Chapter 223: Carriage’s Roof! Long Haochen’s Stage (II)

While Long Haochen’s side was fighting an intense battle, the situation was even fiercer on Yue Ye’s side.

The commanders of the demon army were no fools, and by now, all of them had guessed what sort of big move Yue Ye planned to pull off, that she was planning to use an incredibly powerful spell. Thus, both the Dual Headed Eagles and the Birdy Demons aimed mainly at her.

Leng Xiao was calmly standing there, lifting the magical staff in her hand high into the air. Several blood-colored radiances continuously flashed from the embedded gem.

Each time a bloody red radiance touched a Birdy Demon, it would immediately obliterate the demon in the air, before returning on Leng Xiao’s face to form a faint reddish trace.

From the carriage, a soft red mist arose defending them from the Dual Headed Demonic Eagles’ magical attacks. This was also the reason why Yue Ye stayed close to this carriage, it was in itself a formidable piece of equipment.

The merchant group’s mages had already gathered around the carriage, using their own magic to assist Leng Xiao in the best way possible. Their aim was to resist the attacks at least for a short period of time.

At this very moment, a dozen of violent cries resounded, and immediately afterwards, dozens of blue bright specters fell from the sky like meteors.

Standing on the carriage, Leng Xiao’s expression changed. From the staff in her hand, several dozens of fireballs went up.

But those blue silhouettes that appeared suddenly were clearly not as easily handled as ordinary Birdy Demons. They shifted from the ground to the air, occasionally breaking out with gaudy blue rays, surprisingly dissolving Leng Xiao’s attack.

At this time, Long Haochen’s group was already only roughly ten meters away from them, and could clearly see the silhouettes attacking from above.

Those were also Birdy Demons, but enormous ones. Each of them was over 2.5 meters tall, having a majestic build and impressive muscles. Their whole bodies were covered with blue ripples producing an effect like lightning. The long spears in their hands were a lot longer than the ordinary Birdy Demons’, and their targets were precisely Leng Xiao and Yue Ye.

Compared to ordinary Birdy Demons, there was a single word of difference in their name: they were the so called Grand Birdy Demons. But their fighting capabilities already reached the standards of the sixth step. Within the Kuli Clan, their position was the same as that of the Dark Green Dual Bladed Demons compared to the regular Dual Bladed Demons of the Zelin Clan. They were simply the true elites of their race. Furthermore, the Grand Birdy Demons were even fewer in quantity, possessing the ability of controlling lightning.

Seeing that 12 Grand Birdy Demons at the sixth step of cultivation attacked the carriage together, it was no wonder that Leng Xiao’s expression changed so greatly. In fact, her true cultivation level was only at the peak of the fifth step: she had yet to reach the sixth step. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to pass the Temple Alliance’s inspection.

“Do you dare act against me?” Leng Xiao shouted furiously and suddenly, black wings sprouted and extended from her back, accompanied by an incomparable burst of aura. Even the sky above her head turned blood red. Her two pink eyes released a crimson flash of light, as she held the staff firmly in her hand, and unexpectedly flew up, welcoming those twelve Grand Birdy Demons in the air.

Incantations were chanted in fast succession from her mouth, as the staff in her hand transformed into blood red globes. Six immense blood red globes instantly shot out, erupting with intense crimson light.

Rumble.

“Forbidden Sky!”

In the sky, a violent explosion resounded, and an enormous bloody red ring expanded with Leng Xiao as its center.

Everywhere this crimson light passed, regardless whether it was Grand Birdy Demons or regular Birdy Demons, all their wings lost their utility. Each and every creature this bloody light touched, all lost the ability of flight, crashing down like stones.

Even Leng Xiao didn’t escape the effect of her terrifying ‘Forbidden Sky’ technique, also falling down on the carriage’s roof.

The ordinary Birdy Demons directly crashed. They either received severe damage or died directly. But the Grand Birdy Demons of the sixth step were originally quite close to the ground. As they struggled in the air, they controlled their bodies’ trajectory with flickers of brilliant rays of thunder and lightning. This method helped them to land safely on the ground, though their plans of aerial attacks obviously ended in failure.

The Grand Birdy Demons stared at Leng Xiao with absolutely terrified faces, but in the instant they touched the ground, they shot out, relying on their astounding jumping capability to reach the carriage’s roof.

At this time, Long Haochen’s group finally reached the side of the carriage. Long Haochen looked at his comrades, “Cai’er, follow me. The others, keep yourselves as safe as possible.” As he said so, his feet tapped on the ground, leaping with full strength and rising to the carriage’s roof as well.

Although the carriage’s roof was wide, Leng Xiao and Yue Ye were already standing on it, and there was simply not enough space for Long Haochen’s whole team. Otherwise, they would only impede each other’s’ fighting strength.
