I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1018 - 648: The Grand Show Begins?

In the Twin Realm, there exist four Great Demon Apes.The Thunder Gold Ape inside Chen Leng is one of them. My colleague, Qi Tian, in Team Two, his Demon Pet· Furious Fire Ape is also one of them.

Of course, there are more than four kinds of demon apes in the Demon Taming World, but these four are singled out due to their high growth potential.

More importantly, all four Great Demon Apes possess a unique Demon Skill that enables Human-Pet Fusion.

It is not performed by human hands using internal demon beast skills; rather, the demon apes can possess the body of a Demon Tamer, merging the two almost seamlessly into one!

Chen Leng and Thunder Gold Ape can fully achieve this, but a mere few Evil Soul Cats are not worth the fuss.

With a simple two-round attack, a star and a cat have already been cut down by Chen Leng.

Ji Yaoyao was not to be outdone, wielding a saber and a sword, creating a dance of wind!

"Yah yi~!" Came a young girl’s cry from the Capital City, as she swung the greatsword forward with force.

The Evil Soul Cat pinned to the Cold Tree by a Fire Arrow was instantly sliced in half.

Meanwhile, the Earth Treasure Mouse on her shoulder squeaked, its gemstone-like brown eyes gleaming faintly.

Seeing the enemy cat approach, the Earth Treasure Mouse gripped its owner’s earlobe with a tiny paw, standing upright.

The little Earth Treasure Mouse suddenly unleashed a surprise attack, its small mouth opening to shoot a thin and small Earth Needle forward!

"Crack" sounded a crisp noise.

The quickly approaching Evil Soul Cat’s Demon Breath Battle Robe exploded instantly!

In such a dim environment, you may only faintly hear a sound breaking through the air but cannot find the fine and small Earth Needle at all!

However, Du Yu could find it!

What a clever Earth Treasure Mouse, truly sneaky...

It’s a pity your pair of bright brown gemstone eyes are born so soft and cute, yet you are such a treacherous and sly creature!

Hehe~ I like it!

At this moment, Du Yu met his kindred spirit.

The Earth Needle is small and slender, fast and fierce, killing invisibly, precisely Du Yu’s combat philosophy!

"Meow!" The Evil Soul Cat was startled, as Ji Yaoyao’s Giant Blade approached.

In this Bottomless Abyss, the Evil Soul Cat clan, hailed as the "Death Messenger", has encountered opposition today.

The Evil Soul Cat let out a sharp cry, accompanied by a gust of wind, as it leapt forward in mid-air.

The saber grazed the Evil Soul Cat’s rear, slicing downward, and the Blade Edge hacked heavily onto the Giant Tree below.

The Evil Soul Cat only felt a chill in its rear, its black cat tail severed!

"Did you still run?" Ji Yaoyao exclaimed sweetly, suddenly spinning around.

Her right hand saber still embedded in the tree below, she swung her left greatsword forward with a crescent motion.

"Snap" went a crisp sound as the Evil Soul Cat was promptly struck.

Ji Yaoyao knew the Evil Soul Cat’s speed was incredibly fast, so she didn’t use the sword blade to chop horizontally.

The girl’s ability to adapt in battle was impressive, directly raising the greatsword vertically to widen the attack surface, and she slapped it across with the broad blade.

Quite a "swatting flies" feeling, right?

It’s full of minute details!

The Evil Soul Cat let out a mournful cry, immediately slapped sideways into the Cold Tree.

As the greatsword swung past, the chains bound to the hilt and sword handle instantly tautened, leveraging the deeply embedded saber to rise.

"Yah yi~!" Ji Yaoyao swung the saber again, the Blade Edge directly chopping the Evil Soul Cat.

"Boom!"

The Blade Edge penetrated the wood by three inches, leaving the Evil Soul Cat severed.

"Gulp." One test-taker wearing a Shield Arm Badge dumbfoundedly watched this scene and subconsciously swallowed.

This little girl is so fierce!

Within just a few seconds, the crisis was averted.

The Heaven-Returning Wood Branch gradually retracted, while the Shield Squad members cautiously scanned the surroundings.

They saw Chen Leng holding the Golden Lightning Ring-Headed Saber on the west, and Ji Yaoyao wielding knife and sword on the east.

The Shield Squad leader looked up to see Du Yu standing on the Cold Branch, overlooking the battlefield.

