Chapter 559: Chapter 322: Slaying the Imperial Brother and Stirring Up an Unparalleled Foe (Part 4)
In the heat of battle, anything can change in an instant, and your opponent might use any desperate method.
“This human boy…” Huang Fei realized he had been defeated, wanting to send a message, but he was blocked by Qin Ming’s Golden Silkworm Power. Strands of Heavenly Light Force weaved into a net, enveloping him and preventing any chance to speak.
However, the eyes of the demon clan in the night sky were sharp and discerned that Huang Fei was at a disadvantage.
“Quick, send a message!” A demon whispered, after all, he was the Jade Emperor’s younger brother, and they must do everything they could to rescue him.
Then, even more demons swooped down.
Qin Ming knew he couldn’t afford an evenly matched, prolonged battle to buy time anymore.
“Puff!”
His Golden Silkworm Power pierced through Huang Fei’s body, pinning him to the mountaintop. Looking down, he said, “Is this the extent of your skills? Such arrogance is nothing special.”
“Hiss!”
The few demons that had just swooped in were horrified, trying to flap their wings but unable to fly any higher, as the Golden Silkworm Power surged up, trapping them. Bright sword light crisscrossed as well.
These demons fought with all their might, but in the end, they were all cut down by the blade, each one dying violently on the mountaintop.
In the night sky, the Falcon Demon attempting to escape with a message, though fast, couldn’t outpace the Thunder King Bird. It was pursued and killed.
In the distance, the Bird Clan scouts, with weak combat abilities, only responsible for messaging.
Qin Ming bent a bow and nocked an arrow, shooting them all down one by one.
“Who exactly are you?” Huang Fei was despairing, realizing he had kicked the iron plate this time.
Seeing Qin Ming approaching, he quickly said, “My brother is the Jade Emperor, don’t kill me, let me go, I could save your life at a crucial moment.”
“Are you dreaming? As a Big Medicine, you have no sense of awareness at all.” Qin Ming grabbed him, slapped him several times, then a sword light flashed, ending his life.
“Kill me, and you’ll face a dire fate as well. The Jade Emperor is unstoppable, no one can save you,” were Huang Fei’s last words before his consciousness was burned to ashes by the Heavenly Light.
“Sir, the message has already been sent, and the people in the city say you don’t need to worry, experts will soon arrive.” Some sparrows reported back after sending messages.
An Exotic Bird added, “The city’s people say not just one expert is patrolling nearby, and if anything happens, someone will come to support you.”
“Let’s just hope they don’t flake at the critical moment.” Qin Ming muttered to himself, gazing at the dark horizon from the mountaintop.
Soon, he extracted strange blood from the Flying Locust Beast’s body, temporarily sealing it, as he hadn’t finished absorbing the Blood Medicine of the Heibai Sparrow.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
From the horizon came loud commotions, as if a giant beast were running.
At the World’s Edge, the terrain was relatively flat, with few mountains, sparsely decorating the grand plains, dense with trees as far as the eye could see.
In the distance, trees fell, beasts fled, and birds flew into the sky, was a big creature on the move?
“The speed isn’t great, but it seems to be heading towards me.” Qin Ming’s expression changed slightly.
The old folks in the city behind him hadn’t appeared yet, could an old monster from the other side have arrived first?
If a Fourth Realm expert were to appear, he would likely be no match, as one great realm apart, no one could defy and win.
He had a painful experience, encountering an old woman from the Cui Family at the early stage of the Third Realm while he was in the First Realm; it was a foregone conclusion. Just her Protective Heavenly Light and naturally emanating Spirit Field tore him apart, eventually leaving him shattered but intact.
“If the old folks aren’t reliable, I’ll have to avoid confrontation and retreat for now.”
Before long, a majestic figure six meters tall appeared in his field of vision, not as tall as a big tree but terrifyingly powerful, sweeping its arm to smash everything in its path.
“A humanoid monster!”
The creature appeared humanoid but exuded a fierce prehistoric beast aura, its face flat, with only nostril openings without a raised bridge, and no hair on its head.
The most crucial part was that its entire body was silver-white, glowing slightly under the night sky.
“This closely resembles one of the giant beasts recorded in ancient texts, the Human shaped Silver Battle Beast!” Qin Ming’s expression turned grim.
In ancient times, giant beasts and plant-like mountains nearly wiped out humanity in Ye State, wreaking havoc and hardship.
Subsequently, with the help of alien species and the rise of human experts, the giant beasts were finally defeated.
“This Silver Battle Beast is likely in the Fourth Realm; I’m probably no match.” Qin Ming felt the situation was dire.
It climbed the mountain, its flat face’s eyes filled with icy coldness, each step causing a resounding thud, crushing many rocks beneath its feet.
“The monsters faced by our ancestors still exist among the demon clan, not wiped out.”
Among the Giant Beast Clan, humanoid Silver Battle Beasts are considered tiny in stature, yet extremely powerful, granted the title of ‘silver’ for their potential, mature individuals being in the Fourth Realm.
The Silver Battle Beast reached the mountaintop and immediately went berserk upon seeing Huang Fei’s corpse, its body glowing with intense silver light, charging toward Qin Ming.
As expected, killing the Jade Emperor’s brother had grave consequences, unable to resolve, and soon after, a Human shaped Silver Battle Beast appeared.
Qin Ming jumped onto the back of the Thunder King Bird, wielding the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade as he and the bird became one, slicing through the low sky like a bolt of lightning.
How would you know you can’t win without trying? He didn’t want to run without even attempting a strike.
Clang!
Qin Ming used his speed to avoid the terrifying blows of the Silver Battle Beast, leaving a slight bloodstain on its shoulder, injuring it.
However, he wasn’t happy; rather he worried, the opponent’s defense was utterly terrifying, its body incredibly tough, the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade cutting through its flesh, but blocked by mystical Beast Essence, making it difficult to sever its shoulder.
Moreover, as the silver light surfaced, the Beast’s wounds healed rapidly.
This creature knew neither how to engage Heavenly Light Force nor utilize Consciousness Spiritual Light, only wielding Beast Essence, relying on its formidable physique to overwhelm various opponents.
Qin Ming circled it, attacking repeatedly, striking thrice but with little effect, the deepest wound just barely reaching the bone, unable to inflict severe harm.
“Roar!”
The Human shaped Silver Battle Beast let out a roar at the night sky, with wave upon wave of Beast Essence boiling, silver light like flames, the Thunder King Bird nearly plummeting.
Its lifeblood churned, too close to avoid severe injury.
Qin Ming’s expression changed, realizing this giant beast was indeed extremely dangerous and hard to deal with.
The Thunder King Bird flew high, too frightened to dive down again.
The Human shaped Silver Battle Beast stomped the ground and then buried Huang Fei’s corpse underground.
It roared at Qin Ming, its gaze icy, then started walking down the mountain.
Qin Ming frowned, was it really just leaving?
Soon, he noticed something wrong; the humanoid Silver Battle Beast was running towards Qingfeng Town!
“The old folks ordered us to be tough on trespassing demons, but are hiding at such a crucial moment? Why haven’t they appeared!” Qin Ming was anxious.
If such a beast entered Qingfeng Town, everyone would be annihilated.
He gazed into the distance and then let out a long howl towards the horizon, but no strong reinforcements responded.
Qin Ming frowned; thinking of the countless dirty little faces in town, he made a determined decision, urging the Thunder King Bird forward. With a whiz, he descended from the sky, blocking the path of the Human shaped Silver Battle Beast.
