Chapter 375: A Pathetic Waste
Chapter 375: A Pathetic Waste
The light shone like ripples on clear water.
It looked gentle, but as it fell...
The cave mansion of the Shadow-tailed Demon Emperor instantly turned into flat ground, and then the surrounding earth veins collapsed several zhang!
Ka! Ka! Ka!
Lingxi Zhenren pressed her right palm down, her eyes cold and unblinking.
Seeing the sudden collapse, Tong Xinquan's expression changed drastically. The other party had acted without any discussion or warning.
"...”
Miaqing Hui pursed her lips, her reflexes sharp as she summoned the Xuan Black Pagoda.
She stared grimly at the ruins beneath her feet.
She didn't know how powerful the Lion Emperor was, but she had seen Shen Yi in action. With a simple comparison, she could tell that this lion, having obtained the Shadow-tailed Spear, was no ordinary creature.
It was too hasty! They were intelligent cultivators; for an assassination, they could have made more adequate preparations.
Aside from anything else, they could have had Tong, the disciple, set up a large array first. Even if it couldn't stop the lion, it could have prevented other demons from coming to its aid, greatly reducing the likelihood of the lion's escape.
If something unexpected happened...
The Golden-eyed Lion Emperor was currently riding a wave of success, which was why they had been so careless. If he sensed the danger, there might never be another opportunity to get close to him again.
"Don't let your guard down!"
Unfortunately, as the junior disciple, Miaqing Hui didn't dare reprimand this senior disciple, who held herself in such high regard. She could only remind her two junior disciples to be cautious.
"Is that necessary?"
Lingxi Zhenren glanced at her coldly, "Do you not trust me? Would you rather Master Nie be here instead?"
"Qinghui dares not," Miaqing Hui shook her head and sighed inwardly.
"In the end, it's just a little demon, not one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors."
Lingxi Zhenren withdrew her gaze, turning her palm over and clenching her fingers, "Moreover, in front of me, even if one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors showed up, what of it?"
Master Nie had been able to take on six demons by himself years ago. How much stronger could they possibly get?
What he could do, she could do too, and she would do it even better.
As she clenched her palm, the dust and rubble beneath her feet suddenly stirred, as if an invisible giant hand made of spiritual pressure was squeezing it together.
"Huh."
Tong Xinquan turned his gaze downward, opting not to set up an array but instead drawing a long and short pair of mother and child swords.
As the dust and rubble gathered into an enormous sphere...
Suddenly, a huge vibration came from within the sphere, and a fingernail-sharp hand burst out.
Then, a pair of golden wings shook the rubble apart.
A voluptuous and wild-looking woman stepped forward, her slit-pupiled eyes calmly gazing upward.
After getting a clear look at the people in front of her, she bit her fingernail with her tiger teeth, a hint of playfulness curling her lips, "So what if it's one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors? Is that supposed to impress me?"
As this crisp voice rang in their ears...
Tong Xinquan abruptly raised his twin swords, Miaqing Hui's eyes narrowed, and Qingfeng Zhenren took a sharp breath, "The Nine-striped Golden Winged Tiger!"
Why was a ferocious tiger coming after them instead of the Golden-eyed Lion Emperor?
And why had one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors left their treasure trove?!
"...”
Lingxi Zhenren, under the gaze of those slit-pupiled eyes, felt a chill run down her spine, causing her to swallow imperceptibly.
She had always stayed on Wutong Mountain, by her master's side.
Her knowledge of the Thousand Demon Cave came mostly from conversations with her fellow disciples.
This was her first time seeing one of the legendary Great Demon Emperors with her own eyes.
Even though the tiger still maintained a human form and didn't look particularly ferocious, the subtle aura of ferocity it exuded still made Lingxi Zhenren's heart race.
"Wh...what's the problem?"
"Of course, there's a problem."
Hearing this hesitant rebuttal, the Golden Winged Tiger Demon Emperor finally smiled, "This Emperor is seventy thousand years old. I've probably eaten more Nascent Soul stage cultivators than you've ever seen. How dare you stand before this Emperor?"
As the last word fell...
"Get out of my way!"
