"It's a cloud eagle …!" Zhangsun Lan's expression changed drastically.
"Let's go!" Lu Sheng abruptly sprinted forward. Using the short cliff in front of the cave entrance, he dashed forward. His foot stepped on the edge of the cliff, and his whole body soared into the air, pouncing towards the cloud eagle.
Lu Sheng's entire body spread out as he pounced toward the cloud eagle. His eyes, which were facing away from the two, slowly glowed a dark red.
Clang!
The Wei River Sword was suddenly unsheathed.
Countless waves of silver-blue light appeared behind Lu Sheng, as blue as the ocean.
In that instant, he seemed to have turned into a full moon on the sea, landing heavily on the cloud eagle's back.
The cloud eagle, which had been about to go crazy, suddenly showed a hint of fear in its eyes, but it still obediently let Lu Sheng land on its back.
The full moon disappeared, and the cloud eagle sank heavily, but it didn't dare to resist. Lu Sheng finally stood up and patted the Wei River Sword hard, smiling. "As expected of my Life Divine Weapon. Even a cloud eagle can easily suppress it."
Sun Rongji and Zhangsun Lan also came to their senses and quickly jumped down. After aiming in the right direction, the cloud eagle took care of them a little, and they barely landed on its back.
"So powerful! Even an Earth Prime cloud eagle can be easily suppressed. So powerful!! "Sun Rongji stood up and praised with wide eyes.
"Strange, I wasn't the one who attacked just now …" The Wei River Sword was about to speak.
Crack.
A crisp sound came from the hilt in Lu Sheng's hand, and the Wei River Sword's voice stopped.
Lu Sheng smiled. "It's alright. I've trained hard for many years to become one with the sword. At this level, it's not that bad."
"If you have such a powerful Divine Weapon, Brother Lu, why didn't you use it before?" Sun Rongji asked with a hint of envy in his surprise.
"To tell you the truth, I don't use my sword most of the time because I don't want to hurt people. It's because my sword is too powerful. If I'm not careful, even an Earth Prime cultivator can't escape injury, much less a Bind level. "
Wei River Sword: "…"
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so patient when he made his move …" Sun Rongji shook his head with a bitter smile. "To think I was so arrogant and thought Moling Prefecture was number one in the world."
"Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, I also have a secret treasure for you. If you encounter any danger, try to stay close to me," Zhangsun Lan suddenly whispered to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was also stunned. He did not expect that Venerable Yuan Zheng would even consider his share. A trace of warmth rose in his heart.
"Alright, be careful. Pay attention to your surroundings. If I'm not wrong, the Starry Sky Aristocrat is nearby. It should be easy to recognize him. We should be able to distinguish him easily from the sky. When the time comes, make sure to make your move. "
"Yes."
"Understood."
The three of them crouched on the back of the cloud eagle and carefully looked at the ground through its steel-like feathers.
On the grayish-black plains, oddly-shaped trees that were spewing smoke could be seen everywhere. Between the trees, there were winding roads that looked like white lines on a black cloth, extremely clear.
Lu Sheng looked forward along the road. Soon, he saw a group of men and horses carrying blood-colored triangular flags not far ahead.
There were only seven or eight people in this team, but they were all wearing crimson black armor and dragging thick lizard tails behind their butts.
The leader was tall, with his right arm hanging by his side like a beast's claw. It was huge and even thicker than his waist.
"I heard that the Starry Sky Aristocrats of the Demon Realm all have unique triangular flags. So our target should be that group?" Sun Rongji also saw the group on the ground.
"They're all demons. Let's kill them first," Lu Sheng said calmly and pressed his hand on the cloud eagle.
But the cloud eagle refused to fly low no matter what. Instead, it whimpered and begged.
"It doesn't dare to offend the Starry Sky Aristocrats. Here, the Starry Sky Aristocrats under the command of the Demon Emperor should have a high status." Sun Rongji shook his head.
"Then forget it. We'll go down ourselves." Lu Sheng did not make things difficult for it. He had the cloud eagle lower its altitude and put the three of them down on a flat ground.
The three of them jumped down lightly and landed next to a smoking tree, half-squatting on the ground.
"Go," Lu Sheng said to the cloud eagle above him. He no longer used his spirit to suppress it.
The cloud eagle let out a clear cry of gratitude, hurriedly turned around, flapped its wings, and flew into the distance.
"We should think about how to go back later," Sun Rongji said helplessly. "That cave is very high up."
"Climb the mountain," Lu Sheng said casually. "Let's go." He led the way in the direction of the Starry Sky Aristocrats.
The two behind him had no choice but to follow.
Passing through the dense forest of black trees, the three of them soon stood on the white road, facing the Demon Army.
The leader of the Demon Army looked over and raised his hand, signaling the team to stop.
"Do it." Lu Sheng suddenly charged forward. In just a few steps, he had crossed dozens of meters and slashed at the Demon with the Wei River Sword.
"Ha!"
The Demon roared. A black steel claw popped out of its left arm and clawed at Lu Sheng.
At this time, the other two also rushed over and began to fight with the other devils in the surroundings.
These Demons were all more than two meters tall. They looked clumsy, but they were actually very agile. They spread out and surrounded Lu Sheng and the other two in the center.
"Go!" Zhangsun Lan waved her hand, and more than ten balls of white flame shot out, landing on the ground and turning into short, snow-white crocodiles.
