“Aww—”
The demon general let out a shrill scream, its huge body shook violently, and black blood spurted out like a fountain.
“Now!”
David shouted, and at the same time threw the demon dragon inner core towards Hu Mazi, “Use the power of the inner core to activate the sealing rune array!”
Hu Mazi took out the inner herb and, following David’s instructions, placed it in the groove in the center of the altar. At the same time, he attached the talismans that had been drawn on the runes around the altar.
The power of the inner herb resonated with the talismans, causing the runes around the altar to light up again, emitting a dazzling light and forming a huge sealing shield that enveloped the demon general.
The demon struggled desperately, trying to break free from the seal, but the power of the seal grew stronger and trapped it tightly inside.
“No! I’m not reconciled yet!” The demon general roared in despair, his huge body gradually disappearing within the sealing barrier, turning into countless wisps of black mist that were absorbed by the barrier.
As the demon general disappeared, the vibrations in the underground palace gradually stopped, and the demon energy began to slowly dissipate.
They both breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
“We finally did it.”
Hu Mazi wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the altar, which had returned to calm. “We did it.”
David nodded, looking at the wound on his shoulder. Even though the black devil energy had been absorbed, the wound still stung.
“Youyue’s actions were truly vicious. She didn’t want us to take any treasures at all; she only wanted to use us to break the seal and free this demon general.”
“So what should we do now?”
Looking at the magic core on the altar, Hu Mazi asked, “Should we take this magic core?”
“Take it! Why won’t you take it?”
David stood up, walked to the altar, and took the demon core. “This demon core contains a large amount of demon energy. Although it cannot be used directly, it can probably be used to deal with Youyue. Moreover, we couldn’t have come this far for no reason.”
He carefully put away the magic core, then looked at the black long sword on the altar: “This sword is also a treasure. Although it is a demon sword, it is very powerful. Keeping it may be useful.”
Hu Mazi also stood up, walked to David’s side, looked at the wound on his shoulder, and frowned: “Your wound”
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”
David smiled and channeled his spiritual energy to heal his wounds. “Let’s leave here first; it’s not safe for us to stay any longer.”
The two returned along the same route and encountered no more danger along the way.
Three days later they came out of the pass and returned to the land of Mount Jiupan.
