Nestled in Xue Lingfeng's arms, Cui Zi and Kanade were also helpless. They had a feeling that this guy was just trying to collect beautiful shrine maidens and was only fooling them like this.
"Why did Princess Kanade come here? Is it because of that legend?"
Midori looked at Kanade and asked.
Xue Lingfeng wasn't surprised that she knew Zou Ji's whereabouts, but she was a little puzzled as to why Zou Ji had come here.
There's a legend in this area that every 50 years, a white mist appears on the other side of the sea, shrouding the surface.
An island will appear in the mist; that is the legendary Penglai Island.
Every 50 years, a large number of monsters appear, trying to reach Penglai Island.
However, it seems there are also powerful beings on Penglai Island, and there will be conflicts between the two sides.
These were secrets that Cui Zi had learned from the ancient books in the villages around the area during her travels.
"Indeed, I came here for Penglai Island, and it just so happens that the 50-year period has recently been confirmed."
Kanade glanced at Midori and smiled. She had naturally learned about it from the villagers as well.
In the past, a high priestess dressed in armor and carrying a long sword had visited the village; it must have been Midori.
"It seems you've also read that book. It records human corpses. I wanted to come here to investigate what Penglai Island is really like."
She was particularly concerned about the civilians on the island.
"It's just that we should wait another day or two before the mist appears, and Penglai Island will naturally come into view."
Zou Ji spoke softly, but she twisted her body slightly. Being held like this by Xue Lingfeng still made her extremely uncomfortable.
After being released by Xue Lingfeng, Lingyue Fairy glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "Is that enough?"
She simply couldn't stand Xue Lingfeng being sandwiched between the two witches and participating in their conversation as if no one else was around; it made her feel incredibly awkward and uncomfortable.
"Not bad." Xue Lingfeng clicked her tongue. "Your tribe is up to you to take care of."
Why wait two days?
Then Xue Lingfeng glanced at the sea, and immediately a fierce wind howled, and a mist rose from the sea.
As a gust of wind dispersed, an island shrouded in a massive barrier appeared.
Penglai Island.
As she looked at the island that was remarkably similar to the one she had seen in ancient texts, she spoke softly.
She hadn't expected Xue Lingfeng to make the island appear so easily.
Chapter 277 Souhime: My Nemesis?
"Huh?? Penglai Island has actually appeared??" A shocked whisper instantly shattered the calm on the sea.
Originally, this sea area was closely guarded by several monsters who were responsible for monitoring the movements of Penglai Island.
At that moment, all the monsters were stunned and stood there dumbfounded, their eyes filled with disbelief as they gazed at the island that had suddenly appeared.
One of the monsters stammered, "Didn't you say it would take another day or two to appear? How come it's popped up now?"
A strangely shaped, high-level demon stared intently at the island. Although equally shocked, it quickly regained its composure and said in a deep voice:
"Regardless of when it appears, now that it has appeared, the most urgent thing is to hurry back and inform the adults so that they know about this."
After saying that, it flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost.
Not long after, a violent tremor suddenly surged on the calm sea surface, as if a sleeping giant was awakening in the seabed.
Immediately afterwards, pitch-black, demonic clouds rolled in from all directions, instantly obscuring a large portion of the sky.
As the demonic clouds descended, surging demonic power spread outwards like a tide, filling the sea with a chilling aura.
One by one, monsters of various shapes emerged from the demonic clouds, shrieking and howling.
The sounds of "ga ga ga" and "whoosh whoosh whoosh" intertwined, as if it were a symphony from hell.
Under the cover of these dark, ominous clouds, the sky instantly darkened, and night fell prematurely.
In the sky, hundreds of strangely shaped, low-level monsters swarmed in. These monsters were born with the ability to fly.
Each of them carried a monster on its back, forming a vast and mighty flying army.
At the very front of this large army, four figures stood out conspicuously.
They are agile and can soar freely in the air without needing any external force.
It should be noted that those who can fly freely in the sky are either naturally gifted monsters or powerful beings who have reached the level of great monsters.
"They're here." Zou Ji's expression instantly turned cold and sharp as she stared intently at the four figures flying in the sky.
These four great demons are all at the late stage of the great demon level, and their strength is quite remarkable.
In the past, she might have felt a little tricky, but at this moment, she felt no pressure at all.
After all, she had Cui Zi by her side, not to mention Xue Lingfeng who was holding her tightly.
Thinking of this, Zou Ji subconsciously glanced at Xue Lingfeng, who was still holding her, her cheeks flushing slightly, and said reproachfully:
"Can't your hands stay still for a second?"
Her fair face was flushed with a blush like the sunset, and even through her clothes, she could clearly feel the warmth from Xue Lingfeng's palm.
“That’s just how bad guys are,” Cui Zi said softly to Zou Ji after glancing at Xue Lingfeng.
"The longer you spend time with him, the more outrageous he'll become."
“Those four guys were originally Zou Ji’s nemesis.” Xue Lingfeng looked at the four great demons known as the “Four Fighting Gods” in the sky, and then turned to look at Zou Ji.
If it weren't for their involvement this time, Kanade would have ultimately sacrificed herself to protect the village.
"My nemesis?" Zou Ji frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt as she looked at Xue Lingfeng, her heart filled with confusion.
While these four great demons are indeed quite powerful, calling them her nemesis is, in Kanade's opinion, a bit of an exaggeration.
With her strength, although she couldn't punish them all at once, it would be easy for her to escape unscathed.
Seeing Zou Ji's confusion, Xue Lingfeng said:
"Those four great demons together are called the Four War Gods. Their individual strength may not be top-tier among great demons, but if they combine their powers, their strength will undergo a tremendous change, and they can withstand a king-level great demon."
