This was the first time since Chen Changsheng and the Black Dragon had gotten to know each other that the Black Dragon had agreed to help him without first negotiating the benefits. This was because that demon had made her recall some unpleasant memories, especially that large iron pot. Just looking at it made her feel annoyed. Moreover, the demon woman had mentioned that dragon-eating person, which made her feel even more annoyed.
The Black Dragon left Chen Changsheng's hand and transformed into a blur that the naked eye could not see. It rushed towards the center of the lake, and then like a falling leaf, it noiselessly sank to the bottom of the lake. It easily followed the path that reversed the world and returned to the cold pool on the other side of the cliff. It broke through the water and rushed towards a certain garden.
With her current level of strength, she had no way of influencing this battle. What Chen Changsheng wanted her to do was to warn and find helpers. In Chen Changsheng's view, if she could find those upper level Ethereal Opening seniors from the various sects, it would be best. However, she did not think this way. She was very clear on which human cultivator was the strongest in this garden. The world of the Garden of Zhou was very vast, but her luck was not bad. It did not take long before she saw the white-clothed girl walking alone on the cliff. However, when she saw the bow and arrow on the girl's body, she felt a chill and fear for some reason.
… …
… …
At this moment, Teng Xiaoming slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced into the distance. As the twenty-fourth Demon General, his cultivation was extremely high. Although the Black Dragon came and went like lightning and without a sound, he could still sense some movements. However, the Black Dragon's movements were just too fast, so fast that he could not see anything.
"Since Liang Xiaoxiao and Qi Jian are both people you want to kill, I understand," Chen Changsheng said to Liu Wan'er. Previously, when he had shot the Piercing Cloud Arrow, they had not responded at all. He had felt that it was rather strange. Now it seemed that the Demon General couple had deliberately allowed him to call for help, so that they could draw Liang Xiaoxiao and Qi Jian over and capture them in one fell swoop.
Liu Wan'er looked at him and smiled. "If we can resolve all the problems in the shortest amount of time, then that's naturally for the best."
Chen Changsheng looked at the dying demon beauty whose throat had been pierced by Zhexiu. He still had some doubts that could not be resolved.
"I really don't understand where you get the confidence to fight two against four," Zhexiu expressionlessly said.
Zhexiu expressionlessly said, "If we were outside the Garden of Zhou, with the illustrious reputation of the twenty-third and twenty-fourth Demon Generals, I would definitely have already fled. However, since you used some sort of method to forcefully suppress your strength to enter the Garden of Zhou, then you can only use this kind of cultivation to fight. The strongest of you is only at the upper level of Ethereal Opening. "
Liu Wan'er looked at him and calmly said, "Self-confidence is the foundation of an expert."
"But you know what? Chen Chang Sheng and I are the same, we are both people of few words. "Zhexiu looked at her and suddenly said.
Liu Wan'er raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "I can't tell."
Zhexiu said, "He said so many things to you, including me talking to you right now, for the same purpose as you … to buy time."
Liu Wan'er's eyebrows rose even higher as she asked, "Why?"
"You're right. Confidence is the foundation of an expert. "
Zhexiu said, "Chen Changsheng is very confident. He is stronger than the Chen Changsheng you all imagine him to be. Coincidentally, I also think of myself this way."
Right at this moment, a chilly and proud voice resounded in the forest.
"Correct, I also think the same way."
As the voice faded, two youths dressed in plain blademaster robes walked out from the forest.
The disciples of Mount Li had finally appeared.
They had already made their preparations for battle and had come with sword intent.
They looked at the Demon General couple. Refreshing sword Qi dazzled the eyes.
In the distant forest, the faint silhouette of clothes could be seen. It should be Zhuang Huanyu who was about to arrive.
At this moment, the situation had undergone a huge change.
Five geniuses amongst the human youths against two demon experts. No matter how one looked at it, they could fight, and their chances of victory were rather high.
Just as Zhexiu had said before, no matter how tyrannical the strength of the Demon General couple was outside the Garden of Zhou, in the Garden of Zhou, the strongest they could display was the strength of the upper level of Ethereal Opening.
The question that Chen Changsheng could not completely resolve was, why were they so confident?
