177: Chapter 177

"Do you think you can fight against the Immortal Realm just because you obtained two useless books from the Demon Emperors Tomb? You truly don't know the meaning of death."

Shadow chimed in, "That's right. In the past, we feared the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan only because you had the Immortal Realm backing you up."

"Now that you've lost such a powerful backer, and yet you still dare to walk right into a trap by entering Dragon City, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"That idiot Gui Jianchou thought that by getting involved with the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan, the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor wouldn't dare touch him. In the end, didn't he still end up a prisoner?"

"Perhaps, at this very moment, he's already been torn to pieces."

The two of them flipped the table simultaneously, their poses looking remarkably like Brother Crow.

Chapter 234: This Guy Is Quite Loyal

Ice Demon brought over a dozen Demon Race experts, the weakest of whom were Level 7 Devil Kings.

Shadow was not to be outdone. He had always been a hidden expert of the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor, specifically used to guard against Gui Jianchou, and this time he had also brought along many Ghost Race experts.

They wanted to capture Tian Kui and hold her hostage to force the Heavenly Demon Emperor to bring out treasures for the exchange.

The Heavenly Demon Fox Clan had lost the protection of the Immortal Realm. These two clans had been suppressed for a long time and had suffered many losses at the hands of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan; this time, they were surely looking to settle old scores and exact revenge.

The Dragon Emperor's goal was also very clear: capture Xiao Bai and Feng Yun, and hand them over to Dreamscape Mountain for disposal.

The refined Demon Emperors Blood Essence would belong to the Dragon Emperor, helping him achieve a Breakthrough to a Level 2 Demon Emperor.

In the future, he would have a slightly better chance of winning against the Demonic Lord and the Ghost Emperor; this was the reason why he was cooperating with Dreamscape Mountain.

"Saintess, those from the Demon Race and Ghost Race are charging over. What should we do?"

Xiao Bai took out the golden bowl to use as cover, but was stopped by Tian Kui: "Don't do anything unnecessary; the golden bowl cannot withstand the attacks of Ice Demon and Shadow, these two Quasi-Emperor Realm Experts."

"And there is also the Dragon Emperor, a true Emperor Realm Expert, eyeing us like a tiger."

Now that the situation had reached its most critical moment, Tian Kui took out 720 silver needles and sealed all of Bai Su's Meridians.

The poison of the Nine-Turn Soul-Confusing Pill was temporarily suppressed by the silver needles and could not continue to spread.

Tian Kui took out a small jade bottle and stored Bai Su inside it; she wouldn't be able to spare any energy to protect her once the fighting started.

"Bai Su is under control, let's fight our way out together."

"Good, we can fight side-by-side again."

"Where is Yuner?"

Tian Kui pointed to a large hole in the ceiling of the main hall: "She went to pursue the mastermind. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Cultivator from Dreamscape Mountain."

"Yuner now possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Sword, so handling it shouldn't be a problem."

Xiao Bai took out the golden bowl and projected a beam of golden light, instantly killing two Level 7 Devil Kings and three Level 6 Ghost Kings.

"Grand Elder, save us!"

Ice Demon transformed into a giant ice dragon, directly ripping the roof off the main hall. He roared continuously at the golden bowl, spraying a large amount of frost that quickly froze the golden bowl.

The golden light could not pierce through the solid ice, and it lost its combat effectiveness in an instant.

"Shadow, you go deal with the Saintess. Leave this snake demon to me."

"I heard he even dealt with the White Bone Ghost Mother; I'd like to see what kind of skills he has."

Shadow laughed: "No problem, be careful! That snake demon is very cunning."

Tian Kui forcibly swallowed a Spirit Coin to quickly recover her consumed energy, preparing to fight Shadow in her best condition.

Their Cultivation levels were similar, and Tian Kui was also a Quasi-Emperor Realm Expert; tearing through space was merely something she achieved by borrowing a special secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan.

Shadow licked his lips: "Why does the Saintess like wearing black clothes so much? For so many years, no one has ever seen your true face."

"Today, I will strip all the clothes off your body."

"Arrogant. We'll see if you have the ability to do that."

Eight fox demons were locked in a fight with the other Ghost Kings. Shadow used a bizarre and unpredictable Cultivation Technique to constantly sway, attempting to use this method to break down Tian Kui's psychological defenses.

This was a psychological tactic that the Ghost Race was quite skilled at; they always liked to confuse their opponents before every fight.

Ao Wushuang stood beside the Dragon Emperor, rubbing his hands together.

"Father, should we go over and help?"

"No need. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let them fight."

"Tell all the guards to retreat so they don't get caught in the crossfire, and evacuate all the Dragon Clan members in the vicinity."

"Yes... I will do it immediately, Father."

To allow the Dragon Clan to escape more easily, the Dragon Emperor lifted various restrictions in Dragon City.

The original plan intended to target Xiao Bai and Feng Yun, but it had been broken by Tian Kui, and instead, it was the Dragon Clan that suffered deeply.

