Chapter 277

A burst of wild laughter came from the alluring woman. Her gaze swept over Xiao Minghuang and Luo Qianrui, finally settling on the latter. She asked in confusion, "Weren't you supposed to be two little girls? How did you turn into a young woman?"

"Besides, this isn't the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body, is it?"

After a moment's thought, the alluring woman smiled seductively, "It doesn't matter, it's all the same. Come back to the Southern Wilderness with me!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Two pink heart-shaped patterns appeared in her eyes as her gaze fell on Xiao Minghuang and the other two.

Instantly.

A pink ball of light shot out, seemingly transcending the barriers of time and space, and directly entered the bodies of Xiao Minghuang and the other person.

The next moment.

Xiao Minghuang felt a wave of weariness wash over her from the depths of her soul, as if she were about to lose control of herself and her soul was about to leave her body.

Fortunately, her inner world was comparable to that of a Saint King. With just a slight change of mind, she suppressed and annihilated the pink light.

Luo Qianrui was not so strong; her consciousness was almost collapsing, her body was convulsing violently, and she was groaning in pain.

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang quickly stepped forward, supported her, and held her in his arms, continuously channeling spiritual energy into her body to help her regain consciousness.

Are you alright?

Xiao Minghuang asked worriedly, and Luo Qianrui opened her eyes and looked at her, her voice trembling, "I... we have to run..."

Before she could finish speaking, she fainted.

Seeing that Luo Qianrui had lost consciousness, Xiao Minghuang had no choice but to take her into his cave and settle her in after the battle was over.

Immediately, she took a deep breath and looked up at the Silver Gourd Demon King standing tall in the sky.

"Since you insist on forcing me, then I'll see what you're made of."

A pink light flashed in the Silver Gourd Demon King's pupils, and a strange smile curved his lips as he sneered, "King Realm? You're nothing but an ant! You dare to presume?"

354. First Battle with the Demon King

"Really? Then give it a try."

Xiao Minghuang raised her head and straightened her chest, her eyes sharp. She took a step forward, and dazzling golden flames bloomed around her body. A rusty sword appeared in her hand, its blade pointing straight to the sky.

In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sky brightened. A great sun hung high in the sky, radiating its blazing light, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and pressing down on the six directions and eight wastelands.

"What kind of strange phenomenon is this?"

The Silver Gourd Demon King looked up, the radiance of the sun making her squint. She said in surprise, "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. It turns out you have some tricks up your sleeve. But no matter how powerful a King Realm cultivator is, they are still just a King Realm cultivator. And no matter how big an ant is, they are still just an ant!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Buzz--!"

A burst of pink light shot out from the Silver Gourd Demon King's body, transforming into dazzling flower petals that danced outwards. Each petal contained extremely powerful Saint Dao Law, crashing down towards Xiao Minghuang like a meteor shower.

In an instant, Xiao Minghuang was engulfed by countless petals, like a delicate little flower being ravaged by a storm.

"Heh, a mere King Realm cultivator can't withstand this move from me..."

The Silver Gourd Demon King wore a mocking expression.

But the next second, she froze.

Rumble~

Amidst the countless earth-shattering explosions, a clear shout resounded through the sky.

"Starry Sky Array! Activate!"

As a clear sound resounded, thousands of stars simultaneously appeared above Xiao Minghuang's head, their dazzling light intertwining and converging into a massive star array, releasing a monstrous power.

The star chart spun, radiating brilliant light, like a real cosmic starry sky descended to earth, releasing immortal starlight that made the dark night sky as bright and dazzling as day.

The vast starlight descended, enveloping the area where Xiao Minghuang stood, instantly protecting the entire Luo Mansion.

At the same time, the power of starlight, which is all-pervasive, instantly annihilated the countless flower petals unleashed by the Silver Gourd Demon King.

"Hmm? Starry Sky Divine Power? Ziwei Sacred Land?"

The Silver Gourd Demon King was stunned for a moment, somewhat taken aback, then snorted coldly, "Prodigy of the Ziwei Sacred Land, for the sake of your master, hand over that Heavenly Desire Sacred Body and leave this place, and I may spare your life!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression froze, and she was immediately startled.

Out of consideration for the Ziwei Sacred Land?

The Ziwei Sacred Land actually has influence among the demons of the Southern Wilderness?

She wanted to test the waters; perhaps she'd get an unexpected reward!

Xiao Minghuang remained calm and said indifferently, "This woman was personally ordered by my master to be brought back to the Holy Land. If you remember your agreement with your master, then you should not obstruct me!"

Upon hearing this, the alluring woman opposite her immediately frowned. "Who is your master? Why are you taking her with you?"

Xiao Minghuang retorted, "How could you possibly know my master's name?"

Upon hearing her words, the Silver Gourd Demon King's face instantly darkened.

She laughed in fury, "Ha! You dare to use the majesty of the Ziwei Sacred Land to intimidate me? How utterly foolish!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The Silver Gourd Demon King's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a powerful killing intent emanated from him. The Saint Dao Law condensed into a long sword, which rushed straight towards Xiao Minghuang.

Instead of retreating, Xiao Minghuang advanced, sword in hand, to meet the attack.

The starlight gathered on the rusty sword in her hand, making it even more dazzling. With a single slash, it was as if the heavens and earth were split open, causing the void to tremble endlessly, and a giant sword mark appeared in mid-air.

Boom!

The collision erupted, shattering the void inch by inch, and destructive winds howled in all directions.

