Chapter 2841 - 2845: Walking on the Sword

"That’s impossible!"

Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ exclaimed in horror, fear growing in his heart.

"There’s nothing impossible about it. I’ve said it before, I consumed him—more precisely, absorbed his Bloodline Power."

Ling Xiao chuckled lightly.

"Alright, both of them are dead now. Next it’s your turn, my Deputy Sect Master!"

"No! I can’t die yet!"

Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ suddenly shouted, turned around, and fled, disappearing into the distance in a flash.

"Wow, how did he run so fast!"

Watching Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ escape, Ling Xiao had no intention of pursuing him.

After consecutively slaughtering Xue Zhan, Dark Dragon, and Shan Tian Zhanɡ, he was indeed very tired.

And to be honest, he didn’t have much chance of winning if he were to fight Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ now.

It would definitely be a bitter fight.

When he was devouring Dark Dragon, he unexpectedly received a shocking piece of news.

That was the Overlord Blade Gui Li and the Chen Dynasty Army had conspired, and had already broken through Demon Dragon City.

He was really anxious to hurry back.

The reason he came out and didn’t escape immediately but instead killed Shan Tian Zhanɡ first was purely to intimidate Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ so that he could fight more easily.

Now that Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ fled, things had become simpler.

"Master, Mountain Master, Xiao Jin, Mu Qinɡ, Red Demoness, Chen Luan, none of you must have any accidents.

I’ll be back right away!"

Ignoring Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ, Ling Xiao tossed the Demon Dragon Sword into the air and then jumped onto it.

"Back to Demon Dragon City!"

This Nine Sons Demon Dragon Sword was unlike ordinary Magical Treasures.

It had its own consciousness, similar to Monster Beasts, and could fly by itself without consuming its owner’s Inner strength.

To Ling Xiao, riding the Demon Dragon Sword back to Demon Dragon City was clearly more carefree and effortless.

Swoosh!

A sword light shot off into the distance.

Ling Xiao stood steadily on the wide blade, simply closed his eyes, and started consolidating his Cultivation Level.

During the previous battle, although he hadn’t managed to break through, his Cultivation Level had already reached the peak of the Hell Mid Phase in the Twelfth-Level Hell.

He needed some time to settle down.

Moreover, due to the large consumption during the battle, he needed a good recovery.

...

At this moment, on a grassland more than ten miles away from Demon Dragon City, a few figures were battling fiercely against a Monster Beast.

There were four people in total.

Among them were Ling Xiao’s old acquaintances, Mu Qinɡ and Chen Luan.

The other two were somewhat unfamiliar.

One was a young man, about twenty years old.

The other was a middle-aged man around forty years old.

Mu Qinɡ and Chen Luan had received orders from Sect Master Chen Buyi to rush outside the city for reinforcements before the city fell.

The Demon Dragon Sect had several branches outside the city, apart from those secretly bought off by Yun Zhonɡ Fenɡ, there were still a few loyal to Chen Buyi.

They were precisely seeking help from these branches.

However, to their shock, all those branches still loyal to Chen Buyi had been wiped out.

Only the middle-aged man and young man accompanying them were rescued.

The young man’s name was Feng Ran, and the middle-aged man was his father Feng Hao.

One was the Vice Master of a branch, and the other was the branch master.

Having failed to bring reinforcements, Mu Qinɡ and Chen Luan planned to return to Demon Dragon City, determined to stand with the Demon Dragon Sect.

However, they encountered the Battle Beasts bred by the Chen Dynasty Army along the way.

This was a terrifying Demon Tiger whose strengths had reached the Intermediate Stage One-star Yin-Yang Realm in the Twelfth-Level Hell.

Standing six meters tall and nearly ten meters long.

It could spew fire, and its claws and teeth were extremely sharp.

"Miss Mu Qinɡ, this monster is too strong, you should handle it."

Feng Hao suggested, "My injuries haven’t fully healed, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help much.

Feng Ran’s strength is insufficient."

"What are you two talking about? It was Mu Qinɡ who saved you, and over the years, Sect Master has always treated you well, how can you let Mu Qinɡ take risks alone."

Chen Luan was a bit angry.

"Brother Chen Luan, don’t say that. You two stay aside, I’ll handle this Demon Tiger."

Although Mu Qinɡ felt somewhat upset.

But Feng Hao was indeed injured, forcing him to fight could worsen his injuries, making him useless upon returning to Demon Dragon City.

As she spoke, she walked forward alone to face the fierce Demon Tiger.

Although the Demon Tiger’s Cultivation Level was inferior to hers, its hide was tough, and its combat power wasn’t necessarily weaker, this battle might be tough.

"Mu Qinɡ, let me help you. Your strength is great, but along this journey, you’ve been fighting against the pursuers of the Chen Dynasty and those rebellious traitors.

Regardless, let me assist you."

Chen Luan couldn’t help saying.

"No need, your duty is to take care of them."

Mu Qinɡ shook her head, understanding Chen Luan’s good intentions, but his strength was too far off from the Demon Tiger, hardly helpful.

If anyone were to truly help, it would be Feng Hao, but alas, he’s injured.

"Alright, be careful then. But if there’s true danger, I will step in."

After Chen Luan finished speaking, he stepped aside and readied his weapons.

He knew he couldn’t be much help, but he could certainly shield Mu Qinɡ in critical moments.

Exchanging his life for Mu Qinɡ’s was absolutely worthwhile.

At least, that’s what he thought.

Soon, Mu Qinɡ engaged the Demon Tiger in battle.

Feng Hao and Feng Ran sat resting some distance from the battlefield and Chen Luan.

"Dad, will your injuries be alright?"

Feng Ran asked.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Actually, my injuries healed long ago, but given the unclear situation, how could we easily become enemies of the Chen Royal Family?

Wait and see. If the situation turns unfavorable, we’ll kill these two and use it as a pledge, joining the Chen Dynasty.

After all, it’s all the same enjoying riches."

Feng Hao sneered.

"Father, you’re so clever! I thought you would foolishly go to Demon Dragon City to help Chen Buyi. He’s like the autumn grasshopper now, won’t last for long."

Feng Ran said excitedly.

"That’s not certain, which is why we wait, in case Chen Buyi has some trump cards to turn the tide, helping him would be possible.

Though being a fence-sitter is frowned upon, it allows one to live long.

We should side with whoever is stronger."

Feng Hao said proudly.

"No wonder you wouldn’t act, I knew that Demon Tiger, you should take care of it easily if you did."

Feng Ran laughed.

As they spoke, suddenly a loud sound came from the battlefield.

As it turned out, Mu Qinɡ and the Demon Tiger’s battle was nearing its end.

The Demon Tiger was severely injured by Mu Qinɡ, on the verge of death.

Mu Qinɡ, having spent a lot of energy, stood there panting heavily.

"I’ll help you finish it!"

Suddenly, Feng Ran leaped forward and pierced the Demon Fox’s throat, then cut off its massive head.

Before Mu Qinɡ could speak, Feng Ran had already taken the Demon Tiger’s Demon Beast Crystal Core and slipped it into his Storage Ring.

This scene made Mu Qinɡ smile bitterly, but because the Demon Dragon Sect now needed Feng Hao’s combat power, she said nothing.

Chen Luan, however, found it difficult to hold back.
