Chapter 394: Daoist Yang, this is the last time I help you
"In my previous life, I was treated as a waste my entire life and finally died tragically at the hands of the Demon Clan."
"My cousin was frozen into an ice block by the Demon Clan for my sake."
"I never expected to be reborn!"
"In this life, I'm going to trample all the demons who look down on me beneath my feet!"
"I'm not trying to prove how extraordinary I am, I just want to take back everything I've lost!"
A bolt of lightning flashed!
A faint gray soul body slowly took shape above Yang Changzai's corpse.
Filled with intense unwillingness, Yang Changzai was revived!
He felt as if his whole body was weightless, as if he had no force, and the rocks beside him passed through him effortlessly.
He knew he wasn't dead, revived in a peculiar form.
Yang Changzai did not panic, instead his eyes were full of determination!
"No matter what form I take, no matter when I die, I will do what I want to do!"
"I, Yang Changzai!"
"Will no longer suffer a coward's death!"
"I want to live again!"
"Brother Jian, I'm coming!"
With a strong conviction, he drifted toward the ice-bound Yang Fujian!
Yang Changzai had a feeling in his heart, he... could help Yang Fujian.
This was an intuition from the soul.
Boom!
A hundred-meter-tall figure descended from the sky!
"Roar!!!"
With a roar, the giant bear shook the earth!
Yang Changzai's newly formed soul trembled, almost dispersed by the roar!
"What the hell?"
Yang Changzai felt a tightness in his heart and tremblingly drifted away...
"Brother Jian, it seems reinforcements have arrived, I'll come to find you later..."
As an anomalous soul, he was still too weak now; even the aftermath could kill him.
Moreover, he saw Yang Shi and Cat Soul Feather standing on the bear's shoulder... the Yang Family had arrived, everything was stable now.
Yang Shi was like that, giving people a sense of reassurance.
As long as he is in the Danai Dynasty, everyone feels secure at heart.
"Bear! Why do you obstruct me!"
The Flood Dragon demon roared angrily.
Among these, the only one that made the Flood Dragon demon wary was the giant bear, this brutish low-level demon clan.
Although the Flood Dragon demon could suppress the bear thanks to its bloodline advantage, both were Golden Core Eighth Layer great demons, and achieving complete victory would take considerable effort.
"Friend Yang asked me to teach you a lesson, so I came." The bear said calmly.
"Friend Yang? You consider him a friend and he sees you as a fool!"
The Flood Dragon demon sneered!
"Do you know where I've been these days? Together with the giant claw, I've toured the entire continent! What nonsense about Tongtian Taoist and Thunderfire Immortal! They don't exist here! They're just some mortals and low-level cultivators!"
"In the Demon Realm, they are only worthy to become food!"
"Wake up! The Human Clan is no longer the Ancient Human Clan of the past! They are weak now! This era belongs to us, the Demon Clan! We will take over here and ascend to the Spirit Miao Continent to enjoy the best cultivation resources!"
Yang Shi's face changed.
"Sounding terrifying, Bear, go deal with him! My master Tongtian Taoist is elusive, how could a little demon like him see him easily?"
Hearing all these 'explosive news' from the Flood Dragon demon, Bear's expression remained calm.
"Flood Dragon, come, let's have a fight, I've wanted to spar with you for a long time..."
"Stubborn fool! Fine! Let me personally teach you a lesson, you fool! Bear, if I lose, you can do as you please, without any complaints, but if you lose... I won't take your life or demon core, you and your people will follow me and return to the Demon Clan!"
The Flood Dragon demon looked heartbroken!
He didn't want to kill the bear because he needed the bear... He knew that the portal was already struggling to maintain itself, and to secure a foothold and ascend to the Spirit Miao Continent, he needed more helpers!
The bear was currently the strongest he had seen!
"Fine!"
Without wasting words, the bear directly grabbed a mountain and smashed it forward!
"Water Wave Transfer!"
Transforming into his true form, the Flood Dragon demon floated in the air, his silver-white whiskers shimmering with light, looking incredibly graceful, like a giant dragon.
A flowing water curtain appeared before him, redirecting the mountain to the side.
The bear swung a 50-meter-tall tree, striking forward!
One bear, one flood dragon; one power, one spell, entangled in combat.
The battle between the two late-stage Golden Core great demons was earth-shattering!
Cat Soul Feather transformed into a large white cat, drifting to Yang Fujian's side in a few strides.
