Chapter 1590 A Different Monster

After hearing these words, the young immortal who had just been kneeling on the ground, under the threat of death, the fierceness in his eyes became even deeper. His gaze was deeply fixed on the leopard woman on the tree trunk as if locking onto a prey. He wiped the blood from his lips with one hand.

The other hand was quietly drawing the array talisman in the dark.

The leopard woman was alert in all directions, but her cultivation was far inferior to that of the young man who was cultivating immortals. A formation behind her quietly appeared and started up. A light lock with the image of subduing demons shot out from the formation like a poisonous snake, and at lightning speed, it tightly wrapped around the ankle of the leopard woman.

It was clearly a rune lock with no substance, but when it touched the skin, it cut deep into the bone like a barbed claw.

A huge and heart-wrenching pain came over her, and the leopard girl screamed, and the blood drained from her face. The immortal power hidden in the talisman seemed to have a very significant restraining effect on the demonic power, and she instantly lost her ability to move. Her body tilted, and she was about to fall from the high tree.

When her fellow tribesmen saw this scene, they reacted and instantly became furious. Their demonic energy surged like a mountain and they roared, wanting to tear these shameless immortal children into pieces.

Life and death are at a critical juncture, and everyone is in an extremely tense psychological state of being in danger. When they feel the surging murderous intent from the demons and fairies behind them, they instantly produce a stress effect. They look around like eagles and wolfs, and each of them uses their own magic weapons and immortal weapons.

Before the enemy even started their campaign of suppression, the two factions had already begun to fight each other out of control.

The young man from the Immortal Clan took advantage of this gap, and rose from the ground as fast as a shadow and lightning. His five fingers were like claws, and the air around his body formed a cage. He flew towards the Leopard Clan woman who had lost her resistance and trapped her.

A tear fell from the leopard girl's eyes in despair. She felt weak all over and clenched her teeth, trying to make a final resistance. However, as soon as the demonic power in her body started to flow, the light lock runes wrapped around her ankles were like a poisonous snake that smelled blood. Its invisible sharp teeth cut deeply into the flesh, hooked the bones and pierced the marrow, and instantly made the demonic power dissipate. She had no chance to resist or struggle.

The murderous intent was approaching.

She closed her eyes in despair, never having imagined that her fellow immortal friends who had been able to chat and laugh and fight side by side in the mountains not long ago, were now even more hideous and terrifying than the evil demons of the True Immortal Sect.

The body fell coldly, and all one could do was wait for death to come.

Just as the young man's sharp claws were about to pierce the girl's chest, a terrifying tiger roar came from the depths of the jungle. Waves of sound like sea tides came over, killing all the trees in the forest and causing the tall grass and trees to fall down one after another.

The young immortal felt a sharp pain in his head, and his mental strength almost collapsed.

In a moment of distraction, a huge black tiger was seen jumping out from the depths of the jungle, casting a huge shadow over everyone's heads.

The sharp tiger claws whistled through the wind and directly crushed the light array. The talisman lock shattered itself and turned into spots of light all over the ground.

The black tiger was filled with murderous aura and blood, completely different from the aura of the demon fairies in Kunlun Mountain. It was like a ferocious war tiger crawling out of the battlefield of purgatory.

However, the giant tiger used its broad back to catch the leopard girl who fell from a high place, and faced the people from the True Immortal Sect who were rushing towards them with spears in hand, and its sharp claws easily tore off the precious clothes and protective gear on them. The siege formation that was difficult to break through even with the combined efforts of everyone was easily opened up by the giant tiger charging in and out.

The smile on Fan Ying's face faded. She looked stern, but there were flames burning in her eyes. In a flash, she was in front of the giant tiger and stopped it.

The small blood-red bell on her waist rang automatically, and the sound was so rapid that it seemed to stir the soul. She stretched out her left hand towards the void and summoned a long purple-red flag out of thin air. The flag had not yet been unfurled, but the majestic power of spiritual magic was slowly surging between the flags.

The black tiger that rushed over, breaking the strong wind, had a hint of human mockery in its eyes. It was too lazy to dodge and directly tore off the flag that Fan Ying was most proud of with one claw in the most primitive and brutal way.

The sharp claws cut three narrow, scarlet bloody wounds on her cheeks.

Fan Ying suddenly stood still on the spot, with a golden light bursting out from his body.

The black tiger narrowed his eyes, leaped up with his huge and majestic body, stepped over her head, and walked away carrying the leopard girl on his back.

