Chapter 22

"Interesting, let me show you something lively."

As the elegant woman in plain clothes finished speaking, her figure instantly appeared in front of Du Shaofu, who was still stunned with his mouth agape. She grabbed Du Shaofu and flew out, moving at a steady pace, seemingly unconcerned about the Xuanming Sect members who had already rushed over.

A vast expanse of mountains lay in ruins, two enormous birds standing motionless amidst the wreckage, appearing as if they were dead. Their massive bodies resembled two hills, and a fierce aura emanated from them, causing the Xuan energy within one's body to become abnormally obstructed, and even the soul to tremble.

One of the giant birds was bathed in golden light, its aura sharp and intimidating, making it a sight to behold with awe—it was a Golden-winged Great Peng Bird.

The other bird was entirely purple, its color gleaming like a phoenix. A scorching aura still radiated from its body, the terrifying heat making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

When the Snake Sect, Xuanming Sect, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance arrived at the two giant birds, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement, their hearts racing. This was undoubtedly a treasure of great value, a tremendous opportunity.

"Powerful demonic beasts have secret bones within their bodies, which are treasures among treasures."

Almost simultaneously, the Copper Snake Elder, Bald Zhong, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance rushed towards the two giant birds.

"With your strength, you also want to lay your hands on such treasures? You're courting death!"

A sharp and fierce voice echoed, and three streaks of light shot down like rainbows, their momentum astonishing.

"Bad, there are powerful beings."

The faces of Bald Zhong, Copper Snake Elder, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance changed drastically in mid-air. A massive wave of danger pressed down on them, and they did not dare to be careless. The secret patterns on Bald Zhong's bald head came to life, instantly forming a large bell-shaped shadow that spun in front of him, blocking the attack.

The Copper Snake Elder was not far behind, throwing his snake-headed cane, which transformed into a massive python coiling in front of him.

The old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance used a peculiar hand seal, and a white crane appeared behind him, spreading its wings to protect him.

"Zzzzz!"

The three streaks of light collided, the large bell on Bald Zhong's head buzzing and beginning to crack. The python-shaped shadow created by the Copper Snake Elder's cane was pierced through, and the white crane behind the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance let out a mournful cry.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three powerful beings did not even manage to withstand a single move and fell from the sky, landing heavily on the ground, spitting out blood, their eyes filled with shock. They never expected that the three of them would not even be able to withstand a single move.

"Roar!"

"Growl!"

"Moo!"

Almost simultaneously, three astonishing roars echoed, and three massive beast figures appeared in front of everyone. One was a giant black bear, as large as a giant, with thick paws like stone pillars, its aura shocking.

Another was a blood-red giant tiger, its eyes fixed on its prey, ready to pounce, its claws sharp and terrifying, the cold light flashing, making one's heart race. There was also a strange beast, its roar like thunder, its massive body over ten zhang long, resembling a small mountain. Just its sound could make one's Xuan energy fluctuate and blood boil.

The three giant beasts charged directly at the Snake Sect, Xuanming Sect, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance, who could all float and fly. They were undoubtedly powerful figures in the outside world, but in front of these three giant beasts, they were completely no match.

"Ahhhh..."

One after another, cries of pain and despair echoed. The dozen or so powerful figures from the Snake Sect and Xuanming Sect were killed by the three giant beasts in just a few moments. The three giant beasts then locked their blood-red eyes on Bald Zhong, Copper Snake Elder, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance.

"These are all the kings of the Savage Beast Mountains. Normally, they are restrained by the demonic phoenix, but now that the demonic phoenix and the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird have perished, these demonic beasts want to devour them to evolve and enhance their strength."

Bald Zhong, Copper Snake Elder, and the old man with white hair and a crane-like appearance clearly understood what these terrifying demonic beasts intended. Even at their peak, they would struggle to contend with these demonic beast kings, and now, with their injuries, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Run, run quickly. The losses are heavy, and the treasure is out of reach."

Compared to the treasure, their lives were more important. Without their lives, what use would the treasure be? Bald Zhong and the others were not weak, and they immediately shot into the sky, fleeing at high speed.

"Roar."

The three beasts roared, and these three demonic beast kings pursued Bald Zhong and the others relentlessly, charging into the sky, causing the space to tremble violently, and the surrounding towering trees to be cut down one after another.

"Zzzzz!"

After the three demonic beast kings disappeared, two figures appeared in the sky, one large and one small. One was an old woman in her fifties, slightly hunched, with long hair tied in a high bun, a few strands of white hair mixed in, and a somewhat aged face.

But the woman beside her had a striking presence, dressed in tight green attire, holding a delicate bow and arrow, with a beautiful face and a tall, slender figure, exuding a faint aura of spirituality, like a fairy from the depths of the forest. "It seems that among all the people, only you can compete with me. May I know your name?"

The old woman straightened her slightly bent back, her body emitting no aura but floating in the air. Her voice was sharp, the same as the one that had attacked Bald Zhong and the others, proving that she was the one who had knocked them down.

"I just happened to come here by chance, so I came to see the commotion. I don't mind not leaving my name. I didn't expect that you would have someone from that clan with you. Are you related to that clan?"

The clear voice echoed, and the elegant woman in plain clothes appeared in the sky, her expression calm. She glanced at the young woman in green attire and then focused her eyes on the purple demonic phoenix and the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird lying on the ground.

"It's her."

Du Shaofu stood in the air beside the elegant woman, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at the fairy-like woman beside the old woman. She was the same woman who had killed five burrowing demon pigs with arrows, and he didn't expect to see her again here.

However, the fairy-like woman did not pay much attention to Du Shaofu, her eyes fixed on the two massive demonic beast corpses below.

"What terrifying demonic beasts." Du Shaofu was greatly shocked as he looked at the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird and the purple demonic phoenix, their massive bodies like hills, their auras spreading, almost causing him to fall from the sky.

"I don't understand what you're saying, but since you're just here to see the commotion, the secret bones of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demonic Phoenix will belong to me. How about we split the essence blood and other remains?" The old woman looked at the elegant woman in plain clothes, sensing that she was very strong, which made her somewhat wary. Otherwise, the word "split" would not be in her vocabulary.
