Chapter 163: Demon Possession

"The aura of this... "

The black-clothed youth exclaimed in horror. Even though he was at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, facing the current state of Ye Xuan, he felt a sense of fear and unease.

The others were equally shocked as they looked at Ye Xuan, including Zhu Yanqing, Zong Yan, and Murong Xuan.

"This..." Zong Yan's mouth fell open, clearly the first time he had seen Ye Xuan in such a state.

At this moment, Ye Xuan slowly twisted his body and stood up, the black aura overflowing from his body becoming even denser, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

"To awaken me for a few Golden Core Realm ants!"

A sinister and terrifying voice emanated from Ye Xuan's mouth. Then, he raised his head, revealing a grimacing smile, which made the black-clothed youth and the others feel a chill in their hearts, prompting them to take out their magical instruments.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

It was obvious that there was an unknown presence hidden within Ye Xuan. The evilness of the voice just now sent shivers down the spines of a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Zhu Yanqing and the others seemed to be meeting Ye Xuan for the first time. The current Ye Xuan was completely different from his usual self, extremely sinister, as if he were a demon crawling out of hell.

Ye Xuan opened his hands, and black aura emanated from his palms, instantly condensing into two black knives. Then, with a sinister laugh, he suddenly disappeared from his original position.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

A black shadow flashed like a ghost, continuously appearing and disappearing. The Golden Core Realm cultivators had no time to react and were swiftly killed, their blood splattering as they fell one after another.

The remaining cultivators were filled with terror. Even the black-clothed youth was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Zhu Yanqing as a hostage.

"Don't come any closer! I am Mo Yu, a disciple of the Star Sect. If you kill me, the Star Sect will hunt you down, and even implicate your kingdom!" The black-clothed youth trembled as he spoke, genuinely frightened by Ye Xuan's eerie demeanor and speed.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Ye Xuan had already become someone else. He coldly sneered, "What is the Star Sect? During the war between the righteous and the demonic, your sects from the Southern Zhuo Empire were cowering behind the front lines, a bunch of cowards!"

The war between the righteous and the demonic?

Mo Yu and the others looked puzzled, as did Zong Yan and the others. They had never heard of it.

At the same time, in the woods a mile away, the Howling Sky Hound suddenly transmitted a message to Qin Jun, "There is a demonic aura ahead, and it is extremely evil!"

A demonic aura?

Qin Jun couldn't help but think of the young demonic cultivator he had encountered in the Qingtan City of the Qianyue Kingdom, and then he thought of Zhu Yanqing. He quickly said, "Not good! Let's catch up quickly!"

With that, he leaped into the air, and clouds instantly condensed under his feet. The Howling Sky Hound and Li Yuanba agilely jumped onto the clouds, and they swiftly flew forward.

"Damn it! I haven't gotten on yet!"

Qin Yun shouted in frustration, but Qin Jun paid no attention to him. He could only chase after them from behind.

In front of the beauty, what was he, this foolish younger brother?

On the other side, the rest of Mo Yu's companions were brutally killed by the demonized Ye Xuan, leaving the ground covered in blood, a horrifying sight.

"It's your turn next. It's been a long time since I've been active, thanks to you for forcing him to give up control of his body."

Ye Xuan sneered, his words sending shivers down Mo Yu and the others' spines. Could it be that there was really a demon inside Ye Xuan's body?

Zhu Yanqing furrowed her brows deeply, showing no fear, only a look of confusion on her face.

"You... don't come... closer..."

Mo Yu trembled all over, and Ye Xuan's speed left him with no fighting spirit. At this moment, he only wanted to escape for his life.

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Mo Yu, holding two black knives and directly cutting him in half at the waist. Blood splattered on Zhu Yanqing's red dress, and she felt Mo Yu instantly lose strength, his body falling forward due to inertia. When she turned around, she saw Mo Yu's face full of despair. Looking down, her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Thud!

Mo Yu's upper body fell to the ground, but he was not yet dead. His mouth wide open, his upper body kept convulsing, clearly in extreme pain, worse than death.

When a person is cut in half, they don't die immediately. Even ordinary people are like this, let alone a Golden Core Realm cultivator. The pain that followed would be unbearable, especially for Mo Yu, who was a delicate flower in a greenhouse, a genius of the Star Sect, and had never experienced such torture before.

In the past, he always had fellow disciples accompanying him on his travels. He had originally thought that this time, he would show off his prowess as a participant from his country in the Layan City, but he had unexpectedly encountered Ye Xuan.

The extreme pain contorted Mo Yu's face, and his screams were like that of a slaughtered pig, making Zhu Yanqing and the others feel nauseous.

"Senior Brother... what's wrong with you..."

Zong Yan asked cautiously. At this moment, the demonic aura surrounding Ye Xuan made them nervous and fearful, afraid that Ye Xuan would also kill them.

Ye Xuan grinned wickedly and said, "Senior Brother? Do you know how dark and ugly this guy is deep down in his heart?"

His words made Zong Yan fall silent. This statement undoubtedly proved that the current Ye Xuan had been possessed by a demon.

"He has never regarded you as his junior brother from the bottom of his heart, and even looks down on your lack of talent," Ye Xuan sneered, his pupils turning increasingly bloodshot, extremely sinister.

Then, he looked at Zhu Yanqing and continued, "As for you, he has long wanted to covet your body. Do you know why he has always been so attentive to you? It's because of your background. He accidentally heard about your origins, so he suggested bringing you along to participate in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, wanting to take advantage of you on the way, hehe!"

His words were malicious and unpleasant, but Zhu Yanqing remained calm, as if she hadn't heard them at all.

Zong Yan and Murong Xuan clenched their fists. They had never expected their admired Senior Brother to be such a despicable person.

Actually, everyone has a dark side, but good people can suppress it. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan's dark side was exposed by the evil spirit. Even though he didn't do anything, he had to bear the title of a villain.

It's pitiful!

"What do you want?" Zhu Yanqing asked softly, as if Ye Xuan posed no threat to her.

"What do I want?" Ye Xuan's eyes revealed a strong evil light, and he sneered coldly, "Of course, it's to help this kid do what he wants but dares not do!"

Zong Yan and Murong Xuan suddenly looked ashen-faced. How could they not sense the killing intent in Ye Xuan's tone?

Zhu Yanqing's face changed slightly. Sometimes, being too beautiful is also a mistake.

"Damn it! How dare you touch my woman! Yuan Ba! Smash him with your Golden Peng Divine Hammer!"

Just then, a furious shout came from the woods, followed by a fierce figure crashing through the trees. It was Li Yuanba!

Li Yuanba, wielding the Golden Peng Divine Hammer, excitedly charged towards Ye Xuan, followed by Qin Jun and the Howling Celestial Hound flying out of the woods on a cloud of mist.

"Hmph! I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly!" Ye Xuan snorted and turned to escape.

He had been in Ye Xuan's body for quite some time, and he was well aware of Li Yuanba's might. If it were his prime, he would dare to confront Li Yuanba head-on. But now, occupying Ye Xuan's weak body, if he stayed to fight, he would be the one to die!

Unfortunately, Li Yuanba had no intention of letting him go!