The giant claw demon was about to attack her when Cat Soul Feather's eyes shone with a demonic purple light.
"You're sleepy..."
The giant claw demon, having just fought a great battle, dropped its guard and drowsily lowered its pincers. With a fierce look in its eyes, Cat Soul Feather raised its sharp cat paws and slashed toward the giant claw demon's neck!
Bam!
From the sky, an ice arrow struck, piercing Cat Soul Feather's hand!
"Ah~"
Cat Soul Feather cried out in pain. The strike was so swift that she couldn't even see it coming, and she, known for her agility, was utterly unable to dodge.
"Little cat! Don't be naughty..."
While the Flood Dragon demon fought with the bear, he also kept an eye on his subordinates, multitasking, revealing how strong his divine sense was.
Even Cat Soul Feather's magic was broken, and the giant claw demon was filled with fear, almost having its neck pierced by the cat paw.
"Boss, I'll go first!"
"Hmm! Just protect yourself; don't worry about me. This brutal bear... apart from being strong, has no other skills."
After the Flood Dragon demon spoke, he thoroughly enraged the bear!
"When I pull out your whiskers, you'll understand what skill is!"
The bear erupted with yellow light all over; the stones and mountains under his feet seemed summoned, flying to him and transforming into his giant armor.
The intensity of the two demons' battle escalated once more!
"Auntie Cat, take Little Jian away!"
Yang Fuqing, riding on the long-haired parrot, turned back to pick up the two people.
Even Cat Soul Feather found participating in such a level of combat difficult.
Her cultivation level was still far too low.
Moreover, at this moment, the premonition from the Nine Lives talent warned her that staying here, even a slight mistake, might cost her a life.
She no longer hesitated, grabbing Yang Fujian with a cat paw and channeling gentle demonic power to help Yang Fujian thaw and regain normal form.
"I'm not dead yet?"
Yang Fujian woke up as if from a dream.
"Dad brought reinforcements to save you."
In the sky, Yang Shi nodded at the two of them. Watching the bear and Flood Dragon demon's battle, his brow furrowed.
He could see... in the long run, the bear wasn't a match for the Flood Dragon demon.
This was a disparity that came from their bloodlines.
If we use the Ancestor's character card to describe it, then... Da Xiong's talent quality is inferior to the Flood Dragon Demon's.
If Da Xiong loses... then according to Da Xiong's straightforward personality, he certainly would not go back on his word. At that point, he might really be taken away by the Flood Dragon Demon.
'If only I had a way to deal with the Flood Dragon Demon.'
Yang Shi silently thought in his heart, and then tentatively asked, "Ancestor, are you watching?"
"I am."
Yang Genshuo was naturally watching. In this kind of scenario, he would slow down the pace to avoid advancing a day and having several members of the Yang family die suddenly.
His judgment was the same as Yang Shi's.
"Da Xiong is probably not a match for the Flood Dragon Demon."
And what can he do to help now?
Yang Genshuo looked through all his abilities. Some ordinary blessings were not mentioned as they had nothing that could instantly increase combat power and turn the tide.
"It still depends on the [Miracle]."
This ability was currently his most flexible, and the one with the highest limit.
It involves invoking the talents and abilities of other Yang family descendants and bestowing them upon the Yang family members he's focused on.
At this moment, he listed all the abilities of the Yang family descendants in his divine sense, made a big round of searching, and found nothing that could change the situation.
"Do I have to borrow Yang Qiangyou's Qi Fortune again and wait for heaven's favor?"
Last time, when Yang Shi failed to advance, he relied on Qi Fortune to wait for the Feng Lian, which digs space channels, to arrive, saving him from a slit beast of the Feng family at the Golden Core Stage, preserving his life.
But this Qi Fortune thing relies on heaven, not oneself.
Yang Genshuo did not know what changes would come with giving Yang Shi Qi Fortune.
"The key issue is... Yang Shi's Qi Fortune also cannot affect Da Xiong's battle outcome."
This ability of Yang Genshuo couldn't be bestowed on Da Xiong either.
After filtering through a bunch, Yang Genshuo found only one slightly useful thing...
"Yang Qiangwei's [Heartfire Technique], a purely supportive cultivation technique."
This set of cultivation techniques had no offensive power, and all of it was in assisting others. It was a Heavenly Level Technique of the Enchanting Demon Clan, usually used by an enchanting demon for their partner.
