585: Chapter 585 Flower Saint's Clone

As Tang Chao brought out that peach blossom branch, the energy in the field suddenly fell silent!

Immediately after...

Buzz!

The peach blossom trembled slightly, a light appeared, and then a figure slowly stepped out.

It was a handsome man.

With his appearance, the Fifth Elder's power instantly vanished without a trace.

Tang Chao bowed respectfully to the man: "Disciple greets Master!"

The Flower Saint!

The newcomer was indeed the Flower Saint!

Seeing him appear, the Fifth Elder's gaze couldn't help but turn solemn.

The Flower Saint glanced at the situation in the field, then his gaze fell on the Fifth Elder, and he spoke with a light laugh: "The Evil Demon Clan is quite domineering, jumping up everywhere."

The Fifth Elder stared at him, the solemnity in his eyes gradually dissipating as he said indifferently: "So it's just an avatar."

The Flower Saint before him was merely an avatar, not the original body.

If the opponent's true body had descended, he would have had no choice but to run.

The Flower Saint smiled and said: "You can choose not to run. After all, my true body is already on the way."

The Fifth Elder narrowed his eyes and pointed at Fang Bai: "This seat can let your disciple go, but this boy, you must hand him over to me."

"In your dreams!"

Tang Chao jumped up: "You damn Evil Demon Clan, if you want to touch Brother Fang, you'll have to ask me if I agree first!"

The Fifth Elder's face darkened.

Normally, if such an ant dared to provoke him like this, he would have slapped him to death long ago!

But since the other party was the Flower Saint's person, there was nothing he could do to him.

The Fifth Elder simply ignored him and looked at the Flower Saint.

He was calculating in his heart whether he had a chance to destroy this avatar.

Hearing this, a mocking smile curled on the Flower Saint's lips: "Are you saying that for the sake of your face, this Saint should release him?"

Without waiting for the Fifth Elder to speak, the Flower Saint spoke again: "Truly... ridiculous!"

He used action to prove his answer. He plucked a single petal from the peach blossom, held it between his thumb and index finger, and flicked it gently!

That peach blossom petal flew towards the Fifth Elder.

The petal, seemingly light as air, actually tore through the surrounding space the moment it flew out, creating faint spatial ripples. The petal was surrounded by a lustrous glow, looking soft and beautiful, yet it contained a terrifying power that made heaven and earth tremble.

The power of a Quasi-Saint!

Ordinary people couldn't understand it at all; they only knew that this flying peach blossom was extraordinary!

The Fifth Elder's expression changed abruptly. Sensing the terrifying power contained within the petal, he didn't dare to underestimate it. Evil black gas surged around him as his hands quickly formed seals. Layers upon layers of black light shields condensed in front of him, and monstrous demonic energy transformed into a hideous demonic shadow that roared as it blocked his front.

The moment the Flower Saint acted, he understood that he was not the other's match!

This fellow's avatar contained at least the power of a Fourth-Rotation Quasi-Saint!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wherever the peach blossom petal passed, the thick black light shields were like paper, shattering layer by layer. The demonic energy was instantly purified by the power of the fragrance flowing from the petal, and the hideous demonic shadow let out a shrill wail before vanishing into thin air.

"Not good!"

The Fifth Elder's pupils shrank, and he only had time to let out a cry of alarm.

The petal's momentum did not decrease, landing directly on the Fifth Elder's chest.

The Fifth Elder felt a vast, gentle, yet indestructible power surge into his body. This power was not violent like demonic energy, but carried a holy force that purified all things, instantly scattering the demonic energy in his body. It jarred his internal organs out of place, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

He spat out a large mouthful of pitch-black demonic blood and crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a massive crater.

"Ah! Damn you, Flower Saint! How dare you strike me so ruthlessly!" The Fifth Elder struggled to climb out of the deep pit, his clothes tattered and his aura withered. The gaze he directed at the Flower Saint was filled with resentment and terror, his previous composure completely gone.

The Flower Saint stood with his hands behind his back, a halo of peach blossom light swirling around him. He looked elegant and refined, his tone as indifferent as before: "You can't even handle my avatar. It seems you can only bully the younger generation."

He stepped forward slowly, flowers blooming with every step. A pink sea of flowers instantly spread out with him as the center, enveloping the entire area. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness, completely blocking all of the Fifth Elder's paths of retreat.

"Fang Bai is someone the Sword Saint values. Never mind that you are just a mere elder of the Evil Demon Clan; even if your Demon Saint were to come in person, they wouldn't be able to touch a hair on his head."

The Flower Saint's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority that echoed throughout the world: "Now, I give you two choices. Either cripple your own cultivation and stay alive imprisoned in the Alliance's Forbidden Land, or this Saint will personally slay you and erase you from existence."

The Fifth Elder's face was pale, his heart filled with shock and rage. He could feel the lethal power hidden within the sea of flowers. This power was firmly locked onto him, making it impossible for even the thought of escape to arise.

He stared fixedly at the Flower Saint, then shot a resentful glance at Fang Bai. He hated them to the extreme, yet he knew perfectly well that it was impossible to take Fang Bai away today, and he might not even be able to save himself.

"Damn it! Even an avatar is this arrogant!"

"Flower Saint, you just wait! I will remember today's grudge!"

The Fifth Elder gnashed his teeth. Knowing that staying any longer would only lead to death, he suddenly crushed a black token in his hand.

This token was bestowed by the Great Elder of the Evil Demon Clan and contained a wisp of the other's power, which could be used to save one's life at a critical moment.

After the token shattered, a power that made everyone's heart palpitate erupted!

The Flower Saint frowned, a rare trace of solemnity flashing across his face.

He didn't attack the Fifth Elder, but instead waved his hand to protect the people in the field.

A thick demonic aura erupted from the Fifth Elder, and his momentum surged! He didn't stay to fight, intending to flee before the Flower Saint's true body arrived!

He turned into an afterimage, exhausting all his cultivation to break through a sliver of the sea of flowers' seal, and fled in panic toward the distance, not even having the courage to look back.

Everyone: "..."

Watching the Fifth Elder's fleeing back, the Flower Saint did not pursue. He simply waved his hand, and the sky-filling sea of flowers slowly dissipated. The peach blossom avatar still stood in place, looking at Tang Chao and Fang Bai with a gentle gaze.

Tang Chao hurried forward and bowed again, his face full of excitement: "Thank you, Master, for acting in time. Otherwise, Brother Fang and I would have been in trouble today!"

Not just him and Fang Bai—without Quasi-Saint support, even the Tang Family would have been exterminated!

The Flower Saint nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Fang Bai, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Not bad. To be so young yet have such character and talent, it's no wonder the Sword Saint values you."

Then his tone shifted as he said softly: "The Evil Demon Clan has targeted you; they won't let this go. You must be extra careful from now on."

Fang Bai gave a slight bow: "Thank you, Senior!"

The Flower Saint nodded slightly: "The energy of this avatar is exhausted. My true body will arrive in a moment."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Sect Master of the Poison Sect and the others.

Afterward, the light faded, and the Flower Saint's avatar vanished, leaving only that branch of still-vibrant peach blossoms swaying gently.
