Chapter Thirty-Eight The Third Spiritual Beast

  The Ninth Princess looked at the bird-beaked monster with a surprised expression on her face and didn't relax until she saw that Tang Lin was unharmed.

  Whoosh!

  The bird-beaked monster abandoned Tang Lin and rushed towards Princess Zhaojiu.

  The Ninth Princess let out a cold snort, her hand gestured and countless lightning bolts converged above her head, heavily striking the bird-beaked monster.

  Among the tens of millions of lightning flashes, a thread of pure white light interwove.

  Tang Lin was shocked at heart.

  "Dual Energy Tendency?" Tang Lin didn't expect that the Ninth Princess was also a Dual Energy Tendency user, but how could she be a congenital Purple Lightning Sacred Body?

  Tang Lin couldn't understand, but at this critical moment, there was no time to think more. He immediately cooperated with the Ninth Princess's attack, pulled out the golden eagle bow, drew it full and shot it at the bird-beaked monster.

  Whoosh!

  Golden arrow light as swift as lightning, in an instant gone.

  The bird-beaked monster was struck by millions of lightning bolts, emitting black smoke, but still vigorous and unscathed. At this moment, it was shot by Tang Lin's arrow, and a small blood hole burst open on its chest. It suddenly became furious and pounced towards Tang Lin.

  At this time, the outside was windy. Nie Qing and others all came, and there was also that old general. This old general immediately threw out a flying sword, shooting at the bird-beaked monster.

  The Ninth Princess hastily said: "You all quickly retreat, it's not something you can handle."

  Du Gu Feng's expression was worried, but seeing the speed of the bird-beaked monster's movements, he knew he couldn't help and could only retreat.

  The Ninth Princess said to Tang Lin: "Be careful, it might be a Demon Saint!"

  Tang Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, never expecting to encounter a demon saint as soon as he entered. He took out the Divine Movement Symbol, increasing his bodily speed, and barely avoided the bird-beaked monster's pounce.

  The Ninth Princess's brow revealed a purple glow, as she hummed a mysterious incantation, her spiritual energy permeating the entire sky and earth, summoning countless bolts of thunder.

  "Primordial Thunder God's Spear!"

  The Ninth Princess's eyes flashed with a cold light as she raised her hand and pointed at the bird-beaked monster.

  Above her head, countless divine thunderbolts rolled down. Amidst the rumbling sounds and deep within the lightning, a purple long spear condensed, wrapped in ancient scriptures. The bird-beaked monster swooped away!

  Whoosh!

  The bird-beaked monster saw this purple divine spear and was frightened, immediately turning around and escaping.

  The speed of the Purple Lightning Spear was too fast, no matter how the bird-beaked monster dodged and weaved, it could not avoid its lock-on.

  Pfft!

  The bird-beaked monster's body was pierced by a huge hole, with fresh blood gushing down, the purple electric spear suddenly exploded, turning into countless expanding lightning lights, tearing the bird-beaked monster's body apart.

  "Run!" The Ninth Princess said in a low voice.

  Tang Lin didn't have time to think much and quickly followed her from behind as they escaped.

  At this moment, the bird-beaked monster whose body was torn apart suddenly transformed into a black mist. It condensed into a huge mouth and chased after Tang Lin and his companion.

  "How dare you hurt me! This primordial Purple Lightning Sacred Body is mine!" The black fog transformed into a huge mouth, rushing towards the Ninth Princess.

  The Ninth Princess's expression turned stern. Her slender eyebrows furrowed as she reached into her bosom and pulled out a large seal the size of a jade pendant, saying in a low voice: "Mountain River Seal!"

  This golden seal surged violently in the wind, suspended above her head like a castle in the air, bursting with intense golden light. It pressed down fiercely on that black fog.

  A shrill cry came from the black fog, making Tang Lin's eardrums ache and his gums feel numb. As the Mountain River Seal fell, eighteen Buddhist scriptures burst out from under it, emitting a sacred and solemn aura that enveloped the black mist.

  The black fog emitted a "hissing" sound, and the bird-beaked creature was trapped inside, unable to break free for the time being.

  The Ninth Princess frowned and said: "I can't kill it, this monster's Tao is too high, absolutely over 80,000 years!"

  Tang Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Then let's immediately report to the commander-in-chief and have him come to quell the disturbance?"

  "I can't delay any longer." The Ninth Princess furrowed her brow, suddenly saying: "You two retreat first and let the large army outside withdraw. I'll block it here."

  Tang Lin said firmly: "No way!"

  The ninth princess looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to get out of here."

  "Let's go." The old general said to Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin hadn't made a sound, but the canyon was already filled with a long, mournful sigh, like thunder rolling in. A black cloud, visible to the naked eye, swept towards the three of them at an alarming speed.

  "What a heavy demonic aura." Tang Lin was shocked in his heart. The density of this demonic aura was something he had never seen before.

  The ninth princess's face changed, and she said repeatedly: "You guys hurry up and leave, I'll hold it back!"

  Tang Lin looked at her.

  At this moment when the strong wind is howling and the sky and earth are changing color, a beautiful woman from a fallen city says to you: You'd better leave quickly...

  Tang Lin's mind buzzed with memories of the ancient demon realm, where they had relied on each other for survival, and of the study where they sat by the window, discussing martial arts through the night...

  Tang Lin's eyes suddenly cleared, and he stood in front of the Ninth Princess, saying in a low voice: "You go first, I'll stop them!"

