Chapter 149: Monster Hunter Time

The massive true form of Di Huang Cang stood firmly on the ground with its four legs, and it suddenly roared towards the sky, shaking the earth and mountains.

Accompanied by Di Huang Cang’s roar, the rolling heat waves of the demonic fire surrounding it slapped against Meng Yingxing’s face, instantly covering his blood-streaked face with beads of sweat.

Looking at Di Huang Cang, brimming with demonic energy, Meng Yingxing, who was seeing such a Demon Clan member for the first time, felt a slight palpitation in his heart.

Chi Zhanyue’s appearance in this form was far more intimidating than his human form. It was like an unarmed person standing before a wild beast; the most primal fear from the body would constantly arise in the heart.

But as soon as Meng Yingxing saw Xiu Qingcheng pointing her sword diagonally in front of him, the anxiety in his heart vanished without a trace.

No matter when he saw Xiu Qingcheng’s graceful figure, Meng Yingxing could feel a complete sense of security.

He had many life-saving magical tools on him that Xiu Qingcheng had previously extorted from Nan Feixue. In reality, Xiu Qingcheng could have just let him take a few more hits from Chi Zhanyue.

But his master still jumped out without hesitation to protect him, facing Chi Zhanyue head-on.

Such a master was far more useful than any life-saving magical tool.

More importantly, he was in his master’s heart.

Xiu Qingcheng wielded the Ting Tian Sword in her hand deftly, spinning a beautiful sword flower before pointing it straight at the mountain-like Chi Zhanyue in front of her.

“Today is Monster Hunter time!”

Xiu Qingcheng smirked, saying words that neither Chi Zhanyue nor Meng Yingxing could understand.

But Chi Zhanyue could clearly sense that the sword spirit before him was undoubtedly provoking him.

The sword spirit was just like last time, possessing an arrogant confidence as if standing at the peak of a high mountain.

Chi Zhanyue roared again, and a heat wave rolled towards Xiu Qingcheng like a shockwave, sweeping across her face in an instant.

The heat wave blew Xiu Qingcheng’s long black hair into a chaotic dance, like splashed ink in the air.

“So hot. I hate such high temperatures.”

Xiu Qingcheng commented in a crisp voice and leaped into mid-air.

She raised the Ting Tian Sword high. It was such a simple action, yet it caused the Ting Tian Sword to gather violent winds around it.

The wind on the sword messed up Xiu Qingcheng’s long hair again, and then, the Ting Tian Sword was swung out with the wind.

With a light shout from Xiu Qingcheng, the Ting Tian Sword slashed out following the wind.

After a brief silence, the surroundings suddenly erupted with the ear-piercing wail of fierce winds tearing through the air.

A storm gathered countless sword blades, smashing straight down from mid-air towards Chi Zhanyue on the ground.

The wind on the sword blew out the overflowing fire of Di Huang Cang, slashing towards Chi Zhanyue.

Chi Zhanyue’s demonic eyes widened slightly. With his thick and powerful limbs, that mountain-like beast body leaped high into the air.

When it landed again, it was already on the ground dozens of meters away.

The wind on the sword, like a passing storm, landed where Chi Zhanyue had just stood. It was devastating; not a single intact object remained where it passed.

Xiu Qingcheng landed, narrowing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

“It’s much cooler this way.”

As her voice fell, Xiu Qingcheng lowered her body, holding the sword hilt with both hands, her gaze once again locking onto the distant Di Huang Cang.

“Next up is the Spirit Helm Breaker (Dragon-Ascending Slash).”

“Chi Zhanyue, are you ready?”

“Don’t let me cut off your tail with one strike!”

Xiu Qingcheng’s gray eyes widened abruptly, the madness generated by battle unconcealed in their depths. A smile hooked on her face as she charged toward Chi Zhanyue at an incredible speed.

Xiu Qingcheng was fast, but something was even faster than her.

A streak of white light broke through the air and pierced Chi Zhanyue’s massive body without warning.

Chi Zhanyue gave a low growl. A sword made of white spiritual energy had penetrated his protective demonic power, stopping just a few centimeters from his flesh.

Someone was coming.

Xiu Qingcheng’s heart stirred, and she forcibly stopped her movement in mid-air.

“Master, people are coming!”

Meng Yingxing had already glimpsed the figures not far away and hurriedly reminded Xiu Qingcheng.

He knew his master didn’t want to expose her existence in front of most people from the Tianfeng Sect.

Xiu Qingcheng landed silently on the ground, transforming into an ancient blue sword stuck in the earth, allowing Meng Yingxing, who rushed over, to pull her out.

“I haven’t even cut off Chi Zhanyue’s claws, tail, or head this time. Why did the support come so fast!?”

After chattering in Meng Yingxing’s head, Xiu Qingcheng seemed very dissatisfied with this kill-stealing behavior.

Hearing this, Meng Yingxing scratched his cheek.

“I was the one who sent the call for help to the others in the Tianfeng Sect.”

“When?”

“Just now when Luo Yun said there was no need to call for help. An emergency distress signal can be sent instantly using special spiritual power through the disciple token.”

