254: Chapter 31: Killing the Embryo (6k)_3 254: Chapter 31: Killing the Embryo (6k)_3 The reason for doing so
was only one.
In their eyes, this young man of the Human Race who was in Resentful Ghost Ridge with Ao Ying had already become a “dead man.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi looked back slightly and glanced at the woman in red who had fallen to the ground.
The stunningly beautiful woman named Ao Ying still looked pitiable.
She didn’t forget to smooth her hair and cast a pleading look at Xie Xuanyi.
Xie Xuanyi could hear a hum in his Heart Lake, welcoming a tremor.
This woman’s mastery of Divine Soul was not shallow.
If it were someone else, they might truly be “bewitched” and rush forward desperately.
But unfortunately,
this Divine Soul seduction was completely ineffective against Xie Xuanyi.
His expression did not change in the slightest.
Seeing this, Ao Ying’s gaze grew much darker.
She stopped pretending, no longer showing her frail appearance, but rather shook off her tattered sleeves and stood up from the ice and snow.
“As you see, these people are all here to kill me.”
After Ao Ying stood up, she dusted off the frost and snow from her body, and a thread of Divine Thought transmitted, “Your best choice… is to join me and kill them all.
After that, you can take your Yangguan path, and I’ll take my single-plank bridge.”
At this moment,
she no longer “concealed” the demon aura on her body.
A stream of red splendor flowed out from Ao Ying’s forehead, which was the reason she seemed so “stunning.” A small piece of dragon scale, fitting right above her brow, was not merely decorative.
It also elevated her Divine Soul’s charm to a whole new level.
Besides that,
two small protuberances were slightly raised on the sides of her snow-white forehead, forming two small horns.
Seeing this,
Xie Xuanyi was somewhat surprised…
Is this a Dragon Descendant?
The woman either possessed an extremely high-level stealth technique or carried a Spiritual Treasure or higher-grade Divine Soul Magic Artifact.
He had actually not seen before that this was a demon!
As the saying goes,
the flowers you intend to bloom may not flower, but the willows planted without intention may grow to provide shade.
Last time during the Northern Hunt, Xie Xuanyi searched everywhere for demons to claim the championship and almost scoured the entire Snow Mountain, killing all the Great Demons detectable by his Divine Thought.
Only with great difficulty did he find a phoenix.
Now,
he had no intention of participating in the Northern Hunt, yet he encountered an extremely precious Dragon Descendant right from the start.
Xie Xuanyi did not respond to Ao Ying.
He simply looked toward the distant mountains where demonic shadows were gathering and said in a soft voice, “Sorry, I’m in a hurry…
I really have no time to play with you.”
Resentful Ghost Ridge was south of Li Lan Mountain’s border.
For these Grotto Heaven Great Demons to reach this place, it was already an act of “trespassing.”
Clearly,
other forces were behind these Great Demons.
Looking further into it might reveal some shocking secrets…
If this was in the past, none of these demons would have been able to escape.
But now,
Xie Xuanyi didn’t have that much time to entangle with these Great Demons.
His intuition told him that it wouldn’t be long before someone came to investigate the crash of the Jiageng vessel.
Perhaps the strong from the Imperial City would soon arrive nearby.
Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.
“I don’t know her, and if you let me go, I will also let you go.”
His words resonated.
Ao Ying paused for a moment, and the few Grotto Heaven Great Demons standing on the mountaintop, which had been gathering, also paused.
“Idiot!”
Ao Ying said coldly, “Have you dealt with demons before?
Do you think those words will work?”
Indeed,
in the next moment,
one of the Grotto Heaven Great Demons standing on the mountain couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Let us go?”
The demons seemed to hear an extremely funny joke.
The Snow Mountain trembled.
Demon aura raged.
The only one not laughing was Xie Xuanyi.
Xie Xuanyi sighed softly, looking at the Grotto Heaven Great Demons who had finished assembling, and in a soft voice asked, “So, what’s your choice?”
“If you’re willing to kneel down, establish a Divine Soul oath and swear to only be a ‘human slave’ for life, maybe we can consider letting you go,”
a Great Demon said with a bold laugh, “Prince Jiu loves ‘human slaves’ the most!
A tender and delicate young man like you would most please the Prince!”
Prince Jiu?
Xie Xuanyi tilted his head slightly; he knew the name.
Years ago,
when Da Chu fought with the Demon Country,
Prince Jiu was a young genius under the command of the Xuanhuang Venerable of the Demon Country…
rumoured to be extremely talented in cultivation and certain to become a Great Venerate in the future.
“Are you Demon Cultivators from Chi Ling City?”
Xie Xuanyi smiled, “I’ve heard that Chi Ling City is ruthless, so it seems there’s no chance for negotiation.”
“Indeed.”
The Great Demon was still laughing, contemptuously adding, “If it were any other time, you might have a chance to live, but now that you stand with this demoness, even if you willingly become a ‘human slave’, Prince Jiu wouldn’t want you.”
“Fine.”
Xie Xuanyi nodded.
The next moment,
the Grotto Heaven Great Demon standing miles away suddenly had his smile freeze on his face.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he saw a figure in black robes appear out of nowhere before him.
Xie Xuanyi ignited the Primordial Fire of his 108 major meridians.
After reaching the Golden Body Realm,
these Primordial Fires were no longer confined to his blood.
His entire body ignited with firelight.
In an instant, he stepped forward a hundred yards, creating a series of sonic booms, and simultaneously unsheathed his sword.
A blade of grass in the spring breeze turned into a long line and slashed down at the head of this Grotto Heaven Great Demon!
“Slash!”
A crisp sound like tearing paper echoed through the Snow Mountain.
This Grotto Heaven Great Demon exerted all his strength and lifted his hands, trying to withstand the sword with his diamond-hard body.
But his entire shell was split in two and exploded on the spot.
Hot blood spurted out and splashed in all directions.
This moment
left all the Great Demons standing there astonished.
But this was just the beginning.
Xie Xuanyi wielded his sword to commence his massacre.
Thirteen Grotto Heaven Great Demons were indeed a force not to be underestimated…
but unfortunately for them, their quantity would not decide the outcome of the battle against Xie Xuanyi.
