Chapter 272: Chapter 272: The Tragic Death of the Demon Emperor (1)
The Golden Dragon viciously tore at Zhang Mingyang’s body.
Its sharp teeth chewed, and a rich cyan light spilled from its mouth, ascending towards the heavens.
The entire sky was dyed a pale cyan color.
This extraordinary scene was alarmingly like a declaration to all, announcing the demise of a Transcendent Cultivator, returning to the essence of the world.
Suddenly, the winds and clouds changed once more, transforming into a light drizzle that moistened the desolate land.
Chen Zhong reached out to touch the raindrops suffused with cyan light, and the old scars on his palm were quickly smoothed over.
The fall of Zhang Mingyang had clearly shocked him to his core, leaving him dazed for a long time.
By comparison, A’Qing was staring intently at the sky, where the fierce Golden Dragon raised its head and extended its claws, with a circle of thorns around its neck, which was utterly terrifying to behold.
His heart suddenly hung in suspense.
Although Grandmaster Shen was helping the Golden Body elder, that elder was clearly not of a gentle nature.
Even in a life-and-death struggle with the White Feathered Demon Emperor, witnessing people from Mysterious Light Cave betraying him, and facing two adversaries, he had not hesitated to strike a deadly blow.
The Golden Dragon that it released was extremely violent.
We just hope it doesn’t lose control and accidentally harm Grandmaster Shen.
Suddenly, A’Qing blinked, seeing the robust Golden Dragon slowly opening its mouth, spitting out a tattered Vestment robe, and then a long knife surrounded by black mist emerged from its mouth.
It carried the Mo Dao in its jaws and bowed its head to pass it to the young man.
What was previously a brutal tearing of Zhang Mingyang now seemed quiet and gentle.
Shen Yi reached out to take the long knife, sheathing it back at his waist.
He casually touched the thorn around the dragon’s neck, infused it with his energy, transforming the Precious Tool back into the shape of a bracelet, and then stored it in his Storage Treasure.
“…”
This action made Chen Zhong’s heart leap, and even his hair stood on end.
The Golden Dragon was returning the knife to show goodwill.
This was already the attitude of a very polite Transcendent Cultivator.
With clear distinctions between gratitude and grudges, they would not be haughty even when facing their juniors.
But for Elder Shen, casually taking an opponent’s spoils of war was a serious taboo among cultivators!
In the next moment, the Golden Dragon showed no signs of anger.
It turned and charged toward the pitiful-looking white crane.
As a famous Great Demon Emperor in Thousand Demon Cave, it had been consecutively ambushed by Zhang Mingyang twice, causing its condition to deteriorate.
Then, it was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Golden Body Dharma Identity.
Yet, it had endured the pressure of the Golden Body, managing to severely wound Zhang Mingyang, the Transcendent Spirit True Man.
After having half of its feathers torn off, it had struggled in battle against the Transcendent Spirit Golden Body for a long time.
Even now, it had not been utterly defeated!
One could only gasp at the terror of it.
The robust Golden Dragon suddenly attacked from behind the White Feathered Demon Emperor, coiling its entire body around its slender neck, and then tightened its grip!
The white crane, trying to strike with its wings, was pulled backward.
“Shriek!”
Enraged, it opened its long beak, stuck out its sharp tongue, and let out a shrill and piercing wail.
The Golden Body Dharma Identity keenly captured this vulnerability, leaped up swiftly, and twisted the bird’s beak violently apart with both palms!
The Golden Dragon instantly released the White Feathered Demon Emperor’s neck and dove into its throat!
Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!
The sharp dragon claws wildly tore inside.
The White Feathered Demon Emperor stumbled backward, shaking its head frantically as rich blood quickly stained its body.
In its eyes lingered a deep unwillingness.
As a Demon Emperor, it faced death through such crude methods.
Thump!
The Golden Body Dharma Identity released its beak, raised its fist, and brutally smashed the creature’s head.
