Chapter 426: Han Yue in Danger! The Violet Demon Eagle!
In the northern region of Zhongzhou, deep within an endless expanse of towering mountains, a massive Earth Demon Bear, standing nearly three meters tall, roared as it chased a silver figure ahead.
This Earth Demon Bear had reached the strength of a sixth-tier early-stage magical beast, comparable to the power of a two-star Dou Emperor among humans. Combined with its immense size and ferocious strength, even an ordinary three-star Dou Emperor would struggle to contend with it.
The silver figure it relentlessly pursued was only at the peak of seven-star Dou King level. In these perilous mountains, encountering such a beast usually spelled certain death. Yet, relying on an uncanny movement technique, she repeatedly evaded the Earth Demon Bear’s furious charges with remarkable precision.
In the dense forest, the silver figure constantly left behind afterimages as she changed direction swiftly. Each afterimage was soon smashed to pieces by the pursuing bear, whose massive strikes also toppled tall trees in its path. The chaos provoked countless startled roars from nearby beasts.
This fleeing silver figure was Han Yue, who had been sent by Gu He to train in Zhongzhou. After parting ways with Zi Yan, she chose to hone her combat skills in this dangerous, beast-filled mountain range.
During her training, she ventured deep into the mountains accompanied by the Violet Demon Eagle. She had fought numerous fifth-tier magical beasts and even encountered a few sixth-tier ones. However, she had managed to avoid those stronger creatures—until now. This Earth Demon Bear, maddened for some reason, was determined to chase her to the end.
“Woooo~”
As she fled, Han Yue suddenly whistled in a unique and piercing tone toward a certain direction. The sound was sharp and powerful, carrying far into the distance.
Seven or eight kilometers away, atop a small peak, a violet-colored bird with wings spanning five meters suddenly flashed its sharp eyes. Without hesitation, it flapped its enormous wings and soared rapidly toward the source of the whistle.
Hearing Han Yue’s whistle, the Earth Demon Bear grew even more frenzied.
“Roar!”
Fixing its gaze on the fleeing figure ahead, as agile as a loach, the Earth Demon Bear swung its thick claws forward, launching a massive, three-meter-wide attack of earth-yellow energy.
This strike, carefully calculated, targeted a large boulder ahead of Han Yue. With a deafening explosion, the energy smashed the boulder into pieces, sending countless shards and residual energy flying in all directions.
“Ah!”
A shard of stone struck Han Yue’s back, breaking through her Dou Qi barrier and leaving a shocking wound. The force of the impact sent her tumbling several meters to the side before she crashed heavily into another boulder.
“Roar!”
Seeing its attack succeed, the Earth Demon Bear stomped forward with heavy steps, quickly closing the distance to Han Yue.
Under the sunlight, the bear’s enormous shadow gradually engulfed Han Yue’s small figure.
“Caw!”
Just as the Earth Demon Bear raised its massive paw to strike her down, a sharp cry echoed from the sky behind Han Yue.
With the cry came a sudden violet streak, shooting over Han Yue’s head like a bolt of lightning. It struck the Earth Demon Bear’s raised paw with incredible precision and speed.
Seeing the violet energy ray, Han Yue, who was lying on the ground, finally felt her tense heart relax. Since entering this mountain range to train, in less than a month, the Violet Demon Eagle had successfully broken through from the peak of the fifth tier to the early stage of the sixth tier. With its ninth-tier magical beast bloodline, even as a newcomer to the sixth tier, it was among the strongest in its rank.
In Han Yue’s view, as the violet ray struck, a thick layer of earth-yellow Dou Qi energy surged over the Earth Demon Bear’s massive paw. It was evident that this beast had exceptional defensive capabilities attributed to its earth element.
Boom!
The violet energy ray struck the Earth Demon Bear, and while it didn’t inflict significant damage, it caused the bear’s massive body to stumble back several steps.
Moments later, with a gust of fierce wind, the Violet Demon Eagle’s enormous form, spanning five meters, descended beside Han Yue.
“Ah Zi, I’m so lucky you’re here, or I’d be done for this time!”
Seeing the Violet Demon Eagle land by her side, Han Yue, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, forced a weak smile. However, the crimson staining her teeth and lips made her injury more apparent.
“Woo~”
The Violet Demon Eagle let out a mournful cry at the sight of Han Yue’s condition. Its large, crystalline eyes were filled with concern. It lowered its long neck and gently brushed Han Yue with the soft plume atop its head.
Roar!
At that moment, the Earth Demon Bear, pushed back by the Violet Demon Eagle’s energy ray, roared angrily and charged again, swinging its massive paws toward them.
The Violet Demon Eagle, noticing the bear’s movement, flashed a ferocious glint in its crystalline eyes.
Screech!
With a sharp cry, the Violet Demon Eagle released a soft violet energy that gently pushed Han Yue’s body backward. Then, it flapped its mighty wings, soaring into the air, and launched a ferocious attack with its razor-sharp purple talons aimed at the Earth Demon Bear.
Instantly, the area where the two clashed was engulfed in waves of violent Dou Qi energy, toppling countless towering trees.
The Violet Demon Eagle’s ninth-tier bloodline clearly outmatched the Earth Demon Bear. Within just a few exchanges, the bear, known for its defensive prowess, was already covered in wounds.
Boom!
In another collision, the Violet Demon Eagle’s talons tore a deep gash into the Earth Demon Bear’s right shoulder, causing blood to gush out.
Severely injured, the Earth Demon Bear staggered backward several dozen steps, looking at the Violet Demon Eagle with evident fear in its eyes.
“Violet King, your strength is undeniable, but this mountain range is not a place where outsiders like you can run wild!”
The Earth Demon Bear, speaking for the first time in a deep, resonant voice, exuded an air of menace from its words.
“This human girl has killed countless fifth-tier magical beasts since entering the mountains, disrupting the balance and angering the rulers of many other territories. If you continue helping her, you will provoke that one’s wrath as well. When that happens…”
The Earth Demon Bear’s voice, though steady, was laden with a clear threat as it spoke from several dozen meters away.
However, the Violet Demon Eagle showed no sign of retreat. Raised and nurtured by Han Yue, it had long since regarded her as family. How could it abandon her over a few threatening words from the Earth Demon Bear?
