Chapter 1210 - 938: Uninvited Guest (Part 2)
"Madam, run quickly!" Gongxi Yanchang knew he was powerless to resist; the Teleportation Talisman and the plea for help are both ineffective. He immediately protected Madam Qian Su from a fatal blow and pushed her down, saying, "We can’t teleport from here; quickly escort everyone to the Teleportation Array and evacuate!"
Before his words were even finished, one of the mansion’s elite tried to counterattack but ran into claws and instantly perished, blood spraying everywhere.
This blow showed no sign of stopping, ruthlessly smashing into the City Defense Array once again.
"Bang!"
They weren’t as lucky as last time, the City Defense Array shook a few times and was breached.
The array that had covered the city for years suddenly failed. The demon cultivators watching the commotion hesitated for a moment before reacting, hurriedly calling upon friends and rushing toward the Teleportation Array to escape.
"You... you must be careful!" Qian Su initially wanted to fight alongside her husband, but from that blow, she knew the disparity in their strength was massive.
She was not afraid to die, but millions of demon cultivators in Carefree City needed to evacuate. To open the Teleportation Array once to transport a thousand people away, assistance from her husband or herself was needed.
Though she was reluctant, for the sake of the bigger picture, Qian Su could only turn with tears in her eyes, flying back. Her voice rang throughout the city, "Carefree City is under attack! Quickly head to the Teleportation Array! City Lord’s Mansion guards hear me: Open all Teleportation Arrays, target set to the nearest city..."
Everything happened in a very short time.
The City Defense Array was breached, and emergency evacuation alarms sounded immediately.
Gongxi Yanchang didn’t concern himself with the drain of spiritual power, his moves ruthless, trying to distract the armored lion demon to buy time for the city’s evacuation; while Qian Su tried to once again prop up the City Defense Array to delay time, while evacuating, and furthermore using magic to deflect the residual damage from the Great Demon Beast’s attack, preventing lower realm demon cultivators from being killed.
"It’s still too far off." Du Li sighed lightly, just about to unleash pressure to confront the enemy.
At the critical moment, a petite figure flew out from the City Lord’s Mansion, her aura concealed, making it difficult to sense her realm, but seeing the sword’s brilliance, she struck heavily at the armored lion demon!
"Ha, a little creature who overestimates its abilities." It broke the City Defense Array with another strike, thoroughly pleased.
Seeing the little creature dare to boast, it flicked its tail covered in armor plates, intending to swat that petite figure to death.
Unexpectedly, the sword was fast like lightning!
The armored lion demon saw it but didn’t mind, swinging its tail to block it, yet it was one step too slow.
In less than a breath, the long sword stabbed straight at the right eye, it instinctively turned its face to avoid, and the next second, the sword tip pierced into the right cheek and emitted a dull explosion.
"My father already said, Carefree City is the resting place for demon beasts; naturally, it restrains you, subdues you. Even after trying to talk nicely, you remain unrepentant. Then leave your life here." Gongxi Jin’s petite figure stood in the wind, releasing an aura as powerful as the demon beast itself.
Void Refinement Realm demon cultivator?!
Du Li sensed this aura and his eyes brightened—Carefree City truly has hidden talents, such a formidable cultivator.
Calling the City Lord father naturally made her the City Lord’s daughter. He was puzzled, considering the Demon Realm Alliance governed seventy percent of the wilderness cities, and Carefree City’s City Lord wasn’t outstanding, thus never paid attention, not realizing he had a daughter in the Void Refinement Realm.
Such talent, it must be absorbed into the Demon Realm Alliance from close quarters.
Today’s visit is worthwhile, witnessing the devoted City Lord couple fighting desperately to defend the city, and discovering a new generation of high realm demon cultivators. Perfect timing to take her as a closed-door disciple, with time, she’ll surely grow into a top talent in the Demon Realm Alliance.
The armored lion demon, feeling pain, went furious, "The little thing dares hurt me, give me your life!"
It could sense the newcomer’s realm was similar to its own, both just recently promoted to the Void Refinement Realm, but the demon beast’s thick skin and large size gave it an advantage compared to a similarly ranked little pest.
Its mouth condensed a scorching fireball; the wounded armored lion demon unleashed a big move, attempting to turn the entire city into a sea of flames.
No matter if it can burn the similarly ranked little creature to death, as long as Carefree City is destroyed, the mission is accomplished.
"Jin’Er, run quickly!" Gongxi Yanchang’s pupils contracted; one moment he was just stunned by his daughter’s powerful emergence, the next moment he turned pale, shouting angrily, trying to block an attack to let her retreat.
Yet his response was still too slow, the gap between realms too large.
