Chapter 2167 - 2156: Yao Qingjiao’s Escape

"Why has the Taihuang Demon come here? This matter has nothing to do with their Taishang Sect at all. Is this woman trying to make an enemy out of our Demon God Sect?" Yao Chenfeng cursed under his breath in displeasure.

This time, in their secretive attack on the two protectors of the Buddhist Sect, they didn’t attract anyone from the Holy Hall but instead drew the attention of the Taihuang Demon. Clearly, the Taihuang Demon intended to oppose their Demon God Sect.

"Sect Master, you leave first, I will hold them off." Yao Chenfeng gripped his heavy war bow, his right hand pinched a glinting cold arrow between two fingers. As soon as the Taihuang Demon dared approach, his cold arrow would surely shoot her down immediately.

"Alright, be cautious, if you can’t handle it, quickly make your escape!" Yao Qingjiao smacked his shoulder vigorously, then turned and leaped several times, vanishing into the dark night.

"Clang!"

The Taihuang Demon was surrounded by dozens of cultivators with high cultivation. However, given her current cultivation prowess, these experts were no match for her; she swung her sword and killed instantly, blood splashed, and the sound of killing was continuous with cries of pain incessantly echoing.

"Taihuang Demon, our Demon God Sect originally did not intend to provoke you, but since you’re choosing to oppose us, you are courting death." Yao Chenfeng squinted his eyes, and with a swift sound, the cold arrow pierced through the air straight toward the Taihuang Demon’s face. If she were hit by this arrow, even if not dead, she would be seriously injured!

"Clang!"

The Taihuang Demon swung her swords, the Heartless Sword and the Heartless Sword moved left and right, shattering the glinting cold arrow on the spot.

The Heartless Sword was originally taken by Nangong Bing, but later the Taishang Sect reconciled with the Holy Hall, and thus, the Taihuang Demon no longer bothered the Holy Hall, leading Nangong Bing to return the Heartless Sword to her to maintain peace.

Now, with the dual swords in the hands of the Taihuang Demon, coupled with her recent surge in cultivation, her combat power rivals that of an Eastern King, a single cold arrow can hardly kill her.

"Shush~"

Yao Chenfeng soared into the air, launching a powerful palm strike, a beam of light swept toward the Taihuang Demon. Despite struggling, Yao Chenfeng was an Eastern King, one of the top ranks among the eighteen Eastern Kings, with a fierce and robust combat power. Facing the Taihuang Demon was not strenuous, defeating Yao Chenfeng wouldn’t be easy for the Taihuang Demon either.

However, Yao Chenfeng wasn’t keen on offending the Taishang Sect, knowing that their Sect Hierarch, the Supreme Emperor, had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and once enraged, the entire Demon God Sect couldn’t contend against the Taishang Sect.

"Bang!"

Yao Chenfeng once again pulled his bow, a cold arrow collided with the Taihuang Demon’s dual swords. The cold arrow imbued with Yao Chenfeng’s immense Elemental Power exploded in a thunderous roar, inciting a burst of purple fires upon breaking against the Taihuang Demon’s swords.

The violent energy forced the Taihuang Demon back several dozen meters. Landing, she raised her head fiercely, a slight smirk playing at her lips, her eyes emitting two ghostly cold lights. With a shout, her figure moved, transforming into countless black shadows rapidly rushing toward Yao Chenfeng.

Facing a sky full of the Taihuang Demon’s shadows, Yao Chenfeng had only one war bow. Though the war arrows were numerous, time required to draw the bow made it impossible to shoot every target or react swiftly enough.

"Leave your life, I’ll leave your whole body!"

The Taihuang Demon hovered high above, shadows surrounding, causing Yao Chenfeng’s brow to furrow repeatedly, unsure of which shadow was her true form. Nonetheless, Yao Chenfeng was someone experienced in great turbulence and couldn’t be frightened by a brief threat from the Taihuang Demon. In other words, despite the Taihuang Demon’s capabilities and tactics, dealing with Yao Chenfeng instantly was still far-fetched.

Yao Chenfeng, as one of the eighteen Eastern Kings, held cultivation and strength comparable to Yao Qingjiao. Yao Qingjiao’s rise as the Sect Master of the Demon God Sect was due to his more ruthless nature and cruel methods, whereas Yao Chenfeng presented more scholarly air.

How could a learned, scholarly figure possibly rule the Demon God Sect?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a shadow swiftly closed in, Yao Chenfeng shot an arrow, but after dispatching the shadow before him, another shadow emerged from behind, faster than his bow and arrow. A powerful foot, carrying unmatched energy, heavily kicked at his chest. Yao Chenfeng’s body endured tremendous force, slammed into the ground, creating a crater.

"Damn it!" Yao Chenfeng gritted his teeth, his brow furrowing again, not expecting the Taihuang Demon to be so fierce and formidable. Initially, he thought he could handle her easily, revealing he underestimated her cultivation prowess.

"Do you wish to remain whole or settle yourself?" The Taihuang Demon, clad in green, descended gently from the sky.

"Hmph, you believe you can kill me?" Yao Chenfeng retorted with a cold smile, turning around, his right hand brushing over his back, five dark cold arrows all placed on the war bow, aimed at all fatal points on the Taihuang Demon’s body.

As soon as his fingers released, those five cold war arrows would immediately shoot towards the Taihuang Demon. Although she wielded boundless Mana and high cultivation, she faced not just any ordinary cultivator, but a genuine Eastern King.

Yao Chenfeng possessed a superior Holy Artifact, though he dared not use it yet, for he hadn’t been driven to desperation. Once forced into a corner, the Holy Artifact would not only emerge, even his life might be sacrificed.

While the situation hadn’t completely unraveled, Yao Chenfeng aimed to protect himself from harm, to ensure he wouldn’t perish. Without the Holy Artifact, how could the Taihuang Demon prove he was part of the Demon God Sect?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly, five dark cold arrows flew from Yao Chenfeng’s fingers, a chorus of piercing air whistles echoing sharply. These arrows contained vast power and shot toward the Taihuang Demon from five different angles. No matter the Taihuang Demon’s skills, neutralizing these arrows from such diverse directions posed a challenge.

Shush...

After releasing the five arrows, Yao Chenfeng wasted no time, immediately turning to flee. To remain longer and engage in battle risked attracting the Holy Hall’s people, and even if not dead, he’d suffer severe consequences given the Holy Hall’s current formidable stance.

"Clang clang clang!"

The Taihuang Demon moved like a hurricane, with swords crossed in defense, slicing through beams of light, savagely shattering the five arrows. Then, with a vigorous throw of the Heartless Sword in her right hand, the sword light shot upward, aiming straight at the fleeing Yao Chenfeng.

Her sword’s inherent power was immense, and the Heartless Sword, having been forged from Holy Iron by the Supreme Emperor during his prime, bore boundless power. Once it caught up to Yao Chenfeng, it seemed to possess a spiritual sense, relentlessly pursuing him no matter his attempts to escape.
