Chapter 537: Double Demons in the South Mountains

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

What a fierce fellow!

The tiger demon suddenly appeared, violently snatching towards the Heavenly Crown of Peace on the top of Yan Yuntian’s head. Zhou Bao was gazing faintly, but he could not help but sigh at the tiger demon’s power. However, he did not move, not even an inch.

To his side there was a winged bird-man, glaring at his prey. His eyes were dead fixed on them, warning them not to make any sudden moves. It was very hard to say whether Zhou Bao should take the winged bird-man seriously or not.

“The Heavenly Crown of Peace is still an Upper-Grade Pure Yang Celestial Device, no matter what! With it, you can take whatever you want!” Zhou Bao said coldly as he watched the tiger demon’s movements.

Sure enough, just as the tiger demon went to grab the Heavenly Crown of Peace, it emitted a purple scattered light, blocking the tiger demon’s fierce claws.

“Daring!” Now that the scattered light from the Crown of Peace blocked the tiger demon’s fierce claws, Yan Yuntian reacted. He shouted and punched violently.

“Ugh!” The tiger demon could not strike. Seeing Yan Yuntian’s hand coming, he did not panic, but snorted coldly and withdrew a paw. Curling up, he hid from the hand, while noticing the protective Heavenly Crown of Peace. For the moment, he could not grab the candidate for Human Emperor no matter what, so he turned to Zhou Bao.

Zhou Bao looked vulnerable in his green robe. His appearance cried “come and bully me”, making the tiger demon’s heart itch endlessly. And so with his second strike, he went for Zhou Bao.

“It seems you want to die!” Seeing the tiger demon’s second claw coming towards him, Zhou Bao just smiled coldly and raised his hand to grab the claw.

This tiger demon was fairly well cultivated, and had already undergone the Thunder Tribulation, and assumed the form of a Demonic Immortal. Although he had not reached the level of Venerable Realm, he was much stronger than a normal Genuine Immortal who had undergone the Thunder Tribulation. His combat capability was equivalent to that of a Venerable Realm level Genuine Immortal. This kind of power usually was enough to deal with opponents, only this time he was facing Zhou Bao.

Zhou Bao’s palm reached out to the tiger demon’s paw. Both demonic beasts had a really bad feeling about that slender and apparently harmless palm.

“This isn’t good!”

The tiger demon felt that something was not right, and went to take his paw back. However, Zhou Bao did not give him the chance and he swiftly stretched out his hand. As both their hands collided sparks came out in the air.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A crackle of shattering skeleton resounded.

Meanwhile, the bird-man at his side hissed viciously as his wings quivered slightly. Like lightning, he charged at Zhou Bao without thinking. Grasping his claws, he pounced directly at Zhou Bao’s face where he was most vulnerable, relieving some of the pressure on his companion.

“He is quite fast!” A light voice spoke in Zhou Bao’s ear, warning him. A sense of big danger pounded in his heart.

“You’ve found your mortal match” That thought flashed in his mind. The birdman’s advancing claw stopped, he flapped his wings, and suddenly not a trace of him was to be seen.

Suddenly, a shriek resounded. Zhou Bao’s hand had already smashed the tiger demon’s paw to pieces. Seizing the opportunity, he stepped forward and, swiftly and forcefully, clutched at the tiger demon’s chest.

“Ah! Ah!” The fierce pain instantly made the tiger demon roar. He never thought that this seemingly weak teen in cyan clothes in front of him could have been this powerful. With only one hit, he had smashed his attack and dealt him some serious injuries.

After Zhou Bao’s sharp attack, the tiger demon fled as fast as he could. He roared fiercely deadly ripples spread from his mouth.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The formless ripples hit Zhou Bao’s hand, and he absorbed their power. The tiger demon turned into a ray of light and dashed away.

“Haha, these two guys can run fast!”Zhou Bao didn’t go after them. Instead, he lifted his eyes and looked in the direction in which the bird-man had escaped. He looked more interesting to him than the tiger demon.

“The Roc Flying Freely method, one of the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, has never before involved this body movement. I didn’t think it would be this quick. It cannot be outdone by the Three Realms Division. A thousand miles in a flash, how interesting! Worth looking into!” Zhou Bao had just recognized the movement used by the bird demon when he escaped, it was actually one of the types of Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds he had just learned. The Roc Flying Freely method was allegedly one of the quickest body movements in heaven and on earth. It was from a Fierce Beast from primitive times and it was claimed that the special ability of this legendary golden-winged bird was to travel hundreds of thousands of miles away in a flap of its wings.

Although the bird-man did not use it to its full potential, it had already traveled countless hundreds of miles and was back looking at Zhou Bao from afar with greedy eyes.

After the two Demonic Immortals left, Zhou Bao turned to look at Chen Shoubai, and with a slight sneer in his eyes said, “Deacon Chen, the defenses in Mountainside Town are far too lax! Anything can just come in and attack at will!”