The crocodiles were more than two meters long and swung their huge tails at the other Demons.
Sun Rongji pulled out his Sky Piercer out of nowhere and was fighting a Demon with an extraordinary aura. The two of them were locked in a fierce battle. Sun Rongji was faster, and his moves were more coherent. The Demon's armor was so thick that it didn't matter if he got hit once or twice. Although he wasn't as strong as Sun Rongji, he was still able to stall him.
Zhangsun Lan stood where she was, controlling more than ten crocodiles to keep the other Demons busy.
"Hurry, my Smoke Crocodiles can only last thirty breaths!" she yelled urgently at Lu Sheng and the other two. The other Demons were all agile and had thick skin. Every now and then, they would attack with thick waves of Demon Qi that would corrode the Smoke Crocodiles' armor.
Zhangsun Lan didn't expect these Demons to all be at Four-Vein Bind. Most Demon Armies did have Single-Vein Bind, which was the general range of power for most Demon armies.
But Four-Vein Bind was a bit exaggerated. Demons weren't like humans. According to Zhangsun Lan's knowledge, the difference in power between different Demon races was extremely stable. The power of different races was also determined from the beginning. It was very difficult to cross this threshold with other methods.
Three-vein races would reach Three-Vein when they reached adulthood, and five-vein races would reach Five-Vein when they reached adulthood. Only a few could break through the limit and reach higher realms.
Devils who broke through like that were all respectfully called Devil Generals. Demon Generals were considered Starry Sky Nobles, and all descendants of Demon Generals could inherit the position of Starry Sky Nobles.
Compared to the first generation of Demon Generals, there were actually more successors.
In this group, the other Demons were at least Four-Vein Bind. Since the one in the lead was a Starry Sky Noble, it was very likely that he was a first generation Demon General. Someone who had broken through to the next level.
At this thought, Zhangsun Lan suddenly yelled in Lu Sheng's direction, "Watch out!"
Lu Sheng wielded his sword and fought with the Demon at lightning speed. The two of them were already more than a hundred meters away from where they started.
What Lu Sheng didn't expect was that this Demon was also at the peak of Seven-Vein Bind in terms of speed and strength. Sometimes, he relied on superior techniques to cut the armor on his opponent's body, but it only left a light wound.
After all, he was also at the peak of Seven-Vein Bind in terms of speed and strength. And it was even controlled by a Divine Lord-level consciousness.
This meant that a human Seven-Vein Bind was not a match for a Demon.
"You … dare to come and assassinate me? You really don't know what's good for you!" The Demon laughed coldly. He even knew the Great Yin's official language.
His claws stirred up gusts of black wind, and within the black wind, there was a large amount of poisonous sand. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Sheng's own body was extremely strong, this poisonous sand alone would be enough to kill an ordinary human.
Even so, the black membrane in front of Lu Sheng rippled continuously. It was on the verge of breaking under the attacks of the poisonous sand.
"Using the power of Seven-Vein Bind alone can only suppress him. It's almost impossible to kill him," the old voice of the Wei River Sword said. "Use the power of your bloodline. This is the Devil World. We need to finish this quickly. "
Lu Sheng stabbed diagonally, and the blade turned into a horizontal slash, forcing the Demon to take a step back.
"The power of my bloodline is too little. Although I've been wearing this sword, it hasn't been for long. The amount of bloodline power you gave me was too little. "
"Don't worry, I'll lend you some power," the Wei River Sword said calmly. "This kind of merging of power is part of the contract."
"Forget it. I'll do it myself. "Lu Sheng twisted the Wei River Sword slightly, and a weak aura suddenly emanated from his body.
That aura was invisible and formless, but it caused everything around it to be covered with a thin layer of weight.
The Demon's body froze, and he immediately felt the effect. Although the weight wasn't much, only about fifty kilograms at most, the two were evenly matched, and Lu Sheng had the upper hand.
In a situation where the difference in strength wasn't that great, a negative gravity field suddenly appeared. Caught off guard, the Devil Race's movements suddenly slowed by a beat.
"Rip!!"
Lu Sheng took the opportunity to stab a bloody hole in the Demon's left arm.
"Despicable!" The Demon was furious, and pounced at Lu Sheng again. This time, in his rage, his movements were even faster and stronger, but the weight suddenly disappeared.
In a moment of carelessness, the Demon lost his balance from overexertion, and his claw aimed at Lu Sheng deviated. Lu Sheng easily dodged it, and his sword landed on his waist instead.
"Whoosh!!"
Another puff of black blood splattered on the ground.
"Ah!!!" The Demon roared, and like an enraged elephant, he became even more frenzied, and began to trade blows with Lu Sheng without fear of death.
But the weight kept appearing, moving left and right, up and down, and kept changing directions, pulling at his every move. Lu Sheng would also occasionally move around, and every now and then, he would stab a vital spot with his sword.
As this happened more and more, the Demon lost too much blood, and his movements became slower and slower. Finally, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"You … human … despicable!!" The Demon roared, panting as he stared at Lu Sheng with bloodshot eyes.
"If you're going to die, then die. What's the point of talking so much?" Lu Sheng stabbed his sword straight into his eye socket.
Blood slowly seeped out from the edge of the blade. The Demon fell backward, twitched for a while, and then stopped breathing.
