353 Green Spirit Nether Hedgehog
The battle in the old temple was still in full swing.
As the beasts roared, Shangguan Fei’s face grew uglier and uglier.
He had never thought that these seemingly unintelligent magical beasts would become more and more courageous the more they fought and were so difficult to deal with.
Even the sharp sword in Shangguan Fei’s hand and the claws of the five-clawed Golden Dragon were extremely sharp. Not only could they cut through iron as if it were mud, but they could also destroy mountain rocks.
But now, he could only leave wounds on the demonic beasts’ bodies. He couldn’t even hurt the demonic beasts’ core, let alone kill them.
Except for the few demonic beasts that had been seriously injured by Shangguan Fei’s sharp sword at the beginning, the other demonic beasts were still able to move despite being badly injured. They were still very aggressive and dangerous.
Moreover, after a long battle, not only did these magical beasts not lose their fighting spirit, but they also became more courageous and ferocious.
For a time, Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng could only retreat and defend, unable to attack.
About five minutes had passed. With He Youliang’s speed, he was probably already engaged in a fight with Gu Mingzhou.
It was even possible that he had already defeated Gu Mingzhou and was ready to take the Qing Emperor’s inheritance.
The usually composed Shangguan Fei became a little flustered and became even angrier at He Youliang’s behavior just now.
The reason why Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng were trapped here and He Youliang could escape was largely due to the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
Previously, the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog had said that it would be dealt with quickly. However, it had been so long since then, and it had still not returned. It was obvious that it had not been dealt with.
This made Shangguan Fei even angrier, and he even regretted agreeing to the request.
After flicking away a ferocious-looking magical beast, Shangguan Fei did not wait for the other magical beasts to pounce on him. He immediately leaped and landed directly behind Liu Youcheng, who was meandering a hundred meters behind him.
Liu Youcheng sensed something and immediately let out an angry roar, his Dragon breath spewing out.
The Dragon’s tail alone swept across and instantly swept away all the magical beasts that were chasing Shangguan Fei.
“Brother Liu, can we force our way out?” Standing on the five-clawed Golden Dragon’s long body, Shangguan Fei looked at the surrounding demonic beasts that were eyeing them covetously. He obviously did not want to continue to be entangled with them, so he directly transmitted his voice to Liu Youcheng.
“It’s worth a try,” The five-clawed Golden Dragon’s bloody mouth opened slightly as he swung his Dragon Tail to fight against the magical beasts.
“Don’t worry and just do it. If we drag this on for too long, I’m worried that the legacy will end up in He Youliang’s hands. If he takes the legacy away, it’ll be extremely disadvantageous to us.” Shangguan Fei said worriedly as he stood with his sword in hand, vigilantly staring at the surrounding demonic beasts.
“Big Brother, is there no other way besides the Qing Emperor’s inheritance?” Liu Youcheng’s voice became somewhat old.
He also called Shangguan Fei “Big Vrother.”
If Gu Mingzhou was here, he would definitely be shocked when he heard this voice.
Because this voice was very familiar to Gu Mingzhou!
And Liu Youcheng even addressed Shangguan Fei as big brother!
It was a pity that Gu Mingzhou had just made his decision and did not have the time to care about these things.
“Don’t you know what’s going on? If He Youliang and the others were to find out your identity, would you still be able to live?” Shangguan Fei’s face suddenly changed and he quickly looked around. He was only relieved when he saw no one else around.
“So what if they know? They’re going to die sooner or later anyway. If I obtain the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, they’ll all become my stepping stones. When I return to the outside world, won’t they still die?” Liu Youcheng didn’t seem to mind and said indifferently.
“Are you sure that person has already come out?” Shangguan Fei’s nervous expression gradually relaxed and he said in a deep voice,
“I have a contract with Master. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you work with that nine-nether poisonous hedgehog. No matter how powerful he is now, Master can kill him with a raise of his hand!” the five-clawed Golden Dragon continued.
“You’ve always been so arrogant. It’s definitely got something to do with your temper!” Shangguan Fei said, shaking his head slightly.
“I really didn’t expect Liu Youcheng to be Shangguan Fei’s Younger Brother. No wonder Island Master Shangguan invited He Youliang and me to come and explore.”
The black shadow instantly landed on the roof of the old temple’s courtyard gate and looked at Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng, who was surrounded by demonic beasts. It was the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog that had disappeared for a long time.
Now, it had already changed.
His body was no longer black. Instead, green patterns appeared all over his body, like a color-changing zebra.
The ferocious thorns were still in a dark state, and there were no blue patterns.
However, at the tip of the thorns, there seemed to be an invisible flame burning, emitting hot air, which made Shangguan Fei’s heart palpitate.
“When did you come back?”
Shangguan Fei’s expression changed slightly. He instantly stood up from the five-clawed Golden Dragon, his right hand holding the long sword. He frowned and stared at the Dragon.
He looked at the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
No… It should be called the green spirit nether hedgehog now!
“Island Master Shangguan, don’t be nervous. So what if I know your relationship? Since we’re allies, why would I reveal your secret?” The green spirit nether hedgehog smiled and said,
“Squeak!” A sharp sound like grinding teeth came out of the mouth of the green spirit nether puppet and echoed in the ancient temple.
The demonic beast that had been ferociously attacking Shangguan Fei and the five-clawed Golden Dragon with eyes full of killing intent.
When he heard this sharp voice, the killing intent in his eyes immediately dissipated, as if he had received an order that could not be disobeyed.
He then retreated and stopped attacking Shangguan Fei and the five-clawed Golden Dragon.
The magical beasts that were already pouncing on the five-clawed Golden Dragon also turned around at the last minute and changed their attack direction.
“You can actually control these demonic beasts.” Shangguan Fei’s face turned ugly and angry when he saw the changes. He stared at the green spirit nether hedgehog and said.
“I only became the leader of these demonic beasts after eating the demonic leopard.” The green spirit nether hedgehog seemed to know what Shangguan Fei was going to say and quickly explained.
“We’re pressed for time. Let’s hurry and catch that kid.” The green spirit nether hedgehog rose into the air again and flew toward the southwest.
“Let’s go!” Shangguan Fei was originally on guard.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be able to escape!” the green spirit nether hedgehog said indifferently.
Shangguan Fei motioned for the five-clawed Golden Dragon to follow.
His conversation with Liu Youcheng just now involved that person’s existence. Did the green spirit nether hedgehog hear it?
This important question weighed on Shangguan Fei’s mind.
But in the current situation, Shangguan Fei couldn’t ask, nor did he dare to.
He could only stand on the five-clawed Golden Dragon’s back and follow the green spirit nether hedgehog, flying toward the shore.
However, as he gradually closed the distance between them, a hidden killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Two black shadows flashed through the forest at an extreme speed, as fast as light.
They were the green spirit nether hedgehog and the five-clawed Golden Dragon that carried Shangguan Fei.
After leaving the old temple, they all used their maximum speed.
As they shuttled through the forest, not a single leaf touched their bodies, not even the sound of the wind could be heard. This was enough to show the degree of control they had over their own strength.
It was the five-clawed Golden Dragon that was known as a divine beast in the flying domain. It was evident that it was extremely powerful. It quickly caught up with the green spirit nether hedgehog and was about to surpass it.
