Chapter 307: Then Fight Your Way Out to Life

"My Lord, be careful!"

Bai Yu's sharp voice exploded in Shen Yi's mind.

Almost at the same time.

He felt himself locked by a vast aura.

Shen Yi's form surged violently; no matter how he twisted and shifted, he could never escape the Demon Emperor's control.

He forcibly steadied his mind, gave up dodging, and headed straight for the Guest Reception Hall.

"Block one of his hands."

"Lady Qinghua obeys."

After instantly communicating with Lady Qinghua, Shen Yi turned into a streak of light and crashed into the towering archway.

The Golden Body Dharma Image protected his rear, but he discovered a strangely looking man sitting leisurely atop the collapsed Guest Reception Hall. His face was like a wicked ghost, draped in green feathers. He devoured flesh and blood in great mouthfuls, even smiling at the Golden Body: "You may flee as you please; no need to be polite with this Emperor."

Watching the Golden Body also vanish beneath the archway.

The man slowly and calmly licked the blood from his palm, then stood up and stretched his arms slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the spot was empty, his form gone.

Outside the archway.

Shen Yi swept across the long sky, the mountains and rivers beneath his feet left behind at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The Golden Body guarded the rear warily.

Just then, Lady Qinghua suddenly noticed her master had stopped moving.

She looked toward the other side.

She saw the man from before hanging silently ahead, his green feathers shining brilliantly, like a magnificent robe of treasure draping down.

He smiled and pointed to the side: "Do you want to try escaping from this side?"

Shen Yi fell silent for an instant.

When he raised his eyes again, within the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Infant inside his body, the True Yang Qilin Stone burned as hot as the sun.

Purple-gold fire waves rolled out, as brilliant as clouds, spreading across the horizon.

"Hoo."

The Green-Feathered Ghost-Face Eagle clapped his hands: "So you don't plan to flee; you plan to fight this Emperor to the death."

Having said that, he wiped away his smile: "Then, come?"

Demon-Suppressing City.

Almost all cultivators looked up at the sky.

Purple-gold sunset clouds filled their vision.

Compared to this rare sight, the demon qi shooting into the sky was the main reason attracting their attention.

"Is True Person Purple Flame acting again?"

On the second floor of the tavern, a cultivator suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted to his companions around him: "Do you remember the Zheng family I mentioned? This is that scene!"

His companion jumped up in a panic: "Why are you still talking about True Persons here? Can't you feel how terrifying that demon qi is?"

"A Demon Emperor comparable to the mid-stage of Soul Transformation has emerged from the Thousand Demon Cave," someone stammered.

These words were like a stone thrown into a pond, causing a thousand ripples; almost everyone slapped their waists.

In an instant, various auspicious cloud flying shuttles appeared one after another.

"True Person Purple Flame? I've never heard of him?"

Tang Yuan adjusted his breathing while looking at the sky with a solemn expression.

He knew there were several True Persons from Mount Wutong in the Thousand Demon Cave, but none of them matched this scene.

"I heard from others that it is the one who destroyed the Zheng family."

Several Great Qian Grand Masters spoke softly. Before their words ended, Hou Wanhai saw Xu Wanyun beside him, her face full of fear.

He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What is wrong with you?"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "Could it be Daoist Shen?"

He remembered the other party also played with fire.

Xu Wanyun said no more; the whole of her person rushed out of the tavern and flew straight toward the direction of the strange phenomenon.

"It's bad!"

Tang Yuan and the remaining few exchanged glances.

They had thought something unexpected had happened in the Thousand Demon Cave, but they never expected it to be related to them.

"Shall we go see?"

Tang Yuan stood up; he still remembered saying earlier that he would repay the debt of saving his life in the future.

Judging by this situation, it seemed the life-saver would perish before they even had a chance to repay.

The several Great Qian Grand Masters did not answer, but silently stood up.

Immediately, several figures soared into the air simultaneously, chasing after Xu Wanyun.

All were individuals with profound cultivation.

This distance was reached in an instant.

When Tang Yuan saw the scene before him, he immediately felt his face go numb.

He saw the man covered in green feathers had pierced the Golden Dragon's neck with one hand, and then he himself was smashed hard into the ground by the Golden Body.

At the same time, a tall and slender youth hung in the air, his black robes completely shattered, his upper body bare, with red patterns and purple-gold flames shining together, looking like a man of blood.

Carrying the Nine Wheels of Departing Fire and the Great Sun, he turned into a streak of light and plummeted toward the ground!

"Hahaha!!"

