Chapter 649 - 649 It's Time to End It
649 It’s Time to End It
The strength and speed of the Demon King instantly skyrocketed, and he grabbed the battle-robed man’s spear with one hand and pulled it with all his might.
The man didn’t have time to let go, and he was pulled to the Demon King.
Before he could react, the other arms of the Demon King immediately launched a rain of attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Qiye’s heart raced along with the sound of heavy blows.
The man in the battle robe attacked lost his ability to resist, allowing the storm of fists to hit his chest continuously.
“Pfft!”
Finally, the battle-robed man was unable to block it. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell like a meteor.
“Senior!”
Lin Qiye’s expression changed.
He had overlooked the ability of the demon race to release power.
Caught off guard, the battle-robed man was instantly suppressed by the Demon King, who had suddenly become several times stronger.
After heavily injuring the battle-robed man in one stroke, the Demon King did not stop. In a flash, he charged toward the man who had fallen to the ground.
The ground was covered in energy embers mixed with dust, blocking detection.
Before the Demon King could get close, a deafening roar erupted from within.
“Sun-piercing Dragon!”
Along with the shout, there was a dazzling golden light.
The golden light was like lightning, piercing through the Demon King’s body.
“What… It’s impossible…”
The Demon King looked at the large hole in his chest in disbelief, his eyes widening with shock.
Looking behind him, the battle-robed man held the long spear with both hands and panted heavily.
His ashen face showed that he was in a miserable state.
The two sides separated as soon as they touched, facing each other.
They seemed gravely injured and couldn’t go forward to deal the last blow.
Lin Qiye was anxious. He wanted to help but needed to use his domain’s power to suppress the Demon King.
On the other hand, he had to defend against the demon attacks at all times.
If any of them were to draw out their power, it would cause the entire situation to collapse.
“Senior, how are you?”
Lin Qiye was most concerned about the battle-robed man’s condition.
“I’m fine. I can still hold on.”
The battle-robed man sent a message to Lin Qiye, but his eyes were fixed on the Demon King.
The attack just now was his trump card. He had already consumed much energy and forcefully used it after being critically hit.
The burden on his body was also several times more than when he used it under normal circumstances.
Although from the looks of it, the Demon King seemed to have suffered worse damage from that attack, the wound that had pierced through the Demon King’s chest wasn’t too bad to him. Only the destructive energy wrapped around his wound was preventing it from healing.
It caused the two to suffer almost equal damage.
The two suddenly used strange moves to injure each other severely. For a moment, their combat strength was drastically reduced. No one could guess whether the other still had tricks up their sleeves, so they did not dare to act rashly.
“Damn it. If only Wan Meng is here.”
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth as he watched the two in a stalemate.
He didn’t have Wan Meng’s help right now, and while holding back a few hundred Immortal Realm demons, he was also controlling his domain to suppress the world power of the Demon King. He was almost at his limit.
If he wanted to break out of this situation, it seemed like the only way was to rely on the battle-robed man to suppress the Demon King.
However, he had to do something.
Lin Qiye would never fight a battle without preparation. The reason why he asked about the battle-robed man’s condition first was that he didn’t want to use the moves he had stolen from the demons casually.
The demon could release their power, and so could he.
However, the price of releasing his power was extremely high.
Previously, when Lin Qiye was surrounded by thousands of demons in the Immortal Realm, he had released his energy once.
After releasing his power, more than half of the demons were killed on the spot, but the price he paid was 10% of his origin power.
The origin power was equivalent to the base energy of one’s cultivation realm. Once lost, one could only cultivate it to make up for it.
If too much power were released at once, one’s realm would also decline when the released power disappeared.
Just by releasing 10% of his power, Lin Qiye’s cultivation base had regressed from the peak of the Celestial Realm’s initial stage to the entry stage of the Human Immortal Realm.
If he were to release his energy again, it would definitely cause his cultivation stage to decline greatly. It wouldn’t be strange if he even fell back to the Human Immortal Realm.
It was also why the Demon King would only choose to release his power when he was suppressed to the point where he could not fight back.
“Is this the only way?”
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and was ready to go all out.
However, the Demon King seemed to sense his thoughts.
The moment Lin Qiye chose to release his power, the Demon King’s strength also rose rapidly.
Both sensed the changes in each other, and their expressions changed drastically.
“You’ve also mastered the origin technique?!”
When the Demon King saw Lin Qiye’s strength quickly suppressing the demonic aura, he was shocked and furious.
He endured the pain of his injuries, turned around, and headed straight for Lin Qiye.
Seeing this, the battle-robed male was shocked. He also ignored his injuries and rushed to help.
When the demons saw that the Demon King had come to support them and faced Lin Qiye, whose strength had increased dramatically, they all rushed forward.
“Buy some time for the Supreme! Even if we die, we have to stall him!”
Lin Qiye’s territory and purple lightning had been greatly strengthened. The demons trapping him by force were already covered in wounds from the impact.
However, this was not enough. If he continued to be trapped here, he would suffer a heavy blow from the Demon King.