Liu Wan'er's expression was still gentle, completely unlike Liang Xiaoxiao and Qi Jian who looked as if they were facing a great enemy. She looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Even if you want to fight, it seems like you should switch people first."
She held the life and death of the female disciple from the hidden sects of the east in her hands.
The life and death of that demon beauty rested on Zhexiu's fingertips.
"You're the Principal of the Orthodox Academy, even though you're so young that even I feel like the Pope is making trouble …"
Liu Wan'er looked at him and smiled. "But since you're a member of the Li Palace, you probably won't just watch as your own kind die. The Longevity Sect is an orthodox sect of profound sects. Although Mount Li likes to kill, they can't just watch as their own kind die. Wofu Zhexiu is a wolf cub. He can survive just by eating meat, but you can't."
Hearing these words, Zhexiu glanced at Chen Changsheng.
In the snowy plains, he was a wolf youth who would not give face to anyone. What Li Palace? What Mount Li? None of it had anything to do with him. As long as he lived, he could kill his enemies. However, after the trip to the capital, he had set his position very straight. In the Garden of Zhou, he was Chen Changsheng's bodyguard.
Chen Changsheng glanced at Qi Jian, and Qi Jian glanced at Liang Xiaoxiao.
"Change," Chen Changsheng and Liang Xiaoxiao said in unison.
Qi Jian nodded his head, indicating that it should be so. Zhexiu said nothing.
Liu Wan'er lightly waved her sleeve and did something. In the basket that Teng Xiaoming was carrying, that beautiful woman who had her right arm cut off but still remained unconscious, woke up.
Upon suddenly waking up, the first thing she felt was pain.
The woman's face instantly became incomparably pale, and two streams of tears flowed from her eyes. However, she clenched her teeth, and besides the very first snort, she actually did not make any other sound.
Seeing this scene, even Zhexiu was somewhat moved, as if he felt pity and respect.
Qi Jian used extreme speed to take off his outer garment, and with a shake of his arm, he wrapped it around her.
At this moment, the woman realized that her entire body was naked. After a moment of shock, she hatefully glared at Liu Wan'er.
Liu Wan'er faintly smiled, not minding.
"Please do not panic." Liang Xiaoxiao used the simplest of words to explain the current situation.
"Many thanks to my fellow Daoists for saving me."
The woman slightly crouched down and bowed. Her somewhat tight robe wrapped around her naked body, anyone would feel somewhat embarrassed. Her bare white feet stepping on the gravel covered ground would make anyone feel somewhat helpless, but there was not a hint of panic on her beautiful face. She was like a young lady from a noble family, and she was still wearing her home clothes.
The admiration in Zhexiu's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Qi Jian glanced at him and snorted in his heart.
That young lady from a noble family from the East walked towards Chen Changsheng's group.
Liu Wan'er and her husband did not obstruct her.
The riverbank was difficult to walk on. She had just lost a hand and lost a lot of blood, so she was currently in a weak state. However, she walked very steadily, probably because she did not want to bring any more variables.
After a moment, she walked in front of Chen Changsheng's group.
Qi Jian took two steps forward and extended his hand, intending to support her.
A hint of embarrassment and resistance appeared on the woman's beautiful face.
Only then did Qi Jian come to his senses. He somewhat hesitantly withdrew his hand and leaned to the side.
Chen Changsheng nodded to Zhexiu.
Zhexiu withdrew his sharp claws and grabbed the shoulder of the demon beauty, preparing to throw her back to Liu Wan'er and her husband.
Change.
A change that would absolutely occur.
A change that everyone had been silently waiting for for a very long time.
Finally, it happened at this moment.
… …
… …
The first change was with Zhexiu. When he threw the demon beauty into the air, she, who seemed on her last breaths and could die at any moment, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her two naked legs were like two swords suffused with cold light as they chopped at Zhexiu's throat.
The hole in her throat was still bleeding, and the stump of her wrist was still dripping blood.
From the moment she had been captured, she had not said a single word. Everyone believed that she no longer had the strength to fight.
No one could have imagined that she had only been waiting for the moment when Zhexiu's fingers left her throat.
The next change occurred in front of Qi Jian.
The moment he hesitantly turned around, the embarrassment on the face of the female disciple from the East suddenly vanished, leaving behind only indifference.
A cold sword edge tore through the robe, carrying with it a terrifying Qi as it stabbed at Qi Jian's throat.