Meng Yingxing explained.

Previously, when fighting the Xu family’s former demonic beast, he hadn’t called for help from Lin Yunchuan because he trusted Xiu Qingcheng’s strength and had forgotten he could.

But now Meng Yingxing remembered.

Moreover, in the war between humans and demons unfolding before his eyes, he was a participant. As a disciple of the Tianfeng Sect, if he could rely on the sect’s strength, there was no need to make his master work hard.

Xiu Qingcheng: “?”

“What kind of convenient function is this? One-key calling? Is the disciple token that useful?”

Xiu Qingcheng suddenly wanted to study what kind of useful thing this disciple token was.

As always, spiritual power is magical, isn’t it?

Just as Meng Yingxing pulled the Ting Tian Sword from the ground, several figures wearing Tianfeng Sect disciple uniforms appeared before his eyes.

The two in the lead were none other than Mo Lianming and Ye Xuan, with whom Meng Yingxing was all too familiar.

Behind them followed other Tianfeng Sect disciples.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that I, the Great Master Ye, would also have the chance to exchange blows with the Demon King Huang Cang! Watch my fist, watch my fist, watch my fist!”

Ye Xuan’s characteristically loud laughter hovered over the battlefield. He activated his Mystic Jade Golden Aspect, descending in a body of gold onto Chi Zhanyue’s back and throwing several punches.

Ye Xuan’s Mystic Jade Golden Aspect seemed to have improved again; Meng Yingxing could already see the phantom image of the aspect behind him, a size larger than Ye Xuan himself.

“Idiot! Get away from Huang Cang!”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s reckless behavior, Mo Lianming’s phoenix eyes widened slightly as she scolded angrily.

That wasn’t some ordinary demonic beast, but a genuine Cluster Star Realm Demon King. With Ye Xuan’s strength of just having refined the High Stage Tiny Star Realm, going up like that was simply delivering himself as a dish.

Ye Xuan’s golden fists, wrapped in chains, crashed onto Chi Zhanyue’s body but couldn’t even break his protective demonic aura.

The next second, the sound of breaking wind whistled from behind Ye Xuan’s head. Ye Xuan only caught a glimpse of Huang Cang’s blade-like tail swinging towards him out of the corner of his eye.

“Hahaha, is the Great Master Ye going to perish here!”

Before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, Mo Lianming immediately formed hand seals with both hands, and several spiritual swords flew out to protect Ye Xuan.

At the same time, another figure darted out from the side, violently pulling Ye Xuan away just before the protection on him was shattered by Huang Cang’s blade tail.

Facing Han Linlu’s barrage of lectures, Ye Xuan just laughed twice.

“Good! When I, the Great Master Ye, want to reincarnate, I will come find you, Elder Han!”

“I’m really fed up with you, brat! Get lost!”

Han Linlu rolled his eyes and threw Ye Xuan down forcefully.

Ye Xuan smashed onto the ground in a horse stance, landing right next to Meng Yingxing.

As soon as Ye Xuan saw Meng Yingxing, he flashed his pearly white teeth and patted Meng Yingxing: “Brother Meng, did you send the distress signal?”

“Mo Lianming, that ice block, and I rushed over immediately after dealing with the demonic beasts over there.”

“Not bad, Brother Meng! To be able to stand facing such a Demon King, impressive!”

Saying that, Ye Xuan slapped Meng Yingxing on the back again.

Meng Yingxing spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s terrified voice in his ear, Meng Yingxing reached out to stop him and said silently: “It’s fine, just some congested blood from the battle earlier.”

On the other side, as a High Stage Cluster Star cultivator, Han Linlu was still able to exchange a few moves with the current Chi Zhanyue.

But he didn’t choose to clash head-on with Chi Zhanyue. Instead, he took out several profound talismans and arranged them over a huge area with lightning speed.

Then Han Linlu formed a seal in his hand, and a large magical formation appeared within the spiritual talismans, completely enveloping Chi Zhanyue inside.

The moment the formation appeared, Meng Yingxing felt Chi Zhanyue’s demonic power being suppressed instantly.

Han Linlu landed not far in front of Chi Zhanyue, commanding a group of Tianfeng Sect disciples:

“All disciples, listen to my order! Suppress the Huang Cang Demon King within the formation and cooperate with me to execute it!”

The number of disciples who came to reinforce was large; their response resounded through the sky, deafening as thunder and lightning.

After the order fell, Han Linlu’s gaze darkened.

“I thought all the Demon Kings were on Qingyun Peak, and He Yundan and the others were in a bitter battle.”

“It turns out there’s still a Demon King causing trouble in Yongning City.”

“I wonder if He Yundan and the others can hold off those Demon Kings…”

Just as Han Linlu was worried, a mighty and majestic aura erupted from the depths of Qingyun Mountain. Immediately after, the cry of a sword shot straight into the clouds, carrying a terrifying sword intent, and countless sword lights fell from the sky.

In Meng Yingxing’s hand, Xiu Qingcheng’s gaze sank.

Han Linlu’s expression changed even more drastically. “The Sect Master… has come out of seclusion?”
