Frightened Black Wind (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
For their demonic faction, this was undoubtedly the greatest insult.
Black Wind’s anger surged uncontrollably.
In its wolf-like eyes, a terrifying look flashed.
Its entire body transformed in an instant, expanding to the size of a colossal black mountain.
No flashy moves, just brute force.
Black Wind immediately raised a claw and fiercely struck towards Jiang
Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Boom!
How terrifying was the enraged strike of a Level 5 demon emperor?
Crack-
In almost an instant, an ear-piercing sound came from the Mountain-protecting Array on Mountain-protecting Array.
Even the shield on it flickered violently.
There were faint signs of instability.
However, at this moment, a five-colored brilliance suddenly appeared in mid-air.
There was a whoosh.
This five-colored light ignored all defenses and instantly reached Black Wind.
In an instant, the formidable aura of Black Wind, including the power of its descending claw, was inexplicably weakened by thirty percent.
Black Wind also keenly felt a sudden weakness in its spirit, flesh, strength, and even the circulation of its demonic power.
It felt as if it had just fought an enemy of the same level for three days and nights.
It was exhausted beyond measure.
How come?
It was astonished.
Crack-
Just as it was astonished, a radiant sword light, tinged with five-colored lightning, rushed towards the descending wolf claw.
There was a loud bang.
The sword light collided with the wolf claw, creating a massive mushroom cloud in the sky.
The surrounding light continuously distorted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook.
The colossal body of Black Wind suddenly created several huge craters on the ground with each step, like missiles striking the earth, leaving dozens of meters wide craters and lifting up smoke hundreds of meters high.
In an instant, the sky became hazy.
“How is that possible?”
However, what shocked Black Wind the most at this moment was the strength displayed by the other party.
They actually blocked its attack and repelled it head-on.
It should be noted that it was a dignified Level 5 demon emperor, comparable to the existence of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
And these two?
They were only at the ninth level of the Golden Core.
How could they possibly resist it head-on?
At this moment, Black Wind couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
It seemed to have understood why Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had acted so arrogantly.
It seemed that they dared to challenge it directly because they had the strength
to do so.
However, the gap between Level 4 and Level 5 couldn’t be made up for by just external objects like Dharma treasures.
Clearly.
At this moment, it had recognized that the sword Shen Ruyan just slashed out was a Level 5 True Treasure.
BOOM!
The black wind grew larger as it blew, expanding to a size of three thousand zhang, nearly ten thousand meters.
That terrifying force surged towards Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Mount Ether behind them.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes narrowed.
Without saying a word, he instantly activated demon-slaying talent.
Then, he opened his hands.
Two pale but internally red flames appeared in his palms.
He rubbed these two flames together.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
In an instant, the terrifying high temperature burned the surrounding air, emitting a buzzing sound.
Some nearby plants, wood, earth, and stones even burst into flames.
At the same time.
A brutal, fierce, and terrifying fireball, accompanied by a roar, was thrown out by Jiang Chengxuan.
Roaring and spinning, it rushed directly into the massive black wind.
In an instant, the originally rapidly advancing black wind suddenly shook. Then it shook again, as if an electrical current was not flowing smoothly. On the surface of the black wind, occasional flashes of white light appeared. When it was about ten miles away from Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the massive black wind suddenly swelled.
Boom.
Like the explosion of countless nuclear bombs.
Red and white flames, mixed with bursts of black wind, rushed into the sky and produced a massive explosion.
The sky was completely filled with red, white, and black three-colored brilliance.
Everyone, whether cultivators or demonic beasts, at this moment, subconsciously withdrew their divine senses.
They dared not casually probe the terrifying power.
With their Golden Core divine sense, any inadvertent exploration could harm their Primordial Spirits.
Swoosh!
But at this moment, a golden sword light suddenly flashed through the center of the explosion.
Immediately following that, a deafening roar echoed in everyone’s ears.
When everything gradually quieted down, everyone was shocked to find that Black Wind, which was about a thousand feet in size just now, had now shrunk to about a hundred.
Moreover, its body had many additional wounds, oozing streams of fresh blood.
Most importantly, its enormous wolf claw was nowhere to be seen. The cut was smooth and glossy, as if it had been completely erased from existence.
What… What is going on?
What happened just now?
Everyone couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Especially the ten demon kings who had come with it, at this moment, each of their hearts was filled with shock.
No one knew better than them how powerful Black Wind was.
But even such a powerful Level 5 demon emperor had suffered such severe injuries.
This…
Before they could understand what was going on, the colossal body of Black Wind suddenly flashed.
The next moment, ignoring everything, its massive body turned into a black wind, rushing towards the distance as it tried to escape.
If someone could see its eyes at this moment, they would find that the eyes of Black Wind were filled with endless terror.
Yes.
Black Wind was in fear, in horror.
Because just now, it clearly felt that it was just a hair’s breadth away from… If it hadn’t been willing to sacrifice its claw at a critical moment, what was cut off just now might not have been its claws but its head.
For the demonic race, a powerful physical body was one of their greatest sources of strength.
Once the body was destroyed,
Not only would their strength drop by ninety-nine percent instantly, but their future would also be cut off.
Most importantly, in the current situation, if its physical body were destroyed, then dying would be its only fate.
After all, those two people were not ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
Both of them had already reached the Nascent Soul level in terms of combat strength.
Moreover, it was not the kind of Nascent Soul that had just advanced.
It was no match at all.
Run!
At this moment, Black Wind no longer cared about anything else.
Its mind now had only one thought, which was to escape from the sight of those two.
And it needed to leave the Cangnan Region as quickly as possible to inform the Golden Wolf about the news of those two.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the demon beast riot, when human Perfected Lords were mostly preoccupied and not paying attention, there was a very good chance to eliminate these two enormous threats.
Otherwise, once this demon beast riot ended, if they wanted to deal with these two, it would be very difficult to find a suitable opportunity.
After all, when facing enemies like demon beasts, the human Perfected Lords were relatively united.
It was unlikely and impossible for them to watch the demon beasts attack two Golden Cores with such great potential.
What’s more, what terrified Black Wind the most was that the current strength of the couple was only at the level of Golden Core. Yet, they already possessed such formidable power. Then, when they broke through to the Nascent Soul in the future, how terrifying would their strength become?
Perhaps these two could become the second Perfected Lord Xuan Yang.
Or even stronger.
And this was something that the demon beasts did not want to see no matter what..
