Chapter 725 - 106: Chaotic Brawl (2)

A feathered bird covered in metallic sheen emerged with azure golden feathers.

The Qingling Hawk stood no taller than half a human height, yet the aura it emitted was almost comparable to that of an Ascendant.

The reason Cyan Feather Ascendant hadn’t summoned it earlier was firstly to conceal his identity, for once the Qingling Hawk appeared, everyone in the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain would know it belonged to the Fierce Tiger Commerce Association.

Secondly, to keep a card in hand as a precaution against the other three, especially the Ascendant of Taian Commerce Association.

Thirdly, to conserve the Qingling Hawk’s strength as this town’s Great Demon wasn’t his personal possession but temporarily bestowed by the Commerce Association, and he couldn’t afford any mistakes.

The Nine Foolish Ascendant’s face changed, looking with some dread at the Qingling Hawk.

"Great! Cyan Feather Daoist, first let Qingluan deal with this little beast!" Meng Tingzhen exclaimed joyfully, hurriedly calling out to Cyan Feather.

The Qingling Hawk, this fierce avian Great Demon, was naturally the natural enemy of frog-like Great Demons, not only suppressing their lineage but also inherently possessing a higher realm than Gugu, its demon power immense.

Once Gugu is dealt with, Meng Tingzhen can break free from the constraints of the Nine Dragon Lock, and then join forces with Nine Foolish Ascendant to attack Li Ji’an, virtually sealing their fate.

Cyan Feather Ascendant nodded slightly and immediately pointed toward Gugu.

The Qingling Hawk left behind a streak of lightning, heading straight for Gugu.

Gugu’s bell-like eyes suddenly shrank, sensing the suppression of its lineage.

However, what surprised everyone was.

Gugu, who should have been suppressed by lineage, normally unable to bear even a slightly superior realm than the Qingling Hawk, was shockingly fearless after a brief moment of surprise, meeting the Qingling Hawk head-on.

Boom! The Qingling Hawk had not anticipated that it would dare attack it, and after the lightning assault had just revealed its form, a Crescent Saber had already been thrust onto it.

In anger, it could only sidestep, not daring to confront directly.

The Crescent Saber brushed over its azure plumage, sparking a series of sparks.

"Not bad, the effects of the Dragon Soul tempering are still quite evident." Li Ji’an felt a bit surprised, then relieved.

Over the years, the True Dragon Residual Soul had significantly heightened Gugu’s threshold for lineage suppression.

This Qingling Hawk’s lineage was superior, nearly akin to the Human Race’s Celestial Grade Spirit Root, whereas Gugu’s original lineage was of lower grade, elevated twice to upper grade through Sacred Beast Pill refinement.

However, compared to the Innate True Dragon’s lineage, this Qingling Hawk was completely incomparable.

Unfortunately, Gugu was only at the Early Golden Core Stage, its demon power overly consumed, and though it had the courage to confront the Qingling Hawk, it was ultimately lacking in strength.

The Qingling Hawk excelled in speed, and this location was sealed by a grand array, hindering Gugu’s earth escape prowess; within moments, the Qingling Hawk clawed Gugu out of the ground.

Gugu’s back flashed hypnotic colors, yet still couldn’t escape the Qingling Hawk’s sharp talons, blood flowing freely.

At the moment Gugu was clawed out of the earth by the Qingling Hawk, the Little Fire Spirit, enraptured with the Red-eyed Ascendant, suddenly exploded.

Almost instantly, its Spirit Flame’s power soared by fifty percent, the previously orange Tier Three Spirit Flame now gleaming with dazzling golden radiance, transforming into a golden Spirit Flame.

The Red-eyed Ascendant promptly deployed a fireproof scarf magical treasure, retreating several meters.

The Little Fire Spirit did not pursue him, instead attacking the Qingling Hawk directly.

The Qingling Hawk was caught off guard by the Little Fire Spirit, its hot Spirit Flame turning its feathers a vivid red, the longest wing feathers nearly melting instantly, appearing to drip lava.

The Qingling Hawk, in pain, released Gugu and lightning bolted away.

The Little Fire Spirit rapidly withdrew its Spirit Flame power, arriving before Gugu.

The two small creatures communicated briefly via Divine Thought, Gugu suddenly opening its mouth to swallow the Little Fire Spirit.

This left the four adversaries in bewildered doubt, and even Li Ji’an felt a bit surprised.

"Void Inference, save me~" In the next moment, Meng Tingzhen’s expression dramatically changed.

Gugu did not chase the Qingling Hawk, instead launching another attack toward Meng Tingzhen.

It still fired its long tongue, but this time, in addition to the Crescent Saber’s sharpness, there was also the formidable force of the Spirit Flame’s power.

Li Ji’an slightly raised an eyebrow, approvingly giving the two small creatures a glance.

The Little Fire Spirit’s power was sufficient, but it lacked speed, combined with Gugu’s long tongue, their weaknesses were compensated.

Boom~ Gugu’s unexpected strike, the Void Inference Ascendant where the Red-eyed could scarcely rescue in time?

And Meng Tingzhen hadn’t yet escaped the Nine Dragon Lock’s constraints, facing Gugu and the Little Fire Spirit’s combined assault, there was no avoiding.

The Little Fire Spirit’s unleashed power posed significant threat to his Body-Protecting Dharma Shield.

Just as it was about to hit him, he fiercely clenched his teeth, and a streak of flowing light shot out from the Qiankun Ring.

Immediately, a long spear radiating lightning burst forth, colliding with the Crescent Saber at Gugu’s tongue tip.

Boom~

Upon contact, Gugu’s tongue tip blossomed with blood red.

The massive force nearly split open Gugu’s tongue, Gugu in pain, urgently tried to withdraw.

But the long spear was relentless as a bamboo splitter, pursuing relentlessly...

"First Grade Treasure Talisman!" As the long spear broke through the air, the others’ faces changed.

The power it carried was astonishing, at least double the attack power of the other Ascendants’ full force, clearly approaching True Monarch-level power.

Only a treasure talisman refined from First Grade magical treasures carried such power.

And it must have been refined by a True Monarch skilled in artifact refining personally.

In the Ten Thousand Merchants Domain, where True Monarchs are rarely seen, this was definitely considered a trump card.

Cyan Feather Ascendant and Nine Foolish Ascendant, after their shock, had a flash of gratitude in their eyes.

They, collaborating with Meng Tingzhen, naturally always guarded against the other.

Moreover, with Meng Tingzhen’s status and standing, they had never regarded him as an ordinary Mid-stage Core Formation True Man, expecting he must have a trump card to threaten them.
