Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Demon Race! Duke Yuris!

Hearing Li Haotian’s words, Xilan and the others were taken aback, faces filled with astonishment.

“Stealing Demon Power? Is that even possible?”

“But how do you steal Demon Power? Once it’s inside your body, wouldn’t you be corrupted?”

Just as Xilan was about to ask more, Celia’s eyes changed, and she whispered, “We’re here, the Painful Village Liserfen!”

Everyone’s body shook as they hurriedly looked down.

Li Haotian worried about accidents and didn’t let the helicopter fly directly into Liserfen, instead stopping a short distance away.

The group disembarked from the helicopter, watching the silent village in the distance with caution.

The Elf Clan’s architectural style was exquisitely beautiful, even this rural village was laid out like a garden.

But now, the village was shrouded in a faint black-purple mist, appearing both eerie and ominous.

“Hehehe… Since you’re here, why not come in?” a deep and cold voice unexpectedly echoed from within the village.

Li Haotian and the others’ expressions slightly changed as they looked intently towards the source.

“Thud, thud, thud.”

With a series of heavy footsteps, a black figure slowly walked out of the village towards them.

Moments later, the figure reached the edge of the village, revealing its true form.

Xilan’s eyes sharpened, whispering, “Duke Yuris!”

Beside him, Agalu’s mouth gaped in shock as he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Yuris! How did he become like this!”

At this moment, Duke Yuris, who appeared before them, was transformed beyond recognition.

If it weren’t for his face remaining the same, Xilan and the others, who had seen his portrait from Krent, wouldn’t dare to believe that this being was once a Dark Elf!

Now, his body seemed caught between illusion and reality, with his lower half entirely missing, leaving only a mass of smoke behind.

The skin of his upper half displayed an eerie dark purple color, his muscles bulging, and even his pupils shared the same color.

The most striking feature was the two curved dark purple Demon Horns growing from Yuris’s head!

Li Haotian’s gaze changed, immediately recalling the female Demon Commander he had once fought against, and he spoke in a deep voice, “Be careful, his body has been so heavily eroded by Demon Power, it’s almost completely altered.”

“He’s practically become a member of the Demon Race now!”

“Is this… the Demon Race?” Aganzo murmured.

In the next moment, his gaze turned firm, reaching behind him to draw his massive sword: “Let me test him first!”

Li Haotian looked at him in surprise.

Aganzo spoke solemnly, “Brother, in terms of strength, I am naturally inferior to you.”

“Maybe I’m no match for Deregi, but Yuris is just a puppet controlled by him. If I don’t dare face him, then that would be unacceptable.”

After a brief consideration, Li Haotian nodded slightly, reminding, “After being transformed into a member of the Demon Race by Demon Power, he might have gained some special talents or abilities, so be cautious.”

Aganzo nodded lightly, “I understand.”

With that, Aganzo held his massive sword and slowly approached Yuris.

Yuris let out a sinister laugh, “Aganzo, Xilan, I didn’t expect you two would come here personally.”

“It seems Lord Deregi’s actions were somewhat excessive, drawing the attention of the Delos Empire.”

“But it doesn’t matter now. Even if the Delos Empire has realized something is wrong, it’s already too late, hahaha!”

Aganzo shouted in a heavy voice, “Yuris! As a Duke of the Dark Elf Kingdom, the lord of Noypela, you have allied with demons. Unforgivable!”

As he spoke, a heavy and fierce Sword Intent erupted from Aganzo’s body.

The blade of his massive sword, wide as a door, quietly lit up with seven points of light, forming a strange pattern, resembling a spoon.

As this pattern lit up, a distant and peculiar aura suddenly appeared from the sky, forming a unique link with Aganzo, causing his aura to soar significantly!

Li Haotian sensed a strange energy fluctuation merging into Aganzo’s body.

“Hmm? Is this…”

Xilan softly explained, “In his youth, Aganzo accidentally acquired a piece of Outer Heaven Meteorite Iron.”

“He forged it into a massive sword, the very one he wields now, the Meridian Seven Star Sword.”

“By harnessing the power contained within the Meridian Seven Star Sword and utilizing his self-invented Seven-Star Sword Technique, Aganzo can borrow the power of the stars from the sky to enhance himself, greatly boosting his attack power.”

“In terms of frontal assault power, even I am no match for him.”

“The Meridian Seven Star Sword? Interesting.” Li Haotian curiously watched Aganzo.

“Yuris, prepare to die!” Aganzo roared, as brilliant starlight emanated from his massive sword, enveloping him entirely.

Like a comet falling, he charged at Yuris with ferocious momentum!

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, faced with Aganzo’s formidable strike, Yuris simply sneered, showing no intention to dodge!

They saw him uttering some strange language, followed by a flash of red light above Yuris’s head.

The ghostly semi-ethereal form of Yuris also took on a faint red hue.

Soon after, Aganzo’s fierce attack arrived, his sword cleaving straight at Yuris’s head!

Over there, Bain, witnessing this scene, almost jumped up in excitement, shouting loudly, “Yuris is done for! How dare he be so arrogant and take the teacher’s Meteor Slash head-on, he’s doomed!”

“Boom!”

The next moment, a tremendous crash resounded from that direction, and a figure shot out like an arrow, flying backward!

Li Haotian’s pupils shrank.

It was Aganzo!

Xilan shouted in shock, “Impossible!”

With a muffled “thud,” Aganzo drove his massive sword into the ground.

With a “swoosh,” the earth was ripped open with a huge crack, extending all the way to Aganzo’s feet, finally bringing him to a halt.

Aganzo’s face changed drastically, and with a “spurt,” he spit out the blood clotted from the violent shock in his chest, before raising his head in astonishment.

“Yuris, you…”

Yuris laughed maniacally, “So this is the renowned Star Sword Saint of the Delos Empire? Just so-so!”

Li Haotian’s brow immediately furrowed.

Something was wrong!

Judging from the spiritual power fluctuations on Duke Yuris, his level should be at the Saint Peak, barely touching the threshold of the king level.

Even with the augmentation of Demon Power, which could significantly weaken Aganzo’s attack, he hadn’t reached the king level yet.

With Aganzo’s level suppression and his Full Power Strike, how could Yuris withstand Aganzo’s attack with his head and even rebound it, causing Aganzo to cough up blood?

This didn’t make sense at all; there was definitely something amiss!
