Chapter 77: Losing Humanity, Losing **

Bai Yue’s eyes were red as she shouted at Mu Chenxi.

“Chenxi, no! Don’t!”

Mu Chenxi froze, her action of activating the Soulburn Return Essence halting as well.

The Fire Demon, who had been preparing to attack, also stopped, seeing Mu Chenxi suddenly pause.

It was stunned in place, its face full of suspicion as it halted its offensive.

Bai Yue hurriedly crawled off Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi had been holding on by sheer will; now, unable to support herself any longer, she collapsed straight to the ground.

Bai Yue immediately stood in front of her, facing the Fire Demon alone.

With Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation facing a Fire Demon at the Enlightenment Stage, she felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain.

But she was Mu Chenxi’s Master.

Even if she was no match, she wanted to stand up to protect her disciple.

How could she delay the Fire Demon?

Bai Yue’s mind raced.

Suddenly, she remembered the scene where she had bluffed the Fire Demon with nonsense before.

The next second, her body trembled.

She raised both hands high, her voice instantly drawing the Fire Demon’s attention.

“Everyone, look at me! I have an announcement!”

“I am Da Ha Ba!”

The Fire Demon was completely stunned.

It had no idea what Bai Yue was doing, baffled by her strange actions.

Seeing that this move worked, Bai Yue hurriedly pressed her advantage and continued.

“Do you know what Happy Planet is? Do you know what Black Hand is? Do you know what Size 45 Jade Feet are? Do you know what Aoligei is? Do you know what Bitter-Fated Mandarin Ducks are?”

“What gibberish are you spouting?”

The Fire Demon finally snapped out of it, sensing Bai Yue was bluffing.

It roared impatiently.

“Do you know what Water Drop is? A single Water Drop can wipe out a group of Enlightenment Stage powerhouses. Do you believe it?”

Bai Yue forced herself to appear calm, continuing to mystify the situation.

The Fire Demon was instantly bluffed, standing there in shock.

It had never imagined such a thing, leaving it at a loss.

“Do you know the Dark Forest Law?”

Bai Yue saw the Fire Demon was attracted by this content and quickly threw out another term, her tone serious.

“There are always higher heavens beyond the heavens. Don’t underestimate the darkness of human nature!”

“I’m telling you the truth!”

Bai Yue continued to shout loudly, intimidating the Fire Demon once more.

“To lose humanity is to lose much; to lose * is to lose everything! Do you understand?”

The Fire Demon’s entire body trembled, as if truly struck by these words.

It seemed to widen its eyes, muttering repeatedly.

“To lose humanity is to lose much; to lose * is to lose everything…..”

The Fire Demon was actually forcibly controlled, its aura weakening by several degrees.

Seeing this, Bai Yue was also astonished.

Could her random nonsense really have such an effect?

But the next second, she saw the Dao aura on the Fire Demon start to flow slowly.

Bai Yue’s eyes widened in shock!

??!!!

“No! This Fire Demon is entering enlightenment!?”

Her heart dropped.

“Did I say something wrong just now?”

Bai Yue only then realized she had caused a colossal mess.

She had actually triggered the Fire Demon’s enlightenment—wasn’t this just fattening up the BOSS?

An opponent already difficult to deal with, and now she’d put her teammates at risk—what should she do?

Suddenly, a red figure appeared before her, a sweet voice echoing by her ear like heavenly music.

“Master~”

“Yan Hua!”

Bai Yue cried out in surprise, immediately pointing at the Fire Demon still in enlightenment midair.

“Yan Hua, kill it quickly!”

Hearing Bai Yue’s words, Yan Hua didn’t hesitate.

She kicked off with both legs, shooting straight towards the Fire Demon in the air.

Clenching her fist, she brought it down with a sharp gust, smashing it hard into the Fire Demon.

Boom!

The Fire Demon was sent flying like a severed kite, crashing heavily to the ground.

But Yan Hua’s punch didn’t kill it.

The Fire Demon staggered out of the crater, coughing, its eyes blood-red.

Four eyes glared at Yan Hua as if facing a mortal enemy.

“You damn brat! How dare you interrupt my enlightenment!”

The Fire Demon roared in fury.

Having its enlightenment interrupted was even more unbearable than death.

It was completely enraged and charged at Yan Hua with murderous intent.

But at this moment, Yan Hua, who hadn’t yet been through the agony of Bai Yue’s death, was much weaker than before.

This was something Bai Yue, Mu Chenxi, and Su Qiuyue had previously overlooked.

Yan Hua, without Heihua, simply couldn’t kill the Fire Demon with one punch.

Soon, the enraged Fire Demon, wreathed in demonic flames, charged at Yan Hua, and the two instantly became locked in fierce combat.

The Fire Demon’s four claws slashed wildly, tearing countless wounds across Yan Hua’s body in an instant.

Yan Hua staggered and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Yue’s heart sank.

She hadn’t expected Yan Hua to fall into a disadvantage so quickly, suffering such heavy injuries.

But in the next moment, the wounds on Yan Hua’s body began to wriggle, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She slowly rose again, her gaze unwavering.

“Master said to kill you.”

“You think you can kill me? You’re nothing but an ant among humans!”

The Fire Demon raged on, not stopping its attacks.

It even tore off both of Yan Hua’s arms.

Yet Yan Hua acted as if nothing had happened.

Her shoulders trembled lightly, and two new arms grew out again.

Even stranger, the two arms that had fallen to the ground floated up eerily, punching toward the Fire Demon.

“What the hell is this? You monster!”

The Fire Demon roared, swatting away the bizarre arms as it continued its assault on Yan Hua, determined to tear her apart.

At this moment, Yan Hua was truly enraged.

Being called a monster in front of her Master—how could she endure that?

Her eyes instantly filled with blood, her body writhing uncontrollably.

From the wounds where her arms had been severed, two more arms grew, and in the blink of an eye, she had three pairs of arms.

Even more bizarre, new arms began to sprout all over her body.

Before long, Yan Hua’s entire form was covered in densely packed arms, engulfing her completely.

On these arms, blood-red eyes blinked, adding to the eerie scene.

The arms linked together, whipping toward the Fire Demon like a lash.

“What on earth is this thing?”

The Fire Demon was utterly terrified.

It had never imagined that a human could be this monstrous.

It defied all reason and its understanding of the Dao.

The sheer force and speed, the regenerative ability, and the endless arms made even the Fire Demon feel overwhelmed.

Facing such a terrifying Yan Hua, the Fire Demon found itself at a loss, resorting to soul secret arts in succession.

Yet those secret arts, when landing on Yan Hua, vanished like stones into the sea—completely ineffective.

Yan Hua seemed innately resistant to soul attacks, like an unyielding rock, unmoved no matter how many secret arts struck her.

It was as if a breeze blew over a boulder, unable to stir even a ripple.

From there, it became a one-sided onslaught by Yan Hua.

Her countless extending arms lashed the Fire Demon like whips, tearing its flesh and leaving it bloodied.

The Fire Demon rolled and howled on the ground, battered back and forth like a stray dog, its pitiful screams echoing in the air.

In the end, under the relentless assault, the Fire Demon was left barely alive.

“It’s all your fault! You made me show such a shameful appearance before Master!”

The blood-red glow in Yan Hua’s eyes deepened, her blows growing even more ferocious.

She whipped the Fire Demon’s flesh and bones until they shattered to pieces.
