Chapter 17: Kill One Person (Part 2)

  "Don't kill him, take him alive! He's my demon servant!"

  Miss Cai Xia saw Qi Lei being so powerful, and in just two confrontations, he had injured two of their main players. Instead of being shocked, she was delighted and even more determined to recruit Qi Lei as her demon servant. Seeing Lu Yichen ignite his true fire, she quickly reminded him and took a step forward. In her hand, there suddenly appeared a round bead that emitted white light when stimulated by spiritual energy. The light condensed but did not disperse, gathering more and more until it enveloped Lu Yichen and the others like a thin layer of fog.

  "Protective Bead?!"

  Zheng Yuanguang's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the pearl, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. His slow and sloppy movements suddenly became swift, and with one leap, he arrived at Cai Xia's side, simultaneously drawing out his magnificent sword "Qiangdangdang".

  "With the protective bead here, what's there to be afraid of? Operation Falcon has begun!"

  He burst out laughing, and before Da Hu Zi and Lu Yi Chen could react, the long sword suddenly swung out, a dazzling beam of light shot out, heading straight for Qi Lei.

  In the Xiu Zhen realm, although the fourth layer of Qi cultivation is not considered a major figure, its combat power is only equivalent to that of a top-notch martial artist in the Jianghu. However, if paired with a suitable magical artifact, the unleashed power should not be underestimated.

  Only to see this sword's edge, like a bursting dam of water, issuing a rumbling sound, like a flash of lightning accompanied by thunder, emitting a sharp and cruel aura, killing with a loud crash.

  Zi Lei injured two people in a row, his momentum greatly increased, and he also felt slightly relieved in his heart, secretly thinking that the newcomer was nothing special.

  After receiving the white-haired report, he appeared confident and not worried at all, but it was absolutely fake. The Eagle Claw Divine Technique is very powerful, no doubt about that, but how powerful exactly? Can it surpass the monk's Fa jue? These are all unknown numbers, making him anxious in his heart.

  But now it seems that he was too worried, relying on the power of "Eagle Claw Divine Skill", enough to deal with the few people in front of him.

  Just as he was indulging in his own self-satisfaction, he suddenly heard Cai Xia say that he was her demon servant, and he couldn't help but burst into great anger - he had once been the beloved pet of Shendao, if not for the strong soul imprint, it's possible that he would have really become a demon servant. Cai Xia's words were undoubtedly exposing his scars, and the harm they caused him was imaginable!

  "How annoying it is to be treated as a servant by you!"

  Although he knew that Yuanzhu was not simple, he also felt that Zheng Yuanguang's sword momentum was extraordinary, but he did not retreat and instead advanced strongly, his eagle eyes shooting out repeated cold glints, his wings flapping rapidly, with a speed like lightning, rushing towards the sword tip.

  "Don't think I'm an easy target just because I'm nice!"

  To his anger, Zheng Yuanguang was unaware, but instead, after seeing Qi Lei rush into the sword's edge, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout: "Haha, let you see my skills, one sword to kill the demon eagle!" His proud emotions were overflowing.

  However, before he could continue to gloat, Qi Lei's double claws suddenly flashed with a burst of light and enlarged several times, their power in no way inferior to the sword's, and they brutally collided.

  Rumble!!

  It was as if a thunderclap had sounded at the edge of the sky, and the intense white light made it impossible for people to open their eyes. The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees were all severed and turned into powder. With the explosion site as its core, a vast empty area suddenly appeared. Even Lu Yidun, Cai Xia, and others who were protected by the defensive light of the protective bead were knocked back repeatedly by the blast wave, not to mention several martial artists who had not entered the defensive circle, flying out like withered grass, landing on the ground with blood flowing from their mouths and noses, dead beyond death.

  The power was so great that the parties could not escape unscathed.

  Zi Lei had been thinking of trying out the Eagle Claw Divine Technique's power, so this strike could be said to have used up all his strength. Instantly, he was shocked until his whole body felt numb. His wings flapped wildly three to five times before he barely avoided being blown away. However, his double claws didn't feel even the slightest bit unusual; instead, they looked even brighter than before, just like sharp blades. The more he used them, the sharper they became.

