"Yo, what's all this fuss about? Are you trying to save someone? This is different from the legends."

"I... I guess I'm no longer just a legend."

"Oh! Well, the soul inside your sword is a thousand times stronger than her, for sure!"

Tony pulled an old soul from my sword. The souls in the sword haven't been devoured by others, so they are extremely powerful.

The demonic sword devoured the soul, and the small gem on the sword suddenly exploded, emitting a mournful cry.

"That must be the most compatible soul with the earth element!"

"Hey, Tony, the Whale King is the undisputed king of the sea! You didn't forget, did you?"

"I've never heard of the Whale King!"

"I'll make you remember..." Tony swung his sword and brushed it against Lady Gong's neck!

"You..."

"Hey, hey, have you really forgotten the motto of the demon clan, freedom! Not keeping your promises is my freedom!"

With a sword strike, I aimed straight for Tony's throat, with sparks flying from my katana and his sword.

Although the demonic blade blocked my sword, it couldn't stop me. I held the sword in my right hand, flames ignited in my left hand, and like lightning, I clenched Tony's head with claw-shaped hands, causing Flame of Punishment to explode.

Flame of Punishment contains the Four Divine Flames, which inflict great damage to both the mind and body. Those who withstand the explosive version of Flame of Punishment either end up in a bloody mess, in a state of madness, or completely destroyed. However... Tony was the fourth type, completely unscathed!

"Huh? Is this the ancestor of the Four Divine Flames? It doesn't seem as powerful as the Celestial Demon Fire." Beneath the flames, Tony wore a black samurai armor. Although the flames continued to burn, Tony paid no attention.

"What is this sorcery?"

"How would I know?" Tony patted the flames on his body, and the armor on his body made a rattling sound, with the helmet resembling the head of an orca.

I glanced at the masked woman standing silently on the snake's head.

"Shall we attack together? I'm running out of time." Lady Gong's soul was not absorbed by Tony, and before the envoy of the underworld could resurrect her, but still, there was nothing to worry about. Those timid envoys of the underworld wouldn't dare to approach this place easily. It had been a month and they still hadn't found the souls Tony had devoured. They were truly unreliable.

"I know what you're thinking." Tony turned his hand, with the blade of his katana aimed horizontally at Lady Gong's corpse.

My figure appeared in front of Tony, blocking his blade, but in an instant, the giant snake suddenly swept its head.

"This breath smells really bad." I endured the venomous fangs of the snake's head, as the venom ate away at my palm, while the stench of decay emanated from the snake's mouth.

Flame of Punishment ignited once again, and the flames erupted inside the snake's belly.

The masked girl abandoned the giant snake and leaped onto the half-ruined teaching building.

"Hmm?" Tony turned around and saw that Lady Gong's corpse was no longer there.

"You bald-headed fool, always chasing after our little Yang to your death!"

Lilith suddenly appeared, carrying the body and making a face at Tony, with all the girls who came with me to this timeline standing behind her.

"Lilith, run!"

Suddenly, a flaming Kirin burst out from behind Lilith.

"Hey!" Tony flew out, knocking me away five hundred meters.

"The Fist Demon King?"

"Uncle!"

Once again, the controlled demonic king and the great god appeared, and Lilith and the others had enough to deal with the Fire Kirin and Fist Demon King, not to mention Hisa and the masked woman...

"Focus, Demon Dragon!" Tony's punch struck my cheek heavily, and the sharp pain made it impossible for me to analyze the situation.

"I always thought that the magic barrier wasn't worth a damn," I complained while rubbing my throbbing cheek.

"In magical battles, as long as you don't touch anything, you won't get hurt. But you did touch me...consider my punch as a mercy," Tony said.

"Oh." I pointed my sword at Tony, and a large number of menacing souls swarmed towards him, as if a seal had been broken.

Tony's mouth twitched slightly. Even after the demonic sword gem shattered, it still absorbed souls, and it seemed to absorb them even faster now.

