Chapter 1263 1174: The Oil Is Exhausted, the Lamp Is Burnt Out

Seeing Wang Yan cough up blood and his aura grow weak, the Three Great Demon Venerables were all secretly overjoyed at the same time.

After all, Wang Yan was still only a Half-Venerable; to block the combined strike of the Three Great Demon Venerables without being killed already counted as no easy feat.

But with that mouthful of blood, Wang Yan himself was inwardly anxious.

Just now, while the Three Great Demon Venerables were jointly fighting over it, Wang Yan had forcibly driven the Chaos Bell.

Although he had blasted the Three Great Demon Venerables back, he himself also suffered the backlash; at this moment he was not only internally injured, but for a short time he could no longer drive the Chaos Bell again.

Their eyesight terrifying, the Three Great Demon Venerables understood Wang Yan's current injuries at a glance, and so the three slowly walked toward Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was anxious inside but kept his expression calm; seeing the Three Great Demon Venerables drawing closer, he flipped his hand to put away the Chaos Bell and slowly said, "Enough. Since that's the case, I'll let you see my true killing move."

Hearing Wang Yan say this, the Three Great Demon Venerables didn't pause in the slightest, still slowly walking toward him.

Because they already understood that with Wang Yan's current injuries, it was simply impossible for him to drive any powerful Magical Treasure.

If not for the mutual wariness between Venerable Ghost Valley and the other two, they'd probably have already rushed at Wang Yan at full speed.

Venerable Ghost Valley said with utter disdain, "Even if you've got some great treasure, I don't mind you taking it out. In any case, those treasures will end up being ours sooner or later."

Seeing the Three Great Demon Venerables getting closer and closer, a trace of grim resolve flashed in Wang Yan's eyes as he said coldly, "Then I'll let you see my Lifebound Skill."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, the Three Great Demon Venerables all froze, pausing slightly.

Because the three of them simultaneously felt a chill rise up their backs.

At this moment, heaven and earth suddenly dimmed, turning so dark you could hardly see your hand before your face.

In the darkness they only heard Wang Yan's icy voice ring out: "Sin Weighing Balance—using the mountain as fulcrum, the moon as scale, the heavens as arm—let us weigh how deep your sins run, how great your evil is."

Those cold, merciless words sounded to the Three Great Demon Venerables like the summons of a demon from Hell itself, nothing like the voice of a mere Half-Venerable.

The arrogance on the faces of the Three Great Demon Venerables instantly turned to horror; all three halted at once and stared around in panic.

Just then they saw a full moon rise on the distant horizon; under the moon's light, the Three Great Demon Venerables saw, not far from them, a towering peak standing straight before them.

"What the hell is this?" Venerable Zidan screamed in terror. The dim moonlight fell across his face, making him look even paler and more ghastly.

Venerable Ghost Valley gritted his teeth and said, "What's there to fear? He's just a trifling Half-Venerable. Charge!"

Hearing Venerable Ghost Valley's words, Venerable Zidan and Venerable Fuqing could only steel their nerves; the three prepared to charge forward together.

But the moment they moved, all three felt as if their legs had been filled with lead, utterly unable to take a step.

Just as they still hadn't figured out what was going on, they saw the distant full moon slowly sink, half its body disappearing behind the tall peak.

As the full moon sank, the entire dark sky tilted toward the back of the peak.

The bodies of Venerable Ghost Valley and the others were involuntarily lifted, rising toward the heavens.

The three struggled desperately, wanting to escape to the faraway ground.

But no matter how they exerted themselves, they simply couldn't break free of that invisible shackle; it was as if they were trapped inside an unseen cage.

At this moment, Wang Yan's icy voice echoed again in the darkness: "The three of you are greedy by nature and kill as if it were breathing. Your sins are unforgivable. You deserve death."

The instant those two words "deserve death" were spoken, the three felt as though their bodies were about to be torn apart, their three souls and seven spirits about to be ripped out.

Only now did true terror seize Venerable Ghost Valley and the others.

"We can't sit here waiting to die—we have to break out!" Venerable Ghost Valley shouted.

"But this brat's methods are too bizarre, we simply can't get out," Venerable Fuqing was almost in tears.

"Even if his Soul Skill is strong, he's still only a Half-Venerable. As long as the three of us join forces, we'll definitely be able to fight our way out!" Venerable Ghost Valley shouted again.

Hearing Venerable Ghost Valley, Venerable Zidan and Venerable Fuqing snapped out of it at the same time.

After all, cultivation was what decided everything; no matter how strong Wang Yan's Soul Skill was, he could not truly contend with all Three Great Demon Venerables at once.

Facing death, the three finally cast aside their mutual hostility and decided to join forces to escape.

They saw Venerable Ghost Valley draw his long blade, Venerable Zidan take out a massive hammer, and Venerable Fuqing wrap her long sleeves around her hands.

The Three Great Demon Venerables simultaneously brought out their strongest Magical Treasures, and all three weapons struck the ground beneath their feet at once.

There had been nothing under their feet, but with their blows landing, the entire space shook under the force of their attacks, the very fabric of space beginning to twist.

Amid that twisting space, the faint outline of a gigantic balance scale appeared.

This balance used the heavens as its arm, the moon as its pan, the mountain as its pivot; and beneath their feet, the "plate" that held them aloft was shockingly formed by the entire expanse of earth, which had lifted the three high into the sky.

Seeing such a colossal balance, with even heaven and earth themselves employed by Wang Yan, the three were instantly stricken with terror, truly realizing only now how unfathomable this Half-Venerable before them was.

However, now that they had seen the true form of this Lifebound Skill, the three also saw a glimmer of hope.

"Attack the ground beneath us with everything you've got!" Venerable Ghost Valley shouted.

The three didn't dare be negligent and launched their attacks together. One after another, powerful strikes slammed down onto the earth beneath them with thunderous booms.

A Demon Venerable Strike was already incomparably powerful; the combined assault of the Three Great Demon Venerables shook heaven and earth.

The whole world seemed to tremble beneath that enormous power, and the entire balance began to lose its stability.

Suddenly, with a resounding crash, the balance finally collapsed.

The three immediately plummeted from midair, but having already exhausted their strength, they were unable to control their bodies.

As they fell, their faces were toward the ground, smashing hard into the earth.

"Pa-pa-pa—" Three sharp cracks sounded as the Three Great Demon Venerables landed like three mangy dogs, wretched and sprawling.

As the balance shattered, the darkness vanished in an instant, revealing clear skies once more; the towering mountain and full moon from before had also disappeared.

Venerable Ghost Valley and the other two shakily climbed to their feet; it truly felt as if they had just taken a trip to the Ghost Gate itself, and even now they were still filled with lingering dread.

Turning their heads to the side, they saw Wang Yan at this moment deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper with no trace of blood, half-kneeling on the ground, one fist braced against the earth, barely keeping himself from collapsing, his aura already weakened to the extreme.

After all, Wang Yan had tried, with the strength of one man, to kill the Three Great Demon Venerables—that in itself was using the small to challenge the great.

And when the Three Great Demon Venerables broke free, Wang Yan suffered a further backlash; now, with injury piled upon injury, he had reached the state of a lamp running out of oil.

At this moment, let alone the Three Great Demon Venerables—even a mere Demon Warrior taking a step forward would be enough to send Wang Yan to his death.
