Upon seeing the situation unfold, the three of them were taken aback, instinctively halting their actions and vigilantly observing the demonic body.

It wasn't a case of being overly cautious; the strength of the demonic body was just too formidable, capable of easily wiping them out if it were to wake.

Upon hearing the groans of the demonic body, they immediately stopped their actions and watched it with caution and wariness.

Luckily, the demonic body was only moaning because it was discomforted from the excessive bloodletting, not because it had genuinely awakened.

The three of them took a deep breath, only then able to ease their tense nerves.

"That was terrifying."

Lowering his voice, Wang Tong greeted Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan, "Do we want to call it quits? If it wakes up, none of us will escape."

It was a safe proposal.

However, upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Leaving now would be such a waste. The demonic body had been significantly weakened by the bloodletting; given a bit more time, they might be able to drain it to death.

If they were to give up now and turn their backs, the demonic body would definitely recover.

Once recovered, it would inevitably pursue and kill them.

Thinking about being hunted by such a powerful demonic body, Xiao Mu couldn't help but shudder.

Their opponent was too strong, if given the chance, it could effortlessly kill them. He couldn't help but cast a glance towards Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan possessed the Detective Eyes, she might uncover something new.

Zhao Yan, guessing Xiao Mu's thoughts, took a deep look at the demonic body and drew a conclusion, "Judging from its wounds, it won't wake up anytime soon. We should have about five minutes. If we speed up a little, it might just work."

By 'might work,' she was referring to the method of weakening the demonic body or draining it to death through bloodletting.

"Let's speed up then."

Without hesitation, Xiao Mu made his decision.

Wang Tong initially insisted on leaving, but hearing this, he begrudgingly said, "Fine, if we die, we die together. Since you guys are intent on staying, I have no choice but to stay with you."

Immediately, he resumed bloodletting the demonic body, wielding the Invisible Air Sword to cut open one wound after another.

Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan, together with Ghost Servant, continued to collect the blood in various containers. After filling them up, they handed them over to Xiao Mu to store in the Earth Seal Space.

This time, the three of them clearly increased their speed. Furthermore, perhaps due to the excessive bloodletting, the demonic body's strength had begun to decrease. When Wang Tong continued to cut open wounds with the Invisible Air Sword, it suddenly became much easier.

"It seems much easier."

Wang Tong murmured to himself. He could clearly sense that, as the bloodletting continued, the demonic body was no longer as formidable as before. Now it was easy to cut it open with the Invisible Air Sword, and once cut open, the regeneration of the demonic body was visibly slower.

"Look!"

Both shocked and joyful, Zhao Yan suddenly nudged Xiao Mu, urging him to look at the demonic body.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu took a look at the demonic body and his reaction mirrored Zhao Yan's.

At this point, the demonic body was nowhere near its original state, having been excessively drained of blood, it had nearly turned into a mummy, its entire body shrivelled.

Simultaneously, the aura of the demonic body had diminished significantly, no longer evoking fear in Xiao Mu and the others as before.

"Its strength has decreased."

Xiao Mu cheerfully remarked.

It wasn't simply a matter of reduced strength; the demonic body's strength had been greatly diminished, no longer posing a threat to Xiao Mu and the others.

"Let's see how much it's weakened!"

Upon saying this, Wang Tong abruptly struck the demonic body with the Invisible Air Sword.

Shh!

The Invisible Air Sword pierced through the body, instantly leaving a noticeable wound on the demonic body and causing blood to flow out.

At this point, having lost too much blood, even the color of its blood had changed. It was no longer the eerie red it had been previously. The color was now lightened.

"Hmm...hmph!"

Evidently feeling uncomfortable, the demonic body was pierced by Wang Tong using the Invisible Air Sword. Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, it suddenly opened its eyes.

"You...you..."

Coming to its senses, the demonic body immediately noted the anomaly. After looking over at Xiao Mu and the others, its face immediately displayed an expression of ferocity. Following that, it stretched out its sharp claws and immediately took a swipe at Wang Tong, who was closest to it.

A thick killing intent filled the air, the demonic body was clearly ready to kill on sight.

Instinctively, Wang Tong launched the Thunder Shock Palm, pushing outwards and blocking the demonic body's sharp claws before hastily retreating.

Boom!

The Thunder Shock Palm, infused with complete internal force, clashed with the demonic body's sharp claw, resulting in an explosive strike. Not only was the claw sent retreating, but the remaining force also caused the demonic body's entire form to sink into the earth by a few inches.

Meanwhile, Wang Tong had obviously been startled by the attack from the demonic body. He quickly retreated after unleashing the Thunder Shock Palm.

Including Xiao Mu and Zhao Yan, they were all shocked to see the demonic body awakened.

Seeing the demonic body launch an attack on Wang Tong, both of them simultaneously sprang into action in an attempt to help Wang Tong counteract the blow. But before they could even land their blows, the spectacle before them left them stupefied.

Next...

"Haha!"

All three of them couldn't help but let out a laugh of relief. As a result of excessive bloodletting, the demonic body's strength had been greatly reduced and it was no longer a match for even Wang Tong.

"You...you..."

Having been easily repelled by Wang Tong with a full-force blow, to the point where even its body sustained injuries, the demonic body was clearly startled, exclaiming with horror, "What did you do to me?! Why has my strength decreased so drastically?!"

"What did we do, you ask?"

Wang Tong, wearing a smile on his face, looked towards the demonic body and mockingly replied, "Well, demon, weren't you going to kill us? Go ahead!"

"You...all of you shall die!"

The demonic body was instantly enraged. After all, it was a formidable being far surpassing Xiao Mu and the others. Even though its strength had diminished, it couldn't tolerate being taunted and belittled by beings of much lower status than itself.

In its present rage, it launched yet another attack towards Wang Tong, both of its clawed hands slashing out simultaneously.

"Haha!"

With a simple palm strike from Wang Tong, the demonic body's attack was blocked, and the remaining force from the palm strike once again made it collapse into the mud.

"Stop it, Wang Tong. Don't bother with it anymore."

Xiao Mu stopped Wang Tong then turned towards the demonic body, "Now, you're no longer a match for us. I have a few questions that I'd like to ask you. It's in your best interest to answer honestly."

"Impudent!"

The demonic body glared at Xiao Mu with a livid face, "Do you think that just because my strength decreased, I'll allow you to manipulate me? Dream on!"

"Even if I die, someone will avenge me."

As it spoke, its face suddenly grew darker, its entire body emitting a peculiar brilliance. An aura of destruction from within its body began to rapidly condense..

"Be careful!"

Sensing this, Xiao Mu's face slightly changed. He hastily called for Zhao Yan and Wang Tong to retreat.
