Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2404 - 2423: Escalating Crisis

"Whoosh~" When Yusuf Zuck was escorting the Xiahou Matriarch to the backyard, the Divine Monarch Mingyang also arrived, his speed scarcely slower than Yusuf’s. And as he made a slow motion with both his left and right hands, the Yin Yang energy emerged instantly.

The Yin Yang energy, one white and one black, formed two chain-like energy ropes that swept toward Yusuf Zuck and the Xiahou Matriarch.

At this moment, the Black Bull Demon King took action, knowing that if he didn’t, it would be too late. His master was no match for a Creator Realm powerhouse. Even though his master had nearly reached the Creator Realm and could easily kill anyone with Eternal Perfection, the gap between the Creator Realm and Eternity Realm was like the distance between heaven and earth, an insurmountable chasm. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

So no matter how strong his master was, he could not withstand the attack of a Creator Realm powerhouse.

The Black Bull transformed into human form and hid Yusuf behind him. As the Yin Yang energy swept in, he roared ferociously, grabbing the Yin and Yang energies with both hands.

One hand Yin, one hand Yang, the Yin and Yang energy was caught, and then with a loud bang, the Yin Yang energy exploded. Divine Monarch Mingyang had never expected a Creator Realm Black Bull Demon King to be hiding there.

Having seen a lot in life and knowing some history, he shrieked upon seeing the Black Bull appear: "You are Dail, the Black Bull Demon King, heavens, how is this possible."

"Cackle, impossibilities abound, you scoundrel, taste my old bull’s axe." At some unknown point, the Black Bull Demon King had a black giant axe in his hand, aiming a mighty swing at Divine Monarch Mingyang in the sky.

"Hmph, do you think I, the Great Monarch, would fear you?" With a cold snort, Divine Monarch Mingyang clasped his hands before his chest, summoning a Yin Yang Tai Chi formation aimed at the giant axe. One hand pointed skyward and the other towards the ground, heaven as Yang, earth as Yin, forming a delicate interaction centered on him.

"He’s borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth," gasped the Xiahou Matriarch.

Yusuf Zuck’s expression turned exceptionally grave as he could only hope the Black Bull would live up to his name and defeat this villain.

"Boom~" The Black Bull’s giant axe was immensely powerful, and as Dail, the Black Bull Demon King, he smashed the Yin Yang Tai Chi formation directly. At that moment, the power of heaven and earth that Divine Monarch Mingyang had channelled formed another Yin Yang axe, larger than the Black Bull’s head, and as he twitched a finger, the axe came crashing down.

"Cackle, my old bull fears not you." The Black Bull roared madly. A battle-crazed bull, he knew not the meaning of fear, charging headlong even if the opponent was formidable.

The immense axe of sectarian power collided with the Black Bull’s axe again, producing a resounding boom, sending the Black Bull flying and howling, while the heaven-and-earth-formed gigantic axe shook unstably, on the brink of collapse, and Divine Monarch Mingyang’s face turned ghostly pale.

In this bout, both had used their full strength, resulting in a stalemate.

Divine Monarch Mingyang’s face clouded over. He had not anticipated an encounter with a Creator Realm demon, thwarting his plans to decimate the Xiahou clan, now hoping only to leave unscathed.

"Cackle, come on, I, the old bull, have strength aplenty." The Black Bull Demon King laughed heartily, unafraid, yet he hadn’t even transformed into his true form yet.

In his true form, his strength would reach another level entirely.

Seeing the Black Bull still full of vitality, Divine Monarch Mingyang lost the will to fight. Continuing the battle seemed futile, it was better to conserve strength and plot again. Hence, with a grumble, he prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, two powerful energy waves descended from the sky, causing both Divine Monarch Mingyang and the Black Bull Demon King, along with Yusuf and the Xiahou Matriarch, to turn deathly pale.

The daunting aura of two Creator Realm powerhouses surrounded them, as these two lurked nearby.

"Mingyang, after all these years, is this all you amount to?" a woman’s voice echoed, as suddenly, a woman in a red dress, still carrying an air of charm, appeared in the night sky.

"Hehe, Dail the Black Bull Demon King, this large demon has shown itself once more; looks like chaos is indeed brewing in the world, with demons appearing everywhere." A male voice followed, and a sprightly young man appeared.

Upon seeing these two individuals from the backyard, Yusuf Zuck’s pupils contracted abruptly. He had seen them before in the depths of Cal Petty’s soul memory. These two had sought Cal’s daughter, Kenji May, who had already been taken by the white-bearded old man by the time they arrived.

Yet today, these two appeared in Bu Zhou City, at this very scene.

Yusuf instinctively sensed danger, and the Black Bull’s expression grew solemn. He could contend with one, but not all three in alliance. Should any one of them engage him, the remaining two could decimate the Xiahou clan, including his master.

The situation grew tense all of a sudden.

"So, it’s you, Lady Third and Elder Fire. I wondered who, yet you both have also achieved creation?" Though relieved, Divine Monarch Mingyang addressed them; both were from his era, neither friends nor foes.

Back in the day, Lady Third was notorious, practicing an Evil Cultivation Method and employing the art of energy absorption, and the boy named Huoyun Yan was already ancient before achieving creation, regaining youth after.

"Hehe, Mingyang, how about a deal?" Lady Third chuckled, "Elder Fire and I merely want Gabriel Freeman. The rest of the Xiahou women are yours; what do you say?"

"Impossible. I’m also here for Gabriel Freeman; I demand one-third of his Essence Blood. That’s only fair. As for the Xiahou Matriarch, do you suppose I wish to toy with her?"

"You..." The Xiahou Matriarch nearly choked on her rage, such galling words.

"Fine, but only one-third of the Essence Blood, and let’s form an alliance by oath— no betrayals behind each other’s back," Elder Fire said solemnly.

"Hehe, there’s no need for an oath," Divine Monarch Mingyang scoffed with a cold smile. "Do I not know an oath means nothing to you, so I’ll take the Essence Blood only, let’s not betray each other."

"Besides, this Black Bull won’t be easily dealt with," he added coldly.

"Indeed, revealing myself this time is also for this Black Bull," Lady Third smiled and said, "We found this in the Fire Cloud Cave and were wondering where to find him. Surprised to find him hidden here, we revealed ourselves." As she spoke, she took out a black collar.

The Black Bull Demon King was about to curse, but upon seeing the black collar, it was as if his tail had been stomped. He shrieked and darted toward Yusuf, shouting, "Master, save me. I’m no match. That is the Qiankun Ring; in the past, I suffered at its hands. How did it end up with them?!"
