With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

huh~~

Zhao Yao, accompanied by a black cloud, traced an arc in the air and landed precisely at the Ascension Pool in the center of the Mountain Demon Village.

puff~

The pool water exploded, and he, along with the black cloud formed by Song Angran, fell into the Ascension Pool.

hiss hiss hiss~

As soon as it sank into the pool, plumes of white smoke from the corrosion rose up!

However, this time it was the black cloud that Song Angran had transformed into that was corrupted.

"Gurgle~ Ugh—"

"Oh no, how did I suddenly end up in the Ascension Pool?"

The dark clouds were eroded by the water of the Ascension Pool. Song Angran's face was contorted in pain, and his screams were muffled by the water. His mind was instantly freed from the demonic influence.

puff~

The Ascension Water caused him immense damage, and he could no longer maintain his Demon Cloud form, reverting back to his human-frog appearance.

He sank into the water, his skin riddled with countless holes from erosion. He struggled to swim out of the Ascension Pool, moving his arms and legs with all his might.

A hand suddenly reached out from below and firmly grabbed Song Angran's ankle.

"Come down with me!"

Zhao Yao held onto him, and no matter how hard he struggled and kicked his legs, he still dragged him down towards a brightly lit world below.

In the village of mountain demons, outside the Ascension Pool, Yan Rouyun appeared.

Ignoring the danger of the rising water, she hurried forward, looking anxiously at the pool.

……

The lower realm of barren rocks.

noon.

In the Shanyang tribe, people came to the flat square, chatting and working. Suddenly, someone stood up and looked up at the sky.

"What is that?"

A gigantic humanoid figure descended from the sky with a deafening roar, heading straight for this place, drawing the people of the Shanyang tribe to gather here, all looking up and discussing.

"Oh no, run!"

In the square, the people of the Shanyang tribe looked at the giant falling from the sky with expressions of horror.

Fortunately, the giant in black jade armor did not fall towards the Shanyang tribe, but instead crashed among the mountains.

Rumble~

The mountaintop collapsed, the rocky hillside tilted, and the earth shook violently.

A halo of sunlight hovered behind his head. The giant in black jade armor steadied himself in time, grabbed a nearby rocky hill, bent his knees slightly, and landed successfully.

He glanced down, and his body began to shrink rapidly.

Beside a small, large pit at the base of the mountain, Zhao Yao appeared, a halo of sunlight hovering behind his head, clad in black jade armor, his body radiating a shimmering white jade glow.

He glanced into the pit.

In the deep pit, a hideous human-frog, its skin and flesh gone, its body riddled with holes, and its hair thinning, struggled to its feet and looked up at Zhao Yao at the edge of the pit.

Song Angran forced a smile at Zhao Yao, took a breath, and said in a calm tone:

"Hey~ Looking at you, you're really lucky, a god... Is this the world you descended to before?"

In the lower realm, gods are gods, and faith in their divine power makes them virtually omnipotent.

At this moment, Song Angran had already foreseen his fate.

"Even so, if you want to kill me, you will definitely have to expend a lot of energy yourself."

How about this, what do you want? I'll give you all my assets in the Upper Realm!

As for martial arts, whatever you want to learn, I'll teach you! And I can guarantee that I will never leave this world and will become your most loyal servant…”

Song Angran spoke quickly, his voice filled with pleading, as he swore an oath to Zhao Yao.

A sun wheel floated behind Zhao Yao's head, radiating light. He just stared at him quietly, shaking his head without saying a word.

"Don't do this. I know how rude I was to you before... Look at me now, how pathetic I am. You could easily imprison me and humiliate me a thousand times over..."

With tears streaming down his face, Song Angran pointed to his flesh, which was riddled with holes, desperately trying to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Zhao Yao glanced at the jade chess set, and some more divine power of faith appeared within it, accumulating to fill a layer of flame, and it was still accumulating.

He hadn't made any move just now because he was silently drawing divine power from the statue of the Shanyang tribe.

"Divine power unleashed, demonic allure!"

