I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1355: Chapter 524: Facing Wu Lie Directly! The Death of Jiang Wangye!

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then said with a playful tone: "To think you work for Wu Lie and yet are unaware of such things?"

Jiang Wangye’s brows furrowed even tighter, seeing this, He Zhou quickly interjected, "Mr. Jiang, now is not the time to discuss these matters. The urgent task is to complete the mission His Majesty entrusted!"

Jiang Wangye hesitated, "But..."

He Zhou said sternly, "Don’t forget where your cultivation comes from! Now is your best chance to prove your worth to His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wangye took a deep breath, his expression firmed, and he nodded, "Rest assured, Mr. He, I will serve diligently unto death!"

"This guy is clearly stalling for time, delaying further will only lead to more variables! Attack!" He Zhou shouted fiercely, Gang Qi erupted from around him, and he swooped down like a falcon.

"Hmph, ignorant of the times."

Ji Lianxing waved her hand, and a jade chain smashed down with a boom.

The two instantly clashed into a melee, with Gang Qi and Primordial Qi colliding, causing the entire courtyard to tremble violently.

Chen Mo was well aware of Ji Lianxing’s prowess; she was already a top-notch grandmaster, and through this period of "cultivation," her strength had improved further—no one below the Ultimate Venerable could withstand her.

This was also why he dared to let Ji Lianxing guard the Demon Suppression Department alone.

Chen Mo said to Jiang Wangye, "Considering you and the Empress are of the same clan, if you surrender, I can spare your life."

Jiang Wangye knew well that if he fell into this person’s hands, it would be a fate worse than death. In a deep voice, he said, "Chen Mo, do you really think you have me in your grasp? Today, we will finally settle this!"

Crack—

As soon as he finished speaking, a dissonant sound of bones dislocating came from within him, his body twisting into an irregular shape.

Red patterns snaked out from his collar, resembling both talismans and snake scales, quickly covering his entire face.

Seeing that familiar appearance, Chen Mo suddenly realized, "I was just wondering how you could breakthrough from Fourth Rank to Grandmaster in such a short time... It seems you followed Chu Heng’s old path?"

As Jiang Wangye’s body continued to mutate, dark red blood on the ground gathered, as if sucked like a dragon, entering his body through the orifices, his aura rising steadily.

Szzz—

Skeletal bones burst through flesh and clothing, continually proliferating, forming a pair of massive bone wings behind him, his hands turning into sharp claws, eyes transforming into red vertical pupils...

He looked like a grotesque amalgamation of various Demon Beasts, indeed fearsome and terrifying!

"This is the True Dragon Blood Contract, a power bestowed upon me by His Majesty," Jiang Wangye’s voice was hoarse and grating, "Chen Mo, today is the day of your demise!"

Chen Mo shook his head, disdainfully saying, "Bother to take a look in the mirror at your own state, please. How does any of this resemble a True Dragon? Speaking of which, if this thing can help you boost your power, then why hasn’t Chu Heng, as the Princely Heir, broken through to Grandmaster after all these years?"

"A curse others are desperate to rid themselves of, you treat like a treasure, how utterly laughable."

"A curse?"

Jiang Wangye was momentarily dazed, realizing something was amiss.

But when he tried to think further, a sharp pain as if a knife cut through his brain, preventing him from focusing, a voice seemed to constantly call out from within:

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Violent killing intent gradually overtook his consciousness, Jiang Wangye’s eyes turned blood-red, flapping bone wings, carrying a sinister wind, pouncing towards Chen Mo!

"Die!"

"Heh, overestimating your capabilities."

Chen Mo flicked his wrist, and the Dragon Marrow Sword fell into his palm.

Without any visible movement, the brilliant sword light sliced through the air, wholly severing the bone wings at their roots as if cutting through butter!

"Roar!"

Jiang Wangye seemed to feel no pain, continued charging, his hands sprouting massive skeletal blades, howling down with a swing.

However, before the bone blade touched Chen Mo’s body, it was halted by an invisible force field, its speed suddenly becoming torturously slow.

Step—

Chen Mo shifted his steps, avoiding the blades with ease, raising his hand to unleash another sword light.

Blood light erupted from Jiang Wangye’s body, sending him flying, nearly cleaved in two, only a sliver of flesh connecting him!

With Chen Mo’s current realm, he could keep the Purple Extreme Cave Heaven open around the clock, allowing him to clearly perceive every minor action of his opponent, and forcibly turn the tide, making him nearly invincible in close-quarter combat.

Jiang Wangye realized this too, standing in place, ceasing his pursuit.

Blood-red threads spread from the wound, sticking the severed body back together, the corners of his mouth split to an exaggerated degree, like a gaping abyss, red light gathering within.

Boosh—

The red light exploded, a water-barrel thick beam suddenly blasted out!

Wherever it passed, the void twisted, flowers, grasses, and rocks all corroded and disintegrated!

This was Jiang Wangye’s special move for Chen Mo, the red light was Evil Qi compressed to the extreme, no matter how strong the flesh was, it would corrode into a pool of blood upon contact!

Facing the crimson beam shooting towards him, Chen Mo stood quietly, showing no intention of dodging.

Jiang Wangye’s lips curved into a sinister smile, and the red light abruptly exploded mid-air, transforming into overwhelming sanguine waves, completely submerging his figure!

"Once every inch of space is sealed, no matter how fast you are, you can’t escape! Chen Mo, you will pay the price for your arrogance and underestimation!"

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Jiang Wangye was stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in his blood-red eyes.

He saw the blood ocean, almost drowning the entire courtyard, shrinking at a visible rate, vanishing into thin air, as if everything from before was just an illusion.
