Demure was truly enraged. His plan was going smoothly, but now, everything was ruined because Karshias was killed. How would he explain this to his emperor? Just imagining the consequence was already giving him a shudder.
"You have really done it... You have... Truly done it this time..." Demure's shaking shoulders was enough to determine that he was angered, incensed filled with millions of grievances. As his bloodshot eyes looked at Jin Rou, he spoke once again, "If I don't tear you two to shreds, this feelings of mine will never be gone!"
"Looks like he is about to go all out and kill us." Jin Rou wryly smiled. He already expected this. After all, he caused a great disturbance in their plans and it was natural that the devil would be this infuriated.
"..." Syni Su didn't know what to say about his comment. She just sighed gently and looked at the back of the man. Although Jin Rou said those words, she was very sure that Jin Rou would still have something up his sleeve amidst of his extreme exhaustion. He wouldn't let her die helplessly here. After all, he used his last means to save her.
"Boom!" Demure's body turned into a red figure with thorns on his back. He was like a blazing fire amidst of a stormy sea, capable of tearing the heavens in two. Not just that, he was also giving off a very dangerous aura that could suffocate all the living beings.
"Using his essence blood like this, he is sure not want to waste it." Jin Rou commented silently. Demure had used his essence blood to transform himself, and give him a terrifying boost of power. With this method, his essence blood wouldn't have gone to waste.
Not to mention, the devil was also using his blood to gather the dao of this arena. The Judgement Arena should have been completed its mission if Karshias was still alive. But now that Karshias was gone, this domain was utterly useless except its dao. So he wanted to suck it dry to fill even a bit of the profit.
"Syni, be sure that you stay behind me. Unless I tell you to do something, just stay put. You got me?" Jin Rou fronted the lady and spoke with a serious and grave tone, "I'm going to do something about this. So don't worry."
Syni Su nodded. She knew the severity of this situation thus she wasn't going to pull him down.
Jin Rou was planning to use his very blood in exchange of power. He was going to exhaust a volume of it in order to contend against Demure. After all, the latter's power had increased by several times and it would be impossible to defeat him by just his power level right now.
Of course, he knew and was aware of the consequences of using his blood to boost his power. But he wasn't willing to standby and watch them being killed. If there was a way, then he would grit his teeth and march forward.
Since he already saved the lady, might as well do it until the end. At the end of the day, he couldn't let himself watch Syni Su dying here. At first, he particularly didn't care about her. She might be his childhood friend in consideration, but it was all a matter in the past.
But now, he could feel some sort of connection and feelings of wanting to save this damsel in distress, he as the knight in shining armor. Perhaps, it was because of Syni Su's selfless words a while ago that triggered this. Who knows? Only him knew the answer in his heart.
"Are you ready to die?" Demure's cold voice entered their ears. He was really going to kill them now, "Be sure to have said your good byes properly to each other because it will be the last time you can talk."
"You keep on barking like a dog. Just come at me and try to do it." Jin Rou provoked the devil, "Show us if you can really do what you're saying."
"Sure." Demure instantly disappeared from Jin Rou's sight and appeared in front of him. Demure gave a hard kick towards Jin Rou's neck but the latter immediately used his arm as his shield.
"Bam!" Jin Rou was thrown away to the wall, leaving web of cracks.
Demure didn't stop there and immediately released a thorn from his back. He then hold it like throwing spear and threw it towards Jin Rou.
"Whoosh! Bang!" The thorn crossed the void in a split of second and was threatening to kill its enemy!
"Form!" Jin Rou shouted and created stockpiled defensive formations in the appearance of paper. It looked like an ancient book that had the knowledge of all daos of the universe.
"Boom!" The thorn clashed with the defensive formation and gave a loud explosion. It was very ear piercing as rubbles was thrown in all directions.
"Do you really think that it is enough to stop my thorn?!" Demure shouted, "Keep dreaming, because you will die eventually right here and right now!"
"Crack! Crack!" The papers gave a cracking sound as it was slowly being destroyed by the thorn.
"!" Jin Rou was alarmed by this. His formation was being defeated like this! He wanted to move to evade the thorn on time. However, he was too weak that his muscles wasn't moving even a bit.
"Looks like I really need to do this..." Jin Rou sighed in despair. He still had a chance of winning, but using his pure blood would gave him a severe consequence. Then, he circulated his blood rapidly to form a force. It all happened in just a matter of seconds.
"Just die already!" The devil howled and wanted to see Jin Rou's body getting impaled. Thus, he added force to the thorn.
"Boom!" However, just when everything was going smoothly once again on the devil's end, a hand suddenly appeared and held the thorn like it was its pet. Then, the hand crumpled the thorn into smithereens leaving everyone in surprise.
