Chapter 90: The Hunt

"Fairy, since my dog of a son is not worthy of such a match, I have other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave first."

"Safe travels, Lion King."

Shenguang Xianzi said with a relaxed expression; having experienced this series of events, she naturally knew she could not keep Kuangshi Laoguai here.

Following this, brilliant light erupted from the bodies of the Lion King and his son, and they immediately transformed into two streaks of light, shooting away toward the outside.

Watching the figures of the two as they departed, a sharp glint flashed in Su Zhangqing's eyes.

After leaving Shenguang Lingshan, the father and son did not linger, and taking their subordinates with them, they transformed into a mass of black mist and shot away toward the depths of the ocean.

Their escape light was as fast as a streak of lightning; in less than half an hour, they were already one hundred thousand miles away from Shenguang Lingshan.

"Father, that brat Su is too bullying; are we just going to swallow our pride like this?"

"Hmph, what do you know? Do you think your father is the type to fear trouble? It is just that that brat surnamed Su is not to be trifled with, and we need to plan this out carefully."

"Father, aren't you being too cautious? The opponent is only a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator. Although he has some strength, how can he compare to you?"

At the thought of Kong Ling becoming the other's Shuangxiu Daolu, Shi Yu was furious to the extreme.

"You cannot say it like that. Although this brat is only at the Golden Core mid-stage, his strength is extremely formidable. If we were to truly fight, I might not necessarily be able to take him down."

"Father, is that brat really that strong?"

"Indeed, and that brat surnamed Su is on the same side as Ruyue Xianzi. That slut is the most protective of her own; she would never stand by and watch. If we truly fought, I might not be able to protect you!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Shi Yu's face was full of unwillingness.

"If it were another time, perhaps we would really have to swallow this insult, as no one wants to see a result where both sides are heavily injured. But now that the Hehuan Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect are at odds, why wouldn't your father kick them while they are down?"

Just at this moment, Kuangshi Laoguai gave a sinister laugh.

"Father, you mean..."

"Exactly. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. That brat Su made me lose face, and that little slut Ruyue also bears inescapable guilt. If I want revenge, I certainly wouldn't mind joining forces with the Yin Corpse Sect."

When he finished saying this, Kuangshi Laoguai's expression suddenly shifted, as if he had sensed something, and he revealed a grave look.

"Father, what is it?"

"Two powerful spiritual energy fluctuations are coming this way..."

"Could it be Su Zhangqing and Ruyue Xianzi?"

After hearing his father's words, the expression on Shi Yu's face also turned ugly.

"Nine times out of ten, it is them."

"Why would they chase us here?"

At the same time, at a location only a thousand miles away from Kuangshi Laoguai's group, two streaks of rainbow light tore through the firmament, their speed as fast as a streak of lightning.

Within the escape light, a man and a woman could be faintly seen. Kuangshi Laoguai had guessed correctly; it was indeed Su Zhangqing and Ruyue Xianzi.

As the saying goes, if you let a tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless future troubles. How could the two of them not understand such a simple principle? The events at Shenguang Lingshan had already forged a deadly feud with Shituoling. In such extraordinary times, they could not let the other side leave, otherwise, there was a high possibility they would join forces with the Yin Corpse Sect.

Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly. Su Zhangqing and Ruyue Xianzi naturally understood this principle and decided to slaughter these people here.

With the escape speed of Su Zhangqing and Ruyue Xianzi, a mere thousand miles would naturally be covered in an instant.

Kuangshi Laoguai, his son, and hundreds of members of the demon race—among whom there were seven or eight at the Golden Core mid-stage alone—were at this moment full of vigilance, putting on a posture of facing a formidable enemy.

The next instant, the two had no intention of hiding their tracks; their two streaks of escape light converged, and they appeared in the void.

"What is the meaning of this, Fairy?"

Kuangshi Laoguai narrowed his eyes, his tone incomparably flat, yet his entire body was vibrating with unceasing demon power.

