Dark clouds rolled in, and thunder howled, trapping the three of them inside.
This was no ordinary wind and thunder; it was the manifestation of the old eagle's Yao Qi.
A demon king in the Late Golden Core Stage —that's terrifying!
Heiming Xuanzhao's expression changed drastically, but he did not show despair. Instead, he raised his hand to protect Chen Shuangbai and Wei Zheng behind him and transmitted his voice, "This place is not too far from the Dark Crow Tribe. Such a commotion will surely attract the attention of the Great Shaman."
"We'll stall this old eagle while we wait for the Great Shaman to come to our aid!"
Wei Zheng nodded, and his Qi and Blood energy gradually began to rise.
Chen Shuangbai stared at the ferocious and terrifying eagle that had suddenly appeared before her.
With a soaring cry, a giant demon eagle appeared out of thin air in front of the three.
It has a pair of blood-red eyes like the Crimson Moon, a coat of blue and green iron feathers with a metallic sheen, a hooked beak like the moon, and claws that gleam with a sharp and terrifying luster. What's even more deadly is its overwhelming and surging demonic Yao Qi.
This Yao Qi shook the minds of the three.
Heiming Xuanzhao immediately reached into his robes, clutching the jade box tightly, and forced himself to speak, "I am a cultivator from the Jade Spring Immortal Sect of the Jing Kingdom. Our sect has three Golden Core True Person and one Grand True Person in the Late Golden Core Stage stage... What is the meaning of your trapping us?"
The demonic eagle's blood-red eyes twitched slightly, as if it had heard something utterly ridiculous. Between the opening and closing of its hooked beak, a hoarse and unpleasant sound, like two pieces of pig iron rubbing against each other, emanated from it.
" Jade Spring Sect? What a joke!"
"Now that you've come to Great Li Mountain, how can you cultivators from outside the mountain possibly leave alive?!"
That hoarse, piercing voice, like the cry of an owl, carried undisguised mockery and greed. "Hand over the stuff!"
That's all.
The demonic eagle stopped wasting words.
It was already afflicted by Shaman Incantation and tormented by illness day and night, which had long since destroyed its mind to the point of madness. It wanted to tear apart everything it saw in order to vent its anger and resentment, so it decisively took action!
In an instant, a thick bolt of wind and thunder descended upon Heiming Xuanzhao's head.
At a critical moment.
Heiming Xuanzhao summoned a talisman, and snowflakes fluttered down, plum blossoms danced in the air, and a Sword Essence carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms flew out from the talisman, directly meeting the wind and thunder.
A deafening roar followed.
After the two collided, they canceled each other out, sending all three of them flying backward.
It was the sword talisman bestowed by True Person Mei.
Seeing its attack blocked, the Shaman Incantation's rage surged even higher, and the pain from the curse within its body intensified. With a flap of its wings, endless wind and thunder arose from the void, pouring down like rain upon the three of them.
Just like the dramatic changes between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
There is a seemingly insurmountable gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core!
Not to mention... the one in front of us is a demon king at the Late Golden Core Stage!
Seeing this, and facing the full-force attack of a Late Golden Core Stage demon king brimming with murderous intent, Heiming Xuanzhao's eyes widened in fury.
He wasn't lamenting his impending death.
He lamented that he had not brought the [ Jade Parasol Tree ] back to the sect, nor had he properly protected the two promising junior disciples... He felt ashamed of failing True Person Mei's trust.
Wei Zheng glared angrily, his powerful Qi and Blood and qi condensing in his right fist in that instant, clearly showing he had no intention of surrendering.
At that very moment, Chen Shuangbai...
He lifted his foot and took a step forward.
There was fear in his eyes, but it was suppressed by another kind of determination.
"Just for a moment!"
Chen Shuangbai told himself this in his heart, and then his powerful and clear Law Power roared out. A ray of spiritual light escaped from his body, landed in mid-air, and transformed into a spirit banner that fluttered in the wind, rippled on the water, and was illuminated by the bright moon!
It is indeed the [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ]!
"Open!"
Chen Shuangbai shouted, and his Law Power surged wildly, pouring it all into the [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ]!
In an instant, the spirit banner fluttered, and the bright moon pattern on its surface suddenly lit up, emitting a cool and pure light.
The ripples on the water came to life, and circles of soft, moonlit light, as if the water and moon were merging, rapidly rippled outwards from the spirit banner, instantly enveloping Chen Shuangbai and the other two.
The raging winds and thunder pouring down from the sky crashed into the clear light. Although they were no longer as powerful as usual, they still managed to block the light to some extent.
But it only provides a brief, temporary respite...
Chen Shuangbai's face turned deathly pale instantly. The Law Power within his Dantian poured out like a flood, causing his soul to tremble violently, as if countless needles were piercing it. The seemingly gentle moonlight, with each wave of wind and thunder it neutralized, shook his mind and caused his Qi and Blood to surge.
It will shatter completely in the next instant.
The gap between the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and the Late Golden Core Stage... is still too large.
Chen Shuangbai raced, but his hands didn't stop moving. Instead, he formed a mysterious Law Seals, and a point of dark color floated from beneath his feet. Then, this point of dark color rapidly expanded, turning into an area of about an acre in size, with water rippling within it. Unlike the blue and green wind and thunder of the demon eagle, white lightning and black wind howled.
It was True Person Bo's third-tier Law Technique, [ Clouds and Water Share the Same Sky ]!
"Although we still can't hold out for long... it's better to hold out for as long as possible than to obediently submit to slaughter!"
Bang bang bang--!
A violent storm of wind, thunder, and rain slammed down upon the " Clouds and Water Share the Same Sky " domain.
Heiming Xuanzhao he saw multiple wounds suddenly appear on Chen Shuangbai's body, the flesh torn and rolled back. He quickly recovered and shouted, "Attack! Help him!"
Wei Zheng immediately obeyed the order, and the two of them unleashed various talismans and life-saving techniques, hoping to alleviate some of Chen Shuangbai's pressure.
Even so, Chen Shuangbai was still seriously injured.
Countless drops of blood seeped from his skin, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure. Even so, the howling wind and thunder continued their relentless onslaught, rapidly forcing Chen Shuangbai to reconcile the Clouds and Water Share the Same Sky formation he had been maintaining.
Chen Shuangbai trembled violently, her face turned from white to gold, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had reached her limit.
"Sucker Punch!"
Seeing its attack thwarted once again, the Wrathful Plume Dark Eagle flared once more. With a flap of its wings, a wind blade, tens of feet in size and formed from countless whirlwinds, slashed down, intending to annihilate the three of them on the spot.
It no longer cared whether it would damage the seed of the [ Jade Parasol Tree ]; anger and pain had completely filled its mind.
All I want is to wipe out this bunch of ant-like people in front of me.
Let's calm down its anger!
"I'll do it!"
Just when Heiming Xuanzhao was at a loss.
Wei Zheng roared, and in that instant, it seemed he had made up his mind, his gaze more resolute than ever before.
His body visibly shriveled, his skin cracked, and golden blood beads seeped out, but his right fist seemed to have transformed into a burning, about-to-explode crimson-gold miniature sun!
The ferocity and determination of the punch caused the surrounding air to distort and burn!
"Shaking... the mountain!"
