“It really is you!” Bing Wuqing took in a deep, sharp breath as she tried to calm the roiling emotions deep down inside her. She forced herself to relax. Her clear eyes were brimming with stupefaction and suspicion.
The black dog snickered, and stood up like a human with its forelegs wrapped around its chest. In an insolent tone, it said, “Yes, am I not the Sacred Kylin? You will never forget for all eternity!”
The Sacred... The Sacred Kylin?
Several pairs of eyes that were filled with shock were pinned on the black dog as they examined it from head to toe with asuring looks.
“What are you lot looking at? Yes, it’s ! I am the Sacred Kylin of Jiuzhou. Am I a rare sight to you?” The black dog looked down at them with a pair of dark nostrils.
Han Fei and the others were speechless.
“Which freaking part of you actually resembles a Kylin?” they thought to themselves.
“Humph!” As though it couldn’t stand the suspicious looks any longer, the black dog’s body flickered with a black glint and expanded all of a sudden, becoming 30 feet tall. At the sa ti, its physical form underwent a drastic change. Its skull kept changing shape, transforming it into a creature with a pair of horns. The horns were ferocious-looking and peculiar. Countless scales the size of a fist glimred on the surface of its body, making it look like it was a black suit of armor made of tough scales.
In the blink of an eye, the dog had turned from an insignificant black dog into a Kylin that looked the way it was depicted in the myth!
The black dog really was a Kylin. It was the Sacred Kylin!
They were all overwheld with confusion at this mont in ti. The black dog that they had been fighting with all their courage and intelligence and risking their lives to defeat had been a God all along!
It was really a God of Jiuzhou!
Many of their doubts had now been clarified.
They had wondered how did the dog had possessed the divine ability to modify the conditions of the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, easily transforming this place from a training ground into a demonic realm. Now they knew the answer. It was because the dog had created the Glittering Jewel Wonderland in the first place!
They couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded.
As a God of Jiuzhou, why wasn’t it helping the challengers? Instead, why did it transform the Wonderland intentionally, continuously weakening the Jiuzhou continent right up until today? Was it because the Gods of Jiuzhou were the sa kind of deities as the Glittering Jewel Demonic God, who regarded all mortal lives as petty insects that could be slaughtered at will?
As the thought occurred to them, the people felt their hearts go cold.
“Hey hey hey, what kind of looks are you giving ? Why are you not worshipping now that I’m standing right before you? All of you are on guard against instead?” The black dog, no, the Sacred Kylin, glowered at them with orange eyes as it ranted at them in dissatisfaction.
“Black dog, shouldn’t you explain everything you’ve done through all these years to us first?” Su Yu asked calmly.
“I’m not a dog, I’m the Sacred Kylin...”
Su Yu interrupted it. “It’s hard for us to believe a black dog that was trying to kill us all just a while ago, and yet is calling itself a God of Jiuzhou right now.”
“I’m not a dog, I’m the Sacred...”
“Although I have so ideas about so of your deeds, the others might not have any idea. If you don’t wish for us to take the enemy’s side, you’d better make yourself very clear, black dog.”
“I’m not...”
“We’re running out of patience. Black dog, cut the long story short.”
“I...”
Su Yu frowned. “What are you really trying to say? You’re rambling!”
Staring at Su Yu, the Sacred Kylin’s huge eyes were filled with flas. Grinding its teeth, it said, “Nothing! I said I’m the Sacred Kylin!”
Su Yu looked at it as if he was looking at a moron. “Aren’t you the black dog?”
The Sacred Kylin kept grinding its teeth, holding back the urge to tear this fellow into pieces there and then. Putting on a stern look, the Sacred Kylin sighed, “Killing you was saving you.”
What? If these words hadn’t co out of the Sacred Kylin’s mouth, they would have thought it was a delusion.
Just when they were completely befuddled, Bing Wuqing nonchalantly said, “It’s correct! Killing you, in fact, was saving you!”
Neither of the Gods explained why this would be the case, as though it was an enormous secret that no one knew about.
“The Jiuzhou continent is a world I built single-handedly, and the trillions of mortal lives are the descendants that evolved from my godly spirit. If I kill you, it will be as though I’m destroying my very own godly spirit. It’s no different from committing suicide! Unless the circumstances made it necessary, how could I bring myself to commit such an act? It just isn’t a convenient ti for to reveal to you the reason behind it. When the ti is right, you’ll be inford.” The Sacred Kylin’s tone of voice was very somber and resolute.
