Chapter 143 The Demonic Artifact Appears, Shocking the Demons

The Lord of Demons?

!

Dai Yao's pupils contracted sharply. This name alone didn't sound like a kind person! She secretly raised her eyes to sized up this uninvited guest. Visually, this person did indeed have a noble appearance, but his eyes were like two cold knives, as if he wanted to devour her alive. This made Dai Yao feel uneasy all over, as if cold snakes were crawling on her body, and her sense of touch was full of horror.

Before Dai Yao could finish complaining, the Demon Lord spoke up. His voice was deep and hoarse, like a broken bellows being pulled, carrying an undeniable majesty: "Hand over the demonic artifact."

Dai Yao's inner monologue: Big brother, do you even have any manners?

"A magical artifact?" Dai Yao blinked innocently. "What magical artifact? What are you talking about? I don't know!" Her acting skills were worthy of an Oscar.

The Demon Lord was clearly not buying her act, and sneered, "Little girl, stop playing dumb. The demonic energy on your body is so dense; what else could it be but a demonic artifact?"

Just as Dai Yao was about to continue feigning ignorance, a powerful, demonic aura suddenly surged from afar, coming with overwhelming force. She heard a sound like a howling wind and inwardly cried out, "Holy crap, no way, there are others?!" Is this cultivation world a wholesale market? How come villains keep appearing one after another?

A shadowy figure flashed, and Elder Mogu and Lei Yan appeared before the crowd. Dai Yao saw the greed and ferocity in their eyes, their gazes like tangible hooks, firmly gripping the demonic artifact in her hand. Dai Yao felt like she had fallen into a wolf's den, on the verge of tears. She hadn't even had a chance to warm up the demonic artifact, how had she attracted so many powerful figures?

"Hmph, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." A cold voice rang out, and Yingyue appeared in front of everyone. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Dai Yao.

Dai Yao's heart sank. This is bad. Three Nascent Soul stage experts and one Divine Transformation stage expert. How can this be played?

Xiao Meng trembled with fear, hiding behind Dai Yao and clutching her clothes tightly. Dai Yao could feel Xiao Meng's body shaking slightly, the trembling transmitted to her through the hem of her clothes.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Dai Yao felt immense pressure squeezing in from all directions, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. This pressure felt so real to the touch.

Elder Mogu launched the first attack, summoning a powerful magical force that swept towards Dai Yao like a giant black wave.

Dai Yao saw the black waves that blotted out the sky and heard the roar of the waves coming.

"Oh no, Barbie Q is here!" Dai Yao thought to herself, but found that she couldn't dodge it at all.

At this critical moment...

At this critical moment, Dai Yao had an idea and urgently called for backup from outside the arena—"Hey, Grandpa Golden Finger, help! I'm waiting online, it's urgent!" Of course, no grandpa responded to her.

Dai Yao was on the verge of tears, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

At the critical moment, she remembered the instruction manual that the spirit of the magical artifact had arrogantly tossed to her earlier—although it only had two lines of text, it was better than nothing!

Dai Yao followed suit, silently reciting the incantation and infusing a wisp of spiritual power into the magical artifact.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic artifact hummed, the sound like an ancient bell being struck, and a strange black light appeared on its surface, forming a barrier in front of Dai Yao.

"Boom!" Elder Mogu's black wave slammed violently against the barrier, producing a deafening roar that made Dai Yao's ears ring, while simultaneously stirring up a cloud of dust. The dust appeared as a black curtain, enveloping the surroundings.

"That's it?" As the smoke cleared, Dai Yao stood unharmed behind the barrier. She patted her chest, looking like she'd been scared to death. In reality, she was secretly pleased: As expected of a demonic artifact, it's amazing!

Seeing Elder Mogu suffer a setback, Lei Yan naturally refused to be outdone. He roared, his voice like thunder exploding in her ears, and his whole body burst into flames, like a fire god. He thrust out his palms, and a huge fireball roared toward Dai Yao. The whooshing sound of the flames was exceptionally clear to Dai Yao's ears.

"Flame Demon Explosion! Taste the power of this venerable one!"

Dai Yao dared not delay and activated the magic weapon again.

The black barrier shone brightly, firmly blocking the fireball's attack.

"Boom!" Another explosion rang out, and the ground shook violently. Dai Yao felt the ground beneath her feet swaying like waves, as if a small earthquake had occurred, and her body swayed along with it.

Onlookers commented: "The special effects today were really good, worth the ticket price!"

Seeing that both of their frontal attacks were blocked, a sinister glint flashed in Yingyue's eyes.

He flashed and, like a ghost, circled around to Dai Yao's side. Dai Yao felt a cold wind blow from her side, and a sharp black sword aura condensed in his hand, piercing straight for Dai Yao's back.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; this demonic artifact will ultimately be mine!"

Dai Yao felt the chilling killing intent coming from behind her. Her small body trembled, and she reflexively leaned back in a "tactical manner".

That was close! I almost died here!

She turned around abruptly, but before she could even see who it was, the magical artifact in her hand seemed to sense her danger. With a hum, a dark, shadowy light shot out with a "whoosh," so fast that it left only a black afterimage in the visual field.

