Chapter 297: Chapter 116: Bear Demon Sword Splits Nine, Shackles of Flesh and Blood Shattered

He finally understood why he felt like he was shedding his shackles just now.

Because... he truly broke the shackles.

The shackles of flesh and blood!

When one’s physique becomes strong enough, and the flesh is sufficiently stimulated, it no longer confines to the facade of life.

The manifestation of life is the form.

In the next moment, Li Xuan sensed something, and his flesh suddenly crumbled, contracted, transforming into a white rabbit on the ground.

In another moment, the rabbit’s flesh rolled and further compressed, transforming into a moth.

Yet another moment, Li Xuan’s figure twisted, flesh swelling rapidly, turning him into a magic tiger of considerable size.

’This is the facade of life! And the fire poison can finally be controlled!’

A torrential rain poured down.

In the distance, Senior Sister Feng was also awakened by the rain.

The firelight dimmed, the world was moonless, only the wildly falling lightning serpents emitted a dazzling golden light, tearing across the pitch-black sky.

In this light, a figure came walking from afar.

Senior Sister Feng looked over, seeing it was indeed her junior.

"Junior, your... your clothes?"

"Accidentally ruined them, for now, I’ll use animal skin to make something."

Li Xuan said casually.

The place was desolate, and his incense couldn’t bring him clothes.

Therefore, he used the skin of a beast to cover himself.

...

...

A month later.

The one-armed man wrapped in animal skin and the disheveled Senior Sister Feng finally arrived at the entrance to a certain valley.

In the eerily yellow valley path, the terrain was exceptionally strange.

The mountains and the land seemed to have been casually moved and pressed by a giant’s fingers, presenting a scene that nature would never show.

Feng Mengrou carefully controlled her sword, saying, "Junior, I’ll go up high to take a look first."

Li Xuan said, "If there are demons in this valley, going high would only alert them, better to enter cautiously."

As he spoke, an illusion dummy appeared deep in the valley, seeing a giant four-horned ox with golden-red horns and a body length of about ten feet.

The giant ox’s skin was crimson, its hair like red metal, eyes as red as molten human heads, lying atop a mountain of corpses made of white bones, likely the villagers from a border village in Great Yong.

Upon seeing the illusion dummy, the giant ox actually spoke in human tongue, humbly asking, "Are you sent by the Great Demon outside?"

Li Xuan sensed the demon ox, and the demon ox sensed him as well.

The demonic qi collided, both knowing who was stronger.

Thus, the demon ox acted humbly.

After all... among demons, there isn’t a "must kill the opponent" conflict.

Illusion dummy chuckled, "Yes, and what if I am?"

...

"Junior, be careful, the atmosphere here is off, the kind of power... it’s totally the power to move mountains and overturn seas."

Feng Mengrou looked heavily at the altered terrain in the Valley of the Dead, continuing, "Feng Xiongyi must have drawn that map long ago, if he came again, he would surely know... this Valley of the Dead must have demons."

She spoke with a hint of fear, "Great Demon."

...

...

"Then, I’m willing to submit, calling that Great Demon brother, and ask brother to lead me to reign over this mountain. In the future, if humans come, I’ll let brother eat first."

The demon ox had no intention of resisting.

It could sense the one at the valley entrance was far stronger.

If they truly fought, it was no match for him.

Illusion dummy chuckled, "Alright, but you need to provide proof of submission."

The demon ox asked, "What do you want?"

Illusion dummy slowly approached, suddenly moving like lightning, like a storm, sneering, "Your head!"

...

...

BOOM!!!!

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, as if thousands of giants were beating drums, the Valley of the Dead instantly surging with flying sand and rocks, the already chaotic mountain stones on both sides flew erratically.

The earth cracked, ravines scattered, mountains collapsed, yellow dust billowing.

The fierce wind came from afar, like an invisible giant fist with strange power.

Feng Mengrou’s expression changed drastically, pulling Li Xuan to retreat swiftly.

As they dodged, a shock wave erupted in the air, creating a deep pit where they stood.

"This... this is..."

Feng Mengrou’s face turned pale.

She pulled Li Xuan away further.

Only after retreating over ten miles did they calm slightly, saying, "There are two Great Demons, they... they’re fighting!"
