“Just how did Young Master Chen manage to do that?”
Qin Heng could hardly conceal his shock.
The Six-Armed True Demon was powerful not only in its physical body, but also in the curses refined into its form.
Facing that frigid curse, he had only thrown a single punch before his entire body was encased in frost, leaving him completely unable to move.
So why did that eerie curse have no effect whatsoever on Young Master Chen?
“Let me help you thaw out first.”
Just then, Chen Ning waved his hand, sending a wisp of flame merging into Qin Heng's body.
As the golden flame traveled through the meridians of his limbs, the frost locking Qin Heng's body rapidly dissolved.
In the blink of an eye, he had returned to normal.
“Thank you, Young Master Chen!”
Qin Heng widened his eyes in disbelief as realization finally dawned on him.
It wasn't that the curse had failed to take effect—it was that the extreme cold within the curse was nowhere near enough to freeze the scorching, surging blood and qi within Chen Ning!
“You bastard, how dare you!”
The Six-Armed True Demon had fallen into a complete fury.
Having taken that heavy punch head-on, it now looked battered and disheveled.
Not only was dark blood smeared across the corners of its mouth, but an unknown number of its ribs were broken.
Ever since it refined this True Demon body, no one had ever pushed it into such a dire corner.
“Even if I suffer complete backlash today, I'm dragging you down to hell with me!”
The Six-Armed True Demon suddenly opened its mouth wide, and the curses on its arms squirmed like insects before being sucked into its maw.
As the Six-Armed True Demon swallowed every last curse, it was as if an ancient seal had been unlocked deep within it; its aura underwent a sudden, drastic change.
Not only was its massive body clad in thick frost armor, but a dark blue demon horn spiraled with black pattern marks erupted from the center of its head.
“It has completely demonized!”
Murong Yu's expression couldn't help but grow heavy.
When Demon Cultivators refined demonic bodies, there was already a huge risk of suffering backlash.
By devouring the spell curses that restricted its body, the Six-Armed True Demon was fully unleashing its demonic bloodline, transforming itself entirely into a monster!
“What a wonderful feeling!”
The Six-Armed True Demon stretched its body with relish, its eyes turned completely pitch-black. Aside from a bloodthirsty desire, not a single trace of sanity remained.
“Bug, let me show you my true power!”
The Six-Armed True Demon charged violently toward Chen Ning.
The moment it drew close, a sinister sneer curled around its mouth.
“Frigid Ice Domain!”
In an instant, within a ten-meter radius centered around the Six-Armed True Demon, space itself seemed to freeze solid!
All creation froze!
Within this frigid domain, the senses and movements of all living creatures ground to a near standstill under the extreme cold.
Only the Six-Armed True Demon, whose body was refined from the demons of the frigid lands, could maintain its original speed.
This was a domain unique to it, the realm where it reigned invincible!
Confucian techniques? Daoist spells?
In front of it, everyone was no different from stationary targets!
“Die for me!”
The Six-Armed True Demon raised its massive fist and slammed it down with glee.
Bang!
Yet after taking that punch, Chen Ning's body didn't budge in the slightest; only a faint golden merit light flickered across his skin.
'How is this possible? Is this human's body made of iron?!'
The Six-Armed True Demon paled with shock.
It had already noticed the pitch-black Noble Scholar's Sword slowly materializing in Chen Ning's hand.
However, within the domain, Chen Ning's movements were excruciatingly slow—he had barely touched the hilt of his sword.
'No matter, there's still time!'
The Six-Armed True Demon paid it no mind.
There was still plenty of time before the Frigid Ice Domain expired. It refused to believe that while this human could endure a single punch, he could withstand hundreds or thousands of them!
“Six Fist Imprints: Heavenly Net Colossus!”
The Six-Armed True Demon's size ballooned abruptly as six fists enveloped in pitch-black demonic qi surged toward Chen Ning simultaneously to crush him.
Right at that moment—
Clang!
In the space that was supposed to be completely frozen solid, a sword hum suddenly echoed out.
Throughout the snow-draped expanse of the Frigid Ice Domain, countless blue lotuses drifted down from the sky.
Time seemed to freeze entirely in this instant, pinning even the Six-Armed True Demon's movements in midair.
In the next second, a sharp teal sword radiance abruptly shot straight into the sky.
Elegant, serene.
Yet so bone-chillingly fierce that it struck terror into the heart!
A domineering Sword Intent instantly shredded the entire space!
“Argh!”
The Six-Armed True Demon suddenly let out a miserable wail.
Its six arms, clad in heavy ice armor, were actually severed all at once!
Six arms dripping with black blood collapsed onto the ground, and even the Frigid Ice Domain was severed in a single stroke.
Time resumed its normal flow.
“How is this possible?!”
This time, the Six-Armed True Demon could no longer hide the terror on its face.
“Inside the Frigid Ice Domain, you didn't even draw your sword! Just how did you—”
Before it could finish speaking, the moment it caught sight of the lotus petals fluttering through the air, it finally understood.
This scholar had indeed been unable to draw his sword inside the domain. What accomplished all this was merely the invisible Sword Qi swirling around him!
'If mere Sword Qi is already this terrifying, just what kind of monster is this scholar?!'
“Didn't you say you were going to kill me just now? Why are you backing away?”
Seeing the Six-Armed True Demon cowering in horror, Chen Ning took a step forward with a smile, holding his sword.
“I will definitely kill you!
Though... that's sooner or later in the future!”
The Six-Armed True Demon forced out a defiant response before violently smashing its head into the ground.
It didn't want to die!
This human was a monster; keeping up this fight gave it zero chance of winning!
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! Don't look down on a True Demon in dire straits!
Just you wait!”
Rumble!
The Six-Armed True Demon blasted a hole right through the floor.
Beneath the floor lay a vast, rugged underground space.
This demonic lair extended in all directions—a place they used for butchering corpses, hiding, and making escapes.
No one knew this place better than it did.
If only it could escape down here!
“Worlds Apart in a Single Step.”
Just as the Six-Armed True Demon thought it saw a ray of hope for survival—
In the very next moment, Chen Ning appeared right in front of it without warning.
Its path of escape was completely cut off.
“This is... a Confucian technique?!
You bastard, are you a scholar or a Martial Artist?!”
The Six-Armed True Demon completely lost its mind.
If he were a Martial Artist, it definitely would have had a chance to escape. If he were a Confucian Cultivator, it probably would have knocked his head off long ago!
But this guy!
“Me?”
“I am naturally a scholar.
It's just that I was worried about being bullied, so I exercised my body a little bit.”
Chen Ning threw out a punch.
The Six-Armed True Demon flew sideways, slamming into the underground rock wall and bleeding from its Seven Orifices.
Before it could react, Chen Ning gripped its throat with one hand and seized the ice horn atop its head with the other.
“You monster!”
Amid a wretched scream, the Six-Armed True Demon's ice horn was ripped off by force.
Its head slumped to the side shortly after, turning into a cold corpse.
【Slew the Six-Armed True Demon, obtained Noble Qi * 800.】
【Obtained Divine Ability—Red Lotus Divine Pupils.】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Frigid Ice Horn.】
Checking the system description, Chen Ning soon let out a pleasantly surprised exclamation.
“This ice horn seems to be quite a fine treasure!”
