Chapter 273 -271: Negligent
The next morning at dawn.
A strand of seven-colored rosy clouds pierced through the clouds, casting a fall on White Dragon Immortal City, looking incomparably sacred.
At first, cultivators showed a look of excitement, thinking it was an auspicious sign. However, what followed the seven-colored light was an extremely dense demonic aura. In the clouds, a pair of giant wings that spanned tens of miles flapped open.
“The Seven-Colored Peacock! It’s the legendary Seven-Colored Peacock!”
Immediately, a Foundation Establishment cultivator on the city wall exclaimed in horror, “One of the rulers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it’s said to possess Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, is naturally cruel, and extremely terrifying in strength!”
“Do not panic, it’s just a Demon Beast’s blinding trick.”
Above the city tower, City Lord Xu Yuan soared into the sky, steering an ice-frost surrounded Magical Treasure mirror, directly confronting the Seven-Colored Peacock in the sky.
Since yesterday, when the Three-tailed Green Fox released the news that “Ancestor Xu perished in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range,” the city had already begun to fall into extreme panic. The presence of a Nascent Soul in White Dragon Immortal City versus its absence was a completely different matter.
One could say that Ancestor Xu was White Dragon Immortal City’s sea-calming divine needle. If he had indeed perished, panic would inevitably arise within the city, and afterwards, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to maintain the defense of this city.
The only one who did not believe this news was Xu Yuan.
His father’s life plate was in his hand, without a single crack, not even a scratch. How could it be possible for him to have fallen? It must just be a tactic used by the Demon Beasts to destabilize the army’s morale.
Furthermore, before departing, Ancestor Xu had repeatedly instructed that they must defend White Dragon Immortal City at all costs, and as long as they could hold on until his return, they would surely survive this calamity.
Therefore, Ancestor Xu left behind the Treasure mirror, entrusting Xu Yuan with the defense of the city. With his Mid-stage Golden Core cultivation plus the Treasure mirror, in addition to the joint defense of countless city guards, even if the Third-tier Late-stage Seven-Colored Peacock came in person, he could ensure the safety of White Dragon Immortal City without fail!
“Sword Array! Assist the family head in slaying the enemy!”
A series of figures broke through the wind, most of them being Late-stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators, leading them was an Early-stage Golden Core Sword Cultivator. Over a dozen people enveloped in sword intent, instantly forming a dazzling Sword Array in midair, flanking Xu Yuan on both sides, jointly attacking the Seven-Colored Peacock.
…
“Chirp chirp~~~”
The Seven-Colored Peacock flapped its wings with a loud cry, and a rain of seven-colored divine light fell from the sky. The chaotic demonic power crisscrossed, enveloping everything in the sky and heading straight for the trusting City Lord of White Dragon Immortal City.
“Hum—”
Xu Yuan lifted the Treasure mirror, and after channeling mana into it, a rosy glow emanated from the mirror, instantly transforming into a gigantic mirror surface hundreds of yards long, causing all the divine light cast by the Seven-Colored Peacock to fall into the mirror, disappearing without a trace like mud into the sea.
“Launch your swords!”
There, the sword light flared, and the Sword Array formed by over ten Sword Cultivators transformed into a huge sword that chopped down!
“Chirp!”
The Seven-Colored Peacock let out a mournful cry, its left wing hacked to the point that feathers flew about and blood gushed.
Xu Yuan flipped the Treasure mirror, and immediately the seven-colored divine light fell in reverse, actually refined by the Treasure mirror into Xu Yuan’s maneuver. Under the chaotic bombardment, the Seven-Colored Peacock’s neck was struck by the divine light, instantaneously vomiting blood non-stop.
“Excellent, the city lord’s magic is really omnipotent, truly a remarkable skill!”
Above the city walls, numerous Human Clan Cultivators were invigorated.
“Dad!”
Xu Xinghe also showed an excited expression, not expecting such a smooth victory over the Third-tier Late-stage Demon bird.
Within the entire city, only Ning Daoran’s brows were tightly furrowed, sensing something amiss.
