Chapter 20: The Majesty of the King

  Ling Wushuang and Ji Yunyang seemed to have not heard, rushed into the crowd in a few steps, then, those two who said they wanted to help, under everyone's stunned gaze, actually didn't stop for half a step, their figures rapidly jumping and flashing by, bursting out from behind the crowd!

  Some people still didn't understand their intentions, and were suddenly bewildered. However, seeing the beasts retreat around them, they couldn't help but feel overjoyed, after all, they had managed to escape with their lives. But what were these two running for? Nangong Xue was also full of doubts, unaware that disaster was looming ahead, his disheveled face looked up, gazing at the backs of the two people in confusion.

  "Boom——"

  A loud crash, accompanied by flying debris, like a flood, suddenly arrived, the giant snake's head smashed through the obstructing trees, like a fierce bull, several meters long crimson snake body, passing by, huge rocks flew!

  "Ah——"

  Nangong Xue's hair was disheveled, and she let out a blood-curdling scream that almost made her faint. The giant snake's triangular pupils glowed brightly, as if venomous snakes were coiled around it. Suddenly, it tightly locked onto Nangong Xue, its silver horns gleaming like daggers as it charged towards the stunned crowd.

  "Run!"

  Nan Gong Ye was the first to react, he quickly picked up Nan Gong Xue and turned around to run, with the two grey-robed elders closely following behind.

  "Heaven is the Nine-Stage Earth Poisonous Dragon"

  A dozen or so people, finally came back to their senses, frightened pale, and frantically rushed out with a mournful cry.

  Silk

  The snake tail swung out horizontally, Nan Gong Ye's body hugged the big tree trunk, and the speed of the poisonous dragon was so fast that Nan Gong Ye and his party had uneven strength, plus Nan Gong Xue who was dragging her feet behind. In the blink of an eye, they were caught up by the poisonous dragon. The scarlet snake letter stained with toxic liquid brushed against Nan Gong Xue's face, causing her to scream repeatedly.

  "Boom——"

  Two old men in grey robes simultaneously took action, deep yellow mysterious energy, fiercely smashing the snake's body, and actually blasting it several feet away. The snake's body contracted, twisted and swung out, again crushing a large area of forest, without any hesitation. Nan Gong Yan's feet moved rapidly as he stared at the two people fleeing in front of him, his face darkening to an alarming degree, rushing forward with urgency.

  Ling Wushuang and the person running in front of them had no more worries, they were faster than rabbits, quickly pulling away.

  "Two seniors, indeed have profound skills, Ling Wusuo admires and admires!" Ling Wusuo surprisingly still had time to turn his head around, smiled with a harmless face, slowly opened his mouth, then, took a step forward with his foot, and continued advancing without looking back.

  Nangong Xue was so frightened that her face lost its beauty, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and shouted: "You're shameless! Despicable!"

  Ji Yunyang rubbed his nose, chuckled twice, and completely ignored him, continuing to run wildly. In his heart, he thought that in the future, no matter who he offended, he must not offend Wú Shuāng, this little girl was too ruthless, and killing someone would be worth it.

  Two grey-robed elders were also gritting their teeth in anger, feeling so stifled they wanted to vomit blood. However, Ji Yunyang and the other person were ahead, without any regard for others, and were even faster than a mud eel, leaving the group far behind.

  Silk

  The venomous dragon slowly raised its head, shook it, spat out snake letters, and moved extremely slowly. However, its eyes were like blood-red toxic liquid flowing around, scarlet all over, looking like it had been thoroughly enraged. Its bloody big mouth opened wide, letting out a sharp and strange cry. The snake's body curved and twisted, rolling in wildly.

  "Ah——help——"

  In the blink of an eye, the person who had fallen behind let out a blood-curdling scream as he fell into the snake's mouth. Nan Gong Ye barely dodged in time, but was still grazed by the silver horn and violently crashed into the tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Nan Gong Xue he was holding onto also let out a blood-curdling scream as she rolled to the ground, her whole body trembling with fear.

  "Let's work together"

  Seeing this situation, it's impossible to escape. The two old men in grey robes had no choice but to take action, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching the giant snake in between. Deep yellow mysterious energy burst out, transforming into sharp blades that hacked down!

  "Attack it between the twin horns on its head, that's where it is most vulnerable."

  A group of people fought back desperately, coughing up blood from the corners of their mouths. However, the Earth Poison Dragon had almost reached the realm of the Sacred Beast, its body was like steel and iron bones, and the sharp sword blades striking its body were like scratching an itch, only provoking it to become even more frenzied. Without the aid of divine weapons, the two of them, even if they were high-ranking Tian Xuan cultivators, suddenly felt powerless.

