Chapter 22 Cutthroat Treasure Grabbing
Cutthroat Treasure Grabbing
Interesting, let’s bring you to see another excitement.”
Finishing her words, she appeared next to a dumbfounded Du Shaofu, grabbing Du Shaofu with one hand and floated out in a leisurely, not in the least concern about the rest of the forces rushing forwards.
Large tracts of the mountains were in devastation, bodies of two huge giant birds fell in the middles of the wreckage, motionless as if they are already dead, the huge bodies were like two huge mountains, exuding extreme hostility causing xuanqi within the body inhibited, even souls shivered.
One of the two giant birds, one the color of dazzling gold with sharp overbearing and an intimidating atmosphere is none other than a Golden-winged Garuda.
The other giant bird’s body is purple in its entirety, akin to a phoenix as flames surrounds it without seeming to dissipate, the horrifying scorching heat hinders anyone who wants to get close.
As Sky Serpent Sect, Blacknether Sect and Crane Spirit Daoist reaches the giant birds’ side, each one’s eyes were aflame with burning with greed as heartbeats accelerate, this is an absolute treasure, a blessing bestowed by the Heavens.
"Powerful demonic beasts’ body has an arcane-heritage bone, that bone is the paragon of treasure."
Almost the same time, Copper Snake Elder, Baldy Zhong and Crane Spirit Daoist pounced onto the two giant birds.
"With your meager strength yet dares to covet such a treasure, court death!”
A sharp admonition rang out, three red streamers pierced through the air with alarming power.
"Not good, there are strong experts."
Baldy Zhong, Copper Snake Elder and White-haired Oldman’s expression changed for the worse in mid-air, an overwhelming and dangerous atmosphere awash them with crushing pressure, the three of them did not dare to move recklessly. The rune-like pattern on Baldy Zhong’s bald shone brightly as if coming alive instantly condensed a vapory image of a large bell shielding him.
Copper Snake Elder’s movements were just as quick, flinging out the snake-head staff in his hand it warped into a hundred meters long boa hovering in front of him.
The White-haired Oldman means were more unique; making strange handseals, the air behind him surges releasing an amazing momentum, then a pair of snow-white crane-like wings appeared behind the Oldman embracing his body within.
"Chi la la la!"
Three bright streams of light collided in mid-air, the large bell shielding Baldy Zhong vibrated intensely, buzzing “weng weng” sounds of protest as cracks begin to appear. The huge hundred-meter shadow of a boa transformed from Copper Snake Elder’s snake-head staff was pierced through easily, and even the celestial crane’s wings protecting the White-haired Oldman whined miserably.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
Shockingly, three of the strongest persons around yet were unable to defend against one move, plunging down from mid-air hitting the ground heavily, each one vomiting blood and a horror-struck look on their faces. It had never crossed their minds they will be unable to endure even one move.
"Roar!"
"Aoao!"
"Moo!"
Almost precisely the same time, three amazing beast roar resounded through the forest, shadows of three behemoths of a beast shadow appeared in front of the crowd; an enormous black bear, its paws stout like a stone pillar dispersing a mighty air.
A humongous blood-colored tiger with watchful eyes, sharp claws reflected harsh cold glint and an odd beast only thirty meters in length, just like a small hill but with the roar of a thunder that affects xuanqi, making the blood churns violently.
The three behemoths advanced towards the group of people brought by the Sky Serpent Sect, Blacknether Sect, and the White-haired Oldman, those able to airfloat are known experts in the outside world, however, in front of these three behemoths, they are powerless.
"Ahhh…!”
Nightmarish screams reverberated through the dark forest, up to a dozen people were from Sky Serpent Sect, experts from the Blacknether Sect were wiped out in a blink of an eye by the behemoth beasts when finally three pairs of crimson eyes locked onto Baldy Zhong, Copper Snake Elder and the White-haired Oldman.
"All three are kings of a territory within Wild Beast Mountains, normally with the Demonic Phoenix’s deterrence these demonic beasts dares not act recklessly but now the Demonic Phoenix and the Golden-winged Garuda is dead they are planning to devour the bodies to evolve and increase their strength!”
The White-haired Oldman, Copper Snake Elder and Baldy Zhong are very clear what the demonic beasts desires, even at peak condition it’s difficult for them to contend with a king level demonic beast, not to mention now that the three of them are injured, there can only be one ending.
"Run, quickly run, the losses are too heavy, the treasure is not destined to be ours.”
Between a treasure and one’s life, naturally, one’s life is more important, if one’s life is already gone then no matter the treasure it will be of no use. The White-haired Oldman and the two, after all are not weak, without further delay all three of them shot up to the sky escaping at rapid speed.
"Hou~"
The three behemoths roared furiously and started pursuing the escaping trio relentlessly with fury, space fluctuated and nearby trees rip off the ground.
"Chi la la la!"
As the three Demonic Beast King disappeared, two silhouettes appeared in mid-air, an adult and a child; the old woman around fifties with a slight hunchback, her long hair with slivers of white combed into a high bun, with a prim looking face.
But the girl next to the old woman has an amazing temperament, dressed in tight-fitting green clothes, holding delicate bow and arrows, an exquisite face and tall figure, exuding a spiritual aura that one could not help but think of elves. "From the looks of things, amongst all the people here, you are the only one capable of competing with this Oldwoman, may I know your name?”
The Oldwoman looked on the other side, straightening her slightly bent body. There is no obvious breath of cultivation detected from this Oldwoman but she is capable of airfloat, but the sharpness in her voice is the same as the person who attacked the White-haired Oldman trio, which means she was the one who launched the attack.
"I arrived here unintentionally, in truth I just wanted to see the excitement. As for my name, it is not worth mentioning, however, it is unexpected by your side is a person from that Clan, could it be that you have some relation with that Clan?”
The white-clothed lady appeared in mid-air, calmly giving the girl a glance with her clear brown eyes, her gaze then shifted downwards onto the bodies of Demonic Purple Phoenix and the Golden-winged Garuda.
"It’s her."
Du Shaofu stood along in mid-air with the white-clothed lady. Surprise crossed his face when he spotted the elf-like girl beside the Oldwoman, she was the one who killed five Mountainbore Demon Hogs with her arrows, he didn’t expect to see her again here.
The girl, however, did not notice Du Shaofu as her attention was occupied two giant demonic beast bodies.
"Such terrifying demonic beasts’." Du Shaofu was stunned as he looked at the Golden-winged Garuda and Demonic Purple Phoenix, bodies comparable to mountains, spreading overwhelming atmosphere that made Du Shaofu almost fall from mid-air.
“The meaning of your words, this Oldwoman does not understand, but since you are here just to look at some excitement, then the Golden-winged Garuda and the Demonic Purple Phoenix’s arcane bone go to me, the essence of blood and other bones we divide evenly, what do you say?” The Oldwoman looked at the lady in front she could vaguely feel this woman is very strong, if possible she would avoid going against her otherwise, there is no such thing as “share” in her vocabulary.
Note:
Purpleflame firebird, Demonic Purple Phoenix, and Demonic Purpleflame Phoenix refers to the same being, it’s like peeling the layers of a shallot. Please, don’t be confused.
