Chapter 282: Chapter 257 Lord Xueshen_1
Black fog filled the air, demonic qi surged, accompanied by a rich blood light.
This was an extremely large figure in the shape of a human, standing at a height of 20 meters, with horns on its head, wide mouth filled with sharp teeth, its body covered with scales.
Especially on its back, were a pair of giant meat wings, spread out, over forty meters wide.
However, you could see that it and its wings were covered with cuts and bruises.
Particularly its brow, there was a blood hole, dreadful and terrifying. The flesh around the blood hole was constantly squirming, but it seemed to never heal.
"An ancient demon, a surviving ancient demon from the early ages! Lu Yan, run now!"
Shen Yinuo’s face turned pale, pulled Lu Yan’s arm and hurriedly retreated.
Roar!
With a roar, the ancient demon made the earth shake. Its blood-red eyes swept over everyone, exposing its greed and desire.
"Go, kill them."
Yan Shiqing pointed at Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, Xiang Yun, and the others.
Roar!
The ancient demon roared, grabbing someone in mid-air, and this figure screamed in fear.
It was a grandmaster from the Yan Clan.
Opening its mouth, the ancient demon swallowed the Yan Clan’s grandmaster, crunching it down.
Yan Shiqing’s face changed, and a small bell appeared in his hand.
He began to ring it.
Roar, roar, roar...
Under the influence of the bell, the ancient demon began to howl, its demonic qi bursting out stronger and thicker.
"The ancient demon seems uncontrollable, leave quickly, let’s get out of here."
Xiang Yun shouted. He and another bodyguard of King Ming, freeing themselves from their adversaries, charged with Lu Yan towards the exit.
The ancient demon’s power was fearful, surpassing the True Body Realm and likely at the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Staying would be pointless, it would result in certain death.
Roar...
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...
The ancient demon and Yan Shiqing were still in a standoff, which offered an excellent chance for them to escape.
The four of them were extremely fast and quickly escaped the Hidden Blood Land Vein.
"Let’s go to Xuanhuo City and meet up with Chu Feng and Lin Lian."
Xiang Yun said.
Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo had no objections, so the four of them raced to Xuanhuo City.
Just when they were dozens of miles away from Xuanhuo City, a terrible roar came from behind them, and a wave of darkness rapidly surged towards them.
It was clearly Demonic Qi.
The huge figure of the ancient demon flew in pursuit of them.
Upon closer inspection, two figures were standing on the shoulders of the ancient demon.
One was Yan Shiqing, holding a small bell.
The other was another Martial Venerable of the Yan Clan.
"Catch up with them and devour them, you will recover a lot of your Origin Energy."
Yan Shiqing pointed at Lu Yan and the others.
With a determined look on their faces, the four of them pushed their speeds to the limit and covered the distance in the blink of an eye.
Gliding like giant birds, they crossed over the city and landed at the stationed area for the bodyguards of King Ming in Xuanhuo City. They saw Chu Feng and Lin Lian who were having tea with the family head of Yan Clan.
Seeing Xiang Yun and the others, the head of Yan Clan’s face slightly changed.
"We are in big trouble. The Yan Clan has somehow summoned an ancient demon using evil martial food, and it’s heading our way."
Xiang Yun quickly explained the situation.
Roar!
A demon roar could be heard from outside the city.
"Yan Cong, your entire family is in big trouble."
Lin Lian slammed the table until it shattered.
The head of Yan Clan stood up, backed off a hundred meters, and laughed in the air, "Finally, our moment has arrived. From today, the Yan Clan no longer depends on others. In alliance with the Shengxuan Sect, what have we to fear from King Ming?"
A surge of demonic qi rolled over the city.
The enormous shadow of the ancient demon appeared above Xuanhuo City, causing chaos. People were screaming with fear, and Xuanhuo City was in turmoil.
Yan Shiqing, who was on the shoulder of the ancient demon, immediately spotted Lu Yan and the others.
"Kill them, leave no one alive."
Yan Shiqing pointed at Lu Yan and the others.
Roar!
The ancient demon roared fiercely, its eyes were brutal, it suddenly grabbed Yan Shiqing.
"What are you doing?"
Yan Shiqing’s face changed drastically. He exerted all his strength to resist, ringed the bell at the same time, but it was futile.
The ancient demon exerted force and just like that, Yan Shiqing, a powerful being at the True Body Realm, was crushed like an egg, turning into a lump of flesh.
The ancient demon gulped down the lump of flesh.
It could be seen that the blood light on its body intensified, the wounds and cuts on its body and wings visibly healed a bit, except the blood hole on its brow remained unchanged.
The other Martial Venerable of Yan Clan on its shoulder, seeing this, leaped away.
However, the ancient demon caught him mid-air, put him in its mouth, and began to chew.
"How can this be?"
The head of Yan Clan’s face turned pale with disbelief. He pulled out a small bell, infused it with his True Vigor, and began to ring it.
The bell rang all over the field.
Roar!
However, the ancient demon seemed to be in pain, it howled while holding its head then with a powerful flap of its wings, turned into a streak of demon light and charged towards the head of Yan Clan.
The head of Yan Clan’s face changed drastically, and he retreated quickly.
However, the ancient demon’s speed was evidently faster than his; it immediately caught up with the Family Head of Yan Clan and, smashed him with a palm strike.
"No..."
The Family Head of Yan Clan let out an unwilling roar, dropped the bell, his fists turned bright red, and continuously smashed out several dozen punches.
However, this mighty individual who had reached the level of True Body Fifth Refinement was flattened into a pulp by the ancient demon’s palm strike, and then devoured with a single breath.
At this point, all four Martial Venerables of the Yan Clan have perished.
Three of whom were ironically killed by the ancient demon they rescued through painstaking process.
