Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Protecting and Being Protected_1
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock issued a painful wail, its body swaying several times in mid-air as it endured the pain, glaring angrily at the person who had injured it.
The person who had emerged from the ground was Yun Wang. The Divine Dog Family was most adept at Earth Attribute Magic, and for Yun Wang, the Earth Escape Skill was naturally a piece of cake.
While being surrounded and relentlessly attacked by the Tail Feather Golden Needles of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, with nowhere to escape, Yun Wang had burrowed into the ground, narrowly avoiding catastrophe. He took advantage of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s attack on Ye You to mount a successful sneak attack, injuring this formidable Sixth Order Demonic Beast.
Seeing Qin Sisi injured on his behalf, Ye You was filled with both guilt and anger. He gently placed Qin Sisi on the grass, then jumped into the air to confront the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock directly.
Seizing the opportunity while Yun Wang was battling the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock and Qin Sisi was causing a distraction, Ye You returned to the carcass of the female Moon Spirit Golden Peacock and drained its blood.
Blood is the essence of the body, and the blood of a Fifth Order Demonic Beast has excellent healing and spiritual power recovery effects.
At this moment, under the nourishment of the demonic beast’s blood, Ye You’s internal injuries had already healed up to seventy percent. Given a little more time, he would be able to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, there was no more time.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock looked at the black cat before it, then at Yun Wang, who was not far behind it, feeling a mixture of immense rage and disdain.
It refused to believe that a human and a tiny black cat, both inferior to it in strength, could defeat it.
Ye You’s eyes darkened as he raised his paw, and a dazzling golden scepter appeared before him. At the top of the scepter was a soaring Rainbow Phoenix, magnificent yet dignified, exuding a hint of the noble aloofness of solitude.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock was a bit taken aback. It seemed to vaguely recall seeing this scepter somewhere before, but it couldn’t remember where. All it could sense was the overpowering pressure emanating from the scepter.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s feathers were golden and used to look extremely bright and eye-catching. But when compared to this scepter, they immediately looked a lot dimmer.
A ball of deep blue light formed in Ye You’s small paw and was slowly infused into the Phoenix Scepter. The light of the Phoenix Scepter became increasingly dazzling, forcing the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock to squint its eyes.
"Phoenix Scepter, Roaring Thunder!"
With a roar, Ye You poured all the magic power he could summon into the Phoenix Scepter, invoking his lineage of the Jiu Xi royal family’s Phoenix descendants to summon the earth-shaking power of the Phoenix Scepter.
The originally bright and clear sky suddenly turned dark, as black clouds enveloped the entire sky. Lines of tiny lightning flashed in the clouds, eventually forming a massive bolt of lightning that practically lit up the entire sky.
Immediately after, a rumble of thunder erupted, as a tremendous thunderclap exploded in the sky, as if the fury of the heavens was being unleashed.
The Moon Spirit Golden Peacock suddenly remembered, this scepter was the legendary Phoenix Scepter, representing the inviolable dignity of the ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm.
It drew back, turning to fly away in the distance. The ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm was not one it should offend.
However, Yun Wang, standing behind it, had no intention of simply letting it escape.
"Flying Sand Stones!" Yun Wang shouted, bending his arms inward. A huge ball of light emerged in the center of his palm. He grit his teeth and pushed forcefully, sending a violent gust of wind mixed with sand and stones towards the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock.
The magic skill of Yun Wang could not yet harm this Sixth Order Demonic Beast, but it successfully prevented its escape. The incoming sand and stones obstructed the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock’s vision, causing it to squint its eyes.
Just as it was struggling to flap its wings and shake its tail feathers to dissipate the flying sand and stones and quickly find a way out, a brighter flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.
A gigantic bolt of lightning extended from the sky to the ground and unerringly hit the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock. This unfortunate Sixth Order Demonic Beast was immediately cooked both inside and out, its vigor completely extinguished.
With a "bang", the massive Moon Spirit Golden Peacock fell onto the grass, its eyes wide open, dead and staring.
The oppressive black clouds gradually dissipated, the sky returned to normal, and the sun was already setting, seemingly ready to sink below the horizon soon.
The next to fall onto the grass was Ye You.
Just because his internal injuries were largely healed did not mean his Magic Source had recovered. He had once again forcefully urged his Magic Source, overly using magical power, his Magic Source was now full of cracks, and he was now nearly exhausted.
Barely resisting the overwhelming feeling of weakness, he put the Phoenix Scepter into his Portable Space. Unable to hold himself up any longer, Ye You also fell straight from the sky onto the grass, emitting a dull thud.
"Your Highness!" Yun Wang ran over, kneeling on one knee before Ye You, looking at him with a face full of concern.
Ye You was extremely exhausted, and his normally sparkling eyes also began to dim. Exhausted, he spoke, "Yun Wang, fetch me the blood of that beast."
Yun Wang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "Yes."
With that, Yun Wang quickly ran to the carcass of the sixth order Moon Spirit Golden Peacock. He took out a sharp dagger and an iron bowl from his storage ring. Those who often tempered themselves outside always carried these essentials with them.
He used the dagger to cut the neck of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock and used the iron bowl to catch the flowing blood. When he filled the entire bowl, he carefully brought it to Ye You.
Ye You picked it up and drank half of it, then handed the other half back to Yun Wang, saying, "You drink the rest."
Yun Wang quickly shook his head, "No, I am fine. Your Highness, you should replenish your body!"
Ye You lifted his head and looked at Yun Wang, speaking in a resolute voice, "Drink up. I don’t have any energy left. You’ll have to get us through the rest of the journey."
Yun Wang hesitated slightly, then upended the bowl and drained the remaining blood.
Then, Yun Wang stowed away the dagger and the iron bowl and suggested to Ye You, "It’s getting dark. Shouldn’t we find somewhere nearby to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow?"
Ye You shook his head decisively, saying, "No, Tian Xiaozi can definitely sense the aura of the Phoenix Scepter. Our location is already exposed. We must make our way to the Divine Dog City immediately. Also, Sisi is severely injured. In my current state, I can’t save her. We need Qing Xun or Jing Jing to take action."
Yun Wang’s expression changed, and he finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, wait here for me. I will be back shortly."
With that, Yun Wang stood up and ran off into the distance.
Ye You watched his retreating figure. He saw that Yun Wang’s clothes were also torn in several places. His walk included a bit of a limp, and one of his arms was hanging rigidly down, not daring to swing with his body. It was clear that both his arm and leg were injured.
Ye You lowered his head, looking at the unconscious Qin Sisi and said softly, "Sisi, hang in there a bit longer, I will definitely save you."
Throw a peach to repay a jade.
I will fight to protect those who tried so desperately to protect me.
