Chapter 126: I am the Flame King Qilin
Zhang Ping was startled and quickly dodged.
The crimson lightning beam grazed his side, its residual force blocked by the Xuanwu Armor.
When they looked at Sha Kui again, he was already furious.
Zhang Ping remained silent, and the long sword in his hand rapidly materialized.
He's not afraid to fight if he wants to. This is a good opportunity to hone my skills with the Ghost Blade and speed up my final step.
"Black Tiger King, kill him with me!" Thunder surged around Sha Kui, who was furious.
Seeing this, the Black Tiger King spread its four amethyst wings and charged towards Zhang Ping!
The two sides clashed, unleashing thunderous winds and towering waves of blades; the battle was even more massive than the one on the adjacent battlefield.
Miao Caixin waved her hand and released a swarm of Gu worms to force He Changhong back. Looking back and seeing this scene, she hoped that Zhang Ping could behead the demon.
If it were simply a matter of attracting attention, she wouldn't need to personally lead the high-ranking experts of the Holy Mountain out; simply sending a few Marrow Transformation Realm warriors to probe the surrounding area would be enough to achieve a restraining effect.
She decided to come to this great battle because she still held onto a last glimmer of hope—a sliver of hope for Zhang Ping.
If Zhang Ping can kill the Black Tiger King, then even more of the millions of people in the royal city will be able to escape.
For those people, whether they went south to sea or went to the Western Poison Forest, it was better than waiting to die in the royal city.
However, Miao Caixin did not expect that in addition to the Black Tiger King, there was another demon king she had never seen before.
The previous plans are unlikely to be realized.
Miao Caixin felt a pang of regret and a touch of guilt.
Even if Zhang Ping is put in danger, it is for the sake of the millions of people in the royal city.
When she stopped, He Changhong did not continue her attack. Instead, she took out a Gu worm from her waist and pressed it against the wound on her body.
He kept a wary eye on Miao Caixin.
"Miao Caixin, you can't win, why don't you join the Demon Lord like me? Maybe you can save millions of people in the royal city. Don't you want them to live?" He Changhong suddenly said with a deep smile, using psychological tactics.
Miao Caixin was naturally unaffected by his interference, her expression unchanged as she glanced at the battlefield.
Overall, the warriors from the Holy Mountain held the advantage, suppressing the experts from the Eastern Territory. However, killing an Eastern Territory warrior was difficult. After all, few who could cultivate to the Marrow Entry Realm were simpletons.
Therefore, there is no point in continuing the fight.
Miao Caixin slowly gathered her qi and blood, and with a slight movement of her red lips, she was about to give the order to retreat.
But at that moment, a bright sun suddenly appeared on the gloomy horizon.
A fiery red light illuminated the horizon and was rapidly approaching this place!
"That's...?"
Everyone noticed this strange phenomenon. As the sun approached, the martial artists could feel the surrounding air boiling!
Zhang Ping remained silent, only brandishing his knife.
As soon as the sun rose and he felt a slight burning sensation on his forehead, his expression changed.
"Hahaha! It's that Yan Wang bastard! Zhang Ping, today I'll make sure you die here!"
Unlike Zhang Ping, Sha Kui burst into laughter, and arcs of electricity crackled rapidly around his body.
Flame King?
Its voice was undisguised, and everyone heard it.
Zhang Ping's face was gloomy, and without saying a word, he rushed towards Miao Caixin.
Seeing this, Sha Kui and the Black Tiger King tried to stop him, but were distracted by the golden light of the eye flames emanating from Zhang Ping's eyes, and a wave of blades blocked their way.
"Zhang Ping! What do you want to do!" Fearing that Zhang Ping would take this opportunity to slaughter the warriors of the Eastern Territory, the Black Tiger King roared.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang?" Miao Caixin's face showed a hint of doubt as she saw Zhang Ping flying towards her.
Zhang Ping had already reached her side and suddenly placed his hand on her waist with lightning speed.
Instantly, Miao Caixin realized that her flesh and blood were being manipulated. Her expression changed drastically, and she was about to resist when Zhang Ping shouted angrily at her:
"Walk!"
