Chapter 364: Chapter 276: Interception! Director, Please Wait! (2)
"Hmph!"
"A mere demon beast at the pinnacle of the Demon King dares to secretly infiltrate the Great Xia Dynasty from the Western Extreme Land. Truly courting death!"
The voices were cold and authoritative, exploding at the riverbed as if carrying with them an endless sense of oppression.
Before the voice died away, the purple light in Zi Yao’s eyes suddenly surged, her alabaster hand raising gently as she slammed forcefully in the direction of her gaze.
"Boom—!"
A terrifying pillar of water suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Immediately, this enormous flood of water transformed into a thousand-foot water dragon.
This thousand-foot water dragon, carrying an unstoppable momentum, fiercely broke through the layers of surrounding river water and flew straight toward the distance.
The thousand-foot water dragon was vivid and lifelike, with scales and claws clearly defined, as if a true dragon had descended upon the world, leaving one awestruck.
A few kilometers away, King Qing, who had transformed into human form, was hidden in the darkness.
In its golden vertical pupils flickered a gleam of ferociousness as it stared intently at Zi Yao.
King Qing intended to secretly attack this mysterious woman!
However, when it saw the thousand-foot water dragon rushing toward it, its ugly, withered face instantly tensed.
"What!"
"This damned human discovered me!"
King Qing was terrified beyond words, wanting to dodge but found itself completely immobilized by a mysterious force.
It could only watch helplessly as the terrifying water dragon closed in, the terrifying aura of death looming over its heart.
At that critical moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out:
"Director!"
"Hold on!"
"Director!"
"There’s no need for you to personally handle such a minor demon beast, leave it to me instead."
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zi Yao’s beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, the crystalline purple brilliance swirling within.
Her skin like creamy jade, she gently waved her hand, her long sleeves of purple stream light fluttering gracefully.
A faint touch of brilliant purple light floated out of the river like gossamer, gently brushing past the thousand-foot water dragon.
In an instant, the unstoppable power of the thousand-foot water dragon was suddenly halted, as if time itself had been paused.
Soon enough, the thousand-foot water dragon began to rapidly disintegrate, gradually dissipating into the water.
The surging torrent reverted into ordinary river water in the blink of an eye, merging seamlessly into the vast river, as if nothing had ever happened.
At the moment when Zi Yao’s power dissipated, several hundred meters behind King Qing, a ripple surfaced in the river.
A flash of purple light, and Lu Xuan’s silhouette suddenly emerged.
His expression was stern, eyes like lightning, without a hint of hesitation, his right hand swiftly clenched forward.
"Boom—!"
Lu Xuan’s Primordial Spirit force surged forth, instantly coalescing into an enormous hand of water, like the hand of a deity, mercilessly enveloping King Qing.
Within the giant water hand was an intimidating pressure, as if the heavens and earth were under its control.
Before King Qing could even react, it was completely engulfed by the giant water hand controlled by Lu Xuan.
The water hand clenched abruptly, producing a thunderous boom.
"Bang—!"
A terror-inducing shockwave expanded from King Qing’s center, instantly displacing the surrounding river water, forming a massive vacuum zone.
The river water surged back, air waves billowed, as if the invisible space itself was contorted and distorted by the impact.
King Qing’s silhouette struggled within the giant water hand, to no avail.
Its golden vertical pupils filled with terror and despair, it let out a low roar, "No—!"
Yet Lu Xuan showed no intention of mercy!
A demon beast is just a demon beast!
These demon beasts showed no remorse when devouring humans.
Lu Xuan’s gaze was icy, his right hand clenched fiercely, causing the giant water hand to contract sharply, utterly pulverizing King Qing!
"Rumble!"
In an instant, a bizarre teal mist of blood spread through the water.
Simultaneously, a large amount of fragmented flesh and bizarrely glowing teal scales floated freely under the powerful current.
The area where the thousand-foot green snake’s body lay turned an eerie shade of teal.
However, amidst this bloodthirsty and terrifying stream, a faint teal light peeked out from between the flesh and scales.
The teal light was cold and eerie, like some bone-chilling ghastly presence.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, locking his gaze on the source of the teal light.
There he saw a round teal bead quietly floating in the water.
The size of the teal bead was about the size of a palm, its surface swirling with strange teal patterns.
"Is this... the Demon Core of the Demon King?"
Lu Xuan murmured to himself, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Spiritual Mansion True Person (????)
Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Burning Saber Skill 7/9, Instant Transcendence 3/9, Undying and Imperishable 6/9
Points: 49660
An additional 35,000 System Points!
Slaying a demon beast at the pinnacle of the Demon King granted more System Points than a supreme heaven and earth Spiritual Object by 5000!
He intervened in stopping the Director simply for the Demon Core within the body of the completed Demon King green snake.
If it weren’t for that, the terrifying blow from the Director earlier!
Never mind the green snake, even Lu Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
Even someone like Lu Xuan, whose physical body is considered undying and imperishable, felt fear from that strike.
The green snake demon beast wouldn’t just be pulverized; it wouldn’t even leave a hair behind, let alone its Demon Core, which would definitely vanish without a trace.
Though the green snake had no hair, it still testified to the terrifying aspect of Zi Yao’s strike.
Truly a woman unaware of worldly matters.
Lu Xuan silently mused, not even considering the Demon Core of the completed Demon King beast.
It seems the Director, like the Empress in the palace, lacks for nothing!
Lu Xuan reached out to grasp the Demon Core of King Qing, which quickly flew into his palm.
The Demon Core of King Qing felt cold to the touch but faintly exuded a majestic spiritual power.
"Never expected that King Qing could condense such a pure Demon Core."
"Seems the demon beasts of the Western Extreme Land are truly extraordinary."
While holding King Qing’s Demon Core, Lu Xuan also entertained thoughts about the Western Extreme Land.
It is said that the demon beasts there reside in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, endless and abundant.
Unfortunately, there is a seal outside the Great Xia Dynasty, and Lu Xuan didn’t know if he could venture out.
While Lu Xuan was contemplating the prospects of the Western Extreme Land, an unabashed gaze fell straight on him.
Lu Xuan suddenly snapped back to reality.
Hmm, seemed like he almost forgot about this one!
He looked up to see Zi Yao, standing quietly in the water at a distance.
Her long dress of flowing purple stream fluttered elegantly, her gaze indifferent yet bearing a hint of scrutiny as she observed him.
Lu Xuan, unperturbed, clasped his hands together as if nothing was wrong, bowing slightly in Zi Yao’s direction.
"Director!"
"This demon beast has been dealt with by me, so I won’t disturb you further, Director."
Finished speaking, without waiting for Zi Yao’s response, Lu Xuan’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of purple light, instantly vanishing from the scene.
Lu Xuan’s swift and decisive actions were as if he feared staying a moment longer.
Of course, Lu Xuan didn’t flee far; he paused in the area about five miles away.
He still had an eye on that Nether Python!
Besides, the battle between two suspected Void Realm powerhouses was something Lu Xuan was eager to witness.
Indeed, Lu Xuan had already deduced it.
The Profound Bird Guard Director Zi Yao before his eyes, along with the Nether Python beneath the river, were supreme Void Realm presences!
In the distance, Zi Yao watched where Lu Xuan disappeared, her lips slightly parted, murmuring softly to herself.
"This Lu Xuan is truly a rare genius!"
"The speed of his power advancement is so fast, even I feel a bit intimidated!"
"It seems that before long, the Great Xia Dynasty will see the emergence of yet another True Lord of the Void Realm."
