Chapter 196: Now It's My Turn to Be Extravagant
"As expected..."
Aqian clenched her small hands around the golden silk net, gritting her teeth as she stared at the bronze mirror floating above.
Ever since she overheard the conversation between the Howling Moon Demon King and this bull demon, she had a vague premonition.
Even if they needed the Little Demon King to deal with Qingzhou, Howling Moon's attitude was a bit too submissive.
This arrogant bull demon was very likely from a demonic force outside the Great Qian Dynasty, and such a well-backed demon would surely have some tricks up its sleeve for self-preservation.
Perhaps, there was an even more terrifying existence backing this demon.
However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for Qingzhou.
Aqian intended to make a big fuss, letting the Martial Temple know that they had lost more than just Qingzhou—a loss they couldn't simply endure temporarily.
If powerful demons from outside rushed over in a menacing manner, the implications would be entirely different.
No one could be sure if they were merely seeking revenge or aiming to take advantage of the situation to conquer the Great Qian Dynasty, further encroaching on the already limited survival space of the Immortal's Way and putting them in a two-front war.
If it involved that level of threat, the Xuan Guang Cave and the Wutong Mountain would have no reason to sit idly by, as they were nominally allies with the Great Qian Dynasty.
And defending against the outside threat would be something they must do.
Qingzhou was a gateway to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the dynasty itself served as a barrier against the demon invasion.
With the consecutive losses of twelve Nascent Soul cultivators from the Martial Temple and the injury of their ancestor, the once stable alliance gradually shifted into a situation where two masters were accompanied by a watchdog.
The Mixed Element Sect Masters were all dispatched to serve the Immortal's Way.
Even when seeking aid, they had to rely on such a table-flipping momentum... If Jiang Yuanhua didn't dare to flip the table, then Aqian would do it herself!
To hell with it, if we're going to die, we'll die together.
First, kill the Little Demon King, then slay Howling Moon after Jiang Qiuluan breaks through, aiming for a time difference. As for that more terrifying demon, let the Martial Temple and the Immortal's Way deal with it.
This was Qingzhou's only chance to escape calamity.
Even if the odds were slim, it was still more reliable than watching helplessly as the Little Demon King broke through and slaughtered half of Qingzhou, only to wait for those Mixed Element Sect Masters to return exhausted and then clean up the so-called aftermath.
Now, only one problem remained.
Aqian reached for her waist and took out a red-tasseled spear from the golden bell. The spear was more than five times longer than her entire body.
"Kill!"
The petite figure suddenly leaped, thrusting the spear's tip, shimmering with cold light, towards the Little Demon King!
At the same time, Shen Yi also soared through the sky, his Black Abyssal Blade slashing viciously towards the bull demon's glabella, while the Icy Jade Dragon followed closely behind, roaring as it bit at its throat!
All three of them were veterans in demon-slaying, and they wouldn't just stand by and watch the bull demon use its treasure.
In an instant, several ear-piercing clangs of metal colliding rang out.
The Little Demon King's robust body was surrounded by a set of armor that seemed to float around him.
It was described as floating because the armor was disassembled, consisting of over ten pieces drifting around his body. The overall design exuded an ancient and heavy bronze texture, adorned with intricate carvings, devoid of glowing runes. It quietly hovered by the demon's side.
The long spear stabbed into the shoulder armor, and the straight spear shaft suddenly bent, emitting mournful creaks under the immense force.
The Icy Jade Dragon was blocked by the heart-guarding armor plate, and the dense sword intents could only leave white marks on its surface before shattering one after another.
Only Shen Yi's long blade fiercely slashed down, leaving a deep gash on another hastily summoned shoulder guard!
The Little Demon King slowly climbed to its feet, unhurried.
Its face bore horrifying wounds, and one of the bull horns on its head had snapped, but with the encirclement of the bronze armor, it looked even more majestic and sinister than before.
It slightly cupped its palm, and the ring-headed broadsword swiftly rose into the air, landing in its wide hand.
