Chapter 204: Nine-Colored Deer: Why Do They Carry My Scent?
Hoo!
Cries of demon beasts resounded through the air as a dense swarm of flying demon beasts attacked the Divine Coffin. Among them were several seventh-rank demon beasts. Before they could even approach the coffin, a barrage of powerful attacks rained down.
“So much meat! Little Brother, don’t let a single one escape.”
Through the projection of the Divine Coffin, Chu Xin’s mouth watered as she gazed at the swarming flying demon beasts. With a wave of her fair, little hand, she conjured a spatial gate.
“Alright!”
Chu Chen responded, carrying the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi as he followed his sister, Chu Xin, into the spatial gate.
The lid of the Divine Coffin slid open, revealing a small opening, and the two siblings flew out.
“Little Pig, get to work.”
Chu Chen tossed the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi he was holding into the air.
Roar!
The Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi resumed its true form in mid-air, emitting a deafening dragon roar. A Saint Saber, a Saint Sword, black lightning, and red flames all surged around its body.
“Stupid pig, don’t use the lightning or flames, you’ll ruin the meat.”
Seeing this, Chu Xin quickly shouted a reminder.
Roar!
Hearing her words, the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi quickly retracted the black lightning and red flames, leaving only the Saint Saber and Saint Sword hovering near the dragon horns on its two pig heads.
It had only recently refined these two Saint Weapons and was eager to test their power.
Buzz!
The Saint Saber and Saint Sword vibrated, unleashing a torrent of saber and sword Qi that swept towards the surrounding flying demon beasts.
Wherever they passed, the agonizing screams of demon beasts echoed through the air.
Apart from the few seventh-rank demon beasts and some powerful peak sixth-rank demon beasts that managed to escape the overwhelming assault, the remaining fourth and fifth-rank demon beasts were practically defenseless.
The commotion attracted the attention of the cultivators on the ground.
“Two little brats, a strange demon beast that can control both saber and sword laws, and a coffin?”
The cultivators were stunned by this bizarre combination.
At that moment, Chu Chen’s figure flickered, weaving through the swarm of sixth-rank demon beasts. With a wave of his chubby little hand, he slapped each one, knocking them all unconscious.
Meanwhile, Chu Xin controlled the Divine Coffin, sucking in the corpses of the demon beasts slain by the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi and those knocked unconscious by Chu Chen.
The two siblings and the pig worked together seamlessly, swiftly clearing the skies of flying demon beasts.
“This is too terrifying. Those were sixth-rank demon beasts, comparable to Martial Saints, and that little brat just knocked them out with a single slap each?”
One cultivator exclaimed in shock.
“Don’t you find this combination a bit familiar? I feel like I’ve heard of it somewhere.”
Another cultivator furrowed his brow, looking at the strange group with a hint of confusion.
“Yeah, it does seem a bit familiar.”
The cultivators fell into deep thought.
“Wait, I remember now! Isn’t this the two brats that the sect prodigies talked about, the ones who rampaged through the secret realm?”
Finally, one cultivator recalled, shouting in realization.
“It’s those two brats! What are they doing on Deer Island?”
The cultivators couldn’t help but frown. Many of them were veteran peak Martial Saints with ample combat experience. However, these two brats were capable of defeating the number one prodigy of the Nine Provinces, Long Shaotian, and even withstanding the combined might of seven veteran peak Martial Saints. They were truly formidable.
Although those seven veteran peak Martial Saints could only attack once, it was enough to prove the strength of these two brats.
Meanwhile, deep within Deer Island, in a stone cave, a deer with nine colors on its body and nine branches on its antlers suddenly raised its head, looking towards the sky above the island. A gentle, feminine voice echoed within the cave, “Why do they carry my scent?”
The mysterious power of the Provincial Sea could affect the Emperor’s Sense of Martial Emperors, but it had little impact on the demon beasts that had always cultivated here. She could clearly sense the milky scent emanating from the two human children in the sky.
