"Peng!"
Dust flew as Lin Muyu's body fell to the bottom of the hill, stirring up a few meters of soil and weeds. The aftermath of Nü Sha's attack only exploded after Lin Muyu landed on the ground. A wave of golden radiance surged in all directions, uprooting the nearby trees and sending gravel flying. It had the power to destroy heaven and earth. It was evident how domineering and forceful this attack was.
The aura in his body was chaotic and his blood vessels were surging. Lin Muyu finally couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood. He was in a sorry state.
He was defeated.
And he was defeated without any suspense. How could a mere 22nd Heaven Grotto-Heaven Realm rival Nü Sha's 91st Heaven Celestial Thearch cultivation? Moreover, even when Lin Muyu used her strongest killer move, the Seven Glorious Stars Transformation, it only caused Nü Shi to suffer a slight internal injury. Her combat strength did not weaken by much, and the powerful demonic power was still entrenched in the Forest of No Return.
Above the clouds, Nü Sha was still sitting proudly on the dark red cloud. She looked down at Lin Muyu and said from afar, "Although your cultivation foundation is still shallow, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. I advise you to leave the Forest of No Return immediately and stay away from Si Kongyao, Shang Qian, and the others. They will bring you misfortune. "
Lin Muyu stood up shakily and asked, "You won't kill us?"
Nü Sha smirked, "Killing you will only bring more hatred. Hurry up and leave. I don't want to see you guys before I change my mind."
However, at this moment, a stalwart man on the hill said angrily, "Nü Sha, they killed our Demon King brethren. Why should we let them go? Doesn't the Demon Monarch know about the saying of letting the tiger return to the mountain? "
"Li Xin, I said we should let them go. Why? Do you dare to object?" Nü Sha's eyes surged with killing intent.
The Demon King named Li Xin trembled and quickly took a few steps back. He said respectfully, "I don't dare …"
Nü Sha looked up at the sky and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid we have no choice but to let them go!"
"Why?"
"See for yourself!"
In the distance, the roar of a giant dragon came from the sky above the forest. Black shadows flew over from the light of dawn. They were dragon knights! It was a group of dragon riders with the Tianji Empire's emblem on their necks. It was the Tianji Dragon Riders!
"Our Dragon Knight is here!" Si Kongyao was overjoyed. She flew forward to help Lin Muyu up.
Dragon's Might spread out in the surroundings, and invisible auras surrounded and protected each other. Between every two Dragon Knights, there was a kind of power that kept them together. Twenty Dragon Knights descended from the sky, forming an impenetrable wall that protected Si Kongyao, Zhuang Shaoyu, and the others. The Dragon Knights were clad in exquisite armor, and their faces were filled with the desire to fight.
At the very front, a Dragon Rider riding a black dragon took off his helmet, revealing a determined middle-aged face. He smiled at Si Kongyao and said, "Yao, you really are here."
Si Kongyao was pleasantly surprised. "Uncle Lin Tongtian, you're here?"
"What else? I can't just let you do whatever you want, right? " Lin Tongtian had a doting look on his face. "Not long after you left Tianji City, Master asked me to come and protect you. Hmph, looks like I'm really late."
Lin Tongtian's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He suddenly turned to look at the people from the Demon Spirit Clan. He was even fearless when he met the gaze of the Demon Emperor Nüshi.
As one of the 11 Martial Sage Kings of the Tianji Empire, Lin Tongtian was one of the strongest people in the Tianji Dragon Riders. Furthermore, he had a special identity as one of the three disciples that Sikong Ming was most proud of. He was well-versed in the ice laws, and was highly regarded by the Tianji Empire and the Tianji Sect. Furthermore, he was a calm person, and was known as a famous general of the Tianji Empire.
…
"Oh, so you're a Dragon Knight." Nüshi smiled. "I knew it. The other human armies don't have such a grand display. Lin Tongtian, have you forgotten about the alliance that the Tianji Empire and the Demon Spirit Clan of the Forest of No Return made over a hundred years ago? Now that you've brought your army into the Forest of No Return, can I take it as a provocation? "
Lin Tongtian smiled and said respectfully, "So it's the Demon Emperor Nüshi, Your Majesty. I have no intention of overstepping my authority. It's just that these insensible youngsters have entered the Forest of No Return by mistake. I believe they must have had some conflict with the Demon Spirit Clan. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will forgive them and allow me to bring them out of the Forest of No Return."
Nüshi remained silent. She didn't want to blow things up. After all, it wasn't a wise decision to start a war with the entire Tianji Dragon Riders.
However, the Demon King Li Xin beside Nüshi was furious. He growled, "Lin Tongtian, do you think the Forest of No Return is a place where you can come and go as you please? Your juniors killed a Daemon King of my clan, and you want to leave just like that? "
"What do you want then?" Lin Tongtian sneered.
"What do you want? Let's leave one of them as our sacrifice! " The Demon King's gaze was aggressive. "Otherwise, we can only start a war. The Demon Spirit Clan is never afraid of war!"
Lin Tongtian remained silent.
Zhuang Shaoyu, who had already woken up, looked around and said, "If we really start a war, I'm afraid that a mere twenty Dragon Riders won't be a match for the entire Demon Spirit Clan. Do we really want to leave one of them as a sacrifice?"
As he spoke, Zhuang Shaoyu's gaze landed on Liu Buyi and Shi Tianming. These two were the most suitable candidates.
