When the billowing smoke and dust finally dispersed, the Dark Demon King's revealed figure cut a sorry figure for the very first time. Behind his back, his flesh had burst open.
Although his front was still relatively intact, obvious burn marks had appeared on his arms. That was caused by Ji Li's Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame!
However, the Dark Demon King's absolute strength was, after all, above both Xiao Lin and Ji Li. Therefore, he only looked a bit disheveled. In reality, the damage he sustained was not significant.
Moreover, as a member of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, there was a very common characteristic, which was that they were hard to kill!
Sure enough, the wound on the Dark Demon King's back, which had been slashed open by Xiao Lin, was already healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a short moment, his back had been restored to its original state!
However, when the Dark Demon King looked at the burned areas on his arms, he frowned slightly.
"The places burned by that flame cannot self-heal?"
The Demon Qi swept over, but his arms still remained in a burned state.
Seeing this, the Dark Demon King stopped wasting his efforts.
At the same time, he once again realized deeply just how much the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame countered him!
"I originally wanted to play around with you guys, but since you want to resist, then don't blame this seat for being merciless!"
Having just been beaten up by the joint forces of Xiao Lin and Ji Li, the Dark Demon King was quite displeased in his heart. Recalling his peak period, it wasn't as if he hadn't killed the so-called Dou Sheng of this plane.
But now, as a Demon King, he couldn't even quickly take down two people who were not even equal to Demon Generals, which made the Dark Demon King feel exceptionally aggrieved in his heart!
"If it weren't for suppressing the soul of that fellow Huang Wuji, just based on these two brats!"
This was the fundamental reason why the Dark Demon King held the title of a Demon King but could only exert the strength of a Demon General. Because, at every single moment, he needed to use eighty to ninety percent of his own power to suppress Huang Wuji's soul!
In other words, the strength of the Dark Demon King currently exerted was only ten to twenty percent!
This was the most terrifying part.
However, he was probably also afraid of failing. Especially after being beaten up by the cooperation of Xiao Lin and Ji Li just now, the Dark Demon King decided to use a portion of his trump cards.
No sooner said than done!
Just as the Dark Demon King finished spouting his harsh words, and while Xiao Lin and Ji Li were secretly on guard, the Black Parasol Forest beneath them, including that giant Black Parasol Tree piercing straight into the clouds, at this moment, all seemed to come alive!
"Rustle, rustle, rustle"
The wind rose, and dark clouds surged.
No, those could not be called dark clouds, but rather sky-blotting Demon Qi!
That's right, at this moment, this Black Parasol Forest actually began to emit billowing Demon Qi. This meant that the reason why this Parasol Forest was black was because it had been eroded by the Dark Demon King's Demon Qi.
In fact, the Dark Demon King had been sealed here by the last Ancient Heavenly Phoenix of the Dou Qi Continent, which was Huang Wuji, for an unknown number of years. At the beginning, this entire Parasol Forest was of a normal color.
However, gradually, this Parasol Forest was affected by the Dark Demon King's Demon Qi. Over a long period of time, it turned into its current appearance. After all, normally speaking, Demon Qi absolutely transcended above the Dou Qi of the Dou Qi Continent.
Therefore, for this kind of situation to occur was truly all too normal.
One must know that whether it was the Extraterritorial Evil Clan that invaded the Dou Qi Continent during ancient times, or the Sky Profound Continent, or even the Extraterritorial Evil Clan of the Great Thousand World, they all mainly used their own Demon Qi to erode these planes.
Once these planes were eroded by Demon Qi, everyone in this plane would no longer be able to cultivate. Obviously, as a member of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, the Dark Demon King also mastered this kind of method.
It could be said that almost this entire space had already been corrupted by Demon Qi.
It was just that because of the Dark Demon King's intentional control earlier, it was hidden and not revealed. Now, he felt a threat from Xiao Lin and Ji Li, so he naturally would no longer remain indifferent.
"What are these things?"
Looking at the billowing Demon Qi emerging from the Parasol Forest, Ji Li had a face full of alertness.
"That is Demon Qi. Not good, we have already been surrounded by Demon Qi, and we can no longer absorb the Dou Qi in this place!"
At this moment, Xiao Lin's face looked very ugly.
He had not expected that the Dark Demon King would actually pull such a move. In other words, from now on, whatever Dou Qi they possessed within their bodies would be gone once consumed, as it could no longer be replenished.
For them, this was absolutely not good news!
"Damn it, sure enough, I can no longer absorb Dou Qi! It seems we must end this battle quickly. Otherwise, if this drags on any longer, every single one of us will undoubtedly die!"
Ji Li, who had similarly come to his senses, didn't have a face that looked any better than Xiao Lin's.
On the other side, the eight Formation Masters had also discovered the situation here. Because of this, their faces turned pale in unison. Their current Dou Qi already belonged to a state where there was only consumption but no replenishment!
"Everyone, hold on! Brother Ji Li and Brother Lin are still working hard, so how can we drag them down?"
"If the Dou Qi in everyone's bodies isn't enough to maintain the formation, then pop medicinal pills! In short, it comes down to one phrase: even if we squeeze ourselves dry, we absolutely cannot withdraw the formation!"
Zuo He, who possessed the highest cultivation among the eight Formation Masters, suddenly spoke up at this time to boost morale.
Since they were all people with at least a Dou Zong cultivation, they more or less possessed some medicinal pills on their persons to replenish Dou Qi.
Next, after being unable to absorb the Dou Qi from the outside world, they could only rely on popping medicinal pills to sustain themselves.
"Understood, I will absolutely not drag anyone down, even if I have to risk this life of mine!"
Xi Miaoyun, who had the weakest cultivation, replied with a pale face while gritting her teeth.
Following that, the others also nodded solemnly.
In terms of combat, they were already unable to help with anything. But if they were to continue dragging down Xiao Lin and Ji Li's heels in eliminating the demon, then they truly wouldn't have the face to see anyone ever again!
"Hahaha, now that you can no longer absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world, let me see how you are still going to fight against this seat?"
Looking at the darkened faces of Xiao Lin and Ji Li, the Dark Demon King only felt incomparably gratified. At this moment, the Dark Demon King felt as though victory was already in sight!
Of course, normally speaking, that was indeed the case.
"Humph, we will only know that after we fight! Brother Lin, let's go!"
The moment the voice fell, Ji Li had already rushed toward the Dark Demon King once again.
"Swoosh"
Xiao Lin was not slow either, similarly closing the distance and charging up.
However, after summoning the Demon Qi to envelop this space, the Dark Demon King's various capabilities had once again received a boost.
Sure enough, in the ensuing battle, no matter how flawless the cooperation between Xiao Lin and Ji Li was, and no matter how much Ji Li's Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame Sub-Flame countered the Dark Demon King, it was difficult to achieve the same results as before.
Not only that, after obtaining the assistance of the endless Demon Qi, it instead turned into the Dark Demon King suppressing and beating both Xiao Lin and Ji Li.
"Bang! Bang!"
After two loud bangs resounded, Xiao Lin and Ji Li had both smashed into the ground simultaneously.
This time, their respective roles had completely reversed.
