Chapter 0874: True Devil Li Lingjing

"Li Lingjing?!" When Li Luo saw the young girl walking out of the forest, a chill ran through his whole body and his face displayed his total disbelief.

He had never expected the strange Soul Eater True Devil to take the appearance of Li Lingjing!

When Li Fengyi and the others on the side heard Li Luo's exclamation, their faces could not help but change. They asked in surprise, "She's Li Lingjing? How can this be possible? How would she appear here?" Li Luo was still confused. This odd scene had really left them stumped. Shouldn't Li Lingjing be back in Western City?

Or could it be that the person in front of them wasn't really her?

In that case, this girl that looked exactly the same... who was she exactly?

Li Luo's heart trembled. “Could this be... the Soul Eater True Devil?”

As Li Luo and the rest were still shocked by the sudden appearance of Li Lingjing, she cast her gaze over at Li Luo. A bright smile appeared on her charming face.

In the next moment, she waved passionately at Li Luo and walked over to them naturally.

Seeing this, Li Luo hastily shouted, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Li Lingjing paused in her tracks and frowned slightly when she heard this. "What's the matter?" she asked. Her voice was exactly the same as Li Lingjing’s.

Li Luo's eyes flickered a little as he forced a smile out and asked, "Cousin Li Lingjing, weren't you in Western City?"

"I was worried about you, so I snuck over here," Li Lingjing replied.

Hearing this, Li Luo let out a sigh. Li Lingjing had not recovered from her injuries and could not even get out of her own house. How could she enter the Dark Domain, get past all the Others, and arrive at the Crimson Fire Mountain Range deep in the region?

Therefore, the Li Lingjing in front of them was highly suspicious. There was no way Li Luo could trust her.

There were too many factors that told them that the Li Lingjing in front of them was not the Li Lingjing that he knew. Back in the old manor, Li Lingjing had explained to them that half of her spirit had been consumed by the Soul Eater True Devil. Knowing their weird habits, it was totally possible that the Other had changed its physical appearance to look like Li Lingjing.

As Li Luo kept his guard up against Li Lingjing, Zhao Jingyu and his thugs were staring at the mysterious girl that had suddenly appeared.

"Who're you?" Zhao Jingyu asked coldly.

However, Li Lingjing ignored him and kept smiling at Li Luo.

Seeing this, a chill arose in Zhao Jingyu's eyes and he immediately slashed down with his huge blade. A ray of icy blade-light hacked through the air and lashed towards her.

In a breath's time, the blade light flew past Li Lingjing's shoulder, and her slender arm fell onto the floor.

However, she was still smiling despite losing an arm. There were no signs of pain on her face at all.

Li Luo retreated immediately when he saw this. This time, Zhao Jingyu's attack had helped him probe her out. The person in front of them was definitely not Li Lingjing.

"So painful."

At this moment, Li Lingjing turned her head to look at her fallen arm, showing a miserable, pained expression.

She immediately became angry and asked Zhao Jingyu, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jingyu's face changed instantly too. He knew from that reaction that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him. Most likely, she was another Other.

"Damn it, Li Luo. You're really an unlucky star!" Zhao Jingyu scolded angrily. He had visited this Dark Domain in the past and encountered True Devil Others. However, it was at most one of them per expedition. Yet he had nearly encountered all the possible True Devil Others in this Dark Domain at least once in his pursuit of Li Luo.

At this moment, he regretted coming here to cause trouble for Li Luo. He probably would have been better off settling his grudge outside.

In the same moment, Li Lingjing had affixed her eyes upon Zhao Jingyu. The smile on her petite face was getting brighter and more charming.

Nonetheless, there was a cold, black light flowing deep in her eyes if one were to look carefully.

She stretched out her slender, jade fingers and flicked at Zhao Jingyu casually.

Strange, black light flew through the void and left two conspicuous trails that sliced through the air.

Zhao Jingyu was already on guard against Li Lingjing despite this. As soon as she struck out, he reacted with a deep roar. Energy surged up, and an energy wall formed around him.