Lingxi Zhenren screamed, waving her sleeves. A thick burst of spiritual pressure surged forth, heavily slamming into the Golden-winged Tiger Demoness.
The voluptuous woman sidestepped, letting out a mocking laugh as she left several deep gashes on Lingxi's pale neck with her claws.
"Ah—"
Lingxi felt the sting and instinctively let out a low cry.
Tong Xinquan gritted his teeth, and the Mother and Child Swords shot out like agile snakes, stabbing at the Golden-winged Tiger with lightning speed!
Ding!
The Golden-winged Tiger slightly turned her head and bit down on the short sword, her tiger teeth causing cracks to appear on the blade.
As for the long sword, it was also tightly gripped in her palm.
The treasured sword from Wutong Mountain was extraordinary, tearing the palm of the great demoness and causing viscous demon blood to drip along the sword edge.
However, her face remained unchanged, still wearing that mocking smile.
"Senior Sister!"
Miaqing Hui's Black Pagoda released a mysterious light, enveloping the tiger demoness, as she anxiously shouted.
Tong Xinquan looked over at the sound, his face contorting with rage. "...!"
He saw Lingxi Zhenren breathing heavily, one hand clutching her neck while the fingers of the other hand moved rapidly. The spiritual energy of the world seemed to condense and disperse with her movements, but she had made a mistake in her incantation!
"It's just a minor injury, why are you panicking?" Tong Xinquan scolded angrily.
How could she make such a mistake at a critical moment like this?
"I didn't! I didn't make a mistake!" Lingxi Zhenren shouted back in a higher-pitched voice, finally getting the incantation right.
A clear spiritual seal suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, rushing towards the voluptuous woman!
After releasing this spiritual seal, Lingxi Zhenren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But only for a moment. The next instant, her pupils dilated again.
The spiritual seal she had used, a secret art taught to her by her master and practiced to perfection, was now being held back by the Golden-winged Tiger with just one hand, as if it were nothing.
"Is that all you've got, Senior Sister of Wutong Mountain?" the Golden-winged Tiger asked mockingly.
"She..." Lingxi Zhenren stuttered, unable to believe her eyes.
Tong Xinquan quickly set up a grand formation, while Miaqing Hui flew forward, slamming the Black Pagoda in her hand towards the tiger demoness!
Even Qingfeng took the opportunity to take out a damaged treasure and channeled all his energy into it. "Senior Sister, snap out of it! She's tricking you!"
"Cunning fiend..."
Lingxi Zhenren hurriedly performed the incantation again.
The Golden-winged Tiger was hit by the Black Pagoda, blood flowing from the corner of her brow, and the ferocity in her eyes intensified. She cackled, "Too late."
With a mighty swing of her palm, she tore the spiritual seal apart.
Her wings flapped vigorously, and her figure flashed in front of Lingxi Zhenren for the second time. This time, she went straight for her shoulder and neck, her sharp white fangs sinking into Lingxi's flesh.
"Get off me!"
Lingxi Zhenren frantically stopped the incantation, instinctively lashing out with her spiritual pressure towards the Golden-winged Tiger.
Boom! Boom!
Each burst of spiritual pressure caused the wild-looking body to crack open.
But the Golden-winged Tiger held her in place with her arms, biting down hard on her flesh, even flashing a wicked smile at Lingxi as she mumbled, "You taste so good."
Zila!
The sound of tearing flesh.
"Ah!"
Lingxi Zhenren let out a miserable scream, staring in terror at the tiger demoness in front of her. She watched as the other woman chewed and swallowed the flesh that had been transformed by her infant-stage cultivation, even wiping the corner of her mouth in satisfaction.
"She's insane! She's gone mad!"
Lingxi staggered backwards in fear.
"What kind of formation are you setting up?" Miaqing Hui asked as she controlled the Black Pagoda to aid her senior sister, suddenly turning to look at Tong Xinquan. He had taken so long, and yet he had only set up three restraining formations. Could they really kill the demoness just by restraining her?
"... "
Tong Xinquan, expressionless, controlled the golden threads at his fingertips. "Useless waste, quickly take her and leave."
