70: The obedient and devoted Red Demon Queen has gained another female general.

Accompanying King Gou Yuan Hao's heart-wrenching roar, the Array Boundary Pearl in his palm also shattered.

It transformed into a white vortex, enveloping Yuan Hao and drawing him into it, then directly penetrating the protective grand array of the Li Clan Sword Tomb, disappearing without a trace.

As expected of a chosen King Gou with a Nine Heavens destiny value as his foundation, his ability to escape was indeed first-rate; even the protective grand array of the Li Clan Sword Tomb couldn't stop him.

This guy has a lot of treasures on him!

"Damn it! Little beast, I want you dead!"

King Gou escaped with the inner core, and the Founding Emperor of the Li Clan, who controlled the Yin Demon through the Corpse Seal, was even more furious.

His precious treasures were repeatedly stolen by an ant, and he was entangled by Cao Meng, making it impossible to pursue. He immediately unleashed all his anger on Cao Meng.

"Haha, fighting me? Do you have that strength?"

Having snatched King Gou's Qilin Holy Soul and an additional eight hundred destiny value, Cao Meng's chest swelled with heroic spirit.

His Myriad Beast Dharma Image rapidly switched, and the shen ya sword in his palm danced like a Dragon.

At this moment, in terms of strength, Cao Meng, under the forced burst of the immeasurable sword gourd and various Divine Ability enhancements, could barely fight the Red-Clothed Demoness Yan Yumo to a draw.

Both had equally fierce and brutal fighting styles.

The only difference was that Cao Meng had the divine abyss in his palm and a armor-piercing effect.

Clad in the Star River Battle Robe attached to the immeasurable sword gourd, Cao Meng could also ignore the opponent's attacks, but the Female Demon Head no longer dared to use her delicate body to directly resist Cao Meng's shen ya sword.

Thus, the battle immediately reversed!

Facing Cao Meng's attacks, the Female Demon Head could only fully defend, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Time, space, Sword Dao... slaughter, indomitable... myriad beasts fighting..."

Cao Meng became braver the more he fought, and the divine sword in his palm became increasingly elusive.

Unconsciously, Cao Meng had entered a state of forgetting himself and the world.

In his eyes and heart, there was only one sword.

Images and scenes of Holy Empress Master using the Thousand Year Dream Divine Ability to guide him in comprehending the Sword Dao of Time constantly flashed in his mind.

The Concept insights shared by Demon Empress Chi Ling through her supreme Demonic Technique also constantly appeared.

Things he didn't understand before gradually became clear.

"What?"

'Yan Yumo' struggled to resist Cao Meng's attacks, and seeing his eyes grow brighter and his Sword Intent intensify, she became furious.

"Epiphany during battle? No, how can his Sword Intent improve so quickly..."

Sword Seventeen ~

"No, the Concept of Sword Seventeen isn't this strong, this is... Origin! Impossible, this is a level that even Saint Realm powerhouses find difficult to comprehend, how could he skip the complete Sword Dao and comprehend the power of Origin in advance..."

Boom ~

One sword broke through the Female Demon Head's numerous palm shadows and struck her jade-like left chest.

Pfft ~

No external injury, but blood spurted wildly.

"Damn it, what should I do?"

The Devil Head panicked. If this continued, let alone killing Cao Meng and recovering the treasures, even this painstakingly created living Puppet might be scrapped!

If that were true, her meticulously planned scheme would completely fall through.

In the distance, the Fox Spirit Su Rui and Demon Empress Chi Ling had already slaughtered most of the hundreds of panicking Li Clan Disciples.

The remaining people probably wouldn't last much longer.

Especially that Chi Ling Demon Empress, ten blood-colored demonic flames frantically weaved through the sword formations formed by the Li Clan Disciples. With each kill, the power of the demonic flames intensified. Moreover, these demonic flames were extremely difficult to deal with; a single sword slash, cutting them in half, would instantly merge them back together, completely unharmed.

