Chapter 260
Now it feels like I’ve been treated like garbage?
“...Could you not look at me for a moment?”
“?”
“I feel like your gaze is scolding me.”
Li Mo’s mind, already blank, now felt almost completely frozen.
Ying Bing raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly.
Scolded by a gaze?
But she was merely accepting the true spirit of Wang Kongque...
“But you’ve been staring at me this whole time.”
“My eyes have their own thoughts, you know that, and...”
Li Mo felt that transforming into a dragon whale was quite inconvenient. He had just wanted to change back when he realized something was off.
He hadn’t really thought about it; it was just that his attention was scattered.
“Hmph.”
Ying Bing’s expressionless face suddenly broke into a smirk.
She squinted her eyes, her bare foot pressing down on the back of his foot, rubbing back and forth.
After doing this, she felt a bit dazed herself.
This wasn’t something she would normally do...
“What about now?”
“Ugh...”
Plop—
A drop of deep red fell onto the soft, jade-like skin of her foot, resembling shattered red crystal.
So it was true.
The speculations of the other demons outside were, to some extent, correct.
Is this not called shedding blood?
Then what else could be called shedding blood?
.....
“Why is it taking so long to determine the victor?”
“Are they going to end up mutually destroying each other? That can’t happen.”
“I think we really need to go in and take a look; what if something goes wrong?”
“Huai Kong, the monk, Huai Kong?”
The demon kings and great demons were growing increasingly anxious.
If they truly ended up mutually destroying each other, it was not something any demon wanted to witness.
“Where are we going in?” Huai Kong, the monk, looked confused.
The problem was...
The monk had a poor memory.

Chapter 280: How Did They Get Stronger?
Within the Five Elements Realm.
“Could it be that they’ve perished together inside?” Zhi Duoluo thought it was a possibility.
If that were the case, although he could obtain the Jade Phoenix God, he would miss out on the true dragon bloodline and the true phoenix bloodline.
He wanted all of these things.
The other half-demons were eager to try their luck, some barely able to contain their desire to sneak a peek.
But Zhi Duoluo decided to wait a bit longer, letting the other half-demons prepare.
The battle between Wu Mo and Luan Bing, even if it hadn’t ended, should be nearing its conclusion.
The demons present, once quiet, began to murmur among themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, several half-demons had already slipped away from the crowd, lurking in the shadows.
And at that moment...
Boom—
The sky erupted with a cacophony of strange phenomena, like thunderclaps in a clear sky, and then all the anomalies converged towards the peak of the solitary mountain.
A single thought arose in the hearts of all the demons.
The divine jade from beyond the heavens... has chosen its master?
---
Outside.
Huai Kong, the monk, suddenly clasped his hands together and softly chanted a Buddhist mantra: “The monk has fulfilled his merits in the southern lands.”
The wisdom wheel behind his head seemed to flicker faintly once more.
He raised his head and saw the face of Shang Qinqing, the former demon saint, whose expression had long lost its smile.
Huai Kong dared not look at her, turning his gaze to the sky.
The scene atop the solitary mountain, however, left all who looked upon it in a daze. The vast courtyard of the main hall of the Hanging Temple fell silent in an instant.
“Who will the Jade Phoenix God ultimately belong to?”
“Ugh, looking at them, it seems the fight was quite fierce.”
.......
So, I accidentally got her little foot dirty; helping her clean it seems reasonable, right?
Little Li thought that one should bravely take responsibility for their actions.
So he decided to give it a good wipe.
Who knew it would just get messier...
And the more he wiped, the more it spread...
Until just now, he wasn’t sure if it was the Jade Phoenix God who couldn’t bear to watch, but it actively retracted its radiance and entered Ying Bing’s brow.
There wasn’t even time to complete the refining.
“I’m sure our unparalleled Tianjiao must have seized the divine jade from beyond the heavens!”
“Come on, a true dragon bloodline being beaten to a pulp?”
“The Qing Luan goddess is just pretending to be calm; look at her, a true phoenix bloodline, and she can’t even stand straight. Does she look like someone who has obtained the divine jade?”
The pure-blooded demons, unaware of the truth, began to argue about the situation unfolding before them.
And just then...
Caw—
A piercing cry shattered the air.
