Chapter 436: Chapter 347: Half-step Dragon and Tiger (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Upon saying this, it felt like a drop of water falling in a spacious and silent room.

Then, the ripples caused by the water drop expanded in circles, and the sound grew louder and more piercing in this vast space.

"Want to kill me?"

"Want to kill..."

"...."

It was as if devilish whispers were being poured into their ears, exploding beside the ears of Martial Vault Demon and Li family’s Martial Storage, making both the person and the demon’s faces change color.

They found that even covering their ears with True Qi was ineffective, as if the sound was ringing inside their heads.

"Hmph, hiding behind the screen and playing tricks."

The golden pupils of Martial Vault Demon narrowed into vertical slits, and the echo inside his head brought out a fierce light in his eyes. With a snap of his sharp canine teeth, the sound was accompanied by the grating of teeth. "I want to see who you really are, come out now."

Saying so, Martial Vault Demon’s figure flickered, ghost-like, turning into multiple afterimages. In the next second, he appeared directly in front of the screen and tore at it with his hand.

"Rip"

The screen shattered from the middle, exploding outwards.

However, behind the split screen, there was no figure at all.

Instead, not far away in the darkness, appeared another identical screen with the same shadow of a candle quietly standing behind it, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

The ferocity of Martial Vault Demon unabated, the air under his feet exploded repeatedly as he surged forward again.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

One after another, screens shattered.

But the shadow of the candle always seemed close, as if it had never moved.

The golden vertical pupils of Martial Vault Demon finally flickered weakly, the fierce light subsided. Even a fool would realize something was amiss by now.

How big could this inn room be?

He had been leaping around but covered quite a distance, and yet he couldn’t even touch the shadow of his opponent.

Could it be that he had entered the opponent’s Illusion Technique space and was actually going around in circles, like hitting a wall of ghosts?

His golden pupils shimmered with malevolence, and strangely, the golden threads inside his pupils moved like worms, then creepily drilled outwards, expanding in mid-air to the size of a basketball. They then transformed at an astonishing speed into two golden butterflies.

In the dark room, the golden butterflies emitted golden light, hovering and dancing gracefully.

As they danced, their wings scattered sparkling golden powder, dispersing the darkness and illuminating the area.

However, soon, the butterflies flew further and further, as if they couldn’t find the end of the room.

Seeing this, Martial Vault Demon recalled the butterflies which turned into two streaks of golden light, darting back while he quickly retreated.

This is not an illusion!

This is another space.

Martial Vault Demon thought of a possibility. Under the silver mask, the demonic eyes with golden fire flickered with shock, and he quickly retreated towards the door.

The Li family’s Martial Storage also sensed the weirdness of this place and followed Martial Vault Demon without hesitation toward the door of the room.

However, they encountered the same situation, the door seemed close by, yet it was as unreachable as if they were running towards a mountain, forever at a distance.

"Cough cough, you come as you wish and leave as you wish, how can that be possible?"

"Go!"

A faint cough carrying a heavy and deadly aura, chilling to the bone.

Martial Vault Demon and Li family’s Martial Storage turned their heads.

Behind the screen, a withered candle shadow raised its hand and the candle flame behind the screen suddenly rose, like a sun in the sky.

In an instant, the darkness dispersed and a blazing fire flared up rapidly, swallowing the darkness and sweeping toward Martial Vault Demon and Li Boya of the Li family, the intense heat causing their skin to rapidly crack and peel.

The candle flame transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow, shrieking and flapping its wings, pulling up devouring flames to swallow both of them.

Li family’s Martial Storage felt as if he was facing a real Three-legged Golden Crow, the terrifying heat causing his skin to sting. A thought of Li family’s Great General’s presence rose in his mind.

He couldn’t help but softly exclaim,

"Is this the power of Dragon and Tiger Creation?"

As he spoke, the aura on his body swelled, and a Primordial Spirit Light bloomed from the top of his skull against the wind. His palms met, and the surging flames were resisted by the Dharma Image Spirit Light, spreading to both sides.

"It’s Half-step Dragon and Tiger!" Martial Vault Demon growled. His black robe with golden lines swelled and contracted, Demonic Qi billowed, blocking the flowing fire. Then, dense and grim scales erupted from his flesh, and a horn protruded from his forehead, splitting a black thunder that scattered the flowing fire.

Then, with a swish, the sharp horn on his head seemed to tear a slot in the void, revealing a streak of daylight.

Martial Vault Demon was about to fly away!

But in the next second, a giant golden claw reached out direct

And on the other side, a muffled groan.

Li Family’s Martial Storage was also hit by the claws of the Three-legged Golden Crow, whose Primordial Spirit was slapped back into his body, causing his breath to shake and stagger back a dozen steps.