The Sword Puppet Li Daoxuan also became fiercer the more he killed. In just a short while, only the last Seven Absolute Sword Immortal remained before him.

"Boy, stop, stop, this Emperor will make a deal with you, guaranteeing you..."

Boom!

Another sword heavily struck the Devil Head's shoulder, instantly tearing the skin and flesh.

It broke through her defense!

"Little beast, you brought this upon yourself, ah!"

The Founding Emperor of the Li Clan was enraged to the extreme: "Since you want to die, then let's go down together!"

The next moment, this fellow's body suddenly swelled, increasing more than ten times in size in the blink of an eye.

Sensing the arrival of danger, Cao Meng, who was in a state of Epiphany, suddenly awoke and rapidly retreated.

Unexpectedly, the Devil Head pursued him relentlessly like a maggot on a bone.

"Self-destruct?" Cao Meng was greatly alarmed. This Red-Clad Female Demon's Physical Body was comparable to a Spirit Treasure. Once it self-destructed, its power would probably far exceed a Saint Realm-level attack. Cao Meng wasn't sure if he could withstand an attack of this level.

"Master, don't be afraid, I'm coming! This is what I've been waiting for!" Demon Empress Chi Ling's pleasant voice rang out.

Then, a red light emerged from 'Void Sword Walker's' head, flashed slightly in the air, and crashed into the Red-Clothed Demoness's body.

Then, the Female Demon Head's body began to twist, her expression rapidly changing, as if two Souls were fighting within her body.

Her swollen Physical Body contracted like a deflating ball.

Founding Emperor of the Li Clan: "evil demon, get out, get out of here..."

Demon Empress Chi Ling: "A mere ant, a mere split Soul dares to be presumptuous in front of this Empress, perish ~"

Two voices appeared alternately.

Finally, with Demon Empress Chi Ling's cry, "Perish!"

The Red-Clothed Demoness Yan Yumo completely quieted down.

"Greetings, Master!" Demon Empress Chi Ling controlled the Red-Clothed Demoness to bow before Cao Meng.

"Good, well done. This time, I owe it to you." Cao Meng nodded slightly.

"Master overpraises me. If Master hadn't severely wounded the Origin of this demonic body, this subordinate wouldn't have been able to take her down so easily," Demon Empress Chi Ling said with a charming smile.

A slight smile appeared on Cao Meng's face. This tsundere Demon Empress was quite sensible.

"Which of these two bodies do you want?" Cao Meng pointed to the Female Demon Head Yan Yumo and 'Void Sword Walker', who stood idly by after losing control.

"Reporting to Master, I don't want either of them."

Demon Empress Chi Ling quickly said: "I want to recast my Divine Body. Also, this Female Demon Head Yan Yumo isn't actually dead; her Divine Soul was merely Sealed deep within her Sea of Consciousness by someone using a forbidden divine technique."

Cao Meng: "What? So is she dead or not?"

Demon Empress Chi Ling's enchanting figure emerged from the Red-Clothed Demoness Yan Yumo's head, gracefully appearing beside Cao Meng.

After Demon Empress Chi Ling detached, the Red-Clothed Demoness immediately became like a Puppet, completely devoid of Life Qi.

"Master, her Primordial Spirit is Sealed deep within her Sea of Consciousness. Master, you now have three choices. One is to directly use your Spirit Treasure gourd to transform her into a sword puppet. The second is to control her with Demonic Technique, letting her continue to be a living corpse. The third is for this Servant Girl to take action, break her forbidden divine technique, and revive her."

Demon Empress Chi Ling glanced at Cao Meng with her spiritual eyes, carefully adding:

"Master, this Servant Girl suggests you choose the third option. Because this woman has good talent, turning her into a living corpse or transforming her into a sword puppet would limit her developmental potential. If Master is willing to subdue her, this Servant Girl can plant a demonic forbidden art in her, ensuring her life and death are under your control."

"This way, Master will have another subordinate, a beautiful woman with unlimited potential... the kind where Master can do whatever he wants." As she spoke, she winked at Cao Meng in a flattering manner.
