Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 352 339: Those Who Harm Brother Pei Are Not Worthy of Living

"ROAR—!!"

The Dragon Corpse's roar echoed throughout the universe.

The hordes of Gargoyles, with their lowly bloodlines and Cultivation, couldn't withstand this primordial Suppression and exploded one after another.

Shi Ji hadn't expected the task assigned to her by the Northern Desert Demon Court to be so troublesome. A Dragon from myth and legend had actually been revived.

But this was the Great Desert, the place with the densest earth-elemental Spiritual Qi.

Here, Shi Ji feared no opponent!

[Summoning Spell: Mountain God's Descent]

As Shi Ji transformed into a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into the ground, the entire earth began to shake violently.

Standing atop the White Bone Boundary Stele Tower, Pei Yuhang watched the dust and sand on the ground tremble. He could sense a behemoth rising from the earth's ley lines toward the surface.

BOOM—

The Dragon Corpse, having just devoured two Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators, hadn't even had a moment to recover before a colossal hand half a kilometer wide burst from the sea of sand, instantly clenching the Dragon Corpse tightly in its palm.

At the same time, the Petrification Technique activated instantly. Crystallized stone began to spread rapidly across the Dragon Corpse's surface, seeking to turn this ancient being into a complete fossil.

But this Dragon Corpse, born of the Northern Desert, was clearly stronger than the one Pei Yuhang had encountered on Tree Sea Dragon Island.

Scorching Dragon Flame Fire erupted from every shriveled crevice of its body. The billowing Dragon Flame incinerated the stone restraints and even began to melt Shi Ji's giant hand, turning the solid rock into molten magma that rained down from the sky.

Watching the increasingly spectacular clash of Magic, Pei Yuhang knew his chance to escape had come.

He leaped from the White Bone Boundary Stele Tower, preparing to ride the wind with Sword Control and break through the sky.

But with Shi Ji merged into the earth, a radius of several kilometers was within her perception. There was no way Pei Yuhang's movements could escape her notice.

"Stop that little Fox Spirit for me—a handsome reward for whoever captures him alive! And be careful not to damage that Top Grade body of his!"

As Shi Ji's voice echoed from underground, Pei Yuhang instantly felt the gazes of no fewer than five Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators lock onto him.

'That Shi Ji can't even be sure she can subdue the Dragon Corpse, yet she's still thinking about me!' he cursed inwardly. 'The Demon Race is even more desperate and lecherous than the Human Race!'

Pei Yuhang immediately increased his Sword Control speed, leaving the several Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators behind him in the dust.

He had once told Yueqiu that among Cultivators of the same realm, his Sword Control speed was number one. This was no empty boast!

But at that moment, the ground ahead trembled violently, and countless towering stone stalagmites suddenly erupted from the earth, blocking Pei Yuhang's path.

The upper body of a beautiful woman emerged from the surface of a stalagmite, her eyes filled with disappointment as she looked at Pei Yuhang.

"Little Fox Spirit, Big Sister has been so gentle with you, yet you still want to run away. If you come back obediently now, I'll let it slide. But if you insist on having your way, then I'll have no choice but to play with you until you break..."

"Get lost!!"

Pei Yuhang's Silent Sword shot from its sheath. A tidal wave of silver Sword Qi, like a roaring tsunami, instantly annihilated the forest of stalagmites before him.

But this still delayed Pei Yuhang for two seconds, and those two seconds were all the five Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators needed to catch up from behind!

"Fox Spirit, how do you know the Human Race's Sword Dao?!"

A Black Crow Demon Cultivator demanded, shocked and enraged, as he felt the terrifying Sword Qi lingering in the air.

"Enough nonsense! Let's take him down first. We'll find out if this Fox Spirit is colluding with the Human Race after Lady Shi Ji has her fun interrogating him!"

With that, another, a Scorpion Spirit, was the first to attack.

He dropped his Transformation directly, revealing his true form as a hundred-meter-long giant scorpion. The green, venomous stinger on its tail, glinting coldly, descended from the sky, aiming to pin Pei Yuhang to the ground.

