The divine soul power on Patriarch Liang's body is less than thirty percent remaining. Seeing Yang Wu's body already withered due to excessive bloodletting, he decisively cancelled the "unending blood spray" effect.

A gleam flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, "Decapitate!"

The Demon-Breaking Saber in the hands of Patriarch Liang lifted, consuming all the remaining divine soul power. The saber fell as Yang Wu attempted to dodge, but the Demon-Breaking Saber continued to follow his neck.

Pchhh~ The Demon-Breaking Saber sliced open Yang Wu's throat, carving through half of his neck.

A look of madness appeared in Yang Wu's eyes as the Blood Refining Demon Fan behind him bent down, holding against the Demon-Breaking Saber about to cut through his neck bones.

Crack~ The bone handle of the Blood Refining Demon Fan snapped in two, exhausting the divine soul power of Patriarch Liang. The Demon-Breaking Saber halted beside Yang Wu's neck bones.

Yang Wu was left in fear, breathing heavily, as air moved in and out of the cut at his throat. Since a significant amount of blood had been drained earlier, the cut on his throat did not clog his trachea.

His breathing sounded like a dilapidated bellows, with a particularly loud and frightening noise of hoo-ha~ hoo-ha~.

"Hehe~" Yang Wu glanced at Lu Yu, intent on mocking that even with his puppet's power exhausted, Lu Yu couldn't kill him.

Suddenly, he realized Lu Yu had disappeared.

No, not disappeared. He strained to turn his neck and eyes, looking to the left where the Demon-Breaking Saber had cut into his neck.

"No... don't!" Yang Wu screamed in terror.

A streak of rainbow light flew toward him, dispersing as it neared. Lu Yu's flying kick landed on the Demon-Breaking Saber, slicing through Yang Wu's neck, severing his neck bone, and beheading him.

As Yang Wu saw the world spin, he saw the soles of his feet, "No! I can't die yet! I can't die!"

With all his might, he controlled the severely damaged Blood Refining Demon Fan. The blood-colored fan rapidly extended, pulling his severed head into the demon fan.

Before his head entered the demon fan, Yang Wu stared intently at Lu Yu, with a gaze that wished to flay Lu Yu, break his bones and extract his essence, tormenting his soul for a thousand years.

He wanted to speak, but hands emerged from the Blood Refining Demon Fan, pulling his head, with fingers gripping his mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears, dragging him inside, denying him the chance to speak.

Swish~ At the last moment, as he was entirely drawn into the Blood Refining Demon Fan, Yang Wu issued a final command to the demon fan, return to the Soul Refining Pool.

The Blood Refining Demon Fan turned into a streak of blood-red light and disappeared over the horizon; Lu Yu, unable to catch up.

Lu Yu gazed at the Blood Refining Demon Fan vanishing into the sky, somewhat resigned, not expecting that the life force of a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator was so tenacious, able to escape with just a head left.

Looking at the mutated body Yang Wu left behind, Lu Yu commanded Patriarch Liang to devour the Core Formation Realm expert's body.

Devouring is the most basic ability of a demonic heart, even those counterfeit demonic hearts in reality can achieve this, of course, the heart from a Demon General could do it too.

After Patriarch Liang devoured Yang Wu's remaining body, his power increased to the initial Core Formation Realm level, but unfortunately, he couldn't forge his own divine weapon or even use spiritual power autonomously.

In the future, Patriarch Liang's role will be more of a meat shield; giving a command from afar was no longer possible.

Lu Yu had no choice, it's the price of using the power of dark spirits. If Patriarch Liang didn't bear it, then Lu Yu would have to. So, of course, he chose to let Patriarch Liang endure this price.

"Master... Master, it's so good that you're alright. That man in black was really too strong, I almost died at his hands. Thanks to your great fortune, I barely managed to kill him."

Zhang Fan limped over, shouting with tears of gratitude, as if Lu Yu couldn't hear him otherwise.
