Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

"Something's not right about them."

Su Jie's Divine Sense swept over the area. As he sensed the two approaching at an alarming speed, so too did they hasten their advance toward him.

"Be careful, we've got a master coming. Chen Yun, you take her and get out of here first." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

A serious expression crossed Su Jie's face. Judging solely by their speed, this enemy was no ordinary one, not at all comparable to the previous Righteous Disciples.

"Understood."

Without asking more, Chen Yun decisively picked up Yin Wenwen and retreated deeper into the mountains.

Ning Xinyue's eyes rolled around, also thinking of slipping away.

"You stay and draw their fire for me, I don't want to be outnumbered."

At this moment, however, Su Jie called out to Ning Xinyue to stay.

"Hmph."

Ning Xinyue pouted and said subconsciously, "So I'm your human shield again."

As they spoke, the silhouettes of the approaching enemies quickly closed in, appearing before Su Jie.

The leader, dressed in a blue robe, had a face like fine jade and a straight figure that exuded an extraordinary bearing. His body seemed to scatter the essence of starlight, casting a glow over the night like a myriad of dawn's colors.

Beside him was an extremely beautiful woman with a slender figure. With delicate eyebrows, bright teeth, and skin white as snow, she carried an ancient zither on her back. A shallow smile and light frown gave off an indescribable charm.

"So you're the one called Su Jie? We finally found you."

The man in blue took out a portrait of Su Jie, compared it, and then suddenly spoke with a chilled voice, "By the command of our master, Zhuang Liangru, the one to take your head is Du Shaochang of Guan Chao Pavilion."

Mo Shiyao slightly parted her red lips, a radiant, tender smile on her face, yet the words she spoke were filled with murderous intent. "Brother Du, don't waste words with them. Just kill this scum directly."

As she spoke, she floated more than a meter above the ground, taking the ancient zither off her back.

Her slender jade fingers fluttered like dancing butterflies, playing the ethereal music of the great path beneath the moonlight.

"So they've come specifically for me."

Su Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the impressive duo that had appeared, knowing this night would not end well.

"Hey, Su Jie, if we can't beat them, can we run?"

Ning Xinyue clung to Su Jie's arm, asking cautiously.

"We can, but I don't think we necessarily can't fight them."

Su Jie nodded. However, his words were overheard by the other side.

"Still thinking of putting up a futile resistance? See the gap between us."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Du Shaochang stepped toward Su Jie, his face filled with composure and the grandeur of a grandmaster, not taking Su Jie seriously at all.

"True Word—Thousand Sword Marvelous Sound!"

Mo Shiyao's fingers rapidly strummed, and the sound of sword chimes emanated from the ancient zither.

In the void, a number of translucent long swords materialized, the moon's glow giving each sword a layer of cold light, transforming them into divine swords as sharp as mud-cutters, aiming for Su Jie and Ning Xinyue.

Ning Xinyue pulled out the Jade Heavenly Book, its tadpole-like moving engravings forming a barrier that splashed ripples against the onslaught of the divine swords.

"True Word—Moon Wheel Slash."

Mo Shiyao's hands gently stroked the ancient zither, the pleasant and wonderful music suddenly becoming urgent.

The moon's essence in the sky turned liquid, forming a silver-white moon wheel ten zhang in size. It spun at high speed, its cutting edge slicing through the air, leaving a deep gorge in the earth as it traveled.

Zzzt!

The Moon Wheel rubbed against the engraving barrier, causing ripples to continuously spread across it. Both parties poured their Spiritual Power into their confrontation, gazing intently at one another across the divide.

"What a fierce woman,"

Ning Xinyue's expression grew solemn, the strength of Mo Shiyao was not to be underestimated.

"Xiao Qian."

Su Jie released the thousand-hand centipede from his sleeve. As soon as it touched the ground, it transformed into its original form tens of meters long, its hideous and terrifying bug body thundering forward, lunging at Du Shaochang.

"Mid Grade Four Refinement poisonous insect... no wonder you can act so violently for a moment. However, since you've encountered me tonight, your massacre stops here."

Du Shaochang's face underwent a subtle change, but he still maintained a cool demeanor, leisurely extending his left hand and lightly rebuking, "Vast and mighty sun, arise!"

Around him erupted tens of thousands of treasure lights as if he had turned into the sun itself, the intense shockwave sweeping in all directions, creating a spiral pit tens of meters in diameter on the spot.

Boom!

The next moment, Du Shaochang's arms reached out, blocking the two massive pincers of the thousand-hand centipede, his body turning as clear and translucent as jade, while terrifying power exploded from 36,000 acupoints all over his body as if he had lit up countless brilliant stars within him.

One was a colossal creature nearly forty meters in length, and the other was a mere two meters tall human.

The collision of forces between the two should logically have had no chance of surprise, and yet, surprisingly, Du Shaochang really resisted the violent impact of the thousand-hand centipede with his physical body alone.

"Jade Sun True Body."

Ning Xinyue let out a startled cry, recognizing Du Shaochang's special physique.

This was one kind of Sacred Body that was said to be able to grapple with Kunpengs when fully cultivated, with defensive strength comparable to mountains, possessing unpredictable divine might, and an unparalleled reputation in close combat.

"Just a poisonous insect, lie down for me."

Du Shaochang's face was cold, his arms exerting force, his body making strange sounds as if stars were shaking, Spiritual Power surging like enormous waves, his blood and Qi shooting up to the sky, attempting to flip the thousand-hand centipede onto the ground.

Fizz!

The thousand-hand centipede's cold bug eyes fixed dead on Du Shaochang, the bone armor on its head suddenly splitting open with fine cracks, purple light escaping from them.

Du Shaochang's face changed abruptly as he quickly disengaged and retreated at high speed.

Boom boom boom!

Purple Light Rays penetrated tens of meters into the ground, turning the area into a honeycomb.

Looking at Du Shaochang on the opposite side, his body was covered with fresh blood, his face, neck, and chest all bearing shocking wounds.

"I hate it most when people act tough in front of me."

Su Jie patted the head of the thousand-hand centipede, which was capable of much more than simply brute force.

Du Shaochang wiped the blood from his body, his entire person shining with treasure light and rosy clouds, the wounds slowly healing.

"To actually inflict injury on me, you're pretty good."

At this time, Du Shaochang's hair was disheveled, the crown that had been fixed upon his head had fallen in the fight, and with the blood not yet dried on his body, he looked somewhat bedraggled, but he still spoke with an air of arrogance.

"You'll be injured even more in a moment."

Su Jie patted the Sword Nourishing Gourd, waved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and, holding Ning Xinyue by the waist, they rapidly fled into the Dark Forest. The guy across from them was clearly a close-combat Cultivator, and Su Jie had no intention of engaging in close-quarters combat with his opponent.

"Thinking of escaping?"

Mo Shiyao slightly lifted her ancient musical instrument, moonlight sprinkling upon her, making her snow-white skin even more translucent and jade-like, her dress floating around her, as if she were a Moon Goddess who had descended from the moon itself.

Ding ding dong dong!

Mo Shiyao stood the ancient instrument up, strumming a series of notes toward Su Jie's direction.

Likes pearls and jade falling on a plate, the crisp and beautiful sound of the music rang out, as if the moon above descended, the moonlight turning into a colossal Luan Bird, screeching as it dove to grab at Su Jie and Ning Xinyue.

Meanwhile, Du Shaochang was crouching down, releasing a burst of power like a cannonball to catch up to Su Jie.
