Chapter 368: The Emperor's Eyes Have No Place for Traitors
Chapter 368: The Emperor's Eyes Have No Place for Traitors
"Keep being arrogant! If I don't beat you senseless, consider yourself lucky!"
Yu Chao'an intimidated the Stag Demon, then leaped into the air and landed next to Tong Xinquan.
Looking at the Golden-Eyed Lion King within the array, he sneered, pulling up his sleeves and clapping his palms together.
"..."
Tong Xinquan glanced helplessly at this idiot.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and began to set up another killing formation.
Just then, his eyes narrowed suddenly.
He saw the Golden-Eyed Lion King briefly observing its surroundings, its expression calm and unperturbed.
Then, it casually took a step forward.
Its seemingly chaotic gait became faster, and each step landed heavily on Tong Xinquan's heart, causing his face to contort in fury.
In just a few breaths.
Shen Yi calmly walked out of the beam of light.
Several phoenixes seemed completely oblivious to his presence and continued to dance, showering light dust.
Whoosh—
Accompanied by a piercing sound.
Yu Chao'an found himself face-to-face with a pair of massive golden eyes, and the spell he had been chanting abruptly stopped halfway.
He awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Lion King, I was just joking."
Tong Xinquan's breath trembled, and his eyes widened with anger and disbelief as he stared at the lion in front of him. The movements of his hands, which had been setting up the formation, also froze.
The half-completed killing formation fell apart.
The clouds that filled the sky suddenly dispersed, revealing two massive dragon and tiger blades that descended at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
They slashed viciously onto the lion's rippling back.
Crack!
The dragon and tiger blades inexplicably shattered.
The lion didn't even bat an eye, and it immediately swung its claws, its sharp talons slicing through the air and slamming heavily onto the two of them.
Yu Chao'an, who had just managed to recover his breath, was sent flying once more.
This time, however, there was an additional figure beside him.
Tong Xinquan's eyes glazed over, and he flew backward, his mind filled with immense confusion.
He couldn't understand how someone could escape his proud formation after just three glances.
Even someone with similar expertise to him would never be able to break his formation so easily without any thought or effort.
Just before he landed.
He finally summoned a auspicious cloud to catch the two of them.
His fingers twitched as if to set up another formation, but after a brief tremor, he slapped his waist instead, where his storage bag was located.
Immediately, an ordinary-looking array plate floated out.
It was the tool his master had used to teach him formations.
By summoning this object, Tong Xinquan, despite his reluctance to admit defeat, had conceded in his heart that his formation expertise was inferior.
Although he had been bad-mouthing these people all along.
At this critical juncture, he couldn't bring himself to gamble with his junior brother's life just to save face temporarily.
"Run."
He closed his eyes, his voice sounding slightly weak.
Immediately, the array plate emitted a dazzling light that enveloped the lion's body.
Grabbing his junior brother's sleeve, Tong Xinquan turned and fled without hesitation!
However, the Golden-Eyed Lion King seemed to have anticipated this move, and just before being enveloped by the light, it threw the spear in its hand once more.
The ghostly tail transformed into a thin stream of light that pursued the escaping duo.
It slammed into Tong Xinquan's waist, sending him flying back another hundred meters.
"Puh!"
Tong Xinquan spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head in astonishment. Then, as if sensing something, he reached for his waist.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Yu Chao'an panted heavily.
"I... I'm fine. Let's go."
Tong Xinquan touched his empty waist, grit his teeth, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and continued to flee without looking back.
"..."
Shen Yi retracted his ghostly tail spear and looked at the sword rain that filled the sky.
He turned his gaze slowly toward the Stag Demon and said coldly, "Stop them."
"Me?"
The Stag Demon opened its mouth, then closed it again. Are you freaking kidding me? I'm already doing my best to stay alive here!
It sighed and pretended to put in a great effort to chase after them.
"Huh."
Shen Yi turned his attention back to the sword rain.
