He sensed a stronger aura from Long Haoyu than from Long Haochen.

His cold gaze swept toward the cave where Haoyue was breaking through, but he didn't pay much attention to Long Haoyu.

He raised his staff high, and beams of dark light fell on the Skeleton King beside him.

With the Lich's blessing, the Skeleton King's aura began to rise, and he was now able to easily overpower Long Haoyu.

Having completed the spell, the lich continued his ascent up the mountain, not forgetting his primary objective: to prevent the evolution of Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution.

As he walked up the mountain, the lich glanced at Long Haoyu with a hint of contempt. He didn't believe that having one more Long Haoyu in front of his undead army would change the final outcome.

Not to mention that Long Haoyu could interfere with what he was doing, it was still unknown whether Long Haoyu could even break through the undead army.

However, just as he was about to focus all his attention on the cave, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Having gathered his strength, Long Haoyu made his move.

The blade in his hand, imbued with golden and gray power, sliced ​​through his undead army as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, wave after wave of undead armies fell under Long Haoyu's heavy sword.

This was completely different from Long Haochen's performance in the past hour. In terms of pure offensive ability, he judged that Long Haoyu was far superior to Long Haochen.

"No wonder they dared to come to our aid at this time."

"Then let's see just how many undead you can cut down!"

The lich gave a cold snort, and the staff in his hand continued to unleash beams of black light.

Strange roars echoed through the undead army.

A large group of skeletons seemed to come alive, brandishing their bone knives and charging towards Long Haoyu in a relentless attack.

The concept of death seemed to be nonexistent in their minds; they had only one purpose: to follow the instructions of the lich and completely annihilate Long Haoyu here.

As the undead army moved, the Skeleton King charged towards Long Haoyu, his body and bone blades, much stronger than the other skeletons, creating a whooshing sound.

"boom--"

At that moment, a small, milky-white cauldron crashed into the Skeleton King.

Skeleton King's original intention was to attack Long Haoyu, making Long Haoyu the first opponent he needed to kill.

The Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace activated, forcibly deflecting his attack, which ultimately slashed towards the oncoming Long Haochen.

With the Shield of Light blocking the bone blade, Long Haochen swung his lightsaber at the Skeleton King.

"Brother, leave the Skeleton King to me!"

"Don't worry about dealing with the Lich King, I can handle the Skeleton King here!"

Long Haochen shouted loudly, and the Shield of Radiance burst forth with dazzling golden light in his hand.

At this moment, he brought his Guardian Knight abilities to their fullest potential.

To some extent, at this point, his skill in protecting the knights was far superior to Han Yu's.

After all, this is Long Haoyu's timeline. For the past few years, he has been focusing on the path of the Guardian Knight and has not let the dual cultivation of the Punisher Knight's skills affect his Guardian Knight training.

The Skeleton King was extremely frustrated, being forcibly disturbed by the Holy Guiding Furnace, especially since the Holy Guiding Furnace was also emitting a light attribute power that he loathed. He couldn't help but let out a roar.

Seeing that the Skeleton King's attack was drawn away by Long Haochen, Long Haoyu glanced at him briefly before focusing his attention back on the endless army of skeletons in front of him.

However, while observing the army of skeletons, he was more focused on examining the lich.

Even if he possesses the white beast's regenerative abilities, and even if he can release the demonic realm from the Asura path to heal himself.

But human strength has its limits, and it's impossible to completely annihilate the skeleton army, so he stuck to what he had just said to Long Haochen.

To catch the thief, first catch the king. Once the lich is dealt with, the skeleton army here will no longer pose any threat, and they can buy more time.

"Human! You actually dare to attack me?!"

"If you wish to protect a reincarnated great demon king like Austin Griffin, you can only die here!"

The lich noticed the dangerous glint in Long Haoyu's eyes; his tattered, brown robe fluttered in the wind.

His withered face was devoid of any color, yet it revealed his intense anger.

He had previously given Long Haochen a chance to return to his original plane, but Long Haochen showed him through his actions that he could only kill Long Haochen here.

Long Haoyu arrived as reinforcements, and his attitude was clearly the same as Long Haochen's, so the only option was to kill Long Haoyu here as well.

He felt no remorse for his decision; anyone who stood in his way of stopping Austin Griffin's evolution deserved to die.

The Bone Staff was raised once more in his hand, and the dark gray cloud beneath his feet began to surge with terrifying dark attribute power.

At the same time, the two eerie green flames burning in his eye sockets seemed to boil even more intensely.

Long Haoyu observed the changes in the lich while hacking at the skeleton minions around him, pondering how to deal with the lich.

He vaguely remembered that his younger brother had originally used the Holy Spirit Furnace to perform an unexpected attack, which ultimately defeated the lich.

Now that he has appeared, and Long Haochen is focused on dealing with the Skeleton King, the Lich's attitude has clearly changed.

