The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 167: Chapter 155-156: Tell This Palace, Your Secret

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

One by one, ancient trees fell amidst the violent barrage.

The earth trembled!

Boulders shattered and craters appeared!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of metallic impacts echoed without end.

The palace-robed woman was inwardly shaken. Up to this point in the fight, the endurance of this fake lion before her had far surpassed her imagination.

’What on earth are its origins!?’

Her own physique was formidable, but in a direct comparison, she was actually a hair inferior.

It wasn’t apparent at first, but now, she had clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position.

SHING!

A giant golden claw shot out, carrying with it an endless might.

The palace-robed woman had just blocked the previous strike and had no time to evade.

Left with no choice, she could only unleash a burst of Demon Power to blast it away.

The instant her Demon Power flared, the palace-robed woman’s face went white.

In that brief instant, the Power of Restriction within her body had once again eroded some of her Demon Power.

Xu Chang’an, in the heat of battle, keenly observed this.

Apparently, her injury was no ordinary one; every time she used her Demon Power, it only grew worse.

’An opportunity!’

Xu Chang’an had found his chance at survival.

His attacks grew even more ferocious!

CLANG!

During another clash, the palace-robed woman tried to use the same trick again and unleash her Demon Power.

Xu Chang’an didn’t dodge or evade, choosing to face the burst of Demon Power head-on.

BOOM!

The immense power blasted through Xu Chang’an’s chest, leaving a gaping wound.

In an instant, blood sprayed everywhere!

From this single blow, he was already grievously wounded!

And yet, Xu Chang’an didn’t get angry. He laughed.

Because...

The moment her Demon Power erupted, she had revealed an opening.

And he had seized that fleeting opportunity.

"Die!"

ROAR!

With a furious roar, Xu Chang’an opened his gaping, bloody maw, intending to devour the woman whole.

The situation was dire!

The palace-robed woman dared not hold back any longer. Her Demon Power erupted from her entire body as she unleashed a Magic spell.

A crimson rainbow shot toward Xu Chang’an.

Having fought for so long, Xu Chang’an was prepared for this.

HUMMM!

A halo of light swirled around him.

Xu Chang’an’s body began to shrink rapidly, until he was much smaller than the palace-robed woman.

He was the size of a house cat!

By shrinking, Xu Chang’an avoided most of the Magic’s power.

The fraction of the power that did strike him instantly vaporized his golden fur, leaving his entire body glowing red.

The palace-robed woman’s assault wasn’t over. She was about to cast another Magic spell.

But she had only just begun when she stopped abruptly, stunned.

PTUI!

The palace-robed woman violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She could no longer suppress her internal injuries!

The Power of Restriction began to surge wildly, eroding the Demon Power within her.

’A perfect chance!’

Xu Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

He lunged and bit down on the palace-robed woman’s shoulder.

The palace-robed woman tried to dodge, but her injuries and the Power of Restriction made her reactions a step too slow.

She barely managed to move.

In that split second, Xu Chang’an’s bite landed on the palace-robed woman’s chest.

His teeth were as sharp as a Quasi-Magical Treasure.

They pierced right through her skin, sinking deep.

At the same time, he swung his claws, intending to strike, but the woman, recovering, managed to block them.

Blood trickled from the wound. Xu Chang’an didn’t dare loosen his jaw in the slightest, biting down with all his might.

If he failed now, he would be the one to die!

’At a moment of life and death, how could I possibly hold back!?’

His eyes were bloodshot. Xu Chang’an put every last ounce of his strength into this bite!

The palace-robed woman’s beautiful eyes overflowed with Evil Qi.

The erosion from the Power of Restriction, the relapse of her old injuries... even the pain in her chest was nothing to her!

But this situation left her completely on the defensive!

Unless... she was willing to give up on the opportunities within the Secret Realm.

She could let the Power of Restriction run its course, ignore the consequences, and unleash her Demon Power to kill this fake lion on the spot!

The palace-robed woman’s blood flowed into Xu Chang’an’s mouth.

Xu Chang’an felt a warm current surge through his body, coursing through him.

Hm!?

’This feeling!?’

A jolt went through Xu Chang’an’s mind.

He focused his mind, and saw the numbers on his panel changing frantically!

points!

points!

points!

...

It seemed the palace-robed woman’s blood contained Energy that his panel could absorb!

points!

In just a brief moment, the accumulated Energy had reached 200 points.

And it was still accumulating at an incredible speed!

points!

points!

This!

’A windfall!’

’A heaven-sent windfall!’

Faced with this incredible windfall, Xu Chang’an suppressed his excitement.

He remained calm, not daring to relax in the slightest!

The palace-robed woman had been ready to ignore the consequences, unleash her Demon Power, and kill this fake lion on the spot. But then, she suddenly noticed something.

The Power of Restriction that had been constantly eroding her Demon Power seemed to be gradually weakening.

The change was almost imperceptible, but it was weakening, without a doubt!

’This fake lion...’

A trace of confusion flickered in the palace-robed woman’s beautiful eyes.

This Power of Restriction came from within the Secret Realm. It was like maggots clinging to bone; she had exhausted all her methods and couldn’t get rid of a single trace.

But now, it was actually weakening!

’It’s because of this fake lion!’

The palace-robed woman came to an instant conclusion.

Compared to her current predicament, the opportunities within the Secret Realm were obviously more important!

Besides, if the Power of Restriction in her body were completely removed, she could unleash her Demon Power without any restraint.

She could crush this fake lion before her with a single hand!

points!

Her blood continued to flow, and the Energy it contained was continuously absorbed by the panel.

Xu Chang’an and the palace-robed woman were each lost in their own thoughts.

And so, the two of them entered a stalemate.

Time slowly passed.

The flow of blood from the wound on the palace-robed woman’s chest gradually slowed to a trickle.

As the bleeding subsided, the speed at which the panel accumulated Energy also began to slow.
