and pointed, an invisible Sword Qi piercing the 8-Star Demon Wolf Emperor's glabella.

The Black Wind Wolf Emperor's eyes instantly lost their luster, and his corpse fell to the ground with a bang.

"Princess, spare us! Princess, spare us!"

Seeing the wolf corpse fall, the two fox women, Ji Yinshuang and the other, turned pale with fear, begging Ji Lingyue for mercy repeatedly.

They knew that the only one who could save them now was Ji Lingyue.

Ji Lingyue was also hesitant as she looked at the two pitifully begging for mercy.

After all, both of them had been her mother's confidantes before, and they had a good relationship with her.

But then, thinking of her mother who had died tragically, she gritted her teeth and said: "You want to live, that's fine, but you must sign a master-servant contract with my young master. Otherwise, even I cannot save you."

"This..."

Ji Yinshuang and the other woman looked at each other, beginning to feel troubled in their hearts.

Although they didn't want to die, they were even less willing to sign a master-servant contract with a human.

They had heard that many of their kind had no good end after being enslaved by humans, becoming human playthings with no dignity at all.

"What? You are unwilling?"

Ji Lingyue's eyes began to turn cold when she saw them hesitate.

As a princess of the Silver Moon Fox Clan, she was not someone soft-hearted.

"Wait, we will sign!"

Ji Yinshuang felt Ji Lingyue's killing intent, looked at Han Ming, and gritted her teeth.

Such a young 3-Star Martial Emperor who could kill a 1-Star Demon Venerate across ranks, following him didn't seem like a loss.

Moreover, the Princess had already signed a master-servant contract with him, and he seemed to treat the Princess quite well.

Ji Yinshuang bit her fingertip, two drops of silvery-white essence blood seeped from her fingertip, hovering in mid-air.

She and the other fox woman formed hand seals simultaneously, their fingertips drawing silver patterns in the Void Realm, and the essence blood transformed into two complex contract formations, slowly rotating.

"I, Ji Yinshuang, take my Bloodline as the guide and my Soul as the oath, willing to serve the person before me as master. Never to betray for life, until death. If this oath is broken, may my Bloodline suffer backlash and my Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

"I, Ji Mingyue, take my Bloodline as the guide and my Soul as the oath, willing to serve the person before me as master. Never to betray for life, until death. If this oath is broken, may my Bloodline suffer backlash and my Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two contract formations split in two, one part merging into each of their glabella, and the other flying towards Han Ming.

Han Ming did not resist, allowing the two major contracts to quickly merge into his Sea of Consciousness, and two clear Soul imprints instantly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

In an instant, he grasped the life and death of these two fox women.

"Get up! From now on, you are Lingyue's maids. Serve her well, otherwise, there will be no need for you to continue existing."

Han Ming withdrew his Domain and said, looking at them indifferently.

"Yes, young master."

Ji Yinshuang and Ji Mingyue hurriedly stood up, respectfully standing behind Ji Lingyue, lowering their heads, not daring to look at Han Ming again.

Han Ming nodded; accepting the two was not bad. One 8-Star Demon Emperor, one 9-Star Demon Emperor—it was also no small help.
