"Be careful, something’s coming," Nie Caizhu suddenly spoke. Before her words fell, a surge of darkness erupted from underground, enveloping Shen Luo’s enemies. Before the three could react, a clawed blue beast paw glistening with scales, a thick tentacle flashing with black light, and a fist filled with golden light suddenly shot out from the darkness, targeting Shen Luo, Nie Caizhu, and Beiming Kun respectively. Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, stood firm without moving, and formed a spell with his hand. A bright golden sword qi shot out from his hand, with traces of golden lightning flickering on it, which was the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, striking the blue beast paw. With a "screech," the blue beast paw was nearly cut in half. Nie Caizhu agilely flipped backward, landing with the Ruo Mu Divine Bow in her hand, and shot a golden light arrow that pierced through the black tentacle coming at her. Beiming Kun did not use any divine powers but instead charged forward, raising a fist to collide with the lightning-covered fist. He didn’t use much demon power, but his battle-hardened demonic body was tougher than any magical treasures, causing the golden beast fist to crack with bones fracturing. Seizing the opportunity as the enemy was repelled, Shen Luo grabbed at the void with five fingers, striking five golden sword qis into the surrounding darkness. All the darkness ripped apart like a curtain, and before their eyes flashed, returning them to the dim passageway. Three tall demonic silhouettes appeared ahead, one with a shark-headed fish head, wearing a set of blue demonic armor, apparently a shark monster. In the middle was a massive black octopus sea monster, its large octopus tentacles dancing quickly, stirring up fierce winds. The last was a tall and strong burly man with a mane of lion, his hair standing like countless iron needles, seemingly a lion monster. The demonic power in these three demons had reached the Taiyi Realm, but they appeared dazed, as if controlled by someone. Behind the three demons, a blue figure stood in the void, none other than the Tear Demon. "Hehe, you indeed chased after me, which saves me the trouble of finding you," the Tear Demon sneered. "Tear Demon, you and I are acquainted for quite a while. Coming to the Abyss of Eastern Sea, I believe I have not mistreated you. Why do you attack me stealthily?" Shen Luo asked calmly, showing neither joy nor anger. "You are from the Human Race, I am from the Demon Race, inherently of different paths. Why is it strange for me to strike against you?" The Tear Demon smirked. "It seems you don’t want to speak the truth. Nevermind, I’ll capture you, and I’ll naturally have ways to make you talk," Shen Luo said indifferently. "Hehe, you, who have just comprehended the power of laws, think you can capture me? Such arrogance. Fine, today I’ll let you witness the true power of the Laws! Capture those three!" The Tear Demon laughed and suddenly commanded. White light spots appeared on the damaged parts of the three demon races’ bodies, quickly healing their wounds as they aggressively rushed forward. The shark monster moved its arm, and suddenly a ten-foot-long blue flying fork appeared in its hand, which then enlarged tenfold. The shark monster’s body grew bigger, gripping the fork with both hands, and fiercely slashed downward. A blue blade light fell from the sky like a waterfall, slashing towards Shen Luo with countless bolts of blue lightning dancing on it. Shen Luo flipped his hand, summoning the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, forming a spell to enlarge it dozens of times, transforming into a gigantic golden sword to meet the blue blade light. The blue blade light looked astonishingly powerful, but how could it compare to the Xuanyuan Divine Sword? With a gentle "bang," the blue blade light shattered, turning into countless blue lights dispersing. Shen Luo flicked his spell, and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword turned into a lightning sword shadow, shooting skyward, instantly appearing in front of the shark monster and slashing down. Even before the sword descended, countless golden lightning bolts were already thundering down. The shark monster quickly raised the blue fish spear, with blue light swelling out to block in front. With a huge "clank," the Xuanyuan Divine Sword struck the blue fish spear, splitting the spear shaft in half, barely blocking the Xuanyuan Divine Sword’s strike. A gleam flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes, and a vague red sword shadow shot from the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, striking into the fish demon’s head in a flash, it was the Heart Sword Divine Technique. The shark monster’s body shook violently, the blue light all over dissipating instantly, and the light on the fish spear as well. With a flick of his wrist, Shen Luo activated the Power Law. The Xuanyuan Divine Sword burst with golden light, and with a "crack," sliced through the blue fish spear, then slashed across the shark monster’s neck. The shark monster’s head was sliced off, yet strangely no blood spurted out, and its enormous body fell heavily to the ground. Surprised, Shen Luo glanced at the Tear Demon, wanting to see how it reacted. However, unexpectedly, the Tear Demon had disappeared again at some unknown moment. He frowned and calmly observed his surroundings, while using a spell to direct the Xuanyuan Sword, transforming into a golden shadow, rushing toward the black octopus monster battling Nie Caizhu. At this moment, the headless body of the shark monster suddenly stood up from the ground, two beast claws shooting out dazzling blue claw lights at Shen Luo like lightning. Shen Luo gasped, lightning burst from his feet, turning into an afterimage passing between the beast’s claws, landing dozens of feet away, and turned back in astonishment. This demon was clearly killed just now, its aura completely gone, so how could it still move? The headless shark monster missed its strike, its claws radiating blue light, with countless claw lights making a screeching sound shooting at Shen Luo. Although surprised, Shen Luo kept calm, raising the Blood Essence Banner to protect himself, while his right hand swung down. The Xuanyuan Divine Sword shot back, becoming a golden line piercing through countless claw lights, appearing in front of the headless shark monster and slashing in mid-air. With a "screech," the headless shark monster was once again sliced in half from neck to waist, the body also flying out. Yet at this moment, countless white light silks spouted from the cut of the headless shark monster’s body, reuniting the two halves, even the severed fish head flew back, reattaching itself. Seeing this, Shen Luo was genuinely surprised. The situation on Nie Caizhu’s side was the same; no matter the damage inflicted on these monsters, it couldn’t hinder their actions, as they continued to fiercely attack with battered bodies. Those broken bodies would automatically reassemble moments later, as if they were immortal. "Both of you, stop using such attacks. These demon races are controlled by the Puppet Law of the Ancestral Dragon. The Puppet Law of the Ancestral Dragon has been cultivated to the peak realm, regardless of the extent of the puppet’s body’s damage, the Puppet Law can restore it. To completely stop their actions, you must completely annihilate their bodies," Beiming Kun’s voice echoed in their minds. The lion monster they were battling had half of its body shattered, and those broken pieces were incinerated by its own demonic fire, indeed failing to reconnect. With only half its body, the lion monster, though still fighting hard, could only exert less than half its previous combat power.