Han Fei and the others were in partial disbelief. Killing them was saving them? It was such an absurd saying, and there was no clear explanation to back it up, so they found it very hard to believe.
“That was all that I had to say. You can believe , or you can add fuel to the enemy’s fire. It’s up to you.” The Sacred Kylin exposed its own weakness as it said those words. It didn’t seem to have absolute confidence in its ability to defeat Bing Wuqing!
Su Yu’s turned his eyes away as he sank into deep thoughts, while Han Fei and the rest began to ponder their situation as well.
Circumstances had changed. At this point in ti, they still had a chance to turn back.
Bing Wuqing didn’t care about their opinions at all. She was staring at the Sacred Kylin. In an icy, solemn tone she said, “I never expected you to still be alive, leaving a godly spirit behind in the dungeon! If only I’d known it earlier, I would have destroyed both your body and your soul way before I was sealed, eradicating your godly spirit altogether!”
The Sacred Kylin snorted and laughed coldly. “If you’d had the power to kill back then, you wouldn’t have ended up being sealed here by .”
“That was your underhand sche! You spent a few thousand years preparing this prison, and yet I was sealed here by you before you died because of my slight carelessness!” Bing Wuqing was full of resentnt and hatred.
“What a joke,” the Sacred Kylin retorted scornfully. “How could I not be in full gear when you ca to my territory and absorbed the power of belief? You expected to sit back while you beca a God and ca to take my life with your demonic influence?”
So that was the story.
“Fine, I will collect this debt from your cavern world! Right here right now, what are you planning on doing now that you’ve shown up? What can you do to ?” Bing Wuqing unleashed boundless Mortal Fairy Strength. Her murderous aura was shocking. “You’re rely a remnant whiff of godly spirit, with power weaker than an All Creations. Killing you and the four other yard masters could also destroy the seal, and release my Godly Demon’s Power!”
What? Its power was weaker than an All Creations?
Gu Taixu and the others had been constantly changing their minds, and they now began calculating matters all over again. The respective chances of victory of the two parties were rather obvious.
“I have him.” The Sacred Kylin placed a paw on Su Yu’s shoulder ungraciously.
Su Yu’s face darkened. “How could you drag into the pit like this?”
Him? Bing Wuqing’s lips twitched into a cold sneer. “Him alone?”
No matter how excellent Su Yu was, he stood no chance of defeating a Mortal Fairy.
“Hehe, of course, it won’t be enough, but I’m here too, aren’t I?” The Sacred Kylin laughed strangely, rolling its eyeballs, which had malice lurking in them.
What? Bing Wuqing frowned a little, a feeling of foreboding creeping into her. “What are you trying to do?”
“Tsk tsk! As a royal of the demon race, how could you ask such a despicable question? Of course I’m not gonna ss with you! I wanna ss with them!” The Sacred Kylin pointed at Gu Taixu and his mates lecherously.
When it was done speaking, Su Yu felt his body lighten as the Mortal Fairy’s Strength which had been imposed on him disappeared suddenly. However, Bing Wuqing’s body went stiff. She was totally unable to budge, and her Mortal Fairy aura was gradually subsiding.
She looked over at the four floating yard masters, slightly surprised and taken aback. “You... you can directly command the four great seals!”
Obviously, this scene had far exceeded Bing Wuqing’s expectations.
“Hold on! Is it because you have crafted yourself into an artifact spirit?” Bing Wuqing seed to have recalled sothing. She was in utter shock. “You’re so ruthless! You actually did that to yourself!”
Dividing the godly spirit into independent entities by force was equivalent to a martial artist dividing himself into two halves. The pain and agony involved were beyond description. Even the demon race, who were renowned for their strong, intrepid physiques, did not dare to simply attempt such inhuman, agonizing tactics.
“Hehe, how could I not prepare a strategy before sealing a Demonic God?” the black dog chuckled.
Bing Wuqing recovered her composure from the imnse shock, and said to Gu Taixu and the others, “It can only restrain for half an hour. If you don’t wish to die, then seize the Sacred Kylin for !”
