Demon Gate Player

Chapter 5: Decisive Battle

"I underestimated the Xu family!" Ning Dao Yu glanced at the floating cloud immortal abode in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Very well, I will use my newly cultivated Divine Ability to send Fellow Daoist on his way!"

After speaking, he took a step forward.

In the next moment, his aura suddenly surged, and violent red flames erupted from his body. Within a radius of ten li, everyone felt as if their skin was being roasted, causing unbearable pain.

In the blink of an eye, the red flames condensed into a three-zhang tall demonic image!

Ning Dao Yu stood in the middle of the demonic image, surrounded by the red flames, and looked coldly at Pang Yue.

At this moment, his aura continued to rise, far surpassing the strength that a Dao Foundation Triple should have.

On the distant horizon, several men and women stood with their hands behind their backs, gazing into the distance, focusing on Fallen Star Lake.

These people were all inner disciples of the Demon Talisman Sect, outstanding existences like the pride of heaven. They usually had a lot of interaction with Ning Dao Yu, and today they came together to watch the battle, but they didn't get too close.

"I didn't expect Ning Junior Brother to have already cultivated the Flame Demon Transformation."

A man in luxurious clothing said leisurely.

Another person said indifferently, "If I had a true inheritance senior brother, my cultivation progress wouldn't be slower than his."

"Haha, Qian Brother is jealous." The man in luxurious clothing laughed heartily. "Let's see how many moves this outer sect elder can withstand."

"In my opinion, within three moves, he will definitely be annihilated."

"It won't take three moves, two moves will be enough."

Several people made their comments one after another.

On Fallen Star Lake, Ning Dao Yu unleashed the Flame Demon Transformation and manipulated the demonic image, throwing a punch at Pang Yue.

It was still the Great Force Flame Demon Fist, but its power was five times stronger than before!

Pang Yue took a deep breath, and golden light radiated from his body. His figure instantly swelled, turning into a two-zhang tall muscular giant!

Eighteen Dragon Elephant True Talismans appeared on his body, crazily devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A spiritual energy vortex appeared around him!

In the blink of an eye, he threw a punch, colliding with the giant fist of the demonic image.

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded.

The violent shockwave stirred up towering waves and fierce winds, spreading in all directions. The cultivators surrounding Fallen Star Lake had to control their escape light and retreat, and many low-level cultivators were directly swept away by the violent aura.

The two figures in the field flew out in opposite directions as soon as they made contact.

They were evenly matched!

The difference was that Ning Dao Yu, who was flying backward, had a shocked expression on his face, while Pang Yue remained calm and composed.

Ning Dao Yu's body continuously emitted eighteen loud explosions, each accompanied by a heavy and fierce force exploding within his body!

After the eighteen explosions, there was not a single intact bone left in his body.

Even the demonic image outside his body was difficult to maintain and was slowly disintegrating.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the man in luxurious clothing appeared on a cloud in the distance, his face filled with astonishment.

"No good!"

He moved and turned into a blaze, flying towards Fallen Star Lake.

From afar, he saw Daoist Xu, who was flying backwards. Suddenly, his figure stopped and transformed into a crimson sword light, merging his body with the sword, and burst out.

The sword light instantly caught up with Ning Daoyu, who was still flying backwards, easily piercing through the Flame Demon God statue.

Ning Daoyu was about to summon his protective Law Weapon, but he saw the crimson sword light flickering like lightning, swiftly circling around his neck.

The man in the fancy clothes felt a chill in his heart!

Too late!

In the unbelieving gazes of thousands of cultivators, Ning Daoyu's head fell off.

And all of this happened in just a few breaths. The shockwaves from their previous fist fight had not even dissipated, yet Ning Daoyu had already been defeated.

Thud!

Thud!

Ning Daoyu's head and body fell into the lake, the sound of water was low, but it was so piercing.

The crimson sword light stopped, and a figure slowly emerged.

"Hmm... In this decisive battle, I, Xu, have luckily won with one move."

The indifferent words spread in all directions, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Daoyu, my nephew!"

In the sky, a streak of light fell into the lake, picking up Ning Daoyu's corpse.

As the streak of light dissipated, the beautiful woman Ning Shuang held Ning Daoyu's body, her phoenix eyes filled with anger as she stared at Pang Yue, radiating a strong killing intent.

Pang Yue smiled at this graceful and charming beauty, and the streak of light rose, flying back to the Dragon Spine Mountain Cave Mansion.

Ning Shuang stood still, staring fixedly at the streak of light from Pang Yue until it disappeared.

Floating Cloud Immortal Abode.

Xu Lijian and Xu Lihe exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Lijian, did you see clearly?"

Xu Lihe couldn't help but ask.

Xu Lijian smiled self-deprecatingly, "How could I be mistaken? The Dragon Elephant Suppressing Demon Fist and the Crimson Sky Sword Scripture... Liming really hid his true abilities well, we were all deceived!"

Xu Lihe was still savoring the battle just now, "I didn't expect him to cultivate the fist technique and sword technique to such a profound level. It was our lack of insight!"

Xu Lijian calmed his emotions and said seriously, "Now is not the time to discuss these matters. We should go and negotiate with the Ning family about the aftermath."

"Exactly!"

Xu Lihe sneered, "Everything about Ning Daoyu will belong to Liming, including his identity as an inner disciple. I didn't expect our Xu family to gain another inner disciple in this way."

...

"Sister Qin... Young Master... "

On top of the giant rock, Lian'er tugged at Qin Shuyi's sleeve, her face filled with fear.