A hint of human-like confusion appeared in the deer’s eyes. She couldn’t understand why two human children would carry her scent.
After a moment, she seemed to realize something, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. Her voice turned cold as she muttered, “Could they be that scoundrel’s children? That damn scoundrel, you came to my Deer Island and forced me…”
She stopped, seemingly too embarrassed to continue. Then, her tone shifted, becoming fierce, “Now your children have come to my Deer Island to kill my demon beasts. Do your whole family think I’m easy to bully? I’ll stomp your children to death.”
She rose from the ground, about to fly out, but suddenly stopped, whispering, “If I go out now, my revenge plan will be ruined.”
◈◈◈
“Damn brats, you’re here after all.”
Suddenly, she sensed four attacks imbued with the power of Rules rising from the island, rapidly approaching the two human children in the sky.
“Hmph, they’ve provoked four Martial Emperors. Looks like I don’t need to do anything.”
The Nine-Colored Deer snorted coldly and laid back down, but her Emperor’s Sense remained fixed on the sky, observing everything.
“Those four bad guys are here too.”
Chu Xin exclaimed in her childish voice. The Divine Coffin instantly appeared, shielding them.
Chu Chen, along with the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi, joined Chu Xin behind the Divine Coffin, channeling their energy into it.
Boom!
With several loud crashes, the attacks of the four Martial Emperors struck the Divine Coffin. The coffin shook, golden patterns flowed across its surface, and it was sent flying back dozens of feet before stabilizing. However, the Divine Coffin remained unscathed, and the two siblings and the Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi behind it were unharmed.
“Hiss!”
The cultivators gasped. What kind of treasure was this coffin? It actually withstood the combined attacks of four Martial Emperors.
“What a treasure!”
Provincial Governor Long, the Grand Elder Supreme, Liu Hongxu, and Li Tiankuang, the four Martial Emperors of Cangzhou, soared into the sky, their eyes gleaming with greed.
To be able to withstand the combined attacks of four Martial Emperors, this coffin’s grade was definitely beyond an Emperor Weapon, possibly even a Divine Artifact. If this coffin was a treasure from the Cang Mountain Demonic Valley, it might even be an Ancient Divine Artifact.
“Hand over the treasure!”
Li Tiankuang roared, transforming into a streak of light as he charged forward.
Provincial Governor Long, the Grand Elder Supreme, and Liu Hongxu also followed suit.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At that moment, four more figures shot into the sky, blocking the path of Provincial Governor Long and the others.
“Cangzhou Provincial Governor, why stoop to bullying two little toddlers?”
One of them said with a smile.
“Lei Zhan, if you want the Divine Coffin, just say so. There’s no need to pretend to be a good person,” Provincial Governor Long said coldly.
“Treasures belong to the virtuous. This has been the rule since ancient times.”
Another Martial Emperor from Lei Zhou spoke coldly.
“In that case, let’s see who’s more capable.”
Liu Hongxu snorted coldly and launched an attack.
In an instant, the eight Martial Emperors were engaged in a chaotic battle. Deer Island trembled, the sea churned, and the scene was spectacular.
The cultivators on the island were stunned. The treasure of Deer Island had not yet appeared, and the eight Martial Emperors were already fighting over a coffin. Did this mean they had a chance to seize the treasure of Deer Island?
With this thought, the cultivators became excited.
“Little Brother, get in the coffin.”
Seeing the eight Martial Emperors engaged in battle, Chu Xin whispered.
“Okay!”
Chu Chen, carrying the shrunken Two-Headed Fire Dragon Xi, followed Chu Xin into the Divine Coffin. The lid slammed shut.
Whoosh!
With a thought from Chu Xin, the Divine Coffin shot into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in an instant.
“Damn it!”
The eight Martial Emperors unleashed their Emperor’s Sense, but they could no longer sense the Divine Coffin. They couldn’t help but curse under their breath.
