Chapter 120: The Desperate Rain Clan, How Are There Venerable-Level Ferocious Beasts? And Two of Them?!
"Rumble!"
Outside Stone Village, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened. Thick clouds gathered as thunder roared.
Immediately after, an enormous bronze warship tore through the clouds, diving down like a steel beast before steadily hovering above Stone Village.
"Th-that is…"
Seeing this scene, Shi Yunfeng's pupils shrank violently, and the cane in his hand nearly slipped from his grip in fright.
Looking up, banners fluttered atop the warship. Powerful figures clad in water-blue battle armor stood at the bow, each radiating an aura so overwhelming it filled him with despair.
They were beings far more terrifying than anything he had ever encountered during his years wandering outside.
Especially the middle-aged man standing at the very front, surrounded by mist and rain, his eyes like lightning. Just a single glance from him made Shi Yunfeng's entire body tremble.
The Rain King!
"I wonder which lord has arrived. We failed to welcome you from afar; please forgive us."
Shi Yunfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart as he stepped forward with several clan elders and cupped his hands in greeting.
Though his strength was low, as the village chief, he absolutely could not show weakness at this moment. Even for the sake of the villagers of Stone Village, he had to be the first to step forward.
"Hmph."
However, the Rain King had no interest in wasting words with him.
He looked down at the villagers condescendingly, then spoke coldly:
"Enough nonsense."
With a wave of his hand, a portrait unfurled in midair and floated before Shi Yunfeng.
In the portrait was Little One, holding the Kunpeng bone, grinning carefree.
"Have you seen this child?" the Rain King demanded, his gaze filled with disdain.
The moment he saw the portrait, Shi Yunfeng's pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.
Little One!
They really came for that child!
Did Little One cause trouble outside?
No, with Liu Shen there, nothing should have happened.
First, send them away. Everything can be dealt with after Liu Shen and Little One return.
Thinking this, Shi Yunfeng immediately shook his head with a confused expression.
"Replying to my lord, this child does look handsome, but in our remote and impoverished place, we've never seen such a noble young master."
"Never seen him?"
The Rain King clearly did not believe him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze seeming capable of piercing into one's soul as he stared fixedly at Shi Yunfeng's face.
Although Shi Yunfeng concealed it well, that fleeting contraction of his pupils and the flash of tension still did not escape the eyes of this seasoned lord.
"You are lying."
Shi Yunfeng tried to explain, but the impatient Rain King cut him off directly.
"Do you take this king for a three-year-old child?"
With a cold laugh, the pressure of a Formation realm expert burst forth without reservation, attempting to force Shi Yunfeng and the others to their knees and compel the truth out of them.
"Since you refuse the toast, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Men! Capture everyone in this village!"
"I will refine them into flesh puppets and use them as bait to set a net that covers the sky!"
"As long as that bastard dares to return, he'll watch every one of these villagers die miserably before his eyes!"
"Yes!"
With the Rain King's command, dozens of Rain Clan experts leapt down from the warship like dumplings falling into a pot.
Gripping their rune-etched halberds, they charged toward Stone Village with killing intent.
"Fight them!"
Though Shi Linhu and the other young men were afraid, they knew there was no peaceful resolution today. Roaring in anger, they grabbed bone clubs and great bows, ready to protect their people.
But the gap in strength was far too great.
These were the Formation Realm and Inscription Realm experts. Any one of them could wipe out the entire Stone Village!
Just as the Rain Clan experts approached the village entrance with ferocious grins, two terrifying roars suddenly erupted from behind Shi Yunfeng and the others:
"ROAR!!"
"SCREECH!!"
At that moment, Mao Qiu and the little red bird, who had been trembling in the corner, finally revealed their true forms.
They might fear the Double Pupils Woman, but that didn't mean they feared these Rain Clan scoundrels!
If they allowed the villagers of Stone Village to be slaughtered, they could already imagine their own fate.
If that mysterious sacrificial spirit became enraged, even the entire Fire Kingdom might be destroyed along with them.
So they had to act.
Boom!
In an instant, golden light shot into the sky.
The palm-sized Mao Qiu suddenly expanded with the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a golden giant ape dozens of zhang tall!
Its body was packed with bulging muscles, as if cast from gold. With three ferocious heads roaring and six arms each wielding divine power, it slapped a Rain Clan expert attempting to ambush Er Meng into a pulp!
The true form of the ancient Zhu Yan!
At the same time, beside Zhu Yan, crimson radiance surged into the sky.
The seemingly harmless little red bird also transformed into a massive crimson divine bird whose wings blotted out the sky, its entire body engulfed in Nanming Lihuo capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.
With a single flap of its wings, a rain of fire descended, instantly burning several Rain Clan experts at the front into ashes!
The sacrificial spirit of the Fire Kingdom!
The Primordial Vermilion Bird!
Two Venerable-level pure-blooded creatures finally stopped hiding!
"ROAR!!"
With three heads and six arms, Zhu Yan was terrifying beyond measure—this was its great supernatural power.
As its six arms swung, those usually lofty Rain Clan experts clad in treasure armor were smashed to pieces.
In just a single exchange, seven or eight Rain Clan experts were turned into pulp by those massive golden hands, not even having time to scream.
On the other side, Nanming Lihuo burned the sky!
The ancient Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and countless crimson divine feathers transformed into 108,000 swords, covering half the sky indiscriminately.
Wherever the flames passed, the Rain Dao runes of the Rain Clan were instantly evaporated, and even the rainwater capable of corroding metal and stone vanished into nothingness.
"AH!!!"
"My arm, my arm!!!"
"What kind of fire is this?! Why can't water techniques extinguish it?!"
In an instant, miserable screams resounded throughout the Rain Clan as they were tortured and slaughtered!
"Pure-blooded creatures?!"
"And Venerable-level pure-blooded creatures at that?!"
On the warship, the Rain King, who had previously been cold and dismissive, now trembled under the protection of the Rain God's leftover method.
Looking at the two Venerable-level fierce beasts unleashing devastation in the distance, this once-arrogant ruler of a clan felt as if he had seen a ghost, utterly horrified!
"How is this possible?!"
"In such a remote and impoverished wilderness, how could there be fully grown Venerables?!"
"And two of them!"
At this thought, the Rain King felt his scalp go numb.
Although he was a powerful figure himself, before Venerable-level experts, he was nothing.
This was also why he hadn't gone directly to the Kunpeng nest to seize treasures but instead chose to sneak here and lie in wait.
