Chapter 13 doesn't give them a chance!
If it were Yue Lingzhao in his Soul Emperor era, he could have beheaded this Super Douluo-level Shadow Demon General, breaking through at least three levels and doubling his Divine attribute, saving him a year of arduous cultivation.
Unfortunately, this improvement is negligible for her now, but... it's better than nothing.
Following the principle that "even a small mosquito is still meat," Le Lingzhao sped towards the strongest demon, following the aura. At the same time, she raised her hand and conjured a holy sword. Without looking back, she swung it backward, and a golden sword aura tens of feet long roared out.
The three demon leaders were terrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Because the Shadow Demon General ran the fastest, Yue Lingzhao had already moved to the front of the three demon commanders.
In their haste to flee towards the monarch, they ran headlong into Yue Lingzhao's sword energy and turned into dust.
With a soul power level of 98, Yue Lingzhao, after putting on the four-word battle armor, is not considered weak among the Limit Douluo.
Its sword energy was unstoppable. After killing three demon leaders, it cut through eight mountain peaks before dissipating with a roar.
Wherever the sword energy passed, demons were slaughtered.
With a mere flick of her hand and a sword strike, Le Lingzhao had slain all four demon commanders who had besieged the two young patriarchs of the Yuanen family, and had also cleared a considerable area in the process.
And it did not delay her in the slightest in her mission to annihilate the demon lord, Wu Jie.
Its combat power is comparable to that of a near-god.
Not far away, Leng Qingning was equally impressive.
His natal spirit fire transformed into a hundred-foot-tall purple phoenix, and the moment its wings unfolded, purple flames rained down from the sky.
Wherever it passed, the demons were instantly burned to ashes.
She shared the same idea as Le Lingzhao: to surround and kill the strongest extradimensional powerhouse, who was dozens of miles away, in this place.
On the spot, Yuan Entian, wearing tattered three-word battle armor, saw the two four-word battle armor masters heading straight for the enemy leader and did not stop for a moment.
He glanced at his brother who was rushing towards his sister-in-law, ignored the possible remaining demon soldiers, and with a surge of soul power, charged off in another direction.
The Yuanen family's battlefield against the demons was too scattered. Although the demons here had been wiped out, their clansmen were still fighting bitterly elsewhere.
……
Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao didn't waste a moment, and they dealt with both the demon commanders and the demon minions as they went.
Even so, the two were still a step too slow.
When the two streaks of light, one golden and one purple, arrived at the valley where the Demon Gate was located, they saw a gaunt figure rushing into the gate, while Yuan Enzhentian stood aside and did not stop him.
Leng Qingning landed in the valley, looking at the vanished demon passage, then at Yuanen Zhentian's tattered three-word battle armor, and couldn't help but frown: "Your Majesty Zhentian, why didn't you stop it?"
She knew that even without the four-word battle armor, Yuanen Zhentian was a genuine demigod and would definitely be able to sense that she and Le Lingzhao were on their way.
More importantly, although he looked disheveled, he was not injured and was fully capable of holding off that powerful being from another world until they arrived.
Yet he stood by and watched the great enemy who had slaughtered his people escape, which is truly perplexing.
Yuan Enzhentian did not answer, but looked at Ye Hui, who was lying unconscious on the ground not far away, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "This is my old husband's daughter-in-law."
Le Lingzhao looked at Ye Hui, sensing the strong evil aura within her. She frowned but didn't say anything more.
Yuan Enzhen took a deep breath and continued, "Her name is Ye Hui, and her martial soul is... a Fallen Angel! If nothing unexpected happens, the opening of the Demon Dimension portal is because of her..."
As he spoke, his heart was filled with pain. Countless images flashed through his mind: the sweet love between Ye Hui and his son, his resolute opposition, Ye Hui's steadfast decision to stop cultivating to prevent things from spiraling out of control, the joy of his granddaughter's birth, and the horrific scene of his clansmen being slaughtered...
But he had no choice but to save Ye Hui.
Yuan Enzhentian knew his son well; he was a romantic and would not want to live alone if Ye Hui were gone.
If both of them are gone, how will their six-year-old granddaughter survive?
So many people in the clan died because of Ye Hui. A six-year-old girl, without the protection of her parents, will surely have to bear the wrath of her clan.
He was the patriarch of the Yuanen family. Logically, he should have killed Ye Hui to give his family an explanation. However, he was also a father and a grandfather. He couldn't just watch his son walk down a dead end, and his granddaughter suffer the wrath of her family.
As long as Ye Hui is alive, Tian Dang won't necessarily go to his death, and there's still room for things to be resolved.
At worst... we'll just remove the whole family of three from the clan.
Yuan Enzhentian told everything, his voice filled with pain and struggle.
Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao had done a great favor for the Yuanen family, and he felt obligated to give them a satisfactory explanation, so he did not hide anything.
Although the two were unhappy with his decision to let the tiger return to the mountain, they could understand his predicament after hearing his explanation.
This situation would be difficult for anyone.
The demon lord Wu Jie traded Ye Hui's life for his own escape. If he didn't agree, he would undoubtedly be the culprit who destroyed his son's family.
Moreover, the demon lord Wu Jie was so decisive that it left people helpless.
Sensing the arrival of the two, he didn't even fight, but directly threatened Ye Hui's life, forcing Yuan Enzhentian to make way and let him leave.
In order to escape as soon as possible, he even compromised with Yuanen Zhentian, who was weaker than him, and extracted the so-called Purple Gold Royal Bloodline from Ye Hui's body, restoring her to human form.
Giving them absolutely no chance, it's hard to say whether it's being pragmatic or just being cowardly.
By pouring out his helplessness in one breath, Yuan Enzhentian was both explaining to the two of them and confiding in them.
He put away his badly damaged three-word battle armor and solemnly cupped his hands to the two men: "Thank you both for rescuing my Yuanen family from this crisis. May I ask your names?"
"Purple Phoenix!"
"Trial!"
Leng Qingning and Le Lingzhao put away their battle armor at the same time, showing the same respect to Yuanen Zhentian, a demigod-level powerhouse.
Their identities were easy to guess; Leng Qingning's title was Purple Phoenix, and Le Lingzhao's sacred aura was impossible to conceal.
Yuan Enzhen suppressed his shock and asked again, "Could you be a friend of the Phoenix Clan and the Angel Clan?"
The two had nothing to hide and nodded to each other.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yuan Enzhentian's shock lasted for several seconds before he slowly calmed down.
He coughed lightly and said apologetically, "I lost my composure just now."
After saying that, he gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "It seems that I have been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. I never thought that in addition to the ancient family with three limits, the Federation also has the Phoenix Family and the Angel Family with two limits."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingning did not offer any further explanation, and Le Lingzhao did not deny that she had not yet broken through to the Limit Douluo level.
After all, a breakthrough is inevitable, and there's no need to make a fuss about it; otherwise, it would seem contrived.
Yuanen Zhentian didn't really have any other thoughts. If he cared about fame, fortune and power, the Yuanen family wouldn't have chosen to live in seclusion. As a demigod, he wouldn't be so desperate as to not even be able to find a way to forge a set of four-word battle armor using Heavenly Forging Metal.
He just felt that the Phoenix Family and the Angel Family were hiding too well; the two four-word battle armor masters hadn't even let out the slightest hint.
