The woman's clothes had long since fallen into the lake during the battle. Her entire body was naked and her satin-like skin was covered in water droplets. The cool lake breeze blew past, causing tiny particles to tremble under the water droplets. Together with her soft and undulating curves, the scene was extremely alluring — a woman lying naked on the riverbank in front of two youths was a very shameful and embarrassing matter, but her face did not have any expression, did not have any such thoughts. It was not because of the broken bones or the claws in her throat, but because of something else.
This assassination had started too quickly and ended even more quickly. The changes in the middle were so fast that it seemed as if there were no changes at all. It was as if from the very beginning, Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu knew everything, so everything that happened afterwards seemed to be as it should be. Only … why was all this happening? Why were these two human youths able to see through her trap? Why was the Peacock Plume unable to pierce through Chen Changsheng's skin? Why were these two youths so ruthless and cold, even more ruthless than her?
The wolf claws were still deeply in her throat, so she could not turn her head. She could only move her eyes, from Zhexiu's face, which was almost within reach, to Chen Changsheng's face. The confusion in her eyes grew even stronger. They were clearly two youths that still had a childishness between their brows, so why did they possess a maturity that surpassed their age, and even cunning?
She could not make a sound, so she naturally could not voice these questions. She could only express them through her eyes. As the victor, when they saw these kinds of eyes, they would often use a very gentle tone to sort out and explain the situation. This was the right and glory of the victor, but Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu did not say anything. They gazed at their surroundings, remaining vigilant — they were not good at explaining, and explaining was a meaningless matter in the first place. It was just a waste of time, and wasting time was the same as murdering lives. Moreover, this matter was not over yet.
"The scene of you sitting in the middle of the lake combing your hair was truly beautiful, but everyone knew that there was a problem. Most importantly, we did not grasp that Principal Chen's body, for some unknown reason, was actually stronger than a perfect Purification. The Peacock Plume could pierce through the skin of a normal Star Condensation cultivator, but it could not pierce through his neck. From that moment on, your defeat was fated. "
A voice came from the lakeside forest. The voice was very steady and gave people a very friendly feeling. It was like a big sister next door, explaining to her neighbors how the pot of red meat was made. However, Zhexiu's complexion suddenly changed. He stared at the edge of the forest, at the woman's throat. The knuckles of his right hand were pale, ready to kill her at any moment. He seemed somewhat nervous.
His nervousness came from the owner of the voice, but it also came from the fact that the voice had mentioned the Peacock Plume. It made him think of someone.
Chen Changsheng knew that Zhexiu had an innate sensitivity towards danger, and he had an incomparably deep understanding of the demon race, so he very naturally became nervous.
"After the two of them emerged from the lake, Principal Chen used some unknown method to convince that wolf cub to let you attack. Then, while you were unprepared, he launched a counterattack. From there, he seized the initiative and displayed the speed and strength that he is most proficient in to the fullest. Zhexiu, on the other hand, hid in the rear, waiting for an opportunity to attack … It must be known that the wolf is most proficient in enduring silently and then striking a fatal blow. You wanted to ambush and kill the two of them, but in reality, you were ambushed and killed by the two of them."
"Why was that sword so fast that it could cut off your hand? It's because the true essence attached to it was too vigorous. Your Demonic Charm ability was ineffective. He could not be charmed because he had the thousand scrolls of the Daoist Canon guarding his heart. As for that wolf cub, he only has enemies in his eyes. He doesn't differentiate between men and women. "
The voice continued, brimming with sincere praise. "Your cultivation level is above theirs, but you were suppressed by them in every aspect … truly extraordinary children. Even I feel some fear. They are worthy of being the future of humanity that the Military Advisor ordered us to kill. If they were allowed to continue growing, in a few decades, who in Xuelao City would be a match for them?"
With the rustling of grass and falling leaves, the woman who had spoken walked out of the forest. However, she was not alone. At her side was a middle-aged man.
The woman had a dignified appearance and a gentle expression. She was dressed in cloth and carried an enormous iron pot in her hand. As she slowly walked over, she did not stop talking. She really was like a big sister next door. Even the most cautious person would find it very difficult to feel ill will towards this kind of person, or to be too wary.
The middle-aged man had an extremely mediocre appearance and seemed extremely honest. From beginning to end, he had not said a single word. On his shoulder was a pole made of some unknown material. It was bent to an extremely exaggerated degree, but it still did not break. At the same time, this was proof of how heavy the things in his pole were.
Seeing this man and woman, Zhexiu's pupils suddenly constricted. His two feet pushed off the ground and he quickly stood up, hiding behind Chen Changsheng. During this entire process, his claws were still deeply embedded in the throat of the naked woman. He was not using Chen Changsheng as a shield, but to prevent the other party from suddenly snatching him away.
This meant that even if he could kill the woman with a single move, he still did not have the confidence that he would not be snatched away by this man and woman.
Just who were this man and woman?
Chen Changsheng looked at the two horns on the middle-aged man's head. The hand holding the hilt of his sword became slightly wet. Other than the imperial family, all demons would grow a pair of demon horns upon reaching adulthood. The demon horns would grow longer with age and strength. This middle-aged man's demon horns were actually so long. Just how strong was this person?