And all this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Please hold, Central Plains Li Family’s Li Boya at your service, our Family Head is the current Sima Li Lin Kong!"

Seeing that the giant claw was about to strike again, Li Boya finally declared his name and revealed his identity.

This was both an act of submission and revealing their trump card to make the opponent hesitant.

The golden giant claw hung over Li Boya’s head, and a laughter like a bellows ensued,

"Heh heh, that’s more like it. You come here and announce your name, yet still need this old man to teach? Even if your family head Li Lin Kong were here, the old man would still need to discuss things with him, I am still a few years older than him."

Li Boya was slightly startled when he heard this; it seemed that the figure behind the screen knew Sima, and his seniority in the Worldly society was not small.

"And what about you?"

The voice then shifted towards the Human Demon who had reverted back to human form.

The Human Demon realized he had kicked an iron plate this time, the fierce glint in his eyes fading,

"Chengsheng Land, Ren Tianxing!"

The Human Demon finally stated his name.

"Oh?" The Fang Family Ancestor behind the screen was clearly surprised, seemingly recognizing this place.

The next second, the Three-legged Golden Crow exploded, and the pervasive flames also disappeared in an instant.

A brightly lit room appeared, as if everything prior was just an illusion.

But both Li Boya and Human Demon Ren Tianxing knew that the one behind the screen was an old monster, already halfway into the Dragon Tiger Realm, with a touch on the threshold of understanding the Creation Divine Power.

The scene just now was them within the scope of the other’s Creation Divine Power, nearly completely suppressed without the ability to fight back.

Although they had gone there on their own accord, the gap between them was not to be underestimated.

At this point, the Fang Family Ancestor behind the screen spoke faintly,

"Enough, this old man doesn’t care who you are or what your purpose here is."

"But I will say this—"

"That local Mountain Patrol Military Officer cannot be touched, and the citizens of Qingshan County also cannot be meddled with; this old man has uses for them."

"Once this old man obtains what he desires, you can wreak whatever havoc you want. However, if you two meddle with the old man’s affairs, this dying man will not treat you lightly."

These light words were accompanied by a coughing sound, the figure behind the screen seemed like an elderly man on his deathbed, but the words made both Human Demon Ren Tianxiao and Li Boya’s expressions twitch.

"See the guests out!"

"This old man is also tired!"

With that said, the burly man who had clashed with the Human Demon earlier in the room walked out from the side,

"Please go."

Human Demon Ren Tianxiao and Li Boya could only leave with varied expressions after hitting a wall.

And just as the three Martial Vaults in Qingshan County were secretly crossing swords and harboring thoughts; to the east outside Qingshan County in the mountains, two women stood side-by-side!

It was precisely Lian Ni Chang and Fang Qingzhu!

At this moment, in front of them was a group of Mountain Spirits and Wild Demons.

White Ape, Mountain Pig, Tree Spirit... about thirteen or fourteen in total, each strangely shaped, with a general aura of the First or Second Realm.

"Pass down my command, search for the trace of this old man in the Eight Hundred Miles Langdang Mountain!"

"Any slight movement, inform me."

"Go!"

Lian Ni Chang held a stack of sketches of Old Wu imitated by the County Government, issuing orders to her Contracted Demons.

In the city, the County Government had already issued a missing person notice; right now, her task was to search in the mountains outside, despite the slim hope.

Saying that, she casually threw the sketch in her hand, the Contracted Demons catching it quickly and scattering into the forest upon receiving the command.

"Little Hua, Little Bai, both of you have mingled here before and should be familiar with Langdang Mountain, you go too, see if you can help a bit."

Next to her, Fang Qingzhu turned her head to address the two tiny figures perched on her shoulder.

The Little Squirrel and White Fox nodded upon hearing this, and with a "swoosh" sound, they dashed into the forest.

"Miss Lian, finding the elderly man is important, but so is your safety. There’s a Demon casting Gu in the city, could be a major threat. By taking this action, these beings will definitely notice, you might as well come with me and stay in the inn," Fang Qingzhu saw the two little creatures disappear into the forest and then turned to face Lian Ni Chang, whose red dress fluttered and hair stirred, persuading her to pay attention to her safety.

"Miss Fang has already helped me a lot, Ni Chang is grateful. However, I cannot hide now, I must control the situation and also send out messages, hoping to contact my brother."

"I need to send a message to White Emperor City immediately and secretly deploy manpower!"

"Farewell."

With that, the woman briskly departed.

Fang Qingzhu watched her turn around, wanting to say something but hesitating, finally sighing.

It seemed that the other party was still unaware of Brother Chen’s circumstances.
