562: The Concubine Forced to Become a Resentful Woman 562: The Concubine Forced to Become a Resentful Woman Bang, bang, bang—
The earth suddenly ruptured.
Dozens of thick, black-brown tree roots tore through the ice, smashing viciously toward them.
Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted sharply.
It was a Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection attack, a force comparable to Fang Taiji.
*How could they possibly withstand it head-on?*
“Would she really dare kill you, an imperial concubine?” Jiang Fan tightened his grip around Concubine Yunxia’s neck.
He found it hard to believe.
After all, Concubine Yunxia was the most favored and trusted among the Demon Emperor’s thirty-six concubines.
Would Chun Ni, a subordinate Demon King, dare kill a concubine?
*Was she not afraid of punishment from the Demon Emperor?*
Concubine Yunxia simply gazed deeply at Jiang Fan with a calm look, as if quietly awaiting death.
She offered no further explanation.
The Golden Claw Iron Wolf, however, bolted instantly, shrieking:
“Oh my god! Who let this lunatic out?!”
“Once she receives a battle order, she enters a frenzied killing state.”
“Never mind a Demon Emperor concubine, she’d kill even the Demon Emperor himself without hesitation!”
The Golden Claw Iron Wolf ran like mad, scalp prickling with fear.
The Four Great Demon Kings, while awe-inspiring, were usually reasonable—most of them could coexist peacefully as long as they weren’t provoked.
But Chun Ni Demon King, who had been confined within the Demon Race’s territory for years and was forbidden from leaving, was an exception.
She was a lunatic.
A lunatic with a double personality.
In her normal state, she was a pitiful pushover that even stray dogs would bully.
However.
As soon as she felt threatened or received a killing order, a slaughtering personality would awaken within her.
Unless absolutely necessary, the Demon Race would never send her out.
They feared she might cause uncontrollable chaos.
Upon hearing this, the faces of those riding the Demon Wolf changed.
Zhao Wuji decisively commanded, “Scatter!”
“Run!”
Staying on the Demon Wolf’s back risked being wiped out entirely.
If they scattered, even if Chun Ni Demon King had three heads and six arms, she wouldn’t be able to chase down and kill every single one of them.
At least a few would survive.
Swoosh—
The group transformed into flickering shadows, darting in all directions.
Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and held tightly onto Concubine Yunxia.
Looking on as the terrifying roots whipped toward him, showing no sign of slowing down because of Yunxia’s presence.
He finally believed the Golden Claw Iron Wolf’s assessment.
Without hesitation, he activated Cloud Shadow, vanishing a hundred feet away in an Instantaneous Movement.
Boom—
The roots smashed into the ground, shattering the ice and forming a melted trench over ten feet wide!
Rising steam distorted and blurred Chun Ni Demon King’s approaching figure.
Jiang Fan gasped sharply.
*If that blow had landed,*
*Concubine Yunxia’s body would have been pulverized into a paste, wouldn’t it?*
*This lunatic truly didn’t care about Yunxia’s survival!*
Bang, bang, bang—
More roots surged like frenzied dragons beneath the ground, blasting away sheets of ice several feet high along their path.
They needed to escape quickly.
Concubine Yunxia not only couldn’t save them but was becoming a liability.
