Chapter 265 Killing That Demon Lord Somehow
The battlefield was tense as Wang Li faced off against the towering demon lord, his expression grim but determined. Each blow Wang Li launched was infused with the power of his Yin-Yang techniques, and he was executing them with a precision that pushed him to his limits. But even so, the demon lord's strength was overwhelming, his dark presence vibrating with raw malice and ancient power. Just as Wang Li prepared to launch another attack, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind.
Out of the dust and rubble stepped Xia Qingwu, her serene face laced with worry but steeled with determination. Following her were Song Jingyan, Xia Bingling, Wang Xiangyi, and Liu Xue, each one casting anxious glances at the demon lord as they gathered around Wang Li. Even Jiu Lan, whose usual confident demeanor was softened with concern, clutched her weapon with a fierce determination.
"Wang Li!" Xia Qingwu called out, her voice filled with both worry and conviction. "We came as soon as we sensed the disturbance. This demon… he's no ordinary opponent!"
Wang Li grinned despite his fatigue, casting a glance back at his gathered allies. "I'm glad you're here. This demon lord is tougher than I expected. His attacks are relentless, but with all of you here, we have a fighting chance." He steadied himself, feeling the weight of the battle begin to lift with their presence.
"Let us help," Song Jingyan said as she reached out, her hand brushing Wang Li's arm, a soft glow emitting from her touch as she poured her Yin energy into him.
Wang Li closed his eyes momentarily, feeling his energy surge and his fatigue lift. "Your support is exactly what I need," he murmured, before nodding in gratitude. "I'll keep the demon lord distracted, but stay close. Your presence enhances my power, and together, we'll drive this fiend back to where he came from!"
With his Yin-Yang cultivation ability activated, every touch from his allies rejuvenated him, restoring his spiritual energy, stabilizing his mind, and fueling his attacks with renewed vigor. As he felt their collective energies blend with his, Wang Li steeled himself, turning back to face the demon lord, whose fiery red eyes simmered with malice and growing irritation.
The demon lord snarled, a twisted grin curling at the edge of his blackened lips. "Mortals," he sneered. "All of you can only delay the inevitable. This plane will fall under my darkness."
But Wang Li, undeterred, smirked back at the demon lord. "Then let's test that theory. Heaven's Yin Strike!" He raised his hands, gathering Yin energy into a pulsating sphere of darkness before launching it toward the demon.
The demon lord countered instantly, his taloned hands swiping through the air as he unleashed his own attack. "Infernal Shadow Rift!" A dark chasm appeared midair, absorbing Wang Li's attack with a ferocious hiss. The chasm began to swell, pulsing with a fiery light before exploding toward Wang Li.
Wang Li braced for impact, but just as the wave of darkness reached him, Xia Bingling stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his shoulders in a fierce embrace. The touch of her Yin energy allowed Wang Li to counter the attack with a boosted ability. "Celestial Yang Pulse!" he roared, a burst of golden energy emanating from his core, blasting the shadow energy apart as it dissipated into a harmless wisp.
The demon lord narrowed his eyes, frustration beginning to seep through his usually calm demeanor. "Enough of this insolence!" he bellowed, his clawed fingers spreading wide as he gathered energy. "Abyssal Scourge!" Black flames erupted from his hands, swirling and twisting until they took the form of snarling demonic hounds that lunged toward Wang Li and his allies.
Undeterred, Wang Xiangyi stepped forward, her fierce gaze locked on the fiery beasts as she placed her hand on Wang Li's back, lending him her strength. Wang Li smirked and channeled the collective energy, raising his hand toward the hounds. "Yin-Yang Convergence Barrage!" Bolts of Yin and Yang energy shot forth in rapid succession, striking each hound with pinpoint precision and reducing them to dark wisps.
Despite the victory over the hounds, the demon lord only laughed. "You think such petty tricks can stop me?" With a furious roar, he summoned his next attack. "Hellfire Nova!" A wave of purple fire exploded from his body, radiating outward in every direction.