Xiao Minghuang staggered back three steps, the void beneath her feet collapsing inch by inch, revealing her disheveled state.

In contrast, the Silver Gourd Demon King remained as steady as a rock, completely unmoved.

"You can't do it."

Seeing this, the Silver Gourd Demon King shook his head and sneered, "A mere King Realm cultivator dares to challenge me? Truly ignorant of his own limitations!"

As he spoke, the Silver Gourd Demon King's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Xiao Minghuang cautiously looked around, preparing to parry with her sword, when she suddenly felt a chilling aura coming from her side.

Immediately afterwards.

The Silver Gourd Demon King slammed his palm onto Xiao Minghuang's shoulder, unleashing a torrent of violent power. Xiao Minghuang immediately dodged, but the bones in his shoulder were still shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

Pfft!

She spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her long dress crimson.

Xiao Minghuang staggered and nearly fell into the void.

"Mean!"

She glared at the smug Silver Gourd Demon King, gritting her teeth. Battles between cultivators of the Eastern Pole were always fair and square, with the outcome determined by their supernatural powers. They would never resort to such a sudden sneak attack. Therefore, she was caught off guard and fell victim to his ambush.

"So what if it's despicable? Only the victor has the right to judge others' methods. The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is an eternal truth!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Silver Gourd Demon King's attacks came crashing down from all sides.

Xiao Minghuang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly activated the power of the stars to create layers of shields in front of him.

Fortunately, although she suffered minor injuries, she recovered quickly after taking the medicine.

Moreover, in terms of raw strength, she might not be much weaker than the Silver Gourd Demon King.

After successfully launching a sneak attack, the Silver Gourd Demon King was no longer able to break through Xiao Minghuang's Star Array and inflict any substantial damage on her.

"Eastern Pole cultivator, you cowardly turtle!"

The Silver Gourd Demon King cursed angrily.

She has crossed over from another realm. If she cannot quickly seize the Heavenly Desire Sacred Body, and the time drags on, the bigwigs of the Holy Academy will arrive, and she will surely die!

Next, her attacks became even more frenzied. With her hands waving, strands of terrifying power of law surged out, condensing into ferocious venomous snakes in the void, tearing through the sky and rushing towards the star array.

Xiao Minghuang's gaze was resolute, her resolve unwavering; all she had to do was wait!

We await the arrival of the Holy Academy's powerful warriors!

However, her perseverance also made the Silver Gourd Demon King sense something unusual.

Her gaze shifted and landed on the Luo residence, which was being fiercely protected by Xiao Minghuang amidst the battle between the two sides.

"Interesting. She must be protecting something. I need to lure her away."

Silver Gourd Demon King's fox-like eyes darted around, and she smiled seductively, "Little thing, you're quite interesting. I can't handle you. I'm leaving now, or the old man from the Holy Academy will come, and I'll be in deep trouble!"

After she finished speaking, a void vortex opened in the sky, and she swayed gracefully into it, disappearing from sight.

Seeing her leave, Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, withdrew the great formation, and landed on the ground.

Facing a demon king from the Southern Wilderness, she was not afraid, but she lacked the means to decisively defeat him.

After all, she was only at the King Realm. To be able to cross a major realm and then cross several minor realms in succession, and to be evenly matched with a Saint King, was unprecedented in history.

To think that one could easily defeat or even kill the opponent would be too bizarre and unbelievable.

355. Bargaining

At the same time.

Inside the Luo residence, the members of the Luo family wore expressions of deep worry.

What's going on?

"The sky was suddenly covered up."

Looking through the window, they saw only a pure white expanse, as if covered by an endless white cloth; they could see nothing else.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Luo Qianhua woke up, rubbed her eyes, and stared blankly at the white expanse outside the window. Her tender little face showed a look of confusion.

"It might be the divine power of an immortal!"

Xiao Luo Qianrui stared blankly out the window, lost in thought, and suddenly said...

"Xiao Rui, don't be silly, where did this immortal come from?"

Xiao Luo Qianhua patted Xiao Luo Qianrui's head and said with a smile.

"Hmph, you don't understand at all!"

Xiao Luo Qianrui brushed Xiao Luo Qianhua's hand away, puffed out her cheeks, and proudly raised her head and chest, saying, "While you were sleeping in, I saw Fairy Sister with my own eyes! Fairy Sister even gave me an Immortal Method!"

Xiao Luo Qianhua pouted. "Bullshit."

"Who's bragging to you?" Xiao Luo Qianrui stomped her foot and pouted, "Mommy saw it too, Mommy, don't you think so?"

Although she didn't want to discourage Xiao Luo Qianhua, the facts couldn't be denied, so Madam Luo nodded.

"Ah?!" Xiao Luo Qianhua's little face was full of shock. "Are there really immortals?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The pristine whiteness of the outside world vanished like a mirage, revealing a star-studded night sky once more.

All I saw was...

Under the illumination of countless stars, a stunningly beautiful figure stood suspended in mid-air amidst the moonlight, her entire body shimmering with starlight, her robes fluttering, pure and ethereal, as if a celestial maiden had descended to earth.

Her beauty was so stunning that it could eclipse the sun and moon.

"An immortal!"

When Xiao Luo Qianhua saw the stunningly beautiful figure soaring through the air, her little face was filled with awe.

So there really are immortals in this world!

Xiao Minghuang flashed and landed in the courtyard of the Luo residence.
