Chapter 250 - 225: Hong Ying’s Unease! A New Vice Director of the Profound Bird Guard? (Part 2)
The earth all around was riddled with thousands of holes, with a series of shocking chasms crisscrossing as if torn apart by terrifying forces.
The closer one got to Green Wind Valley, the more remnants of powerful forces were felt, like surging waves spreading in all directions.
Where these terrifying shockwaves reached, towering trees were uprooted, and massive rocks were shattered into dust, scattering all around.
Even the once towering peaks surrounding Green Wind Valley were as fragile as paper under the impact of countless violent forces.
Countless boulders cracked and tumbled from the mountains, emitting deafening roars.
Huge cracks rapidly spread across the supposedly indestructible mountain surfaces, like marks of a heavenly curse.
Each peak collapsed in an instant, shattering into countless stones, blown away by the wild winds.
Numerous fragments, carrying immense impact, shot out in all directions.
This apocalyptic and terrifying scene played out continuously within a radius of dozens of miles from Green Wind Valley.
So, faced with this godly battle that wreaked havoc on mortals,
whether passing martial artists or fleeing animals, all quickly fled the area.
Afraid that in the next moment, they would fall victim to one of the powerful shockwaves.
At the center of Green Wind Valley.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with dust, almost suffocating.
Outside the valley, the massive body of the Snake Demon King was covered with innumerable wounds, varying in depth.
The previously smooth scales were now in disarray, some wounds gaping with flesh turned outward, blood gushing forth, emitting a sizzling white smoke.
An invisible force seemed to be constantly scorching the Snake Demon King’s wounds.
Dark green blood flowed from the wounds of the Snake Demon King, trickling through the gaps in its scales, forming a pool of eerie green blood beneath.
Upon closer inspection, this eerie green blood seemed to possess a strange corrosive property, continuously eroding the hardened ground.
Some wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, the stark white bones appearing particularly terrifying against the backdrop of the green blood.
The massive head of the Snake Demon King bore golden vertical pupils, burning with flames of rage and unwillingness.
In front of the Snake Demon King, Director Mu Yun stood silently in mid-air, holding a sword that shimmered with a brilliant luster.
The winds howled, and sand and stones flew, yet Mu Yun, dressed in red robes, appeared untouched by the chaos.
Indifferent to the chaotic scene reminiscent of an apocalypse, Director Mu Yun’s expression remained composed and calm, showing no signs of turmoil.
"These damned things again!"
The Snake Demon King suddenly raised its massive head, its blood-stained mouth opening and closing, speaking in fluent human tongue.
Its golden pupils were filled with venom and hatred, like two burning ghostly green flames, fixed intensely on the sword in Mu Yun’s hand.
The gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear Mu Yun apart, causing even the surrounding air to cool amid the Snake Demon King’s murderous stare.
Those damned things, of course, referred to the sacrificial artifacts of human martial artists.
As a beast perfected in the Demon King Realm, the Snake Demon King was on the verge of the Celestial Demon Realm, also known to human martial artists as the Divine Mansion Realm.
Although Mu Yun was a martial artist in the demi-Divine Mansion Realm, as a beast, the Snake Demon King was in no way inferior to Mu Yun.
Beasts were stronger than human martial artists due to their immensely powerful physical bodies.
At the same realm level, human martial artists could never match beasts.
However, these human martial artists found these damned weapons from somewhere unknown.
These weapons contained extremely terrifying powers of heaven and earth.
Even a beast as immensely powerful as the Snake Demon King could only retreat and struggle against the fearsome power of the sacrificial artifact.
Hidden deep within the seemingly fierce eyes of the Snake Demon King was a hint of fear.
Its body instinctively trembled, for the Snake Demon King’s keen senses.
It was clearly aware that if this stalemate continued, it might very well die at the hands of this human.
However, before the Snake Demon King could catch its breath for long,
brilliant flashes suddenly lit up the distant sky, with several streaks of sword light spanning the heavens, rushing forward with sharp momentum.
Upon witnessing this, the Snake Demon King wasn’t about to show weakness, its golden pupils flaring with dazzling light.
Its massive mouth suddenly opened, and several gusts of chilling green demonic energies appeared, sweeping toward the sword lights.
Within Green Wind Valley, the intense entanglement was no less fierce than the battle between the Snake Demon King and Mu Yun outside.
Li Chengxing wielded the Moon-level Eight-Patterned Sacrificial Artifact Profound Bird Celestial Seal, clashing with the Moon-level Seven-Stripe Moon Purifying Lotus in Hong Ying’s hands.
As Li Chengxing had to protect the members of the Profound Bird Guard behind him, a deadlock formed between him and Hong Ying.
The heretics of the Pure World White Lotus Sect faced the combined power of these terrifying artifacts, reduced to dust among the heavens and earth.
Leaving only Hong Ying and the white-robed elder to tightly engage Li Chengxing.
Seeing the current stalemate scene, Hong Ying’s wrinkled old face wore an extremely pleased smile.
The folds on Hong Ying’s face piled even deeper from the smile.
"Kekekeke!"
"Li Chengxing, it seems we’ve won this time."
The white-robed elder beside Hong Ying also burst into joyful laughter.
Years ago, he had been blinded in one eye by this old brute Li Chengxing, and now, he finally saw Li Chengxing suffering.
Nothing brought more pleasure than seeing an enemy flounder.
However, in the face of Hong Ying and the white-robed elder’s wanton mockery,
Li Chengxing showed no sign of panic or embarrassment on his face.
Instead, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, a sinister smile seemingly surfacing from the depths of a dark abyss, blooming on his face.
This smile of Li Chengxing seemed to conceal a chilling profundity.
The bizarre expression of Li Chengxing made the laughter of Hong Ying and the white-robed elder pause for a moment, abruptly coming to a halt.
Hong Ying and his companion suddenly felt a jolt of unease, an inexplicable dread bubbling up from within.
This loaded smile of Li Chengxing was anything but a good omen for them.
In their eyes, Li Chengxing’s smile was like a Death Sentence, causing their burgeoning sense of unease to grow wildly.
Hong Ying suddenly felt a chill in his heart, sensing that Li Chengxing’s aura was climbing sharply, like a surging tidal wave, rising higher and higher.
"Li Chengxing!"
"Stop pretending here! I, the great old master who has roamed the world for over two hundred years, won’t let you, old rogue, outwit me!"
Immediately, Hong Ying’s eyes widened, bloodshot and furious, roaring at the top of his lungs.
Trying to bolster his own defense, Hong Ying tightly gripped the Seven-Stripe Moon Purifying Lotus in his hand, to prevent Li Chengxing from ambushing him.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chengxing no longer restrained himself, his smile spreading freely, carrying a suffocating oppressiveness,
As if at this moment, their roles had reversed, they were now the ones Li Chengxing intended to hold off.
"Hong Ying, your life ends here, you old brute."
"Coincidentally, our Profound Bird Guard has a new deputy director, and he’s quite keen on your Pure World White Lotus Sect."
"He’s on his way here now, so you two heretics will have to wait a moment!"
After making his jest, Li Chengxing tightened his grip, clutching the Profound Bird Celestial Seal firmly in his hand.
"Profound Bird Celestial Seal!"
As Li Chengxing’s shout rang out!
In an instant, a blinding black luminous beam, almost surreal, burst forth like a black blade tearing through the sky, piercing through layers of smoke, reaching the heavens!