"Ah!" A muffled groan escaped her lips.

Yingyue never expected that this seemingly ordinary little girl would have such a "counter-attack" technique. He couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the chest by the dark light, staggering back several steps in a sorry state, his face instantly turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

The surrounding minor demonic cultivators stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that this little girl in the Qi Refining stage could actually hit Yingyue, who was in the Nascent Soul stage. Their eyes were filled with awe and fear as they looked at Dai Yao. Yingyue clutched his chest, his shock beyond words. He had thought this was an easy prey to catch, but he never expected to be outmaneuvered by a little girl. An unprecedented sense of defeat welled up in his heart.

"What the heck?!" Elder Mogu and Lei Yan were both dumbfounded. This plot development was truly beyond their comprehension.

They originally thought Dai Yao was just a newbie who had just obtained a magic weapon and could be easily manipulated, but they didn't expect her to be able to fight back, and she even hit Ying Yue, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, with her first move!

This move plunged the two powerful demonic cultivators into deep self-doubt: were we really here to be a joke? They were terrified and began to reassess Dai Yao's strength, realizing that this little girl might be much more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

Enraged, Elder Mogu let out a deafening roar, like a lion's howl, which made Dai Yao's ears ache: "You little brat, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup! Today I'll show you what this elder is all about!"

Before he finished speaking, he and Lei Yan attacked simultaneously, unleashing a storm of attacks on Dai Yao once again.

Not daring to be careless, Dai Yao quickly focused her mind and communicated with the spirit of the demonic artifact: "Little Demon, we need to step up our efforts! These two old guys are serious!" Dai Yao quickly calculated in her mind. She knew that although she was only at the Qi Refining stage, she had seen some strategies for dealing with powerful enemies in her family's ancient books. While communicating with the spirit of the demonic artifact, she observed the enemy's attack rhythm and looked for weaknesses.

The spirit of the demonic artifact gave a haughty snort, but also cooperated by releasing its powerful energy. At first, the spirit of the demonic artifact was only forced to obey Dai Yao's commands because she had been awakened by her, but when it saw Dai Yao facing a powerful enemy without flinching and cleverly using her power to fight back, it developed a sense of admiration for this little girl and its attitude became more positive.

In an instant, black barriers, ghostly flames, and piercing demonic sounds filled the air...

All sorts of strange and unusual moves came out one after another, leaving the surrounding demonic cultivators dazzled and dumbfounded.

Dai Yao and the spirit of the demonic artifact worked together more and more seamlessly, almost like they were playing a two-player game, taking turns attacking and defeating Elder Mogu and Lei Yan.

"This... how is this possible?!" Elder Mogu stared in disbelief at everything happening before him, feeling as if his worldview was about to collapse.

Just when Dai Yao thought she could temporarily withstand the attack, the spirit of the demonic artifact suddenly said, "Girl, I...I can't hold on much longer..."

Dai Yao was engrossed in playing a two-player game when she saw Elder Mogu and Lei Yan getting beaten black and blue, seeing stars. She felt a surge of satisfaction: Serves you right for bullying me!

What goes around comes around. Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be utterly humiliated!

Suddenly, the humming of the demonic weapon in his hand stopped, and the originally surging demonic energy deflated like a punctured balloon.

Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat: What's going on?

"Girl, I...I can't hold on much longer..." The spirit of the magical artifact's voice was as weak as a mosquito's hum, carrying a hint of undisguised exhaustion.

Dai Yao: ? ? ?

"No way? Bro, how long have you lasted? You're already out of energy? Your endurance is terrible!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain.

"You think this is a power bank, that you can charge it whenever you want? My power isn't limitless!" the spirit of the artifact retorted irritably. "Besides, for a newbie like you in the Qi Refining stage, being able to wield my power is already a huge blessing. What more do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yao immediately felt mocked, but now was not the time to argue. She anxiously asked, "What do we do now? These two old guys haven't been defeated yet!"

The spirit of the magical artifact remained silent for a moment, then said softly, "I have no choice but to... unleash my ultimate attack..."

Before Dai Yao could even ask what the "ultimate move" was, she felt a powerful force surge from the magical artifact, instantly enveloping her.

A flash of white light appeared before Dai Yao's eyes, and she felt as if she had boarded a rocket, soaring away in a flash! She could only hear the wind whistling in her ears, as if countless knives were cutting her ears, and the scenery in front of her rushed past, leaving her with only a blurry blur of light and shadow.

"Hey hey hey! Wait! Where am I going?!" Dai Yao exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up! Don't bother me!" The spirit of the artifact's voice echoed in her mind, "I'm going to take you... somewhere..."

"Where?"

"A place you would never expect..." The voice of the magical artifact grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

Dai Yao: "..." What's all this secrecy about?

Meanwhile, Elder Mogu and Lei Yan, who were far behind, stared blankly in the direction where Dai Yao had disappeared.

"She...she...ran away?" Lei Yan scratched his head, feeling that his intelligence had been insulted.

Elder Mogu's face darkened, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Trying to run? Not so easy!" He stomped his foot, his figure transforming into a black shadow as he chased after the direction Dai Yao had disappeared in...