After saying that, Zhang Ping pulled her into his arms and she disappeared in a streak of light.
Upon seeing this, the other powerful figures from the Holy Mountain immediately understood Zhang Ping's meaning, and they dared not linger any longer. They were willing to suffer some injuries in order to quickly leave the battlefield.
He Changhong snapped out of his daze and immediately turned his spear towards Miao Zhan, whose face was contorted with rage: "See that? A dog is a dog! That woman slept with someone she just met, and she wouldn't even let you touch her!"
As the powerful warriors of the Holy Mountain fled, the sun descended from the horizon.
It was a unicorn with the body of a deer and the body of a horse, its entire body covered with fine scales!
Its eyes were like those of a dragon, within which dark stars swirled. It descended from the horizon on fiery clouds, its body wreathed in deadly flames, distorting the surrounding air with their heat.
"I am the Flame King Qilin!"
......
A meteor crashed into the summit of the sacred mountain. The royal elders guarding the mountain immediately came to check and their expressions changed slightly when they saw Miao Caixin being held by Zhang Ping.
"Your Majesty."
Once the ground was firmly planted, Zhang Ping put Miao Caixin down.
This is the summit of the sacred mountain, its height far exceeding the clouds. He deliberately concealed his aura when he returned, so apart from some powerful figures within the sacred mountain, no one else knew.
Feeling that her body was no longer under her control, Miao Caixin immediately distanced herself from Zhang Ping, her gaze towards him filled with fear.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, the clan elder casually moved to Miao Caixin's side: "Your Majesty, what has happened? Weren't you leading men to intercept the rebels?"
Miao Caixin shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just a little accident."
On the other side, Zhang Ping stood there quietly, without saying a word. But her expression was clearly unpleasant.
"Elder, go quickly and tell the allied forces to prepare for battle; the rebels might attack." Miao Caixin sent the elder away.
He looked apologetically at Zhang Ping: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm truly sorry, I didn't inform you beforehand about this ambush."
Zhang Ping snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on her: "Now, can the essence gu be refined?"
Noticing the change in Zhang Ping's attitude, Miao Caixin sighed.
"I did not deceive you, fellow Daoist. The Essence Gu indeed needs to be refined on the first Yang day. It will take another nine days."
Nine days later, winter will be over, and spring will begin.
It is also known as the "Sunny Day" among the people of southern Xinjiang.
Such a "one-day-of-yang" occurs once every month. Zhang Ping doesn't know how it came about, but he knows...
Another demon king has arrived in the Southern Frontier, which absolutely proves that the so-called demonic grand plan is not far off.
It's very likely to happen in the next few days.
If Miao Caixin wasn't lying to him, he would need to delay for at least nine more days to obtain the essence gu.
The difficulty involved is considerable.
Even if the Demon Lord arrives in the end, he will probably only have the option of running away.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ping suppressed his anger and spoke to Miao Caixin:
"If Fellow Daoist Miao can find a way to refine the essence Gu today, I guarantee your safety and will take some of the royal family members with me to live in the Western Poison Forest."
Zhang Ping's eyes were fixed on the woman; he was already beginning to distrust her.
As a king, he was deep and calculating. He was unsure how much the other party was plotting, or whether the spirit gu would ultimately be successfully refined.
Although he came with Miao Caiyan's token, he never expected that she would help him wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return.
Therefore, they were prepared to spend some time and effort from the beginning, and even took the initiative to offer Dragon Spirit Wood leaves to help the royal family secure a safe haven in the Western Poison Forest.
However, there are limits to this.
Miao Caixin could see Zhang Ping's distrust, and she pursed her red lips.
The wind stopped, then started again.
Strands of hair, disheveled during the battle, fluttered in the wind, falling beside her exquisitely beautiful face.
As she lowered her head, her eyes were obscured.
After a while, she didn't look up, but turned around and faced away from Zhang Ping.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the clouds, looking down upon the millions of people within the royal city.
The voice was calm: "Fellow Daoist, you extended a helping hand to Southern Xinjiang during its time of crisis. Cai Xin will do everything in her power to refine a Spirit Gu for you. The method for refining the Spirit Gu is absolutely genuine."