Three large golden round tables were blasted over to the Dragon Emperor's side by the shockwaves of the battle, instantly turning into gold dust.

With the Dragon Emperor's Cultivation, nothing could get close to him, so he was not in a hurry to make a move.

He wanted to see if Xiao Bai and Tian Kui still had any other trump cards; one must know oneself and the enemy to win every battle.

Furthermore, he hoped that Ice Demon and Xiao Bai would fight until both were injured, cutting off an arm of the Flame Demon Ruler, which would weaken the power of the Demon Race.

On the other side, Ao Wuming was stuck with his neck tightly held. He heard the fierce fighting outside and really wanted to go out and help, but he couldn't move.

This kind of Dragon-Capturing Lock was specifically designed for the Dragon Clan. Once caught, it was very difficult to break free. Ao Wuming was stuck straight against the wall.

"Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you blind? Your Second Brother here has his neck stuck. Do you have any way to help me open this lock?"

"If I help you open it, you have to take me out to play."

Ao Wuming replied impatiently: "Fine. You really are a businesswoman; even at a time like this, you don't forget to haggle."

"I'm your own brother; what good would it do you if I died? Do I even have anything you could inherit?"

Ao Xue picked up a dagger and hammered at it desperately. Seeing it had no effect, she simply picked up a gold brick and smashed it.

"Second Brother, bear with it! I'll be able to open it soon."

"What are you doing? Don't smash my head open!"

Ao Xue patted her chest confidently: "Don't worry, I'm very steady."

"Clang! Clang!"

Several violent smashes not only failed to open the lock, but instead tightened it further.

Ao Wuming's neck turned red from the constriction, and he coughed several times, almost unable to catch his breath.

"Xiao Xue, among all our siblings, we have the best relationship, right? Why are you trying to kill me?"

"Sorry, I really can't do it. How about I use my teeth to bite it?"

Ao Xue bit down hard, almost breaking her teeth.

"Second Brother, you're on your own. I'm leaving first."

"Hey... come back! It's boring as hell here by myself; at least stay and chat to relieve the boredom."

Suddenly, Ao Xue had a flash of inspiration and asked: "Didn't you go grave-robbing before and get some broken spear? Why don't you take it out and use it? Maybe that can open it."

Ao Wuming rolled his eyes: "What do you mean grave-robbing? That was treasure hunting. And besides, that is the Dragon Abyss Spear."

The casual chat made Ao Wuming think this method might be viable.

He pulled with both hands, and the Dragon Abyss Spear immediately appeared. He stabbed the tip of the spear fiercely at the Dragon-Capturing Lock a few times, and sure it was poked open.

The whole operation was quite smooth and didn't take much effort.

"Wow, Second Brother, you're amazing!" The two siblings hugged each other excitedly.

At this moment, the main hall was in complete chaos, with Xiao Bai and Ice Demon battling in the air.

Tian Kui and Shadow were still entangled in a fight inside the main hall. Ao Wuming was furious: "Bastard, you dare to bully the Saintess? I'll kill you."

"Twin Dragons Go to Sea!"

Ao Wuming whipped out two golden dragons to attack Shadow, but Ao Wushuang jumped over and grabbed the dragon heads.

"Second Brother, don't get involved blindly. If you attack, it means the Dragon Clan is declaring war directly on the Demon and Ghost races."

"Father told us to remain neutral and act according to the situation."

"Get lost. What kind of bullshit logic is that? I'm not only representing myself; this has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan."

"The Saintess has been kind to me. Now that she is in trouble, how can I stand idly by?"

Ao Wuming gritted his teeth: "If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up too."

Chapter 235: Battle with Ice Demon

With Ao Wuming's short temper, if he really got angry, he wouldn't care who the other person was.

He didn't even care about the Crown Prince who had suppressed him since childhood. Eventually, under the instruction of the Dragon Emperor, Ao Wushuang did not continue to pester him and let Ao Wuming leave.

Seeing Ao Wuming come to support, Tian Kui immediately shouted: "You are not needed here, go help Xiao Bai quickly."

"His Cultivation has quite a gap compared to Ice Demon; he won't be able to hold out for long."

"Alright, Saintess, be careful!"

Just at this moment, a blob of black liquid suddenly appeared in front of Tian Kui.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Gui Jianchou decisively appeared, which not only surprised Tian Kui but also made Shadow exclaim in disbelief.

"How is this possible? Weren't you executed by the Ghost Emperor?"

Gui Jianchou pointed to the Flying Shadow Armor he was wearing: "The treasure the Saintess gave me saved my life. Today, let's settle both old and new scores."

Shadow cursed: "You traitorous dog! The Ghost Emperor treated you well; why choose to betray him?"

"You really are a two-faced rebel; you were originally a traitor to the Demon Race."

Gui Jianchou said softly to Tian Kui: "On my way here just now, I discovered that the Queen was pursuing a person in black. I fear she might be in danger; please, Saintess, go and assist her."