Dozens of figures shot into the sky, and among them, the leading demon was surrounded by a fierce golden roc, its wings blocking out the sun.
The half-demons had made their move!
They were revered as ‘sons of the gods’ for a reason.
Their strikes not only carried an inexplicable overwhelming bloodline power but also contained the true essence of human martial arts!
“Are you all out of energy?”
“In the struggle between dragons and phoenixes, did you ever think the one laughing last would be me, Zhi Duoluo?”
“Ha ha ha!”
He moved too quickly, his long knife resembling the wings of a golden roc, slashing through the air with ruthless ferocity.
The changes in the scene came too swiftly.
Not to mention the demons in the arena, even the demon kings outside had no time to react.
“Fortunately, I transformed back just in time.”
“Otherwise, the unparalleled Tianjiao would have collapsed...”
Just as Li Mo thought this, he suddenly felt a sharp force bearing down on him.
Instinctively, he pulled the girl behind him, and his body glowed with a golden light.
Bang~~~
Zhi Duoluo seemed to have struck a bell with his mysterious weapon, the sound resonating like a great bell that echoed endlessly.
“You~~ are~~ not~~...”
He was stunned, his voice trembling.
But in the next moment, it wasn’t just his body that went numb.
Those beautiful eyes that had locked onto him were filled with a chilling malice...
The other half-demons attacking paused, thinking, why was it suddenly so cold atop the solitary mountain in the Five Elements Realm?
Snowflakes were even starting to fall?
And there was an ice sculpture added to the mix...
Forget the ice sculpture; that was Zhi Duoluo!
In an instant, the half-demons looked as if they had seen a ghost.
“Let’s all attack together! They’re just bluffing; they’re actually out of energy!”
“They can’t possibly fend off five, six, or seven of us with just two hands!”
“If we join forces, we’ll make them regret it on the spot!”
Outside, the other demon clans had no realistic option of retreating now.
The half-demon from the Qiongqi clan, with wings sprouting from his back, suddenly let out a tiger’s roar. The phantom of Qiongqi above him absorbed the incense rising from his body, swelling dramatically.
As if a pure-blooded Qiongqi had truly descended.
Its fierce tiger eyes awakened, glaring at Ying Bing, it roared:
“Meow...”
Qiongqi’s son: “?”
The situation for the other half-demons was not much different; it was almost identical.
“Was the incense absorbed by those phantoms just now?”
Little Li, the Tianjiao, grabbed a hapless snake-like half-demon and slammed it down, pondering.
This reminded him of the shamanic ritual that day.
The true spirit seemed... indeed capable of growing stronger through the faith of others, and so could the consciousness, such as the method of viewing oneself as a deity, which nourished one’s own consciousness through the beliefs of others.
Emmmm...
But compared to the ice princess, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
When she first obtained the Jade Phoenix God, just releasing a hint of her consciousness exuded an aura that surpassed all the demons.
The so-called divine intent of these so-called sons was inherently suppressed.
Seeing this, the avian clan erupted in cheers, while the aquatic clan wore complex expressions.
The girl exuded an aura as if she were the leader of all demons; how could they not understand?
The Qing Luan goddess would henceforth represent the divine jade from beyond the heavens.
Moreover, as long as she did not fall, she would also be the revered one among the myriad demons of the southern lands.
But with her charisma, who could argue against it?
Among the monks of the Hanging Temple, Huai Kong, the monk, felt a sense of relief.
Shang Qinqing remained silent, her joyful gaze tinged with complexity.
“Our days in the Ming Jiao clan are likely going to be tough from now on,” Wu Qing said sadly.
“My dear, I don’t think so,” Murong Feng chuckled, stroking his beard.
Wu Qing looked at her husband in confusion, only to see him smiling without saying a word, playing a riddle, so she pinched his waist.
“Ouch... my dear, let go; this isn’t the place for talking...”
The various demon clans were buzzing with discussion, but none had any intention of helping.
Because it wasn’t necessary.
By the time they arrived, the battle would likely already be over.
....
Meanwhile.
In the Five Elements Realm, this battle had indeed reached its conclusion.
Zhi Duoluo had just broken free from the ice when he saw a hammer coming down.
He couldn’t fathom in his wildest dreams how these two had become stronger than before their conflict.
