The three demons united and clustered together. Deng Chanyu unleashed a bolt of lightning to repel the fox spirit, while the other two demons charged up menacingly.
They were preparing to outnumber and overpower the others. The phoenix spirit waved her long sleeve, and an evil wind instantly roared, raising dust and sand, blowing away stones, enveloping half of Su's village in a dense aura of demons.
"But just an ordinary wild Taoist, sister. Let's help you!"
"But wait, don't!" The fox spirit sensed something amiss and tried to call back her companions, but the two sisters had already jumped ahead, riding on the demon winds.
She could only transform into a human form, wielding dual swords, and launched an attack from the side.
Deng Chanyu was blocked from seeing half of the sky by the sandstorm. The wind used was ordinary, and she immediately recited the Wind-Stabilizing Art, which stopped the wind instantly. The three figures were exposed clearly without the cover of demon wind.
One held dual knives, one carried twin swords, and another had her hands clenched around the cranes' blades.
Deng Chanyu held the spear with one hand, blocking the cranes' blade, pressing down on the opponent's blade and swinging it to the side, causing the wielder of the cranes' blade to collide with the one carrying twin swords. Afterward, she drew out her iron staff, striking out with a forceful wind that hit the fox spirit's waist horizontally.
There was a dull thud as the impact felt wrong, as if only half the blow had connected and had been dodged by some kind of stand-in spell.
The swordsman's attack angle was cunning and snake-like, one stab to the throat and another to the heart.
Deng Chanyu's skills in the Ninth Heaven and Earth had just entered the beginner stage, and she wasn't at the level of Yang Jian who could harden his face to withstand harm. If she were to be stabbed in a vital area, she would still die. She abandoned pursuit of the fox spirit and retrieved her iron staff, reversed it, and used it to deflect a long sword. She raised her left foot and stepped on another long sword. Then, facing directly in front of her in a conical range, she spat out a blazing red sun god fire.
"Puff!" The one wielding twin swords was none other than the nine-headed phoenix. Despite being of the bird race, she relied on her millennium-long cultivation to withstand the phoenix pressure emanating from Deng Chanyu at all times.
But she could not withstand the divine abilities of the phoenix clan.
At this very moment, she was in a worse state than the Jin Xing Sun who was previously scorched by the Red Sun God Fire. The flames wrapped her from top to bottom, like a cocoon, enveloping her entirely.
Deng Chanyu took another breath, increasing the output of the flames, preparing to burn the nine-headed phoenix spirit to death directly.
In less than two breaths, the nine-headed phoenix spirit revealed its true form. It writhed on the ground in pain, the flames grew stronger and stronger, and half of its feathers had been burned off. Three of the nine heads had already been burned black, and it looked like it would die on the spot.
The three demons were still somewhat loyal. The one wielding the cranes' blade was a thousand-year-old jade lute spirit. Seeing her companion in danger, she immediately turned into her true form, and the strings of the lute began to vibrate on their own, emitting waves of sound that swelled towards Deng Chanyu like a tidal wave.
Deng Chanyu had been grinding stones day and night, and she was usually highly resistant to abnormal states. However, the lute spirit had also undergone a thousand years of cultivation, and with her own characteristics, her playing was even more effective than the jade lute of Mo Lihai. Caught off guard, Deng Chanyu felt dizzy and disoriented, her mind filled with annoyance. The Red Sun God Fire was interrupted, the phoenix spirit narrowly escaped death, and now lay on the ground, breathing more out than in.
The level of the three demons from the Xuanyuan Mausoleum surpassed Deng Chanyu's expectations.
"Go to hell! I will kill you!" She took out the Pian-Shi Stone and, without any particular technique, simply threw it at the jade lute spirit that was playing a languorous melody.
"Pian-Shi Stone?!!" Seeing the enemy suddenly pull out a large treasure that glowed with five colors, the nine-tailed fox spirit, with the widest experience, recognized the origin of the Pian-Shi Stone and was completely stunned. Who are we fighting here?
In a critical moment, she pushed the jade lute spirit and barely managed to avoid a direct hit. Her arm was broken on the spot. The jade lute spirit's true form was hit by the residual force and several cracks appeared on its surface, breaking three of the four strings.
"We are also the lady's people. Please be gentle, enlightened one!" Shouted the nine-tailed fox spirit. Without waiting for Deng Chanyu's response, she fled with her two heavily injured sisters on the demon wind. She ran at an incredible speed, and in a blink of an eye, she was over ten paces away.
"Want to run?! Leave it to me!"
Deng Chanyu discarded her long spear and took out the Heaven and Earth Bow and Thunderbolt Arrows. The bow exuded a faint green aura, and the three thunderbolt arrows were just right for dealing with the three demons. She bent her bow, aiming her arrow with her fingers.
For ordinary generals, it's impossible to shoot one arrow with three arrows. Moreover, the three demons were in three different positions within the demon wind, and to hit them all was as unrealistic as shooting stars.
However, Deng Chanyu could do it. Her natural eyesight was extremely sharp, and the phoenix's division further enhanced her vision.
As the three demons ran out more than a hundred steps, Deng Chanyu pulled the string of the bow to its maximum, and then released it suddenly.
The arrow on the left had the most erratic flight path, appearing and disappearing, and when it fully manifested, it precisely entered from behind and emerged from the front heart of the nine-headed phoenix spirit.
The bloodied arrowhead was dragging heart fragments, and with the phoenix spirit already severely wounded, she spurted blood all over and fainted directly.
The arrow on the right pierced through the jade lute spirit, and even the remaining string was cut off by the arrowhead. A large hole was created in the main body of the lute, and its jade luster on the surface almost completely disappeared. The trend was that it would crack completely.
The middle arrow rotated and accelerated in mid-air, transforming into a flickering illusion of a fiery phoenix. Just as it was about to catch up with the fox spirit, a hand appeared in mid-air, accompanied by a sigh. The middle finger of the hand curled, and with a flick of the wrist, it changed the arrow's flight direction.
"Here it is back to you. Don't throw away treasures carelessly." With a wave of her hand, the Thunderbolt Arrows that were still hanging inside the nine-headed phoenix spirit, as well as the other two arrows, converged together and flew towards Deng Chanyu at an incredible speed, seeming slow but actually quick.
Deng Chanyu was startled and hurriedly used fire dodging technique to avoid it. By the time she ran half a li back and looked back, she realized that the Thunderbolt Arrows were slanted and inserted into the place where she had just stood. The owner of the hand raised a whirlwind and took away the three demons from Xuanyuan Mausoleum.
Who is this person? Their cultivation seems terrifyingly high, and even with all her treasures, she has very little room to resist.
But she could guess that the other party was definitely afraid, or even terrified of Nuwa, so they just threatened her twice without daring to make a move.
Deng Chanyu sheathed the Heaven and Earth Bow and the Thunderbolt Arrows, saying nothing fierce, but rather secretly noting this incident, waiting to settle the cause and effect later on!
......
Nuwa's Palace.
Nuwa was seated on a cloud bed, and the rules on her side were not as strict as those of the Primeval Venerable. As an old friend, the Spirit Saint Bai Ze had a designated place in the hall.
At this moment, Bai Ze said with two points of flattery: "The lady's high disciple is indeed impressive and has proven himself as a hero on earth. In the realm of immortals, he can open up the way or break it off."
Nuwa remained silent with her eyes closed, as if she had been for a long time before she spoke lightly, "You shouldn't have provoked her... She is narrow-minded..."
Bai Ze was at a loss for words at once, and Nuwa continued with another sentence, "Bai Ze, my heart is actually not that broad."
