18. Snatching food from a dog's mouth
The battle between Lonely Lone and Mad Dragon Laughing lasted only half an incense stick's time before Teng Xielang concluded that the two were about to determine a victor.
It was precisely because Duguque had just lost an arm that his movements and techniques were greatly affected, and he was also suffering from a severe deficiency of qi and blood. In addition, he had previously killed a bunch of scoundrels, which had consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Lonely was well aware that he couldn't afford to waste time with Mad Dragon; he had to win in one fell swoop!
"drink!"
Lonely and lacking in willpower, he immediately seized the opportunity to push his power to its limit, and six wings of true qi, purple feathers, instantly unfolded behind him!
"Ha, you drunkard, you want to fight? I'm ready for it!"
Upon seeing this, Kuanglong's eyes flashed with a calculating glint. He unleashed his true energy, preparing an ultimate move. This was the third time in this battle that he had revealed a flaw in his swordsmanship. Whenever he unleashed a powerful move, his left arm would unconsciously rise, exposing a weakness under his armpit.
"You think you're Shiryu? The Rising Dragon Fist of Mount Lu?"
In the distance, Teng Xielang silently muttered a complaint, but secretly shook his head, realizing that Gu Du was unaware of the trap and was about to fall for it.
Sure enough, a cold glint flashed in Gu Duque's eyes as he locked onto Kuanglong's fleeting weakness, unleashing his full power to slash out with his blade!
Kuanglong suddenly changed his move, turning his body around and turning his opening into a trap, capturing and killing Gu Duque!
puff!
Kuanglong dodged Guduque's full-force strike perfectly, and then slashed Guduque's back with his own, causing blood to spurt out!
Bang!
Following Kuanglong's sudden attack, Kuanglong kicked Lonely Que away. Lonely Que felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his internal organs burning. With a loud cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments.
"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph, hahahahaha..."
Kuanglong's scheme succeeded, and he laughed wildly. He swaggered over, grabbed Lonely Que by the hair, and pulled him up.
"Drunkard, what else do you have to say?"
"...the last sentence."
Despite his loneliness, he remained defiant. Recalling the only good thing he had ever done in his life—taking Yu Zai as his disciple—he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Yu Zai, I'm going to disappoint you again. I'll fuck you, you old mum."
"Hahaha, hahahahaha!"
As Kuanglong laughed maniacally, he was about to take off Guduque's head with a single strike, but suddenly...
A phoenix cry that resounded through the heavens rang in his ears!
"Holy crap!"
He suddenly looked up and immediately started cursing, only to see a black flame phoenix formed from true energy attacking him fiercely!
Bei Chen Yuan Huang?! A name instantly flashed through Kuang Long's mind, but he immediately dismissed it, realizing that this person's skill was inferior to that of Pope Yi Liu!
But he's no ordinary person either! Damn it! Where did this bastard come from!
In the blink of an eye, the Black Flame Phoenix swooped down like a meteor with incredible speed. Mad Dragon could only let out a strange cry, urging his inner energy to unleash a slash!
boom!
The Black Flame Phoenix exploded instantly, and countless chaotic air currents blew the unprepared Mad Dragon away!
"who……?!"
Just as Mad Dragon was about to unleash his long sword, chained to the energy he had locked onto, he discovered that the Black Flame Phoenix was completely empty! He had clearly locked onto an energy source!
Kuanglong was taken aback, but then he saw a figure appear beside Guduque!
This is a cold and arrogant young man, who the hell cares about you!
"Ah! Die!"
The duck that was about to be eaten was about to fly away. Kuanglong didn't care who it was. With a strange cry, he swung his fierce blade!
But he was a step too slow. His opponent had already grabbed Lonely Fragment and thrust out his sword finger. The sharp and pure energy condensed on the sword finger was precisely aimed at the tip of the blade!
The two forces clashed, but their energy did not explode. Kuanglong discovered that this little beast had used an extremely clever technique to make his sword energy block his blade's edge, and then used the force of the blade's edge to suddenly fly backward. He then transformed into a beam of light and sped away, covering hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, as if Kuanglong had given him a helping hand!
