Threatening me with something I don't have?
The Golden-Mane Boar stared at Yang Xiao, its mind racing with Abacus.
No matter who it is, once we know where the Empress resides, we must not let it go.
Moreover, the person in front of us is the Demon Suppression General. If we let him go, the consequences will be dire, and who knows how many pursuers he will attract.
Fortunately, the other party was only one person, so I could handle it.
"Get the hell out of here!"
"What are you even allowed to interfere with!?"
Without turning its head, it first shouted behind it, and the little demons immediately scrambled away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Once all the little demons behind it had run away, it looked at Yang Xiao again, a sinister smile creeping across its lips.
"Have you been waiting long, kid? Let's have a go at it!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The khaki-colored long gown was stretched to its limit, tearing inch by inch.
His short, stout body expanded in all directions, instantly transforming into a massive figure ten feet long.
The dark brown flesh bulged out in layers, the shoulders and back rose, the golden mane behind the neck grew wildly, and two-zhang-long golden thorns sprang out from the back, with cold light of Geng metal flowing out from the tips of the thorns.
The moment the four hooves touched the ground, even the ground trembled.
Boom--!
The gravel shook up from the ground and bounced half a foot high.
Golden-Mane Boar stood on the mountain path, its short, thick, and curved tusks pressed against its snout, and its back was covered with dense golden thorns, like javelins forged from refined iron.
Yang Xiao took the Army-Breaking Spear from his back.
The gun barrel fell into his palm, its cold, heavy weight causing the tip to droop diagonally toward the ground.
The moment a cold, metallic clang rang out, the distant sound of hooves exploded!
With a thud of its four hooves, the Golden-Mane Boar's massive body transformed into a rolling ball of golden light, hurtling straight towards them.
That speed was beyond what one would expect from a physique!
The wind blew first, and a fishy, pungent smell assaulted my nostrils.
Yang Xiao lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air.
Void-Treading Step, he created a point of leverage in the air, twisted his body, and swung three zhang (approximately 10 meters) across the ground.
Boom!
The spiked ball rolled over the mountain path and plunged headfirst into the rock face where he had just been standing.
Rock fragments flew everywhere, and seven or eight golden thorns that had broken off from the back of the rock face were embedded in the stone wall.
The Golden-Mane Boar pulled its head out, pawed at the ground with its four hooves, and twisted its massive body.
It crouched low, its thorns on its neck and back standing erect, wrapping its body in a ball of iron spikes, then turned and charged again.
Yang Xiao retreated again, then stepped on the top of a pine tree and flew into the air.
He froze in mid-air.
The Golden-Mane Boar stopped its relentless charge, raised its neck, and the quills on its back trembled in unison.
Click click click--!
Dozens of golden thorns detached from its back, and in the instant they were suspended in mid-air, they all turned over, their tips pointing upwards.
Demon Power infused into the sashimi.
The golden light surged in the next instant.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!
Dozens of golden spikes, each two zhang long, transformed into dozens of spears, soaring into the air and enveloping Yang Xiao in mid-air from all directions.
Yang Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.
He was all too familiar with this scene.
Back in the Weapon-Forging Valley, the Hundred-Footed Golden Centipede King used the same tactic, launching a barrage of attacks that covered the sky.
The thought flashed through his mind, and the golden spear was already upon him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Army-Breaking Spear transformed into a black and golden stream of light in Yang Xiao's hand.
As the spear flashed, the three golden spears overhead were knocked away simultaneously, sparks flying, and embedded themselves into the rock walls on both sides.
A blade grazed his calf, tearing a corner of his cloak.
Yang Xiao was demoted instead of promoted.
Void-Treading Step in mid-air, his body twisting into a red phantom as he plummeted down through the gap in the golden spear.
A tiny, blazing white Solar Flame silently ignited at the tip of the spear.
Yang Xiao landed in the Golden-Mane Boar's blind spot, his waist and hips slumped, and all his strength was poured into the gun.
A shot slammed into that round, wide pig's rump.
Whoosh!
The spearhead pierced through, Solar Flame exploded deep within the flesh.
