Chapter 12: 308: Old Partner

7 min read

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to issue a kill-on-sight order against him, a dignified Divinity Transformation Daoist Venerable?

In the moment Shangguan Yan was startled, Cang Huang had already charged at him.

Simultaneously, Cyan Dome's figure flickered and vanished without a trace.

Hong Luan's Primordial Spirit formed a blade, striking directly at Shangguan Yan.

"Courting death!" Shangguan Yan instantly erupted in fury, unleashing the full might of his Divinity Transformation aura.

The Eastern Desolation is far from the Demon Race of Nanling, and in those years, even if a half-demon was captured and brought to the Eastern Desolation to perform, most were low-level half-demons.

Therefore, Shangguan Yan's impression of half-demons was only one of baseness, weakness, and worthlessness.

It was his first time encountering a Tier Four half-demon today, and although he'd heard that half-demon bloodline abilities were unpredictable, he was confident, given his superior realm, that he should have no worries.

And at this moment, he understood that the array-breaking just now was likely not the work of a half-demon's attack capability but surely aided by a High-Tier Array-Break!

"Boom~" The Five-Colored True Flame at the Divinity Transformation Realm transformed into a giant dragon, instantly swallowing Cang Huang head-on.

Cang Huang neither dodged nor evaded, merely activating her blood fiend energy.

The crimson blood fiend energy surged from her body, seemingly materializing into blood and enveloping her.

In an instant, she appeared to undergo a baptism of blood and fire.

"Such a solidified blood fiend?" Shangguan Yan's gaze sharpened. This seemingly harmless little girl Cang Huang displayed such blood fiend energy that truly shocked him.

Especially since the blood fiend energy actually held its own against his Five-Colored True Flame, resulting in a tie for the moment.

"This half-demon is not simple!" Shangguan Yan hastily sent a message to the remaining three Nascent Soul elders of the Shangguan family.

"Pfft~" Yet before the message reached, another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was decapitated by a sweeping green shadow, his Divine Soul annihilated.

Buzz~ Distracted, Gongsun Dang felt a tremor in his Sea of Consciousness, as a Nascent Soul power stronger than his own rushed straight into his Sea of Consciousness.

"How is this possible? A Tier Four half-demon's Nascent Soul is stronger than mine?"

Roar~

The next moment, Cang Huang, with overwhelming blood fiend energy, broke through the shock to his Nascent Soul. Unable to control the Five-Colored True Flame's defense, she appeared before Shangguan Yan.

When Shangguan Yan barely managed to repel Hong Luan's Primordial Spirit attack, a small, blood-colored fist was already in front of him.

His Mana Shield activated spontaneously.

Clang!

The terrifying might of the scarlet blood fiend struck his Mana Shield atop the Divinity Transformation, roaring thunderously. The tremendous force pushed him back several feet.

Although it did not shatter the shield, it caused his entire body's magical power to tremble, slightly weakening it.

"This is the strength of a late Tier Four half-demon!" Shocked beyond belief, Shangguan Yan was simultaneously furious and ashamed.

Since advancing to Divinity Transformation, he had become one of the top existences in the entire Eastern Desolation, facing few strong enemies outside of the five ancient noble families and Sacred Land ancestors.

Yet now, he was pushed back several feet by this yellow-haired little girl!

"Void Hand Seal!"

A hand of condensed magical power suddenly reached out from in front of Cang Huang, grabbing her in its palm.

"Die!" At the same time, a long spear, carrying an overwhelming force, accompanied the Great Hand Seal, stabbing toward Cang Huang.

This was Shangguan Yan's life-bound Spiritual Treasure, now nurtured to the Seventh Grade. Not only was it incomparably sharp, containing his prime fire attribute essence, but it had already birthed an Artifact Spirit, its power comparable to an ordinary Ninth Grade Spiritual Treasure.

With this life-bound Spiritual Treasure, Shangguan Yan secured the tenth position in the Central Domain talent ranking ten years ago.

Without an equivalent-grade defensive Spiritual Treasure for protection, even Tier Five Body Cultivators of the Barbarian Prison Sacred Land dared not contend head-on.

