The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 456: Don’t laugh anymore, or there won’t be anyone left.
For Wu Xin, her life was nearing its end at this moment.
She had been a demon for many years; she hadn’t kept specific track of her age, but it had been a very long stretch of time. At the very least, it had been five thousand years.
Emerging from a desolate and ruined graveyard without knowledge of her origins, she stepped into the mortal world, saw much deceit and treachery, grew accustomed to the malevolence of human hearts, and gradually awakened to her own power.
She was different from other members of the Demon Race; she was not a descendant of a union between ancient demons and humans. As she regained her power, she acquired the strength of a Great Demon, while the others remained lesser demons.
But Wu Xin still felt that this was not her limit; she was missing something important, and over the years, she had been in pursuit of what she had lost.
During this journey, she encountered other demons who were ostracized by the Human Race after awakening to their power; she even joined an organization aimed at overturning the Human Race and restoring the glory of the Demon Race.
The ideals of Wu Xin were different from theirs; humans should follow the human way, and demons have the Demonic Path. This world was not the best fit for the Demon Race; they could survive but struggled to thrive.
If the Demon Race wanted to grow, they could only return to the mythical Demon Land.
The concept of the Demon Land was also learned from other members of the Demon Race. Wu Xin felt that what she had lost might be in the Demon Land.
Because she had searched everywhere in this world.
Later, this arrogant organization was destroyed by the alliance of the Human Race. The five Sword Saints back then were fierce; Wu Xin was no match for them and had no choice but to gather the remnants of her organization and go into hiding.
This organization was called the Ancient Demon Sect.
It was only after experiencing failure that Wu Xin realized that, in this world, although the power of the Human Race might not match that of the Demon Race, the world seemed to protect the Human Race. Whenever a catastrophe loomed, extraordinary talents would emerge among humans.
Therefore, she had not intended to make an enemy of the Human Race before breaking through to the Demon Land. If she managed to break through to the Demon Land, the situation might be different.
But unexpectedly, to break through to the Demon Land, she had to strike at the Human Race first and confront the pinnacle of human power.
Wu Xin had no choice but to accept the challenge. Perhaps this was fate; she could not return to the Demon Land smoothly. To fulfill her desire, a price had to be paid.
Unfortunately, she knew the Human Race would have powerful people emerge, but she didn’t expect them to be this excessive.
This Yuxuan was even fiercer than the five Sword Saints from back then...
She thought that with two Heavenly Demon Instruments, she could not lose, but in the end, she lost everything.
From having nothing, to now having gathered all the demons under heaven and becoming a leader, she had struggled for so many years; how could she fall here?
But who could have expected, after toiling for five thousand years, to be beaten back to square one by Yuxuan in one swoop?
At the Yuqing Platform, not all the members of the Demon Race were present, but most of them were. Except for her and Hu Yuling, the lives of the other demons dissipated under the starlight net. The foundation that had been built over thousands of years was destroyed in an instant, and she too was on the brink of death.
Wu Xin was filled with unwillingness, and the two Heavenly Demon Instruments shared this sentiment.
They were not ordinary objects, meant to dominate the world. Yet, they were suppressed upon their creation, and it was only after the weakening of the seals over time that they finally saw the light of day again. However, shortly after their emergence, the envisioned dominance was nonexistent; one was beaten from the outset, and the other, upon finding a favored master, was heartlessly rejected.
Tragic!
They didn’t know that one unlucky soul had already been burned to nothing. If they had known, perhaps they wouldn’t feel so aggrieved.
Anyway, at this moment, the wills of Wu Xin and the two Heavenly Demon Instruments highly aligned. Wu Xin refused to be killed off so easily, and she gathered all her strength in the Heavenly Demon Hand. At this moment, the Demon Summoning Well also gave it all, pouring all the power it could muster into the Heavenly Demon Hand.
If only they could break through this starry net, there was a sliver of hope for survival. Wu Xin’s Escape Technique could take them all and run.
At this time, they were united like never before.
However, right at that moment, Yuxuan retracted the starry net, catching Wu Xin completely off guard.
And the power of this punch was too great, beyond her control, and even the Heavenly Demon Hand couldn’t handle it; it had already unleashed its strongest force, employing its most powerful spell, the Heavenly Demon Tearing Hand.
When Yuxuan suddenly withdrew the starry net, the burst of Black and White Qi was still released, merging with the Heavenly Demon Tearing Hand. Instead of neutralizing the Heavenly Demon Tearing Hand’s power, it further amplified it. The blow, originally aimed at the sky, took a turn because of Yuxuan’s maneuver and slammed between Yuqing Mountain and Shangqing Mountain.
"???"
For a moment, Wu Xin was bewildered, unsure of Yuxuan’s motive, but then she saw where the Heavenly Demon Tearing Hand struck, and not to mention the shattered rocks, a deep and mysterious portal was slowly opening.
This...
Wu Xin suddenly realized what Yuxuan’s true scheme was.
He didn’t want the Heavenly Demon Instruments, nor her, but rather the full force of her wielding the Heavenly Demon Instruments to attack this spot for him.
What was he plotting?
Wu Xin sensed the crack she had created and felt a breath of death coming from within.
Was this the Netherworld Realm?
