Gateway of Immortality

Chapter 1145: Rout

The commotion created by the Azure Luan phantom was far too enormous. The demonic beasts had already noticed it. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

If they delayed even a step, they would be easy prey. The falcon demon had been restrained by Qin Sang and could not move. He could not run even if he wanted to. Yet Qin Sang remained unmoved, and the falcon demon grew so anxious that he practically burst into flames.

Qin Sang snapped awake and knew he had to leave. He could not break through here.

When he had endured the impact of the Azure Luan’s power, he sensed a chance to break through. The Heavenly Demon Body Refinement had a strong possibility of advancing to the fourth layer. But comprehending the Heavenly Demon Dharma Lakshana required time. It could not be achieved in a single leap.

In the middle of his breakthrough, Demon King Qianji would have arrived.

"Let's go!" Qin Sang decided at once.

His expression hardened as he suppressed the Azure Luan’s power with all his strength and stabilized the phoenix wings.

Fortunately, the Sky-Eyed Butterfly was also absorbing that power and sharing the burden. For the moment, Qin Sang could still hold on. He forced himself to split his focus, silently reciting the art to comb through the chaotic forces inside him while he fled for his life.

His figure flashed and he appeared at the vault's entrance in an instant.

Within the azure evasion light, threads of silver shimmered, accompanied by crackling lightning. The speed was so fast that even Qin Sang was caught off guard.

"This is Lightning Evasion..." Qin Sang froze. After his wings had fused with the Azure Luan’s power, he had somehow comprehended the Lightning Evasion supernatural ability without a teacher.

It was an unexpected windfall. His evasion speed had become even faster than before.

However, this state could not last long. The Azure Luan’s power could lose control at any moment and shatter his phoenix wings.

"Big Brother! Great Lord! You and I have no grudge. Please show mercy and undo the barrier on me. I don’t need you to worry about me. I can run on my own!" The falcon demon abruptly changed his tone and begged pitifully.

He had just been cursing a moment ago, and now he was calling Qin Sang "Great Lord."

This kid truly knows how to bend when he needs to. Qin Sang thought.

Qin Sang could not bear to look at him. With a flick of his finger, he released the barrier on the falcon demon and rushed straight out of the tunnel. He saw that the favored concubine’s room had already collapsed into ruins, dust billowing everywhere.

Keeping the falcon demon alive meant Qin Sang could question him about Endless Valley later and search for the Infinite Blood Mulberry Wood. No one ever thought the Ten Divine Woods were too many.

But it was impossible to take the falcon demon along. Whether he survived would depend on how tough his life was.

Freed at last, the falcon demon followed close behind Qin Sang as he shot out of the tunnel.

His gaze flickered. Only now did he realize that the aura within Qin Sang’s body carried an immense temptation to him, making his entire bloodline tremble with excitement.

The Azure Luan phantom inside the slab had been the true thing that had drawn him. But the falcon demon only wanted to live now. He had no thoughts of treasure.

The lesser demons sensed something wrong and rushed over while shouting wildly.

Qin Sang did not pause for even an instant. He locked onto the exit of the array.

"You’re seeking death!" The white-feathered eagle was the first to spot Qin Sang, and he flew into a furious rage.

He had been ordered to guard the demon king’s cave dwelling, yet a thief had slipped in at this very moment. Worse still, the place where trouble erupted made his head feel like it would explode. It was the favored concubine’s cave dwelling!

He did not even know whether the favored concubine was dead or alive.

When he imagined the demon king’s wrath and the fate awaiting him, the white-feathered eagle wanted nothing more than to swallow the intruder alive.

Whoosh! A white blur charged in. The lesser demons were left far behind.

Qin Sang felt a fierce gust of wind sweep toward him as the white-feathered eagle intercepted his path.

The white-feathered eagle let out a shriek. It shook the clouds, brimming with fury. Demonic qi erupted. His talons were like swords, and his wings were like long sabers.

The white-feathered eagle split into countless afterimages in an instant. Blade light and sword shadows flooded the sky, a terrifying spectacle.