Gu Taixu and the others had deep frowns on their faces. The seal could only last for half an hour? Once the ti was up, they still wouldn’t be able to escape death.
“Brat, the heavy responsibility of the continent falls on your shoulder now.” The Sacred Kylin tapped Su Yu on the shoulder with a grin.
Su Yu shot it a look, and replied indifferently, “There are people I care about in Jiuzhou. I don’t need you to remind about that, and I won’t let the Demonic God have it all her way. The thing is, how long can you stand it?”
“For a long ti!”
“Why are your paws shivering then?”
“Oh, it’s my epilepsy acting up.”
Su Yu was speechless.
The Sacred Kylin appeared relaxed on the surface, but in fact, the exertion from manipulating the yard masters to seal Bing Wuqing was taking its toll on it.
In less than half an hour, Bing Wuqing would be able to free herself. Once freed, she would destroy all five of the yard masters at once, shattering the Glittering Jewel Wonderland. Bing Wuqing would re-seize her power of Demonic God, and the Glittering Jewel Demonic God would re-erge in the mortal world.
The consequences were clear!
“It seems like I don’t have to persuade you anymore,” Su Yu sighed.
With their wisdom and cleverness, why did they need to be told how to choose by an outsider?
Han Fei said dispassionately, “We don’t have a choice.”
Gu Taixu, Bi Lingtian, and Han Fei were all preparing their powers in silence, in an attempt to seize the Sacred Kylin!
“Co on, then.” Su Yu sighed helplessly and put his palms together. Brilliant sun rays kept erupting from between his palms, gradually shrouding Su Yu’s figure. From afar, it looked like a bright sun was rising from behind Su Yu.
A fight was bound to happen after all!
One party represented the Glittering Jewel Demonic God, and another party represented the Sacred Kylin.
“I’m really sorry!” Han Fei said coldly. Her figure flickered suddenly, leaving behind a remnant shadow on her spot after tearing the space apart.
Gu Taixu and Bi Lingtian also struck at the sa ti.
However, the ultimate collision they had expected did not take place. Instead, three shadows flickered in Bing Wuqing’s vicinity, and three powerful blows hit Bing Wuqing’s sealed body simultaneously.
With a dull whimper, Bing Wuqing’s body trembled. Her face was flushed red, and stark, scarlet blood trickled from the corners of her mouth. Even Mortal Fairies could sustain injuries in a situation in which they had no proactive defense.
“You chose him, just as expected.” Bing Wuqing was unruffled, as though she had predicted their betrayal earlier.
She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. When she opened her eyes abruptly, a dreadful murderous intent could be seen in them. “But it’s a pity that you have made the wrong choice!”
Buzz!
A blood-red remnant shadow streaked across the air, aiming at Han Fei and the others.
Their faces froze for a fraction of a second, and they tried to fend it off by force.
Consequently, the three shadows retreated into the distance, and several dull, heavy thuds could be heard.
Han Fei barely managed to stop herself, and she stared at the blood-red shadow that had struck them with iciness in her eyes. “Demon Devouring Emperor, do you really want to serve the evildoer and stand against the Jiuzhou continent?”
As the outstanding elites of Jiuzhou, they would not take the enemy’s side, especially now that the Sacred Kylin had appeared.
Judging from the brief fight just now, Bing Wuqing could have been injured despite the seal. This ant that she wasn’t unassailable anymore!
Losing the Kylin’s Ruined Horn surely rendered them incapable of thoroughly destroying Bing Wuqing’s godly spirit, but half an hour was still enough ti in which to severely injure her!
Once Bing Wuqing was badly wounded, the threat she posed would be marginally relieved.
Hence, they had pretended to comply with her commands but were, in fact, joining hands to assault her.
Too bad there was a presence that they failed to foresee.
“Hehe, what’s good about the Jiuzhou continent? What could it provide with? The Lord Glittering Jewel Demonic God can give the paramount power of a Mortal Fairy. Could Jiuzhou do the sa?” The Demon Devouring Emperor had a cruel, heartless smile on his face.
Han Fei teased him. “Do you really believe in a promise made by a demon? They are the ones who created inner demons, and there’s no guarantee to their promises.”
