410: Escape and Interception

Watching the Bald Man charge forward, the Space Demon God had no intention of intervening, his eyes filled with playfulness.

Night Demon, on the other hand, showed disdain and said contemptuously, "Since I have broken the seal, I shall use you as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

Swoosh!

A powerful aura swept through as the bald Middle-aged Man charged directly toward them.

Below, Musashi watched this scene, his hand gripping his blade tightening slightly.

The next second, above the clouds, a thunderous roar resounded.

Immediately following that, a headless body slowly fell from above the clouds.

It was the body of that Bald Man!

Instantly killed!

This result was, in fact, inevitable, because before a Ninth Rank Peak, whether one was Ninth Stage Mid-Phase or Late Ninth-Rank, they were all like ants.

Looking at the bald Middle-aged Man's corpse, Musashi slowly closed his eyes.

A Ninth-Rank Expert couldn't even intercept the opponent for a single second.

Swoosh!

Space cracked open, and Night Demon's figure stepped out, holding a head in its hand.

Night Demon looked at Musashi with a bizarre smile. Then, its mouth split open, and it directly stuffed the head into its mouth, crushing it instantly!

At the same time, a suction force emanated from Night Demon's mouth, pulling the Bald Elder's body over to be absorbed by Night Demon!

"Such abundant blood energy..."

Night Demon let out a comfortable sigh.

It then looked at Musashi and said with an evil laugh, "Jie jie jie, human, it's your turn. How do you want to die?"

Musashi remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I know I am no match for you, but..."

Clang!

The sound of a blade being unsheathed rang out across the field like a piercing musical note!

The momentum around Musashi began to surge; his 'intent' had reached its peak!

His original realm was Late Ninth-Rank, but at this moment, the power he displayed had reached the Peak of the Late Ninth Rank!

Not only that, Musashi was burning everything he had!

Lifespan! Blood energy!

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from within him, while his body began to age rapidly at a bizarre speed!

His hair turned grey... his skin became dull and lusterless... Night Demon watched everything he did expressionlessly, not even moving to stop him, but instead waiting with interest.

The power of this human swordsman actually made it feel a bit excited.

Musashi slowly withdrew his blade, sheathing it by an inch. He looked at Night Demon and said, "Take one strike from me!"

Night Demon laughed, "Although I know you are stalling for time, I hope you aren't too weak."

Musashi did not speak. He slowly closed his eyes, and in the next second, he snapped them open and delivered a slash!

Puchi!

Space-time suddenly split apart. Simultaneously, the space-time in front of Night Demon also annihilated and cracked at this moment!

Its pupils shrank, and it suddenly lunged with a claw!

Puchi!

The blade light flashed past. Night Demon caught the powerful force, but in the next second, Night Demon's body retreated repeatedly. Not only that, the space behind it was also shattered!

Night Demon's body only came to a halt after retreating dozens of feet.

Its gaze was somewhat gloomy as it slowly looked at its palm. There was a blade mark on its palm, and strands of energy were dissipating from the wound... It was injured!

This human's single strike had actually injured it!

Night Demon narrowed its eyes. "I must say, you have indeed surprised me."

Musashi's aura had now reached the point of exhaustion. That strike just now had been his everything.

Now, he no longer had the strength to resist!

The blade in his hand also turned into ash and dissipated at this moment.

The power was too strong; his blade could not withstand it!

Musashi looked at the vanishing blade, a hint of regret in his eyes. "A hundred years of martial arts, and it finally ends here..."

The light in his eyes gradually faded, leaving no trace of life.

The blade destroyed, the man dead!

Night Demon looked at Musashi's corpse and clicked its tongue. "What a pity. This fellow's blood energy was stronger than the other humans."

The Space Demon God chuckled. "He was a respectable opponent, wasn't he?"

Night Demon gave a disdainful smile. "To be my opponent? He wasn't worthy."

However, it did not destroy Musashi's body. Instead, it turned around, its gaze piercing through the void to see the Priest and the others who were fleeing.

The Space Demon God smiled and asked, "Are you going to kill them?"

Night Demon smiled strangely. "Escaping from my hands? It won't be that easy!"

As it spoke, it walked directly forward. With every step, its body became a bit more illusory. Its image remained in place, but its true body had already crossed through space.

Back at the original spot, the Space Demon God smiled faintly. It then glanced at Musashi's body standing there. Even though he had fallen, his body remained upright and straight, like a blade.

The Space Demon God thought for a moment, then ignored him and turned to leave.

He was the mastermind behind everything, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to show his face.

With Night Demon freed, his goal had been achieved... On the other side, the Priest and the others were heading toward the Dragon Kingdom at an extremely high speed.

Everyone's face was filled with solemnity.

As Ninth-Rank Experts, they had already sensed the deaths of Musashi and the Bald Elder.

Even Musashi couldn't block Night Demon for very long!

"Hmph! That old fellow didn't even last three damn seconds. What a waste!"

The Red-Robed Elder snorted coldly.

"They were never Night Demon's match to begin with, let alone with a Space Demon God there. We cannot stop. We must cherish the precious time they bought with their lives!"

The Priest's solemn voice reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared in this world!

Ninth Rank Peak!

That extreme sense of oppression caused everyone's expression to change!

Even though they were Ninth-Rank, they felt a suffocating pressure!

Night Demon had arrived!

The Priest's face changed. "Everyone! Do not stop!"

Once caught by Night Demon, all of them would die!

Night Demon was indeed a top-tier powerhouse. Its speed was also extremely terrifying, and the pressure permeating the world grew stronger and stronger!

Just then, the Red-Robed Elder suddenly stopped. He smiled faintly. "This is so damn pathetic! If I keep running, I'll be even worse than that bald guy!"

As he spoke, he turned and took a step forward!

"You..."

The Priest's expression changed.

"Mr. Priest, go!"

The others said in low voices.

The Priest's gaze was complex. Though his heart was filled with grief, he couldn't stop. If he did, not only would these old fellows die, but the last hundred thousand people of the Alliance Nation would also perish!

Boom!

An explosion sounded from behind, and Night Demon's pressure stalled for a brief moment.

Clearly, the Red-Robed Elder had blocked the opponent.

But very quickly, Night Demon's pressure swept in again!

The latter's figure also appeared, completely unharmed.

As for the Red-Robed Elder, he had already self-detonated to stop it.

The power generated by the self-detonation had indeed successfully blocked Night Demon for two seconds.

However, this also made Night Demon's expression turn ugly.

To be disgusted by these ants time and time again, it was now enraged!

Night Demon raised its hand and tore the space in front of it, revealing a pitch-black void inside!

The next second, Night Demon charged in, and immediately after, it rushed out from another point in space!

In its line of sight, the Priest and the others appeared!
