Chapter 261: Expected Crisis, Unexpected Person
“Another day?” Ning Yujie’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Yes, another day,” Huo Yunjie nodded slightly, “Our group still has tasks to attend to; we must hurry back to the Sect to report and can’t stay long.”
“At least have a al before you go, it’s on ,” Ning Yujie said with a beaming smile.
“There’s really no need…” Huo Yunjie began to refuse.
But the next mont, Wang Ping’an’s stomach growled loudly, clearly hungry, leaving Huo Yunjie with no choice but to say,
“Then thank you very much.”
…
The population of Haijin City wasn’t large, but the cuisine was quite good.
A luxury restaurant.
Ning Yujie, Huo Yunjie, and the others sat around a table, clinking glasses and chatting while eating; laughter constantly broke out as they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
An hour later, they each went their separate ways.
Atop the city walls of Haijin City.
Watching the retreating figures of Huo Yunjie and his companions, Ning Yujie’s smile remained intact, yet the expression on her face slowly turned eerie.
“Miss, shall we not give chase?”
A maid asked expressionlessly.
“No need.”
Ning Yujie waved her hand dismissively and stood quietly on top of the city wall, unmoving, just facing the wind. The skin on her face distorted due to the strong wind, but she gently smoothed it out with her palm, her smile appearing quite sinister.
In the vicinity of Haijin City, nurous figures set out, encircling towards Huo Yunjie and his companions, all wearing vicious smiles on their faces.
“Catch up to them!”
“The Gold-fused Fallen Moon Bead will be ours!”
…
In the sky above a mountain valley.
Huo Yunjie and his group were flying.
“We will definitely be ambushed by soone shortly, especially by those Demi-transford Demon Beasts like Fatty Tiger, who certainly harbor resentnt in their hearts. We must be careful,” Huo Yunjie said.
Murder for treasure was a common occurrence in the Cultivation World.
They were ready for battle when they left the city.
“Heh heh heh, four little guys, no matter which Sect or Clan you belong to, without Fairy Ning by your side to protect you, you’re all going to die today!”
The first roadblock appeared.
It was a tiger-headed strongman, sowhat similar to Fatty Tiger, but only just entered the ranks of the Demi-transford Demon Beasts, nowhere near as powerful as Fatty Tiger.
“With just you? Are you sure you’re not here to seek death? If Fatty Tiger himself ca over, he might be able to hold us back for a while,” Long Tianxing instantly turned into his Dragon Transformation Form.
“Fatty Tiger is in ditation and can’t co, but who said he’s the only one?”
Several figures rushed out from the dense forest nearby—all Demi-transford Demon Beasts. Together, they could even hold their own against soone in the Elent Gathering Realm.
“Dog-headed Creatures, Pig-headed Persons, Tiger-Headed n, Wolf-Headed n—a total of four Demi-transford Demon Beasts, one for each of us,” Huo Yunjie drew his Cold Light Sword.
“Hey, no, I can’t beat them!” Wang Ping’an’s body trembled.
“Junior Brother Wang, I’ll be in charge of defense, you just heap praise on them, heap it on till they die,” Shi Lei winked at Wang Ping’an.
Then, he took out the Mysterious Turtle Shield and also cast the defensive spell “Mystic Shell Shield”; his entire defense was now on par with that of the Demi-transford Demon Beasts.
“Right, we still have our Identity Tokens,” Wang Ping’an was about to take out the Sect Disciple Token, but was stopped by Huo Yunjie’s hand.
“If our identities are exposed, I’m afraid these Demons will be scared silly, and then we won’t be able to enjoy a hearty battle,” Huo Yunjie said.
It was precisely because the Misty Sect was so famous that he didn’t reveal his identity in Haijin City.
Otherwise, these Demon Beasts wouldn’t dare to co.
“The battle with Junior Brother Long was greatly beneficial, but the pressure was still not enough; next, I want to fight two at once!”
Huo Yunjie waved his Cold Light Sword and charged at the Tiger-Headed Man and the Wolf-Headed Man.
“The audacity for a re peak of Qi Refinent Layer Nine to challenge the two of us, the arrogance!” The Tiger-Headed Man roared, turning into a three-ter-tall tiger, and his weighty paw thunderously ca crashing down.
“Wooo!”
The Wolf-Headed Man transford into a Giant Wolf, also launching an attack.
Huo Yunjie imdiately used the “Water Radiance Technique” to increase his strength by one tenth, combining it with the movent spell “Wind Spirit Step”, and by augnting his movents with Divine Sense Power, he was sent flying by the two Demi-transford Demon Beasts, yet without sustaining any injuries.
“Strange, why do they always miss the vital points?” The tiger furrowed its brow.