  Suddenly, the poisonous dragon's skull contracted, and it hissed out a snake letter, as if it had sensed something. Its eyes showed a hint of humanized fear, its huge tail swung back and forth, and its body twisted, turning its head to dive into the depths of the thicket. In the stunned gaze of the crowd, it vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

  "Could it be that he's really gone?" Hearing no movement behind him, Ling Wu Shuang's figure halted, grasping the branch beside him, turning around to look back with some doubt.

  "It's impossible, what's going on?" Ji Yunyang also stopped, even if another wave of people came, they wouldn't be a match for the Earth Poisonous Dragon, which was an existence close to the Sacred Realm, equivalent to their titled Saint's strength.

  Nangong Ye and others were even more puzzled, why did this poisonous dragon seem like... it was fleeing in a sorry state?

  Rumble...

  Suddenly, the ground shook violently, a deafening roar thundered through the air, an invisible force pressed down, as if it were tangible. Everyone's figure wavered, and for a moment, the flow of air seemed to slow down, making it hard to breathe.

  "Boom——"

  Another deafening crash, a cyan aura like lightning descended, rumbling and arriving, smashing out a giant pit several meters wide, with grass and trees flying upside down, affecting the people standing around, their figures unstable and flying out, even two old men in gray robes had blood rushing up, quickly dodging and avoiding, but also spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "There is an extremely skilled fighter in the battle" Ji Yun's face sank, looking very unwell, but also extremely excited, his heart racing, his fists clenched tightly, muttering to himself: "Blue Mystic Qi, that's right, it's Blue Mystic Qi!"

  No wonder the ferocious and venomous dragon, also evaded hastily. The cyan mysterious energy, the pinnacle of a divine being! That was a legendary existence, his lifelong pursuit. The profound foundation of the Holy Temple, the title of Saint, he had seen many, but the legendary pinnacle of a divine being, he had never seen before, how could he not be excited!

  Ling Wushuang suddenly became vigilant, flipped over and got down from the tree, his eyes rapidly scanning the surroundings.

  "Lou Junyan, it's really heaven helping me, with his life on the line"

  In the air, a burst of maniacal laughter, riding the wind to arrive, followed by a black shadow, as fast as lightning flashing, thud landed on the ground, people have not yet seen clearly, black light flashed, that person's back grew black double wings, lightly shook, black light halo fluttered, in the blink of an eye leaped into high altitude, like a proud king, standing on air, clear moon hanging high, became a foil.

  Two old men in grey robes, withered lips slightly open, eyes staring intensely at the figure in the sky, heart racing violently, face flushed red as if possessed, hands trembling, muttering: "The power of the blue sky, the mysterious energy transforms into wings, soaring through the air, the pinnacle of divine beings, the pinnacle of divine beings!"

  Never thought that in his lifetime, he would actually see the legendary existence. To die without regret, to die without regret.

  In the night sky, a man stood with his feet empty, a black cloak hanging from his head to his toes, wrapping his slender body. The hem of his robe fluttered without wind, and his face was unclear. Under the faint moonlight, one could vaguely see that his thin lips were crimson, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in the curve of his mouth. A strand of hair escaped from his cloak and fell on his chest, with a subtle reddish tint.

  With a black pair of wings sprouting from his back, spreading wide enough to cover several meters, the moon shone like a jade plate, its gentle light casting a shallow glow. Standing in mid-air, he seemed like a dark night assassination god!

  Darkness, crimson red, simple to the extreme of sharpness.

  Only this one figure, the world loses its color, the sun and moon mountains and rivers, can't take away half a hint of elegance!

  Ling Wushuang's shallow pupils contracted, and his gaze suddenly tightened. The man in the moonlit sky seemed to have noticed something, slowly lowering his head. In the dark cloak, his eyes were like an eagle's, piercing through the dense forest, accurately locking onto Ling Wushuang with a sharp, bone-piercing gaze. Ling Wushuang felt a chill run down his spine as their four eyes met, and he seemed to be trapped in an endless black void, standing at the edge of a deep precipice. His entire body was on high alert, sensing extreme danger from this man!

  "Hahaha, Lou Junyan, a heaven-sent opportunity! Today, I will make you fall here and pave the way for my return to the city. A great achievement, a great achievement!"

  In the distance, accompanied by maniacal laughter, several figures traversed the ancient trees that pierced the sky, climbing to the tips of the vines and following closely behind.
