Looking at the backs of the two human cultivators, a man and a woman.
Wu Qiya carefully spat out a scale the size of a fist from its beak.
The yellowish-brown scales seemed to sense something and were trembling and slightly warm.
If it hadn't Law Power to restrain it, the scales would probably have shot out immediately.
"Your Majesty's scales... are reacting!"
"It's... those two human cultivators!"
Wu Qiya's dark eyes revealed intense excitement, but sensing the two's impending departure, he was also puzzled.
The auras of the two human cultivators were clearly only at the Foundation Establishment.
Why could it move the emperor's scales?
Could it be that the reason Your Majesty's bloodline is trembling is related to this mere Foundation Establishment?
"What should we do? This place isn't far from Hanging Blade Pass."
"If I make a move, it would be bad if it attracted the cultivators stationed at the pass."
"But if I can bring these two back to Dongting, His Majesty will surely find out the reason, and perhaps even reward me."
They watched as the man and woman's figures receded into the distance.
As they drew closer to the wall, the hesitation in Wu Qiya's eyes gradually faded.
Let's go for it! They're just two human Foundation Establishment, what kind of skills can they possibly have?
If it puts in a little more effort and strikes quickly, it might succeed before the garrisoned cultivators even realize what's happening.
Such a great achievement must not be let go.
A ruthless glint appeared in his dark eyes.
The small body suddenly took to the air and sped away towards the two figures.
Two streaks of black smoke, formed from Demon Power, shot out rapidly like ropes and cords.
They went straight for Ye Chenfeng and his companion.
"Hey kid! Watch out! Get out of the way!"
Elder Jian's voice and Zong Qing's actions were initiated almost simultaneously.
Before Ye Chenfeng could react, Zong Qing shoved Ye Chenfeng aside and then dodged backward in an instant.
But the black smoke seemed to have eyes, locking onto the two of them from the left and right.
Moreover, its Demon Power was even stronger, far exceeding the Golden Core level, and its majestic demonic might flashed.
Ye Chenfeng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly summoned his flying sword.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
"Get out of here!"
The sword light was sharp, and a thick Sword Qi that could threaten Golden Core cultivator shot out with a thunderous roar.
The trail of black smoke in front of him vanished.
As for Zong Qing, a hint of cold light flashed in her bright, beautiful eyes. She was not shocked. She raised her hand, and the jade bracelet on her wrist shimmered.
Not only did it disperse the black smoke trails that were attacking her, but it also drew a white beam that shot out straight out.
It shot out in the direction from which the black smoke came.
"Um??"
Seeing this, Wu Qiya had a big question mark above his head.
My brain isn't quite working properly.
When did human cultivators become so strong?
One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators raised his hand and unleashed Sword Qi nearly equivalent to that of Golden Core cultivator; the other was even more terrifying.
Where the white light passed, ripples spread through the space, and an aura of death swept over its mind.
Wu Qiya even had a premonition that, in his current state, he might actually die from this attack.
At this moment, they dared not hide any longer, their souls filled with dread.
He unleashed his true form right away!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the white light emitted by Zong Qing seemed to have struck some enormous entity.
A thick plume of black smoke rose from the distant forest, whipping up fierce winds that swept across an area of tens of thousands of meters.
Before the two could react, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped them.
When I looked up again, a gigantic black crow, tens of thousands of meters long, had appeared in the sky.
Black crows like clouds, their sharp beaks like peaks, billowing Yao Qi obscuring the sun and clouds.
The sheer force of the aura was enough to make Ye Chenfeng and Zong Qing lose their footing.
Such a size clearly indicates it is a Nascent Soul stage demon!
The great demon floated in the air, exposed outside the Hanging Blade Pass, atop the towering city walls, where gasps of alarm immediately rang out.
" Nascent Soul level demon!"
"A Nascent Soul demon ancestor is approaching the gate wall, seemingly attempting to break through!"
"Summon the Divine Lord immediately!"
"Quickly, activate the formation!"
"..."
The arrival of Nascent Soul- Demon Beast at the pass is no small matter for the Hanging Blade Pass.
If Demon Beast of such size were to cross the wall and invade Jingxi Prefecture, it would undoubtedly pose a huge threat to the human cultivators within the prefecture.
Fortunately, over the years, the gatekeepers have become quite experienced.
When troop deployment is underway, they must immediately be on high alert.
The magic circle activated, and the flying sword soared into the air.
At this moment, Elder Jian's terrified voice also emanated from within Ye Chenfeng's body.
"Not good! It's Nascent Soul Demon Beast, kid! Run!"
"Damn it, how come I keep running into Nascent Soul Demon Beast everywhere I go!"
He was puzzled; it seemed that wherever Ye Chenfeng went, an irreversible situation would arise.
I finally managed to escape from that rotten toad nest, and it hasn't been long since then.
And here comes another big black crow.
Judging from its aura, it was much stronger than a rotten toad.
Why would such a powerful demon suddenly appear outside the Hanging Blade Pass?
Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the garrison Divine Lord and having your funeral held here?
Elder Jian couldn't figure it out, and Zong Qing was also a bit confused.
However, her expression remained unchanged throughout.
At most, he showed a hint of surprise when he saw the true form of the black crow.
Confused, Zong Qing was unwilling to linger and risk this unknown danger.
He was about to wave his wrist and leave with Ye Chenfeng.
Before she could make a move, the giant black crow in the sky suddenly opened its beak!
"Boom!"
A huge scale, the size of a mountain and gleaming with an earthy yellow light, appeared out of thin air.
Then, a surge of emotion from the depths of her blood suddenly welled up in her heart.
In a daze, he was unable to speak, hear, or see.
It was as if the world had vanished, and I was frozen in place.
" Zong Qing?! Zong Qing!"
Zong Qing's unusual behavior naturally caught Ye Chenfeng's attention.
He dared not stand still any longer. He used a Lightness Technique and grabbed Zong Qing, rushing towards Hanging Blade Pass.
But no matter how fast he is, how could he possibly be faster than Nascent Soul Demon Beast!
"Bah!"
A piercing scream reached my ears and echoed throughout the Hanging Blade Pass.
Before Ye Chenfeng could react, billowing black smoke had already enveloped the two of them, sending them hurtling towards the heart of the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture.
But at that moment, a cold, angry shout echoed through the sky from behind the gate.
It sounded like a woman's voice, filled with anxiety and boundless anger.
"You beast, how dare you be so insolent!"
The rumbling sound shook the heavens, before the words had even finished.
The sword light, as bright as the sun splitting the sky, had already Void Breaking, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, and came straight down.
The Sword-Ray was as sharp as a mountain, its momentum overwhelming.
It traversed thousands of feet, cleaving through the clouds and splitting apart the demonic mist.
It struck the enormous demonic body of the Wu Qiya with a fierce blow.
"Bah!"
A painful howl echoed from its mouth.
This single sword strike shattered its true form, and its massive demonic body began to crumble like a porcelain doll.
A look of terror appeared in his eyes.
I knew I was about to die.
The fear in its eyes finally turned into ferocity.
The giant claw solidified, preparing to crush the two people beneath it alive.
However, it seemed that because its demonic body was damaged and its Law Power was depleted, it could no longer control the huge scales in its mouth.
Scales flickered and flashed, then rushed towards Zong Qing, enveloping her body and disappearing into the vast Demon Manor...
