CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 198: SERIOUS INJURY (SECOND UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Swish!

With a flash of sword light, the golden shield was cleaved in two.

The sword light continued to slay downward, tearing through the protective gang qi. With a fierce sound, the Purple Mansion Cultivator was split in two on the spot, his body falling to the ground,

At this moment, Liu Ruming, her expression cold, said, "Come out!"

"Friend, you are indeed formidable!"

At this moment, a shadow stepped out of the void, clad in a pitch-black robe, standing tall, with golden eyes and golden hair, handsome features exuding an aura of superiority.

Swish, swish!

At this moment, with the accompanying sounds, shadows appeared as if they were lying in ambush here.

They stood in different corners, not seeking to attack, but merely blocking the void around, wielding array flags to cut off any escape route.

"Xu Mi Demon Monarch!"

Liu Ruming’s expression slightly changed, seemingly recognizing the identity of the person before her.

"Friend, it is indeed I who blocked your path here. You are a prodigy of the Jin Xi lineage, with terrifying talent and monstrous aptitude, promising future to reach Nascent Soul True Monarch. With you alive, many cannot sleep soundly, please, friend, return to the void!"

Xu Mi Demon Monarch spoke, his words respectful, like a refined gentleman.

"Indeed, my human tribulation has come!"

Liu Ruming said, "The Celestial Tribulation is easy to pass, the Life Tribulation is easy to pass, but the Human Tribulation is unpredictable. My master said that if I stayed at Purple Sun Mountain, I could indeed avoid this calamity, but as the calamities accumulate, I would inevitably fall into eternal damnation. Better to pass through the calamity while it isn’t severe yet!"

"The human tribulation has come, this is a good thing, yet you few cannot hold me!"

Although she spoke lightly, her gaze scanned around, and as she looked at the sky, she found it darkening, seemingly sealed by a formidable array, silently.

Within a ten-year radius, everything was confined by the array, forming a net of heaven and earth.

"I am your human tribulation, taking this opportunity to capture you alive and bring you back to Yue Country. I happen to be in need of a Demon Consort like you, the Unparalleled Sword Cultivator, who is quite intriguing, especially with your Primordial Yin!"

Xu Mi Demon Monarch laughed, "Years ago, Jin Xi old thief killed my father, I couldn’t do anything to her, so I would take her proud disciple. I have been waiting here for a long time, laying various schemes, friend, today you are bound to fall into calamity! Don’t vainly hope for rescue, to trap you, I had a Golden Core elder disrupt the celestial secret."

"Just you, and you think you can trap me completely."

Liu Ruming said, "In the past, just a defeated foe, what I couldn’t do before, today I shall use your blood to hone my sword!"

"Friend, and I am with you!"

At this moment, a black-robed woman spoke, holding a scepter, coldly saying, "I might be inferior to the friend, but strength is for comparison in battle!"

"I, Purple Moon Demon Monarch, lingered at the Ninth-Layer of the Purple Mansion for three hundred years, but the Celestial Tribulation suppresses our Demon Dao lineage severely, the calamity is ten times that of orthodox cultivators! If not for this, I would have long become a Golden Core Great Cultivator." At this moment, a woman appeared, dressed in purple, with a crescent moon mark on her brow.

Her words carried resentment toward the Heavenly Dao.

"I, Bai Xi Demon Monarch, may still withstand a few of your swords!"

Another Demon Monarch spoke.

He stood empty-handed, head high, his body itself being the best magical treasure.

Then another Demon Monarch appeared, followed by another, until there were eight.

These demon cultivators, all at the Ninth-Layer of the Purple Mansion, deeply accumulated, strong combat power, no inferior to an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator. If not for the ferocity of the Demon Dao Celestial Tribulation, they would have long passed it and embraced the Golden Core.

In addition to the eight Demon Monarchs, other Demon Sect cultivators appeared one after another, forming grand arrays to seal everything.

Chu Country, dominated by the Immortal Dao;

Yue Country, dominated by the Demon Dao.

The appearance of Yue Country’s demon cultivators in Chu Country is a significant event.

Without certain cultivators leading the way, avoiding the vague nodes, these demon cultivators would not be able to appear here at all.

This is a big trouble!

The situation is quite dangerous!

Liu Ruming had no time to think about who the insider of the demon cultivators was, who was betraying Chu Country, she only felt the danger.

A single mistake, and her path could end here.

"How about it? Is my lineup not enough to suppress you?" Xu Mi Demon Monarch smiled slightly, his energy locked on to Liu Ruming.

At any moment, ready to launch a lethal strike.

Liu Ruming said, "I never thought I’d be so calculated against, eight Demon Monarchs besiege me, if I die here today, it’ll be worth it. During my time at the Purple Mansion, my master predicted my future, saying I had three death tribulations, this might very well be one of them!"

"Then let’s battle!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

At this moment, the energy around Liu Ruming surged, an anomaly appeared behind her, a Cyan Dragon danced, a White Tiger leaped, a Vermilion Bird soared, a Black Tortoise flew.

As her aura boiled, four treasure swords appeared, suspended above her head.

One sword was cyan, exuding rich Wood Qi;

One sword was white, exuding rich Geng Metal Qi;

One sword was red, exuding rich Li Fire Qi;

One sword was blue, exuding rich Sunflower Water Qi.

Swish, swish!

Her body flickered, simultaneously attacking four Demon Monarchs.

In one strike, dominating the world like a Demon God descending.

"What a Peerless Sword Immortal, everyone believed Fairy Ruming to be a Dual Spirit Root Cultivator, perhaps a Four Spirit Root Cultivator, but who would have thought you’re a Four Spirit Root Cultivator. Relying on Four Spirit Roots, not only did you establish the Foundation, become a Purple Mansion, but also reach the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion, Golden Core is within reach!"

Xu Mi Demon Monarch laughed.

This time, Liu Ruming could no longer hide her trump cards.

Everything was fully displayed.

She was indeed a Four Spirit Root.

Generally, a Four Spirit Root cultivator would struggle a lifetime to establish the Foundation; even if they did, their path was limited.

But Liu Ruming broke through the shackles, turning the impossible into possible, entering the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion, with a Golden Core in sight.

Boom, boom, boom!

With fierce sounds, both sides clashed together.

Seven Demon Monarchs retreated repeatedly, sword wounds appearing on their bodies, only Xu Mi Demon Monarch remained unmoved.

Liu Ruming stepped back nine paces, her body swayed slightly, a stuffy groan from her nose, a mouthful of blood spat from her mouth, her arm trembling slightly.

"With your strength alone, you resist eight Demon Monarchs, if you survive, you would be another Golden Dawn Ancestor. Unfortunately, to scheme against you this time, I paid a huge price, this time you are bound to be captured!"

"To deal with me, you must pay a heavy price."

Liu Ruming said coldly, "In today’s battle, let’s see how many of the eight Demon Monarchs survive!"

"Then let’s see who has the better means!"

Xu Mi Demon Monarch laughed coldly, "Deploy the grand array!"

Rumble!

Immediately, the surrounding demon cultivators operated, array flags began to move, approximately one hundred and eight Demon Flags operated, transforming into a terrifying array, enveloping Liu Ruming.

The battle, instantly entered a tragic phase.
