The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 83 Yin-Yang Life-Punishing Sword Slash
Defender Duanmu was stunned when he saw the black-robed man slowly turning into a demon.
Demons and humans were mortal enemies long ago. Countless wars destroyed the world of Nuar due to their feud. That's why their ancestors agreed to live on two different continents. Demons lived in the Red Demon Continent while humans and alliances lived in the Profound Dragon Continent.
“Satan?!” Defender Duanmu muttered in shock as he held onto his aching chest. ‘What could be the reason for the appearance of demons in our Silver Wing Kingdom? Is this the beginning of another continent's strife among countless races?’ He was horrified by his own thoughts.
“Fear? It's too late for that. Since you've seen my true appearance, I won't let you two leave this place alive!” The demon general laughed eerily, causing his terrifying face to become even more unsightly.
Hestia remained undisturbed at the scene. Although she could not remember anything about her life before meeting Jiu Shen, she had a strange feeling that this was not her first time seeing a demon.
Hestia felt deja vu, but it was just a faint sensation that she could not understand. All he knew was that there was a deep sense of hatred and hatred hidden in his heart as he looked at the demon general.
Hestia's smiling expression froze and was replaced by an ice-cold gaze. He glanced at the demon general coldly and said as he pointed his sword towards him. “I won't waste my time with you.”
Hestia's true essence fluctuated strongly as she gathered all the power she could gather from her dantian.
The demon general's expression turned grim as he felt a true essence looming out from Hestia's slender figure. He did not believe that this power was emitted by someone at the mid stage of the 8th rank heavenly realm. “This woman! Is he really just a rank 8 middle-level heavenly realm cultivator?!” He muttered with the sound of grating and demons.
Hestia's silhouette disappeared from its place and reappeared behind the astonished demon general. He then raised his sword and struck the back of the demon general.
The latter felt a cold sensation behind him and hurriedly distanced himself, but it was too late to dodge the attack.
“Ciyaa!”
The defenseless back of the demon general split creating a deep diagonal wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist.
“Aarrghh!” The demon quickly channeled anma into his body to heal his gaping wounds. He then glanced at Hestia with a deadly look. “You fucking man! You are secretly attacking me! Arghh!”
The demon general ignored the painful sensation from his back and charged wildly towards Hestia. He raised his muscular arm and pointed his fist at the slender figure of Hestia.
Hestia had a cold gaze as she looked at the demon that lunged straight at her.
He gathered his true essence and created an invisible yin-yang diagram in the air using his sword. The diagram shone brightly after Hestia finished the final blow and slowly appeared in front of him.
“Liberations of Yin-Yang Life-Protection Sword!”
He shouted as he cut the diagram with his sword.
White and black light rays intertwined with each other. The two opposing elements slowly merged while moving at a speed that was almost as fast as the speed of sound.
The demon general put on a worried look as he sensed the power from the Hestia sword technique.
“This is impossible!” The demon general felt his adrenaline rise as he forcefully collected the anma within his body.
Although body enhancers were unable to control the strength of the elements, they were able to tap into the hidden potential of their physical bodies by awakening them with their anma. It's just that the amount of anma needed to maintain this shape is huge.
Black metal scales emerged from his body and his stature also grew twice as large. He was now nearly five meters tall and looked like a giant armored monster!
The demon general then protected his face with his thick arms as he covered his body with a large amount of anma.
“Baagg!”
Hestia's sword slash hit the demon general's body causing a deafening sound that created a shockwave.
Defender Duanmu weakly took out his true essence to protect his body from the explosion but he was still thrown several tens of meters away.
“Is this the true power of Young Miss Hestia? What kind of monsters are the people inside the store? Even if His Majesty was in his peak condition, he still could not survive such a sword technique.” Defender Duanmu who was now covered in dust muttered with a blank look.
Hestia waited for the dust to subside but she still held her sword carefully as she could feel the aura of the demon general was still there. “This devil is not an easy opponent.” He muttered silently to himself.
Just then, the huge shadow running towards Hestia caught him unprepared.
“Diieeee!!” The demon general shouted as he raised his bloodied right arm in an attempt to destroy Hestia.
Hestia raised her sword hastily to withstand the violent blows from the furious demon.
“Baanggg!” That demonic punch threw Hestia several hundred meters away.
“Boooom!” Hestia's body created a huge hole in a nearby mountain.
The trembling mountain caused countless stone rubble to fall.
The demon general grinned but his face suddenly furrowed in pain as he lay on the ground with all four legs while coughing up dark green blood.
“Coughs! Cough! Cough! A-What...What kind of sword technique is that? It actually caused severe damage to my internal organs. Goddamnit!” The demon general cursed as he slowly returned to his two-meter demonic form.
“I have to get out of here before anyone else from the store comes here!” He muttered while holding his chest while standing weakly. He then took out a jade necklace from his storage ring and placed it on his neck.
His demon body turned back into a human under Defender Duanmu's shocked gaze.
“Devil! I won't let you escape from here!” Defender Duanmu stood up unsteadily as he shouted in a hoarse voice.
The demon who was now in human form smiled widely disdainfully and replied in a mocking voice. “Old thing, you're lucky that an expert helped you. But there won't be a next time. For now, I'll let you live. Hahaha!”
His figure then disappeared and Defender Duanmu could only stare helplessly at where the demon had previously stood. “I must report this to Your Majesty as soon as possible. This news concerns the safety of our Silver Wing Kingdom. No... It involves the entire Profound Dragon Continent.” His murmur while walking towards the mountain where Hestia was thrown.
