CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: GOLDEN CORE DEMON BEAST

"Alas, I never expected such a person in this world to resemble Mo Ting so closely." Xu Ping sighed inwardly.

The young girl before him looked at least eighty to ninety percent like her.

You couldn’t tell without a careful look.

"Kid, have you looked enough?" The girl’s father glared angrily at Xu Ping.

The girl shyly hid behind her father, avoiding Xu Ping’s gaze.

Xu Ping came to his senses, realizing his impropriety.

Staring at someone’s daughter in front of her father was probably, seemingly, somewhat impolite.

Xu Ping turned his head, awkwardly rubbing his nose.

The girl’s father seemed to want to say a few harsh words.

At that moment, a gigantic shadow enveloped them instantly.

Xu Ping looked up.

In the sky, a massive airship came from the west, just blocking the sun.

This airship was hundreds of feet long, its entire body a pale golden hue, with countless complex and mysterious runes engraved on its surface.

At the ship’s bow, a golden banner fluttered in the wind, flapping loudly!

"So big!"

Xu Ping couldn’t help but be shocked.

With the size of this airship, it could easily accommodate thousands of people.

And at this moment, the girl’s father lost interest in troubling Xu Ping, fixedly staring at the airship.

At this moment, several disciples of the Longevity Sect suddenly appeared, starting to drive away the people in the plaza’s center, clearly to make space for the airship to land.

Suddenly!

Just as the airship was slowly descending, a deafening bird cry suddenly came from the sky, as if tearing through the long sky with a fierce wind, causing people in the plaza to look up, eyes fixed on the azure sky.

"What is that?" someone exclaimed.

A huge golden bird, its wings spread like mountains and feathers blazing like flames, was diving toward the marketplace at an incredible speed.

Its eyes were like two blazing suns, exuding an oppressive pressure that made the surrounding air seem to tremble under its momentum.

"What is this?? A Foundation Establishment great demon??" The crowd instantly fell into panic.

But those who truly knew how terrifying this bird was knew it was not a Foundation Establishment demon beast, but clearly a Golden Core demon beast.

The Longevity Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators on the airship screamed in terror, "Quick, activate the protective barrier, run fast."

In fact, without his reminder, the moment the other Longevity Sect disciples sensed something was wrong, they already activated the array on the airship.

The runes on the ship lit up one by one, emanating thousands of bright lights.

Immediately, the airship turned into a beam of spiritual light, soaring into the sky.

However, the golden giant bird was too fast, appearing near the airship in the blink of an eye.

It suddenly dove down, its massive wings sweeping, causing a dense barrage of Wind Blades to appear in the air. The Wind Blades whistled like daggers, piercing the airship’s shield with a deafening roar.

Though the airship’s protective array was activated, under the Golden Core demon beast’s formidable attack, it appeared vulnerable.

"Quick, activate the counter-offensive array!" The Longevity Sect disciples screamed in horror, but it was already too late.

The golden giant bird’s attacks rained down like a storm, and under the intense impact, cracks began to appear on the shield, its light flickering, seemingly on the brink of collapse at any moment.

"Boom!" With a loud crash, the airship’s shield ultimately failed, shattering instantly.

The giant bird’s Wind Blades sliced through the airship’s hull like swords, sending pieces of the airship and countless people within flying apart with a piercing metallic tearing sound and numerous screams. The airship was torn to pieces, becoming a burst of flames, crashing at the edge of the plaza.

"Run! Run!"

Not only the plaza but the entire marketplace descended into chaos, countless people frantically fleeing in all directions.

’Damn it... Why did such a powerful demon beast appear?’ Xu Ping’s face turned pale, quickly getting up to find a safe place.

Destroying an airship effortlessly, this was definitely not some Foundation Establishment demon beast!!

Buzzing!

At this moment, a tremendous wave of spiritual power radiated out, the Second-stage array covering the entire marketplace was activated to its full extent.

But, after all, it was just a Second-stage array, how could it withstand the Golden Core demon fowl’s attack.

"Boom!" Another loud bang, the golden giant bird’s attack came crashing down again. The center of the marketplace’s array was heavily hit, its light instantly dimmed, ultimately exploding, dispersing into specks of spiritual light that vanished into the sky.

"Ah!!"

People’s panic reached its peak, fleeing in all directions, plunging the entire marketplace into chaos.

After breaking the protective grand array, the Golden Core demon fowl gently flapped its wings, landing beside a luxurious building. Its enormous claws easily tore through the building’s twinkling array, grabbing a terrified man.

Upon closer inspection, it was the Foundation Establishment Real Person guarding Dongwu Market!

The Golden Core demon fowl’s claws tightened, the spiritual light on the Foundation Establishment Real Person’s body sparkling like a faint candlelight, attempting to resist, but all efforts proved futile.

It only held on for a moment before the light was crushed, the entire person turning into a mist of blood, dissipating into the air.

After doing all that, the golden giant bird still seemed unsatisfied, its gaze fixed on another luxurious building.

Inside the building, a middle-aged man’s face was filled with horror. He understood this Golden Core demon beast was targeting the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Could it be because of that demon bird that night?" His heart tightened, and without further thought, he could only ride his Escape Light, breaking through the building, turning into a stream of light and escaping far away.

His speed was extremely fast, in just the blink of an eye, he was just a small black dot left.

The golden giant bird’s eyes flashed with a hint of human-like contempt, its wings spread open.

Boom!

It was like a level-eight gale arrived, blowing people left and right.

With its wings spread, the golden giant bird vanished instantly, reappearing beside the middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The middle-aged Foundation Establishment wanted to resist, but was easily slain.

"What on earth is this demon beast!!!?"

Countless people screamed in terror, this demon beast was beyond their expectations, the two invincible Foundation Establishment large cultivators in their eyes were easily killed just like that?

"The Foundation Establishment Real Person is dead, the grand array is broken, brothers, wealth is sought in danger!"

A cultivator with his figure concealed had eyes blazing with a blood-red glow, clearly cultivating a sinister cultivation technique. After a cheer of delight, he rushed into an opulent building.

Upon hearing this, countless loose cultivators’ eyes turned red, rushing towards the luxurious building.

All at once, the sounds of slaughter, screams... filled the entire marketplace.

For many loose cultivators, the marketplace chaos was an opportunity they might not even encounter in a lifetime!

If they could seize this opportunity, they might be able to completely change their fate.

"Damn, these people are really risking their lives for money!" Seeing the increasingly chaotic marketplace, Xu Ping couldn’t help but curse quietly.