In the large army, he saved one person and escaped without any harm.

Fan Ying's face was uncertain. A gold and jade ring on his thumb suddenly broke in his sleeves and fell into the blood-stained snow.

A man also wearing a yellow Taoist robe walked out from beside her. In terms of seniority, he was her senior brother, but in terms of status and position in the sect, this man was slightly inferior to her.

The general commanding the battle this time was Fan Ying, not him.

Bai Xiong frowned and said, "The Master has clearly said that those who can remain clear-headed and unaffected by your evil spirit under the Gu Bell are important experimental subjects and must be brought back alive. I know you have a murderous nature, but the Master has clearly asked to keep someone alive, so I won't let you do whatever you want!"

Fan Ying wiped the blood from the wound on her face. She looked gloomy and cold, and said, "It's not yet your turn to teach me how to do things."

Bai Xiong sneered gloatingly: "I think you are asking for trouble. The battlefield is not a place for you to play with life. If you ruin the leader's plan because of your paranoia, you will suffer the consequences."

He lowered his eyes, and besides gloating, there was also a bit of unwilling jealousy in his eyes. He snorted coldly and continued, "Today's battle should have been a sure win with the Gu Bell, but you even broke the protective spiritual weapon given to you by the leader. If I remember correctly, this jade ring was left to you by the leader to let you deal with the Qingxuan female official, right? I really didn't expect that the spiritual magic was broken by a mere black tiger of unknown origin. This time, when you go back, I wonder how you will explain to the leader?"

Although Bai Xiong was full of sarcasm, he had a tone of indifference and was watching a joke.

  But even though he couldn't see the scene clearly, he could still sense it. If Fan Ying hadn't activated the jade device to protect herself in such a desperate situation, her head would have been crushed into flesh and blood like the fairy guard in the mountain just now, right?

Fan Ying was afraid in his heart, but he sneered: "If we suffer together, we suffer together. If I have to suffer, the first thing I will do is to use you, Senior Brother Bai, as a sacrifice. So why are you so proud here?"

"you!"

Fan Ying glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "Instead of arguing with me about right and wrong, why don't you go and investigate the origins of the black tiger first?"

She lowered her eyelids, and although she was sneering, her mouth corners were gloomy, and her eyes gradually became gloomy. She said lightly: "If I am not mistaken, the tiger just now seemed to be unaffected by the Gu Bell."

Bai Xiong's face changed drastically, and he said in shock, "How is it possible? Since the founding of the True Immortal Sect, all the demon immortals in the mountains who have decent combat power have received the "Spirit Knocking Ceremony" of our sect, and have all been planted with the purple demon Gu raised by the sect leader. How could a black tiger of that level miss it?"

Fan Ying sneered: "You will never imagine how many tricks are hidden in Kunlun Mountain. And from what I see, the aura of the black tiger seems to have some strange differences with the demon fairy clan in the mountain that are hard to explain."

Just now, Senior Brother Bai said that she has a murderous nature.

But in the brief fight just now, she clearly felt the deep hostility coming from the black tiger, which she had never seen before, strange, unknown, and indescribable horror.

The mountains and waters of Kunlun Jingxu cannot support such a monster. But how could such a murderous monster grow to such a level under the nose of the Saint Lady?

This kind of aura is more like the lineage of a demon god...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Fan Ying felt it was extremely absurd.

The lineage of the Demon God might be able to hide from the eyes of the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan, and spread in an unknown corner of the Six Realms.

  But it definitely couldn't be this Kunlun Pure Ruins!

Bai Xiong frowned, but he also realized that something was wrong, but he had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. "There are many rare and exotic animals lurking in Kunlun Mountain. You are so distracted by a black tiger. Aren't you afraid of missing out on important things?"

"Big deal?" Fan Ying raised his eyes and chuckled, saying, "What's the big deal about slaughtering and fighting? Isn't this fun? It's because you are too serious and don't know how to enjoy the fun of war and killing that the leader asked me to lead the troops and command the battle.

It’s just that I don’t like to be disturbed by unexpected things when I’m enjoying myself. I’d like to trouble you to write down what happened today and report it to the Master after you go back. Of course…”

Fan Ying smiled strangely and said, "This is based on the premise that Senior Brother is able to save his life this time."

Bai Xiong said impatiently: "Why don't you go by yourself? It's just a tiger, is it worth mobilizing so many troops?"

