Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Asura Rescue

"Bang bang bang bang!" The bolts were all shaken off, but the space power attached to them still exploded one by one, causing the surrounding space to become chaotic and abruptly snapping the lock it had on Pretty Girl's aura. This clever design didn't have any divine-ranked power, but it successfully disrupted its chase after Pretty Girl. Meanwhile, Pretty Girl had already fallen into the city below and vanished without a trace.Dai Yanning, with a pale-faced Wang Yan in his grasp, swiftly released his divine consciousness, searching in the direction Pretty Girl had fled. But Pretty Girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air, with no trace of her aura to be found.

Tang San had been pursuing them, and the threatening aura that had alarmed Dai Yanning was naturally his doing. However, he had not expected Pretty Girl to act so decisively at that moment. The instant Pretty Girl broke free, Tang San no longer had any choice.

As the Bluesilver Emperor vines lashed out, he had used Asura's voice to transmit a message to Pretty Girl, instructing her to trust his entanglement, then forcibly pulled her to his side.

He let a trace of his divine consciousness aura slip out, enveloping both of them, and then he took Pretty Girl and ran.

Although Dark Crow Monster King Dai Yanning also possessed divine consciousness, his level was incomparable to Tang San's, and since he wasn't particularly adept with divine consciousness, finding their aura was far from easy.

Asura, with his right hand gripping the vines coiled around Pretty Girl's waist, led her in a rapid escape, while Pretty Girl whispered, "Let me go."

"No, you can't leave my side, or it will detect you with its divine consciousness," Asura said as he continued to accelerate.

"Where are we going?" Pretty Girl didn't try to struggle further, understanding that Asura was right. But she was also curious — how was he concealing their aura from divine consciousness detection? She couldn't sense anything special about him!

"To the Jiali Mountain Range. The Peacock Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor seem to be on the verge of clashing there. Now, the Jiali Mountain Range has become a restricted zone, and even the Dark Crow Monster King would not expect us to flee in this direction. It's relatively safe. Moreover, the collision between the Great Demon King and the Great Demon Emperor will cause all aura to be chaotic, making it difficult to track yours. Then it all depends on the outcome of their battle. If your father wins, everything will return to normal. If the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor wins, then you'll escape with me, as going back would no longer be an option."

Since Pretty Girl was being pulled along by him, she was positioned slightly behind and to the side. Listening to his rapidly spoken words, she couldn't help but feel dazed. Could he really make such accurate judgments in such a short time? He was truly clever, making precise decisions in an instant.

The intent behind the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's arrival was clear — to subdue the Peacock Demon Clan by force, and his presence here was obviously sanctioned by the Ancestral Court.

Even as a Great Demon Emperor, abundant resources were needed, and the resources of the Ancestral Court had long been divided. Carving out a share was no easy task, and most entities of the Great Demon Emperor's level had their own main city. Jiali City, however, had no Demon Emperor.

This was what Pretty Girl had mentioned before: a new emperor without a city, a clan without an emperor.

Located in a remote region, the Peacock Demon Clan might boast its former glory, but having been without an emperor for three generations made them an easy target.

Using the investigation into the whereabouts of the Ice Dragon Demon King as a pretext was undoubtedly an open scheme. The only chance to avert this crisis was to defeat the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor; otherwise, the Peacock Demon Clan had no choice but to compromise or risk annihilation.

While Asura was unaware of the past conflicts between the Crystal Phoenix Heritage and the Peacock lineage, he nonetheless quickly came to these basic conclusions.

The battle between the two powerhouses would determine the future. Before a victor was declared, all talk was superfluous. Asura's priority was to lead Pretty Girl to safety and await the results of this decisive battle.

They had started fleeing close to Jiali City, at the foot of the Jiali Mountain Range, so making their way into the mountain range was easier than ever. They were very familiar with this terrain and chose not to head towards Redemption Academy, to avoid bringing potential catastrophe there. Asura and Pretty Girl entered the mountain range from the side.

Upon entering the Jiali Mountain Range, Pretty Girl immediately felt a difference.

From Asura, a peculiar aura emanated, seemingly resonating with all the surrounding vegetation, encircling their bodies in such a way that it almost appeared as though they were merging with them. It made them blend in with the plants around them.

And Asura seemed to be receiving feedback from this resonance, which allowed his own vitality not to deplete due to the high-speed travel but instead to seem more vibrant.

"What kind of ability is this?" Pretty Girl watched him with amazement. This fellow was becoming more and more inscrutable. How did he know she was in danger? Why did he appear at the first instance to meet her? Could it be that he had always been by her side? Was it surveillance or protection?

It was a good ten minutes later before Asura slowed down his pace. By then, they had crossed over a mountain and entered the range of the Jiali Mountains.

The reason for slowing down was not because Asura felt that this place was safe, but because the Jiali Mountains ahead seemed to have become another world.

Dazzling lights shrouded the entire mountain range, clearly visible even from a great distance.

Those beams of light, shimmering with flowing colors, seemed to put a Crystal cover over the sky. And that brilliant light made everything else sparkle.

Under the shroud of crystal light, a silver radiance bloomed brilliantly, which was what made these crystal lights shine so brightly.

The dazzling lights flowed in the air, reflecting each other.

The Peacock Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor were finally about to make their move.

Even on the ground far away from the battlefield, Asura and Pretty Girl still felt a shivering sensation. It was a tremor from their bloodlines; the immense pressure from the superior beings seemed to make the heavens fall and the earth collapse.

Just then, a strong Life Aura flowed into her from the vines coiling around her waist. The warm aura circulated within her, making Pretty Girl feel a bit more comfortable.

When she turned her head to look at Asura, she was surprised to find that Asura had already returned to normal. His mask concealed his face so she couldn't see it, but his exceptionally bright eyes reflected the light of the sky.

"Chee—" A loud phoenix cry sounded, and in the sky, a giant silhouette that eclipsed the sun emerged right in the center of the crystal light.

From the ground, the figure spread its wings, which stretched for thousands of kilometers, appearing as if they were carved from Crystal, with three long, gigantic tail feathers of golden yellow, like Golden Crystal, lighting up the sky in gold.

On the other side, the silver glow also burst forth. The body was covered in silver fur, with Peacock feathers on its back, and wings spread wide. The silver light distorted, and though it was not as massive as the Crystal phoenix, that twisting of nothingness managed to hold up a patch of sky amidst the vast Crystal light.

The phoenix and the Peacock, in that high sky, seemed to be flaunting their beauty as kings of birds to the world.

Redemption Academy.

Sensing the change in the sky, teachers and students had already gathered in the courtyard.

Mayor Zhang Haoxuan rushed to the academy immediately, and Si Ru looked toward the sky with a grave expression, saying heavily, "The Peacock Demon King. Its opponent seems to be an even more terrifying existence."
