I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 573 - 416 Fatal Fool

"Kill!" Bu Gu’s forehead veins bulged, his eyes almost splitting.

With the furious command from the leader, the middle-aged man hovering in mid-air suddenly raised his hand: "Shatter them all!"

"Zzz~zzz~"

Endless currents intertwined tightly, and in a flash, a huge grey bird suddenly materialized.

Demon Beast·Thundercloud Roc!

It stretched its broad wings, electrical currents coiling around its body, making every feather bristle upright like steel needles!

"Screee~!"

Countless little thunderbirds shot out from the Thundercloud Roc, as densely packed as a downpour, charging towards the Heaven Returning Wood.

Demon Skill·Thunderbird Thousand Assault!

At the treetop of the Heaven Returning Wood, hidden among dense leaves, Yang Qingqing peered coldly through the gaps, watching the middle-aged man.

This was clearly one of the Four Guardian Lions.

Also one of the only two "Lions" left, so...

Why not go reunite with your brothers?

"Jingle jing~ jingle~"

A crisp bell rang out from the thick foliage, and the man’s body instantly stiffened.

"Two Lions!" The elder’s usually hoarse voice turned shrill, "Have your Demon Beast intercept!"

The old geezer was clearly the scheming type, hanging back instead of rushing in, not really taking leader Bu Gu’s words to heart.

He didn’t think the pair who invaded the mountain were ordinary at all.

To sneak in here without a sound—how could regular people manage that?

Just now, the old man had glimpsed the Mountain and Sea Bell contracting, witnessing a Demon Technique he’d never even heard of.

And now...

This woman has Demon Techniques too!

The man called "Two Lions" glared fiercely, mustering all his Demon Breath to fight desperately against the Bell Bracelet’s restraint.

At "Big Lion’s" reminder, his entire Demon Breath erupted!

Countless broken stones exploded from within his body.

Stones flew to form a sphere overhead, wrapping him up like a protective shell.

At this moment, Heaven Returning Wood was using layers of branches to withstand the blistering bombardment of thousands of Thunderbirds.

And the stones swirling around Two Lions were not fewer in number than the ones in Demon Skill·Thunderbird Thousand Assault!

"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing’s beautiful eyes narrowed, once again feeling the limitations of the Bell Bracelet’s control.

People—she could control.

But the Demon Pet inside Two Lions—she and the Bell Bracelet couldn’t suppress at all.

That was the problem right there.

When the Demon Pet burst out from Two Lions’ body, the Demon Breath it brought with it let the man regain his freedom.

Yes, this endless shower of stones was not a Demon Skill, but a Demon Pet with a unique form—Mountain Giant!

"Demoness!" Two Lions perfectly demonstrated the meaning of being "shocked and enraged."

The moment he was controlled, he really panicked!

But anger was his way of masking the fear and regaining composure.

In his mind, Two Lions issued a command and barked, "Crush her!"

With those words, the flying stones began to assemble, the Mountain Giant on the verge of revealing its true form.

Just then, the old man’s alarmed shout rang out again: "Behind you!"

Two Lions shuddered, instinctively leaning to his right, but...

"Ding~"

A crisp sound—A Fire Arrow struck his left elbow!

Immediately, five fiery lines shot out, like flaming whips, binding Two Lions tightly.

At that moment, not only was Two Lions horrified, but the other three also blanched in shock!

How did that arrow hit?

No... Impossible!

You have to understand, Two Lions was in the very center of the "Broken Stone Ball", wrapped in countless stones.

And while the Mountain Giant was assembling, the stones were moving rapidly!

Yet that Fire Arrow pierced the dense stones, even predicting the trajectory of each flying piece?

The fiery lines from the Fire Arrow etched an impossibly clear and unobstructed path, landing precisely on Two Lions’ left elbow!

Unfathomable skill!

Deep in the bamboo forest, a young man in a black windcoat wielded the Ice-colored Jade Marrow Bow, blazing determination in his eyes.

Meanwhile, up among the canopy above the Heaven Returning Wood, Yang Qingqing’s bright eyes shined as well: "Good!"

Accurate and timely!

What a ghostly, lethal arrow,

What a deadly Du Yu!

The arrow’s flight should have whistled through the air, but its sound was drowned by the barrage of Thunderbirds.

By the time the enemy realized, it was already too late!

Back then, Du Yu’s abilities were limited, making it hard to fight alongside Yang Qingqing.

But today, on this battleground, for the first time, she fully understood just how comfortable it was for Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei to have Du Yu as a teammate in battle!

A lot raced through her mind, but Yang Qingqing’s hands didn’t pause!

Amid the Immortal Master’s praises, the Bell Bracelet chimed out crisply: "Jingle jing~ jing~"

"Crash~"

The man who was bound was yanked forward violently.

Even the stones flying together ahead were shattered by his charge!

In a battlefield where life and death are decided in a second, to be hard-controlled for 0.8-1.2 seconds—what kind of ending is that?

"You motherfucker aaaaah!" Survival instinct flared in Two Lions, screaming wildly inside.

As the fiery lines faded from his body, Demon Breath rippled outward in waves!

Two Lions fought desperately against the Bell Bracelet’s control, trying to regain his body.

But in those few controlled moments, he was already thrown into the midst of the Demon Skill·Thunderbird Thousand Assault’s bombardment.

"Crash..."

Two Lions’ Demon Breath Battle Robe shattered, his purple scarf on his head now a scorched mess.

Seeing the disaster, the Thundercloud Roc urgently stopped casting, halting the barrage.

But Two Lions was still flying toward the Heaven Returning Wood.

Heaven Returning Wood reached out its long, sharp thorns.

"Two-way Rush"

"Stab!"

