"Boom..."
Before the Demon Clan General could swing his war sword, a toad the size of a small waterlon unexpectedly leaped out from nowhere, opened its mouth, and spat out a burst of star light, which struck directly at his face.
A chill ran down the spine of the Demon Clan General.
He felt threatened by the star light and, not daring to take it head-on, hurriedly dashed aside to evade.
Then, he found his legs entwined by several vines, which grew sharp thorns and tendrils trying to burrow into his flesh.
This reminded the Demon Clan General of the guards whose blood had been drained in the mine earlier; he imdiately recognized the danger and did not dare let the Soul Devouring Vine Demon's tendrils penetrate his body. Instead, he circulated his magic power, protected himself, and a wild Demon Fla rose up from his body, burning and destroying the vines that restricted him.
This was a unique ability of the Fla Demon Clan; any of them with sufficient strength could ignite their inner magic power, summoning Demon Fla for defense or attack. However, their attack range was limited – unlike Mages who could strike from a great distance.
After igniting the Demon Fla, the Fla Demon General tried to turn and flee. After all, he was not a Mage; fully igniting his inner magic power to summon Demon Fla would consu a great deal of energy, and he would not be able to sustain it for long.
All he wanted now was to escape and summon his subordinates to deal with these Demon Beasts that had appeared out of nowhere.
Boom...
The Fire Ape blocked his path. It too was engulfed in flas as it clashed with him; although the Demon Clan mber sent it flying backwards, smashing through a wall and tumbling before it steadied itself, it successfully stopped the Fla Demon General's escape.
With a whoosh, a frost attack shot from the end of the corridor and hit the Fla Demon General's back, crushing his Demon Fla and freezing a large area of his back.
This was Qin Feng activating a piece of Magic Jewelry on his wrist, utilizing the stored magic to attack this demon.
Seeing the Fla Demon General's back covered in ice, Qin Feng exclaid in surprise, not expecting the magic to be quite effective.
Imdiately after, he unleashed another surge of water.
Of course, this too was magic stored within the Magic Jewelry.
He wanted to test the power of these spells to better utilize them in battle later.
With a splash, a fierce torrent of water rushed forward.
Although the wave was powerful, it only forced the Fla Demon General back one step before he steadied himself again.
But before he could retaliate, he saw the Little Toad spray out a cold breath, freezing the layer of water around the Fla Demon General, encasing him in a wave-shaped block of ice.
Crack, crack, several light sounds followed, and the large block of ice shattered. The Fla Demon reignited Demon Fla across its body, breaking free from the ice.
"Which clan's Mage are you to dare attack ? Do you not know this is the territory of Fiery Fla City? Aren't you afraid the Lord City Lord will condemn you?"
The Fla Demon General glared furiously, staring daggers at Qin Feng.
"Enough noise!"
Qin Feng snorted coldly, not bothering to respond. He lifted his Magic Wand and activated the magic stored within the Demon Core at its tip.
Boom, a series of blood-colored lightning bolts burst forth, striking the Fla Demon General with the swiftness of thunder, once again disrupting his Demon Fla.
This was one of the most powerful pieces of Magic Equipnt he owned; the Demon Core at the tip of the Magic Wand contained the Thunder Chain spell of the eighth-level Lightning Demon Leopard. Once activated, it could transform into a string of lightning, its power equivalent to the full-force strike of a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator.
Of course, Magic Equipnt had a limited duration of use; after being used, it had to wait for the magic power within the Demon Core to recover before it could be utilized again.
Qin Feng thought that if he could get an Artifact Refiner to craft a miniature Spirit Gathering Array on the Demon Core, it might recover the magic power more quickly. To use it once and then wait a day or two for it to recover would be far too limited.
The Fla Demon General, struck by the Thunder Chain, trembled violently with smoke rising from his head, fury coursing through him, ready to fight Qin Feng to the death.
But before he could recover from the trembling, several vines wrapped around his body.
Along with the vines, the Ruyi Golden Snake appeared as if it were a shadow.
Just as the Fla Demon General intended to do as before, igniting Demon Fla to burn away the vines, he felt a sharp pain and looked down to see his legs had been severed by the Ruyi Golden Snake.
The jet-black snake kept slithering frantically over the general's body, climbing toward his upper body.
Thump, the Fla Demon General with his legs cut off fell to the ground. In terror, he stretched out his hands attempting to grasp the Ruyi Golden Snake.
Indeed, he did catch the snake, but its fine, raised scales tore through his palms, unable to restrain the snake's body. By the ti it slithered to the general's neck, it wound gently around, decapitating the Fla Demon General's head.
Thus fell all three of the Demon Clan's high-ranking masters overseeing the Demon Crystal Veins.
Yet Qin Feng did not pause. The Spiritual Vulture in mid-air had already inford him that two Demon Clan guards had mounted their Demon Fla Horses and were galloping towards Fiery Fla City to give away their location.
So, without any hesitation, he slayed all the Demon Clan guards outside the mine.
As for the Demons who fled into the mine, he paid them no heed – as long as they did not co out and cause trouble for him.
Afterward, he took out an Array Plate and nine Array Flags and placed them according to the terrain.
Although he didn't know much about Arrays, he could still use a pre-crafted Array Plate like this one.
This was a Nine Palace Illusion Array, a thod he had prepared specifically before leaving. Once set up, it could envelop an area of a thousand zhang within the Illusion Realm of the Nine Palace Illusion Array. Without knowledge of how to navigate the Nine Palace Array, unless one could forcefully break through the Array's enchantnt, they would be trapped to death within it.