Its claws were fast, but every ti it was about to hit Huo Yunjie, he narrowly managed to dodge.
The Giant Wolf was the sa, utterly unable to hit Huo Yunjie.
“Phew! Good thing I had Divine Sense Power for fine-tuning, otherwise, I would have been hit long ago, but this is really thrilling.”
Huo Yunjie’s breathing beca more rapid.
He was no match for the two Demi-transford Demon Beasts, but by enhancing himself with Divine Sense Power, he easily avoided their attacks.
In this thrilling battle, he felt the bottleneck becoming looser and looser.
“This rotten kid has actually gotten the better of old pig! Hurry up and help!” On the other side, the pig-headed person was engaged in fierce combat with Long Tianxing, already scratched by sharp claws and covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.
“Stupid pig!” the dog-headed creature scoffed.
Glancing around, its gaze locked onto Wang Ping’an and Shi Lei, who were shielded by a mystic shield and spiritual artifact; a sinister grin split its face, revealing sharp canine teeth.
“Hiss!” Wang Ping’an felt a chill run down his spine as he was scrutinized.
“Kid, you look so tender and smooth, I wonder what you’d taste like when chewed.” The dog-headed creature licked its chops, approaching with a nacing laugh.
“You four Demonic Beast brothers are valiant and extraordinary, wise beyond asure, a sight that blooms flowers and wins hearts. So, could you please let us go?”
Wang Ping’an began to flatter shalessly.
The dog-headed creature shook with laughter, saying, “Kid, you think flattering us will save your life? Let tell you straight, it’s utterly useless!”
Wang Ping’an hurriedly clasped his fists, “Four Demonic Beast brothers, I wish to take you as my masters!”
“Even recognizing as your father won’t help!” the dog-headed creature jeered.
Shi Lei whispered into Wang Ping’an’s ear, “Junior brother, your ‘toxic milk’ doesn’t seem potent enough. Look at the strength of these beasts; it looks like we can’t beat them.”
“This…” Wang PIng’an began to panic.
Rip! A grating sound erupted.
All eyes turned to the source of the noise, only to see Long Tianxing’s claws piercing through the pig-headed person’s throat, tearing him in half.
“This!”
Everyone was shocked.
Had Long Tianxing actually taken down a Demi-transford Demon Beast?
Could he be that fierce?
“Could it be, my toxic flattery worked?” Wang Ping’an blinked his eyes.
Long Tianxing dropped the pig-headed person to the ground, his eyes blood-red. His claws had taken on a faint silver glow, becoming stronger than before.
“How odd, my strength just increased!”
Long Tianxing himself was also astonished.
Focused on the battle, he had felt his bloodline boiling; shortly thereafter, his claws began to glow and sharpened unbelievably, easily piercing the pig-headed person’s defenses.
“Could this be a sign that the Dragon Transformation Form is about to enter the second stage?”
Long Tianxing thought to himself.
Looking over the entire Dragonfolk Clan, only the Son of the Dragon God from the past had managed to enter the second stage, shedding his skin to beco a silver True Dragon, with combat power increasing geotrically.
As for himself, entering the second stage would not be easy.
“Kill him!”
The tiger-headed man gave up on Huo Yunjie and attacked Long Tianxing.
“You’re seeking death!” Huo Yunjie seized the opportunity, his sword launched the wolf-headed man into the air, and he quickly executed the Sword Drawing Technique, instantly gathering half his strength before swiftly drawing his sword.
Rip! A dazzling sword light streaked across the sky.
The tiger-headed man couldn’t dodge in ti and was split in two, plumting to the ground, stunning the remaining wolf-headed and dog-headed creatures.
“Run for it!”
The wolf-headed and dog-headed creatures didn’t dare to fight back, turning tail to flee.
“Thinking of fleeing? Too late!”
Huo Yunjie targeted the escaping Demi-transford Demon Beasts, gathering all his remaining strength to once again perform the Sword Drawing Technique.
The brilliant sword light swept through the void, radiating splendor.
“No!”
The two Demi-transford Demon Beasts cried out just before being bisected by the sharp sword aura, losing all signs of life.
Huo Yunjie, too, was drained of strength and started to fall toward the ground.
Long Tianxing quickly flew to catch him, joining up with Shi Lei and Wang Ping’an.
“Senior brother, give two Rejuvenation Pills.”
Wang Ping’an took out the elixirs.
After Huo Yunjie swallowed them, his complexion improved significantly.
“Brother Huo, good to see you’re alright!” Just then, a charming and familiar voice ca from a distance.
Everyone turned to see the newcor—it was Ning Yujie.
What was she doing here?
Curiosity arose among the four.
