Hardly had he concluded his sentence when a withered tree behind Jin Xinyue turned into the shape of a human being after a slight shiver. The rigid branches turned into sharp limbs that stabbed at the center of Jin Xinyue's wings brutally!
It was a demon that looked like a dead tree, a beetle, and a human being. Layers of gray and brown armor seemed to be embedded all over his body. Other than the extraordinarily long arms, almost ten blade limbs grew out of his ribs and his back. His legs were bent backward in a reverse joint, allowing him to jump and jump at an astonishing speed.
His attack was as fast as lightning, but Jin Xinyue seemed to have grown eyes on the back of her head. Her golden wings slashed the joints of the demon's legs from the left and the right like two lightning-fast sabers.
"Yuan Hao, I knew you were hiding here!"
The demon named 'Yuan Hao' did not seem to have foreseen that Jin Xinyue's counterattack would be so fast. For a moment, he panicked and retreated in a hurry.
However, where Jin Xinyue was standing, a thorn suddenly burst out of the ground and pierced through her feet from the bottom to the top!
Jin Xinyue gasped in pain and fled to the depths of the forest. However, almost ten sharp thorns burst out of the ground and followed her like shadows, blocking her way of escape.
'Yuan Hao', who had just retreated, stomped on the tree and lunged at her again in hideous laughter with the counterforce.
After the collision, Jin Xinyue grunted and shook off countless feathers that looked like gold scales.
Like a wounded crane, Jin Xinyue stood on a branch with one of her feet and stared at the insect that was crawling out of the humus coldly. Her sweet smile was no longer there. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yuan Du!"
Jin Xinyue was definitely not as calm as she appeared to be.
Yuan Du and Yuan Hao were both princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom and the two most distinguished disciples of Elder Nether Spring. Both of them were in the demon king level.
She might be confident to deal with one of them, but she barely had any chance of winning against the two of them at the same time.
Besides, the Nether Spring Kingdom was the kingdom of the underground Insect Clan. The insectoids had a natural advantage in this kind of treacherous environment, while the Harpies like Jin Xinyue were able to soar through the sky and were skilled in speed. In the forest, he couldn't use his advantage.
"What did the Blade of Chaos steal from Elder Nether Spring exactly? Why did Elder Nether Spring send two of his most distinguished disciples to hunt them down and even use the precious Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes?"
The value of each Ghost Face Purple Mosquito. In every battle, hundreds of Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes would be killed. Even Elder Nether Spring, one of the twelve demon emperors, would not use the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes easily.
Jin Xinyue's eyes swept across the entire battlefield. In the dark jungle, most of the Golden Shadow Guardians she brought died tragically under the surprise attack of the Insect Clan, especially the Golden Shadow Guardians who were sucked dry of blood by the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes. Their skeletons were unbearable to look at.
Jin Xinyue secretly cursed. She glanced at the sky, which was blocked by dense canopies. She was certain that the canopies must be crawling with deadly venomous insects. She could even sense that deadly venom was dripping down from the canopies.
Yuan Du, Prince of Nether Spring, who crawled out of the humus, was not as ugly as the other insectoids. He looked like a tall and strong human being who was wearing an armor made of bionics. The beautiful and exquisite carapace was covered with beautiful patterns. Even in the dark of the night, it bloomed with a magnificent radiance.
Two horns that looked like halberds protruded from his face that was covered in the shell. He was majestic and handsome. His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were bright. He was definitely one of the most handsome men.
However, there was a faint evil aura rippling between his brows. His eyes were constantly moving, causing people who saw him to tremble. Anyone who saw him would feel that their heart was crawling with bugs.
"Yuan Du, Yuan Hao, you two brothers are too bold!"
Jin Xinyue shouted. "Are you not scared that the Gold Crow Kingdom and the Nether Spring Kingdom will end on bad terms and wage a total war on each other?"
Yuan Du and Yuan Hao looked at each other and smiled. They extended their hands to Jin Xinyue and said casually, "Give it to me."
His voice was low and dull, mixed with humming noises, as if a cluster of mosquitoes were stuck in his throat.
Jin Xinyue rolled her eyes and smiled. "Yuan Hao, as I recall, Elder Nether Spring has always asked you to retrieve the item, hasn't he? Why did you mention your big brother now? It seems that Elder Nether Spring does not trust you after all! But it does make sense. Everybody knows that it is your big brother who is in charge of the Nether Spring Kingdom, and you are just his follower! Even among Elder Nether Spring's subordinates, it is your big brother who is more favored by him. This time, it was your big brother who succeeded in retrieving the ultimate treasure. It seems that his position in the Nether Spring Kingdom and Elder Nether Spring is even more unshakable now, isn't it? "
Yuan Hao was dazed for a moment. His hideous smile immediately froze.
Yuan Du burst into fury. "Jin Xinyue, what are you talking about?"
Jin Xinyue's smile grew even brighter. "Very well. I was wrong today and fell into your ambush. It's not a big deal for me to give it to you, but I'm only giving it to you, Yuan Hao!"
