Chapter 322 - Demon Sealing Strike Yuan immediately used his movement technique to dodge the demon’s fast but seemingly simple claw attacks. Whoosh! After dodging a couple of attacks, Yuan retaliated with the Starry Abyss that had returned to being invisible. The Starry Abyss tore another hole in the demon’s face, but the demon continued to attack Yuan without falling. "Are you incapable of learning, human?! You can’t kill me no matter how many holes you bore in my body!" However, Yuan ignored the demon’s words and continued to attack it with the Starry Abyss, and in just a couple of minutes, he’d bore over a hundred holes on the demon’s body. ’Is there no limit to its regenerating abilities?’ Yuan wondered inwardly as he casually dodged the demon’s claw attacks. "Blood Spear!" The demon suddenly created a long spear from its own blood before thrusting it at Yuan’s face. "Whoa!" Yuan was slightly surprised by the spear, but he’d still managed to dodge it. "I’ve had enough of you, damn human! Die!" The demon created a dozen more spears that levitated in the air like the Starry Abyss. [Flying Blood Spears!] The demon pointed at Yuan, and a dozen spears suddenly flew at Yuan with extreme speed. [Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!] Yuan swung his sword once, destroying all of the spears simultaneously and erasing one of the demon’s arms temporarily. Seeing that its attack had failed, the demon continued to attack Yuan aggressively with the spear. Ding! Ding! Clang! Yuan defended himself with the Empyrean Overlord whilst attacking the demon with the Starry Abyss, waiting for the perfect opportunity to use the Demon Sealing Strike. However, the demon completely ignored the Starry Abyss and focused on attacking Yuan. Meanwhile, Lan Yingying watched their intensive fight from a place where the demon cannot enter with a dazed expression on her face. This is her first time seeing a human fight a demon and on such an equal standing. Even though demons are known for being insanely powerful, this demon appears to be struggling against a human cultivator who is only a Spirit Warrior! "Stop running away! What are you, a cockroach?!" The demon exclaimed in an agitated voice when it realized that it couldn’t defeat this human’s profound movement techniques. "If you don’t want me to dodge then you should probably stop attacking me." Yuan casually responded. "Like hell! I’ll fucking kill you at all cost!" The demon shouted as he continued his endless wave of assaults. "And you humans have limited energy! Unlike us demons, you’re useless once your spiritual energy runs out, and you’ll be no different than a mortal with no powers!" Lan Yingying then warned him, "Yuan! You must finish this fight as soon as possible! The longer you fight a demon the more disadvantaged you are! Demons have nearly unlimited stamina and spiritual energy! You won’t outlast him in endurance!" "Why don’t you come out here and help your human friend, little princess? However, I can’t promise you that I won’t accidentally eat you as well! Hahaha!" The demon provoked her. "It’s okay, Miss Lan. You don’t have to worry about me. It won’t be long before I defeat this demon." Yuan then said. "I’d like to see you try!" The demon coldly snorted. While it was afraid of Yuan’s Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, it was confident that Yuan wouldn’t be able to use this technique too many times since it looked like it would consume a lot of spiritual energy. Furthermore, the technique itself was easy to dodge as long as one remains vigilant, and as long as it doesn’t hit its entire body, it’ll be able to regenerate itself. Yuan and the demon clashed against each other hundreds of times over the next few minutes, and once they were beginning to get into the rhythm, Yuan’s aura suddenly exploded, and a pressurizing aura appeared around them, restricting the demon’s movements. [Heavenly Domain!] The demon was taken by surprise by this mysterious pressure that slowed down its movements by a fair amount. "What is this uncomfortable feeling?!" However, slowing down the demon’s movements was just a ploy to distract its attention and also the beginning of Yuan’s plan. "Hey! Demon!" Yuan suddenly called out to it, causing it to subconsciously turn to look at him. The moment the demon’s gaze met with Yuan’s eyes, his eyes turned golden and assaulted the demon with an invisible mental attack that was unlike anything the demon has experienced before. The world suddenly turned dark for the demon, and all the demon could focus on at this moment was a pair of majestic eyes from an unfathomable existence hovering behind Yuan that looked down at it as though it was a mere ant. "W-What the fuck are you?! You’re not human!" The demon mistook Yuan as a monster in human skin when it experienced the Dragon’s Gaze, and it feared for its life for the first time. However, Yuan didn’t say anything and took this chance to attack the demon when it was frozen from fear. [Demon Sealing Strike!] Yuan stabbed the Empyrean Overlord that was emitting an ancient aura directly in the demon’s chest, not noticing the symbols that had appeared on the sword’s blade. "Huh?" The demon didn’t feel any pain, only a numbed feeling, and it didn’t realize that it had a sword piercing its body until it looked down and saw the massive sword between its chest. "What do you think you’re doing? You really don’t learn— " The demon halted its sentence when it realized something was amiss— that its body was getting stiffer by the second. The demon looked down again for the second time, and to its surprise, the wound around the sword was actually transforming! It was turning into stone! "W-What is this?! What did you just do to me?!" The demon roared out loud and attacked Yuan in a panicked manner, but it struggled to release any strength. Yuan kicked the demon in the stomach and pulled out the Empyrean Overlord from its body simultaneously before speaking in a calm voice, "Who knows, but I hope this demon sealing technique works on you." "D-D-Demon sealing technique?! Why do you know something like that?! Don’t tell me you’re a descendant of the Demon Sealing Clan?!" The demon exclaimed while it kneeled on the ground powerlessly, feeling its body getting weaker as the petrifying effect from its wound spread throughout its body. "Demon Sealing Clan? Never heard of them before. I learned this technique from a technique store some time ago." Yuan calmly responded, feeling quite happy that the technique appeared to be working perfectly against this demon. "Curse you! I curse you, damn human!" The demon shouted loudly, and it felt an intense urge to rip Yuan to pieces, but alas, all four of its limbs and the majority of its body had turned to stone. "If I ever get out of this seal, I will fucking kill you—!" The demon’s shouting halted when its mouth turned into stone, and a few more seconds later, the rest of the demon became petrified, transforming into a stone statue completely. "Yuan... you... you really sealed the demon?" Lan Yingying approached him and the petrified demon sometime later with clear disbelief on her face. "I hope so," he said.