The fierce tree-thorn tore through Two Lions’ skull!

"Pfft~"

A Yue Mountain Lion, an Electric Squirrel, and a snow-white steed with a single horn all emerged at once.

Just like that, before the others’ eyes, Two Lions was dead—clean and sharp.

In the end, he didn’t even utter a final scream.

With Two Lions dead, Demon Beasts swarmed the battlefield, the scene only growing more chaotic.

"No, no..." The Beauty Snake, who’d always clung to Bu Gu, finally moved away from the leader’s side.

She stared in disbelief at Two Lions’ corpse impaled on the thorn, mumbling, lost and devastated.

"Defend." Yang Qingqing already had these Demon Tamers’ temperament pegged and didn’t have the Heaven Returning Wood attack.

As she expected, the Electric Squirrel and Single-Horned Thunder Steed really didn’t join the fight.

Whether out of fear or relief, either way, they fled at top speed.

This set off a chain reaction; seeing their master dead, even the Thundercloud Roc in the sky turned tail and fled.

Only the Mountain Giant stayed, madly attacking the Heaven Returning Wood, while a Yue Mountain Lion lingered in the distance, eyeing its dead master impaled on the thorn.

From afar, a voice called from the depths of the bamboo forest: "Four against two, and you get reverse-killed? Do you even know how to play?"

"You motherfucking little bastard!" Bu Gu snapped his gaze toward Du Yu, eyes blazing fury.

Instantly, a majestic Yue Mountain Lion appeared at Bu Gu’s side.

But Du Yu raised his hands and backed up: "Maybe you should focus on your own men. That old man doesn’t even obey you.

He just stood there watching his teammate die."

Bu Gu glared so hard his eyes bulged, about to pop out of their sockets!

But he had to admit—Du Yu was right.

Completely right!

Burning with rage, Bu Gu glanced up at the old man hovering in the air.

The old man’s face was dark as he gave up on Yang Qingqing, turning straight for Du Yu: "Bu Gu, don’t get tricked by this kid!"

Du Yu just grinned: "See? Still playing mind games with you! He’s coming after me—my master’s left for you.

Leader Bu Gu, that old man is gunning for your life!"

"Shut up!" The old man glared venomously at Du Yu, clearly rattled.

He really had meant to observe the battlefield, letting teammates test the Great Xia Woman’s strength before acting.

Now, with her horrific Demon Techniques on display, the old man was deeply wary.

He even felt a little glad he hadn’t jumped in recklessly.

Now, turning away from Yang Qingqing and charging at Du Yu looked like an act of rage, but in reality...

"Big Lion, take down that Great Xia Demoness!" Bu Gu roared, "Even Two Lions broke free; she can’t hold you! Kill her! Kill!"

The old man’s figure stopped in midair; with Bu Gu hammering the point, he had no choice but to confront Yang Qingqing.

"This little bastard is mine!" Electricity crackled at Bu Gu’s feet as he sprang onto his Yue Mountain Lion, racing madly into the bamboo.

"Nai~"

The Dust Spirit Deer gave a cry as Du Yu leaped onto the Immortal Deer’s back.

Bai Yujing dashed through the forest as Du Yu glanced behind: "Your men don’t listen to you, and your woman doesn’t care either?

Your wife’s still over there mourning Two Lions. She’s sadder than if you’d died."

"Bullshit!" Bu Gu’s patience snapped with a furious roar.

Even his Yue Mountain Lion roared along beneath him: "ROAR!!!"

"See—see for yourself!" Du Yu stammered, his body trembling, and even Bai Yujing’s four legs were quaking in fear.

Sound-type Demon Skill·Yue Mountain Shake really is a Divine Skill!

Not to mention, at 8 million, it’s worth it just for this skill!

On any battlefield, the moment sides clash, if someone suddenly bellows—a guaranteed panic, chaos for the foe.

"Down—down!" Du Yu squeaked out.

Bai Yujing fought off her terror and plunged headfirst underground.

"Pfft~"

Du Yu instantly retrieved his Dust Spirit Deer, and dove into the earth.

"Roar!"

The Yue Mountain Lion soon followed, slamming its paw furiously on the ground. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The earth burst, shockwaves spreading!

With cracks spiderwebbing through the soil, clusters of purple bamboo were torn apart, crashing down.

"Catch him! Rip him to shreds!" Bu Gu’s roar was nearly hoarse.

His mount dove underground without a second thought.

"Damn it, bastard, damn it." Bu Gu paced back and forth, practically fuming out of his skin.

But Du Yu’s words were still gnawing at him.

Subconsciously, he wanted to check, casting his gaze into the distance.

Fortunately, the Beauty Snake wasn’t actually mourning Two Lions.

She was leading her Demon Pet to attack the Heaven Returning Wood, wild-eyed and deranged.

The wife who’d always stuck close to him didn’t join him in the fight, aiming instead at the Great Xia Demoness...

Hmm... That actually made sense.

After all, the Great Xia Woman was the stronger one; Big Lion needed help more.

"Rumble—"

Just as Bu Gu was spacing out, the ground suddenly collapsed.

Deep underground, Du Yu instantly drew back the Mountain and Sea Bell.

At the same moment, Mountain Realm·Under the Clouds.

A bell-shaped mass of earth exploded!

There, the massive Yue Mountain Lion appeared, roaring furiously: "ROAR!!!"

"Crack!"

A massive current crashed down from the sky, like an electric waterfall!

The raging thunder enveloped the Yue Mountain Lion, even shattering the Jia Rong Grass that tried to greet it!

"Moo!!!"

Above the clouds, an even more furious roar echoed!

Are you trying to scare me?

Tired! Of! Living! Are! You!
