Chapter 305: Snatching the Sword Intent Together

These demon tribes had clearly come to pick a fight. After hurling threats, they attacked without warning. You You wasn’t worried at first, but since they were in the Demon Realm, she worried that fighting back might expose her identity. She focused on dodging, but with seven or eight attackers bombarding her relentlessly, evasion grew harder.

“Ah You!” Gong Xi noticed the chaos below while battling above. She hurled a blast of Demonic Energy downward, flinging several assailants away.

The distraction gave other city lords an opening. Cunning ones immediately shouted to their subordinates, “Seize that girl!”

Realizing they could eliminate competition, the rest ordered their own forces to swarm You You. Soon, every demon below targeted her.

You You: “…”

MMP!

Already cornered, You You now faced dozens of attackers. Swords slashed, spells flew—all aimed at her. She gripped her hidden Spirit Sword, debating whether to strike back.

Above, Gong Xi panicked. “Ah You!” She shoved two city lords back, glancing down anxiously. As she turned to rush downward, another city lord seized the chance to blast Demonic Energy at her. Gong Xi dodged but got grazed by the shockwave.

Seeing this worked, the city lords intensified their assault on You You. One demon produced a high-level magical tool—a sinister net radiating dark-red energy—and flung it at her.

Gong Xi paled. “Blood Mourning Net!” Even high-level demons struggled to escape it. She abandoned her fight, diving toward You You.

You You ducked a demon’s strike just as the net descended. Instinctively summoning her Spirit Sword, she prepared to slash—but wind blades sliced through the net first. The tool shattered, its wielder coughing blood from the backlash.

“You You!”

“Ah You!”

Feng Rong and Yuan Qi landed beside her, having arrived just in time. Yuan Qi scanned her for injuries while Feng Rong gripped her arm protectively.

Gong Xi, mistaking them for enemies, charged toward them.

“I’m fine—” You You’s reply cut short as she spotted the city lords converging on Gong Xi’s exposed back. “Watch the bracelet!”

She lunged forward.

Gong Xi sensed the attack but couldn’t evade fully. A dozen city lords’ combined strike overwhelmed her defenses. As lethal energy surged toward her, You You yanked her back and swung her sword wildly.

BOOM!

The clash blocked the attack but blasted both women backward. You You staggered, struggling to steady herself while holding Gong Xi. Before she could recover, sword energy swarmed them—countless blades forming an impenetrable wall.

Gong Xi reacted swiftly, encasing them in a Demonic Energy barrier. The metallic clang of blades echoed as You You realized they’d been forced into the sword wall encircling the Demon Hall.

“Ah You… why risk yourself?” Gong Xi murmured, her gaze a mix of gratitude and melancholy, as if moved to tears.

You You shuddered at her intense stare. “Why aren’t they chasing us?”

Gong Xi grimaced. “This sword energy never fades. They wanted to trap me here. No fool would follow.”

“So we’re stuck?!”

“We’re near the edge. Breaking out… is possible, but…” She glanced uneasily at You You.

Unfazed, You You focused on the Yin volume’s growing resonance. Below, Feng Rong and Yuan Qi fought through demon hordes, hindered by their disguised status.

“I found the last volume!” You You shouted.

The two froze, then grinned.

“Perfect timing!” Feng Rong’s laugh ignited infernos. Flames devoured surrounding demons, reducing them to ash. Two city lords lost arms to the blaze.

Every attacker froze, gaping at the duo below.
