The Nine Nether Green Demon let out a painful roar as its belly suddenly began to deform and swell, as if something alive was thrashing around inside, pushing against its skin. The entire belly protruded more and more, eventually taking on a pointed shape, as if a sharp object was desperately trying to push out from within.
The Great Demons stared in shock, forgetting to attack.
The Nine Nether Green Demon was clearly in unbearable pain, howling in agony. Suddenly, it raised its massive claw and struck its own belly. With a dull thud, the sharp object pressing against its belly was pushed back, but the Nine Nether Green Demon cried out in pain, a thick greenish liquid oozing from the corner of its mouth—its blood.
The creature inside immediately changed tactics; instead of pushing, it began to thrash wildly, as if performing acrobatics within the belly. The Nine Nether Green Demon showed an expression of suffering, its red eyes blinking in confusion and anger. It continued to roar madly, sitting down heavily on the ground and slapping its belly repeatedly. But how could it hit the creature inside?
At this moment, Du Yizi and the others exchanged glances, realizing something: "Could there really be a living person inside? Could Chuxiongzi have burrowed into its belly?! But how could he not be obliterated by that underworld power?!"
The enormous questions caused the Great Demons' expressions to change repeatedly. Jiang Xuanzi suddenly shouted, "Don't attack! I understand now; look at its left leg!"
The Great Demons turned their gaze to the Nine Nether Green Demon's left leg. When it was standing, they hadn't noticed anything unusual, but now that it was sitting on the ground, they could see clearly that its left leg, as thick as a room, hung limply down like a shed snake skin—there was not a trace of flesh or blood inside; it was completely hollow, just skin remaining!
"Everyone, act now! Use all your strength to hold onto its arms and prevent it from slapping its belly; Chuxiongzi will definitely break free from inside! That will be the end for this demon!" Du Yizi shouted.
With a swoosh, his long demon tail reached out skillfully into the bend of the Nine Nether Green Demon's left arm and quickly tied a knot. At the same time, his massive demon body darted swiftly to the left side, wrapping tightly around the Nine Nether Green Demon's left arm and pulling outward.
One foot, two feet, three feet—Du Yizi's four enormous claws sank deep into the ground as he continued to pull hard to the left, lifting the Nine Nether Green Demon's arm as if pulling up a river.
The entire body of the Nine Nether Green Demon nearly toppled over from this force but let out an angry roar and desperately sat upright while its remaining right hand continued to slap at its belly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuanzi and Sister Sheyu also realized what was happening. Sister Sheyu called out, "Jiang Xuanzi, help me!"
With swift movements, Sister Sheyu's nine Fox Spirit tails wrapped tightly around the Nine Nether Green Demon's right arm like long ropes. She then immediately ran to the right while Jiang Xuanzi transformed into a gigantic bird with black feathers, red claws, and a white beak—almost as large as a small mountain compared to Sister Sheyu. With a loud shout, Jiang Xuanzi pressed his original form against Sister Sheyu's back and pushed her step by step toward the right.
"Quickly help!" The Great Demons were quick-witted and rushed forward in droves. Each one remained in their humanoid form as they pushed, pulled, tugged, and prodded with all their might to force Sister Sheyu and Du Yizi in opposite directions.
With thousands of Great Demons working together, the Nine Nether Green Demon finally lost control over its two massive arms. It howled in despair as it was gradually pulled apart into a large letter "D" shape.
Inside, Chuxiongzi immediately stopped hiding, and the Nine Nether Green Demon’s bulging belly returned to a pointed shape, becoming sharper and sharper. The skin in that area was stretched thinner and thinner, and with a loud pop, countless purple-black filth shot out, as if ink was raining down from the sky, reeking terribly and accompanied by various writhing internal organ fragments. The belly of the Nine Nether Green Demon was ripped open from within.
Amidst the foul darkness, a brilliant golden light emerged, growing brighter and sawing up and down on the Nine Nether Green Demon’s belly. The Nine Nether Green Demon continued to wail in agony but was already disemboweled. All the filth inside flew out uncontrollably, its belly shrank more and more, and its cries turned into whimpers, no longer able to move.
With a swoosh, something flew out from the long gash in its belly, covered in purple-black filth, looking terrifying. That familiar bald head and tall figure belonged to Chuxiong!
The demons rejoiced. It was indeed him causing trouble inside the Nine Nether Green Demon!
Having entered the Nine Nether Green Demon’s belly without being eliminated by the troublesome Nether power, Chuxiong's cultivation immediately garnered the admiration of all the demons. If before they had followed his orders out of respect for Li Hong, now they were genuinely convinced. The demons spoke based on strength, and at this point, Chuxiong's reputation soared among them, second only to Li Hong.
Chuxiong wiped his face and shook off the messy filth with a hearty laugh: “Brothers, let’s put in some more effort and tear this creature apart!”
“Alright!” the demons replied in unison.
The Nine Nether Green Demon was nearly dead, slumped on the ground unable to even breathe. Only its two blood-red eyeballs continued to roll around in its massive eye sockets, displaying its terrifying vitality.
The demons shouted in unison, and with two thunderous crashes, the Nine Nether Green Demon’s arms were forcibly ripped off its body. The enormous wounds from the severed arms were as large as half a building, horrifyingly gushing forth green-black blood. The severed arms resembled octopus tentacles, still writhing on the ground.
Sister Sheyu and Du Yizi released their demon tails and transformed back into human form. They stomped hard on the wriggling arms and smiled at Chuxiong with cupped hands: “We have lived up to our mission!”
This battle had come to an end; without needing Du Yizi's orders, the Great Demons immediately began to clean up the battlefield.