Qin Shuyi held the jade flute in her hand, her face full of despair and unwillingness.

She couldn't imagine how the legendary waste-like outer sect elder of the Dao Foundation could be so powerful.

As Ning Daoyu's concubine, it is difficult to imagine how she will be dealt with after losing to Daoist Xu.

The planned future has now become uncertain.

"Lian'er, don't panic."

Qin Shuyi took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes flickering as she calculated a way out.

...

The man in luxurious clothing returned to the clouds with a grim expression.

He didn't have much interest in Ning Daoyu's battle this time. But when the true transmission from the Flame Demon Temple spoke... how could he not come?

But in this situation, how could he explain it to that person?

"If I'm not mistaken, this Elder Xu not only cultivated the Xu family's Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Fist Scripture to the eighteenth level, but also comprehended the realm of swordsmanship where body and sword are one. Ning Daoyu lost without resentment... it's just a pity!"

The person next to him sighed.

"This is called pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger..."

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's a trick played by the Xu family."

"That's enough!"

The man in luxurious clothing shouted, listening to the noise in his ears, his mood became restless, and he directly flew towards the inner gate with his escape light.

...

"Elder Xu... won!"

Behind Zhao Mengyuan, a beautiful woman with delicate features trembled as she spoke.

"Elder Xu won."

Zhao Mengyuan's beautiful eyes shimmered as she murmured.

...

Within a day, the news of the Xu family's victory in the battle spread throughout the Demon Talisman Sect.

Apart from those high-ranking Gold Core experts, the images of Pang Yue and Ning Daoyu's battle were almost transmigrated by all Dao Foundation cultivators.

The Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Fist displayed by Pang Yue during the battle also became a hot topic among the inner and outer disciples of the Demon Talisman Sect.

Although this fist technique was not of high grade and could only be cultivated to the Late Stage of the Dao Foundation, its true power might not be inferior to those Gold Core inheritances or Primordial Spirit inheritances within the Dao Foundation realm!

Pang Yue paid no attention to these discussions.

After Ning Daoyu fell, the life and death gu inside his body also died. The strange connection between the two life and death gu disappeared, and now Pang Yue could finally use his mana to extract the life and death gu from his own body.

Finally, he was free from the shackles!

Three days after the battle.

Elder Xu Lihes came to visit.

"Liming, this battle was a great victory. The entire family is inspired, and the Patriarch hopes you can go back and see him."

Xu Lihe smiled and said.

Pang Yue calmly refused, "I have been practicing a secret technique these past few days, and I'm afraid I can't spare the time. Brother Lihe, please convey my message to the Patriarch."

Xu Lihe's smile froze on his face, and he sighed lightly, "Alright then, Liming, I understand your intentions. I will go back and report to the Patriarch. In addition, Ning Daoyu's personal belongings are here, including his identity token as an inner disciple and the central jade talisman of his Cave Mansion prohibition..."

After a moment, the two finished their exchange, and Xu Lihe didn't linger any longer, leaving on his own.

Pang Yue picked up the storage bag and began to examine the gains from this battle.

There wasn't much in Ning Daoyu's storage bag, indicating that he was also a cultivator who had endured hardships.

Over 30,000 spirit stones.

Five Law Weapons, including two Supreme Grade Law Weapons and three High Grade Law Weapons.

5,000 kilograms of spirit rice.

In addition, there were several jade slips, identity tokens, talismans, pills, clothes, and some scattered precious materials.

The jade slips contained no cultivation techniques, mostly some secrets and geographical information from the cultivation world, of little value.

The most valuable item in the entire storage bag was the identity token of an inner disciple!

Ning Daoyu lost not only his wealth and life, but also his identity as an inner disciple to the Xu family!

From the attitude of the Demon Talisman Sect towards the transfer of identities, one could vaguely see the atmosphere of the demonic sect.

It would be difficult for the orthodox sects to achieve this.

With this identity, Pang Yue could cultivate the core technique of the Flame Demon Temple, the "Flame Demon True Talisman".

In the future, if he could become a true disciple, he could further cultivate the "Chaotic Profound Demon Talisman Secret Manual"...

Pang Yue had been contemplating his future path these past few days.

According to Daoist Xu's Low Grade spiritual root aptitude, reaching the fifth or sixth level of the Dao Foundation in cultivation would be his limit.

After all, the lifespan of a Dao Foundation cultivator was only three hundred years, and the efficiency of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too low for a Low Grade spiritual root.

For Pang Yue, there was only one solution.

That was to take pills!

The real cultivation world was different from online games.

In the game, killing monsters and gaining experience points would directly level up and improve skills.

But reality was cold and harsh.

Pang Yue had lived through one life and had the ambition to pursue the great Dao. How could he be content with being limited by his aptitude?

He took the storage bag and walked out of the Cave Mansion, his escape light soaring as he flew towards the inner gate.

...

The Demon Talisman Sect was one of the top cultivation sects in the Eastern Sea.

There were over twenty Gold Core cultivators in the sect, with a heritage spanning thousands of years. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, there was no other force that could rival it.

Vast and boundless, with endless blue waves.

A towering mountain rose from the sea, reaching over ten thousand feet high, like a pillar supporting the heavens.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered on this mountain, enveloped in divine light, and immortal trees and spiritual herbs flourished.

This mountain was the ancestral land of the Demon Talisman Sect, known as the Black Light Mountain.

Within a thousand miles of this mountain, the sea surface was dotted with tens of thousands of islands. The closer to the mountain, the denser the spiritual energy.

Today, a sword light flew across the sky and landed on an island a hundred miles away from Black Light Mountain.
