Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 773 - 771 On the Brink of Death

Take it out? How? This girl has a hole in her head.

Guang Xiaoyu was frustrated. After a while, she fished out a few crumpled feathers from her clothes.

Back in the days on the Heaven Martial Continent, on Qingfeng... when she had just started her training and was still a young girl, her senior brother had plucked a few feathers from an Earth Chicken and given them to her.

He said they could be used to forge a Divine Weapon.

At that time, she wasn’t convinced, but who would have thought that after so many years, they would finally be useful.

Heifeng was moved, his pupils involuntarily constricting.

Chicken feathers? No! These are feathers from an Ancient Phoenix, still retaining a faintly fluctuating aura. If true Phoenixes still exist in the world, then it stands to reason that the bloodline of my Dragon Clan should also still flow.

Thinking this, he grew subtly excited.

Seeing his complex emotions, as though he was lost in memories, Guang Xiaoyu remained silent. It’s good he recognizes them, it’s good, she thought, secretly sighing in relief.

Dragons and Phoenixes, if they could resonate, a monumental karmic connection might arise. This was a saying from ancient times.

I wonder what would happen if he met the Earth Chicken?

After a long time, Heifeng gradually calmed down, his gaze intense as he watched her. "The Phoenix lineage still has blood flowing, so my Dragon Clan should not have perished."

"It’s a pity, though. I fell long ago, leaving only a wisp of Divine Sense..."

"I... can no longer reshape my flesh."

"I need an opportunity."

His voice gradually faded, growing softer, murmuring. It seemed as if he was speaking to Guang Xiaoyu, or perhaps to himself, his words filled with immeasurable loneliness and sorrow.

Ultimately, I have fallen. I cannot wait for such an opportunity. But I am not resigned to this!

"Senior?" Guang Xiaoyu inquired cautiously.

"What is it?"

"Have you ever encountered a Demon?" she asked again.

At these words, Heifeng suddenly became violent. His eyes revealed a terrifying and chilling look, and his dragon bones shook violently, as if in a great rage.

KILL!

An intangible murderous intent, like a biting cold wind, whistled out.

The two women froze in fear.

"Damn it, kill..."

"Dark Demon, may you die a horrible death!"

"KILL! KILL!" Heifeng’s state became increasingly frenzied.

Waves of Divine Might swept through. If Guang Xiaoyu hadn’t been strong enough, she would have been turned to dust.

However, from the words of this Dragon Clan senior, she caught two words: Dark Demon.

The Dark Demon... the most special existence in the Heavenly Demon lineage. It’s said that this Demon was born in the Netherworld, a figure of Opening Heaven level. It’s just that this fellow was incredibly unlucky, being suppressed as soon as he was born. Well, ’suppressed’ isn’t quite the right word; more like imprisoned here.

"Demon cultivators... Heavenly Demon. I understand. You’re here to find him," Heifeng said coldly.

Guang Xiaoyu wiped away cold sweat, feeling a bit nervous. ...From this Dragon Clan senior’s tone, she sensed an underlying message: "You know him? I want nothing to do with that old bastard. If you dare say you know him, I’ll send you to Reincarnation right now."

She hurriedly explained, "I’m here seeking a fortuitous opportunity."

Oh?

Heifeng fell silent. Over the years, many had come here seeking fortuitous opportunities: to devour the Dark Demon, seal the Dark Demon, suppress the Dark Demon, and so on. He had heard too many such excuses. But they all failed. Ninety percent of them remained, while only ten percent managed to leave alive, albeit seriously injured, their foundations destroyed. Or they were corrupted by that old bastard’s Demonic Qi. In short, those who seek the Dark Demon never meet a good end...

"I advise you to go back," Heifeng said.

"I am walking a special path."

"So?"

"I need the Dark Demon."

"And then?"

"I will slay it," Guang Xiaoyu declared, her gaze determined.

As expected... Heifeng mused, then laughed. Her guess had been correct.

"Countless demon slayers have come here, but none have met a good end," Heifeng sneered. "Are you sure you want to continue?"

Guang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and nodded, her gaze resolute.

The path of Cultivating Demon is arduous, long, and as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Yet, I must walk it—if for no other reason than for my Senior Brother’s lofty aspirations. Besides, this isn’t my first encounter with beings like Heavenly Demons; I have some experience.

Heifeng suddenly burst into loud laughter. "Interesting, truly interesting! A mere Demon cultivator wishes to slay the Dark Demon... Although I don’t think much of your chances, you... you have piqued my interest."

Guang Xiaoyu lifted her head.

"You’ve chosen this path yourself. Whatever happens, even if it leads to death, it is your own karma," Heifeng continued. "It is in the Ancient City behind me. If you wish to slay the demon, go ahead..."

He said no more.

But An, standing to the side, was utterly panicked.

She’s actually going to slay the demon! FUCK! I know a bit about the records of the Dark Demon. That thing is no pushover! We haven’t even found the passage yet, and who knows where it might appear? Perhaps... it’s inside this Ancient City?

Although An was reluctant to enter, she felt she had no choice.

"Sister, I think we should go back and get reinforcements," An suggested, her heart pounding with apprehension.

"Are you doubting my strength?" Guang Xiaoyu glared.

"No," An replied, on the verge of tears. How could I dare doubt your strength? I just think the Dark Demon is incredibly powerful; there’s no way we can beat it, right? Even if we don’t get reinforcements, shouldn’t we at least try to learn more about it?

Guang Xiaoyu huffed, inwardly amused. This girl is quite interesting. She’s clearly terrified of dying, yet she still chose to follow me here. She obviously has some ulterior motive!

But since An didn’t say anything, Guang Xiaoyu couldn’t be bothered to ask.

"Senior, I have one more question," Guang Xiaoyu said.

"Speak!"

"What’s the current state of the Dark Demon?"

"On the brink of death."

"Oh... That’s good, that’s good!" Guang Xiaoyu sighed in relief.

"It has been on the brink of death for hundreds of thousands of years," Heifeng added, a hint of mockery in his gaze as he looked at her.

"..."

An’s eyes widened in shock.

A chill ran down Guang Xiaoyu’s spine as a question suddenly struck her. "On the brink of death"... does that mean it’s about to die? So, the Dark Demon is still alive?

She recalled her encounter with Desolation; that Heavenly Demon had been dismembered, its bones scattered, which was how she had gotten the opportunity to practice the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill. Then there was the Green Demon, also in a state of demise!

This realization deeply unsettled her.

"Sister? If you’re scared, we can go back and get help first," An couldn’t help but blurt out.

"Nonsense..." Guang Xiaoyu lifted her chin defiantly. "How could I possibly be afraid? What are you thinking?"

"..."

"Alright, I have now fully grasped the Dark Demon’s condition. Next, I will enter this Ancient City and eliminate it," Guang Xiaoyu declared with a confident sniff.

Fully grasped? Grasped? If I remember correctly, Sister just asked one question, and that Dragon Clan senior only replied with four words. That’s what she calls fully grasping the situation?ŸŸŸ An’s thoughts were a jumbled mess, her unease growing with each passing moment.

Guang Xiaoyu said nothing more and strode forward.

An hurriedly made several deep bows towards the Dragon Clan expert and then scurried after her. "Sister, wait!"
