Chapter 654 Military Remonstrance
Jiang Li Gege laughed and said, "Take a few more of my sword strikes!"
She took out a sword talisman that Xie Chang'an had given her and threw it at the Demon Emperor.
The sword talisman exploded in mid-air, and the icy, bone-chilling sword light suddenly burst forth. Several condensed sword energies roared out, each carrying a fierce gale to slay demons and monsters, slashing towards the vital points around the Demon Emperor's body.
The Demon Emperor sneered, "Even a grain of rice can shine!"
He then let out a deafening roar, and black energy surged around him, condensing into a huge shield.
On the shield, a huge snake head opened its blood-red maw, its forked tongue hissing and emitting a chilling aura that devoured all the sword energy that was attacking the demon emperor.
Jiang Li was not discouraged at all. With a flick of her wrist, another sword talisman flew out.
Xie Chang'an is right here. How much do you want?
The Demon Emperor was having a headache. Just how many sword talismans had Chonghua Zhenjun inscribed for her?
As the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant." Although True Monarch Chonghua's cultivation level was a major level lower than his, he was still a genuine Nascent Soul sword cultivator. He couldn't handle this endless barrage of sword talismans.
The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the heavens and earth as sword energy collided with the snake-head shield, bursting into dazzling sparks.
Those righteous and awe-inspiring sword lights were able to tear apart the chilling aura exhaled by the snake's head, leaving deep sword marks on the shield.
In just a few breaths, the snake-head shield became covered with cracks, and finally, with a "crack," it shattered into countless black wisps and dissipated into the world.
The Demon Emperor, enraged to the extreme, laughed, a laugh chilled with icy killing intent. His vertical pupils were devoid of any mockery, only filled with a brutal ferocity capable of crushing everything in their path.
Today, I'm going to teach this arrogant little brat a lesson and show her what a true primordial demon is!
He let out a long roar, the sound like thunder, piercing straight through the clouds.
The black aura around him suddenly surged, instantly transforming into the original form of the Teng Snake.
The snake's body was winding and hundreds of feet long, its scales were black and golden, each one like an indestructible black iron shield, reflecting a cold, eerie light.
Even more terrifying, it had a pair of huge bone wings growing on its back, with veins protruding like a dragon and edges that gleamed with a sharp metallic sheen. As soon as they were spread, they stirred up a raging wind that blotted out the sky and stirred up the thick fog all around.
The enormous snake tail was as thick as a mountain, carrying a world-destroying force as it slammed fiercely towards the Seven Star Demon-Slaying Formation!
"Boom——!"
The moment the snake's tail collided with the array's light barrier, the heavens and earth seemed to collapse.
A piercing buzzing sound echoed across the area, and the seven star marks on the array suddenly dimmed. The array, which had been glowing faintly, developed dense cracks like a spider web, and the entire array was on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Li's face turned deathly pale.
"Tai Xu, hurry!" Xie Chang'an urged.
The Taixu Sword tore through the void, intending to pull Jiang Li inside.
Beyond the thick fog, a tiger's roar suddenly resounded throughout the universe!
The roar was powerful and domineering, carrying the awe-inspiring pressure of the king of beasts. It actually overwhelmed the roar of the demon emperor, causing the surging white mist to pause.
The Phoenix Clan Chief's tense face suddenly relaxed, and joy shone in his eyes. The Qilin Clan Chief even looked up to the sky and let out a clear and melodious cry.
"The White Tiger Clan has arrived!" The Phoenix Clan Chief's voice was full of excitement.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up; reinforcements had arrived!
As soon as the Phoenix Clan Chief finished speaking, the thick fog was violently torn apart by two completely different forces.
A surge of watery energy, vast and boundless, seemed to sweep in with giant waves from all corners of the world. Wherever it passed, the white mist vanished, turning into a sky full of water vapor.
The other flame was a blazing inferno, its golden-red light shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the dim world.
The Qilin clan chief exclaimed with delight, "The Black Tortoise and the Vermilion Bird have arrived too!"
As the thick fog dissipated, the White Tiger Clan Chief appeared on the wind. He was a white tiger with a body comparable to a mountain, and a "King" mark on his forehead shone brightly, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.
The Xuanwu clan chief was covered in tortoise shells, with a snake tail wrapped around his waist, and his feet treading on giant waves. Ancient runes covered the tortoise shells, each one flowing with the vast power of water.
The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief was clad in a fiery battle suit, his wings spread wide, flames swirling around him, and wherever his wingtips swept, the air was ignited, leaving trails of scorching fire.
Upon seeing this, the Demon Emperor's vertical pupils flashed with a hint of surprise and doubt, which quickly turned into fury.
He thought that the spirit-locking demon array he had set up would be able to block out the news, but he did not expect that these old geezers would come after hearing about it!
He instantly reverted to human form, standing in mid-air above the white mist, looking down at the several divine beast clan leaders, and sneered: "What are you all doing? Are you perhaps plotting a rebellion?"
The five clan leaders all transformed back into human form and clasped their hands in unison, saying, "We had no such intention."
The Phoenix Clan Chief said, "We are only concerned about the safety of the young master and humbly request Your Majesty to postpone the wedding until the young master wakes up before making any further plans."
The other clan leaders echoed in unison, "Your Majesty, please prioritize the safety of the young ruler!"
The Demon Emperor was so angry he almost laughed. He was just going to marry a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how did that involve the safety of the young master?
"What if I disagree?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief stood tall with a solemn expression, his voice booming like a bell: "The Dragon Clan is in decline, and the world is without a master. We divine beasts should help each other!"
"The Azure Dragon is the head of the Four Symbols. Now, the dragon bloodline is dwindling, with only one young dragon remaining. This is not only the spark of the dragon race, but also the hope of the entire demon race! My White Tiger clan will definitely protect it to the end, and we will never back down even if we fight to the last man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuanwu Clan Chief slowly nodded, his voice steady: "The White Tiger Clan Chief is absolutely right. That young dragon possesses pure dragon blood. When it grows up, it will surely lead the demon race to new glory. My Xuanwu Clan has led all its elites here, vowing to protect the young master's safety until death!"
The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief also took flight, his expression one of unwavering resolve, as if determined to burn everything in his path: "My Vermilion Bird Clan shares this same sentiment! Today, even if we are to sacrifice our own rebirth in flames, we will protect our young master!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's body surged with black energy, and his vertical pupils stared intently at the five divine beast patriarchs below, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.
"So, you're planning a military coup?"
"If Your Majesty insists on going your own way, we will have no choice but to stage a military remonstrance!"
The Phoenix Clan Chief stepped forward, looking intently at him, his tone respectful yet firm.
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of the demon race, you should prioritize its survival. The safety of the young lord is crucial to the future of the demon race. We beg Your Majesty to rescind your decree and not destroy the demon race's centuries-old foundation due to a moment of anger!"
The Demon Emperor's chest heaved violently, clearly still trying his best to suppress his anger.
He speaks so grandly, but what he's really up to is obvious to everyone.
These old fogies must already know that Jiang Li and the young dragon have formed a life-bound contract, and whoever can obtain her can control the young dragon!
If they knew that this Beast Taming Sect disciple also possessed a rare Immaculate Spirit Body...
The Demon Emperor suppressed his anger with all his might, his eyes narrowed as he coldly surveyed everyone present.
