Chapter 167 – The Golden-haired Lion (2/2)

Ye Qingniu roared with saturated anger in his eyes, as his speed accelerated at an unbelievable rate. While the glaring Battle Qi in front of his chest condensed into a cyan ox, it was his battle beast! With an unparalleled disposition, the beast first soared high up in the air, and then flew to the giant golden palm of Yao Xie.

“Fuck, this Demonic Saint is difficult to handle with, plus a leopard race Demonic King… Alright, you four go and keep Yao Xie busy, and I’ll deal with the leopard alone.” The Emperor-Realm cultivator Hua Ruoruo of the Hua Family smiled bitterly, and vanished immediately, after he nodded to the other four. He was going to try to hold down the leopard with his Invisible Technique.

“Long Shaoxiang, Yue Xiangfei, Feng Huo, now it's our turn to impede Yao Xie’s attack! We have to hold on for five minutes before my leader arrives.” Ye Ping gritted his teeth, as he instructed the other Emperor-Realm cultivators from Dragon City, the Yue Family and the Feng Family respectively.

As experienced cultivators, who had all gone through the high risk Prefecture War, they’d developed a discernible eye when it came to the level of cultivation of the enemies.

Yao Xie, also known as the Demonic Evil, had become a Demonic Saint fifty years ago. As for the other two demons, the one on the right side, whose height was well over four meters, was a Demonic Saint as well; the one on the left side, the leopard race demon, was a Demonic King. It was definitely beyond the ability of the young lords and ladies to struggle with these three mighty demons.

- Bang! -

The signal cartridge, after flying in the air for as high as ten meters, exploded violently. The red glaring light immediately ignited the surroundings. In the far away distance, a ground-breaking howl reverberated shortly after the explosion.

“Yao Xie, if you dare to kill Qinghan, I’ll definitely slaughter tens of thousands of demons as his burial sacrifice!” The sound was from Ye Tianlong, the leader of the Ye Family.

……

At the time when Ye Qingniu released his soul power, Ye Tianlong had already sensed their presence. Thus, he had speeded up, in an attempt to praise his long-ignored grandson. But soon, he had sensed the Saint Domain exerted by Ye Qingniu, as well as the damage dealt to it by Yao Xie and two other demons. Following that, he had seen a gigantic golden-haired lion in the air, and a glaring red light. Now, his excitement to meet Qinghan had subsided sharply, because he knew that a crisis was going on.

The glaring red light was from the exclusive signal cartridge thrown by Ye Ping; the golden-haired, shadowy lion, was Yao Xie’s special technique. Being alerted by these clues, Ye Tianlong immediately integrated with his battle beast, and flew towards the scene as fast as he could.

“Hold on! We only have to drag this battle out until my leader arrives!”

Ye Qiang exclaimed from behind Ye Tianlong, he too, had integrated with this battle beast, as he was fully prepared for the upcoming battle. Usually, given their level of cultivation, it wouldn’t take more than two minutes to reach the spot; yet, they had to go through the gravitational field of the Luo Shen Mountain, which would slow down their speed to a large extent. They had estimated, that it would take them at least five minutes to arrive at the scene of the battle.

……

As Ye Tianlong’s howl vibrated in the air, Qinghan, as well as the other young lords and ladies, all took a sigh of relief, for they knew, that Ye Tianlong’s arrival was a signal of their safety. Ye Qingniu was powerful only in attacks, but not in defense. So he alone wasn’t able to protect them all. When his Saint Domain was broken, his defensive ability, his weakness, was clearly exposed

Unlike Ye Qingniu, Ye Tianlong’s defense ability was unrivaled, due to his Bear of the Earth, which was the kind of battle beast that was specialized in defense. If it was Ye Tianlong, who had released the Saint Domain, Yao Xie and his two assistants wouldn’t be able to break it so easily.

Nevertheless, the youngsters of the Ye Family, who were running desperately to escape from the demons, found that their excitement only lasted for a second. The golden palm released by Yao Xie came so powerfully over their heads, as if the air in the surroundings had stopped flowing. It was an obnoxious, suffocating feeling that captured each and every young lord and lady. Some of them even felt as if their heart was about to jump out because of the pressure caused by the palm. Apart from the gravitation, they encountered another hurdle, the golden palm over their heads. Now, being squeezed in between the palm and the gravitational field, they found it hard to move even by half an inch…