"Ah! You wretched little beast! I'll remember you!"
The mad dragon had fought a fierce battle and was quite exhausted. Seeing that his opponent was running faster than a rabbit, he could no longer catch up. He could only stomp his feet on the spot, cursing and raging in impotence.
"Just remember this: if I ever use this alias in front of you again, I'll admit defeat."
Teng Xie listened to Kuang Long's powerful curses from afar, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. It was always so pleasant to mess with someone's mind and break their defenses.
Another world of demons.
The devil's palace.
When Yama Hanba saw Teng Xie Lang carrying back another one, he couldn't help but say, "Teng Xie, you've had quite a haul lately."
Teng Xie smiled slightly, "Indeed, the battle between Gu Du Que and Kuang Long Yi Sheng Xiao has broadened my horizons."
"Hmm, what do you think of Mad Dragon?"
"His martial arts skills are unfathomable, but his cunning is even deeper. The prophecy foretells a significant impact on the future of the Demon Realm; his future actions require further investigation."
"And what do you plan to do with this person? Use him to threaten Yu Renfeijing?"
"Demon Lord, I would rather defeat Yu Renfeijing and the White-Haired Swordsman by my own strength. For now, keep Gu Duque under house arrest. Once he is able to move, I can use him to test my moves and explore the Six-Winged Sword Technique."
What if Yama, the Drought Demon, also develops a method to target the Feathered People because of this?
Teng Xie said that the Feathered People didn't need the Demon Lord to target them. The slaying of the demon with swords and halberds was the right time, the right destiny, and the right fate. It was the Demon Lord's destiny to suffer this calamity. Moreover, the Feathered People's swordsmanship had long surpassed that of Dugu Que. Dugu Que's weakness was not the Feathered People's weakness.
As expected, before the rumors of the sword and halberd slaying the demon spread, the Demon Lord did not care much about the Feathered Man, and since Teng Xie had been performing very well recently, he was willing to give Teng Xie more opportunities. So he nodded and said, "Good idea. Then you can deal with this person and the Blade Plague."
"Thank you, Demon Lord."
Just as Teng Xie was about to leave, Ren Chenfu rushed over again.
"Demon Lord, an emergency has occurred at the Ghost Liang Military Command, details are as follows..."
"Hmm? Yu Renfeijing suddenly killed Gui Liangfeiyu at the wedding banquet?"
Such a bizarre situation left even Yama, the Drought Demon, bewildered. "Has someone resorted to underhanded tactics?"
Ren Chenfu shook his head and said, "No one knows the specifics. At this time, the Guiliang Military Bureau has already sent out pursuers, and the righteous people are also searching for the whereabouts of the Feathered People."
"Tengxie, what's your opinion?"
"Both Yiliu and the Pit of Sin have motives, but if things are exposed, or if they are framed by someone with ulterior motives, it will trigger a full-scale attack from the righteous path's combined Cauldron Peak. Given the current situation, Beichen Yuanhuang and Kuanglong Yishengxiao's profound understanding shouldn't lead to that."
"Um……"
Yama Hanba nodded, and Ren Chenfu suddenly said, "Could we take this opportunity to eliminate the Feathered People?"
Yanmo looked at Tengxie, who shook his head and said, "This is a good opportunity, but I prefer to see Guiliang pay for his crimes in blood, or consider the bigger picture. Either he becomes a thorn in the side of Mu Shaoai, Bo Hanbo, and the others, or Yuren becomes a thorn in his side."
"Well, then let's keep a close eye on their movements..."
Just as Teng Xie and Ren Chenfu were about to leave, everyone suddenly sensed something was wrong!
Rumble...
The entire Demon Palace, and even the entire Demon Realm, began to tremble slightly. An inexplicable oppressive atmosphere made people feel tense to the point of suffocation!
"This is bad! Ren Chenfu, summon the demon generals! Something's happened in the Vast Sea!"
Tengxie, with the strongest senses, was the first to perceive that a huge energy sphere from beyond the sky was hurtling towards the Demon Realm with unstoppable force!
He couldn't help but exclaim to himself, "Holy crap, the boss is dropping another nuclear bomb!"
