Chapter 2462 The Heavenly Demon Strikes
The arm guard immediately recessed a small space, perfectly fitting the sapphire gemstone. The Clang Dragon Armor has this function, allowing for the insertion of magical artifacts at any time.
“Tit for tat.” He leaped back, landing on Mother Earth’s shoulder, and stuffed something into her ear. “This is a statue from my secret realm. It will keep us connected no matter where you are.”
Mother Earth remained silent.
"The reason Shangguan Biao released the Heavenly Demon into the Void is because he saw that you were wavering. He wants to kill me as soon as possible and cut off your only way out." Before the next fierce battle began, He Lingchuan patted its head and quickly began to persuade it, "Remember, you can end all of this at any time, as long as you say three words to me: 'I am willing!'"
Shangguan Biao chuckled.
He Lingchuan tried stuffing anything into the Earth Mother's ear, but it was no use. He washed it off with the water from the Thunder Pool in no time!
What other things from other secret realms could withstand the power of the Tianyuan Thunder Pool?
The giant Qi beasts moved toward the Thunder Pool at a seemingly slow pace, but every time someone blinked, they would suddenly appear to get closer.
After blinking three or four times, they will be almost at the edge of the Thunder Pool.
Even more strangely, their size was also shrinking rapidly. The largest one, the Longjiang Qi Beast, which was originally larger than the snail toad, was only a little over ten feet tall when it got next to Shangguan Biao.
At the same time, their forepaws leave the ground, and the joints of their animalistic knees rotate, so their backs straighten more and more until they can walk upright.
In just a dozen or so breaths, they transformed from "monsters" into "humanoids".
This dramatic change in form made He Lingchuan's heart sink. The Earth Mother added, "I sense something ominous about them. They... are very strong!"
There are very few creatures that Mother Earth would acknowledge as "very strong".
He Lingchuan remained silent, because a necklace suddenly appeared around the neck of the largest beast, Longjiang, gleaming with gold.
The Divine Bone Necklace wasn't on He Lingchuan at the moment, but his gaze was immediately drawn to it because he instinctively knew that this thing was no ordinary object.
This pendant is about the size of a goose egg and has a very unique design. It consists of a large triangle inside a medium triangle, a medium triangle inside a small triangle, a small triangle inside an even smaller triangle, and so on, endlessly.
Meanwhile, these triangles are also slowly rotating.
He Lingchuan's gaze fell on the necklace, and it seemed somewhat familiar.
At the same time, he paid special attention to the eyes of these monsters.
He had dealt with such giant Qi beasts before in the Ruins of the Heavenly Palace. Although they were powerful, they were also bloodthirsty and insane. The Qi beasts that Xi Yu released earlier also fought with a desperate, reckless style, devoid of any rationality.
But the eyes of these beasts, well, how should I put it, were not only piercingly bright.
Only intelligent, powerful, and living beings possess such a majestic and disdainful gaze.
He Lingchuan had a premonition that even one of them would be difficult to deal with, let alone four at once.
Moreover, why would Shangguan Biao only release the Qi Beasts into the Void? Where are the gods who should be controlling them?
He Lingchuan frowned and suddenly said to the Blood Demon, "Did you see the necklace around the neck of the largest Qi Beast?"
"Saw."
"Keep a close eye on this necklace for me." The Soul-Capturing Mirror isn't here; otherwise, this would be the mirror's job.
The Longjiang Qi beast only glanced at the Earth Mother twice at the very beginning, and then kept its gaze on He Lingchuan, as if it were assessing something.
In reality, there was also communication within the Heavenly Demon realm.
Xi Yu exclaimed in surprise: "Another Earth Mother!"
No one could ignore the big guy sitting in the Thunder Pool.
Its appearance was so unique that all the demons knew exactly who it was at a glance.
The demons immediately understood that this was probably the true Mother Earth!
Xi Yu chuckled: "The one who brought us in was indeed a fake."
The violent turmoil and displacement that had occurred in Yujing City earlier were very unusual; they could sense that it was as if two invisible and powerful forces were fighting each other.
Oh ho, so it's a debate about the real and fake Mother Earth.
"You've arrived." Shangguan Biao, standing on the shore of Thunder Pool, turned to look at them and said coldly, "I, Shangguan Biao, built Jade Capital City with my own hands, and it remains under my control to this day. So what if it's the real Earth Mother? Wasn't she suppressed by me? Kill Jiuyou, and we'll have accomplished our mission."
Xi Yu then asked, "Is this Earth Mother also our target?"
Jia Loutian's deep voice came from ahead: "The primary target is Jiu You. Focus on taking him down!"
understood.
When the two were only five zhang apart, a green-haired beast behind it spread its arms, and a golden triangle floated up in front of it. The green-haired beast raised the triangle to its eyes, facing He Lingchuan directly.
He Lingchuan suddenly felt the air around him become suffocating and immediately moved away.
The green-haired monster also moved the triangle, always trying to align itself with him.
But in the next instant, He Lingchuan disappeared from the spot.
The green-haired beast immediately sensed danger and scurried to its companions. Sure enough, He Lingchuan appeared like a ghost from behind it the next instant, thrusting his spear into the back of its head.
He didn't believe this thing could transfer the damage to Mother Earth like Shangguan Biao.
The green-haired beast's companion was prepared; with a swift movement, it swung its twin blades at his upper body. These two large blades, each four feet long, were attached directly to its forelimbs. One blade was thin and sharp, while the other was a thick-backed, heavy blade with serrations.
Just as He Lingchuan dodged the sweeping heavy blade, the opponent's next attack was a light thrust with a thin blade, which flashed out of sight in a blur.
One is thick and the other is thin, one is slow and the other is fast, with completely different rhythms, but it can be switched and connected freely, making it particularly difficult for the opponent to deal with.
He Lingchuan didn't want to dodge either. He grabbed a large shield and blocked two of his opponent's blows.
This bronze shield was a tribute from a neighboring small country. It was made from the main spine of an ancient demon's bronze bones, and the beast head on the shield even came to life, biting the thin blade.
If the enemy's weapon is thin, it will bite it in half on the spot, hence the name "Copper Bone Broken Blade".
The twin-bladed beast's blades didn't break, but He Lingchuan pulled it off course—the two were twice the size of each other, but He Lingchuan was stronger, and he was about to yank it off course.
Others can release the hilt of the knife, but this knife is attached to its forelimb and cannot be released.
He Lingchuan pulled his shield back and thrust his spear forward, pulling it towards the spear tip.
However, at this moment, Longjiang Qishou turned around and slammed his fist into the shield.
It hadn't been brewing for long, and the punch wasn't particularly fast, but He Lingchuan felt a tremendous force pierce through his shield, about to suddenly rush into his meridians.
Without a second thought, he used the momentum to retreat ten feet.
To outsiders, the Nine Nether Emperor was like a kite blown away by a strong wind. When he landed, he made a loud bang, leaving a crater five zhang in diameter and four chi deep in the incredibly hard ground of Thunder Heaven Plain!