Setting aside whether the Seven-Colored Peacock’s combat power was truly at Third-tier Late-stage, even if the Seven-Colored Peacock was indeed only a Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast, could you, Xu Yuan, with just a Magical Treasure and a so-called Sword Array, seriously injure the opponent within two rounds of combat?
Impossible. A Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast couldn’t possibly be so weak. After all, the Seven-Colored Peacock was known as the king of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, reigning over it for many years.
Its strength was definitely not inferior to that of the White Sheep Demon Queen. Even the White Sheep Demon Queen wouldn’t be brought down so easily, let alone the Seven-Colored Peacock.
“Chirp chirp~~~”
In the sky, the Seven-Colored Peacock, its feathers falling, fluttered its wings and turned to flee.
“You still want to run?!”
Xu Yuan’s eyes widened with vigour, his hands behind his back, holding the Treasure mirror as he chased the wind: “Xu Family Sword Array, follow me in slaying the enemy!”
“Yes, Family Head!”
The Sword Array was formed by the Xu Family’s own Sword Cultivators. The Xu Family had been operating in White Dragon Immortal City for many years, showing their deeply entrenched roots!
…
In the blink of an eye, the Seven-Colored Peacock rushed into the clouds behind it, followed quickly by Xu Yuan with the Treasure mirror in hand.
“It’s over…”
Ning Daoran felt a chill in his heart.
He didn’t intervene to stop Xu Yuan, firstly because it was too late, as Xu Yuan was too eager to slay his enemy and moved too quickly. Secondly, even if Ning Daoran would have warned of the deceit, Xu Yuan might not have believed him. Thirdly, Xu Yuan was the son of his enemy, Ancestor Xu, there was no need to bother with this matter.
“Chirp chirp~~~”
In the sky, the clouds suddenly burst open, and then, a gigantic Seven-Colored Peacock, with wings that could cover half of White Dragon Immortal City sprawled across the sky!
That was its true body!
An asphyxiating aura from the Demon Clan spread in the air, suppressing all!
This aura, at least that of Third-tier Peak!
And with a piercing cry, the Seven-Colored Peacock opened its huge mouth and a boundless demonic power swept through, catching Xu Yuan, who quickly raised the Treasure mirror, roaring, “Demon monster, dare you act so brazenly?!”
Yet, at this moment, the demonic power cast by the Seven-Colored Peacock had completely changed from before.
Amidst Xu Yuan’s roar, his body became immobilized, as if situated at the center of the Seven-Colored Peacock’s devouring storm. Quickly, the hair on Xu Yuan’s face began to erode, patches of skin peeled away, soon after that, his body’s Blood Essence was sucked away bit by bit, leaving behind nothing but a skeleton within three breaths’ time.
Even the treasure mirror in Xu Yuan’s hand was sucked away.
Such a formidable Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, to die directly under the spiritual pressure of the opponent, shows just how terrifying the real cultivation of the Seven-Colored Peacock is!
“Damn it…”
Ning Daoran turned around and, with sword in hand, he fled!
To fight stubbornly at this time would truly mean going down with Immortal White Dragon City, which was unnecessary indeed. True, he had some affection for Immortal White Dragon City, but not much.
“Chirp chirp~~”
The piercing cries sounded in the sky again, and in an instant, a dozen or so Xu Family Sword Cultivators didn’t even have a chance to escape. They were directly suppressed by the spiritual pressure of the Seven-Colored Peacock and then had their blood and flesh completely drained, turning into skeletons just like Xu Yuan, in a particularly gruesome manner.
“It’s over, all is lost…”
On the ground, countless City Guard cultivators stood agape.
The next moment, the Seven-Colored Peacock swooped down and clawed at the Immortal City.
“Boom~~~”
A large section of the city wall crumbled to dust, followed by the Seven-Colored Peacock suddenly opening its mouth, and in an instant, hundreds more Human Clan Cultivators had their blood essence drained.
Outside the city, the roars of the Demon Beasts became a chorus, and the beast tide began its assault on the now defenseless Human Clan Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoist Nalan, run fast!”
