Really Want To Fight? Then Let’s Battle!
Several Demon Cultivators hovered above the Guest Hall.
Their Qi Dynamic locked onto those below, killing intent subtly present.
“Brother Hu, Xie Fei’s attitude is a bit too arrogant!”
A clear, cold female voice broke the silence, her tone laced with ridicule.
“Our group has arrived here personally, and waited for a while. You even stated your name, yet he has no response?
“Does he truly think himself a significant figure?”
The woman speaking appeared to be in her twenties, with a graceful figure and a curvy form.
A black, form-fitting demon robe outlined breathtaking curves.
She held a jet-black long whip in her hand.
The whip’s body was covered with fine scales, seemingly refined from the scales of some Sea Demon.
It trembled slightly in the wind, emitting a chilling aura.
A flash of inspiration flowed between the scales, faintly conveying the low growl of an artifact spirit.
This was actually a rare Treasure Artifact!
This whip, named “Black Scale Soul Devouring Whip,” possessed astonishing might; even True Inheritor Disciples of the Holy Land rarely possessed Magical Treasures of such a grade.
The fact that the woman carried it on her person demonstrated her extraordinary identity.
She was Miao Chen, one of the Expert Guest Elders of the Demon Mountains.
She had dominated the East Sea for hundreds of years, renowned for her ruthless methods and the Treasure Artifact long whip.
Her Nascent Soul Ninth Level Peak cultivation, and combat strength rivaled that of Transformation Level cultivators.
The others were also frightening figures in terms of Qi Dynamic.
Among them, a middle-aged, strong man possessed an even more terrifying aura.
He stood on a cloud, with a flash of inspiration condensing behind his head.
It was like a painting of a god or Buddha, exuding solemn pressure.
This person’s cultivation was about to break through to Transformation Level Seven, and he possessed numerous Magical Treasure methods.
The strong man was none other than…
The Demon Lord Hu Yin who had previously spoken towards the Guest Hall!
Not to mention in the East Sea; even in the inland Eastern Wasteland and Southern Border, he was a well-known Expert.
Another major Demon’s gaze was like a blade. He coldly snorted: “The Everflow Sword Sect is merely a third-rate sect. Xie Fei, a mere Nascent Soul Elder, dares to be so arrogant!
“If we don’t teach him a lesson today, how can we maintain our face?”
Hearing this, Miao Chen flicked her whip, the scales lightly resonating.
A cold smile curled her lips: “Exactly!
“Since they came to visit, his failure to appear is a sign of disdain!
“How about I make a move and force him out?”
Her tone was frivolous, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes; she clearly intended to use this opportunity to assert her authority.
Hu Yin neither approved nor disapproved, seeming to tacitly permit it.
Just then.
Zhou Hongxian slowly walked out of the Guest Hall, her aura steady, a smile on her face.
Raising her hand in a bow, she said aloud: “Senior Cultivators, Elder Xie is currently in seclusion, contemplating an important Profound Skill, and is unable to greet you personally. Please forgive him!
“I am Zhou Hongxian, apologizing on behalf of Elder Xie, and am ready to hear your instruction.”
Her words were polite, her attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
She attempted to use softness to overcome hardness, to resolve the present hostility.
In fact, Xie Fei was not in seclusion.
The two of them merely agreed that Zhou Hongxian would go out to probe, attempting to stall for time and see if they could deceive them.
Once they left the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, everything would be easier.
However.
Upon hearing this, Miao Chen’s disdain deepened. She coldly snorted: “Arrogant!
“A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator dares to use seclusion as an excuse?
“Do you really think we are easy to bully!”
Before her words had finished.
The Black Scale Soul Devouring Whip in her hand suddenly lashed out, her movements swift as lightning.
Crack!
The whip shadow tore through the air.
The jet-black scales opened, each tiny scale shooting out a stream of emerald green light.
Like countless poisoned needles, they converged into a light screen, enveloping Zhou Hongxian.
The light was sharp, accompanied by a piercing shriek, containing a strange power that corroded the soul, causing palpitations.
Zhou Hongxian’s pupils constricted; she hadn’t expected the other party to act so suddenly and without warning.
