Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2687: Chapter 2688: Power of Demonic Nature

While the Great Crown Prince was in a dire situation, Ye Luo and Luo Xue were locked in an intense battle.

However, as Luo Xue fought, her own conscious awareness began to gradually revive, greatly affecting the combat power of her demonic nature!

”Damn it, you have indeed betrayed me! I’ll give you one more chance. Join forces with me to kill this boy, and we can return to our previous state. You and I are one. It’s just that your heart dedicated to the Sword Dao has changed, and it’s all because of this boy. As long as he dies, your Dao heart can still be restored!” Luo Xue shouted angrily into the air.

Ye Luo understood that this was entirely a conflict of emotions within Luo Xue, as her body was now controlled by her demonic nature.

Yet, in this struggle, the power of her demonic nature was significantly weakened.

This was Ye Luo’s chance!

Earlier, Ye Luo had been suppressing his power, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!

Suddenly, his momentum surged again, and a large quantity of Demonic Qi surged out from his Demon Body. Simultaneously, the strength of Ye Luo’s physical body climbed steadily upward!

Nuonuo Divine Technique!

With the boost from this technique, his strength had reached an entirely new level.

Without hesitation, he smashed a punch towards the Luo Xue Sword.

”Damn it, kill for me!”

Luo Xue sensed her doom was near, and even the Luo Xue Sword started to tremble slightly.

Just as she raised her sword, Ye Luo’s punch landed with immense force.

Rumble!

A loud explosion echoed, causing cracks to appear in the array of the Cave Mansion!

Simultaneously, the entire Demon God’s Mountain trembled slightly.

Many disciples on the mountain flew out in astonishment, watching everything unfold. Of course, the array within the Cave Mansion not only served as a defense but also blocked investigations.

Therefore, not only the disciples but even the high-ranking officials of the Demon God’s Hall could not discern the events within!

As these arrays were constructed by those old monsters of the Demon God’s Hall, their purpose was to prevent anyone from observing the secrets of the disciples! Thus, even the high officials did not know what was happening now.

However, everyone understood that someone must be cultivating some peerless technique inside the Cave Mansion! Naturally, nobody believed that there was a fight within the Cave Mansion, as it was the most private place—who would allow an enemy into their Cave Mansion?

After Ye Luo’s strike, Luo Xue’s complexion drastically changed; a massive amount of Demonic Qi seeped from her body, her momentum receding sharply, and the glow of the Luo Xue Sword dimmed considerably.

Moreover, the power of the demonic nature was now insufficient to control her body; her body shook violently, clearly indicating that Luo Xue’s consciousness was battling against the power of the demonic nature!

Thus, even if Ye Luo did nothing, it was evident that Luo Xue could overcome the demonic power and return to the world.

Nevertheless, the suppressed demonic power would eventually pose a huge threat, as it would grow alongside Luo Xue’s Sword Dao cultivation!

It could be said that this was her Heart Demon, having become an independent consciousness, lurking within her!

In realization of this, a cold gleam flashed in Ye Luo’s eyes.

The power of the metal spear!

Ye Luo’s Divine Sense surged wildly!

After all, in saving Luo Xue’s life, Ye Luo had to take risks, as the array within the Cave Mansion could indeed block most of the Demon Race’s investigation, yet it could not hide from those few old monsters.

Ye Luo could only hope that those old monsters weren’t paying attention to him, for if his Divine Sense was exposed, his identity might also be revealed.

In a moment of crisis, he could not afford to care about that.

Once the Divine Sense attack was released, the consciousness of the demonic nature immediately roared in outrage as it suffered an annihilative assault!

”Boy, trying to kill me? That’s impossible. I’ll make sure you constantly live in unrest with the Curse of Demonic Thoughts!”

Upon hearing its roar, Ye Luo felt a sense of unease.

Then, the remnant of the demonic consciousness turned into a stream of light, rushing straight toward Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was naturally prepared; however, his Divine Sense strength couldn’t thwart this stream of light!

Though it was still a power of Divine Sense, it was apparent that a mysterious force was intertwined within it.

Ye Luo realized this was likely the power of the curse Luo Xue mentioned.

However, this power was relatively weak, and even if it hit Ye Luo, it wouldn’t cause him any substantial harm.

After all, even a curse has varying strengths, and it’s not like a slight bit of curse power could claim someone’s life.

But what surprised Ye Luo was that this power did not shoot toward him but instead entered the Lingyun Sword.

This changed his expression suddenly; although he wasn’t exclusively a Sword Cultivator, he and Xiao Ling had shared adversity and already regarded the Sword Spirit as a close companion.

”Xiao Ling, are you okay?” Ye Luo quickly inquired with his Divine Sense.

Shortly after, a trace of Divine Sense was transmitted back.

”I’m fine. That power poses no threat to me; it merely entered the Lingyun Sword!”

This left Ye Luo a bit troubled. Initially, if the demonic consciousness had stayed within Luo Xue, it could erupt at any time, like a ticking bomb! But now, this ticking bomb had transferred to him!

Thereafter, he meticulously examined the Lingyun Sword with his Divine Sense, even activating the Clairvoyant Eye, yet to no avail!

He simply couldn’t discern where the deep consciousness of the curse was hiding.

Having checked thoroughly, he had no choice but to stop. Meanwhile, Luo Xue finally regained her rationality, but her eyes were vacant, her expression dejected, with no trace of Demonic Qi emanating from her, turning entirely into an ordinary woman.

Ye Luo knew her Sword Dao had completely collapsed, her lifetime of strength vanished, after so many years of cultivation, to end this way, it was hard for anyone to accept.

”Are you... alright?”

Ye Luo approached, unsure of how to console Luo Xue.

It was only after this that Luo Xue came to her senses, a resigned look appearing on her face.

”As I said before, living the life of an ordinary person for a while would mean the heavens are not unkind to me!”

Though she said this, Ye Luo knew she was, of course, deeply saddened within.

”Why would you say that? Your Sword Dao had inherent issues. If you continued cultivating it, it could lead to great trouble. You’d eventually become a puppet of slaughter. Now that the chronic issue is removed, isn’t this the time for you to pursue the true Sword Dao?” Ye Luo said slowly.

Luo Xue was momentarily stunned; she realized now that her previous Sword Dao indeed had problems. However, after so many years, now starting over seemed akin to beginning all over again.
