Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2240: Chapter 257: The Wang Family United Defends Their Home! Demon Lord Defeated

…

“Demon Lord, you’re using your power to oppress the weak, isn’t that a bit excessive?”

Before the Demon Lord’s attack could fully descend, an elder’s figure emerged from the void, stepping forward to shield the Wang family.

He was clad in a simple, ancient robe. At first glance, he seemed indistinguishable from an ordinary old man, but upon closer inspection, his physique was robust and massive, exuding an imposing and majestic aura. Every gesture was filled with explosive force.

Facing the demonic onslaught like a violent tidal wave, his face showed no trace of fear. A bright golden light emanated from him, like a beacon in the endless darkness.

As he spoke, the elder delivered a punch.

That punch, seemingly unremarkable yet perfectly executed, appeared to contain the profound principles of the Dao.

“Crack-crack!”

Where his fist intent reached, the seemingly solid space cracked like ice, with spider-web-like fractures spreading rapidly outward. The terrifying force made hearts involuntarily tremble.

In just an instant, the space, heavy like a mountain, shattered into countless pieces, swallowing the black tide.

The mighty blow of the Demon Lord vanished into nothingness.

“It’s you, Tianji!” The Demon Lord’s pupils slightly contracted, seemingly surprised, “How bold of you to oppose me.”

“Chao Qiancuo,” Elder Tianji said, hands clasped behind his back, “I didn’t expect that you, the esteemed Demon Lord of the Real Demon Palace, would personally lead an extermination squad to the Dongqian Wang Clan. Wang Ningxi is my favorite student, so naturally, I won’t sit idly by.”

“Just you?” The Demon Lord’s gaze grew colder, “I acknowledge that your puppet body possesses True Immortal combat power. It’s a pity that your Divine Soul is not of a True Immortal, and controlling a True Immortal puppet body in battle consumes a great deal. I wonder how long you can sustain it! You might soon have to burn your Divine Soul, right?”

“I admit I’m no match for you. The only one in the world who can suppress you is probably Immortal Emperor Muyun,” Elder Tianji said solemnly, “But I won’t let you act with impunity and harm the hope of the Human race’s rise.”

Elder Tianji stood with the Wang family not only due to his growing affection for his student Wang Ningxi, of whom he was extremely fond, but also because he had witnessed the potential of the Wang family in all aspects.

This is a miraculous family, a family that could bring endless hope to the Human race.

Even the Shentu and Yun families are far inferior in comparison.

“The hope of the Human race’s rise, is it?” the Demon Lord said calmly, “As a member of the Human race, I naturally also hope for its rise. If so, I’ll give the Wang family an opportunity.”

With that, the Demon Lord scanned the audience, starting with Wang Longyan and Chao Hongjun in combat, finally settling on Wang Shouzhe: “Wang Shouzhe, I’m surprised you’ve come this far, and I have great hopes for your future and that of some family members. If you wish to join me, not only will I forgive all past grievances, but I will also endeavor to support the Wang family.”

Wang Shouzhe smiled, “Thank you, Demon Lord, for the opportunity. But does the Demon Lord no longer need the Dark True Demon Seed?”

“The Dark True Demon Seed is something I am determined to obtain,” the Demon Lord said coldly, “Wang Ruobing’s theft of my Dark True Demon Seed was her own doing. However, I can do my utmost to spare her life.”

“Haha,” Wang Shouzhe laughed, then said sternly, “Since the Demon Lord is so courteous, I’ll extend you a courtesy. If you can publicly record a confession video in the name of the Chao ancestors, stating that you will mend your ways, then I’ll give you an opportunity. All past grievances will be forgiven!”

“Insolent! You’re courting death.” The Demon Lord was thoroughly enraged. His eyes grew cold, and with a flip of the wrist, a black, dangerously ominous Demon Sword appeared in his palm.

This sword is called the [Netherworld Immortal Slaying Saber].

Like the Ming Sha Shura Banner, it is a True Demon Artifact passed down through generations in the Real Demon Palace, though slightly less famous than the Ming Sha Shura Banner. Over the millennia, countless lives have perished under this Demon Sword, and innumerable demonic swords have been crafted in its likeness.

In the past battle against the Demon God of Darkness and Kill, as well as the Dragon Blood Demonic God, the Demon Lord wielded this very True Demon Knife.

“Boom!”

As demonic energy surged in, the Netherworld Immortal Slaying Saber erupted with terrifying aura, slashing directly towards Wang Shouzhe.

In a flash, pure Ming Sha Qi transformed into a refined blade light, with the endless Power of Laws concentrated within.

Where the blade light passed, the void shattered inch by inch, the terrifying demonic might shaking the heavens and earth. With a single slash, it even seemed to cleave the sky in two.

A slash that pierced the void.

The overwhelming demonic might caused everyone’s heart to involuntarily feel a chill. This slash was far stronger than the previous casual strike.

Just as everyone was tense with anticipation.

A brown-yellow figure suddenly appeared, standing between Wang Shouzhe and the blade light.

“Boom!!!”

A massive explosion of energy resounded.

Most of the people’s minds buzzed, unable to hear anything for a moment.

The blazing burst of energy was blindingly bright, causing everyone to see spots before their eyes.

Amid the collision of energies, wave after wave of shock waves swept out like the most terrifying hurricane, causing people to wobble, even making Purple Abode Realm cultivators’ faces turn pale.

Except for Wang Shouzhe, Liu Ruolan, Shentu Jingming, Elder Zhou, Jiang Zhencang, and a few others with strong abilities, almost all the Wang family members involuntarily retreated, staying far away from the battle zone.
