294: Feng Wu Arrives

The commander mercilessly released another ball of energy towards Ming Xi after taking a hard look at the prince.

Ming Xi imbued magic into his sword and swung it with the most powerful sword intent he knew. An explosion sounded as the two energies collided. The quake that resulted spread beyond the temple and shook the entire Demon Wind Island. Needless to say, it only served to heighten the fear and anger of those on the island.

The demon commander’s voice came out cold and stiff, like a machine. “Not bad for a descendent of the gods. Pity though, you’ll be dying here.”

The only thing rippling from his body was savage killing intent. His hair changed after he spoke. The long hair that flowed down beyond his waist broke off in the middle. New growth quickly replaced the loss length, while the broken pieces grew to the same length.

The strands of broken hair swarmed around Ming Xi. Each hair fiber, much like its owner, was filled with killing intent. Ming Xi readied his sword as he watched the millions of hair strands closely. He swung his sword and chopped at the dense hair forest.

The strands were not so easy to dispatch however. The cut strands regrew in midair and attacked again. Ming Xi kept slashing, but it was as though the strands were immortal, they kept regenerating and attacking. Ming Xi even resorted to using two holy level skills to no avail.

Ming Xi’s eyes darkened. He lowered the sword and summoned a cluster of egg-sized flames. The colorful flames were Little Seven’s life fire. He was able to summon them because of the symbiotic contract he shared with Little Seven.

The flames exerted enough pressure on the hair to prevent their regeneration, so Ming Xi was finally able to deal permanent damage.

He sighed in relief. He had feared the flames would have no effect.

In the meantime Feng Wu had climbed the long stairs, following Demon Wind’s trail, and entered a specific room that was separated from the sealed demon lord commander’s room. She noticed the battle immediately. It only took a few steps for Feng Wu and Xiao Chun to reach the exterior yard where the fighting was happening and she was finally able to see the person she was looking for. She entered the space while they were fighting.

Her eyes lit up. “Senior Ming Xi!”

“Xiao Wu!” Ming Xi turned distractedly to the source of the voice. Unexpectedly, he saw someone who wasn’t supposed to be there.

“Xiao Wu!” Jier was also surprised, but he was happy to see her. He was just thinking how things would work out so much better if Feng Wu was there. Now here she was. “Quick! Hurry and use your powers to purify the demon guy!”

Jier’s powers weren’t the right match for the situation. He was all about destruction. If he let loose and fought hard, then odds were high that the island would be destroyed.

Ming Xi was in the same situation as well. He was strong, but to really shine he needed a place with moonlight. An underground tunnel was the worse place for him to fight in. If it weren’t for the lack of natural moonlight, there was no way he would have been beaten back as hard as he had been.

They could only fight at fifty percent their normal strength because their positions were so disadvantageous. Naturally Jier was excited to see Feng Wu, whose ability was purification.

Feng Wu nodded before turning to Xiao Chun and saying, “Xiao Chun, go.”

Finally! Upon hearing the words, Xiao Chun knew he’d gotten permission to play and eat to his heart’s content. He happily circled around Feng Wu before emitting silvery light from this body and chasing off after the demonic energy floating in the air.

Three minutes later the demonic miasma in the underground temple was almost eradicated. The only place with any lingering miasma was the dark pond and whatever came from the commander.

Xiao Chun flew into the room with the demon lord commander. He ignored Zi Cheng and instead flew directly into the black pond. Bubbles immediately rose and burst from the surface as more magic energy came out of it.

The color lightened until it was no longer black and had returned to being a spiritual pond again. Xiao Chun flew out, satisfied.

Feng Wu looked at the demon lord commander closely as she stood in front of him. She did not like his aura.

“Xiao Wu! Get away from him! He’s a demon lord commander!” Ming Xi had watched as Feng Wu, clearly unafraid of death, stood in front of the commander, bold as brass. Ming Xi was so scared for her that he nearly dropped his defense and allowed the strands of hair to hit him.

Feng Wu tilted her head up at the commander. After three minutes of staring she finally asked, “Are you sick?”

Ming Xi and Jier nearly collapsed. Even Demon Wind, who had been ignored by the commander and was watching the play of events from the side, was so shocked that he coughed up another mouthful of blood in surprise. He wondered where this dense sister came from, talking nonsense in front of a demon commander.

The commander was probably ignoring Demon Wind because of the other three. One was a god descendent, another was an heir to one of the four seasons, and the other was a seven-colored phoenix touched by the gods.