He looked at Song Angran, his eyes turning a deep black with a golden edge, and used his Enchanting Charm once again.

Song Angran stared blankly for a moment, then his expression changed as he looked at Zhao Yao on the edge of the pit, his eyes filled with boundless admiration.

really!

Faith in divine power, like magic, possesses incredible strength; it can be used as energy to activate demonic talismans.

"Song Angran, I command you to corrupt me with your demonic power!"

Zhao Yao opened his mouth and gave the order.

"OK."

Song Angran nodded in agreement, his dark eyes looking back into Zhao Yao's eyes. He immediately activated the demonic power within him, spreading it out and corrupting Zhao Yao's body.

Zhao Yao sensed the demonic power invading his body. Before any distracting thoughts could arise, he activated the vortex within the Jade Chess set to immediately absorb the incoming demonic power.

"you……"

As Song Angran felt the primal demonic power within him disappear and he broke free from the demonic effect, his expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to say something, he was struck again.

"Bewitching!"

Zhao Yao's eyes turned golden as he looked at Song Angran again.

This time, he did not use divine power to activate the demon, but instead used divine power to directly simulate the demon's effect.

Upon comparison, he found that the simulation was successful, but the consumption of divine power was much greater than that of directly using it as energy to power the demonic talisman.

Song Angran was stunned, his expression changed in an instant, and his gaze toward Zhao Yao suddenly became extremely fervent.

"God! I've seen you, God..."

"Song Angran, I command you to corrupt me with your demonic power!"

Ignoring Song Angran's kneeling and desperate kowtowing, Zhao Yao gave the order again.

"Yes, sir!"

Song Angran knelt on one knee, looked up at Zhao Yao without hesitation, and activated the Demonic Infection.

This time, Zhao Yao immediately stored away the magic power, and before Song Angran could regain consciousness, he once again used divine power as magic power to activate the demonic talisman.

"Bewitching!"

He looked at Song Angran with his dark, gold-rimmed eyes and said:

"Song Angran, I command you to corrupt me with your demonic power!"

"Yes, my God."

……

"Song Angran, I command you to corrupt me with your demonic power!"

"Yes……"

Then came one spell after another of enchantment and corruption.

Zhao Yao quickly gathered magic power. In the Jade Chess, after ten spells of magic, a layer of flame was rapidly filled with magic power.

As Song Angran in the pit dried up his magic power, his demonic nature also completely disappeared.

"What...what did you do to me?"

Song Angran regained consciousness, feeling the weakness and pain in his body, and his face turned pale.

The incredible power of the demon recedes, but the damage it caused reappears.

He became a mortal again, a dying mortal.

"You dared to steal my power, shameless..."

In the deep pit, Song Angran pointed at Zhao Yao with trembling hands, his heart filled with extreme anger.

"Miracle Technique: Seduction!"

On the surface, he was extremely angry, but in secret, he was expending his vital energy to secretly use a strange technique, wanting to make one last desperate attempt.

Zhao Yao ignored him and, before the strange fragrance could reach him, flew up and left the place.

Seeing him leave, Song Angran was puzzled, stopped his magical technique, and began to climb out of the pit.

Outside the pit, Zhao Yao hovered in the air, using his divine power to remotely extract various images from Song Angran's body after he arrived at the Mountain Demon Village.

Before his eyes, the phantom of divine power flickered frequently, and the scene of Song Angran searching for the previous year on the desolate rock mountain, as well as the scene of him killing many villagers who had been corrupted by demons, all appeared quickly.

He did indeed kill many villagers!

There's no need to look any further.

Zhao Yao stopped watching the scene and looked at Song Angran, who had just crawled out of the pit.

swoosh~

puff~

He raised his hand and sent a piece of rock, imbued with divine power and incredibly hard, flying straight towards Song Angran, instantly shattering his skull.

"you……"

In an instant, red and white liquid flowed all over the ground. Song Angran, with his head completely empty, stood there and swayed for a moment. He looked up at Zhao Yao, uttered his last word, his eyes filled with despair, and fell heavily backward, dead beyond dead.