Also seen behind Du Yu, standing on the Linglan Flower Bell, was Zhuang Mengdie.

World-Famous Painting?

The Paper Crane Disciples were very familiar with these four faces.

What’s more terrifying is that in this squad, Du Yu and Zhuang Mengdie hardly intervened.

Oh, right... Du Yu did intervene, although it could easily be overlooked, it was a decisive strike!

What kind of Immortal team is this?

"Ring ring~ ring~"

The Linglan Flower Bell sound rang clear, with its ringing spreading in all directions.

"Master Yu, there’s more fighting below," whispered Zhuang Mengdie, adjusting her frameless glasses.

"Let’s go, Brother Chen. Yaoyao, lead the way!" Du Yu ordered.

"On it." Ji Yaoyao used the blade to swipe over the Evil Soul Cat’s bones, smearing it with the Cold Beast’s blood.

"Haven’t honed the blade yet?" Du Yu landed beside Ji Yaoyao, asking.

"It wasn’t challenging enough. The Life and Death Saber hasn’t gotten excited," Ji Yaoyao replied, somewhat helplessly.

Shield Squad: ???

Are you speaking human language?

Our Heaven-Returning Wood has been nearly shredded, can you consider your comrades’ feelings...

Du Yu felt a stir in his heart: "Is the Life and Death Saber an Emperor Grade Demon Soldier?"

The saber and sword in Ji Yaoyao’s hands were clearly not Holy Grade.

And any Demon Soldier with enough self-awareness to somewhat express desires is naturally close to Holy Grade.

"Emperor Grade?" Ji Yaoyao paused momentarily, then nodded, "Yes, it’s Eternal Diamond Grade."

Sure enough, as a child of the Great Xia Capital City’s Demon Taming Family, she wields Emperor Grade Demon Soldiers with ease.

Du Yu looked at the girl born with a golden spoon in her mouth, asking, "What about the Sword of Royal Authority, is it also Emperor Grade?"

"Yes." Ji Yaoyao lifted the saber and sword, "Neither of them have entered their state yet, but the Demon Soldier Array can’t be activated, need a few more kills."

The Demon Soldier Array can’t be activated?

With wisdom to this extent, this saber and sword are indeed close to Becoming a Saint!

Originally, when Du Yu’s Tribulation Arrow neared Becoming a Saint, it showed an unusually clear attitude.

Du Yu nodded lightly: "Open the path below."

Ji Yaoyao glanced at the distant Shield Squad, then descended downward.

The four-person squad descended in an orderly fashion without saying anything to the Shield Squad.

But as Zhao Feng, the last to descend, arrived, he reminded, "Next time, don’t ask who we are, ask for the password."

Saying this, Zhao Feng stepped forward, disappearing amongst the layers of tree shadows.

"Attention all personnel inside Gourd Mountain!"

"Attention all units inside Gourd Mountain!"

A middle-aged man’s voice suddenly came through the invisible headphones.

"Halt," Du Yu commanded as he landed steadily on a giant tree branch.

The Twin Squad stopped on three different layers, listening to the orders coming through their headphones.

"The Sharp Sword and Shield units have reached their designated depth. Clear all Cold Beasts in your areas within 30 minutes."

"Repeat! Clear all Cold Beasts in your areas within 30 minutes! After 30 minutes, the second phase will begin."

Meanwhile, 600 meters deep in the southwestern area of Gourd Mountain—

"Half an hour?" Li Mengnan’s tall and graceful figure spun swiftly, her white cloak turning into a round disk.

Wind Witch Demon Skill· Tornado Blade!

The Cold Beast· Night Fire Cage in front of her was instantly sliced into two.

Eight-sided lanterns shattered, turning into energy that dissipated into the air and then gathered into a Demon Crystal.

"We just got here, seriously?" Li Mengnan pouted, "And Cold Beasts keep emerging from below, how can we clear them all?"

"Mengnan." Came a cold, magnetic voice from beside her, with a unique charm.

Lin Shiwei stepped down with a black military boot, shattering a Water Charm Illusion Spirit’s head.

The pitiful Water Charm Illusion Spirit couldn’t even break the girl’s defense with its sharp teeth, let alone scream in pain.

Transformed into a soldier’s shape, it was crushed into bits of energy and disappeared into nothingness.

Lin Shiwei glanced around casually, saying, "You look like more of a team leader."

