Boom—
Amidst the dust filling the sky, brilliant great stars were all smashed down.
Violent waves of Qi tore through the surrounding miasma, raging across the ruins of the collapsed cavern.
In truth, the two demons were not wrong in their assessment; even though Jiang Yuechu possessed the Celestial-grade Dao Chess and her central palace Foundation far exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, the "Six-Cycle Heavenly Flow" was, in the end, only claimed to be infinitely close to a Spiritual Method; it had never truly stepped into the category of a Spiritual Method.
Naturally, it could not bridge such a gap in Realm.
Moreover, the opponent was not some wild, scattered demon without a Foundation.
They were, after all, capable subordinates following the Second Young Master of the Southern Immortal Palace. Their Foundation, while not top-tier, could be considered quite impressive among the Eight Chess Pieces of Strategy.
However, Jiang Yuechu had never expected that a single move would be enough to completely suppress and kill them.
Along the way, although she had not exchanged many words with those Jieqing Disciples, she had overheard their conversations.
She knew that in the Chess Master Realm, one to three pieces constituted one tier, while four to seven pieces constituted another.
Above eight pieces was an entirely different scene.
Being able to span so many Realms and rely on the suppression of the Celestial-grade Dao Chess to face these Great Demons head-on was already quite impressive.
The Jackal Demon steadied himself, looked coldly at the young girl, and sneered, "Heh... I don't care what your Foundation is or what stands behind you..."
"In your next life, grow a brain and don't be so reckless as to meddle in affairs you shouldn't..."
Before he could finish speaking.
The Gray Wolf Demon frowned and interrupted, "That's enough... Why say so much?"
He had never been one to waste words on the dead.
Since the other party was so determined to intervene, there was no reason to let her leave alive.
Otherwise, who knew if word would leak out?
That small world inside the painting was extremely secretive, and the Second Young Master had only discovered it by pure luck.
If it reached the ears of the First Young Master, he would never just watch the Second Young Master monopolize such a massive stroke of fortune.
This was also why the Second Young Master had placed these people who broke through the Realm in such a desolate wilderness.
And why he had only sent the two of them to guard it in secret!
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked forward, filled with murderous intent.
The next instant.
A flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.
He saw that the space in front of him was already empty.
Even the massive figure of the Green-Water Golden-Eye had disappeared... Driven by instinct, he subconsciously looked behind him.
He saw a figure in snow-white robes, appearing before him like a ghost, though he didn't know when she had arrived.
The young girl's expression was cold, and crimson flames coiled and rolled around her body.
Beneath those flames, an icy white mist permeated the air.
Jiang Yuechu raised her hand indifferently and threw a punch.
Boom—
A dull, thunderous sound exploded between the human and the demon.
An extreme, icy coldness followed the force of the punch, erupting inside the Gray Wolf Demon without reservation.
Even his sturdy demon body, bolstered by the Foundation of the Eight Chess Pieces of Strategy, was forced to stumble backward uncontrollably by this punch.
"How bold!"
The Jackal Demon beside him reacted instantly, shouting in shock and anger as the spiritual light of the eight dao chess pieces inside him erupted.
Under this enhancement, gray mist surged onto his massive sharp claws.
The claws instantly grew several zhang long and smashed down viciously toward the white robe.
The terrifying power contained within was enough to instantly annihilate the Cultivator before him.
"Die for me!!!"
The Jackal Demon's angry roar shook the sky.
Sensing the claw wind attacking from the side, the young girl raised an eyebrow. Her robes billowed, thick black mist surged from her body, and massive black wings suddenly unfurled from her back.
Then, instead of retreating, she advanced, charging fiercely to meet the descending giant claws.
Boom—!!!
Even though Jiang Yuechu had the enhancement of the Great Black Heaven Body Forging Scripture at the supreme Realm, supplemented by two spirit grade and Celestial-grade Dao Chess pieces in her Qi Sea.
And a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact treasure robe to protect her body.
Under the full-force strike of such an Eight Chess Pieces of Strategy Great Demon... her body still trembled violently, and a flash of pain crossed her eyes.
Crimson blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, dripping down her fair chin.
This was a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
She had forgotten such overwhelming pressure that almost drove one to despair.
Now, the balance of Dao Cultivation on her system panel was only over three million years!
If it were an ordinary matter, she could avoid the edge for now, wait to develop further, and then consider provoking such an existence.
But since it concerned the world of the Great Tang... if possible, she did not want to retreat a single step.
Jiang Yuechu lowered her head slightly and glanced at the bloodstains on her white robe.
In her pitch-black eyes, there was not a hint of retreat.
Instead, they revealed a fervor she hadn't felt in a long time.
She reached out with her thumb and wiped the crimson from the corner of her mouth.
Her life force boiled wildly within her.
The heavier the injuries, the more violent her energy became.
The [Reverse Battle] that hadn't been activated for a long time finally announced its arrival to the world today.
She lifted her eyes and looked toward the two massive demon bodies in front of her.
"However... it's still not enough..."
Her wrist turned slightly, and the emerald-green long staff danced in her palm.
The crimson flames rolling around her body surged along her arm, pouring madly into the emerald staff.
Immediately after.
[Fire Dragon Incinerates Heart], activate.
Boom.
Jiang Yuechu's body trembled violently.
The vital blood inside her body instantly boiled.
Crimson blood spilled out from the pores of her skin.
In the blink of an eye, her snow-white robe was dyed a shocking blood-red.
But under this terrifying backlash that was almost self-destructive, the powerful recovery ability of [Eternal Immortality] was also running frantically.
As this self-mutilating secret technique was activated, the energy around Jiang Yuechu began to climb madly at a pace that defied common sense.
Three Chess Pieces.
Chess-Player Four-Piece.
Five Chess Pieces.
Violent waves of energy spread outward from her as the center, raging in all directions.
Until that energy climbed forcefully to the level of a six-piece Chess Player.
Jiang Yuechu let out a muffled groan, her body swaying slightly.
Feeling that the immense pressure her Physical Body could withstand had reached its limit.
She finally deactivated the Divine Ability [Fire Dragon Incinerates Heart].
"Hmm?"
Detecting the changes in the white-robed girl in front, a flash of surprise and suspicion crossed the Jackal Demon's eyes.
What was happening?
Could it be... she had activated some secret technique that burned vital blood?
But in this world, what kind of secret technique could so unreasonably allow someone to instantly cross four small Realms?!
However.
A flash of ferocity soon crossed the Jackal Demon's eyes.
Even if it were a secret technique, so what?
The false cultivation gained by consuming one's Foundation could not last long in such a life-and-death struggle.
On the other side.
The Gray Wolf Demon, who had just been blasted back by a punch, also climbed up from the ruins again.
He casually tore off the icy frost spreading across his body.
His massive demon body hunched slightly, his hands hanging down indifferently as he looked toward the blood-stained girl in front.
In his eyes, only murderous intent was spreading wildly.
"Kill!"
Roar—!!!
The two Great Demons of the Eight Chess Pieces of Strategy let out a synchronized, heaven-shaking roar.
Their massive demon bodies instantly vanished from where they stood.
Charging fiercely to kill the girl!
