Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 633 Reversal of the Situation

However, as Ye Qingchen swiped his fingers along the sword’s blade, the two clashing attributes were drawn together and unexpectedly began to stabilize!

The great demon was caught completely off guard. Its freshly launched attack crumbled in an instant. Quickly regaining its composure, it gathered the scattered energy and directed it all toward Ye Qingchen.

Ye Qingchen gripped the Double Pupil Sword firmly and met the attack head-on. A Sword Qi woven from red and green energy shot from the blade’s tip, instantly clashing with the great demon.

BOOM...

The two forces collided, creating a series of thunderous roars. Everything within the stone cavern was battered by the powerful shockwave, inevitably suffering destruction!

"You... you brat..." the great demon roared, enraged that its attack had failed to harm him. It funneled all of its Demonic Qi into its claws.

At the same time, the previously balanced power began to press in on Ye Qingchen.

I was injured before, and even after resting, I haven’t fully recovered. That last move was just me applying something I learned during combat.

Ye Qingchen’s expression tightened. This demon is even more troublesome than I thought!

"Young Master, Xiao Xiao will help you!"

Xiao Xiao carefully set the little gray mouse on the ground, but just as she prepared to rush forward, Ye Qingchen sharply stopped her.

"Stay back! I can handle this alone!"

Xiao Xiao froze, her eyes brimming with worry.

The Young Master is clearly struggling, and he’s still injured. Even with a slight advantage in technique and attributes, this will take a huge toll on him! And he still won’t let me help?!

"Xiao Xiao, listen to your Young Master. He knows what he’s doing," Li Nian’er called out. She had found a corner to pin down several other demons. "Besides, he has all his senior martial brothers and sisters here. If anything really happens, we’ll be here to watch his back. Don’t worry!"

Her fiery figure, paired with her perpetually youthful face, was a striking sight as she playfully flicked the small snake coiled around her wrist. At her command, the Heaven-Devouring Azure Python transformed to the size of a man, flanking her as they toyed with the demons. Her casual words somehow brought a sense of calm.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingchen was at a clear disadvantage. The great demon’s arrogant, unrestrained attacks were on the verge of crushing him. Yet, like an indomitable cockroach, he stubbornly held the Double Pupil Sword overhead, forcing his buckled knees to straighten.

The great demon paid no mind to Ye Qingchen’s defiant posture.

A mere first-level Martial Emperor Realm fledgling, daring to venture deep into the Devil’s Cave and disrupt our grand plan! He’s simply courting death!

The Magic Power accumulated in Ye Qingchen’s body began to strengthen his limbs under his guidance, as if every fiber of his being, down to the bone, was filling with immense power. The stone hidden deep within him seemed to sense the external suppression from the Demonic Qi and began to tremble restlessly. The frequency of its vibrations rose sharply, and a subtle force started to emanate from within him.

Sensing time was running out, the great demon couldn’t be bothered to contend with Ye Qingchen any longer and began flapping the pair of rather flimsy wings on its back. As its wings shook violently, the surrounding Demonic Qi converged upon its body. With a slight adjustment, the Demonic Qi surging through it skyrocketed.

However, a mysterious aura suddenly pulsed through the air, causing the demon to pause. The disturbance seemed to originate from deep within Ye Qingchen.

The demon’s behavior grew odd. It raised its hawk-like eyes and stared at Ye Qingchen, as if trying to see something through him.

Ye Qingchen seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the demon’s momentary distraction, he activated his Fire Spirit Charm Shadow and teleported behind it. With lightning speed, he swung the Double Pupil Sword and sliced clean through the wings on the demon’s back!

"AHHH...!"

A piercing shriek echoed throughout the stone cavern. The previously stunned demon now lay sprawled on the ground, Demonic Qi hemorrhaging from its body. Its small wings, dripping dark brown blood and thick Demonic Qi, lay pitifully on the floor.

A demon’s wings were a vital source of its strength. Now that they were severed, the great demon’s power was instantly cut by more than half. The agony in its back twisted the demon’s face into a hideous mask. Demonic Qi from all directions converged on it frantically. Its blood-red eyes locked onto Ye Qingchen, filled with a hatred so intense it looked ready to tear him apart and devour him.

Ye Qingchen had no intention of giving it a chance to retaliate. The moment he struck, he activated his Willow Wood Martial Soul, pushing his defenses to the limit. It was a sneak attack, and the demon is grievously wounded. It definitely won’t let this go!

Sure enough, amidst the excruciating pain, the demon’s will to fight reignited. Its body shot up like a boulder and came crashing down toward Ye Qingchen’s position!

BANG!

Ye Qingchen’s Curtain Willow Defense collided with the descending demon. Countless sparks flew where the two forces met as the situation grew more desperate.

Unable to break through, the demon grew infuriated. It ignited itself with its own Demonic Qi, engulfing its body in dark, orange flames. The Wood Attribute defense was visibly faltering against the demonic fire, on the verge of shattering.

Ye Qingchen gritted his teeth, his mind racing. He suddenly threw the Double Pupil Sword aside and braced against the demon’s assault with his bare hands.

The great demon showed no mercy, hissing coldly, "A mere first-level Martial Emperor, and you’ve lasted this long against me? If you had surrendered earlier, I might have spared you. But now... it’s too late!"

Its disdainful gaze landed on Ye Qingchen as if he were already a corpse.

Nearby, Xiao Xiao held her breath, gripping the Longsword she had hastily conjured, ready to leap into battle at a moment’s notice.

However, just as that thought crossed her mind, the Double Pupil Sword her Young Master had thrown suddenly spun in mid-air. Golden and red flames engulfed the blade. It arced behind the great demon, leaping wildly through the air before plunging straight into its back!

PFFT...

The Double Pupil Sword pierced straight through the demon’s defensive armor and sank deep into its torso. Countless streams of Demonic Qi gushed from the wound. The overwhelming pressure on Ye Qingchen began to weaken and diminish.

The great demon, who had assumed victory was within its grasp, never imagined that the sword he had tossed aside would be the very thing to deal it such a grievous blow.
