My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 144

144: Chapter 144: Southern Battlefield, Peril!

“Clang-!”
Amidst the Demon King’s relentless assault, the Holy Sword in Liu Li’s hand was finally struck flying, spinning as it plunged into the distant ground.

A sharp gleam suddenly flashed in the Demon King’s eyes.

The chance is here!

“It’s over!”
A savage light surged in his eyes, his five talons instantly curling into a cone, wrapped in pitch-black Demonic Qi, thrusting straight for Liu Li’s heart!

If this strike landed…
Even Liu Li’s 50,000 points in Constitution Attribute would absolutely be unable to withstand it!

Only one outcome possible-her heart would be pierced by this attack and she would die.

As the Demon King’s claws drew closer and closer to Liu Li’s heart,
scenes of tearing through this Angel’s heart already flashed through his mind.

At that thought, he couldn’t help but spare a glance at the human.

With his Guardian Beast about to die, that human’s face should surely be filled with despair!

But what he saw…
Was that young human actually had a barely perceptible smirk at the corner of his lips!

What the hell?!

The Demon King’s heart violently contracted, a sense of impending doom slithering up his spine like a viper.

With only an inch left between his talons and Liu Li’s heart, he suddenly realized a fatal problem:
The other Guardian Beast…
Where did it go?!

The next moment, he got his answer.

“Ghost Race Third Technique: World Splitter!”
A chilling voice exploded almost right at the Demon King’s ear, making the scales all over his body stand on end!

When-?!

The Winged Demon King’s pupils shrank to needle points, but by now, it was already too late to defend himself.

Qing Shuang, wreathed in surging Netherworld Ghost Qi, still had remnants of a not-yet-closed spatial rift lingering beside her…
She had used Fei Yue’s Space Talent to launch a fatal ambush in the instant the Demon King was distracted!

Such a fleeting opportunity-only Qing Shuang, with her combat instincts maxed out, could have seized it.

If it were Liu Li, she might have missed this moment.

But Qing Shuang never would!

The fist condensed with Netherworld Ghost Qi was already inches away, the Winged Demon King could even sense the destructive energy fluctuations it contained.

I’m going to die…
This punch will smash my skull for sure!

In this life-or-death juncture, a ruthless glint suddenly flashed in the Demon King’s eyes-
Even if I die…
I’ll drag this Angel down with me!

Instead of pulling back, his claws stabbed for Liu Li’s heart exploded with a final burst of Demonic Qi, piercing forward even faster!

However-
Reality always betrays expectation!

“Divine Protection!”
Liu Li’s cool voice echoed out, a dazzling golden barrier instantly enveloping her whole body.

“Bang-!”
The Demon King’s talons slammed straight into the light screen, but didn’t even stir up the slightest ripple.

[Divine Protection: Blazing Angels Race’s Divine Skill.

Can block any fatal strike!]
The Winged Demon King’s fierce features froze at once, utter disbelief filling his eyes-
Impossible?!

But nobody would answer his question anymore.

“Boom-!!”
Qing Shuang’s iron fist, shrouded in Netherworld Ghost Qi, crashed solidly down onto the Demon King’s skull.

Under the crushing force of 80,000 points of incomparable Power, that savage head burst apart like an overripe watermelon!

It’s not over yet!

Commander Level Demons have tenacious Life Force-even without a head, they won’t die immediately.

Qing Shuang wrapped an arm around Liu Li’s slender waist, and with a flicker through the Void, the two of them retreated hundreds of meters at lightning speed-
They had to beware of the Demon King’s last-ditch retaliation!

In the distance, Gu Xing finally let out a long breath, his taut nerves slowly relaxing.

Even though everything had gone according to plan, he hadn’t dared relax in the slightest before the battle was truly over.

Now-
It was settled!

This Half-Step Monarch Level Winged Demon King was finally slain under their perfect teamwork.

Perilous as it was, the outcome hadn’t let anyone down in the end.

Just as the Demon King fell, a massive blue ball of energy erupted from the corpse, like a torrent, splitting into two streams and flooding into Liu Li and Qing Shuang’s bodies!

“Boom-!”
Their auras skyrocketed instantly!

Though they’d only recently broken through to Commander Level, the energy from slaying this Half-Step Monarch Level Demon King was just too overwhelming.

Liu Li and Qing Shuang’s Level shot right from Commander Tier One to Tier Two!

And as his Guardian Beasts broke through, Gu Xing also felt his own Spiritual Power surging inside him, his Realm naturally advancing to Commander Tier Two.

But what surprised him even more-
The leftover energy surged spontaneously into the Divine Pattern on his forehead!

This is…
In Gu Xing’s astonished gaze, all that blue energy flowed in like rivers returning to the sea, and slowly sunk into the golden Divine Pattern…
Gu Xing paused, stunned.

The Divine Pattern… could actually absorb Demon energy?

Other than a newly heightened perception of Blue Star, though, there didn’t seem to be any other obvious changes.

After a moment’s thought and unable to solve the puzzle, he simply put aside the question for now.

Glancing up at the sky, that savage spatial rift still hung overhead like a torn wound, constantly spewing Demonic Qi into Blue Star.

He had to find a way to seal it…
Otherwise, the next Demon Horde would pour in through here!

Just as the thought emerged, Gu Xing instinctively channeled the power graced by the Divine Pattern.

His Spiritual Power quietly merged into the Void, and in an instant, the entire structure of the spatial rift became utterly clear to him-
So that’s it…
With a thought, he tried to guide Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to repair the rift.

The next instant, a shocking scene unfurled!

Spiritual Qi within a hundred li rushed in like a tidal wave at the call, transforming into countless streams of light that poured into the rift’s edge.

Under Gu Xing’s stunned gaze, the crack spanning the heavens began to knit together, slowly at first, then until-
it was gone for good!

On the ground.

Witnessing this, Ying Xinghe and the others stood frozen where they were, their faces written with disbelief.

How could this be?!

With great difficulty, Ying Xinghe swallowed hard.

Gu Xing had only just broken into Commander Level-how could he kill a Half-Step Monarch Level Demon King at Tier One?

But the truth before him allowed for no doubt-
He hadn’t just slain a Demon King…
He’d erased that spatial rift as well?!

As he stiffly turned to gaze at the battlefield, an even more shocking sight met his eyes:
Vera was wreathed in rampaging lightning, her Spirit Attribute soaring to 54,000 points under the double boost of “Soul-devouring” and “Elf Monarchy”, an absolute overwhelming force!

Before her, those Commander Level Demons were as fragile as lambs awaiting slaughter.

“Azure Sky Thunderfall!”
With a crisp shout, nine World-Ending Thunder Dragons roared forth, and the last Demon was obliterated in that blinding lightning!

Thus-
The battle, teetering on the brink of collapse, was utterly turned around within moments of Gu Xing’s arrival!

Across the battlefield now swept clean of smoke and ash, not a trace of any Demon remained…
Yet up in the sky, Gu Xing’s face suddenly shifted radically.

Just now, in that instant, his heart suddenly clenched-a stabbing pain sweeping over his entire being.

Who was hurt?!

Meanwhile.

The southern battlefield.

The humans who had come to stop the Demons were almost completely wiped out, with the crisis now at its absolutely most dire point.

The only ones left-Ying Bing, Gu Qianqian, and a handful of others-stood fast at the final line of defense.

And before them, were tens of thousands of Demon troops!