This robe had originally been Qi Jian's.
She had used Qi Jian's kindness and propriety.
… …
… …
Since the change had begun, it naturally would not stop here.
Qi Jian did not turn around. It seemed like he was completely unprepared. Just when he was about to die to the woman's sneak attack, a bright sword glow lit up.
The Mount Li Sword Style!
It was upright, but it was definitely not peaceful. It was brimming with a somber intent!
Although Qi Jian was thin and small, his sword possessed an absolute aura!
How could that strange sneak attack contend against the sword that he had been accumulating energy for so long, that he had no qualms about it!
With a crisp sound, the Mount Li Sword Style in Qi Jian's hand sent the sword in the woman's hand flying. With a swish, it left a bloody mark on the left side of her neck!
If not for the fact that the woman's movement technique was too strange, if not for the fact that Qi Jian's battle experience was not too plentiful, he would probably have cut off the woman's head with this strike!
If even Qi Jian was prepared for a sneak attack, there was no need to mention Zhexiu.
By the time the demon beauty's legs had twisted like two swords, Zhexiu's two hands were already waiting in midair.
Like the edge of a knife stabbing into a rotten wooden board, there was a muffled squelch!
Zhexiu's ten fingers had all pierced deeply into the demon beauty's ankles. Blood instantly spurted out.
The demon beauty let out a wretched howl of anger!
Zhexiu's expression was indifferent. His fingers pulled out and his body suddenly blurred. His two hands pierced through the air, preparing to tear the woman to pieces.
Just at this moment, Teng Xiaoming indifferently took off his shoulder pole and began to brandish the two ropes tied to the basket.
Those two ropes seemed to come to life and separately tied around the two women.
With a whooshing sound, the two women narrowly escaped from Qi Jian and Zhexiu's attack range.
The woman pretending to be a disciple of a hidden eastern sect still had a stern and dignified expression, like a daughter of a noble family. However, half of her chest was soaked in blood, making her seem rather miserable.
The demon beauty was even more miserable. From the time she had been combing her hair on the stone in the center of the lake until now, she had continuously received heavy injuries. She could no longer support herself and directly sat down on the ground.
With a clang, Chen Changsheng's dagger returned to its sheath.
Liang Xiaoxiao's dagger was also unsheathed and grasped in his hand.
The previous sneak attack and counterattack had happened too quickly. Although they were prepared, they still did not have the time to unsheathe their swords.
It had to be said that Teng Xiaoming was indeed worthy of being the twenty-fourth Demon General. His insight, knowledge, experience, and strength were all a level higher than the humans present.
The lakeside once again became quiet.
The demon woman sitting on the ground constantly gasped for breath. She simply did not care that she was completely naked. She hatefully stared at Chen Changsheng and the others and said, "I refuse to accept this!"
The woman wearing Qi Jian's robes slightly raised her eyebrows. Her face also revealed a displeased expression. She asked, "It's fine if it's her idiot, but how did you see through me?"
The demon beauty angrily said, "What do you mean I'm an idiot?"
The woman shook her head, seemingly unwilling to pay attention to her. She looked at Qi Jian and asked, "How did you know that I would attack you?"
Qi Jian glanced at Zhexiu and said, "I don't know. He told me."
The woman looked at Zhexiu and slightly raised her eyebrows. She said, "Then how did you know that I was Nanke?"
Hearing Nanke's name, Zhexiu's expression became much more serious. He looked at her in silence for a while, then confirmed once more. He shook his head and said, "You're not Nanke … I said before, if you were Nanke, there would be no need to do so many things. You could just walk out and kill us. There would be no need to be so long-winded and troublesome."
The woman slightly creased her eyebrows and said, "Then how did you see through me? I don't have a demon horn, and my blood is red. "
The demon beauty's recovery ability was extremely terrifying. After suffering such heavy injuries, she only sat for a while before standing up again. She said with a face full of anger, "That's right! It's fine that my blood is green. A few days ago, I got a new hairstyle and cut it a bit too much. I can't completely cover up my demon horn. It's fine that you guys saw through me, but what about this girl? Her blood is clearly red and she doesn't even have a horn. How could you see that she's one of us? "
Chen Changsheng and the others also looked at Zhexiu, not knowing just how he had seen through her.
