"Phew, thank goodness you reacted quickly, Xiao Tian." Dongfang Huaizhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the general store being engulfed by the aftershocks of the explosion.
In the Kakkō, Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at Xiao Tian's face, which was becoming increasingly similar to that of his older brother, Xiao Yan of the Heavenly Dao Palace, and noticed the arm on his waist, and the slight blush on his cheeks under the mask.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tian, Dongfang Qinlan, and Wangquan Baye did not notice anything amiss.
Wow! What beautiful fireworks! You're amazing, sister, hehe.
Wangquan Baye glanced at the remaining black mist and frowned, saying, "The one who created such a large-scale operation must be that great Great Demon King. The black mist is filled with poisonous gas; a slight mistake could corrode one's body."
"Fortunately, we have someone among us who is skilled in fire magic." Wangquan Baye was confident that he could dispel the demonic poison mist with his sword intent, but it would not be as easy as it was for Dongfang Huaizhu.
"Ouch, my ass! Who did this to me?!" A wail of pain came from a dilapidated house; it belonged to Jade-Faced Wind Lord, Ximen Chuisha.
"It's me! What? I saved your life, and you're planning to repay kindness with enmity?" Xiao Tian said with a sneer to Ximen Chuisha, who was rubbing his buttocks and looking pained as he took to the air.
"So it was you, Your Excellency, who saved me! Thank you! Thank you!" Ximen Chuisha broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed his expression.
"Hypocritical, hehehe..." Dongfang Qinlan made a face at Ximen Chuisha.
Ximen Chuisha gave an awkward smile and turned to look at the town.
The demon seems to have retreated.
"Then let's chase after them! Baye, you lead the way."
Wangquan Baye nodded, then looked at Xiao Tian and asked, "Where?"
Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "I knew your underling was useless, all he does is steal kills. Follow me, I'll lead you straight to the Huanglong and kill the boss!"
"Hmph! Before that, you slut, can you let go of my hand?! You're actually taking advantage of both me and my sister! You're asking for it, Xiao Tian!"
Xiao Tian wasn't embarrassed at all, and said innocently, "Oh dear, I forgot. It was an emergency. I'll let you have your way next time."
"Fifty bottles of Sprite Cola!" Dongfang Qinlan sneered.
"Alright, Qinlan, stop fooling around." Dongfang Huaizhu patted Qinlan's head.
"Sister, I wasn't making a fuss. Xiao Tian Tian's true colors have finally come out! You'd better watch out."
"I think that makes sense," Wangquan Baye muttered.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you kill-stealer?" Xiao Tian scoffed.
Afterwards, Ximen Chuisha watched with longing as Xiao Tian, Dongfang Sisters, and Wangquan Baye chatted and laughed as they entered the Southern Kingdom, drinking beverages called Sprite and Cola. He was practically drooling with envy.
" Xiao Tian, are you sure you're not leading us the wrong way?" Dongfang Qinlan said with a grin.
"Impossible! All you know how to do with your little brain is eat. Just drink your beverage and keep quiet." Xiao Tian curled his lip, rolled his Byakugan, and sensed a layer of demonic energy barrier. Inside the barrier were many strange and ferocious monsters.
In addition, Xiao Tian saw a team carrying wooden barrels filled with blood, and several unconscious cultivators.
"There's a demonic aura surrounding this place." As they approached, Dongfang Huaizhu and Wangquan Baye said simultaneously.
"I'll handle it. Let the boss collect more kills later," Wangquan Baye said.
Xiao Tian patted Wangquan Baye on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you. Then hurry up and break it with one sword."
Wangquan Baye drew his sword, and with the enhancement of his Wangquan Sword Intent, the golden sword shone brilliantly, piercing the darkness.
"Break!"
With a swift slash, the demonic energy barrier tore apart, and dense golden sword energy scattered across the earth like a meteor shower, pulverizing some minor demons.
"The King's barrier has been broken! Run!"