“This matter was caused by the thoughtlessness of the Chen Ancestral Temple. It was us who let them in!” Chen Shoubai did not at all try to shift the blame. His face was slightly white, his expression was stern. “Rest assured that the Chen Ancestral Temple will give you an explanation!”

“Ok, then. However, I think that with guys like that, the more the better. If they kill off all the other competition, how can that be bad? Haha!”, Zhou Bao laughed thoughtlessly.

“If such a good thing were to happen in this world, then I would also compete for the throne of the emperor!”, Chen Shoubai laughed coldly. “Well, now that this is all basically over, I think with you by his side, His Majesty won’t have to worry about his safety, right?!”

“I’m here to watch the bustle, not to act as a bodyguard!”, Zhou Bao replied indistinctly. “When we get to your territory, our safety is your responsibility, isn’t it?!”

“Okay. Then from now on, I promise that no one will dare attack you again!”, Chen Shoubai shouted before storming off.

“That’s more like it!”

“Zhou Bao, you can’t be too nice, this is someone else’s territory after all!” Yan Yuntian, seeing Chen Shoubai’s storming off with a face full of shame, couldn’t help but try to urge Zhou Bao.

“It is because it is their territory that they have to take responsibility. In my opinion, the Chen Ancestral Temple has seen too many peaceful days. They haven’t taken even the most basic precautions, it’s really disappointing!” Zhou Bao ranted uncontrollably. Hearing this, Yan Yuntian frowned and felt that today there was something wrong with Zhou Bao’s attitude.

He heard a strange sound from outside, but he continued his conversation. “You can’t blame the Chen Ancestral Temple entirely for this, the Penglai Region and your Central Mainland Region have also been peaceful for a long time, and with the Temple right in the middle of the Divine Wind Palace, there is no one foolish enough to come over looking for trouble. So you can take it easy!”

“Who would come over looking for trouble?” Yan Yuntian went pale.

He was the leader of the Jin dynasty, and was a candidate for Human Emperor in the Four Eastern Regions. He cultivated himself to Level Nine and was only one step away from the Mysterious Realm. He was extremely powerful with only a few losses in his record. Everything was fine now that they had arrived in the Penglai Region. They had barely seen the scenery and a tiger demon appeared and nearly snatched and killed them. Then, when they had barely caught their breath, some guy surreptitiously snuck in beside them. How could he not be annoyed?

“How did His Majesty not recognize me?” A figure flashed in front of their eyes.

“Brother Yu, is it you?”, Yan Yuntian showed a pleasantly surprised expression when he realized who was coming, “How come you’re here?”

“If you’re coming to attend the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, I’ll come along too for sure!” The person who appeared was a man dressed in black. It was the same guy who was in the middle of Imperial City—Western Capital, who Yan Yuntian called Brother Yu. This man was one of the Yu family, his name was Yu Nancheng and he was considered a senior. He was Yu Nantian’s cousin and was in the second generation of the Yu family. However, he was by no means young. He was a whole 40 years older than Yu Nantian. His father, Yu Taixuan was the older brother of Yu Taixu, the owner of the Divine Wind Palace. This branch of the Yu family had died off so long ago, and even though he was in charge, it was not powerful at all. It was nowhere near as powerful as Yu Taixu’s branch, nor Yu Taicang’s. But ever since Yu Taicang was killed by Zhou Bao, in Yu Taicang’s branch has never again appeared such a man as him, and it started to fall apart. Yu Nancheng also took this opportunity to reclaim all things he lost to this branch for so many years, and he grew in power.

“This guy must be the leopard from Yunzhou, haha! Seeing is believing, right!? He scared away the Double Demons in the South Mountains, and really dealt a blow to the White Forehead Tiger! So amazing!”

“Are those two famous?!”, Zhou Bao asked.

“The Double Demons in the South Mountains are quite known in the Penglai Region. I thought you knew. The power of the Demon tribe in the Seven-deity Regions is no match for those in the Sea Area. There simply is no space for them. They are all Demonic Immortals capable of rampant behavior in the Seven-deity Regions. Most of them might even have some skills. Those Double Demons we saw just now have a reputation. One is called the White Forehead Tiger and is a millennium tiger demon, the most ferocious of all. The other is the Golden-winged Eagle, probably a little younger than the White Forehead Tiger, but he is a Primordial Fierce Beast of the legendary golden-winged bloodline. The Roc Flying Freely method, allegedly the fastest in the land, was passed down to him. They’re all difficult creatures to deal with. You came to the Penglai Region and scared them away. It won’t be long until your name spreads around here!”

“Famous in Penglai?” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows and shook his head. “This is not my territory. My name should not be known like this!”

“You destroyed the White Forehead Tiger with your own hands. There’s no way you won’t be famous!” Yu Nancheng smiled. “The Double Demons in the South Mountains are the White-feathered Demon King’s sidekicks. The White-feathered Demon King will not take what happened lying down!”

“Isn’t Penglai Region within the territory of your Divine Wind Palace? Divine Wind Palace is the biggest of the five big sects, with unrivaled power. How does Penglai still have a demon king? This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing!”, Zhou Bao was puzzled.
