A Demon Venerable was covered in angular dark red crystalline armor, like a dragon, like a lizard. Its demonic energy, like a raging flame, burned everything.
The other, though in human form, was a full thirty feet tall.
The scorpion tail behind it swayed slightly, and wherever the huge poisonous hook touched, the space was locked and transformed into an endless poisonous liquid cage.
They clearly had been ready and waiting for Jiang Shu to appear the instant he did.
The Melted Crystal Dragon Lizard’s massive claws directly reached for Jiang Shu’s face, the red-gold tip of the claws gathered with a terrifying piercing power.
The Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable’s tail, like a black lightning bolt, silently and soundlessly struck towards Jiang Shu’s back, the dark blue sheen of the tail stinger exuding a lethal coldness that could paralyze the divine soul.
They cooperated with extreme tacit understanding, one launching a frontal strong attack for distraction, while the other executed a vicious sneak assault.
Two attacks capable of flattening hills instantly enveloped the entrance to the Crystal Stone Beehive.
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out, shaking the entire Blood Evil Rock, its peak Crystal Stone Beehive torn apart by the rampant energy, large portions crashing and scattering.
The massive shockwave sent some transformed Great Demons below flying.
But at the center of the attack, the faces of the Melted Crystal Lizard Demon and Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable showed no joy, only endless shock.
For their lethal attack had... missed?
No, it hadn’t missed!
Jiang Shu’s figure vanished like a bubble in a tenth of a split second before the attack reached him.
Then, an indescribable binding force suddenly descended!
"Buzz!"
Centered on where Jiang Shu disappeared, an invisible and intangible yet real microscopic space domain instantly expanded, merely covering the ten feet radius of the Blood Evil Rock’s peak.
This was a new-born great technique triggered by him using the Shui Huan Gloves, combined with the Space Dao Rhyme of the World Tree Seedling, named Cosmic Cage.
Within the domain, spatial density suddenly became extremely viscous, and the wild flame claw shadows and insidious scorpion tail thrust, like insects falling into resin of ten thousand years, had their speed abruptly slowed by a hundred times.
Not only that, the horrifying retardation force carried the rejection of space itself, madly twisting and decomposing the origin demonic power contained within the two Demon Venerables’ attacks!
Space imprisonment, sluggish offense!
Almost as the domain expanded, Jiang Shu’s figure eerily appeared at the side of the Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable.
His left hand still maintained the posture of triggering the space, the glow on the glove streaming with light, vaguely carrying the hum of space being forcefully compressed, but his right hand had already extended.
There were no extravagant lights, nor earth-shattering power and majesty.
Just five fingers slightly bent, reaching towards the spinal weakness of the Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable.
The movement seemed slow, but was actually so fast that the mind could hardly react.
Fast!
Extremely fast!
Jiang Shu’s movement didn’t rely merely on speed, but took the operation of the Power Dao to the extreme.
The arm that seemed to extend out, its muscle fibers instantly erupted with force beyond limits, pushing the arm forward in a manner that nearly broke the spatial distance constraint.
This was a profound application of power origin, compressing massive explosive force into one point, discarding all external "momentum," pursuing only the most direct and lethal destructive efficiency.
Thwack!
A muffled and crisp sound of rupture echoed.
The Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable hadn’t even had time to escape the sluggishness of the space imprisonment before it felt its protective bone armor, as hard as refined gold, being pierced like paper at the instant it touched that seemingly ordinary palm.
An absolutely condensed, destructive power surged into its body along its spinal bone.
And the supreme force contained multiple strongest laws, its seemingly robust physical body was as fragile as tofu in Jiang Shu’s hands.
The spine crumbled inch by inch, the entire demon body convulsing as if about to shatter.
The poison and cruelty in the Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable’s eyes were instantly replaced by boundless fear and despair, it didn’t even have time to let out a scream before its entire demon body slumped down like an eel with its spine pulled out, its vast life origin instantly shredded and annihilated by the invading shards of will.
Instant kill!
An Early Stage Demon Venerable, who moments ago posed a deadly threat, had its life terminated in the blink of Jiang Shu opening space imprisonment and extending his palm, collapsing to the ground.
"Roar!!!"
The Melted Crystal Dragon Lizard, witnessing its companion’s sudden demise, was terrified, its very soul scared, under extreme fear and panic, the ferocity forcibly squeezed out from its body completely erupted.
Its whole lava-like dark red crystalline armor suddenly shone with blinding brilliance, boiling and rolling like liquid, its body swelling by a circle.
It abandoned all skill, crudely and brutally turned itself into a massive, destruction-breathing molten meteor, colliding fiercely towards Jiang Shu.
The whole Melted Crystal Core seemed about to explode.
The terrifying high temperature instantly melted the top of the Crystal Stone Beehive into lava flowing down, even the microscopic space domain shook violently, producing unstable space waves at its edges.
Faced with this sacrificial strike, Jiang Shu did not even glance at it, nor did he withdraw his right hand pressing on the Poison Scorpion Demon Venerable’s corpse, he still maintained his left hand’s posture of controlling the space domain, just a minor shift in his mind.
Swish!
The spatial location the Melted Crystal Lizard Demon crashed towards shattered like a smooth mirror, folding inward like rippling water.
Space folding!
Jiang Shu didn’t choose to confront the burning molten meteor head-on, instead, in the blink of an eye, he manipulated the edge of the microscopic Cosmic Cage to form an inward-twisting invisible "pocket"!
Bringing the destructive aura of annihilation, the Melted Crystal Lizard Demon crashed straight into it!
