Chapter 377: A Useless Waste

The clear light rippled like water.

It looked incredibly gentle, but the instant it fell.

The lair of the Dark-Tailed Demon Emperor instantly flattened, and the surrounding earth veins collapsed several zhang along with it!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

True Person Master Lingxi pressed her right palm down in the air, her gaze cold and grim.

Seeing the sudden collapse of heaven and earth, Tong Xin Chuan's face changed abruptly; the opponent had attacked without even consulting them, catching them completely off guard.

"..."

Miao Qinghui pressed her lips together, reacted with extreme speed, and summoned the Profound Black Pagoda.

She stared solemnly at the ruins beneath her feet.

She did not know exactly how strong the Lion Emperor was, but having seen Shen Yi act, a slight comparison made it clear that this lion, which had stolen the Dark-Tailed Spear, was far from ordinary.

It was too hasty! They were cultivators with brains; for an ambush like this, they should have made much more adequate preparations in advance.

Leaving other things aside, letting Yan Shidi Tong set up a great formation first, even if it couldn't stop the lion, could block other demons and monsters coming to support from the outside, greatly reducing the possibility of the lion escaping.

If something unexpected happened...

The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor was currently at the height of his momentum, which is why he was so careless; once he sensed danger, where would there be a chance to sneak close to him again in the future?

"Do not lower your guard!"

Unfortunately, as the junior sister, Miao Qinghui dared not reprimand this senior sister who held herself in such high regard, and could only remind the two junior brothers.

"Is there any need for this?"

True Person Master Lingxi glanced at her coldly: "Do you not trust me? Do you wish more that it was Nie Jun who brought you here today?"

"Qinghui dares not."

Miao Qinghui shook her head and sighed inwardly.

"After all, it is just a small demon, not one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors."

True Person Master Lingxi withdrew her gaze, turned her palm over, and clenched her five fingers: "Moreover, before me, even if the Ten Great Demon Emperors themselves arrived, what would they amount to?"

Nie Jun could fight six demons and monsters single-handedly many years ago; no matter how strong he is, how strong could he possibly be?

What he could do, I can do as well, and I will do it even better.

As her hand changed, the dust and gravel beneath her feet suddenly rolled up, as if an invisible giant hand formed of spiritual pressure had gathered them together.

"Hoo."

Tong Xin Chuan shifted his gaze downward, chose not to set up a formation, but instead took out a long and a short pair of Mother and Son Swords.

When the dust and gravel gathered into a huge, incomparable sphere.

Just then, a huge vibration suddenly came from somewhere in the sphere, and a hand with sharp fingernails reached straight out.

Immediately, a pair of Jin Chi wings shook the gravel apart.

A voluptuous woman filled with wildness stepped out slowly, her vertical pupils gazing calmly upward at the sky.

After seeing the faces of the crowd before her, she bit her fingernail with her tiger teeth, and a hint of amusement curved her lips: "The Ten Great Demon Emperors are nothing, really?"

The instant that clear voice sounded by their ears.

Tong Xin Chuan suddenly raised both swords, Miao Qinghui's pupils constricted tightly, and True Person Qingguang gasped in shock: "Jin Chi Nine-Striped Tiger!"

Wasn't this an ambush on the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor? How did a fierce tiger pop out?

And why did the Ten Great Demon Emperors leave their treasure land?!

"..."

Being stared at by those vertical pupils, True Person Master Lingxi felt a chill surge up her spine, causing her to swallow her throat almost imperceptibly.

She had always stayed on Mount Wutong, staying by her master's side.

Her understanding of the Thousand Demon Cave almost entirely came from conversations with fellow junior brothers.

This was the first time she had seen a great Demon Emperor from the legends with her own eyes.

Even though the opponent still maintained a human form and her expression did not appear particularly ferocious or terrifying, the faintly spreading aura of ferocity still made True Person Master Lingxi's heart beat faster.

"W-what, is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Hearing this question lacking confidence, the Jin Chi Demon Emperor finally laughed: "This Emperor has lived seventy thousand years; the Soul Transformation cultivators I have eaten might be more than you have ever seen. Where did you get the courage to stand before this Emperor?"

The instant that last word fell.

