Ten Tailed Fox

Chapter 2179 Guardian Beast, Golden Feather

He slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze turning sinister and cold: "That fool Qian Tingluo, because he couldn't see the situation clearly, insisted on following the Emperor of Fengdu to attack Qiyuan Realm, ignoring my advice. And what was the result? Hmph, his fate is unknown, he has probably already turned into a wisp of ashes in Qiyuan Realm."

"It's good that he's dead. I'm the only king left in the Asura race. I am the true leader."

“You two are the last remaining tough nuts to crack in the Asura clan.” Hua Man slowly raised her hand, and a vortex of purplish-black immortal power began to condense in her palm. The surrounding space could not withstand this power and made a teeth-grinding cracking sound. Tiny black spatial cracks wandered around her fingertips.

"I originally intended to spare your lives and make you my lackeys, but unfortunately, you are stubborn and unyielding."

Hua Man's tone turned indifferent, as if she were sentencing two ants to death: "Since that's the case, then I'll borrow your heads and kill you. This will be my way of completely severing my ties with the past, and it will be the best proof of my allegiance to the heavens."

despair.

Endless despair overwhelmed Yamcha and Kharaqanta.

Inside this sealed main hall, facing a Celestial King at the height of his power, the severely wounded and dying had absolutely no chance of escape.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified into tangible mercury, and each breath required all my strength.

Yanguye Tuo felt his consciousness begin to blur, and his vision gradually filled with blood.

He was unwilling to accept this. He had practiced asceticism and endured many hardships. Was he really going to die at the hands of this traitor?
"ended."

Hua Man uttered three words indifferently, and the purplish-black vortex in her palm suddenly expanded, transforming into a terrifying demonic hand that blotted out the sky and sun, carrying an aura of destruction, and slammed down fiercely towards the two of them.

Before the terrifying pressure even landed, the black stone bricks on the ground had already crumbled inch by inch and turned into dust.

The shadow of death completely enveloped the main hall of Tianku City.

That dark purple hand, capable of blotting out the sky and crushing everything, was only three inches away from the skulls of Yanguye Tuo and Khalo Qian Tuo.

The deadly gale, like countless tiny steel knives, had already severed their protective immortal power, leaving even finer wounds on their blood-stained faces.

In Yanguye Tuo's murky eyes, the last glimmer of light seemed to be swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

At this critical moment.

"Boom!"

A deep, muffled roar, like the heartbeat of the Netherworld, suddenly exploded deep underground in the main hall of Tianku City.

The muffled sound carried an ancient and savage rhythm, instantly dissipating some of the killing intent that had gathered in Hua Man's palm.

The purplish-black demonic hand, about to fall, paused slightly in mid-air, and a slight ripple of instability appeared as the ground trembled.

"Hmm?" Hua Man frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across her aged yet handsome face. Her previously aloof and indifferent expression was shattered by this sudden turn of events.

Rumble!
Immediately afterwards, the entire main hall of Tianku City began to shake violently.

This grand hall, which has stood for countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of the Asura race, seemed to be groaning in pain at this moment.

The stone slabs on the ground, engraved with ancient runes, cracked inch by inch like fragile porcelain. Dazzling golden-red light gushed out from the cracks in the ground, accompanied by an intense, nauseating smell of blood and a resentment that had been building up for tens of thousands of years.

“That is…” Khalo Qiantuo’s originally ashen eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared intently at the cracked earth beneath his feet.

"Roar!" A shrill and mournful roar seemed to tear through the barriers of space, soaring into the sky with boundless rage.

The hatred contained in that voice was so intense that it could shatter even an immortal's Dao heart.

Click! Click! Click!

With a series of crisp sounds of metal breaking, the ground in the center of the main hall exploded completely.

Countless fragments of rock shot out, and amidst the dust and smoke, a massive golden figure, accompanied by a rain of blood, burst forth from the abyss beneath the earth.

It was a giant bird, but it had long lost its former majesty.

Its body, which should have been covered in brilliant golden feathers, was now a mess.

Most of its feathers were plucked out, revealing the withered, gray flesh and bare bones beneath.

Nine jet-black bone-piercing nails were inserted into its chest, each nail engraved with vicious runes that drained life essence. The blood flowing from the wound was no longer ordinary blood, but life essence with a pale golden hue.

"It is... the guardian beast of the Asura race, Golden Feather!" Khara Qian Tuo's eyes widened in disbelief.

In his early years, he had heard that the Asura clan had a guardian beast that was a powerful Immortal King, but he had never seen it. Many people even speculated that this was fake news and did not exist at all, and that the Asura clan was just bluffing.

However, Khalo Qian Tuo knew that Jin Yu was real, because there was a portrait of Jin Yu in his family, which was said to have been seen by his father and drawn by him.

Khara Qian Tuo still remembers that the golden feather in the painting, with its wings spread wide enough to blot out the sky, was once the proudest totem of the Asura race.

But now, it is thin and weak, its once sharp eyes now filled with madness and bloodshot, staring intently at the garland in mid-air.

"Flower Garland!!!"

Although Jin Yu could not transform into human form, the sound waves exploded like thunder in the main hall, and every word was like a tearful accusation squeezed out from between his teeth.

How could it not hate?

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it regarded the Flower Garland as a rising star of the Asura race, obeyed its every word, and even offered its essence blood to help him break through when he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation.

But who would have thought that this descendant it had watched grow up would turn out to be an ungrateful wretch?

In order to break through to the Immortal King realm, Hua Man took advantage of its weakness and imprisoned it in the underground of Tianku City with an immortal array, extracting its essence and blood every year to temper itself.

The excruciating pain of being skinned alive day and night, a living hell, had long since burned away its reason, leaving only this raging fire of revenge.

"You beast, I've raised you for so many years, yet you still have the strength to break free of the Nine Ghosts Soul-Nailing Array." Hua Man hovered in mid-air, her purple robes fluttering in the wind.

Facing this Celestial King-level divine beast, there was no trace of guilt in his eyes, only a faint mockery, "It seems that my actions just now were too great, disturbing the earth's veins, allowing you, this beast, to take advantage of the situation."

“However…” Hua Man’s lips curled into a cruel smile, “Now that you’re out, it saves me the trouble of going back to the dungeon to kill you. Your essence blood is already so thin that it can’t be thinner anymore, so it’s better to absorb your demon core.”

"You die!"

Jin Yu went completely berserk, disregarding its depleted demonic power and forcibly burning its last bit of strength.
