Chapter 1876 I won’t let you hurt those precious to me

Time stopped for every living being in the area. Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the cultivators of Heavenly Field Island, and even the insects, birds, and beasts had all been turned into statues. Even Fairy @#%x, who had a body of virtue, and Fairy Creation, who was also in a special state, were not spared from the freezing of time.

(Body of Eternity!) a crazed voice shouted. The energy of a consciousness gushed out of one of the demonic heads.

The demonic head, which was originally already a part of a ruined body, could not withstand the huge force that came with the descent of such a powerful will. The demonic head began to collapse, flesh and blood unceasingly falling away from it, and revealing the skull beneath. [Eternity!) The demonic head leaped violently toward the smoky Song Shuhang-it wanted to snatch Song Shuhang’s body. As long as the demonic head made contact with Song Shuhang before it collapsed completely, it would be able to begin taking over his body.

Bam!

However, just as the demonic head was about to reach Song Shuhang’s face, a slender hand reached out and grabbed it.

The black-skinned Soft Feather’s body had emerged from Song Shuhang’s shadow.

“Senior Song is a very precious person to me, and I can’t let you hurt him.” The black-skinned Soft Feather smiled. Afterward, she threw the demonic head far into the distance, causing it to smash straight into a wall. The black-skinned Soft Feather, who had originally been instructing Northern River’s Loose Cultivator on his inner demon clone, had somehow returned to Song Shuhang’s shadow at some unknown time.

In this space where all living beings were ‘frozen in time’, the black-skinned Soft Feather was not affected, and could move freely.

After the black-skinned Soft Feather threw away the demonic head, she reached out and grabbed the black Scarlet Heaven Sword on the back of Song Shuhang, pulling it away from him. “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, stop pretending to be dead. It’s our time to shine.” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “I wasn’t pretending to be dead… In fact, I was also affected by the ‘time stop’ just now. I had fallen into a trance.”

In this space where time was frozen, those who had inner demon bodies seemed to be unaffected.

The black-skinned Soft Feather said encouragingly, “Cheer up, Senior.” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Do you know how to use saber techniques?” The black-skinned Soft Feather replied, “No, I only know the sword techniques of Spirit Butterfly Island.”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword mused, “What an odd coincidence. I don’t know any sword intent, and I only grasp saber intent. It seems that we don’t work that well together.”

The black-skinned Soft Feather giggled. “It doesn’t matter, whether it’s a sword or a saber, they’re both used to stab people.”

In the distance, the demonic head that had been slammed against a wall got back up again. This time, all of the flesh on it had fallen off, leaving only a skull suspended in the air. “Let’s go, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.” The black-skinned Soft Feather stomped on the ground with her foot, and then sprinted toward the skull as fast as lightning. The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “By the way, are we really inner demons?”

If they were inner demons, then why were they protecting Song Shuhang and the others? Normally speaking, shouldn’t an inner demon stand by the side and watch everyone die?

I feel like you and I are fake inner demons.

“Butterfly-Eagle Transformation!” The black-skinned Soft Feather did not bother with any nonsense. She immediately swung Scarlet Heaven Sword using the combination sword technique from Spirit Butterfly Island. As she swung the sword, sword qi in the form of an eagle with butterfly wings on its back shot toward the floating skull.

Clang!

The sword qi cleanly struck the skull, but did not even leave a mark on it.

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword guessed, “That skull’s strength should have been around the Ninth Stage, but with it having been ruined and pushed to the limit by a powerful energy, its current strength should be between the Sixth and Seventh Stage.”

“That’s not good,” the black-skinned Soft Feather said. “Right now, I can only kill those at the Fifth Stage. Even with Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s help, I don’t think I have much of a chance of winning against it.”

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “It would have been great if I had been charged up by Scarlet Heaven. If that had been the case, I could have easily destroyed this skull with a single Heaven Burning Flaming Saber.”

“Unfortunately, there are no ifs and buts in this world. Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, just bring out everything you’ve got.” The black-skinned Soft Feather held Scarlet Heaven Sword with both of her hands, and said, “Let’s release our sword and saber intent! i’ll cooperate with you in dishing out an attack!”

While they were talking, the skull had adjusted its posture, and began rushing toward Song Shuhang again. It had no intention of fighting against the black-skinned Soft Feather or Scarlet Heaven Sword; the only thing it wanted was to acquire Song Shuhang’s body.

“Don’t you dare look down on us.” The black-skinned Soft Feather’s figure flashed as she reappeared in front of Song Shuhang. Holding Scarlet Heaven Sword in both hands, she swung it like a club, squarely hitting the skull, and knocking it back once more.

Behind her, a pair of hands quietly returned to Song Shuhang’s chest—these hands belonged to his ghost spirit.

Song Shuhang’s ghost spirit had not been affected by the ‘time stop’. If the black-skinned Soft Feather had not been able to block the skull just now, it would have taken her place in defending Song Shuhang.

“This is bad. That skull is too strong for me,” the black-skinned Soft Feather said. “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, aren’t you an Immortal’s divine weapon? Logically speaking, you should be very sharp, right? Why can’t you cut that skull apart?”

“I’m just a sword-type inner demon, and I’m not even a sword spirit. I don’t have a corresponding physical body, so how can I be sharp?” the black Scarlet Heaven Sword replied calmly. “Moreover, because of Dharma King Creation’s singing just now, I was greatly weakened. The fact that I’m able to fight alongside you is already exceptional.”

“…” The black-skinned Soft Feather.

This black Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword is so unreliable.

Meanwhile, the skull that had been knocked away managed to get up once again.

The skull let out an angered roar. The violent will that had possessed it became very anxious.

It was greatly limited due to having traversed time and space. Besides that, maintaining the time ‘frozen’ was also quite costly. This caused it to feel both anxious and enraged at the repeated setbacks that it had suffered.

At this time, cracks were appearing on the skull due to it being unable to handle the force that came with the descent of the will. The energy from the frenzied will spread throughout the skull, merging to form a tentacled creature made of pure energy.

Snap!

The energy tentacles shot toward the black-skinned Soft Feather, moving as fast as lightning

The black-skinned Soft Feather hurriedly raised her sword to block them.

Crack

She managed to raise her sword just in time, but several cracks appeared on the black Scarlet Heaven Sword. The black-skinned Soft Feather groaned and was sent flying back, crashing into Song Shuhang’s body.

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword shouted crisply, “Damn, that hurt!”

The energy tentacles bounced back after sending Soft Feather reeling backwards.

The tips of the tentacles then turned into drills, and moved to stab the black-skinned Soft Feather.

“Aaaah, I’m going to die!” cried the black-skinned Soft Feather.

Bam!

Suddenly, a pitch-black palm emerged from the sky, and smashed the tentacles to the ground.

At the same time, another palm holding a large shield moved to protect the black-skinned Soft Feather.

Afterward, another couple of tentacles were blocked by the Tyrant King Expert’s Shield.

Song Shuhang’s voice sounded. “Heh, you’re still too young to die!”

The power of the pseudo-eternity body and the ghost spirit had allowed him to free himself from the time stop.
