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

Chapter 211: Chapter 207 Innate Demon Beast and Puppet

As he watched the “Dark Night Mountain Cat” flee, Chen Yu’s face bore a thoughtful expression.

Just now.

When the claws of the cat scratched his skin, a mysterious heartbeat sensed an obscure attraction.

This signal resembled what happened in the Blood Burial Garden when absorbing the bloodline of Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhuo and this Dark Night Mountain Cat had something in common.

The former possessed an inexplicable “Black Emperor bloodline,” while the latter bore the blood of an ancient beast.

On both occasions, Chen Yu had been in close contact.

Chen Yu wondered to himself if the mysterious heart could also absorb the blood of these ancient beasts and even those of the ancient clans?

At that thought.

His heart suddenly heated up with excitement.

However, unfortunately, the Dark Night Mountain Cat was too fast, like a fish in water in the darkness, excelling in concealment, invisible and formless.

“Guest Elder Chen, we can’t hold on any longer…”

Fu Hong, drenched in sweat, spoke weakly.

At that moment, at the top of the cliff.

The youths of the Fu Family were nearly drained of their strength.

Ye Luofeng was hardly any better, her complexion slightly pale, covered in sweat.

However.

She wouldn’t show weakness in front of Chen Yu and continued to persevere.

“Alright, prepare to retreat from this blood-drenched land.”

Chen Yu nodded.

On this cliff top, after fighting for almost half the night, except for Chen Yu, everyone else was at their limits.

Should another Postnatal Peak ancient beast appear, even Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng would face significant threats.

The other disciples of the Fu Family would likely suffer injuries or even fatalities.

At once.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng led the disciples of the Fu Family, slashing their way down the cliff.

Once they left this blood-drenched land, they would naturally escape the attack of numerous fierce beasts and flying birds.

When they had fought their way to the middle of the mountain.

The nearby fierce beasts and flying birds strangely dispersed, fleeing in all directions.

“What’s going on?”

Chen Yu sensed something was wrong.

Hmm~

A soul-shaking, deep roar emanated from below the cliff, causing nearby beasts to retreat.

An invisible evil aura and wind carrying swirling sand and dust rushed toward them.

“Not good! It’s an Innate Demon Beast!”

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng exchanged a glance, their expressions darkening.

Upon hearing this.

The youths of the Fu Family’s faces turned ashen.

If they were at their peak, the group could handle a regular Innate Demon Beast together without much issue.

However.

After a prolonged battle, everyone was exhausted, many were injured, and their strength had greatly diminished.

From the invisible oppressive aura, the approaching demon beast seemed to have reached the Innate Middle Stage, potentially even stronger than a human of the same level.

“Ha ha ha! An Innate Middle Stage Demon Beast, how timely!”

“This Fu Family is already at the end of its strength; even if they don’t die, they will suffer heavy losses.”

Near the cliff, people from the Wu Family, including the Black Robed Puppet Master and He Dabao, laughed gleefully at the misfortune.

Soon, the Innate Stage Demon Beast appeared.

It was a demon leopard, spotted darkly, its size comparable to an elephant, surrounded by a sinister purple wind, accompanied by a demonic wind several meters in radius, its presence terrifying.

Whoosh!

The demon leopard suddenly transformed into a dark shadow and attacked the Fu Family’s group.

Before it even approached, a vast wave of demonic wind struck, scattering the Fu Family’s youth helter-skelter.

“Ah!”

Two or three of the youths were tossed about, bleeding from their heads.

Some of them even passed out.

This was merely the residual wind from its attack.

The real assault was intercepted head-on by Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng.

They had no choice but to confront it directly.

Otherwise, the entire Fu Family group faced annihilation.

“Slash!”

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng, with heavy sword and treasure sword, cut out together.

Among them.

Chen Yu’s heavy sword created a wall of bright silver sword energy, layered heavily, primarily to defend and weaken the demon leopard’s offensive.

Ye Luofeng unleashed a breathtakingly icy sword glow, the view filled with frosty whiteness, piercingly cold.