After killing the Family Head of the Yan Clan, the ancient demon let out a roar and sucked in towards Xuanhuo City below. Immediately, hundreds of silhouettes screaming flew towards its gaping mouth, and when they got close to it, they were wrapped in a swirl of demonic Qi, exploding one after another, transforming into blood mist that was consumed by the ancient demon.
"Heh heh heh..."
"This is a pure-blood demon that has survived since ancient times, how can the Yan Clan control it? They’re too naive."
Weird laughter echoed out and, unknown when, a figure appeared on the shoulder of the ancient Demon.
This was a tall, skinny old man with a pale face, wearing a blood-red robe, his blood-red hair fluttering in the wind.
His aura was rampant, his eyes cold, staring at Lu Yan and the others who had already fled outside the city, saying, "Catch up with them, kill them all, leave no one alive."
The ancient demon let out a low growl, thundering its wings and rushed towards Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and Chu Feng.
After consuming the three top experts of Yan Clan, the strength of the ancient demon clearly strengthened a lot, and its speed was also faster than before.
The ancient demon made out a bizarre syllable, its wings flapped fiercely, blood light and demonic Qi blended together into a deep red demonic Qi, like a raging tide rushing towards Lu Yan and the others.
The speed was extremely terrifying and closing in rapidly.
"We must fight."
Chu Feng shouted loudly, spun around abruptly, True Vigor exploded, he took a deep breath, turned and pushed out both palms.
The air in front of his palms was drastically compressed and whistling out, rushing towards the demonic Qi tide.
Lin Lian, Xiang Yun, Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and the five people from Feng’s family also turned around and attacked at the same time.
Just like Feng’s family, Lin Lian used his sword and split out a sword light several tens of meters long. Xiang Yun thrust forward with his spear, and the strong vigour was like a giant pillar rushing towards the demonic Qi tide.
Lu Yan shot five arrows in an instant, and Shen Yinuo threw out five flying knives.
However, their attacks shattered upon impact with the demonic Qi tide.
The gap was too big.
Just as they all started to despair, a spark of starlight lit up in front of the demonic Qi tide, then it got brighter and brighter, like the sun, forcibly tearing open the demonic Qi tide.
The demonic Qi tide rushed over from both sides and the place where Lu Yan and the others stood became a safe area.
Unknown when, a figure already stood in front of Lu Yan and the others, holding a spear straight-backed, like an immovable mountain.
"Commander."
Chu Feng, Xiang Yun and the others were overjoyed.
"Chu Long."
Lu Yan felt a flicker in his heart and also showed a smile on his face.
The demonic Qi tide just now was split by Chu Long with a single spear strike.
"You guys stay back, this demon has regained the Primordial Spirit Realm, it’s not something you can resist."
Chu Long’s voice came out.
"Commander, be careful."
Xiang Yun and the others said in unison and then quickly rushed to the distance. It wasn’t until several tens of miles later that they stopped and watched from afar.
"Lord Xueshen, it looks like you are the mastermind behind all this."
Chu Long stared at the blood-haired old man on the ancient demon’s shoulder and spoke in a cold voice filled with murderous intent.
"Hehe...those fools from the Yan Clan, thinking they can control the Ancient Blood Demon, they exhausted all their efforts to rescue this sealed Blood Demon, thinking they could control it and challenge the Shengxuan Sect, together resisting the Mansion of King Ming, naive, too naive."
The Lord Xueshen laughed heartily.
"People from the Spirit Sect should killed."
Chu Long didn’t bother with banter anymore, he took a step forward, like a beast setting off, the ground roared, his body upright and tall, his originally white hair turned jet black.
He held the spear with one hand, and the Heavenly Earth Power crazily gathered towards him. Then he thrust the spear forward and a huge spear light, like a sky-supporting pillar, suppressed the ancient demon.
The ancient demon roared, demonic Qi and blood light erupted, and a fist struck towards the spear light.
Boom!
A loud booming sound exploded, shaking the whole Xuanhuo City.
Immediately after, the enormous body of the ancient demon retreated back a thousand meters, while Chu Long’s figure remained still.
"Kill!"
Chu Long roared, his figure soared into the sky, he and the spear seemed to merge into one, transforming into an eternal spear light, piercing the sky, stabbing towards the brow of the ancient demon.
The ancient demon roared, flapped a pair of flesh wings, emanating a dense blood light, and slashed forward, like two blood-colored divine weapons.
Ding!
The ancient demon backed away again, but Chu Long’s attack was also blocked.
The ancient demon roared, opened its mouth and sucked in, hundreds of people in the city flew into its mouth and was devoured by it.
Chu Long’s face turned grim, his aura became increasingly imposing, a luminous light shone from his brow, a figure emerged from his body, grew rapidly, and became a hundred zhang high, with its feet on the ground and its head reaching the sky.
This figure was bronze-colored, with a solemn appearance, and there was a green dragon coiled around each of its left and right arms.
Boom!
The towering figure took a step in mid-air, its gigantic palm suppressing the ancient demon.
"Primordial Spirit Manifestation, Chu Long, among the many sons of Chu Tianming, you rank in the top three."
The Lord Xueshen’s face became serious, a dense blood light surged from his body, he pushed both palms forward, a surge of blood light transformed into a sea of blood, and charged towards the towering figure.
The ancient demon also roared, exerting its full strength to strike its strongest attack.
Boom!
The earth shook tremendously, infinite energy rolled overhead Xuanhuo City, the clouds in the sky were all disintegrated.
Lu Yan, watching from a distance, was awestruck.
What kind of mighty power was this?
Just like Immortal Gods, they were non-human.
At the time they were Hunting Immortals in Lingdong, Chu Long barely used his strength.
Now, it was his true strength.
