71: Chapter 71 The Wrath of the Demon King

"Was that cool?"

This question struck Huangfu Yunni and Huangfu Yunshang heavily in their hearts.

"So cool!"

A seemingly frail old man, trading blows in the beast horde, fighting bloody battles; that wild, violent aesthetic was heart-stopping.

Then, at the most critical moment, he unleashed his True Artifact, and with a laugh, instantly killed a Tier 2 Yao Beast comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Finally, pale and panting, he grinned, flashing a set of white teeth, looking like he was fishing for praise.

This damn sense of contrast!

Huangfu Yunni's pretty face, stained with blood, instantly flushed to the tips of her ears.

She wanted to say, "Have some dignity, old man," but her heart was racing out of control.

This old guy doesn't seem so annoying after all.

Huangfu Yunshang's heart was also pounding. Looking at Jiang Feng's slightly pale profile, and thinking back to his earlier comment, "The quality is poor," a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Dominating, protective, and fond of saying infuriating, flirtatious things.

What kind of person is he, really?

Before the sisters could recover from the immense shock, a green figure, carrying a refreshing herbal fragrance, appeared silently behind Jiang Feng.

"Husband, are you alright?"

Yao Shifei extended her slender hand and gently rested it on Jiang Feng's back.

She didn't even turn to look.

Her other fair hand casually waved backward.

Those Tier 1 Yao Beasts, which had just regained their courage and were attempting to surround them again, were all sent flying into the air by a surge of pure herbal True Qi.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the continuous explosions, they burst into mists of blood in mid-air, leaving not a single intact bone behind.

This display of effortless power was calm and composed.

The Huangfu Sisters simultaneously held their breath.

Compared to Yao Shifei's grace, the title of the "Twin Beauties of Huoyang Commandery" seemed so laughable. Seeing the two standing together, looking so well-matched, a strange sense of loss welled up in both their hearts.

At the same time, an extremely pure True Qi, carrying a warm, life-giving aura, flowed continuously from Yao Shifei's palm into Jiang Feng's body.

Jiang Feng's Dantian, which had been nearly drained from activating the True Artifact, was instantly replenished.

"I'm fine, it's just that this thing consumes too much," Jiang Feng let out a long breath, and his complexion quickly flushed with color.

Yao Shifei withdrew her hand, her gaze falling on the charred corpse of the Yao Beast wolf on the ground, then glanced at the Huangfu Sisters, who hadn't yet recovered, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"The golden crow bracelet is a Low Grade True Artifact; it has immense power but consumes the most spiritual energy. Husband, you actually used it to show off!"

She changed the subject and smiled playfully.

"But it was indeed quite cool."

Jiang Feng's face grew hot, and he coughed twice. "The situation was urgent."

Yao Shifei said nothing more and looked up at the stalemate in the air. "Husband, the Tier 2 Yao Beasts are mostly cleared; it is time for me to go set up the array."

Jiang Feng followed her gaze.

In the air, Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao was looking at him with an extremely complex expression.

That gaze held shock and wariness, but even more so, an unconcealable gratitude.

Clearly, Jiang Feng saving his two precious daughters had temporarily suppressed the displeasure and schemes in his heart.

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao nodded slightly toward Jiang Feng as a gesture of thanks.

"Go ahead, be careful."

Jiang Feng nodded, flipped his wrist, and stuffed an item into Yao Shifei's Storage Pouch.

"Take this, just in case."

A terrifying aura that even made Yao Shifei's heart skip a beat flashed and vanished.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock, her gaze toward Jiang Feng softening, and then she nodded heavily.

Yao Shifei was not a pretentious woman; she accepted that heavy concern, did not linger, and with a flicker of her figure, transformed into a green rainbow, flying into the air to join Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao, Patriarch Qin Hai, and the heads of the Zhou and Zhu families.

The five Foundation Establishment Stage experts hovered above the battlefield, their expressions grave.

Although the Tier 2 Yao Beasts on the field had all been slaughtered, the remaining low-tier Yao Beasts were no longer a threat.

But the true threat came from the edge of Black Mountain.

That Tier 3 Demon King, the Green-Silk White-Ash Python, with its massive body coiled on the ground, had not moved from the very beginning.

Those massive, cold, slit pupils watched everything indifferently, viewing all living beings as mere ants.

Without resolving this hidden danger, they could not safely enter the depths of Black Mountain to set up the array.

If they went to set up the array and the Demon King launched a full-scale attack, the entire Huoyang Commandery wouldn't last three breaths!

"Everyone, proceed according to the plan!"

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao's expression was resolute.

He violently formed hand seals, and the silver spear floating beside him let out a hum, the tip creating ripples of True Qi in front of him.

"Go!"

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao let out a furious shout, and the spear transformed into a silver streak of light tearing through the sky, carrying the immense True Qi of a Foundation Establishment Great Circle expert, shooting toward the Green-Silk White-Ash Python in the distance!

On the ground beneath the spear, the Tier 1 Yao Beasts didn't even have time to scream before they were crushed into puddles of flesh by the terrifying pressure carried by the spear!

This was Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao's full-power strike!

However, facing this earth-shattering spear strike, the Green-Silk White-Ash Python didn't even move.

It merely raised its massive snake head slowly, and in its cold, slit pupils, a flash of human-like disdain appeared.

"Hum!"

Just as the spear was about to pierce its skull, an invisible barrier of demonic power appeared out of thin air.

The silver spear stopped eerily three feet in front of it, its tip vibrating frantically, unable to advance even an inch further!

"Break for me!"

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao's face flushed red; he pushed his palms forward violently, and the True Qi within his body poured out without reservation.

"Crack!"

The barrier of demonic power let out a crisp sound, and the spear finally thrust forward again.

"Sshhh!"

A grating friction sound rang out; the spear tip scraped across the snake's head, sparks flying, merely ripping off two huge blue-white scales and leaving a shallow white mark.

This minor injury was completely insignificant to its hundred-meter-long body.

But this thoroughly enraged the high-and-mighty Demon King!

"Hiss!"

A deafening roar, no longer a warning, but pure rage and killing intent!

The sound waves turned into a physical shockwave that swept across the battlefield; countless low-tier Yao Beasts bled from their seven orifices and exploded to death directly from this roar!

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, that massive, hundred-meter-long snake body moved!

No slithering, no gliding!

The massive body just flickered, and it appeared out of thin air in front of Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao!

Too fast!

So fast that even Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao, a Foundation Establishment Great Circle expert, couldn't react!

A huge shadow enveloped him, and a foul-smelling gust of wind rushed toward him.

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao felt a chill run through his entire body; his soul almost left his body in terror.

"Go!"

In this split second of life and death, Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao's eyes were bloodshot with rage; he used all his True Qi and let out a heart-wrenching roar!

Before the sound had even faded, Patriarch Qin Hai, Yao Shifei, Clan Leader Zhou, and Clan Leader Zhu did not hesitate; they turned and transformed into four streaks of light, flying together toward the depths of Black Mountain!

The Green-Silk White-Ash Python seemed to realize this was a diversion, but the dignity of a Demon King could not be offended; its massive body flickered again, transforming into a blue-white streak of light, pursuing the four of them relentlessly!

Jiang Feng stood on the ground, watching the massive figure that nearly obscured half the sky pursuing the five of them at an incredible speed, his heart sinking heavily.

The speed of the Tier 3 Demon King far exceeded his estimates.

At this speed, the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators wouldn't be able to escape at all!
