Chapter 2707: Attack When They Must Rescue

“Lion Spirit,” who had been flying majestically in the sky, looking down at everyone with eyes that saw them as mere ants, stumbled upon hearing these words and nearly plummeted from the air.

The surrounding demon race members were dumbfounded. The men each wore mysterious, knowing smiles, while the women blushed deeply and secretly cursed.

From her side, Yun Jianyue opened her mouth, and after a long moment, uttered four words: “It could only be him!”

Yan Xuehen’s cheeks flushed slightly; this guy’s focus was so peculiar.

Yu Yanluo, on the other hand, glanced at them both in surprise. According to the rumors she had gathered previously, these two were not easy-going. Anyone who dared to crack such a joke in front of them would lose half their life, if not die. Yet now, even though they were all familiar with each other, neither showed any sign of anger.

At this moment, Lion Spirit recovered, his gaze turning cold: “The game is over. You, who do not know your place, dared to lay a murderous hand on a Lion Clan Prince. If you commit suicide now to atone, I might leave you a complete corpse. Otherwise...”

He didn't finish what would happen otherwise, but the threat was palpable.

Zu An sighed, “Your brother and you may not be skilled with your hands, but your verbal skills are certainly top-notch.”

Princess Soren, Qiao Heng, and the others looked bewildered. How dare he speak to Xishi like that?

But then they remembered how he had dealt with Lion Spirit earlier, and realized that this confrontational style was typical of him.

Although this man was formidable, he was likely still far inferior to the long-renowned Xishi.

While Lion Spirit was excellent, he was young and hadn't cultivated for long. His elder brother, however, had no such shortcomings.

It was well-known that Lion Spirit had gained a miraculous encounter by falling off a cliff as a child, but his elder brother had a similar miraculous encounter every single year.

All members of the demon race considered him a person of great destiny. Such a person, barring accidents, would inevitably become a Grandmaster in the future, and even had a high chance of breaking through to Earth Immortal.

The others clearly didn't favor Zu An either, but his demonstrated combat power had been considerable. Everyone's eyes were wide, hoping to seize the opportunity to witness Xishi's techniques. Ideally, Xishi would be forced to reveal more of his hidden abilities, allowing their clan's experts to be better prepared if they ever faced him in the future.

At this moment, Lion Spirit in the sky's eyes turned cold: “You have successfully enraged me. Very well, I grant you death.”

Rage value from Shi Qian: 444444444...

No sooner had he finished speaking than he raised a finger, and a ray of golden light shot forth.

The nearby demon race members, even from a distance, felt the destructive power within the light, and their hearts were filled with dread. This was merely a wisp of Xishi's divine sense, yet it possessed such immense power with a mere gesture. If they were to face him, wouldn't they be instantly defeated?

“Heavenly Core Killing Finger!” Princess Soren, with her special status, naturally had superior knowledge and immediately recognized it as a unique technique Xishi had acquired during a miraculous encounter in his youth.

Over the years, countless masters had been suppressed and killed by this single finger, its power truly astonishing.

Lion Spirit's timing for his attack was exquisite; he struck exactly when Zu An and the women behind him were in a straight line. If Zu An were to dodge, the women behind him would suffer.

If Zu An were to take it head-on, the Heavenly Core Killing Finger would inflict considerable damage even on the other Four Absolutes. What was this guy in front of him compared to them?

Indeed, Zu An did not dodge or evade, just as expected. He slowly raised his hand, his palm becoming somewhat indistinct, and the surrounding air and light seemed to twist. Then, the golden ray of light was directly absorbed into his palm.

Princess Soren and Qiao Heng nearly cried out in alarm. To catch such a killing move bare-handed, not to mention the hand, perhaps even the entire arm might not be saved.

However, to their astonishment, the golden ray of light immediately vanished, as if it had never appeared at all.

Meanwhile, Lion Spirit in the sky reacted as if facing a great enemy, quickly dodging aside, but a streak of blood still appeared on his face.

He abruptly turned back to Zu An: “What was that move you just used!”

He had witnessed the previous finger-wind move when the opponent broke his brother's Raging Lion Overlord Fist, so that wasn't unexpected.

The reason he nearly got hit was merely due to being momentarily distracted by overwhelming shock.

It was catching his Heavenly Core Killing Finger bare-handed earlier that had left him utterly bewildered, even making him wonder for a moment if something was wrong with the world.

From a distance, Yan Xuehen's lips curved slightly upwards. Zu An possessed a powerful absorbing force. When she had tried to kill him previously, most of her attacks had been dissolved by this strange suction. Otherwise, how could he have lasted so long under a Grandmaster's assault?

If he could even withstand her attacks, what was a mere junior expert of the demon race?

