Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 299: How Could the Demon Clan Have a Coward Like You?

Shen Mo glanced at the Ninth Prince and said flatly, "Come down and meet your death."

The Ninth Prince's fury erupted instantly, his golden mane standing on end like steel needles.

He hadn't expected that despite bringing along four Lion Demon Kings, he would have to step in personally. It was utterly humiliating!

Suppressing his anger, the Ninth Prince said coldly, "Indeed, you live up to the reputation of being a peerless genius, praised even by my royal father. You do have some skill."

"You should feel honored that I, the prince, am lowering myself to fight you personally."

Shen Mo's expression remained indifferent. "To be personally killed by me, you should feel honored."

The Ninth Prince's gaze turned savage.

He had always held himself in high esteem.

Aside from the First and Fourth Princes, none of the other princes or demon kings even registered in his eyes. Shen Mo's words had thoroughly infuriated him!

The two locked eyes.

The next moment, the Ninth Prince shot forward like a golden bolt of lightning.

Blood energy surged violently, condensing suddenly into nine blood-red spears.

Each spear was over twenty zhang (approximately 66 meters) in length, surrounded by faint, wailing souls.

The eerie cries caused a sharp pain in one's head, making it hard to focus mentally.

"The Soul-Destroying Blood Spears! That's the Ninth Prince's signature technique!"

"His Highness is sure to severely wound Shen Mo in one strike and avenge the four Lion Demon Kings!"

"Your Highness, kill him! Kill him now!"

The gathered Lion Demon captains and generals roared in excitement.

They hadn't expected to witness the Ninth Prince use this legendary move firsthand.

"Weak."

Shen Mo spoke calmly as he slowly raised his hand.

Boom!

Red flames roared to life, instantly forming a flaming blade over twenty zhang long.

As the nine blood spears approached, Shen Mo's red flaming blade slashed downward.

It was the second form of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique!

Boom!

Blood energy and flames collided in mid-air, intertwining, clashing, and obliterating each other.

The blood spears shattered one after another, disintegrating into blood energy that dissipated in the air.

The Ninth Prince's pupils contracted sharply when he realized his blood spears had been destroyed so effortlessly.

"Damn it... this Shen Mo truly has some ability."

He gritted his teeth and, without hesitation, gathered even more blood energy.

Before the remaining fragments of the blood spears could fully disperse, he condensed a single, larger spear.

This spear exceeded forty zhang in length, with a girth requiring ten men to encircle.

The surface of the blood spear was intricately detailed, as if it contained countless innocent souls who had perished.

Around it echoed ghastly wails, like a demonic melody piercing into the mind and threatening to tear one's spirit apart.

"Such a massive and lifelike Soul-Destroying Blood Spear!"

"It seems His Highness has mastered this technique to an extraordinary level. Truly the most gifted among the royal princes!"

"I've heard that the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear grows stronger with more kills, accumulating vengeful souls. His Highness has slain countless enemies, so this spear must be terrifyingly powerful. Look at Shen Mo; he's already standing still, clearly paralyzed by the vengeful souls!"

"With this move, Shen Mo won't be able to block it. He's surely doomed!"

The Lion Demon crowd erupted in excited discussion, as if Shen Mo's death was already certain.

The Ninth Prince let out a sinister laugh. "Do you feel it? The terror of both your body and soul being under attack?"

The next moment, his expression twisted into a savage snarl. "I take back my earlier words. You killed four of my Lion Demon Kings. I will tear you to pieces!"

Shen Mo's expression remained calm.

In such a situation, using the Great Desolation Starfall, which required lengthy preparation, was clearly unsuitable.

The best choice was still the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique.

"I haven't mastered the third form of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique for long, but it's enough to kill you."

Shen Mo suddenly unleashed his spiritual energy.

The Red Lotus Flame surged out from his shoulder blades, forming a pair of immense flaming wings.

The wings spanned twenty zhang each.

As they unfolded, they completely obscured the sky.

Only fire wings are seen, but no sun is in sight!

"My heavens... what kind of martial technique is that?"

"What immense power! This must be a Heaven-tier martial art!"

"It looks somewhat like the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique, but it's unlike any move the Young Sect Master has ever used before!"

Wei Xiongtie, Mo Hanshan, and others couldn't help but discuss among themselves, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Fire Feathers, go!"

Shen Mo raised his finger, looking at the Ninth Prince.

Behind him, the pair of twenty-zhang-long flaming wings instantly expanded.

Countless fiery feathers shot toward the Ninth Prince like a storm.

They looked like countless palm-sized firebirds darting through the sky.

This was the third form of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique—Fire Feathers!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Explosions echoed continuously in mid-air.

The fire feathers moved with incredible speed.

One moment they were behind Shen Mo.

The next, they were already in front of the Ninth Prince, descending in waves.

The Ninth Prince's pupils shrank. He had already sensed the terrifying power of this move.

But now, there was no retreat.

His only option was to face it head-on, using his Soul-Destroying Blood Spear to pierce through the fiery feathers filling the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The endless stream of fire feathers collided fiercely with the surface of the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear.

The spear's forward momentum slowed immediately.

The deafening explosions continued without pause.

The sky seemed to be engulfed by flames!

At first, the Soul-Destroying Blood Spear still advanced.

But soon, its speed decreased rapidly.

Finally, it was as if the spear had been frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

The blood energy surrounding the spear dissipated rapidly.

Each fire feather striking the spear drained a portion of its blood energy.

As countless fire feathers descended, the spear's size shrank at an alarming rate.

In just a dozen breaths, the spear had been reduced from over forty zhang to merely twenty zhang.

And it didn't stop there.

The excess fire feathers rained down toward the ground, targeting the ten thousand Lion Demons below.

Cries of agony erupted as the Lion Demons scattered like frightened animals.

Every fire feather that landed claimed the lives of numerous Lion Demons.

Even the Lion Demon captains couldn't withstand a single strike.

This scene struck terror into the Ninth Prince's heart.

This was his trump card, his most powerful technique.

And yet, he had still lost to Shen Mo.

"My blood energy..."

Sensing the meager amount of blood energy left in his body, the Ninth Prince gritted his teeth in frustration.

Continuing the fight was no longer an option.

His blood energy was insufficient to sustain further battle.

There was only one path left.

Escape!

"Shen Mo, I'll take you down with me!"

The Ninth Prince roared, pretending to channel his remaining blood energy for a desperate attack.

Shen Mo's expression remained unchanged.

He had already predicted the Ninth Prince's next move.

Sure enough.

The very next moment, the Ninth Prince suddenly turned and bolted at full speed!

He didn't spare a single glance for the surviving Lion Demons on the ground.

"Your Highness, Ninth Prince!"

"Don't abandon us!"

"Ninth Prince! Ninth Prince! How could the demon clan produce a coward like you?"

The Lion Demons cried out in despair.

They could never have imagined that the Ninth Prince, whom they had once revered and worshipped, would abandon them and flee to save himself!

This scene left Nangong Yun, Ouyang Wei, and the others utterly stunned.

The Ninth Prince had fled!
