Chapter 1909: Chapter 1908: Slit Belly and Disembowelment
Ouyang Qiuhai looked at Sikong Yu, who had been swallowed by the Guardian Spirit, and was anxious. She had always taken Sikong Yu as a role model because, in the ancestral family, the preference for males over females was a common problem. Even if one was favored, in the greater scheme of things, the consensus remained that women were inferior to men.
However, Sikong Yu was like a banner. Despite being a daughter, she made her mark on the Fengyun List and even became a Flag Master in the Nine Layers Mountain Sect, which emphasized Martial Arts, surpassing all others, becoming a true symbol for women.
Ouyang Qiuhai, like her father, was a bit rebellious and unconventional. With her talents, she could have chosen the Heavenly Mechanism Gate or Xinglin, but she chose Nine Layers Mountain for Sikong Yu.
What Sikong Yu could do, Ouyang Qiuhai could also achieve, and indeed she did, becoming the Flag Master of Xuanwu Camp. Ouyang Qiuhai aimed to surpass her role model.
However, in this Vermilion Bird Holy Temple, Sikong Yu thrived, her combat strength increasing by at least thirty percent, yet Sikong Yu had exhausted almost all her trump cards along the way. With her own strength alone, she was certainly no match for the Demon Clan opponents, hence she had been staying at the back.
Now that Sikong Yu had been swallowed, Ouyang Qiuhai naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.
Seeing Ouyang Qiuhai rushing out, Lei Ba exchanged a glance with a few others. "Even though we can’t match them, we can’t just stand by and watch."
"Even if we die, we need to take a piece of their flesh with us."
The trusted aides quickly made a decision and immediately turned to join the battlefield.
"Hmph, you female worm, if you’ve got the guts, come over here to your grandpa." Lei Ba shouted angrily, and Helena, entangled by the Guardian Spirit Python, frowned upon hearing the ridicule.
Female worm?
"Hmph, since you want to die, I’ll oblige you."
Helena directly commanded the Guardian Spirit to attack Ouyang Qiuhai and Lei Ba’s group.
On the other side, Feng Feifei, who had been forcibly kissed by Li Feng, also got up, wiping her lips with her hand and spitting in disgust.
"Damn human."
"Cang Ming, move aside, I want to personally kill this damned scoundrel." Feng Feifei had never endured such humiliation; it was simply unbearable.
"He’s my prey now; you’d better help Xiang Heng and the others — they are in a pinch."
The number of Earth Cave Demon Apes was overwhelming, nearly endless, and Xiang Heng was currently entangled with a four-armed Earth Cave Demon Ape, resulting in a stalemate. The other demons, not known for strength, watched as the Demon Apes formed a large encirclement.
"I’ve already acquired the Vermilion Bird egg; it’s not safe to stay here much longer. We must carve a path out; otherwise, if the Demon Ape King arrives, none of us will escape."
The Demon Ape King was of Demon Ancestor level. Although it had been sealed for thousands of years and its power needed time to recover, it was not something they could defeat.
Moreover, this was the Earth Veins location in the Molten Lava Land. If the Demon Ape King absorbed the energy here, it would instantly recover to seventy or eighty percent of its strength, and if it consumed the Vermilion Bird, it would break through to become a top-tier Demon Ancestor, rivaling the four major Demon Emperors.
Time was of the essence; they needed to seize every second.
"Listen to Helena. Once I handle this human, I’ll come assist." Cang Ming’s voice drifted over again.
Meanwhile.
Li Feng, in unknown rounds of combat with Cang Ming, glanced at the Guardian Spirit. The Guardian Spirit was displaying immense power, and Ouyang Qiuhai and the others could not hold it back. If this continued, they would almost face annihilation.
Li Feng momentarily spaced out, causing his evasive movements to slow, allowing Cang Ming to catch him.
Daring to space out while fighting me.
You’re courting death.
Tear Claw.
Cang Ming delivered a claw strike, the blade-like wind pressure at his fingertips leaving a deep, bone-exposing claw mark on Li Feng’s front.
Li Feng was sent flying backward like a cannonball, while Cang Ming smirked cruelly, instinctively licking the blood on his claw.
Seeing Li Feng being struck and flying out like a cannonball, Ouyang Qiuhai and the others were stricken, all turning pale with despair — was this a total defeat?
These Demons were overwhelmingly powerful.
Reflecting on the previous encounters with those two demons, it seemed every demon they met was exceptionally strong; few but individually formidable.
And Emperor Yue, taking on Bi Fang himself without falling behind, was simply monstrous.
On their side, their strongest, Li Feng, was severely injured, and Sikong Yu had been swallowed — how could they fight on?
However, as despair began to set in, Li Feng suddenly flipped around, pulling out the Blood God Claw from his Storage Ring and fitting it onto his arm. A bone-chilling cold emanated from the Blood God Claw. Previously, to remove the Blood God Claw, Li Feng had to rely on his Undying Body.
Since then, he dared not wear it on his arm, using it as a weapon instead, but this approach couldn’t unleash the Blood God Claw’s full power.
At this moment, considering little else, Li Feng couldn’t easily take down Cang Ming, and the Guardian Spirit summoned by the opponent was about to decimate his companions — he had to act.
Li Feng intentionally left an opening for Cang Ming, withstanding the opponent’s claw while using the force to distance himself and soar towards the Guardian Spirit.
As the Guardian Spirit Python drew nearer, Li Feng swung the Blood God Claw, piercing through the python’s scale armor from behind.
The Guardian Spirit let out a piercing wail, but Li Feng did not relent, tearing open the python’s back and diving inside, disemboweling it from within.
The Guardian Spirit was caught off guard, thoroughly outwitted by Li Feng, who dismantled its insides.
Li Feng found Sikong Yu within, pulling her out through the python’s belly. Blood rained down as Li Feng safely landed with Sikong Yu.
Sikong Yu looked a bit disheveled, covered in the python’s mucus, coughing a few times, and taking several deep breaths.
"Sister Yu, are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
Sikong Yu glanced at Li Feng and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Just a minor injury."
Li Feng looked at his unhealed wound, noticing the trace of wind elements disrupting its healing. Cang Ming’s Tear Claw was indeed formidable.
The Guardian Spirit Python, now disemboweled, let out one final scream and collapsed. Helena’s face darkened, for though the Guardian Spirit Python was not her true self, it was a powerful clone — now slain.
That was her last trump card.
Cang Ming didn’t expect Li Feng to mount such a desperate counterattack, appearing like the wind atop the fallen Guardian Spirit, glaring at Li Feng and the others in the distance.
"You’re really full of surprises. At a moment like this, you’re still thinking of rescuing others."
"It seems they mean a lot to you, but I wonder if, when they die one by one before you, you’d feel any pain."
Cang Ming, with a chilling smile, licked the blood left by Li Feng, glancing sidelong as he hovered over Li Feng, tauntingly.
