245 Spreadeagled
“Mi—!!”
The moment Zhu Youniang opened her mouth, the demon fox behind Feng Xia screamed and looked like a fluffy ball exploding. She stared at the other party with extremely vigilant eyes.
However, the more she looked, the more despair she felt.
She felt an unprecedented pressure coming from the half-human half-spider girl in front of her, causing her heart to be filled with alarm. It was as if she was facing the king of demon beasts which was respected by all demons—the demon king!
This girl was a demon king?
How was this possible!
Everyone knew that demon kings were not allowed to enter the Demon Imperial Tombs. If they violated the rules, they would become the public enemy of the other demon kings and be immediately attacked!
There were all kinds of rumors that the space inside the Demon Imperial Tombs was unstable. Once a demon king-level power erupted, it could cause a terrifying chain reaction or even cause a destructive disaster!
Therefore, in order to prevent any accidents, the Demon Divine Palace had already set up an incredibly complicated restriction outside the entrance of the Demon Imperial Tombs. Anyone whose cultivation had reached the high levels of the Primal Core Realm would be detected by the restriction, cutting off the possibility of any demon kings entering.
“But if it’s not a demon king, what’s with this trembling scary feeling…”
The moment she was targeted by Zhu Youniang, Bai Xiao felt a sharp pain all over her body, as if she was about to be cut open by an invisible blade and split into pieces on the spot.
“It’s not her.” Fortunately, at the critical moment, Feng Xia shook his head and said, “She’s just a passing bootlicker.”
“So it’s not her.”
Zhu Youniang nodded and instantly retracted her aura. Bai Xiao, on the other hand, felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Her entire body went limp and she fell from the tree with a plop.
Moreover, there was a word that Bai Xiao had never heard before which occupied her mind.
“What is the meaning of bootlicker?”
“Why does the young master call me a bootlicker?”
“Xia, Long Da’s current location should be about 160 miles northwest of us.”
Following Feng Xia’s instructions, Zhu Youniang quickly closed her eyes and sensed for a while before giving a detailed location.
Admittedly.
The Holy Son’s concealment skills were top-notch, and Feng Xia was not good at the heavenly divination technique. Even with Zhu Youniang’s innate divine power, she had to plant a divine power on the target first before she could determine its exact location.
However, who asked the Holy Son to have a traitor in his Dao Platform?
“So they’re this close to us?” The corners of Feng Xiang’s eyes twitched, his expression slightly surprised, “Since it’s so close, it saves me the trouble of traveling. Let’s go now.”
Youniang nodded. “Alright!”
Then, she pointed at the area below the tree. “What about this bootlicker?”
“Let’s bring her along first. What if she’s useful in the future?” Feng Xia did not think too much about it. “His Highness the Holy Son probably hasn’t realized that I’ve transferred his energy to another demon beast. If we rush over now, we can most likely catch him off guard.”
Under the tree.
The poor fox demon Bai Xiao had just gotten up in a daze and let out a moan. Then, a violent sense of dizziness suddenly hit her.
The air in her surroundings seemed to have transformed into an invisible hand that ruthlessly squeezed her stomach, dragging her tail and raising a large amount of fur in the air.
“My tail!!”
Bai Xiao finally bristled.
She realized that she was being held upside down by her tail, flying across the sky at high speed and headed for the northwest.
However, the moment she opened her mouth, the strong wind mercilessly slammed into her mouth, making her whimper. She could not even let out a clear scream.
“Xia, what is she saying?”
While flying at high speed, Zhu Youniang held Feng Xia’s arm and looked behind her in confusion.
Feng Xia immediately ruled out all the wrong answers and made a correct deduction. “She’s probably never seen such a scene before, so she could not help but shed tears of emotions.”
“Boohoohoohoohoo!”
After an unknown period of time, Feng Xia finally slowed down.
He looked around in confusion. “Strange, did we overshoot? The Holy Son doesn’t seem to be here yet…”
Zhu Youniang carefully sensed for a moment before nodding her head. “Xia, you’ve indeed overshot. Long Da is now behind us. He’ll reach us after a few more miles.”
“Then we’ll wait for them here.” Feng Xia thought for a moment and suddenly fixed his gaze in the distance. “Eh? This seems to be… a Silver Blood Fruit Tree?”
…
“We’re finally almost there. This Silver Blood Fruit Tree is not easy to find.”
Even though they had not arrived at their destination, the Holy Son could not help but smile when he felt the faint blood energy in the air.
The Silver Blood Fruit Tree was right in front!
In the periphery of the Demon Imperial Tombs, the Silver Blood Fruit Tree could already be considered a top-notch opportunity. There might be a few things that could surpass it, but the difficulty of obtaining them was countless times higher than the Silver Blood Fruit Tree.
To get close to the Silver Blood Fruit Tree, one only needed to satisfy three conditions.
Firstly, a sufficiently noble bloodline.
Secondly, enough Spirit Breaking Talismans.
Thirdly, knowing the exact location of the fruit tree.
At this moment, the Holy Son suddenly felt the aura of the Silver Blood Fruit Tree tremble and then suddenly weaken!
“Who is it? Who—”
Almost in an instant, his eyes bulged and his magical power suddenly exploded. “Who is picking the Silver Blood Fruits?!”
The life form of the Silver Blood Fruit Tree seemed to have its own blood essence. Every Silver Blood Fruit was a part of the “blood essence” of the fruit tree.
If the Silver Blood Fruit was not picked in time, it would just slowly fuse into the fruit tree and become its nourishment, quietly waiting for the next flower to bloom and bear fruit.
For such a situation where the blood essence weakened, someone must have picked the Silver Blood Fruits!
“Damn it, the location of the Silver Blood Fruit Tree is extremely hidden. By right, I’m the only person who knows. Who actually dared to snatch it away before me…”
The Holy Son could no longer care about anything else. His magical power surged as he pushed his speed to the limit. He crossed the distance of several miles in an instant. In the next moment, he had already seen the layer of glowing prohibition barrier around the Silver Blood Fruit Tree.
“Hmph, Spirit Breaking Talismans, open it for me…”
The Holy Son snorted and took out a bunch of Spirit Breaking Talismans. The strength of the Spirit Breaking Talisman was lower than the Deity Breaking Talisman, but it was easier to obtain. He had obtained many of these previously, and now that he was using all of them together, they immediately erupted with a power to break the barrier and tore a hole in it.
His heart was cold and indifferent. Without any hesitation, the Holy Son brazenly rushed through the crack in the barrier.
“Stop! Put down the Silver Blood Fruits in your hands and destroy your own cultivation immediately. I will then spare your lives!”
Clang—
The next moment.
The Holy Son crashed into the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation that was circulating with five rays of light. There was a dull sound that sounded like the chime of a huge bell. In the end, he maintained a spreadeagled position as he slowly slid down.