What the demons cherished most were the elixirs refined by human cultivators. Although the Demon Sect did not practice alchemy, they had skills in crafting artifacts. With slight modifications, anything would be a treasure for them. The Great Demons immediately began scouring every inch of ground and even delved into the collapsed Underworld Palace to loot everything they could find without missing anything.
On the ground remained only a group of leaders from the Beast Cultivation Sect, all gathered around the Nine Nether Green Demon, marveling at its state.
The Nine Nether Green Demon now was almost just an empty skin connected to a large head. Its head had only a pair of blood-red demonic eyes that were still viciously turning but merely turning. Now that it was at its end, even though there was still ferocity in its eyes, it was akin to a dead fish ready for slaughter.
A Great Demon curiously leaned closer to the Nine Nether Green Demon’s head and exclaimed, "Master, come look! It's still alive!"
Du Yizi was still stepping on the giant arm beneath him, seemingly reluctant to let go. He said, "What's so surprising about this? The Nine Nether Green Demon has extremely tough skin and is protected by Eerie Dark Light. There are no weaknesses from top to bottom, and its vitality is incredibly strong, making it hard to kill. Fortunately, the Demon Sect's little demons didn't summon it completely; it’s missing a leg. If it were whole, even if we managed to take it down, our casualties would be significant. This time, we really hit the jackpot!"
"What do you mean by hitting the jackpot?" Chuxiong asked in confusion, pointing at the Nine Nether Green Demon's head. "It's not dead yet; let's finish it off completely!"
"Hehe, you just don't understand, do you? Jiang Xuanzi, lend me your White Qu Knife." Du Yizi reached out and took Jiang Xuanzi's personal demon knife from his hand, jumped onto the Nine Nether Green Demon's head, and stabbed into its eye socket.
The demon howled but could not resist at all as Du Yizi gouged out its two enormous eyes that were as big as barrels. Without pausing, Du Yizi continued to collect the Nine Nether Green Demon's tongue, ears, and steel spikes one by one.
Finally, he plunged the knife deep into the demon's head. Only then did the Nine Nether Green Demon truly perish.
Chuxiong watched in shock and laughed out loud, "What are you doing?"
"These are all precious treasures! Also, this left arm I pulled off is mine. Sister Sheyu, you can take the right arm. As for this empty skin—heh heh—Chuxiongzi, you should take it back; your brother will definitely know what to do with it. And this most precious and hardest skull will be our Beast Cultivation Sect's trophy!"
While speaking, Du Yizi kept moving his hands and feet, quickly disassembling the Nine Nether Green Demon and storing all parts into his Cosmic Bag. He even collected the giant head with two large holes into the Cosmic Bag before urging Chuxiong to take that massive empty skin.
Chuxiong waved his hands in shock and said, "I don't want it!"
"You said so yourself; don't go back on your word," Du Yizi chuckled.
Sister Sheyu added with a smile, "Chuxiongzi, you might not know this, but although the Nine Nether Green Demon is tough to deal with, it's full of treasures. Especially this skin—look how hard those scales are! It can at least be used to forge ten or eight sets of the best Treasure Armor for your human cultivators' protection! Quickly take it back and give it to your brother; he’ll definitely know what to do!"
Realizing this, Chuxiong finally understood and immediately collected it.
At that moment, a Great Demon approached with several women and pointed at them. "These were discovered on the ninth level of Underworld Palace. They claim they were forcibly taken by Underworld Palace and have suffered quite a bit. The last one seems to be a disciple of Qixia Palace."
Chuxiong's gaze met Hui Feng's once again.
Hui Feng returned to her usual self, speaking little and remaining silent as she looked at Chuxiong. A fleeting warmth passed through her cold, dark eyes on her pale face, but it was only for a moment. In the next instant, she transformed back into an icy figure, radiating coldness from head to toe, numb and seemingly devoid of life.
As Chuxiong looked at Hui Feng, memories of her former self flashed before him—proud, intelligent, pure as snow, like a fairy from the snowy mountains, radiating an incomparable brilliance that made one hesitant to look directly at her. But now, Hui Feng's beauty had diminished significantly; she appeared dull and lifeless, as if she had aged decades in an instant.
Chuxiong's heart ached sharply. After a moment of contemplation, he stepped in front of her and said directly, "Hui Feng, it's truly wonderful that you are alive. I am very happy, but I believe Yan Luo would be even happier."
Hui Feng's expression changed dramatically; she could hardly believe her ears and involuntarily exclaimed, "Junior Sister? Junior Sister is still alive?"
"Yes, all these years Yan Luo has been with us at Nine Li Sect. That year when Qixia Palace was attacked by the Demon Sect, my brother led a rescue mission but arrived too late; he only managed to save Yan Luo. You have suffered all these years," Chuxiong said, his gaze fixed on Hui Feng as anger surged within him. The next moment, however, he noticed Hui Feng defiantly raising her chin and looking at him provocatively. Chuxiong quickly averted his gaze.
Although it was just a glance, it was clearer than what he saw underground. The terrible scars on Hui Feng's snow-white skin had not faded; there were burn marks and even distinct bite marks. The tormentor had deliberately used drugs on her, leaving scars that penetrated deep into her flesh. The internal injuries were even more severe; her Golden Core had been damaged. All of this indicated that her life over the past few years had been worse than death.
Chuxiong had known Hui Feng since their time in the Ancient Celestial Field; they had spent some time alone together. No one understood her character better than he did. At this moment, she did not need pity.
Chuxiong took a clean robe from his Cosmic Bag and silently draped it over Hui Feng's shoulders, briefly saying, "Come with me."
Hui Feng silently gazed up at Chuxiong, who towered over her by a head. Unconsciously gripping the robe tightly with both hands, after a long while, she finally nodded gently.