Zhexiu was silent for a very long time, then said, "You guys did it too deliberately, as if you wanted us to see that her blood was red."
He was talking about how the demon general couple had cut off the woman's hand without a second word.
Liu Wan'er glanced at the woman and smiled. "See, I said that your method was superfluous."
The woman looked at Zhexiu, very confused. She asked, "Just this one reason? Is there no other evidence? "
"Between life and death, one reason is enough," Zhexiu expressionlessly said.
The woman was even more displeased by this. She thought, why is it that the plan I've painstakingly thought up is completely useless in front of these humans?
The demon beauty looked at her and laughed. "See, I said that your head isn't very bright, but you just have to call me an idiot every day."
The woman expressionlessly said, "If you weren't an idiot, you wouldn't have thought of sneaking away by yourself and vainly tried to kill these two people by yourself."
… …
… …
Chen Changsheng and the others had a very strange feeling.
The demon beauty was extremely seductive and had a mature charm. The woman, on the other hand, had a dignified expression and a beautiful appearance, as if she was the daughter of a noble family that had been strictly raised since childhood. However, when the two of them mocked and argued with each other, they felt that the two women were incomparably similar, as if they were the same person.
Qi Jian felt even more strange. This was the first time he had truly seen demons and fought with demons. He discovered that these demons also knew how to argue and quarrel, just like his senior brothers and sisters in the sect. However, in the next moment, he came to his senses and realized that his way of thinking was too dangerous.
What brought him back to his senses was the change in the bodies of the two demon women.
Their hands that had clearly been cut off were actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was not the terrifying scene of regenerating muscle and bone, but rather, a translucent, light blue hand had appeared on their wrists.
However, that seemingly spiritual hand was gradually becoming a real hand.
Chen Changsheng was very shocked. Although the demons had powerful regenerative abilities, unless they were extremely pure-blooded members of the Imperial clan, no one could regrow severed limbs.
Moreover, this was clearly not some supreme demon art that allowed severed limbs to regrow.
Zhexiu finally thought of something and his face instantly paled.
These two demon women truly were not Nanke. They were … Nanke's two wings.
"Have you two played enough?" Liu Wan'er looked at the two women and said somewhat helplessly, "If it weren't for the fact that the two of you fought to be first in everything, I'm afraid that today's matter would have been settled long ago. Once Lord Zhexiu kills that Phoenix and learns of this matter, he'll punish you for another three years. Let's see what you can do then. "
Hearing this, the two witches revealed fearful expressions and didn't say anything else.
Liu Wan'er looked at Chen Changsheng and smiled apologetically, then said, "Do it."
Her black hair danced in the wind and her clothes madly fluttered.
This time, it was not a sneak attack, but a battle based on strength. On the contrary, it gave Chen Changsheng and the others an enormous pressure.
Qi Jian was awe-inspiring and fearless. He gripped his sword and advanced.
Zhexiu's face was expressionless. With a metallic edge, he extended his fingertip and once again attacked the demon woman.
The Qi on the lakeside was thrown into chaos. Sword Qi and Demon Qi clashed.
Chen Changsheng looked at Liu Wan'er, his expression grave.
Liang Xiaoxiao stared at Teng Xiaoming, his face slightly pale.
In terms of cultivation, they were higher than Zhexiu and Qi Jian, so it was only natural that these two Demon Generals were theirs.
In this battle, the young humans could still fight. If they could fight, they might not necessarily lose.
Perhaps they could hold out until the Black Dragon brought the other human experts over?
This was Chen Chang Sheng's plan, but he made a mistake on one matter.
Liu Wan'er had said to him to make a move, but in reality, she had not said it to him, but to someone else.
Amidst the flying sand and pebbles, a sword arrived behind Zhexiu.
This sword was very strong, this sword was very treacherous.
No matter how cautious Zhexiu was, he could not have imagined that a sword would stab at him from behind.
With a squelch, the sword stabbed into his waist.
Just like that, blood spurted out.
Almost at the same time, the demon woman flew in front of him.
Her hands, suffused with a wretched green, stabbed into his shoulders!
Her black hair scattered like steel needles, piercing straight into his eyes!
At the juncture of life and death, Zhexiu let out an extremely ruthless howl!
The eyes of the wolf tribe youth turned blood red!