Zu An naturally wouldn't reveal his Gluttonous Heaven Devouring Art. He grinned and said, “Want to know? Beg me!”

Lion Spirit's breath hitched. How could this person be so cheap?!

Rage value from Shi Qian: 499499499...

His expression turned cold, and his entire body blazed with dazzling golden light, so terrifying that it was impossible to look at directly with the naked eye. The aura felt as if a doomsday calamity was about to descend.

The faces of the young demon experts all turned pale. They were all outstanding individuals from their respective clans, and many had even felt indignant about not being selected as one of the Five Absolutes, believing they could compete with them.

It was only now that they finally gave up hope, realizing they couldn't even compare to a mere wisp of Xishi's divine sense; the gap was simply too vast.

The fat man, Wu Liang, quickly formed hand seals, seemingly calculating something. Gradually, a faint smile appeared on his face: “Someone is likely to suffer a great fall this time.”

At this moment, Lion Spirit moved. His Heavenly Core Killing Finger had just been dissolved by the strange vortex on the opponent's hand, so another long-range attack would be utterly unwise.

He charged directly towards Zu An, like a meteor falling from outer space. Raising his hand, he unleashed forty-nine phantom lions.

Raging Lion Overlord Fist – this was the Lion Clan's signature technique, unparalleled in its ferocity!

Lion Spirit's earlier nine phantom lions had already astonished everyone; now, unleashing forty-nine directly, the surrounding demon race members were numb with shock.

The entire ground sank under the pressure of his fist winds, and the trees on it snapped simultaneously, while large rocks were pulverized.

Yun Jianyue frowned, and with a wave of her hand, an inexplicable aura appeared around her, protecting the two women beside her.

Although Yu Yanluo's Medusa's Eyes had a power that even Grandmasters would be wary of, her physical body was not known for its toughness and might not withstand the assault. Yan Xuehen, on the other hand, was too heavily injured.

At this moment, Yu Yanluo smiled at her: “Sister Yun, you are injured; let me handle this.”

As she spoke, a luminous scroll unfurled and enveloped the women. In that instant, they seemed to be in a special space, completely cut off from the world they had just been in.

Yun Jianyue's eyes lit up: “A world within a painting! This seems to have the style of the Academy's Libationer. So, you are that mysterious disciple, Hua.”

Yan Xuehen also gave her another look, having already known this when she fought her previously.

Yu Yanluo was slightly surprised: “Sister Yun's insight is truly exceptional. Indeed, I hope you can help me keep this a secret.”

Yun Jianyue slung an arm around her shoulder: “Don't worry. Since you call me 'sister,' how could I refuse?”

As for Lion Spirit outside, his heart skipped a beat. What was going on with those two women? Each of them possessed unfathomably profound techniques.

However, he had no time to worry about them now; he needed to subdue this man first.

Forty-nine mighty lions roared deafeningly, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Behind Zu An, rings of azure ripples appeared, followed by streaks of sword qi, condensed from the void, shooting out from within.

At first, the golden phantom lions roared and resisted the azure sword qi, but they quickly crumbled, unable to hold on, pierced by countless sword strikes and nailed in mid-air.

After all, this was not Xishi's true body. How could it contend with Zu An's Azure Luan Sword Formation?

Witnessing this dazzling scene, the other demon experts were spellbound. This guy could actually defeat Xishi?

Even if it was just a wisp of divine sense, everyone had clearly witnessed how terrifying its oppressive power was just moments ago.

Princess Changning's breathing quickened. This man was even more powerful than she had imagined; she absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

Princess Soren's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance; the elegance of that last move was truly handsome.

At the same time, a thought stirred within her: this move felt somewhat familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere before.

At this moment, Lion Spirit directly shifted sideways through the void. He knew that in his current state, he was no match for the opponent. Although unwilling, he decisively chose to escape.

Zu An naturally wasn't willing to let him go just like that and was about to give chase. However, he saw Lion Spirit remotely pull several Lion Clan subordinates into the air, throwing some towards Yu Yanluo and the other women, and others towards Princess Soren and Qiao Heng.

While observing coldly from his brother's body earlier, not to mention Yu Yanluo and the other women, Princess Soren had repeatedly offered warnings, and Qiao Heng had also been saved by him. There must be some connection between them. This move was called "attacking what they must save."

The bodies of those Lion Clan subordinates exploded with a 'bang,' turning into plumes of blood mist, each containing immense power.

“Blood Burst Art!” The demon race members all changed color. This was an extremely malicious cultivation technique. The explosive power was already terrifying, but even if one could withstand the explosion, merely touching a trace of the blood mist would cause the body to continuously rot, eventually transforming into a puddle of pus and blood.
