Chapter 113: Encountering a Phantom Demon Tide

"How could that be? Everyone has their own area of expertise; you just haven't had your outburst yet. You have a unique advantage in archery. You must cultivate diligently; you might be of great help to me in the future," Yan Xiao comforted her.

His words were not false; ever since Luo Ying obtained the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, she had no assistance from the Sunglasses cheat, yet she could still hit the bullseye every time. She could truly be called an archery god.

It was just that because Yan Xiao had also used the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow with zero misses before, everyone in the Shengjian Sect assumed the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was a Dharma treasure with special properties, so they didn't pay much attention to Luo Ying's archery.

Only Yan Xiao knew how formidable Luo Ying's archery was. If it weren't for the locking function of the Sunglasses, if he were to shoot, let alone beyond a hundred meters, even within ten meters, he wouldn't necessarily be able to hit a person.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow had immense power. Although it was a replica, it could still bolster one's own cultivation. As long as one's own cultivation was strong enough, holding the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow could absolutely kill a cultivator of the same level in seconds. Furthermore, at critical moments, Yan Xiao could also imbue it with Fear Value, making its power not to be underestimated.

He was reluctant to let go, hoping that Luo Ying could truly become his right-hand woman in the future.

"Really? Then what attribute should I cultivate? Young Master, whatever attribute you need, I will cultivate that one!" Luo Ying was overjoyed, looking at Yan Xiao happily.

Seeing her innocent and lively appearance, Yan Xiao was truly moved.

He really didn't know what kind of fortune he had cultivated over several lifetimes to meet so many kind and beautiful women at the same time.

"Of course it's true," Yan Xiao affirmed. "As for the attribute, cultivate the Gold Attribute for now. The Gold Attribute has strong penetrating power and can significantly increase the lethality of bows and arrows. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

"Oh, okay." Luo Ying nodded, thinking to herself that she must cultivate diligently to raise her strength.

The journey to Luoyue City was quite far.

Even driving the Golden Scale Shuttle, it would take three days. Fortunately, the Golden Scale Shuttle could be controlled by Chenxi, so Yan Xiao didn't need to control the flight. This saved a lot of trouble.

Yan Xiao and Luo Ying treated it as sightseeing, watching the scenery all around.

Feeling tired, the two stopped flying to find a place to sit and meditate.

On a towering mountain, the two of them sat cross-legged on a giant rock. The cold wind was biting, and light snow was falling, but for two practitioners, this was nothing.

Seeing the snowflakes, Yan Xiao couldn't help but think of Tingxue in the Jade Coffin and Qingxue far away in Lingzhou.

Yan Xiao's journey this time was not only to find Qingxue but also to resurrect Tingxue; the pressure was not small.

But this matter was something he had to do.

With the Dominator Skill, he had a bit more confidence. After all, he was the protagonist, right? It shouldn't be that easy for him to die.

Taking the Jade Coffin out from the System Space, Yan Xiao opened it. Tingxue lay inside like a sleeping beauty. Her face was stunning, her eyes tightly closed, as if this world had nothing to do with her.

Yan Xiao reached out and touched the Jade Hairpin on her forehead. For some reason, Tingxue's 35% soul had always been in a dormant state, neither dissipating nor awakening. There was even less sign of it merging with her physical body.

Regarding this, Yan Xiao had asked the system, but the system, hindered by not being upgraded, indicated it had no access permission.

Yan Xiao could only give up.

Seeing that the light aura on Tingxue's body was somewhat dim, Yan Xiao immediately injected a drop of Five Elements Spirit Liquid. In fact, even without injecting the Five Elements Spirit Liquid, Tingxue's body would not rot. But Yan Xiao was always afraid of accidents, so every period of time, he would spend a drop of Five Elements Spirit Liquid to nourish her body.

Looking at Tingxue's melancholy cheeks, Yan Xiao felt very uncomfortable inside.

Up to this moment, he still couldn't figure out why Tingxue, who had already left, would suddenly return. And she had made such a huge sacrifice for him.

"Sister Tingxue is so beautiful." Luo Ying slowly stood up, walked to the side of the Jade Coffin, and whispered.

"Half-dead, what's beautiful about that?" Yan Xiao gave a bitter smile.

