Chapter 249 Kid, I'll borrow your body for a bit

"Wh...what?!"

Chi Yang, who was greedily absorbing the demonic power of Bi Fang's claw, was startled when he saw the glowing strip of cloth falling down. Not only now, he felt that the whole place was strange.

"Not good!" Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and the Bifang claw he was holding in his palm began to tremble violently.

He could feel the power in that claw growing stronger and stronger.

"Hahaha...I...am out of quarantine?"

Feeling the long-lost power within his body, the Bifang claw shone brightly with crimson-gold light, and a monstrous demonic power, like a tsunami, erupted, covering the sky and the earth, directly blasting the horrified Chiyang away.

As he regained his balance, his throat moved, and a trickle of bright blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He stared ahead with a grim expression.

At the end of that vast ocean of demonic power lay the claws of Bifang.

At that moment, the claw appeared, and its terrifying aura overwhelmed everyone present.

"This is... the power of that claw..."

Li Jing's face was ashen, and he knelt on one knee. At this moment, his emotions were as turbulent as the surging demonic power.

At that moment, under the explosive force of that claw, in a daze, the claw kept growing larger and larger, while his figure kept shrinking smaller and smaller, truly as insignificant as an ant on the ground.

I've risked my life, day and night, cultivating for so long, yet the gap is still so vast... Li Jing gripped his sword with both hands, gritting his teeth as the overwhelming aura, like a knife scraping his bones, washed over him again and again.

But the emotional impact on him was far greater than the physical pain he suffered...

"This is the difference between gods and demons and mortals..."

A bitter feeling welled up in Li Jing's heart. He had thought that the demons captured by the Xuan Niao Division were terrifying enough, but he believed that with cultivation, he would one day be able to match them.

He was also pleased to find that he was growing stronger day by day while cultivating on Flying Fish Mountain...

But today, he realized just how terrifying true demons really are, thanks to the Blazing Fire Crow King and the other powerful demons.

It was as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

"Am I, so weak and powerless... really capable of seeking justice for my parents, for my little sister...?"

Li Jing struggled to raise his head to look at the claw in the sky that was bursting with overwhelming demonic power, and finally lowered his head, blood slowly flowing from the corners of his eyes.

He felt an overwhelming sorrow.

In this world where gods and demons abound and mortals often suffer, this is the tragedy of being a mortal.

The tragedy of being an ant...

"However, even so..."

After a moment, Li Jing slowly raised his head, opened his bloodshot eyes, and his gaze became incredibly firm once again.

He saw the gap and acknowledged his own weakness, but that didn't mean he would become discouraged, after all... he was the only survivor in the entire village.

"Blazing Sun, do you really think you... can absorb all of my power?"

High in the sky, Bifang's claw stood suspended in mid-air, coldly saying, "Even though I only possess a portion of my power at this moment, it is enough to deal with you. Are you prepared to pay the price for dishonoring me with your life?"

"Even with just one hand, he possesses such immense strength... Truly worthy of being called Lord Bifang!"

Chi Yang smiled and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking quite relaxed and not seeming too worried.

That damned Jade Cauldron... Bifang's Claw was speechless. He didn't know if that Jade Cauldron had some kind of problem.

Not only did they dismember him into several pieces, but they also divided his strength equally.

“Lord Bifang…” At the foot of the mountain, Qingyuzi’s face was ashen, but when he saw Bifang freed, his expression showed joy.

Even in the realm of immortals, the heart is also a source of power. Losing it will not kill you; at worst, you can separate your soul from your body and possess a new one. However, in the short term, the impact is still enormous.

"If this is your last wish... then you can go and die now."

Bifang's Claw spoke coldly, its powerful killing intent soaring to the sky, undisguised, transforming into a giant claw that unleashed a torrent of divine fire that burned half the heavens, before clawing down at the blazing sun.

"Ahem, I know the gap between me and Lord Bifang, but even ants cherish life..."

Chi Yang coughed and chuckled, then flipped his hand, revealing a glowing treasure seal that spun in his palm. As soon as it appeared, a faint sound of surging ocean could be heard from the seal, which he then unleashed.

Boom!

The large seal flew out, growing larger as it faced the wind. A blue, shimmering light spread across the sky, bursting forth with boundless brilliance to contend with the claw, standing on equal footing.

In an instant, the world seemed to transform into two realms of water and fire, and before they could even meet, the shimmering water and divine fire clashed.

