Two Demon Spirits in the Arm!!

Demonic energy surged to the heavens. Ye Feng's mind was completely blurred; he was not even aware of what he had done. Li Guanqi's face was grim to the extreme. His chest heaved slightly as a violent burst of divine sense erupted!! Channeling mental deterrence, he roared, "Wake up!!!" Boom!!! An invisible shockwave radiated out in an instant, surging from Li Guanqi straight toward Ye Feng's sea of consciousness. Yet right at that moment, Ye Feng's ghost hand seemed to sense the danger. The boundless demonic energy—resembling viscous black water—acted as if endowed with a mind of its own, surging forth in an undulating tide that enveloped Ye Feng's head entirely!!! Dong!!! The black water condensed from demonic qi burst apart in an instant, and the remaining aftershock of divine sense slammed into Ye Feng's sea of consciousness. Ye Feng's head snapped back at an exaggerated angle, his face instantly draining of color. At the same time, the blood-red light in his eyes receded slightly. Li Guanqi darted forward in a flash. Gu Li and Cao Yan were already primed to release their own mental deterrence. Li Guanqi swept in parallel to Ye Feng, mere three feet apart. A glimmer of clarity returned to Ye Feng's eyes as an unfamiliar flood of memories surged up. Ye Feng whipped his head around, looking at Xiao Chen's severed arm with profound heartache. Xiao Chen roared, "Second Brother!! Wake up!!!" Flanking him on the left and right, Cao Yan and Gu Li unleashed their boundless mental power, sweeping toward Ye Feng like towering waves!! Ye Feng gritted his teeth, a flicker of resolve flashing across his eyes before a ruthless glint appeared as he turned his gaze to his own arm. "Eldest Brother!! Chop it off!!" "I can't control it anymore!!" With those words, Ye Feng abruptly sealed his dantian and gripped his right wrist tightly with his left hand. Without a word of hesitation, Li Guanqi raised Red Lotus, cold gleams shimmering along its edge, and brought it slashing down at Ye Feng's right arm!! Shua!! Clang!!!! A wrist flew into the air, and blood-red light spread through Ye Feng's eyes once more!!! Li Guanqi was sent flying back dozens of zhang. The immense force tore the webbing between his thumb and forefinger, sending subtle tremors running through his entire arm. Ye Feng's left wrist was severed clean at the base, while the ghost hand on his right arm unleashed an unrivaled aura of might that pressed close to the late Body Integration Realm!!! With deep grief in his eyes, Ye Feng rasped coldly, "Eldest Brother!!! Kill me!!" "Even if I die, I won't let it seize control!!!!" Li Guanqi's gaze was fraught with complexity. He had no idea what was happening to Ye Feng right now. "Spirit Absolution!!!" Boom!!! Countless red threads burst forth in an instant!! The sword spirit did not manifest in physical form, but unleashed her potent power to assist Li Guanqi. In an instant, thousands of crimson threads swept toward Ye Feng like a driving downpour!! Mental deterrence descended abruptly, but this time, the Abyss Demon within the ghost hand was clearly on guard. Frenzied demonic energy blotted out the sky and sun, operating at a level of power that low-tier Abyss Demons could never hope to rival. Gu Li and Cao Yan's all-out burst of mental energy merely shattered the surrounding demonic energy. Weng!!!! Nu Sha erupted with a brilliant golden sword light. The swinging blade formed an airtight curtain of sword light before him! The crimson threads snapped and crumbled; the power of Spirit Absolution could not get within inches of Ye Feng. Not only that, Li Guanqi looked at the severed red threads in his hand, his eyes filled with shock! "The power of Spirit Absolution... was severed..." The sword spirit's solemn voice echoed in his mind. "No... the power in Ye Feng's ghost hand never fell into the domain of spirits to begin with!!" "The entity inside his arm must be an exceptionally high-ranking demon spirit!" "And there's more than one of them!!!" Li Guanqi knitted his brows and said in a chilling voice, "What do you mean by more than one?" The sword spirit's eyes narrowed as she explained rapidly: "The demon spirit that was subjected to Spirit Absolution and contracted to Ye Feng in the beginning was one entity, but the demon spirit eroding his divine soul now is another!!" "What a cunning sleight of hand!!" Li Guanqi's heart shook. So that was it... From the very beginning, there had been two demon spirits inside Ye Feng's arm!! Li Guanqi took a deep breath, a glint of ruthlessness entering his gaze. Turning his head, he transmitted his voice: "Move! We must eliminate Old Second's ghost hand!" Cao Yan and the others exchanged glances, complex emotions flashing in their eyes. Boom!!! Rampant demonic energy fell from the sky like a torrential downpour. Weng!!!!! At this moment, the power of all four heavenly flames converged toward Ye Feng!! Cao Yan and Xiao Chen's expressions shifted, and they blurted out in alarm, "Not good, we're losing control over our heavenly flames!!" Lightning flared beneath Li Guanqi's feet as he charged forward in a flash!! "Sever the connection!!" "Whatever you do, don't let that demon spirit take control of your flames!!" Cao Yan and Xiao Chen retreated thousands of zhang in an instant. Primal energy surging, they focused their minds and hurried to sever their connection to the heavenly flames. Ye Feng had learned the Flame Devouring Technique as well, and he was currently using that method to devour the power of their heavenly flames. Though he could not control the Five Yang Ghost Flame, the consequences would be catastrophic if he fully devoured the Purple Dragon Thunder Flame and the Great Sky Haze Flame! Dong!! Clang!!! Clad in the thunder armor of the spirit incantation, Li Guanqi clashed Red Lotus against Nu Sha, instantly unleashing immense power. Terrifying shockwaves rippled out between the two. Ye Feng stared at Li Guanqi with bloodshot eyes, an eerie smirk playing upon his lips!! Churning demonic energy draped across half of Ye Feng's face. His mouth twitched as a sinister hiss slowly escaped: "At last... the day I've waited for has come! Jie-jie!!" Li Guanqi clenched his right fist and drove it straight toward Ye Feng's face!! Dong!! Fist momentum surged as Ye Feng—whose left hand had already regenerated—shifted from a fist to a palm to catch the blow. Fist and sword locked together as wild power erupted between them. Sharp Geng Metal power and furious thunderbolts converged into two towering pillars of light, one purple and one gold, that soared into the heavens. Blood and qi surged within Li Guanqi's body, and a horrifying crimson sword light erupted in an instant!!! Dong!! Rumble!!! An explosion roared, and both Ye Feng and Li Guanqi were hurled backward at the same instant. Yet right at that moment, Meng Wanshu appeared behind Ye Feng. The Snow Shadow Sword in her hand traced a profound sword momentum as she struck!! Her gaze was piercingly cold, her eyes shimmering with an icy-blue glimmer as the surrounding temperature plummeted. Amid drifting snowflakes, azure frost sword light burst forth in rapid succession!! "Frost Absolute Domain!!" "Drifting Snow Dance!!" An icy-blue phantom appeared behind Meng Wanshu; the embryonic power of the Sword Heart Realm was not to be underestimated. Yet Ye Feng's aura of power was pressing close to the late Body Integration Realm at this moment—far stronger even than Li Guanqi's. The mottled bloodstains on Nu Sha gleamed with a scarlet luster as the grotesque half-demon face charged in for the kill!! Golden sword light mingled with the power of several heavenly flames, demonic energy churning within the radiance. The moment their blades crossed, the strike tore straight through Meng Wanshu's sword light and thrust directly toward her heart!! "Jie-jie-jie!! Die!!"
