"Whoosh!..."
Almost at the same moment Huang Que spoke, an arrow wreathed in lightning shot into the sky from the Stored Swords Grounds, colliding with the black spear that radiated demonic qi.
"Boom!"
Amid the violent crash, the arrow wrapped in the power of thunder actually split the spear down the middle and struck the enormous azure palm in the hole overhead.
With a bang, the power of thunder on the arrow blasted the azure palm into charcoal.
"Whew..."
Seeing this, then glancing down at Xu Taiping, who was already nocking another arrow and drawing his bow, Huang Que let out a long breath.
"This kid is much more alert than I am."
He gave a self-deprecating smile.
"He didn't let his guard down even at a time like this. He can be entrusted with great things!"
Beside him, Prefect Liu Chuxuan found Xu Taiping more and more to his liking.
Just then, an enraged roar rang out.
Immediately afterward, a hideous monster, humanoid yet inhuman, with green skin, blue eyes, and ox horns on its head, gripped the edge of the hole with its other hand and tried to crawl out.
The sudden appearance of this demonic beast drew all the disciples' attention away from the Stored Swords Grounds, setting off cries of alarm.
The Azure Profound Sect's Peak Lords all flew down from the tower and landed together on the Stored Swords Grounds.
Some elders and disciples began maintaining order on the surrounding Cloud Towers, doing everything they could to keep the disciples from panicking.
"It's an Azure Demon from Nine Nether. Brainless, but its claws can tear through barriers and restrictions. Nine Nether has always used them as powerful weapons for storming cities."
Patriarch Wuya, who had the appearance of a little girl, solemnly explained to everyone.
