CHAPTER 273: 271. BLACK GOLD (3/4)

In the sky of the plains, black-winged demons with claws and sharp beaks kept chasing Zhantian Ye and Huai Ye.

Since both of their names contained "Ye," they naturally chose to travel together.

But because the two girls teamed up, they brought upon themselves some unnecessary trouble.

After killing a dozen or so white-winged small demons, they ended up angering a group of black-winged demons—perhaps because the demons thought they were easy targets with their weak numbers.

However, as both were in the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer, their speed was not much slower.

Feeling irritated by the chase, Huai Ye shouted directly in frustration, "Ugly monsters, stop chasing me! If you keep it up, I’ll transform and swallow you whole!"

"Transform?"

"Just kidding, trying to scare them."

Ba Snake is a reptile, even using a demon form couldn’t handle sky demons.

Huai Ye knew this well.

Zhantian Ye kept using Sword Control to counter the winged demons lunging at them. Eventually, she had to give up counterattacking, and said with a bitter smile, "But they don’t seem afraid at all; instead, they’re speeding up!"

In the Viewing Room, upon seeing this scene, Biyue Piaoling’s expression couldn’t help but change.

In Huan Cheng, witnessing this scene, he sighed, "These black-winged demons are truly formidable; their feathers can’t even be pierced by swords!"

He had seen the Sword Control Skill that allowed swords to fly.

When his son used Sword Control, the white-winged demons could be killed within a few moments, piercing straight through the chest without any delay.

Originally, Huai Ye could kill them easily as well.

But after being chased by these black-winged demons, the Sword Control Skill couldn’t kill a single one.

The sword striking their feathers emitted a metallic crash.

Huan Cheng sighed again, "These two girls are really in danger now."

Lu Ye, watching this scene from the side, also felt quite anxious, furrowing his brow just like Biyue Piaoling.

Having lived for so many years, the two know a thing or two about the winged demons.

Lu Ye spoke, "These are Black Gold, a special demon whose feathers can be used to forge weapons; didn’t expect them to appear in this Secret Realm."

Black Gold’s feathers can only be broken through with a Vein Technique in the Profound Realm.

Body Refining Realm simply has no way.

As far as he knows, such demons only appear in the Bright Mirror Lake’s Bright Land Trial.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Sect’s Trial Secret Realm also has these demons.

Immortal Sect’s tests for disciples are really strict!

At that moment, several people looked toward Wen Ping.

Wen Ping still appeared calm and relaxed, sitting with no trace of worry on his face.

Meanwhile, as Huai Ye and the others kept running forward, they started encountering other people.

A group of youths saw two beautiful girls running towards them, and each instantly rejoiced.

Especially Zhantian Ye, whose appearance had absolutely lethal charm, and her embarrassed, anxious expression stirred a protective impulse within others.

"My friend!"

One young man immediately spoke.

The person next to him promptly scolded, "What do you mean your friend, you’re from the Mitian Sect, her clothes aren’t even the same as yours... I’ve actually seen them before, watch me go up and talk."

Saying this, he was about to step forward.

The group chuckled, naturally not believing this guy’s claim.

However, someone led the charge to go talk, so everyone followed along, completely forgetting that this was a trial where demons might take their lives at any moment.

The youth at the front opened with a fist salute, but halfway through speaking, he turned and ran.

"Miss..."

"Oh my, Black Gold!"

"Over thirty Black Gold, we’re doomed, that explains why they’re running."

"They brought Black Gold over, we’re miserable!"

Two or three Black Gold are already enough to kill this dozen people; with over thirty behind, they aren’t even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

Just like that, the fleeing team suddenly gained over a dozen members.

The dozen people thus desperately sprinted forward, leaving a trail of dust and screams.

Running the fastest they ever have in their lives!

Yet still, people were constantly caught up and directly snagged, their bodies pierced by claws!

...

Star Sea City.

When this scene appeared on a stone tablet, people sitting in a booth were shocked and stood up at the window, pointing at the stone tablet and shouted.

"Why are there so many Black Gold?"

With his shout, everyone looked over with focused attention.

Upon seeing over thirty Black Gold, their expressions suddenly changed.

"What’s going on, why are so many Black Gold appearing?"

"Did someone find the Black Gold nest and steal their eggs?"

"It’s over, if someone truly provoked Black Gold, given their vengeful nature, many heading from the plains to the final destination will likely die."

As the discussions unfolded.

Most people in all the booths had come out,

Among the crowd, a golden-clad middle-aged man watched the scene with a stern expression, surrounded by beautiful women who also watched the stone tablet.

Then the middle-aged man quickly asked a woman beside him, "How many from our Lin Family chose to enter from the plains?"

The elderly woman promptly replied, "Over three hundred under age 28 and in the Thirteenth Layer went in, including 140 barely 25 years old."

"Damn it, over three hundred Body Refining Realm elites entered, but encountering Black Gold means unknown casualties."

With his curse, the beautiful women around him didn’t dare speak.

Because they were all concubines, speaking now would definitely draw his ire.

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, someone’s actually taking the initiative to confront Black Gold!"

With that shout, everyone immediately focused their gaze.

...

"Senior Sister Huai!"

"Junior Sister Zhantian!"

"Senior Sister Zhantian!"

Shouts echoed across the prairie, Luo Mi, Lin Kewu, Hua Xiaozhu, Huan Shan, the four of them actually came rushing over.

Everyone focused their gaze, thinking: truly lucky.

If not for everyone meeting here and deciding to rest together, they wouldn’t have encountered Zhantian Ye and Huai Ye being chased.

"Chasing my Senior Sister Huai!"

With an angry shout, Lin Kewu immediately used Sword Control, launching his sword in a dazzling strike.

Directly meeting Black Gold.

Swish!

Swish!

At the same time, swords from Luo Mi and others flew out.

"What!"

The multitude of Thirteenth Layer individuals paused for a moment.

Stunned on the spot!

Then two swords simultaneously landed on one Black Gold, one directly shearing off a feather, the other stabbing into a gap.

Whoa!

They heard a tremor, and Black Gold plummeted to the ground.

Huan Shan’s Dragon-slaying Sword was even more monstrous, needing no cooperation; one sword directly pierced a Black Gold.

Just a rotation in the air, killed three Black Gold.

Just four people instantly turned the chase into a unilateral crush.

In the Viewing Room, Biyue Piaoling and others watched this scene and couldn’t help but start applauding.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s always been two or three Black Gold able to kill more than a dozen Body Refining cultivators; didn’t expect today it’s the other way around!"

Biyue Piaoling squinted and smiled, glancing at Biyue Yi and asked with a grin, "Kid, still hesitating?"

"I..."

Biyue Yi hesitated, exhaling heavily in his heart.

He also wanted to immediately join the Immortal Sect to learn the Sword Control Skill.

But, the clan back there was waiting for him to report to the ancestor.

As the Young Clan Leader, he couldn’t just prioritize himself.

In the next moment, focusing back on the scene, over thirty Black Gold had been mostly killed.

Led by Huan Shan’s Dragon Slayer, several Black Gold below them tried to escape, only to be chased by several flying swords and beheaded.