“Humph, how could my master sign the ordinary Book of the Heart’s Oaths with ? That’s sothing only you petty and lowly people would use for a transaction. I am the one whom my master truly appreciates. With , she signed the Demonic God’s Contract!”
The Demonic God’s Contract? Before they could make sense of it, the Demon Devouring Emperor had turned into a broken streak of red, aiming straight at the three of them.
The battle just now was enough to gauge the disparity between them. The Demon Devouring Emperor alone could suppress them all! With him hindering their efforts, there was no way they could lay another finger on Bing Wuqing.
They were just deciding whether to retreat when all of a sudden, boundless sun rays that filled the entire heavens and earth rapidly enveloped them from behind.
The glaring sunshine rendered them unable to open their eyes. They could only vaguely make out a magnificent figure with a silver mask taking control of the imnse great sun, fighting the Demon Devouring Emperor valiantly.
Thump! Thump!
The powerful Demon Devouring Emperor took two steps back, his face full of shock. “Fairy-level cultivation technique, Stage Two Top Class! It’s hard to imagine that you’re just a ninth-grade fairy!”
Han Fei and the others looked awed as well. Fairy-level cultivation technique, Stage Two Top Class even? Such tendency to enlightennt was totally incompatible with his cultivation.
However, they were glad to see Su Yu was able to hold the Demon Devouring Emperor back.
“Leave him to . You guys decide what to do with Bing Wuqing,” Su Yu said without turning back. His eyes were fixed on the Demon Devouring Emperor. “Besides, Bi Lingtian, your Ancient Bronze Corpses should be put to use now. Isn’t this what you brought them to the Glittering Jewel Wonderland for?”
At the edge of the mausoleum, 80 All Creations Bronze Corpses lay motionless, awaiting command.
Although their attacking power wasn’t as strong as that of Bi Lingtian or the other two, they stood out in terms of sheer numbers. When combined, their power wasn’t any weaker than the three of them.
“I understand. It’s a critical mont of life and death, and I can’t keep them to myself anymore.” Bi Lingtian looked at everyone. “Show all your aces. Don’t wait till it’s too late! You might not have a chance to use them again in this life.”
Once he had finished speaking, he took out an eerie bell and shook it non-stop. The blood-curdling sound of ghosts sobbing reverberated through the air.
All the gloomy, eccentric energy in the world intensified as dark winds blew and howled.
The 80 pairs of tightly-shut eyes opened abruptly. The Bronze Corpses tore open a seam in the space and strode over to Bing Wuqing, attacking her with savage, brutal force.
Gu Taixu hesitated for a mont, before taking a deep breath and retrieving a stretch of pine branch. He instilled Mortal Fairy’s Strength into the pine branch, a tactic which Su Yu was very familiar with.
A harsh light flickered. Gu Taixu stabbed Bing Wuqing’s forehead with the pine branch, and drove it deep into her skull. Trendous Mortal Fairy’s Strength gushed into Bing Wuqing’s body rapidly, with a force that could revive the dead, devastating everything inside her.
Han Fei wasn’t selfish either. With a flip of her hand, she groped inside the space ring and pulled out a pitch-black skull which was surging was turbulent demonic energy and emitting torrential, spectacular demonic power. It was the skeletal remain of the previous Supre Heavenly Demon Faction Master, the relic of a Revered Mortal Fairy! It contained extraordinary Mortal Fairy Strength!
Three different kinds of supre power struck all at once. Bing Wuqing’s body trembled very vigorously, and a mouthful of golden, uncanny blood spilled from her mouth. On her placid face, intense fury finally took over. “All of you must die!!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if answering her command, the entire Glittering Jewel Wonderland rumbled ceaselessly. It seed to be at the brink of falling apart.
Han Fei and the other two who were in close proximity to the demon seed to have sustained severe injuries. Blood spurted from their mouths and they were sent flying backward, their faces full of dread and shock.
It didn’t seem that she was still being restrained. It was almost the case that the Demonic God had freed herself!
Han Fei’s mouth was full of blood. She clenched her teeth.”Don’t be afraid! Her injuries have worsened, and the attacks have been effective! We still stand a chance!”
The three of them sprang up and continued their attacks on the beleaguered Bing Wuqing with complete fearlessness.
anwhile, Su Yu was officially engaged in a fight with the second-ranked Starry Sky Elite, the Demon Devouring Emperor.