"I’m not the leader; my third sister is. I’m just her little follower," Li Mengnan pouted.

Lin Shiwei looked at her, both amused and annoyed, helpless against the girl.

Li Mengnan looked up, asking, "Commander, what’s the plan?"

Lin Shihao: "Just follow the orders and clear the area, Nan, no need to worry. It’s all Demon Spirit squads around us, all allies."

Indeed, it was the truth.

The Sharp Sword squad, acting as the vanguard, had been pressing deep since entering, relaying information through their communication soldiers.

The depths executed by the Sharp Sword and Shield Squads were different from the start.

Along the way, there were Great Xia Soldiers everywhere.

Lin Shiwei looked down to see distant headlight beams; a soldier squad was evidently passing by. "What is the second phase?"

Lin Shihao turned to the communication soldier in their squad, but the soldier remained unresponsive, like a piece of wood.

Liu Juncai quietly said, "Most likely, we need to advance deeper."

Lin Shiwei: "Hmm?"

Liu Juncai: "The Sharp Sword and Shield have reached their designated positions. Our Sharp Sword unit has merged with the front line Demon Spirit squads, forming a deep system.

Next, it should be advancing underground."

Liu Junhu widened his eyes: "How far? Gourd Mountain is 2600 meters deep!"

Liu Juncai shook his head: "That, I don’t know."

Liu Junhu, frustrated, scratched his head: "Are they going to make us dive into the Cold Beast base camp?"

"Heh." Lin Shiwei laughed, displaying a warrior’s demeanor, "Aren’t you the Sharp Sword?"

Liu Junhu: "..."

Come to think of it, if you’re not piercing through, what kind of Sharp Sword are you?

Lin Shihao didn’t look too happy: "Compressing the Cold Beast’s activity space like this, eventually, something’s going to happen."

Liu Juncai patted Lin Shihao’s shoulder, consoling: "As you said before, we just need to follow orders.

Play our role as small soldiers; this so-called ultimate test isn’t for us."

Lin Shihao easily followed his girlfriend’s logic.

What Liu Juncai meant by "the test isn’t for us," to Lin Shihao, seemed like "we’re not the main characters."

Paper Crane Disciples were just one of the 16 small squads within thousands—a mere hundred people.

In this grand battlefield, what counts as a hundred people?

The Sharp Sword squad, diving all the way, had encountered countless Demon Spirit Soldiers. They should have realized long ago...

This ultimate test,

The protagonists are the hundreds and thousands of Great Xia Demon Spirit Units!

And the examiners are not some Great Xia Bookstore, but the entire population of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The achievements of the Great Xia Demon Spirit Units will eventually be presented to the world from the perspective of the 16 squads of Paper Crane Disciples.

The true identities of the Paper Crane Disciples are probably not warriors, but war correspondents stationed in various regions...

Of course, if you want to steal the show, everyone would probably be delighted to see it?

"Whosh~"

A brilliant Fire Arrow pierced the dark abyss, penetrating a Wind Wizard’s body and pinning it to a tree.

Du Yu commanded, "Descend, and increase speed!"

Zhuang Mengdie floated beside Du Yu, whispering, "Master Yu, should we perhaps steady our pace?"

Du Yu replied in a deep voice, "The earlier order stated, the Sharp Sword and Shield units have both reached their designated depths.

The soldier teams we encountered earlier, including a Paper Crane Disciple squad, all wore Shield Arm Badges, meaning we’re in the Shield Layer.

The Sharp Sword unit must be deeper, and the Cold Beasts here should have spilled over from the Sharp Sword Layer."

Hearing this, Chen Leng and Zhuang Mengdie exchanged a glance.

Ji Yaoyao, holding her swords, nodded in agreement.

Du Yu smiled, looking at his fellow warriors, "Let’s go; the front line must be more interesting."

His calm tone conveyed a sense of grand ambition.

"Haha!" Chen Leng was also infected by this statement, laughing heartily, "Right, let’s go!"

"Captain!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke, "Received orders from higher up, our squad needs to assist a group 300 meters due west."

The sudden rescue mission left those eager to push to the front lines feeling stifled.

A fire burning in his heart, Du Yu leaped onto the branch ahead: "Due west, full speed ahead! The bell rings!"

Zhuang Mengdie, stepping on the Linglan Flower Bell, quickly followed.

"Ring-ring~ ring~"
