The canine fang barely the length of a man's hand exuded an aura of malice and bloodlust that filled the air within beats.
Suan Ni, an ancient beast of untold horrors, one of the most ferocious among all species and one of the ten greatest ever to walk the Earth.
The Winged presbyter's aura began to wane while the aura of the Suan Ni's canine tooth waxed in comparison; the latter must be absorbing his powers.
"Get ready to die, you wretched creature!" cried the Tenth Presbyter, hurling the canine tooth into the air, the fang radiating an aura redolent of death and blood as it hurtled toward Chu Xun's direction.
Chu Xun allowed himself to freefall back down to the ground swiftly.
The canine fang, shining in a morbid-red glow, flew after him as if with a mind of its own.
Chu Xun watched the tiny fang chasing after him as doggedly as a bee and looked nowhere near amused. He drove a fist into the air, launchin
Tiny red veins filled Chu Xun's eyes. Exuding a presence that resembled a god – or more aptly, a true Devil – as he rode on the back of a Winged imperiously like a conquering hero.The Winged, horrified and frightened, could do nothing save to flap his wings desperately for dear life.Chu Xun grabbed the mane of his hair and jerked it left and right to make him fly in whichever direction he chose like a horse.Crack!Another Winged came from behind to intercept. But Chu Xun needed only to lean forward to deliver a kick backward.Snap! The blow shattered the blade of the Winged's golden sword into countless shards before barreling into him, leaving him crashing into several more of his kin, knocking them off the sky like bowling pins spraying blood and froth from their mouths with bones broken and fractured.Chu Xun stomped and smashed the spine of the Winged he was riding on, kicking him down
The main gates of the Fire Dragon Palace, once a magnificent and imposing structure, had been reduced into a mere heap of rubbles. Pits and hollows strewed everywhere around the compound, demonstrating the damages caused by the steely feathers iconic only to Winged warriors.If Emperor Ao had not intervened to intimidate the Wingeds, the Palace would have long been reduced into nothing but a speck of dirt in history.The Wingeds, upon realizing that an incredible entity was guarding the Palace, decided not to launch an all-out assault and chose instead to surround and besiege the Palace.If they could not risk an assault on the Palace that could alternatively spell their downfall, the Wingeds opted to deprive everyone inside the Palace of sustenance, hoping that this might force them to give up and surrender Maple Canyon.And the uneasy stalemate had endured as tensely as a taut bowstring.Life went on as usual inside
More than twenty chests were hauled up and left outside the gate of the Fire Dragon Palace."I'm afraid this is all the Fire Dragon Palace has," said Yan Chong with a look of reluctance.The Ninth Presbyter of the Winged race motioned one of his men to inspect the chests.The elderly Winged did as he was told. He landed and strode to the chests and opened one of them. He took out a magical shrub and a bright glow of light shone in his palm as he consumed the nourishment of the enchanted plant as it withered at a visible rate before turning into ashes.Satisfied, he opened the rest of the other chests and peered inside. When he was done, he turned around, looked up at the Ninth Presbyter, and nodded to him.But the Winged leader looked hardly contented. Coldly, he glowered, "Is that all?""Indeed," replied Yan Chong, "This is every bit of the treasures and valuables that we could find from every corner of t
To any proud Winged, landing on the ground and stepping toe-to-toe with humans was not only dangerous but also the utmost insult.Yet they hardly had any choice. This was the Devil. The one man who had almost decimated the Winged Legion and the rest of the Wingeds understood that any dealings with him needed to be handled subtly and delicately."What should we do now, sir?" an elderly Winged asked the Ninth Presbyter."We watch and play on for now. Lead everyone away from this place at once if things go sour; I'll hold back the Devil to buy you time."The order left the lesser chieftains shocked. By "holding back", the Ninth Presbyter was admitting that he was no match to the Devil."Is he really that powerful?!" gasped one of the elderly Wingeds."Very," breathed the Ninth Presbyter gravely, "He's at least on par with the Eighth Presbyter."It was all the elderly lesser chieftains could do to
By the time Chu Xun led everyone back up to ground level, they were taken aback by what they saw.The freak storm had caused such devastation that lands as far as thousands of meters had been reduced into a flatland.Nothing at all remained – every tree, boulder, or even the vaguest inclination or knolls had been utterly removed off as if a giant scythe had skimmed over the face of the earth in one deadly thousand-meter-wide circle.Most, if not all of the Fire Dragon Palace was gone, now in desolate heaps of rubble and debris.Meanwhile, a badly-fatigued Yu Cheng, who had stayed up for more than a week to create the fake magical herbs and shrubs, had only retreated barely for a moment's nap when his room collapsed over him. With a maniacal snarl, he freed himself from under the debris and the sprawl of destruction all around him left him stupefied.Fortunately for him, his chambers were deep inside the bowels of the P
The Peacock race and the Lycan race. Both among the alien races which had killed more than hundreds of thousands of people in their bids to win territories of their own.Proof of their savagery had been caught on video.In one such video, a gigantic peacock monster swooped down on a city full of people. It opened its big wide and like a giant vacuum cleaner, it sucked more than one hundred thousand people into its belly, including children and women."Wow, the rich flavor of blood. That's my belly half-filled, I suppose," said the peacock with morbid nonchalance in the end.Then another video clip featuring a Lycan King almost the size of a hill in a rampage, slaughtering almost every human in the city."Humans. Nothing but vermin with incredible breeding capabilities," said the monster coldly.Rivers of blood flowed around the battered and smoldering city.But these alien races were too power
Chu Xun raced like the wind up to the top of Dragon's Back.He entered Emperor Ao's abode, the Purple Mansion, and finding the ancient supreme being leisurely fishing filled Chu Xun with rage."What's that look on your face? I'm not going to fall for whatever tricks you have in mind this time," said Emperor Ao, who obviously failed to forget the last time Chu Xun had bamboozled Dragon's Wrath off him by feigning bad mood."I'm really angry this time!" bellowed Chu Xun, bending down to pick a stone that he threw as hard as he could into the water, scattering the fishes and causing water to splash up at Emperor Ao."All right, what is it this time?" said Emperor Ao placidly.The supreme being's disinterested demeanor did little to quell the flames of anger inside Chu Xun. "I've been missing for three years, Ao! Aren't you even worried at all?!""I've read the signs of your destiny before. You're not destined
Most people believe that the ox represents honesty. But are oxen really as straightforward as most people think they are?At the very least, this particular bull was no stranger to feints and deception by its lashing of the little boy called Pi using its tail."Pi!"His two companions cried and scrambled to him.It was bad. The bull's tail came as hard as a steel whip and lashed so savagely on Pi's chest that it caved in with his flesh red and raw as the boy immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood before he lost consciousness."PI!" cried his friends.Moo! The raging beast wheeled around after emitting a deep roar and galloped furiously at the children, barreling towards them."Quick! Let's go!" cried Qi to his other friend as he pulled the wounded Pi up.CRASH! Like a haywire bulldozer on a binge of destruction, the bull knocked down more trees in i
