Chapter 844: 844
Hardly had he given his warning when the withered tree behind Jin Xinyue turned into what seemed to be a human being . The dry branches turned into sharp limbs, which pierced toward the middle of Jin Xinyue's wings!
The demon that looked like dry wood, a beetle, and a human being was covered in multiple layers of gray and brown armor . Except for his arms that were particularly long, almost ten blade limbs had grown out of his ribs and his back . His legs were twisted backwards, but his speed was unbelievably high .
His attack was as quick as a lightning, but Jin Xinyue seemed to have grown eyes on the back of her head . Her golden wings slashed at the knees of the demon, one from left and the other from right, like two fast sabers .
"Yuan Hao, I knew you'd been hiding here!"
The demon named 'Yuan Hao' seemed to be caught off guard by Jin Xinyue's sudden counterattack . He hurriedly aborted his attack and dashed backward .
However, a sharp thorn suddenly protruded out of the ground where Jin Xinyue was standing and pierced through her foot!
Jin Xinyue gasped because of the excruciating pain . She fled back to the forest, but another ten or so sharp thorns spurted out of the ground again and blocked her path of escape like haunting ghosts .
Yuan Hao, who had just retreated, stomped on a giant tree and lunged at her again with the counterforce amid hideous laughter .
The two of them passed each other . Jin Xinyue grunted . Countless feathers fell off from her to the ground slowly like golden scales .
Like a wounded crane, Jin Xinyue stood on a branch on one foot while she eyed the insects crawling out of the earth, her sweet smile entirely gone . She gnashed her teeth . "Yuan Du!"
Jin Xinyue was certainly not as tranquil as she appeared to be .
Yuan Du and Yuan Hao were both princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom . They were also Elder Nether Spring's most distinguished disciples and both in the level of demon king .
She might have been confident if she had to deal one of them, but her odds of winning were little to none when she was faced with the two of them at the same time .
Besides, the Nether Spring Kingdom was a nation of the underground Insect Clan . In a forest with rough terrain, the Insect Clan boasted natural advantages . The Feathered Clan, including Jin Xinyue, soared in the sky and was known for its speed . They could not make use of their advantages in a forest .
What did the Blade of Chaos steal from Elder Nether Spring exactly? He has sent his two most distinguished disciples to hunt it down after such a long trip even at the cost of the invaluable Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes!
Every Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes was more precious than a regular demon beast . In every battle, it was not uncommon for hundreds of Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes to be killed . Even though Elder Nether Spring was one of the twelve demon emperors, he would not use the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes randomly .
Jin Xinyue glanced over the entire battlefield . Inside the dim forest, the Gold Shadow Guardians that she had brought with her had mostly been killed by the sudden assault of the Insect Clan, especially those who died of blood loss because of the absorption of the Ghost Face Purple Mosquitoes . They were nothing but skeletons and could not have looked more miserable .
Jin Xinyue secretly cursed . She glanced at the sky, too, which was blocked by the dense crowns of trees . She was quite certain that the crowns of the trees must have been packed with deadly venomous bugs . She could even feel that lethal poison was dripping from the tops of the trees slowly .
Yuan Du, prince of the Nether Spring Kingdom who crawled out of the earth just now, was just as ugly as other insect demons . He looked like a tall human being who was wearing bionic armor . Glamorous stripes were spotted on the finely-made shell of the armor, which were emanating splendid colors despite the dimness of the forest .
Two long horns that looked like spears were protruding from his face, which was also covered in the shell . He looked rather handsome by the standard of human beings .
However, a hint of evilness was flowing in his eyes, and his eyeballs were flickering all the time, which made whoever saw him feel that there were bugs crawling all over their heart .
"Yuan Du, Yuan Hao, you two brothers are really outrageous!" Jin Xinyue shouted . "Are you not afraid of a total war between the Gold Crow Kingdom and the Nether Spring Kingdom after this?"
Yuan Du and Yuan Hao looked like each other with a smile . Yuan Du extended his hand to Jin Xinyue and said casually, "Give it to me . "
His voice was dull and thick, mixed with humming noises, as if a cluster of earth was stuffed in his throat .
Jin Xinyue rolled her eyes and giggled . "Yuan Hao, as I recall, weren't you the one in charge of the pursuit of the item? Why is your big brother here, too? It seems that Elder Nether Spring does not trust you at all . But it makes sense, too . Everybody knows that your brother is the real powerful one in the Nether Spring Kingdom; you are just his lackey! Even in front of Elder Nether Spring, your brother has always been the one that your master likes more . This time, it is still your brother who finished the hunting task and retrieved the ultimate treasure . It seems that his position in the Nether Spring Kingdom and in the eyes of Elder Nether Spring is even more unshakable now, isn't it?"
Yuan Hao was dazed for a moment . His grin somehow turned rigid .
Yuan Du burst into fury . "Jin Xinyue, what are you talking about?"
Jin Xinyue was smiling even more delightedly . "Fine . Today, I miscalculated and fell into your trap . It does not matter that I must give away the item now, but I will only give it to you, Yuan Hao!"
Before the two princes of the Nether Spring Kingdom responded, Jin Xinyue raised her hand, and a streak of redness rushed toward Yuan Hao .
Yuan Hao intended to pick up the object out of natural instincts, but Yuan Du simply retreated without a comment .
