Chapter 149 - Demon Immortal Duo (2/2)

“Forget it if you don’t believe me. I know I did not take your pearl,” Blackbird was clearly agitated too. “Do what you please. I am at your mercy; do you think I am afraid?” After he finished speaking, he reached out and plucked a whisker from the panther’s face.

“You!” Biao Ting was fuming now, but he could not do anything because of the injuries he sustained. He did not lurch at the green-robed man. Instead, he transformed into a black-robed man, who was glaring at the green-robed man with rage. “Don’t think I can’t win you. If not for the fact that someone stepped in today and distracted me, I wouldn’t…”

As if recalling something, he turned to look at the girl seated on the floor. His eyes widened and he glared at her, as if ready to kill her in his fit of rage. “This wretched mortal is to blame!”

The little girl trembled and remembered to make her escape. She stumbled to her feet but was too late. Biao Ting reached out and caused a great burst of immortal Qi to charge toward her. Then, he clenched his fist and, at once, the little girl was thrown into the air. She could no longer control her body. She flew right into his grip.

Biao Ting tightened his hold around her neck.

The little girl struggled with all her might but could not even reach the other party’s sleeve. How could a mere mortal hurt someone from the upper realm? What’s more, she was only a child. A surge of panic began to rise in her chest, and she began to tear. Using all the energy she could muster, she called out, “Divine… Divine Immortal, protect… me…”

“Divine Immortal?” Hearing her address, Biao Ting laughed mirthlessly. “I’m the Divine Immortal you’re talking to!”

The little girl stared at him blankly. She was suffocating, but her eyes widened, and she had a sudden burst of energy. Kicking wildly, she said, “No… No, you’re not!” Liar! Her divine immortal was not like that! It can’t be!

“Hmph, just a little ant!” Biao Ting ignored her struggles and tightened his grip. He was going to strangle her to death.

“Wait!” The firebird Blackbird exclaimed, grabbing hold of his hand.

“What, you still want to fight?” Biao Ting looked at him with contempt and mocked, “You’re not thinking of becoming a divine immortal who would help mortals in need, are you? Don’t forget, you ascended to immortality a long time ago but you’re still a demon.” Why would a demon want to save someone?

“This child…” Blackbird ignored him. He looked intently at the child in his hand and narrowed his eyes, as if he discovered something.

Biao Ting paused, having discovered something out of the ordinary as well. He released his grip and the child fell down onto the ground on her bottom. She coughed and retched, looking as if she was about to pass out.

Biao Ting remained unbothered. He released a strand of immortal Qi and touched the child’s forehead. The immortal Qi entered her body and caused the child to scream in pain. Her whole body began to contort from the pain.

“It’s a pure Yin body.” Biao Ting was shocked. He laughed lightly, “The perfect build for purifying deviant fires.” He looked at Blackbird in fear and said, “You don’t want her, do you?”

“Why? You’re thinking of snatching her from me now that you understand what’s going on?” Blackbird scoffed.

Biao Ting pursed his lips, hatred evident on his features. All he could do was grit his teeth and glare at the girl lying on the ground.

Blackbird waited for his enemy to snatch the child up from the floor. This mortal did not have immortal bones and would not be able to endure the deviant fire more than a few times, but she was still a rare breed. It was a waste. He lifted his head to look at the fast-closing realm gates. “Biao Ting, I’ll let you off this time. The next time you come down and cause trouble at my Phoenix Palace, don’t blame me for being unkind to you!”

He flew up toward the realm gate once he finished speaking. Biao Ting clenched his jaw in anger, yet he had no choice but to swallow his anger. He sucked in a deep breath and followed him up.

The girl was panicking after being snatched up. Her tears were now flowing uncontrollably, and she struggled with all her might. “No, let me go… Help, Divine Immortal… I have the protection of the divine immortal… I have the divine immortal… can you hear me?”

“Be quiet.” Blackbird frowned in irritation. “Do my bidding and you may be able to live for a few days. I am a divine immortal. Whatever I, Blackbird, fancy in these three realms, I will get. Don’t count on anyone to save you.”

“Really?” The moment he finished speaking, he heard a cocky voice just beside him.

“…” For some reason, he trembled.
