"HAHAHAHA!"

The demon started laughing when it saw Yuan running at it in a seemingly reckless manner.

"A mere early-stage Spirit Master dares to challenge me?! A demon?! Your mother must have never taught you about demons, human!"

The demon stood there without moving as it continued laughing even though Yuan was already in front of it.

"Ha!"

Yuan swung his sword with all of his might, tearing the demon's body in half.

"Oh? You're a little more powerful than you appear. No wonder why you dared to challenge me." The demon remained calm even after getting split in half.

"However, that won't be enough to stop me from ripping your flesh and chewing your bones."

The demon completely regenerated its body before it even finished its sentence.

"He wasn't exaggerating about their regeneration abilities… How are we supposed to defeat a monster like that?!"

The grand elders lost all will to fight when they witnessed firsthand the demon's heaven-defying regenerating abilities, and they could only stand there in shock as they watched Yuan fight with the demon.

Of course, the demon wasn't taking Yuan seriously, as it was still filled with exhilaration from breaking free from the seal, so it wanted to play around with its food before eating them as a way of celebrating its freedom.

However, even as he was fighting the demon, Yuan didn't stop trying to comprehend the Demon Sealing Strike inside his head.

The demon eventually got tired of just taking Yuan's attacks and retaliated with its own attack.

"Bloody Claws!"

The demon used its blood to turn its fingers into a long and sharp weapon before swinging them at Yuan.

"Flying Daggers!"

Yuan controlled two separate daggers to attack the demon after backing up.

However, the demon completely ignored the daggers, allowing them to pierce its body as many times as it wants.

Of course, Yuan didn't care whether his attacks worked or not on the demon, as his only intention was to stall the demon for as long as possible so that Meixiu and the others could escape and evacuate the Jaded Garden.

Midway through his fight, Yuan suddenly began feeling the mysterious power once again, and his body emitted a golden aura.

"Hm?" The demon raised its eyebrows when it sensed this mysterious power within Yuan.

'What is that power? I want to taste it!'

The demon suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to consume Yuan, and it no longer had the patience to play around with its food.

BOOM!

The demon released its cultivation base, creating a powerful shockwave that tossed the coffins in the room all the way to the wall.

"Let me eat you… LET ME EAT YOU!"

The demon drooled with saliva as it pounced at Yuan while emitting an incredibly bloodthirsty aura.

Yuan was surprised by the demon's sudden aggression, but he didn't panic, and the overwhelming power in his body helped calm his mind.

Clang!

Yuan took the demon's strike head-on with his sword, but even with his golden aura, he was pushed back by that strike.

Furthermore, while he was enveloped by this golden aura, his comprehension of the Demon Sealing Strike would progress a little faster.

Bang! 

Clang!

Boom!

The entire room was destroyed as Yuan and the demon fought back and forth with broken coffins and dried-up corpses that had been resting inside these coffins scattered around like trash.

This was a heartbreaking scene for the grand elders, but they were too terrified of the demon to even do anything about it.

However, one cannot blame the grand elders for being scared out of their minds, as demons have this savage aura that makes humans instinctively fear them.

Meanwhile, Yuan was on the verge of being suppressed by the demon.

Even though he has his golden aura that significantly boosts his strength, it wasn't nearly enough to deal with the demon, who was actually growing more and more powerful as it got used to using its body after being sealed for so many years.

Bang!

The demon swung its sharp hands at Yuan, sending him flying across the room.

Boom!

Yuan fell onto the floor after hitting the wall.

"Damn it… Why am I so weak?" Yuan quickly got back up to his feet.

Unfortunately, by the time he stood back up, the demon was already in front of him.

Whoosh!

The demon suddenly extended its claw-like hands out, grabbing Yuan by the neck and lifting him into the air with ease.

"You're pretty powerful for someone at the first level Spirit Master. Unfortunately, you do not have what it takes to deal with demons. You also have a mysterious power inside you. I cannot wait to taste your blood and acquire this power for myself."

The demon opened its mouth and prepared to bite a chunk out of Yuan's body, but it suddenly felt something pierce its body.

The demon looked down to see a spear piercing its chest. It turned around to see Senior Hong standing behind it with a spear in his grasp.

However, his expression was still filled with terror.

"Don't worry, you will get your turn after I eat this brat."

The demon sneered and returned to focusing Yuan, completely ignoring Senior Hong and the spear in its body.

Yuan, who had been trying to break free from the demon's hold, accidentally removed his mask from all the struggling, revealing to everyone there his face for the first time.

The grand elders weren't in the mood to care about Yuan's identity right now, so they didn't care.

However, when the demon saw Yuan's face, its body immediately began trembling with intense fear, almost like an animal right before its prey.

"YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

The demon suddenly roared in a terrified tone, immediately released its grip on Yuan's neck, and even jumped back, distancing itself from him.

"You must be here to seal me again! No! I will not let you seal me for a second time! I will kill as many humans as I can before you take me!"

Almost like it had gone crazy, the demon began running towards the exit with its tail tucked between its legs, completely ignoring the fact that it'd just dominated Yuan.

"Fuck! The demon is leaving the tomb! We have to stop it!"

The grand elders that had been rooted in their spot this entire time suddenly regained their ability to control their bodies, and they immediately chased after the demon.

"Daoist Yuan! Are you okay?!" Senior Hong helped him to his feet.

"I am! Let's also chase after the demon! Many people will die if that demon leaves this place!" Yuan quickly stood up and began chasing the demon, not even bothering to ponder why the demon suddenly let him go.

However, the demon was too fast for any of them to catch, leaving Yuan and the others in the dust.

"Shit! It's heading towards the Jaded Garden!"

"How long did we manage to stall the demon for?! Hopefully, it's enough to let the others evacuate!"

"Daoist Yuan, you can go ahead of us!"

Yuan nodded and immediately used his movement technique while pouring all of his spiritual energy into it, reaching a speed that he didn't know was possible before.
