My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 448 - 449: Searching for Qing Shuang!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Gu Xing’s mind was occupied by a single objective...
He needed to ensure his Guardian Beasts could receive the world's recognition.
The difficulty, however, lay in the sheer number of companions under his contract.
With Liu Li, Vera, Qing Shuang, Fei Yue, Tushan Yueli, and Sally, he already had six Guardian Beasts to consider.
If he were to finalize contracts with Snow Woman and Lilith as planned...
His roster of Guardian Beasts would grow even larger.
How could there possibly be enough worlds for every one of them to achieve Divine Positions?
Currently, Gu Xing’s primary focus was the Angel Realm.
That domain was undoubtedly the perfect fit for Liu Li!
Regarding the others, perhaps the Alternate Space could provide one more world at most.
Any other potential locations...
seemed to be non-existent!
Still, he was only at the Totem Level; worrying about such things might be premature.
The urgent priority was locating Qing Shuang and Fei Yue!
With that realization, Gu Xing cast aside his hesitation.
Fei Yue was currently within the Insect Race’s nest.
Had the Beast Taming Contract not confirmed her safety, he would have departed to rescue her long ago!
Aside from Fei Yue, Qing Shuang’s condition appeared precarious.
Gu Xing could sense a slight weakening in the bond of their contract.
This suggested that Qing Shuang was likely facing a dangerous ordeal.
"Old Dragon, I leave the Human Race in your hands; I am going to find Qing Shuang."
Long Zhenguo did not attempt to dissuade Gu Xing after hearing his choice.
Understanding Gu Xing’s temperament, he simply offered a quiet warning:
"Exercise caution in all things!"
Gu Xing gave a firm nod in response.
He then shifted his gaze toward Feng Ni and Long Qingyan.
"Respected seniors, the Human Race will require your oversight."
Long Qingyan and Feng Ni offered no further words, merely nodding in silent agreement.
After finishing his final instructions, Gu Xing departed swiftly, heading toward the territory of the Ghost Race.
....
At this moment, the Ghost Race...
found itself completely encircled by the Demon Race.
Although the majority of the Ghost Race had already migrated to the Human Race lands.
Yuan, concerned for the safety of her two granddaughters, had chosen to stay behind to personally protect the Ghost Race’s forbidden land.
Similarly, after escorting her people to safety, Qing had returned without a second thought to help defend the sacred ground.
Should the exit of the forbidden land be destroyed, Qing Shuang might be trapped within its depths forever.
Right now.
The ancestral lands of the Ghost Race were submerged under a suffocating layer of Demonic Qi.
The once-silent sky was now crowded with the diverse, grotesque silhouettes of the Demon Race.
The putrid Demonic Qi hung as heavy as storm clouds, creating a crushing, breathless atmosphere.
Standing at the center of this dark siege.
Two figures remained as unyielding as stone.
It was the Ghost Clan Leader, Yuan, alongside Qing!
Yuan’s weathered features were set in a mask of gravity as pure Ghost Qi radiated from her, her Totem Level aura fully unleashed.
Qing matched her solemnity, her own Ghost Qi swirling violently around her form.
Directly behind them lay the gateway to the Ghost Race’s forbidden land!
Even when confronted by a massive demonic legion, neither woman showed a trace of cowardice.
"Jie jie jie... Two Initial Tier Totem ghosts actually think they can block my path?"
From the vanguard of the Demon Race, a towering figure let out a shrill, malicious cackle.
His presence had reached the pinnacle of Totem Tier Nine!
This was one of the Demon God Abyss’s most loyal subordinates...
Lie Gu!
"Lord Lie Gu, why bother speaking with these two worthless scraps? Let us just crush them and level this place!"
The blood-red eyes of Demon General Lie Gu drifted over Yuan and Qing:
"I will grant you one opportunity; stand aside and swear your souls to the Demon Race!"
Neither Qing nor Yuan bothered to reply; instead, a flicker of frantic resolve burned in their eyes as they prepared to fight to the end.
The Ghost Race would never surrender!
Observing their defiance, Lie Gu understood their final answer.
"You stubborn fools! In that case... prepare for your end!"
Losing his patience, he fully manifested the might of a Totem Tier Nine expert.
A beam of concentrated, pitch-black Demonic Qi was fired directly at the two women!
The sheer power caused space to ripple in its wake, and the earth below was instantly scorched to ash!
"Ghost Race Fourth Technique · Star Shattering!"
"Ghost Race Fourth Technique · Star Shattering!"
Yuan and Qing cried out in unison, putting every ounce of their strength into the defense!
Despite knowing they were no match for a Totem Tier Nine, they refused to retreat even a single step.
"Boom—!!!"
The three energies collided with a violent roar! The resulting shockwave of energy was so fierce it tore apart several nearby low-level demons!
However, the disparity in their power was simply too great!
The combined effort of Yuan and Qing held firm for only a heartbeat before the black demonic beam pulverized their defense with irresistible force!
"Pu—!"
"Agh!"
Yuan and Qing were thrown back as if struck by a mountain, both coughing up blood as they were sent reeling. They slammed into the entrance of the forbidden land, barely managing to stay upright.
Their auras plummeted instantly, and their faces turned deathly pale.
Had they not possessed the resilient physical bodies of the Ghost Race, that single blow would have claimed their lives.
"Pathetic!"
A look of pure contempt crossed Lie Gu’s face.
For Totem Tier One practitioners to think they could halt his progress was nothing short of idiocy.
He then turned his attention toward the forbidden land behind them.
By destroying this site, a bridge would be formed between the Alternate Space and the Ghost Realm.
Once opened, the legions of the Ghost Realm could flood into the Alternate Space.
Currently, Lord Yuan was short on manpower...
The timing was flawless!
Yet, even now, the two figures stood once more to block the entrance.
Despite their grievous wounds, their eyes remained defiant.
If the forbidden land was lost, Qing Shuang might never return. To prevent that, they were willing to sacrifice their very lives.
To Lie Gu, however, the struggles of Qing and Yuan were merely a joke.
"Fine, I shall send you both to Hell!"
He brought his claws together, gathering an even more terrifying amount of Demonic Qi.
A rotating sphere of darkness began to form, appearing to swallow the very light around it!
The aura of destruction within that sphere radiated a tangible sense of impending death!
"Buzz—!"
At that exact moment.
An invisible pressure of the soul suddenly crashed down upon the world!
A voice then resonated clearly in the ears of everyone present:
"Who is it that's going to Hell?"
The voice wasn't particularly loud, yet it caused every demon to freeze in their tracks!
Lie Gu’s movements halted abruptly as his crimson pupils dilated with shock. He looked toward the source of the pressure with sudden dread!
High in the sky, a figure that seemed both spectral and solid had appeared without warning.
It was Gu Xing, who had traversed the Void to arrive in the nick of time!
Several Guardian Beasts floated at his side, their collective auras easily rivaling that of a Totem Tier Nine.
"Gu... Gu Xing?!"
Yuan and Qing stared in disbelief. Had they not been told that Gu Xing had perished?
How was he suddenly standing before them now?!
Gu Xing’s eyes scanned the battered forms of Yuan and Qing before settling on the wary Demon General Lie Gu, his expression turning frigid.
"Liu Li, strike!"
Following Gu Xing’s order, a profound murderous intent flared in Liu Li’s eyes.
Ever since Gu Xing had nearly died at the hands of the Demon God, Liu Li harbored a primal, unyielding hatred for their kind.
This bloodlust manifested instantly through the Law of Destruction she commanded.