Red Cloud was adept at fleeing, the broadsword was invincible, and the armor provided robust defense.
For a noble existence like it, its family had prepared thoroughly before sending it out.
With a slight stir of his divine sense, the bronze mirror hanging in the sky shifted direction.
"This king has always had his heart set on Jiang Qiuluan, but it seems I've overlooked the fact that Qingzhou has a valiant warrior like you." The Little Demon King looked down indifferently at the youth in front of him, clad in dark armor. "Your blade is impressive, but now it's my turn to show you my true depths."
As he spoke, a faint light suddenly shone down from the copper mirror.
"..."
Shen Yi had once faced such well-connected demons before.
The fox demon in Qingqiu had also unleashed numerous treasures, but compared to the bull demon before him, it seemed rather shabby.
The Abyssal Blade that could pierce through the body of a Demon King was first blocked by the ring-headed broadsword and then by the bronze armor. This could only mean that both were top-grade treasures.
Judging from this, the copper mirror was likely no less extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi turned into a gust of clear wind and disappeared from his original spot, only to reappear at the bull demon's side. Just as he was about to strike with his blade, he realized that the faint light cast by the copper mirror earlier was still enveloping him.
It was like a thin veil, trapping his entire body within.
The next moment, scorching golden light surged from the mirror's surface.
Following the direction of the faint light, it burst forth!
Boom!
Vivid golden light condensed into a pillar, enveloping the dark-armored youth.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Under that terrifying, breath-taking aura, Aqian and Wu Feng felt their vision distort.
Jiang Qiuluan silently stared at the golden light, her palms clenching tightly. The Icy Jade Dragon, which had regrouped, crashed into the copper mirror with a madness surpassing its previous attack!
Countless silver needles surged from her body, merging into the jade dragon!
Bang! Bang!
The copper mirror shook violently, on the verge of shattering. It had no choice but to divide half of its golden light to counter the jade dragon.
"Have you forgotten about this king?"
The Little Demon King revealed a sinister smile. As its eight-zhang-tall majestic figure ran, the ground trembled and cracked like porcelain, spreading out in intricate patterns.
It raised the ring-headed broadsword high.
The Icy Jade Dragon did not defend, and Jiang Qiuluan did not shift her gaze to the bull demon. She silently stared at the copper mirror, counting in her mind how many more strikes it would take to shatter it.
With her agility, there was no need to divert her attention elsewhere.
One more strike...
A chill rose in her eyes, and the Dao Infant in her inner dan was pierced by several silver needles once more. Under the stimulation of excruciating pain, the Dao Infant let out a piercing wail.
More sword intents condensed beside her.
"Still have a hidden trick?" The bronze armor could block chops and hacks, but it couldn't stop that bone-chilling cold. The Little Demon King felt his body stiffen, and his movements slowed.
His eyelids twitched. Even with the boost of so many treasures, he still didn't feel completely confident in killing his opponent.
The Little Demon King clutched the broadsword's handle tightly, intending to swing it down.
Just then, a slender palm extended from the golden light, fingers clasping the edge of the copper mirror. The mirror struggled frantically, but it was still pulled down by that hand.
The massive copper mirror was forcibly pulled into the silver pocket.
Shen Yi's dark armor shattered, revealing gruesome wounds on his robust body, deep enough to see bones and even the slightly pulsating internal organs. However, under the nourishment of the red light, his body began to heal at a visible rate.
Even the tempered body of a Seventh Nirvana of the Celestial Demon couldn't withstand that golden light.
It truly was a good item.
He tore off the tattered upper half of his dark armor and glanced at the bull demon.
Then, his figure erupted in motion.
His sturdy arms stretched out, and his palm pressed against the Little Demon King's forehead.
A sinister look appeared on the youth's handsome face.
Boom!
Under that unimaginable force, the Little Demon King's entire body was powerless to resist and was forcefully pushed down to the ground!
