These people did not hide their auras, and their frighteningly strong auras caused many low-level spirit beasts to flee. Only those rank seven spirit beasts let out angry roars.
There were four people in this group, three men and one woman. All of them had reached the Mystic Thearch level. Judging from the strong aura they exuded, they all carried an evil and bloody smell.
Needless to say, these four people were the Supreme Elders of the Black Demon Sect.
"These years, we have found a few mineral veins in the Death Mountain Range. Unfortunately, they were all low-grade or mid-grade. I don't know if this crystal mine can reach high-grade!" The old woman with disheveled hair said in a hoarse voice.
A tall and skinny old man on her left replied, "It's good enough to have a mid-grade crystal mine. It's not easy to want a high-grade one!"
Another person replied, "It doesn't matter what grade it is, as long as the quantity is enough. It can fill up the financial resources of our Demon Sect. These years, the Sect Leader has been in seclusion. Our Demon Sect's prestige has been declining day by day. Even a small First Emperor dares to occupy a city within our sphere of influence. This is really damaging to our prestige!"
"This matter has already been decided in the sect. Since the mystery of Hell City's death has been solved by that kid, we might as well wait for him to consolidate the city before taking over. I don't think he can cause any more trouble."
"I heard that the kid has some ability. Now that even the kid from the Martial Spirit Court has been suppressed, he is in the limelight. Once the crystal mine is excavated, we can go and take over the city. We can't let him be arrogant anymore."
…
The four of them chatted as they rushed to the crystal mine.
However, when they were about to reach their destination, they immediately noticed that one of the auras had disappeared, and there was another hidden aura that flashed by.
"Not good, that's the crystal mine. Something must have happened!"
The old woman was the strongest among the four of them. She was also the most perceptive. She immediately sensed that something was wrong. She cried out in surprise and rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
The three Emperors beside her also chased after her at the same time.
After the Savage Leopard killed the Half Emperor and the spiritual beast, he focused his attention on the crystal mine. When he sensed a powerful aura approaching, he immediately charged out of the cave.
Savage Leopard thought to himself, 'Two of them have an aura similar to mine, and two are slightly weaker. This lineup is truly powerful, and I can't fight them head-on. I need to return to the city and call Mad Tooth over to destroy them before taking them for myself.'
Savage Leopard's strength increased greatly, but he was not a reckless person. After distinguishing the strength of the other party, he immediately made a decision.
He rushed out of the cave and fled in the opposite direction of the person.
"Where do you think you're going, you scoundrel!"
A middle-level Emperor of the Black Demon Sect cried out in alarm. He threw a black fist toward the leopard.
This fist was like a mountain, quickly and swiftly smashing towards the back of the Savage Leopard.
The Savage Leopard had already sensed the terrifying power coming at it. Its body constantly changed, and very luckily dodged it.
Rumble!
That black fist carried a powerful destructive power, causing the forest in the distance to collapse.
Because of the obstruction of this fist, the Savage Leopard was surrounded by the four opponents, and their aura was tightly locked on him.
The old woman pointed the bone staff at the Savage Leopard and shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you kill people of my Demon Sect? You must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"
"Why are you talking nonsense with him, Yin Juanjuan? He killed people of my Demon Sect, so he must have discovered the secret of the crystal mine. We must not let him leave here alive!" The middle-level Emperor said.
The Savage Leopard looked around at the four people, and finally, his eyes fixed on the old woman. His face showed a bit of ridicule, "Yin Juanjuan, you stinking brat, I didn't expect you to live until now. You don't have any of the coquettish energy from back then, and you've actually become an old woman. Even a man can't get hard when he sees you. I don't know how you're going to play the dao of dual cultivation, haha!"
The old woman's expression stiffened, and then her half-squinted old eyes revealed two rays of resentment. Her stooped body slightly trembled, and she shouted, "You … Who the hell are you? Why haven't I seen you before? Quickly tell me your name, and I'll let you die a quick death. Otherwise, I'll definitely torture you to the point where you wish you were dead!"
The old woman's real name was Yin Juanjuan. She couldn't remember how many years it had been since someone called her by this name. Even she herself had almost forgotten this name. Others had always called her "Yin Lady" because she had turned into an old woman that was neither a human nor a ghost, and it was really scary.
Back then, she was also a beautiful woman who was infatuated with thousands of people. With the protection of heavenly treasures, she wouldn't easily age.
However, thousands of years ago, she betrayed the man who had always been indifferent to her. In the end, that cruel man broke her vitality and almost took her life.
Later, although she survived, it was difficult for her strength to advance even half a step in her life, and her appearance gradually aged.
Not many people in the sect knew about these past events, and her changes over the years had made people forget that she used to be a stunning beauty, a slut who often seduced strong men to cultivate the Dao of Acacia.
The young man in front of her knew her identity at a glance. How could this not surprise her?
She tried hard to search among the men who had made love with her thousands of years ago, but she found that there was no impression of this man!
