Chapter 454: Consequences Are at Your Own Risk!
“Wuwu!”
On a massive rock, a silver scorpion materialized. Its size was enormous. Its sharp tail rose high into the air, several meters above, with the tip shining and emanating a dark aura. Its entire body glowed with a mysterious light, and its fierce eyes were menacing.
“Roar…”
A gigantic ape appeared, standing upright like a towering tree, nearly two zhang tall. Its body was wrapped in a fiery red glow, shining brightly against the night sky.
The unusual feature of this giant ape was the horn protruding from its forehead, as thick as a human arm. It shone brightly, adding to its ferocity.
“Chirp chirp…”
In the low sky, three predatory birds circled, each almost the same size as the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
A grim griffin, with sharp, sword-like wings and dark blue radiance emanating from its body, had claws resembling those of an Ironclad Griffin.
A wild bird of prey, resembling a raging inferno, hovered with wings spread wide, setting the sky ablaze. Its piercing and sharp eyes belonged to a Red Flame Demon Eagle.
The final beast was the most peculiar, measuring at least five or six zhang in length. It resembled a dragon-like creature with eight unusual protrusions along its back, and its underbelly was devoid of claws. It radiated a black light that appeared and vanished in the dark.
Yet, it was the creature’s fierce eyes that struck terror—ferocious and grim, with a mouth full of blood that roared like a beast.
This was the Eight-winged Demon Python, radiating a powerful aura, and its cultivation level surpassed that of the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
The six mighty demon beasts exuded an intense presence, filling the air above, while the howls of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat echoed ominously, blending with the bloodthirsty and violent atmosphere.
Accompanying the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats, several other Wolf-headed Demon Bats from the Demonic Spirit Realm hovered, their auras just as strong.
The Dark Golden Demon Falcon joined the fray, its golden light shining brightly, and its eyes were filled with awe.
“Roarrrr…”
“Roar…”
In the darkness, the bloody and violent atmosphere surged, with the roars of the beasts resounding like thunder, almost as if they were responding to something.
“What should we do now?”
Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others had serious expressions. If they hadn’t been with Su Yi recently and gained experience in the world, just the pressure of this situation would have been enough to make them quake with fear and collapse.
“Whoosh…”
A gray figure emerged from behind the rock cave, swiftly appearing next to Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others. There was no dust, no disturbance—just a quiet, instantaneous arrival.
A person stood silently, dressed in a gray robe that failed to conceal the particularly arrogant and sinister air emanating from their body. This was an outer disciple of the Divine Sword School, a broken, heavy sword hanging on their back, attracting attention.
At this moment, in addition to the shadow’s own sword, there was also a large sword on their back. The two swords crossed, and the shadow stood tall and resolute, with deep and contemplative eyes. Their face was determined as their gaze shifted to the massive beast shadows ahead.
Indeed, it was Su Yi.
Su Yi had been in the midst of cultivating Qigong, and naturally, such disturbances alerted him.
Sensing the commotion outside, Su Yi deliberately retrieved a Xuan Weapon-level sword from the mysterious space, preparing for any unexpected situation.
“Ao!”
“Master!”
Upon seeing Su Yi appear, the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon, who had been locked in a fierce battle in the sky, suddenly descended and respectfully hovered behind Su Yi at a low altitude.
“Roar!”
One by one, the various-sized Wolf-headed Demon Bats followed suit, hovering low behind Su Yi.
“Swish, swish…”
The six powerful demon beasts ahead watched this incredible scene. Their sharp gazes were like blades, capable of piercing through space, and they fixed their eyes on Su Yi, seeming to study him.
The six demon beast cultivators appeared both surprised and confused as they observed the human youth. Their intense eyes reflected signs of agitation.
“Master, these are the six leaders from the surrounding areas. They’ve been coveting the Dark Spirit Fruit for a long time and have gathered to challenge me for it!”
The leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats communicated to Su Yi in beast language, explaining that these demon beasts were powerful leaders of nearby areas, and they had united to seize the Dark Spirit Fruit.
“Ironclad Griffin, Red Flame Demon Eagle, Eight-winged Demon Python, Two-headed Demon Mane, Silver Crystal Poisonous Scorpion, Demon Flame Ape.”
With just a glance, Su Yi recognized that these demon beasts were well-prepared.
Six demon beasts, with the Eight-winged Demon Python having the most potent aura in the air, equal to that of the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
While the Eight-winged Demon Python was the most powerful, the Red Flame Demon Eagle, Demon Flame Ape, and Silver Crystal Poisonous Scorpion were all at the fifth level of the Demonic Spirit Realm.
Only the Ironclad Griffin appeared slightly weaker, but its cultivation was still at the peak of the fourth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
“To obtain the Dark Spirit Fruit?”
Su Yi’s eyes flickered with understanding. These six demon beasts had come fully prepared and likely wouldn’t leave without obtaining the Dark Spirit Fruit. However, the fruit was already in his possession.
“Bat, where is the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree?!”
The Eight-winged Demon Python flapped its eight wings, speaking in a deep, resonant voice as it turned its gaze from Su Yi to the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
The Eight-winged Demon Python’s goal was the Dark Spirit Fruit. Based on timing, it seemed that the fruit would ripen in a few days.
But, feeling the shockwaves from earlier, the Eight-winged Demon Python had become anxious and suspected the source to be from the area protected by the bats. So, it decided to join forces with the other leaders. Their objective was to claim the Dark Spirit Fruits, or at least part of them.
However, to their shock, upon arriving, the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree was nowhere to be found.
“Roar… The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree is of no concern to you. Old snake, scorpion, and monkey, you better leave now, or I won’t hold back!”
The leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats growled in beast language, aware that these demon beasts would not give up easily. They were all after the Dark Spirit Fruit and had teamed up to seize it.
“If you don’t surrender the Dark Spirit Fruit, we’ll see who’s not being polite. Today, none of you bats will survive, and I’ll see if you’ll still refuse to hand it over!”
The Demon Flame Ape pounded its chest and roared, shaking the night sky like a rumbling thunderclap, clearly warning the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
“Monkey, don’t be so cocky. You’re probably not up to it!”
The Wolf-headed Demon Bat roared, its bloody and evil aura surging and shaking the air around them.
“Do their bodies also have Sword-patterned Stones?”
Su Yi spoke up, turning to the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats.
“Master, this monkey, scorpion, and old snake likely possess significant amounts of Sword-patterned Stones. They also have spiritual medicines and treasures in their nests, but nothing compares to the Dark Spirit Fruit. That’s why they’ve united to try and steal it!” The Wolf-headed Demon Bat replied.
“Sword-patterned Stones, spiritual medicines, treasures…”
Su Yi’s gaze hardened as he eyed the Ironclad Griffin, Red Flame Demon Eagle, Eight-winged Demon Python, Two-headed Demon Mane, Silver Crystal Poisonous Scorpion, and Demon Flame Ape. “Hand over the Sword-patterned Stones and the treasures from your nests, or face the consequences!”
Su Yi’s voice was calm but carried an undeniable weight, reaching the ears of the powerful demon beasts like the Eight-winged Demon Python and Two-headed Demon Mane.
Upon hearing his words, Situ Muyang stood stunned, his surprise evident as he looked at Su Yi. This young man was exceptionally strong, capable of suppressing even the Wolf-headed Demon Bat at the peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm. However, it was important to note that the six demon beasts before them were no slouches either.
