Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 86 - 86 86 Fried Egg

86: Chapter 86: Fried Egg 86: Chapter 86: Fried Egg Due to the enormous size of Emperor Jiang’s wings, despite the large quantity of Go stones, they were not densely arranged; there were still some distances between each stone.

Black stones crisscrossed to form pitch-black lines, and on these lines raced the sharpest edges in the world, with Purple Lightning and Frost speeding along them.

As Yin Baishuang slowly lifted her arm, her gaze cold, she made a casual move as if placing a stone…

Boom!

A blood light erupted behind Emperor Jiang like an angry wave, instantly slicing a massive wing into countless chunks of flesh and feathers.

The chunks of flesh and feathers then fell into the unwavering formation of black stones beneath, disintegrating into a blood-colored mist.

Within the crimson tide of blood and mist, a giant black egg, the size of an adult, fell beneath the severed wing of Emperor Jiang.

Yin Baishuang’s lips curled with a sneering cold smile as she gently traced her lifted index finger across the falling egg.

One hundred and eighty black stones were neatly arrayed, swiftly descending, raining down upon the egg!

Emperor Jiang, with one wing destroyed, was already in pain and fury.

Now, seeing that reckless woman daring to strike at his benefactor, he erupted with an immense anger.

His body erupted in flames, and his gigantic palm harshly reached out for those one hundred and eighty black stones.

Not a single stone was missed—all were caught in his palm, the fierce blaze in his palm burning and crushing every one of the black stones into ash.

Yin Baishuang swayed slightly, her complexion suddenly pale.

Those one hundred and eighty black stones were all transformed from her own vital essence, their power immense.

However, as they were destroyed, her own essence also suffered significant damage, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Emperor Jiang’s other palm reached out, ready to catch the dark egg.

Who knew that the woman in white was faster, her sword finger flicking lightly, casting a translucent Sword Intent, which nailed the black egg directly into the inner wall of the ancient cave.

Crack-crack!

The black eggshell instantly cracked, its long-cherished life essence quickly draining away.

The woman in white, cloak billowing, smiled, “This young and yet unborn, already knowing to play dirty tricks from behind the scenes, stirring up storms.

Were it to hatch, what then?

Better to be an honest wallet egg.

Xiao Ming, start a fire.”

With that, she seriously took out a small salt shaker from her waist, chuckling, “Luckily the captain on the ship gifted me this shaker of salt, which I casually kept.”

Xiao Ming, feeling powerless, rubbed his forehead.

Still, he followed her order, cradling a ball of fire in his palm and casually tossing it towards the black egg.

How could Emperor Jiang let them succeed?

It was a mortal sin that his negligence had allowed his benefactor to be injured—if his benefactor ended up turned into a wallet egg by these righteous folk, especially his primary target for slaughter, it would be a great humiliation in his life as a demon!

With only one wing remaining, it no longer folded halfway, furiously flapping and thus, the space within the Demon Cave was insufficient to accommodate the spread of its wings; the pointed feathers even sheared off a mountaintop.

The Gale brought about by the wings blew away the fireball, and in a rage, Emperor Jiang threw a huge fire column punching toward the three of them.

The whole space boiled under the high temperature of the fire column.

Yin Baishuang flew with her Sword Control, casually releasing a white stone, ready to escape.

The white stones lightly dropped from her fingertips, swallowed by the darkness below, and there was no response at all.

The fire column was already upon her, and when she had no place to dodge, a white figure swept in front of her.

A single flick of Sword Intent released thousands of Sword Butterflies, which surged upward.

Despite the vibration of the wings of the Sword Butterflies, the momentum of the fire column didn’t diminish, but altered its trajectory instead, twisting upward in mid-air, and heading towards the sky.

The entire pitch-black sky, the dark clouds, all were ignited under the force of this punch, half the sky ablaze.

Yin Baishuang did not thank the woman in white but instead looked down at the white stone on her fingertip and frowned.

“Don’t look anymore; since someone has intentionally lured us here, naturally, they won’t leave us an easy escape route.”

The woman in white’s face also became slightly grave as she looked up at the fiery sky, reminding herself the Primordial Demon Saint was certainly not easy to deal with.

“If the white stones cannot move and leave, then we will leave by Sword Control.

I’ll hold off Emperor Jiang!”

Xiao Ming’s body erupted in flames, and as he spread his right palm, a three-foot-long blazing sword ignited in bright blue flames, forming in his hand.

“Delay?

How long can you hold out alone?

On the other end of the Endless Sea lies Kongcang Mountain, inhabited by mortal mountain people, and beyond Kongcang Mountain lies the Mortal World’s cities.

If you let this Primordial Demon Beast, Emperor Jiang, go unchecked, how many innocent mortals do you think will perish in this chaos of fire?”

The woman in white slowly drew the long sword from her back, removing the seal, her expression solemn, “Emperor Jiang referred to that egg as its benefactor, which means that the egg must be closely related to the Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Zhao He, and it must be eliminated!

Miss, please make another move and destroy Emperor Jiang’s other wing as well.

That way, our chances of winning will increase greatly.”

Moqi Hall, black and white pieces: Black stones control the Hidden Killing Array, white stones control life and position switching.

One hundred and eighty white stones, one hundred and eighty-one black stones.

Had all one hundred and eighty-one black stones been collected to set up the Hidden Killing Array, it was likely that Emperor Jiang would lose more than just a wing.

Unfortunately, Yin Baishuang used a black stone at the start to divert Emperor Jiang’s attention and stealthily placed one behind him.

Yin Baishuang gripped the white stone at her fingertips and glanced at the woman in white, “I’m not undergoing a tribulation; the one hundred and eighty-one black stones have all been used up.

Do you think I can utilize the power of the black stones again in a short time?”

The woman in white said helplessly, “So it was a one-time killing move.

Then why don’t you stand aside?”

As the words fell, Emperor Jiang’s attack came once again.

His enormous palms faced the sky and clenched forcefully above his head, the heavy fiery clouds instantly forming two massive burning cloud vortexes overhead.

The dark mass of Yin Crows in the sky was swept up and incinerated by the vortex.

The clouds above were quickly emptied by the flames, the two vortexes intertwined and stirred, with both the fierce winds and raging flames obeying Emperor Jiang’s command.

The towering ancient trees atop the Demon Cave mountain were uprooted and burned clean, the vortexes forming a massive flame tornado, spiraling directly towards the three of them.

Xiao Ming’s eyes hardened, and just as he raised the blazing sword in his hand, the woman in white’s calm voice came through the scorching gale.

“Stop wasting effort; Emperor Jiang is a Fire Demon Saint, far more powerful than you in Fire Control.

This is the Ancient secret Fire Demon Vortex Technique.

With your current mastery of the Fire Scripture, I’m afraid you can only enhance its demonic flame’s power.”

Xiao Ming stiffened but lowered the blazing sword in his hand.