Amidst the curtain of rain, the ten-zhang-tall demon body fell to the ground, causing a resonant thud, like the collapse of a mountain, splashing mud up into the sky.
The Demon Emperor’s form gradually shrank back to its previous ordinary appearance of a white crane.
Gone was the elegance from before; his death was hideously unpleasant to behold.
The Golden Dragon circled a few times in the sky, then once again coiled back onto the right arm of the Golden Body Dharma Identity.
Amidst the glaring golden figure, the plasma was washed away by the light rain.
The previous exchange with the Demon Emperor left fine cracks on the Golden Body, but it also made the crimson patterns on its back look even more menacing.
It glanced indifferently at the White Feathered Demon Emperor’s corpse on the ground.
Then, it turned back into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
“Ah…”
Until this moment, Chen Zhong and A’Qing still looked incredulous.
This senior figure appeared out of nowhere.
He effortlessly slew both a Transcendent Spirit and a Demon Emperor, and after finally taking them down, he didn’t even bother to take a second look at them.
He just left directly?
Not for the Cultivation Techniques or Precious Tools, not even for the Demon Emperor’s corpse.
Did he just come out to find someone to fight?!
What about all these treasures on the ground…
The two of them suddenly remembered something and quickly looked in the other direction.
Sure enough, Shen Yi, having casually taken off his cloak, was nurturing the through and through wound at his chest with a red glow, slowly walking towards this place.
Then, he stored the White Feathered Demon Emperor’s corpse into a Storage Treasure.
If A’Qing hadn’t been with Shen Yi from the beginning to the end, he might even suspect that the Transcendent Spirit Golden Body that just fought was an ally Shen Yi had called for help.
This… this was too considerate.
Chen Zhong also swallowed hard, with the Primordial Realm strength, the young man dared to get involved in the battle of the Divinity Transformation Realm, and in the end, he had scooped up all the treasures for himself.
What kind of fortune was protecting him.
Though it was said to be fortune… others didn’t have such courage, and even if they did, how many could muster the strength to deliver Zhang Mingyang right before the Golden Dragon?
As for Shen Yi knowing the Transcendent Spirit Golden Body, that was also not impossible.
But that was none of his business to speculate about; those who are too curious often don’t live long.
By the time Shen Yi walked back to the front, Chen Zhong was so apprehensive he barely dared to breathe heavily.
If the young man had impressed him before, now there was only awe and fear left.
“Go check out that bamboo forest,”
Shen Yi said quietly, holding his wound.
His expression was calm as if he had not just been fighting with a Transcendent Spirit True Man but just took a leisurely stroll.
“You…”
In a flurry of haste, A’Qing rummaged through the Storage Treasure and finally found a green Elixir.
He handed the Elixir to Shen Yi and obediently said, “I’ll go right now!”
Having originally taken the risk to explore this cave was to observe the profound Formations within, but now he was somewhat distracted.
“Senior, I will guard for you,”
Chen Zhong quickly added, not to mention, it was because of this young man that he and the junior of the Xu Family were unharmed.
The Xu Family still had uses for Shen Yi, while Chen Zhong himself was merely a burden.
But the young man had never shown any disdain for him.
Although puzzled by this kind of benevolence, Chen Zhong didn’t think there was anything about him that the young man would care about.
Such a great kindness and favor, ashamed of his low strength, he could only return the kindness by doing some menial tasks.
“Thank you for your trouble,”
Shen Yi nodded slightly, not consuming the Elixir, merely putting it casually into the Storage Treasure.
It wasn’t that he distrusted A’Qing, but with the protective aura of the Peacock’s red light, there was no need to take extra risks.
Logically, even a fatal wound that went straight through should not be so difficult to mend with the support of the Peacock’s red light fortified with Demon Blood.
But the wooden spear called forth by Zhang Mingyang contained some kind of sinister means, requiring the peacock to work with Lord Chan to digest it, which would probably take a few days.@@novelbin@@
However, it was also a good opportunity to take stock of his gains.
After all, to Shen Yi, this cave had now become the safest place.
