Seeing the Old Flood Dragon express his stance so urgently,
The White-Eyed Demon Emperor still had some doubts in his heart, but it wasn't appropriate to say more.
Moreover,
The temptation of a True Dragon's body was indeed enough to drive any Demon Emperor mad.
Ultimately,
He slowly nodded.
"In that case... then it shall be as you say, however..."
The White-Eyed Demon Emperor's tone shifted, becoming grim: "Let me put the ugly words first. Although we've agreed to help you stall, if things become impossible, or if that woman is so fierce that we cannot stand against her... at that time, don't blame this Emperor for being heartless and leaving on my own."
He was here for profit,
Not to throw his life away.
If his life was gone, what use would that True Dragon's providence be?
The Taiyuan Demon Emperor did not show the slightest displeasure upon hearing this.
Instead, he nodded very readily.
"That is only natural. This Emperor only needs you to hold her back for a short while. Once my divine technique reaches Major Achievement, I will naturally hurry back. If you truly cannot block her... you all may leave on your own."
Seeing this,
The Jiu Ying Demon Emperor's expression off to the side became somewhat unsightly.
As the Demon Emperor of Spirit Mountain's First Cave,
He was used to bossing others around.
Now, having to follow the orders of this Taiyuan, who usually kept a low profile, he naturally felt somewhat disgruntled.
Even for that old dragon, it was only because of his seniority that he gave him some face.
But now,
Even a shrewd fellow like White-Eye had agreed to join in.
If he were to put on airs now, it would instead make him seem ungrateful.
Moreover... that True Dragon was full of treasures.
If he could truly get a share of the spoils, enduring this bit of irritation was nothing.
"Hmph!"
The Jiu Ying Demon Emperor gave a cold snort, nine mouths opening simultaneously, his voice noisy and ear-piercing: "Since everything is settled, then this Emperor has nothing more to say, only..."
"Where are you going to find those million blood sacrifices? In the vicinity of Spirit Mountain, most of the Human Race has long been cleared out. Those remaining... are nothing more than snacks between teeth."
Since the other party claimed he could briefly touch the threshold of a Chess Player... presumably, it wasn't something that could be achieved by just finding a few villages to slaughter.
Hearing this,
The Taiyuan Demon Emperor said calmly: "Near Spirit Mountain, where is the largest gathering place of the Human Race?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
The three Demon Emperors were all stunned.
The Old Flood Dragon seemed to have thought of something and looked at Taiyuan in disbelief: "Great Tang... you plan to go to the Great Tang?!"
The Taiyuan Demon Emperor's mouth split open,
Revealing a mouthful of forest-white fangs.
His originally elegant and easy-going face now appeared incredibly savage.
"Correct, this Emperor intends to go to the Great Tang to get some Dao Cultivation..."
...The Void Realm trembled, and flowing fire splashed everywhere.
The giant hand of flame that spanned the sky finally failed to maintain its form under Jiang Yuechu's punch.
The giant hand collapsed, turning into a sky full of crimson fire rain that scattered down upon the mortal world.
And deep within that rift in the Void Realm,
The seated figure did not seem to have any intention of continuing to strike.
This high and mighty posture, treating everything as nothing,
If it were anyone else, they might feel fortunate because of the opponent's departure, glad to have escaped with their life.
But in Jiang Yuechu's eyes,
This was an extremely irritating form of arrogance.
"Heh..."
The young girl stood amidst the embers of the sea of fire, a cold smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
A fight is a fight; in a life-and-death struggle, the most taboo thing is this kind of posturing.
In human terms... "Damn it, I hate people who act cool the most."
Jiang Yuechu's expression was indifferent, without the slightest hesitation.
She didn't even bother to care whose handiwork it was, nor did she care to think if the opponent had some trump card.
BOOM—!!!
The Void Realm beneath her feet exploded.
The black robes figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Rolling black mist surged like angry waves, carrying a sky-toppling killing intent as it lunged straight toward that Vermillion Primordial Spirit dazed in mid-air.
Junior Sister Xu's Primordial Spirit was currently floating there blankly.
Before she could even recover from the surprise of her Senior Brother's intervention, she saw that Jinx already before her eyes.
However,
Just at the moment Jiang Yuechu was about to touch that Primordial Spirit,
A sudden change occurred.
Jiang Yuechu only felt a sudden flash of white before her eyes.
It was as if the entire world, in this instant, had been forcibly stripped of its color.
Though it was only for a brief moment,
In a clash between masters, a moment is life and death!
With no time to think,
Jiang Yuechu subconsciously jerked her head sharply to the side.
TSCH—!!!
A blinding bolt of lightning shot past, almost grazing her cheek.
The lightning's momentum didn't decrease as it crashed into a mountain peak behind her.
The entire peak didn't even make a sound before half of it was instantly gone.
The next moment,
A sonic boom suddenly exploded beside her.
An incredibly massive limb, like a pillar supporting the heavens, lashed out fiercely toward Jiang Yuechu!
This strike was fast as lightning and heavy as a mountain.
It was clearly calculated for the gap where Jiang Yuechu's old strength was spent and her new strength had yet to rise.
Jiang Yuechu narrowed her eyes slightly, abruptly stopping her momentum and raising her left arm across her side.
The blood and Qi in her body roared like a rushing river.
BOOM—!!!
The massive sound of impact echoed through the clouds.
It was as if two mountains of iron had slammed into each other.
A terrifying shockwave centered on the two of them, frantically spreading outward and shattering all the clouds within a hundred-mile radius.
However,
The expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not occur.
Jiang Yuechu's figure sank slightly in the air.
But she did not retreat a single step.
Even her sleeve was not damaged in the slightest.
At this moment,
Whether it was the White-Eyed Demon Emperor hiding in the shadows for a sneak attack,
Or the Old Flood Dragon who had just spat out a bolt of lightning,
Or the Jiu Ying Demon Emperor currently maintaining his striking posture,
The three overlords who had dominated Spirit Mountain for countless ages all felt a shock in their hearts, their eyes revealing looks of disbelief.
How is this possible?!
This was a killing trap laid by the three of them together!
First, use White-Eye to confuse her mind, then use lightning to break her defense, and finally use Jiu Ying's massive strength to suppress her body.
After this series of moves, even if Wang Canglan had come, he couldn't possibly be this relaxed and effortless, right?
But this woman... was actually unharmed?!
Before they could recover from their shock,
Jiang Yuechu slowly raised her head.
Her cold eyes, piercing through the rolling black mist, stared coldly at the giant spider limb before her.
"I haven't looked for you yet, but you've come looking for me first?"
Before her voice had even faded,
Her right hand had already reached out, grabbing another of the opponent's front legs.
"..."
The Jiu Ying Demon Emperor's eighteen eyes all narrowed together, indifferently sizing up the tiny black robes woman before him.
He didn't expect
That under such circumstances, this woman was not only unharmed but didn't even try to flee.
Instead... she even dared to actively reach out and grab his forelimb?
What was this?
A provocation?
Or was it that, amidst the encirclement of these three Demon Emperors, she felt he was the softest target to squeeze?
At this thought,
The suppressed displeasure in the Jiu Ying Demon Emperor's heart instantly turned into sky-toppling rage.
He was the Demon Emperor of Spirit Mountain's First Cave!
He was the undisputed overlord among the Seventy-two Caves of demons!
Yet now,
This human girl who had appeared out of nowhere dared to despise him so?
"Heh..."
The Jiu Ying Demon Emperor's nine mouths split open simultaneously: "Ignorant thing... do you really think you are Wang Canglan?"
