Chapter 224 - 170: Human Race Experts Arrive as Reinforcements, The Horn of Counterattack, The Great War Begins
Lu Mingyuan looked at Sui Yuqing before him and was slightly taken aback.
’Your Excellency?’
This made him realize that in his current state, even Sui Yuqing hadn’t recognized him at first glance.
In fact, this was quite normal.
From Sui Yuqing’s perspective, this person wore a Fiery Demon Fang Mask, and his aura was no less than the Tenth Realm.
It was truly difficult to connect him with the dissolute and unruly Prince Huai’an.
Sui Yuqing had fought a great battle with the Demon Race’s Dragon Monarch. Although she had the upper hand, he ultimately managed to escape.
On her way here, she had been wondering if all the prodigies in the ancient city had been wiped out.
Now, it seemed that with this Human Race expert present, they should be safe.
She didn’t think the man before her was a prodigy of the Human Race, but rather an Immortal Family expert from the Three Religions.
BOOM!
The sky above Yingsha Ancient City was shrouded by a layer of demonic clouds, within which four crimson stars seemed to flicker. It was an exceptionally demonic sight; each star was a terrifying existence.
"To think that not even the Dragon Monarch was a match for you."
A tall man with antlers sprouting from his head stood within the black demonic clouds in the sky. Brilliant golden light burst from his cross-shaped pupils, and a sinister yellow mist surrounded his body.
His words were clearly directed at Sui Yuqing.
The Demon Race watched these Human Race experts the closest. At the slightest sign of movement, they would move to intercept.
They would often select combatants of appropriate strength to face corresponding experts.
It seemed the Demon Race had previously underestimated Fairy Ci Hang’s combat strength, which allowed her to break free ahead of schedule and arrive at Yingsha Ancient City.
Sui Yuqing looked toward the void, staring warily at the four stars in the sky, and said, "You must be the Kongtong Deer Monarch. Since this is an encirclement, why bother hiding? You might as well all show yourselves."
The Kongtong Deer Monarch sneered, "Hmph! Such arrogance. To deal with you, who has less than a tenth of your strength left, I alone am more than enough!"
He believed that after her battle with the Dragon Monarch, Sui Yuqing’s strength was greatly diminished. She must have become extremely weak and was surely no match for him now.
Two beams of cyan light instantly shot out from the pair of antlers on his head, rushing straight into the clouds. High in the sky, a hundred zhang up, they condensed into a patch of cyan clouds.
The cyan clouds appeared in layers, completely covering the sky above Sui Yuqing and Lu Mingyuan, as if layers of cyan silk were obscuring heaven and earth.
The beams of light erupting from the antlers contained a sacred light substance. It was an innate Divine Technique, much like a peacock’s five-colored tail display, capable of resonating with the Heaven and Earth Rules of a Little World.
Seeing this, the various Cultivators and Demon Kings immediately retreated. They knew the Kongtong Deer Monarch was about to unleash an extremely powerful Divine Technique. Getting too close would be a fatal threat to friend and foe alike.
As they retreated, Sui Yuqing and Lu Mingyuan also fell back quickly, moving out from under the area covered by the clouds.
"Light of the Celestial Opening Sacred Ruins!" the Kongtong Deer Monarch roared.
The cyan clouds above spun rapidly, forming a vortex that emanated a terrifying aura. It seemed intent on killing both Lu Mingyuan, the rising prodigy, and Sui Yuqing, the newly arrived Human Race expert, in one fell swoop.
A gale raged for hundreds of li around. Wisps of cyan cloud-qi pressed down from the sky all the way to the ground, emitting a "WOO WOO WOO" sound.
From the center of the vortex, a pillar of cyan light shot out, striking toward the ground.
The power fluctuations emanating from the cyan pillar of light were comparable to a small nuclear bomb. If it hit the ground, it would be enough to raze a city protected by a City Defense Array.
A City Defense Array of a State-County Level city would be completely unable to block such terrifying power.
Nine-Turned Purple Star Thunder Array.
Sui Yuqing waved her snow-white duster. Instantly, its countless hairs transformed into white Array Banners that landed in a hundred-meter radius, enveloping her and Lu Mingyuan.
This scene was an eye-opener for Lu Mingyuan.
’Her duster can not only transform into Flying Swords, but also into Array Banners. It truly is a rare Magical Treasure.’
A phantom image of the Purple Star Thunder Cloud Array immediately appeared on the ground, where an ancient Eight Trigrams Mark lay.
At this moment, the Eight Trigrams Mark spun rapidly, and from it also surged hundreds of bolts of purple Thunder. They converged, forming a deep blue pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
BOOM!
The two pillars of light collided.
The two immense forces canceled each other out, forming a shockwave of cyan energy a hundred meters above the ground that billowed outward.
"She actually managed to block the Kongtong Demon Monarch’s Light of the Celestial Opening Sacred Ruins. This woman from the Human Race is no simple character."
Within the demonic clouds, amidst a somber starlight, stood a tall, slender man in a large robe. His aura was restrained. He had three eyes, the Demon Eye on his forehead exceptionally brilliant, with specks of light twinkling around his body.
A smile filled his face, but based on his appearance alone, it was impossible to tell what kind of Demon he had transformed from.
The Light of the Celestial Opening Sacred Ruins was one of the Innate Inheritance Divine Techniques of the Kongtong Deer Monarch’s lineage. It was a Divine Technique imprinted in their racial bloodline. Upon reaching a certain Realm of Cultivation, it would awaken and manifest in their minds.
This Divine Technique was immensely powerful; an ordinary Twelfth Realm Qi Cultivator could hardly withstand it. For this woman of the Human Race to fight the Dragon Monarch and then immediately face the Deer Monarch while still being able to unleash such power showed just how deep her foundation was.
"If I recall correctly, this woman of the Human Race should be named Sui Yuqing, a disciple of the Dao Alliance’s Qingfeng Daojun. The Kongtong Deer Monarch won’t be able to take her down anytime soon. Let’s all attack together and kill them both, lest more complications arise," the three-eyed man said.
The three Demon Monarchs at his side nodded. Each one spat out a mouthful of Demon Qi, infusing it into their Lifebound Ancestral Artifacts, preparing to end the battle as quickly as possible.
This battle should have been over long ago.
