Chapter 116 Discovered by the Demon Race
Once a demon beast gains sentience, it becomes a demon race. Once it gains sentience, it can quickly transform into human form. Among these three demon race girls, the one in yellow and the one in moon-white dress both have cultivation levels equivalent to a Heavenly Spirit Realm Spirit Master, while the black-haired girl in red with blue scales has strength equivalent to the mid-stage Spirit King Realm.
"Senior sister, look how beautiful this flower is." The girl in yellow casually picked a small yellow flower and held it up to the girl in red.
The girl in red took the flower from her hand, gently sniffed it, and smiled. Suddenly, the girl in red's expression changed, and she looked around warily.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" the girl in the moon-white dress asked.
"It seems there are humans," the girl in red said.
Hidden in the shadows, Gu Yan was quite surprised. The red-clad girl's cultivation was only equivalent to the mid-stage of the Spirit King Realm, so her divine sense shouldn't have detected him. He knew that demons had a keen sense of smell, so he had come prepared; the robes he wore could block out scents. Logically speaking, this girl shouldn't have noticed him, right?
Could this demon girl possess some special talent?
Upon hearing the words of the girl in red, the other two girls became alert. They both released their divine senses, scanned their surroundings, and carefully sniffed the air.
"No."
"I can't smell any human scent."
The girl in yellow and the girl in the moon-white dress asked each other in confusion.
"Senior sister, you must be mistaken," the girl in yellow said.
The girl in red looked thoughtful, as if she was also confirming something.
Hidden in the shadows, Gu Yan was about to make her move. The girl in red looked puzzled and said, "Upon closer inspection, it seems there's nothing there. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Well, we've been out for quite a while now; it's time to go back. Let's go!"
The girl in red, enveloped in red light, flew into the sky, followed by the girl in yellow and the girl in the moon-white dress. Gu Yan watched them disappear into the distance from the shadows, his divine sense still locked onto them.
When the three demon girls had flown more than thirty miles away, a powerful aura flew from afar. A streak of blue light flashed in the east and appeared in front of the three demon girls. It was a young man dressed in black. He looked to be in his twenties, with handsome features and long golden hair.
The man was at the mid-stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm. He had pointed ears peeking out from his hair and scales on his fair skin, so he was clearly not human.
The girl in red beamed with joy upon seeing the young man and flew towards him. As she reached him, she transmitted a message telepathically. The young man's expression changed, a golden glint flashing in his eyes. He then abruptly turned and struck out with his palm towards Gu Yan's direction.
The billowing demonic clouds transformed into an enormous azure handprint. This handprint frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, rapidly expanding to over two hundred feet in length before slamming terrifyingly towards the ground. The force of the palm strike was devastating, snapping the surrounding giant trees in half with a series of cracking sounds.
With a loud bang, countless ancient trees on the ground were destroyed, and a handprint several feet deep was slammed into the ground, with cracks extending outwards from the center of the handprint.
The power of a palm strike from a Spirit Emperor Realm expert is terrifying!
Countless creatures in the dense forest were terrified and fled in panic.
Of course, this palm strike wouldn't hurt Gu Yan.
Amidst the billowing dust, a figure flashed into the sky. The middle-aged man, dressed in white, possessed a refined and approachable air. His appearance startled the young demon man and the three demon girls; they couldn't understand why this ordinary-looking human in white could so captivate them the moment they saw him.
"Human, what are you doing trespassing into the territory of the demon race?" The demon youth's tone was hostile, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Gu Yan didn't look at him, but stared at the girl in red. He asked, "How did you find me?"
Despite only possessing the cultivation of a Spirit King, he was able to detect him. His sudden departure wasn't due to self-doubt, but rather because he sensed the lurking human was stronger than himself, prompting him to leave with his companions. Upon seeing the demon youth, he immediately transmitted his voice.
The girl in red didn't know why, even though she hated humans, the moment this human spoke, her heart started pounding. Was he using a charm spell on her? How shameless!
The girl in red did not answer Gu Yan's question.
"Qing'er, you guys go first!" the demon youth said.
Upon hearing this, the girl in red and the other two demon girls obediently transformed into three streaks of light and sped away into the distance. The demon youth's cold, emerald eyes remained fixed on Gu Yan as he coldly said:
"Whatever you've come here for, leave your life behind today."
He gripped his hand, and a long, cyan sword appeared in his grasp. With a sweep of the sword, the young demon unleashed a burst of cyan energy that instantly reached Gu Yan, causing the space to tremble and the energy to crisscross.
Gu Yan sighed inwardly, "What a nuisance!"
A silver light appeared in front of Gu Yan. It was a small silver bell. The size of the small silver bell suddenly expanded to tens of feet, blocking the incoming sword energy in front of Gu Yan.
The silver bell emitted a deafening chime. The moment the bell rang, layers of sound waves rippled through the sky, tearing through space. The sound waves went straight towards the demon youth, forcing him to take a few steps back.
Gu Yan didn't want to fight this guy. This was the territory of the demon race, and a fight would alert more demon experts, and then he would be outnumbered.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Silver Spirit Bell shrank and was put away. He was surrounded by purple lightning and protected by golden light, then transformed into a golden rainbow surrounded by purple lightning and sped away into the distance.
"Don't even think about escaping!!"
The demon youth immediately caught up.
Gu Yan was fast, but the young demon was no slouch either. This guy seemed to be the winged race, the most skilled in speed among the demons. He chased Gu Yan for over a thousand miles when suddenly golden wings appeared behind him. His enormous wings were like they were carved from gold, shimmering with golden light, and were extremely magnificent.
As soon as the wings appeared, his speed increased dramatically.
Upon sensing this with her divine sense, Gu Yan immediately activated the Wind and Thunder Wings. To the demon youth's surprise, a pair of wings suddenly appeared behind Gu Yan. These azure wings were tinged with five-colored light and surrounded by purple divine lightning. With a single flap of her wings, she traveled a hundred miles away, instantly leaving him behind.
What?!
What kind of magic weapon is this?!
The demon youth gritted his teeth, his golden wings shone brightly, and he accelerated again.
He refused to believe that he could lose to a human of the same level in terms of speed.
