My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 423 - 424: A Promise Once Made
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Bai Li lunged forward, no longer holding back the terrifying pressure of a Totem Peak beast!
The aura at Totem Peak crashed down upon Long Zhenguo and his companions like a collapsing mountain!
Faces drained of color, Long Zhenguo and Verocan found their breath stolen in an instant!
Even though they were Totem Level experts themselves, they struggled just to stay upright beneath the weight of this presence.
The sheer intensity of the oppressive aura stripped them of any will to fight!
The disparity in their Cultivation was simply too vast!
"Bai Li," Feng Ni uttered softly.
Though she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, Bai Li obeyed the command and reined in her aura, retreating with visible reluctance.
Only then did Long Zhenguo and the others feel the pressure lift. They gasped for air, cold sweat drenching their clothes as they stared at the duo with eyes full of dread.
If a Totem Peak was this formidable, how horrifying must an unfathomable Emperor-level being be?
But in that very moment.
Buzz!
The distant space warped violently and without warning, as a space rift was suddenly torn open.
Several figures tumbled out of the void, accompanied by three spheres of brilliant golden light.
It was Liu Li, Vera, Snow Woman, Aliya, and the three Human Race Divine Patterns that had just been restored!
They appeared completely blindsided, their expressions masked in confusion.
As they recognized their location and sensed the familiar auras of Long Zhenguo and the others, their hearts constricted.
"Sister Liu Li! Where is Brother Xing?"
Recovering her senses, Aliya rushed toward Liu Li, her voice trembling with panic as she asked the question.
Liu Li found herself unable to provide an answer.
She could only lower her head in a heavy silence!
Long Zhenguo and the rest noticed the presence of Liu Li, Vera, and the Guardian Beasts, yet the one figure they expected was missing.
Seeing the devastated expressions on the faces of Liu Li and Vera, the truth became clear to them....
Gu Xing truly might have fallen in battle!
At that moment, Feng Ni’s eyes flickered as her gaze swept across Liu Li and Vera.
She sensed a powerful and hauntingly familiar aura emanating from them.
A memory, buried long ago in the depths of her mind, began to resurface...
She had made a solemn vow upon her breakthrough to the Emperor level.
Should the Human Race ever face total annihilation in the future, she was bound to protect them once.
That history was so ancient she had nearly let it slip from her mind.
However, feeling that specific power now brought the memory flooding back.
Feng Ni knit her brows slightly.
She had no desire to involve herself in earthly conflicts, yet that person... held a unique importance to her.
Before she could come to a conclusion, another shift occurred!
"Boom——!"
A force saturated with pure destruction suddenly manifested!
The sky turned pitch black in a heartbeat, as if stained by ink, while a soul-chilling murderous intent blanketed the area!
The Demon God Abyss had arrived!
He ripped through space, his blood-red eyes immediately locking onto the newly arrived Liu Li, Vera, and the others!
His rage reached a boiling point when he saw the three intact and glowing Human Race Divine Patterns beside them!
"Ants!"
Yuan’s roar caused the very fabric of space to tremble!
From the Dragon Emperor’s desperate stand to Gu Xing’s soul slipping away, and now his prey and the Divine Patterns being whisked away right under his nose—it was too much.
For the supreme Demon God, this was a humiliation without precedent!
Old grievances combined with new insults, pushing Yuan’s killing intent to its absolute zenith!
Without wasting a breath, he unleashed an attack directly at Liu Li and the group!
This strike, fueled by his fury, was meant to wipe these eyesores from the face of the earth!
"No——!"
Long Zhenguo’s eyes turned bloodshot as he tried to jump in.
These Guardian Beasts were the final legacy left by Gu Xing.
He strained to intervene, but it was useless.
Yuan’s mere aura was enough to paralyze him completely!
He was forced to watch the impending tragedy with helplessness!
Liu Li, Vera, and the others felt the shadow of death loom over them once more.
But they had already given up on fighting back.
With Gu Xing gone, their spirits had died with him.
Yet, at the final second...
"Buzz!"
A wall of crimson flames suddenly intercepted Yuan’s strike!
"Boom————!!!"
Yuan’s attack struck the flames and vanished without a trace, completely snuffed out.
A heavy silence fell over the battlefield!
Everyone stood frozen, including the enraged Demon God Abyss!
Long Zhenguo and his group stared in disbelief at the elegant silhouette of the woman standing before them.
She... she actually neutralized the Demon God’s blow?!
But why?
Bai Li’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at Feng Ni’s back in confusion.
Wasn't Sister Feng the one who avoided trouble at all costs?
Why would she intervene for these "bugs"?
Demon God Yuan glared at Feng Ni, his voice dropping to a low, serious tone:
"Phoenix! Do you truly intend to meddle in my business?!"
Feng Ni slowly lowered her hand.
She turned her golden eyes upward, meeting the Demon God’s murderous stare with total composure.
Then, her ethereal voice rang out through the sky:
"From this point forward, I shall protect this place."
Those simple words struck like a thunderclap in the hearts of everyone present!
Long Zhenguo and the others could scarcely trust their own ears!
This Emperor-level Fierce Beast had not only stopped the Demon God but...
Had openly declared her protection over the Human Race?!
The shock of finding a lifeline in the depths of despair left many of them in a daze.
Demonic Qi swirled violently around Demon God Yuan, signaling his internal fury.
He glared at Feng Ni as the pressure of an Emperor-level beast and the Demon God’s energy clashed in mid-air, making the space groan under the tension!
Yuan quickly weighed his options.
The Phoenix before him was a being of the same tier as himself.
In terms of raw power, she was a match for the ancient demonic eel even at its peak.
If he committed to a life-and-death struggle now, any victory would be hollow and costly.
Such a fight would undoubtedly delay the unsealing of the other Demon Gods and the descent of the Demon Abyss.
"Hmph!"
Yuan finally let out a cold snort. His raging Demonic Qi began to settle, though his murderous intent remained.
"Feng Ni, I will not forget what happened today! When the armies of the Demon Abyss arrive, we shall settle this debt!"
As he spoke, his form began to blur, eventually dissolving into the Void and vanishing entirely.
The suffocating, lethal pressure lifted along with him.
Only after confirming that the Demon God Abyss had truly departed did Long Zhenguo and the others exhale, feeling as though their strength had been drained.
They had actually survived this catastrophe!
Feng Ni paid no mind to the humans’ reactions and walked silently toward Liu Li and Vera.
Her golden phoenix eyes studied them calmly, and her voice echoed directly within their souls:
"Where is your master?"
Hearing the voice, Liu Li looked up, her expression vacant.
The spark had left her eyes, leaving behind only a hollow emptiness.
She knew this woman was the one who had saved them all by halting the Demon God.
Liu Li’s lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came.
Finally, using every bit of strength left in her, she forced a few words from her dry, raspy throat:
"Master... he is dead!"
