That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

In this critical moment, Liu Huan dared not harbor any thoughts of concealing his abilities.

Before Cole's identity was revealed, he had already secretly activated the Demon Swordsman Seed in his dantian!

With a conscious effort, the seed floating in the dantian sprouted again, and a tender green shoot unfolded and reappeared in the world in a small space.

Last time, the Demon Swordsman Seed was able to sprout only because of Liu Huan's extreme anger. It did not absorb enough energy and had to temporarily overdraw its body to transform, eventually reverting back to the seed.

But now, after more than two months of nurturing, the situation is quite different.

The seed sprouts anew, and this time it will not revert to a seed due to physical limitations!

In the blink of an eye, his originally jet-black and shiny short hair was like ink dripping into a glass of water, gradually covered with a golden yellow, and his black pupils were gradually replaced by dark red.

The aura that had seemed weak in front of Cole suddenly surged like a volcanic eruption!

shhhhh--

A vacuum zone appears in a circle with a radius of 30 centimeters, centered on Liu Huan.

The dust and pebbles around them were blown away and splashed onto the surrounding stone walls.

Cole noticed Liu Huan's sudden change in demeanor and his eyes lit up with interest.

"Oh, you are the first human I have ever seen who can transform like us demons. Your aura and strength have more than doubled. Although you are not as good as a level one magical beast, you are very close."

Although the Demon Swordsman stance was extremely intimidating to him, Cole remained calm and composed, like an old man sitting on a fishing platform.

He said with a regretful expression:

"What a pity. I didn't originally intend to kill you two. If you hadn't exposed my identity, I could have gone back safely. Now, tsk tsk!"

"Heh, if you devour that level four magical beast, even if we escape back to Maple Leaf Town, we'll only be dead!"

Liu Huan raised his sword and said coldly, "But if I kill you now, I can nip a future chaos that could overthrow the kingdom in the bud!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Cole immediately burst into laughter, wiping away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes:

"You want to kill me? With just the two of you?!"

Upon hearing this, Virgil, who was some distance away, trembled as if he were shaking a leaf, biting his thumb and unable to hold back his wailing:

"I just wanted to go out and gain some experience, how did I end up encountering the demon race, something that happens only once in a century?!"

When Adeline left the tribe, he repeatedly warned them about things to be careful of, with the demons being the most important.

You absolutely must not get entangled with these disgusting things. Even for professionals, encountering demons is a near-certain death.

Liu Huan's eyes flashed with seriousness. "That's right, I will fight to the death to kill you!"

Like an arrow released from a bow, he flashed and instantly appeared behind Cole, his longsword gleaming with a sharp, cold light as he thrust it toward the enemy's neck.

The core of a demon is located at the back of its head. If this core is not destroyed, even crushing the demon's heart will have no effect.

Cole was also a veteran of countless battles, possessing all sorts of bizarre and unpredictable abilities. A stream of scarlet blood appeared on his arm, like ice water freezing into ice, quickly transforming into a red shield to protect the back of his head.

clang-

The longsword felt as if it had pierced steel, and the blade groaned as it could not withstand the impact. Liu Huan's arm also went numb.

"What?"

This was the first time Liu Huan had encountered such a situation; even the sword energy wrapped in golden sharpness could not break through his defenses.

The next second, Cole grinned and teleported in front of Liu Huan, his arm transforming into a spear that pierced straight through Liu Huan's abdomen.

puff~

Fresh blood mixed with fragments of internal organs splattered onto the ground like tofu curds. Liu Huan felt a surge of hot blood welling up in his throat, and he spat out a large pool of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Virgil's eyes widened in fury, and he charged at Cole with his scimitar.

Cole's eyes turned cold. With a wave of his hand, a purplish-black energy transformed into a whip, sending him flying. He fell to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"Splash!"

Cole pulled his hand out, along with some broken pieces, and Liu Huan couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Liu Huan's consciousness gradually faded, but there seemed to be a force preventing him from falling into a deep sleep. The wound that had pierced his abdomen was covered by a green patch, and his body was repairing itself at a visible speed.

When Cole saw this, curiosity appeared in his eyes. He had never seen anything so bizarre before: a boy on the verge of death possessing such terrifying regenerative abilities.

Under the influence of this energy filled with the power of nature, Liu Huan's mind gradually cleared, and he recalled the scene when he was cultivating his mind.

Bian Xiaotian once told him that the most important thing about the Clear Mind Realm is to condense the loose and scattered consciousness, which is like boundless water, into a high-quality sharp blade.

Finally, using this spiritual blade, I broke through the mental barrier in one fell swoop!

Is the elemental power surrounding the sword of the magic swordsman too loose, causing the indestructible sword aura to fail when it encounters Cole's defense?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he swung his sword with all his might to repel Cole.

Immediately, Liu Huan quickly entered a state of mental clarity, consciously purifying and condensing a finger-thick piece of gold into a strand the size of a hair.

Once loose magic power solidifies, it becomes extremely difficult to control. Liu Huan gritted his teeth and painstakingly covered the blade of the greatsword with this wisp of golden sharpness.

Seeing Liu Huan's solemn expression and wondering what he was doing, Cole sensed something was wrong. Instead of standing idly by, he chose to take the initiative.

With a light step, he transformed into a black lightning bolt, heading straight for Liu Huan.

Virgil, his body aching all over, struggled to his feet, feeling as if his skeleton had crumbled. He saw Cole charging towards him, but Liu Huan remained motionless, much to his shock:

"Liu Huan, the demons are attacking!"

To their surprise, Liu Huan suddenly revealed his true colors, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and he roared:

"Perfect timing!"

Cole's demonic claws clashed with the longsword that shone with dazzling golden light, engulfing the entire space in blinding light.

In a mere instant, the outcome was decided.

The magic shield that Cole used to protect the core was split in two by a sharp sword, as if it were plaster that could be crushed with a pinch, and the gap was extremely smooth.

He opened his mouth:

"This, how is this possible? How could someone like you, who isn't a superhuman, possibly break my shield? Clearly, clearly..."

At the moment of death, Cole's thin body burst like a deflated hot air balloon, his skin dry and wrinkled like tree bark.

Liu Huan, panting heavily, watched as the demon who had possessed Cole's body died completely before finally throwing down his weapon and slumping down.

"Holy crap! I almost died this time!"

He touched his chest, feeling the healthy beating of his heart, and said with lingering fear:

"What is that green energy? Could it be magic left over from Selena's healing last time, or something else?"

Virgil walked over, clutching his severed right arm. He looked at Cole, who lay lifeless on the ground, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This was a being that even the clan leader feared and was unwilling to be an enemy of, yet Liu Huan actually killed the demon!

Although this demon possessed Cole's weakened body, it was unable to exert its full strength and had suffered a fierce battle, resulting in a significant reduction in its combat power.

Yet it remains an existence that everyone fears and dreads!

"Let's go back first. We can explore the underground prison more thoroughly tomorrow!"

With Virgil's help, Liu Huan took the elevator back to the ground.

Elvira was shocked to see the two injured people. After learning what had happened, she remarked on their good fortune in surviving.

She patted her rather well-built chest and said confidently:

"I'll escort you to collect your loot tomorrow!"
