Chapter 320 Rescued
Geng Miaowan unleashed a sweeping sword strike, its spiritual energy driving the sword towards the Demon Lord.
The demon lord crouched, dodging her attack, and retaliated with a scorpion tail whip. Geng Miaowan's figure shifted rapidly, flashing to the side, her sword tip pointing at the demon lord again. With her other hand, she channeled spiritual power into the sword, unleashing a powerful attack on the demon lord.
The Demon Lord was startled and quickly took two steps back before kicking again.
Geng Miaowan's sword was kicked off course, causing her body to lurch to the side. A thought struck her; she clenched her fist and charged towards the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord was surprised by her quick reaction and barely dodged her punch. Even so, his cheek was grazed by the spiritual power on her fist, and a trace of blood seeped out.
He reached out and wiped the blood from his face, his eyes, which were even redder than the blood, staring at Geng Miaowan.
Having landed a successful blow, Geng Miaowan pressed her advantage, unleashing another move, "Wind and Clouds Rising." Sharp sword energy, mixed with wind-blade-like spiritual power, surged towards the Demon Lord from all directions. Simultaneously, her body shifted position once more.
Just then, the Demon Lord's body swayed slightly, and Geng Miaowan's attack was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to find a point of force to apply.
As she was still wondering what was happening, a palm strike came from behind. Sensing something was wrong, she lunged forward, but she still couldn't dodge it. The Demon Lord's palm slammed heavily into her back, causing her to stagger and fall forward.
The Demon Lord smiled and struck Geng Miaowan's back again.
He used 80% of his power in this move imbued with spiritual energy. If this palm strike landed on her defenseless back, she would be severely injured, even if she didn't die.
Sensing the danger, Geng Miaowan quickly cast a protective shield around her body. The Demon Lord's attack paused briefly upon encountering the shield. Then, the spiritual energy, like a splitting axe, slowly pressed against her shield, gradually cleaving it in two.
Just as the Demon Lord's attack was about to reach Geng Miaowan's back, and just as Geng Miaowan was about to call out Luan Hao, she felt a slightly familiar force coming from the front. It bypassed her and neutralized the attack from behind.
Geng Miaowan was startled and looked up, only to meet a pair of icy blue eyes. Qiu Pi flashed forward, pulling her back several meters.
The Demon Lord hadn't expected such a meddlesome person to suddenly appear, and what surprised him most was that this busybody was Qiu Pi. His bloodshot eyes shifted from Geng Miaowan to Qiu Pi's face, and he said in a low voice, "Commander Qiu, what do you mean by this?"
Qiu Pi first confirmed that Geng Miaowan was unharmed before turning to look at the Demon Lord, saying, "You must not kill this person."
"Why can't I kill him?" The Demon Lord was somewhat displeased to see that Qiu Pi not only ruined his plans but also seemed determined to get to the bottom of things.
Do you know who she is?
"I don't care who she is, all I know is that she's the person I'm going to kill."
At this moment, their commotion attracted the attention of the other people and demons, and they all stopped. The demon soldiers were alright; almost all of them recognized Qiu Pi.
Of course, most of the humans also knew Qiu Pi, but they all felt uneasy. Several humans were wondering why the girl Geng mentioned by Ershan seemed to know this demon so well.
Ershan, in particular, seemed unable to understand why this demon leader, who colluded with the demon race, would save Geng Miaowan. He had clearly forgotten that besides Geng Miaowan, this demon, whom he had once despised, had also saved his life when he was a child.
Qiu Pi's icy blue eyes swept over the crowd. He smiled slightly, a smile that seemed both mocking and casually twitching his lips. Extremely faint, yet possessing an undeniable allure. "I'm afraid that if you kill her, it won't be easy to explain to my Emperor."
Geng Miaowan tried to stop him when she thought of what he was going to say, but it was too late. Qiu Pi spoke in a very calm voice, but said something that made everyone present pause in surprise.
"The Demon Emperor?" The Demon Lord glanced at Geng Miaowan again. Although she was indeed quite beautiful, he couldn't see any resemblance to the Demon Emperor. He had been fortunate enough to see the Demon Emperor's other two daughters, who looked remarkably alike, but this Geng Miaowan...
Anyway, it didn't resemble her at all. He couldn't help but look at Qiu Pi with suspicion, wondering if this was just an excuse Qiu Pi made up to keep him away from her.
The humans, led by Ershan, were deeply grateful to Geng Miaowan for saving them when she appeared. They even tried to find excuses for her when they saw the demon leader acquainted with her. However, Qiu Pi claimed she was the daughter of the Demon King, a princess of the demon realm.
What else could they possibly think? A look of astonishment crossed their faces.
Qiu Pi's pale blue eyes swept casually over everyone present, taking in all the expressions on the humans' faces, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. He then glanced at the Demon Lord, saying noncommittally, "If you have any doubts, you can ask my Emperor yourself. Oh, by the way, my Emperor is currently a guest of your leader."
He gave a kind reminder.
After thinking for a moment, the Demon Lord realized that Qiu Pi had no intention of lying to him about this matter, so he compromised and said, "She can leave, but they have to stay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the humans all panicked.
"No, we can't keep them!" Geng Miaowan firmly disagreed.
"Did you hear that?" Qiu Pi asked the Demon Lord, raising an eyebrow.
The Demon Lord stared at him and Geng Miaowan for a while, and finally, as if he had made a huge decision, he said to his subordinates, "Let's go!"
Geng Miaowan approached the group of humans led by Ershan and asked, "Are you all alright?"
The group simply stared at her, stunned, but no one answered her question. Having learned she was a princess of the demon realm, they were unsure how to approach her. Although she had just saved their lives, their hatred for demons was deeply ingrained.
Even so, Ershan still said to Geng Miaowan, "We are all safe and sound. Thank you for your righteous rescue, Fairy."
Regardless, it's a fact that she saved him back then.
He was the oldest in the group and also the person in charge. Seeing that he had done this, the others followed suit and bowed to Geng Miaowan. However, their gazes towards her and Xu Ruwen were still strange, especially since Qiu Pi, the leader of the demon realm, was standing behind her. (To be continued.)