Therefore, the unexpected attack should not be able to be replicated. Coupled with the lich's rage at this moment, he probably also anticipated that the lich would go all out to deal with him in the shortest time and then kill Haoyue.

Having analyzed the situation, Long Haoyu suddenly unleashed a sword beam with his sword, shattering many of the skeleton minions. He then held the sword horizontally in front of him, and a terrifying aura began to erupt from his body.

Previously, the gray energy flow was merely mixed with the golden spiritual energy, but now it has become much stronger, showing a strong momentum to overtake the golden spiritual energy.

His battle against Han Yu was not at his peak strength.

His battle with Yang Wenzhao was not actually at his peak strength.

Being part of the Human Alliance, there are many constraints on how he can truly demonstrate his strength. Therefore, he has never revealed his true power to anyone so far, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Temple's higher-ups.

However, in the world today, there is no need to worry about this aspect. Without these concerns, he can fully display his true strength at this moment.

For example, the portion of the heaven-defying demonic dragon bloodline he inherited from his maternal grandfather can erupt unrestrained.

Unleash your full power in the guise of demon slayer!

Long Haoyu's pupils began to contract, becoming only the size of pinpoints, revealing his composure.

Faintly, a chilling light emanated from within.

Even the lich, who was far more powerful than him, seemed to have lost all color in his eyes at this moment.

The lich noticed these changes in Long Haoyu and was about to go all out to finish him off before stopping Haoyue's actions, when suddenly he stopped.

The eerie green flames flickering in their eye sockets seemed to be on the verge of going out.

"The power of this bloodline..."

"It seems to be the bloodline of one of the most powerful races that have already fled this world!"

Chapter 155 The Demon Emperor (Replica)

The gray air currents grew stronger.

In a mere instant, Long Haoyu was enveloped in an aura of gray spiritual energy.

The golden spiritual power that originally belonged to his knightly side was completely suppressed at this moment.

Only faint traces of golden spiritual energy could be seen surging within the gray airflow, but they were very inconspicuous.

Long Haoyu was no stranger to his current state; he had entered this state countless times in the Shadow Space.

But this is reality after all, and there are still many differences between the real body and the body formed in the shadow space that bears this state.

Adapting to his current changes, Long Haoyu held the bladeless sword in one hand and gently stroked the edge of the sword with the other.

The blade, which had been buzzing incessantly, fell silent at this moment. Its uneven surface seemed to bring him true peace.

His icy gaze carried an aura of murderous intent.

If there were any demons here at this moment, they would surely be horrified by his current state.

Such a state is not even seen in A Bao, the current first in line to succeed the Demon God Emperor.

To be honest, Long Haoyu at this moment is more like a replica of the Demon God Emperor, except that he is the Demon God Emperor in his younger days.

However, even in his current state, he still exerted extreme pressure on the Lich, even though his strength was higher than Long Haoyu's.

It was as if the pressure on his bloodline made him somewhat unable to move.

The lich's withered face was filled with horror, and the will-o'-the-wisps in his eye sockets began to flicker again, much more intensely than before, reflecting the unease in his mind.

Step by step, the lich retreated backward, and even dared not look directly into Long Haoyu's eyes.

Those indifferent eyes were so unsettling that even this lich, who was used to life and death, found it hard to bear.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"How could you, a human, possibly have the blood of that race?"

"Could it be that you've returned? Did you break through the limitations of different dimensions and come back to this world?"

The lich's words received no response. Long Haoyu rubbed the bladeless sword in his palm while looking at Long Haochen, who was fighting the Skeleton King.

The lich was somewhat unsettled and had not yet fully mastered his control over the Skeleton King. The Skeleton King, who could exert great pressure on Long Haochen, was now being fought to a standstill by Long Haochen.

Long Haoyu felt relieved; he had come to this world of the dead only to protect his little brother.

If everyone else has come here and Long Haochen still encounters an accident, then he definitely won't be able to forgive himself.

While parrying the Skeleton King's attacks, Long Haochen looked over at Long Haoyu.

Unlike before, although he was also surprised by his older brother's change, Chen's eyes now showed a lot more determination.

All the questions he wanted to ask were swallowed back down his throat at that moment, and he devoted all his energy back to the battle with the Skeleton King.

After confirming that Long Haochen was alright, Long Haoyu looked at the small white beast on his shoulder.

In his demon-controlling state, he unleashed all his power, so the bloodline power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan must have been revived at this moment.

The white beast is a pure light-attribute magical beast, and naturally it is very averse to the dark attribute.

Even Long Haoyu's magical beast companions were somewhat startled by Long Haoyu's change, but instead of running away, they firmly gripped his clothes with their four little paws.

Her rosy little eyes were filled with a determined look.

Blood-bonded partners, inseparable and forever.

"You little rascal, you're so scared, yet you're still staying here?" Long Haoyu smiled wickedly. "Since you're so scared, then you shouldn't stay here for now."