Her anger flared, but she could only suppress it.
Then, a flash of inspiration repeatedly flickered beneath her feet as she used her Movement Technique, turning into an afterimage, narrowly avoiding the light screen.
The light brushed past her, striking the Guest Hall’s protective barrier, producing a piercing explosion.
The barrier’s light trembled violently, almost shattering.
“You…”
Zhou Hongxian stabilized her figure, anger flashing in her eyes, but she did not attack.
She knew that Miao Chen’s Treasure Artifact was extraordinary.
Coupled with Hu Yin watching from the side…
She took a deep breath, wanting to mediate again.
Unexpectedly, her evasion enraged Miao Chen.
The woman sneered, cold light blazing in her eyes: “Dare to dodge, it’s because you are guilty!
“How can I live up to the reputation of my Black Scale Whip without giving you a lesson today?”
She shouted.
The long whip in her hand suddenly exploded, transforming into countless tiny scales, like a rain of black stars, covering Zhou Hongxian in an instant.
The scales’ light flickered, mutually attracting, subtly forming an imprisonment magic array, emitting a chilling aura.
Zhou Hongxian’s expression darkened; crimson flames rose from her body, attempting to burn the scales.
However.
The scales were exceptionally tough; although the flames were fierce, they could only slightly slow their encirclement.
“Imprison her!”
Miao Chen stood in mid-air, the long whip’s shadow reappeared, a smug smile curving her lips.
“What do you mean? We are all honored guests invited by your Grand Princess!
“To attack us like this, do you not even care about the Grand Princess?”
Even in this situation, Zhou Hongxian remained calm.
Miao Chen laughed even more coldly: “Grand Princess?
“Humph, we merely came to visit, yet we received such a cold reception. What does it have to do with the Grand Princess?
“You dare use the Grand Princess to pressure me, your crime is even greater!”
She flicked her wrist, the scales of the long whip shining brightly, the imprisonment power increasing sharply.
She seemed to intend to kill Zhou Hongxian on the spot!
At that moment.
Hu Yin stood on the cloud, his gaze shifting slightly.
As if sensing something, he turned his head towards the Guest Hall.
But just as he noticed it, a starlight dazzling garment suddenly flew out from inside the hall.
The light was like a tide, instantly falling beside Zhou Hongxian.
As the garment appeared, countless starlight bloomed.
Transforming into an indestructible light screen, firmly protecting Zhou Hongxian.
Although Miao Chen’s scale-based magic array was sharp, the light screen remained unmoved, exuding a vast pressure.
As time passed.
The garment seemed to be filled with power, suddenly bursting forth with ripples of starlight, like ripples on water, slowly spreading.
The ripples seemed slow, but they contained terrifying might, as if stars were falling to earth, causing the void to tremble.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud bangs in succession.
The starlight ripples swept across all directions, the powerful force directly shattering the scale-based magic array.
Countless tiny scales wailed, their light dimming, and they flew back.
They recondensed into a long whip, falling into Miao Chen’s hand.
Miao Chen’s expression changed, her hand holding the whip trembling slightly.
The Black Scale Soul Devouring Whip’s artifact spirit whimpered, clearly seriously injured.
She was about to strike again.
But the garment flashed, wrapping Zhou Hongxian and instantly bringing her back into the Guest Hall.
At the same time.
The sky suddenly changed!
A vast Sword Intent rose from the Guest Hall, transforming into an invisible world, and descended.
Enveloping Hu Yin, Miao Chen, and their group.
Within the sword realm.
Sword Qi was like a tide, boiling and roaring.
The void hummed, the sharp pressure suffocating.
Seeing this situation.
Miao Chen and the others’ expressions changed drastically.
“Worthy of being from the Everflow Sword Sect, this boiling Sword Qi, the soaring Sword Intent.
“At your current Realm, to be able to reach this point…
“It seems the future of the Everflow Sword Sect rests on you!”
Hu Yin, a Transformation Level Six cultivator, stepped forward, standing in front of Miao Chen and the others, speaking.
Both the garment and the current sword world.
