Chapter 519: Battle Against the Demon King

A few breaths later, the two streaks of light quickly entered the area where the Gale Light Academy students were undergoing their survival trial.

"What rotten luck. Lord Kalu actually sent us back during the critical moment of the prayer ceremony. If I find out who ruined my fun, I’ll make them pay."

A Liger Demon Beast with a ferocious face and wings sprouting from its back roared thunderously.

"Telas, you’ve got it easy. After all, you’re one of Kalu’s subordinates, and this mountain range is your territory. Aren’t I the unlucky one? This has nothing to do with me, but Lord Jingang insisted I come. So frustrating."

The other creature, an eagle-vulture with a wingspan of over ten meters and covered in feathers like black iron, said irritably.

The prayer ceremony was the most solemn event for the Demon Race in the Endless Mountain Range. To any Demon King Level Demon Beast, it was of the utmost importance.

Being sent away in the middle of the ceremony naturally put them in a foul mood.

As the two Demon Kings flew, they scouted the forest, recklessly unleashing their terrifying demonic auras.

"Hm?"

"Humans!"

With their powerful Demon Sense, the two Demon Kings instantly discovered three students searching for Crystal Stones in the forest. A hint of killing intent suddenly appeared in their dark eyes.

"Dammit! How dare humans cause trouble in my, Telas’s, territory! Die!"

WHOOSH.

Two masses of black demonic clouds, like two great mountains, descended with a rumble.

To the Demon Race, humans were natural enemies. Thus, upon seeing the three students, the two Demon Kings attacked fiercely without hesitation.

The three students searching for Crystal Stones in the forest also spotted the two Demon Kings the moment they swept down. A terrified light filled their eyes.

"Oh no, Demon Kings!"

"Why are there Demon Kings here?"

"Quick, notify the masters!"

The terrifying demonic clouds were so oppressive the three could barely breathe. Their pupils contracted, radiating intense fear.

Without needing to be reminded, the three simultaneously crushed the talismans on their bodies and fled frantically.

As elites of the Gale Light Academy’s outer courtyard and Tier Six Martial Venerables, the three students knew exactly how terrifying a Tier Seven Demon King was. They were beings on a completely different level.

"Heh heh, human ants. Since you’re here, you might as well stay!"

The liger-like Demon King with wings on its back sneered at the sight, and its massive claw swiped down instantly.

BOOM!

The claw, like a small mountain, came crashing down with a rumble, causing the surrounding space to vibrate violently.

"We’ll fight you to the death!"

The three students roared in unison. They each took out a Pill and swallowed it, pushed their Martial Souls to their absolute limits, and swung their weapons with ferocious expressions, unleashing their most powerful attacks.

Three streaks of light collided heavily with the massive claw.

BANG!

The three tiny figures were sent flying like kites with broken strings. They all spat out blood as they crashed heavily into the forest, shattering countless rocks and trees.

"Oh? They’re not dead?"

The Liger Demon King spoke in surprise.

As a Tier Seven Demon King, it possessed intelligence no less than an ordinary human’s. It was well aware that the three young humans below were only at Tier Six, yet they had managed to block its casual strike. This immediately astonished it.

"It seems these three are considered geniuses among the Human Race. Heh heh, I, Telas, love eating human geniuses the most."

A bloodthirsty light gleamed in the depths of the Liger Demon King’s eyes.

WHOOSH!

It abruptly opened its cavernous mouth, and a terrifying suction force was born between heaven and earth. Amidst the roaring Gale, the three students were instantly sucked up, flying toward its maw.

"No!"

In mid-air, terrified expressions appeared on the faces of the three. They struggled desperately, but to no avail. Grievously injured, they could only watch helplessly as they were drawn into the Liger Demon Beast’s cavernous mouth.

At that critical moment—

"Stop!"

A thunderous roar echoed, followed by a streak of light that shot forward like a meteor streaking across the night sky, arriving before the Liger Demon Beast in an instant.

BOOM!

Seeing this, the eagle-vulture Demon Beast at its side blocked the Liger Demon King with its black-iron wings, intercepting the meteor-like attack. An inch-long gash was immediately cut into its dark wings, but not a single drop of blood flowed.

Hm?

The eagle-vulture Demon King turned its head to look at the streak of light speeding toward them from the distance, a savage glint in its eyes.

But the Liger Demon King paid it no mind. With one inhalation, the three Gale Light Academy students were sucked into its cavernous mouth, and it bit down hard.

"Master Qingfeng, save me!"

The three students let out a desperate cry. The next moment, closing fangs viciously pierced their bodies.

"No!"

The rapidly approaching streak of light stopped abruptly in mid-air, letting out a grief-stricken roar. A majestic Profound Power surged like a tidal wave, and a beam of Sword Qi shot across the heavens.

Qingfeng gripped his sword, his eyes crimson, his whole body trembling with rage.

"You damn beast."

He snarled in a low voice, filled with fury.

