Yang Tao stood firm, taking Xing Tian's attack head-on and punching Huangfu Longdou's arms, his powerful strength forcing Huangfu Longdou back two steps.
Ding...
Xing Tian's battle-axe landed on Yang Tao's body, but it couldn't cut into him in the slightest.
Huangfu Longdou's eyes nearly popped out.
"What exactly are you?"
A human? Don't joke around. Even among those guys from the Spirit Realm, not a single one could withstand a direct axe blow from his Xing Tian, even without using a skill.
"Yang Tao, please enlighten me!"
A large amount of black tissue appeared on Yang Tao's body, and his figure continuously expanded. A peculiar aura emanated from the blackness.
Affected by this, a tyrannical emotion arose within Huangfu Longdou's heart. Although he knew he was being influenced, he still found it difficult to shake off this strange feeling.
Fiery red skin, curved bull horns, legs like a bull, and hooves that left a charred imprint on the ground.
The black wings on his back gently flapped.
A Greater Daemon, a Greater Daemon of Khorne.
Yang Tao raised the thick spear in his hand and said to Huangfu Longdou, "Come on, prove your courage to me. Pick up your weapon and cut off my head!"
"Outer...Outer Realm Demon!"
Huangfu Longdou felt an intense fighting spirit surge within him.
"Let's go together, Xing Tian!"
One large and one small figure, both wielding similar weapons, charged towards Yang Tao.
Yang Tao, in his transformed Greater Daemon of Khorne form, let out a joyful laugh, as if the one charging towards him was not his enemy, but a long-lost close friend.
"Admirable fighting spirit! I can feel the unwillingness in your heart, Huangfu Longdou. Pick up your weapon and overturn this unfair world!"
Yang Tao's words gave Huangfu Longdou more courage.
Bang!
The spear and battle-axe collided, sending both Huangfu Longdou and Xing Tian flying backward.
Huangfu Longdou didn't even think to wipe the blood from his mouth, adjusting his body and charging at Yang Tao again.
White flames surged around him, forming a special set of armor. The axe and shield he originally held merged into his body, and two sharp axes made of white flames appeared on his arms.
His arms became the handles of the axes.
"Hungry Tiger Pounces!"
Huangfu Longdou and his Guardian Spirit Xing Tian pounced on Yang Tao together.
"Haha, what excellent fighting spirit!"
Bang... Bang...
"Earth-shattering!"
Bang... Bang...
"World-destroying!"
The last axe blow landed on Yang Tao's transformed Greater Daemon of Khorne body, and crimson blood gushed out, splattering directly onto Huangfu Longdou and Xing Tian.
Before Huangfu Longdou could fully register his successful hit, he felt an unsettling heat emanating from the blood.
He... he wanted to cut something!
Anything!
From an outsider's perspective, after Huangfu Longdou struck the demon with an axe, his eyes turned completely red, and his usually calm face was filled with ferocity.
Not just him, even Xing Tian's body began to show blood-colored patterns.
However, he was much stronger than Huangfu Longdou. His eyes, formed by his breasts, stared at Yang Tao's transformed Greater Daemon of Khorne and said, "Indeed, an Outer Realm Demon. This power that corrupts the human heart is simply irresistible!"
"However, I am Xing Tian! God of War Xing Tian!"
"Take another blow from me!"
Xing Tian raised the Qi in his hand. The Qi grew with the wind, instantly becoming several times larger than Xing Tian's body.
Gan Qi is not one weapon.
Gan refers to the shield, Qi refers to the great axe.
Yang Tao didn't underestimate him this time. If he allowed Xing Tian's attack to land on him, even as a Greater Daemon of Khorne, he would likely be cut in two.
He raised the spear in his hand and quickly met the attack. With a clang, the spear and Qi collided, and the overflowing energy flattened the surroundings.
Fortunately, this was the outskirts of Rakshasa Street, and most of the evil spirits here had been absorbed into the Warp by Yang Tao. Otherwise, this single blow would have stirred up thousands of evil spirits.
Yang Tao turned 180 degrees, kicking Xing Tian away with a hoof.
Huangfu Longdou now showed slight signs of being eroded, his body beginning to swell, becoming more than a full 'size' larger than when he started.
Pfft...
Suddenly, Huangfu Longdou spat out a mouthful of blood, and a trace of clarity returned to his blood-red eyes.
"Heavenly star Cannon!"
The Heavenly star Cannon, a combined energy cannon attack summoning the Five Heavenly Emperors, was actually an attack that mobilized the power of heaven and earth. This power was so overbearing that even the Greater Daemon of Khorne's body was blasted with a huge hole.
Scarlet blood flowed all over the ground.
Yang Tao extended a red claw, touched the blood seeping from the wound, and then brought it to his mouth to lick it.
"Delicious food makes you feel pleasant."
"HP Cap +1"
"..."
I was just pretending to be a pervert, but I didn't expect you, Golden Finger, to be the real pervert.
The wound continuously wriggled and healed.
Xing Tian, who had been sent flying backward and crashed into a tall building, took this opportunity to swing the Gan Qi in his hand and charged over.
Pfft...
The sharp axe split into the Greater Daemon of Khorne's body, and in an instant, blood flowed freely. Even a normal Greater Daemon of Khorne would be unable to withstand such a severe blow, but unfortunately, Yang Tao was from the 'other' class.
Black blocks appeared, and his massive body vanished, returning to his original form.
The blood on the ground disappeared along with the transformation, and the maddening aura also vanished without a trace.
Yang Tao ignored Xing Tian and instantly teleported beside Huangfu Longdou. Without the influence of the Greater Daemon of Khorne, Huangfu Longdou knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The Heavenly star Cannon just now had also been a significant drain on him.
"Huangfu Longdou, I'll give you one more chance. Help me open the path to the Spirit World, otherwise... don't blame me."
The Last Sword was in his hand.
In an instant, an aura of death enveloped the hearts of everyone present.
They would die!
Not just Huangfu Longdou, even Xing Tian felt this sensation within him.
"This... this is the Spirit World!"
"This is Soul Calming Street."
Huangfu Longdou propped up his drained body and stood up, his gaze fixed on the man in front of him. He said, "Soul Calming Street is part of the Spirit World, but it was isolated by the Soul Master using the divine power of the xihe divine pearl..."
"The xihe divine pearl cannot exist or be used alone, and its placement conditions are also limited. Because the xihe divine pearl cannot resist the defiling aura of the Underworld, it is placed at the bottom of the Four Divine Trees, relying on the Four Divine Trees to maintain its spiritual power."
"Only by destroying the Four Divine Trees can the Soul Calming Street area return to the Spirit World."
Yang Tao nodded slightly upon hearing this. Only then did he understand why Huangfu Longdou wanted to use Xia Ling to destroy the Spirit Sophora japonica Tree in Rakshasa Street.
Zhang Chulan and Cao Yanbing, who had been fighting, had long since stopped. Especially Cao Yanbing, upon hearing Huangfu Longdou's words, nearly exploded with rage.
Not only did Huangfu Longdou disguise himself as Ghost General San Tong, but he also had designs on his family's Spirit Sophora japonica Tree. He was truly too hateful.
However, despite his anger, he could also see the gap between him and Huangfu Longdou now.
Just one Xing Tian was more than he could handle at the moment.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the Ten Halls of Yama in his hand.
