Chapter 711 - 314: Gentlemen, Face Your Tribulation! (Part 2)
The last few words were spoken deliberately and assertively!Chu Xun’s face displayed astonishment. He clearly felt the weight in Xu Guang’s tone; it was not just idle talk!
"Thank you... Brother Xu!"
...
Meanwhile, in the core area of the eight-hundred-li demon land, within the majestic palace constructed from countless white bones.
Over ten figures emitting powerful Second Nirvana auras gathered here, each with distinct appearances but all exhibiting fox-like traits, precisely the other twelve Green Fox Demon Kings residing here.
The leading old fox had fur that had turned gray-white, but its aura was the most profound. It suddenly opened its eyes, a flash of shock and anger in them.
"Lao Jiu’s soul lamp... is extinguished!"
The hall erupted into chaos.
"How is this possible? Lao Jiu’s strength isn’t weak; who could kill it silently in this eight-hundred-li territory?"
"Is it a master of the Human Race? Or did other forces interfere?"
The old fox’s face darkened like storm clouds.
"No matter who it is, daring to kill a Demon King of my Green Fox Clan here is a provocation to the Eternal Ancestor! The ancestor’s Saint Realm is imminent; no accidents are allowed!"
It stood up, its eyes gleaming with menace.
"Send the order to activate the ’Ten Thousand Fox Bone-Eroding Array,’ sealing off the eight-hundred-li area, allowing entrance but forbidding exit! Dispatch all the youngsters to search for the murderer’s traces! If found, kill without mercy!"
"What about the ancestor..."
"The ancestor is at a crucial time and must not be disturbed. But if the situation spirals out of control, we shall awaken the ’Ancestor Statue’ and summon the Ancestor’s Power to eradicate all obstacles before the ancestor emerges!"
All the Demon Kings in the hall accepted the command in unison, as demon qi surged to the sky, instantly rendering the atmosphere in the demon land tense and murderous.
...
Xu Guang did not accompany Chu Xun; he did not trust him.
However, before their farewell, he did leave a message to help find evidence of Mu Yusheng colluding with demons.
Having learned some about Mu Yusheng, Xu Guang was more cautious of this old silver coin.
If the other party still makes excuses afterward, he might have to resort to force following diplomacy.
However, Wan Chuan State is, after all, Tianya Holy Land’s territory; Xu Guang did not want to take that step unless absolutely necessary.
...
One day later.
Xu Guang stood in a ravaged valley, a wisp of mysterious array power he had just intercepted swirling around his fingertips. That power was smoky and misty, carrying a space-folding sensation, instantly dissipating upon contact, making it extraordinarily elusive.
"Indeed, not simple," Xu Guang muttered to himself, furrowing his brow.
After slaying the three-eyed Green Fox, he could distinctly feel that everything here seemed to be targeting him.
The demons’ deployed array here was far stronger than he had imagined.
General Wei let out a low growl, its massive elephant feet uneasily scraping the ground as it too sensed the abnormal aura permeating the surrounding mountains and forests.
Xu Guang waved his hand, "No need to hurry, let’s play with them."
General Wei, being in the First Nirvana, had its bloodline divine techniques perfected, possessing mountain-moving power. The demons’ array here was all based on mountains and great rivers; if General Wei moved a mountain, the array would unravel.
But in doing so, some demons might escape.
Throughout the years, Xu Guang always believed in eradicating threats at their roots. If any demons escaped, there could be unforeseen risks in the future.
Xu Guang’s gaze swept across the dark depths of the jungle, where shadows flickered, seemingly countless eyes watching.
His mind raced, instantly formulating a strategy. Feign weakness, lure them out, and then use thunderous means to crush their foundation!
With the plan set, Xu Guang no longer lingered. He and General Wei transformed into two streams of light, deliberately leaking some aura, heading deeper into the demon land.
He did not deliberately conceal his movements; instead, occasionally striking down some low-level demons to create the illusion of struggling to advance and search for a target.
As expected, in less than half a day, three formidable demon qi rose abruptly among the hills resembling a crouching fox, forming a triangle trapping him and General Wei.
The newcomers were all Green Fox Clan Demon Kings, each at the Second Nirvana level.
The fox on the left was entirely crimson, with scorching flames coiling around its claws and teeth.
The fox on the right had silver-white fur, surrounded by severe cold, with ice crystals encircling.
The fox in the center was the largest in size, its fur a deep purple, with a golden vertical stripe between its brows pulsing, emitting waves that disturbed the heart spirit.
"Demon Hunter Xu Guang? How audacious, to dare intrude alone into my Ten Thousand Fox Ridge!" The deep purple fox king’s voice was shrill, dripping with deep-seated hatred.
Xu Guang’s face appeared "grave," as the Five Emperors’ Dharma Body’s phantom flickered behind him, the domain of the Five Elements unfolded, intentionally showing some sluggishness, as if resisting the omnipresent array suppression.
"You demons, occupying this land, harming the living, must be exterminated!"
"Such boasting! Prepare to die!"
The Red Fox King, most violent by nature, was the first to launch an attack, opening its mouth to spray a rain of ghostly blue flames across the sky, capable of burning blood marks, precisely one of their researched means against Demon Hunters.
Years ago, other Demon Hunters weren’t exempt from meddling and intruding into their territory.
Simultaneously, the Silver Fox King swung its claws, sending countless ice shards hurtling like arrows, the cold sealing all directions, restricting Xu Guang’s movement space.
Meanwhile, the Golden vertical stripe between the Purple Fox King’s brows flared, unleashing an intangible spiritual shock wave like ripples of water, directly assaulting Xu Guang’s sea of consciousness!
The three demons cooperated seamlessly, their offensive fierce, further invoking the surrounding mountain’s earth vein aura, bringing an invisible array field into being. This rendered Xu Guang’s surrounding space sticky, hindering movement, even noticeably slowing the rotation of the Five Elements domain.