Wang Li gritted his teeth, barely managing to shield himself as the shockwave hit, but it wasn't enough. Just then, Liu Xue stepped close, her arms slipping around him as she rested her forehead against his. Her Yin energy flowed into him, boosting his defenses as his own aura flared up. Together, they deflected the attack, dispersing the flames before they could consume them.
The demon lord glared, anger now simmering openly in his expression. "You may have companions, but I am eternal. I have seen your world born and have the power to see it end!"
Yet Wang Li was undaunted. "And yet, here we are, standing in your way," he taunted, gathering Yin and Yang energy in each hand. "You're not as invincible as you think. Twilight Duality Crush!" Wang Li clapped his hands together, merging the Yin and Yang forces into a powerful surge that rocketed toward the demon lord.
The demon lord snarled, his hands flickering with a dark light as he invoked another counter. "Void Devouring Palm!" The two forces collided in midair, sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. While the demon lord managed to deflect most of the energy, a stray bolt struck his shoulder, eliciting a growl of pain.
Annoyed, the demon lord unleashed his fury. "Enough of these games!" he hissed, raising his hands toward the sky as he summoned a crackling orb of pure darkness. "Netherworld Calamity Sphere!" The orb grew larger, pulsing ominously with each passing second.
Seeing the impending danger, Wang Li moved swiftly to his allies, pulling them into his embrace one by one. He could feel his power surging as he absorbed their combined energies, invigorating his spirit and bolstering his resolve.
He stood tall, placing a reassuring hand on Xia Qingwu's shoulder, who looked at him with trust and admiration. "Let's finish this," he said softly, turning back toward the demon lord with renewed determination.
Gathering every ounce of energy from his Yin-Yang abilities, Wang Li prepared his ultimate attack. "Eternal Harmony Break!" he bellowed, channeling the entirety of his Yin and Yang energies into a single, explosive attack. His aura flared brilliantly, a blinding mix of light and darkness merging in perfect unity as he unleashed the full force of his power.
The demon lord, realizing the danger, responded with his own devastating counter. "Hellbound Cataclysm!" he shouted, his hands shaping the dark energy into a brutal wave that clashed with Wang Li's attack in a catastrophic explosion of light and shadow. The ground trembled, and the air vibrated with the intense energy, the power of their clash nearly tearing the very fabric of reality.
Yet even as the clash raged on, Wang Li's allies continued to lend him their strength, their trust unwavering as they touched him, allowing his Yin-Yang abilities to replenish and empower his attacks further. With their support, Wang Li's energy remained steady, his strikes growing sharper, his focus unwavering.
The demon lord's irritation grew to palpable rage as he realized Wang Li's resilience wasn't faltering. With every strike and every counter, it became clear that Wang Li and his allies were chipping away at his power. "You… mortal!" he roared, his voice echoing with an unnatural fury. "You have meddled with forces far beyond your understanding!"
But Wang Li only smirked, drawing strength from the presence of his lovers. "And yet," he said calmly, "you're the one who seems worried." He gathered his energy for one final blow, raising his hands high as a swirl of Yin and Yang energies formed around him. "Together, we'll banish you back to where you belong. Celestial Harmony Obliteration!"
The ultimate strike erupted from Wang Li, a wave of balanced Yin-Yang energy that engulfed the demon lord, tearing through his defenses and forcing him back. The demon lord's furious roars faded into nothingness as his form dissipated, the last vestiges of his dark aura vanishing into the ether.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As the dust settled, Wang Li turned to his allies, who gathered around him with relieved smiles. With a weary grin, he held them close, his heart filled with gratitude for their unwavering support. The battle had been brutal, but together, they had emerged victorious.
As Wang Li and his allies stood on the battlefield, they felt the tremors of a new threat rumbling in the air. The demon lord may have been defeated, but this victory was short-lived. A violent, piercing crack sounded from above, and Wang Li's gaze snapped to the sky, where a monstrous tear had split open, like a festering wound spilling darkness. Through this rift poured legions of demons, an unending tide that filled the heavens and cast a dark, seething shadow across the land.
