Chapter 656: Chapter 289: Fighting Alone Across Three Thousand Miles (Part 2)

Whether it’s the bounty of the Dragon Clan or the influence of the Black Tortoise Demon King.

The two exchanged glances.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Guang’s eyes as he instantly mimicked Zheng Li’s arrogant and irritable voice, amplifying his demonic power, and shouted angrily outside the palace.

"Rong Kui! Get lost! I don’t have time to deal with you! I’m at a crucial point in my blood refinement, if you dare to make noise again, I’ll rip you apart as a snack!"

The voice was full of impatience and brutality, closely resembling Zheng Li’s usual style.

Xu Guang wasn’t sure if this could deceive the Demon King outside, as he transmitted his voice and prepared to act.

Outside the palace, Rong Kui seemed momentarily silenced by this rude response, then he sneered coldly twice.

"Still the same bad temper! Fine, take your time enjoying, I’ll come back to bother you another day!" With that, the demon qi fluctuations gradually receded into the distance.

Although they temporarily bluffed Rong Kui away, both knew well that this was not a long-term solution.

With Xu Guang not appearing for a long time, given Xu Guang’s previous infiltration into the Black Tortoise Demon Palace, most in Dark Abyss City would suspect Xu Guang had infiltrated someone’s demon palace again.

If the sea tribe started to pressure more, the people of Dark Abyss City might not hesitate to turn the Maze Sea upside down.

"We need to split up," Xu Guang decided decisively.

"I’ll go out and stir things up, drawing all attention to myself. You stay here, using the demon palace’s cover, to fully study these forbidden techniques and find clues and methods to the Sea Eye Altar."

Yan Ruge frowned, "You’ll be too dangerous alone! Experts in Dark Abyss City are countless, the number of Second Tribulation Demon Kings is not less than ten!"

"No problem," Xu Guang’s expression remained calm, but his gaze was sharp as a knife.

"If I can’t beat them, can’t I still outrun them? It’s just right, to use them to test the new methods I’ve realized."

He paused, looking at Yan Ruge, "You need time to study the forbidden techniques in Zheng Li’s demon palace, and I can buy you that time. Besides, as vast as the Maze Sea is, without finding the Sea Eye Altar, it will just be a cornered beast fight. This is currently the only way to break this situation."

Yan Ruge was silent for a moment, knowing that what Xu Guang said was true.

She took a deep breath, her eyes becoming determined, "Alright! You buy me time, and I’ll definitely find the secret of the Sea Eye!"

She walked to the massive corpse of Zheng Li, a trace of resolve flashing in her eyes, "Before you leave, I’ll give you one more gift!"

She formed signs with both hands, starlight flowed from her fingertips, enveloping Zheng Li’s corpse, especially focusing on the wing bones containing the faint power of K’un Peng bloodline.

"I will use the Star Refinement method, combining with his remaining bloodline essence, to refine for you a flying magical artifact—the ’Mimic Wings’!

Once activated, by paying the cost of potential damage to the magical artifact, it can grant you near K’un Peng speed for a short time, perhaps allowing you to escape from those Second Tribulation Demons!"

Xu Guang didn’t refuse, nodding heavily, "Thank you!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The refining process lasted several months.

Without sparing her life source, Yan Ruge refined Zheng Li’s wing bones into a pair of gossamer-thin, glimmering transparent wings, naturally imbued with ephemeral mist, which not only could increase speed but also interfere with tracking.

Xu Guang refined the Mimic Wings into his body, feeling the powerful wind and thunder power within, a sense of the ethereal arose within him.

"Wait for my news."

He glanced deeply at Yan Ruge, hesitated no more, and with a flickering motion, vanished silently from Zheng Li’s demon palace.

The ’Conceal’ forbidden technique on his arm glowed faintly, perfectly masking all his presence.

After leaving a certain range from Zheng Li’s demon palace, Xu Guang actively dismissed the concealment, as the aura of the Soul Blood Pursuing Soul Order on his brow lit up again like a beacon in the dark.

His gaze icy cold, locked onto one direction—Rong Kui’s lair!

If there’s to be chaos, let it be earth-shattering!

Rong Kui was in his grotto, drinking and making merry, pondering Zheng Li’s recent odd behavior, when suddenly, an unparalleled icy killing intent pierced into his senses like an ice pick.

He looked up abruptly and saw a black-clad figure, who had at some point appeared at the grotto entrance, coldly staring at him.

"You..." Rong Kui vaguely found the visitor familiar, then suddenly realized something, "Xu Guang? No, the person in the demon palace that day, it was you!? Where’s Zheng Li?"

"Sent you down to meet him," Xu Guang couldn’t be bothered with words and struck directly.

The Green Emperor and Black Emperor two divine entities manifested simultaneously!

The true meaning of the death spread, causing the demon soldiers within the grotto to wither instantly; the Black Emperor manipulated water, transforming it into unyielding chains of profound ice, sealing off all sides.

Xu Guang’s main body then displayed the soldier training and Returning Hidden divine techniques, slashing with a sword, the blood sun phenomenon compressed to the extreme, carrying with it the power of annihilation, straight for Rong Kui’s head.

Rong Kui was both shocked and enraged, roaring as countless white threads appeared around him, instantly weaving into a giant, immensely strong nest-like shield, his innate divine technique—"Ten Thousand Weave Nest"!

Boom!!!

The Returning Hidden fist force slammed into the nest shield mercilessly, producing a deafening roar.

The shield twisted violently, cracks appearing on it, but it didn’t shatter immediately, showcasing astonishing defense power.

"Quite capable!" Xu Guang’s gaze grew colder, the intent to kill was stirred, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire emerging from the void, following the water controlled by Black Emperor, turning into a sky full of blood-colored fire rain, fiercely burning and corroding the nest shield!

At the same time, with a thought, the Draconic Slayer talisman transformed Wyvern’s skeletal dragon appeared silently behind Rong Kui, opening its massive tooth-filled maw and biting down hard!

Rong Kui was attacked from front and back, and under the triple assault of the annihilating mortality, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and Wyvern’s bite, the nest shield finally couldn’t hold on, shattering with a thunderous blast!