"A late Tier Four half-demon, even with bloodline gifts, can its physique be stronger than a Tier Five Body Cultivator?" Shangguan Yan's gaze turned icy cold.

However, in the next moment, his pupils dilated in disbelief at the scene before him.

As Cang Huang was grabbed by the Great Hand Seal, the Secret Technique-conjured hand shattered instantly. Furthermore, the Flaming Spear struck firmly at Cang Huang's heart. Although it pierced through the blood fiend, it was firmly resisted by Cang Huang's body, unable to advance a millimeter further.

"This flesh and blood strength..." Shangguan Yan finally realized the seriousness of the situation; he had completely underestimated the strength of the bloodline half-demon.

"Elders, save me!" At this moment, a mournful cry came.

At the instant the third late-stage Nascent Soul's head flew off, the last late-stage Nascent Soul was utterly terrified. Facing Cyan Dome, who was hidden by the pinnacle of Secret Techniques, he lost the will to resist, and after tossing several spells and Spiritual Treasures backward, he fled towards Shangguan Yan.

At this moment, only beside Shangguan Yan did he feel a touch of safety.

Boom~

However, before he could reach Shangguan Yan, he saw Shangguan Yan's True Flame Shield explode around him.

Subsequently, the little yellow-haired girl charged in, swinging her blood fiend-covered fists in close combat.

Gulp~

He suddenly halted, watching the Patriarch being repeatedly struck by the girl's small fists, forcing him to retreat continuously.

A Divinity Transformation Daoist Venerable being overwhelmed by a Tier Four half-demon?

Furthermore, the protective shield of the Divinity Transformation Daoist Venerable weakened with each hit.

At this rate...

"Pfft~" The green shadow that terrified him finally appeared in his Divine Sense. Aside from instantaneous annihilation of his body, the Nascent Soul in his Sea of Consciousness was shredded by Cyan Dome's sword, not even giving his Divine Soul a chance to escape.

And just as his soul dissipated in his final moment, a more shocking scene unfolded before his eyes.

His Divinity Transformation realm Patriarch's protective shield was shattered.

Once the protective shield broke, the conclusion was inevitable.

"Ah! I am an elder of the Shangguan family, if you dare kill me, I will surely..." Shangguan Yan roared in despair and anger.

However, Cang Huang showed no hesitation, and her violent fists shattered his body in the next moment.

"Whoosh~" At the instant his body shattered, Shangguan Yan's Divine Soul fled, and without hesitation, he used the Soul Burning Escape Skill to escape towards the Central Domain of the Eastern Desolation at speeds ten times faster than corporeal flight.

"Swish~" Yet, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the well-prepared Hong Luan.

With a crack at her brow, a golden light instantly enveloped him.

Despite his howling, he was dragged into the vertical eye by Hong Luan without resistance.

In an instant, calmness returned,

Cyan Dome had already returned to stand silently behind Li Jizhou, holding her sword.

If one ignored the yellow-haired little girl crazily absorbing the blood and qi of Shangguan Yan's shattered body, and overlooked the decapitated four Nascent Soul elders of the Shangguan family, the scene bore no evidence of a Divinity Transformation battle.

"Gua~" Gua Gua was stunned, observing the entire process through the Heaven Covering Net in which it was bound.

The physically powerful yellow-haired girl, the elusive cyan figure, the eyebrow-borne vertical-eye of the alluring red figure...

"Gua gua gua~" Gua Gua croaked frantically.

But the four women paid it no mind, Cang Huang busy absorbing the blood and qi of High-Tier cultivators, and the other three stood quietly behind Li Jizhou, awaiting his command.

Li Jizhou smiled slightly, flew over to Gua Gua, and carefully observed.

The colorful hues had faded, leaving its body stained as if dyed by black ink, except for the unchanged, illusory eye on its back, exuding an even denser demonic aura.

At the sight of Li Jizhou, Gua Gua became instantly alert, having been terrorized by Human Race cultivators for over twenty years.

Feeling the Foundation Establishment aura of Li Jizhou, it wanted to intimidate, but seeing the three half-demons closely following, it shrank backward.

"Old friend, it's me!" Li Jizhou sent a telepathic message.
