Asura Mad Emperor

"Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

"Young Master Qin's life-saving grace, we shall never forget for all eternity!"

The crowd knelt down one after another, overwhelmed with gratitude.

At that moment,

whether it was the people from the Taiyuan lineage or those accompanying the Third Prince from Tianyuan, they all felt an indescribable gratitude towards Qinchuan.

"What a good man! truly a great and kind soul!"

"Sacrificing himself for righteousness, he alone, riding the Divine Beast, went to confront that terrifying existence deep within the Heavenly Demon Forest, to strive for a sliver of survival for us all."

"How did I never notice before that this lad was actually so pleasing to the eye?"

Watching Qinchuan riding the Red Luan, with gloomy solitude and tragic bravery, like a hero on a one-way journey, this thought involuntarily flashed through everyone's minds.

Yet at this very moment, a cunning smile involuntarily appeared on Qinchuan's face.

"These fools, so easy to fool! It's simply effortless."

"Busy all day long, they've been working for me!" Qinchuan murmured to himself, while thinking: "I've collected so many Demon Cores, surely the first place is now within easy reach!"

At this time, Qinchuan's figure undoubtedly rose in stature before the Imperial Families of Taiyuan and Tianyuan, confronting the terrifyingly powerful demonic beasts of the Heavenly Demon Forest alone with his Meridian Opening physique.

Where in this world could one find such a magnificent Martial Artist?

Even many lamented, "Although Qinchuan has a Divine Beast bird at his disposal, this is, after all, within the Heavenly Demon Forest, the opponent's territory. It's unknown whether he will be able to delay for such a long time."

If the crowd knew the truth of the matter, these thoughts would probably not occur to them, and they might even wish they could tear Qinchuan into pieces.

As it turns out,

that rolling Demonic Qi in the distance was indeed emitted by the terrifying existence at the deepest part of the Heavenly Demon Forest, and it was true it was heading straight for everyone here.

But in reality, it wasn't targeting the Martial Artists of Tianyuan and Taiyuan.

It was targeting Qinchuan.

To be precise, it was targeting the Red Luan perched on Qinchuan's shoulder.

When Qinchuan had entered the Heavenly Demon Forest, he had instructed the Red Luan not to act recklessly, but when faced with Fu Xi, who summoned a Supreme Saint Expert's Divine Sense, he let the Red Luan devour it.

At that time, although the Red Luan's aura was displayed only briefly, it had undoubtedly attracted the attention of those terrifying existences in the Heavenly Demon Forest.

The Heavenly Demon Forest stretched endlessly, with its southern and northern extents unknowable, and spanning the entirety of the Northern Continent of the Dongju Continent from east to west – but within this forest of indeterminable size, it was completely inhabited by demonic beasts, without a trace of other races or the Beast Clan.

Here, brazenly lay the territory of demonic beasts.

The Red Luan's body contained the bloodline of Ancient Fierce Beasts. In Ancient Times, although the Fierce Beast and Demonic Beast both belonged to the Beast Clan, the two were incompatible.

And now, in this paradise of demonic beasts, an unwanted Fierce Beast had barged in, moreover a Divine Level Fierce Beast, which naturally made those demonic beasts wary and compelled them to investigate.

Therefore, the people from both Taiyuan and Tianyuan were utterly taking the blame for Qinchuan; even if they did not surrender their Demon Cores, the Divine Beast Level demonic beasts would not bother to strike at them.

But at that moment, upon hearing that terrifying demonic roar, they had already been frightened out of their wits, trembling with fear, thinking they were doomed, hearing Qinchuan could save their lives, they grasped at him like a drowning person seizing a lifeline.

Willingly, they handed over their Demon Cores.

Qinchuan's actions, not only amounted to looting a burning house but also making something out of nothing.

Qinchuan was riding the Red Luan, flying towards the due north.

The speed of the Red Luan was as fast as lightning, the wind whistling past his ears, causing his clothes to flap loudly.

Although the sky had already turned completely dark, with not a single star in the night sky, Qinchuan's Innate Pupils were active, clearly outlining the Heavenly Demon Forest below his feet.

The endless stretch of towering trees reached into the clouds, lush and verdant. The Heavenly Demon Forest truly exuded an immense Demonic Qi, and even though Qinchuan was high in the sky, he could still feel the rolling Demonic Qi rising from the ground.

Through the dense and dark Demonic Qi, Qinchuan finally saw at the end of the horizon, at the boundary between the forest and the sky, a massive demon shadow emerged. Qinchuan's Innate Pupils swiftly turned, and he saw clearly that it was a giant tiger shadow.

The tiger shadow stood tall like a colossal mountain, and even from tens of thousands of miles away, Qinchuan could feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from it. In its presence, he felt like an ant looking up at a towering mountain, gasping for breath.

"Roar——"

"Whine——"

Martial Artists and Fierce Beasts were natural enemies, and that enmity was etched into their blood.

Now sensing each other's Qi, the Red Luan and the demon beast both let out long cries, their voices filled with passion and fervor.

It was the excitement seeping from their bones before the battle.

The speed of both parties was extremely fast, and in an instant, they were just an arm's length away from each other.

At that moment, both parties released their auras, their Divine Skills unfolding, and the dazzling divine radiance lit up the entire night sky.

Even the people from Tianyuan and Taiyuan, who were running for their lives in the distance, were illuminated by the radiant divine light from behind, and the explosive sounds of Divine Skills echoed incessantly, deafening to the ears.

Those who witnessed it once again marveled at Qinchuan, "What a good person! A truly righteous person willing to risk his life! It is rare indeed in the Cultivation World to find such a person in this age!"

The Red Luan's body was engulfed in roaring flames, the purple fire bright and transparent, as if it could burn away all the evil in the world. Her wings unfolded, and her fiery red tail feathers spread out, dazzling and splendid. Countless crimson beams like raindrops poured out, rushing towards the mountain-like tiger body.

The demon tiger, in turn, stood unafraid as the Demonic Qi around it surged, its body emitting a green light. Then, it suddenly grew in size, its body looking like a hillock without any hint of clumsiness; on the contrary, it was agile and swift.

It moved like a demon that had just crawled out of the Jiuyou Demon Realm, ghostly in its motions.

The demon tiger dodged the last crimson blades, a sharp light flashing in its green eyes.

Then, suddenly, it stopped its entire body, its legs forcefully pushed, and the massive tiger body soared into the sky, lunging towards the Red Luan in mid-air.

The Red Luan reacted just as swiftly, her body shooting upwards, and at the same time, her claws extended like iron hooks, swinging left and right, slashing across the tiger's forelimbs.

"Zzzlaaa," the tiger was struck by the Red Luan's claws, in pain, it plummeted downward.

And just then, Qinchuan, who had been silent all the while, suddenly roared.

"Beast! Kneel down!"

The demon tiger, ready to get up and attack again, suddenly heard this voice, its expression changed dramatically, showing an incredulous look on its tiger face, and also deep fear and dread.

Its entire body trembled, lying prostrate on the ground, not daring to act recklessly anymore.

"This big fellow is afraid of you; why didn't you speak up sooner? You made me fight for nothing!"

The Red Luan was startled, then complained with some frustration.

"You two started fighting as soon as you met; there was no chance for me to say anything."

Qinchuan said innocently.
