Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 850

Chapter 850 Battle of Assassins (III)

Demonraise did not care for his opponent's dangerous gaze. He was only mildly surprised she survived his [Beastly Gaze of Fear] with such little effort.

'I should not focus on fear in general, but fear of death,' analyzed Demonraise as he realized his attack was too broad; if he had focused his gaze, the final result would have been more intense.

'Hm? Where is she?'

Demonraise activated all the receptors from the Star-Nosed Mole, trying to detect his opponent's whereabouts. However, he searched everywhere, including the surrounding dimensions, with no success.

Then, his beast instinct suddenly activated as he felt great danger coming. Demonraise tried to move his body, but it was too late.

Push!

Two daggers pierced him from his back, puncturing many of his internal organs. Demonraise groaned in pain as blood dripped from his mouth.

'How can I not sense any of her movement?'

Such a thought flashed in his mind, but he knew this was also an opportunity since Wang Ju was so close. He moved his left hand to capture her daggers.

Demonraise's plan was to hold onto them to render her immobile while he attacked swiftly with his right hand. However, as soon as his body moved, he discovered he could not control them as easily as before.

He felt something was wrong and used his Divine Sense to check inside and discover the source of the anomaly. Wang Ju's blades contained this weird poison or curse that made his cells attack each other.

His immune system suddenly became his enemy. Demonraise swiftly took control of his cells, but it was to no avail. It was like they now had a will of their own and refused to obey him.

So, he had to forcefully make them obey. Alas, trying to control billions of cells took time, and Wang Ju was not going to give him any.

She suddenly disappeared and appeared before him. Her daggers pierced his heart and brain. Luckily, Demonraise had plenty of experience and a high Battle IQ.

Before the second dagger pierced his brain, he activated the Animal Hall and acquired the power of the Bighorn Sheep, making his skull harder than the Dao Weapon on her hand.

Regardless, his eviscerated heart soon became an issue. Since he is Di Tian's Shadow, he inherited the latter's mighty fleshly body. But, his vitality was slowly leaking out of his body without a heart. The situation was exacerbated by the cells of his control.

'Her Duyi Realm is so concentrated,' Demonraise had to divide his mind into three. He had to be careful of Wang Ju's movement, fighting his out-of-control cells and trying to remove her Duyi Realm from his body so he could regenerate.

'His ability is annoying,' thought Wang Ju after he felt like stabbing the latter's head. 'Let's eliminate it.'

She activated the power of her dagger to the full extent of their abilities. Then, she appeared before him again and stabbed him. The moment Demonraise was about to react and counterattack, his demonized cells became even more overbearing as they attacked his brain and Nervous System.

As a cultivator, he can bypass control of his body by his brain as his soul takes over. However, the process takes a few nanoseconds to switch, and that's plenty of time for Wang Ju.

The leader of the Fate Shadow Guard knew her opponent had placed a lot of power to protect his brain. Although he would not die if it were destroyed, the passing of vitality will drastically be increased once these two primary organs–heart and brain–are no longer present.

The daggers took care of Demonraise's two lungs. However, this was not her main objective. The power of Samsara emanated from the dagger, and immediately, the Animal Hall was forcefully closed.

'My mind was so focused on other things that I neglected that she should also have control of Samsara Dao,' pondered Demonraise calmly as he used his ability to retain the already acquired animal powers.

'I can use that technique to deal with this situation. If that is the case, I should focus more on how she could teleport without noticing anything.'

Demonraise focused all his attention on Wang Ju, ignoring his body that was rapidly falling apart. Unfortunately, Wang Ju no longer needed to teleport since he was basically useless.