Qin Feng placed several top-quality Spirit Stones into the Array Plate without activating it, to avoid alerting the enemy prematurely.
He planned to start the Array once the Demon Clan reinforcents arrived.
After setting up, Qin Feng re-entered the building next to the mine, intending to loot the resources inside.
There was at least one Magic Guide Master and two Demon Clan Generals stationed here, they should have so valuable possessions on them.
Furthermore, the Demon Crystals mined from the caves were only transported to Fiery Fla City once a month, and although he did not know when the last shipnt occurred, there should be so accumulation.
Qin Feng returned to the mage's laboratory, after all, the three Demon Clan experts had been slain by him here.
First, he collected the weapons and equipnt of the two generals, then he also gathered the mage's Magic Wand and other Magic Equipnt.
He felt that the items obtained from this mage were quite good, beyond a Magic Wand there were actually two Magic Rings and a Magic Necklace, all of which were triggerable Magic Equipnt.
After he had stripped the house of everything, he found thousands of unpolished Demon Crystals of varying sizes in the storeroom.
These were raw crystals directly harvested from the mine, uneven in size and shape; Demon Clan mbers usually did not use such raw Demon Crystals for transactions.
However, Qin Feng didn't care.
He simply needed to feed these raw crystals into the Demon Refining Pot as energy for its operation.
Once he finished looting everything, he sat next to the Array Plate to ditate and rest for a mont. Then, he finally heard the sound of hurried travel from afar.
It was the sound of Demon Beasts rapidly running on the ground, among them were several Demon Fla Horses, but many more were various Demon Beasts of notable war power, and even mages riding Flying Magical Beasts who had flown overhead before the others.
However, Qin Feng had already rged with the Ruyi Golden Snake and hid himself in the shadow. The mage could not see him, only the ruined buildings and the corpses of hundreds of Demon Clan guards.
Out of caution, the Demon Clan Mage on the Flying Magical Beast did not land imdiately but circled overhead a few tis, waiting for all the Demon Clan mbers to arrive before slowly descending and joining the group of Demon Clan experts in the area.
Qin Feng saw that everyone had entered the range of the Array, then injected his True Yuan into the Array Plate to activate the Nine Palace Illusion Array.
As the Array Plate connected with the nine Array Flags, an ethereal illusion of a Nine Palace rose up and enveloped all the Demon Clan within it.
"What's going on?"
The two Magic Guide Masters, beings of keen spiritual power, were the first to sense that sothing was off. They looked around but discovered nothing abnormal.
The rest of the Demon Clan experts looked at each other, puzzled about what had happened.
However, seeing that there were no hidden assailants launching a surprise attack, they relaxed and proceeded.
Just that, as they walked on, the Demons found sothing amiss.
It seed that the more they walked, the fewer their companions beca.
Until at last, most Demon Clan mbers found themselves utterly alone.
The reason I say most is that next to the Magic Guide Master who had the Flying Mount, there was a Witch Warrior of graceful stature and vibrant spirit.
"Alia, thank goodness you're still protecting ," said the mage with so relief. "We must have been bewitched by sothing, leading us to separate from the others. You must protect well, and when we return, I'll give you a piece of Magic Equipnt."
"Oh, that's great!"
The lively Alia, the Witch Warrior, drew the oddly shaped crescent-like Demon Sword from her waist and approached the mage with a face full of joy, "Don't worry, sir, with here, you definitely won't survive."
"That's great, uh..."
Before he could finish, he saw a blade protruding from his chest.
"Why, why... did you betray Lord City Lord?"
The mage wore a look of disbelief, wanting to turn his head to see the female warrior beside him, but the intense pain in his chest sapped his strength.
Because the crescent-like Demon Sword was twisted around by the other party, completely shattering his heart.
"You're dead and still talking nonsense."
Li Miaozhen, not wanting to take any chances, withdrew the sword and with a swing of her hand severed the mage's head; she even exhaled a Golden Wind to scatter the mage's spiritual power, preventing any chance of him lingering on.
"Hiss..."
The Flying Magical Beast subdued by the mage opened its mouth and let out a shriek, about to launch poison fog to attack the witch who killed its master.
But it was t with a kick from Li Miaozhen, which not only forced back the poison fog into its mouth but the imnse strength also toppled the beast to the ground.
Before it could rise and attempt to flee, Li Miaozhen stamped on its head, crushing its skull against the ground.
anwhile, the beautiful crescent-like Demon Sword hovered less than half an inch from its eyes, petrifying the sowhat intelligent Demon Beast so much so that it dared not move.
This was a Two-Legged Flying Dragon, with so Demon Dragon Bloodline within it, notable flying speed, and Poison Elent Magic, making it quite powerful among seventh-level Demon Beasts.
Of course, the main reason was its ability to carry people in flight, making it quite beloved by Demon Clan mages.
Li Miaozhen thought it over and decided not to kill this Demon Beast. Instead, she flipped the hilt and knocked the beast unconscious with a blow to the back of its head, then stored it in a Spiritual Beast Bag.
She suddenly felt that it might be better to disguise herself as a Female Mage because with a Magic Robe to cover her, she didn't have to expose herself as much as before and wouldn't have to worry about that certain individual's roving eyes upon seeing her.
This Two-Legged Flying Dragon could temporarily serve as her Riding Tool. After all, once the job at Fiery Fla City was done, she intended to leave and explore deeper into the Demon Domain.
As for the equipnt?
She turned to glance at the mage she had just killed and shook her head with so disdain.
Forget it; she rembered that there were so female mages at the City Lord Mansion. Later, she could 'borrow' a few Magic Robes from them, and that would suffice.