"Let me introduce myself. We are husband and wife."
The woman looked at Chen Changsheng and warmly smiled. She softly said, "I am called Liu Wan 'er, an Aquarius constellation. I am good at enduring, patient, kind and careful. He is my lover. He is called Teng Xiao Ming, an Azure Bull constellation. His temperament is a bit slow. To put it nicely, he is steady. He likes to stay at home all day.
He really is not promising. "She said that he was not promising, as if she was complaining. However, her gaze towards the middle-aged man was filled with love and respect.
The middle-aged man gave a simple and honest smile, but did not say anything.
Chen Changsheng vigilantly stared at this couple. His lips moved slightly, and in an extremely weak voice, he asked Zhexiu, who was behind him, "What Aquarius Azure Bull?"
Although his voice was soft, it completely fell into the ears of the demon woman called Liu Wan 'er.
Zhexiu's face was somewhat pale. He said, "The connection between the Star Domains is a map. The demons believe that everyone belongs to a different Star Domain. Their destinies and personalities are restricted."
This was the first time Chen Changsheng had heard of such a theory.
Liu Wan 'er smiled and said, "The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. The number of stars we can see is very few, so in the secular culture, the Star Domains are more mysterious. In this aspect, I have always felt that the behavior of you humans is somewhat lacking. You always wish that this world did not have the Sacred Moon."
Chen Changsheng thought that if he was not well-versed in the Daoist Canon, he would probably be the same as the majority of the humans on the continent. He would not know that at the end of the snowy plains where the demons lived, there was the existence of a moon.
Liu Wan 'er's gaze swept over his shoulder and fell on Zhexiu's face. Her smile gradually faded, and she said seriously, "You are that wolf cub?"
Chen Changsheng noticed that Zhexiu's complexion was somewhat pale. He could not help but be somewhat astonished. He thought, just who is this couple to make him react like this?
"Twenty-third Demon Generals, Twenty-fourth Demon Generals …" Zhexiu's voice was somewhat hoarse. "How did you enter the Garden of Zhou?"
In the demon race, there was a very famous couple. The two of them were both Demon Generals. Their strength was extremely tyrannical, and it was rumored that they were extremely cruel.
It was the couple in front of them.
Zhexiu had killed many demons in the past few years, but the vast majority of the time, he only roamed the snowy plains. After hiding for many days, he would ambush the lone demon soldiers.
Demon Generals were not opponents that he could defeat.
Even though his strength had suddenly increased and he had broken into Ethereal Opening, he still did not hope to defeat this couple.
He did not understand how such a powerful Demon General couple could enter the Garden of Zhou. It must be known that the Garden of Zhou only allowed Ethereal Opening cultivators to exist.
Chen Changsheng did not think that this couple would actually be Demon Generals.
This couple wore plain clothes and straw sandals. One of them carried a pole while the other carried a pot. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed like a couple that sold food. Where did they have the bearing of a Demon General?
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that on the pole that the middle-aged man carried, there was a person — it was a young woman. Her outer clothes had already been taken off, and she was wearing a white undergarment. However, it was very tight, revealing nothing that should not be revealed. The woman was very beautiful. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her eyelashes did not blink. She was probably unconscious.
Chen Changsheng remembered something. When the woman that he and Zhexiu had heavily injured was combing her hair on the rock in the center of the lake, she had been wearing the clothes of a certain eastern hidden sect … this beautiful woman who was unconscious on the pole should have been a female disciple of that eastern hidden sect.
The scenery of the lake and mountains was originally incomparably beautiful, and the couple seemed very gentle, even simple and honest. However, with their appearance, the entire world seemed to become gloomy. Especially the unconscious woman curled up on the pole and the naked woman with Zhexiu piercing her throat, they added a strange color to this scene.
The demons were blessed by the heavens. Their bodies could be said to be perfect, and they rarely fell sick. Their meridians were also perfect, and they could cultivate all kinds of techniques. They were different from humans. When they cultivated, they did not absorb starlight, but an even purer form of energy. At the same level, demons were innately stronger than humans. Moreover, the Demon General couple that they were facing should be able to crush them in terms of cultivation.
"Call for help," Zhexiu said in a low voice from behind him.
Chen Changsheng understood his meaning. They had jumped down from the waterfall to find the Sword Pool, and at the same time, because they knew that Liang Xiaoxiao, Qi Jian, and Zhuang Huanyu might be inside.
Two against two, they would definitely lose. If Liang Xiaoxiao and the other two could promptly appear, perhaps they still had a chance of victory.
But how should he call for help? Should he loudly shout to the silent lake and mountain forest for help?
Just as he was seriously considering this matter, Zhexiu's hand reached out from behind his shoulder, and gave him an item.
This was the Zhou Army's most commonly used Cloud Piercing Arrow. It needed to be used with both hands.
Chen Changsheng received the Cloud Piercing Arrow and used a little force.
With a whoosh, a firework dispersed in the azure sky, and an extremely loud sound spread in all directions.
