Chapter 330: The Empress Arrives
“Are you about to break through?”
The Little Demoness asked excitedly.
“That’s right, I just need a little time!”
Zhou Tong looked up at the sky, his gaze locking onto Zhong Ningxue.
Just moments ago, there had been a subtle change in her mentality, triggering a series of chain reactions that led to his unexpected breakthrough.
“This Lesser Celestial King is not simple.”
Zhou Tong’s expression was somewhat serious; Zhong Man hadn’t lied. Although she had only just entered the Sage realm, she was an exceptional presence among her peers.
Zhong Ningxue was likely to struggle against her.
Worse still, there were no human strong warriors around to counter the Celestial King. If he didn’t make a move, everyone present was likely to be wiped out by the Lesser Celestial King.
“It seems I have no choice…”
Zhou Tong took a deep breath, preparing to forcibly suppress his breakthrough opportunity and eliminate this troublesome being first.
“How much longer do you need?”
The Little Demoness suddenly asked.
“A bit over half an hour!”
“Then let me buy some time!”
The Little Demoness smiled brightly, pressing down on Zhou Tong’s shoulder.
“You… this is a bit…”
Zhou Tong frowned, ultimately preparing to refuse.
Although the Little Demoness possessed horrific weapons and could indeed kill a Sage if she detonated certain spirit talismans, forcing a fight against a Celestial King at the peak of the Reincarnation realm was far too risky!
“You underestimate me too much. I can guarantee I won’t harm myself!”
“That still won’t do!”
“Good brother… please agree to it! I promise to be good and obedient, okay?”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but tremble in disbelief, staring at the blushing Little Demoness. He never imagined she would act so coy.
This little rascal continuously flipping between “brother” and “sister” had taken him completely off guard!
“Boom!!”
At that moment, the two in the sky had already clashed.
Zhong Ningxue had barely exchanged a few moves before being pushed into a perilous situation, while the Lesser Celestial King was leisurely toying with her.
However, just as Zhou Tong was still deciding, he suddenly felt a familiar and powerful aura rapidly approaching.
“Alright… I allow you to fight; the three of you should be able to manage.”
“Three?”
Seeing the confusion on the Little Demoness’s face, Zhou Tong directly explained via voice transmission, which caused the smile on her face to fade.
“The Wild Fox is coming? Did you call for her?”
“That’s not true!” Zhou Tong couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
“Hmph, just in time; I’ll deal with it after this is over!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Little Demoness turned into a streak of light and shot into the sky.
“Virgin Saint!!”
The people from the Celestial Master Clan watched this scene, their hearts jumping into their throats.
“Don’t worry, that one is still on-site; she won’t just sit by and watch the Virgin Saint get into trouble.”
“Should we also go fight?” someone asked nervously.
“Idiot, this isn’t something we can intervene in; rushing in recklessly will only get us killed!”
The head of the Celestial Master Clan tightened his fists; realizing this, he should have brought the Senior Elder with him.
“Haha… I didn’t expect you, little bug, to have some skill, but this King has played enough; it’s time to end this!”
The Lesser Celestial King mockingly looked at the blood-stained Zhong Ningxue. With a flick of his finger, countless dark demonic energies formed a long spear, piercing through the void and targeting her!
“Eighty-One Seals, Space Barrier!”
Suddenly, a barrier appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the lethal blow, but it shattered simultaneously.
“There are still experts?”
The Lesser Celestial King’s gaze sharpened as he noticed the Little Demoness.
“Just the peak of the Reincarnation realm… not even as good as a bug!”
“Master!”
Zhong Ningxue shouted in surprise, causing the Little Demoness to be overjoyed.
Call it again…
“Master!”
“Haha… good girl… in the future, anyone who dares to bully you, I will kill them!”
Hearing this, the Lesser Celestial King couldn’t help but laugh coldly!
“Foolish human, it seems you can’t recognize your own strength; then I shall deal with you first!”
He opened his arms and waved lightly, while surging demonic energy transformed into a massive swarm of bats, darkening the sky as they charged at the Little Demoness.
This formation was nerve-wracking; it could likely obliterate Semi-Sage strong warriors.
“Ninety-One Spirit Seal, Thousand Hands Celestial Cannon!”
The Little Demoness immediately retaliated, unleashing a terrifying trump card.
“Ninth-level spirit talisman! Another ninth-level spirit talisman! More terrifying than that old man’s black coffin!”
The onlookers below were puzzled; when had the Celestial Master Clan become so extravagant? Such terrifying ninth-level spirit talismans were directly entrusted to the Virgin Saint!
They watched as the void gave birth to an overwhelming and pure energy that instantly obliterated the swarm of bats. Even the Lesser Celestial King had no time to dodge, being swallowed by the white light.
“These demons truly make no progress; no matter how strong, they will only be arrogant!”
The Little Demoness said coldly. If the opponent had investigated the power of this blow in advance, perhaps they wouldn’t have been caught off guard; it was just a pity he was too confident!
In just a few blinks, the light in the sky faded completely, and the vast sky was as clear as washed, showing no trace of the Lesser Celestial King.
“Has he been killed?”
Zhong Ningxue looked puzzled, but she soon found out the answer!
“Millennia of Silent Destruction Gu!”
Without any hesitation, she turned and countered, only to have her sudden strike effortlessly dispelled by the figure that appeared.
“You’re lucky!”
The Lesser Celestial King materialized without a scratch before everyone, a hint of surprise on his face.
If it hadn’t been for Zhong Ningxue’s quick response, he would have already achieved a double kill.
“Your spiritual power is quite impressive…”
He muttered to himself, being a genius of the demonic race and having entered the Sage realm, yet still lagging behind her in terms of spiritual power was rather unbelievable!
“How could you possibly be unscathed!”
Zhong Ningxue couldn’t believe her eyes; given the power of that spirit talisman, even a Sage shouldn’t have been able to withstand it unharmed.
“Quite simple… because that was just one of my avatars; you attacked the wrong target!”
As soon as this was said, the two women felt it was troublesome.
No wonder he was a genius of the demonic race; he was indeed incredibly difficult to deal with.
If they couldn’t distinguish which was the true body and which was the avatar, even a ninth-level spirit talisman would probably be unable to inflict effective damage!
“I want to see how many avatars you have!”
The Little Demoness took out another ninth-level spirit talisman, leaving those below in shock. Just how many terrifying weapons did this Virgin Saint possess?
“Hiss…”
Even the Lesser Celestial King couldn’t help but gasp, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“This woman must not be spared!”
In an instant, he split himself into ten replicas, surrounding the two women at the center.
“Die!”
Terrifying demonic energy gathered, forming a dark prison, trapping them with no escape, leading them to their inevitable demise!
However, at that moment, the distant sky trembled slightly, and a dragon’s roar and phoenix cry echoed through the air!
The Empress of the Soaring Empire had finally arrived!