"Does the Lion King truly not know the purpose of my coming here? There is no need for idle chatter, is there?"

"Oh, so you mean I didn't guess wrong? You want to kill me?"

"Indeed!"

"Heh, what a big mouth you have. Ruyue, I advise you to think clearly whether you want to forge a deadly feud with my Shituoling!"

Kuangshi Laoguai said in an icy tone; it was clear that this old monster was trying his best to suppress the rage in his heart. "Does your Excellency think there is still a possibility for us to turn from enemies into friends?"

"Brat, don't think that just because your skills aren't weak, you can come and jump around in front of this old man. As long as I set my mind to it, I have plenty of ways to kill you!"

Kuangshi Laoguai's blood-red eyes flashed as he looked at Su Zhangqing, his expression full of resentment.

"Heh heh, aren't you afraid the wind will twist your tongue? Just by relying on you?"

Su Zhangqing's face was full of disdain.

"Fellow Daoist, in a moment you hold off this old monster first, and I will deal with the rest of the demon race. When the time comes, you and I will join forces to slaughter this fiend!"

"Mm."

Ruyue Xianzi nodded slightly. In terms of strength, she and Kuangshi Laoguai were evenly matched; wanting to slaughter the other was no easy task.

Moreover, as both were at the Golden Core late-stage, even if they could determine a victor, if one side wanted to flee, the other would absolutely be unable to stop them.

Simply put, they would first kill all the other demon race members, then join forces to deal with Kuangshi Laoguai.

Seeing Su Zhangqing's expression, although he did not know what the two were saying, Kuangshi Laoguai knew this matter could not end well.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, as he raised his hands, an incredibly fierce aura surged around his body.

"Attack!"

After the words fell, he moved his body, and terrifying demon energy was released from within him. In an instant, it formed a black cloud that spanned several hundred feet.

Roar! In an instant, the demon energy surged, the sound shaking for a thousand miles, as if countless lions were roaring in unison. One could see waves of sound, visible to the naked eye, booming toward the two.

"Oh?!"

Su Zhangqing's expression shifted slightly. This old monster was truly remarkable; such a sound-based attack method was actually this powerful. Wherever the sound waves passed, the surface of the sea was actually split apart.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of explosive sounds entered their ears, and all the demon beasts within a radius of several hundred miles exploded and died, turning into a mass of blood mist that drifted above the seawater.

This is a Golden Core late-stage cultivator; with every gesture, they possess such immense power.

However, Su Changqing and Ruyue Xianzi are not simple characters either; facing that terrifying sound wave, Ruyue Xianzi's pretty face is full of mocking expression, and without any superfluous movements, she merely raises her jade hand.

"Whew..."

In the next instant, countless surging blue waves are seen, transforming into a water curtain that covers the sky, blocking that sound wave technique.

With a mere wave of her jade hand, the water spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges toward her.

Boom! A heaven-shaking and earth-shattering collision sound enters the ears; this is the first attack between two Golden Core late-stage experts, and the momentum is extraordinary; the mere aftermath of the spiritual energy is astonishing.

"Bang..."

The water curtain is directly blasted apart, but in that instant, the area within a radius of several hundred miles is directly slashed open.

"Whew..."

Yet in a fleeting moment, it returns to normal.

But with a single strike, it actually has such power; even Su Changqing cannot help but gasp in cold air.

The strength of these two is truly remarkable! It seems this battle cannot be taken lightly in the slightest, but even so, Su Changqing will not fear in the slightest.

Now, leaving Kuangshi Laoguai for Ruyue Xianzi to handle, it is the right course of action for him to first exterminate these minor demons.

Thinking of this, flowing light flashes around Su Changqing's body as he pounces toward the several Golden Core stage demonic beasts nearby.

"Not good!"

Kuangshi Laoguai's expression changes, but at this moment, Ruyue Xianzi blocks his path.

"With me here, don't even think about passing."

"Bitch, you are courting death."