The Azure Luan’s power inside Qin Sang could explode at any time. He urgently needed to escape and find a place to break through. There was no chance he would hold back. frёeωebɳovel.com

Swish! Sword light shot outward, swift as a meteor.

A warning surged in the white-feathered eagle’s heart. Before he could react, the void ahead was filled with icy points of light. Then he discovered in horror that his offensive had been dismantled in an instant, and he was struck by sword force.

Sword force suppressed his mind at once. His body stiffened, and terror flooded him.

Bang! A scream rang out.

The white-feathered eagle was knocked flying far away by Qin Sang. Blood scattered across the sky, feathers spinning everywhere. He was heavily injured. At the final moment, he had struggled with all his strength to preserve his life and avoid dying on Qin Sang’s sword.

That was also because Qin Sang had not wanted to waste time on him.

His spiritual sword cleared the way! Qin Sang’s figure did not pause in the slightest.

To the lesser demons, it was only a blur. In the next moment, the intruder had vanished.

Whoosh! Qin Sang rushed out of the grand array, then abruptly changed direction and shot upward.

At that instant, an angry roar like a thunderclap exploded beside his ear, shaking his brain until it buzzed. "Get down here!"

It was Demon King Qianji! Qin Sang’s heart jolted. He had still ended up drawing the demon king’s attention.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a streak of rainbow light tear through the air from the direction of the banquet. Demonic qi surged skyward, and the red radiance blazed, proclaiming the demon king’s towering fury.

As the voice arrived, Qin Sang felt his entire body sink. The demon king’s pressure descended.

At the same time, a mass of gray, shadowy mist condensed in the void. Qin Sang felt as though he had fallen into a swamp. His evasion light dimmed abruptly, and his speed was about to slow.

Qin Sang was beset both within and without.

"Break!" Qin Sang’s face twisted as he shouted himself hoarse.

The ebony sword seemed to sense its master’s urgent emotions. Its sword cry grew sharp and mournful. A sword array formed around Qin Sang in an instant.

Boom! The sword array erupted, and a pillar of light shot into the sky.

The gray mist around him was swept away in a single stroke.

Above the Myriad Serpent Abyss, the guard was extremely strict. Those guards had been preparing to intercept Qin Sang, yet the pillar of light blasted a gap through their formation as well. Their ranks fell into complete disorder. Qin Sang did not look back as he charged straight out of the abyss.

It was deep at night. All was silent, and that calm was shattered.

Inside the abyss, Demon King Qianji had missed his capture once, which far exceeded his expectations. Suspicion flickered in his mind.

This thief felt extremely strange. He clearly radiated an incomparably pure demonic qi, yet his sword arts rivaled those of the most elite human sword cultivators.

His aura was even more peculiar. He did not feel like a Transformation Realm great demon or a Spiritual Infant cultivator, yet he did not fear the demon king’s pressure. He easily dissolved the demon king's supernatural ability. His evasion technique even made Demon King Qianji feel inferior. Such strength should not have belonged to a Core Formation cultivator.

"An injured great demon... or a trap?" Demon King Qianji could not help but let his thoughts run wild.

Suddenly, he recalled that aura. It felt familiar.

"The slab! The Azure Luan! Could he have the Azure Luan bloodline and stolen the slab?"

After obtaining the slab, Demon King Qianji had tried every possible method yet could not fathom its secrets. He had left it in the treasure vault and nearly forgotten about it.

He had never expected that an Azure Luan descendant still existed in the present world. For some reason, word of the mysterious slab had leaked.

Once he confirmed it was not a trap and that a supreme treasure had been stolen, how could Demon King Qianji allow the thief to escape so easily? Cold light flickered in his eyes. He snorted and pursued Qin Sang out of the Myriad Serpent Abyss.

The falcon demon was born with the Lightning Evasion supernatural ability. With Qin Sang drawing all attention, he actually managed to slip out as well.

Even though Qin Sang had undone the barrier on him, the falcon demon felt not the slightest gratitude. After all, Qin Sang had caused this entire mess in the first place.

Still, when he saw Qin Sang drive back the white-feathered eagle, smash through the demon king’s blockade, and escape in one clean sequence, he could not help but marvel at Qin Sang’s strength.
