"??? "
Wang Junze’s abrupt reaction instantly left everyone dumbfounded.
Even the Black Eagle, whose figure was pouncing at that mont, could not help but freeze abruptly, unable to decide whether to kill Wang Junze first or to snatch the Great Nether Mirror.
Who could have imagined that Wang Junze would so casually throw away such an Ancient Supre Treasure like the Great Nether Mirror?
Anyone else would probably prefer death over abandoning such a treasure.
But unexpectedly, Wang Junze did just that.
Of course, Wang Junze didn’t really discard the Great Nether Mirror; instead, at the mont he sensed the attack, he threw it to Luo Qingxuan.
In fact, this was Wang Junze’s real reason for calling Luo Qingxuan over earlier!
There wasn’t even a mont to think; Luo Qingxuan imdiately caught the Great Nether Mirror and, without a second’s hesitation, activated the Power of the Divine Soul upon grasping it!
Boom!
An eerie light suddenly shot out from the Great Nether Mirror, instantly enveloping the Black Eagle’s body.
At the sa ti, a terrifying Sword Intent also emanated from Wang Junze!
Within breaths, the True Qi within him suddenly erupted, transforming into a rain of swords, fiercely slashing at the Black Eagle.
Water Sword Intent!
Strangulation!
This ti, Wang Junze erupted with all his might, without holding back a single ounce of strength, concentrating it all into this one strike, seizing the mont while the Black Eagle was trapped by the Great Nether Mirror, and ruthlessly slashing down!
Each arc of Sword Qi stabbed fiercely into the Black Eagle’s feathers, causing countless black feathers to fall as the Sword Qi pierced through them, leaving nurous wounds.
Pfft!
The Profound Ice Sword also struck through the Black Eagle’s body, forming a layer of cold ice, freezing the Black Eagle completely!
"Chirp!"
Injured repeatedly, the Black Eagle let out a mournful cry, instantaneously severely wounded.
There was no alternative; after all, Wang Junze’s cultivation was still sowhat lower, and Luo Qingxuan wasn’t Qu Lishang. Although she barely managed to activate the Great Nether Mirror, she couldn’t truly sever the Forbidden Path; even though they unleashed full power, this strike still couldn’t directly kill the enemy.
But even so, it was already enough!
Huang Siyu, regaining her senses, appeared instantly in front of Wang Junze; her Path Domain released once more, and the terrifying poison gas imdiately infiltrated the Black Eagle’s body. In an instant, its entire being turned a shade of dark green, its physical form and Divine Soul rapidly being corroded, emitting a foul stench. It only lasted a few breaths before succumbing to the poison.
All of this happened too swiftly, only when the Black Eagle suddenly died did the others finally comprehend the situation.
Even though Wang Junze had exhausted his power once more, at that mont, he dared not act rashly again.
Because Luo Qingxuan had already landed beside Wang Junze, and the Great Nether Mirror was in her hand, emitting a faint, eerie glow, as if silently warning everyone around them.
Everyone knew that Wang Junze had not refined the Great Nether Mirror.
But they forgot that without refining it, Wang Junze could still activate the Great Nether Mirror, so of course, the more cultivated Luo Qingxuan could as well.
Yet in judging others by oneself, no one expected Wang Junze would give the Great Nether Mirror to Luo Qingxuan without hesitation!
Moreover, the matter of the Life and Death Contract was only known to Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan; others did not know that Luo Qingxuan, in order to save Wang Junze, was now significantly weakened.
Previously, there were four experts from the Demon Race equivalent to Path-Entering Powerhouses, but now, Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan joined forces to kill three!
Such a terrifying achievent, who wouldn’t be afraid?!
If Luo Qingxuan wielded the Great Nether Mirror once more, could this last Transford Great Demon withstand it?
"Kill! Great rewards for those who slay the Demon Race!"
Wang Junze, with a sowhat pale complexion, raised his head, but the expression between his brows revealed an even colder killing intent: "Those who are double-minded shall be treated as colluding with the Demon Race—with no parole for slaughter!"
Previously, if Wang Junze gave such an order, only the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect would have heeded him. Even those from the Four Seas Comrce Association might not have obeyed, but now he issued it with the prestige of a great victory, causing a chill to run down everyone’s hearts present.
Not only did those from the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Four Seas Comrce Association rally their spirits, but even the demon cultivators, who had been indecisive, joined the battle, furiously launching a counterattack against the Demon Race.
It succeeded!
Finally, Wang Junze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Only he knew his own situation, and Wang Junze understood clearly that if they continued fighting, Luo Qingxuan wouldn’t be able to hold out, and it was only by taking advantage of others’ ignorance that they were managing to hang on.
Teaming up with Luo Qingxuan in a display of formidable strength was a gamble, betting that after killing high-level opponents and with the aid of the Great Nether Mirror, Luo Qingxuan could intimidate the others and make these demon cultivators believe this battle could be won!
He had long told Luo Qingxuan that to win this battle, they had to rely on those demon cultivators, and now, by forcefully creating the appearance of sure victory with his own power, it was enough to deceive these demon cultivators, turning the tides in one go.
The following matters wouldn’t require Wang Junze to worry further.
The tides of battle had reversed; the Demon Race, which had been imposing just monts ago, quickly fell into disarray. This collapse was not limited to the battlefield of the Netherworld Mansion. Once the news spread, other demon cultivators in Netherworld City would certainly fight alongside them, the montum established, and this battle would no longer hold any suspense.
As her gaze fell on Wang Junze, a smile reappeared on Luo Qingxuan’s face.
Despite not having communicated this in advance, she and Wang Junze had completed a seamless cooperation, turning what seed a near-certain defeat into a victory.
"Impressive!"
Quietly observing Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan, even Yang Hong couldn’t help but sigh lightly, sincerely convinced.
There were so things Yang Hong could vaguely guess, allowing him to better understand how remarkable Wang Junze’s reversal of the battlefield truly was.
More than his own strength, it was Wang Junze’s strategies and decisiveness that impressed people.
And precisely because of this, although knowing Luo Qingxuan didn’t have much strength left right now, Yang Hong couldn’t entertain the thought of seizing the Great Nether Mirror anymore.
He couldn’t be sure if Wang Junze still had other cards up his sleeve. Instead of risking a backstab to seize the Great Nether Mirror, he preferred to accept Wang Junze’s arrangent to defend Netherworld City together and trusted that Wang Junze wouldn’t let him or the Maiden of the Sea suffer a loss.
"Thank you."
With a casual smile, Wang Junze slightly cupped his fists towards Yang Hong.
Returning the gesture, Yang Hong turned and, together with the Maiden of the Sea, flew out of the Netherworld Mansion to continue hunting down the Demon Race.
Watching Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea’s retreating figures, Luo Qingxuan, pondering over sothing, softly asked, "The injuries you sustained earlier, are they related to them?"
Wang Junze hadn’t ntioned it, but Luo Qingxuan had roughly guessed it from their reactions just now.
"It’s all in the past; didn’t I tell you before... they can be trusted."
With a gentle smile, Wang Junze replied softly.
