Chapter 1523: Troublesome Pestering
After defeating the Great Devil Saint, Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine gave chase. If they failed to kill the devil and allowed him to enter the human territory, many would perish.
At this time, Liu Chun suddenly appeared and blocked the Great Devil Saint's path as he roared, "Beauties, let me deal with this big guy!"
As a Great Saint, Liu Chun was naturally decently talented. With a trident in hand, he unleashed his impressive combat prowess and attacked the Great Devil Saint. Instantly, space collapsed, and the sky was cleared of clouds.
The Great Devil Saint might have suffered serious injuries, but he was still not an opponent that could be trifled with. With a roar, he released a massive amount of devilish energy and brandished his four arms, plunging his surroundings into chaos.
The battleground of Great Saints should never be compared with a regular battleground. The battleground was so intense that not even regular Heaven Battling Realm cultivators could approach.
Even Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine would not dare to lightly approach such a battleground. They were not aware that Liu Chun had set his eyes on them. Because of that, they did not leave. Rather, they continued waiting for an opportunity to deal the devil a fatal blow.
"This person is strong, but it won't be that easy to defeat the Great Devil Saint," said Yu Caidie with her eyes narrowed.
"So what? In any case, we can't let the devil flee. Otherwise, many lives will be lost," said Devil Concubine.
"If he really manages to escape the battleground, I'll try to seal him with my energy. At that time, do your best to kill him," said Yu Caidie seriously.
"Can you even do that?" asked Devil Concubine doubtfully.
"You'll see," said Yu Caidie.
After Liu Chun and the devil exchanged about 1,000 moves, the devil finally appeared incapable of lasting any longer. Once again, he started fleeing. During the battle, Liu Chun had greatly exhausted himself and had also suffered some injuries. Thus, he couldn't give chase.
Just as the devil was about to escape, Yu Caidie and her phoenix mount transformed into a fiery phoenix and sealed the area with a curtain of flame. The phoenix flame burned the devil, causing him to wail in pain.
After fusing with her phoenix, Yu Caidie was able to unleash the might of a Great Saint. The flame she released was also extraordinarily powerful. No ordinary person could resist such a flame. The devil roared and waved his arms repeatedly, trying to tear the curtain of flame apart. He was not willing to die.
"Let me lend you a hand!" said Liu Chun excitedly as he flew over.
With great difficulty, he had finally gotten a chance to get to know this beauty. He naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity. But before he could reach the devil, Devil Concubine had already unleashed a terrifying sword after gathering energy for a bit. Black and white interweaved to form the river of time, causing time and all living things to freeze. Even Yu Caidie and the devil were affected.
"Kill!" With a roar, Devil Concubine swung her Yin Yang Sword, slashing the devil's body apart.
At this time, Yu Caidie recovered from her momentary stun. Her phoenix flame increased in intensity, burning the devil's body parts into nothingness, not giving the devil a chance to reconstruct his body. As for the devil core, it landed in her hand.
"Haha, Saintess, you are truly amazing! Even a Great Devil Saint is not your match!" praised Liu Chun with a hearty laugh.
Liu Chun wasn't someone with good looks, but his Great Saint Realm cultivation gave him an extraordinary temperament. Additionally, his royal battle robes served as the perfect tool to showcase his status.
He was someone from the Great Han Dynasty's imperial clan. Unfortunately, he came from a branch that had long declined. Only after he rose in power did the branch reclaim their position among the imperial clan. These days, they enjoyed a high status in the dynasty.
Liu Chun's gaze constantly swept over Yu Caidie's and Devil Concubine's bodies. The adoration in his eyes was clear for all to see. Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine had encountered numerous pursuers before and could naturally sense his invasive gaze. They immediately understood what he was thinking.
"Thank you for the help. You can have the devil core," said Yu Caidie as she tossed the devil core over.
However, Liu Chun did not accept the core. He smiled and said, "Since this is not my kill, the core is naturally yours. Shall this marquis accompany you in the hunt next? I am Great Han Dynasty's Gentle Spring Marquis, Liu Chun."
He was afraid that the two were unaware of his extraordinary status, so he emphasized who he was to them. Alas, the two did not seem to care. They merely nodded politely before moving away to rejoin the battlefield.
More and more devils were invading, and many humans had perished. A large number of devils had scattered all over the Dusk Dynasty, spreading chaos and destruction. It was basically impossible to stop all the devils, as there was no sealing formation around the entrance. It wasn't surprising that some devils were able to slip through the front lines.
Liu Chun knew about the two's origins and was also aware of their arrogance. Thus, he did not give up. He continued pestering them shamelessly while thinking to himself, A day will come when I get both of you on my bed! Hehehe!
One could say that he started thinking with his lower body instead of his brain ever since he saw them. He completely ignored the people behind the two women. Since he hadn't done anything drastic, the two did not say anything, but that was not the case for the wolf guards around them. One of them stepped forth to carry out his duty and stopped Liu Chun.
"Please distance yourself from the two young ladies," said a fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm wolf guard.
As a marquis, Liu Chun naturally had a group of attendants with him. One of them was a peak Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. Without saying anything, that person stepped forth and attacked, seriously injuring the wolf guard.
"Are you blind, dog? You dare block the path of our marquis?" berated the Saint domineeringly.
The exchange attracted the other wolf guards and Ziling Sect members. All of them rushed over, including Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine. When the two women saw the injured wolf guard, their eyes turned cold.
"Are you the one who did this?" questioned Yu Caidie as she looked at the peak Saint.
Devil Concubine also demanded, "Cut off the hand you used to attack him or die."
The wolf guard had been injured because of them. They naturally couldn't ignore his injuries.
The Saint remained silent. Instead, Liu Chun stepped forth, smiled, and said, "He is merely a non-human servant. He is not worth your anger. If you follow this marquis, I can organize a group of servants even stronger than him for the both of you."
"You're courting death!" shouted the two.
Liu Chun frowned and said, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to harm you?"
"No, you wouldn't," a different voice suddenly rang out.