When the other party understood her, but she knew nothing about the other party, anyone would feel incomparably uncomfortable.
"Haha, you stinky girl, there are countless men who have ridden you in this life. Thinking about it makes people sick. Now that you've become a ghost, it's really retribution!" Cruel Leopard once again provoked Yin Lady and laughed.
Back then, Yin Lady was also one of his generals. At that time, Yin Lady was as beautiful as a flower, and had a lot of temptation to him. However, when he knew that Yin Lady liked the Dual Cultivation Technique the most and had slept with countless men, it made him feel disgusted, so he never had sex with this woman.
He didn't expect this woman to hook up with his traitor in the end and betray him together. It could be said that this woman was also one of Cruel Leopard's biggest enemies.
Yin Lady was so angry at Cruel Leopard that smoke came out of her seven orifices. Her body kept trembling, and her aura became a little chaotic.
"Don't be angry, Yin Lady, he's angry at you. Let's work together to kill him first!" The middle stage Xuan Emperor reminded.
However, Cruel Leopard took the initiative to attack first.
Devil Blade Third Style — Devil Slaughters Emotions!
This was the Devil Blade Eight Style Xuan Skill that Ling Xiao had passed down to Cruel Leopard. It was a tyrannical Devil Blade strong move that was very suitable for him. The power of each move could be said to be terrifying.
A large amount of black qi and blood qi kept surging, and the terrifying blade aura slaughtered towards Yin Lady who was in a daze.
Even before the saber aura reached them, that terrifying and intense killing intent had already caused them to feel boundless fear and cowardice.
Following Cruel Leopard's move, the Xuan Emperors in three directions also made their moves at the same time.
A large amount of dark attribute aura instantly covered a range of thousands of meters. It was as if a black curtain had suddenly descended, making people feel strange.
Rumble!
The terrifying destructive power turned the nearby mountains and forests into flat land.
"Not good, this is a feint. He's going to run!" The middle stage Xuan Emperor exclaimed and took the lead to rush in a direction.
It turned out that Cruel Leopard's move just now was to make them think that he was going to kill Yin Lady. Unexpectedly, after he made his move, he had already turned around and ran.
Cruel Leopard was not afraid of death and did not dare to continue fighting, but he needed to go back and ask for help. Occupying this crystal mine for himself was the most important thing at present.
Moreover, he was not confident that he could defeat the four people in front of him with his own strength.
When escaping, Cruel Leopard had already summoned the Devil Armored Leopard.
In terms of speed, he, a middle stage Xuan Emperor, might not be as fast as the Devil Armored Leopard. Moreover, it was much more patient.
Cruel Leopard did not want to expose his identity and did not return in the direction of Wind Cloud City. Instead, he went deeper and planned to make use of the higher tier spirit beasts here to get rid of the entanglement.
"Damn it, do you think you can escape like this?
I will definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death and become my human pet! "Yin Lady let out a mournful roar and chased after him like a ghost.
At the same time, she also summoned her protective spirit beast.
A dark-attributed flying Spirit Beast with a huge body and a strong evil intent was constantly letting out cries that soared into the sky.
This was impressively a Black Wind Eagle that was at the middle stage of the seventh tier. Its speed was like lightning and instantly caught up to Cruel Leopard. It spread its wings and immediately a black tornado swept towards Cruel Leopard and the Black Devil Leopard.
Cruel Leopard cursed in his heart, "Damn it, how could I forget that this Mount Zi has this spirit beast!"
Cruel Leopard had no choice but to turn around and slashed at the black tornado with the Blood Devouring Devil Saber in his hand.
The saber aura broke through the wind, but it also made his cheeks hurt. At this time, Lady Yin and another middle-stage Mystic Thearch had already arrived. The two of them opened up a large amount of world power at the same time and blasted towards Savage Leopard.
Yin Lady's World Power was like a bloodthirsty old witch, constantly sucking the strong man's essence energy. It looked extremely disgusting and vicious!
The other middle stage Xuan Emperor's World Power was like countless black man-eating mist flowers blooming. It carried an endless reproductive power and swallowed towards Cruel Leopard and the Devil Armored Leopard.
One look at these two's World Power and it was obvious that they were not good people.
"It seems like I have to expose myself!"
Cruel Leopard was shrouded by the two great World Power and knew that it was difficult for him to escape. He could only fight with all his strength!
Then, his Boundless World Energy was also deduced. Boundless blood sea, boundless corpses, with a strong sense of death and slaughter, it made people feel as if they were in hell. That feeling of fear instantly filled the hearts and minds of Lady Yin and the middle-stage Xuan Emperor.
This was especially so for Lady Yin. Her old eyes became extremely dull as if she had seen something terrifying. She exclaimed, "No … Impossible. How can this world's power appear again? You … Who are you?"
Yin Lady's panic gave Cruel Leopard a chance to attack.