"Xuan Yuan Seal... Damn it!" To be honest, the moment Chi Yang took out this precious seal, Bi Fang's Claw panicked. This was Tian Wu's natal treasure, containing boundless power. As his old rival, no one knew better than him how powerful this magic weapon was.

If his physical body were still intact, perhaps there would be a chance to fight back, but now with just these claws... what's the point of fighting? A head-on confrontation would be a fight to the death.

He was also wary of the treasure's power, so he wanted to distract Chi Yang and then suddenly attack before he could unleash it... Now it seems that the other party was already prepared.

laugh--

Just as they were about to meet, the claw suddenly changed direction, making a turn and rushing into the sky.

"Lord Bifang, don't run away..." Chiyang laughed and activated the Xuan Yuan Seal, chasing after the claw. His speed was visibly faster than the claw.

"Hmm?" Li Jing, who was watching the battle closely, saw that Bifang's Claw, which had been displaying its power and controlling the entire field, was about to break its promise and slink away, leaving him behind. His face darkened immediately: "The demon race is indeed unreliable!"

"I'll fight you to the death?!" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Bifang's Claw roared and summoned the divine fire of the Nine Heavens, which roared down towards the treasure seal.

Boom——

The two met in the sky, unleashing a dazzling divine light that obscured the heavens and earth. A violent shockwave, like a tsunami, poured out in all directions, sweeping across thousands of miles.

Immediately following was a deafening roar, which seemed to shake the heavens and earth, causing them to change color abruptly, with howling winds and flashing lightning.

"puff……"

The shockwave poured out, and Blazing Sun, who was controlling the magical artifact, was the first to be hit. His body was violently shaken, and he coughed up blood as he was sent flying backward, unable to resist the violent force.

The majestic mountains, including Flying Fish Mountain, were also decapitated...

Rumble!
Amidst a deafening roar, the earth split open, revealing an irregular cross-shaped opening that stretched for thousands of miles and was bottomless.

After a long while, the world gradually quieted down and returned to clarity.

Suddenly, a pile of rocks flew everywhere, and Li Jing, spitting out dirt mixed with blood, jumped out of a small hole.

He glanced around, and suddenly... his pupils contracted, he gasped, and felt a chill run down his spine. He asked blankly, "This is... Flying Fish Mountain?"

He began to doubt whether he had gone to the wrong place. All he could see were towering mountains that had either collapsed or broken into pieces. The earth was cracked, devoid of life, and utterly silent, like a dead land.

"My little house, my master's cave... gone?"

Li Jing murmured, "This..."

After careful examination, he discovered that Flying Fish Mountain had been leveled, and not only his hut but also his master's cave was gone.

What if his master comes back and finds his home gone...?

"Oh right..." Remembering that claw and those demons, Li Jing calmed down and began to search, while also looking for a way out.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, his expression changed as he saw something. He quickly bent down and picked up a white strip of cloth from the ground: "Is this the seal?"

After thinking about it, he still put it in his pocket.

Then he looked into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that claw and those monsters... all dead?"

"Hey kid, I saved your life no matter what."

Just then, a pile of rubble split open, and from a patch of lava, Bifang's Claw wobbled as it flew up: "If you say that... I'll be very sad too."

"You're not dead?" Li Jing was surprised, but he also noticed that Bi Fang's claws were covered with cracks and were still bleeding.

Bifang's Claw said calmly, "Just a little bit more..."

boom!
As they were talking, a mountain peak in the distance exploded, and Chi Yang, clutching his chest and looking pained, slowly rose into the air, but he seemed to be in much better condition than Bi Fang Zhi Zhao.

"This guy's got a really tough life..." Bi Fang's Claw's words revealed a hint of helplessness.

Chi Yang smirked: "Lord Bifang, now... at your last gasp... do you still have the imposing aura you had just displayed?"

"Oh no, he's here again, what should we do?" Li Jing became nervous.

"Don't worry, even if I'm at my last gasp now, I can still handle him..."

Bi Fang's Claw suddenly said to Li Jing, "Boy, I'll borrow your body for a bit."

“Borrow…” Li Jing looked at it in surprise.

"I'll lend it to you!"

Bifang's claw interrupted Li Jing and rushed over without saying a word, transforming into a crimson light that entered Li Jing's left arm.

The next moment, eerie crimson patterns began to spread from Li Jing's left hand, across his entire arm, and finally to his left forehead.
