The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 293-294

293: Jier Arrives

The demon commander stretched his porcelain hand toward Ming Xi and the others. A melon sized black sphere rushed toward them, streaking red lightning in its wake.

The sphere contained a shocking amount of destructive energy. Had it been in its heyday, Ming Xi knew he would never have been able to block it.

Despite just breaking free from his confinement, the commander already had so much power. He truly was an ancient demon.

Ming Xi knew it was useless to hide, but he refused to give up. He stared at the incoming sphere as he raised his sword.

“Chirp! Chirp!” Little Seven flew to Ming Xi and blew out a small, colorful flame from her mouth. The flame, which was a life flame, was unique to the seven-colored phoenix and was incredibly powerful despite its small size. Little Seven’s flame was as young as she was and wouldn’t be able to stand up against the power of an ancient demon, but that didn’t mean it was worthless.

In order to protect her master, Little Seven used the strongest attack she had, which was the flame.

The flame and the black sphere collided in mid-air, creating a huge explosion. Ming Xi tried to protect everyone with his sword as the ground shook.

Unfortunately, he had used up too much energy from the earlier clash. If he had been outside, he could have used the power of the moon to restore his energy and heal his wounds, but it was a pity he was underground and blocked from the moon’s light.

They couldn’t escape the explosion but they were spared a direct hit from the black sphere, so they survived with non-fatal injuries.

“Cough! Cough!” Demon Wind coughed out a dirty mouthful of blood. He felt like his innards were going to erupt. He hadn’t expected to survive that last attack. Thankfully Master Phoenix blocked a large part of it, otherwise the he would have died instantly.

Ming Xi used the sword to prop himself up. He stared vigilantly at the commander.

Jier had already guessed something was going on inside based on the amount of demonic energy flowing out of the temple. He knew how strong Ming Xi was, plus there was Little Seven, so there was no way Zi Cheng could have pulled anything off. Nevertheless, an uneasy feeling niggled at Jier. The feeling only grew as demonic energy flowed out.

Yanran and Oleen didn’t matter; he had to go in and see what was going on.

A shiver of horror ran up Yanran’s back. Whatever was inside the temple was dangerous and she knew she didn’t want to go in. She didn’t want to watch Jier go in either. Between the three of them, he was the only one who could stand against the demon, so she was worried what would happen to her and Oleen if he left them. It wouldn’t be good, that was certain.

Luckily for her, Jier wasn’t thinking about abandoning them entirely. He took out two red lotuses. They were the size of a baby’s palm and had traces of Blue Flame’s energy. It would protect them even if Jier was a thousand miles away.

After getting rid of the two deadweights, Jier rushed into the temple. A huge explosion scared him and he stopped momentarily, but quickly rushed forward again. He increased his speed, not daring to stop.

Finally, he reached the interior room where Ming Xi and the others were. He stood staring at Demon Wind and the commander guardedly. josei

“There’s no time to talk. Help me keep him here. I need some time to recover.” Ming Xi didn’t bother asking why Jier was still in the underground, he simply accepted the reinforcement. With Jier there, he could recover a bit.

Jier didn’t know what was going on, but what Ming Xi said made sense. Now wasn’t the time to ask questions.

The energy around the man clad in black was incredibly powerful and murderous.

“Alright.” Jier agreed.

“Breath of the Four Seals,” muttered the commander. Something flashed across his eyes, but whatever it was, was quickly replaced by killing intent.

“Who are you?” Jier didn’t dare take the guy lightly.

“Heir of the Four Seals, die.”

Jier couldn’t beat him, but he could stall and give Ming Xi enough time to recover.

The demon lord commander’s attention was fully on Jier. He showed no mercy and immediately sent out two dragons to attack. The dragons looked just like their master, with jet black skin and crimson eyes.

Jier used air magic to defend against one while Little Seven turned into a giant ten-meter-long phoenix to fight the other.

Although the dragon was only formed out of demonic miasma, the killing intent it possessed made it difficult to deal with.

Little Seven was only able to tie with the dragon despite trying her best. Their roars rang through the air as neither she nor the dragon backed down. Jier stayed in one piece only because of the strength of Summer’s staff, otherwise just relying on his own abilities, he would have already been torn to pieces.

The commander stood and watched as they fought. The murderous aura around him hadn’t diminished but he didn’t make a move. It was like he was watching a fight between rats.

Ming Xi’s injuries had healed and his energy reserves had almost fully replenished after drinking a healing potion and eating the spiritual fruit he’d gotten from Feng Wu.