Wu Xin was terrified to consider the possibility, but dared not delay any further. At this point, she was at the end of her strength. She couldn’t even afford bitter words, even if Yuxuan had schemed against her, she was powerless against him now.
Her only option was to make a quick escape!
Wu Xin was preparing to call Hu Yuling to run with her, and just as she was about to grab Hu Yuling’s hand, she suddenly saw a golden sword piercing through Hu Yuling’s chest.
Wu Xin couldn’t believe her eyes and turned her head, only to meet Hu Yuling’s resolute gaze.
"You are also a demon, why would you betray me?"
After being defeated by Yuxuan, Wu Xin had considered this possibility but had never imagined that Hu Yuling would actually betray her.
"Sorry, I now only take orders from my master."
Ensuring the death of Wu Xin, Hu Yuling stirred the Thunderclap Sword in the wound. Little Gold also knew the time had come; golden thunderbolt brilliance bloomed, exploding instantly within Wu Xin’s body, tearing apart her black robe as well.
For the first time, Wu Xin revealed her true form—a girl only about 1.2 meters tall.
Hu Yuling couldn’t help feeling disillusioned. No wonder she thought Wu Xin was somewhat foolish—it turned out to be just a little girl!
People tend to sympathize with young humans, but Hu Yuling is not human.
She knew that her strike hadn’t inflicted the maximum damage; who could have thought that beneath those large robes, instead of a tall and leggy beauty, was actually a little lolita.
Usually, she used an illusion, and her sword thrust at the place where the illusion appeared, missing the most vital heart.
Nevertheless, having been stabbed by the Thunderclap Sword, Wu Xin was not having an easy time.
"Fang Yu, what are you waiting for!"
As Hu Yuling was drawing her sword for another strike, she called out to Fang Yu. Fang Yu snapped back to reality, without the luxury of pondering the shocking betrayal. He sent his Cloud Rain Sword flying towards Wu Xin.
When it comes to beating someone when they’re down, of course, it still belongs to Dongfang Hongyue. Humans and demons cannot coexist, and although the Demon Clan had not yet threatened her, Dongfang Hongyue, they would threaten her eventually, like an extra mosquito in the room that must be killed on sight.
Her golden-red flames struck Wu Xin, and before Fang Yu’s sword arrived, Wu Xin withstood the blow. After all, she was also a Great Demon and not so easily killed. After being attacked by three strong fighters, she lacked the strength to counter and, with a heart full of vengeance, reminded herself of today’s enmity and used the Heart Demon Evasion.
Wu Xin was filled with resentment, and the Heart Demon Evasion she employed went straight to the nearest heart filled with the strongest resentment.
Watching the severely injured Wu Xin escape, Hu Yuling was anxious, but the gap between their realms was not easily bridged. Had it not been for an optimal chance to ambush, Wu Xin would not have been injured.
"I’ll go chase her!"
Dongfang Hongyue dashed off. While she seemed to be in pursuit of Wu Xin, she was, in fact, fleeing.
The situation was clearly not right!
The feeling that Yuxuan was the real boss, and even the Demon Clan Leader was calculated by him. The crack that had been struck was expanding, and the ominous aura made Dongfang Hongyue instinctively feel that fleeing was the wisest decision.
Anyway, running away was no problem. If she guessed wrong, she could always come back later.
Hu Yuling also came to her senses and followed Dongfang Hongyue to chase after the Demon Clan Leader.
Fang Yu glanced at the chaotic Yuqing Platform, then towards the direction Dongfang Hongyue was chasing, somewhat puzzled.
How do you know which direction to chase?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter, chasing is correct. If you don’t kill a snake completely, it will bite back. Wu Xin must be killed! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Fang Yu also didn’t forget to protect her precious disciple. She took Zhao Lingyu and chased after Dongfang Hongyue,
How could she know that Dongfang Hongyue never intended to catch Wu Xin? She basically just chose a direction at random. Hu Yuling thought the same. When she looked back and saw Fang Yu was also following, she was a bit surprised. When had Fang Yu become so clever?
Do people really grow?
Fang Yu: "..."
She really came to eliminate demons, yet she was lead astray by two tricksters.
On the other side, Wu Xin, who had used Heart Demon Evasion, felt completely weakened. The Heavenly Demon Tearing Hand she had used consumed too much of her strength, and the Thunderclap Sword had also inflicted serious harm. Dongfang Hongyue’s fire was particularly restraining to her, and as for Fang Yu’s Cloud Rain Sword, which could shatter even a Heavenly Demon Instrument, how could she endure it?
Who could have guessed she would be so unfortunate, enduring just three attacks? These three attacks, coming from different sources, perfectly countered her.
Could there be anything more unlucky than this?
Wu Xin thought there couldn’t be.
Despite her grave injuries, she began to laugh loudly.
"Hahaha, what good are all your calculations, Yuxuan? Coveting the Netherworld will only lead you down a path to death. And you, Hu Yuling, you’ve been undercover for so long only to reveal yourself in the end. Thinking you could kill me so easily? Once I recover, I will return wielding two Heavenly Demon Instrument kings, and I will repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!"
Wu Xin had been through many setbacks and was extremely strong and optimistic at heart.
If I don’t die this time, it will be you who die!
However, just as Wu Xin had finished laughing, she suddenly heard a pleasant voice from behind.
"Could you get off my horseback first?"
