Chapter 746: Demon-Sealing Valley (Part 5)
"We've misjudged! The woman across looks fragile, but she's actually a top-notch expert!"
"If we fought her one-on-one, I'm afraid none of us would be her match."
"How can a woman be so powerful? How did she cultivate?"
"Let's all go at her together, I refuse to believe she can take us all down!"
"Right, attack together, leverage our advantage, and try to capture her alive. It's not easy to find a woman, and she's a really beautiful one at that; we can't just kill her off easily."
"Charge!!!"
Dozens of Great Demons charged collectively.
"A bunch of ignorant fools." Duanmu Hong flipped her hands upward, fingers moving in succession, as she began to unleash her ultimate skill, Phoenix Dance to the Heavens. Threads leapt from her fingertips, dancing rapidly in the air; in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with these threads. Roughly counting, there were tens of thousands, dense and menacing to behold.
"That move again!" Gao Fei's eyes widened: "So awesome!"
"Don't rush." He Hentian pretentiously patted Gao Fei's shoulder: "Wait until I've taken her as my master. The first thing I'll do is learn this, and when I've mastered it, I'll teach it to you."
"Okay." Gao Fei nodded, "I'll wait, but don't make me wait too long."
"Don't worry, you won't wait too long," He Hentian said with a smile.
...
While Gao Fei and He Hentian were talking, the situation changed.
The tens of thousands of threads intertwined, forming a large net that swooped down on the dozens of Great Demons.
"What the hell is this? Get out of my way!"
A Great Demon reached for the thread net, "Ouch!" As soon as his fingers touched the net, they were sliced open, blood gushed out, and he howled in pain: "So sharp!" The Great Demon quickly withdrew his hand: "Be careful, everyone, these threads are extremely sharp! Don't touch them with your bare hands!"
After the warning, the remaining Great Demons quickly took out their weapons and began attacking the thread net above their heads.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Crack crack crack!"
"Zzzt zzzt zzzt!"
The threads were sharper than the Great Demons expected. After a few contacts, their weapons were all damaged – some had notches, some had cracks, and some broke outright...
"What is this thing? How is it so powerful?"
"The woman across is too strong; we're no match. We need to run."
"Run! Run now!"
If they couldn't win the fight, the only option was to flee. The dozens of Great Demons turned around and headed deep into the valley.
"Trying to run? Too late!" Duanmu Hong snorted coldly: "Explode!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The tens of thousands of threads exploded instantly, the resulting energy engulfing the dozens of Great Demons, "Ahhhh... It hurts, I'm dying... Leader, save me... Leader, save me…" The dozens of Great Demons wailed tragically.
"Leader?" Duanmu Hong narrowed her eyes: "Could it be that the valley hides even more powerful demons?"
Indeed, Duanmu Hong's guess was correct; the valley did hide more powerful demons, and not just one.
"Roar!!!"
A thunderous roar bellowed from the depths of the valley, and Duanmu Hong's face slightly changed, "There really were demons lurking."
"Rumble rumble..."
Three colossal creatures emerged from the depth of the valley, on the left was a gigantic bear, on the right a massive lizard, and in the center, a black gorilla. They stood a hundred zhang tall with Snaggletooth grins, their expressions extremely ferocious. After the creatures appeared, they locked onto Duanmu Hong, with three powerful Qi presences surging to the sky, crushing down towards her.
"Hmph!"
Duanmu Hong snorted coldly and then raised her hand to smack down, the three powerful Qi presences instantly collapsed and vanished without a trace.
"Eh?" the bear exclaimed in surprise, "What a formidable woman! Even more so than I had anticipated."
"Indeed, quite formidable," the lizard nodded, "I've lived for so long, seen countless women, but never such a badass woman."
"Hey, woman over there, what's your name," the gorilla spoke up, "Are you interested in being my woman? I am the king here, all the demons here obey my command," pointing at the bear and the lizard, "that includes them."
The bear and the lizard listened quietly, offering no rebuttal; nominally, they did have to obey the gorilla.
"Defeat me, and I'll be your woman," Duanmu Hong said expressionlessly.
"Really?" the gorilla's eyes lit up.
"I never lie."
"Hahaha... You all back off, let me handle her! If all goes as expected, I'll be returning with a beautiful woman today! Hahaha..."
The gorilla strode forcefully, moving like the wind, spread out his arms and grabbed at Duanmu Hong, "I will use my formidable strength to defeat you, and then conquer you! You will willingly be my woman!" The gorilla was very confident in its strength, believing Duanmu Hong would not possibly defeat it.
Duanmu Hong raised a single finger, poking at the palm of the gorilla's hand.
"Eh? Something's fishy!" The gorilla furrowed its brow, wanting to dodge Duanmu Hong's attack, but what was extremely frustrating was... Duanmu Hong's finger was exceptionally nimble, no matter how the gorilla dodged, it couldn't shake off her finger, so the gorilla snorted coldly, giving up on dodging, "I don't believe it, your single finger can break through my attack! Come on! Feel my power!"
"Pffft!"
Duanmu Hong's finger finally poked the gorilla's palm, making a crisp sound.
"Ahh!" The gorilla suddenly cried out in pain, then retreated in a panic, his eyes filled with shock and panic.
Duanmu Hong stood quietly, not pursuing further.
What happened? The gorilla was clearly on the upper hand just now, how did it change in the blink of an eye? The gorilla's palm was poked by Duanmu Hong's finger and then retreated in a fright... It's incredible! Is Duanmu Hong's finger really that powerful?
The most astonished were the bear and the lizard; they knew well the gorilla's strength, they couldn't believe the gorilla would suffer... but the reality was before their eyes...
"What happened?" the bear asked, puzzled.
"Is that woman really that strong?" The lizard's face was also full of doubt.
"Look," the gorilla spread his palm, there was a small hole in the center, through which they could see the blood vessels and bones inside, blood streaming out continuously, a ghastly sight.
"Did that woman do this?" the bear's eyes widened.
The gorilla nodded, "Yes, her, just a moment slower, and my palm would've been pierced through."
"Hiss..." The bear inhaled sharply, "Your palm is harder than any Treasure, even a Spiritual Treasure would hardly harm you, and now it's been poked through by a finger, nearly piercing through it... this is utterly inconceivable..."
"That woman is something else," the lizard looked at Duanmu Hong somewhat warily, "How did this woman cultivate, to be so badass!"
"Big brother, don't be a hero, let's go together," the bear suggested, "I believe, with our combined strength, we can definitely subdue that woman across."