"A human Martial King!"

The Liger Demon King chewed with a sickening crunch. Blood slowly dripped from the corner of its mouth, but it took no notice, instead grinning.

"The taste of human geniuses really is quite good."

It licked its lips with a barbed, blood-red tongue, its eyes fixed excitedly on Qingfeng in the distance.

"Heh heh, Telas, you just had your fun. You have to let me have a taste of this human Martial King."

The eagle-vulture Demon King stared at Qingfeng with its golden eyes and laughed menacingly.

"Seeing as you took a blow for me just now, no problem."

The Liger Demon King glanced at the wound on the eagle-vulture Demon King’s wings, licked its tongue, and showed a look of enjoyment.

"Damn you."

Hearing himself discussed as if he were food, Qingfeng was filled with incomparable rage. However, he suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice, "Who are you two? Why did you wantonly slaughter disciples of the Human Race? Are you not afraid of retaliation from the Human Race?"

Before the survival trial, Qingfeng and the other masters had already carefully scouted the surrounding area. There weren’t supposed to be any Demon Kings nearby. The sudden appearance of two immediately put him on high alert.

He knew that the concept of territory was extremely strong among Demon Kings. A typical Demon King would only operate within its own domain and would rarely intrude upon another’s.

For two Demon Kings to appear at once, something was definitely wrong.

"Haha, wantonly killing your Human Race disciples?" the Liger Demon King, Telas, sneered. "You’ve been scouring Lord Kalu’s territory, and you dare ask me why? Today, not only will your disciples die, but you will die as well."

WHOOSH!

The moment his words fell, the Liger Demon King and the eagle-vulture Demon King shot forward at the same time. Their terrifying claws, like meteors falling from the sky, madly struck toward Qingfeng.

’Lord Kalu?’

Qingfeng’s heart sank. From that short exchange, he already understood. The region they had chosen for the survival trial was actually the territory of a powerful Demon King.

A being that a Demon King would call ’Lord’ would have to be either a Tier Seven Profound Beast Demon King or a Tier Eight Demon Emperor.

But at that moment, Qingfeng couldn’t afford to worry about such things. Facing the attacks of two Demon Kings, he focused his mind and instantly thrust his longsword forward.

BOOM!

A violent roar echoed through the world as Qingfeng and the two great Demon Kings instantly clashed.

Dense demonic clouds and Profound Power collided with one another, and massive explosions continuously rang out across the land.

"Damn it!"

Under the continuous assault of the two Demon Kings, Qingfeng was steadily forced back.

If he were facing a single Demon King, he might have stood a fighting chance. But against two, he was immediately stretched thin.

The two Demon Kings were also experts at coordinating with each other.

BANG!

With a loud bang, Qingfeng was sent flying, a trickle of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

"Gaga, this human Martial King is pretty strong. I’m in a bad mood, so let’s have him play with us for a while."

The eagle-vulture Demon King said menacingly.

"Heh heh, Zong Jiu, don’t kill him just yet. I still haven’t finished the task Lord Kalu gave me. Since this person appeared in this area, this human might be related to what Lord Kalu was talking about."

"Don’t worry, I know."

The two Demon Kings continued their brazen discussion while relentlessly attacking Qingfeng.

BOOM!

The eagle-vulture Demon King swept its enormous black-iron wings, and the powerful gust of wind sent waist-high rocks tumbling. The wings then smashed heavily against the longsword Qingfeng swung out. Amidst a violent roar, Qingfeng was sent retreating frantically while the eagle-vulture Demon King pounced once more.

At the same time, the Liger Demon King at its side also continued to press forward with its attacks.

PSH!

Blood spattered. Under the repeated attacks, gashes quickly appeared all over Qingfeng’s body.

SWOOSH!

The eagle-vulture Demon King let out a sharp cry, its steel-like claws viciously grabbing for Qingfeng’s shoulders.

"Damn it! Illusory Sword Art—Gentle Wind Slash!"

The cyan longsword flashed in his hand. Qingfeng let out a sharp cry as his sword erupted with countless rays of light. Countless cyan Wind Blades appeared in the air, madly slashing toward the eagle-vulture Demon King.

He was going all out, because he knew very well that if this continued, he wouldn’t last much longer.

PSH, PSH!

Countless Wind Blades fell upon the eagle-vulture Demon King like raindrops, cutting bloody gashes across its body. Black feathers drifted down, spattered with droplets of blood.

"YII!"

The eagle-vulture Demon King was enraged. Its dark golden eyes spun like kaleidoscopes. It opened its sharp beak, and a black rainbow of light shot out, reaching Qingfeng in an instant.

’Not good!’

Qingfeng only had time to raise his longsword horizontally in front of his chest before he was sent flying wretchedly. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his robes shattering from the blow to reveal the inner armor beneath.

WHOOSH!

The two Demon Kings didn’t pause for a moment, charging madly toward him again with ferocious looks in their eyes.