On the surface of that sword glow, a faint blue deep light appeared, the invisible power of the ancient sword technique enhancing the sword dao, nearly matching the strike of an Innate Stage attack.

Boom!

Their attacks intertwined with a contorted purple wind vortex, causing a soul-shaking loud bang.

In an instant.

The center of the clash formed a crater several meters in diameter.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng both rapidly retreated several steps.

Among them.

Ye Luofeng’s complexion turned paler, breathing more hurriedly, her delicate body slightly unstable.

She felt both shock and anger, thinking that if it was her peak moment, she at least could have contended with this demon leopard for a while.

Whoo~

The Innate Stage demon leopard, seeing Chen Yu and another person’s joint strike, even caused it some slight superficial wounds.

“We must end this battle quickly!”

Chen Yu’s expression was solemn as he immediately passed this message along.

If it were just one Innate Demon Leopard, they would not fear it.

The problem was.

There were beasts surrounding them, including the Dark Night Mountain Cat or other Innate Demon Beasts, which might attack.

They absolutely couldn’t drag this out.

“Next, strike with all your might, just focus on attacking.”

Chen Yu took a deep breath, sheathed the Xuan Heavy Sword, and stimulated his Primordial Evil True Qi to its utmost.

At the same time.

He stealthily mobilized a trace of Black Emperor bloodline, including the Copper Statue Technique, all brewing to their peak.

In the next moment.

The Innate Stage demon leopard, unable to hold back, pounced again.

A twisted dark purple whirlwind, coupled with piercing cold wind blades, spiraled toward Chen Yu and another person.

Where the attack passed, nearby mountains, stones, and trees turned into dust and fragments.

Buzz whoosh!

Suddenly, a sword shield puppet about one meter tall flashed from the white fog, holding a huge, pitch-black sword shield in front.

Ting ting dang!

The attack of the Innate Stage Demon Leopard was primarily blocked by the Sword Shield Puppet.

Despite the Sword Shield Puppet having only Postnatal Stage combat prowess, its defensive power was comparable to that of the Innate Qi.

Buzz! Boom!

The black blood pattern on the surface of the Sword Shield Puppet flashed as its body shook violently, retreating continuously.

But at that moment,

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng soared into the air, spearheading an attack on the Innate Stage Demon Leopard under the cover of the Sword Shield Puppet.

“Heavenly Spirit Slash Sky Technique!”

In Ye Luofeng’s clear eyes, a trace of a nonexistent sword shadow emerged.

Whoosh—

Her White Jade Treasure Sword slashed downwards, casting a brilliant, ice-clear sword halo that flickered with a dark, blue brilliance.

In that instant,

The nearby darkness of the night was dispelled by that dazzling, crystal-clear sword halo, bright as daylight.

Wooo!

The Innate Demon Leopard howled, its face showing fear, yet it had no place to hide.

Because,

Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu were leveraging the cover of the Sword Shield Puppet to accumulate power for this attack, striking precisely when the beast was drained from its own assault.

Ting! Puchi!

The Demon Leopard shifted its position, narrowly avoiding a vital blow, but a deep, bone-exposing gash was slashed across its back.

At the same time,

A trace of ethereal dark blue sword shadow swept over the body of the Demon Leopard.

The beast displayed a painful expression, greatly shaken in spirit.

This sword strike not only caused substantial injury but also affected its spirit.

“The sword technique used by this lady just now seems to contain the power of some ancient sword technique, her mastery in the way of the sword is truly astounding.”

“Unfortunately, her strength is significantly drained, far from her peak, and she can only make this single strike.”

Before the curtains, many exclaimed in admiration,

Even several Guiyuan Realm masters were moved.

“Die!”

A faint black afterimage, with a whirlwind of Evil Qi, closed in on the side of the Demon Leopard at an astonishing speed.

The suddenly increased burst of speed was startling.

Slash!

Chen Yu’s heart had already gathered power, and a nearly transparent dark gleaming dagger appeared in his hand.

This dagger was swirling with layers of billowing Primordial Evil True Qi and subtly mixed with a ring of black iron Qi pattern.

