Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Activating the Demonic Technique
Bang.
The door was suddenly kicked open.
This made Sotu, who was about to reach out to Su Xiaoyue with his evil claws, pause.
His gaze immediately turned to the door.
Standing tall, with a cold aura, long hair draped over his shoulders, and a grim expression, Leng Ying appeared at the door.
Sotu’s sharp eyes landed on Leng Ying’s face, and he asked coldly, “Who are you?”
“You filthy old man, who I am isn’t important, what’s important is that I love dealing with filthy old men like you,” Leng Ying said coldly.
Anger flashed in Sotu’s eyes as he said, “It seems you don’t know, getting involved will only cost you your life!”
“Old man, I’m here to take your pathetic life!” As soon as the words fell, Leng Ying had already attacked Sotu.
Sotu frowned, his eyes flashing, not dodging at all, he struck out with both palms equally.
The grandmaster’s aura erupted like a storm, raging through the bedroom in an instant.
Leng Ying and Sotu’s palms clashed violently together.
Bang.
The air trembled with the impact.
In this strike, both Leng Ying and Sotu widened their eyes.
The force of their powerful clash caused both to step back two steps.
However, neither of them stopped, on the contrary, after stepping back, they immediately launched another attack.
Bang.
Their four palms clashed again in a single strike.
Tightly pressed together, they were locked in a stalemate.
The violent airflow blew the doors and windows with loud bangs, a water cup fell to the ground, shattering with a crash.
As they exerted themselves in fierce opposition.
The two faces turned extremely red, as if their faces were balloons filled with air.
Suddenly, their palms separated, followed by another strike.
Bang.
The third palm.
Their third clash erupted with more power than the previous two.
This was the final blow to decide the victor.
The powerful airflow shattered several windowpanes in the bedroom instantly, dropping to the ground.
At the same time, both Leng Ying and Sotu were shaken by this horror power, each stumbling back seven or eight steps.
Leng Ying retreated outside the room, Sotu crashed through several chairs, retreating to the small balcony outside the bedroom.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corners of both their mouths.
Sotu could feel that this strike had triggered his old injuries, waves of pain spreading through his body.
He couldn’t believe that this Leng Ying’s strength was almost on par with his own.
Sotu looked unwillingly at Su Xiaoyue on the bed; a good situation had been unexpectedly ruined like this.
However, at this moment, Sotu couldn’t concern himself with Su Xiaoyue, but with new injuries added to old ones, if he continued to clash with Leng Ying, he might end up as the loser.
Therefore, prioritizing his life, Sotu immediately leaped down from the third-floor bedroom balcony.
As soon as Sotu landed on the ground, he immediately sensed a dangerous aura.
Then, Sotu saw a figure emerge from the darkness ahead, under the villa lights, he recognized that it was Lin Fei.
“Lin Fei!” Sotu frowned, exclaiming in shock.
In the underground palace, even with numerous traps, Lin Fei hadn’t died, and he had suffered many losses at Lin Fei’s hands.
Seeing Lin Fei at this moment sent a chill through Sotu’s heart.
If there was anyone he least wanted to see now, it was probably this Lin Fei.
Sotu suddenly understood that the Leng Ying who just fought him was surely one of Lin Fei’s men.
They had come prepared.
“Old Prince, are you going to make a move? Or will you surrender obediently and come with me to a military base?” Lin Fei smiled indifferently, looking at Sotu.
Sotu’s face changed, gazing at Lin Fei in disbelief.
“You… how did you know I’m the Old Prince?” Sotu’s eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Lin Fei, “How did you know?”
“Although you’re quite sly, never revealing your true face to outsiders and even finding a substitute,” Lin Fei looked at Sotu, his eyes bright and his voice clear and strong, “but you might have forgotten, during the encounter at the Sea of Death, when you ambushed me, I broke your sword and left a scar a few centimeters long on the back of your hand.”
“Today, I noticed the scar on your hand hadn’t crusted over yet, the position and length aligned with the scar I left on the back of your hand at the Sea of Death, leading me to suspect you are the Old Prince.”
“Of course, although I was nearly certain in my mind that you were the Old Prince, I didn’t reveal you during the day to avoid any mistake.”
Upon hearing this, Sotu understood; it was the sword scar on the back of his hand that had given him away.
He looked at Lin Fei and said, “So, you decided to verify tonight whether I’m the Old Prince, and just so happened to discover I had abducted Su Xiaoyue?”
Lin Fei nodded, “It seems you still haven’t changed your core nature, so quickly targeting Su Xiaoyue to cultivate your evil magic power.”
Sotu sneered coldly, “It’s not just that I urgently need to heal my injuries to seek revenge on you.”
“Unfortunately, you might not live to see that day.” Lin Fei said, “Now, shouldn’t you answer my question? Will you fight, or surrender?”
Sotu squinted his eyes, murderous intent rising in them, “Surrender? After doing so many bad things, would I live if I surrendered?
Rather than sending myself to my death, I’d rather have a life-and-death battle with you.”
Lin Fei nodded, “So you’re forcing me to make a move, seems you still cling to the hope of escaping alive.
However, I’ll shatter that fantasy; today I will personally apprehend you.”
“Dream on!” Sotu shouted angrily.
Then, he channeled his energy, and a violent airflow appeared all over his body, making his gray hair and clothes flutter.
At the same time, a bizarre phenomenon appeared on his body.
As he channeled his energy, his palms began to turn red, like heated iron.
Soon, not just his palms, but his eyes, face, and even his whole body turned red, the red glow was so intense that even his clothes appeared fiery red.
A wave of rolling heat emanated from his body, as if there was a furnace inside him, the heat was astonishing.
Lin Fei was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood: Sotu must have activated the evil magic power!
The rolling heat and horror aura emanating from Sotu made Lin Fei feel the frightening power of this evil magic.
Even harnessing the evil magic power could instantly enhance Sotu’s strength, even surpass his strength before being injured.
This is the terrifying aspect of the evil magic power, its activation can multiply the power, exceeding the user’s own martial skills.
But obtaining such multiplied power comes at the cost of sacrificing one’s life, possibly resulting in a lifetime of incurable ailments as a price.
Thus, the evil magic power often brings the cultivator to taste the bitter fruits of backlash and self-destruction.
And the reason Sotu activated the evil magic power was precisely because he knew he was injured and not as strong as Lin Fei, without using the evil magic power, he faced a dead end.
So, he was willing to risk his life to activate the evil magic power in an attempt to defeat Lin Fei and escape with his life.
Boom.
After activating the evil magic power, the heat aura from Sotu was astonishing as he struck a palm towards Lin Fei.
That palm seemed like molten iron, as if one strike could burn a hole through Lin Fei’s chest.
