"Enough with the nonsense, prepare to die!"
Xiao Lingyu said indifferently, then raised his arm and threw the Phoenix Bow and the Ninth-Rank Phoenix Arrow with all his might.
Chirp!
A crimson phoenix phantom, carrying unparalleled pressure, rushed straight at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang brandished his sword to meet the attack.
Ding-dong!
After a crisp sound, the crimson phoenix phantom disappeared.
"this……"
Jiang Wang frowned, feeling surprised but even more puzzled.
Although Xiao Lingyu did not get close, Jiang Wang could clearly see his attack. Xiao Lingyu did not have the strength to fight him, so why did he dare to provoke him?
Jiang Wang knew that if he didn't get rid of Xiao Lingyu, he would have a hard time escaping, because the demonic spirits outside were not only terrifyingly numerous, but also extremely powerful.
Jiang Wang brandished his battle blade, slashing repeatedly in an attempt to force back the crimson phoenix phantom, but all his efforts were in vain.
"What a strange attack! It's clearly an ordinary attack, yet it possesses a power that makes me wary. Could it be some kind of special secret technique?"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, then without further hesitation, swung his sword and slashed fiercely at Xiao Lingyu.
Clang!
Another clanging sound of metal clashing rang out.
Holding the ninth-grade phoenix bow, Xiao Lingyu blocked Jiang Wang's fierce slash, but he used the rebound force to fly away quickly.
Jiang Wang is indeed powerful, but Xiao Lingyu's cultivation level is too weak, and he is not good at direct combat.
If it were an ordinary mid-stage Demon King realm expert, or even a late-stage Demon King realm expert, it would be absolutely impossible for them to use a ninth-grade Phoenix Bow to directly confront a Celestial Emperor expert when their physical strength and power were similar.
Xiao Lingyu only had the cultivation level of the early Nirvana stage, but his physical strength was incredibly high, which is why he was able to do this.
As Xiao Lingyu flew away, he took out a pill from his Qiankun bag and quickly put it into his mouth.
Just as Jiang Wang was about to continue his pursuit of Xiao Lingyu, he heard a series of noisy fighting sounds and roars coming from outside the cave.
"Oh no, it must be that old bastard Jiang Yunhe who's gone berserk!"
Jiang Wang exclaimed in surprise, then immediately leaped out of the cave and rushed towards the fighting area.
Although Jiang Wang was surrounded by demon spirits, they couldn't stop him at all, and he quickly broke out of the demon spirit horde.
When Jiang Wang arrived at the scene of the battle, he found that Jiang Yunhe was fighting against seven demon cultivators at the Demon Lord level, while Jiang Yunhe was being besieged by six Demon Lords.
"Father, how are you?"
Jiang Wang shouted immediately.
"Why did you take so long to arrive? I can't hold on much longer."
Jiang Yunhe responded with a wry smile, then added, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and kill those damned ghosts!"
Jiang Wang nodded, then swung his battle blade and charged towards the demonic spirits.
Jiang Wang is a mid-stage Demon King with extremely strong combat power. In addition, he possesses a high-level sacred artifact, making killing Demon Lords as easy as slaughtering dogs.
Under Jiang Wang's frenzied slaughter, all six demon lords were quickly killed, and he collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
"Haha, Dad, we won! I got those two jade pendants back!"
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Wang happily took out two jade tokens and handed them to Jiang Yunhe.
Jiang Yunhe looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his face immediately darkening. He sneered, "This jade pendant is clearly fake. If it were the real one, we would have been finished long ago. Don't tell me you don't recognize it."
"This...this is indeed fake. I didn't notice it before. This item was thrown to me by a Demon Emperor. He only gave me two pieces and told me to capture a Demon King-level Demon Dragon Lizard," Jiang Wang said nervously.
"Why would that Demon Emperor give you a fake jade token?" Jiang Yunhe asked, frowning.
“He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me. He also told me that if I didn’t do as he instructed, I would die a violent death!” Jiang Wang shook his head and said.
"Are you sure what he said is true? Why would he want to kill you?" Jiang Yunhe asked.
“He said… he wanted to devour my bloodline,” Jiang Wang said in a low voice.
"So that's how it is. Then why did you agree?" Jiang Yunhe asked, squinting his eyes.
"Because I'm not willing to die like this! I still have a long way to go!" Jiang Wang said through gritted teeth.
"Well, as long as you're alive, there's hope. I'll take you away from this hellhole first!"
As Jiang Yunhe spoke, he picked up Jiang Wang and rushed into the stone chamber.
The demonic spirits in the stone chamber did not attack Jiang Wang or Jiang Yunhe; they merely watched from the sidelines.
“These demonic spirits seem to be restricted by some kind of restriction, and can only survive in this mountain's interior space. Otherwise, they would have attacked us long ago,” Jiang Yunhe said after scanning the area.
"Father, where is that Demon Emperor you mentioned?" Jiang Wang suddenly asked.
"I don't know, but I estimate it's hidden inside the mountain. You should recover your cultivation first, and once you've recovered, you can take me away from here!" Jiang Yunhe shook his head and said.
Jiang Wang nodded and sat down cross-legged.
Jiang Wang's cultivation level did not drop to the mortal state. His injuries were very minor, and he could recover after a little rest.
After a short while, Jiang Wang opened his eyes, then took Jiang Yunhe and flew deep into the cave.
Deep within the cave, a strong, chilling aura emanated, growing colder the further one went in.
The deeper they went, the stronger the chilling aura became, and it was filled with a malevolent energy that made Xiao Lingyu feel a chill run down his spine.
After traveling about a hundred miles deep into the cave, Xiao Lingyu saw a dark and gloomy ice pool ahead.
Around the ice pool stood many hideous and grotesque monster statues.
The surface of the ice pool was shrouded in a pale blue glow, giving it a mysterious air.
"These are Xuanming Demon Crystals, which are very effective in improving my physical body. I need to use them to temper my body," Jiang Yunhe said.
Xiao Lingyu didn't ask any more questions and just followed behind Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang entered the ice pool. After immersing his body in the water, his body instantly became extremely stiff, as if he had turned into solid ice.
Xiao Lingyu was kept at bay by the powerful aura released by Jiang Wang and was unable to get close at all.
However, this was nothing to Xiao Lingyu, since he already had the protection of a demonic spirit, making him immune to the effects of heat and cold.
Jiang Wang's skin gradually turned from white to red, his muscles bulged, and his whole body was like a hot iron, steaming from his body.
However, with Jiang Yunhe's help, he quickly adapted to the cold and his body relaxed again.
The pile of magic crystals shattered into dust.
Jiang Wang stood up and then helped Jiang Yunhe to the shore.
"Father, what is the background of that guy just now? Did we provoke someone we shouldn't have?" Jiang Wang asked somewhat fearfully.