He did not dare to underestimate this strange person. He went all-in on defense with no plans to counterattack.

Thanks to Harmony, he should be able to fend off an attack even from a second-grade Duke.

However, the result was not as expected.

When the black lights struck the energy wall, two black marks were left on it. In the next moment, the black lights passed through the wall unobstructed before Zhao Jingyu's surprised eyes.

Sssh!

Before Zhao Jingyu could react, the lights arced forward, and he felt excruciating pain coming from his arms. He was stunned when he looked down. Both of his arms had been severed! Fresh blood spewed out of them immediately.

“AHH!”

Zhao Jingyu screamed in pain. His face was twisted in agony and his eyes were filled with horror. He had never imagined that she would cut off both of his arms so easily.

His defense was totally useless against her!

This terrible scene left everyone in the field dumbfounded. Even Li Luo and his gang narrowed their eyes instinctively.

They had just fought Zhao Jingyu and knew very well how strong he was in the state of Harmony, yet his arms were easily severed. Just how strong was she?

The Li Lingjing imposter had to be a second-grade or third-grade True Devil at the very least!

The other three Division Leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao hurried over to help Zhao Jingyu. They supported him, staunching the bleeding with pills whilst giving him some recovery medicine immediately.

At this point, Zhao Jingyu's face was totally twisted. His eyes were red with fury and murderous intent.

"Let's work together and kill this beast!" he shouted in a low voice as he looked over to Li Luo's side.

"Li Luo, this True Devil is unlike the others. If you all want to live, let's work together to slay it!"

Hearing this, Li Luo's eyes flickered. He looked over to Li Fengyi and the other two. The three of them pondered for a second and then nodded decisively.

"Let's kill this enemy first," Deng Fengxian said rationally.

The others agreed too. Although Zhao Jingyu was annoying and was considered an adversary, it was still better to work together when faced against these mysterious Others. If not, they might not be able to escape once this creature finished off Zhao Jingyu and his gang.

"Alright!"

With no objection from the others, Li Luo no longer hesitated. He nodded to Zhao Jingyu, and the four of them summoned up their energy and focused on the same foe.

Zhao Jingyu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let's do it!"

All four on his side also locked their gazes on Li Lingjing. For a moment, the power of eight Dukes surrounded her in all directions. Despite these attacks, Li Lingjing maintained her bright smile. The smile appeared a little fake, as if it had been drawn onto her face.

She raised her slender jade hands slowly as she let out a sigh.

Weng!

When she raised her jade hands, black smoke suddenly rose up from two areas of the forest. The smoke was thick and there seemed to be countless screams coming from it. Upon closer look, there were two silhouettes looming within them.

When Li Luo and the rest looked at it carefully, the silhouettes seemed to resemble the Red Eye True Devil and Human Skin True Devil that they had slain earlier.

The locations where the smoke was rising were exactly where the two True Devils had fallen earlier.

Li Luo was startled by this, and he shouted, "Attack! She's going to use the corpses of the two True Devils to cast her spell!" The intelligence of the Soul Eater True Devil was far beyond their expectations. Ordering the other True Devils to ambush them was only the first step, a precursor to the main show. Her plan was to use their corpses to cast an extraordinary spell once they had slain the two True Devils.

After Li Luo's warning, eight immense blasts of energy flew out at the same time. They went directly for Li Lingjing like eight giant, unruly pythons.

The worldly natural energy in the forest started to boil under this intensive offense.

The eight energy pythons shattered Li Lingjing upon contact and she exploded instantly.

However, there was no time for the crowd to celebrate. The destroyed body turned into a thick, black mist and fused together with the Red Eye True Devil and the Human Skin True Devil.

In the next moment, the strange and thick mist detonated.

Black smoke spread endlessly like a wave and covered thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.

Li Luo and his group were the first ones to bear the brunt of the attack. They had fallen into the sea of black mist.