  Zheng Yuanguang is far less capable than Qi Lei, and his fate is much more miserable.

  He wasn't hit by the shockwave, as he had a protective light in front of him, and even if he was hit, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, his sword's power contained the essence of the treasured sword itself, which was suddenly shattered by the thunderbolt. The treasured sword immediately felt the impact, making a "ka-ching" sound as several large cracks appeared on its surface. To think that the treasured sword was his life-bound artifact, and now he was like a frail young man, also wounded in spirit.

  "Pffft!"

  He spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled, almost falling over.

  Zi Lei's sharp eyes stared straight ahead, and even though the explosion had not yet completely ended, he had already seen the general situation clearly. He knew that this was the time to strike again, and with a fierce cry, he flapped his wings and charged forward once more, his claws extended as he slapped them down towards Lu Yidun, Cai Xia, and the others' shining figures.

  Bang!

  A burst of light flashed, and the protective bead also flickered on and off. Cai Xia's face was also pale one moment and white the next.

  "Miss, this demon is too powerful! If we still care about our lives, I'm afraid we'll lose them here!"

  Lu Yichen was still relatively calm, and with a bitter smile at Cai Xia, he unfolded his fan and slashed at Qi Lei with a knife-like move. At the same time, the big-bearded man let out a loud roar, and with a flick of his hand, the blue giant net pounced again.

  Zi Lei was right in front of them, dodging Lu Yichen's fan but failing to avoid the giant net and getting caught in it.

  "Alright, alright, got it, this time I've really got it! I'm going to tear it to pieces!"

  Zheng Yuanguang's face turned pale, his hatred for Qi Lei was like a vast river flowing endlessly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed and ran out of the protective bead's range, holding the sword with cracks all over it, ready to strike.

  The big beard was shocked and lost his color, he covered up the thunder, but no matter how he cast a spell, he couldn't tighten the green net. He knew that he had not completely subdued the demon eagle yet, and just as he was about to remind Zheng Yuanguang, a white light flashed in the green net.

  "Bang!"

  The large net could no longer withstand the struggles of the light group and suddenly shattered, shooting out in all directions piece by piece.

  "Not good, Zheng Daoyou be careful!"

  But it's too late!

  How could Zile give up such a good opportunity? His two claws suddenly rose and thrust straight into Zheng Yuanguang's chest!

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Zheng Yuanguang let out a miserable scream, but it was too late to dodge. He stared wide-eyed as a pair of iron claws pierced his chest and emerged with a still-beating heart.

  Fresh blood gushed out, instantly dyeing the earth red.

  A bloody aura spreads around!

  "Brother Zheng!!!! Hurry and save Brother Zheng!!!"

  Things happened too fast, Cai Xia was not able to react in time, Qi Lei's claws had already pierced into Zheng Yuanguang's chest, and by the time she shouted out for help, Qi Lei had already dug out a bloody heart and swallowed it into his belly.

  He hadn't planned on eating, but after smelling the strong smell of blood, his appetite suddenly increased, and he couldn't help himself, devouring it in just a few mouthfuls. If there weren't still enemies to deal with, he might have ended up lying down next to Zheng Yuan's corpse, eating his fill.

  However, this scene fell into the eyes of Lu Yichen and Cai Xia, who were undoubtedly shocked and frightened. As for the remaining more than a dozen guards and bodyguards, they were even more horrified. They were just some martial arts masters, ordinary people's existence, how could they have seen such a bloody scene? They couldn't help but be scared out of their wits, looked at each other, and ran away immediately.

  At this time, the well-trained monkey groups came into play.

  They emerged from the lush treetops, several at a time, desperately throwing stones down, truly achieving the feat of "ten thousand stones firing in unison". In just a few throws, more than a dozen martial arts masters were smashed to the point of bleeding and fell to the ground.

  The army was defeated like a mountain collapse. Even if Lu Yichen and Da Hu Zi still had the strength to fight another battle, seeing this situation, they couldn't help but produce the idea of retreating.

  "Go, and leave the green hills behind, no worries about firewood!"
