Seeing the Horned Demon charge, Li Tian and Zhang Yuhe both knew that the most critical moment had arrived.
However, neither of them had any intention of retreating.
Zhang Yuhe continued to draw down lightning bolts to attack.
At the same time, he controlled the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation to shrink its range, making the invisible Sword Qi denser and its lethality more potent.
The Horned Demon rushed forward, its body constantly being sliced by the dense, invisible Sword Qi.
Yet, it ignored everything, appearing determined not to stop until it had killed both Zhang Yuhe and Li Tian.
Suddenly, Li Tian rose to his full height, swinging his fist and lunging fiercely towards the charging Horned Demon.
Facing a Horned Demon of the Void Refining Realm, even though he was severely wounded himself, Li Tian showed no fear.
He knew that although the Horned Demon appeared fierce, it was actually at the end of its tether.
The Horned Demon had not only lost its right arm, but countless bloody gashes had also been cut into its body by the invisible Sword Qi.
Some of these gashes were deep enough to expose bone.
As lightning bolts struck the Horned Demon's body, even wafts of cooked meat could be smelled.
No matter how powerful the Horned Demon's Physical Body, facing such severe injuries, it certainly wouldn't last much longer.
As long as he could hold the Horned Demon back for even a short while longer, the two Formations controlled by Zhang Yuhe would have a full opportunity to turn the Horned Demon to dust.
Boom…
Two massive fist shadows quickly collided, instantly emitting a scorching light.
The aftermath of their collision even spread beyond Mirror Void City.
The Demon Race members who had just emerged from the passage near the altar were instantly crushed to dust by the ripple effect.
Li Tian once again spat blood and flew backward, while the Horned Demon remained standing still.
The fierce collision just now clearly showed the Horned Demon had the upper hand.
No matter how severe its injuries, it was still a Void Refining Realm cultivator, and Li Tian gained no advantage against it.
However, Li Tian's attack still had a very obvious effect.
The Horned Demon's fierce charge had been interrupted by him.
Zhang Yuhe seized the opportunity to pull out a talisman, gripping it between two fingers and flicking it towards the Horned Demon.
"Go."
The talisman instantly ignited and vanished.
Around the Horned Demon, countless vines rose out of thin air, firmly trapping it.
It was a sixth-tier talisman, the Wood Restraint Talisman.
This talisman had only one purpose: to temporarily restrain the target.
While the Horned Demon was trapped, Zhang Yuhe formed hand seals, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation rapidly shrank its range.
The entire sword Formation was compressed within a ten-Zhang radius around the Horned Demon.
Dense, invisible Sword Qi, like a raging ocean, swept violently towards the Horned Demon.
"Ah…"
The Horned Demon swung its fist, shattering the vines that bound it.
Then, it swung its fist again, striking the outer sword Formation.
Boom…
The black fist shadow instantly landed on the sword Formation's light barrier, causing a violent tremor.
After a moment, it returned to its original state.
The Horned Demon's full-power punch did not penetrate the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Sword Formation.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuhe's tightly strung nerves finally relaxed.
He stared at the Horned Demon within the sword Formation and said fiercely, "You're dead."
The Horned Demon was completely encircled by the sword Formation, and being severely wounded, its strength was no longer what it once was.
Now, if the Horned Demon's full-power strike couldn't break through the sword Formation, it could only await its demise.
Zhang Yuhe continuously formed hand seals, the sword shadows grew denser and denser, and a vast amount of invisible Sword Qi rapidly sliced at the Horned Demon's body.
Despite this, the Horned Demon was still struggling in its death throes; it was unwilling to die like this.
No one wants to die, and the Horned Demon was no exception.
The Horned Demon continuously swung its fists, repeatedly pounding on the sword Formation's light barrier.
However, no matter how the Horned Demon struggled, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation remained unmoving.
As its injuries grew more severe, the Horned Demon's punches also became weaker and weaker.
"Ah…"
Suddenly, the dense, invisible Sword Qi sliced open the Horned Demon's tough body.
The Horned Demon only managed to let out a scream before it was instantly sliced into dust by the dense Sword Qi.
Only a pair of peculiar black long horns remained on the scene.
Seeing the Horned Demon die, Zhang Yuhe let out a long sigh of relief.
Today was truly a bit frightening.
How could he have known that there would be a Void Refining Realm Horned Demon in Mirror Void City?
He had originally thought that the strongest opponent would be Bright Moon Consort of Fengxin Pavilion.
He had absolutely not expected that the Demon Race member on the altar would be a super big BOSS.
He almost overturned the cart.
It was also strange that Lu Mingfang was so unreliable.
Even though he had truthfully reported the situation in Mirror Void City, Lu Mingfang didn't arrange for stronger support.
Although Li Tian's strength was not bad, he was completely outmatched when facing a Void Refining Realm Horned Demon.
Zhang Yuhe lacked experience in this area and didn't know what kind of hidden powers the opponent might have.
However, the Dao Saint Sect surely wasn't dealing with this type of situation for the first time.
They should have experience, right?
It was too unreliable; he was almost killed.
Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation was truly powerful; otherwise, he and Li Tian would have really been done for.
Zhang Yuhe waved his hand, collecting the two long horns from the ground.
Although he didn't know what purpose these two long horns served, it was clear that they were good items.
The entire Horned Demon had turned to dust, yet these two long horns remained perfectly intact.
Putting aside everything else, the hardness of these two long horns was incomparable to ordinary Materials.
Keeping them for future Artifact Refining should yield good results.
After collecting the long horns, Zhang Yuhe formed hand seals, and the nine Flying Swords rapidly descended towards the outskirts of Mirror Void City.
Although the Horned Demon was dead, the passage had not closed.
At this moment, a large number of Demon Race members were still pouring into this area from the passage.
As the Flying Swords descended, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation rose again, and boundless Sword Qi quickly swept through Mirror Void City.
The Sword Qi, like scythes cutting wheat, rapidly shredded the Demon Race members who had just come through the passage.
The highest Realm of these Demon Race members was merely Nascent Soul, unlike the mighty Horned Demon.
A single invisible Sword Qi passing through could cut down a large group.
However, these Demon Race members were also strange.
Even though coming over meant certain death, they still continuously poured in from the passage.
It was as if dogs were chasing them in the Demon Realm, and there was money to be picked up in Yu Fan Heaven.
Even though they were coming to their deaths, these Demon Race members showed no fear.
"The Demon Race is truly terrifying."
Seeing the Horned Demon's fearless demeanor, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but shiver.
Who wouldn't be afraid of those who don't fear death?
Not to mention, this was an entire race.
What a terrifying thing it was for an entire race to not fear death!
After a short while, Li Tian returned, dragging his weakened body.
Zhang Yuhe asked with concern, "Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Li Tian replied weakly, no longer displaying his previous arrogant demeanor.
He really couldn't be arrogant anymore.
Li Tian glanced around, not seeing any trace of the Horned Demon, and asked excitedly, "Junior Brother Zhang, is that Horned Demon dead?"
"Yes, as dead as can be," Zhang Yuhe replied with a smile, his expression slightly excited.
How could he not be happy?
This was his first true battle, and he had killed a Void Refining Realm Demon Race member.
To kill an enemy across a major Realm on his first attempt was definitely something to be proud of.
