Chapter 196: Now It's My Turn to Be Generous
"As expected..."
Aqian tightly clenched the golden silk net with both hands, gritting her teeth as she stared at the bronze mirror in the sky.
The last time she overheard the conversation between the Moonhowl Demon King and this Bull Demon, she had an ominous premonition.
Even if they needed the Lesser Demon King's help to deal with Qingzhou.
But Moonhowl's posture was too submissive.
This arrogant Bull Demon most likely came from a demon force outside the Great Qian Dynasty, and such well-connected demons would surely have some means of self-preservation.
Perhaps, behind them stood an existence even more terrifying than the Demon King.
However, this might not be a bad thing for Qingzhou.
Aqian had intended to escalate the situation, letting the Martial Temple know that they had lost more than just Qingzhou, a loss they could not afford to tolerate temporarily.
When the powerful demons from outside rushed over, the situation would be entirely different.
Because no one knew if they were merely seeking revenge or if they planned to take advantage of the opportunity to conquer the Great Qian Dynasty, further encroaching on the already limited survival space of the immortal sects and putting them in a precarious position.
If it involved that level of power, the Xuan Guang Cave and Wutong Mountain would no longer have a reason to stand idly by, as they were nominally allies with the Great Qian Dynasty.
And guarding the outside was something they had to do.
Qingzhou was a gateway to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the dynasty itself had become a door used to block the invasion of demons.
The consecutive fall of the twelve Transcendent Incarnation Realm cultivators from the Martial Temple, along with the Ancestor's injury, had gradually turned the once-stable alliance into a situation where two masters had a watchdog.
All the Primordial Masters were withdrawn to serve the immortal sects.
Even asking for aid required such a bold and defiant attitude... General Jiangan dared not show such audacity, but Aqian would!
Damn it, if we're going to die, we'll die together.
First, kill the Lesser Demon King, then after Jiang Qiulan breaks through, slay Moonhowl, creating a time difference. As for the more terrifying demons, let the Martial Temple and the immortal sects deal with them.
This was Qingzhou's only chance to escape disaster.
Even if the odds were slim, it was still more reliable than watching the Lesser Demon King break through and slaughter half of Qingzhou, only to wait for the exhausted Primordial Masters to return and clean up the so-called mess.
Now, there was only one problem left.
Aqian reached for the golden bell at her waist and took out a crimson-plumed spear that was five times longer than her entire body.
"Kill!"
The petite figure suddenly leaped, thrusting the spear's tip, shimmering with a cold glow, towards the Lesser Demon King's body! At the same time, Shen Yi soared past, his Abyssal Longsword fiercely slashing towards the Bull Demon's forehead, while the Crystal Ice Dragon roared and bit towards its throat! All three were experienced demon slayers, and they wouldn't just stand by and watch the Bull Demon use its artifact.
In an instant, several consecutive clanging sounds of metal colliding rang out.
The Lesser Demon King's robust body had a set of armor floating around it.
The reason it was described as floating was that the armor was disassembled, divided into more than ten pieces, hovering around its body, forming an overall ancient and heavy bronze appearance. The intricate carvings on it lacked radiant splendor, only quietly surrounding its body.
The spear pierced the shoulder armor, and the straight spear shaft suddenly bent, emitting mournful wails under the immense force.
The Crystal Ice Dragon was blocked by the heart-protecting armor plates, and the dense sword intent could only leave white marks on it before shattering into pieces.
Only Shen Yi's long sword slashed down fiercely, leaving a deep gash on another hastily raised shoulder plate!
The Lesser Demon King slowly stood up from the ground.
His face was covered in terrifying wounds, and one of his bull horns was broken, but with the bronze armor surrounding him, he appeared even more dignified and formidable than before.
He slightly clenched his palm, and the ring-head greatsword swiftly rose into the air, landing in his broad hand.
The Crimson Cloud was adept at fleeing, the greatsword was indestructible, and the armor provided heavy defense.
For a noble being like it, its family had thoroughly prepared everything before it set out.
