Chapter 61: Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl!
At the southwest region of Luofeng Canyon.
Five elders from the Wenxian Sect, under the mighty hammer of a demon marshal-level black bear demon, were already at a clear disadvantage.
The elder in the red robe, even more unfortunate, took a direct blow to the head. His skull shattered, and he died on the spot, brain matter splattering around.
The remaining four, though lucky to survive, were well aware that the black bear demon was clearly toying with them. It was like a wolf chasing a rabbit, not necessarily incapable of catching its prey, but rather making the prey exhaust itself before savoring the feast.
"Hehehe, none of you can escape!" The red glow in the black bear demon's eyes flickered as it lunged forward with a bear paw. It slammed the white-browed elder to the ground. The others gasped in horror as they witnessed the elder being torn into fragments by the demon's sharp claws, blood and flesh scattering in all directions.
The black bear licked its own claws, greedily sucking the fresh blood off them, and then chuckled with a sinister grin.
Giggle, giggle, giggle. The spider-woman also revealed a dreadful smile. "How about now? Won't you quickly reveal the whereabouts of Thirteenth Brother?"
"You damned demons, I have no idea what you're talking about!" Elder Tiejian's eyes were filled with fury. "If you want to kill, then kill. Give me a swift death!"
The spider-woman's three rows of eyes on her forehead started spinning in disarray. One of them looked at the tiger demon. "Boss, it seems like they really don't know about the Thirteenth Brother."
Within the Luofeng Canyon, there were originally no demons. If anyone had encountered other demons before, the impression would undoubtedly be quite profound.
"Don't know? Then don't waste any more time!" The tiger demon snorted coldly. "Number Three, settle this quickly!"
"Got it!" The black bear demon grinned. "Sorry, the boss is rushing me. You guys, just surrender and wait for your demise!"
The remaining three elders from the Wenxian Sect, with a glint of despair in their eyes, knew very well that in the presence of so many demons, including three demon marshals, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
Bang, bang, bang!
The black bear demon started running, its massive body causing the ground to quake with each step.
"Skull-Shattering Strike!"
The colossal beast-bone war hammer descended with formidable force upon Elder Tiejian's head. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Swoosh!
At that moment, a streak of sword light shot forth from the distant horizon. With a resounding clang, the ferocious force managed to push back the massive body of the black bear demon by several dozen steps.
The black bear demon looked ahead in astonishment, as if it had just seen a ghost.
Yan Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by shimmering golden light, resembling a deity descending to the mortal realm. He spoke coldly, "I'll say it again, hand over the item!"
The tiger demon, feeling a chill from Yan Jinghong's gaze, gritted its teeth and said, "What item? I don't know!"
"Hmph, little tiger, you stole my Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl. You've already reached the rank of demon marshal and even trained so many lackeys. Do you plan to resist until the end?" Yan Jinghong sneered.
Yan Jinghong's gaze turned cold. "Hand over the item! I don't want to repeat myself for the fourth time. Don't provoke my anger!"
As Yan Jinghong uttered the word 'anger', his voice had chilled to the point of freezing. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified.
"Brothers, attack!"
The tiger demon roared, and the black bear demon charged without the slightest hesitation, swinging its war hammer.
Subsequently, one after another, the demons all seized the opportunity to fly out.
There were wolf demons, pig demons, bat demons—all of them menacingly charging forward.
Although they had mutated into demons, their bloodline still retained the most primitive instincts of beasts.
The soldiers trained for a thousand days would be used in a single moment!
The reason the tiger demon took out the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl and mutated the qualified demonic beasts in Luofeng Canyon into demons was to have the capital for a major battle with Yan Jinghong today.
In the beginning, the tiger demon was merely a recently born black tiger cub. However, due to its possession of a high-level demonic beast bloodline, it caught the attention of Yan Jinghong, who decided to bring it along by his side.
Yan Jinghong was unaware that this little black tiger possessed intelligence far beyond human imagination.
It quickly seized an opportunity, escaping the battlefield during Yan Jinghong's fierce battle with a formidable foe. Moreover, it managed to steal a precious treasure of fate, the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl, from Yan Jinghong.
Utilizing the essence within the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl, it quickly advanced to become a demon marshal. Anticipating that Yan Jinghong wouldn't let the matter rest, it concealed itself in the Luofeng Canyon, cultivating its own power.
According to its plan, it could have cultivated a massive demon army. Unfortunately, that plan has now fallen apart.
"Originally, out of consideration for our past master-servant relationship, I didn't want to kill you. But this is your own doing," said Yan Jinghong, his voice cold and merciless. Once he made a move, he became the most ruthless killing machine.
Lin Yinyin silently stepped back. Although her cousin was four or five years younger than her, the power he possessed was probably beyond her ability to withstand, even if she combined all her strengths a hundredfold.
Yan Jinghong didn't need any help at all.
Because he's a legend. The only legendary genius of the Tianbai Empire!
