Chapter 221 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
"Dead Horse Face, what are you saying? Find a way out now."
The Pig King flew into a rage, cursing profusely. Then, as if inflated by an invisible force, its body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, the air around it hissing as it was squeezed.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into an impenetrable wall of flesh, blocking all the talismans that were attacking them rapidly.
"You've already come, but you still want to leave?"
A chilling and biting voice sounded as if it came straight from the Netherworld. The chill contained in the voice caused the temperature around them to plummet in an instant.
The demon kings subconsciously looked up and saw a heavy rain of swords above their heads.
The three demon kings and the scarred man were instantly severely injured by this fierce attack.
The Pig King's body was like a punctured blood bag, with streams of blood spurting out. He let out a "woof" and roared in his hoarse voice:
"Damn it! Didn't the intelligence say that Lin Chuan would definitely pass through here alone? It would be fine if he didn't show up, but how did he fall into this carefully laid trap?!"
The roar was particularly harsh in the chaos, carrying endless anger and unwillingness.
"We're all going to die anyway, so what's the difference?"
When Catwoman heard this, a mocking sneer appeared on her lips, and the smile looked particularly strange on her blood-stained face.
Ma Lian's teeth were chattering at this moment, and the muscles on his face were twisted into a ball due to the force. He said viciously: "In this case, instead of waiting to die, I might as well fight to the death with Xu Hanyi!" After saying this, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
Scarface remained silent from beginning to end. His cultivation was at the bottom of the group, only at the early stages of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The frosty sword energy surrounding him was like a pair of invisible hands, fiercely suppressing his blade's power. The long sword in his hand trembled uncontrollably. But his gaze was as sharp as a torch, fixed firmly on the front.
"Tap, tap, tap."
The rhythmic sound of footsteps pierced through the clamor of the rain. A cool, graceful woman emerged from the pouring rain, seemingly stepping on the waves, and slowly approached them.
The heavy rain poured down like the Milky Way, and there was already a vast curtain of water all around. However, when the water droplets fell within half an inch of her body, they seemed to touch an invisible barrier and slid down one after another. Not a single drop could wet her clothes.
She was wearing a plain white long dress, the hems of which swayed gently in the wind, untainted by dust. She looked even more otherworldly in the wind and rain, yet exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"Abandoned pawn..."
Xu Hanyi opened his red lips slightly, his voice was cold, and his eyes swept over the monsters in front of him one by one, finally stopping at the scarred man.
"If you can have such a powerful sword in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, I cannot let you go."
After saying this, Xu Hanyi raised her jade hand slightly, and in this seemingly gentle movement, a cold light flashed across like lightning.
The scarred man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he was about to open his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but it was too late.
A line of blood spurted out from his neck, and then his head slowly separated from his body and rolled to the side with a "gurgling" sound. Warm blood gushed out and quickly spread on the cold ground, staining it a shocking crimson.
"You three..."
Xu Hanyi slowly turned his head, his eyes like ice spikes shooting towards the remaining three demon kings. The air around them seemed to solidify instantly, and under this invisible pressure, the raindrops actually hovered in mid-air, not daring to fall.
"Pig King, Catwoman, and Brother Dao are already dead. If we don't go up now, we won't have a chance!"
"This is a seventh-grade red blood pill that can stimulate potential. Let's attack together!"
As he spoke, Horse Face hurriedly pulled out a simple jade bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, and poured out three pills. A faint red halo lingered around the pills, and rich spiritual energy instantly overflowed.
"Fight!"
The Pig King stared at the pill, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination. He grabbed the pill and nodded vigorously.
Catwoman licked her cracked lips, a bloodthirsty light burning in her eyes. The three of them reached a consensus in an instant and prepared to fight to the death.
"Frost Falling."
Xu Hanyi opened her red lips slightly, and before she finished speaking, a crystal clear snowflake slowly fell from the sky. It seemed gentle and slow, but it brought with it an irresistible cold chill.
The snowflakes landed squarely on the shoulders of the Pig King, the Catwoman and the Horse-faced Demon King.
The snowflakes seemed light, but they seemed to carry a tremendous force. As soon as they touched them, the three of them felt a bone-chilling chill instantly invading their bones, as if to freeze their souls.
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me."
The Pig King's face was distorted by fear and anger, his eyes were red as if bleeding, and he roared viciously.
After saying that, he threw the pill into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it whole with a movement of his Adam's apple.
As the pill entered his stomach, a violent force instantly raged in his body. His whole body emanated hot blood energy, competing with the icy energy that invaded his body.
Catwoman saw this and gritted her teeth. A look of determination flashed across her face as she shouted, "I'm going to fight you!"
As the pill entered her mouth, her originally graceful figure changed. Her body became taller, her hair grew wildly, sharp claws popped out from her fingertips, and her eyes turned dark green, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
"What's the rush? I didn't say I'd kill you."
Xu Hanyi's expression was indifferent, and her beautiful eyes showed the coldness that seemed to see through everything.
"..."
"Really?"
The Pig King's face was full of suspicion, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Xu Hanyi. His voice was filled with uncontrollable doubt and a faint hint of hope.
"If you don't want to be a discarded pawn, then become the chess player."
With that, Xu Han, her sleeves fluttering, turned and stepped into the rain. Raindrops fell scattered around her, quickly blurring her silhouette. Only her cold words remained, echoing through the wind and rain.
"..."
As he watched Xu Hanyi's receding figure, the ferocious expression on the Pig King's face slowly faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression. Catwoman's eyes flickered with a faint green light, as if she were weighing the pros and cons.
……
"Master!"
Seeing Xu Hanyi coming towards her, Jiang Wanying immediately ran over and threw herself into her arms.
"Ying'er, be good."
Xu Hanyi looked at Jiang Wanying in his arms with soft eyes and gently rubbed her head.
"Master, do you want to cause internal strife among the demon tribe by not killing them?" Jiang Wanying raised her head slightly and looked at Xu Hanyi with a puzzled expression.
"It's not the point of civil unrest yet. We just want to let them go back to disgust Ye Wutan." Xu Hanyi shook his head slightly.
"But the demon tribe has set its sights on Achuan. Master, why don't you unite with other holy places to directly destroy the demon tribe? That way, no one will set their sights on Achuan anymore."
Jiang Wanying looked at the three figures rushing towards the demon clan, and there seemed to be murderous intent in her eyes.
"Since the beginning of recorded history, the conflict between the human race and the demon race has almost never ceased. Both races have experienced periods of prosperity and decline, but the result after the war is only a change in territory. But Ying'er, can you guess why?"
Xu Hanyi sighed slightly and threw the question to Jiang Wanying.
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, her lips parted, and after a moment's thought, she replied, "Is it because both tribes are hiding hidden cards, and they're wary of each other, that's why they can't wipe them out completely?
"That's certainly one aspect. However, the most crucial reason is that if the sheep are not surrounded by wolves, they will lose themselves in comfort and slowly decline."
"Born in adversity, die in comfort. Only by constantly remaining vigilant and prepared for danger in times of peace can the entire race have the motivation to continuously move forward and flourish."