Liu Buyi felt goosebumps all over his body. He said, "Young Master Zhuang, I'm … I'm not useless. I … I can observe the stars, read people's words, and am knowledgeable. I … I'm a talent …"
Shi Tianming was speechless. He didn't know what Liu Buyi knew. It seemed like he had no choice but to leave him alive.
Who would have thought that Lin Tongtian would suddenly pull out a spear from the pouch on the side of the Dragon's neck. It was a weapon that was enshrouded in icy aura. It was the Ice Congealing Spear, a weapon that Sikong Ming had bestowed upon him. It was also a weapon that had accompanied Lin Tongtian for many years. Lin Tongtian's face was filled with arrogance. He smiled and said, "They are all from the Tianji Empire. If you want to use them as a sacrifice, you'll have to ask this spear of mine first!"
"How dare you!"
The Demon King Li Xin roared and began to transform into a demon. His arms were trembling on the ground, and his arms were surrounded by a white airflow. His skin cracked open inch by inch, revealing the scales that belonged to a demon. Three sharp horns protruded from his head, and his eyes instantly turned fiery red. With a ferocious smile, he said, "Just in time. I really want to see how powerful Lin Tongtian, the leader of the three dragon riders of the Tianji Empire, is!"
"Pfft!"
The air currents swirled around the hill. The Demon King had already turned into a sharp arrow and shot towards the sky. He opened his arms wide and his sharp claws were filled with divine power. Then, he attacked Lin Tongtian from mid-air!
"Just in time!"
Lin Tongtian laughed heartily. The Ice Congealing Spear in his hand spun and shot out. Wisps of icy Qi swirled around the spear and with an unstoppable force, it headed straight for the Demon King's sharp claws!
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Lin Tongtian repelled the Demon King's sharp claws with a single strike. His palm flew up and a frosty palm print landed on the Demon King's chest at lightning speed!
"Peng …"
With a single palm strike, it actually caused snow to fall in the sky. Large snowflakes fell from the sky above the hill, and it was a spectacular sight.
"Ugh …"
The Demon King spat out a mouthful of blood and fell onto the hill. He held onto his chest which was already covered with a layer of frost. Demon Thearch Nüshi's eyes turned cold and said, "Stop embarrassing yourself. Immediately circulate your energy to dispel the icy aura. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect your heart meridian."
"Yes, Your Majesty … I … I …"
"That's enough."
Nüshi lifted her head to look at Lin Tongtian and smiled. "Lord Dragon Rider General is really powerful. Looking at your stance, you want to kill my men in front of me, right?"
Lin Tongtian smiled respectfully and said, "How would I dare? It's just that your subordinates are too overbearing."
At this moment, a young Dragon Rider not far away from Lin Tongtian unsheathed his dragon sword and said, "Lord Dragon Rider General, what's there to talk about with these demons? Since we are already here, let's follow the laws of the empire. Slaying demons is the innate mission of the Tianji Dragon Riders. Even the Demon King was injured by you. We don't have to fear them at all!"
This young Dragon Rider was of the Sage Heaven realm. According to the classification of the Utmost Heavens Mainland, he was a low-level Martial Sage Martial Venerate warrior. He was basically the lowest level Dragon Rider. His cultivation was still shallow and therefore he couldn't feel the Demon Thearch Nüshi's powerful energy.
"Are you courting death?" Nüshi suddenly laughed.
"Demon, you still want to be so arrogant?"
The young Dragon Rider shouted in a low voice. His body was surrounded by King's Battle Flames and the giant dragon he was riding on roared continuously.
"You're courting death yourself."
Nüshi's expression was slightly ferocious as she closed her red lips. Suddenly, a formless energy gathered from all directions and struck the young Dragon Rider.
"Pfft …"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, blood flowed from his nostrils, eyes, and ears. In the blink of an eye, he fell off the dragon's back and died. He bled to death from his seven orifices!
"What … what happened?" The few Dragon Riders at the side were filled with grief and anger.
Lin Muyu, who was on the ground, was also shocked. At that moment, his Spiritual Pulse Technique had already captured Nüshi's energy. That was a formless and soundless spatial energy fluctuation. It was truly a killing technique. No one would have thought that Nüshi's cultivation would be so high! This attack could be said to have unleashed the destructive power of the spatial laws to the extreme. The high-frequency spatial fluctuation itself was a killing weapon!
"Nüshi! You … "Lin Tongtian gritted his teeth.
Nüshi was still hugging her musical instrument. With an apologetic look on her face, she smiled and said, "Lord Dragon Rider, it was your subordinate who was aggressive first. You can't blame me for this. Please don't blame me. After all, we only have a few hundred thousand demonic spirits in this small Forest of No Return. How can we go against the millions of soldiers of the Tianji Empire?"
A few hundred thousand!
Lin Tongtian was secretly shocked. During the war in the Forest of No Return a few hundred years ago, the number of demonic spirits had already been reduced to a few thousand. He did not expect that in just a few hundred years, their cultivation had increased to a few hundred thousand!
Nüshi's words were not to show weakness. Instead, she was retreating in order to advance. She was warning Lin Tongtian to think twice before acting.
If he really started a war, Lin Tongtian himself would not be able to escape.
"If that's the case …"
Lin Tongtian stabbed the Ice Freezing Spear into the pouch beside the dragon's neck and said, "Then we shall meet again!"
…
"Mm, we shall meet again."
Nüshi nodded and looked in the direction of Lin Muyu. She smiled and said, "Your Highness Yu, we shall meet again."