The Green-Feathered Ghost-Faced Eagle let out a piercing laugh, firmly gripping Shen Yi's shoulder.

It let the Separating Fire blast entirely upon its own body.

Its shimmering green feathers were quickly burned away, and its skin began to melt.

That face grew ever more grotesque and terrifying, like a ghost's visage.

"This Emperor wishes to test whether I can tear you apart alive."

Its palms suddenly exerted force, but just then, it was hammered heavily into the ground by a heavy punch from the Golden Body Dharma Image.

"..."

Shen Yi took the opportunity to break free.

The entire shoulder had shattered under that single grip just now.

He breathed heavily, took out the Bai Yu Yao Huang's inner core from his storage treasure, and without hesitation, shoved it into his mouth.

Muscles stood out clearly on his muscular frame.

Crimson demonic qi and purple-gold flames spilled from the cracks in his skin.

As if they were about to burst him apart directly.

In comparison, the Green-Feathered Yao Huang rose leisurely, casually brushed the dust from its body, then crushed the Golden Dragon with a single hand: "You Golden Body cultivators are so annoying. When we fight, this Emperor takes real damage, while you just use some incense and wish power to fool people. Isn't that disgusting?"

"Tsk, it's him."

Tang Yuan headache-ridden tugged at his hair.

This Yao Huang might not be the strongest among the mid-stage Transformation of Spirit Realm cultivators, but its astonishing speed destined it to be the most troublesome one.

No wonder Daoist Shen didn't flee; where could he possibly escape to?

He swept his hand over his storage bag, and three more crimson lotus seeds came into his grasp.

While chewing, he shouted loudly: "Daoist Shen, this time we are even."

As his words fell, a wave of fire far more substantial than the previous purple-gold flames swept out.

"Surname Tang, is your master here?"

The Green-Feathered Yao Huang still wore a smile, paying no attention at all to the appearance of another Transformation of Spirit Realm cultivator.

"If I say yes, will you believe me?"

Tang Yuan clicked his tongue, slowly stepped out one pace, forming a triangular formation.

"Hmm..."

The Green-Feathered Yao Huang scanned the area, its gaze sweeping over the three of them in turn, finally landing on Shen Yi: "It seems the only thing missing is you; otherwise, this Emperor would truly be in some danger today."

As the words fell, it suddenly appeared before Tang Yuan.

Clearly, in this Yao Huang's eyes, the disciple of True Person Qingfeng was the most threatening existence.

Tang Yuan's face turned bitter; before he could react, his arms were already seized by the opponent.

Competing with a Yao Huang in physical strength was simply the stupidest thing imaginable.

He gave up resistance outright, looked at the ghost-face so close to his eyes, felt a surge of dread, then opened his mouth and spat out a fire dragon, which poured violently onto the Yao Huang's body.

"Are you... trying to... warm me?"

The Green-Feathered Yao Huang grinned, revealing rows of bone-white fangs; its entire feathered cloak turned scorched black, yet its momentum showed no sign of weakening at all.

With a tearing sound, half of Tang Yuan's arm was violently ripped off by it.

Even with the Golden Body rushing at full speed, it was one step too slow.

It smashed a heavy punch toward the Green-Feathered Yao Huang, but saw the opponent suddenly turn its head, its eyes filled with ferocity, and throw out a punch of its own!

The entire arm of the Golden Body Dharma Image exploded with a bang!

"You disgusting thing, this Emperor plans to save you for last to deal with..."

The Green-Feathered Yao Huang laughed wildly as it retracted its arm, then the laughter suddenly stopped.

It saw a pitch-black long spear easily pierce through its heart from behind; the dark spear shaft was wetted by demonic blood.

Thick lightning plasma surged into its body.

It slowly twisted its head around, its face finally becoming utterly indifferent: "What thing is this? You dare use anything?"

Shen Yi held the long spear; his entire arm was covered by black scales, which had even spread up to his neck.

Combined with the surging purple-gold flames in his eyes, the whole person looked as grotesque as a demon.

Only his calm voice proved that his sanity still remained.

"Isn't this quite useful? What do you say?"

A sinister expression rose on Shen Yi's lips; he fiercely thrust the spear shaft upward, causing demonic blood to spray as the spear tip tore through the Yao Huang's flesh and skin all the way, smashing its jaw.

The Green-Feathered Yao Huang exhausted all its strength, finally breaking free from the lightning plasma, and its two palms tightly seized the spear tip.

"Gulp."

Tang Yuan looked at the spearhead gleaming with cold light, less than an inch away from his brow.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Big brother, take it easy...