The Black Emperor’s bloodline and powered-up heart synergized in amplification.

Not only that,

Under the moonlight of the sky, a layer of dark moon brilliance illuminated the dark gleaming dagger, boosting its power by more than forty percent.

Chi!

A moonlight-bright, hair-thin dark gleaming sword arc followed the freshly made wound on the body of the Demon Leopard, slicing downwards.

Suddenly,

The wound left by Ye Luofeng moments ago widened.

The Demon Leopard roared as dark purple blood flowed from the enlarged wound.

Hoo! Boom!

The beast let out a furious growl and exploded with a dark purple and deep gust of wind, sweeping over an area of about thirty to forty-five feet.

Bang! Bang!

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng, jolted by the beast’s violent backlash, were thrust away.

Among them,

Ye Luofeng was sent flying several feet backward, her face pale with traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Yu, with a muffled groan, was also sent flying back, his body’s beast skin armor and Copper Statue Technique alleviating most of the attack, resulting in only minor injuries.

At this moment,

The severely injured Demon Leopard, tormented by the acceleration of its poison, showed a look of fear and turned to run.

Swoosh!

Its form melded into a dark gray afterimage, blending into the night.

Chen Yu thought for a moment but chose not to pursue.

Given the Postnatal Middle Stage speed of the Demon Leopard in the darkness, it was beyond Chen Yu’s reach.

Chasing it would have uncertain outcomes.

“Are you alright?”

Chen Yu quickly moved to protect Ye Luofeng.

At this moment,

Ye Luofeng and the members of the Fu Family had lost much of their combat strength, all injured.

If Chen Yu were to abandon them, and creatures like the Dark Night Mountain Cat attacked, they would face the risk of annihilation.

“Let’s head down the mountain.”

Ye Luofeng took two Elixirs, and her complexion slightly improved.

Chen Yu nodded and instructed the puppets and the Iron Moon Strange Insect to lead the way down the mountain.

The group had just reached the base of the cliff,

When ahead in the deep night, sounds of a fight could be heard.

Chen Yu sent the Iron Moon Strange Insect to scout for specific details.

Soon,

A scene, seen through the Iron Moon Strange Insect, was projected into Chen Yu’s mind.

Woo woo!

The grievously injured Innate Demon Leopard was tied up by several white spider threads, binding its limbs.

Around the Leopard, four Spider Puppets each controlled one or two robust threads, binding the leopard forcefully.

At the same time,

In front of the Leopard, a giant Scorpion Puppet swung a scythe-like pincer, ruthlessly slashing at the Innate Demon Leopard.

The Innate Demon Leopard bled profusely and, compounded by the virulent poison, its struggles grew weaker.

“Hahaha! Brother Kong actually has an Innate Puppet.”

Several Postnatal Stage youths from the Wu Family, including He Dabao, launched attacks from a distance.

Soon,

The Innate Demon Leopard, with a whimper, lost its strength to resist.

“Had this Demon Leopard not been severely injured and afflicted with poison, we would not have been able to overpower it so easily. It seems we had underestimated the strength of that Fu Family squad.”

The Black Robed Puppet Master spoke in a detached tone, showing no joy.

At this time,

Chen Yu’s Fu Family squad had moved away from the dangerous area of the Bloody Cliff.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“An Innate Puppet using Qi Transformation? The Wu Family indeed picked up a bargain.”

Chen Yu’s face, however, looked displeased.

It was already too late for him to go and seize the hunting rights for the Demon Leopard.

In the senses of the Iron Moon Strange Insect,

The Innate Stage giant scorpion puppet, controlled by the Black Robed Puppet Master, had already dismembered the Demon Leopard.

A Wu Family youth, beaming with joy, was extracting a Demon Core.

The Wu Family youth showed delight; an Innate Stage Demon Core could be worth more than a dozen Postnatal Stage Demon Cores.

Just at that moment,

With a swish and a ding,

A streak with silver spots and black, darted from beneath the surface, hitting the youth squarely on the wrist.