The other demons also revealed their true forms: a crimson giant wolf, a great white-phosphorus serpent, and a sky-blotting Black Raven.

What Sword Cultivators were worst at was fighting many opponents at once.

In a one-on-one fight, Pei Yuhang was confident he could finish off any one of these Demon Cultivators within three strikes.

But facing a coordinated pincer attack from five Divinity Transformation beasts, he felt the strain.

But the five Divinity Transformation demons were even more shocked. They couldn't believe that even in a five-on-one fight, they still hadn't captured a mere Fox Spirit—one of the lowliest of the Demon Race, fit only to be a plaything!

In fact, they were even being faintly suppressed, pushed into a disadvantage by the Fox Spirit's exquisite and powerful tide of Sword Qi!

If this continued, the moment one of them was killed or heavily wounded, their encirclement would break. With this Fox Spirit's level of Sword Dao, they would likely all be beheaded here!

"We have to use the Six Ghosts God-Sealing Array! This Grand Array was meant for a powerhouse among the Chosen, but to think we have to use it on a mere Fox Spirit like you!"

The five Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators stopped pressing Pei Yuhang. Instead, they retreated abruptly, each occupying one of the five trigram positions, and began to form the array using their heart's blood as a catalyst.

'This is bad!'

Pei Yuhang had a bad feeling and immediately used Sword Control to shoot up into the sky.

But the Grand Array formed even faster than he anticipated. In the blink of an eye, an Asura Ghost Aspect materialized in the void, blocking his path.

Pei Yuhang changed direction, preparing to break out from the flank.

But as he looked around, he found that every direction—up, down, left, right, front, and back—was blocked by a wall of the Asura Ghost Aspect.

"Close—!!"

The five Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators roared in unison, and the Asura Ghost Aspect walls suddenly closed in on Pei Yuhang, about to seal him within.

"Stay away from Brother Pei—!!"

A sharp rebuke, laced with a terrifying aura, came from the distance. The voice carried a bone-chilling cold, as if it had pierced through from the Nine Netherworld Hell.

Every Demon present felt their bodies turn cold, as if they were being squeezed by a pair of giant, invisible hands. Even breathing became difficult.

SWOOSH—

A Jade Fork shot through the air at a speed none of the demons could follow, instantly piercing through the Asura Ghost Aspect wall that was about to seal Pei Yuhang.

The Grand Array was broken so easily by a single Jade Fork, and the force of the backlash instantly swept over the battlefield.

All the Demon Cultivators felt a tightness in their chests, and then, with a SPURT, they all spat out a mouthful of blood in unison.

A thick, metallic scent of blood filled the air, but what terrified them even more was the newcomer's power!

Void Refining!

It was a Void Refining Great Cultivator!

"Retreat, now!!"

The Scorpion Spirit's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He let out a great roar, his voice trembling, having clearly realized the gravity of the situation.

'This little Fox Spirit has a Great Power protecting him!'

'Damn it, I should have known! For a Fox Spirit this handsome to be walking around so openly, he must be some Great Power's treasured possession!'

'Lady Shi Ji, you've doomed us all!'

Among all the demons present, the Black Crow's reactions were the fastest. The moment the Jade Fork appeared, he had already flapped his wings and flown a thousand meters away.

Just as he was secretly rejoicing in his escape, a stream of azure light descended from the sky, enveloping him in an instant with an aura of total annihilation.

The Black Crow Demon didn't even have time to let out a scream before the azure light vaporized him without a trace, as if he had never existed.

"My lord, spare me—"

This scene caused the remaining Demon Cultivators to break down completely. They fell to their knees, trembling as they pleaded to the sky.

But the only response they received was one merciless pillar of light after another.

As the pillars of light fell, the Demon Cultivators' bodies were instantly turned to ash, without the slightest chance to resist.

The gap between Void Refining and Divinity Transformation was, after all, the difference between the clouds and the mud.

In the sky, a graceful figure holding Pei Yuhang slowly materialized. She wore azure robes and had a cold, stern expression. As she looked at the ashes covering the ground, there wasn't the slightest ripple of emotion in her eyes.

'Anyone who hurt Brother Pei has no right to live.'