The evil spirits transformed into power, and I could clearly feel that Tony's magic power was stronger than the demon king's. If it were Coyalu, his chances of winning would be no more than fifty percent. What's important is that Tony had complete control of the demonic sword and his mind was very clear, without the madness he had two years ago. Did Tony's determination overcome the demonic sword, or was someone helping him?

"Who do you think is helping me?"

"Huh?"

"I can...hear your thoughts!"

"...."

"You want to know why? Because you're not as powerful as me, and neither is your giant sword! Only if your power surpasses mine... will I not be able to see through you."

"Stop talking nonsense and taste my power!" I ran my hand across the blade, leaving a handprint of blood. The crimson in my eyes commanded all the evil spirits, manipulating them to resist Tony's absorption.

"Teacher!"

Guffy rubbed his forehead lightly and said, "It's alright! Help evacuate everyone from the academy."

"Do...do we need to notify the Imperial Police and the military?" the class representative looked at the partially collapsed teaching building and asked.

"If you know the people up there, calling for every Magic Master of the empire, not a single one will survive. It doesn't matter who you look for," Guffy felt increasingly uncomfortable. It had been like this since early this morning, and just now, after intense exercise, he didn't want to control his temper.

"Teacher is in a bad mood, don't provoke him." The class monitor pulled the class representative away and quickly headed towards the other teaching areas.

"Wow, it's Teacher Qin, such a handsome sword!" Two figures surged out from the dust in their eyes, soaring into the sky. The red sword and the purple demonic sword, evil spirits swirling around them, every slash and strike quickened their pulses, making them feel suffocated, a scene they had never seen in their lives.

"I don't know where all these hidden people came from."

Suddenly, the sky turned crimson, and the evil spirits in the sky released a terrifying energy.

Guffy gritted his teeth and called back two students, "Come back, inform Duke Qin. Ask him to issue a disaster warning and evacuate the people from the capital!"

"Tea...teacher..."

"If the capital is leveled, and your families are still here, it will be your responsibility!"

"Yes...yes!" The students left in fear.

"The girl, why is she here...didn't they die already?" Guffy stared at the girl on the snake's head and felt very uneasy.

"Why do the evil spirits in the sky move like missiles, going straight without deviation?"

"Perra, have you seen this before? It must be something from tens of thousands of years ago."

"Vampire memories are passed down. Are we still standing here now?" Perra slowly drew her longsword from its sheath.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move!" Lilith squatted down and glanced at the Punch Demon King and Hisa from the corner of her eye.

Elena also looked at them. "I think their target is only Qin Yang. Perhaps we can avoid direct confrontation with them."

"Then let's go help Qin Yang!" Lilith wanted to leave this ruins, but the Demon King and Hisa made a move!

"Be careful!" Nana had just spoken when the Demon King's figure had already moved in front of Lilith.

"Now it's even more obvious, they don't want us to help Qin Yang!" Perra, being the queen, immediately took the lead and disappeared among countless bats with her fiery red eyes.

"Ugh, I hate bats!" Lilith said, shooing away the bats around her.

However, Perra appeared in front of the masked woman, launching an almost point-blank attack. It seemed like a sure hit, but it missed... because there was another god who intervened.

"Buzz!" A buzzing sound, and Perra's sword slashed against a solid wall!

"Ah~~~" Nofice, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly let out a loud scream, a miserable scream that sounded like a little girl who had her doll stolen, frightening everyone.

"The source of Angel's distress—a Execution Gate! Impossible, even if Second Uncle was controlled, the Judgment Gate wouldn't be controlled, why?" Elena was very familiar with the folding fan gate, as the Brandt clan was responsible for judging Angels in The Divine Realm, and Hisa Brandt as the god in charge of the final procedure of judgment—the conversion of Fallen Angels.

It wasn't hard to imagine that Nofice had entered through that gate before! Neither humans nor demons could imagine how it felt for an Angel to enter the gate, and Fallen Angels wouldn't say.