"Able to stop a King-level Great Demon?" Upon hearing this, Zou Ji couldn't help but look at the Four Gods of War in the sky again, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
If what Xue Lingfeng said is true, then these four War Gods are indeed the strongest opponents she has ever encountered.
But her inherent pride wouldn't allow her to show weakness easily. She straightened her back and said confidently:
"I don't know if I can kill them, but if they want to kill me, they don't have the ability."
She stared intently at Xue Lingfeng, her eyes revealing a stubbornness; she had no intention of showing the slightest cowardice in front of Xue Lingfeng.
Xue Lingfeng looked at Zou Ji, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
In the original story, although the Four Gods could not kill Kanade, Kanade was equally helpless against the Four Gods.
To protect the humans on the island, Souhime even sacrificed herself by choosing to seal the power of the Four War Gods.
But now the situation is different; they have Cui Zi on their side.
"Besides, with Cui Zi here now, the four of them definitely wouldn't be a match for her, right?"
Kanade turned her gaze to Midori, from the first time she saw Midori...
She sensed that Cui Zi possessed a vast and pure spiritual power, and she felt even more strongly that Cui Zi's strength was unfathomable.
"Suiko is getting stronger and stronger, far surpassing her previous strength. I'm afraid even a king-level demon wouldn't be able to withstand her."
"Souhime will become very strong in the future."
Midori looked at Kanade with encouraging eyes and gently patted Kanade's shoulder.
"Oh, those guys have noticed us."
Kurumi Tokisaki's languid voice suddenly rang out as she rubbed her slightly swollen belly and spoke with a smile. This action made Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing nearby, frown. Why did Kurumi seem a little different?
Could it be because I've been fed too much lately and visited Yun Dian too many times, causing my mindset to change?
"Oh my, why are you staring at me like that? I get shy too."
Kurumi Tokisaki noticed Utaha Kasumigaoka's gaze, turned around, and gave a mischievous smile.
Hearing her teasing words, which were no different from usual, Kasumigaoka Utaha was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
"Does Utaha-chan want to be like me? Then you'll have to work hard, dear."
Upon hearing this, several black lines immediately appeared on Kasumigaoka Utaha's forehead.
A bundle of rope instantly appeared in her hand, as if she were ready to teach this mischievous fellow a lesson at any moment.
When Tokisaki Kurumi saw the rope in Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand, she was so frightened that she hid behind Yukifune Fuu, saying repeatedly, "Utaha-chan, don't be angry, why are you so easily teased?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha glared fiercely at Tokisaki Kurumi, utterly helpless against this troublesome spirit.
Just as everyone was talking, one of the four great demons in the sky, a green figure, suddenly fell like a meteor and plunged into the sea.
Roar
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar came from the seabed, and the entire sea surface began to churn violently, as if a terrible storm was about to arrive.
With a loud "splash," waves several meters high suddenly surged up from the sea.
These waves, as if lifted by an invisible hand, shot straight into the sky, forming a huge curtain of rain.
With a deafening roar, the rain slowly fell, and an enormous tortoise appeared before everyone.
This turtle is entirely emerald green, and its enormous shell resembles a small mountain.
The surface of the tortoise shell is covered with sharp spikes, like a series of blades.
The turtle's shell was covered with more than a dozen holes, but what was most chilling was that the turtle had a human face on its head.
Those eerie red eyes were staring intently at Xue Lingfeng and his group on the ship, as if sizing up their prey.
"Bang bang bang!" Suddenly, three golden demonic energy projectiles shot out from the tortoise's shell, these projectiles flying like cannonballs.
With a whooshing sound, it hurtled straight toward Xue Lingfeng and the others' small boat.
Despite the attack, Midori remained remarkably calm. She stared at the great demon without a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
She slowly raised her index finger, and a flash of inspiration appeared at her fingertip.
In an instant, brilliant spiritual energy shone like a blazing sun, illuminating the entire sea surface.
Immediately afterwards, this spiritual energy, accompanied by a shrill sound that tore through the air, shot towards the tortoise like a bolt of lightning.
The spiritual energy instantly penetrated the tortoise's massive body, even its highly defensive shell.
It was as fragile as paper in the face of Cui Zi's spiritual power, offering no resistance whatsoever.
"Ah, how could a shrine maiden possess such power? Such pure spiritual energy."
With a piercing wail, the tortoise's massive body began to gush out large amounts of blood.
The blood quickly stained the surrounding seawater, turning the surface into a shocking red.
A precious pearl on the turtle's head flew out, shimmering with an eerie light in the air.
Gangluo's body struggled in the seawater for a few moments before quickly disappearing.
Cui Zi directly put it into the chat group shop and got several thousand points in return.
This scene left the other three great demons stunned and filled with alarm.
If that attack from Cui Zi had hit them, they probably would have ended up like Gang Luo.
After all, Gangluo had the strongest defense among them. If even Gangluo couldn't withstand Midori's attacks, how could they possibly withstand them?
Thinking of this, the eyes of the three great demons were filled with apprehension.
Chapter 278 Four War Gods Combined, Cui Zi: So Weak
On the sea, Gangluo's body vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes, leaving only an eerie blank space on the surface.
The other three members of the Four Fighting Gods, Long Luo, Xiong Luo, and Shou Luo, were all tense, like taut bowstrings, their wary gazes like sharp blades, all shooting towards Xue Lingfeng's side.
They saw Cui Zi being held tightly in Xue Lingfeng's arms, looking like a little bird nestled against him.
And the nonchalant expression on Midori's face, as if everything happening before her eyes was nothing more than a trivial farce.
This scene was like salt rubbed into their wounds, unleashing their anger like a raging tide.
