Chapter 91: Fled as if Running for His Life [Second Update]

She had originally thought those poisonous mists would be enough to wipe out the ice phoenix, but in the next instant they were frozen solid, turned to frost, and fell to the ground with a crisp crackling sound.

"How is this possible? How did my poisonous mist storm freeze away?"

The female quasi-butterfly demon king looked utterly stunned. Dumbfounded once, dumbfounded twice, dumbfounded beyond counting.

There was actually such terrifying cold in this world that it could freeze her searing poison. It was enough to make one curse the heavens.

"Poison Arrow Rain."

With a fierce cry, the female quasi-butterfly demon king flapped the wings behind her back and unleashed countless poison arrows at Qin Bailing.

Dense as a swarm, they were a sickly purple-black and nearly invisible in the night.

"Ice Wall."

Qin Bailing's eyes turned cold. With a grave expression, she stabbed her sword into the ground. An icy chill spread through the earth, rising into a wall before her to block the rain of poison arrows flying toward her like bullets.

Whistling sounds rang out without end.

Crackling impacts followed one after another.

Poison arrows kept slamming into the ice wall, chipping away shards of frost. Of course, many of the arrows also fell away, and some poison spikes were embedded in the wall itself.

One arrow pierced through the ice and shot toward Qin Bailing. She narrowly dodged the toxin-laced shaft.

Frost swirled around Qin Bailing's body, yet her face had gone as pale as paper. Using hidden strength came at a great cost to the body.

She held on with all her might, her whole body trembling faintly from the cold.

But she had to keep going. Even if she died, she would fight until death. The sword in her hand was wrapped in frost, growing colder by the second. The grass around her was already coated in white.

Grinding her teeth, she tightened her grip on the sword until her knuckles turned white, breathing hard.

She wanted to unleash her strongest move. It was a formidable sword art, her master's hidden trump card. With her current strength, she should not have used it unless absolutely necessary.

"Frozen for a Thousand Miles."

She whispered the words and poured every ounce of strength into a single slash.

Cold surged forward from her sword in a sweeping torrent, freezing everything in its path: blades of grass, the air itself, poison arrows, sweat, moisture...

The sound of ice forming crackled sharply.

Even the female quasi-butterfly demon king was frozen in place, her body, wings, hands, and feet all motionless.

Her eyes were wide open, her mouth gaping as though in disbelief, the chill piercing bone-deep.

After unleashing that strike, Qin Bailing's face turned even paler. A sweet taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her sword sank into the ground, and she nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

Frozen for a Thousand Miles was only a grand title; with her current strength, it could freeze only a little over thirty feet. Still, that was enough to seal the female quasi-butterfly demon king in place.

She had trained hard for so long, and at last she could use it. But now she had no strength left at all. If even a third- or fourth-tier zombie came her way, she would die.

She hurriedly took out a bottle of tempering liquid and drank it down. It could heal injuries and restore stamina.

Meanwhile, the huge block of ice was cracking with sharp popping sounds, thin fissures spreading across its surface.

Qin Bailing stared wide-eyed. She had not expected that the female quasi-butterfly demon king still could not be completely sealed.

She had done all she could, and there was simply nothing more she could do.

Zhang Jiulao was also badly injured.

He was no match at all for the male zombie king.

As for Little Dragon Girl, she was holding off two quasi-kings, and her situation was extremely precarious. Liu Yanmeng was in no better shape, drenched in blood and liable to collapse at any moment.

The greatsword in Zeng Hongsen's hand had been bent out of shape like scrap iron. He was covered in blood, fighting until he went mad, his eyes bloodshot, while countless people had already died.

Heaven and earth seemed utterly silent.

Everyone was plunged into despair.

If those few quasi-zombie kings had not been toying with them, these people would already have been wiped out.

Zeng Hongsen was still killing.

And the two quasi-kings facing Little Dragon Girl were the most miserable of all. They could not bring themselves to strike properly, could not land a killing blow, and could not kill her no matter what.

...

Inside the safe zone.

On the grass, the young man had broken through the attacks of two quasi-demon kings and one great demon.

He stood where he was, hair stirring in the wind, robes flaring wildly.

Blue-white flames blazed around him.

He looked overbearing and dazzlingly handsome.

His upper body was lined with perfectly sculpted muscles.

The night wind howled.

Everything around them was pitch-black, illuminated only by the blue-white flames.

The male quasi-snake demon king was furious beyond measure, his eyes nearly splitting with rage as he glared at Lu Fei.

That damn brat had actually swallowed his flames and fused them into a new, terrifying fire. At this point, even the two demon kings together might not be his match.

Still, they wanted to try. If they joined forces and fought again, and truly could not win, then they would flee. After all, no other demon would ever see the disgraceful state of their defeat.

Besides, they had already prepared a retreat formation earlier. No matter how strong this young man was, he could not catch them.

He looked toward the female quasi-cat demon king beside him, and the two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other.

Lu Fei did not know what they were planning. He only saw demonic energy surging wildly around them, bursting outward in all directions. The terrifying power shook the surroundings, and the trees rustled violently.

The female quasi-cat demon king's staff radiated a dreadful dark-blue energy that shot up into the sky, illuminating even the clouds overhead.

Beside her, the male quasi-snake demon king raised both hands high. His demonic energy and the Nether Snake Flame coalesced into a giant serpent dozens of feet long.

It roared and lunged toward Lu Fei.

At the same time, the blue light in the sky transformed into a massive nine-tailed cat, opening a ferocious maw and emitting a terrifying cry as it plunged from above toward him.

Such power. They had already used everything they had.

"Seeking death."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Fei's eyes. Blue-white flames ignited over his entire body, blooming into a colossal lotus that enveloped him, while dragon aura curled around him with overwhelming dominance.

Two devastating forces slammed toward him.

Boom.

The shockwave swept in all directions.

Destructive power rolled outward like a tidal surge.

The male quasi-snake demon king and the female quasi-cat demon king were both blinded by the burst of light. When the explosion finally faded, all that remained before them was a huge crater, smoke curling from its center, and within it, nothing at all.

"Haha! That boy is dead? Turned to ashes by us?"

The male quasi-snake demon king burst into wild laughter, throwing his head back in triumph.

"Heh. Good riddance. Then we can strike the human army from behind. They'll die miserably, every last one of them becoming our food."

The female quasi-cat demon king said coldly.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten snake meat. Peak seventh-tier snake meat ought to be delicious. I've never tried it before."

Suddenly, a chilling young voice sounded behind the male quasi-snake demon king. Blue-white light flared at his back.

A blue-white flame blossomed in the young man's hand.

Then it came crashing down on the male quasi-snake demon king.

Boom.

The blaze of destruction swallowed him at once.

"Ahhh!"

He screamed wildly, his face twisting and convulsing as he struggled on the ground. Then his body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

In the next instant, the mist engulfed Lu Fei.

The female quasi-cat demon king darted to the side at once and fled as if her life depended on it.

End of chapter.