294: Feng Wu Arrives

The commander mercilessly released another ball of energy towards Ming Xi after taking a hard look at the prince.

Ming Xi imbued magic into his sword and swung it with the most powerful sword intent he knew. An explosion sounded as the two energies collided. The quake that resulted spread beyond the temple and shook the entire Demon Wind Island. Needless to say, it only served to heighten the fear and anger of those on the island.

The demon commander’s voice came out cold and stiff, like a machine. “Not bad for a descendent of the gods. Pity though, you’ll be dying here.”

The only thing rippling from his body was savage killing intent. His hair changed after he spoke. The long hair that flowed down beyond his waist broke off in the middle. New growth quickly replaced the loss length, while the broken pieces grew to the same length.

The strands of broken hair swarmed around Ming Xi. Each hair fiber, much like its owner, was filled with killing intent. Ming Xi readied his sword as he watched the millions of hair strands closely. He swung his sword and chopped at the dense hair forest.

The strands were not so easy to dispatch however. The cut strands regrew in midair and attacked again. Ming Xi kept slashing, but it was as though the strands were immortal, they kept regenerating and attacking. Ming Xi even resorted to using two holy level skills to no avail.

Ming Xi’s eyes darkened. He lowered the sword and summoned a cluster of egg-sized flames. The colorful flames were Little Seven’s life fire. He was able to summon them because of the symbiotic contract he shared with Little Seven.

The flames exerted enough pressure on the hair to prevent their regeneration, so Ming Xi was finally able to deal permanent damage.

He sighed in relief. He had feared the flames would have no effect.

In the meantime Feng Wu had climbed the long stairs, following Demon Wind’s trail, and entered a specific room that was separated from the sealed demon lord commander’s room. She noticed the battle immediately. It only took a few steps for Feng Wu and Xiao Chun to reach the exterior yard where the fighting was happening and she was finally able to see the person she was looking for. She entered the space while they were fighting.

Her eyes lit up. “Senior Ming Xi!”

“Xiao Wu!” Ming Xi turned distractedly to the source of the voice. Unexpectedly, he saw someone who wasn’t supposed to be there.

“Xiao Wu!” Jier was also surprised, but he was happy to see her. He was just thinking how things would work out so much better if Feng Wu was there. Now here she was. “Quick! Hurry and use your powers to purify the demon guy!”

Jier’s powers weren’t the right match for the situation. He was all about destruction. If he let loose and fought hard, then odds were high that the island would be destroyed.

Ming Xi was in the same situation as well. He was strong, but to really shine he needed a place with moonlight. An underground tunnel was the worse place for him to fight in. If it weren’t for the lack of natural moonlight, there was no way he would have been beaten back as hard as he had been.

They could only fight at fifty percent their normal strength because their positions were so disadvantageous. Naturally Jier was excited to see Feng Wu, whose ability was purification.

Feng Wu nodded before turning to Xiao Chun and saying, “Xiao Chun, go.”

Finally! Upon hearing the words, Xiao Chun knew he’d gotten permission to play and eat to his heart’s content. He happily circled around Feng Wu before emitting silvery light from this body and chasing off after the demonic energy floating in the air.

Three minutes later the demonic miasma in the underground temple was almost eradicated. The only place with any lingering miasma was the dark pond and whatever came from the commander.

Xiao Chun flew into the room with the demon lord commander. He ignored Zi Cheng and instead flew directly into the black pond. Bubbles immediately rose and burst from the surface as more magic energy came out of it.

The color lightened until it was no longer black and had returned to being a spiritual pond again. Xiao Chun flew out, satisfied.

Feng Wu looked at the demon lord commander closely as she stood in front of him. She did not like his aura.

“Xiao Wu! Get away from him! He’s a demon lord commander!” Ming Xi had watched as Feng Wu, clearly unafraid of death, stood in front of the commander, bold as brass. Ming Xi was so scared for her that he nearly dropped his defense and allowed the strands of hair to hit him.

Feng Wu tilted her head up at the commander. After three minutes of staring she finally asked, “Are you sick?”

Ming Xi and Jier nearly collapsed. Even Demon Wind, who had been ignored by the commander and was watching the play of events from the side, was so shocked that he coughed up another mouthful of blood in surprise. He wondered where this dense sister came from, talking nonsense in front of a demon commander.

The commander was probably ignoring Demon Wind because of the other three. One was a god descendent, another was an heir to one of the four seasons, and the other was a seven-colored phoenix touched by the gods.