Were Xie Fei’s methods!
At this moment.
Within the sword realm, Xie Fei’s figure appeared.
Looking at Hu Yin and the others, he calmly said: “I have long heard of the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains’ great reputation.
“And my Everflow Sword Sect also has a considerable relationship with the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains.
“I didn’t expect to come to Demon Emperor Island and receive such treatment.
“Is this the style of the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains?”
Hearing this.
Miao Chen coldly snorted: “Xie Fei, our actions have nothing to do with the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, and even less to do with the Grand Princess!
“Don’t casually put the blame on us!”
“Oh?” Xie Fei smiled, “Since you repeatedly emphasize that it’s unrelated to the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, then that’s good.”
He had been waiting for this sentence.
Whether it was true or not, with this sentence, many things would be easier to do.
“It’s unrelated to the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, but it’s related to you and me.”
Hu Yin said at this time: “Years ago, your Everflow Sword Sect imprisoned my offspring and injured my foundation.
“I had intended to visit your Everflow Sword Sect during this period, but I heard that an Elder from the Everflow Sword Sect was visiting.
“Since that’s the case, it’s a good opportunity to vent my anger.
“Revenge for revenge, repay kindness for kindness.
“You shouldn’t mind this, right?”
Saying this.
He looked at Miao Chen and the other Demons: “You retreat first. This person’s combat strength is extraordinary; don’t be misled by his cultivation.”
Hu Yin turned back to Xie Fei: “You can’t avoid this battle, but I can promise.
“To stop when it’s enough.
“Regardless, afterwards, even if I attack the Everflow Sword Sect, I will no longer attack you.”
After finishing.
He had already begun to stir his Demon Power, preparing to make a move.
Seeing this, Miao Chen and the others retreated.
But under the sword realm’s cover, they could only stand at the edge, unable to leave.
“Xie Fei, are you really going to fight them?”
Here.
In the Guest Hall, Zhou Hongxian asked through sound transmission.
Xie Fei narrowed his eyes, looking at Hu Yin who was ready to strike: “Since they said it’s unrelated to the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, and it’s not directed at the Ninth Central, then let’s have a fight.
“And there’s a possibility that we’ve both misunderstood.”
“What?” Zhou Hongxian was stunned.
“Hu Yin might not be sent by the Ninth Central’s opponent.”
Xie Fei transmitted his guess back: “On this trip to the Dragon Palace Treasury, although the Ninth Central only wants Myriad Demon Blood.
“But there are so many Experts in the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, what about them?
“Are they all noble Demons who disdain treasures?
“This probe, if we are afraid, we might end up suffering a loss in the Dragon Palace Treasury.”
After hearing this.
Zhou Hongxian fell into thought.
If she were the one presiding over the opening of the Dragon Palace Treasury, upon seeing Xie Fei being so easy to bully, or so weak.
She probably would have some ideas beyond the agreement.
On the path of cultivation.
What should not be done, and what should be most carefully considered,
Is that in the face of treasures, any agreement is false.
Never be kind in judging the opponent’s intentions.
Few who have reached this stage are truly benevolent.
“Are you sure? This Demon Lord isn’t comparable to any Demon Lord. After so many years of cultivation, his methods and treasures must be inexhaustible…”
Although she had witnessed Xie Fei suppressing two Transformation Level Five Demon Lords, Zhou Hongxian was still somewhat worried.
“It should be no problem.”
Xie Fei replied: “This isn’t saying that I can suppress Hu Yin in terms of strength.
“But whether it’s from the Ninth Central’s perspective or others.
“No one would watch us fight Hu Yin to the death. Someone will surely step in to mediate then.
“I only need to show them strength that deserves respect; I don’t need to kill this Demon Lord.”
Hu Yin seemed to be deliberately waiting, waiting for Xie Fei to make up his mind: “How is it? Have you thought it over?”
“Then let’s fight.”
Xie Fei didn’t say much more, responding.
“Good! You have courage!”
Hu Yin let out a long roar, the light behind his head suddenly blooming.
It ultimately transformed into a canopy of light, enveloping his entire body.