Once an enchanting demon is abandoned by their partner...the one who cultivates [Heartfire Technique] alone will be very miserable, unable to defeat even those at the same Realm, and get suppressed across realms...
But this extreme technique also created extremely powerful support abilities.
Yang Genshuo thought briefly.
[Activate Miracle: Ancestor, please grant me strength]
[Incense Fire -150]
Borrowing this set of techniques from Yang Qiangwei at the Foundation Establishment Stage only required 150 incense fire value, which was quite cost-effective.
A golden light descended onto Yang Fuqing's head.
[Manifestation]
"Fuqing, go help Da Xiong!"
A peculiar demon clan technique was fiercely injected into Yang Fuqing's soul, along with all the cultivation insights and usage experiences, as if she had been practicing for ten kun years!
"[Heartfire Skill·Power]!"
A purple light pierced through the sky and blessed Da Xiong, causing his explosive power to expand again!
Becoming even more explosive!
One punch shattered the Flood Dragon Demon's water curtain!
For the first time, grabbing his body...
Slap!
A bear-like slap flew over, directly twisting the Flood Dragon Demon's mouth!
"Good!"
Yang Genshuo laughed heartily. This sudden increase made Da Xiong's strength exceed the Flood Dragon Demon's predictions, catching him off guard.
"It seems this Heartfire Technique is percentage-based augmentation, no wonder a Foundation Establishment Stage enchanting demon could also become a valuable assistant to Golden Core Demon Clan... indeed, very useful!"
Bringing an enchanting demon who cultivates [Heartfire Technique] could enhance a Golden Core Stage Demon Clan's combat power by two or three parts.
"Damao, take them back, I'll go help!"
"You must return alive!"
Damao, with eyes brimming with tears, watched Yang Fuqing ride the Fire Bird and fly out.
Pff!
The Fire Bird spat a mouthful of flame.
"Don't say such ominous things!"
Aoo~~~
The Fire Bird and Yang Fuqing flew up to aid in battle, with various [Heartfire Technique] spells cast, Da Xiong was comprehensively blessed!
Though it was only a two or three-part increase, it precisely bridged the bloodline gap between him and the Flood Dragon Demon!
"You actually know the enchanting demon's secret technique... what kind of people is your Yang family really!"
The Flood Dragon Demon was completely incredulous, which was entirely different from the information he received!
The Demon Clan didn't say that the human clan here also knew the Demon Clan's methods!
It's important to note that the Demon Clan reveres magic, specializing in various spells with mysterious changes. It was said that in the early days when the human clan was weak, they learned spells from the Demon Clan and then developed their own Daoist skills.
Now, many human clan spells have shadows of demon clan spells.
What he feared was not just Yang Fuqing's [Heartfire Technique], but the implications behind it...
The Flood Dragon Demon had many guesses in his heart, but he had yet to determine the victor with Da Xiong.
"Let's go!"
Cat Soul Feather grabbed Yang Fujian and jumped onto the Long-haired Parrot.
"Wait a second!"
Yang Fujian jumped off to pick up one of the giant claw demon's pincers that he had cut down.
"This thing is extremely hard. My high-grade treasure couldn't cut it... taking it back could make a good magic treasure."
Given the current artifact refinement level of the Danai Dynasty, it wouldn't be possible.
Yang Fujian planned to have the ancestor pass it to his brother Yang Fushuo during this year's ancestral rites so that he could have someone on Spirit Miao Continent forge it.
By then, the Yang family could have another treasure.
The Long-haired Parrot carried Cat Soul Feather and Yang Fujian into the sky.
They did not notice a faint shadow chase after them...
"Brother Jian, wait for me! I haven't gotten on the bird yet!"
Yang Changzai's soul rushed forward.
The battle here could not be quickly decided, and Yang Shi was still watching, but suddenly... the Bright City erupted with the sound of cannon fire!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Artillery fired in unison!
"It's the anti-aircraft guns given by the Ancestor!"
Yang Shi was startled!
This anti-aircraft gun was usually dormant and would only react when facing an attack!
The sound of gunfire meant there was definitely an attack!
"Ancestor?"
Yang Genshuo's perspective immediately shifted to Yang Qianglin in the city.
At this moment, no one was attacking Bright City; Jiang Xiaobai had activated the anti-aircraft gun himself.
In the sky, there was also a strong sense of explosion from bullet talismans, smoke filled the air!
"What happened?"