"Roar!"
The Lesser Demon King's expression remained unchanged as he exhaled a puff of white breath.
His gaze swept over the scratches on the armor, and it was clear who posed the greatest threat.
His divine consciousness stirred slightly.
The copper mirror hanging in the sky shifted its direction.
"This king has always had Jiang Qiulan on his mind, but I overlooked the fact that Qingzhou has a warrior like you."
The Lesser Demon King looked down indifferently at the Black Armored Youth in front of him, "Your halberd is not bad, now it's my turn to showcase my foundation."
As he spoke, a faint light suddenly shone from the copper mirror.
"..."
Shen Yi had once faced such a well-backed demon.
The fox demon from Green Hill also had numerous artifacts, but compared to the Bull Demon, it seemed a bit shabby.
The Abyssal Longsword that could pierce through the Demon King's body was first blocked by the Ring-Head Greatsword, and then by the Bronze Armor, indicating that both were top-grade artifacts.
Judging by this, the copper mirror should not be inferior either.
After thinking this, Shen Yi transformed into a gust of clear wind and disappeared from his original spot, reappearing beside the Bull Demon, intending to strike with his sword. However, he discovered that the faint light projected by the copper mirror still enveloped him.
It was as if a thin veil trapped his entire body within.
The next moment, a blazing golden glow emerged from the mirror's surface.
Following the direction indicated by the faint light, it burst forth!
Boom!
The dense golden light condensed into a pillar, enveloping the Black Armored Youth.
Everything happened in an instant.
Under the terrifying and suffocating might, Aqian and Wu Feng felt their vision distort.
Jiang Qiulan silently stared at the golden light, her palm clenched tightly, and the Crystal Ice Dragon, which had reformed, slammed into the copper mirror with a ferocity far greater than before!
Countless silver needles surged out of her body, merging into the jade dragon!
Bang! Bang!
The copper mirror shook violently, on the verge of shattering, but half of the golden light had to be diverted to deal with the jade dragon.
"Have you forgotten about me?"
The Lesser Demon King's face twisted into a sinister smile, and as his eight-zhang tall majestic body ran, the ground cracked, spreading out intricate cracks like porcelain.
He raised the Ring-Head Greatsword high.
The Crystal Ice Dragon did not retreat, and Jiang Qiulan did not shift her gaze to the Bull Demon. She silently stared at the copper mirror, mentally counting how many strikes it would take to shatter it.
With her agility, there was no need to worry about unnecessary distractions.
One more strike...
A chill appeared in her eyes, and the Dao Infant in her inner core was pierced by several silver needles once more. Under the intense pain, the Dao Infant let out a piercing wail.
More sword intent condensed around her.
"You still have hidden moves?" The bronze armor could block cleaving and chopping attacks, but it couldn't stop the bone-chilling chill, and the Lesser Demon King felt his body stiffen, his movements slowing down.
His eyelids twitched, and even with the support of so many artifacts, he still didn't have complete confidence in defeating his opponent.
The Lesser Demon King clenched the hilt of his sword with all his might, intending to strike.
Just then, a slender palm extended from within the golden light, and its fingers gripped the edge of the mirror. The mirror struggled frantically, but the hand firmly pulled it down.
The massive copper mirror was forcibly stuffed into the silver pouch.
Shen Yi's dark armor shattered, revealing his robust body with a terrifyingly large wound, deep enough to expose his bones, and even his internal organs could be seen twitching. However, under the nourishment of the crimson glow, his body rapidly healed at a visible rate.
Even the Body Tempering Body of the Seventh Transformation Celestial Demon couldn't withstand that golden light.
It was indeed a good item.
He tore off the tattered upper half of his dark armor and glanced at the Bull Demon.
Then, his body erupted with power.
His sturdy arm extended, and his palm pressed against the Lesser Demon King's forehead.
The youth's handsome face twisted with ferocity.
Boom!
Under the unimaginable force, the Lesser Demon King's entire body was forcibly flipped over without any resistance.
