Chapter 2192: Chapter 726
A moment later, Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu, Qin Yi, and the others paused their steps and looked ahead at the Third Rank Demon King.
It was a giant bear, entirely brown-black in color, with a massive body several dozen yards tall.
Its majestic form stood upright, resembling a black moving fortress, its blood-red maw gaping open to reveal a row of chilling fangs emitting a foul stench.
“Roar!!!”
The giant bear seemed to be in a state of frenzy. Upon seeing Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu, and the others, it let out a low growl, suddenly stepped forward, and rushed over, surrounded by demon evil aura as dark as ink.
“Third Rank Demon King…”
Even though Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, Lu Chensha, and others had seen Third Rank Demon Kings before, facing such a Third Rank Demon King couldn’t help but make them shiver with fear and spark thoughts of retreat.
This was not only the intimidation of the Third Rank Demon King itself.
But also the oppressive feeling formed by the demon evil aura all over its body.
A natural suppression of higher life forms against lower life forms!
“This Bear King is injured; its right leg is somewhat impaired!”
At this moment, Qin Yi, as a sword cultivator, immediately noticed something amiss with this demon king.
“That’s right, this demon king is not in peak state, it’s injured.”
Lu Wangshu had long known that a Third Rank Demon King would appear in the secret realm, and that the demon king had already been heavily injured by her elder brother Lu Ping’an, and poisoned by her aunt Meng Xiaochan.
If it were truly a demon king in peak condition, even at the early stage of Third Rank, with Earth Rank low quality bloodline, it wouldn’t be something they could contend with.
Unless she deployed Talisman Sea Tactics with Third Rank Talismans, otherwise there would be no chance of victory!
“Injured…”
Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that no matter how unreliable Lu Wangshu might be, she wouldn’t lead them to death by facing a Third Rank Demon King.
However, Lu Xuanqian looked at the Third Rank Demon King in front of him with some anxiety.
He had cultivated until now but hadn’t gone through much experience.
Although he had seen the Lu Family’s Nine Netherhound, facing a Third Rank Demon King directly was a completely different feeling.
“Whiz!”
Lu Lingxiao gazed at the Bear King ahead, holding the Golden Fire Vine Tree, his body blazing with crimson flames a yard high, directly charging forward.
Though he’s injured and not in optimal condition, he was the only one present not affected by the demon king.
On one hand, due to the early colonization wars and the years at Great Dream Immortal City, he had become accustomed to Third Rank Demon Kings, breaking the inner fear.
On the other hand, it was the effect brought by the Seed of Law [Son of Heaven Qi Observation], making him immune to various suppressive auras.
Even amidst such oppression, the true form of the Son of Heaven continued to consolidate, seemingly ready to counteract and suppress the demon king ahead.
“Sister-in-law, Qingxuan, just assist from the side by plundering formation.”
Lu Wangshu, holding a talisman brush, sketched runes, and a nine-colored talismanic script appeared gradually on her smooth white forehead, resembling a sophisticated and mysterious rune.
She summoned Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and others over, intending to use this chance to experience the terror of a Third Rank Demon King up close, as a form of tempering.
“Alright.”
Without Lu Wangshu’s reminder, they knew this as well, maintaining solemn expressions, spreading their positions, keeping distance, and engaging in interference.
Meanwhile, Lu Lingxiao charged up to the Bear King.
The latter’s black palm stirred a terrifying foul breeze, akin to an apocalyptic giant hammer, sweeping towards him, its sharp claws like steel blades, slicing through layers of air.
“So fast!”
Though the bear demon is known for its strength, endurance, and thick skin, with slower speed.
But at the level of a Third Rank Demon King, even if still slow, it’s only relative to Nascent Soul cultivators.
To Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu and other Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was like a whirlwind.
Even though Lu Lingxiao’s eyes could catch the trajectory, it was too late to dodge.
“Kill!”
Lu Lingxiao’s qi and blood magical power boiled, the Vermilion Bird Seal atop his head resembling a fiery bird, cried out, and then the Golden Fire Vine Tree in his hand expanded several inches, forming a yard-high shadow to strike.
However, the fiery bird was immediately extinguished by the bear’s paw, and then the Vermilion Bird Seal collided fiercely with the Golden Fire Vine Tree.
“Spurt!”
Lu Lingxiao’s qi and blood churned violently, feeling an unprecedented weight and pressure.
Previously, in clashes with others, he relied on dual cultivation in magic body combat to hold the advantage in close-quarters.
But now, against a Third Rank Demon King, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
However, the reason cultivators can slay demon beasts of the same rank is by knowing how to adapt and rely on techniques.
Lu Lingxiao’s heart was empty, entering the state of unity of heaven and man, without thoughts or considerations, only a roaring fighting spirit burning, his whole being turned into a mass of crimson flame, resembling a Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, further attacking the Bear King, aiming for its chest wound.
“Chirp!”
The Vermilion Bird Seal also flew back into his hand at this moment, merging with his palm, releasing dazzling flames.
But a Third Rank Demon King is, after all, a Third Rank Demon King.
It let out a low roar, its chest hair of brown-black mingled with red stood on end, intertwining with demon evil aura, forming layers of soundwave attacks, pushing Lu Lingxiao back with a powerful force.
“Clang!”
But at this moment, a crisp sound of gold echoed.
Qin Yi’s flying sword suddenly shot out, aiming at the Bear King’s blood-red eyes as sword qi surged, forming a buzzing sound like bees, overwhelmingly fierce.
Nearby, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, Lu Chensha and others also acted, casting techniques from afar.
But such a Third Rank Demon King, with hide like armor, was difficult for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators’ techniques to break through its defense.
Only Lu Qingxuan’s attacks caused a bit of charred black on the Bear King’s body.
“So, this is a Third Rank Demon King…”
Though having seen Third Rank Demon Kings before, experiencing it up close in person was another matter entirely.