"Sister Tingxue is so brave. If it were me, I wouldn't go save a bad person like you." Luo Ying pouted and said.

"Who asked her to save me? In the future, if you encounter the same danger, you must not be silly like her." Yan Xiao covered the Jade Coffin, put it back into the System Space, and scolded Luo Ying with a smile.

"Then if I encounter danger, will you save me?" Luo Ying asked, looking up.

"No!" Yan Xiao laughed and closed his eyes to rest.

"Hmph! I knew you were a heartless person, a big bad guy!" Luo Ying gave a delicate snort, turned her head, and ignored Yan Xiao.

"Haha, you girl, you haven't been gentle for a few days before returning to your original self. Be careful, or your husband will punish you." Yan Xiao teased.

"Young Master, how do you want me to be gentle?" Luo Ying leaned against Yan Xiao and said softly.

"You little demon!" Yan Xiao was helpless; this girl was quirky and was simply a perfect lover.

At this moment, he didn't know if it was right to bring her along.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar interrupted Yan Xiao's good time.

The Golden Scale Shuttle hummed and shot over from the distance.

On the Golden Scale Shuttle, Chenxi pointed into the distance, babbling non-stop to Yan Xiao.

"What?" Hearing this, Yan Xiao's expression changed abruptly, and he shouted to Luo Ying, "There is a large group of Phantom Demons passing by ahead, let's go take a look."

"Phantom Demons!" Luo Ying was also startled. She still had fresh memories of the power of the Phantom Demon Army last time; that tragic scene was truly too horrible to look at.

"Young Master, it's been a long time since a Phantom Demon tide broke out. Why did it suddenly break out this time? Will it affect Qinghe County?" Luo Ying said worriedly.

"This place is some distance from Qinghe County, so it shouldn't be affected. Let's go take a look first; if we can kill them, we'll kill as many as we can," Yan Xiao said solemnly.

The name of this place on the map was Lu Ridge, close to Luoyue City and Liuyun County.

As far as he knew, this area was sparsely populated, and the cultivation of the practitioners was mostly not high. If a large-scale Phantom Demon force was dispatched, most of the cultivators here would be unable to resist.

"Chenxi, you protect Ying'er." Yan Xiao gave an order and flew forward on his sword. Chenxi followed behind Yan Xiao with Luo Ying.

High in the sky, Yan Xiao stepped on the Black Sword, wearing his Sunglasses to scan the number and level of the Phantom Demons.

"Phantom Demon count: 105,000+

Phantom Demon level: Highest level: one at 6th Rank 1st Grade, 100 at 5th Rank 8th Grade, 1,000 at 5th Rank 7th Grade, 3,000 at 5th Rank 6th Grade, and nearly 20,000 above 5th Rank 1st Grade. Comprehensive strength is: 4th Rank 5th Grade."

The system analyzed the specific data.

Yan Xiao was shocked when he saw it; he didn't expect this Phantom Demon tide to be so formidable. If this Phantom Demon Army were to head toward Qinghe County or Luoyue City, both would likely suffer.

To stop such a Phantom Demon Army, one would inevitably have to pay a huge price...

"Roar!"

That 6th Rank 1st Grade Phantom Demon seemed to have sensed Yan Xiao's aura and kept roaring at him. Fortunately, this big guy didn't understand the art of Qi control, otherwise, Yan Xiao would inevitably have to engage in another fierce battle.

"Young Master, where are these Phantom Demons going?" Luo Ying came to Yan Xiao's side, her heart filled with horror.

Such a massive Phantom Demon Army, if it entered human territory, how many people would die?

"Let's follow them and see first." Yan Xiao pondered for a moment; at this time, his heart was also filled with shock.

Compared to this, the Phantom Demon tide encountered at Falling Moon City before was truly a case of a lesser witch meeting a greater one.

In the past, he knew Phantom Demons were very powerful and terrifying, and a major threat to humanity. Yet he had not expected them to be this terrifying.

He had killed quite a few Phantom Demons, but he had always believed that human cultivators were the Mastery of this world, until this moment, when he could not help but feel doubt.

Qinghe County and Liuyun County are both remote places, their area being but a drop in the ocean across the entire Cultivation Continent, but if there are so many Phantom Demons in these small places, then how many are hidden in the depths of the wilderness and the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
