Chapter 23

"Never mind the trouble, I am fortunate to encounter such a lively scene, and I cannot let this opportunity go to waste. I want both the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix," the woman in plain clothes said softly, her expression calm but with an inherent authority that made it impossible to refuse.

"You have quite the nerve. If that's the case, let's see who will ultimately obtain them."

As the old woman finished speaking, a fierce aura erupted from her body. There was no need for further discussion. The visitor was not friendly, and her gaze instantly turned fierce. A powerful force surged from her body, enveloping the elf-like woman and placing her on the ground. An invisible, yet terrifying pressure spread across the sky.

"You should step back too, don't get close to those two demon beasts."

The woman in plain clothes' voice echoed in Du Shaopu's ear. In the next moment, Du Shaopu's body was enveloped by an invisible energy and placed on the ground.

Du Shaopu looked up at the woman in plain clothes in the air. She waved her sleeves, and a surge of light quickly emerged from her body, eventually forming a dazzling light sphere in the sky, faintly wrapped in runes. For a moment, the energy in the area fluctuated, and the aura was astonishing.

"I can sense that you still have injuries. It seems your luck isn't very good."

The old woman's terrifying aura fluctuated, and a palm imprint condensed, runes rippling, sweeping fiercely towards the woman in plain clothes.

"Even if I am injured, you still lack some skill." The woman in plain clothes was calm, but her eyes also turned serious, seemingly surprised by the old woman's strength. Her slender hand moved, and the light around her body shone brightly, the energy surging, causing the space to tremble. She then blocked the old woman's attack.

"Bang!"

The clash of energy produced a dull sound, like a tangible shockwave spreading in all directions.

In an instant, the two figures engaged in combat again, both enveloped in dazzling light, runes constantly emerging, their power causing the heart to tremble. Each collision produced a thunderous explosion, and their figures moved further apart, seemingly not wanting to destroy the corpses of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix.

The intense battle in the sky was naturally difficult for Du Shaopu to see clearly. At that level, he could only look up in admiration, gritting his teeth in determination, vowing to one day become such a powerful being, free to roam the world.

"Whoosh!"

The elf-like girl moved, her figure directly darting towards the corpses of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix.

"Rustle!"

Golden light fluctuated, and the dead Golden-winged Great Peng suddenly moved. The massive body, devoid of any aura, suddenly emitted a golden light, a terrifying aura spreading like a wave, as if a hurricane was sweeping through.

"Spit!"

The elf-like girl had just approached the Golden-winged Great Peng when she was instantly swept away by the golden light, her body flying back, spewing blood from her mouth, completely unable to resist.

"Be careful."

Du Shaopu, hearing the woman in plain clothes' warning, had no intention of approaching the two giant beasts' corpses. But seeing the girl being thrown back, he instinctively rushed forward, catching her.

"Spit!"

Although Du Shaopu caught the girl, the immense impact far exceeded his imagination, like a powerful shockwave hitting him. His internal organs felt as if they were about to shatter, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground with the elf-like girl.

The two fell heavily on top of each other, the girl on top, their faces touching, their blood-stained lips meeting, causing the elf-like girl's cheeks to flush.

"Grunt!"

The Golden-winged Great Peng revived, its mouth emitting a roar, its massive body standing up, its sharp claws instantly grabbing at the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix's belly, as if tearing through space.

At the same time, the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix also revived, its sharp, long phoenix claws, enveloped in purple flames, piercing into the Golden-winged Great Peng's belly. In that brief moment, the Golden-winged Great Peng's sharp, terrifying eyes filled with despair and fear, then turned fierce. Its body was enveloped in dazzling runes, its aura surging like lightning, causing the energy in the area to rapidly rise.

"Bad, those two demon beasts have revived. Run quickly."

Du Shaopu lay on the ground, his body feeling as if it was falling apart, almost fainting. At that moment, with the elf-like girl tightly pressed against him, he had no extra thoughts, especially seeing the two demon beasts awaken, standing like mountains, their terrifying aura causing fear.

Hearing Du Shaopu's words, the girl in the outfit immediately reacted, leaping up, spitting out another mouthful of blood, and running forward with all her strength, knowing she had no chance against the two demon beasts.

Du Shaopu wanted to run, but his body felt as if it was falling apart, unable to stand up, the mystical energy inside him surging, his body feeling as if it was about to explode.

"Self-destructing secret bones, damn it."

The revived Purple Flame Demon Phoenix had just inserted its claws into the Golden-winged Great Peng's belly when its eyes suddenly changed, as if encountering the most terrifying thing.

Although it seemed long to describe, the events unfolded in a split second.

"Run quickly."

In the distance, the old woman and the woman in plain clothes immediately sensed the shocking change below. The old woman's face changed, and she shouted, her figure rushing down, grabbing the elf-like girl and retreating like lightning.

The woman in plain clothes' face also changed, her figure like a rainbow, directly rushing towards Du Shaopu.

"Roar!"

"Moo!"

The three blood-colored tigers, the giant black bear, and the sonic beast, which had previously chased the Copper Snake Elder and the others, returned and launched three terrifying attacks towards the woman in plain clothes.

"Monsters, you are courting death!"

The woman in plain clothes was enraged, her calm face turning fierce. A dazzling light enveloped her body, runes flashing, instantly forming a special hand seal in front of her.

This hand seal appeared in front of her, like a full moon, sacred and dignified, pure and clean, its light illuminating the surrounding area, a terrifying wave of energy erupting, as if it could shatter the mountains and the sky, then fiercely striking the three demon beasts.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The attacks of the three demon beasts were instantly shattered by the hand seal, their bodies covered in runes breaking, their tough skin exploding, blood gushing out, large pieces of flesh falling off, even revealing white bones, and their bodies exploding in mid-air.

The three demon beasts, kings of their kind, were directly killed by the woman in plain clothes in one move, causing fear.

"Rumble!"

The body of the Golden-winged Great Peng exploded, and at the same time, the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix also exploded. Golden energy and purple flames surged, forming a violent energy storm, destroying the space around them, the surrounding mountains and the earth becoming riddled with holes, the sky and the earth collapsing.

At that moment, the entire world trembled, the terrifying energy wave destroying everything in its path, energy like meteors shooting into the sky, covering the area, a destructive aura descending, as if the world was ending.
