Chapter 15 Afterimage

in the room.

Before losing its life force, the One-Star Demon watched helplessly as its own heart was sacrificed.

A demonic figure rose from the ground.

His eyes were arrogant and terrifying, seemingly able to see through everything, yet also looking down on everything.

The One-Star Demon's throat bobbed, leaving behind its dying words: "Haha~ Haha~ The departed demon god has been summoned, haha~ You will die too..."

Qi Fang had actually realized what was going on deep down.

He had been frantically searching for a way to create a third inner demon.

Finally, I saw "The Hundred Hearts Knot Demon" at my master's place.

If this is true, why didn't the master train him? Why didn't he break through to the fourth-level demon himself? Instead, he fell to the second-level demon due to old age, physical weakness, and the recurrence of old injuries.

He must have figured something out.

Yes, this incantation keeps mentioning martial arts, the Southern Dipper, and even terms like the Six Directions and Eight Desolations.

It was only because the six directions and eight wastelands were separated that he did not notice.

Qi Fang understood at this point.

It wasn't that I didn't notice, but rather that my desire for power blinded me.

I can't believe I didn't notice such an obvious flaw.

Why would I choose to live on the Demon Temple platform, which is completely uninhabited? Could it be that I've been influenced and confused?

With the answer right in front of him, Qi Fang felt a sense of despair.

Have we been wasting our time all these years?

How could this happen?!

Qi Fang refuses!

The next moment, Qi Fang looked resolutely at the demonic shadow: "You are a demon within me. You will come with me and help me dominate all realms!"

The shadowy figure replied indifferently, "Okay."

Does this inner demon possess a complete consciousness? Its quality is too high!

Qi Fang was overjoyed when he saw that his inner demon had agreed to follow him, all his doubts were dispelled.

Shadow: "But there are two people at the Firelink Shrine, so I can only go with one."

"Two people?" Qi Fang stared at the two corpses on the ground. "There weren't two people, there was only me!"

Suddenly he remembered that the One-Star Demon had said before he died that there was an overwhelming killing intent, so he used all his strength to sense it.

Sure enough, an extremely powerful killing intent was getting closer and closer!

His five senses were obscured by the bloodstains, and he didn't even notice it.

The shadowy figure remained indifferent: "I can only be with one person."

Qi Fang: "It was I who initiated the sacrificial ritual and summoned you! It was me!"

"You can only be with me!"

The shadowy figure repeated, "I can only be with one person."

"I'll side with whoever is stronger."

Qi Fang grabbed the Heart-Slicing Knife, turned, and walked out: "Then I'll kill him!"

The demonic figure curled its lips and silently spoke: "Whichever body is stronger, I will possess."

"The battle for possession does not depend on cultivation level or the strength of the soul, but only on who has the firmest will."

"If I still can't win against two opponents, one of you will die, and the remaining one will have the honor of becoming my physical body."

Can even the strongest willpower outlast two people?

The strongest will can only hold out for three to five days without sleep, while two people taking turns sleeping can last forever.

Therefore, during the possession, whoever loses their way first will die.

Once a body-snatching attack is launched, there can only be one opponent.

Normally, even if the Demon Shadow was just a remnant soul, killing Qi Fang and Fang Nian would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But after countless years of wear and tear, under the suppression of the Witch Demon Palace, his soul had long since weakened to the point of being like a wisp of candlelight, no different from an ordinary two-star demon.

Therefore, he wanted to instigate Qi Fang to kill Fang Nian.

Then, using the last bit of demonic energy, he initiated the possession.

At this moment, Qi Fang, holding the Heart-Slicing Knife, stood before Fang Nian: "Fang Nian, it was you!"

Fang Nian looked into Qi Fang's murderous eyes and said, "I thought they were wrong, but it seems they were right."

"You really want to help Baihua kill me."

Qi Fang raised a finger and shook it: "No, no, no, it's not for Baihua, it's for myself."

"You must die, and your daughter must die too!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Nian lost her temper.

He pointed his sword at Qi Fang: "Then die!"

In the sky, atop the cliff, several powerful members of the Demonic Sect watched from afar as Qi Fang and Fang Nian confronted each other.

If they were any closer, they would have seen through the flaws in the summoning array and witnessed the resurrected demon god.

Unfortunately, they chose to observe from afar in secret.

Qi Fang slashed the heart-splitting knife in his hand left and right, creating a cross-shaped spatial rift in the air.

From within the crack, two stars rose up.

The stars shone brightly, and beneath their light, the demon appeared.

A humanoid demon lay prostrate on the ground—a ghoul.

A humanoid demon with a hunched back and sharp fingernails on all ten fingers—the Heart Eater.

The ghoul was as fat as a toad.

The Heart Eater was as thin as a skeleton.

Qi Fang grinned maliciously: "Do you know who I am? Do you know what my demonic possession is?"

"My demon is a heart-eating demon, it feeds on hearts!"

"To summon my inner demon, I killed hundreds of people over several years, but I didn't eat a single heart; I used them all as sacrifices!"

As he spoke, Qi Fang approached, licking his lips, "I've been starving for ages."

"Today, I will kill you, devour your heart... no, I will savor it, savor it thoroughly!!!"

This disgusted Fang Nian.

At first, when I saw him cut through the air, I thought he was going to do something cool.

Unexpectedly, it summoned a toad and a dead skull.

At this moment, Fang Nian, whose mind was in a daze, suddenly paused: "Huh? Why did I mention summoning? What cultivation? It's all fake."

Thinking of this, Fang Nian raised her sword: "Your brains have been polluted by all of you devils."

"Since you want to kill me, then I have no choice but to kill you."

The next moment, Fang Nian took a step forward, covering a distance of four or five meters in one step, holding the sword with both hands, and slashed down heavily.

Qi Fang casually raised a long, cleaver to parry.

"Ding~"

Qi Fang's entire hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder sank down in succession, then his expression changed, and he took a step back.

The slash failed to block the sword, which hesitated for a moment before falling again.

Fortunately, Qi Fang blocked the attack, giving him time to retreat; otherwise, he would have died from the first sword strike.

He couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? You've only just entered the second-star demon realm, and you haven't practiced any martial arts techniques. How can you be so strong?"

Although Qi Fang's cultivation level has not improved in the past few years, he has been honing his combat instincts, practicing martial arts, and developing secret techniques.

He must be many times stronger than when he first entered the second-star demon realm. Even ten of his former selves combined wouldn't be a match for him now.

Unexpectedly, he almost died on the spot in the very first moment of the fight!

Qi Fang unleashed a dazzling display of knife skills with his right hand, moving from front to back.

When the hand emerged from behind again, the Heart-Slicing Blade was gone, replaced by a battle sword.

Holding the knife in both hands, Qi Fang looked at Fang Nian and said, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You truly deserve to be called a genius."

"But being strong is useless. Your demonic energy is less than one-tenth of mine. Moreover, any secret technique can make demonic energy unleash ten times the combat power, and you have never practiced any secret techniques or martial arts."

He wasn't saying it to Fang Nian; he was saying it to himself.

He was calculating whether he could win against Fang Nian.

After doing this calculation, he felt he could easily defeat the combined forces of five Fang Nian.

One-on-one? Torture.

Wielding a battle sword, Qi Fang moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Fang Nian in an instant.

"Primordial Demonic Path!"

"cut!"

With a single slash, Qi Fang watched as Fang Nian was split in two.

The next moment, the shadow disappeared.

Afterimage?!

Qi Fang couldn't believe it when he heard it.

How could he be so fast?

Qi Fang turned around and found Fang Nian standing in the spot where he had just been standing.
