My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Now caught between a wolf in front and a tiger behind!

Two against one, and the coordination between the two Guardian Beasts is impeccable.

One Guardian Beast is responsible for control, the other for attack.

Under the joint efforts of the two Guardian Beasts, he is already in great danger.

"Cannot fight head-on!"

This thought became extremely clear and intense in an instant!

If he continued to fight, he might really fall here today!

What mission, what face, none of it mattered in the face of life and death!

Though filled with indescribable shame and anger, the instinct to survive ultimately prevailed!

"Roar! You forced me to do this!"

The Demon General let out an unwilling roar, a flash of pain in his eyes!

He no longer hesitated, suddenly activating his power core.

Demon Core!

"Boom——!!!"

A dull explosion erupted!

The Demon Core shattered, and the wild, unmatched Demonic Qi surged through his body like a breached flood!

The bones all over his body could not withstand this destructive power, emitting a tooth-aching "crack" as they shattered one by one!

Using this explosive moment, he instantly transformed into a scarlet streak of light, his speed surging to an incredible level!

Incredibly, he used this impact to withstand Liu Li's mountain-splitting blow.

Then he fled towards the distant horizon, ignoring everything!

"Trying to escape?!"

Liu Li shouted, her twelve wings vibrating, the blazing Fire of Destruction rising again, her body ready to pursue.

"Liu Li, come back."

Gu Xing's calm voice rang out just in time.

Gu Xing watched the direction where the Demon General disappeared, his gaze profound.

As a Totem Tier Nine Demon Race member, it would be somewhat difficult for Liu Li and Vera to hold him without getting hurt.

Moreover, if they tarried here too long, and if the Demon God Abyss found out...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The immediate need is to enter the Forbidden Land and find Qing Shuang.

Just then, a series of staggering footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

Yuan and Qing came forward with difficulty, supporting each other.

Both were severely injured, their auras weak, but their gazes at Gu Xing were filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

"Gu Xing, thank you for saving our lives!" Qing spoke first.

"Had you not arrived in time, today the Clan Leader and I might have..."

Hearing this, even Yuan cast a grateful look at Gu Xing.

He was not afraid of death, only of never seeing his two granddaughters again.

Seeing the two attempting to courtesy, Gu Xing hurriedly stopped them.

"Clan Leader Yuan, Uncle Qing! No need for formalities among us."

"Qing Shuang's situation is dire, so I'll be brief."

Because Gu Xing felt that in his mind, the contract link regarding Qing Shuang had weakened yet again.

"Clan Leader Yuan, Uncle Qing, the Demon Race has already discovered this place, so it's not safe to stay."

"You should head to the Human Race territory, I will bring Qing Shuang out from the Forbidden Land!"

Hearing this, Qing and Yuan exchanged a glance.

They both knew there was nothing they could really contribute by staying.

Even...

With their injuries, they might even become a burden.

After a moment of thought, they both agreed to Gu Xing's proposal.

"Then Gu Xing, we'll leave Qing Shuang to you."

But Gu Xing shook his head.

"Qing Shuang is my Guardian Beast, this is what I should do."

After that, Gu Xing bid farewell to the two, diving headlong into the Forbidden Land with a few Guardian Beasts.

...

Meanwhile.

In the deepest part of the Ghost Race's Forbidden Land.

The scene here is vastly different from the desolate silence of the outer regions.

It is not the darkness one might expect, but rather like a forgotten ancient battlefield relic.

The sky is perpetually dark red, as if stained by dried blood.

The ground is cracked, scattered with broken weapons and enormous, unknown skeletal remains.

The air is thick with an unbreakable stench of blood and a deep, bone-penetrating will to kill.

Qing Shuang trudged forward on this blood-red earth.

Her once cool and serene face now marked by exhaustion, her blue hair slightly disheveled, even stained with dark red blood.

But those eyes, sharper and colder than ever.

A dense, nearly tangible aura of Slaughter Law swirled around her like a crimson mist.

With each step, she left behind a shallow imprint exuding killing intent.

She had lost count of how many Demon Race members she had slain along this journey.

The endless slaughter had rapidly grown and refined her Slaughter Law.

But this rapid growth came at a cost....

A savage will constantly assaulted her mind.

Long-term immersion in such a repressive atmosphere had pushed her Spiritual Power to its limit.

At present, a group of enemies blocked her way.

But they were not Demon Race members, it was a group of...

Ghost Race!

Or rather, a group maintaining Ghost Race form, but enveloped in heavy Demonic Qi, with muddled and fanatical eyes.

They numbered nearly a hundred, standing quietly on Qing Shuang's path.

At the forefront were several particularly powerful Ghost Race members, each exuding a Totem Level pressure!

As Qing Shuang approached, these demonized Ghost Race members raised their heads in unison, their eyes focused on her.

A hoarse, eerily enticing voice spoke from the leading Ghost Race member:

"Another lost kin... Poor child, you have done well enough, you can rest now?"

Qing Shuang didn't stop, she raised her head, coldly uttering two words:

"Get out."

Ignored by Qing Shuang, this Ghost Race member remained unfazed:

"Why be so stubborn? Look at this world filled with despair!"

"We once also adhered to so-called pride, but what did it bring? The downfall of the Ghost Race?"

He looked at Qing Shuang, his tone seemingly sincere:

"Child, you are the exceptional genius of our Ghost Race in a millennium."

"And this world now belongs to the Demon Race."

"Why waste your life for a decayed belief? Embrace the Demon Race instead..."

"The Demon Race respects the strong, especially a genius like you."

He spread his arms as if offering a sincere invitation:

"As long as you nod and join the Demon Race, not only will you gain supreme power instantly, but we… all our kin, are willing to serve you as our leader!"

"You will lead us, rebuilding the glory of the Ghost Race in this new era!"

"A glory that is… stronger, more enduring!"

"Consider your kin, consider your father… they need strong protection, rather than meaningless sacrifices!"

"Submission is the only way to save the Ghost Race!"

These words targeted the most vulnerable parts of the heart.

They not only offered a temptation of power but also tried to exploit Qing Shuang's attachment to her tribe and concern for her family to break her will.

However, as Qing Shuang listened, her eyes showed no sign of fluctuation.

There was only icy, almost indifferent murderous intent.

She slowly extended her hand into a fist, her voice as cold as a winter wind:

"The Ghost Race, rather die than submit."

"From the moment you chose to kneel and sell your soul to the Demon Race…"

The Slaughter Law swirling around her suddenly boiled, compressed, and concentrated onto her fist!

"...you lost the right to call yourselves the Ghost Race!"

Before the words even finished, Qing Shuang's figure had turned into a blood-red lightning bolt, fiercely charging towards the group of Ghost Race members!
