Guardian Beast-Demon King Peacock

"Yes, Master!"

Sun Potian clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and began to make arrangements.

Hua Qiang thought for a moment and released the Rat King, the White Dragon Horse, and the Lightning Thunder Roc. Then he had the Rat King lead a group of his men to cooperate with the Demon Monkey, forming dozens of small teams, each with a thousand animals.

To be on the safe side, he released another batch of Hungry Ghost and Asura, mixing them with the existing forces, instantly making each force several times stronger.

Hua Qiang believed that those who landed on the island would probably have no choice but to run for their lives if they encountered these groups.

A foul wind swept across the cliff face, carrying peach petals and crushing the remaining crimson petals into blood-stained fragments.

Before Lin Dong, Su Yan, and the others could even heal their wounds from the fierce battle with the sea beasts, they heard roars echoing from the dense forest.

More than a thousand rat demons darted out from among the peach trees, their grayish-brown fur gleaming with an eerie light, their sharp forepaws scraping Mars off the tree trunks.

The monkey demons hung upside down from the branches, their golden fur entwined with Poison Vine, and brandished rusty iron rods.

The army of Hungry Ghost surged like Black Mist, their pale skeletal claws piercing through the thick fog, leaving withered vegetation in their wake.

The Asura, clad in black iron armor and wielding three-zhang-long halberds, slammed deep craters into the ground with every step they took.

"Form ranks!"

Lin Dong and Su Yan drew their Longsword, their cold gleam piercing through the misty miasma.

Behind them, five companions quickly took up positions, forming Seven Star Sword Formation, their sword light weaving into a dazzling star net.

The horde of rat demons surged forward like a torrent, with the front-line rat demons actually smashing through the sword light with their flesh and blood, clearing a path for the demons behind them.

Su Yan's pupils contracted sharply as the sword tassel swept across the neck of a leaping rat demon. Dark red blood splattered onto the peach branch, but dense buds sprouted from the wound, healing instantly.

The seven were instantly swallowed up by the sea of beasts and fought desperately.

On the other side of the peach grove, the Fox Clan's prodigy Bai Li's fox tail ignited with blue flames, and her five tails coiled around the three Asura like serpents.

But suddenly, the Asura's halberds erupted with dark purple lightning, instantly charring the fox's tail fur.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Hungry Ghost Legion emerged from the ground, their pale claws piercing through A Li's defensive barrier.

She let out a delicate shout, and demonic markings appeared between her brows. Her five-tailed foxfire surged three zhang in size, burning the surrounding Hungry Ghost to ashes.

Whoosh whoosh!

Three poisoned iron chains shot out and wrapped around her wrists.

"Split up and break out!"

The Barbarian Tribe prodigy Tuoba Kuangfeng swung his giant axe, cleaving through the monkey demons' encirclement. The frost that had condensed on the axe blade froze several monkeys into ice blocks.

But the monkey demons smashed his companion's icy body and used ice crystals as projectiles to shoot at him.

As Tuoba Kuangfeng dodged left and right, his shoulder was struck by an iron chain that swung from behind, causing his skin to immediately ulcerate and turn black.

As he turned to fight back, he saw that the horde of Hungry Ghost had already dragged his two companions to the ground, leaving only half of their bloodied limbs.

In the chaos of battle, Su Yan and his companions' sword formation was broken by the rat demon leader.

The rat demon had three bone spikes on its head and moved with lightning speed, tearing open a gap in the sword formation in the blink of an eye.

Su Yan swung his sword to block, and a hissing sound of corrosion came from the blade.

Unexpectedly, the rat demon's claws were covered in deadly poison.

He gritted his teeth and shook off the rat demon's attack, only to find that his Sword Qi was getting weaker and weaker. Looking down, he was shocked to find that countless vines were growing under his feet, greedily absorbing his Spiritual Power.

Bai Li's foxfire gradually dimmed, and her five tails were bound by iron chains, rendering them unable to move.

The Asura grinned as they approached, their halberds pressed against her throat.

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to detonate her Demon Core and perish, the monkey demon leader threw out an iron chain that wrapped around her neck, sealing her Spiritual Power, and dragged her into the demon horde, binding her tightly.

Tuoba Kuangfeng's giant axe finally shattered the last monkey demon, but as he turned around, he was overwhelmed by the Hungry Ghost army, and his mournful roar was quickly swallowed by the thick fog.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the stream on Peach Blossom Island was already stained red with blood.

The surviving prodigies were chained up and knelt in the mud, covered in wounds.

The rat demons looted the Storage Ring, while the monkey demons hung the captured magical treasures on the vines to show off.

The Hungry Ghost greedily devoured their "spoils," while the Asura, carrying long halberds, surveyed these once-arrogant geniuses with cold, icy gazes.

Hua Qiang and Nalan Yan stood in front of a lake, looking at a piece of land in the middle of the lake.

On land, there was a tree over ten zhang tall, with a water pit at its base. Smoke curled from the water pit, shimmering with seven-colored light.

Is this what is known as the Fountain of Life?

It looks very bright and beautiful.

Hua Qiang shook his head. These people regarded this thing as a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. In his Small World, he had an inexhaustible supply of this thing. Moreover, his spiritual spring was very large, almost like a small lake.

"Hey, there's a guardian beast here," Monkey King Sun Potian introduced from the side.

"Oh? There are guardian beasts here too. What are they?" Hua Qiang frowned slightly and asked.

"Uh... it's a peacock!"

"A peacock? Is it impressive?"

It seems that every time a supreme treasure of heaven and earth appears, there is a guardian beast.

This has all formed an irregular pattern.

"Um, man, this hairy beast... the guardian beast is very powerful. I've fought it a few times, but I haven't managed to get a scratch, so..."

Hua Qiang looked at him and teased, "So you didn't get that Water of Life, but you should have already broken through to the Demon Emperor level."

"Heh, what a scoundrel!"

Sun Potian scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his monkey-like face.

"It seems I'll have to put in some effort again, but I'll take the Life Divine Tree before we fight."

If a fight breaks out soon and the tree is damaged, that would be a huge loss.

"Husband..."

Nalan Yan grabbed Hua Qiang's arm, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Don't worry!

Hua Qiang patted her hand and comforted her, "It's okay. I, your husband, haven't even been born yet, let alone a bird."

Besides, if I can't beat you, wouldn't I at least run away?

However, you should first enter the Small World.

Hua Qiang glanced at Sun Potian and said, "You should go in too, lest you get caught up in it!"

"A mortal, a human, one can only rely on a mortal to make a mortal!"

Once everything was ready, Hua Qiang took a step forward, his footsteps light and airy, as if climbing stairs, his body slowly rising higher and higher until he stopped above the lake.

Because he had sensed a terrifying aura spreading from the divine tree.

Immediately, a peacock, as large as a grown elephant and with seven vibrant colors, flew to the top of the sacred tree, its two eyes fixed intently on Hua Qiang.

"Halt! Retreat from the lake area, and I may spare your life. But if you remain obstinate, I will execute you without mercy!"

Hua Qiang glanced at the bird, and immediately relevant information appeared in his mind, causing him to frown.

This peacock had actually reached the half-step Demon Emperor Realm, and its combat power was approaching the peak of the Demon Emperor realm. It could even fight against Demon Emperor.

Most importantly, it is made of Peacock Feather and can emit Seven-Colored Divine Light.

That divine light could ignore both physical and magical defenses. Anything that stood in its way would vanish into thin air and be reduced to ashes when swept away by this divine light!
