Chapter 729: Chapter 729 Battle for Life and Death_1
It had only been away for a moment, and yet its dearest child has now lost its life. How could it not be enraged? How could it not feel hate?
The female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s deep blue eyes blazed with fury, and its golden body began to be enshrouded in a faint golden mist due to its immense sadness and anger.
Yun Wang clenched his teeth, gripping the Divine Dog’s Fury, standing opposite the female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock.
His mission was to safely escort Ye You to the Divine Dog city, no difficulty could stand in his way, unless his soul mind was destroyed entirely.
After another shrill cry, the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s dazzlingly bright tail feathers quivered, and countless glimmering golden needles were fired at Yun Wang.
This technique was the same as the one used by the young Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, except that it carried the additional weight of the mother’s vast experience. While the young Peacock’s Tail Feather Golden Needles only attacked from one direction, the mother’s attacks came from all around, leaving no avenue for escape for the opponent.
Thousands upon thousands of golden needles attacked from all directions, their severity impossible to resist. Yun Wang had no choice but to deploy "Stone Turtle Armor" for defense once more.
However, the attack from a Fifth Order Demonic Beast was incomparable to a Second Order Demonic Beast.
The ceaseless golden needles crashed against the magical armor Yun Wang summoned for protection. The needles were blocked, but the blunt force of the needles managed to penetrate the Stone Turtle Armor, impacting Yun Wang’s body.
By the time all the golden needles had fallen, the Stone Turtle Armor shattered, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Yun Wang’s mouth, clearly having suffered internal injuries.
The female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s eyes showed a gleam of victory, and its elegant neck angled high. Seeing this, Yun Wang leapt up urgently and swung the Divine Dog’s Fury at the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock with all his might.
They would definitely find it hard to withstand the Fifth Order Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s Sonic Attack. If they were to be hit, all three of them would likely be in mortal danger, so Yun Wang desperately strove to prevent the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock from launching a Sonic Attack.
The power of the Magic Star combined with the might of the Divine Artifact, Divine Dog’s Fury, was formidable enough to instill fear in anyone.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock had to momentarily abandon its Sonic Attack, opening its wings to evade.
With one a Fifth Order Demonic Beast and the other a human Magic Star armed with a Divine Artifact, the one-on-one battle was tightly contested, both offense and defense, back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand for some time.
Ye You furrowed his brow in concern, realizing that they couldn’t continue like this. This was not their home turf, and the longer it dragged on, the more unpredictable it would become.
After some thought, he swept his paw upward, creating an Invisible Bubble, and said to Qin Sisi, "Sisi, let’s sneak up on it from behind."
Qin Sisi nodded vigorously, her expression serious. Controlling the Wings of Rainbow, she flew behind the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, waiting with Ye You for the right opportunity.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, completely focused on its battle with Yun Wang, failed to notice another person and cat silently vanish from sight.
Seizing the moment it once again dodged the Divine Dog’s Fury, Ye You waved his paw, yelling: "Meteors Rain of Fire!"
Countless purple sparks scattered out from Ye You’s paw, descending like a rain of fire from the sky towards the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock.
Caught by surprise, the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock had no defense; by the time it reacted, it was already too late.
It had managed to dodge Yun Wang’s Divine Dog’s Fury, and most of the Meteors Rain of Fire, but eventually, a few drops of purple sparks landed on its bright golden feathers.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
The golden feathers were quickly ignited by the purple sparks, producing black smoke from the body of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock.
It cried out in panic, hurriedly falling to the ground and vigorously beating the flames on its body, trying to extinguish the fire.
It was then that Yun Wang’s Divine Dog’s Fury struck again. The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock fumbled to dodge it, seizing the opportunity to spew a golden flame at Yun Wang.
In urgency, Yun Wang immediately used "Solid as Golden Soup" for defense. Fortunately, the peacock’s panic reduced the power of its attack, otherwise Yun Wang would have struggled to withstand the peacock’s flaming attack.
Even so, the flames spewed by the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, after melting the shield of "Solid as Golden Soup", sent some residual waves towards Yun Wang’s body.
Yun Wang swiftly retreated, suffering some injuries. He used his arm to withstand some of the attack, leading to his entire left arm scorched black and his clothes gone.
Whilst the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock attacked Yun Wang, Ye You once again cast "Meteors Rain of Fire"; although this spell didn’t have a strong killing power, it was suitable for ranged and wide-area attacks.
Now severely injured, with his Magic Source damaged, and Qin Sisi’s magic power being too weak for close confrontation with the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, he chose "Meteors Rain of Fire" to gradually defeat the opponent, even if invisibility might result in him getting injured in a counter-attack.
A single fireball attack could easily miss the agile peacock. Hence, Ye You opted for the Meteors Rain of Fire to incrementally break down the enemy.
Several more purple sparks fell on the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock. It cried out loudly, making an all-out effort to spit a burst of fire towards the source of the Meteors Rain of Fire. However, Qin Sisi had already moved, so the burst of fire naturally missed.
The female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was unable to extinguish the Ziwei Heaven Fire on its body. The burning agony slowed its movements and caused it to constantly cry out.
Yun Wang seized the opportunity and once again unleashed Divine Dog’s Fury, finally striking in front of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock.
With a shrill cry, the front chest of the female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was torn apart, blood streaming down. It fell weakly on the grass, evidently not going to make it.
But just as Qin Sisi and the others were letting out a sigh of relief, a clear and resonant cry broke through the sky from a distance, causing their eardrums to ache.
Looking up hurriedly, they saw another Moon Spirit Golden Peacock soaring towards them, its gleaming golden wings flapping vigorously.
This Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was grander and more majestic. Its tail feathers were around three meters long, and several rigid golden feathers adorned its head, topped with a small golden sphere, making it look like it was wearing a crown.
Yun Wang despairingly said, "This is a male Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, could it be..."
He did not finish his sentence, but Qin Sisi and Ye You caught his drift, their hearts sinking.
If this newly arrived male Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was the father of that young Moon Spirit Golden Peacock and the husband of the female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, seeing his wife and child being slaughtered, how could he possibly let it go?
"Run!" Ye You realized the severity of the situation. The female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was a Fifth Order Demonic Beast, which they had narrowly defeated.
The presence of this male Moon Spirit Golden Peacock seemed to reach Sixth Order. Even at full strength, they wouldn’t stand a chance, and their Vitality was largely damaged at this point.
Qin Sisi immediately flapped her Wings of Rainbow, flying swiftly to a distance. Yun Wang, enduring the excruciating pain in his arm, followed close behind, hoping that the Male Moon Spirit Golden Peacock would mourn his wife and child for a moment, providing them some time to escape.
