Unbeknownst to them, the old woman suddenly appeared on the other side, holding her staff and drawing something on the ground. Her movements were eerily similar to Feng Hua'an's!
"Not good! They're trying to summon demons, let's go!"
Tian Shu's expression changed drastically. He instinctively bit onto Jin Bao'er's clothes, lifting her and turning to leave immediately. At the same time, he used his claws to grab Li Qingjiu.
The white tiger carried the two of them directly into the air and flew away from the City Lord's mansion at an extremely high speed.
However, mid-air, they collided with something, sending them hurtling backward. Tian Shu's tone grew increasingly grim!
"It's too late!"
Everything happened too suddenly. Even Jin Bao'er, who had seen much, had never heard of a summoning array before!
The next second, large swathes of black clouds suddenly surged into the sky, then spun and churned, forming a black void.
Seeing this, Tian Shu directly brought the two of them down, unceremoniously throwing Li Qingjiu onto the ground.
"Jin Bao'er..."
For the first time, Jin Bao'er heard such a heavy tone from him!
"The demon gate has opened, and countless demons will pour out soon. However, the summoning array's time is limited, so don't stray too far from me later."
His usually arrogant beast-like eyes were now filled with caution. He had never expected these two to know demon summoning arrays! They clearly had no regard for the cultivators of this world.
Jin Bao'er also realized the gravity of the situation, her gaze becoming more vigilant. Demons?
In just a moment, a monstrously large and ugly creature crawled out of the black void. Its long limbs were covered in barbs, and its hard carapace looked terrifying, exuding a faint, strange black aura.
Was this a demon? Ugly, bloodthirsty, insane, and utterly inhuman!
Perhaps sensing the spiritual energy in the air, the demon suddenly became extremely excited. After its cloudy eyes swept back and forth, they immediately locked onto Jin Bao'er's direction, filled with greed and hunger!
"Heh heh..."
The demon let out a strange guttural sound, then used its four limbs simultaneously, leaping forward. Its long tongue extended, as if intending to swallow them both!
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er quickly threw out a defensive array, directly protecting the three of them. However...
"Bang!"
A violent impact sound was heard. The defensive array shook intensely, causing their ears to ache!
The demon was not discouraged. Failing to break through with one attack, it rammed into the array again, and again, and again...
"Crack..."
A faint cracking sound reached their ears. Jin Bao'er looked up abruptly and saw a fine crack forming at the top of the defensive array. It slowly spread with the demon's continued assaults...
At this moment, she was shocked!
With the support of the precious Bamboo Road Yuan, the defensive array could withstand a single blow from a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, yet it was being cracked apart by this seemingly not-very-powerful monster after only a few hits!!
How was this possible? Could this demon monster's strength surpass that of a Nascent Soul cultivator? It was truly terrifying!
Tian Shu seemed to have read her thoughts and quickly explained.
"Demons of this kind are not intelligent, their carapaces are hard, and their strength isn't overwhelming, but... they can't be killed!"
She abruptly turned her head to look. Unkillable?
"Splat!"
Before Jin Bao'er could think further, the defensive array shattered with a bang! The Bamboo Road Yuan immediately ignited and was quickly burned to ashes...
Everything happened in an instant. Her hard-won defensive array was broken just like that!
In the distance, two figures, one white and one purple, stood on the rooftop, observing everything...
"Ha! These two have learned quickly. Summoning arrays aren't for everyone! Even a demon beast at the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be able to protect Jin Bao'er today!"
The man's charming face was filled with a smile. The cultivation world had lost another Nascent Soul demon beast; how could he not be happy?
The white-clothed woman beside him looked gleeful, her eyes fixed on Jin Bao'er's current expression of horror.
"Leave the final blow to me. This time, I will definitely kill her!"
As she spoke, her face was filled with malice and distortion! The humiliation and pain she had endured during this time would be repaid to Jin Bao'er tenfold, a hundredfold!
Who else could this person be but Su Xianzhi!
Not long after, Jin Bao'er and Tian Shu finally joined forces and managed to repel the incredibly ugly monster. Although it couldn't be killed, at least they wouldn't be killed by it!
Seeing this, Su Xianzhi frowned and looked displeased at Li Yan Demon Lord beside her.
"Is this your demon race's immortal demon beast? It's no match at all!"
Li Yan Demon Lord, however, gave a seductive smile, his demeanor incredibly mysterious!
"Don't rush! The real show is yet to come!"
Su Xianzhi, not suspecting anything, turned her gaze back and saw that one by one, ugly demons were crawling out of the black void in the sky...
Below, Jin Bao'er's face changed dramatically. While repelling the demon with repeated attacks, she could only watch helplessly as the monster stood up again...
Soon, the ground was covered in a dense mass of monstrous demons, the stench of decay almost ubiquitous!
Jin Bao'er, carrying Li Qingjiu with one hand, could only rely on her small physique to dodge constantly. She quickly lost most of her stamina, sweat beading on her forehead and her breathing becoming increasingly ragged.
"Haha! Stinking girl! This horde of demons will tear you to shreds, and I, your City Lord, will personally extract your inner core! The ascension will be within reach..."
"Puff!"
The voice abruptly ceased! Feng Hua'an, standing arrogantly in mid-air, was swallowed whole by a demon monster that fell from the sky before he could finish speaking. He didn't even leave behind a final word.
Noticing this, a flicker of surprise crossed Jin Bao'er's eyes. At the same time, she stepped on the shoulder of a certain blood-drinking demon, propelling herself forward. Her vision instantly widened, allowing her to spot an old woman hiding within a transparent defensive array...
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles!"
Instantly, ice spread rapidly from beneath her feet, encasing the demons in a frozen tomb at lightning speed, including the transparent defensive array!
Meanwhile, Tian Shu threw the demon, which had been torn into two pieces in his mouth, onto the ground. He watched as the demon froze rapidly, showing no signs of healing or regeneration, before looking at Jin Bao'er in astonishment...
He hadn't seen Jin Bao'er use this skill twice before. This was the first time he had witnessed such a massive spiritual energy spell, and he was quite surprised.
Jin Bao'er casually tossed Li Qingjiu to Tian Shu, then turned and rushed along the ice surface towards the old woman's position! She gently raised her right hand, and a powerful ice elemental spiritual energy condensed into a ball...
"Break for me...!"
"Boom!"
With a loud shout! The ice elemental spiritual energy fiercely struck the defensive array, instantly shattering it! The panicked old woman within was revealed!
Perhaps realizing that she would die at Jin Bao'er's hands, she quickly turned to flee, shouting as she did.
"Demon Lord! Save me!"
Seeing this, the charming man in the distance's expression darkened. He waved his hand and unleashed an attack! Just as Jin Bao'er was about to pursue, she sensed another force approaching, forcing her to stop her pursuit.