The bright white flames shot up half a foot along the gun barrel, the dark brown Thick Hide sizzled, and a plume of smoke mixed with a fishy smell rose into the sky.
The Blazing Sun Evil-Splitting Spear burns not only the physical body, but also the soul.
"Aww--!!"
The Golden-Mane Boar jumped up.
A piercing squeal from a pig tore through the pine forest, startling all the birds on the mountain.
At the same instant it leaped up, the remaining thorns on its back reflexively sprang out.
Thorns grazed Yang Xiao's shoulder.
Clang--!
The Cold Iron Mystic Armor emitted a sharp sound, and when Yang Xiao felt a weight on his shoulder, the thorn had already flown to who-knows-where.
Before the Golden-Mane Boar could react, he took a step and flipped himself onto its broad back.
The moment he landed, the Core Illumination Domain was released with a roar.
Three hundred feet of Core Illumination Light spread out like a tide, pressing down on the Mountain Suppression Earth Pattern, and a golden halo first enveloped the feet.
Thump!
The Golden-Mane Boar's knees buckled, and its four hooves slammed to the ground.
The massive body that had crashed into the rock wall was forced to kneel down.
The excruciating pain in its back had not yet subsided when it suddenly felt as if it were carrying a giant mountain on its back, pressing down on it without warning.
At this moment, Yang Xiao's five fingers once again rested on the gun barrel, and he leaned down to stab down into the thickest part of the skin and flesh at the back of the neck.
Sizzle--!
The thick, dark brown Thick Hide split open, revealing a fragility like tofu.
Puff--!
A towering wave of blood gushed from the wound, like a crimson fountain.
Yang Xiao held his gun and slashed it all the way down the huge back of the Golden-Mane Boar.
The spearhead sliced along the midline of the spine. As the person ran forward, the flesh behind the spearhead tore open and split open, leaving a half-inch-wide gash that ran from the buttocks to the base of the neck.
The ten-zhang-tall, thick-skinned Pig Demon's back was almost instantly cleaved in two!
"Aww... Aww..."
The Golden-Mane Boar lay on the ground, its hooves twitching, blood seeping from beneath it, staining the gravel a dark red.
It's not dead yet.
The foundation built up over thousands of years of cultivation is too thick; even if the flesh and skin of the spine are cut open, it won't die so easily.
It was panting heavily, its eyes fixed on Yang Xiao.
"Stop... stop it!"
It squeezed out a sound from the pool of blood.
"The Yellow Wind Demon King commands a multitude of Demon King!"
"You have offended me today. Once the Yellow Wind Demon King is free, he can raze your entire prefecture to the ground in the blink of an eye!"
The Yellow Wind Demon King rarely takes action; its threat is merely a ploy to get the Demon Suppression General in front of it to stop.
According to its understanding, these Demon Suppression General always guard their own county and its inhabitants, refusing to move an inch outwards.
Although it's unclear where this guy came from, making such a threat can't be wrong.
Yang Xiao paused slightly.
Which prefecture is mine?
I don't have any counties under my jurisdiction!
Threatening me with something I don't have?
However, it's a bit troublesome that the Yellow Wind Demon King can still make a move. I heard from the Governor-General that it's extremely old and will probably be reluctant to take the opportunity to attack.
I don't know if killing this wild boar will get its attention.
The Golden-Mane Boar saw all this and assumed that Yang Xiao was stunned by its words.
"And the one inside the cave!"
It hissed and continued to increase its stakes.
"That lady is not Demon King native to Qingzhou!"
"She comes from the Hundred-Thousand Demon Mountains!"
"Her background is terrifyingly powerful! You, a mere general of Qingzhou, can't afford to offend her. Don't make a mistake!"
As it shouted, the Demon Core beneath its skin began to operate wildly.
A metallic sheen seeped from the dark brown flesh, making the original Demon body harder than steel.
Yang Xiao looked down at it, ignoring the golden light that was gradually emerging from its body.
He spoke softly.
"I've memorized the Hundred-Thousand Demon Mountains."