  The Ninth Princess was taken aback: "You..."

  "Quickly!" Tang Lin loudly said to the old general: "Protect the princess and leave!!"

  At this, the old man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that in times of great danger, Tang Lin would have such a selfless spirit. Feeling ashamed in his heart, he didn't dare to linger and immediately pulled Nine Princess along, saying: "Let's go first!"

  The ninth princess looked at Tang Lin's determined expression and insisted on staying, but when she heard a sentence from the old general, her body stopped abruptly.

  "The Ice Emperor is still waiting for you..."

  This sentence was like a heavy hammer that suddenly struck her awake.

  Under the pull of Zhongshao Laozhang, the Ninth Princess put away the Shanhe Seal and looked at Tang Lin's resolute and solitary back with a complex expression, being pulled away from the valley.

  Feeling the faint scent around him fade away, Tang Lin's heart was somewhat at ease, yet at the same time, he felt a few strands of inexplicable loneliness. He took a deep breath and gazed at the two clusters of black fog in front of him.

  From the dark clouds that came from the edge of the sky, rolling out was a vast and mighty demonic energy, revealing an exceptionally pale and handsome face, filled with evil and strangeness.

  In that black fog, a bird-beaked monster revealed its ferocious big mouth and roared: "Little devil, I'm going to kill you!"

  It roared towards Tang Lin.

  At this moment, Tang Lin's heart calmed down instead.

  He gazed at the bird-beaked monster rushing towards him, without any intention of surrendering. He circulated the majestic true energy within his body, unleashing the dragon-patterned power to its extreme, clenched his fist and heavily struck the black mist.

  Boom!

  The true energy slammed into the fog, as if it had slammed into the body of a bird-beaked monster.

  The bird-beaked monster let out a furious roar and its body was sent flying several feet away. Tang Lin's body merely shook once before he steadied himself.

  At this moment, his whole body was filled with ninety-nine golden light beams, and on his forehead, there was a golden crack, from which a pair of golden eyes shone out.

  The moment his eyes opened, Tang Lin seemed to have a thorough understanding of the surrounding heaven and earth.

  "Huh?" The handsome face in the demonic fog revealed a hint of surprise, and then lightly laughed: "This human, is somewhat interesting."

  The bird-beaked monster was furious, but Tang Lin was only a half-saint and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, he was punched flying by Tang Lin at this moment.

  The enormous power contained within Tang Lin made it furious, but as a deeply cultivated and cunning demon, it didn't resort to brute force. Suddenly, its eyes flashed, and the corners of its mouth curled up into a ferocious and mysterious smile.

  Tang Lin quietly waited for the bird-beaked monster's attack, but in his heart he was extremely wary of the demon head beside him. If the Town Demon Tribe were the natural enemies of demons, then the natural enemy of the demon heads was the Divine Language Tribe.

  But he himself is not a god of language.

  Tang Lin's hand rummaged through the storage ring and pulled out a precious 'Divine Power Talisman'. With this talisman, within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he could unleash boundless divine power, rivaling the peak of a Martial God.

  With the power of this talismanic seal, combined with his own great strength, Tang Lin believed that for a while he would not be in danger.

  But just then——

  Buzz!

  A transparent spiritual force suddenly rushed towards Tang Lin's brain.

  Tang Lin's consciousness was suddenly blank for a moment.

  In Tang Lin's sea of consciousness, the bird-beaked monster's shrunken figure emerged and charged at Tang Lin's soul, swallowing it with a roar.

  Tang Lin's soul was shaken, and he was easily caught by the bird-beaked monster. Just as the bird-beaked monster was about to swallow him, the Town Evil Bell on his soul suddenly burst out with a dazzling light that shocked people's hearts, and two figures appeared.

  The first was the giant axe-wielding god, who roared in anger and charged at the bird-beaked monster.

  The second figure was the majestic and powerful Purple Winged Peng, its eyes gleaming with a cold light as it stared at the Bird-beaked Monster. Its wings fluttered, releasing thousands of flashes of lightning that shot towards the monster.

  These two sudden figures made the bird-beaked monster completely unprepared, and it was beaten to be at a loss, suddenly being struck into serious injury.

  At this moment, the Town Evil Bell on Tang Lin's soul suddenly flashed a strong light and floated up from Tang Lin's soul, transforming into a small bell shape, enveloping the bird-beaked monster inside.

  After a moment, the small bell gradually shrunk and then transformed back into a suit of armor, which was put on Tang Lin's body. On the shoulder of this armor, there was an embroidery pattern of a bird-beaked monster.

  ……

  "Ah——"

  In the black mist outside Tang Lin, a sudden and inexplicable scream pierced through, followed by the disappearance of the black mist. The bird-beaked monster revealed its true form, maniacally screaming as bright red blood spurted out from its mouth and ears.

  Then the body fell straight down and smashed into a big pit on the sandstone, completely motionless.

  Tang Lin was shocked and terrified. If he didn't have the Demon-Calming Bell, he feared that his soul would have been stolen by this demon just now, and he would have died directly from a shattered soul.

  The automatic guardian of Zhēn Xié Zhōng actually suppressed and subdued its soul, becoming the third guardian spirit beast on top of Zhēn Xié Zhōng!

  Tang Lin narrowly escaped with his life, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He looked up at the demonic cloud and saw that handsome face showing a hint of surprise, but not the slightest bit of sorrow for the death of this bird-beaked monster.

  Perhaps monsters and demons never knew what heartbreak was in the first place.
