After pushing Xia Jin away, Situ Xiuneng directly formed fists with both hands, gathering a large amount of scarlet Vein Qi around his fists, which embraced the fists as he advanced towards Long Ke's Long Spike. The two instantly collided head-on, and facing Situ Xiuneng's fists, the Long Spike pierced through the Vein Qi wrapped around one fist as if it were as soft as tofu.
Situ Xiuneng's eyes changed, and just as it was about to pierce his skin, his other fist hurriedly punched from the side, causing the Long Spike to deflect in direction. He then rapidly retreated a dozen steps.
"This is Dragon Beard!"
Situ Xiuneng glanced at the Long Spike in Long Ke's hand, his mind stuck on the moment just now when the Long Spike instantly pierced his Mountain-Suppressing Armor.
The dragon, in the Demon Race, belongs to the emperors.
The pinnacle of bloodlines.
Acquiring even part of it requires immense power; otherwise, the Dragon Bone of the Dragon God Sect wouldn't remain unclaimed. And forging part of it into a weapon requires even greater ability, which, as far as he knew, a Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan couldn't achieve.
Perhaps Four Vortexes or Five Vortexes might have a chance.
Long Ke smirked faintly and said, "You're quite insightful. So... if you're going to use the Mountain-Suppressing Armor to stall for time, you might not even know how you'd die... Enough with the talk, let's settle life and death first."
As the words fell, Long Ke made his move once more.
Behind him, Luan Yue and another turned pale, hurriedly pulling Bainian Xiang back. The people from the Immortal Sect naturally also hurried into Yunlan Mountain. Yunlan Mountain had the Immortal Sect's array, so there was no fear of the battle aftermath from the Mountain Suppression Realm.
At this moment, Situ Xiuneng simply didn't want to settle life and death with Long Ke.
Seeing Long Ke coming again, he quickly retreated further away from Cangwu City, shouting to Lu Ming, "Lu Ming, take Xia Jin and leave here."
Although Lu Ming had taken a kick from Long Ke earlier, and the Mountain-Suppressing Armor was shattered, and his Spirit Body was somewhat injured, he hadn't lost his ability to act. After Long Ke and Situ Xiuneng clashed, he had already retreated beside Xia Jin.
Upon hearing Situ Xiuneng's shout, he suddenly tore his shirt open.
At the moment the shirt was torn, a pair of red eyes suddenly lit up at the shoulder, revealing a bloody aura of Demon Qi. Following that, a dark cyan demon claw suddenly grasped Lu Ming's shoulder, seemingly borrowing strength.
The tattoo of the demon on Lu Ming's body came to life.
In an instant, a Great Demon of the Wing Race, sporting fleshy wings over ten meters long, separated from the surface of Lu Ming's skin. This demon, with dark cyan skin capable of vanishing into the forest at will, was most notable for its head.
It was a face both pale and ferocious, as if imbued with all the bitterness of time. Below this human face was a beast's head covered with half a face of fur, trembling incessantly as it roared.
Seeing it, those around them all revealed expressions of shock.
"A demon of the Wing Race that can attach to humans!"
"First time seeing it..."
The crowd murmured in low wonder.
Amidst their astonishment, the Great Demon spread its wide fleshy wings with a sudden flap, causing a gust of wind in the night. Then, one claw grabbed Lu Ming, and another claw grabbed Xia Jin beside him.
Then, the wings flapped to accelerate, about to soar into the sky.
Watching this from the city wall, Wen Ping's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, "Destroying the city and leaving just like that?"
The Evil Spirit Knight suddenly appeared!
A blue flame, entwined around white bone, emerged out of thin air, accompanied by cold and defiant laughter.
Haha—
Haha—
Amid this laughter, a scarlet iron chain flew into the air, seemingly trying to bind the Great Demon of the Wing Race, which was about to fly away. At their respective speeds, the Wing Race Great Demon could not evade the Evil Spirit Knight's chain.
If it were in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, it might be able to swat the chain away.
But this Wing Race demon, despite having the Special Ability of attaching to humans, was not very powerful in itself.
Mere Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression, the Evil Spirit Knight wouldn't have to expend much effort to kill it.
However, Wen Ping noticed then that as Situ Xiuneng held off Long Ke with effort, his expression changed with slight surprise at the appearance of the Evil Spirit Knight, yet showed no sign of worry.
"It seems there is another trick... indeed, this world is vast, with all sorts of special demons emerging endlessly. Given it can attach to humans, it likely has other abilities... an ability to escape this place securely."
Wen Ping murmured softly, and then, abruptly, the darkness around the Wing Race Great Demon shifted. Just as the Evil Spirit Knight's chain was about to bind it, with Xia Jin and Lu Ming in tow, it vanished on the spot.
All that was heard was the chain hitting the ground, followed by Situ Xiuneng calling for a halt.
"Sect Leader Wen, I am willing to bear responsibility for the actions of my unworthy disciple. No matter how much White Crystal you need, I can provide... that demon, called Black Pattern, not only can it attach to humans, but it can also teleport twenty miles away instantly. Twenty miles, unless it's a Wing Race Great Demon in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, no one can catch up."