True Person Master Lingxi's neck was grabbed by a pair of sharp claws.

She stared in horror at those vertical pupils approaching, feeling the other's faint breath, yet she completely did not know how the other had approached her.

"Get away from me!"

True Person Master Lingxi let out a scream, waved both sleeves, and heavy spiritual pressure poured out, slamming heavily onto the body of the Jin Chi Demon Emperor.

As the voluptuous woman sidestepped and pulled away, she sneered and left several deep gashes on Bai Xi's neck.

"Ah—"

Master Lingxi felt the stinging pain and instinctively let out a low cry.

Tong Xin Chuan gritted his teeth, and the Mother and Son Swords suddenly shot out, like a spirit snake leaving its cave, stabbing at the Jin Chi Demon Emperor at a speed barely visible to the naked eye!

Ding!

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor tilted her head slightly, opened her mouth, and bit the short sword; two tiger teeth caused the blade to be covered in cracks.

As for the long sword, it was similarly gripped tightly in one palm.

The treasure from the collection of Mount Wutong was obviously extraordinary, tearing the palm of this great Demon Emperor, with sticky demon blood dripping down the sword edge.

But her face showed no change whatsoever, still wearing that mocking smile.

"Jiang Shijie!"

Miao Qinghui's treasure tower emitted dark light, engulfing the tiger demon, as she cried out in agitation.

Tong Xinchuan heard the cry and turned to look, her face instantly filled with rage: "……"

Master Lingxi True Person panted heavily, one hand clutching her throat, the other's fingers flickering rapidly—yet the qi of heaven and earth fluctuated between condensation and dispersion; she had mischanneled the incantation!

"It's just a minor wound—why are you panicking!" Tong Xinchuan snapped.

Are you serious? At a moment like this, how could you make such a mistake?

"Why are you yelling? I didn't!" Master Lingxi True Person shouted back at a higher pitch, finally completing the incantation.

Suddenly, a clear spiritual seal formed in the heavens and earth, crashing down toward the voluptuous woman!

After releasing this spiritual seal, Master Lingxi True Person finally exhaled in relief.

Yet in an instant, the next moment, her pupils dilated again.

Her invincible spiritual seal was a precious technique taught by her master, long cultivated to the major accomplishment realm.

Yet now it was held back by a single hand of the Jin Chi Demon Emperor, who looked utterly unconcerned: "Is this all the senior sister of Mount Wutong can do?"

"She," Master Lingxi True Person whispered, unable to believe her own eyes.

Tong Xinchuan swiftly arranged a great array, while Miao Qinghui soared straight forward, slamming her dark tower down upon the tiger demon with full force!

Even Qingfeng seized the chance to draw his damaged treasure and unleashed his full power: "Senior sister, don't freeze—she's lying to you."

"Cunning demon…"

Master Lingxi True Person hurriedly recited the incantation again.

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor was struck hard by the dark tower, blood oozing from her temple, her eyes blazing with greater ferocity as she sneered: "Too late."

She slammed her palm, tearing the spiritual seal apart.

Her wings flared violently, and in an instant she reappeared before Master Lingxi True Person—this time, she opened her mouth and bit straight into her shoulder and neck, white fangs sinking deep into her flesh.

"Get off!"

Master Lingxi True Person frantically stopped the incantation and instinctively slammed a cruder spiritual pressure against the Jin Chi Demon Emperor.

Boom! Boom!

Each burst of spiritual pressure cracked the beast's wild body.

But the Jin Chi Demon Emperor gripped her arms, biting down hard on her flesh, even smiling wickedly at Master Lingxi as she mumbled: "You smell so good."

Riiip!

Accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh.

"Aaah!"

Master Lingxi True Person let out a shriek of terror, staring in horror as the tiger demon chewed and swallowed the flesh of the nascent soul, then calmly wiped her lips in satisfaction.

"Madwoman! She's a madwoman!"

She retreated frantically backward.

"What kind of array did you set?" Miao Qinghui, while guiding her dark tower back to aid her senior sister, suddenly turned and glared—her younger brother had spent so long arranging three binding arrays—did he think merely trapping her would kill her?

"…"

Tong Xinchuan, manipulating golden threads at her fingertips, said coldly: "A useless fool. Take her and get out."