"A tiger?" Fan Ying stretched lazily, and she untied a piece of her clothes and wrapped it around the broken battle flag and her right hand. She wrapped it around a few times and tied a knot. She still had that nonchalant smile on her face.

But her fighting spirit was rising steadily. Under Bai Xiong's strange gaze, she raised the flag in her hand.

The True Immortal Sect disciples around them didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw the chief general giving orders, they all lined up and formed battle formations, with a murderous aura rising in their hearts.

However, the target of the battle was not the encircled demon fairies and immortal disciples, but the outer periphery, just like...

They are the ones who are surrounded and hunted.

rustling...

In the dark night, the bushes and grass that were blown down by the wind stood up again with their flexible bodies, swaying gracefully in the wind.

A storm was about to come, and the wind was blowing all over the forest. The snowy forest, which had been silent just a moment ago, had been covered with dark clouds since then, obscuring the moonlight in the sky and the golden sword light under the moonlight. The branches were struggling and swaying left and right in the strong wind, like hideous ghosts, completely losing the "interesting" mood that Fan Ying had just mentioned.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In the darkness, pairs of animal eyes emitting cold luster slowly opened their eyes. They were so dense that they filled the surrounding area without anyone noticing. It was like a pack of wolves hunting and they had already surrounded the place.

But upon closer inspection, the dense crowds that looked like a hunting trap were just an illusion.

The number of beasts that actually surrounded them was actually not that large. Compared to the thousands of disciples of their True Immortal Sect, there were only a dozen beasts surrounding them, scratching and growling.

However, the momentum of these dozen or so horses working together created a magnificent killing atmosphere that could only be felt by thousands of troops.

The giant black tiger carrying the leopard girl on its back stood on a natural rock, its hair fluttering in the wind, showing its majestic demeanor.

Such an arrogant and murderous look is definitely not something that the demon fairies in Kunlun Mountain who have been eating vegetarian food all year round can possess.

Bai Xiong's scalp exploded when he saw this scene. He was so scared that he asked, "When did... there become so many monsters in this mountain?"

Moreover, they are all in the form of animals, and there is not a single monster that has transformed into a human body.

According to common sense, monsters that cannot transform into human form are low-level monsters with low intelligence, and are far inferior to the monster fairies in terms of combat power and talent.

But at this moment, these unknown monsters in front of them have strange auras and the danger they bring to people is far greater than that of the monster fairies.

Bai Xiong's mouth felt dry and bitter. He cautiously pressed his back against Fan Ying's back, and only then did he feel a sense of security.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to see an outline similar to a human figure among the few monsters.

The figure was tall and thin, with a robe that fluttered in the wind, and there was an indescribable mysterious aura.

He swallowed hard and said, "I have never heard that there are so many unknown monsters hiding in Xiaoze Mountain. How could the Queen Mother tolerate their survival until now? How could the Queen Mother not kill such strange creatures?!"

Fan Ying subconsciously touched the stinging sensation on her cheek. There was no fear on her face, only the madness of fighting. She smiled and said, "Instead of making it difficult for myself to think about these things, it is better to think about how to survive well."

"Of course..." Fan Ying said casually, lightly tapping the ground with the sharp end of the flag in his hand.

The deep blood in the snow on the ground turned into crystal icicles that stood up. Her eyes were twisted with madness, the corners of her lips were exaggeratedly raised, and her tone suddenly became extremely crazy and fiery: "I also have to think carefully, how many of these monsters can I kill before I die!"

After living and practicing with Fan Ying for so many years, Bai Xiong had never seen her use the word "death" to describe herself.

His heart trembled. Before the battle even started, he knew very well that it would be almost impossible for their team to escape from the mountain unscathed today.

So when Fan Ying just looked at the mocking and contemptuous words asking him to go back and bring a message, in fact, he had already made plans and intended to leave the few remaining chances for survival to him alone.

Bai Xiong felt a tightness in his chest. He lowered his back and leaned forward against the thin bones of the woman. He suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

He whispered, "You're having such negative thoughts before the fight even begins. This is really unlike you. Don't worry, I counted. There are only seventeen monsters in this battle, but we have a thousand elite soldiers. Even though the monsters are ferocious, they can't defeat us.

"Fan... Fan Ying, don't worry. After this battle, I will send you back to the sect. I know your target is the female official of Qingxuan. If you can kill a right-hand man like the female official of Kunlun, it will be enough for you and my Fan and Bai families to revive and live a glorious life."
