Chapter 650: Chapter 626: Shadows of the Demon Loom Large

However, just at the moment when the two were about to meet.

The drunkenness in Zhao Changming’s eyes instantly dissipated, and a sharp, cold gleam flashed through.

His Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Zhanyang Blade, suddenly appeared, transforming into a fierce arc, and swiftly slashed towards Yudie’s neck.

This strike was as fast as lightning, ruthless and decisive.

However, as the blade passed, it only sliced through a phantom shadow. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Yudie’s figure dissipated like green smoke, leaving only a string of silver-bell-like laughter in her place.

"Hee hee hee..."

"Master, how ruthless you are!"

"You’re not Yudie. Yudie would never leave the residence."

Zhao Changming said in a deep voice.

This is his family rule.

Yudie never violated it.

At this moment, he found it peculiar.

In Fire Cloud Immortal City, there is a Sect True Pill True Master holding fort, along with the assistance of a Protective Array.

As long as a cultivator casts a spell, there will be a fluctuation of Spiritual Power.

Once the Protective Array detects it, it can lock onto the cultivator and track their actions.

The patrolling Law Enforcement Team nearby would quickly arrive and bring them to justice.

This person had such audacity to impersonate his concubine Yudie and plot against him in Fire Cloud Immortal City.

Isn’t this walking right into a trap?

"Do you have such rules? How troublesome!"

"Forget it. Anyway, it’s all the same."

As soon as the voice fell, the world suddenly changed.

A bone-chilling strange wind arose out of nowhere, and a thick, pitch-black demonic fog surged in from all directions.

In an instant, within a hundred-zhang radius, darkness covered everything, obscuring even the reach of one’s hand.

The bright moon and stars above Fire Cloud Immortal City vanished completely.

Zhao Changming shivered, feeling a bizarre wave of panic envelop his body.

"This isn’t good!"

Zhao Changming was stunned to his core.

He was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a robust flesh body, long weathering neither cold nor heat—how could he feel such fright?

It was an ambush!

He had fallen into the illusion array set by the opponent!

Zhao Changming forced himself to remain calm, fully activating his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Zhanyang Blade.

Blazing Fire Spiritual Power infused within, the blade erupted with roaring flames, shining like a burning sun.

"Slash!"

Zhao Changming shouted in rage, as the Zhanyang Blade ignited a raging fire, attempting to tear apart the layers of black fog.

Yet, the blazing sun’s fire capable of melting gold and stone could only extend a zhang into the black fog, then like a stone dropped into the sea, it gradually extinguished.

Zhao Changming was immensely shocked.

He should have been outside his own doorstep.

However, Fire Cloud Immortal City’s Protective Array had no response whatsoever.

Thus, he had long been trapped within the opponent’s Illusion Array.

"Hehe, stop wasting your efforts."

Yudie’s voice sounded again, elusive and filled with mockery,

"My Heaven-Covering Demon Fog Array isn’t something a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you can break!"

Zhao Changming felt a chill in his heart.

Only until now did he truly realize the terrifying nature of the opponent.

A Nascent Soul Realm Demon Cultivator, setting a Tier Three Illusion Array that could obscure the city’s protective senses.

A coldness like never before instantly enveloped his entire body.

"I don’t believe it!"

Zhao Changming roared angrily, igniting several talismans.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth—the Five Elements all present, each a Tier Two Upper Grade, transforming into streaks of Spiritual Light shooting in all directions.

However, these Tier Two Upper Grade talismans, with considerable power, were even less capable than his Zhanyang Blade’s fire.

They could only penetrate a chi into the black fog before the Spiritual Light dimmed and silently dissipated.

A trace of despair appeared in Zhao Changming’s eyes.

In his hand, he clutched a Tier Three Wind Escape Talisman, continually imbuing Spiritual Power into it.

This was the life-saving card given to him by True Master Yanghuo.

"Who are you, and why are you doing this to me?"

Zhao Changming asked, his face pale, trembling.

"You want to know?"

"I do."

"Not telling you!"

The person laughed like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Hurry!"

Zhao Changming triggered the Wind Escape Talisman, transforming into a breeze, fleeing the scene.

However, a white bone flying sword, emanating a ghastly white, suddenly flew out from the black fog, striking Zhao Changming’s chest, interrupting his Escape Light.

"Didn’t True Master Yanghuo give you only one Tier Three Wind Escape Talisman?"

The person seemed somewhat surprised.

Toward his grandfather, True Master Yanghuo, there was a hint of disdain.

Zhao Changming crashed to the ground, struggling to raise his head.

A mysterious woman wearing a veil slowly walked out from the black fog.

The aura emanating from her was indeed from the Core Formation Realm.

"My grandfather won’t spare you!"

Zhao Changming said fiercely.

"Ignorant junior! Would I fear the old Yanghuo?"

"You go to the Underworld first; the old Yanghuo will soon join you!"

The mysterious woman pointed her finger.

Black fog, like a venomous snake, drilled into Zhao Changming’s body.

Zhao Changming screamed in agony yet could not utter a sound.

His body rapidly withered away, plunging into endless darkness.