Ning Daoran turned, only to find Nolan Canghai and his wife being entwined by a Two-Horned Python. This Two-Horned Python was a Third-tier Middle-level Demon Beast, its mouth dripping with fresh blood—it must have already devoured many Human Clan Cultivators.
Nalan Canghai released two Second Order Puppets and, together with his wife, launched the Second-rank Frost Freeze Talismans continuously, but still could not withstand the attack!
“Hiss hiss~~”
The monstrous Two-Horned Python crushed the city walls, breaking into the city, its mountainous head swinging fiercely and smashing a Second Order Puppet into the heart of the city. In the blink of an eye, the Puppet fell apart, its parts scattering in disarray.
Then, the Two-Horned Python opened its gaping mouth and bit another Puppet to pieces.
The Frost Freeze Talismans hit its body continuously, forming patches of frost but failing to truly imprison the Two-Horned Python.
“Run fast!”
As the spiritual pressure of the Two-Horned Python bore down and it opened its great maw ready to swallow Nolan Canghai whole, Ning Daoran rushed to the rescue. The power of the Eternal Green Technique of the 21st Layer surged into his treasure sword, unleashing a sweeping strike.
“Bang~~”
The spot where the Two-Horned Python’s mouth opened was slashed, splashing blood everywhere, but such a wound was not fatal. Its huge body constricted rapidly, and its tail sliced through the air, viciously striking at Ning Daoran.
Amidst the explosive sounds, Ning Daoran blocked with the Qiushui Sword. His body crashed through several walls before coming to a stop.
“Run now!”
After his strike, the Two-Horned Python’s spiritual pressure dispersed, and the Nolan couple hastily escaped in tunneling light towards the depths of the city.
The Two-Horned Python wouldn’t let such delicious blood essence go. It stared at Ning Daoran with its vertical pupils and spoke in human language, “All of you are a fine feast for me, and none shall escape.”
Ning Daoran, however, did not care for its words. He sent out several sword qi strikes, helping the Nolan couple to flee.
Immortal White Dragon City had fallen, and it was unlikely he would stay any longer.
Ning Daoran had made up his mind. After this battle, he would leave. At this point, Immortal White Dragon City had turned into a true place of misfortune, extremely ominous!
However, when he looked up, he noticed that the Seven-Colored Peacock looked somewhat strange.
This Demon bird, which was likely more than just Third-tier, had, after breaching the walls, suddenly turned and looked towards the distance as if wary of something. After hesitating for a long time, it finally spread its wings and flew away, leaving Immortal White Dragon City.
By this time, a massive tide of beasts flooded into Immortal White Dragon City, and the city was on the brink of collapse.
“Run fast!”
While covering the escape of the Nolan couple, Ning Daoran also lured the Two-Horned Python deep into the city. Finally, when the Two-Horned Python ventured deep into enemy territory, a translucent and sparkling pair of antlers suddenly emerged from the ground with a “bang,” striking at the “seven inch” spot of the Two-Horned Python. In that moment, Ning Daoran leapt forward, with his fingertip poised above the head of the Python.
“You…”
The Two-Horned Python seemed to realize something, its vertical pupils contracting violently.
The next instant, a golden sword light burst forth at close range!
“Pu-chi!”
The Golden Silk Sword pierced through, directly penetrating the brain of the Two-Horned Python.
“You!!!”
Wild with rage, the Two-Horned Python swung its head, struggling to break free.
But Ning Daoran’s fingertip continuously shot out golden flying swords, enveloped in a misty Geng Metal Essence. In an instant, they turned the head of the Two-Horned Python into a sieve.
“It’s finished…”
A great hatred filled the Two-Horned Python’s heart—it had been careless, and now it was too late.

…
“Young master~~”
From the left, an overwhelming Demon Qi approached rapidly.
It was that Three-tailed Green Fox, with a coquettish voice coming from its mouth, but as it charged into the city and saw the lifeless, limp body of the Two-Horned Python, the Fox’s pupils contracted continuously, letting out an exceedingly shrill scream.
Ning Daoran frowned.
So agitated—could they have been involved? Well, he might as well send them on the same journey.
