816: 236_6 816: 236_6 The next moment, piercing, spine-chilling screeches erupted.
Above the ground, resentful spirits shot out, their thick aura of death coalescing.
These spirits did not attack Qian Jiao but instead swirled around Qian Wu.
As Qian Jiao unleashed the overwhelming force of her sneak attack, one after another, the resentful spirits burst apart, but with that, the power of Qian Jiao’s attack also began to diminish.
Seizing the opportunity, Qian Wu quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Qian Jiao.
He looked at her with an icy expression and said coldly, “Qian Jiao, you dare to sneak attack me?
Have you lost your mind?
Do you want to doom your Sun and Moon Demon Sect?”
Cao Zhen was stunned by the sudden turn of events before him.
What was happening?
That Qian Wu was not a member of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect but belonged to the Third Prince.
Qian Jiao had just realized who the other party was when she suddenly made her move.
Indeed, Qian Jiao harbored great dissatisfaction toward the Third Prince and his people.
So, before he even made his move, they had started fighting among themselves?
It seemed he could make use of these people.
Cao Zhen continued to watch.
Qian Jiao’s sneak attack had not succeeded, yet her face bore no hint of panic.
She scoffed disdainfully, “If you die, naturally, no one will know it was I who killed you.”
“Kill me?
With you?” Qian Wu scoffed, shaking his head slightly, “I really can’t understand why you would sneak attack me.
Why oppose the Third Prince?
He has promised to make you one of his consorts once he reclaims the throne and ascends.”
“You think I’m keen on becoming his consort?
He wants me as his consort only to fully win over and bind our Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Besides, among all the princes, the Third Prince is not the most outstanding.
At the very least, I know that the Fourth Prince has also entered the ruins, and he is far more distinguished than the Third Prince.
Whether he can even ascend the throne is a separate matter.”
Cao Zhen’s heart trembled once more.
Those who entered the ruins were not just the Third Prince; there was also the Fourth Prince, who was even more accomplished!
It sounded like there was competition between the Third and Fourth Princes, so they didn’t enter the ruins together but separately.
But where were the Fourth Prince and his men?
And furthermore, the Fourth Prince…
On the other hand, hearing Qian Jiao’s words, Qian Wu became visibly agitated, “The Fourth Prince?
He’s better than the Third Prince?
Ridiculous; how could he compare to the Third Prince…”
Suddenly, he realized, shouting aloud, “I get it now, you must be one of the Fourth’s!
Eclipse Demon, hurry, this Qian Jiao has long since secretly defected to the Fourth.
Join me, and we shall kill her.
The Third Prince will surely reward you richly.
Your Sun and Moon Demon Sect is supposed to be with our Third Prince.
It is the Red Refinery Demonic Sect that supports the Fourth Prince.
She won’t have a good end by defecting to him.
Kill her!”
“Good!”
The Eclipse Demon nodded vigorously, and the next moment, from his mouth came the unsophisticated and plain sound of a xun, echoing around him, ethereal as if the sounds of heaven.
Hardly had Qian Wu heard this sound, he was briefly immersed in a daze.
Almost at the same time, Qian Jiao advanced suddenly, revolving around Qian Wu.
Amidst her swirling, a series of bell-like, crisp sounds emanated from her mouth.
Enchanting Music!
In the midst of these two successive sounds, Qian Wu’s face even began to look intoxicated.
The next moment, the sound of the xun abruptly changed.
Above the corridor, fierce bestial roars suddenly burst forth.
It was as if from the Savage Era, behemoth Strange Beasts the size of mountains let out a series of ferocious roars and terrifying bellows.
The sound shook the heavens, causing the surrounding space to fracture in pieces, and from all directions, visible Sonic Waves surged towards Qian Wu.
Ten Sounds of Destruction!
What the Eclipse Demon had been cultivating in seclusion was precisely this Ten Sounds of Destruction!
The multitude of air waves struck Qian Wu, slamming him onto the ground.
Before he could react, Qian Jiao, who had been revolving around him—a look of seductive charm on her face—suddenly revealed a bone-chilling intent to kill!
In her hands, a grand hammer materialized, striking furiously towards Qian Wu, who laid on the ground!
With a single hammer blow, as if a towering mountain had plummeted, it struck his face directly, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew.
Qian Wu’s breath was extinguished instantly, and the next moment, more Sonic Waves bombarded him.
In just a short moment, Qian Wu’s life force had completely vanished.
Cao Zhen shook his head lightly at the swiftly slain Qian Wu.
Although Qian Wu was not notably strong, he was still of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Even just before, when Qian Wu fended off Qian Jiao’s sneak attack, he seemed stronger than Nie Jie,
Qian Wu had met such a swift death simply because he was terribly unlucky.
They might have known about the Eclipse Demon, but except for himself, no one knew the Eclipse Demon had cultivated the Ten Sounds of Destruction!
Caught off guard by his sudden attack, Qian Wu was doomed.
Moreover, that Divine Skill Qian Jiao used just now was likely a Charm Attack.
He himself hadn’t felt the full effects of that Divine Skill, but judging by Qian Wu’s reaction, it must have been a Charm Attack.
And the Ten Sounds of Destruction seemed to perfectly complement Qian Jiao’s Charm Attack, so Qian Wu was utterly entranced.
In a battle between masters of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, a moment of intoxication is sufficient to be fatal, so Qian Wu’s death was not surprising.
It was just his bad luck.
As for that Qian Jiao, he found her somewhat unexpected.
Could she be a traitor?
Was what Qian Wu said true?
Was Qian Jiao really a person of the Fourth Prince?
The Eclipse Demon seemed puzzled by this question as well.
He didn’t deal with Qian Wu’s body right away but looked at Qian Jiao and asked, “Are you with the Fourth Prince?”
Qian Jiao didn’t answer the Eclipse Demon right away but looked at him with a complex expression and asked, “In what capacity are you asking me this question?”
After a moment of silence, the Eclipse Demon replied softly, “I’m your senior brother, little snot-nosed girl.”