Before the two princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom replied, Jin Xinyue waved her hands, and a streak of redness rushed toward Yuan Hao.
Yuan Hao's instinctive reaction was to catch it, but Yuan Du's face was gloomy, and he silently retreated.
Yuan Hao's reaction was slower. He halted his steps, but it was already too late. After a boom, a dark gold fireball exploded in midair. Countless flames in the shape of feathers spurted out and pierced through countless trees and the bodies of the demons like sharp blades, causing indiscriminate damage to the Blade of Chaos, the Nether Spring Demons, and the Gold Crows Demons!
This wasn't what they were looking for at all, but a bomb refined from a Yao Core!
"Nobody is going to get what I cannot get!"
Jin Xinyue dashed to the depths of the forest in laughter. Her body turned into a streak of brightness, and her gold wings were extended to the maximum. Like two sharp sabers, she chopped down all the trees nearby and smashed them down, blocking the way of the pursuers!
"Go after her!"
Brutality beamed out of the eyes of the two princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom. Yuan Hao blew a whistle that was made of the empty shell of a cicada. In the weird sound of the whistle, dozens of Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes were condensed. Their uneven surfaces wriggled and turned into dozens of ghost heads that were burning furiously, darting toward Jin Xinyue!
In the vast primitive forest, wings that were dozens of meters long were definitely a burden. The ancient trees deep inside the Hundred Desolation Mountain were often thousands of years old. They were more than ten meters in diameter and as hard as iron.
Although Jin Xinyue's wings were as sharp as sabers, the flames on them were much dimmer after they chopped down hundreds of trees in a row.
Jin Xinyue tried to soar into the sky many times, only to be suppressed by the ghost heads made of the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes. Besides, many of the insects of the Nether Spring Kingdom were adept at flying, too. Should she fly into the sky without any shelter, the odds of being discovered would be higher.
"Pu!"
After shattering the ghost heads made of the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes for the seventh time, Jin Xinyue finally could not hold on any longer. She vomited a mouthful of blood crazily, and the flames on her body dimmed significantly.
Yuan Du and Yuan Hao grinned hideously and launched fatal attacks. The tips of their mandibles were all covered in a layer of vague greenness. A stinky stink spread out from the wind raised by the mandibles!
However …
Yuan Hao's attacks had just reached the maximum when the mandibles before his eyes were about to pierce through Jin Xinyue's wings, when he jumped up and crouched weirdly as if he had been hit by an invisible lightning!
The few mandibles that he did not have the time to retract were detached from his body without a sign!
It was not until his blood flowed into a few thin threads in midair that Jin Xinyue and Yuan Du discovered that countless extremely thin threads were entangled on the few trees next to them.
The threads were almost transparent and dozens of times thinner than spider silk. However, they were extremely tenacious and looked like the sharpest blades.
Yuan Hao crashed into the threads without any warning. Naturally, several of his limbs were chopped off by his own speed!
Thankfully, his senses were keen enough for him to notice that something was wrong the moment he was about to crash into the threads. He quickly crouched. Otherwise, the threads might have completely separated his upper body from his lower body!
However, his movement only prolonged his life by half a second.
The moment Yuan Hao landed, a streak of redness suddenly burst out from where he landed and leaped to the top of the tree after passing by him.
Yuan Hao's hideous head soared to the sky. His face was still frozen in bewilderment, and he did not see what was going on until his death.
The insect-type demons had a lot of independent neurons all over their bodies. After losing their heads, their bodies did not collapse. Instead, they were cramping crazily, as if they were dancing a dance of death.
The redness inside Jin Xinyue's eyes gradually froze.
It was the rather suspicious villager that she had met in the Dry Leaf Village!
At this moment, the villager looked entirely different from a moment ago.
The bandages on his left eye and his left arm had all been burnt into ash, revealing a pair of eyes that were even more dazzling than red lotuses, deeper than rubies, and hotter than magma.
His previously withered left arm was filled to the brim, too. Streaks of blood were interweaving on his left arm into complicated runes that were changing nonstop as if they were alive.
From top to bottom of his left arm, there were a total of three dark golden rings. It seemed to be some kind of powerful restriction that firmly suppressed a strong force in his left arm. Not only could he use this force, but it would not cause him to lose control of the force.
What kind of demon is he exactly?
Jin Xinyue felt that her blood was freezing. She had not been so scared even when she was faced with the two princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom. However, the aura of the mysterious demon reminded her of her father, Jin Tuyi, one of the twelve demon emperors and the highest commander of the Coalition Army of Demons!
Who is he?
Slaying Yuan Hao, who was in the demon king stage, in one attack. Although it was an ambush with a trap, his capability should be at least in the high level of the demon king stage, if not the demon emperor stage!
He can't be on Elder Nether Spring's side. He can't be the remnants of the Blade of Chaos, either. There can't be such an expert in the Blade of Chaos!
Is he a mysterious expert from the Kingdom of Lion Butchers or the Sea Dominator Kingdom?