The reason he had been able to break through Tong Xinquan's formation earlier was simple—he had truly spent over twenty thousand years of lifespan memorizing all the formations of the Xu family, including those that were merely speculated or imaginary. He had left no stone unturned.
As for this completely unfamiliar one... he could only tough it out.
In an instant, the sound of swords rang out, shaking the heavens.
Countless streams of light, like cow hair, fell on the lion.
Amid the deafening explosions that shook the heavens, the ground trembled for dozens of li around, and countless rocks and mud were sent flying.
"Hiss!"
The Stag Demon, who had been pretending to give chase, trembled all over and turned back in fear.
Then, its entire body froze in place.
In the midst of the mud and rocks, an eight-zhang-tall figure strode out unhurriedly.
It still maintained that regal posture, as if it were a king.
Calmly walking up to the Stag Demon.
As if the sword array that had just shaken the world was but an illusion.
Shen Yi looked calmly toward the empty space in front of him, then revealed a smile: "You call that an interception?"
As he spoke, he slowly lowered his gaze.
Under the gaze of those golden eyes, the Stag Demon couldn't even stand straight. As a Demon Emperor, it fell to the ground in a ridiculous manner, right in front of everyone: "Lion Emperor, no, you... you have to listen to my explanation..."
"You want me to listen to your explanation?"
Amidst the piercing pleas for mercy, a pitch-black spear suddenly pierced its neck, and putrid demon blood splattered everywhere.
"You deliberately let the disciples of Wutong Mountain go, and you still dare to argue?"
Shen Yi smiled gently, but even Lei Ti, far away in the horizon, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Do you take me for a fool?"
As he spoke, the giant lion paw covered the Stag Demon's head.
Then, with a fierce tug, it was torn off.
Ziiiiip—
The lion opened its mouth slightly and slowly chewed on the flesh and blood on it.
Under the gaze of countless demons.
It meticulously and ferociously devoured the Stag Demon, not leaving even a single bit behind.
The entire Thousand Demon Cave fell silent.
Including the voluptuous woman slowly descending behind the lion.
The Nine-Striped Golden-Winged Demon Empress flapped her wings, her expression complex as she watched the scene unfold.
Brutal and intolerant of defiance.
Merciless and ruthless.
"Even if it is inherently cowardly, it definitely didn't collude with Wutong Mountain on purpose... After all, it is one of my subjects. Aren't you being a bit too excessive?"
"Hmm."
Shen Yi wiped the bloodstains from the corners of his lips with his claws and said, "Whether it colluded or not, your words don't count. I only believe what I see, and it let my prey escape."
"I could have broken Wutong Mountain's spine in one fell swoop."
He turned his head slowly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Hearing this, the Nine-Striped Golden-Winged Demon Empress paused for a moment, anger flashing in her eyes: "Come with me, I have something to say to you."
Shen Yi turned his head indifferently: "I still have something to take care of."
"What is it?" The woman frowned and asked.
She saw Shen Yi slowly extend his palm, and in the center of his palm lay a small, shimmering jade slip.
He curled his lips and looked up into the sky: "I want to know what this is. Why doesn't this Thousand Demon Cave tolerate my existence, even after I've made such great contributions?"
His words slowly echoed.
Under the gaze of those golden eyes.
Lei Ti Demon Emperor's heart trembled, and the thunder scales all over his body stood on end. Feeling guilty, he turned and fled towards the Thunder Pond!
"..."
The Nine-Striped Golden-Winged Demon Empress fell silent, her eyes filled with an even more complex emotion.
An ambitious great demon, who wanted to become the leader of the Thousand Demon Cave, would not tolerate the existence of a traitor under his watch.
"Suit yourself."
She waved her hand and turned to leave: "But after this matter is over, you must give me an explanation."
The Golden-Eyed Lion King turned as if he hadn't heard a thing and stepped into the cave.
Leaving behind only the distant crowd of demons.
Who watched the direction of the Golden-Eyed Lion King's departure with fearful yet slightly reverent eyes.
Silence reigned.
