Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 156 Find a new way
During the fierce battle, Liu Sijun's forehead was covered in sweat, but she gritted her teeth and did her best to maintain the light of purification.

Finally, a crack appeared in the runic array, and the black flames weakened. Gu Changzhou seized the opportunity, swung his sword, and severed the black hand.

The black hand vanished into thin air as a wisp of black smoke. As the cracks in the rune array widened, the black flames gradually died down, and the ground returned to its normal state.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

Suddenly, the red light on the altar intensified, and a huge figure slowly rose from the altar.

The figure resembled a demon god, exuding a powerful and evil aura, with a pair of blood-red eyes coldly staring at the crowd.

"How dare you trespass into this place and disturb my slumber! Today is your death day!"

The demon's voice, like a booming bell, echoed through the space, making everyone's eardrums ache. Gu Changzhou gripped his sword tightly, his expression resolute: "No matter what you are, we will not let you succeed!"

Upon hearing Gu Changzhou's words, the Demon God looked up to the sky and let out a wild, arrogant laugh. The laughter was like rolling thunder, echoing continuously in the enclosed space, causing everyone's blood to surge.

After laughing, the demon god waved his hand, and a black energy wave swept towards everyone like a surging tide.

Gu Changzhou flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the energy wave, his sword radiating brilliant starlight.

He roared and unleashed a "Starry Sky Slash," a massive sword aura colliding with the black energy wave. With a deafening boom, the powerful impact distorted the surrounding air and cracked the ground.

Liu Sijun knew that the Demon God was powerful, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

She swiftly activated the Void Mirror, its light swirling and ancient, mysterious runes appearing within. Liu Sijun chanted incantations, and the Void Mirror emitted several beams of light imbued with purifying power, enveloping the demon god.

However, her cultivation level was really limited. She couldn't even unleash one or two tenths of the power of the Tai Xu Mirror. As soon as she activated the Tai Xu Mirror, she was blasted away by the strong force.

His blood surged, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Tong Lei asked with concern, "Miss Liu, are you alright?"

Liu Sijun wiped his mouth and quickly swallowed a pill: "It's alright, Senior Tong, don't worry."

Min Rui and Tong Lei exchanged a glance and launched their attack simultaneously.

Min Rui formed hand seals and chanted, "Earth vein power, rock spear thrust!"

The ground suddenly rose up, and countless sharp rock spears flew towards the demon god.

Tong Lei poured all his spiritual power into his longsword, which burst into flames. He charged towards the demon god like a tiger descending a mountain, shouting, "Blazing Fire Burns the Heavens!" A massive fiery blade of energy slashed towards the demon god.

Despite the attacks from the crowd, the demon god showed no fear.

It snorted coldly, and the black mist around its body grew even thicker, forming a solid shield.

The rock spears pierced the shield and broke off one after another; the fiery blade energy touched the shield and only made it tremble slightly.

Seeing that their attack had failed to cause any real damage to the demon god, both Min Rui and Tong Lei felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The demon god, however, had no intention of letting them go so easily. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a thick black beam of light, which shot towards Min Rui and Tong Lei like a cannonball.

Min Rui's expression changed drastically, and his hands rapidly changed hand seals.

In an instant, a huge earthen wall, more than two people tall, rose from the ground and blocked his and Tong Lei's way.

The black beam of light slammed into the earthen wall with a deafening roar, causing it to collapse instantly and turn into a cloud of dust. Min Rui and Tong Lei were thrown backward by the impact and crashed heavily to the ground.

Tong Lei flipped to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment. He raised his longsword high above his head, his spiritual power surging wildly around him, and shouted, "Fiery Dragon Roars to the Heavens, Break!"

A colossal dragon formed from condensed flames roared forth from his longsword, carrying scorching heat and a world-destroying aura, hurtling straight at the demon god. The demon god merely glanced at it disdainfully, raised his hand, and a black barrier instantly appeared before him.

The flaming dragon crashed into the barrier, creating a violent explosion that sent flames flying, but the barrier remained firmly in place without any sign of damage.

At this moment, after taking the pill, Liu Sijun felt that his spiritual power had recovered slightly.

To defeat the demon god, we must find another way.

She endured her physical discomfort, keeping her eyes fixed on the demon god, carefully observing its every move, trying to find a flaw.

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon god was dealing with Tong Lei's attack, Gu Changzhou moved like a ghost to get behind the demon god.

He concentrated all the power of the stars into the sword, causing it to shine brightly, like a falling star. Gu Changzhou shouted, "Starfall!" and thrust the sword into the demon god's back.

The demon seemed to sense the attack from behind. It shifted its body slightly to the side, and Gu Changzhou's sword failed to hit a vital spot, only leaving a shallow wound on its shoulder, from which black blood flowed.

The demon god, in pain, roared angrily and turned to grab Gu Changzhou with its claw.

Gu Changzhou was unable to dodge in time, and three bloody marks were slashed on his arm, staining his sleeves red with blood.

Seeing this, Liu Sijun was extremely anxious.

She suddenly noticed that every time the demon attacked, the scales on its chest would slightly open, revealing a small gap.

Although the gap was fleeting, a thought struck her: this might be the key to defeating the demon god.

Liu Sijun took a deep breath and shouted to Tong Lei and Min Rui, "Senior Tong, Senior Min, attack the demon god's chest. When it exerts its strength, the scales on its chest will open up, and that's its weak point!" Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood.

Min Rui slammed his hands heavily on the ground and shouted, "Earthquake and mountain tremor, rock-piercing purgatory!"

In an instant, the ground beneath the demon god's feet transformed into a stone forest, with countless sharp rocks piercing towards the demon god's chest from all directions.

The demon roared repeatedly, and black mist condensed on its chest, attempting to withstand the attack of the rocks.

Tong Lei wielded his longsword with impenetrable skill, flames swirling around him to form a massive vortex of fire.

He roared and shoved the vortex of flames toward the demon god's chest.

The vortex of flames, carrying immense force, crashed into the demon god's chest.

At the same time, disregarding his arm injury, Gu Changzhou channeled his Star Power and charged towards the Demon God once more.

He watched the moment the scales on the demon god's chest opened, and with his sword gleaming like a shooting star, he pierced the gap in the demon god's chest.

The demon felt an unprecedented threat and frantically twisted its body, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

However, Min Rui and Tong Lei's attacks firmly restrained it, preventing it from completely avoiding them.

With a "thud," Gu Changzhou's sword successfully pierced the gap in the demon god's chest.
