Chapter 131 A Mother's Strength
While everyone was busy dealing with the attacks from the surrounding enemies and had no time to spare, it suddenly made a rapid dive, as fast as lightning streaking across the night sky.
With lightning speed, it pounced straight towards where Xiao Bao was hiding, its sharp claws gleaming coldly, about to mercilessly seize the poor, innocent child.
However, at this critical moment, Xiao Bao's mother, who had been hiding in a corner silently protecting her child, suddenly unleashed a powerful force beyond ordinary people's imagination.
She stepped forward without hesitation, like a brave and fearless lioness.
Immediately afterwards, she used her seemingly frail yet exceptionally strong body to tightly shield the child beneath her, like an unbreakable fortress.
However, despite this great mother's best efforts to protect her child.
However, when faced with the terrifyingly powerful attacks of the bird demon, all efforts seemed so insignificant.
In that instant, a muffled "plop" was heard, and blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.
The mother's originally delicate body was instantly covered with many hideous and horrific wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible, and some with the skin torn open and the flesh ripped open. She looked like a bloody mess, a truly pitiful sight.
Finally, she could no longer bear the immense pain and pressure. Her body seemed to have all its strength drained away, and she collapsed heavily onto the cold, hard ground.
However, even in such a life-or-death moment, this mother did not give up protecting her child.
She closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth, and with the indomitable will deep within her heart and the instinctive reaction of a mother, she subconsciously used both hands to hold the child tightly in her arms, refusing to let go even a little.
Extremely frightened, Xiao Bao witnessed this tragic scene and turned pale with fright. He then burst into loud sobs.
The cries were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into people's hearts, leaving them feeling heartbroken and sad.
His small face was covered with crystal-clear tears, which flowed from his eyes like a burst dam, and he kept crying out.
"Mother...Mother, what's wrong with you? Please, please don't leave me!"
But the vicious bird demon turned a blind eye to the tragic scene, showing no pity or sympathy whatsoever.
It opened its blood-red maw, revealing incredibly sharp fangs, and uttered a series of cold and ruthless words.
"Hmph! You wretched woman, if you know what's good for you, hand over that child to me right now. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your life. Otherwise, today is the day you die!"
However, as the saying goes, women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers.
At this moment, even though the child's mother was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
However, upon hearing the bird demon's threatening words, her eyes showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a raging fire of anger ignited within her.
She raised her head, looked firmly at the bird demon, and responded with neither arrogance nor servility.
"If you want to take my child away, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Huan Yuechu, who had been fighting fiercely, felt a surge of anger upon seeing this scene.
These guys are really going too far! She could no longer suppress her anger, and resolutely bit her finger, smearing her bright red blood on the longsword in her hand.
The instant the blood touched the sword, a dazzling red light suddenly shone, enveloping the entire sword in a mysterious and powerful glow.
Immediately afterwards, Huan Yuechu's eyes widened in anger, and with a loud shout, she wielded a sword that shimmered with red light and rushed towards the bird demon like a bolt of lightning.
A thrilling life-or-death struggle is about to unfold...
Xu Yan, Wen Xingyu, and Mu Yang gritted their teeth and used all their skills to fight fiercely against the other lesser demons.
This was all to buy Huan Yuechu more time to deal with that exceptionally ferocious bird demon.
Huan Yuechu held the blood sword, its swordplay sharp as the wind, and attacked the bird demon directly.
The bird demon hurriedly dodged to the side, but still couldn't completely avoid it. Its left wing was pierced hard by the blood sword, and blood gushed out instantly.
Enraged by the injury, the bird demon opened its blood-red maw and spewed forth raging flames, the fire even more ferocious and terrifying than before.
Huan Yuechu moved with the agility of a swallow, skillfully dodging left and right, avoiding wave after wave of scorching flame attacks.
Taking advantage of a lull in the bird demon's attack, she seized the opportunity, swung her sword fiercely, and successfully struck the bird demon's claws again, inflicting serious injuries.
Seeing that it had suffered repeated losses, the bird demon's eyes flashed with fear, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
It raised its head and let out a sharp, piercing cry that echoed through the sky, as if summoning its companions for help.
In an instant, the numerous lesser demons that had been lurking around the area were all moved by the sound and surged towards Huan Yuechu's location like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, Huan Yuechu was surrounded by a dense swarm of little demons, leaving no room for escape.
Despite her lightness of body, agility, and unfathomable spiritual power, she gradually began to struggle against such a large number of enemies.
At this critical moment of life and death, the mysterious old man suddenly appeared in everyone's sight without warning, like a war god descending from the sky!
The old man was holding an ancient cane that exuded a mysterious aura.
His expression was solemn, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he waved his arm lightly, a dazzling blue light suddenly shooting out from the tip of his cane.
The blue light was extremely fast. Wherever it passed, the arrogant and domineering little demons vanished without a trace before they could even scream, as if they had never existed.
The bird demon was terrified upon seeing this, realizing it had encountered a formidable enemy, and turned to spread its wings and flee the place.
However, how could the old man let it escape so easily? With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a thin rope from his robes.
The rope, like a venomous snake with incredible agility and life, shot out through the air with lightning speed, carrying a sharp whistling sound and a chilling aura, and wrapped itself around the bird demon's massive body with lightning precision.
The bird demon was suddenly bound tightly by ropes. It struggled desperately in panic, flapping its wings and tearing at the ropes with its sharp claws, but no matter what it did, it could not break free from the incredibly tough restraints.
Just then, the stern-faced old man slowly approached with steady and powerful steps.
His face was full of anger, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were wide open, burning with raging fury, as if he wanted to burn the bird demon in front of him to ashes.
He rebuked in a deep and authoritative voice, "You unrepentant beast! You have always acted recklessly and wantonly, relying on your magical powers to commit countless evils and oppress the good. Today, your retribution has finally come!"