Just as Gongxi Yanchang shouted, Gongxi Jin calmly formed hand seals, a silver shield extended from her body, protecting herself and Carefree City before the flames arrived.
She even had the energy to turn her head and calmly say to her father, "Don’t worry about me; mother and brother and sister are opening the Teleportation Arrays to evacuate the residents. Father, go tell them not to be afraid. Once I slaughter this unreasonable demon beast, I’ll go repair the City Defense Array."
The fireball crashed into the shield but failed to cause any impact.
The flame spread, forming a sea of fire outside the shield, but the scorching heat did not harm anyone or anything inside the city.
"Jin’Er..." Gongxi Yanchang felt numb scalp, unsure if it’s the post-escape fright or the shock of his daughter’s burgeoning power since breaking through.
He only felt parched throat, followed by ecstasy!
"Don’t force yourself, protecting yourself is crucial. I’ll go for help now!" Knowing the urgency of the situation, Gongxi Yanchang leapt down but was intercepted by Du Li, "Lord City Lord, don’t panic, just inform your wife and the townsfolk to await the good news."
Intending to accept a closed-door disciple, he directly revealed the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s badge, grinning slightly, "Happened to visit Carefree City today, was just about to intervene when your brave daughter stood tall. Truly a tiger father with a courageous daughter. I shall watch the battle; if necessary, I will take action to ensure your daughter is unharmed."
Gongxi Yanchang saw the badge, utterly dumbfounded—the Demon Realm Alliance Vice Alliance Hierarch?!
Hiss! Carefree City was visited by such a figure!
Previously, Du Li was afflicted by Heart Demon, spending years in a quiet room within the Alliance; coupled with Gongxi Yanchang’s low realm and the city’s low level, naturally no chance to meet in person. Thus, seeing the legendary Vice Alliance Hierarch now, he was almost breathless.
Calming himself, Gongxi Yanchang bowed, "I was unaware of the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s esteemed presence, inadequate in my welcome. However, with the city besieged, I’m unable to attend properly, I beg your pardon, I must go to join my wife. Just recently out of closed-door cultivation, my daughter’s aura might be unstable; I entrust the Vice Alliance Hierarch to care for her briefly. Once matters here are settled, Gongxi Yanchang will receive the Vice Alliance Hierarch properly."
"You proceed with your tasks." Du Li waved him off, uninterested in dealing with the other.
He squinted watching the battle amidst the sea of fire, becoming increasingly satisfied with the young girl.
Though petite in stature, she wielded a Giant Sword, seven to eight meters long, the sword’s edge in full display, each move was practiced, effortlessly using finesse to overwhelm brute force, overpowering the armored lion demon into retreat!
Yet, for accepting a disciple, her realm is undeniably quite high, having cultivated to this point certainly has established cultivation techniques, requiring minimal guidance.
But who says a master can only impart knowledge and resolve doubts?
The higher the realm, the harder the advancement, with both resources and opportunities being exceedingly precious. So long as she can be supported, just being a closed-door disciple, she would presumably be delighted to have a master.
Moreover, being the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Realm Alliance, both ability and authority are evident, how many less-talented demon cultivators pucker up wanting to recognize him as a foster father. Now wanting to accept an apprentice, surely ten out of ten demon cultivators across the wilderness would happily be beside themselves, eager to bow in worship!
Du Li stood with arms folded, quietly watching the battle outside the city.
With the ground rumbling, though Gongxi Jin grew increasingly fatigued, she remained relatively composed.
Indeed worthy of being the City Lord’s daughter of Carefree City, living in a place where hunting demon beasts is the primary industry offers countless combat opportunities, thus experience is rich and judgment is precise. The armored lion demon saw its brute force repeatedly neutralized, itself wounded, promptly ceased its thirst for battle and turned to flee!
Gongxi Jin secretly let out a breath, sheathed her Giant Sword without pursuing. Earlier words were mere intimidation, should she attempt to slay it now, it indeed poses difficulty; there’s no need to fight to the death.
"Fleeing when unable to win, you’re not foolish. Damaging the city’s array and killing members of the City Lord’s Mansion, if you escape, who will compensate for this loss? Since you barged in uninvited, leave something behind." Du Li saw this, knowing it was his turn to act.
He coldly snorted, vanished in a flash, right hand formed seals, amidst rushing wind a quaint, bowl-sized Stone Seal was relentlessly hurled over!
"Die!" The armored lion demon sensing obstruction, instantly burned with rage.
Already enough vexed being suppressed by a little girl, now wanting to flee came yet another obstacle, it steeled itself with fury, enlarging its massive body with the intent to crush the obstructing individual to death!
